Chapter 64: Playing Chess
"How much time does it take for a product to go from R&D to maturity? The record set by mortals is three months! We have turned a company with a market value of one million into a company with a market value of five hundred million in three months, and we have proved with our actions that nothing is impossible!" Lin Fan shook his head again as he shook his head around the table in the conference room.
"Of course, maybe you have heard of Baidu Encyclopedia, this product took less than a month from research and development to launch, then I can only tell you an unfortunate news, Baidu Encyclopedia is developed by me, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to surpass your boss. β
The mortal safety engineers in the conference room suddenly widened their eyes, and they couldn't help but breathe, but at the same time, there was endless confidence and expectation pouring out, they expected Lin Fan to lead them to create their own miracle!
"This is a magical era, miracles abound, Zhang Xiaolong made 150,000 FoxMail to 20 million in two years, and when it becomes the target of Amazon's mergers and acquisitions, nothing is impossible!" Lin Fan waved his arms and emphasized again, his words were extremely inflammatory, and even Xu Sheng, a man who was almost thirty, couldn't help but loosen his tie.
"I don't want to talk to you about any faith and ability here, the only thing you want to become is your own god, a month!" Lin Fan took out a finger, "A month's time, it's November 23rd, I hope that the mortal input method will be online on December 23rd!"
Chaida reminded in a low voice on the side, "Mr. Lin, do we still need to pay attention to Sohu?"
Lin Fan, who had already turned around, paused, and only turned his face, "We only do ourselves!"
There was a scream in the conference room, what about Sohu? Our boss is not afraid, Who cares?
Xu Sheng trotted up and followed, with an inexplicable look on his face, "Mr. Lin, you really should be a speaker, this group of young people is estimated to have to fight against staying up late tonight." β
Lin Fan stopped, "Although it is important to catch up with the schedule, the body of employees cannot be taken lightly, we are not evil capitalists, nor are we stingy Grande, subsidies and overtime benefits must be in place." β
"Okay, I understand. β
At this time, at the headquarters of Sohu, Wang Xiaochuan was planning a new project in front of the computer, as a young man who became one of the five vice presidents of Sohu at the age of 27, talent is very important, but more important is his diligence and hard work.
For the development of Sogou input method he attaches great importance to,He has been responsible for search engine development before,At present, only two of the five vice presidents are from a technical background,He is one of them,And the chairman also faintly expressed to him that he wanted to delegate him as a subsidiary Sogou CEO,This time it was a test for himγ
It is false to say that there is no ambition, he is still young, not to mention that there is an old saying in Huaxia, it is better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, even if he is the vice president of Sohu, how can he be the CEO of Sogou, he is free and free, no one restricts him, he can show his strength and show his talents.
It's just a bad news,A few days ago in the industry suddenly rose an antivirus company seems to be also developing input methods,But he is very confident in his Internet-based input methodγ Although he didn't know that Lin Fan was walking the same path as him. But he still decided to speed up the development process, and users have always been the most impressed by the first appearance, and he will never let others focus on beauty.
"Wow. β
Wang Xiaochuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the visitor, Yang Hongtao is his old partner, and he is also an alumnus of the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University, but Yang Hongtao is four years higher than him, and the two met because of the development of Sogou's search engine, of course, Yang Hongtao is also a technical expert.
"Lao Yang, you already have an understanding of this mission, right?"
Yang Hongtao smiled lightly, "Be on call at any time, and wait for Mr. Wang's orders." β
"OK, we have discussed the concept of input method before, Mr. Zhang has promised me to transfer artists and operation team personnel from him, we are familiar with search technology, now we only need to solve the fusion of the two concepts, I hope we can work together to launch the product before New Year's Day." β
"Mr. Wang, the important chairman of this product emphasized many times at the meeting, will we be too hasty to make it in such a short time?"
"I know the importance of the input method will be asked so urgently,Sogou input method as the second step of the company's strategy three steps,Its importance is undoubted,But there is currently a company like us are developing input methods,We must be the first to go online,Otherwise, one step can not keep up with step by step. β
Yang Hongtao nodded, he knew Wang Xiaochuan's temperament, full of energy, full of momentum, and a competitive spirit in his bones. "Mr. Wang, I will do my best to cooperate with you. β
Baidu, Lin Fan ended his guidance on the development of Baidu's library technology group, and entered Liu Jianguo's office in a flash, and he didn't have many acquaintances in Baidu, just Robin Li and Liu Jianguo.
"Well, why did you come to me?"
"I know that Mr. Liu, you are busy with work, and it only takes up ten minutes of your time. β
Liu Jianguo closed the folder and sat on the reception sofa, "Tea or coffee?"
Lin Fan looked suspicious, "I didn't come to you to find an excuse to relax, right?"
"Xiaolin, you really don't know the hearts of good people, I kindly served you tea and poured water, but you still don't appreciate it. β
Lin Fan directly hit Ji Ling, "Mr. Liu, don't say that, what if the police uncle knows that I don't respect the old and love the young and arrest me?"
Liu Jianguo puffed, "You know I never smoke." β
"Then do you drink tea or coffee?" Lin Fan patted his mouth gently, "Oh, look at my memory, Mr. Liu is also a visiting scholar in the United States, so he naturally likes to drink coffee." β
Liu Jianguo, who was originally happy, was suddenly unhappy, "Are you praising me or hurting me?" Lin Fan's expression was serious, "Of course I praised you, you are an expert in the field of China's premier search engine, and you have helped Baidu set up a world-class search engine team, and anyone who sees you will probably have to give a thumbs up!"
Liu Jianguo seemed to be smiling, thinking of Lin Fan's series of actions, and gradually tasted, "Xiaolin, do you have something to look for me?"
Lin Fan didn't hide it, and nodded very boldly, "A friend of mine is developing an input method, and needs technical support from search engines, I don't happen to know you, I want you to help, my friend said, you shoot, three million." β
Liu Jianguo stared at Lin Fan, "Put the money aside in advance, let me ask you what is your relationship with this company?"
Lin Fan seemed to be seen by Liu Jianguo, a little embarrassed, and scratched his head, "I also invested some money and some shares." β
Liu Jianguo nodded and did not speak. Liu Jianguo was so calm, Lin Fan was anxious, "Mr. Liu, can you give me a word?"
"The input method supported by the search engine is interesting. Liu Jianguo nodded.
Lin Fan was not surprised that Liu Jianguo had broken the core of the mortal input method, and now he only felt that he had a few more chips for success.
