Chapter 227 Team Building
Huang Xiaodong and Liu Jianfeng watched Qin Shaoyan drive away in Wuling Hongguang and stood there looking at each other.

Liu Jianfeng asked in confusion: "What does Qin Shaoyan mean? Why is he contacting us in the next few days?"

Huang Xiaodong thought for a while, "I heard someone from Blizzard mentioned Qin Shaoyan. When the Golden Keyboard Awards were selecting the best online game award, Qin Shaoyan took the initiative to nominate "World of Warcraft" and later voted in favor."

"From this point of view, Qin Shaoyan has a good impression of the game "World of Warcraft"."

Liu Jianfeng's eyes lit up, "You mean... Qin Shaoyan can intercede for us?"

"It's hard to say." Huang Xiaodong has never dealt with Qin Shaoyan, so naturally he doesn't dare to make big claims, "But judging from his attitude towards us just now, he is quite enthusiastic."

Liu Jianfeng said with some doubts: "Isn't it said that Qin Shaoyan has been planning to attack the national server project of "World of Warcraft"? Does he have any conspiracy?"

Huang Xiaodong said disdainfully, "Do you believe the gossip spread by Shanda?"

"Qin Shaoyan specializes in stand-alone games. Even online games are also FPS. They are not in the same genre as us. Why are you sniping at us?"

"Anyway, Qin Shaoyan is very well-connected in the domestic and foreign gaming industries, so it's a good idea to have a good relationship with him."

"Eh?!" Qin Shaoyan frowned and glanced at Zhang Pingyi, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhang Pingyi nodded. The Internet industry must continue to make progress, constantly learn from its opponents, insist on micro-innovation, and maintain vitality. If Internet companies lose innovation, they will soon lose their vitality.

"You can tell Teacher Fan directly." Zhang Pingyi stood up as he spoke, "It's time for me to go up and perform."

"Going home to have dinner and talk about business?" How can Zhang Pingyi believe it? "This is the first time I've heard of it. Are you talking about some PY transaction?"

"But fortunately, they don't know that I don't know the power of this trump card."

Qin Shaoyan greeted the employees cordially, walked to the table in the front row, and sat down next to Zhang Pingyi, Chen Guangxia and other senior executives.

Qin Shaoyan sighed, "General Xiong said that I was brave that day, but I didn't understand what he meant at the time."

The two turned and entered the subway station, while Qin Shaoyan drove slowly down the road.

"You came just in time, you just finished the curtain call." Zhang Pingyi glanced at Qin Shaoyan, "Did you just get up? Where did you go last night?"

"Remind me to ask for a business card or something later." Qin Shaoyan warned, "It's time for our video website to have more Internet celebrity programs."

Huang Xiaodong also felt that it would be ineffective to go directly to Chen Peng, so he decided decisively, "Then we will stay in the capital for two days, and when the holiday is over, we will go directly to Qin Shaoyan."

Liu Jianfeng nodded, "Well, I can see that he has a close relationship with Director Chen."

"I was quite surprised at the time." Qin Shaoyan smiled bitterly, "Everyone who goes around and around to get a quota can go all the way to Chen Peng."

They are all a group of young people who have just graduated from school and entered the society. They are excited and novel about activities like the annual meeting mixed with expectations.

Zhang Pingyi didn't understand what Qin Shaoyan said, but he still said: "Then you deal with it as soon as possible. If you delay it, you don't know who else will come after you."

"Well, I know." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment and said slowly, "I always knew that I had a trump card, but I didn't know how big this trump card was."

"When I was at Chen Peng's place, I met people from Nine Cities who came to visit me, but Chen Peng was stunned and didn't let them in."

"What?!" Zhang Pingyi was a little confused.

After a few more years of classes, the only thing I can expect from the annual meeting is the lottery.

"I remember that you were very wary of the online game "World of Warcraft" before." Zhang Pingyi asked doubtfully.

Zhang Minyi was a little surprised, "Based on Mr. Qin's connections, does anyone dare to block your account?"

"Has the show started yet?"

"Huh?" Zhang Pingyi was really shocked, "Have the relationships between these schools reached this level?"

"Chen Peng asked me to have dinner at noon. I just came back from his house." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "I am doing this for official business."

Zhang Pingyi said with a solemn expression: "I heard Teacher Fan say that they have been playing the foreign server of "World of Warcraft" recently and have a high opinion of this online game."

"Actually, Chen Peng didn't call me over today just to talk about games." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "He wanted to help his alma mater get a spot for an international summer camp."

