In this world, it is sometimes so ironic when it comes to "seeking but not getting".

Many bosses are eager to seize every opportunity to invite employees to dinner, sing and travel, but they are vigorously instilling their mission, vision and values, and desperately brainwashing their employees, but the more they wash them, the more they become disgusted.

It is not that the mission, vision and values ​​are wrong. Companies that truly achieve success do need mission, vision and values.

But the question is whether they deserve it? Is their actions and vision achievements worthy of the big words they want to promote?

Gu Zhe is different. Sometimes he really wants to be purer, and it is not time to talk about those things. He also wants to make himself more successful and experience more convincingly, and then talk about the principles of life.

But there was no way, and he could not stop his subordinates from fear and "worrying that he would not be able to keep up with Brother Gu's progress", so that he could have a more vision and paint the big cakes in the distance more realistically so that he could sleep peacefully.

A happy and comfortable team building ended up changing the flavor.

Fortunately, my subordinates know what they have to do in the rest of this semester, and they are really full of energy and enthusiastically devoted to the next stage of study and experiment.

...

The next morning, Gu Zhe returned to school and started classes as usual, which could be considered as a adjustment and buffer.

He knew that with the spread of SARS, the coursework in this semester of 2003 will definitely be more or less affected. Subsequent isolation measures and school leave controls that may occur anytime and anywhere will disrupt his layout.

If he has other projects to be busy with, or goes to another place in the middle, he might not be able to go back to school to attend online classes directly.

Therefore, the normal days of class are also reduced by one day, and he cherishes it very much. He seizes the current time point and makes up for the courses that need to be completed in the midterm exam, especially the mathematics classes with relatively poor grades.

At Zhu Kezhen College, I finished all the high school mathematics volumes in the first semester of my freshman year. After I got older, I had already reached the line generation and complex variable functions.

For Gu Zhe, a major in materialization in his previous life, re-changing is already something he had never learned before his rebirth. If he doesn't study seriously, he will definitely fail the subject. It is not good-looking in terms of appearance, and it will not be conducive to his prestige in the academic community in the future. If he can avoid it, he will avoid it.

At the same time, considering the epidemic that will aggravate at any time, Gu Zhe really did not plan to open a new scientific research pit this semester.

Because any new plan may face unexpected supply chain coordination, such as delays in outsourcing.

Once things like scientific research competitions are delayed after opening the pit, they will inevitably have a long night and dream more, increasing the risk of leaks. It is better to wait until the environment stabilizes and then open the pit and win it.

This semester, he continued to dig deep into contact lens materials, thinking about how to open a company and self-operated contact lens to exert the catfish effect. On the other hand, he was to sell meltblown cloth well to make money, do more original accumulation, and wait until it was done.

...

As the week ended, it soon entered mid-March.

Gu Zhe, who adjusted the rhythm, began to urgently deploy two things.

First, we continue to allocate the scientific research tasks in the laboratory, purchased some equipment needed for the scientific research of new materials for mold casting hard lens contact lenses, and also bought a mold opening machine for production in the lens factory.

The value of the mold opening machine is an order of magnitude more expensive than the lens centrifuge I built last year. Fortunately, Gu Zhe is rich now, but he can support it.

Moreover, if you buy this machine, it is not a waste, because it can be used for a long time in the future. Once the new technology is developed, it can even be converted into production equipment and directly produce lenses on a small scale.

In addition, Gu Zhe also moved the office he rented in his company and replaced it with another technology park with relatively high rent outside the school. He rented a full quarter of the floor and three large offices as the company's new location.

The area has expanded four or five times compared to last year, and the rent has reached more than ten times that of last year. Total costs more than 10,000 yuan per month.

The reason why Gu Zhe wanted to change the venue was not to show off, it was purely because the previous office building level was not enough, it was not a special science and technology park, and he did not have the qualifications to change the decoration and set up a laboratory.

After changing to a new park, Gu Zhe can slightly renovate two of the large open spaces into a laboratory. In fact, there is nothing to be modified in terms of visual aesthetics. It is mainly to do fire-proof and flame-retardant transformations that the laboratory must be, and also to create a more convenient environment for dust removal and cleanliness, and to replace wall and floor coatings with special materials that are not prone to dust generation.

Such a simple decoration can be completed in one or two months. In this way, Gu Zhe can gradually get rid of the embarrassing situation of having to rent a school laboratory. Gu Zhe also chose to purchase cheap general experimental equipment directly to reduce the proportion of rental equipment as much as possible.

If the school is closed during the summer vacation, or people who come back from other places will not be allowed to use laboratories, Gu Zhe will also conduct research in his own laboratory and be closed and quarantined.

While decorating the laboratory and buying equipment, Gu Zhe has roughly explained the research direction of molded hard mirror materials to be studied in the next stage to his three roommates and Shao Jia.

Let the four of them check the literature first, lay the foundation, and do some preparation work, and basically start to go into full-scale formal experiments starting from April. Gu Zhe also took advantage of this time to conduct an analysis of the current pain points of the industry and lay a preview of some preliminary research papers.

...

After arranging the laboratory affairs, Gu Zhe's second thing was to have a good talk with Liu Kai.

Liu Kai and others, who had previously "free stocking" status, wrote the results of the code "contact lens retail e-commerce platform" in the past few months.

