In addition to poetry and distant places, there is also my first love "Party A"

When I was in college, because my major was computer science and software development, I worked part-time in the school's network management center, maintaining various office systems within the campus. Based on my proficient mastery of HTML/CSS, I participated in the development of the official website of a secondary college of the school, and since then began a long love affair with "website construction".

After graduation, I entered the so-called network operation position: website planning, web design, website development, website promotion... In view of my "rich experience" in school, my boss also had high hopes for me. As the first party, I cooperated with many companies in website construction and network promotion.

Later, when I felt I had grown stronger, I started the so-called " entrepreneurship ", providing services to the client: website planning and construction, and network hosting and operation. As a party B with little experience, I have only been in this field for 2 years.

These two years have not only been exhausting and strenuous work, but also the injuries that have damaged my energy, my mind, and my personality;

In the past two years, it has been V Final Edition, V Most Final Edition, V Most Final Edition 1... but the first version is still the best, sad tears;

In the past two years, I finally realized that "every person who works as the second party has a blood and tears history of being oppressed by the first party as thick as a Xinhua Dictionary."

The customer is God, and Party A is the "master"

A website with a budget of 2,000 yuan asked three companies in the circle to bid, calling it brainstorming and saying that this was the safest and most secure method that we, the client, had to take. Then they started to undercut each other's prices. It is true that "the customer is God" is a service term, which means that we should treat customers with the same respect as we would treat God. This is not human nature, but the result of competition for survival...

In this era, everyone is talking about data: big data accumulation, big data analysis , big data marketing . I might as well show off. Combining my two years of website planning and construction, network operation and hosting services, I sorted out all the Party A information and completed the following user portrait of Party A:

1. Self-righteous type: On the cusp of the Internet, even pigs can fly, so why can’t I?

A: Isn’t the Nike logo just a hook? I can also make a logo by drawing a circle. Actually, I am also a designer...blablabla...

Nike logo designer said

A: Your webpage is terrible, please redo it! This is what the leader means. You have to do as I say. I will watch you do it...

(1 day later)

A: How did you make this website? I clearly informed the leader of his thoughts, why is it still like this...

(1 day later)

A: You are so bad. The leader decided to put this here, put that there, this one up a little, that one down a little, um, that's it...

(1 day later)

A: Are you still going to do it or not? ! The leader said that this idea is too tacky and has no novelty at all, and he doesn’t want to be involved in this job anymore! change!

(1 day later)

Party A changes players...Continue the cycle above...

What programmers fear the most is: The first version is still the best, why don’t you just use the first version…

A: We just want to make a very simple website, just like Baidu...

A: Isn't it very simple to modify this? Just add a line of text to this module on this webpage, and add a "Login" button, which is the code of the input button.

2. Well-funded type: Build a website first, money is not a problem...

Meet Party A in a majestic and upscale office with huge floor-to-ceiling windows

A: That property is not mine, Mr. So-and-so is my friend, and Mr. So-and-so is my relative. This is a small project with an investment of tens of millions...

A: Anyway, we are a big company, so we will leave this website to you. The only requirement is that it should be "high-end".

A: Don't worry, money is not a problem. After the work is done, I will definitely not owe you any money.

…

The safest and most secure method that Party A has to take is to brainstorm and bid:

After submitting the proposal, Party A said they needed to ask the leader for approval. I urged them several times but received no response. Then I waited for half a year...

Later, they suddenly sent me a message saying that the previous plan was lost. I sent them another one, and then we lost contact for 8 weeks...

Not long ago, another message came out saying that the leader wanted to have a face-to-face meeting and asked us to prepare PPT and other things. Now another 4 weeks have passed...

3. Efficiency cheat type: You guys work overtime, the leader is here

I received a call this morning and was told to prepare a plan in a week, so I arranged my work...

After lunch, he said that the leader would be here in three days, so he asked them to speed up the process. So he told his subordinates to just refine the draft without hesitation...

At 3 pm, Party A came in person and said he wanted to see the preliminary proposal at 6 pm...

At 6 o'clock, Party A cursed the leader in the office, and we cursed along while typing and drawing...

4. Story-telling type: Young man, work hard and I will give you an original share in the future!

It is always so smooth and exciting, because Party A can come up with a project with tens of millions of financing.

A: Our project is going to have a roadshow in Shanghai. A certain capital is willing to make angel investments. We will also have A and B rounds in the future...

Party A invited us to a high-end coffee shop and passionately talked about the grand goals of the future market.

A: We have an opportunity to make a lot of money. We hope that you can serve our company at a low price or even for free. The development of our company can lead you to a worry-free future, and material resources will flow into your pockets continuously and easily. We can even give you equity in the future.

If Alibaba gave me 0.1% of the original shares, wouldn't I be a billionaire?

Even if Party A abuses me thousands of times, I still treat my clients like my first love.

We have to admit that there are indeed some unreliable Party A's, but it is not that exaggerated. There are more pragmatic and reliable Party A's who will only "trouble" Party B occasionally. But when it comes to "trouble", in fact, not all the responsibility lies with Party A. To a large extent, it is caused by the unprofessionalism of Party B. These reliable parties all have one thing in common – pragmatism, goals and execution. There is no such thing as simply doing it, Internet+, online and offline marketing methods, or several rounds of financing.

In my eyes, they are my clients and also my role models. They have their own ideas and thoughts, and what I do is just to add icing on the cake and add fuel to the fire. I am more like a mercenary. Therefore, in our cooperation, there is no nonsense about lofty ideals, nor do they tell us how many business orders they will introduce to me in the future, nor do they ask us to set up a website first. More often than not, I get not only material things, but also a sense of accomplishment and respect.

Perhaps these little things are the only reason why I feel gratified that I have persisted until now.
