Chapter 110: Work and Reporting

After arranging Jiang Danfeng's work, Xu Yongrui walked over, handed Du Qiu a floppy disk and a list, and reported: "Mr. Du, this is the code I went to Sanjiang University, Yuncheng University and Polytechnic University yesterday for acceptance, and I listed a few of them separately at a good level." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When Du Qiu gave a speech on May 2, he left an unfinished open-source notepad program, named inote, and announced that he would accept the code provided by the students once a week, and May 2 was a Tuesday, so the first acceptance time was May 9, but he was still in Thailand at the time, so he temporarily arranged Xu Yongrui to do this work.

Xu Yongrui's appearance is a bit like a film and television star named Wu Qihua in Hong Kong, handsome with a little evil, gentle manners, personable, very lethal to women, but in fact he is a big carrot, his private life is very indulgent, after he graduated from college in 1991, he changed three companies in three years, and each time he left because of the peach turmoil, in 1994 he was even more heroic, and he gave several foreign executives a green hat in a row, and his reputation was far and wide, so he was collectively blocked by several foreign-funded enterprises in Beijing.

The treatment of domestic enterprises and institutions is too low, can not meet the cost of spending all day, Xu Yongrui had to be a self-employed, in the form of firefighters everywhere to do odd jobs, fortunately, he is very irresponsible for women, but very responsible for the work, outstanding ability, in the industry reputation is not bad, Chen Dayou in line with the principle of making the best use of the talent introduced to Du Qiu, and then recruited to the company.

When this guy arrived in Cloud City, he kidnapped a beautiful girl from the capital, and he didn't know if he had sent it back......

Don't make any more flirtatious things......

Du Qiu complained while looking at the list and found that there were only 7 people in total, so he asked, "So few?"

"This is a list of recent graduates who are willing to work for Snapdragon, and I have compiled the names of those current students or teachers in the school, all of which I have compiled on a floppy disk. ”

Du Qiu sighed, put the floppy disk in the storage box next to the monitor, and then said: "Manager Xu, you should have studied the idesign project in the past few days, would you like to take over?"

"I thought it was interesting and I wanted to try it. ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Du Qiu pulled out the folder with the idesign label on the desk, stood up and handed it to him, and asked, "How many people do you want to recruit?"

"Mr. Du has already designed the general framework, I only need to perfect it, three or four people are enough. ”

Xiao Wu, who was sitting nearby, totoed, pushed the office chair and slid over, and said with a smile: "Mr. Du, you have to add a condition to this pervert, you can recruit people, but you are not allowed to recruit girls, otherwise he will turn the company into a Grand View Garden." ”

Xu Yongrui was not as knowledgeable as her, pushed his glasses, smiled very gently, and turned to leave.

Originally, Du Qiu arranged Xu Yongrui to assist Qin Mu in making office software, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, Qin Mu decided to make electronic tax calculation software first, and it was overkill for him to stay there in the working group, so Du Qiu turned to let him be responsible for the development of web design software idesign. This guy is an omnivore, he has a wide range of knowledge, he can play everything, and he can make some fame, but people's energy is limited, and chasing breadth will inevitably lose depth, so he can only do the work of a senior tinker, and he can't do some deep work like He Lixing and Xiao Wu.

However, omnivorous is not a bad thing, with such a helper, Du Qiu only needs to build the framework, and the specific implementation is handed over to Xu Yongrui to complete, the workload is greatly reduced, and the research and development of open source software is not as strict as that of closed-source software, as long as the main functions are done well and there are no serious bugs, you can release it, and then use the code fed back to improve it in a rapid iterative way, so you don't have to worry about him messing up.

idesign is a tactically critical but strategically not important software, after handing over to Xu Yongrui, Du Qiu can focus on operating systems and databases, both of which are nuclear weapons-level strategic weapons of mass destruction, which cannot be ignored.