(Note: The technical requirements and indicators given by Gu Zhe are written as a Taobao platform, but what he said to Liu Kai and the others was to "sell contact lenses", which was actually just an excuse)

The results of the inspection are pretty good. Although the website has not been finished, many of the codes look quite clean and the logic is clear.

This is also due to Gu Zhe's management well and his goals and discipline were better at the beginning.

When Gu Zhe started his work, he thought about "these codes will be sold in the future" and did not think he could operate them himself.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to the annotation work when writing code, and strictly requires every coder who takes money to write comments on every module and every code section.

Gu Zhe himself does not know programming, but as a person who has returned from a new life 20 years later, he knows more or less some knowledge of the industry.

What he knew later in life did the least thing programmers didn't like to do was to comment on their newly written code: adding comments was not that helpful to their work, but it was easier for those who took over to get started quickly.

Therefore, some relatively dark coders in later generations often joked there, "not writing comments is to prevent optimization." "The comments are too easy to understand. One day, the boss thinks that you are over 35 years old and you want to change to youth, energy, and low salary, and you have nowhere to cry."

Fortunately, the coders in 2003 did not have such a mentality. The main reason is that the number of coders is still small and the industry is still in a period of rapid development.

Today's grassroots coders can almost certainly embark on management positions in five or ten years, without worrying about the aging of knowledge structure, and being able to fight on the front line of codes will be killed by being unmoved.

Because the bosses do not have the idea of ​​"programmers getting older should replace young people to reduce costs and strengthen overtime work intensity", they do not pay attention to comments and do not pay attention to the backup plan of "leaving a spare tire can replace the current programmer at any time".

It seems that only Gu Zhe paid attention to the annotation work, so there is little resistance to the progress of this matter, and there is no resistance to the people working.

A few seniors who were unwilling to write comments and wrote comments randomly, Gu Zhe learned about it through Liu Kai and then opened it directly. At the same time, they were kind and gave extra money to those seniors who wrote comments well, and internal management conflicts were temporarily suppressed.

On March 10, when Gu Zhe checked Liu Kai's final code, the results seemed quite gratifying.

Gu Zhe didn't wait anymore because he had already received a news from the latest business news in the city:

Just two days ago, there was a new situation in the city's SARS inflow. A group of Alibaba employees who had been to Guangdong Province and participated in the Spring Canton Fair had also experienced cases and their condition had worsened.

And I don’t know who this person had contacted Alibaba during the incubation period after returning to the company, so the entire company was closed and isolated.

Gu Zhe has also read the relevant history in his previous life and knows that this is the starting point when they made up their minds to start working on Taobao. Now they are definitely in urgent discussions and deployment of R&D tasks.

Therefore, Gu Zhe found some channels to get formal contact information, communicate remotely with the other party, and negotiate online, explaining his own situation. He hoped to sell his own code to the other party, and not to make too much money, so everyone would make friends.

Gu Zhe said on the phone: "Boss Ma, I am engaged in the research and development of optical materials. I originally set up a technology company and wanted to produce low-cost, high-value-added standardized lenses and sell them online.

We internally evaluated that such products are most suitable for the 2C e-commerce model: high unit price, high standardization, opaque prices in traditional retail channels, and consumers are very resentful about traditional channels.

However, after we started, we found that our strength was to build an e-commerce website, which was technically not difficult, and the promotion and traffic diversion operation was very difficult. We didn’t want to spend a lot of advertising resources just to sell glasses, and the traffic reuse rate was too low.

Now I just have a source code with a good completion. I heard that you are planning to build the same product. If you are interested, you can offer a price. It is easy for everyone to discuss.

I hope that after your platform is built, you can first invite us to settle in and give our products enough promotional resources - this is not a loss for you, after all, it can have the effect of "Qianjin City".

If the first company to open on your e-commerce retail platform can sell well and create a reputation in the industry, more merchants will join you, right?"

With Gu Zhe's usual strength, of course it is impossible to call Boss Ma directly. After all, he founded Alibaba in 1998 and has worked for five years now. He received 20 million US dollars in financing that year. Gu Zhe only has a few million yuan, and the two sides are not on the same scale.

However, Gu Zhe is in the limelight at the moment. Last week, he just went to the provincial science and technology channel several times in a row. There are many reports about him, and they are also industrial hotspots and examples of political achievements that keep up with current affairs.

Due to the epidemic blockade, Boss Ma has nothing to do in his quarantine residence. Many businesses have stagnated and he will inevitably watch TV every day and watch industry news related to epidemics in the province. Naturally, he saw Gu Zhe’s deeds of building a meltblown production line and being inspected by his leaders.

On TV, Gu Zhe stood in front of Deputy Secretary Zhang and several deputy department-level leaders talking, and the leaders also praised him very much.

One is isolated from the disease, and the other is a great success in the disease. As one rises and the other falls, the counterparts of the cooperation cannot help but raise their judgment on Gu Zhe's strength.

It was just because they couldn't talk offline that the two had to call to reach their initial intention.

Boss Ma didn't bargain much, and the code quality was good and the annotations were clear. The technicians inside Ali also said that the logic was easier to understand, and the usability and remodelability were good.

So he spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy Gu Zhe’s source code costing more than 20,000 yuan, which made Gu Zhe earn a hard work of 100,000 yuan. Alibaba also saved half a month of website building time, and both sides took their own needs.
