Snapdragon Software Company was established in a very hasty manner, and when Du Qiu and Chen Dayou left the capital, none of the six employees completed the resignation procedures, so they did not look for a formal office to rent an office at that time, but through Zhou Yuan's relationship, they rented an idle commercial house near the Asian Games Village at a friendly price as a temporary office location.

The house area is about 110 square meters, four bedrooms and one living room, after a simple decoration, there are cleaning aunts every day to clean, although the environment is a little simple, but quite tidy, living facilities are also readily available, six employees are all technical houses, as long as the computer and network equipment is fine, the rest do not care much, so the nest worked in it for two months, but there are no complaints.

On the morning of April 26, not long after 7 o'clock, Xiao Wu arrived at the office, and when he saw that no one else had come, he boiled water in an electric kettle to make himself a cup of instant coffee, and then turned on the computer, and while nibbling on the bread he bought on the way here, he checked his achievements in the past month or so: a database software that had not yet been completed.

Xiao Wu's name is Wu Fang, the homophonic meaning is very good, but the literal meaning is not good, and she happens to have a few little freckles on her face, so she hates this name very much, and she calls herself Xiao Wu when she interacts with people, and it becomes a habit over time.

Among the 6 employees of Snapdragon Software Company, Xiao Wu is the youngest one, who graduated from Beijing University in 91 years, and went to work in a state-owned bank after graduation, just in time to catch up with the trend of major domestic banks building data centers in the 90s.

Like Zhou Yuan, Xiao Wu was also optimistic about Du Qiu's potential before jumping ship, because although the bank's salary is not high, the benefits and bonuses are very generous, and the monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan cannot impress her, and Chen Dayou's favor also can't impress her, because she has been separated from this fat man for two terms, just a general friendship, and what impresses her is Du Qiu's ability and vision.

Xiao Wu is a native of Pengcheng, which is the most economically active special zone in China, his parents are working in the banking system, and he has been exposed to all kinds of financial and investment concepts, and after participating in the work, he often communicates with the technical staff of IBM or Oracle and other American IT companies, and hears a lot of entrepreneurial legends in Silicon Valley from them, and is very envious, so when Chen Dayou shows around with the iview browser, she sees the business opportunities at a glance, so she took the initiative to go to the hotel and have an interview with Du Qiu, and then she resolutely resigned and jumped ship without even notifying her parents。

Before Du Qiu went to the United States on March 24, he assigned a task to each employee, and the task content was very vague, just one sentence: write a software that you want to write, you can do anything.

After Xiao Wu completed the resignation procedures, she did not hesitate, and immediately decided to write a lightweight database software, she used Oracle when she worked in the bank, Oracle is powerful and rich in functions, but it is too bloated and too expensive, and it is not suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Unlike several other people in the company, Xiao Wu did not come into contact with the Internet in 1994, as early as 1992 when he was sent to the United States for training, he began to contact the Internet. Oracle and other giants are focusing on large enterprises, ignoring the existence of small and medium-sized enterprises, and small and medium-sized enterprises are the main force on the Internet.

Before starting, Xiao Wu used an email to consult Du Qiu in the United States, Du Qiu appreciated her vision and ideas, and sent a very long email back, providing a lot of novel and practical suggestions and ideas, which opened her eyes and greatly admired.

Today is the day when Du Qiu came to work for the first time in the company, and it is also the day to accept everyone's works, so Xiao Wu came to the office early to check his work results. However, the more she checked, the more panicked she became, before yesterday, she had always felt that her work in the past two months had been fruitful, both the programming efficiency and the quality of the code were much higher than when she worked in the bank before, but now when she checked again, she was a little weak and short-breathed, feeling that she was inefficient, and she had only completed less than a third of the content in two months, and the writing was messy and miserable.

Just when Xiao Wu felt sorry for himself, the security door outside opened, and Qin Mu, Zhou Yuan and Li Jianhua walked in together, greeted her when they saw her, and said, "Xiao Wu, it's so early today, didn't you always step on the dots to come to work before?"

"The big boss wants to check, do you dare to come early?"

