353 Cross-border strikes
After Chen Xu entered the company, he saw that the employees were busy with their own things, and they were all very focused. It seems that Luo Xiyun is not there, and the company's operation is quite normal.
He walked around the company and was quite satisfied. Now, the first generation of VR glasses equipment is about to start production, and Luo Xiyun went abroad this time to customize the production line.
Luo Xiyun is ready to take the route of OEM, which is the general trend, just like mobile phone manufacturers, all major companies will hand over production to foundries.
Now, the OEM thing is being discussed, mainly because the products of Future Vision are very different from the VR equipment on the market, and there is no ready-made production line. You need to order, and in this regard, it is better to have a foreign background.
In fact, in addition to the problems of the production line, there are also various parts procurement, which need to be discussed one by one.
This is the trouble of engaging in entities, and when Yunxu Company becomes bigger, it will form a stable and healthy supply system, which will test the company's management level.
The biggest problem here is that there is no experience. Some time ago, Luo Xiyun recruited a few people from other companies to be responsible for the production of this piece. It's just that she didn't let go of it all, and she followed it herself.
Chen Xu can't help with these things for the time being, of course he understands the things of the production line, but he only understands the technical aspects. When the data center is built, he can help build an automated production line.
It's just that Luo Xiyun obviously can't wait for that time.
Now, all departments of the company have not been idle, and the promotion has not been left behind, advertising through various channels to enhance the popularity of products.
The software department is the busiest, in addition to improving the operating system of VR equipment, it also has to provide various technical support to independent VR game and VR film and television content companies.
This department is also the department with the largest number of people in the company, accounting for more than half of the total number of people in the company. Since its establishment, it has been continuously increasing the number of employees.
No way, in order to maximize the operation ability of the device under the current hardware conditions, Luo Xiyun came up with a new programming language at the beginning, and now, this language is called Roche language by people in the company.
There are two versions of Roche language, one in Chinese and one in English.
At present, most people in the company use the Chinese version, for the simple reason that it is easier to learn.
It's just a little lighter, and as a programming language, it has a very rigorous logic. If you want to master it, you need to learn some knowledge of logic. If you don't have any foundation at all, it's not so easy to get started.
In addition to the operating system using this language, the development of software, videos, games, etc. based on this environment is also used in this language.
Therefore, it is important to spread the language as soon as possible. The employees of these software departments are the seeds of the future.
Luo Xiyun has already made a plan, and when the sales of VR glasses have a certain foundation, he will encourage the employees of the software department to go out and start a business, let them make content, and provide some support.
…………
When Chen Xu thought of these things, he felt very troublesome. I can't help but feel a little sorry for Xiyun, she just wants to be an entity, and she is still engaged in high-tech, which involves too many links.
Yang Jinxia is too, even if he engages in flash memory particles, he still wants to make mobile phones. If you want to succeed, you have to work hard and never easy.
They are too ambitious. In comparison, he has more salted fish, and chooses the easiest path, pushing others to the foreground, hiding behind the scenes, and reaping the benefits.
"This machine is so hoisting."
Chen Xu came to the video company, and as soon as he walked in, he heard a somewhat excited voice, and he immediately recognized the owner of the voice, which was Director Wang of the animation project he knew through Chen Chao.
Director Wang looks very young, less than thirty, he is not from the background of studying animation, he entered this industry, all by his love for animation, he has participated in two popular animated films before, and he feels that he has accumulated enough, so he jumped out and became his own director. The project is none other than Jiro God.
The script is ready-made, and there are a lot of character shapes, scenes, and even sub-shots, which he has done in advance.
Seeing that he was so fully prepared, Luo Xiyun quickly finalized the plan for cooperation.
After signing the contract, Director Wang came over with his team and couldn't wait to start work.
Chen Xu saw a group of people gathered in front of a display screen, all of them were excited, stepped forward, and asked, "Director Wang, what's wrong?" ”
"Mr. Chen." Director Wang found out that he was coming, and asked expectantly, "Do you sell this machine?" ”
Chen Xu looked at the screen, this machine was made by him, and it was specially used to make special effects, games, movies, and animation special effects.
He shook his head and said, "You say this, I'm sorry, this is our company's independent research and development, at present, it is not for sale." ”
Director Wang was a little disappointed and sighed, "That's a pity." With this machine, the production cycle of animation can be greatly shortened at least. At this pace, I am sure that I will be able to make the film within a year. ”
He said, there are still some regrets, at present, the level of domestic special effects companies is still not high enough, coupled with insufficient funds, can only rely on time to grind slowly, and it is normal for an animated film to be done for several years.
If the production cycle can be shortened to one year, it is a great thing for animators.
"Your company's technology is really powerful." Director Wang also understood how difficult it was to do this, and then he asked with a little curiosity, "How much does it cost to get this set of equipment?" ”
Chen Xu didn't hide it from him, and said, "The investment in hardware alone will cost 20 million." ”
A single machine can't support the production of special effects, and in the back, there is a huge set of servers to provide computing support.
Director Wang was a little surprised, this number was much lower than he imagined.
Chen Xu continued, "As for the software, it's not easy to calculate. ”
Director Wang suddenly realized, indeed, the most critical thing in this is obviously the entire set of production software. He is not a person who has never seen the world, and he has also been to foreign special effects companies. Many of the large-scale professional software like this are developed by themselves, which are considered core technologies and will not be sold casually.
He said with some emotion, "I've heard people say before that it may not be your peers who beat you, but cross-borders. Now it's finally an insight. If your company changes careers to help people do special effects, it is estimated that a large number of domestic special effects companies will die. ”
Chen Xu smiled and said nothing, in this regard, the company does have relevant plans. At present, the domestic film industry is so profitable, how can he turn a blind eye.
