Yenching Electric Power University is less than an hour's walk from Baidu headquarters, and it takes ten minutes by taxi.

Therefore, Meng Fanqi was not in a hurry, but first continued to communicate with Han Ci about the angle of PPT and speech.

After about forty or fifty minutes, the content was basically done.

Meng Fanqi had to sigh that a smart person is a smart person. Even if you are not familiar with the field, you can quickly understand the logic and ideas of the other party.

In the past forty or fifty minutes, about half of the time was spent by Meng Fanqi telling what kind of context his PPT in front of him was.

The reason why I did this was because I wanted to show and compare something.

Han Ci basically understood as soon as he heard it, and Meng Fanqi often wondered if he really needed to finish speaking.

In the next twenty minutes or so, Han Ci asked Meng Fanqi to confirm some questions and details, and then quickly explained his content and logic.

Meng Fanqi thought about it very carefully, and couldn't find any problems, so he had to give up.

Returning to Han Ci, who was familiar with the rhythm, he was proud, he was in a good mood, and he felt that his IQ had occupied the high ground again.

She has always been a little afraid of trouble, and she often can't lift up most things, but today she even thinks it's quite interesting to go to the Baidu headquarters. The two decided to go together and have a meal together when the matter on Baidu's side was over.

After all, the distance is not close to the North Fifth Ring Road, so since we have met, let's talk more and make things clear.

sent a message to communicate, and Baidu's reply was very fast, and the two of them were ready to go over now.

"Speaking of which, I've never been to a big company like Baidu." Han Ci is still a little curious about the office buildings of technology giants, "Watching film and television dramas, this kind of large enterprise always has the feeling of being crowded but orderly. ”

"This is your wishful thinking, we always want things to be orderly, and we have been selectively forgetting or ignoring, and the more people there are, the more chaotic it will be."

Meng Fanqi said that this was naturally his own experience of turning around in large factories several times, "On the surface, it looks orderly, but in fact it is full of headless flies." Of course, the company's top management doesn't really care that much, or they don't have the energy to care.

Who knows, as long as the employees below are busy all day long, fighting all night, they will be satisfied. ”

Even during this period, around 2013-2014, American giants such as Google began to allow some degree of work from home or more flexible work schedules.

In Google's letter of intent to Meng Fanqi, it was even more special, completely giving him the freedom to read and start a business.

It's just that the reporting of research results needs to be on time, and the number of research results has certain indicators.

To put it bluntly, this is what everyone often talks about in the OKR management method, which only focuses on whether your tasks and key indicators have been completed. For your specific schedule and way of working, not to interfere too much is a more humane management tool.

However, according to the experience of Meng Fanqi's large factories two or three times, until 2023, the management methods of Internet companies in China still pay great attention to overtime and imprisonment.

"In fact, the most terrifying thing is the kind of people who don't have their own lives, if it is understandable that capitalists and company executives like to watch employees work overtime.

Employees have no hobbies, no interests, no things they want to do, and no future life plans. If you are not in the company, you have nothing to do and no place to go, so you go to jail in the company all day long, which induces involution, which is the saddest thing. ”

This kind of colleague Meng Fanqi encountered not one or two, some of them were malicious involution, and some of them were not malicious.

He also visited the residence of one or two of the elder brothers, often a small cubicle in their early 12,000s, or a snail dwelling of about 20 square meters.

There is basically nothing in it except for simple bedding and clothes.

Ingredients and kitchenware, basically zero. Furniture, everything is simple.

There was even an old brother who didn't even have a second chair for entertaining Meng Fanqi, so he had to temporarily find a cardboard box to use.

In this way, Meng Fanqi can actually understand why they always stay in the company.

Whether it's free water and electricity, company catering, insulation, or even snacks and the Internet, everything is much more comfortable than the rental house at home.

If you can circle five square meters in the company, Meng Fanqi has no doubt that these people are even willing to live in the company directly.

Meng Fanqi changed his perspective and told Han Ci about these things, and after Han Ci listened, he stopped talking twice.

For her, who is pampered and has grown up smoothly all the way, this kind of extremely scarce spiritual world and material conditions are unimaginable.

Meng Fanqi smiled, opened the door of the taxi black car and let Han Ci get in the car. "You may think they are very pitiful when you hear this, but when you think about it, during the period of the rise of Baidu Penguin and Ahri, how many people took the express train of the Internet and achieved financial freedom. After several years of hard work, I have changed two suites in first-tier cities. ”

"How many other industries in our country are more difficult, coal mining, metallurgy, engineering, civil engineering, etc., etc. What is the hard work of programmers compared to them? But all of this suffering is only worth when it is seen. ”

"Words are rights." This sentence summed up by Han Ci is one of the strongest metaphors that the French philosopher Foucault contributed to the world in his inaugural lecture "The Order of Discourse", and it is also one of the most powerful philosophical propositions.

This proposition sees discourse as a powerful social force that dominates and enslaves the subject of social practice. Foucault defined this power as "power", from which he came to a famous philosophical proposition: words are power.

"This phenomenon is especially acute in the era of the Internet, I personally feel that since the Iphone4s, our Internet has begun to move from the PC to the mobile phone. In the years to come, the Internet will continue to decline along with mobile devices until the vast majority of the population has access to smartphones. ”

Han Ci took out her Iphone5s silver model and looked at it, she did love her new Apple phone, but she really never thought carefully about what kind of impact it would have on society and the world.

"But mobile payment is really convenient, and I basically don't have any change with me now." In 2013, Ahri strongly promoted mobile payment and Internet finance, which has imperceptibly affected the consumption habits of hundreds of millions of people.

"What I'm going to show now is also an algorithm technology specifically for mobile phones and other mobile terminals, mainly to detect which objects are in the captured images."

After talking so much, Meng Fanqi remembered that he hadn't told Han Ci what he was going to do in a while.
