Chapter 21: The team returns home
Three days later, in front of the terminal of the Capital International Airport, at 3:40 p.m., ......
Zhang Lexing anxiously walked around outside the passenger exit, today is the day when the development team returns to China, according to the time on the ticket, someone should come out now, but there has been no news of the plane landing. During this period, Chu Jing ran to the inquiry desk no less than ten times, but the staff would only keep saying: "I'm sorry, because of the weather, the flight is delayed, if there is further news, we will issue a notice ......", but there was never an accurate news, which made Zhang Lexing feel at ease. I've read too many reports of air crashes, and my mind is always thinking about it.
Patting his head slightly, Zhang Lexing tried to drive away the messy thoughts in his mind, and then Chu Jing came over and said: "Lexing, the person at the inquiry desk just now said that there is news of the plane, and it is expected to land in about ten minutes", Zhang Lexing's heart was slightly relaxed.
After waiting for about half an hour, Zhang Lexing finally saw the figure of the development team in the flow of people pouring out of the passenger exit, and this time his heart was completely put back in his stomach. The first to come out was not Zhan Jun, but Mike Ronald, who was a little fat, and when he saw Zhang Lexing who came to pick him up, he looked very excited, dragging his poor suitcase, and ran towards Zhang Lexing at a speed that did not match his figure, and his voice floated over from afar: "Aha, boss, I finally saw you." For more than a month, we all miss you very much......", followed by Zhan Jun, Zhao Yuanhuan, Zhong Guoqiang and others, and the other two foreigners, Ken Silverman and John Fermax, dragged last, Zhang Lexing quietly counted, a total of twenty people, plus Xiao Donghai, who came back early, there are many of them.
The long-distance flight made everyone a little tired, of course, this has to exclude Mike, an active guy, after more than ten hours of flight, he still has the energy to run so fast, and he can still pant while running in one breath without forgetting to show his American enthusiasm to Xu Qian, Chu Jing and other female employees, and I don't know who he was thinking about when he first came out.
"Welcome home!" Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Lexing greeted in Chinese and English: "Let's get in the car first, I am estimated to be tired after flying for more than ten hours, let's go back to the dormitory to rest first." ”
"Please note, the car is here, please come with me" Chu Jing clapped her hands, then made a gesture to signal everyone to follow, and then walked towards a bus in the parking lot.
Zhang Lexing had also thought about how so many people could go back before, if he used a taxi, it was estimated that there would be at least six, plus the Mercedes-Benz car opened the road, which was a bit of a swaggering feeling of passing through the city, but fortunately, Chu Jingyou didn't know where to get such a bus that could hold more than 30 people, so that Zhang Lexing even saved the Mercedes-Benz.
Everyone got on the bus, put their luggage away, and each found a seat to sit down, Zhang Lexing picked a front seat, Ma Guanghai sat down next to him, and Chu Jing borrowed the bus to charter the driver, but Ma Guanghai didn't have to suffer. As soon as he sat down for a while, Zhang Lexing felt that something was wrong behind him, and when he looked back, it was actually Mike, Ken and John.
Seeing Zhang Lexing turn around, Mike glanced at the other two, and said pitifully: "Boss, you promised us before that after coming to China, you would take us to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, when can we ......?"
Looking at the expectant expressions of the three of them, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but be a little funny, these three guys were still thinking about it, but it was not easy to come to China from afar, and it was not good for them to be too disappointed.
So Zhang Lexing got up and stood on the aisle, clapped his hands first to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "Today is Thursday, considering that everyone is working hard from afar, tomorrow will give everyone a day to clean up their dormitory, and you can add something according to your preferences." After that, Saturday and Sunday are closed for two days, and you can arrange as you please. In order to welcome everyone's arrival, the company plans to organize a two-day self-guided tour of Beijing, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other famous scenic spots. ”
Hearing Zhang Lexing's words, cheers immediately sounded in the carriage, and even Zhan Jun and the others, who were still tired just now, jumped up happily. After finishing in Chinese, Zhang Lexing explained to the foreigner trio in English, hearing that they could visit the famous Great Wall and the Forbidden City, the three immediately blossomed, and expressed their gratitude one after another, and Mike was also excited and wanted to express his happiness with a hug, if it were not for Ma Guanghai to stop, Zhang Lexing estimated that he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the foreigner trio.
