Chapter 60 The real opponent

My girlfriend's parents wanted to know where their daughter would work in the future, and it was a coincidence that a school came to visit.

Most students come in groups of about five people, with a total of about 20 people. The scope of the visit does not include the fans' home, and these children will not be taken to see the operation of any Internet cafe.

The areas of real value are still in the editorial departments of "Jingxi Metropolis Daily" and "Zhiyin Zatan", where half of Jinxi Culture's full-time employees are concentrated.

The second is a separate office area for programmers. There are nearly 20 people in the office. In addition to the technical team, there are also product designers, artists, copywriters, reviewers, etc. Most of them have one person holding multiple positions, and they also need to help each other at work.

, coordinate with each other.

The students who visited were not only very concerned about the work format, but also had a good trial experience of the comprehensive portal website after the revision. Then there were the chess and card games and battle platforms that the company was developing, as well as the "Three Kingdoms" game that was progressing relatively smoothly.

.

Boys, in particular, seem to be very fond of this kind of strategy game. The promotional oil paintings and computer animations used for demonstrations in the exhibition area attracted too much attention.

Female students are very fond of the leisure and fitness area next to the office area.

Leaving aside the scale for now, at least in the eyes of teachers and students, Jinxi Culture is a small, beautiful, and powerful cultural and technology company with good salary, not depressing office environment, and fairly interesting work content.

Li Xuan, Cao Heng and Li Leping's family, who happened to be meeting, also followed the team and walked around from beginning to end. Jin Shang took the lead in explaining, and Li Xuan helped from time to time.

After a long time, Mr. Li and Ms. Cao Heng seemed satisfied.

“There are a lot of young people and they look very energetic.”

Li Leping probably didn't know much about culture and technology. He could only understand newspapers and magazines, but he really couldn't understand the Internet, video games, and instant messaging.

Therefore, we can only judge whether this company has a future based on its atmosphere.

"It's not like a grassroots team where a young man from a rich family recklessly starts a business to prove his ability. If you choose this line of work - the Internet has real prospects, you can hope to make a career. But..."

In Jinshang's general manager's office, Cao Heng looked at the fairly tidy office, and then looked at the employees coming and going outside the door.

"Are you a bit masculine?"

"ah?"

Jin Shang couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

Does this mean that there are too few male employees in the company?

"This... I have actually noticed this problem, because the current main business is indeed more friendly to female employees, so it is indeed a bit unbalanced."

"It's good that Xiao Jin can understand. I am also a relatively open-minded woman. Because of this, I understand more clearly what problems a team will encounter if the yin is too strong and the yang is weak. For example, a receptionist at the front desk can be removed.

Little girl, put on a sunny and handsome boy. Cleaning doesn’t have to be big.

Mom, even a strong old man can do the job. As for editors, the work pressure is actually quite high. Women can occasionally be too emotional. Male employees need to be balanced. Otherwise, you will find that the articles in newspapers, magazines and websites are very tendentious and attractive.

Female readers, but not very friendly to male readers..."

Listening to Cao Heng looking and talking, Jin Shang lowered his voice and whispered in Li Xuan's ear:

"What did your mother do before? She has a lot of human resources management skills, and she also knows a lot about people and the world. Was she ever a senior executive of a large company?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of it! Does taking care of tea gardens, breeding farms, fruit and vegetable bases and wineries in the countryside count?"

"Okay, I probably understand!"

Jin Shang thought that Li Xuan was just the daughter of a wealthy family with some influence in her hometown, but she didn't expect that.

Those who plow a few acres of thin fields with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky are called farmers. Those who own a large plain and do mechanized planting without touching the spring water are called farmers.

They all have the word "farmer" in them, and their essences are similar, but are they the same thing?

The capital to settle down and make a living is to be deeply involved in the fields of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It may not be as profitable and explosive as emerging industries such as the Internet. It is better to be stable and reliable, and to be able to transcend the shackles of the times and watch the rise and fall without falling.

Although Li Xuan's mother, Cao Heng, does not necessarily have many brilliant ideas on how to manage a modern company, she has been at the helm of traditional family businesses and workshops and is a woman herself, so she understands that there are more female employees than male employees.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having less?

After talking a lot, Cao Hengcai concluded:

"In terms of drive and ambition, young men do have to be more ambitious, and little girls may not be unenthusiastic, but they may be more interested in enjoying life, dressing up, looking for love, and finding a husband after making enough money.

Take heart."

There are special cases, but they do not represent a universal phenomenon. Men are more inclined to career, success and the realization of self-worth; women view the world more emotionally, and their physical weaknesses also limit their performance in certain fields.

No matter how you defend it, the fact that cannot be refuted is that women’s wages in the workplace are indeed lower than men’s, but why do many entrepreneurs still prefer to recruit male employees?

It was really too complicated to explain it clearly. Cao Heng didn't want to instill too many big principles into the "prospective son-in-law". He just pointed out this small shortcoming and asked Jin Shang to consider solving it himself.

"It's normal for young people to want to start a career and not want to follow the footsteps of their elders. If they don't try it out themselves, they won't be willing to give it a try. It's okay for my Xuanxuan to follow you, but I hope you don't

Too persistent. Career is just a part of life. Don’t bet the rest of your life on it. The future is very long and it’s not worth losing everything. If it doesn’t work out, get out in time. You are still young and there is no need to hang yourself from a tree..."

