Chapter 217 The division plan of Neihan Duanzi(1/2)
This is actually normal, because Penguin's supercomputer was mainly used as a server. The mobile game Xu Jiale was responsible for was one of Penguin's flagship mobile games, so it was natural to have a supercomputer as a server.
And that supercomputer is not only responsible for one game, it is also the server for several other small mobile games.
The main function of Xingyuan's supercomputer is not a game server. Later, when Xingyuan's headquarters is completed, Luo Fan will buy a supercomputer with similar performance to the one he saw in his previous life to serve as a game server.
The main function of this server is to carry out big data algorithms and cloud computing related services.
The programmers at the Xingyuan Cloud Service Center already knew about Luo Fan's arrival. They were waiting at the door early for Luo Fan's arrival.
Under their leadership, Luo Fan briefly inspected the Xingyuan Cloud Service Center, and then came to the room on the first floor where the supercomputer was stored.
Luo Fan entered the core code of the voice assistant he completed into the supercomputer.
According to the general process, if you want to have a complete voice assistant, you should collect voiceprints, and then use the characteristics of the voice assistant itself as a growing AI to analyze a large number of voiceprints, so that the voice assistant slowly grows until it is finally completed.
However, Luo Fan doesn't plan to collect any voiceprints. This thing is too laborious and even requires money to buy. He can simply let the voice assistant grow like a big data algorithm by filtering a large amount of data from Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.
After all this was done, Luo Fan held a brief meeting with the five people. Because the supercomputer was here, the five people could not take a holiday during the Chinese New Year. They must be given three times their salary. This time, Luo Fan even gave them a letter.
Big red envelope to show encouragement.
After coming out of the Xingyuan Cloud Service Center, Luo Fan originally planned to contact Zhou Qingyun directly and talk to him about the job fair.
But as soon as Luo Fan picked up the phone, Cao Shuai happened to get a call.
Luo Fan answered the phone, and Cao Shuai's excited voice came from the receiver: "Xiao Fan, many staff members of Good News 56 announced their resignation.
It is initially estimated that there are more than 70 people, accounting for half of the entire 56.com core team. If we can recruit all these people, there will be no shortage of technical personnel at Neihan Duanzi."
Luo Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is really good news.
56 is one of the earliest video websites in China, only slightly later than Tudou. The early 56 was also one of the video websites with the best technology in China. It has become the three major video websites with Youku and Tudou. Unfortunately, 56 is now dead in name only.
As early as 2007, 56's market valuation was no less than US$80 million. As a result, 4 years later, in 2011 last year, 56 sold itself for US$80 million.
In Luo Fan's view, the decline of 56 is actually inevitable.
The early competition among video websites was mainly about financing capabilities, public relations capabilities and the ability to integrate the upstream and downstream of the industry chain.
56 has no advantages in these aspects and can only actively marginalize itself.
This resulted in the bandwidth and copyright competition after 56 being unable to cope with the competition and gradually falling behind.
Coupled with last year's one-month site closure incident, 56 was severely damaged and had no chance to turn around, so it was forced to sell 56.
And some employees at 56 are definitely not willing to serve the new boss.
Luo Fan had previously felt that a group of 56 employees would definitely leave. According to his idea, he could directly recruit these experienced employees to his staff, and then use these people to fill the vacancies of Neihan Duanzi and pull up Neihan Duanzi's team.
Then the connotative paragraphs can be separated from the daily headlines.
It’s been half a year since the connotation jokes were added to the daily headlines.
Since Neihan Duanzi was launched in the middle of last year, it was only tested in small batches at first, then slowly expanded its scope, and finally fully launched.
With the huge traffic of daily headlines, and the contents are all classic funny clips filtered through big data, there are film and television clips of Xingye, funny TV series clips of Bald Zhang, various American dramas and sitcoms, and
In recent years, there have been some show-off scenes in domestic dramas and various comedy variety shows at home and abroad.
However, the most popular content now is all kinds of original videos. Even if some of them imitate film and television clips, the original content will get higher traffic tilt, and the content creators will make more money, which will attract outsiders and
People who used to rely on video cutting create their own content.
With the virtuous cycle, the daily traffic provided by Neihan Duanzi to Toutiao is also increasing. In other words, by this time, Neihan Duanzi can become independent and become another core product of Toutiao.
Neihan Duanzi is loved by a large number of netizens just like in its previous life. In just a few months, it has become the section with the largest traffic in daily headlines, and the early accumulation has basically been completed.
At this time, it is most appropriate to separate Neihan Duanzi from Daily Toutiao.
The only problem is that Neihan Duanzi lacks a professional technical team, and it may not be able to operate well if it is branched out now.
The large number of employees at 56.com are leaving their jobs. To Luo Fan, this means giving him pillows for sleep. Can this be done properly?
"Brother, how many of these people can you poach?" Luo Fan asked.
"With our company's conditions, we can recruit at least 50 people."
"Okay! Then let's aim for 50 people. The more the merrier. Brother, I'll leave this to you."
"Well, I'll do it right away."
Because of the staff of 56.com, Luo Fan did not plan to stay in his hometown for a long time. He handed over the job fair to Li Jingyi and Gao Meng, and also gave Zhou Qingyun's phone number to them.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I returned to Shanghai.
