Chapter 692: Expanding Overseas (4000 words)
It was another holiday, and a young man named Chen Wen returned to the village.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Chen Wen shouted loudly to his grandfather in the yard.

"Hey, Xiaowen, you're back." Grandpa stood up and looked at his grandson with a smile.

"The company is on holiday, so I came back to see you two." Chen Wen smiled, "I also brought some delicious food for you two."

"Hahaha, no need to go through so much trouble. It's good that you can come back. You don't need to bring anything. You, your father is not as sensible as you."

Although grandpa said this, his smile was even happier.

Chen Wen just smiled, put the things in the yard, and then sat next to his grandfather.

"Wenwen, how many days will the school be on vacation this time? How many days can you stay at home?" asked Grandpa.

Chen Wen smiled and said, "Grandpa, I graduated a long time ago. Didn't I just say that? I'm already employed. It's the company's holiday, not the school's holiday."

"Ah?" Grandpa was stunned for a moment, "You have already started working. I didn't expect that you have finished reading the book so soon."

"It was really fast. Those few years of studying seemed to have gone by in the blink of an eye. I still feel like a college student. I haven't yet adapted to the identity of a member of society."

Chen Wen was actually quite emotional in his heart.

Before, I was a carefree college student, but in a blink of an eye, I found myself becoming a corporate slave.

"Where do you work now? How is your job? Is your boss nice to you?"

Grandpa asked worriedly.

For the elderly, what they are most worried about is when their grandchildren move to a new environment.

After all, this is a new environment that they need to adapt to, and they don’t know what their boss is like.

Moreover, school is completely different from society. In school, at least you will be protected by the school and teachers.

But once you enter society, if something happens, you really can only rely on yourself.

Furthermore, when you are in school, everyone is actually very simple and will not try to cheat you. But when you enter society, you will meet all kinds of people. A working environment is definitely crucial for a person.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. The company I joined is okay, but it’s a big company, and the boss’s words are not often heard. After all, big bosses are rare.

But our company’s welfare benefits are very good. Not only are three meals a day included, but there are also cakes and snacks in the afternoon.

If we choose to rent a house by ourselves, we will receive a certain subsidy every month. If we do not rent a house by ourselves, we can also live in the staff dormitory. In the staff dormitory, undergraduates live in a room with three people, masters live in a room with two people, and doctors live in a room with one person.

Look at this photo of our dormitory. Everyone has a separate room, a living room and a kitchen, just like a suite. "

As Chen Wen was talking, he took out his cell phone and showed his grandfather the photos of his dormitory.

The grandfather looked at his grandson's accommodation conditions, swiping his fingers across the pictures on his mobile phone, and smiled with satisfaction.

This dormitory is really nice, clean and hygienic.

The most important thing is that seeing his grandson so satisfied, he knew that the treatment in this company would definitely not be bad.

"Are the working hours in your company long? Do you need to work overtime often?" Grandpa asked again.

"It's actually not that bad. The working hours are only eight hours a day. Our company does not encourage overtime, nor does it encourage using mobile phones to disturb employees after get off work, unless there is something urgent, or it is prohibited.

But recently our company is in a period of rapid development, and people around me are working overtime, and it would not look good if I didn’t work overtime, so I took the initiative to work overtime.

However, the overtime pay in our company is quite high, much higher than the overtime pay of other employees, and if you work in the company until 9 o'clock, the company will also provide you with a midnight snack.

But you have to leave after you finish your midnight snack and you can’t work overtime any longer. Someone will come to inspect you, and if you violate the rules too many times, it may affect your assessment.”

When Chen Wen said this, there was still a lot of pride in his tone.

The most important thing is that some of my other classmates have entered other large Internet companies, and we have communicated with each other in the group. They have to work overtime much more seriously.

They often work 996, and their overtime pay is not as high as mine, and their overtime is even compulsory.

Even after they get home from get off work, they cannot leave their mobile phones behind, as there is a high possibility that their boss will call them at any time.

Not to mention the company rule in other companies that “employees must not be disturbed during their rest after get off work unless it is an emergency”, I don’t know how much higher this rule is than other Internet companies.

Even after this busy period, I heard that the company will strictly implement the overtime system. It seems that everyone can only work overtime for two hours a day. If you exceed two hours, it will not work, no matter how many times you apply for overtime.

You can apply to work here on weekends, but you can only work a maximum of 5 hours.

This made Chen Wen feel that the boss really cared about his employees.

As for whether this implementation would affect the progress of the work, Chen Wen actually felt that not only would it have no impact, but the efficiency seemed to be even higher.

When you have enough rest, your mind will become much more active when you go to work, and your efficiency can completely make up for the problem of working hours.

In obvious contrast, my colleagues who work in other large companies work long hours every day, but their efficiency is actually relatively low.

Anyway, I feel that what they do in a day is similar to what I do.

Besides, if we want to work overtime, it is voluntary. We really give full play to our subjective initiative and are eager to work overtime.

