"Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome to join Tongtian Technology!"
On January 29, on the eve of snowfall, a biting northwest wind blew in Shanghai, and the chill was gusting, but the conference room of Tongtian Science and Technology was crowded and lively.
Not only did Ning Zhiyuan and Zhang Gongquan, who returned to Beijing on New Year's Day, go south as promised, but they even brought 4 newcomers, all of whom graduated from Tsinghua University with bachelor's and master's degrees, and the two master's brothers who attracted Chang Tianhao's attention the most.
Ning Zhiyuan introduced: "This is my senior brother, graduated with a master's degree in 94, his surname is Deng Maopi, Mao's characters are not very easy to write, plus homophony, he is always called fur by others when he reads, he corrects it to no avail, and simply makes a mistake, and names himself Mao Tired in "Chivalrous Travel", don't look lazy, but it is a serious and powerful goods, and a latent court eagle dog...... This flower name is so famous that no one shouts the name in the circle of classmates, and the most strange thing is that once he went to the post office to pick up a package, and the signature was also cat fatigue, and people almost didn't admit it!"
The crowd leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
"Senior Brother Mao is working in the Xishanju game room of Jinshan Company, just came back from Zhuhai, and wanted to find a job in the capital, but I persuaded him to come to Shanghai......"
Mao tired smiled: "Actually, Xishanju has been quite a workout in recent years, "Swordsman Love" was developed by our group, I am the No. 2 convener, but I have a slight difference in concept with them, they also like to go to stand-alone games, I think the next step will be the world of online games, I heard that Tongtian Technology is preparing to develop "The Legend of the Water Margin" and other online games, I am very interested......"
"This is also my senior brother, who graduated with a master's degree in 95 and whose surname is Wu Chiji...... The red halberd is his real name. Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chi Ji introduced himself?"
Chi Ji touched his head and said embarrassedly: "I am from Liaoning, you know, Yuan Kuocheng, Liu Lanfang, Tian Lianyuan, and Shan Tianfang are all from Liaoning, so my father and grandparents all grew up listening to the storytelling, and they especially admired heroes and heroes...... To be honest, I'm 32 years old, and to this day I haven't figured out which Fang Tian's halberd in the commentary is red?
I asked the old man, and the old man glared at him, and said, "The general went out on the expedition, there were many dead and wounded, and there was blood of the enemy chieftain everywhere, what is Wuchi? I can't say anything about him! Besides, if you don't call it a red halberd, you have to call it a silver halberd, a white halberd, and a yellow halberd, and then the red halberd listens majestically......
Everyone laughed even harder this time.
Zhang Gongquan added: "Senior Brother Chiji works in the Beijing branch of Zhiguan Electronics, and participates in the post-game maintenance and expansion development work of "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" and "New Shu Mountain Swordsman". ”
Chang Tianhao asked curiously: "What is it?"
"Obviously he is the boss of Qianzhuang, but he is actually the mastermind behind the Jianghu Yuedan Commentary, if there is any trouble, he will comment and arrange the hero seat......"
"Disrespectful, disrespectful. ”
Chang Tianhao said with a smile: "Several heroes have flower names, and the rivers and lakes are famous, I think the company can also follow suit, otherwise every day Mr. Wang and Mr. Chang are a little uncomfortable to call it like this, and it is okay in public, and the company's internal occasions, especially in emails and meetings, use flower names as much as possible...... My nickname is Master. ”
He thought for a while and added: "Shanghai is a special situation, many professionals still like to take English names, my English name is Contini (Contini), you will also toss a ...... for yourself when the time comes."
Wang Huiling said: "My English name is Linda, and my flower name is Mandala...... I agree with Tianhao's point of view that in the future, there will be fewer titles within the company and a sense of equal participation will be created as much as possible. ”
Everyone nodded, and everyone else was very happy, and this is the biggest difference between a youth-led startup and a traditional large enterprise - dynamic, not about seniority, only about ability and contribution.
Generally speaking, this kind of company is usually very small in scale and very weak in strength, but Tongtian Technology is different, when Ning Zhiyuan and others came last time, the company still had only two floors of office buildings, and a month has passed, not only the entire building has been bought and turned into a Tongtian Building, but even the vehicles that greet them have become tiger heads: Xishanju and Beijing Zhiguan have not yet had this pomp, not that they must not be able to afford it, but they have not reached this one. Tongtian Technology just has it, can this kind of strength be underestimated?
Capital, vitality and creativity are simply a paradise for successful people.
Not only did Ning Zhiyuan, Zhang Gongquan and others, who had come to the site to investigate, resolutely go south, but even 4 people, including Mao Wei and Chi Ji, decided to come to Tongtian Technology just to get relevant news from their mouths, which is the influence of word of mouth.
For their ability and qualifications, not only Tsinghua people were convinced, but even the employees of Hujiang, Tongji and Jiaotong University recruited from Shanghai also expressed their recognition. After all, the world of programmers is simple, and strength is king!
With the addition of personnel, the number of regular employees of Tongtian Technology has reached nearly 100, plus a bunch of part-time students, the number of people is nearly 200, and the expansion of office production is indeed inevitable. After buying all 11 floors, I suddenly had a lot of money.
