The 2002 Annual Heart-Piercing Divine Comedy was released two days later, and Lin Ming originally wanted to go down and edit it himself.

But he doesn't know how to operate the editing software of this era, not only the pages are complex, but also all of them are English versions, and the PR that was widely used in major TV stations and film and television editing in later generations came out with a 6.0 version last year, but unfortunately this ancient version is too difficult to operate, Lin Ming really can't do it, so he can only let others cut it.

However, although I can't edit it myself, it's not much of a problem to stand in the back and guide it. According to Lin Ming's original idea, the editor only spent an afternoon editing the complete MV, and after the music was matched, the effect was gratifying.

This song is regarded as an entertainment game for Lin Ming and his friends to play tickets, during the two days of the holiday, they are basically looking for Enron to make up classes during the day, and they go to the company to record songs with their friends in the afternoon.

Two or three days have passed in a flash, and the school is about to start. In June, the senior sister of high school has left school, but the students of the first and second years of high school still have to study. The school was much emptier, and with the end of the college entrance examination, the tense atmosphere eased. After the start of school, Lin Ming devoted more time to work.

Mainly Peng Chen's piece.

The company has placed its network department on the 14th floor, which is frequented by the company's artists, with a spacious dance studio, rehearsal room, and lounge. Because the offices of the company's top executives were on the twelfth floor, Lin Ming had hardly gone up, and until now, he had not met Peng Chen.

However, it is impossible for him to let Peng Chenguang take his salary and not do things, so he has been using the director of the marketing department, the superior of the network department, to remotely command the director. Nowadays, the company is also a large company, and the company's functions and powers are very finely divided, and there are about four stages. The four bosses are the first class in the company, at the top of the company, and are the decision-makers of the company. The second is the marketing department, administration department, sales department, personnel department (led by Hou Wenhui), music production department (led by Liang Xiaoyue), finance office (under the jurisdiction of Zhao Bin) and various leadership directors of the artist management team. They belong to the second class, and the director of the music production department is Lin Ming.

The artist management team is separate from the company, and they are under the direct supervision of the four bosses, with their own makeup department, shooting department, costume department, and so on. The usual range of activities is also different from that of ordinary employees of the company, except for the artist who goes downstairs to record songs, there is basically not much communication between the two sides.

However, don't look at the artist team rarely activities within the company, but they are the core of the company, so they have to spend a lot of money on this every month, which is close to the salary of all employees of the company. This is also the reason why it is said that raising these artists is very expensive.

This is still in 02, and the company's artists are not big stars. In the future, this cost will be absolutely astronomical.

As for Peng Chen's department, it belongs to the network department under the jurisdiction of the marketing department, and the boss of the department is the supervisor. That is, Peng Chen's current position is in the third class, which can be regarded as a middle-level leader. He is only responsible for the director and boss above, and he has a bit of power in his own department.

Of course, Peng Chen's department is quite pitiful, and now there are two or three kittens, even if they want to play in their own territory, they don't have to play. Peng Chen's job at work every day is to carry out Coding, commonly known as writing code. In the first two days of coming to work, he was relatively idle, and there was no task at the top, so Peng Chen entertained himself in the office and played with his own computer and tried to write some small programs. It wasn't until he was asked to design a company web page and gave him the permission to recruit two subordinates, and he carefully carried out web design during this time. Web design and web programming are two different concepts, just like one is to draw a picture on a construction site, and the other is to turn a picture into a high-rise building.

If Peng Chen had to choose, he would think that web design would be more difficult. Because as long as there is a ready-made draft, the time to write the program code is very fast. It's like if you take a picture and copy it and draw on your imagination on a blank piece of paper, the difficulty is naturally not on a level.

So in the past few days, the three employees of the web department have spent their time on web design, its functions, sections, specific content, and so on. According to Lin Ming's idea, he only needed the homepage of an ordinary music company, but Peng Chen almost came up with a music playback website, which surprised Lin Ming, who got the news.

Lin Ming took leave to go to the company on the afternoon of the first day of high school on June 11, and held a brief meeting with Liang Xiaoyue and Hou Wenhui to learn about the sales of "My Sky", and began to focus on creating the five new albums that will be released in July. suddenly remembered Peng Chen's.

He wondered why it took so long to design a web page, because logically speaking, the homepage of a company's website only needs to put the company's introduction and some business on it, and show the viewer the company's current scale and environment, at most, to get some pictures of corporate culture, business background and so on. It should be done quickly, and it doesn't make sense to take that long. So Lin Ming asked Liang Xiaoyue about Peng Chen's situation, but he didn't expect Liang Xiaoyue to tell him that Peng Chen is now doing the forum section of the company's website, and is also presiding over the research and development of music playback functions, music review functions, music search functions, etc., which made Lin Ming cry and laugh.