But if you force yourself to work overtime, then the nature of the situation is completely different.

After all, no one wants to be forced.

"It seems that you like this company very much, too."

When the grandfather sees his grandson talking about the company, he is filled with a strong sense of belonging. You know that his grandson has found a job he likes, or at least can work there for a long time.

"I really like this company." Chen Wen smiled. "Although the work pressure is quite high, this company makes a lot of money, and the overtime is not that serious. At least in this company, you can feel that the boss really treats employees as human beings, while I just treat employees as production tools."

"So what does your company do?" Grandpa asked.

"We are an Internet company that was established not long ago. We make a video software. I guess you should have seen the advertisement of this video software called Wenyin."

Chen Wen explained.

"Oh, it's Wenyin. I know this software. I saw the advertisement of this software on TV. I asked Erdan from the next village to download it for us. It's quite useful, and you can make money by watching videos. At first, I thought it was a scam.

But I think if it is a scam software, it would not be advertised on TV.

Then I downloaded it with your grandma and took a look. We made more than 10 yuan in the past few days."

Grandpa smiled and said that he didn't expect his son to work in this software company.

"Grandpa, do you also use this software?" Chen Wen was even more surprised.

Chen Wen knew that this software of his company was becoming more and more popular with various promotions.

However, Chen Wen felt that this software was only widely used among young people or middle-aged people, and never thought that the elderly would also use this software.

Take my grandparents for example. They are not very good at using smartphones. They usually just use them to make phone calls, let alone download any software.

Unexpectedly, even my grandparents are using it.

“We’re not the only ones using it.”

Grandpa laughed a few times.

"Can't you make a few bucks by inviting people through this software? Now, basically everyone in our village is using it, with people inviting each other.

What’s more, you can earn a few dollars every day just by watching videos. Why not do such a good thing?
And this software is actually very easy to use. As long as you open it, the video will pop up automatically, and then we just have to keep swiping.

Not long ago, I even took a random video and posted it online, and then the villagers saw it and gave me a few likes. "

As grandpa spoke, he couldn't help but smile happily.

It can be seen from this that the emotional value this software brings to the elderly is simply maximum.

Even the elderly like this software, which shows how strong the penetration ability of this software is.

When I was in the company before, I once heard the team leader say that Mr. Ye wanted to make this software as important as Penguin and have it installed on everyone’s phone.

I didn't take what he said before seriously. I just thought that the goal set by Mr. Ye was just to inspire people and there was almost no possibility of achieving it.

But now, even an old man has started using this software, and it seems to have developed a habit.

This software may really become a national-level software.

And it was when Chen Wen was on vacation.

ByteDance held a meeting.

This meeting was chaired by Ye Ge, and all the participants were senior executives of ByteDance.

Xuetang Group and Penguin also sent two people to attend this meeting.

This shows how important this meeting is.

"Now that everyone is here, the meeting will begin immediately."

Ye Ge glanced at everyone present in the conference room.

Although Ye Gecai just graduated from university.

But the aura that Ye Ge exuded made everyone ignore him, who was just a college student in his early twenties.

"This time, our ByteDance's first product, the Wanyin software, has achieved great success.

Although many people download our software for the sake of small profits, judging from the current data, the stickiness of our software is very high.

So based on the current situation, this momentum needs to be maintained, and the R&D department needs to continue to optimize big data algorithms and do its best to recommend software of interest to users.

We must also strictly review videos that are too revealing or that violate the law or social morality.

As for the creators of these video contents, the severity of the situation will be determined. If the situation is serious, they will be directly banned and prohibited from uploading any videos on the platform.

In short, you all know what I said, and I just emphasize it again for you in this meeting.

In addition, the product department discovered that many elderly people are using our software, but everyone knows that the elderly’s eyesight and hearing are not very good, and many of them cannot read.

And we must also seize the market of the elderly.

In fact, in my opinion, the elderly market has great potential.

Therefore, the R&D department is now going to develop a version for the elderly based on our software.

The fonts and content recommendations must be adaptable to a certain extent. Your product department should hold a meeting and give me a plan. "

"Okay, Mr. Ye!" The director of the R&D department nodded in response.

"In addition, the most important point is the overseas layout of our company's software."

Ye Ge continued.

“This is also the point that I value most. The product department must conduct research on overseas markets starting today, and then by this time next year, we must have products launched overseas.

In this process, we may encounter various difficulties, but what I want to say is that nowadays in the Western world, all kinds of discourse power are monopolized, and the people believe whatever they say.

The goal I set for this software is to break this monopoly on the right to speak!

I have already decided on the name of our overseas version of Wenyin. I will name it Tiktok.”

……

……

[Today is the last day of the holiday. After today, we will have to go back to work tomorrow.

Ugh……

To be honest, I really don’t want to go to work… It would be great if I could stop working someday, play games and go fishing every day, it would be so nice. ]