Xiao Wu is the youngest employee, Li Jianhua is the oldest employee, and the only one who is moved by the salary, he is one year higher than Qin Mu, and he also works in the Founder Group, because he can't speak, and his temper is stubborn, so he is not treated by the leader, and after carrying the black pot a few times, he was thrown into an idle department to eat ashes, and he was sulking, so as soon as he heard that there was a job with a monthly salary of tens of thousands, he immediately ran over with Qin Mu.

Li Jianhua's ability is actually not very good, but he is studying something that Du Qiu attaches great importance to, so after the interview, he signed a contract on the spot - he is writing an intelligent pinyin input method.

In 1995, there are not many people or companies that attach importance to pinyin input method, most of them are studying Wubi or other input methods, because the efficiency of pinyin typing is too low, but as a crossing party, Du Qiu is very clear that pinyin input method is the future development trend, because the threshold is low, no need to memorize the root, as long as you understand pinyin will be used, very friendly to ordinary users; The combination of the two quickly stood out and became mainstream.

Input method is a necessary software in every Chinese computer, belongs to the battleground, in 2016, not only domestic IT giants are almost all involved, even Microsoft and Google and other foreign predators also do not let go of this field, because this thing is too important, into it can be used to pop up the box to send advertising to make money, back can use it to collect user information and usage habits, can be called a bladeless sword.

Du Qiu's laptop and smartphone have input methods, it can be said that they are used every day, but they have never paid attention to this technology, so when they meet a talent who knows how to write an input method, of course they will not let go, so they recruited Li Jianhua.

Li Jianhua has written a prototype of the input method when he served in the Founder Group, Du Qiu went to the United States and downloaded it to his computer for trial, although he does not understand the technology of the input method, but the experience is very rich, from time to time to send some e-mails on how to improve, so Li Jianhua's progress is relatively fast, and he also knows that Du Qiu is more satisfied with his work, his mind is very relaxed, poured a cup of tea, sat in front of the computer slowly, while surfing the Internet, while chatting with Zhou Yuan, who has no task pressure.

Qin Mu is the same as Xiao Wu, a little uneasy, he used to work in the research and development department of Founder Book Edition, Founder Book Edition is a set of book typesetting system for publishing houses, since the 80s has occupied a dominant position in the domestic publishing industry, very rich in functions, but not suitable for ordinary users to use, so he heard that Xiao Wu wanted to write a lightweight database software, but also moved his mind, decided to simplify the professional-level Founder Book Edition, write a word processing software for ordinary business users.

After Du Qiu heard about it, he also wrote a very long email back like Xiao Wu, and put forward a lot of opinions and suggestions, one of which is the most critical, that is, it is necessary to realize the "what you see is what you get" typesetting function.

In 1995, the domestic mainstream word processing software, such as Founder Book Edition and WPS, also used control character typesetting, such as to change the font, font size, or line spacing, word spacing, etc., you need to insert a variety of control symbols in front of the text, but no matter what control characters are inserted, the effect will not be displayed on the screen, and you have to use the print preview to see what it actually looks like, which is very troublesome.

"What you see is what you get" refers to what you see on the computer screen, what you print out, this concept was proposed by Xerox as early as the 70s, but it was not until the early 90s that it was really realized and popular abroad, and there were also attempts in this area within the Founder Group, but it was not successful, Qin Mu tossed for two months, only made a partial effect, and there were many bugs, so I was quite worried.

After more than ten minutes, the last two employees also came, these two graduated from Qingcheng University, one is called Xu Yongrui, the other is called He Lixing, and their personalities and styles are clearly different from Qin Mu and others, and the contrast is great.

Xu Yongrui used to work in a foreign company, resigned in 1994 to become a freelancer, there is a job to do, no work to play, life is very chic, he tinkered with a lot of things in two months, there are picture software, there are reading software, there are card games, there are board games, and even calculators and electronic alarm clocks and other gadgets, none of which are original, but those original things have been improved a lot.

He Lixing used to work in a research institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his temperament was the opposite of Xu Rui, and he only did one thing in the past two months, which was to write a driver for a graphics card in C language.

At about 8 o'clock, Du Qiu walked into the room with his beautiful female secretary.
