Chapter 1102 Fortunately I Have You

Unlike other companies that at least look full of energy in the morning, Google, which is in a critical period, still looks a little awake in the morning.

At this time, the company's coffee machine was similar to the time card machine of other companies. The engineers went there to report one by one, returned to their seats with a large cup of coffee, drank the large cup, rubbed their eyes, and shook it. Shaking his head, he immediately continued his unfinished work.

The difference from before is that there are obviously more people in the company who, although they are not wearing suits, their energy and energy are obviously different from these coders. They should not be like these engineers, so busy that they have no time to distinguish between day and night. People are newly added sales personnel or other personnel not directly responsible for product development.

As the development of new products becomes smoother and smoother, search share is getting larger and larger, and advertising revenue is getting higher and higher, Page is becoming more and more confident. Finally, he no longer has to worry about losing his dominance, and he has no need to worry about Schmidt building a sales team. Needs, finally no longer ignore or set limits.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that the people Schmidt recruited all have computer backgrounds.

At the same time, this is indeed a realistic need. As more and more products are developed, it has become important for the public to understand all the services the company can provide, and then be willing to accept and use these services. These things rely on software engineers We can't, it has to be done by professionals.

Without these professional salespeople, some of the best products Google has launched and will soon launch will not have the market effect they deserve.

However, due to the influence of the founder, these salespeople with computer backgrounds are naturally not as valued as software engineers in the company.

Engineers can be arrogant and indifferent, holding computers under their arms and walking sideways in slippers in the aisles, while these salespeople are much more low-key.

Feng Yiping was the same. When he entered the company, he consciously stepped aside, but he felt very relieved when he saw these busy people working, whether they were arrogant engineers or low-key sales staff.

By next year, whether your wealth will increase by US$3 billion or US$4 billion will all depend on the work of these people.

But people like him, no matter how low-key they are, can sometimes still be as eye-catching as fireflies in the night sky. Mayer, who was holding a few folders, recognized the guy in the gray sweater and khaki pants in front of him at a glance. Which guy.

Although I haven't seen the front yet, I can guess just by looking at his brisk steps that he is in a good mood, so Mayer is not in a good mood. Just by looking at his back, I can guess that this guy last night What have you done.

Feng Yiping, who had a sunny smile and was actually humming quietly, was hit on the back by someone moderately, "It's okay, buddy,"

After he finished speaking, he realized that the person behind him was a beautiful female clerk.

"Are you in a good mood," Mayer said.

"That is, as soon as I enter the company, I will be in a very good mood. How can I be in a bad mood when I see you again?"

"It's true," Mayer muttered, "I want to see my gift as soon as possible," she finished her sentence and ignored Feng Yiping. For a project leader like her, things are going to change now. Too much too much.

"What do you expect me to give you?" Feng Yiping said heartily.

Before he could reach his office, an electric car painted in Google's four standard colors of blue, red, yellow and green crossed lightly in front of him. "Feng," Brin gave him a big hug, "Welcome back,"

"Thank you, man. Where's Paige?"

"In the conference room, let's go, it's almost time for the evaluation meeting,"

…………

"Okay, how's it going?"

At this time, the style of Google's meetings was still very sharp, and it still didn't feel like a discussion, but like a quarrel.

However, after more than ten minutes passed, even Page put down his computer and looked at Feng Yiping slightly nervously, "What is your comment?"

Just now, while they were arguing, oh no, discussing, Feng Yiping had been experiencing the upcoming browser.

"I think it's pretty good," Feng Yiping said affirmatively, facing the expectant eyes around him.

Then everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Easy to install and simple interface,”

Hearing this, Mayer, who was also present at the meeting, felt a little proud. She was responsible for the product interface.

"Stable performance, safe to use, and powerful settings." Feng Yiping did not hesitate to praise the browser developed by Google several years in advance. If such a good product is released before it goes on the market, it is impossible not to have a positive impact on the stock price. Influence.

"Feng, just say it's not enough." After receiving the "very good" evaluation, Page didn't want to hear more of Feng Yiping's words of praise and affirmation.

"Okay, I very much appreciate everyone's talent and hard work. Many people know that I can't even write a line of code now, so professionally, I have no objections and I can't offer any opinions."

"What I want to say is some usage experience," Feng Yiping said. "In terms of usage, I have some small opinions for your reference. Of course, I don't know whether these functions are difficult to implement, but I know that if these functions If the function can be realized, the user experience of our browser will definitely be much better than other browsers,"

Feng Yiping walked to the whiteboard on the wall, thinking back to the functions in the browser that he later got used to. He first mentioned one in the order of use, "First, when we enter the URL, can we implement the URL prompt input and automatic completion function?"

"For example, if we enter the two words "White House", the browser will help us automatically complete the URL. I think we started with search and have a unique advantage in this regard,"

Page whispered to Brin, "It's really good, is there anything else?"

