Chapter 7: Don't Let Me Meet Your Wife
"OK, as you can see, this is our company's official website. β
Mark turned on one of the computers and typed in the URL, revealing an old-fashioned movie rental website, but all the movies and TV series on it could not be watched online, except for a shopping icon, and customers could place an order online and then rent the tape by mail order.
He continued: "There are a large number of videos for customers to choose from, just a few clicks of the mouse, these tapes will be automatically mail-ordered to their homes, through the Internet technology to achieve the rental service of the video store storefront, little ghost, you can imagine how great this website is in the future." β
Roy said, "What's the point?"
"Of course, there are still some things that need to be improved on this website...... See this? A large number of films are arranged in sequence, just like soldiers waiting for the general to review, with high morale and full military appearance. Mark changed the subject, "However, if the general of the review calls the name of a soldier, but no one answers, he can only patiently check them one by one, which is a waste of time and inefficient, so it has been bothering the company."
"Roy Van do you know what I mean?"
Roy's head turned a little and it occurred to him that this website lacked a soul-level function - search.
In the Internet era, you can't imagine how difficult it is for customers to find something on the Internet without Google, Baidu, just like the amount of video on the website in front of you, a page can only display about 50 at most, and this display can not meet the diverse and discerning tastes of customers at all, so although this website is relatively perfect, customer satisfaction must not be high.
Obviously, Netflix also discovered this problem, but the technology was not at home, so it explored for a month, but failed to overcome this problem.
The technology of the website search function has long been rotten in the future, and any entry-level programmer can make it, but at this time, this is still a fashionable thing, after all, Google will not be established until next year, and when Google finds a mature business model, it will be a few years later.
"Interesting. Roy looked at Mark without fear, "Mr. Randolph, is this what you call a problem?"
Mark was shocked, not knowing whether the other party was really confident, fearless, or bluffing and fishing in troubled waters, he was not a fool who knew nothing about computer technology, and he recruited the programmers in the company. He has also inquired about this search technique in many ways, according to the exact news, it is very difficult to implement, thinking of this, Mark's face is not good, how can he be fooled by a bastard who is not yet 20 years old and has not graduated from high school, this is simply a mockery and insult to him.
Mark said to Reed next to him: "If he can solve this problem, I have nothing to say, and the company naturally has a place for him." But if it doesn't work, I want him to pay the price for his hubris. β
Reid asked, "Roy, can you really do this?"
"Of course, it's a piece of cake. Roy pretended to be relaxed, showing full confidence, he decided to join the company first, and then slowly study the implementation, as long as God gives him time, this simple little program is simply a point question.
"Then please. Reed said.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Reed, then we'll ......," Roy laughed.
"OK, let's go to the next meeting roomβ"
Mark interrupted directly: "Hey, little ghost, you can't wait to sign the contract before you prove your ability? I can tell you right now that opportunism won't work!"
"Mr. Randolph, as you know, this is a lot of work, and I am not obligated to solve the problem for you free of charge. Roy said righteously.
"In other words, I'm going to expose you for what you really are? After all, you just said 'a piece of cake', and now you're bargaining, is that inconsistent and inconsistent?" Mark said.
Roy saw Reed pretending to be deep in thought, and suddenly understood in his heart that Reed and Mark were one singing in black and the other in white, and if he didn't show some real skills, this job would be in vain.
These old foxes seem to be a lot unfamiliar with their flickering level. Now let's show me the real thing.
Roy was silent for a moment and said, "OK, how long do I have to implement this feature?"
Mark looked at his watch and held out a finger: "One day." I guess it took so little time to match your genius title, didn't I?"
Roy secretly calculated in his heart, a day, a little hanging.
Ulysses didn't know anything about computer technology, just now Roy and Mark have been grinding guns, you come and go, he looked anxious, but he couldn't interject, and held back for a long time. He finally understood what he said just now, and immediately said with pride and confidence: "Heh! β
"Two hours?" Mark confirmed to Roy in surprise, "Is it really only two hours?" haha, it's a young genius.
"Reed, I realize that maybe I was wrong this time, and I almost missed out on the real talent, and it seems that I will not only apologize, but at least treat you to another big dinner. β
Mark couldn't help but sit back and wait for the show.
This teasing tone made Reid not know how to answer, he just smiled helplessly.
Roy smiled lightly on the surface, and in his heart he had already picked up the butcher's knife, and vowed to chop this guy Ulysses into a hundred!
"Ulysses still understands me, but at the end of the day, with the time it takes to test the program, I think it should be done before I get off work. β
Ulysses unconsciously praised: "It is worthy of being a boss, and he can always do anything." β
You can't have your whole family, Ulysses, you shit, fuck your mother, I will never take you when I come out in the future.
"OK, God said, time is of the essence, let's start quickly, finish early and leave work early. Roy ignored Ulysses and Mark and the others, and walked up to the two programmers and chatted amicably.
"Hi man, Roy Van, just call me Roy. Is this what you did?"
"That's right. One of the skinny men with glasses said.
Roy exclaimed: "To be honest, your website is really good, whether it is the layout, algorithm, art or response speed, it is absolutely first-class!"
The thin man with glasses smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." β
"Super superb. Roy also patted the short and fat programmer next to him on the shoulder, and smiled enthusiastically: "Do you usually use this computer to program?
"- Hi guys. Mark interjected: "I need to remind you that this kid is not an employee of the company, but he arrogantly claims that he can solve the search problem that you haven't solved for a month in 2 hours." Of course, if he can really solve it, he will probably be your boss in the future.
"That's all there is to it, and enjoy the last afternoon. β
The thin man with glasses and the short and fat man's faces instantly fell, and they listened to Mark's meaning, the young man with a kind smile in front of him was not only good at programming, but also arrogant, and more likely to become their boss, this sudden information made them uncertain.
They felt slighted and threatened.
Fake! You, is there a boss in this world who is so careful and careful?
This world full of malice, damn it, don't let me meet your wife.