"Thank you, auntie, I will pay attention."

Jin Shang sincerely thanked Cao Heng for his kind words. Unless he really cared, he would not say so many unflattering words that could easily offend others.

Li Leping sat on the boss's chair and turned around a few times. He seemed to feel quite comfortable. When he saw that several people had finished talking, he smiled happily and said:

"Okay, let's not interfere too much in the affairs of young people. Today's world is changing too fast. It was not like this when I came to the capital last time."

Speaking of nostalgia, Li Leping was also very emotional. However, today's occasion is not a good place for small talk.

"It's almost done. It's time for us to leave. I see you are quite busy here, so don't affect your work. In the afternoon, we have to talk to the design company and quickly decorate the newly purchased house for Xuanxuan.

I have a place to live. Since I plan to stay in the capital to work, I can’t always rent a house.”

Isn't it possible to live with Jin Shang?

It's pretty close anyway.

There was something in his mind, but Xiao Jin didn't have the nerve to say it, so he turned to Li Xuan and asked:

"Do you have a driver's license? If you don't know how to drive, learn how to drive quickly..."

"I got it the year before last, before you did!"

Li Xuan raised her chin proudly, as if she was particularly proud of outdoing her boyfriend.

"Okay!"

At least you don't have to worry about this little thing.

Next, a few people walked around and talked a lot. At noon, they went to a nearby small restaurant and ordered some home-cooked dishes. After a meal, Li Xuan and her family left first.

It's been a while since they left home. Because they were in a hurry and things at home were not fully arranged, Cao Heng and Li Leping planned to fly back on Sunday night.

Take advantage of these two days to settle Li Xuan's life before you can leave with peace of mind.

Jin Shang, who had settled a worry, returned to the company and saw Huang Yiyi preparing a working meal for the visiting teachers and students.

I looked at my schedule for the afternoon and found that I have a little more room.

The more important thing is that there is only one internal training for employees, which covers the use of commonly used computer software and forward-looking guidance on electronic and information-based office work.

Nowadays, many of the white-collar workers in China can use computers to type, but not many can use the latest office software well. Especially the new employees and employees who have been promoted from the grassroots, most of them are relatively unfamiliar with computer operations.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to conduct a series of internal training to enhance the capabilities of company employees.

After a two-hour lunch break, Jin Shang used super high efficiency to finish the backlog of work, and then took a look at the dynamics of his direct competitor, Information Space-Time Network.

It’s no wonder that Jin Shang didn’t take this website seriously. To log in to the Information Space-Time Network, he actually had to download a special program and use it to enter it normally. Not only that, this thing cannot be directly connected through the browser.

Based on this, Jin Shang felt that there was something wrong with the idea of ​​building his website. He kept it hidden and kept it secret, and built a high wall to surround it, preventing external links from accessing it at will.

If you really regard the one-third of an acre of land under your feet as the entirety of the Internet, you will have to finish it sooner or later if you are enjoying yourself.

It took nearly a minute and a lot of operations to enter the Information Space-Time Network. The first impression Jin Shang had on the interface was that it was very bad, with all the bells and whistles but no point.

It seems to be all-inclusive and has everything, but in fact it is not attractive at all, and the update speed is very slow. Today's content is almost the same as last week's content.

Putting aside whether the browsing netizens can find the content they are interested in, the stability of the network is crazy poor, the page loading speed is extremely slow, and the connection is dropped from time to time.

At this level, and having the guts to charge fees, you are simply fooling netizens into thinking they are fools.

Moreover, the content of this information space network gives Jin Shang an extremely uncomfortable feeling. It seems that it has always been on the highest point, educating netizens about what the Internet is and how to play. It is your honor to spend money to come here.

Moreover, they also gave the answer in their own words, the Internet is the information space-time network; I teach you how to play, and you can play how to play; the historical mission of this website is to open up a new era of the Internet, and netizens can just pay for consumption.

Most of the content on the Information Space-Time Network is like looking at the highlights on the activity bulletin board at the entrance of the community mass service center. The media attributes and entertainment attributes are so low that it is jaw-dropping.

In Jin Shang's opinion, the government service websites in the previous life did not dare to be so perfunctory, and the short essays to promote public accounts were published more diligently than this website.

Of course, during this visit, Jin Shang still discovered something new.

A message was posted on the homepage of Information Space-Time.com that the website will end its trial operation on September 30th and will be officially fully launched. All currently restricted functions will be open.

In addition, it is also preparing to launch a large-scale main propaganda column called "Gyeonggi One Hundred Years" costing tens of millions, taking into account both commercial value and cultural tradition, and conducting patriotic propaganda and education to primary and secondary school students across the country.

It’s education again!

Seeing this series of publicity campaigns, Jin Shang roughly understood how Jingcheng Technology Co., Ltd. positioned its own Information Space-Time Network.

"They haven't even touched the core truth of the IT industry. The strategic direction is wrong. The harder they work, the faster they will die."

Jingcheng Technology understands technology, publicity, and policy, but it doesn’t understand commercialization.
