After the two of them arrived outside the small restaurant that Xu Zelei said, Xu Zelei went down to order food, and Zhang Siyuan was looking for a place to park next to him. The current Shanghai market does not have planned parking spaces everywhere like in later generations, and Zhang Siyuan doesn't want to park a car casually and be zoned. It's not about the money to repair the car, but out of love for the car.

Many people who own their own cars regard their cars as their life. Even if it's not a good car, you will cherish it. Zhang Siyuan belongs to this kind of person, which is why he must find a parking lot to park outside.

After parking the car in the nearby community, Zhang Siyuan walked slowly to the small restaurant. Xu Zelei had already ordered the dishes and sat in the hall waiting for him, and Zhang Siyuan walked directly to the table and sat down after seeing it.

After sitting down, Zhang Siyuan smiled and asked Xu Zelei, "How is it, have you been in contact with Brother Long recently?"

"No, after Brother Long left, except for the time when Liu Yang looked for you, he contacted me once, and I didn't contact anything else. Why did you suddenly ask this, and you want to get Brother Long back?" Xu Zelei replied.

At the beginning of the establishment of Times Technology, Dai Wanglong has always been in charge of the company's affairs. Xu Zelei joined later, and after joining, for various reasons, his relationship with Dai Wanglong has always been very close. For Dai Wanglong's incident, he felt very sorry.

Although he has a good relationship with Dai Wanglong, he is a highly intelligent person. I also know that what Dai Wanglong did did have a great impact on the company. Even if he didn't cause any losses to the company, Dai Wanglong took the initiative to resign, and he didn't say much. He didn't know why Zhang Siyuan suddenly mentioned Dai Wanglong today, and he couldn't think of any other reason besides wanting to get Dai Wanglong back.

Zhang Siyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I didn't want him to go at the beginning, but he was determined to leave, what can I do." I just wanted to ask if you have contacted him, I really don't know how he is now. ”

"I don't know, I don't know where he is now, what he's doing? Every time I call him, it's turned off, and I wonder too. If you don't come back to work, there's no need to even be a friend. Xu Zelei also said with a wry smile.

After Xu Zelei finished speaking, Zhang Siyuan did not continue to talk about this topic, but continued: "Brother Zelei, if I ask you something, you will tell the truth." ”

"Say it. Xu Zelei always felt that today's Zhang Siyuan was a little weird.

Zhang Siyuan didn't sell it, and said directly: "I want to merge Times Technology with Sohu, are you sure to suppress the people on Sohu's side?"

The merger of Times Technology and Sohu is imperative, and Zhang Siyuan wants to solve all the unstable factors before the merger. There is no problem with Sohu anymore, just look at Times Technology here. After all, the merger is based on Times Technology, if Times Technology can't suppress the group of Sohu technicians and convince them. Maybe there will be some problems at that time, this is not what Zhang Siyuan wants to see.

And Xu Zelei is the most critical figure. He is the technology minister of Times Technology, and he also has the best understanding of the current programmer technology of Times Technology. This kind of thing is not very easy to ask in the company, so Zhang Siyuan asked Xu Zelei to come out to talk.

Xu Zelei frowned when he heard this, for him, he was never afraid of anyone in terms of technology. It's just that Zhang Siyuan's meaning is obvious, he is asking, but in fact, he is still asking about the science and technology of the times as a whole. Sohu is a veteran Internet company, and it is also one of the top Internet companies in China. After all, the time of the establishment of Times Technology is a little shorter, even if the influence is not much worse, but no one can say for sure about the technical things.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Xu Zelei frowning, and did not urge Xu Zelei to speak. He wanted to hear the most pertinent answers, not any guarantees. Those things are all vernacular, and it's useless to say that you can't do it.

After ten minutes, Xu Zelei's frowning brows relaxed, and he said to Zhang Siyuan: "Because I haven't been in contact with the people in Sohu, and I don't know what they're doing now, I can't say that I can't suppress them 100%. If you look at it from the current Sohu portal, their technology is not as good as ours. You must ask why the technology is not as good as ours, and our portal is still so bad. This is because they are too late to enter this industry, and they have developed too early. Everything is mature, and we are still in the groping stage. As for the rest, if you could tell me what they're working on right now, I should be able to estimate it as well. ”

"They're now building a social networking site, similar to Chinaren, and the other is the search engine and the input method, but nothing else. ”

Zhang Siyuan directly told Xu Zelei what Sohu was doing now, and it was nothing to him. Anyway, it's all his company, Xu Zelei won't leak it out, Xu Zelei's next answer is about how he will arrange those people in Sohu at that time.

