A busy and orderly month with no big winds or waves is about to come to an end.
This month Bolang has proactively entered a period of stable development.
All matters have made relatively clear progress.
Among them, Lixia cooperates with the Human Resources Department to sort out internal system issues.
There is a small problem here.
The internal communication software that was originally going to be offline in the near future will be launched about a month later. The main reason is that the developers in the R&D department do not have enough energy at this stage and there are too many online projects.
On the contrary, the original plan to recruit 600 fresh graduates through the spring recruitment was more successful than expected, and 669 people were selected.
The exact number of people who will be hired will not be determined until the end of August.
Social recruitment work has not fallen behind in May. Bolang's current number of employees has increased to 832, excluding 669 fresh graduates who have not yet joined the company.
Chen Jiaxin and Wang Wanyu are in charge of various matters such as the decoration of IFC's new office area, and plan to move in in early August.
Bolang has rented an office area with a total of more than 16,000 square meters on five floors in IFC. Based on an average office space of 5 square meters per person, it is preset to accommodate 3,000 people.
The rent is 300 yuan/square meter/month, that is: 4.8 million yuan per month.
This is also the space with the largest number of layers connected together in IFC.
According to the current development, the existing office area of Yinhui Building will continue to be rented, and will definitely be developed into regional offices in the future.
Wen Liang read through the administrative report documents and muttered: "According to the company's business development, I am afraid we will have to prepare to build an office building."
…
Later, Wen Liang attended a business launch meeting.
After half a year of preparation work, the e-commerce App will be launched tomorrow. In addition, Xiaocheng Book will cooperate to push a major version update.
Namely: Xiaocheng Book 3.0.
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Bowen from the product department led his colleagues to report.
"Version 3.0 has made major changes. The bottom navigation bar has been changed to five buttons, in order: [Home], [Chat], [+], [Discover], [Me]."
"In addition, the top bar of [Home Page] is designed with four buttons: [Follow], [Recommend], [Works], and [Search]."
"..."
More specific information includes:
The main window of the [Chat] column is the chat information list.
The top bar is also designed with buttons: [Search Box], [+].
The former is used to search for content chatting with friends, and the latter also includes two submenus: [Add Friends] and [Address Book].
The [+] column at the bottom is for creating original content for the entire Xiaocheng Book site.
There are two sub-modules in the [Discovery] column: [Friends Circle] and [Hot Sales].
[I] This column integrates [Personal Information], [Payment], [Settings] and other sub-functional modules.
Yes, this version 3.0 also adds Xiaocheng Payment in the Hui payment system.
There are many gentle contributions to product design.
His ideas basically come from taking shortcuts.
After the colleagues in the product department completed their report, Li Bowen concluded enthusiastically: "The entry into communication and social networking was a little hasty before, and many product logics were not perfect. Now this version is the finished product we really want to come up with."
Li Ze praised from the side: "This is really good, the logical framework of product design is very clear!"
Other participants also expressed their opinions.
"The most intuitive change in version 3.0 is to elevate social communication to the same level as the public social square, or even to a higher level. This will make WeChat very nervous."
“The integration is also very good.”
indeed.
Version 3.0 homepage search integrates a small number of search engine functions. Of course, this part is still far from perfect and requires more time to accumulate.
The [Hot Selling] sub-module integrated in the discovery column, which is the new name of the e-commerce business, is called: Hot Selling Mall.
However, what you enter from the Xiaocheng Book Discovery Page [Hot Sale] is not a complete mall, but a web page based on HTML5.
Wen Liang, who attended the meeting, commented from beginning to end: "Not bad."
Wen Liang has not been very involved in witnessing the official launch of large and small networking businesses for a long time.
First, there are too many online businesses for him to take care of.
First, when it comes to the official launch, it will be the same with or without him.
This time it was for Li Bowen's sake.
Because Bowen will gradually take over the position of product department manager in June, he has ended his training.
It can be seen from his enthusiastic posture just now that the training effect is good, and it is much better than the boring one before.
This is how May ends.
