Top of the Great Era

Chapter 3066 Comprehensive

Zhou Buqi and Zhang Yiming walked around the grassroots level, and soon it was noon, so they went to the staff cafeteria to eat together.

"Outsourced employees are prohibited from coming to the cafeteria. This rule is so inhumane!"

Zhou Buqi still couldn't help but complain.

Zhang Yiming already understood what he meant, "Cancel outsourcing?"

Zhou Buqi said: "There are many advantages to outsourcing, but there are also many disadvantages. What we should do is to retain the advantages, and then pick out the most critical ones among the disadvantages to improve them. Just like the issue of sense of belonging and identity, you are not even an employee of Ziweixing, so how can you feel at home in the company?"

Zhang Yiming smiled and said: "The biggest disadvantage of canceling outsourcing is the increase in costs."

Zhou Buqi said: "I don't think we need to pursue profits too much, what do you think?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Alibaba is going to go public, and many people are speculating that after Alibaba goes public, its market value is likely to exceed ours. They have already run a successful business model, with strong cash flow and high profits."

Zhou Buqi said: "I think it's better to show off to Boss Ma. From the perspective of economic structure, e-commerce will definitely play a greater role than social networking. It can drive the development of larger surrounding industries and stimulate more real economy. Social networking is more like an advertising display platform, especially now that the social networking industry is restricted everywhere, there is no need for us to stand out too much."

The two went to the cafeteria and headed straight to the third floor.

There are quieter little rooms there.

When the two appeared in the cafeteria, many employees came to greet them enthusiastically, shouting "Mr. Zhou" one after another. It was like a fan meeting a star and worshipping their idol. Zhou Buqi could only stop and wave to everyone many times.

In comparison, Zhang Yiming was quite cold.

This guy has a low-key style.

He never appears on TV or accepts media interviews.

Many grassroots employees may not know him.

After going upstairs, Zhou Buqi continued the previous topic: "I learned from the human resources department that our current campus recruitment plan is very strict, and the lowest level is T3."

Zhang Yiming said: "Indeed, the level of fresh graduates nowadays is much higher than that of us back then. The computer industry is becoming more and more popular in China, and young people's IT skills are getting stronger and stronger. When I was in school, the projects I worked on were hotel management systems and library management systems. The standards are much higher now."

Zhou Buqi said: "If the requirements are high, there will be fewer people to recruit."

Zhang Yiming immediately understood what he meant, "Should we expand the scale of campus recruitment?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Based on the T3 standard, the number of fresh graduates recruited each year is only more than 2000, which is far from meeting the demand for employment. Another point is that Ziweixing's roots are in universities. We need to have a more friendly attitude towards college students and attach importance to the mission of Xiaonei.com."

"Ah."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yiming had to take it seriously.

Ziweixing can be said to be the company that has the closest relationship with college students.

But with millions of fresh graduates every year, Ziweixing can only recruit about 3000 people if some non-technical positions are included, which is indeed a little small. In addition, there is social responsibility, and providing jobs for fresh graduates is the basis of social stability and economic confidence.

In addition, there will be certain government subsidies for employing recent graduates.

For example, in the capital, for every fresh graduate that Ziweixing recruits, it can get a subsidy of around 8000 yuan within a year.

This amount of money is nothing to Ziweixing and is not one of the purposes of recruiting fresh graduates.

  However, many inferior companies are different. They are all eyeing this part of the subsidy!

Some companies specialize in cashing in on subsidies and engaging in fake recruitment activities.

Zhou Buqi said: "Xiaonei.com has close communication channels with college students, but when recruiting, we only focus on those top 985 universities, which will inevitably disappoint many people. Campus recruitment is a display of the brand. We should open up to some more ordinary universities and give them confidence."

Zhang Yiming frowned slightly, "It's not the same now as it was back then."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Nowadays, colleges and universities are expanding their enrollment. People with ability can basically get into famous universities. For ordinary colleges and universities, we can even make a blanket judgment that it is impossible for ordinary colleges and universities to produce high-level technical talents."

After a pause, Zhang Yiming continued, "Indeed, on the surface, among the graduating students, some students from ordinary colleges seem to have similar abilities to those from prestigious universities. But once they actually start working, the gap between them will widen quickly. The gap in potential and growth between the two sides is too big."

Zhou Buqi remained silent.

Zhang Yiming said: "Fresh graduates have a narrow range of exposure and a low ceiling, so the technical gap between fresh graduates is actually very small. Many students from ordinary colleges and universities can seem to have a high level if they study computer technology hard. But in fact, it is completely different. When they enter the workplace, especially high-tech companies like Ziweixing, there is no ceiling on technology and no height restrictions, so the gap will immediately appear. Because computer technology is not just about computers."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "There is also English."

If you want to become a top talent in the industry, English is very important.

It is a hurdle that cannot be avoided.

In famous universities, there are many courses taught in English, and many foreign teachers are invited from abroad. Institutions like Tsinghua University and Peking University are even more impressive, with hundreds of courses taught in English. From the teaching environment to the living and learning environment around them, students can learn English well.

For the Internet, the top papers and new technological concepts are all in English.

In other words, if a person wants to become a technical expert in the Internet industry, a strong level of English is a prerequisite. Without good English, it is impossible to become a top expert in the industry. This is the growth potential of a fresh graduate.

Graduates from prestigious universities, especially those from Tsinghua University and Peking University, have the potential and qualifications to become top scientists because of their good English proficiency.

This is not the case for many students in ordinary colleges and universities.

When I was in school, the little technology I learned had no use for English at all. I didn’t need to learn English well, nor did I need to refer to cutting-edge English papers. Therefore, the gap was small, making many students from ordinary colleges seem to have the same technical level as students from famous universities.

Once you enter the workplace and start climbing the technical ladder, the gap will become bigger and more obvious.

The higher you go, the less valuable the Chinese materials become.

Zhang Yiming said: "English is a must-pass test, but there is another test, which is mathematics."

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized, "Hmm, mathematics!"

Zhang Yiming said: "Now is the era of algorithms, big data, artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The foundation of mathematics can also determine how high an Internet engineer can reach in technology. If a computer student's math level cannot be compared with those in the mathematics department during school, then his future technical achievements will not be too high."

“The math threshold is not low either!”

Zhou Buqi felt the same way. The course that gave him the most headaches in college was advanced mathematics.

Zhang Yiming said: "In recent years, the domestic computer industry has developed rapidly, and the employment trend is very good. Many colleges and universities have opened computer courses and trained a large number of computer majors. However, most computer schools only teach superficial knowledge and lack systematic teaching. Even if they can build a good computer school, what about English? What about mathematics? It is difficult for them to systematically lay a foundation for students to become top IT scientists."

Zhou Buqi further understood He Yang's idea that "education" is becoming more and more important. "A good education often means a good foundation."

Zhang Yiming said: "Yes, for a student from an ordinary college, learning computer knowledge may have exhausted all his energy. The top students in famous schools are often well-balanced. They not only have good professional knowledge, but also have solid English and mathematics. When the technology is weak, the gap is not obvious. Once you enter the workplace, the door to the world of technology is opened, and the role of a comprehensive foundation is shown. Even knowledge in the market such as literature, finance, and business that seems to be completely unrelated to the major can greatly promote becoming a top talent."

Zhou Buqi agrees with this. "It's true. The understanding of professions in China is too narrow. Indians who go to Silicon Valley spend their free time learning all sorts of irrelevant things. Kurian even went to Hollywood to learn how to write scripts. Chinese who go to the United States focus on their profession. I find more and more that things other than professional ability often determine the attainable height of a profession."