Three days later, on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Shuai brought representatives from 56.com employees.
Except for Li Jingyi and Gao Meng, all the senior executives of Xingyuan came to the conference room.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The employee representative of 56.com is a short-haired woman in her early 30s. She wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a well-tailored black women's suit. She is considered a white-collar woman in the workplace.
standard dress.
"Boss, this is Zhou Yuqing, the original deputy general manager of 56.com." Cao Shuai pointed at Zhou Yuqing and said.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"Hello, Mr. Luo."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Luo Fan got straight to the point and asked: "Mr. Zhou, you should have seen our sincerity. Can you tell us your thoughts?"
Zhou Yuqing heard this and said: "General Manager Cao has already negotiated with us regarding positions, funds, and career development prospects.
However, many technical staff from 56.com have already settled in the Imperial Capital, and many of them are unwilling to come to Shanghai. This time I came here on their behalf to ask Mr. Luo if it is possible to set up a branch or technical department in the Imperial Capital to allow
Can they go to work nearby?”
Zhou Yuqing, as the former vice president of 56, has great affection for the people who work with her, and naturally does not want her team to disband.
Moreover, the conditions offered by Xingyuan are not bad. She has already done research on the Neihan Duanzi project, and the potential is indeed very good. Being able to become the vice president of this project is very suitable for Zhou Yuqing now.
In addition, Cao Shuai has said openly and secretly that this vice president is only a vice president in name only. As long as he can achieve results, he will be promoted to a regular position soon.
The leader of a department in Xingyuan is much more powerful than the president of 56.com.
But as Zhou Yuqing just said, many of her men have settled in the imperial capital, and many of them are unwilling to let them come to Shanghai now.
Luo Fan frowned when he heard this. In his opinion, the total number of resigned employees from 56.com such as Zhou Yuqing was only 70. The cost of moving to Shanghai was not high. Moving the team to Shanghai at this time was to facilitate future internal cooperation.
sex.
Which one is more convenient: being separated from each other or being in the same headquarters? You can figure it out with your butt, right?
However, Luo Fan also understands what Zhou Yuqing said. After all, 56.com has always been based in Yanjing, and most of its employees have already married and established businesses in Yanjing. It is indeed a bit troublesome to let employees go to work in Shanghai.
But with the current scale of 56.com, one headquarters is enough. Setting up a branch will not only increase costs, but also cause difficulties in cooperation between departments.
Thinking of this, Luo Fan said: "Mr. Zhou, it is unnecessary to waste time on such a trivial matter.
You can tell your employees that Neihan Duanzi is the core project of Xingyuan in the future. The future of 56.com’s technical staff will definitely be much brighter than now after joining Neihan Duanzi.
For this future, they must give up their families for a period of time, and they cannot have their cake and eat it too.
Of course, it won't take too long to give up. Just because Xingyuan won't build a branch in the Imperial Capital now doesn't mean it won't in the future.
When Neihan Duanzi is stable, we will definitely set up a branch in the Imperial City, and they can go back.
If we still disagree, we will have to abandon some of the people who don't want to come.
Mr. Zhou, you must know that time is money. It is not worthwhile to waste a month or two on this trivial matter.
Our conditions are like this and will not change."
After listening to Luo Fan's words, Zhou Yuqing thought for a moment and asked: "Mr. Luo, how long is the specific period of time you mentioned?"
"Three to four years."
"In other words, in 2015 or 2016, will Xingyuan set up a branch in the Imperial Capital?" Zhou Yuqing asked.
"That's right, and the 3 to 4 years I mentioned include the time it takes to build the Star Far North Headquarters in the imperial capital."
"Okay, Mr. Luo, I agreed on their behalf." Zhou Yuqing gritted her teeth and said.
"That's great, Mr. Zhou, when can you bring someone over?" Luo Fan asked.
"Mr. Luo, I still have some shares of 56 to be disposed of. It may take about two weeks, but they can come over at any time." Zhou Yuqing replied.
"Mr. Zhou, in my opinion you are much more important than the employees, so be it! We will buy the shares of 56.com in your hands directly. The matter of arguing with 56.com will be left to our company's financial and legal affairs.
You don’t need to worry about it, just concentrate on the work of Neiwan Duanzi.”
"But...but Mr. Luo, I own 12% of the shares in Mobile Phone, which costs 9.6 million yuan."
"This little money is nothing, and the shares have been transferred to our mobile phone. It is expected to be sold in a few weeks. We have no interest in 56 Network. We just want to save your time as much as possible. Mr. Qin, you will be responsible for handling this matter. No problem
Right?" Luo Fan turned to Qin Beibei and asked.
Qin Beibei thought for a while and said: "Boss, our acquisition of 56.com's shares may cause some trouble. Although 56.com is not listed, like other Internet companies, there are many shareholders behind it. Now 56.com shareholders are cashing out and leaving.
, the news cannot be hidden.
Not to mention, for such domestically registered companies, changes in shareholders also need to be reported.
If we let the media know that we hold shares in 56 Network, it is likely to be over-interpreted, which will have some impact on the market value of 56 Network."
