Chapter 227 Team Building
Huang Xiaodong and Liu Jianfeng watched Qin Shaoyan drive away in Wuling Hongguang and stood there looking at each other.
Liu Jianfeng asked in confusion: "What does Qin Shaoyan mean? Why is he contacting us in a few days?"
Huang Xiaodong thought for a while, "I heard someone from Blizzard mentioned Qin Shaoyan, Jin When the Keyboard Awards selected the Best Online Game Award, Qin Shaoyan took the initiative to nominate "World of Warcraft" and later voted in favor."
"From this point of view, Qin Shaoyan is quite fond of the game "World of Warcraft". Have a good impression.”
Liu Jianfeng's eyes lit up, "You mean...Qin Shaoyan can help us intercede?"
"It's hard to say." Huang Xiaodong has never dealt with Qin Shaoyan, so naturally he doesn't dare to brag, "But from now on Judging from his attitude towards us just now, he was quite enthusiastic."
Liu Jianfeng said with some doubts: "Didn't he say that Qin Shaoyan has been planning to attack the national server project of "World of Warcraft"? What kind of conspiracy?"
Huang Xiaodong said disdainfully, "Do you believe the gossip spread by Shanda?"
"Qin Shaoyan specializes in stand-alone games, and even online games are FPS. Not the same type, why are we sniping?”
"Anyway, Qin Shaoyan is very well-connected in the domestic and foreign game industries, so it's a good idea to have a good relationship with him."
Liu Jianfeng nodded, "Well, it can be seen that he has a relationship with Director Chen Not bad."
Huang Xiaodong also felt that it would be ineffective to go directly to Chen Peng, so he decided decisively, "Then we will stay in the capital for two days and go directly to Qin Shaoyan after the holiday."
The two turned and entered the subway station, while Qin Shaoyan drove slowly down the road.
As a veteran driver for many years, it is still no problem to drive. The main reason is that Qin Shaoyan does not know the road.
Now there is no car navigation or smartphone map, so Qin Shaoyan has to stop from time to time to ask for directions.
After driving for nearly an hour, Qin Shaoyan found the location of the company's annual meeting.
Most of the company's employees have arrived, and everyone is sitting around the table, eating melon seeds and snacks and chatting.
They are all a group of young people who have just graduated from school and entered the society. They are excited and novel about activities like the annual meeting mixed with expectations.
After a few more years of classes, the only thing I can expect from the annual meeting is the lottery.
Qin Shaoyan greeted the employees cordially, walked to the table in the front row, and sat down next to Zhang Pingyi, Chen Guangxia and other senior executives.
"Has the show started?"
"You came just in time, the curtain has just been announced." Zhang Pingyi glanced at Qin Shaoyan, "Did you just get up? Where did you go last night? ""
"Chen Peng asked me to have dinner at noon. I just came back from his house," Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "I came home for business." Talking about business? "How can Zhang Pingyi believe it? "This is the first time I heard that you are not talking about a PY transaction, are you? "
"You are too dark in your heart." Qin Shaoyan said while looking at the female singer singing on the stage, "This time it was not in vain. At least the game version number problem was solved."
Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised. , "Based on Mr. Qin's connections, does anyone dare to block your account?"
"It's better for the county magistrate to be in charge now." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "There are so many game companies now, how can I apply for one?" There are more editions, so we can’t just take care of us.”
“I also encountered people from Jiucheng at Chen Peng’s place, but Chen Peng was stunned and didn’t let them in.”
"From Nine Cities?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "You don't really want to get stuck in their "World of Warcraft", do you?"
"How is that possible?!" Qin Shaoyan immediately defended, "I accepted all the gifts from Blizzard. There is no point in me getting the national server of "World of Warcraft"."
"I remember your previous comments on "World of Warcraft" "This online game is very vigilant." Zhang Pingyi asked doubtfully.
“It’s not vigilance.” Qin Shaoyan said lightly, “I have the greatest respect for competition, but fortunately, although Blizzard is strong, its threat is not great.”
Zhang Pingyi said solemnly: "I heard Teacher Fan say that they have been playing the foreign server of "World of Warcraft" recently and have a high opinion of this online game."
"Because "World of Warcraft" We have made a lot of innovative designs, so it will become a phenomenal and landmark game." Qin Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "We still need to learn more, learn more, and then innovate."
Zhang Pingyi nodded. The Internet industry must continue to make progress, constantly learn from its opponents, insist on micro-innovation, and maintain vitality. If Internet companies lose innovation, they will soon lose their vitality.
"Actually, Chen Peng called me over today not to talk about games." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "He wants to help his alma mater get a quota for an international summer camp."
