Chapter 6 Different Paths
When He Hongyu persuaded Fu Sheng, Chen Fan was staying with Zhang Xiaorong in Songzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Zhang Xiaorong was in charge of the WES company, it was the first time he came to visit.
Zhang Xiaorong is so busy now that he doesn't have time to pay attention to Chen Fan, so he reads WES's WeChat semi-finished products on the computer in Zhang Xiaorong's office.
WES now has only a dozen programmers, but the first trial version of WeChat, a messaging software, has already been made.
Chen Fan opened the trial version, not like QQ, nor like ICQ, but a bit of an impression of WeChat's style, with Zhang Xiaorong's minimalist aesthetics.
Although limited by the era and system, the interface is not as refined as later programs, but the simple and elegant interface looks comfortable.
Chen Fan tried to apply for a WES number and was assigned a digital account number: 10020.
Add 10001's friends and the nickname shown is "Allan".
"Allan" is Zhang Xiaorong's English name, give him a note: Zhang Xiaorong, ok.
These are all functions that Chen Fan and Zhang Xiaorong have mentioned, and they have been realized by WES.
"Ding!" A prompt box pops up on the computer: Zhang Xiaorong wants to pull you into the group: WES Work Discussion Group (10000) [Confirm, Reject]
Chen Fan confirmed and found that everything from 10001 to 10019 was in this group.
Night Owl (10008): Welcome! Put out the welcome mat!
【President】Zhang Xiaorong appoints you as an administrator!
[President] Zhang Xiaorong (10001) will add the title [Boss] to you!
Others: Welcome, warm welcome, the boss is here...... It all bubbled up in an instant.
The group was instantly lively......
[President] Zhang Xiaorong: Anyone who speaks desperately at a meeting attended by a boss, and who replies desperately when there is an email from the boss who is CC, directly firing it will not affect any performance at all, and will enhance the happiness of the team!
The bustle in the group was extinguished in an instant......
[Boss] Chen Fan updated Zhang Xiaorong's title to [Domineering President]
Night Owl: Boss Wise!
【boss】Chen Fan: Why is there no function of group business cards?
[Domineering President] Zhang Xiaorong: What is a group business card?
【Boss】Chen Fan: The nickname displayed in the group is used to distinguish it from a private nickname in the group.
[Domineering President] Zhang Xiaorong: Goodidea
[Domineering President] Zhang Xiaorong: You can do it as a night owl.
[Domineering President] Zhang Xiaorong assigned a new task to the [Program Ape] Night Owl: to develop group business cards.
Night Owl: ......
Night Owl: I didn't finish my last mission.
[Domineering President] Zhang Xiaorong: Why?
Night Owl: It seems that the idea you told me couldn't be realized......
Zhang Xiaorong stopped talking in the group.
Chen Fan studied the task system in this group and found it quite interesting, it is a simple task release and feedback system.
There is also a KPI (Performance) system with each person's KPI score. There is also a passage on the KPI interface: leaders who talk about KPIs all day long and work with KPI goals are unqualified, vulgar, thoughtless, painful, and speechless people!
After a while, Zhang Xiaorong suddenly appeared.
[Domineering President] Zhang Xiaorong uploaded a technical document on the WES code tree **-**-*-* (19990108152308).
[Domineering President] Zhang Xiaorong: Do you think it can be achieved in this way?
Night Owl: ......
Night owl: Zhang prawns are good cows!
……
The task system and code tree are both functions that QQ WeChat does not have in my impression, and it may be that Zhang Xiaorong developed it himself for the convenience of management.
The code tree system has permission management, and Chen Fan asked Zhang Xiaorong for permission to enter the code tree to browse the code inside.
Now there are very few people in the WES group, and Zhang Xiaorong is the update administrator himself. Only code that has been reviewed by him can be updated.
He thinks this idea is very good, and considers whether it can be promoted throughout the group company.
In fact, the code confidentiality of a program is not so important, and there are many open source programs that can be developed very well.
In the Internet era, mastering traffic and users is king, and occasionally some key code can also control the viewer through permission management.
A company has several technical experts does not guarantee that it will be able to do a good job, and the average technical level of the entire company is high, which is the real cow.
The code tree is a thing that can share and learn technical experience, programmers can see a lot of other people's code, including the code of the company's technical experts, and see the code written by people with a lower level than themselves, and if they are not happy with it, they can also update and cover his code and get a certain reward.
In this way, the technical level of the entire company can be improved, and it can also promote a learning atmosphere and become a learning company.
Chen Fan is struggling to recruit enough talent, and the umbrella company is not yet well-known and cannot compete with other well-known IT companies.
At this time, there was a shortage of IT talents in China, and those companies that were already famous when recruiting on campus, such as Huawei, recruited one-fifth of the students who graduated from the computer major of the famous school in 98.
The umbrella is now divided into soup, soup and water are not enough to fill the stomach, so I can only consider digging and cultivating talents by myself.
……
When Chen Fan was pouring water in the chat group inside WES, Zhou Hongyi was scolding.
"This is the result of your work in the past ten days?"
The technician of 3721 had just submitted the last code, and Zhou Hongyi only looked at it for a few minutes and pointed out several errors, and finally concluded: "Worthless!" ”
Zhou Hongyi has a straight temper, is angry, quick thinking, and has an impatient personality.
When he has a meeting with his employees, the employees have to be careful when they speak, and if they are not careful, they will be caught by him and will be speechless.
And he speaks straightforwardly, does not care about other people's feelings, and likes to do things out of the ordinary.
……
Zhang Xiaorong and Zhou Hongyi can be regarded as the two most famous programmers of the new generation in China in 98, and the two of them still know each other.
Because of their hobby of watching movies, the two also went together to buy pirated discs.
At that time, Zhang Xiaorong was a "successful but down-and-out" star programmer, and the People's Daily in '97 even worried that he would starve to death......
When Zhang Xiaorong was doing foxmail, Zhou Hongyi often criticized him, saying that you can't do this, foxmail has no business model, and said that you want to add advertising and make a profit. Zhang Xiaolong said, why does it have to be like this? As long as there are users and feelings, it is good.
Every argument ended with a long silence.
Zhou Hongyi and Zhang Xiaorong, two of the most famous programmers of the new generation in 98, have very different personalities, Zhou Hongyi is known for speaking and acting without scruples, while Zhang Xiaorong is a taciturn perfectionist.
Chen Fan stayed in Zhang Xiaorong's WES company for a whole day and left satisfied.
At this time, Fu Sheng, who was far away in Quancheng, also decided to join the umbrella company......
