The next day, Jester arrived at the company, and the first thing he got was the news that made him extremely happy.

In the past, several artists in his company, with the help of a few programmers, finally made a drawing software that was extremely simple in Jester's eyes, but extremely advanced for the current artists.

The designer of this software was Carrey Cao, a young Chinese artist who designed the character of Sheriff Balotelli for Jester, whose grandfather was friends with Jester's grandfather, and he was also introduced by Jester's grandfather. For personal reasons, he likes to use drawing tools to draw on the computer, but because of the scarcity of the current computer color rendering, he encountered a lot of trouble in the creation and racked his brains, so he came up with the idea of why not make his own software for drawing.

As soon as his idea was proposed, it was instantly supported by many young artists in Mars Entertainment who shared the same hobbies.

And after learning the news, Jester also talked to these artists about his views on a special picture editing software, yes, Jester reversed the idea that these artists originally planned to make a drawing software to you want to make not only a drawing software, but also an image processing software.

Jester also talked a lot about his specific design ideas for this software, and even proposed many features that Cao Kairui and other artists did not think of.

Of course, this is all Jester is just reading from the PS script of the map-changing artifact he used in later generations.

These artists may let them draw the original drawing, and it is not a big problem to make the setting, but it is a bit difficult to ask them to write a program.

In fact, there are many coincidences in the appearance of PS in history.

If it weren't for the fact that the inventor of this software was not only proficient in programming, but also proficient in computer drawing, he would not have invented this software in order to complete his doctoral dissertation, and even so, if he had not had a younger brother who could understand the value of this software to help him promote it, then the final fate of this software would only be gradually forgotten, and it would not become the most important software in the computer graphics world in later generations.

It is precisely because of this that Jester will specially assign a few programmers who are also interested in this to help, and even allocate funds to accelerate research and development.

He knew how much the software would work for him when it came out.

It's fair to say that this is a software that has changed the world.

Jester came to a small R&D room in the R&D department, which he had set up specifically for Cao Kairui and others to develop this software, and Cao Kairui did not name the software they were developing, but only set up a code name to represent the project.

Truth be told, this project is not taken seriously by many people in the company other than Jester, even developers like Cao Kairui.

They just think that after the development of this software, it can make their work more efficient, and they don't think much about the rest, after all, this is just a picture processing software, and what this software can do, they can do with hand drawing.

Looking at Cao Kairui demonstrating this picture editing and drawing software that has just been released on the computer, which has not yet been officially named, the look of surprise in Jester's eyes flashed.

What he didn't expect was that the software that had just come out would be so complete.

You must know that when the real PS came out in history, it was only possible to adjust the grayscale of the picture.

And the software in front of him already has many of the features he said before.

It even includes Level,Color balance,Saturation and other functions,Basically,As long as the current hardware conditions can be completed in the program,In this software,It's all added,Jester carefully watched Cao Kairui use it for more than half an hour to operate,And then he was relieved。

In his eyes, this is a mature enough program to be commercialized.

"Do you guys have a name for this software?" So, after Cao Kairui's operation came to an end, Jester asked with a smile.

Cao Kairui closed the program first, and then shook his head: "Only the R&D code name 'Wu Daozi', which I gave it, but the official name is not yet available." ”

Then a strange look appeared on his face, and he asked Jester with some confusion: "BOSS, this is just a tool for our own use, there is no need to take any name, right?" ”

"Huh."

Jester smiled softly and squinted his eyes, he suddenly understood that Cao Kairui and the other inventors of this software did not have a clear vision to realize the true value of this software, but this was also exactly what he wanted, he didn't break it, just shook his head, denied Cao Kairui's previous statement, and then organized the words in his mind, and then said.

"Let's take a name, and then put this program into the technical reserve department, so that the company can apply for a patent on this software, and then I will see if I can sell this program, if the sales are good, I will take out ten percent of the total profit as a reward for our research and development team, of course, the specific distribution will be divided according to the amount of contribution to this software."

Jester's words also made Cao Kairui very happy, although he didn't think that this software would have much commercial prospects, but his BOSS said this, which was obviously a recognition of their efforts during this time.

