0196. Building on the lead in Mountain View
{Time: February 18, 2003}
{Location: Mountain View, California}
For Ning Zimo, California is already the third most familiar city after his hometown and the Special Administrative Region.
In the past, after exiting the San Francisco Airport and driving southeast along Highway 101, you would reach the more familiar city of San Jose.
But this time, before reaching the usual turning point, the car had already turned onto US Route 85.
It's also heading south, but San Jose is on the left and Mountain View is on the right.
This time, we are finally going to the legendary Mountain View, the Bay Area city where today’s giant Ju Hard and future giant Feng Yu have settled.
Chen Shijun's convertible BMW Z8 parked steadily at the intersection of Fengyu Company. He followed Ningzi and stared silently for a long time before he asked curiously, "How about it, do you want to go down and have a look? You seem to have always respected this company."
?”
Respect?
As a programmer, Fengyu, a company known as "Don't do evil", was indeed Ning Zimo's most respected company for a certain period of time in his previous life. At that time, in addition to Beibao, Fengyu could also be regarded as a programmer's company.
Holy land. But after Fengyu developed to a certain extent, its taste changed.
But that's a game at the national level, and it's not entirely Feng Yu's fault.
But in this life and in the future, I am afraid no one will respect Feng Yu so much.
It’s not that Fengyu is not great, but the [bing ecosystem] is bound to have an impact on Fengyu’s parent company, the “umbrella company” in the future. Even if Fengyu truly proceeds according to its own plan, Fengyu, the greatest company in its previous life, will definitely have an impact.
The company will be the first American company to fail.
Taking another look at the Fengyu logo that had not changed the font at that time, Ning Zimo shook his head, "I won't go, I just came to pay my respects to it."
When Chen Shijun saw Ning Zimo turning his head and smiling with his white teeth exposed, he said word by word, "Just remember him. We will be able to defeat him completely in 5 years."
"Ha, as you get older, your ambitions become bigger and bigger!" Chen Shijun smiled and turned to look at the road ahead.
As soon as he finished speaking, the BMW Z8's rapid roaring power came with huge power, and the two of them flew away.
Only Feng Yu remained motionless, being thrown further and further away by the car under the setting sun.
…
Although he single-handedly contributed to Lingying, Ning Zimo felt that Lingying's headquarters settled in Mountain View City. This was because fate was irreversible at some point.
So looking at the first-generation office of Lingying, which had hardly changed its position, Ning Zimo was filled with emotions.
"I have to say that Nuwa Software has helped us accelerate the progress of the entire project to the greatest extent, allowing us to implement your wonderful ideas in the first version. It can be said that even if there are competitors, we are still ahead of others
Quite a few.”
Following the sound, Hoffman, Levchin and Sachs were walking out of the door.
The three of them walked up quickly and hugged each other. When they looked at each other, Ning Zimo couldn't help but patted Hoffman's belly and said with a smile, "Old man, I'm afraid you have to eat less donuts.
"
"Hey, I can do without your handsome face." Hoffman glanced at Ning Zimo's face with excitement.
Pointing to Ning Zimo's ponytail tied behind his head, Hoffman smiled at Levchin beside him and said, "Look, when the hair was hanging down, it gave people a youthful feeling. Now it's better, the angular frame
When it's revealed, I'm afraid Beibao's most handsome guy will no longer be controversial."
Phew~~~
Commenting on his appearance to a fat man,
This feeling is quite strange.
Ning Zimo shrugged and curled his lips.
Hoffman suddenly became even happier, "You said that if our winning team of engineers knew that the planning of our project was done by a handsome guy from the East, would they still be able to close their mouths?"
"I think~~~can't." Levchin nodded seriously.
A moment of silence,
Then there was laughter again!
Ning Zimo was teased by everyone until he had nothing to say.
Hoffman's joke is a joke, but it can be regarded as a reminder to Ning Zimo. In the past, he held many projects in his hands and planned them himself. But if this pattern continues in the future, even a strong man will not be able to control it.
.
Therefore, how to allocate one's time more rationally, so that one can take advantage of the golden finger without being weighed down by the lengthy product line that one has started, has become an important issue that has gradually been searched for in the past two years.
