Chapter 13 How Code Farmers Make Money

"If you really have a good project, Aunt Chen will help you find a way to find funds."

Seeing Su Xing's appearance, Chen Jingya seemed to be really interested in starting a business, so she immediately expressed her supportive attitude.

She treated this best friend's son as her own child, and she even brought this little guy back then.

I originally wanted to recognize my godson, but my husband didn't agree so I had to give up.

When Su Xing heard Chen Jingya's words, he immediately smiled and said, "I remember Aunt Chen's words. If you don't have money, don't bet on the debt."

"When did Aunt Chen cheat you?"

After Chen Jingya finished speaking, she looked at her watch and said, "It's getting late. Do you still have to go to the computer room today?"

"Of course."

"Then I'll take you over now. You should pay attention to it yourself and don't affect the seniors who are on the computer to do research."

Chen Jingya explained the precautions again. The computer room she was responsible for was mostly open to masters and doctoral students in this major. These people were basically working for their supervisors when they were on the computer, so they could not be affected by Su Xing and the others.

Chen Jingya took the two to the computer room, arranged two computers in the corner, and then took two more entry and exit permits, and left.

"Su Xing, this computer is so fast."

Su Xing took a look at the startup screen of Windows XP and complained in his heart that the startup speed was really slow, but the computer in the computer room was actually a good performance. He just compared the speed of computers in later generations.

Su Xing did not use the computer in the computer room, but took out his laptop from his backpack, plugged the network cable into his laptop, and started the computer.

He came here with Zhang Ying mainly to surf the Internet.

His laptop was a reward given by his mother when he was admitted to Fuhai University. He chose a relatively high configuration at that time. Although he had been using it for almost two years, his performance was not too out of date.

Before Su Xing was reborn, the biggest use of this laptop was to play games.

However, now it is his biggest weapon to make money.

Although I found a shortcut to buy the World Cup Sports Lottery last night, this is just a one-time transaction and can only be considered an additional benefit.

Later, Su Xing lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, but he thought of an initial way to start a business.

Today he came to surf the Internet to explore the way.

After Su Xing guided Zhang Ying to download the C integrated programming environment, he said: "Zhang Ying, you can master C as soon as possible. Don't wait for me to find a project, you can do nothing."

Zhang Ying was stunned and said, "Is the entrepreneurship you just mentioned true?"

"Of course, as long as we have programming skills, it is the best way to work early and make money. After accumulating capital, we can do big things."

"Oh, OK, then I won't talk to you anymore."

Zhang Ying immediately began to become familiar with the programming environment, and at the same time practiced according to the book "C From Beginner to Expert".

Seeing Zhang Ying's full-hearted look, Su Xing couldn't help but shake his head. With this guy's emotional intelligence, how did he climb to the position of Huawei's technical executive?

After coming back to his senses, Su Xing opened the browser and entered a URL in his memory.

This is the way Su Xing learned from a colleague when he was a programmer at Shengda Network. On this website, he could directly receive outsourcing work from some IT enterprise engineers in Silicon Valley, USA.

Relying on this part-time job, Su Xing made a considerable amount of US dollars to help his family pay off their debts early.

However, with the rise of various outsourcing companies, the cost of such part-time jobs became lower and lower, and the gains were basically not worth the cost, so Su Xing stopped doing it.

Now it is 2002. If Su Xing remembers correctly, this website existed as early as 2000, the product of the trend.

It is said that the founder is a Chinese. He only cares about the time difference between the United States and China, and asks Chinese software engineers to help American software engineers work in the United States at night. American software engineers can change the code during the day and then submit the assignment to their superiors.

Although real technical experts disdain to let others write code for themselves, many Americans still think that it is very pleasant to spend one-third or even lower salary to make themselves easily earn more than two-thirds of their salary.

As a programmer in China, his monthly salary at this time is mostly less than 2,000 yuan, and even a first-tier city like Shanghai, the average is only 5,000 yuan.

Programmers who can reach the average or above have at least three years of work experience, and most of them are far from reaching it.

At this time, the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar was 8.276:1. Even if calculated based on the average of 5,000 yuan, it was only over 600 yuan.

Even though the software engineers in Silicon Valley are in the low point of the Internet, their average annual salary is US$80,000. If you count, the monthly salary is US$6,667, which is more than ten times that of Chinese programmers.

Such a price difference is the reason why some American engineers who want to be lazy are active on this website, because they only need to pay $500 to become members and have the right to post work tasks.

Then you only need to pay a third or even lower monthly salary to find a programmer who is as capable as you to help you work.

As for Chinese programmers who are looking for work, they only need to spend 500 yuan to register as users.

Due to the time difference, this coordinated working model can be seamlessly connected, which is simply a perfect example of Sino-US cooperation provided by God.

Later in my previous life, many Chinese software outsourcing companies benchmarked against this kind of business, but large orders generally cannot rob Indians, but even small orders have supported many such software companies.

Su Xing now wants to follow this coder’s way of making money and make a living by relying on his real skills.

For this reason, he skipped class in the afternoon to apply for a bank card of China Merchants Bank and opened an online banking business. China Merchants Bank's online banking business was the earliest in China and was relatively mature.

At this moment, after Su Xing paid to register a user, he spent more than an hour shopping on the website and had already negotiated with no less than twenty Silicon Valley engineers.

It’s either because the other party’s outsourcing work is inappropriate or the price is inappropriate.

Silicon Valley is now in a low period, and everyone is very cautious in bidding, after all, making money is not easy.

After going around, Su Xing was attracted by what an engineer named Mike Gilson said.

Gilson's company is a software company that develops business platforms for some financial companies. The software he is currently developing is similar to the later p2p platform.

Su Xing is very familiar with this product. After changing jobs from a game company in his previous life, he worked on such a platform. He is still the technical director of that p2p company.

So, Su Xingxian and Gilson started chatting through the website's confidence, from the Internet bubble to Internet financial innovation, and finally talked about the platform developed by Gilson.

In his words, Su Xing vaguely revealed his depth of understanding of this product, which made Gilson very impressed.

"Alex, your idea is great. I think you are the helper I am looking for. How about it, I will pay $800 a month, and you can do it with me."

alex is the English name that Su Xing registered for himself on this website in his previous life, and he still uses this name now.

"Gilson, I remember you said you were going to take a newly purchased yacht to sea during the Easter holiday. Look, you can buy a yacht, with an annual salary of at least $500,000. This platform is a big job, and you are willing to pay a paltry $800. Your cleaners are more than this salary."
