Chapter 1579: Lack of People

After returning to Shanghai, Yang Dongxu basically stayed at Honor Mobile.

Compared with other companies, they were on the right track and just operated normally. Smartphones are developing rapidly every day, and they are constantly encountering problems of one kind or another.

For example, when fruit cutting on smartphones made everyone's eyes light up, many game developers discovered that there was still an undeveloped virgin land of mobile games.

Countless game companies with their own ideas began to quietly spend a lot of money on mobile games. After all, compared with the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of R&D funds and operating costs of terminal games.

The capital required for a small mobile game is undoubtedly only one-tenth of that of terminal games, or even less.

So during this period, various mobile games began to appear, which opened up a new source of income for Honor Mobile and brought new challenges to smartphones.

The new source of income is easy to understand, because if the game wants to enter the software of Honor Mobile, it has to pay. The fee is not much, only 10% of the software fee.

Compared with Apple's 20-30% of various management and operating expenses in later generations, this fee is undoubtedly very conscientious.

However, in addition to software charges, these game companies cannot do without Alipay if they want players to recharge, and Alipay can also charge a sum of money for using it.

So it must be said that Ma Fengyun's vision of separating Alipay in his previous life was not ordinary.

But let's not talk about this for now, let's go back to the matter of Honor mobile phones charging for mobile games.

This management fee is not given for free, it requires work.

For example, while charging, you have the obligation to make the smartphone platform a good one, right?

How to make the game run more smoothly in the mobile phone system and give players the best experience. This is a great challenge for both mobile phone hardware and software.

Therefore, how to improve system performance, how to improve the computing power of mobile phone chips, make the game quality higher definition and smoother, and how to increase the game hard disk space so that the player's mobile phone memory will not appear too crowded.

This is a new challenge for Honor mobile phones.

Of course, it is a challenge and an opportunity, and it is also an important reliance on whether smartphones can occupy the market in the future.

A smartphone that can't even make mobile games smooth can probably only go to Africa to see the market. In the mainstream smartphone market, it is simply untenable and no customers are willing to buy it.

Of course, in addition to mobile games, there is also Weixin, which seems to be very similar to YY, but is better and more popular, and the short video platform that finally occupies the mainstream of the market.

As long as the rhythm is right, let alone other things, in the next ten years, as long as there is no earth-shaking gap in mobile phone hardware. Yang Dongxu can still sit on the Diaoyutai with these software alone.

Therefore, we have to bite the first hard bone now-mobile games!

Although Boss Qiao is powerful, he is optimistic about the future of smartphones, but he is not as clear as Yang Dongxu about what the market will be like after the launch of smartphones and how to improve the supporting facilities.

Therefore, the core of Apple and most smartphones at present is to produce smartphones to achieve a thorough transformation of the traditional sense of mobile phones.

Therefore, even for Boss Qiao, the performance of smartphones he cares about is still more traditional functions.

For example, improving the pixel of the mobile phone camera makes the mobile phone a simpler digital camera.

Integrating MP3 and MP4 into smartphones, the touch of the smart screen of the mobile phone, the smoothness of the system operation and other performance. Games are only one of the functions that Boss Qiao cares about, but not all.

Even if he has played the apple cutting game on the Honor mobile phone, it feels pretty good.

But this game is more of a novelty, and in fact, it feels boring after playing for a while.

Therefore, in his cognition, the most basic performance of the mobile phone is the biggest reliance for him to defeat the Honor mobile phone.

Under such a blind spot of vision, mobile games are not only a channel that can add a source of income for Honor mobile phones.

At the same time, when Apple mobile phones are launched next year, Honor will once again be one of the boosters to open up with the other party.

The control of the upstream of the production chain, while ensuring that the experience of other functions of the smartphone is not bad, focuses on improving the experience of chat software and mobile game software.

This time, Honor mobile phones will not have to worry about their dominant position in the next five years. Therefore, this development direction must be thoroughly implemented at the first time.

Yang Dongxu has to stay in the company and keep an eye on the changes to feel more at ease.

"The software is actually not a big problem. The current constraint is still the hardware. Whether it is the computing power of the mobile phone chip, the space of the memory card, or the heating problem of the mobile phone motherboard, there is actually no way to effectively solve it."

Lei Jun said helplessly.

If you say that the smartphone system cannot maximize the hardware functions, this is his responsibility.

But now Honor's Pangu smart system is three versions higher than the current system. But the hardware functions cannot keep up, and there is really nothing he can do about it.

"Let's strengthen the functions of deep image quality processing and high-definition video fluency. The hardware will be handed over to Dongxu Technology.

They are also looking for hardware partners. It is a bit unrealistic for one person to handle all the hardware.

So what Honor needs to do in the future is to ensure the superiority of Pangu smart system computing and the leading position in mobile phone chip design.

As for mobile phone cameras, motherboards, and batteries, we can just look for top partners around the world.

At the same time, we can outsource the production of mobile phones to reduce the burden on the production line.

