Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 9 Architect

With his own computer, Meng Qian greeted Ali, but didn’t go to the company for the next three days, so he settled the system design at home.

Three days later, when Meng Qian brought his system design plan to Li Qi, Li Qi fell into a long silence. Just as Meng Qian guessed, Li Qi actually had his own ideas about the CRM system, but when he When he got Meng Qian’s system design, he felt the most intuitive feature, simplicity.

As Li Qi with a technical background, he admired the simplicity of this design. Programming itself is a cumbersome thing. Especially in this era, Li Qi is too aware of the direction that many programmers are pursuing to make the program concise.

Programming is not about writing novels. It is not about writing a few million lines of code. If it is possible to replace hundreds of thousands of lines of code with hundreds of lines of code, no programmer will refuse this convenience. Meng Qian’s design is like a clear spring seen in a quagmire, which makes people feel comfortable.

“Mr. Meng, did you learn this design idea from it?” Although it felt a little inappropriate, Li Qi couldn’t help but ask.

“Learn more, read more and summarize.” Meng Qian casually dealt with it. He has a general idea of ​​his design level. It is indeed a little bit ahead in China, but it won’t be enough to get the technology leader in the West. How dazzling.

Compared with those ten-year-old geniuses who take doctoral examinations at the age of twelve and engage in nuclear reaction at the age of twelve, their extraordinary performance is nothing, as long as they can control their behavior within the scope of genius can explain, there is no big problem.

And only the rebirth of the self is actually difficult to break through the category of genius.

“Oh by the way, President Li, you don’t want to call me Mr. Meng anymore. I always feel weird. Just call me Xiao Meng.”

Meng Qian mentioned this point suddenly and interrupted Li Qi’s thoughts. When he returned to his previous emotions, he suddenly didn’t know what to ask.

In fact, out of curiosity, Li Qi couldn’t help but investigate Meng Qian a little bit. Meng Qian’s past is naturally very plain, but fortunately, he is also considered a master of study. Big, which makes Li Qi somewhat more acceptable to his genius.

After all, the current Huaxia Education…it is normal for talents to be suppressed before college…

Suddenly feel that it is not good to ask more, Li Qi put his thoughts on his heart, “Let’s go, let’s talk to colleagues in the technical department.”

The system was designed by Meng Qian, and the explanation was naturally given by him. The lecture is a necessary quality for a mature architect. To explain such a relatively simple CRM system architecture is not very stressful for Meng Qian.

After listening to Meng Qian’s speech, the programmers of the technical department also gave high praise and doubts about his system design ability.

Mature architects are not only a question of ability, but also a question of experience. Why does Meng Qian give people a sense of experience?

Several people who are acquainted with Li Qi glanced at Li Qi secretly, and the latter motioned them not to ask more with their eyes.

Regarding the secrets of Meng Qian, Li Qi is naturally also very interested, but there are some things that can’t be too impatient, I’m afraid it will cause some bad consequences.

After understanding Meng Qian’s design philosophy, he went directly to the task of arranging work. Everyone began to code according to their respective modules, and the development of Ali’s CRM system began.

Except for going back to school to deal with an exam in the next few days, Meng Qian stayed on Ali’s side the other time.

Speaking of exams, in this life, Meng Qian might not be able to get a scholarship like in his previous life. He might have to drop out of school.

But this is all something to say.

In the past few days of soaking in Ali, Meng Qian has been with the programmers to check the progress of the entire project.

And his behavior has given programmers a new understanding of Meng Qian. About this new understanding, I have to mention the architects with Huaxia characteristics.

As far as the general environment of later generations is concerned, most domestic architects have an obvious feature, that is, they are out of touch with programmers. Architects only undertake a design-level work, and throw it away after the design is completed. Let the programmers below do it. Just stare at the timeline and check the progress regularly.

However, this kind of disengaged architect has always been controversial, because for the architect, if you just design something, you don’t care about it later, and the final thing you make must be problematic, and in programming Various troubles will continue to arise during the process, and these troubles cannot be dealt with in a timely manner.

Architects always follow the progress of the project only after the design is completed. It does not necessarily mean that they have to participate in the programming work themselves, but at least they should be aware of the situation of the programming work and communicate design concepts and problem solving with programmers at any time. Communicate and modify the unrealizable technologies in a timely manner with the demand side, so that the things developed will be better.