If Peng Chen put the things he had conceived before on the official website of Taomu Company, then he would still make a fart music payment website, and directly let Taomu Company take advantage of this.

Lin Ming asked for the details with a smile.

It turned out that Peng Chen reported to the director of the marketing department a few days ago, and felt that the company's homepage was too monotonous, and wanted to add something to the company's website. Director Xiang didn't know much about the Internet, and he didn't really want to care about this kind of thing, he knew that Peng Chen came in through the back door, the relationship was very hard, and he didn't deliberately make things difficult, so he told him to just do it according to his ideas. So Peng Chen had this sword of Shang Fang, and he added all his ideas to it in one go, turning the homepage of Taomu Company into a comprehensive website integrating music news, music forums, music playback, etc., and will also add the function of concert ticket sales in the future.....

Lin Ming, who heard the news, didn't know what to say..... Maybe that's why people will become Internet bigwigs in later generations, and ordinary code farmers can only be hard code farmers for the rest of their lives......

There was no way, Lin Ming could only go upstairs with Liang Xiaoyue and stop this matter.

Don't look at the more than 100 employees and artists in Taomu Company, but in fact, the whole company is very large and empty. Because the Taomu Company rents a Grade A office building, the first floor is 1,152 square meters, and the third floor is 3,456 square meters, which is more than enough to accommodate the total number of more than 100 people.

Therefore, the office area of the network department is still quite large, about 40 m2, which was originally converted from a dance studio, and there are rest rooms and toilets in it, but the rest room has been converted into Peng Chen's supervisor's office.

When Lin Ming and Liang Xiaoyue came in, they saw that there were two long desks inside, and the computers on them were quite complete, but unfortunately there were only two office staff. I'm immersed in programming inside, because the door is open, and the programmers inside didn't notice when the two people went in, and the work attitude was good.

"Knock knock! ~”

Lin Ming knocked on the door, and the two programmers both raised their heads, and one of them asked suspiciously, "May I ask who you are looking for?" ”

The network department is the most remote department of the company, and there are basically no people coming over to it. Moreover, the two low-level programmers have never even met the two senior executives of the company, so it is normal not to know them.

"Where's Director Peng?"

"The director is in the office."

"Hmm."

Lin Ming and Liang Xiaoyue walked straight to the office inside.

The two programmers looked at each other, and Lin Ming looked too young, like a high school student, so he wanted to stop him. But the general tone of the two orders made them hesitate a little, for fear that they would be the leaders of the company.

Soon, they were a little glad they didn't stop it. Because after the door opened, Peng Chen saw Liang Xiaoyue and immediately shouted: "Mr. Liang." ”

After the two people entered, the two programmers exhaled lightly, and quickly lowered their heads and continued programming.

"Mr. Liang, why don't you notify you when you come over?" Peng Chen trotted all the way to the water dispenser to fetch water and pour water for the two of them to drink, and when he saw Lin Ming and smiled, "And junior brother, why did you come here too." ”

"Senior, tell you something." Lin Ming decided to make up another lie: "I told you before that this is a friend's company, but in fact, my family also has a little stake in this company, and my family arranged for me to come to Taomu to be a director, so strictly speaking, I am also one of the bosses of this company." ”

"I see."

Peng Chen was a little stunned by the change in his junior brother's identity, but he quickly came to his senses, and showed respect to Lin Ming's waist a little bent, while joking: "It seems that I will have to call you Mr. Lin in the future." ”

Who says programmers have low emotional intelligence? This is completely based on personal character, college is actually a small society, if you can excel in it and become a top student in the eyes of the counselor, it means that at least your emotional intelligence will definitely not be too low, Peng Chen is a good proof of this. As a senior's status, it must be above the junior, but the junior suddenly becomes your boss, so the identity change will have a transition period for ordinary people, and it may not be acceptable in a short period of time. But Peng Chen changed quickly, and immediately regarded himself as a subordinate, instead of pretending to be a senior there. If such a person does not come out in the future, it is simply intolerable.

Lin Ming didn't expect Peng Chen to be able to adapt to his career so quickly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm actually just a decoration in the company, and now I'm in charge of your department." In the future, we may have to communicate more, you can call me junior brother or Lin Ming, and I will call you Brother Chen. ”

Decoration?

Hearing Lin Ming's words, Liang Xiaoyue twitched the corners of his mouth.

Can furnishings make dozens of high-quality music? Can furnishings order companies to spend millions of dollars on advertising? Today's post-80s young people are really, they don't even play scratch paper when they lie, how can they be like our era, if they brag a little, they have to blush for a long time.

"That's what you do, whatever you want." Peng Chen waved his hand: "A company must have company rules, if you are the boss, you should be Mr. Lin, how can you mess up your identity." ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, I'll call you Brother Chen in the future anyway."

