Chapter 352 Set sail Brothers
It is not difficult to join a start-up company.
It is difficult to join a start-up company from a stable industry leader.
So Sun Miao still needs time to think about it. Li Yan has always expressed understanding, but at the same time, he also said that "whoever joins first will be employee No. 6 first."
Sun Miao couldn’t laugh or cry, are you doing some kind of limited edition marketing?
But... maybe Li Yan will be biased towards those who joined early?
The moment he thought about this question, he suddenly found that he already had the answer.
In the following days, Li Yan used this set of high-pressure interviews to test the quality of many people, and received thirteen "Let me think about it again."
Without exception, the thirteen people are all technical talents and have certain similarities with Sun Miao.
They are all technical backbones, relatively young, and relatively unnoticed in the original company.
The positioning basically belongs to the category of "technical workers who follow the leadership's instructions and solve problems" and follow the top students of the design institute for several years.
Those who can do practical work in large companies or even next to the chief engineer have nothing wrong with their technical level being said to be among the best in the industry.
They basically lack experience and status, so they are full of ideas and cannot use them. After all, they feel a little frustrated.
Like Sun Miao, they all experienced the experience of being suppressed by Li Yan's thinking speed, from being relaxed and freehand to sweating profusely to being impressed by Li Yan's ability - this is a necessary attribute for joining the team, and Li Yan did not I don’t want them to have any objections to him on the main idea.
Because the person at the helm can only be himself.
It is impossible for members of the start-up team to play the "one can replace" game. In the days to come, Li Yan will make them realize what it means to be the soul of a team.
In fact, the moment they proposed to consider it, the balance had already tilted towards Li Yan.
After two weeks, Li Yan received ten confirmation replies.
However, they cannot be in place immediately, and it will take at least a month to hand over the work.
Fortunately, among these ten people, except for two young engineers who went to Beijing, the others are not far from New Taipei.
The main force was Xin'an, which was developing high and new technologies in full swing. Li Yan attracted six people, many of whom were researchers working in Xin'an technology-based state-owned enterprises.
Ren Jiangfeng, the deputy mayor of New Taipei City, ridiculed him for “helping New Taipei City discover a lot of talents from sister cities.”
The director of the Science and Technology Bureau of Xin'an filed a complaint with Zuo Yuming. Li Yan didn't want to open a company in Xin'an, but he came to poach their talents. As a result, he was educated by Director Zuo. "There is a pattern that is considered for Linjiang Province", not to mention how depressing it is.
The two most special people among this group should be Zhou Yang and Li Guangde.
Zhou Yang was in charge of the hardware business when Rolla was still considered a mobile phone giant. He was one of the few talents with a senior hardware background in the industry.
In fact, it stands to reason that since he is nearly fifty years old and has a lot of resources in his hands, he should not be interested in a start-up company like Li Yan that "only has ideas."
Li Yan's age multiplied by three is not as old as Zhou Yang... This also led to the awkwardness when the two met at the beginning.
But in the end, Zhou Yang expressed that he was moved by Li Yan's ideas and the concept phone he took out, and he was willing to "try" to build a legendary mobile phone with Li Yan when there was no financial pressure.
At his age, earning a few more dollars doesn't mean much, but the attraction of leaving his name in the history books is fatal.
Li Yan’s concept phone opened his eyes to endless possibilities.
Once Zhou Yang recognized Li Yan's idea, joining would be a matter of course.
In fact, Li Yan came at the right time. Luola mobile phones were already in decline. Zhou Yang had just resigned from Luola and joined a computer brand giant. He was thinking that it would be pointless to continue doing this, so he was approached. .
The other one is Li Guangde, who is well-known in Linjiang Province. He once established the Industrial Design Department of Xin'an University, and then served as the department director for two years before resigning decisively to establish his own studio.
This guy is in his early forties. The couple are both masters in the field of industrial design. They have a high status in the design world and have long been financially free.
When Li Yan contacted him, he even asked, "Do we need financial support?"
Similarly, Li Guangde was also impressed by Li Yan's wonderful ideas and the concept machine full of "industrial design beauty". After three days of interview with Li Yan, he called to express his intention to join.
In fact, the relationship between these two people and Li Yan is more like a partnership. Just because they are not short of money and want to do something big, they agreed to join Future Technology directly-the kind that takes shares.
Needless to say how much they helped in mobile phone research and development, Li Yan was interested in not only their own abilities, but also the resources behind them.
It’s just that the communication with them lasted for more than six hours, and Li Yan’s throat was about to smoke.
And because both Zhou Yang and Li Guangde have deep experience in their respective fields, Li Yan is under great pressure to talk.