After Xu Zelei heard it, he thought for a while and said: "I don't know what your plans are, I can only say this, if after the merger, you break everyone up and rearrange the department, I can suppress them to death." If it is a separate department, I can't guarantee it. I have studied these two things, and our company can do it if we pull a group of people out now, but I don't know what it can do. ”

"I thought about breaking up and rearranging at first, but I think it's not good for Times Technology and Sohu. After all, people on both sides have been studying their own things, and when they suddenly break up, they have to re-familiarize themselves with other things, and when the time comes, it will be a waste of time and energy. Now is the golden age of the domestic Internet, and the most important thing we can afford to lose is time. But if they are independent departments, I am afraid that they will become the same existence as Xishanju at the beginning, and this is where I am entangled. Zhang Siyuan said with some distress.

Xu Zelei smiled when he heard this: "You don't need to worry about this problem. To be honest, if you don't look for me, I'm going to look for you, because of various reasons, we have fewer products, so many people are obviously learning other directions, because of the company's reasons, they are not proficient in the aspects themselves. I believe that this is also the case with Sohu, after all, domestic Internet companies currently have such common problems. can't do an accurate division of labor, and are unwilling to let employees leave to go to other companies, so they keep people, which is also the reason why many people change jobs. ”

"That's what you mean, so you mean that I broke them up?" Zhang Siyuan asked.

Zhang Siyuan also has a layer of concern that the merger of Times Technology and Sohu is nominally a merger, but in fact Sohu is annexed. That is to say, after the merger, Sohu will become a complete history, and he is afraid that it will cause instability in the hearts of many old Sohu employees. If they are broken up again, it will easily cause panic among the high-level leaders of Sohu. And there will definitely be overlap between the management, and it is also a question of who is up and who is down.

"It's okay to break up, the key is how to lead the Fa when the time comes. To be honest, if they come over, the company will definitely have to rearrange it. At that time, the position on the side of the technical department will be very elegant. Xu Zelei only stood on the side of the technical department to consider Zhang Siyuan.

Zhang Siyuan didn't discuss this issue with Xu Zelei, this should have been discussed with Gao Changjiang and Zeng Fuhu, and there was no result from the discussion with Xu Zelei as a technical nerd. After all, Xu Zelei only looks at it from the perspective of the technology department, and Zhang Siyuan has to look at it from the perspective of the whole era of science and technology.

Zhang Siyuan thought for a moment and then asked, "Then what if they are allowed to form an independent department?"

"If it's a separate department, it's not easy to manage. Even if you put them under my hands, it will be very troublesome. I can solve some problems, but a lot of things still have to be done by ordinary programmers, otherwise I would be able to support the technical department alone. I don't want to be like my brother, who is about to become a bare-pole commander. Xu Zelei complained a little.

When Zhang Siyuan heard Xu Zelei say this, he was a little puzzled: "Commander of the light pole?"

"yes, it's a bit of trouble over there. My brother doesn't know how much bitterness he vomited on me during this time, so I don't like this kind of team coming over without one heart. ”

It turned out that during Zhang Siyuan's absence, Ying Hao could be said to be struggling. The game department is completely handed over to him, and QQ Legend doesn't need him to worry about it. Xishanju turned a deaf ear to his words, even if Luo Xiaoyin was in it as a concoctor, there were few people who birded him. If you want to get rid of people, Luo Xiaoyin came to intercede again. If you don't open it, you won't be obedient.

Zhang Siyuan smiled: "Don't talk about Ying Hao, continue to talk about yours." ”

"They're independent departments, and I can hold them down, just to take some risks. ”

"What risk?"

"It's okay for them to be obedient, but if they don't, I will definitely not be soft. If you get rid of it, it will delay the progress of R&D at that time, and the people who are fired may leak the progress of our current R&D and the content of R&D when they go to other companies. Don't tell me about secrecy regulations, it's useless. Everyone learns the same technique, and if you can study that thing, so can I. It's the same as writing, it's nothing more than that your writing is beautiful, and my writing is ugly. There's nothing else to say, and you can't pursue it. ”

Xu Zelei didn't wait for Zhang Siyuan to speak, and continued: "And because they have been developing for a while, after they go out, they will soon be able to rewrite the program they made before." When the time comes, our new people will have to write according to them. Speed is not guaranteed, if they are successful in developing first, we are in a backward position, you think about the current Tencent. ”

"Okay, I see. I'll think about it again, and after eating go and see the new house you want. At this time, the owner of the restaurant had already served the dishes ordered by Xu Zelei, and Zhang Siyuan said to Xu Zelei.