"Well ?" Zhang Pingyi was really shocked, "Have the relationships in these schools reached this level?"
"I was quite surprised at the time." Qin Shaoyan smiled bitterly, "In order to get a quota. "Everyone in the circle can reach Chen Peng's head."
Zhang Pingyi was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Actually, someone from our school has also asked me, hoping that I can help get a few people in."< br>
"Eh?!" Qin Shaoyan frowned and glanced at Zhang Pingyi, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You have never said anything about how to arrange the allocation of quotas, and neither do I. It's so easy to open your mouth." Zhang Pingyi grimaced, "I've been annoyed to death by this matter recently."
"Well, I understand." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment and said slowly, "I always knew that I was caught. A trump card, but I don’t know how powerful it is.”
“But fortunately, they don’t know how powerful this trump card is.”
“What. ? ” Zhang Pingyi was a little confused.
Qin Shaoyan sighed, "That day Mr. Xiong said that I was brave. I didn't understand what it meant at the time."
"This card is a bit hot, but it is very useful and can help us solve many things."
Zhang Pingyi didn't understand what Qin Shaoyan said, but he still said: "Then you deal with it as soon as possible. If you delay it, you don't know who else will come after you."
"Wait. Let’s talk after this holiday.” Qin Shaoyan raised his head and glanced at the singer on the stage, “This girl can sing well, where did she find her?”
“Teacher Fan recommended her. She probably knew her from the resident singer in the bar. Yes." Zhang Pingyi said with some uncertainty.
"Remind me to ask for a business card or something later." Qin Shaoyan warned, "It's time for our video website to schedule some Internet celebrity programs."
"You can tell Teacher Fan directly." Zhang Pingyi said. As he said that, he stood up and said, "It's time for me to go up and perform."
Then the young lady who announced the curtain walked up to the stage and said with a smile: "Here we invite our Zhang Pingyi and Vice President Zhang to perform for everyone. , "Nunchaku""
Then the familiar prelude sounded, Zhang Minyi rushed onto the stage, cupped his hands and cupped his hands in all directions, and then shook out the nunchucks in his sleeves.
In an instant, there were many stick shadows on the stage, and two nunchakus were flying up and down, accompanied by a burst of "hum hum ha ha", and the fight was vigorous.
The audience below the stage was stunned for a while, then burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the employees applauded desperately.
I didn’t expect that the company’s CTO, Vice President Zhang, would be so skillful.
At the end of the song, Zhang Pingyi stopped his move without blushing or out of breath, once again cupped his hands with his fists, and somersaulted off the stage.
When Zhang Pingyi returned to the dining table, people around him gave thumbs up and praised Vice President Zhang for his awesomeness.
Only Qin Shaoyan ate the sugar orange very calmly. He had seen Zhang Pingyi's skills in his previous life. When the two were in the same company, this had become a repertoire of the annual meeting and was performed every year.
But it's better to be young. In a few years, Zhang Tianshi won't be able to do any somersaults, and he might lose his waist.
The next step is Teacher Fan’s rock show. This time he didn’t fool around with an allegro, but made a serious drum set and went on stage.
After that, the art guy from the game company came on stage and performed a break dance that is almost lost.
These programs opened the eyes of the newly joined Kou Hongfei team, and they all sighed that Mr. Qin is really full of talents.
The chief CTO is also capable of both literary and military skills. Why should such a team not be developed?
Qin Shaoyan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zhang Pingyi, "You have never given up on this skill." "I have reviewed it again in the past few days, and I almost broke my head." Zhang Pingyi waved his hand, "This You have to practice your skills every day, otherwise your skills will be bad.”
“You have to practice more,” Qin Shaoyan nodded, “When the vacation is over, you will do the audition and lottery procedures for the international summer camp. Come on, I don’t worry about others doing it.”
“Okay.” Zhang Pingyi hesitated, “Is it really random or pseudo-random?”
“Of course it’s pseudo-random, but it has to be done. It’s like it’s really random.”
"Then you have to write the rules in advance."
"Don't worry about this, you really have to work out the rules carefully. Even if you are cheating, you have to make it invisible." Qin Shaoyan said, suddenly his face changed. Change, shouted, "That's wrong."
Zhang Pingyi was startled, "What's wrong?"
"This lottery is wrong." Qin Shaoyan pointed at the big screen, "This lottery Is there something wrong with the result? Why are the good prizes drawn by the technical department? "Who did this lottery procedure?" Zhang Pingyi looked at it carefully and his face became serious. "The probability is a bit wrong."
As he said this, Zhang Minyi was about to stand up, but Qin Shaoyan grabbed him.
