Chapter 19 Picking up a creative director (about to sign A, rest assured to collect)
On Saturday, a few computers and chairs were moved, and Voice Intelligence quietly opened in the incubator, and many startups like Duke opened every month, and many of them disappeared quietly within a year, some because of the end of the office rent subsidy period, and some because of the closure.
The only one that shows a little bit of the new company's atmosphere is just a few congratulatory flower baskets at the door, most of which are bought by the three of Duke themselves, the only congratulatory flower basket from outsiders, unexpectedly from Gao Xiaolin's turtle-to-be husband, Mike didn't know how to find out the news of the company's opening, and politely sent a tall congratulatory flower basket.
"Caicai, what do you mean by Gao Xiaolin? Demonstrate? Jeer? There's no reason it's so boring, but if you want to say congratulations, we don't really have that friendship. Dong Feng looked at the flower basket thoughtfully and asked Cai Siqiang on the side.
"I don't know, whatever, it's also a popularity. As long as Duke doesn't care, Duke, what do you say? Cai Siqiang patted Duke on the shoulder and said. It's all over, what else do I have to care about, as the old saying goes, money is not everything, but there is no money but it can't, it's good to bury your head in making money in the future, and when your buddies have money, why worry about no grass. I really wanted to get a taste of what it's like to be a billionaire. Caicai, I can take care of the technical things, and the rest is up to you," Duke said with a smile.
A few days ago, the chance encounter and unpleasantness, he has left behind, the preview version of the Sala input method has been completed, the advertising engine and the online donation button have been injected into the program, and the restriction can only recognize Chinese, the English version needs to see the preview promotion situation, and now there is only one interface beautification work left before the release, but Duke is really not good at this aspect.
"I've done almost the same thing in terms of the program of the voice input method,Advertising display and donation buttons have been added,It's just that the interface is not beautified,Wait for lunch to eat,In the afternoon, let's discuss whether this work is outsourced or hire an artist。 Duke said.
"In that case, how about we deal with it in the hatchery cafeteria at noon, and celebrate together in the evening after finishing the business?" Cai Siqiang took out the CEO's vigorous and resolute actions, and Duke and Dong Feng naturally did not have any opinions.
Usually there are no good things in the canteen of the incubation garden, let alone on the weekend, fortunately, there are still some leftover pickled vegetables sold yesterday, Cai Siqiang They don't care whether it is expired or not, all varieties have come a little, they came early, there is no one in the canteen, these pickled vegetables are also a dazzling table, plus a few bottles of brave world, there is still a bit of excitement in the simplicity.
"Come, I wish our company a prosperous opening and a great fortune!" Duke raised the paper cup in his hand and said excitedly, although this company is said to be a partnership of four people, but Duke as the initiator and major shareholder, the company is like his own son, and now it is officially established, if you want to say who is not excited, Cai Siqiang and Dong Feng are also very excited, this company is not only Duke's business, but also their share, "Cheers!" The three of them raised their glasses at the same time and shouted, and then drank them all.
Today is the weekend, they came early, the huge canteen seemed empty, only in front of the left was a lonely young boy with long ear-length hair and a black shirt on the back, and there was a cardboard box next to the lonely back, which was facing away from Duke and Dong Feng, and the excited shouts of the three were particularly loud in the empty canteen, so that Cai Siqiang on the opposite side seemed to shake when he saw the back when the three of them shouted, and it seemed that he was a little dissatisfied with being disturbed.
"Hey, buddy, how about a drink? Our company is open today, let's come over and have a good time" Cai Siqiang didn't want to spoil the fun, so he simply greeted. Cai Siqiang was originally a friend from all over the world, although the wine and food were a little shabby at noon today, but the atmosphere was still good, since the big boy was alone, it was lively and not noisy to others, which happened to kill two birds with one stone.
The back figure turned his face to Cai Siqiang, and his delicate and beautiful face was full of a little anger, "Do I look manly?" This voice is surprisingly crisp, as if the yellow warbler is chirping on the branches, Cai Siqiang didn't expect it to be a girl, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed, fortunately, he has been wandering around the flowers for a long time, and he didn't recognize the wrong person once or twice, facing this beauty, "I'm really sorry, it's beautiful mm, I'm really sorry, I'll punish myself with a cup" Cai Siqiang stood up, raised his glass, and then said, "Can you invite the beauty to enjoy the light and move to celebrate together?" ”
If you want to deal with handsome guys, Cai Siqiang may not have much to do, but to deal with beauties, the love beast Cai Siqiang is worthy of his reputation, this glass of wine is delicious, the girl on the opposite side is a little entangled, today is also a gloomy day in her life, hesitated for a while, and finally stood up, picked up his food in one hand, and walked over with a large cardboard box in the other.
"Thank you for the beauty! My name is Cai Siqiang, the one on the left is called Duke, and the one on the right is called Dong Feng, all of them are my buddies, our company opened today, and I will celebrate here at noon. What do you call a beautiful woman, why do you still work overtime on weekends? Cai Siqiang happily took out a paper cup, poured wine and handed it to the young girl, while introducing. Thank you! My name is Master Song, and I didn't come here today to work overtime, but our company went bankrupt and was liquidated and dismissed today. Master Song said with a low expression.
