Chapter 75 On the first day of 2012, two seeds were sown
Although the official meeting is over, the official business of the day is not over yet.
As Bolang becomes more formalized, it will become less and less common for everyone to rush in on it.
This meeting is about general direction, and specific matters are about personal direction.
Back at the general manager's office, as soon as Wen Liang took a sip of hot tea, Sun Baoyin walked in alone.
Sun Baoyin walked to the opposite side of Wen Liang holding the thermos cup, sat on the chair in front of the desk, and said gently: "Don't waste your energy, let's take the initiative."
Wen Liang glanced at Sun Baoyin and laughed: "Don't be so proactive. Give me a breather."
Sun Baoyin just looked at Wen Liang quietly.
Wen Liang was not surprised. After sorting it out for a while, he said: "As a chief technical engineer, I have a lot of work and it is complicated. I guess you and Xiao Li will be a little busy working together."
"There are several main development tasks in the first quarter."
“The first is the preparation work for the mobile game business. What needs to be understood is the development status of foreign mobile games, domestic trends, the general situation of the domestic smartphone market, etc.;
Although the 4G standard will be finalized, it will not be fully rolled out soon. Although the so-called mobile Internet era has arrived, user demand has not yet exploded. Therefore, the mobile game business we want to promote must be small and beautiful, and we must also pay attention to meeting the needs of the Chinese people.
Habit."
"I can only give a general direction in this regard, such as big IP, small production, and easy to get started. This is different from Xiaocheng Book. We can only test the waters one by one."
"In the preparation process, we must consider the current situation of the domestic game market. For example, the current giant in the development and operation of client games is Goose Factory Games, with a market share of well over 50%..."
After talking about the mobile game business, Wen Liang returned to Xiaocheng Book: "The technical layer of the e-commerce module based on Xiaocheng Book platform must be led by you. In addition to e-commerce, technical reserves in social and other aspects must also be gradually advanced.
.”
"Although the company does not have many full-time development engineers, last year we specially recruited more than 300 part-time outsourced developers from the school, which can be used reasonably. Of course, the core modules must be in our own hands."
Finally, Wen Liang made a summary: "In short, the software R&D department has been the core department for a long time. It must be able to get started at any time no matter which business segment the company enters!
This will test the technical reserves of you and Xiao Li, especially you. Every new software engineering business requires you to take the lead in finalizing the core technical framework."
Sun Baoyin put down the thermos cup and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, what I am good at now is many and wide. Every item is proficient in a general sense. It is my pursuit to move from broad knowledge to mastery."
Having said this, Sun Baoyin looked at Wen Liang and smiled: "Thank you for inviting me to start a business, otherwise I would be at a disadvantage when I go to work, and the company will only think that I am big but not professional, and knowledgeable but not good."
"Haha..." Wen Liang also smiled.
Later, Sun Baoyin added: "I accidentally saw some video interviews with some big guys a few days ago. They all believe that the opportunities of mobile Internet will exceed that of PC Internet. What do you think of this?"
Wen Liang laughed when he heard this: "I think the next ten years will be dominated by the mobile Internet, and the same is true for us..."
Glancing at Sun Baoyin, Wen Liangyi pointed out: "For ordinary people, choice may be more important than hard work. For example, if you buy a house early, you can taste the dividends of the development of the general environment."
Sun Baoyin frowned slightly and nodded slowly.
He understood what Wen Liang meant. He could mention this to his relatives and friends. If you just need to get in the car quickly, it would be better if you can save some effort.
"..."
After Sun Baoyin left the office, Wang Wanyu walked in.
Wen Liang didn't know how everyone arranged it.
Seeing Wang Wanyu, Wen Liang couldn't help but chuckle, and said in a casual tone: "The option exercise period model is set in batches, part of it is two years, and part of it is three years."
Wang Wanyu burst out laughing.
She didn't ask any questions, turned around and left the office.
Then came Chen Jiaxin, and Wen Liang only said that the planning of the new office area should be considered in the longer term.
…………
None of Li Ze, Tang Pu, Li Bowen, Wang Zhiyi, and Zhao Mingjie entered the office.
Li Ze and Tang Pu knew where the focus of their work was, and Li Bowen also knew that if they cooperated with Sun Baoyin, they would be done.
Wang Zhiyi and Zhao Mingjie know better what direction they should work towards, algorithm, algorithm, algorithm!
Finally, Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng walked into the office.
As soon as Qin Zheng, who had always been prim and serious, walked in, his tall and strong figure was like a shadow covering Wen Liang sitting on the chair.
Looking at the old-fashioned and serious Qin Zheng on the left and the melancholic Zhang Yulin on the right, Wen Liang smiled and waved, asking the two to sit down first.
