Chapter 124: Walking the Water!
This exchange with Zhang Xiaolong left a very deep impression on Tang He.
In this era when it was still a 56k cat, Zhang Xiaolong became a star-level programmer representative with Foxmail.
But this person is unusually low-key and modest, without a little arrogance, and there is a persistence in his bones to follow his heart and act in his faith, as well as indifference like water, which is in stark contrast to the impetuousness of the Internet circle that Tang He understands.
And the current Zhang Xiaolong is not the person who was mythologized in his previous life.
He is him, he will also jump in the secret office because of the dilemma of being poked by Tang He in the current reality, and he will also complain about his unhappiness in the company after eating a roadside stall with Tang He and drinking a little.
It's just his persistence, his focus, that makes him stand out and eventually succeed. And this is exactly what most people can't do, and it's what makes him really great.
Then Tang He's previous idea of giving him a high salary, shares, and positions in order to win over Zhang Xiaolong was a complete failure in the face of promising that as long as Zhang Xiaolong joined the ideal country, he could do the research and development he liked.
It turned out that Zhang Xiaolong's most needed food and clothing was not food and clothing!
What he needs most is to have a platform to continue his personal hobbies and ideals, and a company that can give full play to his personal abilities and realize his self-worth!
Other than that, everything else goes to the back row.
Knowing this, Tang He laughed a little speechlessly.
And the key to finally convincing Zhang Xiaolong to join was his idea of changing Foxmail from a client to an eb side when he invited Zhang Xiaolong to eat at a roadside stall the next night.
This thought made Zhang Xiaolong's eyes light up.
In this era, in addition to Microsoft's Outlook mailbox software, which is integrated into the indos system, every computer comes with this set of software, which is very convenient for users to use.
If you want to send and receive emails from your Foxmail mailbox, you must first download the software to your computer before you can use it.
Obviously, downloading the software gives the user an extra process.
Moreover, in this era of slow internet speeds, and the lack of knowing where to go and how to download software, Foxmail's user experience is clearly not optimal.
But if you change Foxmail to an online email system, it's a different story!
As an extremely pure programmer, Zhang Xiaolong was quickly conquered by Tang He's idea.
He was a little eager to try.
Especially when Tang He frankly said that he hoped that Zhang Xiaolong would join the ideal country and could develop and improve his Foxmail, and once the Foxmail on the eb side was released in the future, it would be provided to all netizens for free like a software client, Zhang Xiaolong nodded without hesitation and agreed to Tang He's request.
This kind of work that allows him to concentrate on the products he loves is a perfect fit for his needs.
What's more, the situation of the ideal country introduced by Tang He is much better than the conditions of the company he works in now, not to mention the high salary and original shares that Tang He said.
So the day after Tang He arrived in the South China Sea, he subdued the future >
Tang He, who knows how to make the best use of people and knows how to delegate power, also asked Zhang Xiaolong if he had any like-minded programmer friends or masters in the South China Sea, and if so, he could authorize Zhang Xiaolong to form a small product design team of about ten people according to his own preferences.
This made Zhang Xiaolong very heartwarming, and deeply felt the uniqueness of the ideal country and Tang He's importance to himself.
So when Tang He set off to return to Bingzhou, in addition to Zhang Xiaolong, there was also a small product team.
The number of people in this team is not counting Zhang Xiaolong, a total of eight people.
But these eight people, plus Zhang Xiaolong, are a complete short and capable product team!
Among the members of the team, two are engaged in back-end development, two are specialized in eb-end development, two are engaged in product development, and one is engaged in UI design.
The so-called UI is user interface design, and the work in charge is to do graphic design, web design, art, etc., to put it bluntly, it is the same as He Jiajia's work in the ideal country.
There's even one person on the team who specializes in running tests.
These people, although they all have their own expertise, are all all-rounders, and they can help when others are too busy.
As a result, Tang He also had to sigh at the backwardness of Hedong and the advancement of the South China Sea!
I am afraid that only Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen have so many talent pools engaged in the Internet.
If you want to make up such a team in Hedong, I am afraid that there is no other way than to pull Hedong University again.
Who made Hedong a central province that is not attractive to Internet talents who are ahead of technology.
Tang He was very excited.
With Zhang Xiaolong and his team, 3721's take-off is just around the corner.
However, Li Zheng looked at Tang He, who was leading Zhang Xiaolong and them to visit the company's headquarters, with a radiant and eloquent expression, but his face was extremely ugly.
He didn't expect Tang He to go out and recruit so many people back!
After listening to Tang He's request to continue to buy servers on the phone, Li Zheng wanted to seriously discuss the company's operating conditions and financial status with Tang He, but who knew that before he could mention it, Tang He made such a fuss.
At this moment, Li Zheng was really a little flustered.
There was not much cash left in the account of Youpin Bookstore, but according to Tang He's request, he customized a few servers from Intel China and paid the deposit, and finally found that there was still a little deposit on the company's books, except for a little deposit for the members of the flagship store of Erlongshan University.
This is the rhythm of going bankrupt!
At present, the two flagship stores that are being renovated by Youpin Bookstore cost money!
Lu Guoxin is going to Beijing to buy goods again, so he can't go empty-handed!
Also, the company that buys the server only pays a deposit in advance, and when Intel China orders the server and sends it over, it needs to pay a large amount of final payment!
Not to mention that Tang He also asked for more bandwidth before, he didn't dare to go to the telecom department to handle business the day before yesterday and yesterday, because he really had no money!
The scariest thing is -
At present, the nine people newly recruited by Tang He are all from other places, and they always have to arrange a place to live when they come to work in the company, right? They are all engaged in computers, so they must always be equipped with computers, right? There is also the problem of eating......
These fees alone can spend the remaining flagship store deposit in the account, and it may not be enough.
Not to mention the salaries to be paid to employees next month!
Now the number of employees in Youpin Bookstore has already exceeded 20 people, and there are now more than 20 people on the Ideal Country side.
At the beginning of January, what did the company pay its employees?
What if it lasts until next month!
Now the company's new two excellent bookstore direct stores, it is estimated that it will take more than half a month to renovate, and when they are open, they have received the collateral from the members, even if they embezzle the expenses to maintain the company's operation, is it enough?
Li Zheng felt that he was flustered, and he was a little dizzy.
Perhaps this is the reason why many people don't like to take risks, and would rather rely on half-dead in state-owned enterprises than resign and work hard!
The stakes are too great!
Li Zheng remembered that he had advised Tang He a long time ago not to be rash, and it was best to be able to fight steadily. Because blind expansion is easy to get into trouble.
It's not.
Something has finally happened!
