From programmers to CEO, I remember that FISHMAN was next to the Southern University of Tsinghua University, the new wave of Sina was also in the new wave, and Fishman was invited, and the first impression is very handsome. It is not elephant. The company's CEO is like a movie star. His real name Wu Xisang, read it is whimsical, it is not as good as FISHMAN this net name. Fishman also likes this net name, sometimes I also joked myself to "fish", when I chatted, Fishman talked about the technical section of the Shuimu Tsinghua BBS that had been done for 4 years, talked about these, The eyes and tone revealed more confidence. He said that many friends have met at that time, including 3721 CTO Zhou Hongyi, so far, now Shuimu Tsinghua's BBS has still retained many of his technical articles.
But now, Fishman has now changed his role to a CEO. He is now leading the world network software company being actively expanding its network of online games, and he also transforms from a developer who burys the program to frequently shuttle Decision and administrators between major companies in various places. FISHMAN is a truly from the software developer step by step to CEO, the process and hardships are only the most clear.
Primrose
Fishman from the seaside city of Guangdong, in 1991, FISHMAN has entered the Department of Computer Science in Jinan University in 1991. When I first entered the University, I saw the real computer for the first time. Previously, the computer specialized because of the video of the video on the street. If you enter the computer room, you can brush the same class with the keyboard, he feels that it is a bit free. However, it quickly put into the enthusiasm of the computer, very interested in these complicated things, the whole day of the computer room, and slowly have advanced consciousness, and began to check the "computer world" in the library. "Computer" and "China Computer User" computer newspapers, etc., and practice the content learned. Just started to paint gourd, and later gradually had its own thinking. In 1994, with the rise of Windows programming and multimedia technology, many of the multimedia CDs of various subject matter appeared. He began to study the use of prototype development tool technology to develop a "South Guangdong Multimedia Development Platform" similar to Macromedia Authorware, which can be used to make multimedia CDs, software demonstrations, and multimedia courseware. After half a year of hard work, Fishman successfully completed the "South Guangdong Multimedia Development Platform" version 1.0. A few years of efforts have finally got some gains. He has obtained the first place in the 1995 Guangdong University Cup Software Competition in the 1995 Ministry of Science and Commission to organize expert appraisal and obtained computer world scholarships. Later, his software also represents the representative of the "Challenge Cup" national college competition held in Wuhan University in December 1995, and has achieved best achievements in Guangdong Province. That era, like many young people, seek Bo Wang, Zhu Wenjun as a successful programmer is also a FISHMAN's idol, they all have the passion of their own business. Single pen horses, after graduation, a Hong Kong rich business investment is 300,000, helping Fishman started its company at the end of 1995: Guangzhou Feiying Computer Company. And this company has also become a turning point for Fishman once, and it has become a beginning of a rough journey.
A hard time
At that time, Feiying Computer Company is a miniature IT company that is less than 10 people. Due to the restrictions of funds, he can only use the least amount of money to do the best. Fishman has begun to act as just a programmer's role. He not only wants to do technology, but also planned market promotion, sales, proxy cooperation, technical support. Although it is very tired, he is able to top the winner, but a 50-year-old cadre sent in the national unit, a general manager who has been spelling how it is spelling him, it makes him appreciate the hardship and unable to start business. The restraint. FISHMAN is very clear that each version of the software has its life cycle and insufficient, looking at the increasing popularity of the Internet, at the beginning of 97, he began to propose to develop the Eagle 4.0, increase the Internet characteristics, and the general manager. There are several companies and units to look at their products, hoping to invest in Feiying Computer companies and have been rejected by the general manager. In the Flying Eagle 3.0, I obtained the third China PC application software design Grand Prix of December 1997, the first tool class software first, and thus the position of the Director of China Software Industry Association, IDG sent people to fly. Eagle Computer Company negotiating, hoping to invest in, requiring a business plan, rejected by the general manager! A more intense blow follows, the company decided to suspend the development of the Eagle 4.0 for other things. This makes it impossible for Fishman who have been overwhelming, and it is ill. And I left the flying eagle computer in July 98. Later, he mentioned that this painful experience brought him a deeper thinking, began to calm down to think about the Chinese software industry. He believes that the funds and technology of Chinese models, and the injuries are always technicians. Many famous programmers have eaten this loss and mention Zhou Hongwei, Wang Zhidong, and so on. Many of China's software companies still can't get rid of the original workshop mode, the original management mode. Several people looking for a computer to find a place is a software company, which can really go to success. China's software products are still only a few varieties. Under the shouting of azazole in the aircraft carrier enterprises such as foreign Microsoft, many software companies have disappeared in China IT history. At that time, Fishman was extremely painful. The friend who made technology around him took a person to go to the United States, can't help but sigh: Is there only a US software technician? The network made Fishman started the second job.
