Chapter 229 Tea Tasting
After explaining the campus network matters, Qin Shaoyan turned to look at Chen Guangxia and Kou Hongfei.
“Brother Chen, 2005 was an excellent development period for Qvod.com.”
“We grabbed a head start and became the first online video website on the domestic Internet. This is an excellent strategic opportunity to quickly accumulate users.”
“Understood, Mr. Qin,” Chen Guangxia said quickly, “We must work hard to build Qvod. OK.”
"In addition to accumulating users, the other thing we need to do is to create content." Qin Shaoyan warned, "The content of the video website is the most important. We do not open a website to give users a place to upload videos for free."
“We must make good use of users and retain them. In addition to content produced by users themselves, we must also find ways to create content ourselves.”
“I plan to do it in two steps. The first is to explore Users who produce high-quality content will be strongly supported.”
“The other aspect is the purchase and transportation of film and television dramas,” Qin Shaoyan began to emphasize, “Of course, strict review is required when transporting film and television dramas. Bring them all over.”
“I will purchase the copyrights of a batch of domestic film and television dramas, and we must severely crack down on and clean up the piracy of these films and television dramas on our website.”
"The process of purchasing copyright will continue. This is an important task."
Qin Shaoyan said seriously: "The Internet will undergo new changes in 2005, and video websites may become a new hot spot for capital. We will face more intense competition. ”
“We don’t know who our competitors are and how they will compete. The only thing we have to do is to stay ahead. ”< br>
“This requires a strong, high-quality and capable team.”
“As long as you have the ability, you must promote, regardless of academic qualifications or qualifications.”
"The same goes for the opposite. If there is a problem, you must be punished. It doesn't matter what position he holds or who his relatives and friends are." Qin Shaoyan said word by word, "Rewards and punishments must be clear!"
"Senior Brother Chen, Hong Fei Brother, the video website is up to you.”
Chen Guangxia and Kou Hongfei quickly stated that they would work hard to build a good website.
Qin Shaoyan suddenly smiled and said to Chen Guangxia: "Senior Brother Chen should learn more about management. He is the vice president of the company and does not need to do anything personally."
"I usually focus more on management. Other things like fixing bugs and recruiting people for interviews can be left to other people."
"We must learn to grasp the big and let go of the small, know people well and let professionals do professional things."
"Huh?!" Chen Guangxia was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Okay, Mr. Qin."< br>
Although Qin Shaoyan's words were said in an understatement, they were like thunder in Chen Guangxia's ears, and he immediately began to feel uneasy in his heart.
Such a series of arrangements are obviously aimed at checking and balancing the telecommunications system, and Chen Guangxia knows it well.
Although he does have some small thoughts, he is not ambitious.
Chen Guangxia went to an Internet company after graduation, and the dangerous workplace life gave the college students who had just left school a bit of a social shock.
What about factional fighting, what about office politics, what about group suppression.
Just because he and the technical director were not alumni, Chen Guangxia was constantly squeezed out.
He couldn't bear the pressure and resigned, so he went directly to a new game company.
After he moved from a game company to the campus, Mr. Qin entrusted him with important responsibilities and became a manager.
Although he does not have the title of CTO, he has been responsible for the work of CTO.
Last year, during the period of rapid expansion of the campus network, there was a shortage of qualified programmers.
Before there was no HR, Chen Guangxia was also responsible for recruitment interviews. In order to facilitate work and reduce communication costs, everyone would habitually choose to recruit their own people.
This person includes friends, relatives, and former colleagues. They know the ins and outs of the person they have interacted with, and they also know the other person’s abilities, which saves them the trouble of backtracking.
So Chen Guangxia naturally tends to choose his own people when recruiting. In addition to those with whom he has worked well, the most people in his social circle are alumni.
Soon, the telecom faction in the company was unintentionally formed.
It took a long time for Chen Guangxia to realize this problem. Facing the ever-growing telecommunications system, he felt not only fear but also joy.
There will definitely be benefits from having a large number of people, but Chen Guangxia has not yet planned what benefits he wants to gain for himself.
Just when Chen Guangxia was complacent, Qin Shaoyan dug a big pit for him and let him jump into it happily and voluntarily.
When Qin Shaoyan asked Chen Guangxia if he was willing to go to Qvod.com, Chen Guangxia agreed without hesitation.
Taking charge of a company independently is equivalent to becoming a prince. Although the company has just started, the future is promising.
Chen Guangxia feels that the basic structure of the campus network has been stabilized, and the same model can be copied to Qvod Network to expand the telecommunications department.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoyan directly purchased a team from outside and naturally joined Chen Guangxia's staff.
