Chapter 1445 The Enterprising Xiao Zha
"Hi," Zuckerberg raised his head slightly, greeted his colleagues at the table next to him, took out his computer and a bottle of Gatorade sports drink from his backpack, and started working as soon as he sat down.
His deskmate was not much more enthusiastic than him. He tilted his face and nodded to him hastily. He probably didn't spend any time thinking about this greeting. His body was still leaning forward, his eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and his hands were still there. He was typing on the keyboard quickly - it seemed that this person was in a state of mind.
Looking up and looking around, this is a big place, but because everyone has different styles of decoration, and even the walls around some people have graffiti that others can't understand, it makes the office look a bit messy. In fact, such people don't few.
Many people have no time to care about anything else at this time, and their entire body and mind are focused on one or more screens in front of them.
The computer and the string of characters on the screen were their entire world at this time.
Zuckerberg likes this world.
Although he had only arrived for a few days, Zuckerberg integrated quickly. Because he had also written a version of Facebook, it only took him a few hours to figure out the company's basic code framework and product process.
After devoting himself to work, Zuckerberg was also unaware of the passage of time. When he encountered a problem and habitually stood up and walked around to think, the hour hand was already pointing to 16 o'clock.
The seats were already quite empty at this time. In the specially set up game room, some people were lying on the sofa playing XBOX, and some were sitting on the floor playing PS2. Around them, you could see snacks scattered on the ground, and some people fell on the ground. wine bottle.
The long tables and round tables on the lawn downstairs were also full of people at this time. Some people were writing codes with all their heart and soul just like in the office. Others did not make any movements with their hands and looked intently in one direction, like He was meditating, but also seemed to be in a daze.
Zuckerberg likes the atmosphere.
In this office, Zuckerberg likes to pace back and forth, which is not eye-catching.
Because of the relaxed atmosphere, many guys have quirks. For example, some like to spin their pens when they are thinking about problems, and spin a pen in a dizzying manner.
When some people are thinking about problems, they like to eat snacks and stuff large amounts of bloated food into their mouths.
Some are even weirder. He doesn't like to eat them. He likes to pinch them. He takes a pack of crunchy ones and crushes them one by one through the packaging bag...
Some people go to the game room to play a few games, and some simply go to take a nap...
Zuckerberg just paced back and forth in the area behind his desk, sometimes looking out the window, sometimes looking at the floor, sometimes looking at the computer, sometimes holding his hands, sometimes with his arms crossed...
I don’t know how many times they went back and forth, but someone tapped him on the shoulder. It was Mike, "Zach, Feng is back, he wants to see you,"
"Oh," Zuckerberg woke up from his reverie and glanced at the conference room over there. The man left a deep impression on him and his net worth increased by several billion dollars compared to the last time they met. The young rich man is sitting on a chair and talking on the phone.
"Thank you Mike, I'll be there right away,"
He took out a document from his bag.
At the door of the conference room, he met Saverin who was also rushing over. The latter seemed very excited and hugged him, "Behave well."
Looking at the young man inside who was not a few years older than himself, Zuckerberg felt pressure somehow.
That's the pressure caused by the huge gap.
Feng Yiping held his mobile phone and raised his hand to say hello to them. Zuckerberg and Saverin quickly walked over to shake hands with him.
"Okay Bezos, I happen to be going to Seattle soon," Feng Yiping was still talking on his phone, smiling and pointing to the pile of drinks on the table.
"No problem, I will definitely come with a few opinions," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"I'm looking forward to it very much, but Feng, I can't give you any more benefits this time," Bezos seemed to be busy over there, speaking very quickly.
"No, you don't need to give me any benefits this time, as long as you give me some suggestions,"
Saverin quietly gestured to Zuckerberg, "Amazon,"
Zuckerberg doesn't need to be reminded of this. The only person who can have such a pleasant conversation with Feng Yiping is Bezos.
What surprised him was that it seemed that the rumors were true, and Bezos really gave up to Feng Yiping for a few opinions.
This young boss seems to have far more vision and insight than ordinary people.
"Okay, see you then," Feng Yiping hung up the phone and walked towards them with a smile, "Sorry, I just got back today."
He shook hands with the two men once again and said, "Welcome to join you."
"Thank you Feng, thank you for giving us this opportunity,"
"So, how are you, Zach and Saverin? Are you still adapting to life here?" Feng Yiping sat down next to Zuckerberg.
"Thanks to the company for providing us with the house and car. We like it very much,"
"Haha, as long as you like it, are you satisfied with the office environment and other aspects?
“Very satisfied with the office and restaurant, this is our favorite place,”
"We are a young company, and there is no strict hierarchy. Whether it is work or life, if you have any opinions, you can directly mention it to me. I also hope that the two of you can work together on the big platform of Facebook. Realize your dream." After chatting for a few words, Feng Yiping wanted to end the conversation.
"Speaking of which, Feng, I have, oh, we have an idea," Zuckerberg said, pulling out the folder.
"Oh, tell me," they all know their professional backgrounds, so what they want to talk about now is definitely not a technical issue. Feng Yiping was really curious for a moment.
"Feng, Mike, you may all know that I used to be a hacker,"
Feng Yiping and Mike both nodded. After Saverin took the initiative to contact the company, the company naturally did some research on these two young people who claimed to have written similar software.
Zuckerberg hacked into the server in the school dormitory and downloaded all the photos of everyone. This is a typical hacker behavior.
"It is understandable that this kind of behavior is often done by many young people who are confident in their skills," Feng Yiping said. "Mike, you have done similar things before, right?"
"Yes, I've accessed NASA servers before," Mike said.
Well, the Pentagon and NASA, these two departments that control many of the most advanced high-tech systems, are the first popular units that many hackers try.
Many people who hack into NASA may first want to know whether there is Area 51 and whether there are aliens.
As for the Pentagon, well, these are mostly men's hackers, and who wouldn't be interested in the most powerful force system on the planet?
Zuckerberg glanced at the CEO and was very interested in having a conversation on the spot. However, he finally knew that he was not the boss, and he could not follow his own temper in front of the boss.
"I think many programmers have been hackers, or have behaved like this," Zuckerberg said. "So, can we introduce hacker culture into the company?"
He looked at his two bosses and said, "I think this has at least three benefits. First, it reflects the openness and inclusiveness of our company, and it can also increase everyone's enthusiasm and interest in work."
"Second, we can hold some activities that everyone likes, such as hackathons within the company, and set different themes each time based on everyone's interests,"
"Third, if the company does this, it will attract many hackers to join us. We know that many of these hackers are technical experts,"
He looked at Mike and Feng Yiping nervously. This was the first suggestion he made after arriving at the company.
Mike listened attentively, but didn't seem to appreciate it too much. As for the young wealthy boss, he kept smiling while he was speaking, and only sometimes tapped his hand on the conference table.
"Mike, what do you think?" Feng Yiping asked Mike.
"There is a merit," Mike said. "Such a suggestion will definitely be supported by some programmers."
Those who are into hacker culture will definitely appreciate this advice.
"However, given that we are a social network company with countless users' personal information stored in the company's data centers, I think introducing a hacker culture at the company level may cause users to worry,"
The CEO doesn't seem to support it, and Zuckerberg and Saverin are getting nervous!
Feng doesn't understand technology, and he probably doesn't understand hackers either. So regarding technology, he may rely on Mike's advice. So are all our careful preparations in vain?
They looked at their technically amateur boss as if asking for help.
