Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

/*You must read the writer’s words, I’m asking for help.*/

{Time: July 13, 2005}

{Location: Planting flowers}

At 10:00 on Wednesday morning, Chen Simeng was still thinking about work when she walked out of the company. But when she walked behind the image wall, her attention was attracted by the small chat coming from the front desk.

Just by listening to the voice, Chen Simeng could tell that the speaker was Wang Ying, a newcomer who had only been employed for less than a month and was still in the training period of her management.

Speaking of which, after the company rented the entire office building in the second half of 2004, the Emperor Penguin headquarters began a rapid expansion mode.

In the past year, the total number of employees of Emperor Penguin has rapidly expanded from the original 2,000 to 6,000. This also forced her, a "newcomer" who had only joined the company for less than 2 years, to embark on the job of training senior specialists.

Position.

Although her position has been promoted and her work has been enriched, Chen Simeng feels that she is not outstanding. Because Shen Jiaqi, Lu Tao and Shen Yi in the same period have been promoted to the position of training supervisor due to their strong work and learning abilities.

Chen Simeng has always felt that she is not a person who is very ambitious in her career, but the rapid progress of her colleagues who joined the company at the same time still makes her feel a little behind. So since they surpassed her, Chen Simeng has been holding back her heart.

A surge of energy.

She wants to do better and prove that she can do it too!

"...There have been so many government workers coming to see the dean in recent days. Why do they all come at this time?"

"It's about our Emperor Penguin Maker Project and the Cambrian Industrial Park... When Mr. Yang went to the construction site a few days ago, didn't he show everyone the photos of our Cambrian Industrial Park?"

"Oh, that's right~~ Our company is very powerful now. It seems that I need to study harder to integrate with everyone."

When hearing Wang Ying's words, Chen Simeng paused the last step inside the image wall and did not step out.

Just standing there, Chen Simeng laughed unconsciously.

She suddenly discovered that the new batch of colleagues who had joined the company seemed to be very good.

At this moment, the elevator door opened. Immediately afterwards, a crisp greeting came. Not two seconds after the sound, a thin girl ran in.

"Sister Simeng~~"

"Hey~~ Zi Xin has brought coffee to the dean?"

"Hehe~~This is not coffee, I am here to give love to someone."

…

When Yang Jian answered the phone, he saw the girl named Ye Zixin through the glass at a glance. She was handing a cup of coffee to Ning Zimo, but the incomprehensible guy just nodded at her when he took it. Then.

, the girl seemed to be used to such simple exchanges, and turned around and walked out of the office.

Yang Jian shook his head helplessly and said to the other end of the phone, "Mr. Ning is in the office, but I will go there in the afternoon... He is a 22-year-old young man who doesn't even have time to fall in love, and he is still in love

During the video conference, he looked like he was frowning, as if he had encountered some difficulty, so let me help him go through these things..."

Through the glass, Yang Jian certainly didn't know the reason for Ning Zimo's frown.

He thought it was Ning Zimo who had encountered some problem, but in fact, it was just that Ning Zimo felt that the pixels of cameras of this era were too impressive.

Since Emperor Penguin currently has branches and offices all over the country, in early 2005, the Emperor Penguin Network Security Department planned to build the Emperor Penguin network conference system at the suggestion of Ning Zimo.

The head of the network security department is none other than Mo Fan, who came out to Shenzhen with Ning Zimo.

Regardless of what that guy was doing on a daily basis, apart from software, the thing that guy was most interested in in college was hacking technology. Ning Zimo felt that rather than letting that guy's strengths go nowhere, it would be better to give him a chance to fully develop them.

Therefore, the network security department, led by Mo Fan, spent half a year preparing the first self-developed network conferencing system for Emperor Penguin.

After returning to China for more than a month, Ning Zimo used this system for the first time. However, although the voice compression algorithm of this conference system uses Feixun technology, the video aspect is limited by the hardware constraints of this era.

.

Seeing Zhou Hongyi's mosaic-like face through the monitor, Ning Zimo frowned repeatedly.

This was so good, Zhou Hongyi thought it was because the boss was dissatisfied with his work.

"More than 8,000 people from more than 500 universities have signed up for the Maker Competition. It can be said that the vast majority of universities in China have already signed up... Da Dangjia, this number... is generally pretty good. After all, we in China are currently

Among the more than 1,700 universities in China, well-known universities have already signed up..."

