Of course, it was Chu Yuanxi with the light, Yu Yanan had been lying on his back and watching it for a long time, and at this time, when he saw Chu Yuanxi's barrage, he suddenly "giggled" and laughed wildly.

Chu Yuanxi felt that it was not interesting, turned off Douyin, and then immediately heard Yu Yanan let out another series of exclamations: "WeChat payment has been restored, but my money has not been returned! I paid twice, what about WeChat's customer service? Why is there no customer service?"

Seeing Yu Yanan frantically clicking in WeChat, looking for and looking for customer service, Chu Yuanxi hurriedly beckoned to her. Yu Yanan swam along the sofa like a fish, only to hear Chu Yuanxi say: "You save it, don't you know that there is no customer service on WeChat?" ”

"But, but ......"

"But what, do you think the penguins are not in a hurry? Swallowing your money is unlikely. Chu Yuanxi said and opened his mobile phone to look at the group, and found that the collapse had lasted for more than twenty minutes. Someone in the group spit out sharply: WeChat treats everyone equally, not only our users can't contact customer service, but also can't contact Penguin!

But looking at the group information, Chu Yuanxi's face became very weird, and Yu Yanan stabbed him: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. ”

In fact, Chu Yuanxi thought of a very serious problem, based on the vomiting of water friends in various groups, WeChat does not seem to have the concept of payment failure? The so-called payment failures are similar to the unsuccess caused by insufficient balance, but the failure of not sending out money but not entering the other party's account. This is a serious problem.

He also plans to do mobile payment, but the original world has never done mobile payment, and he is completely on paper about mobile payment.

Originally, I thought that there was no too difficult technical problem, the difficulty lies in promoting their own means of payment, allowing users to use, allowing merchants to use, and access bank cards and credit cards.

But looking at it this way, it seems that the development itself is not without difficulties, at least not as easy as imagined. Don't look at WeChat and Alipay, which are usually called the empire's double walls, Alipay at least has no problem with the payment logic, not only has the concept of "payment failure", but the full amount is directly refunded in the original way.

However, judging from tonight's performance, WeChat doesn't seem to be, so there is no such thing as a refund in the original way?

In fact, think about it, in terms of user experience, I usually feel that WeChat is no different from Alipay, but can it be the same? Alipay is a professional to play money, while WeChat's major is social, and playing money is just a side business.

Therefore, there are any problems in this logic that need to be discussed with the siege lion. WeChat, a behemoth that has been making payments for many years, and has been praised by Jack as a "sneak attack on Pearl Harbor", will have such and such problems, let alone himself?

This brings a very real problem, in the milestone plan he formulated, milestone 6 first on the city treasure, then on mobile payment, and finally in milestone 7 to vigorously promote well-off payment.

Therefore, the R&D of mobile payment was originally planned to start in the second half of Milestone 4, and Milestone 5 only has a little more than a month, and it will be too late to wait for Milestone 5 to be developed, and it will be necessary to leave time for testing. In addition, there is the issue of applying for a payment license, although the difficulty of this problem is very small at present, but it is also necessary to guard against accidents.

Now that's what he's thinking about, what if the technical difficulties are much harder than he expected? It's very likely, because he hadn't done it in the original world. Just watching others do it, I think it's so simple, as soon as I get started, 360 degrees without dead angles, there are too many such people, such as Mr. Gongsun. Why do you have to go well?

The development plan must be advanced. Fortunately, they are all in a milestone, and they don't even need to change the budget, Chu Yuanxi made up his mind to talk to Liu Lu tomorrow, no, notify Liu Lu now, and start preparing for recruitment.

Why does Chu Yuanxi and the well-off think that mobile payment is difficult? Because Chu Yuanxi makes mobile games, and people who are engaged in mobile games are too familiar with mobile payment on the Android side! Isn't it krypton?

All Android mobile games are actually mobile payments, but the price of goods is only a few fixed gears, and the highest gear is habitually set to 648. Generally, players will choose Alipay or WeChat when recharging, but the standard configuration of mobile games must include players paying directly through bank cards.