So Chen Guangxia's position is a bit embarrassing. Although he is the CTO, the technical team below has its own manager, which is equivalent to being ignored.
In order to fight against Kou Hongfei's team, Chen Guangxia immediately transferred a few key personnel from the campus network to support the scene. Naturally, the campus network would be short of manpower.
Chen Guangxia figured that as long as he could survive this period and add a new group of people after the new year, he would naturally get through this embarrassing period.
I never expected that Qin Shaoyan would suddenly take advantage of the annual meeting lottery to do something like this, beating and mixing sand.
Chen Guangxia can predict that there will be a wave of purges targeting the telecommunications sector after the new year.
......
After everyone left, Qin Shaoyan kept Zhang Pingyi again.
There was no need to be secretive about Zhang Pingyi, Qin Shaoyan simply said it clearly.
"Zhang Tianshi, I leave the campus network to you." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Do you know what to do?"
"Yes." Zhang Pingyi nodded with a serious expression. , "Improve the level of the technical team, recruit capable personnel to join, improve the research and development process, and establish a training system for new employees."
Qin Shaoyan asked: "What should we do if there are unqualified employees?"< br>
"Expelled." Zhang Pingyi replied without hesitation.
Qin Shaoyan sighed, "What if it's not easy to drive?"
"What's so difficult about firing someone?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "Can't unsuitable employees be fired?"
< br>"That being said, what should you do if someone asks you for mercy?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
“It’s useless to ask me for mercy. I measure it by ability.” Zhang Pingyi frowned, “Programmers and product managers are different. You can still tell the difference between technical level and skill level. Okay, if it doesn’t work, it won’t work.”
“It’s useless even if you intercede, Mr. Qin. I can’t let a novice be the backend, and the bugs can’t be fixed.”
Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Yes, everyone understands such a simple truth, but it is not that easy to do."
"The people who were fired include your junior brothers and your friends. They will Said you are unreasonable."
Zhang Pingyi replied: "No one I know is bad, even if they are not good, I can't recruit them."
"That's not the case. They were recruited, but in fact they have already come in. "Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "Firing them will be called a purge."
Zhang Pingyi was stunned and hesitated for a moment. He slowly asked: "You mean the telecommunications department?"
"There is such a saying." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "And they all say that you are the boss of the telecommunications department."
Zhang Pingyi quickly defended: "I don't know about this, and I didn't do anything about it. "I know it's not you." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Actually, factions will exist whether you think about it or not." "The so-called corruption within the party. Factions are all kinds of things, and it’s normal for companies to have factions.”
The problem of factions has always existed since the beginning of humankind. Birds of a feather flock together.
When people communicate in social activities, they form teams based on various factors such as blood, proximity, interests, race, skin color, etc., and thus factions are born.
At all times and in all countries, no matter what company or organization it is, there will be factions.
Zhang Pingyi was a little anxious, "This matter may have something to do with Senior Brother Chen."
"It doesn't matter who it is. In fact, I don't care about the faction." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "I only care. Incompetent. "
Chen Guangxia is very utilitarian, and Qin Shaoyan could see it when he recruited him.
At that time, Qin Shaoyan wanted to recruit people for the game department, but Chen Guangxia took the initiative to choose the campus network.
Because the game department already has an art team brought by Teacher Hong, and the campus network is still a blank sheet of paper with simple interpersonal relationships, the programmers recruited are also graduates of Telecommunications University.
Using the same school as a bond can quickly form a group.
However, this person's technical level was very good, and Qin Shaoyan lacked talents, so he recruited Chen Guangxia.
We must both guard against and use this kind of people.
In contrast, Zhang Pingyi's thoughts were much simpler. Before, Qin Shaoyan asked Zhang Pingyi where he wanted to go.
Zhang Pingyi replied that he wanted to go to the game department. You must know that the game department is a direct descendant of Qin Shaoyan.
If it were Chen Guangxia, he would never choose to go to the game department.
After Zhang Pingyi thought for a while, "I will draw up a list after the year, and I will clear out the unqualified ones, and I will go and talk about it myself."
Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "You put it Just draw up the list and leave the rest to HR.”
"You are also the vice president of the company, so you don't have to show up personally for such a trivial matter. Let others do the bad work. HR is a professional."
"Firing someone who is unqualified is a trivial matter. The most important thing is to To fill the team, we need to recruit more capable people.”
Chen Guangxia’s approach of only looking at schools and not abilities has harmed the development of the company, so this is the root cause of the purge.
Zhang Pingyi nodded, "I will take care of it and recruit more people from other schools."
"There is no need to avoid suspicion." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "I only look at ability. .”
Zhang Pingyi glanced at Qin Shaoyan, "Did you have a plan for sending Brother Chen to Qvod.com?"
