Chapter 3216: Internal and external collusion company tour

"Collusion between inside and outside?"

Zhou Buqi finally realized what he was talking about.

Tang Binchen said: "Yes, it is collusion between inside and outside. Many tourists are not satisfied with just visiting the park, but also want to take a look inside their company. Especially many people who travel to Silicon Valley are domestically engaged in the IT industry and want to take a look. What is the difference between large companies in Silicon Valley and domestic companies? It is a big demand. "

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "So this startup company called Banmi provides this service?"

"Yes, they crossed the line." Tang Binchen was very angry about this, because this may lead to a huge disaster. "If tourists want to visit the company, they can actually do it. Silicon Valley will also provide such opportunities. But it must be It’s a special time period. During non-working hours, some tourists can be invited into the company to experience and witness the working atmosphere of Silicon Valley. However, Banmi did not take this route!”

This is like many prestigious universities.

Outsiders can also visit the school, take photos, and wander around the campus like college students.

But there is one thing: you cannot enter the teaching building and dormitory building casually, and you cannot affect the students' classes and rest.

If you want to visit the teaching building, you can.

I need to say hello to the school.

Then the school will arrange the time and choose a rest day. Students will not have classes and the teaching buildings will be empty. The school staff can guide tourists to visit the teaching buildings, libraries and even student dormitories.

The premise of everything is that it does not affect the normal study, work and life of students and teachers.

The problem is, demand exceeds supply.

The school provides too few opportunities, not even once or twice a semester, and almost every visitor wants to take a look around the teaching building.

So are the big companies in Silicon Valley.

Only a very small number of tourists have the opportunity to visit the interior of large companies. Most of them just take pictures and walk around in the park without knowing anything about the conditions inside the office building. It is said that the working environment of large companies in Silicon Valley is more relaxed than a coffee shop, with various creative designs and layouts, which is really attractive.

What should I do if I can’t get in?

Then there can only be internal and external collusion.

Tourists find ways to establish contact with employees within the company, and then the employees use their ID badges to take them to visit the company.

Zhou Buqi said: "This kind of thing also happens in China. I heard He Yang say before that some employees swiped their employee cards and brought many outsiders to visit Ziweixing. There were even paid services. It costs one or two hundred to bring a person! This is such an industry. There are more domestic tourists who are curious and yearning for Ziweixing’s internal office environment than those who travel abroad!”

Tang Binchen said angrily: "Yes, it's the same, it's this! I guess the corporate tour business launched by Banmi was inspired by the underground corporate tour market in China. Build a platform to connect tourists and company employees They are charged per head, US$100-150 per person, and then internal staff will take them to the company to visit and take photos.”

"Once something like this happens to Silicon Valley, it will only be more troublesome."

Zhou Buqi is also very troublesome about this matter.

Because Ziweixing has encountered it in the country.

For this reason, a number of employees were severely fired and such behavior was strictly prohibited. But it is difficult to prevent such private matters from the source.

Because large companies have internal referral systems.

Internal recommendation means that employees can recommend capable outsiders they know and trust to the company, and then the company will select the best candidates. This is much more efficient than recruiting people from the vast sea. But in this process, you always need to let the other party know about the company, right? Therefore, many people take advantage of this loophole and bring some friends to visit the company. The reason is to let them experience it, and if they are satisfied, they can recommend it.

Or maybe they are college students or family members of employees who want to visit... who can stop it?

In addition to legal principles, there are also human relationships, not to mention company rules.

So Ziweixing’s solution is to customize a batch of new access control equipment, combining the latest face recognition technology with the subway’s turnstiles. That is, you can only pass one person at a time, and each person you pass requires facial recognition. Only employees who have been sampled within the company can complete the recognition.

This technically solves the past loophole of swiping the access control card and using the employee card to open the door.

In the past, with the card swiping model, after an employee entered, others followed. Or you can hand over your card and an outsider can enter by swiping the card.

"Face recognition + turnstile" can effectively control the situation.

Or it can be said that technology is the ladder of human progress.

Many things that cannot be done with rules and organizational management can be patched with technology.

This is domestic.

This is not the case abroad. The management of Silicon Valley companies is much looser than that of domestic companies. They will not make any engineering innovations in the design of this kind of access control. In this regard, they are much behind domestic companies.

This means that this kind of collusion between internal and external parties to bring outsiders into the company is more difficult to effectively stop in Silicon Valley.

This can be dangerous.

Because technology companies have some core secrets, if outsiders come in, there may be commercial spies lurking in...

Especially the most important point.

Banmi is a domestic startup company!

Banmi users, visitors must be Chinese users in China, and the colluding employees must be Chinese employees.

This is very serious!

Tang Binchen can clearly feel this danger, "Facebook was the first to discover this kind of thing, and found that many employees were bringing outsiders to the company, and even bringing outsiders to the employee cafeteria to eat. And these employees are all Chinese employees!"

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath, "Maybe it's an anti-Chinese incident!"

"Yes, this is what I'm most worried about. The impact is too bad." Tang Binchen was heartbroken, "Some people don't realize that what they do will have a negative impact on the industry and even the entire Chinese community. Banmi users are all Chinese. Once it is magnified, it may be that the Chinese are colluding inside and outside to illegally invade Silicon Valley technology companies."

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "Some people don't care about the floods in order to make money!"

Tang Binchen said: "Now this matter has been magnified and has formed an industry effect.F After facebook found out about the incident, it started an internal investigation and found that dozens of Chinese employees were involved. Many photos of Facebook's internal affairs were circulated on social media, which made Zuckerberg very angry and fired all the employees involved. "

"All fired?"

"Yes, no mercy at all, no room for explanation, as long as they were found, they were all fired."

"The nature of this incident is indeed very bad." Zhou Buqi actually had some sympathy, "Maybe those Chinese employees who participated in it didn't think so much at all, they just wanted to use the Banmi platform to make some pocket money."

Tang Binchen said: "But in fact, this will trigger a group effect, which will cause rejection and vigilance in Silicon Valley. Because all employees involved in such incidents are Chinese employees!"

This time, Zhou Buqi seemed to have found another answer.

In Silicon Valley, Chinese were once stronger than Indians.

Later, the two sides were equal.

Later, Indians surpassed.

Later, Indians left Chinese far behind. Indians are even more competitive than whites in core positions, but Chinese are getting further and further away from core positions.

The occurrence of this phenomenon must be caused by multiple factors.

It is not only the change and complexity of the external environment, but also related to the Chinese community itself. These things are shocking. How can people not be afraid?

Tang Binchen sighed, "It's very troublesome now. The whole Silicon Valley is in a panic... You also know the latest Asia-Pacific strategy of the White House, which seems to have caused this matter to be exaggerated. The whole Silicon Valley has taken action. Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Cisco, IBM and other technology giants are all self-examining and examining whether their Chinese employees are involved."