Most of the company's employees have arrived, and everyone is sitting around the table, eating melon seeds and snacks and chatting.

"You have never said anything about how to arrange the quota allocation, and I can't open my mouth." Zhang Pingyi grimaced, "I've been annoyed to death by this matter recently."

After driving for nearly an hour, Qin Shaoyan found the location of the company's annual meeting.

As a veteran driver for many years, it was no problem to drive. The main reason was that Qin Shaoyan didn't know the road.

"It's better for the county magistrate to take charge now." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "There are so many game companies now, and there are more people applying for licenses. We can't just take care of us."

"It's not vigilance." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "I have the greatest respect for competition, but fortunately, although Blizzard is strong, it does not pose a great threat."

Now that there is no car navigation or smartphone map, Qin Shaoyan has to stop from time to time to ask for directions.

"This card is a bit hot, but it is very useful and can help us solve many things."

"Because "World of Warcraft" has made many innovative designs, it will become a phenomenal and landmark game." Qin Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "We still have to learn more, learn more, and then innovate."

"How is that possible?!" Qin Shaoyan immediately defended, "I have accepted all the gifts from Blizzard, so there is no point in getting the national server of "World of Warcraft"."

"Let's wait until after this holiday." Qin Shaoyan raised his head and glanced at the singer on the stage, "This woman can sing well, where did she find her?"

Zhang Pingyi was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Actually, someone from our school has also approached me, hoping that I can help get a few people in."

"From Nine Cities?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "You don't really want to get stuck in their "World of Warcraft", do you?"

"Teacher Fan recommended me, so I guess I know him from the resident singer at the bar." Zhang Pingyi said with some uncertainty.

"You are too dark in your heart." Qin Shaoyan said while looking at the female singer on the stage, "This time it was not in vain. At least the game version number problem was solved."

Then the lady who announced the curtain came up to the stage and said with a smile: "Now we invite our Zhang Pingyi, Vice President Zhang to perform a show for everyone, "Nunchucks""

Then the familiar prelude sounded, Zhang Pingyi rushed onto the stage, cupped his hands and cupped his hands in all directions, and then shook out the nunchucks from his sleeves.

In an instant, there were many stick shadows on the stage, and two nunchakus were flying up and down, accompanied by a burst of "hum hum ha ha", and the fight was vigorous.

The audience below the stage was stunned for a while, then burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the employees applauded desperately.

Unexpectedly, the company's CTO, Vice President Zhang, has such a skill.

At the end of the song, Zhang Pingyi stopped his move without blushing or out of breath, once again cupped his hands with his fists, and somersaulted off the stage.

When Zhang Pingyi returned to the dining table, people around him gave thumbs up and praised Vice President Zhang for his awesomeness.

Only Qin Shaoyan ate the sugar orange very calmly. He had seen Zhang Pingyi's skills in his previous life. When the two were in the same company, this had become a reserved program at the annual meeting and was performed every year.

But it's still good to be young. In a few years, Zhang Tianshi won't be able to do any somersaults, and if he doesn't, he'll lose his waist.

Next up was Teacher Fan's rock show. This time he didn't fool around with an allegro, but actually put on a drum set on stage.

After that, the art guy from the game company came on stage and performed a break dance that is almost lost.

These programs made the newly joined Kou Hongfei team's eyes wide open, and they all sighed that Mr. Qin is really full of talents.

The chief CTO is also capable of both literary and military skills. Why worry about such a team not being developed?

Qin Shaoyan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zhang Pingyi, "You have never given up on this skill." "I have reviewed it again in the past few days, and I almost broke my head." Zhang Pingyi waved his hand, "This You have to practice every day, otherwise your skills will be bad.”

"You need to practice more." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "When the vacation is over, you will personally handle the audition and lottery procedures for the international summer camp. I don't worry about others doing it."

"Okay." Zhang Pingyi hesitated, "Is it true randomness or pseudo-randomness?"

"Of course it's pseudo-random, but it should be done as if it were truly random."

"Then you have to write the rules in advance."

"Don't worry about this. This rule must be followed carefully. Even if it is falsified, it must not be obvious." Qin Shaoyan said, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "That's not right."

Zhang Pingyi was startled, "What's wrong?"

"This lottery is wrong." Qin Shaoyan pointed at the big screen, "Is there something wrong with the results of this lottery? Why are all the good prizes drawn by the technical department? Who did this lottery program?"

"Let me take a look." Zhang Pingyi took a closer look and his face became serious, "There is something wrong with this probability."

