Chapter 88 Popularity soars
"Did you write this banner?"
"No, this is written by my dad. I can't tell you my words, and I can't write big words."
"No wonder, I just said that this word is powerful and powerful, and it is full of muscles and bones. It cannot be written without decades of skill."
Wang Xingguo, Vice Governor of Sanjiang Province, walked out of the conference center, looked up at the banner of the "First China Internet Conference" hanging between the two stone pillars, chatted with Du Qiu for a few words, and said, "Xiao Du, what you just said is very good, easy to understand and thought-provoking. When is there any time? Go to the Provincial Party School to give provincial young cadres a lecture to popularize the knowledge of the Internet and high-tech."
Du Qiu was slightly stunned. He was a political novice and had always stayed away from the mysterious institutions of the Party School. He didn't know how to respond. Chen Zhiyang, who was standing next to him, saw this and said, "Governor Wang, it's a coincidence. Our Sanjiang University just sent Du Qiu a letter of appointment a few days ago and asked him to give an open lecture on the Internet next semester. One guest should not bother the two of us. Why not cooperate with us to work together?"
"Oh? That's fine. Sanjiang University's teaching conditions are better than that of the Party School. Let's leave this matter to you." Wang Xingguo seemed to have a good relationship with Chen Zhiyang, nodded and said, "I'll send me a copy of the course schedule at that time. If I have time, I will listen."
Chen Zhiyang has been having a happy couple recently. First, Snapdragon's valuation surged, which caused his family property to soar. Then, the real president of Sanjiang University accidentally fell while taking a shower. Yu Xing made him a real collaborator of this Internet conference, and he expanded his connections. Therefore, he was in a good mood and joked with a smile: "Sanjiang University has never confiscated old students over 50 years old. If Governor Wang comes to attend the class, he must prepare a generous gift as tuition."
"There is no gift, at most two cigarettes for you." Wang Xingguo laughed, then shook hands with Hu Qiheng, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and said politely: "Director Hu, professors, I am a rude man and I know nothing about computers. I won't disturb you from holding an academic conference. Let's say goodbye first and wait until the evening to welcome you."
"Governor Wang, you are polite."
Wang Xing was of high power and had a lot of affairs. He quickly left with several bureaucrats. As soon as he left, the opening ceremony officially ended. The next schedule was divided into two. Non-computer majoring in computer science and media reporters went to Sanjiang University to attend various gatherings, while experts and professional media reporters visited the Snapdragon headquarters and held an academic seminar.
"Boss 8, can you take a photo together?"
"Come on, everyone is together, there are so many people."
"Where is the brother who made a bet with Boss 8? Come and take photos together to keep a souvenir, so as not to lose money in 5 years."
Seeing this, Chen Zhiyang and Liu Yunlai greeted the professors and reporters to leave first, while Du Qiu became a mascot and took photos with a group of netizens at the entrance of the conference center. It was almost impossible to move forward. It was not until Bai Yuquan brought a few interns to rescue the situation and said that only the last bus was left, so that netizens could get on the bus quickly, so that they could get out.
"The buses that experts and journalists have already set off?"
"Well, they left first, and this should be almost at the company."
"Where are those from Kingsoft? Should I go to Sanjiang University to attend an event or visit the company?"
"They went to the company to visit and were also on the bus." Bai Yuquan was a little vigilant and said, "There are several employees in the office software department who dug from Kingsoft. Should you ask Mr. Yang to give them a vacation and avoid it?"
In the past, Snapdragon management was relatively casual, and the whole company would have a holiday when holding various events. However, after Yang Fan took office, the management began to be regularized. August 18th was Friday, which was not a holiday, so only interns and employees related to the Internet Conference attended the opening ceremony. The rest of the people had to go to work honestly. Even senior executives like Qin Mu did not attend the opening ceremony, so naturally no one in the office software department dared to escape.
"It doesn't matter, let them visit. Our office software architecture is completely different from WPS. Even if we see the code, we can't steal it. Besides, we are planning to acquire Kingsoft now, so there is no need to be a thief."
"Then I have a little bit of a villain."
The sun was very big on that day, and the temperature exceeded 32 degrees Celsius. He commanded hundreds of people to evacuate their physical strength in an orderly manner. Bai Yuquan was sweating all the time, so he took out a white handkerchief and wiped it gently on his forehead. Du Qiu saw that he was wearing a white shirt and gray trousers and a brand new Longines mechanical watch on his wrist. His clothes were obviously suspected of imitating Yang Fan, and he couldn't help but smile.
Yang Fan has been in office for almost a week. During this week, he only did two things. One thing was to communicate face to face with every formal employee and explain the KPI performance appraisal system that will be implemented soon, so that they can clearly understand why they should do this, how to do it, and what are the benefits of doing this.
Another thing is that on the grounds that many netizens and reporters came to the company to visit during the Internet conference, the manners and appearance of all employees are mandatory. For example, non-R&D personnel should wear shirts and trousers when they go to work, and they are not allowed to wear long hair, beards, and nails are not allowed. The clothes of R&D personnel can be free of charge, but they must take a bath and wash their hair every day. Long hair and beards can be left, but they must be neatly trimmed, etc.