The bus continued to drive towards Madian South Village in the North Third Ring Road, Zhang Lexing came to sit next to Chu Jing, and took advantage of the fact that the car had not yet arrived, and told Chu Jing to quickly contact the travel agency to find a tour guide, because Zhang Lexing was actually a temporary idea just now, and if you don't hurry up, don't lose your trust when the time comes.
The car drove into the gate of the Madian South Village community and stopped, and drove along the road in the community until it stopped at Building 14. After getting out of the car, everyone in the development team was very curious about the environment of the community, especially the foreigner trio. Xu Qian and Shen Guokang from the Administration Department did not go when they picked up the airport, the two of them waited directly in the community, and when they saw that everyone was coming, the two began to distribute room keys to everyone according to the previous distribution plan.
After placing the development team, there was naturally an indispensable reception banquet in the evening, and the place was selected in the famous Quanjude in Beijing, which opened the eyes of the three foreigners.
After a day's rest, the two-day self-guided tour of Workshop Beijing departed. On the first day, I went to Badaling, I swam the Great Wall for a day, many people became heroes, and the next day I went to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. In fact, Zhang Lexing has already played in these places, if it weren't for the friendship with the staff, in fact, there was no need to follow to join in the excitement.
Monday is the first day of the development team's official work, the number of people in the office has reached nearly 30 people, and the office area of more than 400 square meters is a little crowded, and the company's first plenary meeting has to temporarily borrow the conference room of the building to open.
It was Chu Jing who presided over the meeting today, and seeing that everyone had already arrived, Zhang Lexing made a gesture at her, signaling that she could start.
Chu Jing nodded, took out a notepad and said: "The main topic of our meeting today is the company's recent work arrangement, because the new office area on the 8th floor has not been renovated, so everyone can only work in the office on the 7th floor temporarily, the place is basically enough, as for the development of computers because of the site, I am afraid that they can't all be put out, considering this special situation, now make some arrangements for the work in the coming period."
According to the discussion of the Administration Department, and reported to the company's leaders for approval. The company's recent work arrangements are as follows:
1. Tomorrow 29 sets of development computers will be in place, because of site factors, the office can only put ten sets, and the rest can only be installed in the staff dormitory for the time being, and other auxiliary equipment will be gradually put in place. In this case, the Development Department can arrange the work site on its own, and the work tasks will be arranged later.
2. The Administration Department and the Finance Department will continue to work in the office on the 7th floor, the recent work of the Administration Department is mainly the recruitment of personnel and the decoration of the new office area on the 8th floor, and the Finance Department is mainly to manage the use of funds.
That's the basic situation, if you have any ideas, please feel free to speak. ”
The foreigner trio is very honest today, and the unfamiliar Chinese makes them like listening to heavenly books, fortunately, Xu Qian's English level is not bad, and he helped the three of them translate in time, otherwise the three foreigners can only look at it with wide eyes and stupidity.
After listening to Chu Jing's words, Zhan Jun stood up and said, "It's not much of a problem where the work location is, it's just that this equipment must be equipped as soon as possible, otherwise everyone won't be able to do things." In addition, when the company's development funds can be applied, it is best to tell us, so that it is better to arrange some development projects. ”
Zhao Yuanhuan also stood up and said: "Also, if you need our assistance in the recruitment process, I hope to notify you in advance, so that we can also make personnel adjustments." ”
"I read some information, and now the people our company needs are not easy to recruit in China. Although programmers, artists, and musicians can find some professionals, they have no experience in game development, which is not necessarily suitable for our company, and it is even more difficult to find planners, and it can be said that there are no talents in this area in China. Although there are some people engaged in game design in Shanghai and Shenzhen, after all, they are in our brother companies or affiliated companies, and they are too familiar to start, and they have no work experience on the PC platform, so they are not suitable. Chu Jing said while flipping through the information.