Therefore, from a superficial logical point of view, as long as the payment of mobile games can be done, mobile payment can be done. But WeChat's collapse tonight revealed what appears to be a deeper problem. In this sense, Chu Yuanxi has to thank Yu Yanan for allowing him to watch the collapse "in person", instead of waiting until he listens to others' reports afterwards or reads online posts to experience it.

Payments like WeChat that have been made are fine, and only users who are hurt will have palpitations. The lack of basic user trust for new entrants to make payments, after all, is a major matter related to cash, and if the well-off pushes the payment in the future, it will basically be yellow, and the valuation will collapse.

When Chu Yuanxi was sending Liu Lu a WeChat message, Yu Yanan finally gave up, threw the mobile phone on the sofa, lay down on all fours, and let out an incomprehensible sigh: "Why do you say you can't buy happiness with money?"

"It's not that money can't buy happiness, it's that you can't buy that little money. ”

"I'll bite you to death!"

"Come on. ”

............

The next day, that is, on October 30th, Chu Yuanxi arranged for Liu Lu to recruit in advance, and at the same time invited Guo Jiangyong, a back-end master who was originally subordinate to the Baren Game Intermodal Department, to the tea room.

Guo Jiangyong's relationship is in the Pakistani group, and now he belongs to the "Enemies of Rome" project team.

The main job of the intermodal department is to connect the developed games to the SDKs of various channels, and the most critical part is the access to the recharge system. In the early days of mobile games, when publishers were not yet on the rise, each game company built its own intermodal department, connected its products to major channels, and directly shared accounts with the channels.

Later, the operation mode of the industrial chain gradually refined, and the publisher understood the traffic and operation better, and gradually became stronger, so the industrial division of labor was formed, and the R&D party generally had to find a strong publisher to act as an agent, and they were only responsible for making high-quality game products. Therefore, the intermodal work is basically done by the publisher.

However, Ba Ren is a game company with a huge traffic pool, and it will not look for a publisher at all, so the work of connecting channels has always been to build a joint transportation team by itself.

This work is quite boring, and there can be no mistakes, the game itself has a bug, nothing more than to apologize to the player, send a compensation package, but the SDK error, the player recharge order to get lost, then the fun is great!

When Guo Jiangyong was the main engineer of intermodal transportation, Chu Yuanxi knew this person, he was very good at receiving SDKs, and he never dropped orders when he recharged, leaving a lot of effort for the test team. Such a person feels that Chu Yuanxi should be reliable to do mobile payment and the like.

Yu Wenhui had been the project manager of "Out of the Mountains in Troubled Times" before, and he also knew his ability, so he was transferred when he formed the double-ended team of "Enemies of Rome". This is considered to be promoted from the United Transport to the project team for Guo Jiangyong, so he is quite happy, but then the situation suddenly changed, "The Enemy of Rome" was suspended, and he should have returned to the United Transport as the back-end, or incorporated into the Ba Ren game, but Yu Wenhui was reluctant, so he left him in the group.

In this way, he will not follow the Ba Ren game to Lingxi, there is no identity problem, and today Chu Yuanxi wants to talk to him about the option of transferring to a well-off post.

This kind of thing must be discussed, and it is not something that Chu Yuanxi can directly decide with a stroke of his pen, but it involves the interests and interests of employees. In this regard, Chu Yuanxi has always maintained respect.

As a result, when Guo Jiangyong heard about the transfer, he thought that he was transferred to Zhao Jie to develop the platform, but he didn't expect that he would be transferred to Xiaokang?

"Yes, I was transferred to Xiaokang, and the Ba people left their jobs. Chu Yuanxi said and took out a form. He had previously operated a group of employees to be transferred from Ba Ren to Xiaokang, but none of them were at the core level, mainly the ground pushers under Liao Xingxing, and the clerks from Barana, which had no interest. But Guo Jiangyong is different, he has options, some of which are very close to being converted into equity, and he suffers because he is not a member of the "Out of the Troubled Times" group, and the number of options is not much.

