Chapter 58 Recruitment
Ye Tianming has always kept the office workplace he had previously looked for for Li Mu, with an area of about 70 square meters, divided into three rooms with different large, medium and small areas.
One of them occupies half of the area, is a fairly open office area, is currently very sparsely placed six workstations, but this can accommodate at least ten people to work, in addition, there is a small conference room of more than 20 square meters, and an independent office of more than 10 square meters.
Li Mu called the owner of several resumes at nine o'clock in the morning to inform him of the interview, and among the four people, except for Kong Lingyu, who had a mobile phone, the others left a pager number, and it was a little troublesome to notify.
Li Mu's first notice was Kong Lingyu, the web development programmer from Huaxia Yahoo, Kong Lingyu hadn't gotten up when he received the call, and when he heard that there was an interview, he was very vigilant at first asking the other party about his origin, because he was asked by many companies to go for an interview in the past few days, but he only knew that the other party was not a serious Internet company at all, and many people recruited web developers just to build a corporate page, which made Kong Lingyu very depressed.
He always thought that Jinling, as a second-tier city, although it is not as large as Yanjing, its development speed should not be much weaker than Yanjing, but after coming back, he realized that Jinling is still a barren place on the Internet.
Except for some local forums and local chat rooms, Jinling has nothing more fresh Internet products, not to mention the portal, its own website home is a unique thing.
On the phone, Kong Lingyu asked Li Mu in detail: "What is your company's core business in the Internet field?"
Li Mubian said: "The core positioning of our company is to develop a website for online music listening and downloading. β
"Audition website?" Kong Lingyu asked rhetorically, already a little interested in his heart, at least it belongs to the real Internet business category.
Li Mu explained: "You can understand it as a portal with music as the core. β
Kong Lingyu still knows a little about audition websites, and now there are many online audition websites, and he often listens to songs on similar websites when he goes online.
"Okay. Kong Lingyu didn't think much about it, so he agreed, and said, "Please tell me the time and place." β
"I'll send you the address by text message later, the time is today, the sooner the better. β
Subsequently, Li Mu received calls back from others one after another, and the interview time was finalized one after another.
In order not to make Li Mu look too shabby during the interview, Ye Tianming immediately found the staff in charge of the management of the building, and in less than an hour, he gathered the desks, guest sofas, conference tables and other office furniture needed for Li Mu's office and conference rooms.
It looks like that's the case, but Li Mu didn't even have time to register a company, and originally wanted to register the company first, but after thinking about it, most of the websites are personal websites now, and there is no need to register a company specifically for the website.
Kong Lingyu arrived at eleven o'clock in the morning, and he was surprised when he found this office building, this is a first-line office building in Jinling, and the company that can rent a workplace in it should still have some financial resources.
However, after seeing Li Mu, the surprise in his heart was several times stronger than before he entered the door!
"You shouldn't be twenty years old, right?" This was the first thing Kong Lingyu asked after seeing Li Mu.
"That's right. Li Mu didn't hide it, and nodded: "I haven't gone to college yet, in September this year." β
Kong Lingyu is a person with a lot of Internet thinking, he knows several laws in the Internet field, one is ability does not look at age, and the other is awesome and does not ask about the source.
So Kong Lingyu asked Li Mu curiously: "Since you are about to go to college, why do you want to start a business in the Internet field?"
Li Mu said lightly: "I went to college offline and started a business online, and the two are not in conflict. β
Online and offline are still a new word, Kong Lingyu's eyes couldn't help but glow: "You're right, besides, I do have a lot of spare time after going to college." β
Li Mu nodded, straight to the point: "Let's get down to business, I read your resume, it is more in line with my current needs, I hope to have a technical director to help me be responsible for the development of the easy-to-listen part, as well as the maintenance after the development is launched, in addition, the server and testing part also need the technical director to be responsible for coordinating." β
Kong Lingyu asked: "What does partial development mean?"
"I've started the development myself, and I'm about 20% done at present, but I really don't have time to get it, so I hope that a technical director will be responsible for me, and lead other technicians to solve all the development of the website according to my requirements. β
Kong Lingyu was even more surprised, the eighteen-year-old teenager is not new to starting a business, judging from the fact that his project has not yet been launched, he can rent such a place first, and eighty percent is a rich second generation.
However, the eighteen-year-old teenager will develop a web page, which is too rare in China, after all, the domestic high school has not yet fully popularized the microcomputer class, and even if high school students want to learn programming, I am afraid that there is no suitable opportunity.
Li Mu saw that he was a little skeptical, so he took his notebook, showed him his unfinished project, and said, "You can take a general look, this is just a preliminary background logic." β
Kong Lingyu took the computer in surprise, flipped through a few pages of code, and his opinion of Li Mu immediately changed greatly.
Code is a boring thing, but at the same time it's an art, an art that borders on mathematics.
For example, a certain function of the program is a mathematical problem, different technicians have different ways to solve the problem, not everyone can solve the problem, and not everyone has the most labor-saving solution, so the programmer sees better code, just like a mathematician sees a better way to solve the problem, and can see the level of the other party at once.
Kong Lingyu just looked at a few pages of code, and felt that Li Mu's web programming strength was even higher than his own, if he let himself write code according to the same requirements, even if he wrote it, I am afraid that the length would be doubled!
The length of the code not only represents the programmer's mastery of technology, but also represents the programmer's logical ability.
The more concise, direct, and logical the code, the more it represents the strength of the other party, and even the talent and attainment.
"Excuse me, where did you learn programming? Your level is far above mine, and in my opinion, it seems that the level of English level 4 is the same as the English level of the Americans, the gap is too big. β
"It's not that outrageous. Li Mu waved his hand: "The most important thing in the code is not to write, but to think before writing, just like doing a translation, if I ask you to translate 'How are you?', how do you translate?"
βHowοΌareοΌyouγ Kong Lingyu blurted out.
Li Mu opened a document on the computer and said, "You type it out." β
Kong Lingyu immediately typed the nine letters "How-are-you" on the document.
Li Mu pulled the computer to his side with a smile and typed as he spoke: "If it were me, I would write it like this, you can take a look." β
After speaking, Li Mu handed what he had written to Kong Lingyu.
Kong Lingyu was stunned when he glanced at it, what Li Mu wrote turned out to be: "How-r-u"
There are only five letters.
"This ......" Kong Lingyu was a little puzzled.
Li Mu smiled: "The pronunciation of r is the same as are, and the pronunciation of u is the same as you, so this is enough for the other party to understand." β
In fact, computer language has a lot in common with human language, and a programmer is a translator who translates human language into computer language and makes the computer understand, and people who are proficient in language and can think will use the most simple and direct way to make the other party understand, which is the foundation of programming.
Kong Lingyu was even more impressed by Li Mu, and he vaguely felt in his heart that Li Mu should have had the experience of studying overseas, or had studied with overseas programming masters, otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a deep understanding of programming.
Li Mu made a metaphor, and also bypassed Kong Lingyu's previous question, he told Kong Lingyu about his general plan to make it easy to hear, and after speaking, he said confidently: "The era of online audition has not really come, and the era of MP3 popularization has not yet arrived, now do a good job in this business, and have the opportunity to become Baidu or Yahoo in the field of online music in the future." β
Although Kong Lingyu does not know when MP3 will be popular, he agrees with Li Mu's point of view that online music is a convenient service provided by the Internet for netizens, and more and more people will definitely have this demand in the future.
