Chapter 5: An Unbearable Career
Compared with Ouyang Changzhi, Roland has a more difficult career.
When he graduated from college, due to the innocent loss of his graduation project, Roland didn't even get his graduation certificate.
At the beginning, Sun Wu, the senior in college, threw an olive branch to Roland and invited him to work in his company, but Roland politely refused.
Although the eldest grandson Wu is his fellow senior, he is also the lover of his college friend Ouyang Dan, so he always has to avoid suspicion. What's more, the eldest grandson Wu chased after him before.
After rejecting the kindness of the eldest grandson, Roland, who did not get his graduation certificate, could only choose some small companies that did not enter the stream. Within two years of graduating from college, I changed jobs three times.
The first job was when I interviewed many companies and said that they didn't want fresh graduates, and I happened to search for a "Cyber Hero Recruitment Order" on the Internet! >> Job Advertisement:

Looking at this demagogic job advertisement, Roland, who only wanted to succeed immediately, make money immediately, and reach the peak of his life immediately, immediately took out his phone.
When I entered this company, I found out that this was a company that was actually engaged in the deletion of posts in the name of online public relations. Together with the boss and the boss's wife, there are only five people in the entire company.
Although the company is small and has few employees, it has a lot of income. There are so many business needs in this area, and the customers can be businesses, institutions, or individuals. In the case of enterprises or organizations, the main thing is to deal with the negative information of their own organization or products. In the case of individuals, the scope is even broader: there are corrupt and bribe-takers who have been reported and want to delete the reported information; There are celebrities who want to delete their previous unbearable photos after becoming famous; There are village tyrant secretaries who have been reported by villagers who want to delete the fact that they have bullied the people; There is a ...... of being reported for wanting to clear one's name after inserting someone else's marriage Roland even took over such a business, and a child spent thousands of yuan, and even just asked to delete a post by a netizen abusing a Korean star, which made Roland smack.
The price of deleting a post also ranges, 1000 yuan, 1800 yuan, 2000 yuan or even more expensive, mainly according to the difficulty of deleting posts, the number of deleted posts, and the different degrees of customer cooperation.
With a deeper understanding, Roland learned that in addition to receiving the list of deletion posts, his black-hearted boss actually built his own website, in the name of the so-called "upholding justice", specially searched for all kinds of negative information on the Internet for publishing, and then left the so-called website editor contact information at the bottom of the website, guarding self-theft, waiting for the rabbit, and waiting for the company or the party concerned to take the initiative to come to the door, and extort hundreds to thousands of yuan for deleting posts.
According to Roland's incomplete statistics, there are at least ten websites built by the boss, all of which are named after names such as "Exposure Network", "Reporting Center", "Quality and Safety Network", "Integrity Network", "Liar Exposure", "315", etc.
At that time, Roland, who had just mixed up with society, still had a bit of a social conscience, and not long after doing it, he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, so he signed a peer employment restriction agreement with the black-hearted boss and resigned voluntarily.
Fortunately, there was still a bit of social conscience at the beginning, and it didn't take long for Roland to see on the news that this company was reported by a formal company that suffered from false and negative information because it was too rampant.
The court publicly pronounced the verdict, and the defendant's boss and his wife and former colleagues were sentenced to 2 years in prison with a 3-year suspension for the crime of illegally controlling computer information systems, deleting a total of 26 posts and making illegal profits totaling 4,300 yuan.
Roland looked at it and laughed, 4,300 yuan, a single order is more than this price.
The second job, which is done for a shorter period of time.
After resigning impulsively, Roland came out and found that it was really difficult to find a job, and his confidence was not as firm as before, and he interviewed many places, all of which were high or low, and finally came to a factory that wanted to enter the Internet, and applied for a job in web design, with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan.
The second boss used to do TV shopping, and after making a lot of money, I heard that the Internet is the future, and TV shopping is becoming more and more unmarketable, so he caught up with the fashion and started an Internet business.
Although it is the Internet, it is actually an online mall, specializing in selling the products of the previous TV shopping. On this amazing website, the products are also magical: there are facial cleansers that can turn white immediately after just one use; There are magic mops that can drag off dust, hair and everything; If it is useful, it can make people change from 1.6 meters to 1.8 meters of height enhancement instrument; There is a massager that can press rheumatism, cervical spondylosis, and various incurable diseases...... It covers a variety of commodities such as personal care and makeup, health care, clothing, shoes and hats, digital home appliances, household daily necessities, automotive supplies, jewelry, etc., covering almost all aspects of life.
Roland's job is to make these magical products into a single landing page and do bidding promotion on the Internet.
The salary is not high, but the difficulty of the work is not small at all, and the main difficulty comes from the company's promotion department's unclear purpose and uncertain modification needs.
In the teamwork with the promotion department, Roland felt that he was a hard-working Party B, and the promotion department was the high Party A.
The website page is too big, change!
Website images are missing alt descriptions, change!
Lack of a membership system to attract repeat customers, change!
The website lacks a complete system of accurate data analysis.
The product webpage lacks keyword tags and content introduction tags, change!
Basic functions such as comments, station messages, communities, and activity systems are not perfect, so change!
Lack of one-yuan auction, daily spike, group buying, video inspection and other customer attraction modules, change!
Whether it is SEO optimization, product display, functional requirements, shopping convenience and smoothness, ease of operation, user experience...... It's all about changing and changing!
In order to ensure that he was not tortured to death by the promotion department, Roland simply found a third job and became the long-awaited "Party A".
When I really did the promotion, I found that the promotion work was actually not easy to do, the competition was large, the traffic was mixed, the crowd was scattered, and the boss was always Sister Feng's budget, but she thought about Fan Bingbing so beautiful all day long.
Auction promotion? A few dollars a click, too expensive!
Weibo big V? Thousands of forwards, too pit!
Newspaper ads? Thousands to tens of thousands of offers, can't afford it!
TV commercials? Hundreds of thousands, it's a robbery!
So, under the guidance of the boss's baton of "all promotion is only free", Roland keeps doing SEO pages every day, keeps submitting to major search engines, keeps exchanging links, keeps updating Weibo public accounts and self-media, keeps asking and answering questions in Baidu Q&A, and keeps sending mass messages to QQ, WeChat and mailboxes......
I feel that I am engaged in a lot of manual work.
However, in the end, the reason why Roland made up his mind to resign was not because of this physical work, but because of a meeting!
Not daring to express in public, not wanting to express in public, and not being good at expressing in public seems to have become the common characteristics of many Internet practitioners nowadays.
However, this new boss with deep pockets didn't expect that he liked to have meetings and could cause trouble to his subordinates, and a small meeting every two days and a general meeting every three days became a regular activity of the company.
Roland complained about the endless meeting in front of Ouyang Changzhi, and it happened that Ouyang Changzhi mentioned that he had friends who took orders online, worked freely, and earned a lot of income, so he said: "It's better for you to take orders online and do it yourself." ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
When Roland heard this, he immediately said yes, so Ouyang Changzhi asked his friend to pull Roland into this circle.
Since Roland went it alone, the lives of the two have changed dramatically, and although what they are doing now is not yet a career, it can make them find their place. In this position, Roland can enjoy the sweat of hard work, can interpret professional advantages and wisdom, can taste the joy of success and making money, can become passionate and brave, calm and confident, calm and fearless.
Struggle, only struggle, is the bone in a woman's spirit, enough to support the dignity and backbone of a lifetime.
Only in this way will he not be like his mother Lan Xiaoyun.
