Chapter 229 Tea Tasting
After explaining the matter on the campus network, Qin Shaoyan turned to look at Chen Guangxia and Kou Hongfei.

"Senior Brother Chen, 05 was an excellent development period for Qvod.com."

"We grabbed a head start and became the first online video website on the domestic Internet. We took this opportunity to quickly accumulate users. This is an excellent strategic opportunity period that we must seize."

"Understood, Mr. Qin." Chen Guangxia said quickly, "We must work hard and make Qvod a good job."

"In addition to accumulating users, the other thing we need to do is create content." Qin Shaoyan warned, "The content of the video website is the most important. We don't open the website to give users a place to upload videos for free."

"We must make good use of users and retain them. In addition to content produced by users themselves, we must also find ways to create content ourselves."

"I plan to take two steps. The first is to find users who produce high-quality content and vigorously support them."

"The other aspect is the purchase and transportation of film and television dramas." Qin Shaoyan began to emphasize, "Of course, when moving film and television dramas, we must also strictly control the review, and we cannot transport everything."

"I will purchase the copyrights of a batch of domestic film and television dramas, and we must severely crack down on and clean up the piracy of these films and television dramas on our website."

"The process of purchasing the rights is ongoing and it is an important undertaking."

In order to fight against Kou Hongfei's team, Chen Guangxia immediately transferred a few key personnel from the campus network to support the scene. Naturally, the campus network would be short of manpower.

Before there was HR, Chen Guangxia was also responsible for recruitment and interviews. In order to facilitate work and reduce communication costs, everyone would habitually choose to recruit their own people.

"Ah?!" Chen Guangxia was stunned, then nodded quickly, "Okay, Mr. Qin."

……

After switching jobs from a game company to campus, Mr. Qin entrusted him with important responsibilities and became a manager.

I never expected that Qin Shaoyan would suddenly take advantage of the lottery draw at the annual meeting to do something like this, beating and mixing sand.

Qin Shaoyan suddenly smiled and said to Chen Guangxia: "Senior Brother Chen should learn more about management. He is the vice president of the company and does everything in his position. He doesn't need to do anything personally."

"I usually focus more on management. Other things like fixing bugs and recruiting people for interviews can be left to other people."

What kind of factional fights, what kind of office politics, what kind of group suppression.

Chen Guangxia and Kou Hongfei quickly stated that they would work hard to improve the website.

Just when Chen Guangxia was complacent, Qin Shaoyan dug a big hole for him and made him happily jump into it voluntarily.

"Master Zhang, I leave the campus network to you." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Do you know what to do?"

Chen Guangxia figured that as long as he could survive this period and add a new group of people after the new year, he would naturally get through this embarrassing period.

When Qin Shaoyan asked Chen Guangxia if he was willing to go to Qvod.com, Chen Guangxia agreed without hesitation.

"We don't know who our competitors are or how they will compete. All we have to do is to stay ahead."

Soon, the telecom faction in the company was unintentionally formed.

During the period of rapid expansion of the campus network last year, there has been a shortage of qualified programmers.

He couldn't bear to resign and went directly to a new game company.

Although he does not have the title of CTO, he has been responsible for the work of CTO.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoyan directly purchased a team from outside and naturally joined Chen Guangxia's staff.

"Brother Chen, Brother Hongfei, the video website is up to you."

Therefore, Chen Guangxia's position is a bit embarrassing. Although he is the CTO, the technical team below has its own manager, which is equivalent to being ignored.

Such a series of arrangements are obviously aimed at checking and balancing the telecommunications system, and Chen Guangxia knows it well.

It took Chen Guangxia a long time to realize this problem. Facing the ever-growing telecommunications department, he felt not only fear but also joy.

This person includes friends, relatives, and former colleagues. They know each other thoroughly and know the capabilities of the other party, which saves the trouble of back-tracking.

Although Qin Shaoyan's words were said in an understatement, they were like thunder in Chen Guangxia's ears, and he immediately began to feel uneasy in his heart.

"This requires a strong, highly qualified and capable team."

Although he does have some small ideas, he is not ambitious.

"As long as you have the ability, you should promote them, regardless of their academic qualifications or qualifications."

Taking charge of a company independently is equivalent to becoming a prince. Although the company has just started, the future is promising.

Chen Guangxia went to an Internet company after graduation, and the dangerous workplace life gave the college students who had just left school a bit of a social shock.

There will definitely be benefits to having a large number of people, but Chen Guangxia hasn't planned yet what benefits he wants to gain for himself.

There was no need to be secretive about Zhang Pingyi, Qin Shaoyan simply said it clearly.

