Revisiting Future Path

228 Looking to the Future

Hearing that Ji Susu's money path turned out to be a future correction, Wei Dongsheng couldn't help laughing: "A purely technical post, I really can't make money."

Although Dongqinqin was aware of her straightforward desire to make money, her disappointment was at a glance.

Wei Dongsheng did not lie in order to appease Dongqinqin. His credibility as the chairman of the board of directors of Chunqiu Search is far more precious than Dongqinqin's mood.

Technical positions are indeed not profitable.

At the moment, it is very easy for purely technical jobs to reach the middle class, and it is very difficult to break through the barrier of the middle class and climb up. Even senior technical experts at the top of the food chain often fail to catch up with a small entrepreneur.

However, Wei Dongsheng guessed that Dongqinqin's appetite should not be that big.

Wei Dongsheng gave a general introduction to the ecology of technical positions: "The internal levels of Spring and Autumn Search are divided into 9 levels. The peak of pure technical positions generally ends at the 6th and 7th levels, which are the so-called P6 and P7. The latest salary standard in 2009, the P6 The basic annual salary is about 540,000 yuan, and the basic annual salary for P7 is about 2.16 million yuan. Normally, the subsidy benefits are about twice the basic annual salary, and particularly outstanding people can get three times the basic annual salary. In other words, purely The upper limit of technical positions is about 6.5 million yuan."

In the spring and autumn search, I got the best P7, and only got 6.5 million yuan in annual salary. Considering that the annual salary of 6.5 million yuan is pre-tax income, an expensive personal income tax is also required. If the driving force is to make money, such results are certainly not satisfactory. However, as Wei Dongsheng guessed, Dongqin Qin's appetite has not been so big that the annual salary exceeds 100 million yuan. She heard that the basic annual salary of P6 is 540,000 yuan, and her eyes suddenly light up: "What level can the search research and development department rise to?"

Wei Dongsheng gave a simple answer: "Generally speaking, the department technical director is P8, the major project leader is P7, the major project backbone member is P6, the small project leader is P5, the small project backbone member is P4, P3 is the grassroots, and P2 is For newly hired regular employees, P1 are interns, part-time workers, and temporary workers."

Dongqin Qin seems to understand the internal mechanism of Chunqiu Search.

Dongqin Qin has confidence in herself and feels that she will definitely hope to become a backbone of big projects after working hard for three to five years, and the basic annual salary of P6 of 540,000 yuan has made her very satisfied. In fact, Dongqinqin's self-positioning is to have a comprehensive annual salary of 300,000 yuan within a few years, and the P5 basic annual salary of 210,000 yuan is already worth her stay in the search research and development department of Spring and Autumn Search.

Unlike Dongqinqin, Deng Yu is more curious about the focus of Spring and Autumn Search: "NLP is the core technology of search engines. Why doesn't it belong to the search research and development department?"

Wei Dongsheng explained a little bit: "It is because it is important that it is extracted. Well, within a few days, the Spring and Autumn Translation coordinated by the Natural Language Processing Department will usher in a major version update. Perhaps it will be a shock to the world. Technological revolution."

Deng Yu was surprised: "Huh?"

Ji Susu and Dong Qinqin were also very surprised.

At the beginning of 2008, the Spring and Autumn Translation version was updated, and the voice recognition function was introduced, the Chinese-English mode was switched, and the spoken Mandarin was instantly translated into English; at the beginning of 2009, the Spring and Autumn Translation version was updated, and Sapientia_3 jointly launched the lens translation. Reference translation. These two functions are good, but they are not a technological revolution. This major version update is called a technological revolution by Wei Dongsheng. Isn't it ten times more powerful than speech recognition and lens translation? "

Wei Dongsheng did not give an answer on the spot: "Let's wait a few days."

Dongqinqin and Deng Yu are classmates and friends of Ji Susu, but not Wei Dongsheng. After talking about career development planning, talking about the development prospects of Chunqiu Search, and talking about the talent policy of Chunqiu Search, Wei Dongsheng asked people to send Deng Yu and Dongqin from afar to the Search R&D Department and the Natural Language Processing Department. .

Only Ji Susu and Wei Dongsheng remained in the reception room.

Ji Susu watched Dongqinqin and Deng Yu leave and suggested: "You still have things to do, I'll go to the artificial intelligence department first."

Wei Dongsheng: "Wait a moment."

Ji Susu turned to Wei Dongsheng and waited for Wei Dongsheng to speak.

Wei Dongsheng pondered his words for a while and asked, "Why did you choose the Artificial Intelligence Department?"

Ji Susu thought for a while, a look of memories appeared on her cheeks: "Remember the SARS in 2003?"

Wei Dongsheng nodded: "Remember."

Ji Susu: "Before and after SARS, you stayed in school. That was the longest time you stayed in school. One day in physical education class, you, me, and Wei Manman sat on the lawn of the football field and chatted. Chunqiu search, and there is no Chunqiu Internet...No, there is no "Ten Kingdoms Chunqiu". Everyone does not understand your ideals, your career, or your choices, and they wonder, wonder, and question why you are so long Time to leave school. I still don’t remember whether it was me, Wei Manman or someone else, and suddenly repeated this topic."