In the eyes of those who are interested, these two things Yang Fan did are exactly the same as the historical allusion of Sun Wu training palace maids for the King of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. First, explain the rules clearly, and then try small things. If someone does not follow them, kill the chicken to warn the monkey to establish his authority. If everyone follows them, advance them layer by layer and implement the new system in full.
Fortunately, most of the employees of Snapdragon are freshmen, and they are quite honest. Yang Fan's resume, ability and personal charm are excellent, which is enough to convince the public. Therefore, there is no thorny head facing him. It took only a few days to make the company's atmosphere new. Those lazy and sloppy guys became humane, while those employees who had already paid attention to appearance began to pursue Yang Fan's luxury style of returning elite white-collar workers, becoming more and more particular.
"Brother Quan, what do employees think about Yang Fan now?"
“There are different opinions, but overall they are mostly positive.”
"No one thinks he's too harsh?"
"Of course there is, but Mr. Yang put all the rules and regulations of performance appraisal on the table, clarified the relationship between rights and responsibilities, and reduced the excuses of quarrel among employees, and also had a clear goal of striving to strive for, knowing how to do promotion and salary increase, and improving work efficiency and enthusiasm a lot."
"It's good to do this, but it's too utilitarian and unhuman. You should dress up more often and help him ease the atmosphere and don't make the company too rigid."
"I will."
When Bai Yuquan first joined Snapdragon, he still had some ambition to be a programmer. However, he used to learn computer knowledge by himself, with a poor foundation and could not keep up with the pace. He gave up soon and transformed into management. He used his family relationship and the advantages of being a secretary in the city to help sort out the local political and business relationship in Yuncheng. When Du Qiu and Chen Dayou both went to the United States, he and Jiang Danfeng were both outside and inside to ensure that the company's daily operations were not incorrect and made great contributions. Therefore, he gradually changed from a marginal figure to an indispensable right-hand man.
This person has a gentle personality, is safe in doing things, has a good reputation but does not have much ambitions. He is a perfect social lubricant. After Yang Fan kicked Jiang Danfeng away, he chose him as an administrative manager as his deputy. I guess he also had this consideration.
The parking lot is on the right side of the conference center. When Du Qiu walked to the corner, a two-door two-seater sports car drove out from inside. The speed was not fast, but he was startled because the red body and smooth shape looked very similar to Ferrari.
Damn it!
Someone in Yuncheng bought a Ferrari before me?
The sports car stopped in the middle of the road, rolled down the window, and revealed Lu Zijian's dark face. He asked loudly with a smug smile: "Du Qiu, is my car beautiful?"
Du Qiu's memory has no less messy car knowledge than computers. At this time, he recognized that the car was not Ferrari, but a classic cheap sports car produced by Toyota. In the first episode of "Young and Dangerous", this is the car that Chen Haonan stolen, so he smiled and said, "When did you buy it?"
"I bought it a few days ago. There was no gtr in Pujiang, so I had to buy this one, the original imported American-regulated car." Lu Zijian patted the car door and said provocatively: "When will we start the highway and make a move to see if your car is faster or mine."
"Forget it, my gtr is a Japanese-regulated right-hand rudder. It's okay if someone is hiding him in the city. When I get on the highway, I will definitely be arrested by the traffic police."
"Not gtr, it's your 1.5 million BMW m5."
"That's OK, I'll ask you one day when I'm free." Du Qiu saw that Tan Jingyun was also sitting in the car, raised his hand and said hello, "Teacher Tan, have you got the ticket for the evening concert?"
"I got it, Chunhua gave me 10 pictures. Thank you, Du Qiu, for inviting the Pujiang Symphony Orchestra to Yuncheng to perform, fulfilling my mother and grandmother's dream."
According to Gao Mingda's inquiry, Tan Jingyun's grandmother was the eldest daughter of a prominent family in Pujiang. In 1949, many tribe members went to Hong Kong and Taiwan. After the reform and opening up, they used these relationships to do foreign trade business and earned at least tens of millions of assets. However, they were usually very low-key and did not show off, so few people knew about it.
At this time, Bai Yuquan's assistant He Xiaomei walked over with her elder brother and said to Du Qiu: "Mr. Du, Manager He urges you to return to the company quickly, but those experts can't wait."
Bai Yuquan raised his hand and looked at the watch, saying in surprise: "They set off 15 minutes ago. They should have just arrived at the company now. Why are they doing so urgently?"
He Xiaomei used to be Jiang Danfeng's local assistant. She had a frequent contact with Du Qiu. She had a close relationship with her. She had a proud smile on her face and said, "Manager He said that those experts were particularly interested in an algorithm studied by President Du, but they couldn't understand it, so she was anxious."
"Damn! Du Qiu, you are so awesome. You can actually create a technique that even experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences cannot understand." Lu Zijian raised his thumb and praised: "I don't accept anyone when I grow up so old, I will accept you!"
"Zijian, speak well and be more elegant."
Du Qiu smiled slightly, waved goodbye to Lu Zijian and his wife, preparing to return to the company to earn another wave of reputation, and took advantage of the opportunity of this Internet conference to build Snapdragon into a high-tech enterprise with great strength in both wealth and academic aspects, attracting talents from all walks of life to join us.
