Seeing that Lin Ming didn't answer immediately, Peng Chen's face was puzzled.

"Shin Chuan Yuan." Lin Ming was in a hurry and blurted out: "I'm from the New Mission Academy." ”

He remembers that Songda has a School of Journalism and Communication, because this is the major he studied in college, and he knows this major best, and he can just cope with it. If Peng Chen asks himself some questions that belong to this profession, he is not afraid of goofs. Lin Ming didn't know anything about other majors, and he didn't know what specific departments Songda had, so he couldn't talk nonsense.

Peng Chen was surprised: "It is a new mission institute established in March this year, and I remember that it seems to be a journalism major." Now that I have established a new school, I am said to have joined the media major, but I don't know what the media major is and what has become of the major? Is it good to be employed? ”

Lin Ming could only shout lucky, he didn't remember how long Songda's new mission academy was established, but he thought of this on the spur of the moment, and said it head-on, and the result was just such a coincidence. In March this year, the journalism major of Songda established a new school, which incorporated media broadcasting, hosting, choreography, performance and communication into the new school, and formed the School of Journalism and Communication, which allowed Lin Ming to pass the test without arousing Peng Chen's suspicion. Otherwise, as a stranger, suddenly knowing the other person's name and going up to talk, it will obviously make people vigilant. If Peng Chen thinks that he has bad intentions, he will definitely miss an opportunity to make friends with future Internet bigwigs.

"It's okay, media is a major in news media and film and television arts, like those big stars in TV, hosts, reporters, screenwriters, etc., this is the major. I studied choreography and directing, which you can understand as a combination of screenwriter and director, and you have to learn a little bit in all aspects. ”

Talking about his major, Lin Ming talked eloquently, he was also an art major in his last life, and he had mixed in a local TV station and a big film and television company in the capital for a good year, and his knowledge and foundation were not bad, and it was definitely more than enough to fool a layman who didn't know anything.

He continued: "As for employment, if you look at the market in the direction of television and film and television in recent years, you can see that whether it is filming, screenwriting or directing, talents are quite scarce. Especially for talents in photography and editing, because when a movie or TV series is shot and edited, it is very necessary for the cameraman and post-production to have excellent skills in the connection between composition and film, and in the case of the scarcity of good cameramen and post-production, the salary of this industry is quite high. As far as I know, if there is no big problem with the level, if you go to some relatively large film and television companies in the capital to do photography and post-production, you can still get seven or eight thousand a month. ”

In 02, the domestic film and television environment gradually started, and a large amount of funds poured into this circle, making the film and television industry popular. But at that time, there was a shortage of talents in the domestic film and television industry, and there were very few excellent cameramen and post-editing, so that many directors had to be both cameramen and post-production, and the division of labor was not as clear as in later generations.

Like Director Zhang, who has won many international awards, he was born as a cameraman in the early days, and when shooting movies, he not only had to be a director and guest extra, but also often had to carry the camera in person.

It can be seen from this that the salary of talents in this area was high in that era. In fact, even if there is no shortage of excellent camera talent in the future, the salary in this industry is still quite good. A hard-working excellent freelance videographer, one or two hundred thousand a month, is still not much of a problem.

"Is the salary so high?" Peng Chen was surprised at first, and then regretted: "I knew that I applied for journalism at the beginning, but now I don't know what job to find after graduation." During this time, I have been looking for a long time in Cloud City, and I have not been suitable, and I plan to go back to my hometown. ”

As a fresh graduate student who has just graduated, Peng Chen is far from being the extraordinary identity of the CEO of the listed group in later generations, and he does not see much long-term. The problem he is thinking about now is never to start a business, nor to develop any browsers and playback software, but to find a job to support himself.

Peng Chen's words made Lin Ming quite surprised.

He couldn't imagine that 16 years later, the Internet giant, worth tens of billions, when he was 26 years old, was thinking about the problems and troubles, just like a fresh college student, just thinking about how to find a job with a good income and simply support himself.

This is not like what a future boss can say, what is the difference between the current Peng Chen and ordinary unemployed office workers?

But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Ming found it a matter of course.

Because no one is born strong. The big people of the future, a long time ago, can also be very short-sighted, can be very weak, can be very poor. The key is whether you have accumulated a strong foundation and experience for the future when you are weak, and have laid a solid foundation for you to move from nothing to success.

Just like the e-commerce giant Lao Ma was just an ordinary college English teacher in the early years, in order to support his family, he took on a lot of translation jobs to earn extra money, and after working for 6 years, he came up with the idea of starting a business. I used my savings to create a translation agency and hired retired teachers to do translations. But the translation agency was not in a recession, and in order to survive, Lao Ma carried a hemp bag to the coastal city to buy goods, and took back the translation agency to sell flowers and gifts. I also worked as a pharmaceutical salesman for a year, and I did everything from big hospitals to barefoot doctors. But it is precisely because of the experience of going south and north over the years that Lao Ma's horizons have been broadened, so that Lao Ma has entrepreneurial goals and ideas, and knocks on the door to success.