Therefore, Chen Guangxia naturally tends to choose his own people when recruiting. In addition to those with whom he has worked well, the most people in his social circle are alumni.

"We must learn to focus on the big and let go of the small, know people well and let professionals do professional things."

After everyone left, Qin Shaoyan kept Zhang Minyi behind again.

Just because he and the technical director were not alumni, Chen Guangxia was constantly squeezed out.

"The same goes for the opposite. If something goes wrong, you must be punished. It doesn't matter what position he holds or who his relatives and friends are." Qin Shaoyan said word by word, "Rewards and punishments must be clear!"

Qin Shaoyan said seriously: "The Internet will undergo new changes in 2005, and video websites may become a new hot spot for capital. We will face more intense competition by then."

Chen Guangxia feels that the basics of the campus network have been stabilized, and the same model can be replicated at Qvod Network to expand the telecommunications department.

Chen Guangxia can predict that there will be a wave of purges targeting the telecommunications sector after the new year.

"I know." Zhang Pingyi nodded with a serious expression, "Improve the level of the technical team, recruit capable personnel to join, improve the research and development process, and establish a training system for new employees."

Qin Shaoyan asked, "What should we do if there are unqualified employees?"

"Expelled." Zhang Pingyi replied without hesitation.

Qin Shaoyan sighed, "What if it's not easy to drive?"

"What's so difficult about firing someone?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "Can't you fire unsuitable employees?"

"That's it, what if someone comes to you to plead for mercy?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"It's useless to ask me for mercy. I measure based on ability." Zhang Pingyi frowned, "Programmers and product managers are different. The technical level can still be distinguished. If you are good, you are good, and if you are not good, you are not good. "

"It's useless even for Mr. Qin to intercede. I can't let a novice do the background work. The bugs can't be fixed."

Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Yes, everyone understands such a simple truth, but it is not that easy to do."

"The people who will be fired include your junior brothers and your friends. They will say that you are unreasonable."

Zhang Pingyi replied: "No one I know is bad. Even if they are not good, I can't recruit them."

"People are not recruited on their own, but in fact they have already come in." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "Firing them will be called a purge."

Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly asked: "You mean the telecommunications department?"

"There is such a saying." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "And they all say that you are the boss of the telecommunications department."

Zhang Pingyi quickly defended: "I don't know about this, and I haven't worked in the telecommunications department."

"I know it's not you." Qin Shaoyan comforted with a smile, "Actually, factions will exist whether you think about it or not." "The so-called absence of factions in the party is full of strange things. It is normal for companies to have factions."

The problem of factions has existed since the beginning of mankind. Birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups.

When people communicate in social activities, they form teams based on various factors such as blood, closeness, interests, race, skin color, etc., and thus factions are born.

At all times and in all countries, no matter what company or organization it is, there will be factions.

Zhang Pingyi was a little anxious, "This matter may have something to do with Senior Brother Chen."

"It doesn't matter who it is. In fact, I don't care what faction it is." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "I only care about incompetence."

Chen Guangxia is very utilitarian, and Qin Shaoyan could see it when he recruited him.

At that time, Qin Shaoyan wanted to recruit people for the game department, but Chen Guangxia took the initiative to choose the campus network.

Because the game department already has an art team brought by Teacher Hong, and the campus network is still a blank piece of paper, with simple interpersonal relationships, the programmers recruited are also graduates of Telecommunications University.

Using the same school as a link, we can quickly form a group.

However, this person's technical level was very good, and Qin Shaoyan lacked talents, so he recruited Chen Guangxia.

We should both guard against and use this kind of people.

In contrast, Zhang Pingyi's thoughts were much simpler. Before, Qin Shaoyan asked Zhang Pingyi where he wanted to go.

Zhang Pingyi replied that he wanted to go to the game department. You must know that the game department is Qin Shaoyan's direct descendant.

If it were Chen Guangxia, he would never choose to go to the game department.

After Zhang Pingyi thought for a while, he said, "I will draw up a list after the year. I will clear out the unqualified ones and I will go and discuss them personally."

Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly and said, "Just draw up the list and leave the rest to HR."

"You are also the vice president of the company, so you don't have to show up personally for such a small matter. Leave the bad guys to others. HR is a professional."

"Firing out those who are unqualified is a trivial matter. The most important thing is to replenish the team and recruit more capable people."

Chen Guangxia's approach of only looking at schools and not abilities has harmed the development of the company, so this is the root cause of the purge.

Zhang Pingyi nodded, "I will take care of it and recruit more students from other schools."

"There's no need to avoid suspicion." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "I only look at ability."

