Chapter 589 Random Managers and Employees
The Empire State Building is located on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, known as the world's Wudaokou. After washing up and having breakfast in the morning, Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya drove to this place.
However, they did not visit the Empire State Building, but stopped in a building next to the main building of the Empire State Building, and then took the elevator to the 36th floor.
"Haha, beautiful boss, I felt that the sun was particularly bright when I got up today. I didn't expect to see you." As soon as he walked out of the elevator, a short and fat man in a T-shirt and big shorts came over with a look of surprise, opened his arms and wanted to hug and greet Zhou Ya, but after meeting Zhou Ya's calm eyes, he just put down his arms embarrassedly.
Looking at the man in front of him, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He really couldn't connect this greasy-looking middle-aged uncle with the various whimsical ideas and superb IT elites in the previous phone call.
While Yang Dongxu was looking at Dom Smith, Dom was also looking at him. Just like when Chinese people first saw foreigners, they always felt that these big beards looked the same.
Dom saw that Yang Dongxu was no different from other Orientals. Although he was a little face-blind, he could still tell his age. After all, Orientals are obviously not as anxious as Westerners.
Therefore, he saw that this childish guy in front of him was standing with his beautiful boss, and more importantly, the boss he had always admired was holding his arm. Dom was very unhappy when he thought that he was stopped when he just greeted her.
"You will be fired if you look at your boss like this." Yang Dongxu said to Dom teasingly.
Although he was a little surprised that the person in front of him was not a professional elite, but a greasy uncle. However, Dom looked a little funny, and he could still barely connect with the guy with a little humor on the phone.
"Are you. Xiaoxu BOSS?" Although Dom had a guess in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he got it confirmed.
He was the same psychological gap as Yang Dongxu for him, an IT elite, being a greasy uncle. Dom, who felt like he had found a confidant when he talked about various software designs and Internet development with his boss whom he had never met on the phone, always thought that his boss was one of the few people in the East who understood the Internet.
And this understanding obviously requires time to accumulate, so he estimated the age of his boss, whom he had never met, to be around 40 years old, and the guy in front of him was at most 25? Or even younger.
"If you mean the person we had a good chat on the phone, I think that person is me." Yang Dongxu nodded with a smile.
"Oh, it's incredible, how can you be so young? You actually look older than your appearance shows, right?" Dom still looked suspicious.
"According to our country's age calculation, I just turned 20 today. Do you think I look younger than 20?"
"Oh, NO, that's not it. I mean," Dom slapped his forehead with a helpless look on his face: "Okay, let's not discuss this issue. Please bring my boss inside, I hope our first meeting will be very pleasant."
"I also look forward to making it according to my requirements, and you also feel what the product of your best masterpiece looks like." Yang Dongxu smiled and followed Dom forward.
"Don't worry, boss, you will definitely be surprised. My ability combined with your ideas will definitely make the greatest product of this century. Even Bill Gates has to stand on his side in this regard." Dom did not forget to bring his boss along while praising himself.
Although this mysterious big boss and the beautiful boss stood together, I, who was only 1.6 meters tall and looked like a ball, felt that the other two seemed to be more suitable and uncomfortable.
But compared with a boss who can talk to me, respect my opinions, and more importantly, pay a good salary, the latter is slightly more important and needs to be flattered. So Dom, who looks like a fat tech geek on the surface, is obviously not as dull in emotional intelligence as the average geek.
Entering the company with the sign of Easy to Listen Music, Yang Dongxu subconsciously looked at this company that has been established for almost half a year, but he came for the first time.
The total area of the company is not large, about 100 square meters. In addition to the office with the sign of the general manager at the end, there is also a tea room, a bathroom and a conference room. It looks small but complete.
However, compared with the good office environment, the company seems to have a little few people, with only five people in the entire office area. And these five people are very similar to their leader, Dom. Everyone is dressed very casually, and Yang Dongxu even saw a guy in pajamas holding a pillow.
If he hadn't been sure that he had walked into the office area of a company and saw such a guy who seemed to have just woken up, he would have thought he had walked out of the door and entered someone's bedroom.