"Wait and see." Qin Shaoyan glanced at the next winners and called Chen Guangxia over, "These winners are all from the technical department, right?"
Chen Guangxia glanced at it and said with a hard expression on his face, "They are indeed from the technical department."
"Hurry up and stop it." Zhang Pingyi stood up directly, went to the stage and took the microphone, "Stop this lottery first, put this The code for the lottery program is open, I want to review the code on the spot.”
Chen Guangxia couldn’t sit still anymore, followed him on stage, called Xu Lei and Li Le, and they gathered in front of a laptop. View the code.
"Damn it, what is this written? Why is there no annotation?"
"Is this Pinyin?"
"It seems to be Pinyin."
"Who the hell is this? The code I wrote uses the first letters of Pinyin and the first letters of English words. Can this thing run? "
"Who wrote this, let him come up quickly"
Immediately afterwards, the programmer in charge of the lottery program was called to the stage and was questioned with a red face.
“Have you considered that job numbers are discontinuous?”
“Of course, I reorganized a list.”
“Those who have already been drawn need to Remove it from the list, have you written it? ”
“I must have written it”
"There are 50 third prizes. Did you draw 50 numbers in a row or 50 numbers at once?"
"It was 50 numbers at once."
"How did you generate the random numbers?" "
"..."
After questioning, the programmer in charge of the lottery was sweating profusely.
Finally Zhang Pingyi discovered the problem, "What is this code of yours for?"
"Uh, it seems to be for testing?"
"Why don't you delete the code for testing?"
"I...forgot."
Chen Guangxia also discovered a program bug, "How come your second prize lottery list calls the third prize winning list? It shouldn't be Are you randomly selecting from the remaining list?"
Zhang Minyi was also shocked, "Look, what kind of bullshit code is this?"
This code must not be used anymore, so he called Fan Xiaoqian over and the three CTOs wrote the code themselves on the spot.
Then a bunch of programmers gathered around, chiming in all kinds of things.
After the personal efforts of three experts, the new lottery procedure was finally completed. The previous lottery results were cancelled, and everyone started drawing again.
Zhang Pingyi sat back down next to Qin Shaoyan with an ugly expression, and softly informed him of the incident, "It's not fraud, it's just shit written, a bug."
"Huh?!" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "Our Internet company has so many programmers, how can something like this happen?"
Zhang Minyi looked ashamed, "The person in charge of the lottery program is a new employee. They saw that he had nothing to do, so they handed over the lottery procedure to him."
"His superior supervisor didn't check it either?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
“No.” Zhang Pingyi shook his head.
"What about the test? It didn't go through the test group either?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.
"No." Zhang Pingyi continued to shake his head.
Qin Shaoyan frowned, "This is dereliction of duty."
"Although all entrepreneurs now are grassroots teams, I have established a research and development process."
" There is a strict process from demand to research and development, and the final product must be tested by the test team before it can be launched. Is this a rigid rule? "
Zhang Pingyi sighed, "The lottery procedure is not required by the website. It was a formal function, so no one took it seriously and did not follow the normal process.”
Qin Shaoyan said expressionlessly, "The programmer who brought the newcomer will have one month's salary deducted, and the programmer who wrote the lottery program will also be punished."
"Xu Lei and Li Le, they will also be punished. The salary is deducted. Senior Brother Chen has just been transferred, so he and the others are just herding sheep, right?”
Zhang Pingyi explained: “The video website has transferred a few key personnel from the campus, and the campus network has recently added a lot of new people. , it is inevitable that something will go wrong.”
“Zhang Tianshi, you have to take charge of the campus network again after the vacation,” Qin Shaoyan said seriously, “There can’t be any problems with team building.”
Zhang Pingyi nodded seriously.
When Internet companies were started, they were all grass-roots teams, and there was no management at all. They just made do.
After all, these companies have today and no tomorrow, and they may go bankrupt at any time. Survival is the first priority, and all processes and management must be put later.
As the company's scale and business continued to expand, many stubborn diseases and problems remained, and the contradictions were covered up as the company developed.
After the company stabilized, many problems were exposed, but some problems could no longer be corrected.
In fact, many Internet companies are full of bastards in their middle and senior levels. They are just hidden by the brands and lofty titles of major Internet companies. They can usually deal with them, but when unexpected situations arise, their underpants are exposed. .
For example, there are many weird KPI assessments, product functions that are like sand sculptures, weird marketing ideas, and a team-building culture that has all five evils.
Qin Shaoyan feels that if he wants to develop, he must have a strong and formalized team.
We need to carry out rectification.
