Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On October 14th, students from various colleges and universities officially started their internships. Since September, Meng Qian has focused on the development of the company's artificial intelligence, slowly giving his knowledge to the company's employees, and quickly planning , classified the application of artificial intelligence into projects.

So during this period of time, apart from the day of the intern briefing, Meng Qian basically stayed in the development department and R\u0026D center until the 14th because of another company high-level meeting to get out to learn about the company's recent situation.

There are three main things today. The first thing is Gu Junhui’s report, “Miguo suddenly censored Fengxin recently, and when Miguo censored Fengxin, MSN was finally updated after more than half a year. Imitated Fengxin."

"It's been less than a year since the United States began to target it." Meng Qian looked at the written report and shook his head.

"The main reason is that there is really no social software in the United States that can compare with us. Fengxin has entered an explosive period in the United States, and the number of user registrations has surpassed the local MSN. At this time, the idea of ​​American government intervention is reasonable. among."

"Why is this MSN so underwhelming?" Meng Qian couldn't help complaining. MSN, a competitor, is actually the basis for Fengxin's survival in the West. Just like Douyin's launch in the United States, no one will care about it, but when you develop to It's so popular that it even surpassed the short video app in the United States. At this time, if you don't blame anyone, "What do you think?"

"I think that since the United States has already started to take action, it may be difficult for us to protect ourselves with a conservative strategy. Anyway, we have already prepared to be kicked out by the United States, so it is better to adopt an aggressive strategy."

Meng Qian stroked his chin and weighed quickly, and finally denied Gu Junhui's idea, "It's not the best time to adopt an aggressive strategy. Didn't you say that MSN has just been updated? How is the market reaction?"

"It's not bad. In addition, Microsoft has more resources than ours in the United States, and has found many partners. In addition to their channel resources, we can't compare with him in the United States."

"Then give a good boost to MSN. As long as the US thinks that the performance of local products is better than ours, they will not be too straightforward on the surface."

After all, Gu Junhui is in business, so he understood Meng Qian's meaning in seconds, "Okay, I got it."

Xiao Boshi was next to speak, "The second negotiation with Canon went very smoothly, and they basically agreed to our requests. I think we can speed up the progress of cooperation."

"Well, I have read your report yesterday, there is no problem, you can arrange this matter."

"Okay. In addition, we have acquired six digital camera companies. The digital camera industry of our Dafeng Group is ready to move. Regarding the management of this industry, we need you to take time to arrange it."

"knew."

Xiao Bozhi had nothing else to do here, and Ding Mingyuan was the last one to speak, "After the separation of the north and the south, netizens really complained about the network deterioration. This time I communicated with China Telecom about the network accelerator. They are now There is only one idea, can we implement it as soon as possible.”

"What's their budget?"

"The hardware part of telecom is obviously not willing to give it to our company. It is built purely with software, and the budget is about 10 million."

Meng Qian asked specifically, "Did Telecom mention whose server they plan to use?"

"It's still the same company."

"Sure enough. Then we will only do software supply, this time mainly for the telecommunications line."

When Meng Qian said this, Ding Mingyuan suddenly smiled, "Although China Telecom doesn't give us hardware meat this time, China Telecom did reveal a signal that China Telecom Group is planning to change a new set of management software recently. Asked about our database."

Meng Qian immediately raised his spirits, "Is this the initiative of Telecom?"

"That's right."

"What about our database?"

"In order to catch up with the time, we have already started modular testing ahead of schedule, and Xiao Sun's recruitment has given us a lot of support. Now the database development department has more than 500 people, and they are all catching up with Oracle."

Although Oracle had 130,000 employees worldwide in 2019, Oracle had only 20,000 employees in 2002, of which more than 1,000 were engaged in databases, almost half of R\u0026D and development, and Meng Qian's rebirth advantage is largely The research and development work of this era has been completed, so only in terms of database developers, Dafeng Group and Oracle are almost the same.

But Dafeng Group has a hidden advantage, that is, Oracle is recognized as one of the laziest companies in the world. During the two large-scale layoffs in 2006 and 2019, everyone discovered miraculously that the people who came out of Oracle They're too lazy to use at all.

It is also written in the documentary of later generations visiting Oracle that the real working hours of Oracle developers are four hours per day. That's the downside.

Of course, Oracle still has an advantage, that is, it attaches great importance to R\u0026D and innovation. Although the people in the Oracle R\u0026D Center are too lazy to be famous, the Oracle R\u0026D Center is indeed a gathering place for elites in this field, and Oracle’s early deployment has monopolized this field in advance. , It’s almost the same as Microsoft’s monopoly on the system, plus software changes are not so easy, so many people in later generations say that if the working status of Oracle’s development employees were placed in an Internet company in China, the company would have closed down eight hundred years ago I'm back.

"There are so many people?" Meng Qian didn't pay attention to the situation on the database side recently. He really didn't know such details, and he was really surprised by the number. He turned his head and looked at Sun Xiaojing, "I heard that the recent domestic programmers There is a big gap, Jinshan said in August that it would recruit 1,000 people, but now it seems that 100 people have not been recruited, where did they recruit them?"

Sun Xiaojing looked at Meng Qian with an innocent face, "Jinshan and the others couldn't recruit people because they all came to us. Mr. Meng, don't forget that the Internet crisis has not completely passed yet, and other domestic companies Living is hard, only we have such a strong profitability, and only we can provide employees with such good benefits, many talents came to Hangzhou from Shanghai Yanjing just to join our Dafeng Group."

"That's it." Knowing the reason, Meng Qian didn't say much. He was reborn and knew that the most indispensable thing in China was people. After the IT industry became popular, there would be a lot of people crowding into this industry. This is not what he should have now Considering things, he returned to Ding Mingyuan, "Did Telecom say when you want to change?"

"Listen to what they say, and think before the end of the year."

"It's such a rush."

"Yes." Ding Mingyuan and Meng Qian showed embarrassed expressions at the same time.

The most difficult thing about the database is naturally the design and structure. Meng Qian has done this thing. As long as there are enough people to develop it, and it is a database of this era, it really does not take too much time. But for Dafeng Group, because there are many developers None of the personnel had any experience in database development before, so a lot of time would be wasted in testing.

Originally, at the end of the year, I planned to find some small companies to start actual combat tests one after another, and then develop into large enterprises. If I go up and connect with companies like the Telecom Group, it will inevitably be easier to expose various small problems, and big problems may not be ruled out.

But after pondering for a while, Meng Qian still made a decision, "We missed the establishment of the domestic banking system a few months ago, and we must not let Oracle snatch away the order from China Telecom. Today, the database development department will enter a surprise state. Work overtime, company benefits keep up, since Telecom is willing to take the initiative to speak up, we have to bite the bullet and do it."