Lin Ming said with a smile: "Brother Chen, I came here like this today, about the homepage of the company's website, just make a simple introduction to the company's content." If it is operated like you, the company will have to buy a large server, and for the time being, the company will not withdraw funds to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to operate, so come and inform you. ”

"Huh?"

Peng Chen said with some pity: "But I've done most of it......"

Lin Ming and Liang Xiaoyue glanced at each other, Liang Xiaoyue and Hou Wenhui didn't care about the Internet, and they brought Peng Chen over for Lin Ming's sake. Therefore, they are not very interested in running a music playback website, because as far as they know, a large server needs to spend at least 200,000 yuan to configure.

This is just the price of buying a more general server equipment, which is divided into a server cluster composed of about 3000-10,000 yuan of independent servers, and each machine may be updated due to damage, which will include later maintenance costs.

Therefore, 200,000 is not too little, Brother Xiao Ma did not buy his own server back then, but rented someone else's server with 500,000 to host and run, but because of the geometric growth of users, the penguin was almost on the verge of collapse, and the high server hosting costs and user maintenance costs made Brother Xiao Ma almost sell the penguin several times. Because it was very expensive to build a server in those days, Peachwood itself was a music company rather than an Internet company. So even Zhao Bin, who has done the biggest business and has a great business vision, is not very optimistic about this aspect. Taomu Company does not want to make a comprehensive website to operate, so Peng Chen's idea can only be wasted.

But.

Lin Ming had already considered this aspect for a long time, and he smiled: "Don't worry, the company doesn't do this thing, I'll do it myself." After a while, I will register a company on my own and buy a dedicated server to operate. So Brother Chen, whether it's the company's homepage or the website, you do it first, and then talk about it later. ”

Peng Chen nodded helplessly and said, "Okay." He is quite satisfied with the Taomu company, the company is large and well-funded (a company with millions of liquidity in 02 is a really strong enterprise), and the key is that few people restrain themselves.

So he didn't agree with Lin Ming's statement, but there was no way, who made the family the boss? What the boss says, the subordinates do.

After arranging things on Peng Chen's side, Lin Ming chatted with him for a while before leaving with Liang Xiaoyue.

After coming out of the company, Lin Ming took a taxi home.

Now his life is very regular, three points and one line. School, company, home. I don't spend much time in the company every day, usually only a few hours. The reason why I asked for leave today is because I want to talk to Hou Wenhui and Liang Xiaoyue about the proposal of deploying an advertising department, otherwise, he would not have come to the company in the afternoon.

As a person who was reborn in 2018, Lin Ming is well aware of the importance of an advertising department. Not to mention anything else, if the company had a mature advertising operation, when promoting "My Sky" before, there would be no need to make so much effort to pull contacts everywhere to find relationships, and there would be nowhere to spend money.

A well-established entertainment company, marketing and promotion of works is a very important thing. Not only music, but also movies, without overwhelming advertising, how will the audience know that you have a good song or a good movie on the market. High-quality movies that were not applauded by later generations are not uncommon at the box office. When the audience wants to go to the cinema to watch the movie because of the good word-of-mouth, but it is removed from the shelves because the viewing time has passed early, there are countless examples of this. Therefore, since Lin Ming is now one of the bosses of Taomu, he has to let the other partners of Taomu recognize the importance of product promotion, and after the last incident, they also understand this truth, so they are now already organizing and preparing for this department. The advertising department is not engaged in advertising planning, but to expand the company's publicity channels. This is generally called the public relations department or the marketing department in later generations, but the meaning is almost the same, as long as its role can be reflected, it doesn't matter what it is called, maintaining a good channel is a good department.

After the matter was finished at the three-person meeting, Hou Wenhui contacted Zhao Bin, the largest shareholder, and began to promote the matter. Lin Ming went home to find An Ran.

An Ran is now Lin Ming's tutor.

Before Lin Ming officially went on summer vacation and found two senior teachers, Chen Zeying and Zhou Chuxiong, to make up classes, he was learning some basic things from An Ran. In order to study more comprehensively, and in order not to let people gossip, he also recruited Liu He and Zhang Shaoan to help.

Liu He's biology level is not bad, he can tutor biology. Needless to say, Zhang Shaoan's mathematics level is several grades stronger than An Ran, and he won the gold medal in the National Olympiad. It's a pity that Zhou Yunkai has to go to the Public Security Department every day after class, and his interest is in indulging in some treacherous cases, rather than studying, so he politely declined Lin Ming's request.

Every afternoon, the four of them learn from each other on the stone benches in the courtyard. At first, Zhao Hao, Huang Anwen, Fan Lei, and they would also come over to take a look, but it was boring to watch for a long time, this group of people didn't like to study, and they didn't understand the fun of learning, so they followed Sun Yifei to the basketball court in the yard to play basketball.

The days went by, and soon it was late June.
