Chapter 3062 Stinky Water

When I have free time, I mainly meet up with friends.

Sit down and eat.

Some people I met in the company and at work, while others I had to make special time to meet up with.

For example, Chen Guohuan, who has resigned from Ziweixing and started his own business of exporting counterfeit mobile phones, now has his main battlefield in Dongguan. As the Dongguan-style services are being cleaned up, he and Yan Guangming have already taken over many counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers there.

It is expected that the first copycat smartphone will be launched next month. The first market will be Indonesia, and an agency agreement has been signed with an operator there.

Chen Guohuan flew here specifically from the south tonight.

There is also his current girlfriend, Zhao Qing, a very calm working woman in her early thirties who works at Minsheng Bank.

Zhou Buqi did not bring a female companion, and the person next to him was Meng Houkun.

This is a bit awkward. It's not good to start talking about the work of the knockoff phone and ignore the girlfriend. There is another important reason. The girlfriend also works in the south. She came here specially just to meet Boss Zhou, talk a few more words, and pay homage to him on the spot.

Zhou Buqi could only chat with her, and asked with a smile what kind of work she was doing in the bank, whether it was savings or financial management.

As a result, Ms. Zhao Qing was very aggressive and said that she was responsible for technology.

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised. "Technology? What aspect?"

Zhao Qing seemed a little embarrassed, "Database."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "So you're an engineer!"

Female programmers are actually rare in the industry. After all, the computer industry is a science and logic industry.

Chen Guohuan smiled and said: "She was still working at Huawei last year. It was because I told her that she jumped to the bank."

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, "So he's a senior engineer!"

Zhao Qing was embarrassed by what he said and said frankly: "No, I am just an ordinary programmer. I started working at Penguin, but was laid off later. It was not easy to find a job, so I went to Adecco two years ago."

Adecco is a domestic outsourcing giant.

The largest service customer is Huawei, and 50% of the manpower is Huawei's on-site outsourcing.

After hearing what she said, Zhou Buqi became even more interested. "It just so happens that I am worried about outsourcing in my company! You have worked at Huawei, so you are an expert. You must tell me about it."

Zhao Qing was a little confused, "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Buqi asked: "How do you feel about being an outsourcer at Huawei? What is the specific situation?"

"Outsourcing..." Zhao Qing shook his head. "The biggest advantage is that the money is high, the work is relatively easy, and the coding pressure is small. Their coding technology is much worse than Penguin's... Maybe it's because I'm outsourced, the coding requirements are not that high, and overall I don't need strong skills. But the management is very strict, divided into red zone, yellow zone, and green zone."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Red, yellow, green? Traffic lights?"

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "Yes, it means traffic lights. The red zone is a prohibited area, many regular employees cannot go there, and the supervision is very strict; everyone can go to the green zone; I am an outsourcer, and my work area is the yellow zone."

"That's it."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Technology companies have many ways to protect their technology, but in comparison, Huawei attaches much more importance to technology security than Internet companies. Of course, Huawei's technology is not only the Internet, but also covers a wide range of areas, and also has very complex and critical businesses. Once it is leaked, it will cause a big problem, so confidentiality is extremely strong.

Zhao Qing said, "There is another requirement, which is quite scary. It prohibits employees from taking photos in the office area and from taking screenshots of office computers. There is not only camera monitoring, but also system monitoring. If you accidentally take a screenshot of the computer, you must quickly find the leader to sign and confirm, and then discuss whether it was intentional or unintentional at the weekly meeting. Once it is considered an intentional screenshot, no matter what you screenshot, you will be fired. I have a colleague who was fired because he took a screenshot of a communication interface with another colleague. It is very strict."

Zhou Buqi was able to express his understanding and said, "Strict management is necessary. This is aimed at system construction, not the size of an event." Zhao Qing smiled and said, "Otherwise, there is nothing special. The salary is quite high. It is the same standard as when I was a formal employee at Penguin. In a year, the salary and bonus add up to 300,000 or 400,000."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Then why did you go to the bank?"

"You don't recognize him now."