…………
…………
June 1st, Friday, Children’s Day.
it's clear.
Li Rang doesn't need to go to kindergarten.
In the morning, as soon as Wang Wanyu left the room after breakfast, Li Rang's eyes started to roll, and his excitement was palpable.
She is still a child and she is celebrating a holiday today!
Wen Liang was still eating breakfast slowly.
Li Rang was not in a hurry, it was still early.
It just so happened that she could think about where to go and how to play in the morning.
After thinking about it, and seeing Wen Liang eating breakfast slowly, Li Rang suddenly sucked his lips: "Go catch the doll."
Seeing this, Liang smiled gently and responded.
It has been almost half a year since Li Rang came to Yangcheng, and he has already visited all the places he should go.
To be honest, Li Rang is only slightly interested in going to Hong Kong Disneyland again.
For her, nothing else is as fun as shopping and eating.
Wen Liang was also happy to take Li Rang out to eat.
As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I walked around in Yangcheng. Not to mention traveling thousands of miles, there are always hundreds of miles.
It doesn't matter if it's useful or not.
Later, Wen Liang and Li Rang happily went out to celebrate Children's Day.
Let's just say that the so-called scumbag doesn't like to celebrate the holidays, maybe it's just because he has more than one partner, and it's troublesome to deal with him.
If you don’t believe it, look at Wen Liang’s bright smile now. How does it look like he doesn’t like to celebrate the holidays?
…
Walk out of the community from the small gate on the west and cross over to Xiancun Road.
Li Rang, who was holding the little finger of Wen Liang's right hand, pointed diagonally across the street: "Brother, do you know what the fenced-off place is over there? Some classmates in the class said it was something like that, and it was spooky inside."
Looking in the direction of Li Rang's finger, Wen Liang replied casually: "Don't listen to your classmates' nonsense, it's just a bad construction site."
Li Rang snorted and chirped: "No wonder it's different from the others."
Wen Liang followed up and said: "Yes, the construction site of Huacheng Square is unfinished, unlike here where the East Tower is almost finished."
Then, Wen Liang suddenly stopped.
He looked again at the area surrounded by construction barriers that Li Rang was curious about.
Seeing this, Li Rang looked up at Wen Liang curiously: "What's wrong?"
Wen Liang looked back and smiled: "It's okay, let's go."
Taking Li Rang for a walk in the shopping mall in the city center.
However, Wen Liang has a lot of thoughts in his mind right now.
What Li Rang was curious about just now was actually different from what Wen Liang remembered.
Just because he lived in Xinyu Garden for seven or eight years in his previous life, he subconsciously thought that area was an unfinished building. In fact, it was still a wasteland and the site was not evened out.
Later, that place had a name on the map: Brother Headquarters.
And its current name should be: Plot B2-11 of Zhujiang New Town.
It is a rather special unfinished building.
Wen Liang doesn’t know the specifics behind the scenes. I heard someone from a brother unit say that it seemed to be a serious flaw in the design that caused the company to be stopped.
However, it lasted for six or seven years, and there was no sign of revitalization until Wen Liang was reborn.
You must know that this B2-11 plot is a prime plot next to the central axis of Zhujiang New City. It is the last piece of commercial land on the central axis. Its geographical location is extremely advantageous and scarce.
Last year in June 2011, it was auctioned by a real estate company for 1.28 billion yuan, which was 300 million yuan more than the starting price.
According to normal development, it will inevitably become an unfinished building.
However, Wen Liang just had an idea.
Yesterday I was thinking about building an office building in the future, but now this place is really suitable for Bolang to use as a headquarters building.
Although the area is only over 5,900 square meters, with a contract of 8.9 acres, the allowed construction area can reach 100,000 square meters, and it can be built up to 180 meters high, which is quite spectacular.
It is certainly more than enough to serve as a headquarters building.
From the preparation of funds to purchase land, design, construction and other processes, if everything goes well, we will be able to move in around early 2015, which is in line with Bolang's appearance at that time.
Wen Liang always takes one step and looks at the other five.
