These days, when fresh graduates are looking for jobs, their first choice is often foreign companies.

This is especially true in the IT industry.

When fresh graduates from Tsinghua University and Peking University are looking for jobs, very few go to BAT. Even giant companies like Alibaba are looked down upon by students from Tsingbei when they are recruiting on campus. So much so that when Alibaba recruits people, they prefer

Students from second-tier key universities, such as Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing University of Science and Technology, Beihua University, and Beijing Normal University.

Cheng Wei, who founded Didi in his previous life, accidentally joined Ziweixing in this life, graduated from Beihua University.

For fresh graduates, there are probably three benefits to working for foreign companies like Microsoft, Google, IBM, Oracle, and Amazon.

First, the salary is high and the benefits are good.

This is not said.

The main reason is that labor costs in the United States are too high. China's salary standards are 300% lower than those in the United States. I was surprised to find that it is still far ahead of domestic companies.

The same employee, who could receive a salary of 20,000 yuan in China, is transferred to work in Silicon Valley, and his salary immediately becomes 10,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to a fourfold increase.

Second, you have skills and can learn.

Domestic Internet companies lack technical content, and college students in northern Qing Dynasty are all ambitious and want to become a master. This thing cannot rely on speculation, it must rely on real strength.

For young people who have just entered society, what is the most profitable investment? Buying a house? Stock trading?

The answer is to invest in yourself.

Most college students in Qingbei have a clear understanding that when it comes to life choices, they must either go abroad for further study, study for a Ph.D., or choose a job with huge room for improvement, participate in higher-end projects, and learn higher-end technologies.

You can also learn technology in domestic research institutes, and there is room for improvement. However, the salary is too low, and the human relations are too complicated. It is better to go to a foreign company like Microsoft or Google, where the salary is high, the human relations are simple, and you don’t need to flatter anyone in the workplace.

The relationship is purer.

Third, the working environment is good and no overtime is required.

For example, at Microsoft Research, I go to work at 9:30 every day. I go there to have a cup of coffee and breakfast. I start working after 10:30. At 11:30, I start having lunch, then take a lunch break and do some entertainment activities. 1:00 I often come back from outside, lie down on the table and sleep for an hour or two. I wake up at 3 o'clock and continue working. At 5:30 p.m., I go home from get off work.

Out of an eight-hour working day, serious working hours are only four hours.

Who doesn’t yearn for such a job?

Like many domestic companies, I work overtime until late at night like an old scalper, which makes me feel tired.

However, as time goes by...it becomes different.

Working only 4 hours a day is such a waste of time!

Not fulfilling!

Ordinary people would think that such a job is wonderful, relaxed and leisurely, and can earn a high salary. It is better than being a civil servant. But for the most elite group, this job is too uninspiring!

There is no way to show your personal life value and no sense of accomplishment!

Job hoppers appear.

In March this year, a project team at Microsoft Research that was researching big data was poached by Baidu, and more than 20 people resigned at once.

Wages have not increased.

We also have to work overtime day and night. Many people have to stay up all night and stay up for days and nights. This is the most serious overtime work at Baidu, and it can be called a cruel project team.

Even so, everyone went resolutely.

Because Baidu's "pyramid" plan is so attractive, once this project is completed, it will shock the world. The big reason why Google search is so powerful is that Google's big data processing technology is unmatched in the world and can handle tens of billions of searches.

Quickly and accurately retrieve search results from web pages.

Baidu is also planning a similar project. Once completed, it will crush Yahoo, Microsoft and other Silicon Valley giants and become a parallel existence with Google.

Ideals are magical and can confuse people's minds.

This is enough to make many people give up their favorable working conditions and move forward resolutely for an extremely difficult task.

This includes Wang Jian, executive vice president of Microsoft Research Asia.

But he increasingly felt that working at Microsoft was boring and lacked motivation. Especially when he saw that the technology in Silicon Valley was changing with each passing day and developing at a rapid pace.

The domestic Internet industry is still in the initial stage of "trade, industry and technology", and he has the worries and anxiety of a man with a science major.

He wants to do something.

He wants to leave his job.