But just as Li Yan responded to Li Guangde’s question about “what kind of person do you need?”
“I will only consider it if you have to overwhelm me in terms of logic and professionalism.”
Others joined for different reasons, and some of them joined because they liked the cooperation between Academician Ni and Li Yan. But all in all, Li Yan spent nearly a month to gain a very strong core team, and the efficiency is already very high.
Building 1 of Science and Technology Park in Rongxi District, only a few kilometers away from New Taipei Middle School, is the 5-story office building prepared by New Taipei City for Li Yan - each floor has 8 standardized offices, in addition to the lobby on the first floor for meetings There are a total of 32 office spaces in guest rooms and the like.
It’s actually quite embarrassing. It’s a bit too much for Li Yan now, but it will definitely not be enough when he develops in the future.
However, since it is free of rent anyway, the bigger the better. At least there is no problem in letting Academician Ni’s team move in.
Li Yan spent money to buy specific office equipment, and all of them were top-of-the-line tools, which made the founding employees No. 2 to 5 of Future Technology extremely excited.
The laboratory paid a large sum of money from others.
Li Yan went to Zuo Yuming and said that the province had prepared everything needed for the research laboratory for Academician Ni’s team, and Academician Ni’s team would also conduct research on future science and technology. Did he want to make a point?
I approached Mayor Ren again and said that the province had contributed to his laboratory. Should the city support him?
Both leaders expressed doubts about the use of the 33 million in Li Yan's hands.
“There will be many places to use money in the future, but it must be used wisely. I will spend the money on the construction of the laboratory now. If I am short of money in the future, will I have to ask the leaders for money? "
Ren Jiangfeng really wanted to say that you could go directly to Wei Yili and ask for another 30 million, but he quickly helped Li Yan to get it. If that didn't work, he might have to use the few special funds he had.
This little story reached the ears of Academician Ni. He laughed loudly and signaled to the person in charge of the "New Taipei Cursor Digital Laboratory", who was the person in charge of the cooperation project with Li Yan. Professor Wen came forward to help Li Yan lobby the province.
"After all, you can't stay with us all the time, you have to go to him to communicate."
As a result, the Future Technology Digital Laboratory was completed. When leaders at the provincial and municipal levels lamented that this guy was difficult to deal with, Li Yan gave them another candy:
In the future, as Future Technology develops, It will invest in upgrading the current digital laboratory and deliver it directly to New Taipei City for use.
After this set of operations, the foursome of He Zixiang, Deng Yudi, Lai Yining and Chen Fan were completely confused.
The top-of-the-line computer alone is dizzying, not to mention the digital laboratory and the bunch of "colleagues" who are dazzled just by looking at it.
“I just said that it is very useful to get your reputation out. Think about it, if you call me and say, ‘I am Li Yan,’ and the other person says, ‘Who are you?’, how can we talk about the next step? "Li Yan was sighing with He Zixiang in the office.
He Zixiang said that he did not dare to answer the call at all.
Deng Yudi, who had just completed a wave of tests, was lying on the sofa next to him, "Now I really feel that you are a boss. It's really shocking. I can't help but want to pinch myself when I think of Mr. Yan as a junior high school student. "
"Are you dreaming?" He Zixiang asked.
“I am a high school student.”
"The outrageousness has not diminished at all," Deng Yudi said, "Brother, seriously, Professor Mai is going to lead a team to hold a seminar the day after tomorrow. I am really stressed."
"That's why I came here to talk to us. I'm not here to ask you to give me a reply." Li Yanxiao.
"Ask Zixiang if he is under a lot of pressure."
They no longer call each other "gods" because they feel that they are not worthy of sharing this with "Yan Shen" name.
"Don't talk about Professor Mai... I'm already trembling just looking at the group of people recruited by Yan Shen."
"Everyone, please be confident." Li Yan left his huge desk - he himself didn't like doing this, but when he hired an agency to purchase office assets, they defaulted to giving the boss a huge desk. I can only accept it reluctantly.
“I just feel like I haven’t seen enough.” He Zixiang covered his face.
"You are the gold medal winners of the Youth Xin'ao International Competition!" Li Yan said loudly, "Those engineers and so on are far less powerful than you at your age. They were born a few years earlier and you are still cowardly. "
"That's what I said, but this experience is beyond our comparison..." Deng Yudi also expressed a little lack of confidence.
“You are employee No. 2345, and your company status is higher than them.”
"Hey, that's it." He Zixiang was suddenly excited, "Yanshen, I'm serious, we can still have fun here during the summer vacation. When school starts, Yu Di and Yining and I are going to Huada, so we can't come to Future Technology. , isn’t it good to occupy the position of employee No. 2345?”
