Google新员工工作一年 70万美元买加州豪宅
豪宅的主人，Google新员工李星觉得自己的收入很有限，而“那些在Google工作4年以上的人就很不一样了。他们的收入都上千万美元了”。
李星是一年前加盟Google的。
那时候Google即将上市，李星拿到的内部员工股票期权价格是80美元。
一年之后的今天，Google的市值已经让人“高山仰止”。300美元上下浮动的股票价格，让外界广泛流传着Google员工发家致富的传说，前不久就有报道称Google新贵们源源不断在公司附近的加州阿瑟顿（Atherton）小城购房买地，实力强劲，令人瞩目。种种传闻不禁让外人浮想联翩：是不是在Google工作的个个都发家了。
“其实没有那么多，”李星说，“我到Google时间短，虽然期权的价格拿得还不错，但是收入也很有限，那些在Google工作三四年以上的人就很不一样了。”这种差距是极其巨大的，“在这里工作4年以上的人收入都上千万美元了。”
其实对新人李星来说，他也算不错了。今年年底，他将入住在加州新购置的联体别墅，价值70万美元。飙升股价
Google股价从一年前上市时的每股85美元，一路飙升到300美元左右。
“市场对Google的反应是因为自原始股上市后，它的业绩极大地超出了人们的预期。”位于纽约华尔街的SusquehannaFinancial公司的分析师马瑞尼·沃克（MarianneWolk）在接受本报记者采访时说。
“因为我们的技术力量提供了非常好的产品。”戴比·弗沃克（DebbieFrost）说。弗沃克在Google专门负责国际媒体的相关事宜，“我们和用户之间建立了很强的忠诚度。”
在哥伦比亚大学商学院电子信息研究中心的项目管理人员珍妮（JennieBourne）认为，Google的巨大成功是因为它免费而且功能强劲。
“当你使用Google,你所搜索到的相关信息是最多、最好时，它的名声也就传出去了，而且网络使用者一旦习惯了一个搜索引擎，就不愿意再换了。”一个在美国IT业工作多年的软件工程师说。
Google从创业到现在这么大的声势，从来没有做过广告，口口相传造成的效应已经使Google在英语口语里成为一个动词，和搜索（search）同样的含义。
新闻记者出身的珍妮认为Google的信息尤其是新闻，不是出自编辑的控制，而是由每个人选择的。
“Google体现了互联网的自由精神，”珍妮说，“当你得到超强的搜索效果，同时又使用起来非常简单时，Google自然要成功了。”特色管理
而这一切都来自于Google富有特色的管理。
“Google所拥有的那种技术和管理水准，我只有在以前的贝尔实验室见过。”珍妮说。
“这里牛人特多。”李星说。
李星来自中国山西，来美国后在杜克大学读计算机博士，毕业之后加盟Google，这对他来说是非常理想的。之前，李星在纽约的IBM做过半年左右的实习生，觉得Google的总体素质相对要高。
“尤其是技术方面，我们创始人和元老的技术就极强，再加上申请的人多，选择也多，”李星说，“技术强的都来这里，这有很多人拿过奥赛金牌。”
据李星说，很多人来Google工作，薪水都比以前低，但就是冲着Google富有创造性的工作环境和带来无限希望的股票。
以技术见长的Google，对技术人员的管理也相对宽松。Google没有从上到下严格的管理体制，也不主张软件工程师局限在一个固定小组中，职工根据自己的兴趣选择工作的方向，在一个小组工作一段时间，公司会鼓励你换一个组。
“我觉得这里自由多一些，创新多一些，工作起来就很有激情。”李星谈到最近微软公司员工跳到Google，很大一部分冲着在Google工作的创造性。
不过跳槽到Google的微软员工，最轰动的也就是李开复了，美国华盛顿州西雅图高等法院法官史蒂芬·冈萨雷斯上周四刚刚裁定他还不能立即赴Google上任。
“李开复来Google的时候我们也都见过，在一起聊过，”李星说，“他是那种管理和技术都特别棒的人。”美妙前景和大多数来Google的人一样，31岁的李星对Google的前途极有信心。
华尔街的分析师们在这点上也有着相同的看法。Google的股票在前两天浮动到300美元，但是宝德信（PrudentialFinancial）的分析师马克（MarkJRowen）重申了他对Google市场潜力的肯定，把对Google的估计价格从284美元提高到400美元。
在7月22日的一份报告中，这位分析师提到，Google在表现相对较弱的第二季度收入增长是110%，其每股盈余显著超过了所有的估计。宝德信预期Google的每股盈余和收入都会持续稳定地增长，从而带动其每股的股票价格。2005年和2006年的每股盈余预期分别从5.34美元增长到5.52美元、7.1美元增长到8.36美元
这样的利好趋势对李星来说听起来会像音乐一样悦耳。
Google的员工在获得公司股票期权之后第一年可以卖出25%，以后每年都可以卖出25%，4年之后可以全部卖出。李星在Google待了一年，他刚刚在Google股票达到300美元的时候卖出25%的期权股票。
80美元期权，他只出手了四分之一。且别说将来，现在他已经在寸土寸金的加州湾区以70万美元的价格买了一幢160平方米的房子。
李星的房子今年年底建成，是有3个睡房的联体别墅。离Google有15英里的路程，开车也就是十几分钟。虽然他的很多同事都买的是几百万美元的房子，李星还是对自己买到房子感到很幸运。在加州，因为购房太贵，大部分家庭都是租房而居。
“如果没有Google的股票，对我来说是不可能在加州买房子的。”李星说。 （注：应采访对象要求，文中李星为化名。）