So like Lao Ma, Peng Chen never thought that he would be richer in the future in the early years, and never thought about how successful he would be in the future. As an ordinary working family who was not wealthy, Peng Chen's pressure was actually quite high. So he doesn't care about the development of the Internet now, he only thinks about his work and salary.

And in Cloud City, there is hardly any development in the Internet industry. Not to mention that there are very few network companies in the computer industry, and even if there are, the wages are pitifully low. Not to mention that in this era, even after 16 years, the salary of ordinary programmers in Cloud City is only four or five thousand yuan a month, which is quite hard.

So this is also why Peng Chen experienced going north to the capital in his early years. Because in 02, the country's Internet industry was just starting, and only a few developed coastal cities and capitals had a market for the Internet industry, and the rest of the places had almost no future.

Seeing Peng Chen's face remorseful, and at the same time looking at him with envy, Lin Ming couldn't cry or laugh. Even if the media industry is popular and good for employment in this era, compared with the net worth of tens of billions in the future, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud, and there is no need to envy it at all.

But Lin Ming couldn't tell Peng Chen these words, you can't tell him what will happen to you in the future. Just as he wanted to comfort him, Lin Ming suddenly had an idea and asked, "Senior, are you going back to your hometown?" ”

Peng Chen nodded: "Yes, I asked several in Cloud City, and the salary is only about 800, and I can't even support myself, so I can only go back to my hometown to see, at least there is a house to live in." ”

Peng Chen is still living in a graduate dormitory, but will soon have to move out, which is why he is in a hurry to find a job.

"I know a friend here, their company needs excellent programmers, and the salary is not bad, three or four thousand a month." Lin Ming thought for a while, and added: "Including food and housing, including five insurances and one housing fund, if there is a technological breakthrough, there are also high bonuses and dividends, depending on whether you are interested, I can introduce you to the past." ”

Peng Chen's eyes widened and said, "No, it's really fake." This treatment is not available even for many years of old programmers, and only some large companies in coastal cities can have this treatment. In this place in Cloud City, can ordinary programmers still find this kind of job? ”

"Of course." Lin Ming nodded. Peng Chen, who is a technician like Penguin's boss Brother Pony, used to be a programming engineer in his hometown, and later went north to the capital with the savings given by his parents, recruited a team, and developed two software that were independently developed and had a very good technical level.

In this golden age of the Internet, Lin Ming will naturally not let go of the opportunity to enter this industry, but unfortunately he does not understand technology, if there is an excellent software technician at this time, it will solve many of his problems.

Peng Chen smiled embarrassedly: "If there is really this kind of work, of course I am willing." It's just that the treatment is so good, the requirements will definitely be very high, but I don't know if I can do it. ”

Peng Chen must not be able to ask for this kind of good thing, although he is the winner of the special prize of the National Computer Application Level Competition, whether it is the level of software application or programming, there is not much problem, but if it involves the field of computer security and invasion, he is a little blind, so there is such a worry.

The so-called security field and intrusion field are commonly known as red customers and hackers, many people think that programmers must be able to hack technology, but in fact, these two are two completely different fields. Programming is a programmer through the C language to write computer program software, we usually use the computer software, is the computer programmer through the specific C language issued by the system instructions to aggregate an application item, its role is to bring you some specific uses. For example, if a programmer writes a player, its functions will be different according to the different language commands of the player, resulting in different practical application effects.

But Reds are different from hackers, although they also need to be able to edit programs to achieve offensive or defensive purposes. However, this involves a wider range of areas, and there are many requirements and needs. So a good hacker must be a good programming engineer, but a programming engineer doesn't have to be a hacker.

"It's supposed to be some programming work, and it's not too demanding." Lin Ming waved his hand and said: "I heard them say that they want to make a website, I don't know the website, I don't know if you can do it, if you can, I will recommend you to them." ”

"Website." Peng Chen groaned: "This... It depends on what kind of website they do, I can do BBS with a simple general section, and if it is a large website with a complex one, it may require a team. ”

It's not that simple to make a website, we thought it was all a website, and the cost should be about the same. In fact, the most inferior website is not only simple in structure, but also has almost no content, and even the speed of opening is very, very slow. The top website may even have to invest tens of millions of dollars a year to maintain, and it needs a lot of programmers.

It's actually a very naïve idea to think about making a website like Lin Ming without any experience, after all, he lived to be 30 years old in his last life, and like most netizens, he has almost no understanding of programming except for the Internet, and it's normal not to know. However, Lin Ming still has a considerable advantage, that is, he knows the future development trend of the network when he is reborn, like since last year, Lao Chen's legendary games have become popular on the game network, and it is at this time that Lin Ming and Bajjö go to the Internet café every day to get in touch with these things. In the early years, I also played Interstellar and Red Alert, and I will play domestic games all the way to the future for a long time, experiencing the changes of the times of the entire network.

In other words, Lin Ming almost watched how our country's Internet went from nothing step by step to covering the whole country and spreading to the whole world. The Internet is not only the development trend of the times, but also an important criterion for whether a country is strong or not, and a manifestation of the comprehensive improvement of national strength.

When we look at it, we can't just stare at online games and the ever-changing technology. It's about seeing what the Internet has brought to our country and what makes it so powerful.

As for online games, they are always incidental products.