Because he knows that he has too many shortcuts to take, after Bolang passes the initial stage, it will definitely develop very rapidly.
Spending more than 10 billion to buy land and build buildings is not a small expenditure for Bolang, but... there is still room for maneuver.
In short, in the process of taking Li Rang shopping for food, the plan was already in place.
…………
Before noon, Wen Liang walked into the Silver Gray Building with Li Rang holding his belly in both hands.
In fact, Li Rang didn't eat much.
Moreover, she was growing tall now, so she would digest the food without paying attention.
There are two reasons for holding a small belly: to check whether Wang Wanyu will notice it, and also because she is used to it.
It was still working time. Wen Liang thought about it and decided not to take Li Rang to the 9th floor, but to 716.
716 is still where Wang Zhiyi and Zhao Mingjie are based.
Xiao Wang felt that this place where Bolangmeng started inspired him, and it was easy for him to make breakthroughs in the algorithm.
Xiao Zhao, let me accompany you.
Of course, Xiao Zhao has now handed over those very practical game numerical planning to some developers in the mobile game business group. It is okay to go to the R&D office area, and he prefers to be in 716.
The main reason is that 716 can be a little quieter.
When I go to the R&D office area, I feel more or less calm.
Seeing Li Rang, Wang Zhiyi stood up and shouted: "Hoo yo ho yo, little Li Rang is here!"
"Hello, Brother Wang." Li Rang greeted him abruptly.
"Hello, little brother Zhao."
Wang Zhiyi greeted enthusiastically: "What are you doing today on Children's Day?"
He still hasn't found a suitable partner to give him a baby, nor has he found a way to have a daughter before getting married.
"I won't tell you." Li Rang rolled his eyes and answered seriously.
"..."
After Li Rang arrived, Wang Zhiyi felt that the air in the office seemed to be brighter.
…………
At the same time, Bolang’s series of actions in the morning have already made the Internet feel like it’s Chinese New Year.
Among them, Xiaocheng Shu, whose app version has been greatly updated, is the most popular.
The well-known Xiaocheng Book user ‘Wanfengxiangyun’ updated the status and invited a large number of users to participate in the discussion on ‘Little Cheng Book 3.0’.
"This version update is very big, the interaction is very good, and it is very smooth to use."
"The experience is good, the functional modules are complete, not eye-catching, there are everything that should be included, and there is nothing that shouldn't be included, and there is no insistence on stuffing hot-selling shopping malls into Xiaocheng Book."
"This is basically the ultimate development of social form. Goose Factory is probably going to cry this time!"
"..."
"Before Xiaochengshu developed instant chat, I always thought that the domestic environment could not produce a more comprehensive product like Facebook, and I was not used to Facebook's interactive logic. Now I see that it is actually possible."
"You missed the point. In the PC era, QQ was the dominant instant messaging company. There were other products similar to Facebook, but they were not well-known. Now we are in the era of smartphones. Even Goose Factory has launched WeChat.
Originally, after the number of WeChat users exceeded 100 million, it was basically a conclusion, but who would have thought that Xiaocheng Shu would suddenly emerge as a new force!"
“Bo Lang is still the best!!”
"..."
Xiaochengshu, which started out as a platform for female users, naturally has more users discussing the ‘hot selling mall’.
Among them are users such as the more active ‘Genius Girl Xiaoqi’.
"After holding it in for a long time, I can finally say it. Last month we knew that Xiaocheng Shu was going to be a shopping platform. Haha, 'Your love is selling like hotcakes', it's absolutely amazing!"
"Indeed, Bolang chose the slogan of this advertisement very well. The sentence 'Your love is selling hot' will be remembered instantly."
"Actually, what I find most irresistible is the 601 good items collectively recommended by 'Yaqi' and the other good item recommenders. I can't help but buy them."
"It's different for me. I have downloaded the hot-selling mall and the experience is not bad. Especially the payment process is a bit too convenient. I can actually directly call Xiaocheng Book to pay!"
Genius girl Xiaoqi: "I won't say more, my love is really selling like hotcakes!" -
