Today, a total of 56 employees of Bili Bili gathered in the conference room of the new office building.
After a month of rapid renovation, Jia Yapeng gave a speech to all the employees of Bili Bili in a room filled with formaldehyde smell.
The content of the speech was quite simple. The first part was to encourage the employees to work hard and give them some chicken soup for the soul. These things are useless in the year 2020, and the employees are already immune to them.
But to the white flowers of the 90s, the effects of chicken soup for the soul are excellent.
Moreover, Jiang Yapeng is not just giving them chicken soup for the soul. He is also giving them real things. Jia Yapeng announced on the spot that all the programmers in the company will have a base salary of 300 yuan.
This news shocked the hell out of me!
Programmers in this era are not as high-paying as those in the future. The oldest programmers have a hard time. Many programmers become programmers because of their passion. Their salaries are not as good as other jobs.
Take Fangzheng Technology as an example. A programmer's base salary is only 80 yuan. It is much lower than the salary of many ordinary workers.
But society treats this as a matter of course because workers have to work. They have to sell their strength in the production line. Programmers just sit in front of the computer every day and type some words. Why should they have a high salary? It is normal for them to have a lower salary than ordinary workers!
These people do not know that the leaders also sit in front of the computer every day. Their salaries are also higher than ordinary workers.
[PS: This is what the author heard. He is not sure about the actual situation. If you know, please correct me. I will correct this paragraph.]
But to Jia Yapeng, these coders were the most precious treasures.
Because the computer penetration rate in this era is very low, there are very few programmers in the country. There are less than 10,000 of them. Every one of them is a rare treasure.
So Jia Yapeng tried his best to win over these programmers. They are Jia Yapeng's greatest wealth this time. Jia Yapeng does not feel the pinch when he gives them a base salary of 300 yuan. As long as he can keep them, it is fine!
When the programmers heard that Jia Yapeng is giving them a base salary of 300 yuan, they were all excited. They looked at Jia Yapeng with enthusiasm. This is the benefit of money. Nothing wrong can be done with more money.
At the same time, Jia Yapeng announced that he will set up a Daqian assessment system. In addition to clocking in daily, every programmer's workload will be assessed.
If the results are good, they can continue to increase their salary. But if they do not pass the assessment, their salary will be reduced.
In any case, in the face of these evil tricks that Jia Yapeng had dug up from the future, these coders were completely under his control. In this lifetime, they would be writing for Jia Yapeng.
Of course, Jia Yapeng is not a devil. He will not be like some companies, where the programmers are kicked out when they are 35 years old. Jia Yapeng will still arrange suitable jobs for these programmers. As long as they do not slack off and do not make mistakes, Jia Yapeng is very kind.
After encouraging the programmers, Jia Yapeng asked Wang Xuan, Zhong Yu, and Zhao Yuanfang to stay.
"As for the three of you, I have thought about it and decided to set your base salary at 2000 yuan a month!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile. The three of them were overjoyed.
This 2000 yuan is also far more than what they earned at Fangzheng Technology. In 1992, they are definitely high-income people.
"At the same time, I will also give you the right to Bili Bili's dividends!" Jia Yapeng continued, "Each of you will get 1% of Bili Bili's profits. Anyway, I will hand over the daily operations of this company to the three of you. As for how much bonus you will get, it will depend on your ability! "
"Of course, this right is only limited when you are working for Bili Bili. Once you change jobs or leave, this right will be canceled. At the same time, if you make any mistakes, this right will be canceled, and you will be sent to the warehouse to retire! " Jia Yapeng said this in a calm tone, but Wang Xuan and the rest felt a chill down their spines.
They believe that Jia Yapeng will definitely do what he says.
"Next, I will give you Bili Bili's first mission, and also your first product!" Jia Yapeng had just finished speaking when Zhu Qiushui, who was behind him, handed two things to Jia Yapeng. Jia Yapeng put the two things on the table and asked with a smile, "Do you recognize these two things?"
"Of course, aren't they just a keyboard and an F&C game console?" Zhao Yuanfang, who was outspoken, was the first to speak. As a person who worked in the computer industry, no one would not recognize these two things.
However, the three of them were also curious. Why did Jia Yapeng take these two things out?
"This is our first product, and your task is to combine these two products!" Jia Yapeng put the F&C game console on the top of the keyboard and leaned them close together. Then he said with a smile, "In short, I want a game keyboard with the same function as the F&C game console!"
"Gasp …" Wang Xuan and the rest took a deep breath at the same time, and then looked at each other.
"Answer me, can you do it?" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile on his face, but Wang Xuan had a feeling that if he answered that he could not do it, Jia Yapeng would not hesitate to kick him out of his position as the general manager of Bili Bili.
"Yes, I can do it!" Wang Xuan answered at once. He was not lying.
The keyboard itself was not difficult. If the F&C game console was released 10 years ago, it might be a very high-tech product. However, 10 years later, all kinds of F&C technology had basically been broken down by enthusiasts. As long as they had enough materials, they could easily put together an F&C game console.
As for combining the two, it was just a new shell, which was not difficult at all.
"Very good. What if I need to bypass most of the F&C game console's patents and ask you to design a miniature simulator with almost the same functions? Can you do it?" Jia Yapeng asked again, which made Wang Xuan and the rest feel a little embarrassed.
To be honest, it was a little difficult because Wang Xuan and the rest were actually software people, but the Hongbai Machine was the strong point of hardware. It was really difficult for them to design a product that could be patented by the Hongbai Machine!
"Actually, it can be done!" Zhong Yu bit his lips and said, "Many of the patents of the Hongbai Machine console itself are not owned by Nintendo. Most of the hardware is purchased from other companies' patents, or directly from other companies' products. There are no patent restrictions for these parts! These hardware were very expensive 10 years ago, but they are quite cheap now. We can buy them at a very low price, without any patent disputes. "
"The real patents of Nintendo are the decoding patents of the game parts and the layout of various hardware. There are ways to bypass these. We only need to design a new decoding method, and then we can bypass most of the patents of the Hongbai Machine. The industry will not think that this is a counterfeit F&C game console."
"To put it bluntly, as long as our game console can't run F&C cartridges, no one will think that we are counterfeiting F&C game console."
"But in this way, countless games specially designed for the Hongbai Machine can't be used. If we bypass the patent restrictions of the Hongbai Machine, we will definitely not be able to use these games!"
[PS: Because the author doesn't know anything about game consoles at all, he wrote it simply. If there is anything wrong with this paragraph, you are welcome to point it out and give your suggestions. The author will correct it immediately.]
"No problem. If these games can't be used, then we can make them ourselves. Otherwise, why do I hire so many programmers?" Jia Yapeng finally smiled, "All the patents in the world are used to protect the cultural property of the game, but they don't protect the game play."
"So, everyone, please work hard. Select 50 of those popular games in the Hongbai Machine, such as Super Mario, Contra, Shujiquan, and so on, and do a comprehensive reprogramming!"
"Only keep their game play, but redesign the level design, art style, character modeling, story background, and so on, and then put them on our machine!" Jia Yapeng said quickly.
"Understood!" Wang Xuan and the others nodded thoughtfully. Then, they said, "But boss, we won't have enough manpower because we still need to recruit some talents in the hardware industry. In addition, we also need a specialized assembly factory. All of these require a lot of money!"
"Money is not a problem. I will transfer 10 million yuan to the company's account. You just need to design these things for me as soon as possible!" Jia Yapeng said lightly, and everyone was speechless. Indeed, there was nothing that couldn't be done in Hua Xia with 10 million yuan.