The network gave the programmer's great opportunities and challenges. Many companies and individuals caught up with the online tide, and many people didn't realize the opportunity to bring to programmers, so now member. In fact, for programmers, sensitivity to technology development is determined whether it is able to grasp this when turning. Programmers are concerned with technology, but it is not equivalent to only technology.
The network storm began to scrape, January 1990, Fishman joined the newly established Boda International Internet Company, became the second employee of Boda. Soon after, under his leadership, Bao University launched an email list engine, survey engine, domain name turning and network rhetoric and other products.
A chance, Fishman encountered Chen Zhongwen, one of the founders of Chinese hot news, Chen Zhongwen asked why Fishman went abroad, he said: "I need a new starting point, I don't want to make a workshop development software. I need a software. The company has sufficient developers, standardized development models and international operating models. I hope that software companies are bigger and effective. " It can be said that Chen Zhongwen is a person who makes Fishman feeling next to me. When he established a Chinese hot news, he is not optimistic. Several people have got less than 10,000 yuan to do without a technical content, and the possibility of being copied and replaced is very large, that is, the probability of success is too small. However, they succeeded, first quoted by IDG, and later merged into a dream hot news group. The idea of the two is very consistent. Install this consideration, they have docked two business plans. In November 1999, successful investment has attracted investments from the Hong Kong Myrice Corporation, and founded the fairy Tong Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (cntomi.com). Not long, another business plan for the establishment of online game software has also been investing, which is later become the largest network graphic MUD game developer Tianxia Technology Co., Ltd. In the fairy tong digital, his role is CTO, responsible for representing the company's technical image, the development, technical problem research, standardization development process, technical employees, and cooperative manufacturers, production department (Development department, product department, Daily management of the QA department.
In the fairy tap, he began to perfugue his own ideas, establishing a norm, after the company's departmental architecture is set up, each position is prepared for a job responsibility, daily work content and working specifications. How to do this job, how to write work reports, how to make a work plan, etc., etc. are well made in detail. He emphasized the team's ability, the market department and the product department handed over the early preparation of product development, the development department prepared demand analysis, technical feasibility analysis, and system analysis document, and then provided work documents to the quality inspection department and product department. The Development Department is responsible for the program, the Quality inspection department is prepared to test documentation, product design website interface, technical support preparation maintenance manual. The encoding and testing are alternate, and new software products are released after the product quality reaches the requirements. The research department conducts in-depth research on current trend, and prepares technical feasibility reports and produces some software samples, and finally handed over to the company's management.
In the past a year, Fishman is still seeking to break through the self, watching the number of fairy tongs with a big one, and his inner heart is also full of desire. Fishman sells his own shares in the fairy ticker, and it is also a self-cultivation of Tianxia Technology Co., Ltd., which has been engaged in the creation of online game development, and serves as CEO.
In Fishman's eyes, CEO is more than just a kind of title, but a call to international enterprises, do CEO, not a name change, but from the specific operation of the entire software company, in accordance with international standards. Going out of the country, you can really understand the status quo of abroad to make a true CEO. He believes in this regard, in fact, it also applies to programmers. Although as long as it is programming, no matter how long, it can be called programmers, but if you can truly technical and foreign standards, you can learn abroad. .
Fishman has said: "The network has given us a lot of opportunities, but he has never dared to get involved in the real network. He always feels more real, doing technology more insurance, making it more suitable for yourself, and cannot give up the complex to software development. But he is also very grateful to the network, the network gives more opportunities, whether it is a personal or software industry. "He can't completely put down the method of the program. Programmers care about software engineering, technical programs, programming skills and collaborative work, etc., the goal is to be a technical master. The pressure comes from the technology of innovation, the solution of technical problems, ensuring the quality and development progress of the program. These are solved by their own efforts, that is, the programmer can grasp. Managers care about software engineering and quality control, technical barriers, market entry points, cost control, marketing, sales channels, government policies, copyright protection, absorbing talents, after-sales services, etc., the goal is to get the company to obtain income, get survival And development space. His pressure comes from the company's goals and development opportunities, requiring coordination of the company's internal operation and external relationship. Especially when the company is small, the anti-risk ability is very poor, CEOs should coordinate the company's funds, personnel, markets and positioning contradictions. It is not easy to grasp, and efforts don't necessarily have improved. If you accidentally turn your boat. The transformation of the two is from local consideration to global consideration. A success is the programmer -> Project Supervisor -> Development Manager -> CTO -> CEO is so transitioned.
Although there have been many results, Fishman has never relaxed. For the journey of the hard work, I am sigh: "Looking back, it has been in the Chinese software industry for five years. I used to be full of blood, with a sleepless programming For the music; once the gas is sent, it will be awarded the sound of silver. I have been deeply blown. I want to drive the ocean to escape the frustration; I have also turned the way to turn, and I started the wind. Everything is the speech. I can express it. After that, the unchanged only the belief in the software industry! "