"Also, can we add a history query function? List the browsing history of the recent period in the form of a list, so that whether we accidentally close the browser or want to look at the webpage we just closed, it will be very quick and convenient. Even if there is an error, restart the browser and you can get the open webpage back,"

This should not be too difficult for Google, which is proficient in search.

"Third, after the installation is complete, can we automatically import the password information in the default IE browser into our Google browser? This saves us from having to enter it one by one from the beginning when we open the relevant website."

"At the same time, at some times, can we choose whether to keep or automatically clear the history records and personal information left during the Internet surfing process through settings and definitions according to our actual needs?"

"For example, some browsing records that we don't want our boyfriends and girlfriends to see?..."

Feng Yiping recalled some of his later experiences with the browser while writing his opinions on the whiteboard.

From everyone's expressions, it can be seen that most of the opinions he raised were not considered by everyone, and they are also sure that if they can really do what Feng Yiping said, then the user experience of their browser will definitely be top-notch.

The engineers, including Page, Brin, and Schmidt, are all thinking nervously at this time. Is it realistic to achieve the goals that Feng Yiping just proposed?

Several vice presidents who have just taken office are looking at Feng Yiping with some strangeness. What kind of eyes are they looking at? After only trying it for more than ten minutes, you can come up with so many helpful suggestions?

They didn't think for long, because the big boss had already made a decision for everyone, "The areas that Yiping mentioned for improvement are all good directions. After preliminary analysis, it is not difficult to implement these additional functions. Please organize the relevant development immediately,"

…………

"Feng, I'm so glad to have you here," Page looked at him happily and said, "I insisted on letting you experience the product that will be launched soon. Now it seems that it is really necessary,"

"Isn't it awkward to tell me this? I'm glad I can help,"

"Haha, yes, next, there are some issues that need your opinion, which are about some arrangements for listing work,"

This, even if he didn't mention it, Feng Yiping was also ready to ask it actively, which has always been one of his core concerns.

"Feng, let me briefly explain the latest news about the listing to you," Schmidt was responsible for introducing this part.

…………

Zheng Jiayi and Wu Xinyang, with excitement and excitement, were temporarily assigned to several project teams of NEXTDOOR along with other colleagues.

Unlike Feng Yiping's important role in the Google meeting at this time, they were not assigned any challenging tasks on the first day. They listened to the project team's discussion meeting with a vague understanding, and tried to write down the opinions expressed by senior employees. Then, the senior employees carried out work based on the discussion results of the meeting. Most of them could only help organize the materials, and only a few could help collect materials.

But even such a work without any difficulty, they still did it meticulously.

Now, what they urgently need is not how to stand out in the work, but to understand the work process, habits, usual methods, how to divide the work and collaborate..., and other universal experiences.

"It feels like I'm back to the time when I just went to the company for internship in my senior year," Wu Xinyang found time to say a few words to Zheng Jiayi after having lunch with his group.

"It's another internship period now," Zheng Jiayi said, "In fact, I feel more like I was just sent to the first grade by my parents, preparing for enlightenment. I don't know anything, but I am very eager and ready to devote all my body and mind to work hard,"

"It's just that those senior students don't seem to be much ahead of us, right?" Wu Xinyang was a little relieved.

They all have work experience and have their own thoughts on some specific issues discussed in their group just now. I feel that the opinions of those senior employees are not surprising.

"Yes," Zheng Jiayi also agreed, "I have confidence all of a sudden,"

"Hey, look, why do people here, whether from our company or other companies, dress so casually? It's rare to see someone wearing a suit?" Wu Xinyang said something she didn't understand.

Although they didn't study computer science, they all had impressions of some well-known programmers in China. From Qiu Bojun before to the second place on this year's rich list, Ding, they usually appeared in suits.

"I also heard from Feng Yiping that Silicon Valley has a different understanding of dress. They don't care whether the job seeker is in a suit, but care about knowledge. There seems to be a study that says that the failure rate of people wearing suits is higher than those wearing casual clothes."

"Really?"

"That's true. Of course, this certainly doesn't apply to all industries. The reason behind it is probably that the company hopes that employees can work in a relaxed environment as much as possible. In this state, their work efficiency will be high."

"However, some companies' human resources departments said that at least during interviews, wearing jeans and sneakers is not acceptable. Suitable,"

"In short, the United States values ​​individuality, and many companies are the same, so sometimes there are even completely opposite requirements,"

"For example, when recruiting, some companies hope to meet those who are very strict and even the furnishings on the desk are strictly in accordance with the standards, but some, such as General Motors, pay special attention to whether the desk is messy when recruiting employees, and even ask you whether you squeeze the toothpaste from the middle or the back. They think that such unconventional people will not follow the ordinary path and will be very creative,"

"Did Feng Yiping say that?" Wu Xinyang said with a smile.

"He really said that,"

ps: I have set up a group, 454, 231, 228, welcome everyone to come, give more valuable suggestions, and look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you!
