Chapter 36: The Preparatory Period (2)

Seeing the two programmers waiting in the conference room for an interview, Chang Tianhao almost couldn't hold back his laughter: There is a door!

It was the weather in November, a few gusts of north wind came down, the temperature had dropped a lot, and both of them were dressed in suits and shirts, which was normal, but there was a door and there was a door, and neither of them wore ties, and the shirts inside were all standard plaid shirts.

Could it be that this kind of professional dress has been popular since this era?

If it weren't for the fact that both of their hair were still intact, he would have planned to ask for someone directly.

Personnel greeted the two with a smile on their faces: "I am very happy to come to our company to apply, please allow me to introduce today's interviewer, the middle is the general manager of the company, Mr. Wang, and the gentleman next to him is the company's creative director, Mr. Chang...... Please introduce yourself first. ”

Of course, the opposite side also showed a suspicious look, because whether it was Wang Huiling with the title of general manager or Chang Tianhao with the title of creative director, they even had some doubts about whether the company was formal or not, but looking at such a big scene, it was brand new office furniture and layout, and it didn't look like a bag company that was abducted, so the two of them looked at each other and decided to talk about it first and then look at it.

"I Liao Zhonglei, a native of Jiangsu, graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Soochow University, 30 years old this year, and was originally ......"

"I, Jiang Changhong, a native of Jiangxi, graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Shanghai University, 31 years old this year, and was originally ......"

Chang Tianhao nodded, the personnel work is still hard, he explained, the programmer must have a bachelor's degree in computer science from a regular college, have certain development experience, and the age is best between 30-40, both of which are in line. Of course, he has expectations for his academic background, and it is impossible for the computer department of the top Qingbei, Shanghai, Jiaotong and Zhejiang colleges and universities to come to his own small temple, and Suzhou University and Shanghai University are also very good 211 engineering schools.

"We clearly posted a job description about the development of Internet café management software in the job posting, I wonder if you have any work or similar development experience that you can prove?"

Jiang Changhong hesitated for a moment and said: "My last company is also a software company, we developed a set of beauty salon management software together, although I am not a project manager, but the whole project is I participated in the whole process, and finally the software was successfully developed, my Internet café industry and beauty salon industry have similarities, and the experience is figured out." ”

Liao Zhonglei is more straightforward: "I work in a machine tool factory in Shanghai, in charge of automation and digital circuit control, and the efficiency of the factory has not been very good in recent years, so I also write some software or crack some software in my spare time to earn some pocket money...... This summer, there is a junior high school cafeteria to upgrade the meal cashier, I found a set of software to crack and modify and sell it to the school, to achieve the magnetic card dining, the operation is very stable now, I think my ability should be able to be qualified for this position. ”

From this resume, it can be seen that Jiang Changhong is the development sequence of the Eight Classics, and Liao Zhonglei is obviously the first generation of lone ranger-style programmers.

Hearing the word "crack", Wang Huiling couldn't help frowning: Chang Tianhao set the company's main software development direction, and she has recently made up for software knowledge, "Computer News", "Popular Software" and other things that she likes to watch or not.

Chang Tianhao smiled: There are many representative programmers in the early days of China similar to Liao Zhonglei: Yan Yuanchao, who made CCDos, Zhu Chongjun of CCED, and Bao Yueqiao, who developed UCDOS, etc., all single-handedly made a famous software by one person in the early days, and as for the endless cracks in the early barbaric era, it was nothing - can it be called theft by technology?

"Okay, hearing is false, seeing is believing, let me see the demo of the two of you. Chang Tianhao smiled at the personnel, "Director Sun, please bring the company's laptop over and take the projection live demonstration, by the way, help me bring the notebook over and ...... it."

Only then did the interviewer notice that the projector had been fixed overhead in the conference room, and then looked at the brand-new IBM laptop in front of him, and the two looked at each other before stepping forward to present in turn.

For many companies, at this time, there is no habit of using notebooks and projectors to demonstrate, and the two are matched for tens of thousands of dollars, but they are standard in Tongtian Technology - this shows from the side that this company is not a leather bag company, and whose leather bag company is willing to use these equipment as props.

"Jiang Gong, I read your hairdressing management system, it should be said that the software function has the requirements and goals to be achieved, and the interface is simple and generous, why is your company still unable to hold on to the verge of bankruptcy after development?"

"This ......"

Jiang Changhong hesitated for a moment and said, "There are many reasons.