Pah, pah, pah. Dom clapped his hands as he entered the company, attracting the attention of the five employees. "Alright guys, cheer up and get to know our boss. I don't need to say much about this beautiful lady. Kane, you said you wanted to chase the goddess of your dreams. How about today, the goddess has a boyfriend, do you want to duel?"
"There is no manager." The young man called Kanai suppressed his face turning red. He was a little afraid to look at Yang Dongxu. He picked up a big doll in his arms and tried to block it in front of him.
If you put this action on an ordinary person, you might think that he is a shy big boy. But if you put it on Carney Wallace, a big man with a big beard and a look that is close to that of a bandit, the word "faggot" is instantly associated with people, and he is also the most popular among gays. 'A transvestite from one side.
But if you look at it yourself, especially when you see the other person’s eyes evading due to shyness, you will find that this is really a shy and introverted big boy who has nothing to do with gays. Such a strong contrasting feeling made Yang Dongxu deeply impressed by this guy when they first met.
"Oh, poor Kanai was scared again." Dom whistled, much like an old gangster teasing a little girl, and then introduced the company employees and Yang Dongxu to each other.
"I'm treating you to lunch. You can order whatever you want, and you can order takeout to be delivered to the company." Yang Dongxu said with a smile after shaking hands with everyone.
"Long live the boss." The employees who originally felt that their young boss didn't seem to be very good cheered instantly. Nothing makes these tech nerds happier than a takeout meal.
Going out for a fancy meal at a top restaurant? NO, NO, NO It's dangerous outside. Only by staying at home or in the office can people feel safe, right?
"Boss, I feel like you are going to take over my power." Dom looked at Yang Dongxu resentfully.
"If you don't want to eat, I can save the penny and give it to them as breakfast tomorrow." Yang Dongxu looked at Dom with a smile.
"Oh, God, you can't do this BOSS." Dom screamed, "Order steak for me. I want the best steak, and red wine - double portion."
After having fun for a while, the three of them entered Dom's office together. I don't know whether it was because of their big meal, or because they felt that they were really good little bosses. Dom very attentively made a cup of coffee for his little boss.
Then after sitting down, he didn't waste any time and just clicked on his latest laptop to bring up more than a dozen windows.
"This is the song ranking list you want, this is the lyrics display part, then this is the search function, and this is the screen layout." Dom displayed one frame after another and took them out individually for Yang Dongxu to see, and finally tapped the enter key with his finger. , directly showing the overall picture, not to mention that such a demonstration gives people a strong visual impact.
"It looks very good. Are there any songs? Let's try it out." Yang Dongxu looked at the layout of the entire website carefully and nodded with satisfaction.
"Of course." Dom called an acquaintance, and then typed a song name in the search column. He explained while typing: "This is just a demonstration of the search function. At present, I just put the website in a small temporary It is running on the server, conducting various tests and looking for bugs.
So this search is prepared in advance, because currently online songs do not provide such search and download. If we want the search to truly achieve the design function, we need to reserve data ourselves. "
After talking about searching for a song, it is easy to search because it is not a new song downloaded again, but a song that has been stored in the database before. So there's no loading time, and the music starts immediately as soon as the song is added to the playlist.
"This sound quality." Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows after listening to a few words.
The sound quality of the playback cannot be said to be bad, at least it is not worse than the tape. But the sound quality sounds like a movie from the 1980s and 1990s played on an old TV, and the picture always feels like it's not very clear, as if there's something behind it.
"There is no way, this is beyond our control. This song was recorded directly after editing with a small software. The sound quality of the tape is only like this, and the template is like this. Unless you spend a lot of time to modify it, the effect can only be like this. Look." Dom said helplessly.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to make the sound quality better so that customers’ ears can enjoy it better, but with the current hardware conditions, it can be said that the sound quality is 99.999% the same as that of tape playback, with almost no errors. This is already the best he can do at present. If he wants to get better, he can only spend more time doing it, but the price/performance ratio is not very high.
Because after a music website is launched, it will contain more than a few hundred songs, not thousands. With such a storage scale, in addition to uploading, each song also needs to be slowly modified to the best. It is simply an extremely huge project.
Touching his chin, Yang Dongxu also felt that his demands seemed a bit too high, and stretched out his hand to the assistant next to him: "Try the effect of this."
