Chapter 4 When the family business is big, sooner or later it will be torn apart
In Bao Yicha's martial arts novels, a very high concept is cited, called "knowledge and obstacle to knowledge".
These words were originally derived from Buddhist scriptures. Specific examples, it is roughly mentioned in "Tianlong Babu", if you want to practice "Yijin Sutra", you have to "have no idea of practicing martial arts in your heart, and you can help". If you don't have the idea of practicing martial arts, you have broken through the Low force of "no beginning and no ignorance" and reached the high realm of "no self and no phase".
It's a pity that the great monks of the past dynasties, when they practice the "Yijin Sutra", which one doesn't want to practice peerless martial arts? How is it possible to "have no heart to practice martial arts in your heart"? So the servants went crazy one after another, and in the end only the sweeping monk and Zhuang Juxian were cheaper.
The sentence mentioned by Gu Mojie and Sheng Wei is "I am not ignorant, I am very knowledgeable; I just don't pride myself in having knowledge, and I don't hesitate to waste it." If you think about it carefully, you can also climb to the realm of "no self and no appearance".
Gu Mojie's "selflessness and appearance" and "modesty" are not the same concept.
"Modest" people have the idea that "knowledge is precious" in their hearts. It's just that I know that my knowledge is not advanced enough and profound enough, so I suppress the idea that I am proud of the knowledge I already have. Gu Mojie did it, no matter how the knowledge in his head came and went, how it was stored and wasted; If you want to use it, you can use it, and if you don't use it, you don't care about nostalgia between storage and waste, and the realm is naturally much higher.
The tiger wolf is also benevolent, and the guinea dog knows it, and the way is in feces and urine, so much so.
In the era of great changes, the torrent of knowledge explosion is surging, and only those who have achieved this level of freedom and freedom will not be swallowed up by the younger generations just "for a few years".
If you don't change like Gu Mojie and be reborn once, the whole world will be under the world. No other person has such a thorough understanding of this subject as he has. It can be said that this creed is the greatest gain of his rebirth in vain. Even if the wheel of history rolls forward in the future, after 2013, he can still rely on this experience to be invincible for a lifetime.
……
Sheng Wei is also a personality. People with temperament. Maybe interpersonal communication is a shortcoming, but the technical nerds are absolutely bursting.
Such a person, just throwing money can't convince him to do it with you. Only if you completely convince him in terms of ability and three views, can you bring this general under your command.
Even Zhou Hongyi didn't have this ability, at most he forced the other party to retire to the rivers and lakes to be a public servant. But Gu Mojie succeeded.
The next morning, after Sheng Wei woke up, Gu Mojie called his new number and made an appointment. Let Sheng Wei go to the company the next day, and there is no need to officially report. Just introduce him to the grass platform team that has just been built to write security software, and everyone will organize and assign tasks.
As for the follow-up work, it can be done according to the subcontracting system, Sheng Wei can work wherever he likes to work for the time being, come to the company once a week, upload and submit the code. In terms of treatment, Gu Mojie did not give Sheng Weikai shares and dividends, but only promised three consecutive years. According to the price of 2 million per year. After three years, if Shengwei's business grows bigger, salary and dividends will be added.
Deal with the person who was the boss before. and dealing with the original hackers, you can't use the same compensation system to control.
Sheng Wei agreed to this condition, he liked this relaxed way of working, and money was secondary.
He didn't know that Gu Mojie arranged this, on the one hand, for a relaxed working atmosphere. On the other hand, because his company is expanding too fast, the newly rented one-story office building has not yet been renovated. There are no people in the company now, and only those who lead the outline can work in the company in several project teams, and other peripheral personnel write code at home and upload it every few days.
It's time to come. Sheng Wei rarely packed up decently and took a taxi to Gu Mojie's company.
When he walked to the place, Gu Mojie took down one of the entire floors in the Eastern Software Park. The old office downstairs was still in use, and it was jammed. In the newly rented place upstairs, only two or three rooms were originally renovated, and the decoration style was uniform, which was temporarily used by Gu Mojie. As for most of the places next to it, it is still the world of the construction team, and the construction period is hastily rushed.
Gu Mojie led Sheng Wei into his small conference room and introduced him to Zou Sheng, Zhu Haibo and several other subordinate cadres and project managers. There are also a few engineers poached from the Kill Soft Company; and some newly recruited small shrimps that are intended to be used as the backbone of the future security software department.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this Sheng Gong also graduated from Qianjiang University, and he is my senior. He is very good at active protection of Internet security, search engine optimization, and botnet crimes. I've appointed him as the product manager for the security software industry, and we will work together well in the future. ”
Sheng Wei was a little dragged at the beginning, and it is easy for people who have been hackers for a long time not to take others seriously.