But he didn't notice, or he didn't even pay attention to it, Jester's statement was that he would give 10% of his profits to 'our R&D group' instead of you, and apparently he included himself, and he was talking about the group, not the members, which was intriguing.

If the employees involved in this research and development are still in Mars Entertainment, then they will naturally get this part of the reward, if they leave in the future, no matter what the reason, then I'm sorry, you don't belong to the research and development team anymore, why should you be rewarded.

And according to the contribution of this program, the highest contribution must be Cao Kairui undoubtedly, because the research and development plan of this program was proposed by him, and he also participated in the research and development throughout the process, but the second place, if nothing else, then it must be Jester himself, because almost all the functions in this program are proposed by him.

If Cao Kairui can get 50% of the reward alone, then Jester can get 40%, and the rest of those who participate in the research and development can only share the remaining 10%.

But despite this, even if it is one percent, it will be a very rich reward in the future.

Jester knew how much business opportunity was hidden in this small piece of software in the computer in front of him.

It can even be said unceremoniously that it was this software that created the rise of Adobe.

At this time, Jester couldn't help but think, if there was no PS, would Adobe still be able to develop to that height in the future?

Jester only thought for a few seconds, then shook his head slightly, he couldn't think of it.

"Name? I want to think about it......" Cao Kairui also frowned and began to think about the name of this software, but he said a few things to himself, and he was vetoed by himself at the moment he just spoke.

Jester, who was a little impatient to listen to it, had so much time to think of names with him, and he still had a lot of things to deal with, for example, when he first came to the company, the receptionist at the front desk told him that the first draft of the novel version of "Dawn" had been sent, and he still needed to see if the first version of the novel could satisfy him.

So, Jester directly interrupted Cao Kairui's thinking.

"It's just a name, you still have to think about it so upside down, forget it, I'll reluctantly help you pick one." Jester said as he pretended to frown, then suddenly slapped his face and said in a surprised tone, "What do you think of the name Photoshop?" ”

Hearing this name, Cao Kairui's eyes lit up instantly, and he found that this name was so compatible with the software he designed.

He couldn't stop nodding his head and praised sincerely: "It's worthy of being a BOSS, this name is very good." ”

After speaking, he couldn't stop whispering the compound word Photoshop with a happy face, but after whispering it a few times, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Okay, that's it, you send the R&D log or something like this software to the technical reserve department, I still have some things, so I'll deal with it first." Jester stood up, said a few casual words, and was about to leave.

Cao Kairui nodded to indicate that he understood, and said that he would send the information of the software that had been named Photoshop by the afternoon.

Back in his office, Jester saw on his desk the original copy of the first edition of the novel "Dawn" that the receptionist had told him at the front desk.

The sealed bag has not been opened yet, and apparently no one else has seen it yet.

Jester called for a cup of coffee, then tore open the bag and pulled out a large stack of paper inside.

The company was looking for a young writer named Elvis to write a plot novel for the company's game, but he had only published a few science fiction novels that didn't sell well, and Jester had a cursory look at his works before, and he could only say that the text was plain, and there was no problem in expressing the plot, so he gave him this task.

He also promised to pay him $100,000 if his novel met the standards, plus a share of it.

However, Jester had only read seven or eight pages of the thick stack of novel manuscripts now, and the eyebrows on his forehead had been tightly wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and he had never relaxed.

It wasn't until he flipped through a dozen pages that Jester's face finally turned from normal to iron.

"Smack!"

Hearing only a snapping sound, Jester threw the manuscript directly to the ground, and the unbound manuscript paper instantly disintegrated in the air and scattered in all directions. And he slapped the table again, and the huge vibration sound made the hot coffee that had just been sent in and he hadn't drunk spilled on the table, staining a large piece of text.

Then Jester sorted out the coffee-stained texts with some chagrin, his eyes still staring at the original manuscript of the novel that he had discarded on the ground, and the more he thought about it, the more resentful he became.

His mouth was still cursing and cursing.

"Why the hell did I spend $100,000 to find someone to write such a piece of?"

PS: I'm not a title party.