There is no need to rush the operating system for the time being, because the University of California, Berkeley, will not release the second version of 4.4BSD-lite until June, which is the most mature and the last 4.4BSD operating system, after which Berkeley disbanded the computer systems research group, and since then there is no native BSD operating system, and there are only different types of branches such as FreeBSD, BSD, and OpenBSD.

Now there is only an incomplete version of Du Qiu that Du Qiu got from the students at the University of Berkeley in early April, and the reference and research are fine, but it is not enough to serve as a blueprint for the distribution, and the American master invited by He Lixing will not be able to come over until mid-May, so there is no need to rush to catch up.

As for the database, there is almost no doubt that Du Qiu will definitely choose MySQL as a prototype to build his own product.

In 1998, a German computer magazine proposed the concept of "lamp", which later became a well-known abbreviation in the IT industry after the hype of O'Reilly Media, which is used to refer to the four open source software used to build web servers: Linux operating system, Apache web server, MySQL database, and scripting languages such as PHP, Perl or Python.

Apache has appeared, Perl and Python have also appeared, although PHP has not yet appeared, but it is different from JavaScript, it is just a glue language of glue, and it cannot be used as a killer feature, so if you want to compete with Linux, the breakthrough is only MySQL.

The development history of MySQL is more tortuous, the founder Michael Widenius began to work on database research and development as early as 1979, decided to build a database of his own in 1990, after tossing for 6 years, released it in early 1996 for internal users, and then directly skipped version 2.0, and released version 3.11.1 in October of the same year, initially only running under Sun's Solaris operating system, but was soon ported to the Linux platform, after more than two years of development and preparation, the official version was released in 1998.

If you use an analogy, oracle and db2 and other old databases are equivalent to elephants, mysql is equivalent to a small donkey, and the early Internet is a newly developed rice field, at this time, using a small donkey to plough the land is obviously more time-saving, labor-saving and cost-saving than elephants, and it is also easier to control, so once released, it quickly swept the world and became the first choice for small and medium-sized enterprises to build Internet platforms.

It wasn't until version 3.23 was released in 2001 that it really grew into an excellent database product, so Du Qiu directly skipped the previous version and wrote a long email to Xiao Wu in the United States based on version 4.0 released in 2003, instructing her how to build her own product.

Xiao Wu has a calm personality but is not conservative, flexible but not cunning, is the most talented of the 6 initial employees, technology and experience are not lacking, but trapped by the limitations of the times, the vision is relatively narrow, and the thinking is also a little rigid, after Du Qiu's guidance, the ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and some functions have been completed in two months.

The two new employees, one named Zhang Yu and the other named Zhao Hongfei, were both impure people, on the train to Cloud City, Qin Mu predicted that they would soon be driven away by Du Qiu, but the reality surprised him, because these two guys not only did not leave, but went to work harder, working harder than the eight employees he recruited.

Zhang Yu was arrogant, felt that he was very capable, and it should be easy to go to work, and he planned to take the postgraduate examination while working, but his anger and arrogance soon disappeared, because he couldn't keep up with Xiao Wu's rhythm, and he couldn't understand many things, but Du Qiu could quickly give better optimization suggestions for these things that he couldn't understand, which made him feel shameless and have the motivation to be ashamed and brave.

Zhao Hongfei was half-hearted, thinking that Snapdragon had a good reputation abroad, and could be used as a springboard to find an opportunity to go to Silicon Valley, because Silicon Valley could make a lot of money, but after working for a few days, he keenly found that Du Qiu's technical strength far exceeded the imagination of the outside world, and he was ambitious and had a great pattern.

Du Qiu didn't even turn on the computer, he was communicating with Xiao Wu and others about the database work all morning, and at about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, he received a call from Zhou Yuan and said: "Mr. Du, several Taiwanese media reported that you and Secretary Jiang assassinated Teresa Teng. ”

I'll go!

Du Qiu was stunned and couldn't help laughing.
