Rebirth of financial migrant workers

Chapter 210 Small problems continue, Wang Chunliang personally takes action

As we all know, among the businesses undertaken by the Information Technology Department, system development and maintenance occupy the majority of the bank's funds.

To give a few examples,
Mule Bank's credit system looks unremarkable and always pops up error windows. The original development investment was 1.2 million yuan.

For the new core system launched in 2017 in the previous life, the development companies bidding were all unknown second-tier companies, and the investment available was still as high as an astonishing 1.6 million yuan.

Other systems, such as pricing systems, CRM systems, KPI systems, and many other systems that are not well known and even rarely used by employees, require tens or even millions of yuan in annual maintenance investment.

As for how much of the funds were retained by relevant team members, outsiders do not know.

Being able to lead such a large-scale system development and maintenance work itself represents its high status in the minds of the leaders of the bank.

In addition to department managers, the Information Technology Department of Mule Bank’s head office has a total of 14 regular employees.

Six of them belong to the system development team newly established in the past two years.

After the system development team was established, the above-mentioned part of the pie with the highest profits and the most conspicuous achievements was no longer equally divided among the original 14 people, but became exclusive to 6 people.

This is the root cause of the internal strife in the Ministry of Information Technology.

Afterwards, in order to calm the conflicts, the line leaders whimsically divided the business related to the system into two parts. The cake for developing the new system was divided between the system development team and the cake for maintaining the system was left to other members of the information technology department.

However, this distribution failed to alleviate the conflicts between the two parties. Instead, members of both parties felt that they had suffered a great loss, and the struggle between them became more intense.

"This blue screen."

Wang Chunliang held the U-shield and turned to look at Ge Cong.

Ge Cong slapped his forehead and apologized again and again: "Oh, my, my, my! I forgot that computer doesn't work, please change to the one next to you."

"Mr. Ge, may I ask what caused the blue screen?"

"Oh, it's a system compatibility issue. By the way, remember that the fund collection system and USB shield cannot be used in the newly launched WIN7 operating system, and the usage environment can only be the XP operating system."

"Ah, what if the customer's computer is replaced with WIN7? Shouldn't such a big BUG be fixed?"

"Who says it's not the case? But the people in charge of this area don't do anything."

Ge Cong lit a cigarette, moved a chair and sat behind Wang Chunliang, saying helplessly.

Wang Chunliang followed the other party's instructions and changed to a computer with XP system. After plugging in the USB shield, everything was normal.

He opened the online banking interface, waited for login verification, and then continued waiting.
Ge Cong comforted him: "Xiao Wang, don't worry, the system interface we use is a bit time-consuming to log in to, please be patient and wait for a while."

After 40 seconds, the system login was successful.

The traditional online banking function works normally, and there is no difference between the special U-shield and the ordinary U-shield.

Wang Chunliang was relieved by 30%.

Then, he began to test the fund pooling account signing process.

According to the development plan, when he switches to a layman account to perform collection authorization operations, two prompt windows should pop up.

The first time is to collect authorization for the account, and the second time is to collect historical transaction authorization. The first window popped up very smoothly. Wang Chunliang looked at his watch, waiting for the second pop-up window to appear.

But after five minutes passed, I still couldn't wait for the new pop-up window to appear.

Wang Chunliang turned his head with difficulty and looked at Ge Cong: "Is this a failure?"

Ge Cong frowned, took a deep breath of cigarette, bent down, pulled out the USB shield and plugged it in again, logged in to online banking again, and repeated this operation three or four times.

At this moment, Wang Chunliang's mind flashed to the scene in the first Mission: Impossible movie where Tom cruised and stole secrets.

It's just that the protagonist was replaced by himself, and the hanging steel cable collapsed halfway. If you look carefully, it has 'Made in Mule Bank' engraved on it.
"Okay, look, if you repeat this operation a few times, the second pop-up window will appear."

Ge Cong's words of surprise brought Wang Chunliang back to reality, and a new authorization window finally popped up on the computer screen.

Ge Cong continued to operate the mouse, clicked the OK button above, then switched back to the background, pointed at the data above and said:
"Look, we have successfully collected the transaction data. And according to your request, the second pop-up window has been disguised so that others will think it is still an authorization prompt for account collection."

Wang Chunliang took the mouse and tried to operate it again by himself.

The first time it fails, the second time it fails, and it is not until the third time that the operation is considered successful.

He sighed and said feebly:
"Originally, customers would not have any doubts, but now anyone will doubt the true purpose of this thing."

"Oh, there are indeed some problems."

"It stands to reason that the functional modules are all ready-made, and we are not developing a new system."

Ge Cong reached out and patted Wang Chunliang's shoulder heavily and explained:

"Precisely because it is not developing a new system, this business belongs to the system maintenance level. The personnel of the operation and maintenance outsourcing company belong to Ma Ming. Oh, it is the bald man you met when you came in just now. He is in charge. There is a lot of water in the information technology department. "Shen, it is not easy for our system development team to borrow outsourcing personnel from Ma Ming, so the work has been postponed until today."

Wang Chunliang was not surprised that Engineer Ge Cong could not develop the system himself and had to rely on the employees of the outsourcing company he cooperated with.

The bank's own system developers are actually more similar to the contractors of decoration companies. Their main job is to coordinate and distribute the needs put forward by customers (branch branches) to various outsourcing companies, and hand them over to each other for specific research and development work.

"Could it be that Ma Ming didn't know that this was President Wang's order?"

Ge Cong had been preparing for this question for a long time and finally answered this question meaningfully:
"It is said that he is President Ning's employee, so you know. President Wang has been stationed abroad in the past two years, so he may not be very clear about the specific issues within the department."

Wang Chunliang did not answer. He had reason to suspect that Ge Cong deliberately told him, and then conveyed it to his senior brother through his own words. His purpose was self-evident.

He raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and said:
"Mr. Ge, it is more appropriate for you to report the conflicts in personnel relations to President Wang in person. It is only 2: now, and there is still some time before get off work. You can't borrow people, but the text of the original development system is with you. There should be a backup, please find it and show it to me."

Ge Cong's face tightened, he stood up and returned to his seat, while flipping through the computer he replied:

"Yes, yes, I'll give it to you right now. We'll go over this little thing again later, and I still won't believe it."

"By the way, Mr. Ge, if a bug occurs in corporate online banking, it is a system maintenance issue. According to what you just said, this should be left to Ma Ming to handle, right?"

"Yes, that's true."

"The colleague at the door is my friend. He doesn't know the twists and turns here. He has reported the above problem to your team. After waiting for a week, there is still no result. Could you please help to check whether one of your employees accidentally got stuck? The progress was not left to Ma Ming and others."