When Cai Siqiang heard Master Song say this, the excited expression on his face couldn't help but freeze slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart for what kind of luck it was today. Before he could speak, Duke looked at the cardboard box that Master Song brought over with several exquisite cartoons on it, and couldn't help but light up in his eyes, and asked, "Beauty, please sit down, these cartoons are so beautiful, so cute, are they all your paintings?" ”
"Yes, I'm the artist at the Civic Animation Company that went out of business today." Master Song replied after sitting down next to Cai Siqiang.
"Oh, Miss Song, can I enjoy these works of yours?" Duke asked politely.
"Feel free to do so, the company is down anyway, and it's useless to keep these things." Master Song replied.
Duke put down the wine glass,Began to look at Master Song's comic works with great interest,I have to say that this Master Song is really good at drawing,Technical skills should be very deep,There are very Q exquisite character paintings inside,The proportions of the characters are very rich,Especially the heroine,Every expression is very cute,But it's very natural,There's no pretentiousness,The more Duke looks at it, the more I like it,I feel that this image is best used in the Sala input method., This very cute image is simply a tailor-made prototype for Sala.
Next to him, Cai Siqiang and Master Song had already made two glasses, and two red clouds had already flown on Master Song's face, adding a little more color, "Master Song, such a nice name, that is, a beautiful beauty like you is suitable for use," A series of sycophants were constantly sent out by Cai Siqiang, which made Master Song, who was still a little depressed, feel a lot more relaxed, plus the stimulation of alcohol, the two of them almost had a feeling of familiarity at first sight.
Duke raised his head after reading the comics and asked, "Your name is Miss Song, our company is just short of an artist right now, if you don't think our company is small, how about coming over and working together?" Our program interface needs to be beautified, we need to have a cute cartoon character representative, I think the style of your painting is very suitable for us to design this character, I don't know if you are interested in this work? ”
Master Song was talking happily with Cai Siqiang, and couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Duke's words, she was worried about work, and she didn't expect that pies would fall from the sky before she left the gate of the hatchery. It's just that she is completely unsure whether this company is reliable or not, and she doesn't even know what Duke is doing.
"I don't know what kind of business your company does?" Master Song asked with some hesitation.
Cai Siqiang was talking happily with Master Song, and was a little surprised to hear Duke directly invite Master Song to join, but since Duke had made a decision, of course he had to try his best to promote, hearing Master Song ask, he hurriedly said the company's affairs, and warmly invited Master Song to go up after dinner to visit the company's environment and observe and experience the company's voice input products.
Cai Siqiang is eloquent, and in a few minutes, he has fooled Master Song into believing that the company is a promising star company. Of course, the voice input method developed by Duke is indeed very powerful.
Regardless of whether Master Song believes it or not, he has a very good job opportunity just after being unemployed, although he has not witnessed the magical software described by Cai Siqiang, but Master Song already has a feeling of negation in his heart, so although this meal is a little simpler, it still has a warm atmosphere.
After eating, Master Song went to the office to personally try out the voice input method software developed by Duke, although she didn't know anything about this industry, but in the face of such a powerful voice input method, Master Song was shocked, and immediately agreed to join the requirements, became the company's first official employee, and immediately put into work, and Duke began to design the cartoon image of the software together.
In the afternoon, the new creative director Song Shishi took office at the request of Duke, and the company has this advantage from a young age. It is truly called to come, and to be able to fight.
Don't look at Song Shishi's youth, he is still less than twenty-two years old, and he only graduated from his bachelor's degree this summer, but he has been painting since elementary school, and it has been seventeen or eighteen years now, and his hand-drawing skills are very solid, and he drew the prototype almost soon after Duke said what he had in mind.
Therefore, through an afternoon of work, Master Song completed the cartoon image of Sala and the interface art design of the software,Looking at the new interface of Sala's input method,Duke has an unbelievable feeling,This efficiency is really unbelievable,Duke according to the cartoon designed by Master Song,Let the program have a different tone of voice to display Miss Sala's cute joy, anger and sorrow animation function,Make the originally sluggish application interface immediately vivid。
"Okay, teacher, let's do it, I have a feeling that our product will be very popular after it is launched. In the future, this cartoon image of Miss Sala alone will be able to sell a lot of peripheral products. From now on, you'll be the creative director of our product UI. Duke said happily.
Cai Siqiang on the side couldn't help but sigh and said: "Duke, when my brother saw your programming level today, he realized how wise it is not to eat the bowl of programming. He watched from the side for a long time, although it was a little surprising that Master Song was holding a mouse and making a wonderful pen, but after watching Duke move his fingers out and type out almost completely error-free code (occasional mistakes are deliberately caused), Cai Siqiang and Dong Feng were completely shocked, in their eyes, Duke is definitely a terrible programming machine.
With the assistance of Master Song, the preview version of Sala's voice input method was born ahead of schedule and uploaded to major download websites in China, and Duke also announced the download URL in the hot post he created. An era of voice input has finally begun.