I located EuiKea.com by chance. It provides multiple shop project around China with high return on investment, or ROI. "Basically, the profit margin is 2~4 times. The whole project includes high scalable items. 18K RMB is enough for a delicate mini store, and 56K for a standard one. If you start on the right foot, it is easy to earn your investment back in 3 months"

The post was first published at SAC forum by Mr.Nie, who is the second generation leader of independent software providers. Now he is breaking a new path in International Trade, and need to find those people familiar with SE optimizing.
He said to authors, "While minor software market become saturated, why not make your first tentative debut in non-software market?"
His article continues ..
What I want to do is the traditional products, whose keywords are not competitive and easy to get top positions in Google, Yahoo and MSN. For example, my income from some tentative products is very considerable, although there are only 500K items listed on Google.
The cooperation is very easy. I am engaged in traditional distribution channel offline, both retail and wholesale, including cargo shipping from CN to the US, Handling purchase, consignment, and after service. The candidates are dedicated to optimize Search Engine and get commission for each purchase.
Most customers will place the order online directly, and others will enquire by phone first.
Now CN has become the biggest provider for the US. We have best precondition, so why not? Selling products from CN is only a way to make profits. It is a trend all over the world. No company can live without CN products.
First we ship volume cargo to the US, and store at our company based in the US to lower distribution cost.
Ebay is another good way to sell products. But the price there is lowered by hot competition. The result is positive, and we can sell several hundreds purchase of one of our products there.
Comment from Sam: Divide the whole procedure into several sections in order to avoid competitors tomorrow from partners today. You can find a female delegate to handle these complicated jobs.
Another example unveiled on July 10, 2004.
An expert from Canada optimizes one keyword for a health product. Now the keyword ranks in top 10, and his income per month is about 9k.

It is an exciting article from CSDN software forum.
"If you focus on foreign market with top technique, agile marketing skill and expert English, it is easy to earn 200KUSD/month."
His story:
I still doubt the perspective of software half years ago. Now I have only one feeling about it, "I find a gold mine". Remember: technique is rudimental, and most important, and don't attempt to open the fortune by the marketing skills only. Your technique should be non-duplicatable, and there should be adequate customers who need your software. Now there is no secret in Internet marketing, and anyone can master it with ease. So you should have an optimum, high-enough core technique in order to kill your competitors.
Perfect product, proper pricing, stable distributing, and SE-forum promotion will contribute to your success.
Math is your wife, which will accompany your whole life.
English is your valentine, which will improve your decent prestige.
Programming languages are just prostitutes. Nothing more than a toy. But C++ is by far the best one.
