Chapter 34: My cousin leads the way
Gu Mojie and his cousin Zhou Lixin actually have a very strong relationship, from childhood to adulthood. Because their generation of post-80s generation is an only child, they have no brothers and sisters at all, and their cousins are already the closest.
The reason why I didn't think of asking my cousin for help before was that Gu Mojie always knew that his cousin was not very good at studying, so they developed a tacit understanding since they were young, and it seemed that when they met, they only talked about the world, and they could play in various cities, or secretly went to the black game room and black Internet cafΓ© to play games in the early years without telling their parents.
However, there is absolutely no serious talk between two people, and this habit has been maintained for many years.
But it's clear that it's time to change that iron rule. The day after being rejected by NetEase, Gu Mojie went to Zhou Lixin's house to play and talk about things by the way.
When he entered the door, Zhou Lixin was holding a notebook, where he was playing an online game "Angel Online" with a new public beta in 03.
Gu Mojie's aunt and uncle-in-law, that is, Zhou Lixin's parents, opened a mold factory, and they were very small. In the northern suburbs of Qiantang City, I rented someone else's peasant house to open a factory, with a total of three machine tools and hired five or six workers. Usually, there is no special person for internal management, so my aunt grabs her beard and eyebrows alone. My uncle-in-law is in charge of technology and orders, and there is no so-called weekend.
This kind of small family workshop-style enterprise is the hardest, so Zhou Lixin often has no one to take care of at home, and he has been herding sheep more than Gu Mojie since he was a child. It was already the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and the uncle-in-law and aunt were still struggling for money in the factory, so only Zhou Lixin was tinkering with the computer at home.
"Angel Online" is the earliest and best operated 3DQ version of the online game in China that year. Professions such as mages and summoners in traditional online games have become chefs and technicians in "Angel Online". Fireball magic turns into flaming meatballs, and magic missiles turn into whirling pizzas. This kind of Q version of the cute setting,In 03, it can really be refreshingγ
It's a pity that because of the "free operation" test mode that does not charge point cards, the operator did not discover the scraping system of various props charging like the black-hearted and vicious Shi Yuzhu later, and as a result, when Gu Mojie wanted to play after the college entrance examination in his previous life, the game had gone out of business. It's really a good thing that doesn't live long, and "Journey" has been left for a thousand years.
Gu Mojie doesn't remember that much anymore, but that doesn't stop him from thinking it's a good game.
After entering the door, he didn't even say hello to Zhou Lixin, so he directly opened the idle desktop on the side, logged in to his chef number, and then teleported to the map where Zhou Lixin's dark archer was located, and teamed up to kill monsters and level up equipment.
The early beta version of "Angel Online" leveled up quickly, and it was upgraded several levels in more than an hour, seeing that the monsters on the current map had become gray, and there was no experience in killing again, Zhou Lixin teleported back to the city, sold some of the materials and equipment he had hit, and then thought of getting up and pouring a glass of orange juice for Gu Mojie.
"Rubbing the game again today? Is it that my aunt is too stubborn and won't let you play for a minute at home? When handing the orange juice to Gu Mojie, Zhou Lixin didn't forget to tease.
"No, my final exam is okay, and my mom basically doesn't care about me now. I'm here today to find you for something else. β
"Something else? Do you want to sing K? No girl sings a hairy K! β
"It's business! Brother, you're a senior this year, have you found a job? Do you know any seniors or anything who work in an Internet advertising company? β
"What?" Zhou Lixin finished pouring orange juice for Gu Mojie, and was about to open a can of Coke by himself, but his hands shook when he heard it, and the Coke bubbles squirted out of the mouth of the can, "I heard it right, right?" You actually asked me about finding a job? β
"Hey, I'm not kidding you - I wrote a small software myself, input method, and borrowed some money from someone to promote, but there is no efficient way to advertise."
Zhou Lixin scratched his medium curls like a chicken nest, and it seemed that he needed to calm down. Gu Mojie didn't urge him, just waited quietly on the side.
Speaking from the heart, Zhou Lixin looks slightly more handsome than Gu Mojie, if he cleans up well, just looking at his face, he will definitely be quite marketable among girls. It's a pity that his stature is nearly twenty centimeters shorter than Gu Mojie, only in his early sixties of one meter, and after Zhou Lixin later realized that he didn't have any sisters, he became obsessed with being a technology house and a game house.
Gu Mojie sometimes often asks himself, if he doesn't often cut a small flat head, but grows his hair, maybe it will be even messier than Zhou Lixin's chicken nest.
Zhou Lixin didn't care if he was in the room, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and asked, "First tell me what is the name of your software?" β
"Magnum input method. A ...... that enhances the accuracy of pinyin input
"I know, needless to say, is this it?"
Zhou Lixin's eyes lit up, and he knocked on the keyboard a few times, and then Gu Mojie suddenly found that his cousin was already one of the users of the input method he developed.
It seems that there is no need to explain it further later.
Zhou Lixin fell into a deeper thought, obviously it took a long time to accept this fact: his cousin, who was four years younger than him, and he hadn't studied computer science yet, how could he suddenly come up with this thing?
