Chapter Ninety-Seven: Translating and Poaching

"Du Qiu, this open source software project you are engaged in is very good, if it is done well, it will not only be of great benefit to the cause of domestic computer education, but also to the development of the computer software industry. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I will. ”

"Don't forget my chess program. ”

Academician Hou's name is Hou Chengzong, is the leading theoretical physicist in China, and is also the tutor of Chen Dayou's doctoral studies, after Du Qiu returned to Yuncheng from the capital, under Chen Zhiyang's arrangement, in the name of helping Chen Dayou send gifts, he specially visited once, although it was just a general acquaintance, but the perception between each other was not bad, so he said with a smile: "I work under your nose every day, how dare I forget, if I forget, you hit me with a chess piece." ”

"You're rough-skinned and thick-skinned, I'm afraid you'll smash my chess pieces. After Hou Chengzong teased very kindly, he stopped by the steps of the multi-functional lecture hall and said to Chen Zhiyang: "Zhiyang, you are now the vice principal, there are a lot of things, don't send it, I will take the bus back by myself." ”

"Okay, I'll let Secretary Gao send you. ”

Chen Zhiyang personally opened the door of the back seat of the Audi, said polite words to Hou Chengzong for a while, and said a few words to Gao Mingda, and then bid farewell to this heavyweight who was invited to support him by personal relations.

"Du Qiu, you work at the research institute, and you don't look up and look down with Hou Lao, and when you have time, you can communicate with him more often and see how to write the chess program. ”

In 1995, there were only three or four hundred academicians, each of them was a treasure of the country, with great energy, if you can have a good relationship, the benefits are self-evident, Du Qiu agreed, turned his head to look at the crowd of people who left the lecture hall in twos and threes, and asked: "Uncle Chen, what is the origin of that white secretary?"

"He's just an ordinary secretary of the city government, and he doesn't have much weight. Chen Zhiyang raised his hand, motioned to sit in his office, and said as he walked: "Snapdragon software is famous, and now it is settled in Yuncheng, and the municipal party committee and municipal government attach great importance to it, but the main market of iview browser is abroad, and they have only seen some specious reports in the newspaper, and they don't know what the specific business is, so they sent Secretary Bai to find out." ”

"I'm afraid that before the Internet was opened in Cloud City, they couldn't figure out what iView was for. ”

"It's okay to not understand, because for government officials, the product is not important, the performance is important, and what does the performance depend on? Chen Zhiyang was very familiar with the unspoken rules of officialdom, made a gesture of high and low contrast, and said: "The term of office of a leading group is four or five years, and the short term is two or three years. ”

This metaphor is very vivid, Jiang Danfeng, who was following behind, was curious, and asked with a smile: "What if it is blown up?"

"I blew up the back of the person below, at most I fell on my heel and lost face, but I couldn't die. Chen Zhiyang smiled and said: "Snapdragon Software Company has been established for more than two months, and there is no profit of a dime, but millions of dollars have been smashed into it, like a bottomless pit, only swallowing money, not spitting money, but the major media have treated you as treasures, why? Because your balloons are blown well." ”

He wrenched his fingers and said: "High salary, high technology, Internet, information superhighway, the world's first, China's first, Americans are crazy about it, etc., blow the balloon big and beautiful, colorful, it is difficult not to attract people's attention, now such a big balloon has floated to Cloud City, those officials in the city must all want to grasp it, good wind with strength, send me to Qingyun, maybe tomorrow ...... No, maybe a cow ghost and snake god will come looking for you tonight. ”

In the 90s, the domestic system was not perfect, but the economy was developing rapidly, all over the country made strange moves, crazy investment promotion, so there were a lot of wild growth of wonders, such as the giant company, established only more than 1 year to dare to build a 70-story skyscraper, just three or four years to open more than 200 subsidiaries, such as Top Software, established only one year to make more than 40 million sales, just three or four years in more than a dozen provinces and cities across the country opened 27 software parks, covering an area of up to 12,000 acres......

The giant was blown up as a balloon by someone, and Toph blew himself up as a balloon, and it blew up as a result......

It seems that you have to guard not only against blowing up balloons by your own people, but also against being blown up as balloons by others......

"Uncle Chen, what kind of preferential conditions do you think the city will give?"

"It's just land, taxes, and loans. In the university system, promotions rely on academics rather than economics, so Chen Zhiyang is quite calm and does not mean to blow up balloons, saying: "Now the company is still very small, there is no business in China, and there is no shortage of money for the time being, so these three things are actually not of much value." ”

"So I can ignore those people?"

"Doing business pays attention to harmony and making money, some people can ignore it, but some people still have to take care of it, and they don't need it now, it doesn't mean that they won't need it in the future. Chen Zhiyang walked into the office building with his hands behind his back, nodded to the teacher passing by, and gave an example: "If the secretary or the mayor's person comes to talk to you, it will be inappropriate to ignore it." ”

Du Qiu saw that there were people coming and going in the corridor, and it was inconvenient to talk about things, so he didn't say anything.

After Chen Zhiyang walked into the office, he took out a box of tea leaves from the drawer and asked Jiang Danfeng to make tea, while he sat on the wide office chair and asked, "The textbook you talked about in your speech is really so unbearable?"

