Chapter 36 Cottage Sala (There is a change in the evening, ask for collection)

R&D work is in full swing, the market is not idle, the new recruitment of 7 sales representatives, 5 people have been dispersed, to the major PC manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers to promote the built-in Sala input method, after all, you can't expect every manufacturer to have Gemdale boss so keen touch, now with Gemdale this real case, after simple technical training of the sales representatives are full of confidence. Now the number of Sala input method downloads on the network has exceeded 30 million,And from the perspective of advertising effect monitoring,The frequency of use of these download copies is very high,Now the advertising revenue of Sala input method has rapidly reached a monthly income of one million yuan,And it is still growing,For SAL company,Even if you put aside the two big orders of Gemdale and Shengda,The company now relies on advertising revenue to basically break even,Inadvertently, SAL has also set a record for the fastest profitability of a start-up in the park.

On this day, Dong Feng just arrived at the office, "Boss, you take a look, this is a new voice recognition input method that came out yesterday, called CoolVoice, I downloaded and tried it, the effect is amazing, almost on par with our Sala." It's really strange that this company called Cool Technology is still in our park. Zhao Chongyang, who monitors the company's product downloads and competitors' dynamics in the marketing department, immediately reported this important discovery as soon as Dong Feng came.

"Oh, you pass me that program" Dong Feng chuckled in his heart, unexpectedly a few days later, a strong competitor appeared. Soon Dong Feng got CoolVoice, installation, trial, and operation are basically the same as Sala, except for the different interfaces, the response speed and recognition accuracy of voice recognition are exactly the same as the company's products, just like the sister version of Sala. Dong Feng couldn't sit still, this situation is too serious, although Sala already has a first-mover advantage, but if the quality of competitors' products can be comparable, then the future competition pattern faced by SAL companies will be completely different, CoolVoice is now playing a gimmick of free and no ads, completely targeting Sala to seize the market.

"Duke, Caicai, Brother Wu, let's have a meeting in the conference room to discuss, there is a new situation that everyone needs to discuss." Dong Feng took his laptop and called Duke and the other three to the conference room.

"You see, this program is almost exactly the same as the function and performance of our company's Sala input method." Dong Feng opened the CoolVoice program and tried to say a few words, and the program accurately restored his words into text. "This program is so strange, Cool Technology has never had any products come out, and now this software is suddenly launched, I suspect there is a problem, but I can't find what the problem is?"

When Cai Siqiang and Zhao Jianwu heard this, their faces suddenly changed, now SAL can rely entirely on this voice recognition product, if there is a competing product with the same function and performance, this thing is really too bad. They didn't dare to expect Duke to develop a more powerful new product.

"Show me the computer." Of the three, Duke is the only one who remains at peace, and his hole cards have not yet been fully played, so it doesn't matter if there is a product that is comparable to Sala.

Dong Feng handed the computer to Duke, Duke opened the installation folder of the program, found the dll file, looked through it for a while, Duke smiled and said, "This thing is a copycat product, completely plagiarized from us, and the dynamic link library is exactly the same." Wait a minute, I'll send it to my development machine to verify it for you to see," Duke said, transferring the program to his own development laptop, and then went out to his office to get the computer.

Cai Siqiang and others listened to Duke's words, and after the vigilance was lifted, they were already in their minds at the moment, so they easily waited for Duke's proof, just watched Duke fly his fingers on the computer, and after a while, he made up a small program, which called the dynamic link library in CoolVoice, and after running, Sala, a cute cartoon girl, recited a Tang poem in a very cute voice, there is no doubt that this is Duke's bad taste, and he hid an "easter egg" in the Sala input method SDK, This can be called by means of special parameters.

"Hehe, Duke, you're too funny" Cai Siqiang had never heard such a cute voice, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Jianwu on the side obviously thought of another aspect, "Duke, are you also proficient in speech synthesis?" He asked, somewhat surprised. As the director of the development department, Zhao Jianwu is not only responsible for the current project progress, but also for the company's next development to find a direction, although most of the responsibility of this job is on Duke's CTO, but as the company's technical executive, of course, he is also duty-bound, at this moment keenly found that Duke still has good things to come out, can't help but be surprised and happy.

"Well, it's okay, it's just how to integrate with the app, I haven't come up with any good ideas yet." Duke said vaguely. At present, the development of SAL is too fast, the foundation is too shallow, and the product range is too large, after all, he can't do everything, and now he is already very rebellious.

"Okay, with the two core technologies of speech recognition and speech synthesis, there is hope for us to enter the field of car navigation, hehe, Duke, you are really a treasure all over your body, which is exciting" Zhao Jianwu's previous words were normal, but the last sentence made Duke feel a little cold.

"Yes, yes, Duke, don't be afraid that my brother will not be able to bear it, if there is something good to smash out, if this continues, I don't think one day SAL will not be able to make China Apple!" Cai Siqiang listened to the conversation between Zhao Jianwu and Duke, his eyes flashed with gold stars, and countless yuan and dollars flying, although the car navigation is now a trend of being rotten, but if you can launch a navigation product with precise voice control and voice synthesis, it is obvious that the gap with the current navigation products in technology is not a star and a half.

"Stop, now let's discuss this CoolVoice problem first, what should we do to avoid losses? Caicai, you have always had a lot of ghost ideas in this regard, and it would be perfect if you could take the opportunity to make some benefits. Dong Feng saw that everyone had deviated from the process, and quickly interrupted. While this Coolvoice is still in its infancy, it is only right to deal with it quickly, otherwise it will spread widely, and this risk will be difficult to predict.

PS: If nothing else, there will be a change at about nine o'clock in the evening, so stay tuned, for the sake of Xiaofei being so diligent, let's collect it, thank you