I smoked a cigarette in four puffs, and before I could figure it out, I would go again. Gu Mojie, who basically doesn't smoke, also accompanied him. When this second root also turned to ashes, Zhou Lixin finally entered the state, and his speech also restored the sense of ease between his usual cousins.
"You kid can do it - do you want to care about your brother's progress in finding a job first, or do you care about your own advertising?"
Gu Mojie smiled slightly, and hurriedly said, "Of course, I still care about your job search first." β
"I have already negotiated, I will go to Ahri Group for an internship after the New Year, the employment agreement has been signed, and I will sign the labor contract after getting the graduation certificate. This year, it was said that Ahri was going to expand its business, and a new division called 'Dibao' would be launched around the graduation season, so the gap of programmers writing PHP was a bit big, and we were also catching up. β
Hearing this, Gu Mojie suddenly felt a little ashamed, because he hadn't even cared about which language his cousin was learning as the main direction of his computer major, and it wasn't until Zhou Lixin said it himself at this moment that he knew that the other party was learning to write PHP.
In the eyes of liberal arts students, it seems that all "computer-savvy technicians" are the same kind of people, and they can be moved around and compatible. But only the science and engineering men themselves know, even if it is subdivided into programmers, its interior is interlaced like a mountain.
Those who write application software write application software, those who do websites do websites, and those who do embedded systems are embedded systems. Maybe a programmer who has initially diverged his direction in college, and then worked for a few years, will always move forward in this subdivision, and there is no possibility of a large-span job change.
Of course, it is not completely impossible, for example, if you can endure the treatment of "changing careers and cutting half of your salary" before Gu Mojie's rebirth, and then start from scratch, it is still possible to abandon your own technical accumulation and change careers again.
Otherwise, why does Ma Feng say "three years of poverty" when talking about the Internet industry?
Gu Mojie mainly wrote embedded systems in his previous life, and of course he also had a bit of a side with application software. But in any case, for the field of PHP websites, Gu Mojie estimates that he will not set foot in this life.
At this moment, when he heard that Zhou Lixin was doing this, and that he was going to Ahri to do things after the New Year, he suddenly had the idea of recruiting the other party to come over to help him in the future, of course, this point seems to be far away at present. What's more, Zhou Lixin is still a newcomer, so it is also beneficial for him to work in the Ahri Group for a few years to accumulate ability and experience.
"Ma Feng's Ahri Group has a bright future, you have found a good place."
Gu Mojie complimented his cousin from the bottom of his heart, which was considered to be the end of the topic.
Zhou Lixin's face was also a little smug, obviously when he talked about this job, he was still very satisfied.
"Then let's talk about the Internet advertising company you are looking for - I also have a senior here who has worked for two years, and he also wrote programs at the beginning, and then changed his career to Internet advertising - of course, he still works for others, not his own boss.
The main thing is to provide intermediary negotiation services for those small online advertising lists. Even if you have a list of thousands of dollars, he will help you contact you, but the more broken your list, the higher the intermediary fee they will take. I see that you list it here, there are more than ten or twenty websites to be played, and it will cost at least more than 10,000 yuan in intermediary fees. If you don't mind, I'll get you in touch. β
"It's okay! Brother, you can't still pit me! I'm taking someone else's mortgage right now, and I can't find the temple gate where I burn incense. A senior led him into the door, and it was not appropriate to pay more than 10,000 yuan in tuition. β
Listening to Gu Mojie's bold words, Zhou Lixin was a little depressed: "Damn!" So wide! More than 10,000 intermediary fees without blinking an eye! Your brother is still worried about a few thousand dollars! If I don't stuff red envelopes with my mentor, people won't let me choose the topic of my graduation project and choose the topic that Ahri wants to do. You're good, you don't take such a big amount of money seriously. β
When Gu Mojie heard this, he said in his heart, isn't this someone sending a pillow just after falling asleep? He was feeling that Zhou Lixin had helped him, and he couldn't get the other party around. And he can be sure that Zhou Lixin's words just now are definitely just unintentional complaints, not trying to ask him for money.
The more this happens, the more he has to give money to the other party.
"What? And this kind of thing? Then I don't have to say it, your business is my business, and I will take 5,000 ...... in a while Oh no ten thousand, give you a point. In the past few months of graduation project, of course, I have to do something meaningful, how can I be harmed by my mentor! β
Zhou Lixin was in a trance for a while, and finally determined: his cousin is no longer the cousin he met last year. Although I don't know what happened to my cousin, it is obvious that the other party has become a cow who will never return.
"You don't ask me for details, just hit me with money?"
"Why ask? We're not business partners, so can't you lie to me? β
"Well, that's a defeat for you." Zhou Lixin covered his head, pretending to be injured.
(For the sake of the innovative nature of this article, all kinds of Taoist friends can pull a handful.) It's not that I'm showing off my feelings, I believe that everyone doesn't want to see the routines rolling, and I also hope that the fresh and customized blood can be more abundant, right? I also hope that my friends can find an organization that understands you, right? If you can, ask for introduction and promotion, ask for friendly book reviews in the middle, and if you really don't have time and energy, then ask for a recommendation vote. οΌ