But after a little exchange, I heard that Zou Sheng had been in Silicon Valley for two or three years, and after returning to China, he also started his own business, which can be regarded as a third or three achievements in a small field. Just like this, the calf was dug up by Gu Mojie, and Sheng Wei was shocked to realize that he didn't dare to underestimate Gu Mojie's people anymore.
To say that when I first came, I still had three points of grievances in my heart, and after understanding the situation, this grievance disappeared.
……
After introducing the people, Gu Mojie assigned tasks to everyone and said:
"Manager Sheng, your business is currently the company's key direction. In the next stage, there will be a lot of resources tilted towards your side - the input method department now only needs a few maintenance engineers, and the expected functions of the computer manager have been completed, and it will only need to be upgraded slowly. The Hatsune download is also a National Day that has just been launched. At present, the company is in the development of the project, mainly your part, do you have the confidence to come up with results before New Year's Day? ”
Sheng Wei patted his chest directly: "No problem, with the cooperation of the colleagues who used to kill soft, this speed is definitely enough." I calculated it, and on New Year's Day, I can take out several functions such as 'rogue software killing', 'gray pigeon, zombie virus scanning', and 'gray pigeon source data active analysis'. The rest, when we go online, the security database is gradually collected and enriched, and then rolled out step by step.
For those follow-up things, the speed of development is not something that we technicians can control. It also depends on how much usage and downloads we can get after the first phase of the software is promoted; Whether the data feedback from users is comprehensive enough. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Gu can guarantee the promotion of the software. ”
Insiders speak insider's talk. Not only Gu Mojie, but also a few people next to him, knew that Sheng Wei was knowledgeable when he heard it.
It's like the Google Alpha Dog that defeated humans in later generations, no matter how well its deep learning is written, how can it beat Lee Sedol if it doesn't have enough human user game data for it to learn? Whether it is any deep learning algorithm or other evolutionary algorithm, the learning speed of software written based on this architecture does not depend on the quality of the programmer's algorithm, but also on the breadth of data it collects.
To tell the truth, any company, as long as it has the huge amount of data sampling like Google in later generations, even if their algorithm is several times more inefficient than Google, can learn their artificial intelligence. That's where the volume and comprehensiveness of the data comes in. It's like a person's martial arts moves are worse, as long as the internal strength is profound, to the extent that flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, he can also become a master.
The amount of data is the internal force. It is one of the core competitiveness of Internet companies in the cloud era.
"You don't have to worry about this - our platform is strong enough. If you want to say that China is better than us in terms of user volume and data collection, it is nothing more than Baidu, Ahri, and Tengxun. Our new opponent, Mr. Zhou Hongyi, does not have this advantage at present, he is nothing more than more money than me.
Manager Sheng, you may not know, I will use Mr. Zou's 'Hatsune Download' as an example. Hatsune download, I asked him to make a plug-in package of 'Hatsune Computer Manager', which is a direct pop-up window to remind users of automatic upgrades, and it is half bundled. The eleventh holiday is just seven days, and guess how many people have upgraded? More than five million users!
When we first relied on the Hatsune input method to push Hatsune PC Manager, what was the conversion rate and conversion speed? It took three months to convert 25% of users. What is our speed now? In 7 days, it converted 25%. As long as the platform of Hatsune Computer Manager is firmly built, are you afraid that in the future, what you make will not be used by a large number of users in the first time? So you don't have to worry about the number of users and the frequency of user use. ”
If a software is made into such a platform: just like QQ, QQ pop-up window reminds you to upgrade, and if you are not careful, you will install it. So, how terrible will the number of installs of the software promoted by it be?
If the thing being pushed is a game or entertainment software, perhaps the user will deliberately uninstall it because of annoyance. But if the push is good-intentioned, what is pushed is just a convenient software that does not disturb the people, and how many people will deliberately twist and uninstall it?
Think about it.
Sheng Wei had no worries at all, and went to write his security software with peace of mind. The other participants also dispersed in a hurry, doing their own things, only Zou Sheng stayed.
As soon as Gu Mojie looked up, he found that Zou Sheng hadn't left, and said in a daze: "Something?" ”
Zou Sheng said: "Mr. Gu, you just said that we relied on the 'Hatsune Computer Manager' to bundle pop-up windows to push our download plug-ins, and the effect was really good, and there were five million users in one Golden Week." But in this way, our Internet Express with Hou Yantang can be regarded as a complete tear in the face. Maybe the Internet Express will soon be cut off from our mutual referral cooperation.
We now have to pay more attention to the promotion of our own channels and spend more money. Otherwise, let Hou Yantang come to his senses, maybe the number of downloads of 'Hatsune Computer Manager' itself will slow down. ”
Gu Mojie picked up the teacup, got up and stared out the window, took a sip slowly, and said firmly: "This day will come sooner or later." I was never afraid of this when I pulled you in. We now have tens of millions of dollars on hand that we can use at any time, and we are afraid that others will block my channels. (To be continued.) )