"Today the engineering team is working on the first upgrade module, and this module will be online tomorrow." Hoffman stopped laughing and introduced to Ning Zimo.
"Let's go then. I should stay with everyone at this time."
"Hey guys, let me tell you." Hoffman put his arms around Chen Shijun and Ning Zimo's shoulders and laughed, "Our Beibao Gang has been famous for being workaholics in the past!"
…
The Lingying office located in Mountain View is not very big, except for two separate offices and a tea room. The rest of the area is filled with desks, and the free aisles are not very wide, but they are just enough.
When several people came in, everyone present was still busy with their own things.
As soon as Hoffman entered the door, he let the two of them go, walked to the wall and high-fived everyone's attention:
"Hey guys~~~~Come here~~~~Today~~I want to introduce you to an important person!"
The crowd's attention was immediately attracted by Hoffman, who took advantage of the situation and pulled Ning Zimo to his side.
"Let me solemnly introduce to you that this person is our youngest COO at Beibao, the person who was named and praised by Meg Whitman~~~~"
The last one to greet the elder, who was pulled by Hoffman, whetted everyone's appetite.
"Let us shout his name, the person who personally planned and won the first version of the product - Ning!"
w(Д)w

The Lingying office suddenly became a sensation!
Everyone rushed to Ning Zimo's side excitedly, and Hoffman and others saw the opportunity and retreated far away.
Then Ning Zimo watched helplessly as the crowd came over and squeezed him in the middle.
praise,
Embrace,
shake hands.
Who says Westerners can’t do rainbow farts?
Stand up and I promise not to beat him to death!
Ning Zimo witnessed the flattery of Westerners in the turbulent times. If he hadn't been self-aware, he would have drifted far away from the earth!
After being praised by everyone for almost several minutes, Ning Zimo finally separated from the crowd with the help of Hoffman and others.
Although they are just a group of simple engineers, just this has made Ning Zimo feel the fear of the rice circle.
"I still prefer the way we flower growers greet each other, it's much more restrained." Ning Zimo had the illusion of surviving a disaster.
"Hahahahaha, this means they really admire you. A capable person will be respected wherever he goes, right?" Chen Shijun laughed.
After Chen Shijun finished laughing, Hoffman and others led Ning Zimo into his office under the attention of everyone.
"Same old?"
"Same old thing."
After a while, Hoffman brought four cups of coffee.
The old way means that Ning Zimo's cup is still the strongest.
Hoffman picked up the coffee, stirred it with sugar cubes and cinnamon powder, and said, "In one month after it went online, we gained 500,000 users according to your promotion strategy."
"300,000 is a lot. After all, it's just a professional social network. Its audience is different from skrpe."
Hoffman put down the tea spoon and nodded. After putting the mixed coffee aside, he motioned for Ning Zimo to follow him to the computer.
"I know you have been very busy recently, so why don't you take this opportunity to take a good look at your works?"
Hoffman stood up as he spoke, and Ning Zimo immediately sat on it.
Indeed, as Hoffman said, I have never watched Lingying, which was only launched on February 1st.
Concentrating on one thing for a period of time is already the best way to find multiple projects and exercise them. In addition, the first generation Lingying does not have much memory, Nuwa only implemented functions, in addition to the planning of user interaction experience
.He really doesn’t know anything about other things.
But even so, my understanding of the user experience is beyond everyone else in this era.
Therefore, in addition to the interface, the current version of Lingying is completely implemented according to its own planning.
Ning Zimo clicked around on the page and tried to register an account of his own.
Update the information and click on the secondary pages of each column to take a look.
In 10 minutes, Ning Zimo had completed the entire user experience process.
"Not bad. The current version of Lingying is very complete, and the user experience is also very good. The current content filling is enough for us to promote it for a period of time."
"That's natural. We thought about brainstorming some new content. But we found that your prototype was already perfect."
"There is no such thing as perfection. The first module will be updated soon." Ning Zimo said with a confident smile, "In the field of professional social networking, our leader is definitely much ahead of others in this era."
"That's right, buddy," Hoffman patted Ning Zimo on the shoulder and laughed, "With your coming this time, we have to do something big."
Chapter completed!