As he said this, Zhang Minyi was about to stand up, but Qin Shaoyan grabbed him.

"Wait and see." Qin Shaoyan glanced at the next winners and called Chen Guangxia over, "These winners are all from the technical department, right?"

Chen Guangxia glanced at them and said with a hard expression on his face, "They are indeed from the technical department."

"Hurry up and stop it." Zhang Pingyi stood up directly, went on stage and took the microphone, "Pause this lottery first, open the code of this lottery program, I want to review the code on the spot."

Chen Guangxia couldn't sit still anymore and followed him on stage. He called Xu Lei and Li Le up together, and they gathered in front of a laptop to check the code.

"Damn it, what is this written about? Why are there no notes?"

"Is this Pinyin?"

"It seems to be Pinyin."

"Who the hell wrote this code? The first letters of Pinyin are mixed with the first letters of English words, and this thing can run?"

"Whoever wrote this, let him come up quickly."

Immediately afterwards, the programmer in charge of the lottery program was called to the stage and was questioned with a red face.

"Have you considered that job numbers are discontinuous?"

"Of course, I reorganized a list."

"The people who have already been drawn need to be removed from the list. Have you written it?"

"I must have written it."

"The third prize is 50. Did you win 50 times in a row or 50 numbers at once?"

"It's a draw of 50 numbers at a time."

"How do you generate random numbers?"

"..."

After a thorough interrogation, the programmer in charge of the lottery was sweating profusely.

Finally, Zhang Pingyi discovered the problem, "What does your code do?"

"Uh, it seems to be for testing?"

"Why don't you delete the code for testing?"

"I...forgot."

Chen Guangxia also discovered a bug in the program, "Why did you call the third prize winning list for the second prize lottery list? Shouldn't it be randomly selected from the remaining lists?"

Zhang Minyi was also shocked, "Let me take a look, what kind of bullshit code is this?"

This code must not be used anymore, so Fan Xiaoqian was called over, and the three CTOs wrote the code themselves on the spot.

Then a bunch of programmers gathered around, chiming in all kinds of things.

After the personal efforts of three experts, the new lottery procedure was finally completed. The previous lottery results were canceled and everyone drew again.

Zhang Pingyi sat back down next to Qin Shaoyan with an ugly expression, and softly informed him of the incident, "It's not fraud, it's just shit written, there's a bug."

"Huh?!" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "We have so many programmers in our Internet company, how can something like this happen?"

Zhang Mingyi looked ashamed, "The person in charge of the lottery procedure was a new employee. They saw that he had nothing to do, so they handed over the lottery procedure to him."

"His superior supervisor didn't check either?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"No." Zhang Pingyi shook his head.

"What about the test? It didn't go through the test group?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"No." Zhang Pingyi continued to shake his head.

Qin Shaoyan frowned, "This is dereliction of duty."

"Although those who start businesses now are grass-roots teams, I have set up a research and development process."

"There is a strict process from demand to research and development. In the end, the product must be tested by the test team before it can be launched. Is this a hard and fast rule?"

Zhang Pingyi sighed, "The lottery program is not a formal function required by the website, so no one took it seriously and did not follow the normal process."

Qin Shaoyan said expressionlessly, "The programmer who brought in the newcomer will have one month's salary deducted, and the programmer who wrote the lottery program will also be punished."

"Xu Lei and Li Le, their wages will also be deducted. Senior Brother Chen has just been transferred, so they are just herding sheep, right?"

Zhang Pingyi explained: "The video website has transferred several key personnel from the campus. The campus network has recently added a lot of new people, so problems are inevitable."

"Zhang Tianshi, you have to take over the campus network again after the vacation." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "There can't be any problems with team building."

Zhang Pingyi nodded seriously.

When Internet companies were started, they were all grass-roots teams, and there was no management at all. They just made do.

After all, these companies have today and no tomorrow, and they may go bankrupt at any time. Survival is the first priority, and all processes and management must be put later.

Then, as the company's scale and business continued to expand, many stubborn diseases and problems remained, and the contradictions were covered up as the company developed.

After the company stabilized, many problems were exposed, but some problems could no longer be corrected.

In fact, the middle and senior levels of many Internet companies are full of bastards, but they are hidden by the brands and lofty titles of major Internet companies. They can usually deal with them, but when unexpected situations arise, their underpants are exposed.

For example, there are many weird KPI assessments, product functions that are like sand sculptures, weird marketing ideas, and a team-building culture that has all five evils.

Qin Shaoyan feels that if he wants to develop, he must have a strong and formalized team.

We need to carry out rectification properly.
