Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 65 Is 1000 Money Still Money?

Employees want to gamble with the boss, how can the boss not accept it?
Xia Zhi, who was in a good mood, readily agreed to Wang Jianbao's bet:
"Gambling, how to bet?"

Wang Jianbao thought about it for a while and said:

"If I guess right, then you have to assign me a separate office, I don't want to sit in a cubicle."

Xia Zhi smiled and said:

"It's simple. If you mention it, I will assign you one tomorrow. Our company still has many vacant offices."

Wang Jianbao laughed and said:
"No, no, the office I won this time is still comfortable."

Xiao Chen next to him teased and asked:

"Jianbao, the CTO office of the Zhiran platform was so big before, you have to come back to do research and development."

Wang Jianbao shook his head:

"You don't understand. CTO involves too much administrative management and needs to deal with many people. It is more comfortable to deal purely with algorithms."

Xia Zhi snapped his fingers and said:
"Okay, what if I win?"

Wang Jianbao said:
"President Xia, what request do you have?"

Xia Zhi thought for a while and said:

"If I win, you have to bring me an apprentice."

Wang Jianbao was taken aback.

Originally, according to the company's rules and regulations, veteran programmers like Wang Jianbao needed to be mentors. In addition to their work, they would guide newcomers and solve some technical problems for newcomers.

Just like Zhou Xu, Xia Zhi's tutor at the beginning.

But Wang Jianbao's character is relatively withdrawn and stubborn, so he is unwilling to take on apprentices.

No matter he is a top student who graduated from a prestigious school or a newbie who is obedient, sensible and discerning, no one can catch his eye and is only willing to immerse himself in studying algorithms.

According to Xia Zhi's thinking, if a boss like Wang Jianbao can lead an apprentice and teach him by example, he will definitely be able to bring out a good programmer.

Originally, Xia Zhi was more casual with his employees. Wang Jianbao would not take apprentices if he didn't want to. He never forced them.

But this time when he caught up, he couldn't think of any other requests for a while, so he simply took out this request as a reward for victory.

Wang Jianbao thought about it, and finally agreed.

Anyway, he felt that he had won this time.

At this time, Xiao Chen asked again:

"It's meaningless for you to just guess the gender. Look at the thirteen Asian professors here. Which one are they?"

Xia Zhi looked at the professors on the screen and said with a smile:
"I won't guess this one, you two guess, and whoever guesses right will get a reward."

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up and he asked:

"What's the reward?"

Wang Jianbao also looked at Xia Zhi with a smile.

Xia Zhi asked:

"Are you interested in bonuses?"

"Interested." "Not interested."

Two people, two answers.

Xia Zhi smiled and said:

"In that case, whoever guesses correctly, I'll treat him to dinner."

"Row!"

This time the two agreed in unison.

Regardless of whether the meal is worth it or not, if the CEO treats you to a meal, it is a reward for your face, and the employees will naturally have to give them enough face.

Xiao Chen and Wang Jianbao carefully read the materials of the professors and discussed together:
"This professor of literature must be ruled out?"

"Yeah, that artistic style doesn't fit the image of a programmer either."

"You see, this old lady is about to retire, so she must be ruled out."

"What about this one? This one is bald and has the temperament of a strong man."

Xia Zhi sat aside and checked the system points in his mind:

【Mission No. 3 in progress: data compression algorithm. 】

[Development time: 168 days]

[Energy input: 37514 points]

[Investment funds: 669784 points]

[External assistance: 713841 points]

[Total mission points: 99 points]

[Note: The minimum points required to enable system assistance: 100 task points. 】

Just now they studied the formula conversion and compression algorithm for a while, and collected [-] to [-] external assistance points.

It seems that as long as the direction is right, it is easy to earn points.

Xia Zhi thought about it and asked the team to study the algorithm in depth tomorrow, and it should be perfect.

At this moment, Wang Jianbao and Xiao Chen both selected the most likely candidates in their minds.

Xia Zhi glanced at it and nodded to show that he remembered it.

Wang Jianbao thought of something again and asked:

"Mr. Xia, the distribution of prize money in our competition is based on the scores. Zhuang Xu's algorithm has more than one billion points, and everyone else is in single digits. What kind of fart is this ratio?"

Xiao Chen laughed and said:

"Yeah, don't forget about it, Zhuang Xu's special prize is exclusive to 3000 million."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh too:

"Indeed, this is a difficult problem. According to the competition rules we announced earlier, Zhuang Xu is indeed exclusive."

Xiao Chen asked again:

"Will the other contestants complain?"

Wang Jianbao said of course:
"Complaints? Complain ass, people's algorithm is there, if you want to get a bonus, you have to show some strength."

Xia Zhi shook his head and said:

"Forget it, it's better to be moderate."

"Why moderate?"

Xia Zhi finally decided:
"Zhuang Xu monopolizes the 3000 million prize pool. This remains unchanged. An additional 1000 million will be distributed to the winners later. It can't be a waste of time."

Wang Jianbao pouted:

"If you lose, you lose. I have nothing to say. I also wrote an algorithm. I accept the bet and admit defeat."

Xiao Chen explained:

"This competition is not only to get a good algorithm, but also to publicize Zhixia Technology. It is better for Mr. Xia to make this oolong."

Xia Zhi nodded:
"Besides Zhuang Xu, there are still many outstanding talents. Wouldn't it be great if we could attract them to work for Zhixia Technology? Besides, does 1000 million count as money?"

Wang Jianbao nodded.

Only Xiao Chen swallowed, slandering in his heart: 1000 million is enough for me to work for a lifetime.

He glanced at the time, it was already past one in the morning.

Xia Zhi suggested that they go out for supper together before getting off work.

Wang Jianbao and Xiao Chen raised their hands in agreement.

The three of them went downstairs and found an all-night barbecue restaurant to eat, drink and chat.

When they parted, Xia Zhi told Wang Jianbao and Xiao Chen:
"It's really late today, so you don't have to come tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Chen again:

"By the way, the colleagues in the group are working overtime very late today. You can inform them later that they don't have to come to the company tomorrow morning."

Xiao Chen nodded and put up an ok gesture:
"Well, I will notify you in the group."

Early the next morning, Xia Zhi woke up from the villa and saw Xiao Bai crawling on the bed and rubbing his face with his tail.

He drove Xiao Bai down, wanting to catch up on sleep for a while.

At this time, I saw a message from Qi Siyue on the phone, saying that she thought of a good gift and put it on Xia Zhi's desk.

It didn't say in detail what the gift was.

Xia Zhi was a little curious, and couldn't fall asleep pretending to have something to do, so he got up, washed and rushed to the company.

When I arrived at my office, I saw a box on the table, which was not yet packaged.

Xia Zhi opened the box, and there was an old mechanical watch lying quietly inside.

Xia Zhi was a little strange, he called Qi Siyue and asked:
"This mechanical watch is a gift you prepared? Can it be given to a girl?"

Qi Siyue smiled slyly and said:

"Mr. Xia, this watch has a lot of background, listen to me in detail."