"It's nothing." Qin Shaoyan shook his head, "What you think of me is just like a scheming one. , I actually made it up on the spur of the moment."
Zhang Pingyi nodded, "That's even more terrifying."
"What's scary?" Qin Shaoyan was a little stunned.
“Isn’t this ability scary if you make it on the spur of the moment just like it was designed in advance?” Zhang Pingyi said seriously, “Actually, in my heart, I feel that you are just trying to trick people every day. old silver coins ”
"Get lost!"
......
The next morning, Qin Shaoyan drove his Wuling Hongguang and slowly stopped in front of a teahouse.
After getting out of the car, Qin Shaoyan raised his head and glanced at the sign hanging outside. Four diamond-shaped wooden boards were nailed horizontally to the lintel, with a word written on each board.
“Civilized Elegant Gathering”
Qin Shaoyan pushed open the solid wood shop door, and two waiters in red cheongsam bowed together, "Welcome our distinguished guests."
The interior of the teahouse is decorated with antiques, and the waitresses in the lobby are all wearing cheongsam, carrying copper teapots, and on their arms Went back and forth wearing a towel.
The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, grass and tea. There are a row of birdcages hanging under the beams next to it, and the canaries inside are singing happily.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Qin Shaoyan went straight to the second floor and came to a private room.
Hao Zhiqiang had been waiting inside early. When he saw Qin Shaoyan arriving, he stood up with a smile, "Mr. Qin is here."
"This place chosen by Director Hao is really elegant." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I am a bit unaccustomed to such a vulgar person coming in. I usually drink wine and coffee with others, but this is my first time drinking tea."
Hao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "You said you don't want to drink, and I can't drink coffee, so I can only ask you to come to the teahouse."
"Forget about drinking." Qin Shaoyan said with a wry smile, " I have been drinking every day during the two days of vacation, and I really can’t drink anymore.”
“It was better when I was a student, and I was free and relaxed, but now I am becoming more and more restrained. People who drink together are not from the city. It’s from the ministry.”
“It’s not enough if you don’t drink it.”
Hao Zhiqiang felt sad and said with emotion: "Yes, I can't help myself when I go to work. There are too many social activities."
"So drinking tea is good." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile. , "Drinking tea and chatting makes you feel happy and doesn't harm your health."
"It's just that this teahouse seems to be expensive, which cost Director Hao a lot of money."
"What? It’s free of charge.” Hao Zhiqiang laughed, “Let me introduce to you, this is the person who is hosting the treat, I am just a middleman.”
“This is Director Meng Xueyi. .”
"This is the CEO of the campus network, Mr. Qin Shaoyan."
Meng Xueyi is about forty years old, with a Chinese character face, wearing a black suit, and the gold-rimmed glasses on his face look a bit elegant temperament.
"Hello, Director Meng." Qin Shaoyan looked at the other person and warmly stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
"Don't call me Director Meng, just call me Mr. Meng." Meng Xueyi smiled and shook Qin Shaoyan's hand, "Mr. Qin is really young and promising. He has become a leader in the industry at a young age."
"I don't want to take it seriously." Qin Shaoyan said modestly, "Times make heroes. I just caught up with the trend of the Internet. Mr. Meng, don't call me Mr. Qin, just call me Xiao Qin."
"Calling Mr. Qin is indeed too formal." Meng Xueyi said obediently, "Xiao Qin, please sit down."
The three of them politely took their seats, and then a waiter in cheongsam came in with a tea set, and began to brew. Tea.
Soon the aroma of tea overflowed in the private room, and the light fragrance was refreshing.
"The Longjing here before the rain is soaked in water from Yuquan Mountain. Xiao Qin, come and taste it." Meng Xueyi made a gesture of invitation.
Qin Shaoyan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put it down again and said slowly: "It is said that Longjing tea is as sweet and fragrant as orchid, quiet but not harsh. It is indifferent when you sip it, and it seems tasteless. After drinking it, you feel There is a kind of peace that lingers between the teeth and cheeks. This taste is tasteless. ”
"But, I can't drink to this level. It's really a waste of resources."
Meng Xueyi smiled, "There is something special about drinking tea. Our Chinese tea culture has been extensive and profound for thousands of years. You have to taste it slowly and realize it slowly.”
“Xiao Qin, it’s your first time drinking, so you may not be used to it. Please taste it again.”
Qin Shaoyan put the tea cup down directly. It’s good tea, but the mood is different and the taste is different.”
“I can’t taste it in my current mood.”
Ping, you big-headed devil, I have hundreds of thousands per second, so how can I have time to drink tea slowly with you here?
Give it back to you, taste it carefully.