"200 errors are discounted. ”

"In that case, it really won't work. Chen Zhiyang shook his head slightly and asked, "What kind of textbook did you use for self-study back then? If it's Japanese, can you translate it? Our school's publishing house can help publish it." ”

"I use the English book, C Programming Language, a book co-authored by computer scientist Brian Collingham and Dennis Rich, the father of the C language, which is recognized as the world's authoritative C language primer. ”

"English is better. Chen Zhiyang's eyes lit up and said: "Since you use it to get started, it should be no problem to translate into Chinese, Dayou is now in the United States, let him help contact the copyright, and then we will publish, we can't let that kind of book full of mistakes and omissions mislead people's children." ”

"C Programming Language" is concise, clear structure, recognized as a model of computer technology works, Du Qiu was originally led by the junk book, and later relied on this book to correct it, at that time it was the Chinese version published by the Machinery Industry Press in 2001, he didn't know if there was an earlier translation version, so he said: "This book has been published in two editions, the latest second edition was published in 1988, someone in China may have translated it, right?"

"I'll have someone look it up, and if not, you can translate it. Chen Zhiyang has a lot of experience in brushing up his prestige, and pointed out: "The author of that book is a professor at Qingcheng University, there must be many people who regard him as an academic authority, since you have bombarded others, you must come up with better things, so that there is a comparison, and it is clear who is right and who is wrong, otherwise others will treat you as a hairy boy who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”

Translating classic works is a great thing for the benefit of others and himself, Du Qiu naturally will not refuse, and said angrily: "If no one has translated yet, then I will translate." ”

"Translation is, after all, someone else's stuff, and it would be better if you could write your own one. ”

"I'll talk about that later. ”

After Jiang Danfeng finished making tea, Chen Zhiyang pointed to the thermos cup covered with gemstone textures and asked, "Your cup is very beautiful, where did you buy it?" I bought one for Liping, she likes these gorgeous and unique bits and pieces. ”

"The new products designed by my sister and their company have not yet been officially put into production, so let me try them out as a guinea pig, and then send a few to Aunt Xue after they are officially produced. ”

"A cup of water is enough, it's a waste. ”

After the two chatted for a while, they seemed to have nothing to say, and the room fell into a short silence, Jiang Danfeng was about to find a topic to liven up the atmosphere, but he heard Du Qiu say: "Uncle Chen, I want to borrow someone from you." ”

"Who?"

"Secretary Gao. Du Qiu forked his hand, made a typing motion, and said: "Now that the company is creating, I want to focus on staff training and technical research, and I don't want to waste time on ushering in the delivery, so I want Secretary Gao to come and help me." ”

Chen Zhiyang didn't rush to make a statement, but took out his silver cigarette case, took a small cigar from it, lit it and said: "Mingda is a section-level cadre with an establishment, how do you want to borrow it?"

"Leave his job without pay, and borrow him to go to the company as a public relations manager for two months, and give a subsidy of 5,000 yuan per month. Seeing that Chen Zhiyang was noncommittal, Du Qiu said another choice: "If Secretary Gao is willing to resign, he can sign a full-time work contract with the company, and the monthly salary is the same level as Qin Mu." ”

The highest salaries of Snapdragon Software Company are Du Qiu and Chen Dayou, 10,005 per month, followed by Qin Mu and He Lixing, 10,000 2 per month, and Xiao Wu and others again, both of which are 10,000, He Lixing has more salary than others, because he has a high technical level, and Qin Mu has more salary than others, because he has strong management ability, and during the time when Du Qiu and Chen Dayou went to the United States, the company was well organized, which is equivalent to the company's No. 3 person.

Putting Gao Mingda and Qin Mu at the same level, the price is not ungenerous, Chen Zhiyang nodded Du Qiu with his finger holding a cigar, and scolded with a smile: "You are generous, you close your eyes and open your salary indiscriminately, and don't treat the money of our investors as money! Do you know how much Mingda's monthly salary is here with me? It's only 823 yuan!"

"The school and the company environment are different, and of course the salary is not the same. ”

"No matter how different it is, it will not be worse than ten times, you, you, it is really not ambiguous at all to dig up people. Chen Zhiyang waved his hand, as if he was driving away the smell of cigars condensed in front of him, and seemed to signal Du Qiu to deal with it at will, and said: "The secretary is not a servant, I don't count if I say it, you have to ask his own opinion." ”

"As long as Uncle Chen agrees, I'll ask. ”

"I don't have anything to agree with, Mingda has been my secretary for 4 years, it's almost time to have my own career, I originally planned to arrange for him to go to the school press house as the president next semester, and now you have given me a new choice, which is also good. ”

On the way to the Institute of Quantum Physics, Jiang Danfeng said with some concern while driving: "Mr. Du, Sister Chunhua said that President Chen is a smiling tiger, is it appropriate for you to dig his secretary into the company?"

"The company is still very small, President Chen's mind is on the career, there is no conflict of interest with me in business, and now we are working together sincerely, each taking what they need, and there is no need to be suspicious. Du Qiu looked at the regressing scenery outside the car window and said: "The company is recruiting employees on a large scale, but Chen Dayou, the CEO, is a lonely person in the United States, and he is not at ease if he does not arrange for a cronie of President Chen to come in." ”

"But I think Secretary Gao seems to be a person who is very deep in the city, you let him be in charge of public relations, aren't you afraid that he and those bureaucrats will put you in the air?"

"Snapdragon is a technology-oriented company, whoever has mastered the technology is the uncle, Secretary Gao can't do any computer technology except typing, how can he overhead me?" Du Qiu smiled slightly and said: "Do you believe that he set up me today, tomorrow the company will fall apart, and the day after tomorrow I can create a more powerful company?"