Another thing is to explain to those game companies that are preparing to make mobile games. They must adapt to the calculation of the Pangu system when making games, rather than asking how an intelligent system can accommodate the programs developed by mobile game companies. There is no such reason in the world. "

"I have already communicated in this regard, and required that their game version must keep up with the real-time update of the calculation of the Pangu system." Lei Jun said.

"Are there any problems that need to be solved now?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Programmers." Lei Jun said directly, "Most of the programmers in the company are brought from Dongxu Technology.

To be honest, their technical capabilities are good, but they are all older. At present, the training of programmers in China is not in place, so many newcomers have to be trained from scratch, and there is a slight gap in the talent ladder. ”

There was a period of time in the later generations when the news of major Internet companies, such as Alibaba, NetEase, and Tencent, laying off programmers over 35 years old was all over the screen.

It stands to reason that these programmers can work in large companies and have been doing so for so many years, so their work ability is beyond doubt.

And they have worked for so many years and have extremely rich personal work experience. In other companies, such capable old employees should be treasured and feared to be poached by others.

Why do major Internet companies lay off employees?

This is obviously not a financial crisis in the company's operations. After all, the company's performance is more exaggerated every year.

The reason for dismissing old employees over 35 years old is still It's a matter of changing times and cost-effectiveness.

To be realistic, domestic programmers are scarce at this stage, so major companies offer very high salaries to retain their own programmers.

Some programmers are even offered manager-level salaries when they are poached.

So this leads to generally high salaries for domestic programmers, and once the salary goes up, it's impossible to lower it.

After a few years, college students began to flood the domestic programmer market. Compared with young people who are willing to work overtime, younger and have lower salaries. As a company boss, who would you choose?

So the fundamental reason for being fired is that there are cheaper alternatives. Products.

Of course, Honor now needs to train younger programmers, and cost-effectiveness is only one aspect. What is more important is the reserve of talent ladder.

At the same time, programmers of Honor or Dongxu Technology are actually facing the problem of being poached.

Compared with the flood of old programmers in some companies, with the hot Internet industry, many newly emerging small companies lack such experienced programmers who can lead a team.

If these people stay in Dongxu Technology or Honor Mobile Phone Company, the company will basically not give them a salary increase. Unless they are promoted, the current salary is already the ceiling of the industry and it is impossible to increase it.

Because if one person increases, all others will increase, and this company will definitely not be able to bear it.

So it is very important to train more new employees. As long as the old employees have the ability and are willing to continue working, they can continue working.

If they are unwilling to continue working and are attracted by the high salary outside, they can resign by themselves. Yang Dongxu will definitely not make it difficult for them. After all, one salary of an old employee can support several new employees who do the same thing.

In this way, the company's burden is reduced, and the old employees have found a good home, and both parties are happy.

Of course, these are low-level and middle-level grassroots programmers. The welfare benefits given by Yang Dongxu, a reserve of high-end talents, are top-notch in China and internationally.

These are irreplaceable treasures, and the new ones are just replaceable people.

"Have you talked to the colleges? ”

In China, if you want to recruit professional employees in batches, the talent market is the choice that only the lowest-level companies will make. Companies with only a little bit of connections and channels will go straight to colleges and universities.

Young, passionate, motivated, and cheap college students are the best choice for every company.

New employees have low wages and benefits, but as long as the salary is not too excessive, the other party can accept it. After the internship period, you can work, and the salary can be increased little by little from the beginning.

Every salary increase will stimulate employees' work passion. When the salary is increased to the ceiling, it will have been several years.

Unlike the old employees now, whose original salary is tens of thousands, it is better not to increase it by a few hundred yuan. The company is not a welfare club if you increase it by a few thousand yuan.

At the same time, new employees have greater potential for training, and maybe one or two geniuses can be discovered.

Old employees have been stereotyped for so many years, and they will be the same if they are trained again, and the surplus value is greatly reduced.

"I have contacted them, but the gap is still a bit large. The Internet market has been too hot in recent years, and everyone is scrambling for people. There are even many companies that have turned their attention to some core talents to those foreign companies.

Now if you have a resume working at Google or Amazon, your salary can be increased by one level. "Lei Jun said helplessly.

Everyone is competing for talent, which will undoubtedly make the cost-effectiveness of talent lower and lower. Often, many new recruits recruited by high-tech companies do not have the personal ability to match their salary.

But it is still necessary to compete, because if you don't compete, you won't even have such unqualified employees.

"I'll find a channel for you. You can go to northern Russia to have a look. The universities in northern Russia are still good. Don't even think about the United States and Europe. Now the European and American Internet markets are almost fighting to death.

It would be a blessing if he doesn't come to us to poach people at this time. Those who want to poach them probably have no hope in the next two years.

Well. You can also take a look at the Indian market. There are also many talents in software in India. "

Yang Dongxu said after a pause.

Not to mention Northern Russia. Although the economy is depressed, there are endless mathematical geniuses and many talents in computers.

India is a bit of a latecomer.

Don't think that India is as dirty and messy as reported on the Internet when you mention India. At the same time, there are various human rights issues that are unequal to women.

Such a big country, if it is really so unbearable, it would have fallen apart long ago. How could the GDP be gradually increasing?

Let alone software development, many large American technology companies have many Indian or Indian-American technical talents.