“I also feel that it is very stressful.” Deng Yudi mentioned the pressure for the third time today.
“You mean you won’t be involved in system research and development when school starts?” Li Yan asked with a smile.
"Of course not!" Deng Yudi stood up excitedly, "If conditions permit, I definitely want to follow up until the system is developed and perfected, and I also have feelings for it. The problem is that people will be there by then. You have to go to Beijing and have to take classes, so you won’t have to invest too much time.”
“As long as you want to do it,” Li Yan waved her hand, “No need to talk about it. From 0 to 1, you will always be the greatest. He helped me create the first draft of the Hetu system before the press conference when I had nothing to offer. This contribution is top-notch anyway.”
He Zixiang and Deng Yudi looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
In fact, they still don’t quite understand the concept of 2% shares for each person that Li Yan mentioned before. Before Li Yan officially took them to move into the office building this month, they always had a sense of participation as if they were playing a game. .
"Don't think so much. You are also studying computer science at Huada. Now Professor Meng Changge is my tutor, and Professor Mai Wen, who works under Academician Ni, is working at Huada. I'm here now." Li Yan smiled and said, "Is it possible that participating in difficult projects is a good way to learn, and your study at BGI and participating in this project are not inconsistent."
< br>"I heard that Yi Ning's originally chosen tutor was Professor Mai, but he was suddenly pulled over by Academician Ni. He was quite looking forward to the seminar the day after tomorrow. With his personality, he might just say "Teacher Mai is good"." He Zixiang did not respond. What Li Yan said sounded a lot more relaxed.
“Where are they?” Li Yan asked.
"They are all still in the laboratory, having a great time." Deng Yudi replied.
“Look at them, you two don’t have so many messy ideas in your mind. It’s not easy to have the opportunity to communicate on an equal footing with a team of academicians. It’s great to take this opportunity to do research.”
"Mr. Yan already behaves like a boss..."
Deng Yudi, who was about to make a joke, suddenly swallowed his words when he saw Li Yan's smile.
“Let’s take a walk and see where they go. If I were not trapped by recruiting people, I would prefer to stay in the laboratory.”
After all, 61% of computer skills have passed the threshold. The right way is to strike while the iron is hot and improve the numerical value through research and learning.
And he also really needs to improve his computer skills - at least for now, smartphone-related skills are classified into "computer" by default. Li Yan wants to stabilize his position at the helm, and finally The easy way is to have better knowledge and skills than anyone else.
More powerful than the Four Little Dragons of Qingxinao, more powerful than Meng Changge, more powerful than the ten technical experts brought here, and even more powerful than the team of academicians led by Mai Wen.
Then everyone is a complete deputy.
Chen Fan and Lai Yining are having a heated discussion on the basic issues of the system. They are currently using Chuangzu's previous development based on the win system, which is obviously not suitable for subsequent development.
Lai Yining firmly believes that the L core needs to be used as the base, which means that everything must be overturned.
Chen Fan believes that their team's ability should not touch such a large project at present, and they should focus on more detailed development. Even if the kernel is really replaced in the future, it will still have some functions. Development experience is there.
Then the two people argued endlessly about "What's the use of the experience before changing the core?"
The moment they saw Li Yan coming, the two of them stopped.
"What's going on with you," Li Yan said helplessly, "At least between us, between the five of us, don't treat me as a boss, just communicate when it's time to communicate."
"It's mainly because I'm under a lot of pressure. Professor Mai will come over the day after tomorrow. I want to think about it in the next two days and do some more special operations for him to see. Yi Ning thinks it's a waste of time and needs to start over as soon as possible. ." Chen Fan sighed.
Co-authoring is also stressful for both of you...
"Don't be nervous. I will lead the seminar with Professor Mai the day after tomorrow. In fact, Yi Ning is right. We will have For resources of this level, we must start from scratch. I would say that it is not a bad idea to just make a kernel by ourselves. Anyway, there are no mature kernels on the market now. "
This is not 2010. In 2020, there is no core that dominates the world, and the cost of starting from scratch is currently considered low.
Lai Yining was very excited, "I'll just say it!"
"But that can only be done after working with the major cooperation teams. Now according to Chen Fan, the whole idea is right, at least it is what should be done in these two days."
Chen Fan Fan is also happy.
The team has returned to its normal working atmosphere.
Seeing these people touching the keyboard and getting ready to continue working, Li Yan waved his hand: "It's time to eat, it's not more than half an hour."
Everyone was happy. He followed Li Yan downstairs.
Watching the four of them communicating enthusiastically, Li Yan felt a little emotional:
The identity of the backbone has been firmly bound to him. If he wants the team to operate normally or even efficiently, he has a lot of tasks. .