Feeling Zhou Hongyi's sad eyes through the screen, Ning Zimo quickly smiled and said, "No, no, I'm not dissatisfied with our preparations. I just think that our online conference system is still too restricted by the hardware.

Yes. So the effect is not as good as expected."

More than 500 universities, more than 8,000 people signed up.

The Emperor Penguin Maker Competition already has 1/4 more universities and nearly 1/3 more students than the previous Baidu Design Star Competition.

Although Ning Zimo missed the Baidu Design Star Competition because of the acm competition in his previous life, he still learned about the grand occasion of that competition from relevant media reports afterwards.

After a pause, Ning Zimo continued, "If there are more than 8,000 top and suitable talents who are willing, we will win a large part of them no matter what. And the remaining players must not only focus on the winners.

People should also pay attention to those comprehensive talents with sharp thinking.

There are so many companies settled in the Cambrian Industrial Park, as well as system development-related talents in the Quaternary Laboratory, as well as companies such as Wegame, Blizzard China, ACS China, Coldplay Technology, Luban Technology, Yahoo China, etc. We Emperor Penguin,

There is still a huge demand for comprehensive talents in science and engineering.”

"Okay, don't forget our Feixun Technology, ACS headquarters and YouTube." Zhuang Zhanpeng's voice suddenly came through the speaker, "Although European engineers are good, they are still too lazy compared with our own people we have trained.

.”

"Hey..." Ning Zimo said with a smile, "Don't you dislike people who get more money and do less things?"

"Of course, there are some reasons for this." Zhuang Zhanpeng said, "But after all, the people we cultivate ourselves have better combat effectiveness and cohesion."

"Of course." Ning Zimo nodded.

Since 2004, Emperor Penguin has begun to send targeted training talents abroad. The vast majority of the transferred talents have undergone 3-6 months of intensive training in Levchin's [Senior Programmer Incubation Center]

people.

Ning Zimo knows very well how a company's combat effectiveness should be condensed, so the training of expatriate programmers has always been achieved through Levchin's rigorous teaching.

The first batch of 20 people is really good, and they have already started their respective jobs in YouTube, ACS and Feixun.

"Besides, this group of programmers who have worked with foreign engineers will learn more new things from others. After studying in China for five years, they will be the backbone of our various projects."

Ning Zimo paused for a moment before naming Zhou Hongdao again, "So, in addition to the audition, the 50 finalists who go to Beijing to participate in the finals must use your charm as much as possible to win them all."

"Master, aren't you making things difficult for me?" Zhou Hongyi smiled bitterly, "When it comes to charm, who among us Emperor Penguins can be more charming than you. After all... in the eyes of young people, you are a young genius, or...

The first person on the Chinese Internet who is famous abroad."

Zhou Hongyi's words caused several people to burst into laughter from the loudspeaker. Although it was a true statement, the group of people present at the meeting always found it funny.

Ning Zimo curled his lips and tapped the headset lightly, and everyone stopped laughing with the slight banging sound.

"Then it's up to you to create science and technology. Then I will go to Xiamen with peace of mind." Ning Zimo said.

"You are going to Xiamen to stand at the China Webmasters Conference, right?" Zhou Hongyi followed up, "The boss may want to pay more attention. The Emperor Penguin's actions in the past two years have attracted the attention of the higher-ups."

"Attention from the top?" Ning Zi thought for a while, "Which of our projects has received attention from the top."

"It's not a project, it's our Maker Competition, Cambrian Park, Quaternary Laboratory and [Security Guard] Project." Zhou Hongyi said with a smile, "Master, the impact of many of our projects is

Very big.”

emmmmmmm, here we are, it has attracted the attention of the upper management. In fact, I am not used to it. But when a company has developed to a certain level, especially a company like Emperor Penguin that is becoming increasingly influential, it is inevitable to receive attention.

However, he is an upright businessman.

"If you pay attention, just pay attention. Anyway, let's just do our own thing well. After all, you still need to be strong when you are forging iron."

***+***

When Yang Jian drove the car to the Cambrian Park, the originally barren thatched grassland had now turned into an intensive construction site. The park's established gate direction had already taken shape. Two people at the gate saw Yang Jian's car approaching.

One of them glanced at the license plate and waved to Yang Jian.