But why do most architects seem reluctant to do this? There are two main reasons. The first is that architects and programmers are divided into two positions from the learning side. The focus and direction of learning are completely different. There were no architects in the early days in China, and a large number of architects appeared in the back. Job gaps.

Moreover, many of this gap does not come from powerful scientific research companies such as BAT. It may be a startup company with a total investment of less than 500,000 and a team of only five people. How many of the architects recruited by these companies come from, you can boldly imagine a bit.

0 foundation, three months, work package…

In fact, people like Meng Qian who have started from a programmer and worked step by step to an architect for more than ten years, the proportion is not high.

Of course, it is undeniable that many small companies also want architects like Meng Qian, but they can’t hire them. They can only try their luck among those architects.

Another very important reason lies in the market environment. For most small and medium-sized enterprises, it is difficult for them to have decent large projects, so they naturally pay architects on a project-by-project basis, which means you take one You get a commission for a project, and you get ten commissions for ten projects if you have the ability.

For the architects of these enterprises, the purpose of my part-time job is to make money, and the things that I make at the end can be used up. Customers are dissatisfied and let sales communicate. The architects must devote more energy to receiving projects. I don’t have the time to focus on the project, and I don’t pay much for it.

Then, after the big environment slowly became like this, customers also had to adapt. It seemed that no matter what company they were looking for, and companies like BAT couldn’t afford to climb high, so be it. As long as the final product can be used, follow If the design at the beginning is different, it is a little different.

If people who are not in contact with this industry feel that this phenomenon is not intuitive, it will be easy to understand by changing an example. Whose house is decorated with the same design drawing that the designer gave you at the beginning?

can be half of the same, thank goodness…

The designer just made the design drawings to make you look at the signing order. When the decoration master started to start work, there were a lot of problems. He called you to make changes every three days, and waited until the final house inspection. Hey, this Nima and Is the design drawing I looked at the same thing?

Then, all the money is paid, the decoration is finished, and I can live there, and there is a little bit of “induction” from the sales staff. What should I do? What else can I do, just like this…

Because for the design staff, they are all commissioned by the single. In the era when everyone is looking for money, how to make money is how to do it.

Looking back on these two reasons, they are actually a vicious circle that complements each other.

However, even a large number of industry experts, including Alipay architect Feng Dahui, have pointed out this problem in public.

In the era of helpless market economy, it is difficult to change much.

However, regarding this issue, there is no need to blindly worship the ingenuity of foreign countries. Meng Qian used to think that foreign architects are very ingenious and that to do a project is to do a good project. Later, he found out when he traveled to the West from time to time. People can’t help it, because they have their market environment.

Even if a western architect wants to take a few more orders, no one will work for him because no one is willing to work overtime. In some western countries, it is difficult for you to find outsourcing companies, unlike China, which is in all walks of life. Outsourcing companies are full of cheap labor. As long as you have a list, you are not afraid that no one will work.

Many of the so-called ingenuity of doing one thing in the West is actually just because you don’t know what to do, and the market competition is not as big as China.

Of course, there are people with genuine ingenuity, but there is no shortage of such people in China, but they are more in some areas that people don’t pay attention to.

Therefore, Meng Qian has always claimed to be an architect with better luck, because he does not need to pick up projects constantly, he only needs to be responsible for keeping an eye on one or two of the most core projects. Of course, this is also a two-way choice. Things, if his own company is not like this, Meng Qian would not go there at all.

For Meng Qian, his interest in and attention to the project itself is even higher.

With this background, Meng Qian has demonstrated his excellent control ability, detailed control ability, project decomposition ability, personnel planning ability, etc. in the process of catching up with the project schedule with the programmers of Ali these days.

This makes the people who originally only saw Meng Qian only see Meng Qian’s appreciation and respect for Meng Qian more. From the beginning, in everyone’s opinion, at Meng Qian’s age, he was able to come up with such an excellent design because He has this talent.

This is like some people who are very talented in writing books. They don’t need to read too many books. They just observe life and feel it and write about them to become a great writer. This is a gift and one cannot be envious.

However, Meng Qian’s solid foundation in programming and his strong ability to control projects make everyone think that he is not just a genius. He seems to be really experienced, which means that he must have invested a lot in this field. Energy, considering his age, he must have worked very hard in everyone’s opinion.

Regardless of the era, everyone admires genius and respects hard work. The genius who works hard is the most admirable and the most impressive.

