"I'm really sorry to keep everyone waiting, there was a phone call just now that was delayed for a while."

Gu Mojie opened the door of the glass cubicle, greeted him very casually, and greeted the three programmers who were sitting on the sofa waiting.

According to his plan, the company will need more than a dozen programmers in the first batch. However, the company has a small structure, no foundation, and it is difficult to win the trust of people by relying on salary alone, and people with ability are easily unwilling to come, and there is no movement in the recruitment advertisement several times, and in the end it can only rely on the connections that Zhou Lixin knows in the circle to attract people in a targeted manner.

On the first day, three people were willing to come, and it was good.

Among the three people opposite, Du Junqiang and Teng Xiaojuan seemed to be not highly qualified, and when they saw Gu Mojie coming over, they were a little resigned; And Zhu Haibo looked at Gu Mojie with an inspecting and scrutinizing look, and he couldn't see the slightest lack of confidence, but his eyes showed a sense of surprise.

Of course, Gu Mojie knew where the other party's surprise came from—because he had seen too much of this surprise for a while. It was a surprise at how young he was, and I didn't believe that he, a junior who was just about to enter his freshman year, could make such a family business.

He quietly asked about the identities of the three people, figured out who was who, and then sat with everyone casually, briefly introduced the company's business direction and his original personal achievements, and then stopped talking about it and went straight to the point.

"The company is created, there is nothing else to say, and those who don't want to believe it still don't believe it. The company's business direction is mainly to write some expansion software that needs to use search engine technology, but it will not directly do search engines, and the knowledge structure of several people is required by the company. ”

Gu Mojie said as he took out a contract template, pointed it and said, "This is the company's labor contract for programmers, and it's all in this format." A few people can take a look at it first, and if they are willing to sign it after a month, they will sign it in this format at that time. During this month, you can try it out first to see if you are up to the company's tasks and if it is suitable for the working environment and atmosphere here. ”

When Gu Mojie finished this sentence, Zhu Haibo on the other side was already a little disdainful, and said in his heart: "I didn't say that I decided to do it here, so you just gave us a task?" Shouldn't this guy be a bit of an urgent one-shot deal, to squeeze our cheap labor for a month, and then get a little probationary salary to send me away? How does this company look at it, how unreliable......"

Thinking so, he almost got to his feet. Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Mojie took out a few envelopes.

"After all, there is no contract, not even an ID card, so we can make it simpler for the first week. Here are three envelopes, 1500 each, which is your weekly salary during the probationary period. As long as you are willing to try it, you can sign this voucher, you can take it away first, we will pay the salary first, and then work. I believe that you have also been programmers for a few years, and you all have great prospects, and your character value should not be so cheap that you can't get the money. ”

A weekly salary of 1500, that's 6000 per month. In the future, this money wants to recruit a programmer with two or three years of qualifications and a good level, but there is no door.

What's more, even if they are all programmers, they all have two or three years of qualifications, and the value of what company they worked in before is very different.

For example, Zhu Haibo just jumped out of Sohu a while ago and returned to Qiantang. At that time, I applied for a company, and it was written that "more than three years of work experience is required", and he was not afraid at all, so he went directly.

The HR of the other company asked him how many years of work experience he had, and he directly said, "Four years." ”

HR looked at the resume and obviously graduated in 01, where did he get four years of work experience? When he said this question, Zhu Haibo replied contemptuously: "Overtime." ”

Similarly, some companies work overtime very seriously and have a heavy workload. Zhu Haibo sincerely thinks that the two years he worked in Sohu must be worth three or four years of accumulation in companies that don't work overtime. The other party's HR does not know the goods, so he has to use a hard bar to set people, that is, the level of HR is too inferior, and he does not understand the industry.

However, the price and average wage level in '03 were much lower than in later generations.

6,000 yuan, probationary period, at least it is already sincere.

The three of them took the envelope, you look at me, I look at you, and they all saw a signal: no matter how irregular the company looks, at least the sincerity is there, why don't you try it?

The three of them signed, received the money, and filled in their ID numbers and mobile phone numbers. Gu Mojie smiled slightly, and handed them several printed documents, which were the tasks they had to complete this week.

Judging from the description, the first software to be written by the company is just a pinyin input method.

Later, Gu Mojie personally gave them a simple training for an hour and a half -- not to teach them how to write code, which Gu Mojie can't teach -- but to teach them how to use the company's code-based server to upload and download code to a local work computer, and how to use the company's database.

The computers where programmers work cannot be directly connected to the Internet, but only to the company's code database and compilation server. This management method is a common practice in many Internet companies to prevent programmers from stealing the company's source code. In order to maintain confidentiality, in many cases, even a USB flash drive is not allowed to be inserted into the computer where the code is written, which can be said to eliminate all means of transmission as much as possible.

The three of them didn't think that the product code of this company was worth anything, or that it was worth stealing, but they just listened to Gu Mojie's explanation, assigned the task, and didn't mention it.