Wei Dongsheng thought for a while, shook his head and smiled and said, "I can't remember."

Ji Susu smiled: "I remember it very clearly."

Ji Susu continued to recall: "That day, everyone asked why you took time off for a long time, but you asked us why we studied. I clearly remember Wei Manman's answer, yes, what can we do if we don't study? The social environment of the small county town of Wuping at that time dropped out of school. All of them are “bad kids” with no future, and the future is gloomy; most good kids stay in school and go to university with the crowd. Everyone doesn’t understand what a university is, but because of the parents and teachers’ instruction, they are confused That's a path that must be taken. Because there is no other way to go, everyone can only go to high school and university step by step. That was Wei Manman's cognition at the time and my cognition at the time."

"You gave a very different answer."

"You said, reading has two effects."

"One is the result of the development of the peer associations, diplomas and affiliated job hunting privileges, etc.. For every individual, the ability and achievements of elementary school dropouts have a chance to exceed the PhD graduates of well-known universities. Such examples are not uncommon. But loosely speaking of groups, the average ability and average achievement of dropouts in elementary school are far inferior to those of doctoral graduates from well-known universities. The educational qualification restrictions of recruiting units are not for individuals, but for the entire group. Suffering from elementary school dropouts The overall level of the group, self-study is working hard to improve his ability to the level of doctoral graduates, and he often does not get the treatment that doctoral graduates can get. This is discrimination against the group. Elementary school to middle school, junior college to second From one book to C9, in addition to the improvement of ability, it is also a small improvement of class."

"The second is the pursuit and mastery of knowledge. The reason why the group of doctoral graduates is more reliable than the group of primary school dropouts is because of their knowledge. When it comes to knowledge, it can be simply divided into knowledge of using tools and knowledge of manufacturing tools. Knowledge, etc. Taking a car as an example, the driver’s license examines the ability to use tools; what an automobile manufacturer needs is the ability to make tools. In short, the more knowledge you have, the higher the true value. The ability and achievements of some elementary school dropouts Far more than the doctoral graduates of well-known universities, it is also because he continued to study in the social university, and finally mastered the amount of knowledge far surpassing the doctoral graduates. The nouveau riche is no exception, because asset management and asset appreciation are also a kind of knowledge ; Social sciences, such as dealing with people and communicating between people, are also knowledge."

"Therefore, the diploma degree is the appearance, and the core value is still the amount of knowledge or the amount of professional knowledge."

Wei Dongsheng said: "I have forgotten all of this."

Ji Susu smiled: "At that time, Wei Manman and I didn't understand or understand. After the gym class, I complained about you for being long-winded."

Wei Dongsheng also smiled.

Ji Susu continued: "Although I didn't understand it, I remembered it in my heart."

"Along the way from 2003 to 2009, I slowly understood your theory of knowledge: knowledge-making tools, tools bring about increased production efficiency. Why the Internet is full of prospects is because it narrows the distance between people In China, I can communicate with netizens in Africa and America without barriers at a very low cost; why the Internet is unpredictable? Portals are strong, online games are strong, e-commerce is strong, and mobile Internet is strong. This is because it is not yet mature. Just like the steam engine that set off the industrial revolution, people initially thought that it could only be used for coal mining. Later, they realized that all walks of life need it directly or indirectly."

"On a longer time scale, the Internet revolution is far from over. Portals are not the end of the Internet, e-commerce is not the end of the Internet, instant messaging is not the end of the Internet, and search engines are not the end of the Internet. The fact is that although the Spring and Autumn Period Search and Google search are both booming, but their country is not stable. In twenty or thirty years, search engines may become historical terms."

When Wei Dongsheng heard this, he became interested: "What do you think will replace search engines?"

Ji Susu shook his head: "I don't know, but I know it will never prosper forever."

Wei Dongsheng understands.

Ji Susu's mentality is not uncommon. In fact, this is the anxiety of all Internet companies in the future: I don't know who will become the new king, but I know very well that today's king will eventually end.

Wei Dongsheng asked Ji Susu's opinion: "How do you think Spring and Autumn Search should face the crisis?"

Ji Susu did not decline to say that he didn't know this time, but instead gave her decisive answer: "There are two ways."

Wei Dongsheng: "Talk about it."

Ji Susu: "The first method is to cast the Internet and use the first-mover advantage and capital advantage of Chunqiu Search to participate in emerging industries in a timely manner like angel investment. Just like Yahoo, although its market value is shrinking and its stock price is sluggish, it had 1 billion four years ago. The strategic benefits of U.S. dollar shares in Alibaba are very worth looking forward to. Of course, capital does not necessarily buy the future. Since 2009, the relationship between Yahoo and Alibaba has gradually become tense. A few days ago, Alibaba Group announced a new restructuring plan for the China Yahoo business. , It must be another serious setback for Yahoo to control Alibaba. If Spring and Autumn Search has repeatedly failed like Yahoo, the previous strategic investment will probably be as dominant as Alibaba, and its effect will be very limited."

Wei Dongsheng asked, "What about the second method?"
