Chapter 189 Zhitong Company was established
Different from the later IT industry, the most famous IT figures in China at this time were not the bosses or CEOs of those companies, but programmers, such as the "Zhongguancun Sanjun" and the "Five Masters of Chinese Programmers".
Some of them are also the idols of many young people, such as Qiu Bojun of Jinshan, I remember that at the turn of the century, Feng Yiping easily got a ticket and listened to a speech from him in an auditorium.
Influenced by them, over the years, there are also many people in China who have embarked on the road of programmers, although later people can remember the name, that is, dozens of representatives of the "Three Gentlemen" and "Five Masters", but of course there are many programmer masters, but they failed to become the final winners in the round of competition.
Hong Haoran is such a person, after majoring in computer science at Stanford University, he worked in Silicon Valley for a while, quickly paid off the family's debts for him to study, and also had some savings.
However, at that time, the domestic infrastructure was not ideal, and with a wait-and-see attitude, he applied for a large state-owned enterprise with a high salary as a general manager consultant, mainly to coordinate a set of ERP systems imported from the German SAP company in the factory at that time.
After nearly a year of hard work, he was surprised to find that this system, which cost a lot of money and invested a lot of manpower and material resources, was more often regarded as a façade project, and even one-tenth of its function was not played.
After the former general manager was promoted to the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, although the new leader still let him be responsible for this work according to the original salary, he couldn't do it himself and wanted to make money. It's good to stay in the United States, why bother coming back.
He was a programmer with feelings, and after he resigned, he funded a software company by himself, and after a year. He took a group of people with a small amount of food, and also developed several applications, but he could not find a buyer, the company can no longer sustain, today, he used his last savings, tearfully dissolved the company.
Because of business matters, his wife was in a cold war with him in the past two days and returned to her parents' house. He looked at the deserted room, sighed, and went into the study.
Thaksin immediately clicked on the BBS of his alma mater, browsed at random, and suddenly saw a job advertisement, with management experience. Programmers who are familiar with enterprise management software, isn't that me? It is negotiable, but the qualified person can own the company's shares.
He decided to give it a try.
He made an appointment and came to the provincial capital, where he found that it was not Feng Zhenchang, who was talking to him on the phone, but a child who seemed to be a student.
Feng Yiping looked at him. This is a man in his early thirties with thick hair, wearing jeans and a jacket, and he can be considered a young man, but I don't know if it was because of the train ride for dozens of hours or what, and his face was not very good.
Feng Yiping first learned about his experience. I don't feel a little embarrassed, the Stanford graduates at this time, if they stay in Silicon Valley and mix well, they may not be able to mix up much in the future.
However, Feng Yiping was quite happy, he didn't expect that in the end, the free advertisement on BBS played a role, and he actually found such a big fish that seemed to be tailor-made.
Hong Haoran was originally quite disappointed, and Feng Yiping, a student, took his words, thinking that this trip was not only a waste of time, but also a waste of travel expenses.
But as Feng Yiping talked about ERP in depth, he slowly put away his contempt, and the person who can say these words definitely has a deep understanding of enterprise resource planning, and in some ways is more insightful than him, who participated in the whole process.
Feng Zhenchang didn't participate in the conversation, but he always watched people, and when he saw Hong Haoran and his son talking, he felt a little sympathetic and proud.
However, Hong Haoran is not optimistic about this, he has just experienced a failure, he persuaded, "This is not a small project, it is a system project, we want to do it from scratch, not a matter of one or two days, and the investment is a bottomless pit, so I want to advise you to be cautious." ”
He didn't want to look at the child in front of him, who also had some feelings, and walked on his old path.
"Don't worry, I've thought about it very clearly, besides, we don't have to seek perfection at the beginning, start with the financial software that everyone is paying more attention to now, and do a good job in financial management, so we will sell him as financial software first, and then purchase management, inventory management, human resource management and other modules one by one. ”
Later, this is how the domestic ERP software came, first develop a module, when a separate software is sold out, of course, the excuse is to develop in advance, and finally, all the modules are integrated, it is a complete system.
"That's a way to do it. Hong Haoran agrees, this is good, even if it is not successful in the end, there are still a few products that can make some money.
"So can Mr. Hong accept this position?" Feng Yiping was also very satisfied with him, Hong Haoran just advised him to think about it more, obviously he was already thinking about him, he was a pure person.
"There's only one question, is the company still here?" Hong Haoran asked.
"You can decide everything else, that is, the location of the company must be located in the provincial capital. Feng Yiping patiently explained to him, "To do such a system, it is impossible to do it behind closed doors, it must be combined with reality, our noodle restaurant and decoration company can just allow you to do real things, if you are in other places, there is no such condition."
In addition, this also takes into account the problem of future sales, we have some local connections, and these can be a help in the future. What do you think?"
"I accept it in principle, but I want to ask my wife for her opinion. "What Feng Yiping said is true, ERP was originally produced in the process of organizing production, and if you want to make such a system behind closed doors, it is a fool's dream.
"No problem, you don't have to worry about your life problems, we will match the house, and the problem of the children's school can also be solved. ”
"Hehe, I don't have children yet!"
After Hong Haoran returned to Shanghai, he managed to persuade his wife, in fact, his wife could follow him back to China from the United States, and she still supported him very much, and she didn't care too much about going to other places in China.
After obtaining his wife's consent, Hong Haoran began to recruit troops, Feng Yiping Tong Guò Li Jia, who was already working in a foreign company, brought her a senior sister with a certified public accountant certificate with a high salary.
She is not only an accountant, but also a newly established company, and in the short term, she mainly spends money, how can she use a big name like a certified public accountant, her main job is actually to give opinions on the financial management module.
Of course, Li Jia herself also wanted to come, she knew that Feng Yiping would not do a loss-making business, and she also used this to convince her senior sister, but Feng Yiping thought she was a rookie and had no work experience, hehe, she was so angry at that time!
After more than a month of preparation, Zhitong Company, with Hong Haoran as the technical director, was finally established in the provincial capital, and its establishment and success laid a solid foundation for Feng Yiping's future career. (To be continued......)
