Gu Mojie did not bother to slap the faces of the pedants who hid in the ivory tower like vampires, doing everything possible to avoid the light of the market. What happened to Wu Tianyi at Dean Yang, he didn't know at all.

In the few days after reporting to Academician Qiu, Gu Mojie was busy for a while. Academician Qiu wants to go to his company to inspect and take a turn, which is the proper meaning of the question; After it was over, President Pan and Dean Cai also followed, walked around, and chatted with Gu Mojie about some big shortages such as "transformation of production, education and research integration achievements", and Gu Mojie had to deal with it.

In the end, even Dean Yang of the Law School went to talk to Gu Mojie a few times, and regardless of the other party's privacy, he inquired about Gu Mojie's recent situation. Gu Mojie's deliberate efforts to keep a low profile in the university finally came to naught. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: if the teachers knew what they were capable of, then they would know. As long as she remains a little more invisible in front of her classmates, she will be content.

After dealing with these mundane affairs, it will be the beginning of June in a blink of an eye, and there will be a final exam in more than half a month. Fortunately, Dean Yang has also been taken care of and bought by Gu Mojie, so there is no need for any teacher to trouble him for a long time.

Gu Mojie finally had time to settle down and digest the benefits brought to him by a series of events such as Academician Qiu's visit and Jeff Hinton's co-signed paper.

……

The day after Academician Qiu left Qiantang.

Hatsune Network Technology, after nearly two months, finally held another regular project meeting with the participation of the boss himself.

In software companies, regular project progress meetings are held every week, but that kind of regular progress meeting is enough to have the software manager preside over the meeting, or even the specific project team leader; Generally, the person in charge of the testing department will also be countersigned.

The boss personally attends the regular project meeting. It's not always possible. Unless there is a major change in the project plan, it will alarm the boss.

Today's meeting, chosen on a Saturday, was personally convened by Gu Mojie. The leaders of several software project teams, such as Zhu Haibo and Du Junqiang, are very attentive. Even Zhou Lixin, the "staff officer" of the outsourcing association, also pushed down the weekend overtime on Taobao to help his cousin check the gates; As for Lu Wenjun, the test leader and regarded as the future boss lady by several project managers. Attendance is also mandatory.

"It's been a hard work for everyone. I've been going on a lot of things at school lately, and I haven't paid much attention to the 'Hatsune Computer Manager' project until now. However, seeing that everyone's execution is not bad, and the progress of CLOSE has been in line with expectations, I would like to thank you for your contribution to the company. ”

Gu Mojie calmly expressed his affirmation to everyone, which seemed a little too mature and serious for his age, and after everyone's emotions were mobilized and motivated, he began to enter today's topic.

"For now. The combination of our products and Professor Jeff Hinton's project has attracted the attention of a series of scholars such as Academician Qiu, as well as the tilt of Qianjiang University's policy of in-depth integration of industry, education and research. All of this has obviously led to an explosive growth in the current market development speed of the Hatsune input method compared with the original expectations. So today, I think it's important for us to discuss whether to speed up the launch of the Hatsune PC Manager product that is under development, so that we can take advantage of the explosive growth of Hatsune Input Method. On this issue, you can speak freely today. ”

After Gu Mojie finished speaking, he nodded to his cousin Zhou Lixin, Zhou Lixin will know. Immediately take over the conversation and briefly introduce the current development situation of Hatsune input method and Hatsune translation in a few sentences. Lest programmers be disconnected from the market.

"In the last two months, the number of users of our competitor, Swift Network Technology's universal input method, has started to decline. At present, according to Baidu and Google's channel statistics, there are more than 10 million users of the original universal input method, who have chosen to uninstall the universal input method and use the Hatsune input method instead.

We currently have nearly 50 million users, and this period of rapid growth is expected to end in two to three months. So I thought after discussing it with Mr. Gu. Now is a good time to bring our second-tier product, Hatsune PC Manager, online as soon as possible. If this window period passes, after a large number of users download the Hatsune input method, the number of people who maintain the popularity of our brand will drop sharply. When the time comes, if you want to launch new software, even if it is a bundle download, the effect may not be good. Maybe you'll have to spend a huge amount of advertising money again. ”

After Gu Mojie and Zhou Lixin finished singing, the people on the market project side had no opinions, and the people in charge of the software department were all blushing.

It is said that the boss does not need to explain to his subordinates in such detail when making decisions. But Gu Mojie explained it so carefully today, and sang a double reed with Zhou Lixin.

The reason for this is nothing more than that he poses a big problem for the programmers in the software department.