Everyone’s name for Meng Qian has changed from Xiao Meng to the current Xiao Meng brother.

On the ninth day after the project started, Meng Qian needed to go back to school for two days to take the exam. On this morning, Li Qi hurriedly ran into Ma Yuan’s office, “Lao Ma, Ying Haiwei wants to see Meng Qian?”

“Well, I heard it was.” Ma Yan looked calmer.

Li Qi seemed a little dissatisfied, “Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”

“I haven’t been on a business trip for two days, right? We’ve guessed Meng Qian meeting other people a long time ago. Why are you reacting so strongly?”

Li Qi just sat down, waved his hand, and said something you don’t understand, “I tell you, this Meng Qian brings surprises to me every day. I don’t think he is a genius, he is a ghost, no matter what. It’s vision, courage, technology, character, impeccable, you don’t understand technology, you don’t understand, it’s not my exaggeration. If he was born forty years earlier, Bill Gates might have nothing to do.”

“Yeah, how long has it taken to hold this high? Didn’t you tell me to guard him before?” Ma Yan teased.

“The defense is indeed still guarding, but you can’t just watch him run to someone else’s house. This is the baby we discovered first. To be fair, in the previous situation, a consultant fee of 500,000 a year was given. How many companies can do it?”

“You can’t say the same thing, we are actually not so courageous. According to the contract, if the system he made does not meet the basic assessment standards, we will have to recover the one hundred thousand.”

“Hey, Lao Ma, what’s the matter with you today?” Li Qi looked upset, “Are you always obsessed with Meng Qian or me?”

“Don’t wrong me. I admire Meng Qian very much. You think I don’t want such a talent to enter Ali? But think about it for yourself. If Meng Qian is really a technical super genius, what can we give him now? Did he start a research institute? Are you paying this money?”

Ma Yuan’s jokes gradually became serious, “As you said, I don’t know technology. What Meng Qian first attracted me was his insight into the Internet, and even a little bit mysterious, it was his personality charm. I think it’s very Right taste.

But it was your talent that you chanted to me every day for the past two days that brought me back to reality and made me realize that he is a technical genius, so what can we bring to him now?

Judging from the company’s short-term development plan, this kind of cooperation is indeed a good choice. As for the future, I believe we will have the position of Meng Qian to display his talents. ”

After listening to Ma Yuan’s words, Li Qi understands it in his heart, because he has the same mental journey as Ma Yuan. When he first met Meng Qian, he felt that this was a talent with technology and a little operational ability, maybe he was still a genius. Although Ali is not a technology company, at least network security, website optimization, internal systems, etc. need someone to do it. Naturally, the idea of ​​recruiting Meng Qian came up.

Even Ma Yuan has seen if he can dig out the idea of ​​Meng Qian’s operational talent. UU read www.uukanshu.com, but after Meng Qianshi started to show his strength during this period of time, Ma Yuan and Li Qi both realized that Meng Qian’s abilities had been exceeding their expectations.

The reason why Ma Yuan mentioned that according to the contract, Meng Qian had to recover 100,000 if the system did not do well, he was also reminding Li Qi that neither of them was as optimistic about Meng Qian as they are now.

But now that he sees Meng Qian’s more strength, Ma Yuan believes that recruiting Meng Qian is a waste of genius. This is Ma Yuan’s mind. Li Qi recognizes and respects it in his heart, but Li Qi is very Not reconciled, “But in the future, Meng Qian may already belong to someone else.”

“So I thought of a best solution.”

“What countermeasures?” Li Qi’s attention suddenly became concentrated.

“Let’s go with the flow.”

“Your uncle!” Li Qi whitened like Ma Wan, “Old Ma, or let’s set up a technical department. I will bring Meng Qian in and find a team?”

Ma Yuan was eating with his tea pouring hand, “Li Qi, why did I come to you? You will not forget? You really regard yourself as a technician? Don’t turn my expectation of you into a bubble, Focus on me.”

“Hey.” Li Qi sighed and leaned back in the chair, “I know I know, I just feel it’s a pity…”

Ma Yuan handed a cup of tea to Li Qi, “Twisted melons are not sweet. Besides, there is more than just an employment relationship between people.”

Li Qi looked at Ma Yuan, and suddenly patted his thigh, “Yes!”

Ma Won, “???”

Looking at Li Qi’s slightly upward expression, Ma Yuan felt that this guy seemed to say something to himself…what’s the misunderstanding…
