"Don't worry, boss, we are strictly implementing every instruction you have, as long as you can apply for a patent, whether it is useful or not, none of us will be left behind. ”

"In addition, this technology is relatively simple, that is, each client transmits information between our relay servers, so in the experimental stage, we applied for all the patents, and they have been completed. ”

Because of Zheng Yan's dedication to patent application, it indirectly affected everyone in the laboratory, and Xie Xin specially arranged personnel to apply for patents.

"Have you thought of a name, and a logo?"

"Boss, we're only responsible for product development, and as for the name and logo, it doesn't seem to be part of our scope of work. Also, we deal with data and code every day, so what do you think we can do?"

At present, Xie Xin has not realized the value of instant messaging software, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are too few people who have computers and can access the Internet, rather than using this kind of software to communicate, it is better to make a phone call conveniently and affordably. Because of this, he missed the opportunity to name an epoch-making product.

Zheng Yan knows very well that the logo has always been a symbol of a company or product, which can enhance customers' awareness of the product and expand the company's influence. And Xie Xin's tone was quite disdainful, and he didn't take it seriously at all, so Zheng Yan dispelled the idea of naming him.

"The name is good, I plan to launch this product in the United States first, since this is the case, I will name it IM, which is the abbreviation of Instant Messenger, which means simple and clear. As for the logo, what do you think of using carrier pigeons?"

"Although this product was first marketed in the United States, it was developed by us in Huaxia after all, and the carrier pigeon has always been a tool for communication in ancient times. Even in the present, the dove is still a symbol of peace, and I think it has a good meaning and is easy to remember. ”

Zheng Yan is so anxious to decide on the name and logo of the product, mainly because he wants to carry out the post-processing of the product as soon as possible. Ten years later, when people see a penguin avatar or QQ, they will unconsciously think of Tencent, and what Zheng Yan wants is this effect, so he can't be sloppy at the beginning.

As for Xie Xin, he didn't care much about it, and of course he wouldn't object to Zheng Yan's opinion.

"That being the case, the product name and logo were decided. Next, you need to add the product name and logo to the software as soon as possible, and in addition to that, you need to add the function of group chat..."

Zheng Yan told Xie Xin all the problems that he could think of and that could be achieved under the current conditions, and then asked, "How long will it take you to complete these tasks?"

Xie Xin thought for a while, although Zheng Yan put forward a lot of opinions, most of them were changes in some details, and there were no subversive changes, "If it's just these, it shouldn't take long, and it will definitely be completed within half a month." Of course, if the boss's reward is generous enough, I don't think it's impossible to have a week. ”

Although Xie Xin repeatedly took the initiative to ask for rewards, Zheng Yan was not disgusted at all. Zheng Yan's principle has always been that rewards and punishments are clear, as long as he has the ability and can make achievements, Zheng Yan will not be stingy with rewards.

"You don't have to talk about the reward, and I'm very happy this time. When you finish the improvements I've mentioned, all the staff in the lab will get ten days of paid vacation, and if you wish, you can travel to the places you want to go, all of which will be reimbursed at public expense. ”

"In addition, all the staff of the laboratory can get a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and you, as the person in charge of the laboratory, can get 200,000 yuan. In addition, when the product is launched, I will give 1% of the company's shares as a reward. That's all for now, if you want more rewards, then work harder and complete other research tasks. ”

As far as Xie Xin knows, the salary of their laboratory is already the best in Hong Kong City, and he didn't expect Zheng Yan to give such a generous reward. Although he was already very satisfied in his heart, it was rare for Zheng Yan to be happy, so he naturally had to make more requests.

"Boss, can I take my family with me when I go on a trip? You know, there are many people in our laboratory who have already got married, so they can't go out to play by themselves, right?"

Zheng Yan looked at Xie Xin, who had a flattering face, and said, "As long as you can complete the work I assigned within a week, I will allow you to bring your families." If you are married, you can bring your wife and children, if you are not married, you can also bring your parents, even if you are in love, you can also bring your boyfriend and girlfriend. ”

"However, we agreed in advance that the company will only be responsible for the round-trip air tickets and accommodation, and nothing else. I don't want my employees to end up with the proof of losing a bet for me to reimburse. ”

Zheng Yan's last sentence seems to be a joke, but it is actually a reminder to Xie Xin. Gambling is prevalent in Hong Kong City, and it can almost be said that no one does not gamble, and Zheng Yan does not want his company to have such an unstable factor as gamblers.

"Don't worry, boss, I will complete the task within a week, maybe it won't take a week, with the temptation of vacation, everyone must be willing to work overtime." ”

After Xie Xin left, Zheng Yan tested the IM software by himself, and felt that the effect was really good, so he left the study with satisfaction, and until An Ran and the others came back in the evening, the smile on Zheng Yan's face never broke.

"Zheng Yan, what is it that makes you so happy? I don't know, I thought Sally was born. ”

If a person always has a smile on his face, maybe he is very happy, but the people around him will inevitably feel panicked, and Li Yanran feels this way.

Originally, Zheng Yan didn't think there was anything wrong, but after listening to Li Yanran's words, the smile on his face froze, and then he changed his smug expression and said: "The laboratory has finally produced some results today, and it won't be long before we have one more company with unlimited potential, do you think it's worth being happy?"

If you have to find a word to describe Zheng Yan at this moment, Li Yanran felt that the villain's ambition was more appropriate, and said disdainfully: "What do I think is the matter, are you very short of money? Since you are not short of money, what is there to be happy about?"

"That's it, Xiaoyan, we are not short of money, I don't care if the company is not a company, Sally is about to give birth, you can't go anywhere during this time, you must stay at home." ”

In Tang Qian's opinion, although Zheng Yan has been lazy in the past few years, it is better than running around. And Zheng Yan did plan to go to the United States, but now it seems that the plan can't catch up with the changes.