Especially in March, the big data project team of the institute was collectively poached by Baidu. The old colleagues were like following the battlefield, and they went to realize their ambitious ambitions with great vigour.

This strengthened his idea!

But where to go after resigning?

Baidu is the first to exclude it, because Baidu is already working on a huge project and does not have enough financial resources and manpower to support the second one. Penguin? It must also be excluded. Thinking about selling skins, making games, and harvesting teenagers every day, the corporate style is not enough.

So in his previous life, he had only one answer.

Alibaba in BAT.

Only a large company of this level can support a large national project.

Then, he recommended himself and met with Boss Ma.

Boss Ma was still hesitant.

After a year, Taobao was overwhelmed by the huge traffic and couldn't think of a way to solve it. The annual profit was not enough to purchase servers. As the saying goes, "the technology is not enough, the hardware must be provided." On the other hand, if you want to solve the equipment problem,

We must seek high-end technology.

Then the two parties reconciled and launched the Alibaba Cloud project.

The difference is that in this life, in addition to BAT, the fourth giant has emerged in the domestic Internet industry-Ziweixing.

Coincidentally, Wang Jian and Ziweixing have maintained a cooperative relationship in the past two years. The data processing system of Friends.com was built by Wang Jian’s team.

What's even more coincidental is that not long ago, he received the invitation!

Zhang Yiming, the CEO of Friends Network, invited him to join Ziweixing and take the lead in a super big project!

What's even more coincidental is that the super large project Zhang Yiming mentioned is exactly the same as the project direction he is looking for, which is cloud computing business.

However, Dr. Wang Jian did not accept it.

He felt it was too unreal.

Then, Zhang Yiming made an appointment with him.

This time it was different. Zhang Yiming came here with another young man.

He knew this young man and had met him several times. He was Zhou Buqi, the big boss of Ziweixing.

"Dr. Wang Jian, long time no see."

The meeting took place at a coffee shop not far from the Microsoft Research Institute. When Zhou Buqi saw the real owner wearing a plaid shirt, he quickly stood up and walked over to shake hands with a smile.

Wang Jian smiled and shook his head, "Every time I see Mr. Zhou, I feel that I am too old."

Zhou Buqi said seriously: "Not old, not old, just right! With experience and a team, this is the time to play a huge role."

Dr. Wang Jian smiled and said nothing. He sat down on the invitation and sighed softly.

Zhou Buqi ordered a cup of coffee and said half-jokingly: "Doctor, you don't look down on me because I'm young, do you?"

Wang Jian was startled, "How is that possible?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Yes, speaking of which, I am only a junior this year. When you were a professor at the university, the doctoral students you brought out were all in their thirties, right? I really had some social barriers when I was young.

.”

Wang Jian said quickly: "Mr. Zhou, please don't misunderstand. From the first time we met, I have never looked down on you. When I was a teacher in school, I knew that young people are very powerful. I only admire you. Ziweixing

With such success, who dares to look down on you?"

"Then why did you reject him?"

Zhou Buqi pointed at Zhang Yiming.

"Well……"

Wang Jian's face stiffened slightly.

Zhou Buqi sighed: "Doctor, let me tell you the truth. About two years ago, I said internally that if Ziweixing wants to do cloud computing, it will definitely do cloud computing. But this is a big project, waiting for others to take over.

I can't afford such an arduous task. I have been looking for a suitable leader for the past two years, and in the end I felt that you were the most suitable person."

Wang Jian didn’t quite believe it, “Two years ago?”

Zhang Yiming smiled and said: "I testify that it was indeed two years ago. At that time, Friends.com happened to cooperate with your team, and he asked me to observe you secretly to judge whether you are suitable to take over this big project."

"Really two years ago?"

Wang Jian was in disbelief.

Cloud computing is a new topic right now, and it is the most cutting-edge concept in the world's technology, let alone two years ago. In 2005, Google was still publishing papers, and Microsoft was trying to build a cloud platform based on software as a service.

Internally, there are many difficulties and obstacles. Amazon's cloud development is considered an industry joke, and they feel that they are overestimating their capabilities.

How dare a small company just established in China have such an idea?