However, staying in Pakistan, it is possible that he will get more equity in the future, as well as dividends and DKP from the project team, as long as "Enemies of Rome" can be successful.

It can be said that ordinary companies do not have this kind of hope at all, of course, Xiaokang is not an ordinary company.

"Regarding the situation on the well-off side, because we have always worked together, you must have heard a little bit about it, but I don't know how much you know. Chu Yuanxi said, seeing that Guo Jiangyong was already looking at his watch carefully. In the table is the situation on the well-off side, including salary, benefits, and options under the OKD system, etc., and most importantly, the position that Chu Yuanxi intends to give him is the manager of the mobile payment project team.

Guo Jiangyong must have been moved, because this can be regarded as a promotion and entered the middle-level management post. And mobile payment, as long as you have a clear mind, you know how important it is to know a little bit about the mobile territory of the Celestial Empire. Guo Jiangyong is obviously not stupid, the manager of this project team, it is almost inevitable that he will be upgraded to a business group in the future, and there are not many well-off management levels, and he will be the vice president if he goes up a little further.

However, he actually thought too much, today Liu Lu's OKR was promoted to the highest priority, looking for a vice president-level executive with a technology development foundation and experience in mobile payment for the well-off, Liu Lu can no longer wait for the time to talk about it, and suddenly, today has become "time".

Of course, this is not Liu Lu's job alone, because Chu Yuanxi suddenly raised the priority to the highest, and the most urgent, no matter who anyone can help the company recommend the right person, they can get an option, as long as they are recommended, the reward for successful entry is higher.

What if you can't find someone? Chu Yuanxi first took over this product line. That's how abilities are trained, no matter what the world.

Anyway, Guo Jiangyong was still a big soldier when he joined the company last year, and he started to manage other people's code when he mentioned the position of the main Cheng in Ba, but I didn't expect that a year later, it was possible to manage people?

"Mr. Chu, I, I have no experience as a project manager, this project is so critical, can I do it?"

"No one is born with everything. You are about the same age as me, you have no management experience and no social experience? Chu Yuanxi smiled, his ability and morality are very important when selecting people, and management experience is ranked behind, especially for the R&D department, work experience is very important, and management experience can be made up in other ways.

Besides, the essence of leading troops to fight is that they will be stupid and stupid, so that they can fight wherever they want. The project manager still belongs to the category of soldiers, the squad leader and platoon leader, if the mind is particularly active, they are as experienced as Jin Xu who was fired after the National Day, and every day he thinks about how to rob the military exploits of friendly troops, eats empty amounts and drinks the blood of soldiers, then he still fights a fart battle, and learns from Chang Kaishen's diary to strengthen the country!

"As for your options and DKP in the Ba people, I think so, DKP will be transferred to the well-off in equal amounts. Xiaokang does not use the DKP system now, but it is not that it does not provide an incubation environment, so if you want to start a business within Xiaokang one day in the future, this DKP account is well-off. Moreover, you will record this as a case to the well-off side, and use it as a sample reference for future job transfers and institutionalize it. ”

"What about options?"

"Options can't be institutionalized, your options are quite difficult to get around, and they are issued according to value. ”

The so-called value-based issuance is to give tens of thousands of options worth of options, not how many shares are given. The number of shares is simple, and the value is converted according to the valuation and exercise price at the time of exercise. After the rapid expansion of the Ba people, it is no longer suitable for the number of hair, so many people are sent like this, and now it has become a problem to change jobs.

So Chu Yuanxi had no choice but to give a way that he was not very satisfied with: "Your options, which expire in the first year, will be confirmed as the equity of the Ba Ren Group to be reserved for you, and the rest will be converted into equivalent well-off options according to the current valuation of the Ba Ren Group and Xiaokang, and the shares will be converted into shares in 4 years." The valuation is based on the valuation of the well-off A+ round and the Baren Group to do the equity repurchase for the game company brothers, so is it okay?"