Nearly 10,000 square meters of office area, calculated according to 10 square meters of one person, can accommodate 1,000 people at the same time, even if taking into account the factors of investment and Internet cafes, and considering the expansion of the office area to 15 square meters per person, it can also achieve 500 people at the same time.
A company of 500 people is not small, especially in the field of Internet and gaming, it is definitely a well-known giant.
In this era, Brother Tianqiao's Shanda Network has not yet been founded, and Chang Tianhao thinks that it may not be so easy for him to get started; as for Jiucheng, another game company in Shanghai, although it started a little early, its development speed lags behind Tongtian Technology, and even their main Gamenow virtual community concept is also being reasonably borrowed.
According to Tianhao's proposal, the business department will be divided into two divisions: the game division and the software division, the former focusing on various game development, and the latter focusing on non-game software development. ”
Wang Huiling glanced at everyone and said, "In view of the rapid expansion of the company's personnel, scale and projects, in order to optimize management, the two business divisions do not have business department directors for the time being, and still implement a flat project team management method." I am responsible for the approval of the administration and daily office, and the business issues are reported to the creative director by each project manager, and at the same time submitted to the general manager's office for the record.
I want people from all walks of life to stand out from the crowd and not be held back by preconceived notions. The company will launch an internal competition in September to determine the candidates based on the actual work performance and various abilities in the past year. Because these two directors not only need technical ability, but also need management ability, Tongtian Technology's employment method will be guided by performance appraisal. ”
The management model is of practical significance, with the gradual increase in personnel, the later entry into Tongtian Technology employees, their ability and resume are more and more glamorous, which is fully in line with the law of business development, as Tongtian Technology is more and more rich, more and more systematic, more and more talents will yearn for.
But this will inevitably have a huge impact on the old employees who entered the company in the early stage: when the company was still weak and sluggish, they bet their careers on the company, and now you are ready to abandon or marginalize the old employees when you are a little stronger, which is not conducive to the stability and unity of the team.
With the addition of a large number of IT engineers, the entire business department is divided into relatively clear factions: one is the Tsinghua faction that has gone south, with amazing knowledge and bright resumes, although the number of people is less than 15%, but it has a lot of energy; the other is the students who graduated from Shanghai's local universities, especially the three schools of Shanghai, Jiaotong University, and Tongji, which are considered to be the elite troops of the local snakes, and they occupy at least 25%; and the last group is the more numerous other personnel who graduated from the so-called general colleges, and they occupy the vast majority of positions.
There is a chain of contempt between famous schools, and there is a chain of contempt for the port and other provinces, and Tongtian Technology is a company that is completely from scratch, and the difficulty of management is gradually increasing. In order to prevent the solidification of the organization from causing damage to this structure and vitality, Chang Tianhao racked his brains and launched a flat project management system, performance guidance and open application mechanism, trying to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses and stimulate vitality
This decision was unanimously endorsed by many backbones.
"Finally, reiterate the ...... of the next time node control"
According to the predetermined goal: on January 31st, the game community and virtual platform of Tongtian Technology - Biyou Palace will be launched, and all the games developed or introduced by Tongtian Technology in the future will be carried out based on Biyou Palace, and the account names across each game will also be selected and named Tongtian Order!
Biyou Palace released the first online game on the same day, the online chess and card site - Huizhi World Public Beta, it is obvious that the game is benchmarked against Beijing Lianzhong World. In addition to Lianzhong, there are not many sites for tossing chess and card games in the country, mainly relying on local portals to survive, Chang Tianhao hopes to spread the world of wisdom to the whole country by taking the initiative, and has prepared up to 1 million yuan of publicity and promotion fees - such a large amount is incredible in the eyes of other companies, but for Tongtian Technology, since it is a hit, it cannot be too stingy.
The number of people online at the same time in January has approached 2,000, and the strength should not be underestimated, and Chang Tianhao's proposed goal is to achieve corner overtaking within three months!
After deploying the work, Chang Tianhao took Shen Lili and Yan Guangming, who were going south at the same time, to visit around.
Yan Guangming was extremely shocked and said: "Tianhao, I can't believe that you tossed this scene in just one semester, if it weren't for our three years classmates, I would be familiar with your every move, I must have thought that now you are someone else's fake." ”
In fact, he was not wrong, Chang Tianhao is really a fake, a reborn person after 20 years.
"There are gains and losses...... You see that I haven't even taken classes well this semester, and the whole person feels completely alienated, and I still envy you for being at ease by the Weiming Lake. ”
"This is different, you can choose, we don't have to choose......" Although Yan Guangming is a serious and rigid person, he sees the problem to the point, "You broke the shackles of thought and began to embrace the world." ”
Chang Tianhao turned his head: "Lili, do you think so too?"
Shen Lili nodded lightly and shook her head: "Tianhao, it's difficult not to forget your original intention!" Although you used the name of the master, I think you really can't go back to the original master...... In the future, will you half-jokingly and half-seriously say to us: I regret choosing to give up academia and found Tongtian Technology?"
Repentance and creation of the master of the heavens?
Chang Tianhao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sighed with a heavy heart: "Maybe it will really ......."