"Indeed, there is a shortage of talents in this area in China. Zhang Lexing nodded and said: "It's easy to find a programmer, and it's difficult to find a suitable one for other majors for the time being." ”
"Hmm. Chu Jing flipped through the notepad in his hand and said: "Therefore, our company can only recruit new people for training at present, although it is slow, but the talents cultivated in this way may be more suitable for our company." We can do this by posting job postings in newspapers or through the Talent Exchange Service Center, but this requires training for new employees, and those who can do the training can only be selected from the development department. ”
"We're not trying to shirk it," Zhan Jun said. "However, I suggest that the company should set up a special training department to deal with the staff training, otherwise it will have a great impact on the development progress of the project. ”
"Yes, once we start working on projects, we will definitely be too busy, and I am afraid that we will not have the energy to take care of training anymore. Zhao Yuanhuan agreed.
"I can understand your thoughts, after the company is on the right track, there must be a special training department to be responsible, but now the company is still in the initial stage, and the future project will definitely not be busy if you only rely on your 20 or so people, so the training of this first batch of new employees can only rely on you. But don't worry, this training period will not be too long, basically two or three months, so that they can master some basic information, so that they will not cause chaos when you are working under them. The company's development funds have been in place, but in the past two or three months, the company's main task is personnel recruitment and training, so I will not give you specific development tasks for the time being, I hope you can fully support the recruitment of the administrative department, and do a good job in the training, the company's future development strength can depend on you!" Zhang Lexing said.
Zhang Lexing explained to Chu Jing again: "This recruitment should not only consider developers, but also appropriately recruit a few people who understand marketing, after all, the things made have to be sold in the future." ”
Chu Jing nodded and wrote a few strokes in her notebook.
……
After discussion, it was finally decided to implement it according to Chu Jing's plan. Chu Jing is responsible for contacting the newspaper and the Talent Exchange Service Center, publishing recruitment advertisements in the newspapers, and agreeing on the date of on-site recruitment with the Talent Exchange Service Center. If someone comes to the company for an interview, Zhan Jun is responsible for reviewing, and Zhao Yuanhuan is responsible for on-site recruitment, and the administrative department is responsible for the resumes of non-developers.
After the meeting, Chu Jing led a group of people to get busy, some contacted the newspaper, and some contacted the talent exchange service center. Chu Jing's ability to do things is still very strong, and three days later, a newspaper has already begun to publish recruitment advertisements for the creative workshop, and the advertisements are quite distinctive. The advertisement borrowed the embroidered portraits of the characters of the Three Kingdoms and the map of the late Eastern Han Dynasty as the background, and wrote on it: "Chen Shou wrote the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Luo Guanzhong performed the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Do you also have a dream of the Three Kingdoms, join the creative workshop, and create your own Three Kingdoms world!" is very eye-catching.
There is also an eyebrow to contact the talent exchange service center, there is a talent exchange fair this Sunday, held in the Working People's Cultural Palace, it is said that there are many companies that have signed up to participate, and it happens that the sunrise software also participated, and it happened that the booth of the creative workshop was next to it, perhaps because it was counted as a software company.
It's Sunday in a blink of an eye, maybe because the advertisement has just been released, and no one has come to apply for the job in the past two days, and it is even less likely that anyone will come to the door on the rest day. With nothing to do, Zhang Lexing followed Chu Jing and Zhan Jun and others who went to the Working People's Cultural Palace to set up a stall to recruit and join in the fun, and Xu Qian from the Administration Department, Zhou Jianbo and Cheng Lin from the Development Department, plus Ma Guanghai and Chu Jing temporarily found a driver, a group of eight people, drove two cars, and killed the Working People's Cultural Palace in a mighty way.
