Chapter 109: Should You Burn Money or Burn
"Have you ever changed jobs recently, and I saw the recruitment information of Yigou, which is quite tempting!"
In addition to BBA, Zhongxing, and Warwick, how many Internet companies can offer this kind of annual salary at this time. ”
"Also, my classmate bragged last year that he took 400,000 yuan a year at OFO, and he was laid off last week, and now he is looking for a job with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan. ”
"I want to resign! I've already submitted my resume!"
"In Jiangcheng, such a remote second-tier city, do you really want to go?"
"Why does my intuition tell me that Jiangcheng will rise?"
"I also have a similar resume, but the qualifications are not enough, don't you see the above recruitment conditions? ”
It's impossible for an internet company not to burn money.
It's just that some companies burn money to spend on advertising, marketing, and grabbing the market.
In order for Yigou to develop, it must also burn money.
In Yigou's financial book, there are more than 60 million left after Warwick's capital injection, as well as Yigou's profit of more than 1 million in the past two months.
It's not a lot of money, but it's enough to survive for a year and enough to support system development.
The average annual salary of Warwick is about 600,000, the annual salary of Microsoft Xia Guo engineers is about 500,000, and the average annual salary of Ali and Penguin is about the same.
Yigou's annual salary is more than one million yuan, which is enough to make many people greedy.
Moreover, there is still a little expectation in people's hearts!
Yigou is an Internet company that has just been established and has been favored by Warwick, Yigou Translation and Ozawa Voice are even more popular in the market, and now joining Yigou is equivalent to participating in the initial development of Yigou, an Internet company is so good in the early days, what about the future?
"Are you sure you want to resign?" said Zhongxing, Software Development Department.
On the desk of the supervisor Zhang Rong is the resignation report of Lin Li, the head of the development team of a key project, who is nearly 40 years old and has made the most important decision in his life.
The last time he made a decision was at the age of 25, when he gave up the opportunity to go to Microsoft headquarters in the United States and left Microsoft to come to Zhongxing.
"Your decision is rather unwise. You're not a young man in your twenties anymore. Zhang Rong's heart set off waves, after all, Zhongxing's treatment to Lin Li was not low.
"The current employment situation is very bad, many Internet companies just raised hundreds of millions of dollars yesterday and may go bankrupt tomorrow, you have to think about it carefully. ”
Lin Li, like many code farmers in his forties, is facing a mid-life crisis.
On the one hand, his physical strength and energy are not as good as before, there is a high mortgage, as well as the education of his children, and the pension problems of his and his wife's parents, all of which make Lin Li angry.
On the other hand, in the middle star. He stopped at the middle of the department, unable to move up because of various willingness, doing the most tiring work and bearing the greatest pressure on a pitiful salary.
It's decided!
Lin Li clenched his fists.
Zhang Rong made the final retention: "Lin Li, as far as I know, you have a monthly mortgage of more than 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, and now that you have resigned, how can you pay for the house? And your children are in a private primary school, and the annual expenses are more than 100,000 yuan, right?"
Lin Li said: "I'm going to sell the house in Shenzhen. ”
"What!" Zhang Rong was startled and said, "Lin Li, you're crazy!"
Lin Li said: "Mr. Zhang, I have already thought about it, and I am ready to go back to my hometown Jiangcheng to apply for a job in Yigou Company." ”
"What kind of small business is Yigou, and how much is the salary?"
Lin Li said: "A small Internet company with a salary of one or two million, I have already received an interview notice, and I am confident that I can succeed in the interview. ”
Lin Li bowed slightly, as a thank you to his old boss for so many years of care, and then left Zhongxing without looking back.
Looking at the back of Lin Li's departure, Zhang Rong sighed deeply, this is the third engineer in the department to resign this year, and they are all backbone elites who are capable of doing things, why can't they retain talents.
But what the hell is that translation dog? Can you make an annual salary of one or two million?
Zhang Rong searched for information about Yigou on the Internet and found that it was just a small company that cooperated with Warwick, and he really couldn't understand why Lin Li would choose such a small business in a second-tier city.
Guangyao Building, the headquarters of Yigou.
After a rigorous screening and Xiao Ming's personal interview, a team of 25 computer engineers was formed.
In addition to examining the candidate's business ability, Xiao Ming's interview is more important for logical thinking.
In the conference room, Xiao Ming said to everyone: "You used to be the elite of the IT industry, some of you worked at Microsoft, and some of you worked at Zhongxing and Penguin. You may have been the best in the IT industry, and you have your own glory. ”
Xiao Ming's eyes swept over everyone, with a maturity that did not match his age.
"From today onwards, everyone should forget about the glory of the past, and together we will open up a new business and start from scratch. ”
Xiao Ming said: "Yigou will sign a confidentiality agreement with everyone, and before the project is completed, everyone cannot disclose their actual work to the outside world, not even their families." If I see any news about the project outside, including on the Internet, Yigou will pursue legal responsibility. ”
Is it a big project to be developed?
The engineers looked at each other, and everyone was confused.
are all speculating about what major projects Yigou will do. Smarter voice or more powerful translation software?
Even if there is a cooperation with Warwick, Yigou is obviously a very small company.
Qianyi's price confidentiality agreement was sent.
Everyone was shocked to see the title of the agreement - the non-disclosure agreement for the developers of the Pangu operating system project.
Moving on, the first paragraph is an introduction to the Pangu OS project.
Yigou intends to develop a PC intelligent operating system and a mobile terminal operating system.
Now, the engineers are talking.
"Operating system?Develop operating system!?"
"Is it based on the Linux kernel?"
"Or is it an in-depth formulation of Android technology, just like Xiaomi and Warwick?"
Everyone is the elite of the IT industry, a small Internet company is like throwing money to develop an operating system, whether there is this strength, not to mention, whether it can get a place in the world of WIN and Android, IOS, everyone has a huge question mark.
It's not that there are no companies that develop their own operating systems, and Arlie is one.
However, Arry OS can only meet the needs of its own devices, and it seems impossible to compete with Android in the market.
Arri, who has a market value of more than 500 billion meters, has no opinion on developing a system that can compete with Android and IOS.
Engineers are now skeptical of Yigou's strategic positioning, and even wonder if Yigou is using the project to invest in Warwick.
Xiao Ming said: "I know that everyone has a question mark in their hearts, and please keep the question mark in your heart." Because time will give you the best answer, and you will be the architects of great times. ”
Xiao Ming didn't say too much, let alone give a brainwashing and passionate speech, he believed that the engineers would have their own conclusions in their hearts after entering the working state.