Since it was the first day, it took a long time to explain and discuss, and there were not even a few hours to write code. The part of the task that Zhu Haibo was assigned to was very trivial, and he couldn't see what function he wanted to achieve. He can only imagine the rest of the main body of the program as a black box, and he only needs to implement the inputs and outputs that he needs to achieve in this part, and then he can be considered to know whether he is writing correctly.

As for where the input comes from and where the output goes, Zhu Haibo is completely black. Fortunately, several of them have been programmers for several years, and they still have two or three points to adapt to this work mode. If you're a recent computer science graduate, it's going to be maddening if you ask him to stop thinking about the global functions and focus on the local features.

However, being able to put up with this mode of work for the time being does not mean that they like it. If it weren't for the fact that he had already received a week's salary and was unwilling to break his promise, Zhu Haibo would almost not have thought about it the next day.

……

Gu Mojie did not arrange a rest time for several programmers, and Zhu Haibo arrived at the company at 10 o'clock the next day. Although the other two had already arrived, looking at the breakfast spread out on the desk, they knew that it must have arrived soon.

In addition to the two programmers who came yesterday, there are a few more people in the office, some writing other code, and some administrative staff, who seem to be a little more popular than the day before.

However, Zhu Haibo soon discovered the abnormality.

The pancakes on Du Junqiang's table had already been cold, and they were thrown there after biting half of them, obviously they hadn't eaten them for a long time. And Du Junqiang himself was looking at a report at hand with bright eyes, and then drove VS2002 while crackling and deleting the code, and at the same time applying for compilation and retesting with a little bit of a paragraph, as if he had found a gold mine.

Teng Xiaojuan on the other side was in a similar situation, in the milk tea straw on the girl's table, you could still see half of the coconut patch blocked in the middle, obviously not finished. And Teng Xiaojuan was already busy, and she didn't care about eating at all.

Zhu Haibo, who was biting on a sandwich, originally had no intention of correcting his work attitude. But seeing that the two would-be colleagues were so powerful, he was not too public, his face was slightly pale at the moment, and he re-wrapped the sandwich paper and put it in his pocket, and went over to say hello:

"Good morning everyone, what's going on? Don't finish breakfast? ”

"It's Haibo, come and see!" Du Junqiang was awakened by his voice, only to find that Zhu Haibo had walked behind him, and he didn't even know that there was one more person in the office before, which showed how high the concentration was.

Du Junqiang waved his hand, pointed to the computer screen and said: "I am also a person who has saved up for three years, and it is the first time I have seen a software company's test so powerful!" The part of the code that I went up on PORTING before I got off work last night, the functions are not complete and have not run through, and the people in the test team can actually put forward a dozen bugs in such a semi-finished product, which is really a god! ”

"What?"

Zhu Haibo's expression was also awe-inspiring when he heard this, and he suddenly didn't dare to underestimate it, so he hurried over his face to take a closer look.

But I saw that Du Junqiang's computer was open with three software, among which the one who wrote the code was naturally VS2002. The other two software are the same client of the company's code database and the test bug database that the boss Gu Mojie taught them yesterday. On the list interface of the BUG database, there is a large list of bugs, and it is also clear which part of the code has the problem and who is responsible.

Zhu Haibo saw more than a dozen Du Junqiang's names on it, but then he saw more bugs written by the responsible person with "Zhu Haibo", and his face turned a little red when he brushed the ground. Yesterday, he wasn't too involved in writing the code, but he didn't expect the gap in progress and efficiency to be fed back all at once.

The programmer is also good-looking, and he doesn't talk to people at the moment, so he immediately returns to his position, opens these software, and takes a closer look.

After a closer look, Zhu Haibo found that he was not too far behind, because Du Junqiang's original BUGS were not less than him, but people came to work early this morning, and they had already dropped three or four FIX in an hour, so the responsibility BUG that I saw under the "OPEN" status list just now was less than him.

Unfortunately, this kind of happiness did not make him relax, because the more he looked down, the more he felt that the level of testers in this company was unfathomable, far from being comparable to those testers he had seen in similar Internet companies who only knew the symptoms and did not know the cause.

Even the test engineers of Baidu and Sohu are not as strong as this small company with only a few people!

"How did Mr. Gu do this? How big is a testing team he raises? This kind of testing efficiency is of great help to us...... It seems that even if you want to change jobs in the future, it is good to stay in this company for a few years and learn more skills. If we leave here, we won't be able to find a similar company that can point out our problems and help us improve our level quickly......"

In Zhu Haibo's heart, an inexplicable awe was gradually rising. I quickly got into the work of modifying the code without getting carried away. I didn't notice the time going by, two new programmers today, or lunch time.

Seeing that the time had reached two o'clock in the afternoon, and all the programmers were stuck in writing code and couldn't extricate themselves, Gu Mojie finished the matter at hand, and came out of the room to take a look, only to find that his subordinates had forgotten to eat.

"Do you want to fight like this? I'll order takeout. Have a regular meeting at mealtime. ”

As soon as Gu Mojie greeted him, everyone came back to their senses. Zhu Haibo, Du Junqiang and others suddenly found that this was the first time in their work for several years that they did not dislike the leadership meeting.

Because they have too many questions that Gu Mojie needs to answer.