After parking the car next to the two people's cars, Yang Jian walked out and walked straight to the man waving to him. A few meters away, Yang Jian's Maitreya Buddha-like smile appeared again.

Seeing this, the man smiled and said, "It seems that you have developed very well in the past three years since you went south."

Holding the man's hand, Yang Jian also smiled, "How can I compare to senior brother."

When the two of them saw each other's eyes, they immediately looked at each other and smiled. Then they let go of their hands and walked towards the Cambrian Industrial Park together.

As they walked, the man said, "I originally thought that you emperor penguins had no foundation, but in the past year or so, you have done so much."

"Oh? What does senior brother know?" Yang Jian smiled.

The man turned around and took a look, and said happily, "The Cambrian Industrial Park in front of you, the Panda Animation Park in Luohu that was started at the same time, the maker competition you recently held, and the Shatoujiao you temporarily settled outside the customs.

The Quaternary Laboratory, and the Security Guard program submitted by Yahoo China."

"Senior brother, this information channel is quite extensive." Yang Jianle said.

The man was still smiling, "Can I do this job if I don't have a wide range of information channels?"

After a pause, he frowned and asked Yang Jian, "Your Emperor Penguin, Mr. Ning, may be planning something a bit big. I noticed that he also has some industries abroad."

Yang Jian glanced at him and explained, "Of course, he founded Skype when he was 17 years old and aimed to develop abroad. When Luban Technology developed Skype and Luban ERP, he was promoted to Paypal at the age of 18.

After the company coo. came out of Paypal, he and his colleagues founded several projects one after another, among which the MySapce project was sold for US$3.2 billion some time ago.”

Yang Jian raised his eyelids and glanced at the people next to him and said, "He really made money abroad and came back to China to establish a company. Just like this, there are still people coming to look for trouble."

The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not here to cause trouble. Besides, didn't you Mr. Ning solve that little trouble yourself? Why are you still worrying about that little thing?

.”

"He is a person who likes to keep a low profile. If that incident hadn't happened that year, how would he have revealed to the outside world that he founded Skype?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Ning, you are not a senior student, how can you behave like someone who has been there before?"

"He was born as a young man from an ordinary family. He has never been exposed to politics, and he only wants to run a business in peace." Yang Jian paused, "The preparations for the Panda Pictures Industrial Park would not have been possible if it were not for Shenzhen.

The leaders at the border discussed it in detail when they came to inspect our Emperor Penguin, and we Emperor Penguin implemented it alone." Yang Jian shrugged.

The man's attention was attracted by Yang Jian's movements. He looked back and thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "We know some information about Mr. Ning before he suddenly became famous last year. His family is just a member of Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province."

Coming from an ordinary family with two working people, he really has no foundation in terms of political consciousness.

However, we can also see that Mr. Ning is a man with great ambitions, whether it is his entrepreneurship abroad, whether it is investing in Alibaba, holding such a maker competition, or participating in the webmaster conference. He has done

Everything seems to have long-term significance.”

"If you ask me, among people of the same age, our Wolf King is unparalleled."

"Hey, if you, Lao Yang, can say that, it seems like you are really impressed by your boss."

Yang Jian rolled his eyes. This was an action that should not appear on the face of a person of his age and experience. The man who saw it suddenly became happy.

After a pause, the man looked at the park that Cambrian was building, and said quietly, "I don't know what kind of move your boss is making by asking your second boss to transfer to the United States and register Spark Company.

"

Yang Jian was heartbroken, but he forced himself to calm down and calmly turned around and asked, "Didn't our former second-in-command emigrate with his parents?"

The man smiled, said nothing more, and continued to lead the way towards the Cambrian Industrial Park.

The Cambrian Park was busy with traffic and dust was rising everywhere, but the three of them didn't care as they shuttled through the huge construction site.

As Yang Jian walked, he glanced sideways at the people around him and found that this senior brother's eyes were shining.

"Times are changing after all. Those of us who are getting older cannot see through many things." The man stood there and said calmly.

After a pause, he suddenly turned to look at Yang Jian, "Xiamen's webmaster meeting will be attended by senior city officials. The mayor will also be present at the award ceremony for the finals of the Maker Competition."

Looking at Yang Jian with wide eyes, the man looked at him and smiled and said, "You, I'd better give you some political lessons in advance from Mr. Ning when you get back."