The first is that there are more cracks and piracy, and after our company sells the 7th copy, there are similar pirated copies in the world, and the price is lower than ours, and the company's products are not easy to sell;

The second is that it is not substantially helpful to the development of the business, and at the beginning, a few stores really wanted to try to gather popularity through card sales and lock in customer groups in advance. However, deducting money according to the project requires several steps in the software, which is not intuitive, and lengthens the checkout time, causing the customer to wait and make the other party impatient, and the customer experience is not good;

Third, the main purpose of the store owner is to sell more cards, whether it is through the computer cashier he does not care, as long as the card is sold, he does not care whether the database is maintained or not, the development to the later, it becomes a guest only to take the card registration card number, and then wait for the end of the day after the end of the day by the cashier according to the card number paper and pen operation, the function of the small book can be realized so that the software suddenly lost its effectiveness;

……”

As for the dining card system shown by Liao Zhonglei, it is basically the same as the system of most schools, and there is not much difference, but he especially reminded: "In fact, this system really allows me to write it myself, and I can also write it, but it can be cracked ready-made, so I am too lazy to do it, of course, I have also made some improvements." For example, after a meal card is reported as lost, other people who pick it up will use it again, and the general system just displays an error, so I designed a lock and alarm function - because the school meal card is connected to the commissary, I heard that other schools have stolen meal cards between students, and I made corrections. At the same time, the canteen and the commissary are separated in the database, so as to facilitate separate accounting and statistical ......"

Based on the introduction of these two, Chang Tianhao is generally clear: if the information introduced by these two people is true, then he can basically be qualified for this development position.

Of course, he won't choose just one, he wants both, and even in addition to the two in front of him, he needs more people to participate.

After the two introduced these, they saw Chang Tianhao nodding frequently, thinking that the next routine should be to talk about salary and similar issues such as job time, but Chang Tianhao obviously will not play cards according to common sense.

"The content of the recruitment notice is relatively vague, so let me give you a brief introduction to the main content of the Internet café management system that the company needs to develop:

Layer 1: Billing system. By a total server to control other clients, through the billing software to form a star LAN, the administrator can easily monitor each computer's Internet time, remaining time, charges, etc., 10-15 minutes before the expiration of the time to send a prompt, in the expiration of the time to take the initiative to shut down, convenient management and statistics, but also reduce chaos. At the same time, it can also directly export the all-day traffic and stand-alone business volume.

The second layer: the service system. Every Internet user will inevitably change the configuration or download the software at will during the use of the process, which increases the instability of the computer, but also reduces the security of the Internet café, through this system, the system will be restored to the default settings on a regular basis, to maintain the fastest speed. At the same time, the service system should also realize many-to-one service, which is convenient for customers to call the network management to request instant noodles, cigarettes, drinks and other items;

Layer 3: Update the system. The largest business volume in the Internet café is to play games, through this system can be realized through any computer in the Internet café to update the game, the update data is uploaded to the Internet café server, and then through the LAN server to make the same game in the Internet café to achieve the latest update - this is much faster than the online game server of each computer, which is conducive to improving the customer system;

The fourth layer: the propaganda system. The NMS can initiate promotion in the background and push small advertisements such as games, activities, and recharge discounts to current users in the form of advertisements and pop-up windows, and can also set the frequency to push them at regular intervals.

Layer 5: Top-up system. At present, the game charges are relied on point cards, monthly card sales, the software companies need to print in advance for the point card, and at the same time through various channels layer by layer resale, I hope to directly integrate the recharge system in the software, users can directly transfer the money they recharge in the Internet café account through the system click directly into the game they play, making it a platform......

I think that the functions of each software here may not be particularly difficult to develop separately, but to be fully integrated into a software, it must also have a beautiful interface, perfect functions, stable operation, and low server resource occupation, which is relatively difficult, I wonder what you two think?"

In the process of Chang Tianhao's continuous demonstration with the help of the projector, the two were very interested at first, and then their faces were solemn. They are insiders, and of course they can understand that these management contents are urgently needed for the operation of Internet cafes.

"My idea is that when developing the whole set of software, the corresponding module design is reserved, one is mature, and one is launched...... With version changes like 1.0\\2.0 to continue to upgrade, at the same time, the biggest core advantage of this software is that it has to be bundled with the company's server, in other words, it does not operate alone, cracking and piracy are useless, you can't access the server...... If you have to break into the company's servers to destroy it, that's a different problem......"

Now it was their turn to nod frequently.

However, Wang Huiling was a little anxious when she heard this: this is obviously the core content of Chang Tianhao's "Three-Year Strategic Plan", shouldn't this be the company's internal control? Why did she say it in front of two applicants?

She couldn't remind her publicly, so she had to kick Chang Tianhao with her foot, and the latter waved her hand lightly and told her with her eyes: Don't worry......
