Xueba's computing system

Chapter 72 Everything is difficult at the beginning
The Haotuan started testing in Hexi very quickly, even before Lin Yuan submitted a detailed technical report.

Because for commercial companies, profit is always the driving force behind all actions, and technology always serves business.

Lin Yuan found an excuse - he was busy coordinating with the regiment's testing work in Hexi and had no time to organize the technical documents.

He relied on this high-sounding excuse to deal with the current troubles, because the testing work was indeed trivial and busy.

The group's vice president of technology, who was sent from Songhu, was in charge in Zijin City. In fact, Lin Yuan was no longer under the jurisdiction of the technical department of the Zijin branch. His employment relationship was linked to the research branch in Songhu.

Although Haotuan's headquarters is in Beijing, and its internal research institute is located in the same place as its headquarters, it has also set up a research branch in Songhu. After all, Songhu is the core of the Dragon Country's economic engine, and almost all Internet companies have important institutions here. Therefore, Haotuan is no exception.

After Lin Yuan's position was attached to the Songhu Branch, although his position was not high, much lower than the technical department boss of the Zijin Branch, in terms of the administrative division within the Haotuan, Lin Yuan was not under the jurisdiction of the Zijin Branch.

So, in fact, Lin Yuan has already transcended.

Lin Yuan was originally worried about whether his colleagues would have difficulty adapting, but in fact, they adapted very quickly. The head of the technical department naturally treated Lin Yuan as an equal in daily interactions. Occasionally, he would humbly ask for advice and consult Lin Yuan on the specific technical details of the takeaway algorithm iteration.

Lin Yuan didn't mean to hide it from him, but what bothered him was how to explain that he relied on the system to cheat. So naturally he couldn't tell the other party.

Originally, Lin Yuan was worried that the other party would blame him for this, but he didn't expect that the more perfunctory he was to the other party, the more affectionate he became.

Finally, for unknown reasons, this matter reached the ears of Liu Zhang, the Vice President of Technology, and the head of the technical department of Zijin was criticized in an internal notice of the company.

When Lin Yuan received the email informing him of the criticism, he was completely confused.

The email mentioned that the head of the technical department of the Zijin branch violated the company's internal regulations and inquired about work content outside of his personal responsibilities and authority. His original responsibility was to cooperate with the iterative testing of the algorithm, and he had no authority to inquire about the implementation details of the algorithm. His private inquiries violated the company's internal confidentiality regulations.

Only then did Lin Yuan truly realize that the confidentiality agreement he signed when he joined the company was no joke. Companies are not like schools. They don't joke around with you. If you break the rules, you will be punished. The head of the technical department at Zijin, who was originally far away from home, was transferred to an unknown place just because he asked about the algorithm.

What made Lin Yuan even more scared was that he had not reported this matter to the Vice President of Technology, and the head of the technical department would obviously not publicize his misdeeds. So how did the Vice President of Technology know about this?

Is there any other answer besides someone snitching?

This was the first time that Lin Yuan felt the cruelty of a large company.

What scares Lin Yuan even more is that the head of the technical department is very experienced and it is impossible for him not to know the company's internal confidentiality regulations. So why would he take the risk and ask him about the algorithm again and again?

Is it to improve one's own technical skills?
But Lin Yuan recalled that he had never seen the head of the technical department write code himself. He was not the kind of person who was obsessed with technology. The answer was obvious - business competition?

Lin Yuan just felt it was extremely chaotic.

Compared with the complexity of the world before our eyes, this system with unclear rules is obviously not even that of an elementary school student.

Only now did he fully understand what his mentor had said - there must be both revealing and concealing.

Finally, Lin Yuan was too lazy to maintain the relationship with his colleagues, because who knows which pair of eyes were always watching him quietly in the corner. He quickly deleted the core code on the laptop that the company assigned to him, and used it purely as a test machine. He would rather continue to use his old T440 to write code.

These incidents did not affect Lin Yuan, and he soon devoted himself to the testing work in the HX area. Haotuan naturally opened up all the rider information access rights to Lin Yuan, so Lin Yuan no longer needed to collect information by installing small software on the riders' mobile phones.

The real obstacle is the collection of business information.

When Lin Yuan was training the first draft of the algorithm, the data he used was from the area under Liu Huzi's jurisdiction, which was only about one-tenth the size of the entire HX area.

In order to collect data from one-tenth of the HX district, Lin Yuan personally rode an electric scooter to visit each store, in order to calibrate the camera of each merchant one by one and obtain the merchant data.

It's fine to do this for a small area, but for the entire HX area, it's really terrible. Lin Yuan can't go to every store one by one.

What's even more terrifying is that what if the algorithm is rolled out to the entire Zijin City, and then the entire Longguo? It's impossible for Lin Yuan to cover every business in the country like a map survey.

Therefore, before we could figure out how to implement the algorithm’s technical details, we encountered another problem: the expansion of the scope of data collection.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to first connect the rider information from Haotuan, and then put the algorithm online and run it in the small area of Liu Huzi where the merchant data collection had already been completed.

This will give the company an explanation - you see, the algorithm has been tested in a small area of 1/10 of the HX area. I am still thinking about how to expand it to the entire HX area.

But Lin Yuan knew that a good group would not give him too much time. Not to mention a week, there must be results within two or three days.

Because the characteristics of software products determine that when the data is in place, the algorithm can be rolled out very quickly. Haotuan has given Lin Yuan full access to the data of riders and merchants in the HX area (the merchant data of the food delivery platform is very limited). If the algorithm cannot be rolled out to the entire HX area within two or three days, it is obviously unacceptable.

Lin Yuan scratched his head and even thought of the worst outcome - he could just run around the entire HX area himself. He would just deal with the current trouble first.

To truly solve the trouble of collecting merchant data, we still have to turn to the evil system.

[System, can you please change the way you collect data? ]

[I can't split myself into two, and with your current crappy collection method, I can't visit every business in Zijin City, let alone the whole country. One HX district is already my limit.]

But the system routinely pretends to be dead.

[Are you really going to force me to reveal: I have a system? ]

[Forget it, you are just a dog. ]

In the end, Lin Yuan could only turn to himself for help.

He thought about it. Ever since the system guided him to get into Zijin Aviation School, it has become more and more like a tool. Not only does it no longer guide him in the future, but it also requires him to figure out the solutions to problems on his own.

Things like "computing power exchange rate" and "data channel construction" were all figured out by myself.

[You are not a three-year-old system, are you? ]
