Chapter 34: Take-it-or-leave-it

The joke Gao Youping said was indeed a joke, but it was also the bitter tears of many programmed apes.

In Qingyun's view, this joke is basically most of the problems that customers can encounter in the whole process of product development.

In the middle, there are not only the strange requirements and whimsical ideas of customers, but also the chaos caused by marketing personnel who do not understand technology.

He also heard what Gao Youping meant, in fact, the marketing staff knew a little bit about technology, and they could avoid a lot of trouble.

Gao Youping shrugged his shoulders, "The above is just an exaggerated analogy, and I have taken it to the extreme.

But the sad chef inside is indeed the current situation of technicians.

Mr. Xiaoqing, where do we talk. ”

Qingyun nodded with a smile, "The reason why I invited you to the lounge is that I want to use this brainstorming style to let everyone express their views on the future development of the company."

So, Mr. Gao, don't care what the topic is, talk more about your opinions, which is very helpful for me to sort out my own thinking and the future development of Yanhuang Group. ”

Gao Youping took a deep look at the young man in front of him, and then let out a long sigh, "Mr. Xiaoqing, why didn't you show up earlier!" ”

Compared with the marketing personnel who understand technology, in fact, for technical personnel, such a corporal is really hard to find.

With that, he covered his face with his hands, rubbed vigorously, and continued,

"In addition to the fact that the company position of the technical staff needs to be improved.

In fact, I think that there is also a drawback in the management of the domestic software industry, the front and back end of software development are too separated, which is not only a TOP problem, but also a problem for all domestic enterprises.

Good marketers in reality...... Actually, I prefer to call it a product manager, according to the foreign company.

A good product manager should have a very complete long-term and short-term plan for a project.

With this kind of planning, there will be no random transfer of certain functions, and the people in the project team will know more about the project.

A good product manager should also understand data and technology, at least communicate on the same channel, and it is convenient for each other to convince each other with facts.

Finally, I think a good product manager should know how to coordinate and communicate, rather than being authoritarian or flattering to the customer.

The requirements that can be realized, we will achieve, the requirements that cannot be realized, we try to exhaust our ability, but the requirements that are completely impossible, the product manager must have a spectrum in his heart, and he must know how to refuse.

So, Mr. Xiaoqing, I personally really suggest, TOP ...... Oh, no, Yanhuang Group, the product manager in the future, can have a certain proportion of selection from technical personnel, not only market sensitivity, but also tolerance and understanding of technology.

Technologists aren't just tools for writing code.

To this day, I still remember what Song Ruhua said before we left our job, he said, 'I can sell a tree for 5,000 yuan a year, but what does feeding a technician bring me?' ’

In his opinion, all orders are run out by marketing personnel, and technicians just realize the orders they get back according to demand.

However, Mr. Xiaoqing, it is not only the people who run the market who make money for the company, but also the technicians who realize the software.

Without the code we write, where would there be the implementation of software features?

Writing code is not something that a so-called secondary school student can achieve! It is a knowledge industry with high threshold requirements, and Song Ruhua is completely playing the piano! ”

Seeing that Gao Youping was emotional, Yan Kaiyuan on the side pulled him, and then said,

"Mr. Xiaoqing, what Lao Gao said is actually right. To tell you the truth, I am currently engaged in the development of a telecommunications industry project in my design institute, and 11 out of 12 people in my team are from TOP.

At the end of 2001, I resigned from TOP, and at the beginning of 2002, I was the main author of the business and technical specifications of the engineering project management information system for Huaguo Telecom Group Corporation.

In 2002, we developed software products in accordance with this specification for the design institute to get more than 17 million contracts, and the products were directly put into use in 12 provincial companies in the south of Telecom, and at the same time, three provincial companies of the industry were put into use.

From software development to marketing, there is no so-called management involved, and there is no so-called marketing personnel, everything is based on 12 of us.

Let's ask, why did we, the technicians who didn't make money in Boss Song's mouth, leave TOP and suddenly learn to make money?

It's not like that, it's a matter of mechanism.

Therefore, if you are willing to make large-scale adjustments to the software institute, please be sure to consider the voice of the technical staff. ”

Qingyun nodded, "I understand your opinion."

Let's start at the beginning.

I see the issue of the company's remuneration for technical personnel.

A good company should give new employees a good and relaxed space for growth, if it comes up, it is a high salary, which is not conducive to the development of employees and the company.

In the future, in Yanhuang Group, the salary of the new employee must be the average salary level in the industry, which will not be lower than the average, and will never be high.

However, the promotion mechanism will be significantly adjusted.

To put it simply, I'm going to re-open a sequence outside of my position, which is rank.

This not only allows technical personnel to have room for salary promotion, but also allows technical personnel to improve their voice in the company.

That's what I think, professional matters, ranks, management matters, and positions have the final say.

Don't look at me like this, this method is actually not trendy at all, and factories like Compal Wistron and Foxconn are using it.

Of course, if a rank system is established, then a relatively strict evaluation system will be established accordingly.

Those who are capable go up, and those who are mediocre go down.

While ensuring that technical personnel will have a stable development regardless of rank or salary level, they also put an end to the situation of sleeping on the merit book. ”

Qingyun didn't feel any pressure when she talked about this.

The set of the later generations of big factories is actually very scientific, and it can be used directly.

Fang Yuan and the others glanced at each other a few times, and they all saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Especially Fang Yuan, he loves technology, and he doesn't like management at all.

But there is a good wife in the family, and he is always forced to be motivated, and from time to time he will say which best friend's husband has become a supervisor, and whose husband has been promoted.

It's not that his wife dislikes him, this is just the trivial chatter of husband and wife.

But the psychological pressure on Fang Yuan himself was not ordinarily large.

Now, with the road to rank promotion, not only will the income increase, but the wife will go out to chat with her girlfriends, and there is no need to say that her husband is a code farmer.