Originally, it was said that there was no urgency in this matter, and there were still two months of development time; How can you suddenly ask the software behind you to speed up the launch and go online immediately because the previous product is now full of downloads and has a good window period? To engage in development, we must always pay attention to some objective laws!

Zhu Haibo was the first to hold back and questioned: "Mr. Gu, we all understand what you said about market considerations. But you also need to give time to the people who write the program. You're also a programmer, and I always thought you were different from those bosses who pat their heads to learn English. You can't ignore the reality - according to the original development plan, by August of August, Hatsune Computer Manager would not be up to the standard for launch. Even if we work overtime to the death, we can't get out. ”

Gu Mojie waved his hand and calmed the emotions of the programmers:

"I understand what you said, of course the original plan was correct, and I know that your work efficiency is already very good. However, the market is rapidly changing, and I could not have predicted in advance that Academician Qiu and Professor Jeff Hinton would give us a boost -- there are now 300 articles on science and technology channels promoting our technological advancement on major portals. It turned out that we had to pay for public relations fees before someone wrote an advertorial for us; Now we don't have to spend a penny to catch these cutting-edge hot spots. This kind of unimaginable good time, can we just watch it miss? ”

"But what can't be done is what can't be done! You can't do things without looking at the rules! Now it's too late to recruit temporary recruits and programmers, and it will take August to run through the software that was originally envisioned! Everyone of us who writes code works 15 hours a day, and it's too late for a week! ”

Zhu Haibo and Du Junqiang defended these words in unison, obviously because the code farmers were forced by the boss's oppression.

However, the idea of Hatsune Computer Butler, Gu Mojie does not have Hatsune Niang's plug-in to use, except for some automatic testing tools that improve the efficiency of programmers, the others rely on his programmers to build code little by little. Gu Mojie also has no way to help everyone improve efficiency.

Gu Mojie knew that he was too tough and forced everyone to be anxious, and he had a sense of helplessness that he had nowhere to go.

"Well, we respect the opinions of professionals and don't bring emotions to work – let's break down the problem step by step. Zhu Haibo, tell me, so far, the reason why our 'Hatsune Computer Manager' has not been able to be listed is because which part of the function has not yet been run? ”

Gu Mojie put on a posture of analyzing specific technical problems, and the programmers' emotions calmed down and began to work together to find problems.

"The biggest problem at the moment is that the compatibility of the cooperative download tools is relatively difficult to solve. So far, the company has not given us an approval letter, so that we will be compatible with those download tools as the primary goal in the future, so the stability problem cannot be tested at all. ”

"There is also the same for the retrieval and automatic identification of the driver library, there are too many materials that need to be done, and we don't have the hardware PID identification library of the optimization master, all rely on their own accumulation, the user's computer hardware is ever-changing, and in a few months, our coverage can't get up at all!"

Gu Mojie patiently listened to the words of a few programmers, looked at the notes in the notebook, and concluded:

"Very good, it seems that the main problem is compatibility and stress test stability - so well, let's change our goal and make a shorter version first.

We don't want to be compatible with most of the downloadable software on the market, we just focus on one: FLASHGET, as long as we can make sure that it can be called to and from the Internet Express. The problem of hardware driver recognition rate, since it can't be solved in a short period of time, let's cut this function first, and at present, we only focus on the resource indexing and download navigation of the 'installation necessary software' - if you save so many functions, how much time can you make it? ”

Zhu Haibo and the other coders were stunned by Gu Mojie's jumping thinking.

"Mr. Gu, you have always told us that the first value of the company is product quality. If you are in a hurry and launch a software with flawed performance and smash the company's goodwill, it is better not to rush this time. ”

"When did I say I don't want quality? I'm just saying that we can reduce some of the features on the initial version. As for the features to be kept, of course you have to guarantee the quality to me. Less but finer, the same is quality. ”

Zhu Haibo and Du Junqiang exchanged words and discussed, and offered Gu Mojie a price: "In this case, it can be launched at the end of this month." If you're sure. ”

Gu Mojie smiled triumphantly, "Of course I'm sure - but I'm asking you to add an extra little feature." In the future, our Hatsune PC Manager will have the ability to automatically detect the latest upgrades when connected. In other words, if we release a more complete version in the future, you should ensure that users who have installed Hatsune PC Manager can be automatically reminded to upgrade by a pop-up window, and it is best that after the customer clicks on the agreement, the one-click download and upgrade will be completed, so as not to make users feel troublesome. ”

This feature is not difficult, and the coders agreed after a little communication, and it will not increase the workload much anyway. (To be continued.) )
