Chapter 089. programmer
Ningjiang 1919 Bar Street, a bar that looks like a restaurant.
At the bar, two people sat at a small table.
One of them is Liu Xueyan, he has been a lot haggard recently, most of the work of the activity group is hard and tedious, much harder than the previous office, and he and Zhang Ke said that he had lost weight like self-deprecation, but he was extremely tired in his heart.
The other person, not tall, similar in age to Liu Xueyan, wearing glasses and a plaid shirt, looked honest and dutiful, he didn't seem to be used to places like bars, and from time to time picked up the lemonade on the table and took sip after sip.
"Wu Tong, don't be nervous."
Liu Xueyan said, taking a sip of the coffee in the cup.
The two chatted sentence by sentence, at this time, a young man walked into the bar, Liu Xueyan saw him, immediately beckoned, the young man sat down at the table, and ordered a glass of soda.
"Hello, editor Liu Xueyan, who is this?."
He was Xu Rui, Xu Rui turned his gaze to the other person, his gaze made the man in the plaid shirt retreat a little, but Liu Xueyan quickly patted him on the shoulder.
"This is Wu Tong, a friend who joined the company at the same time as me, he is the developer of the prototype of the new player of Tomato Video Network, I think you can talk to him."
Hearing Liu Xueyan's words, Wu Tong touched his nose and said a little embarrassed.
"I just wrote a framework, and the rest was added by other colleagues."
Xu Rui didn't say anything, and briefly chatted with Wu Tong, and after about half an hour, Wu Tong left first and went back to work overtime.
Only Xu Rui and Liu Xueyan were left in the bar.
"Editor Liu Xueyan, have you made a decision?"
Xu Rui asked in confirmation.
This meeting was set by Liu Xueyan calling Xu Rui, Xu Rui was still a little confused, but after chatting, he quickly knew Liu Xueyan's thoughts.
"The tomato is no longer the tomato it used to be, it may have deteriorated when it developed, but I still prefer the previous tomato, which is not big, but everyone can work together towards a goal."
Liu Xueyan said with emotion that a month has passed since the comic exhibition, and the midsummer of August has not yet ended, but Liu Xueyan feels that his career in tomato should also come to an end.
"I have already submitted my resignation report yesterday, and I will be able to pack up my things and leave from Tomato as soon as next week."
In the past eight years, he never thought that he would find someone to ask for a resignation formalities, but when the day came, it was a little funny.
As soon as the beautiful young lady of personnel saw that Liu Xueyan was in the activity group, she immediately knew that he was here to resign, and in the casual chat, Liu Xueyan learned that most of the activity group was the last place where some abandoned employees stayed, and when she came here, it was actually the company that hinted that you would leave.
Originally, Liu Xueyan signed a non-compete agreement, but through personnel, I learned that after coming to the activity group, this agreement has no great effect, because it means that these people are "useless".
The process of resigning was much easier than Liu Xueyan imagined, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"Wu Tong is a very powerful programmer, very familiar with the architecture of the player, he first made a personal video station from the tomato steal the link, and later it was discovered that the tomato did not ask him to lose money, but recruited him into the company."
Liu Xueyan looked in the direction of the door and explained.
"He didn't go to college, only a college diploma, self-taught, honest and honest, so he suffered a lot in the company, after so many years, his salary is only more than 3,000, and he still lives in a boarding house in the high-tech zone."
"Three thousand?"
Xu Rui was a little surprised, not to mention the architect who developed Tomato's new video player, even if it was an ordinary programmer, the salary could not be only three thousand, and it was reasonable to say that it would be four or five times higher, on the one hand, he wondered why Tomato would give such a low salary to such an important position, and on the other hand, he was also curious why Wu Tong could stay here.
To be reasonable, if he changes jobs, there will be no problem at all with a tenfold increase in salary.
"You know, the salary is upside down, Wu Tong's salary was two thousand when he first came in, which was actually low at that time, but he himself was guilty of joining the company, and he had a college diploma, so he didn't have much say in himself."
Liu Xueyan said, drinking the coffee in the cup.
"When the salary was raised later, Wu Tong couldn't be promoted because of his academic qualifications, Tomato's salary was linked to his rank, and the technical position was up to P10, and a bachelor's degree was required from P3, so for so many years, Wu Tong has always been P2, and P2's salary is so much, about the same level as interns."
After listening to Liu Xueyan's explanation, Xu Rui had a general understanding of Wu Tong's situation.
Wu Tong has been very busy for so many years, working from 9 to 9 every day, working more than six days a week, and has no time to socialize and understand the dynamics of other people in the industry, not to mention taking the university entrance examination on a part-time job, and the low salary has made his life stretched, and more importantly, Wu Tong has always had an inferiority complex, thinking that Tomato did not sue him for charity back then, and he did not dare to have the idea of changing jobs.
"If you want to build a video website, Wu Tong can help you save a lot of money and build a website faster."
Liu Xueyan said, he still uses the word you instead of us, because Liu Xueyan is still considering, he actually has a lot of options now, you can go to other websites that already have a certain scale, so you can also get a good income, he is an old editor, regardless of the level of business, he has a lot of industry resources in his hands, if the major websites know the news of his resignation, they will definitely extend an olive branch.
However, Liu Xueyan himself is very interested in Xu Rui, what kind of storm such a young and talented person will bring to the industry, he wants to witness it for himself.
Xu Rui knew Liu Xueyan's thinking, and he didn't urge, but thought about Wu Tong's matter.
Such a person, although he is a talent, how to get him out of Tomato?
"You don't have to worry about this, Wu Tong's father passed away before, and Tomato Video Network basically didn't give him a few days off to go back to deal with it, Wu Tong has some mustard in his heart, I'll talk to him again, it should be able to make him have the idea of leaving."
Liu Xueyan saw Xu Rui's concerns, and then changed the conversation.
"It's just that even if he leaves, he won't necessarily go to your website, there are many places for people like him, how to let him choose your phantom electricity, is a problem you have to consider."
His words did not only refer to Wu Tong, but also to himself.
Xu Rui nodded, he thought for a moment, and said to Liu Xueyan.
"That's it, when he is sure that he is going to leave, you can help me ask Wu Tong to come out again, I will talk to him about the video website, and you will come with Liu Xueyan when the time comes."
He knew that if he wanted these two experienced people to work for him, he would need to come up with something that other video sites didn't have for the time being.
