管理是創業成功后才談的事兒
What about those first two or three people?
怎么管理最初的兩三個員工呢？
Well, ideally, you're successful before you even hire two or three people, right?

In, in the case where you're doing something where you need some sort of super advanced technical thing.

who knows this thing and nothing else in the world including, like how to wipe his mouth.
只關心技術，心無旁騖
Then it may be to your advantage to hire said boffin and wipe his mouth for him. But. Okay.
你最好是招募他們，為他們做好“后勤保障”工作，好的
As a general rule, you want people who are, sort of self-motivated early on.

They should be just like founders.