Zhao Qing glanced at Chen Guohuan beside him.

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized.

Chen Guohuan previously worked in the capital, but after being assigned to work on the copycat phone business, he moved to eastern Guangdong Province, mainly in Dongguan... He felt empty around him, so he met his new girlfriend Zhao Qing. Maybe he felt that she worked too hard at Huawei and got off work too late, so he suggested that she quit and work in a bank.

Anyway, Chen Guohuan is rich.

Don't care about a job at all.

If the two of them really get together, Zhao Qing will probably have to resign and go home to take charge of her life. She doesn't seem to be at a high level in the workplace, and she's in her thirties, so it's time for her to get married and have children.

Seeing that she was not at a high level, Zhou Buqi did not ask any more questions and said with a smile: "Now that you are working at a bank, your work is easier, right?"

"It's so easy, it's hard to imagine." Zhao Qing tucked her hair around her ears, looking very feminine. No wonder she could capture a rich man like Chen Guohuan. "When I went to the bank for an interview, I was shocked. The interviewer didn't even have basic technical skills. He talked about a few scenarios, and the questions were so stupid. The threshold was so low. Just knowing some practical skills in Spring could easily get in."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's good to have an easy job."

"It's exhausting." Zhao Qing shook his head. "It's really different from the big tech companies. The project warehouse uses svn and jdk6. There's only one requirement: use the 'Purple Star Specification'. That's it. There's not even a document. The code is really... JDK6 syntax doesn't support streaming and automatic stream closing. It's all exception handling. Don't even count on springboot, it's just the old spring. There's no new technology except dubbo. I think my skills are bad enough. After I went there, I became a database manager."

Zhou Buqi laughed.

A bit of a cover-up.

I didn't understand what she was saying, but I did understand the logic, which was that the things in the bank were outdated and outdated technology, as bad as it could be. The user data in the bank was leaked everywhere, and all kinds of bank accounts were clearly controlled by telecom fraudsters. It was not surprising at all.

Zhao Qing continued, "It's good to be a supervisor, but the soldiers under me don't know anything, so I have to lead them all... And the equipment. The configuration of the office computer is too poor. I have to install a virtual machine. If I don't turn on anything, the memory will be directly 40%... The most important thing is that although I am a technical supervisor, no one in the whole bank knows database better than me, but I have no say in technical matters. The administrative leaders have the final say."

Zhou Buqi was actually not interested in this topic.

He already knew it.

Although Internet companies have been criticized by many people for having this or that problem, such as excessive overtime and PUA in the workplace, it is undeniable that the Internet industry is the cleanest and most transparent industry in the country. It is also the industry that is most conducive to career struggles and can help ordinary people turn their lives around.

Because good companies are like living water, they need to constantly drain out the bad water so that the outside world can smell the bad odor.

Many companies have no negative news because they have become stagnant. They either keep the stinky water inside to prevent the outside world from smelling it, or even if they release some stinky water, they don’t allow the outside world to say it stinks, and they want the trumpeters to sing praises and say it smells really good.

Zhao Qing finally met the legendary CEO Zhou, and seemed to be very happy. "For some projects, I think they are not difficult and can be done by myself. But the leader said that they had to find a partner company from outside to do it. I guess they took commissions. There were also interviews. They didn't want people with better skills and insisted on choosing people who knew nothing. After that, they asked me to take care of them. There is really no need to think about anything when working in the company. When I go to work in the morning, I think about what to eat for lunch; when I go to work in the afternoon, I think about where to go for drinks in the evening."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "That's really easy."

Zhao Qing said: "Yes, I've been thinking about taking time to write novels while working, as a part-time job. Even though I'm a science student, I have a high level of literary ability!"

Zhou Buqi squinted her eyes and said, "I'll be more free when I become a full-time wife."

Zhao Qing glanced at Chen Guohuan, with a meaningful and somewhat arrogant look, "Boss Chen, did you hear the boss's instructions? Do you want to marry me?"

Zhou Buqi quickly said: "No, no! I didn't say anything!"