Wen Liang first refilled a glass of water for himself, then poured glasses for the two of them, and said straight to the point: "Among the contents mentioned in the communiqué of the State Council, are there any technical product directions that you are interested in?"
Qin Zheng is very upright: "There are so many threads and ideas, but I can't find the end."
Zhang Yulin just shrugged, saying that he had no specific idea.
Seeing this, Wen Liang said bluntly: "Actually, you two have a lot of fantastic ideas in the technical field. Most of your time was wasted on writing code before."
"The two aspects of information technology supporting technology and basic electronics industry in the communiqué are the big circles I have drawn for you."
Qin Zheng and Zhang Yulin nodded silently.
Wen Liang continued: "Lao Zhang, go and study the underlying information support technology, such as embedded operating systems and the like."
"Xiao Qin, researching core hardware in the direction of consumer electronics based on basic electronics industry research..."
At this point, Wen Liang explained: "I have carefully sorted out the information and found that the basic electronics industry in the bulletin can actually be regarded as consumer electronics. They all say that in the era of mobile Internet, the demand for mobile smart devices will definitely explode year after year, such as Xiaomi
The sensation caused by the release of Xiaomi mobile phone in Beijing a few months ago is a clear example."
Qin Zheng nodded again.
Wen Liang looked at the two men and said bluntly: "In short, in the industrial transformation plan of the State Council, which belongs to the category of consumer electronics, you can study whatever you like. You don't have to worry about other things. As long as there are research results, I will
You will be able to find a business market where you can land it, form a positive feedback contribution, and support you to continue to follow your interests and hobbies!"
Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng each breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "I understand."
Afterwards, Wen Liang stood up and walked out of the desk, stood behind the two of them, and patted their shoulders: "Don't be stressed."
"The exploration of new businesses falls entirely on you, which is indeed not easy, but you just need to remember that all the company's business development at this stage will ultimately ensure the smooth progress of your exploration work."
Qin Zheng: "!!!"
Zhang Yulin: "!!!"
Wen Liang smiled slightly: "It's not a joke that the Internet business needs to make up lessons to develop, it is really necessary to build core competitiveness."
After saying that, Wen Liang said calmly and patiently: "From today on, you don't have to come to the company often. You can stay in school more and do research within the company. There is no such atmosphere and no creativity."
"Looking at home and abroad, most of the outstanding results at the basic research level are born in universities. Let's not talk about those long-standing and famous examples. Let's talk about a relatively recent one. In May... the newly released full-scale research results in May last year
Open Source Instruction Set Day SC-V was initially born out of a small summer project in March carried out by a temporarily formed team of four when two professors at UC Berkeley started a new project and found that the existing instruction set was very complex.
The first version was officially launched within a year.”
"Our school has a lot of experience in science and engineering. The professors, classmates, and seniors in the school are all willing to do research."
"With our current status as students and the achievements we have made, we can easily join some research teams."
"Professors, seniors, classmates and even professors and students from other schools will be your helpers. Don't rush to take the lead at the beginning, take your time. After all, you have Bolang's backing and financial advantages, and sooner or later you will be able to lead the research direction.
"
Qin Zheng and Zhang Yulin both understood that the reason why Wen Liang spoke in such detail was to guide them on how to start.
At best, Xiao Qin is incapable of adapting to the world's worldly affairs, and he is not a fool.
Qin Zheng took the lead and nodded heavily: "I understand, I will work hard and not let everyone down."
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Zhang Yulin looked very relaxed.
As Wen Liang said, this is not pressure, but an arrangement that really stimulates their passion.
…………
In short, on the first day of 2012, Wen Liang arranged the company's general direction plan for the year in a systematic and detailed manner, just like a chef doing his work.
Sun Baoyin is mainly responsible for the overall leadership of Bolang's business software development for a long time.
Everyone else has their own specific affairs.
The core arrangement was that Wen Liang set a relatively broad direction for Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng, allowing them to follow their whims and go back to school to study as they pleased.
Although the so-called broad directions are actually specified.
For example, Zhang Yulin started from bottom-level development to explore embedded operating systems.
For example, Qin Zheng is exploring core hardware research work in the field of consumer electronics starting from bottom-level development.
The company's arrangement is very simple. The two of them ask for money, and they ask the person to find a solution on his own. If the problem cannot be solved, the company will step in to help solve the problem.
Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng are not stupid. They know the specific situation of the company. They will not clamor for how much R&D funding they need from the beginning. Instead, they will work hard first with their own and the team's good expectations for the future -
:Embedded operating system, conceptually speaking, all operating systems that are not used for general-purpose PCs are embedded systems. For example, the iOS/Android model is an embedded system. This is mentioned in the timeline of the book.
