33. Personnel disturbance
Early morning on April 6th.
While Lu Zhou was eating breakfast, he re-examined the document he wrote last night. The name Cheng Xuyuan came to his mind.
Lu Zhou and he were roommates. When they were still in Yixian, they once played a prank through the dormitory's network port.
Research in the computer field requires consulting a large amount of foreign literature, and many of these websites need to pass through firewalls to access the external network.
Therefore, most computer science colleges provide cross-border services to computer science students for their academic purposes.
These services are generally limited to the college building and laboratory building, and the same is true for Yixian.
At that time, Lu Zhou and Cheng Xuyuan were doing a research together and needed to consult relevant information.
The two wanted to work in the dormitory, but were unwilling to pay for an agent.
So they did something crazy and penetrated the dormitory building's network to control routing through the dormitory port.
Then, after obtaining the control authority, it calls the cross-wall service of the school network center.
In order to share the good news with everyone, they opened proxy tunnels for the network ports of the entire Zhuyuan Building.
As they rushed to tell each other, the boys in Zhuyuan were naturally in a state of joy.
Watch movies, watch movies, research research.
The in-depth investigation and discussion of various indescribable and exotic customs are out of control.
Naturally, the school network center detected these indescribable traffic.
The school's starting point is good, but it only uses educational methods.
Later, the cross-wall of related academic websites was also opened for Zhuyuan.
If Cheng Xuyuan hadn't fled to the capital to work early after graduation, Lu Zhou would have found him in advance before starting his own business.
Although they had never collaborated with him in starting a business in his previous life, they admired each other through their experiences in school.
In the previous life, Cheng Xuyuan was responsible for the development of the entire backend program by one person for a long period of time during the early days of Toutiao's short video production.
People who know him say the most about him is that he is a "Zhang Xiaolong-like character".
"Let's look at it step by step. Brother Wen hasn't fooled him yet, so he can only think about it more and more."
Lu Zhou rode his bicycle to Yixian University. It was just early nine o'clock when he arrived at 305, and only Wang Zhengye and Tang Yutong's marketing team were in the room.
Since Menggu Advertising went from scratch to internal testing and then to steady iteration in the past few weeks, the Menggu team has been working almost day and night.
Starting last week, Lu Zhou slowed down the work pace of the entire team.
The current 305 overall reflects the natural free atmosphere of Internet companies.
He does not limit the exact time for work and off work. Team members can arrange their working time according to their own time schedule and rest habits.
And considering that if you are always present, "passive overtime" will inevitably occur within 305.
So starting from last week, he would not leave more than eight o'clock every day, so as not to bring unnecessary pressure to others.
"good morning everyone."
"Good morning, senior."
After saying hello, Lu Zhou walked to Wang Zhengye and said, "Good morning. The others are still sleeping."
"Brother Lu, it's good morning. It should be around ten o'clock."
"Are you home for the holidays?"
"No, it's too far. It takes half a day by train. In the past two days, I came to 305 to sit and write when I had nothing to do. The same goes for Brother Qiang and the three of them."
"I'm so diligent, but I'm the most lazy."
"That's not true. They are all here voluntarily. Let's communicate more and learn more."
"Okay, you can make your own arrangements. The work intensity was quite intense some time ago. Will it affect the class?"
"Fortunately for me, I, Fei Wen and Zhou Wen are all juniors and have basically no schoolwork. Maybe Junda and the newcomers Chen Jin and Jiang Chao have more influence. They are now sophomores and there will be seniors next.
There are some courses in all three schools.”
"Okay, let's get busy first. Regarding bananas, there are still many tasks to be done in the document."
"good."
In fact, there are many benefits from setting the location in Yixian at the earliest and selecting staff from current students.
At least judging from the work progress during this period, these team members have completed their tasks well.
But there are disadvantages after all. The most important one is that as a student, you still have homework to complete.
Earlier, due to the tight development schedule, they might have had to choose to take leave or skip classes to work in 305.
Of course, team members need to adjust their own time during this process, and now that Dream Valley Advertising has passed the closed beta period, there is no need to rush for time.
Members can coordinate their time with each other to take care of their studies.
This level is sufficient for Menggu Advertising, after all, costs must be reduced in the early stage.
However, if Luzhou wants to promote the regular development of WeChat in the future, continuing to use interns to form the team and complete the work will inevitably affect the development progress.
WeChat is no better than Menggu Advertising, the complexity and difficulty of functional logic have increased exponentially.
Although the team that Penguin is secretly developing prestige is not taken seriously at the moment. In the earliest version, there were only a dozen team members and nearly half were interns.
But Penguin’s prestige is Zhang Xiaolong!
There are Penguin’s entire back-end technical staff and research team!
There is a code base accumulated over more than ten years!
Lu Zhou didn't dare to underestimate the enemy. He couldn't recruit any more sophomore interns.
To develop the regular functions of WeChat, Lu Zhou’s plan yesterday was to recruit fresh graduates from the same class as Fang Qiang.
But in doing so, we have to face a difficulty: the school's fall recruitment and spring recruitment time have already passed.
Most of the good prospects among fresh graduates have been scooped up by large companies in advance, and the appeal of Menggu itself is now very limited.
If Lu Zhou is not willing to give in, then he may not be able to get anyone.
At half past nine, Meng Xiaoqin also arrived at 305, and she found Lu Zhou.
"Senior, there may be some changes in the team members."
"Oh? What should I say?"
"They are Chen Jin and Jiang Chao, new students from the development team. Their absenteeism rate in last week's class was a bit high, so the counselor came to ask them before the holiday. They just told me about this today and expressed their thoughts.
Willingness to leave your job.”
Lu Zhou couldn't help but secretly thought that the problem he was worried about still appeared. He said to Meng Xiaoqin, "Okay, it's not a big deal. Once approved, the salary will be paid to them as per day."
At first, Luzhou selected developers based on their ability not to be defined by grade, but based on whether their personality and learning ability fit Menggu.
But now it seems that this is no longer realistic. People like Dong Junda who are really obsessed with technology may be willing to skip classes and take leave to come to Dream Valley.
But then selecting based on this standard will inevitably increase the mobility of people in Menggu.
"Where's Huang Dong?"
"Senior, Brother Dong is in his third year of college. I will see him come to 305 during this holiday, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Lu Zhou also smiled after hearing this, "Why do you even come here during the holiday? 305, your job is not like development, there is no need to come here during the holiday."
Meng Xiaoqin smiled slyly, "Xiaotong, she said to come over and see if the seniors are hungry. Not the seniors, not including Senior Fang."
"..."
Tang Yutong screamed, "Xiao Qin!"
"Um, do you have any other questions?"
"Yes, Director Yuan, who is in charge of entrepreneurship in your college, just informed me that he wants you to go there."
Lu Zhou then thought about it and realized that it was probably Yuan Haizhou who was using Chen Jinjiang to supersede the two of them.
Chapter completed!