In fact, this is equivalent to a well-off with an option for the entry reward to attract newcomers to join, many small start-up companies have nothing but options to do this, not to mention recruiting project managers, that is, recruiting program apes are given a large amount of options.

Seeing that Guo Jiangyong was stunned for a moment, Chu Yuanxi shrugged: "Do you feel that you have suffered a loss?"

"No, no, no. Guo Jiangyong smiled embarrassedly, he really felt that there was a problem at a certain moment just now, because start-up companies recruit people to give options, in other words, Xiaokang didn't use the options that were originally given to let the Ba people have a leftover?

"It's not a loss, it's really not a loss. "Chu Yuanxi still doesn't know what he thinks?" "Xiaokang recruits people below the middle level basically do not give options, but type them into OKR task packages and let employees earn them themselves. ”

However, it is still necessary to give some options to recruit executives, such as the entry of CTO Zhou Mingjun, the entry of CSO Cao Xiang, and so on.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine. Guo Jiangyong hurriedly put his hands out OK, otherwise it would be bad if Mr. Chu misunderstood.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, "Actually, Mr. Chu, in fact, I think Zhao Jie's platform plan is quite attractive, originally I wanted to ask if I could go there." In other words, your game is very profitable, why do you want to build a platform?"

"Why? Because 'Out of the Mountains' is so successful. "Chu Yuanxi has a key position, but it is a matter of concern, just take advantage of the chat to get to know Guo Jiangyong better, maybe he will be his confidant in the future, and he can't always stay at the level of understanding.

"Actually, there were a lot of roads that could have been taken behind the Ba Ren game, but there was already such a successful project, how to go? Many of the roads that could have been taken suddenly seemed low and blocked.

There is a method called 'finding a successful methodology', which is actually to keep repeating one's previous routine, without any pursuit of single-mindedness.

This road has been mixed up for a few years by habit, but it is just to cash in some money, and it is definitely getting worse and worse, and it is impossible for you to eat for a lifetime. Not to mention whether the user is annoyed or not, how long can you endure your routine, and it is impossible for the copycat to let us eat as a family, you have performed a successful methodology, and a group of people must rush in, and the profit will definitely shrink. ”

In fact, although the first wave of copycat "Out of the Mountains" project died and pounced, even the penguins were not spared, but it was the social contempt chain that was in force. But the social contempt chain is also strong, and if there are more cottages, there will naturally be people who will cross over, and the cottages are not necessarily fun, and people should continue to iterate and innovate micro-innovations. Back then, "My Name is MT" was a hundred, and even created the illusion that copycats could never cross it, but it was crossed by "Let Go of the Three Kingdoms" in an instant, which is an example.

In fact, this is also an important reason why Chu Yuan Xiken sells Ba people's games. At this time, when Guo Jiangyong heard this, he had to nod again and again.

"So, a goal like "Enemies of Rome" is a way out, and there is always something to be done in China that is different from "Out of the Mountains in Troubled Times" and is also very great, right? ”

Guo Jiangyong smiled: "Actually, I think it's good to make money with a boring head, hahaha......"

Chu Yuan Xixin said that of course it's good to make money, the problem is that it's enough to sell the money from the Ba Ren game, and continuing to make money at a rate of hundreds of millions per month can't satisfy me!" "In short, Xiaokang is a strong toC enterprise, you have a lot of work to do in the backend, correspondingly, the rewards of OKR tasks will also be very rich, work hard." ”

"Hey, Mr. Chu, when it comes to toC, why do I listen to Jack Ma's speeches and always say that the future is toB?"

"You listen to their nonsense!" Chu Yuan Xixin said that Guo Jiangyong was quite studious, but it was a pity that what he learned was superficial. "You have to learn to think for yourself, what is the future in toB and whatever, you have to see who is fooling. They have to do toB if they do the top toC, you understand?"