Zhang Pingyi glanced at Qin Shaoyan and said, "You asked Senior Brother Chen to go to Qvod.com. Did you have a plan?"

"It's nothing." Qin Shaoyan shook his head, "What you think of me is like a scheming one. I actually made it up on the spur of the moment."

Zhang Pingyi nodded, "That would be even more terrifying."

"What's so scary?" Qin Shaoyan was a little stunned.

"Isn't this kind of ability scary when you make it on the spur of the moment just like it was designed in advance?" Zhang Pingyi said seriously, "Actually, in my heart, I think you are an old silver coin who keeps thinking about how to trick people every day."

"piss off!"

……

The next morning, Qin Shaoyan drove his Wuling Hongguang slowly to a stop in front of a teahouse.

After getting out of the car, Qin Shaoyan raised his head and glanced at the sign hanging outside. Four diamond-shaped wooden boards were nailed horizontally to the lintel, with a word written on each board.

"Civilized gathering"

Qin Shaoyan pushed open the solid wood store door, and two waiters in red cheongsam bowed together, "Welcome our distinguished guests."

The interior of the teahouse is decorated in an antique style, and the waitresses in the lobby are all wearing cheongsams, carrying copper teapots, and walking back and forth with towels on their arms.

The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, grass and tea, and there was a row of birdcages hanging under the beams next to them, with the canaries inside singing incessantly.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Qin Shaoyan went straight to the second floor and came to a private room.

Hao Zhiqiang had already been waiting inside. When he saw Qin Shaoyan arriving, he stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Qin is here."

"This place chosen by Director Hao is really elegant." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I am a bit unaccustomed to such a vulgar person coming in. I usually drink wine and coffee with others, but this is my first time drinking tea."

Hao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "You said you don't want to drink, and I can't drink coffee, so I can only ask you to come to the teahouse."

"Forget about drinking." Qin Shaoyan said with a wry smile, "I have been drinking every day during the two days of vacation. I really can't drink anymore."

"It was better when I was a student. I was free and carefree. But now I am becoming more and more restricted. People who drink together are either from the city or from the ministry."

"This section chief and that division chief can't do it without drinking, so I force myself to drink it."

Hao Zhiqiang felt sad and said with emotion: "Yes, I can't help myself when I go to work. There are too many social activities."

"So drinking tea is good." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Drinking tea and chatting makes you feel happy and doesn't hurt your body."

"It's just that this teahouse doesn't look cheap, which cost Director Hao a lot of money."

"It's nothing that costs money." Hao Zhiqiang laughed, "Let me introduce to you. This is the real owner of the treat. I'm just a middleman."

"This is Director Meng Xueyi Meng."

"This is the CEO of Campus Network, Mr. Qin Shaoyan."

Meng Xueyi is about forty years old, with a Chinese character face, wearing a black suit, and the gold-rimmed glasses on his face making him look somewhat elegant.

"Hello, Director Meng." Qin Shaoyan looked at the other person and warmly stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

"Don't call me Director Meng, just call me Mr. Meng." Meng Xueyi smiled and shook Qin Shaoyan's hand, "Mr. Qin is really young and promising. He has become a leader in the industry at a young age."

"I don't want to take it seriously." Qin Shaoyan said modestly, "Times make heroes. I just caught up with the trend of the Internet. Mr. Meng, don't call me Mr. Qin, just call me Xiao Qin."

"Calling President Qin is indeed too formal." Meng Xueyi said obediently, "Xiao Qin, please sit down."

The three of them politely took their seats, and then a waiter in a cheongsam came in with a tea set and started making tea.

Soon the aroma of tea filled the private room, and the light fragrance was refreshing.

"The Yuqian Longjing here is soaked with water from Yuquan Mountain. Xiao Qin, come and taste it." Meng Xueyi made an inviting gesture.

Qin Shaoyan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put it down again and said slowly: "It is said that Longjing tea is as sweet and fragrant as orchid, quiet but not harsh. It is indifferent when you sip it, and it seems tasteless. After drinking it, you feel a sense of peace." , It is between the teeth and cheeks. This taste is tasteless. "

"But, I can't drink to this level. It would be a waste of natural resources."

Meng Xueyi smiled and said, "There is something special about drinking tea. Our Chinese tea culture of thousands of years is extensive and profound, so we should slowly taste it and understand it slowly."

"Xiao Qin, this is your first time drinking, you may not be used to it, please try again."

Qin Shaoyan put down the tea cup directly, "Tea is good tea, but the taste is different due to different moods."

"I really can't understand my current state of mind."

Ping, you big-headed devil, I have hundreds of thousands per second, so how can I have time to drink tea slowly with you here?

Return it to you and taste it carefully.
