When Xia Ming took Xiao Huan to the new office of Cicada Movement, Li Diluo and the others were stunned.

The employee was shocked by Xiao Huan, with a cute mushroom head and a delicate face, although she was wearing a pair of big sunglasses and couldn't see her eyebrows clearly, but as soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention, and subconsciously felt that this girl must be a star.

Li Diluo was thinking about the relationship between the two, rubbing his chin and winking at Xia Ming, that means why did you hook up with Xiao Huan?

Xia Ming glanced at him, feeling that it was difficult to explain, so he simply didn't explain. He handed over another puzzled look, the girl in OL costume next to Li Diluo was Gu Mingli, didn't she quit?

"Xiao Huan?"

"Sister Gu?"

The two girls were a little surprised, seeing that Xia Ming was looking at the office, Xiao Huan was very sensible and didn't speak again, Gu Mingli looked at Xiao Huan and Xia Ming with a complicated expression, and was silent.

The new office is the former office of Mengzhen Company, which is more than 400 square meters, spacious and bright. After the cicada moved over, Li Diluo used the excuse that he might move again in half a year, and he used it on the same day, and the decoration was not changed. Of course, the real reason is probably that the original decoration is very stylish, Li Diluo has been satisfied, and he has a separate general manager's office.

After moving here for more than half a month, Li Diluo has been busy recruiting people, and only now has he stuffed in about 20. In addition to the finance, administration and marketing departments, there are only three business groups, one is the support group of the Prometheus developer version, and the other is the R&D group of the free version.

This is Xia Ming's second time in the office, and there were few people when he first came, and this is the first official meeting with the employees of Cicada.

Li Diluo introduced the backbone of the company to Xia Ming: "This is Ouyang Xingyu, the leader of Google's support group, who I have worked hard to dig from the advisory group, a top student of Shuchuan University of Science and Technology. This is Huang Wei, the leader of the free version development team, who has just graduated from Northern University of Science and Technology. Hu Shanhai, the leader of the development group, is responsible for the research and development of other Prometheus products. ”

"Hello chairman!"

"Hello Xia Dong!"

"Xia is always good!"

Xia Ming is younger than some team leaders, wearing casual clothes, and he doesn't look like the chairman of the company. But Xia Ming took the cicada to wrestle with the domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and finally threw the pot to Google to get out beautifully, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the company, this is not an ordinary boss, but a person who has stirred up the storm, everyone has greeted him, but the title is very confusing.

"Just call me Mr. Xia, the same as Mr. Li."

Xia Ming responded very casually, after all, the cicada movement was pulled by Li Diluo single-handedly, he would not ask about the specific business details, and Li Diluo's authority had to be maintained. Look at this guy's words and deeds now, he also has some leadership appearance, and the momentum is good.

"This is my assistant business ......"

He introduced Xiao Huan to everyone, and received an ambiguous look from Li Diluo.

Although I don't ask about the details of the operation, in the future plan, Cicada will always be the cash bank of the research institute, and most of the new consumer-facing technologies will also be handed over to Cicada to do the market. Therefore, Xia Ming, the chairman, always has to cheer up the employees, which is also Li Diluo's request before he came.

"Thank you very much for joining Cicada, you also know that Cicada was founded at the beginning of the hornet's nest, for ordinary people, this is a prospect is still buried in the clouds, very unreliable company......"

Xia Ming's opening sentence caused everyone to chuckle, Prometheus not only stabbed the hornet's nest, but also stabbed the chrysanthemum of the entire mobile phone and mobile application industry.

"Cicada is a company with ideals, and this ideal is non-mainstream, and it is destined to keep poking the hornet's nest. I also believe that everyone joins the cicada movement to realize such an ideal. ”

Then everyone nodded, and when they entered the company, Li Diluo talked to each of them in detail about the ideal of cicada, and they were very shocked. Although I came in for a short time and had a shallow experience in actual work, I had never seen a company with such a banner.

Among the three team leaders, Ouyang Xingyu has experience working in large companies, and he said with emotion: "The slogans of other companies are to treat users as fools, but we are letting users be experts, which is really non-mainstream." ”

Xia Ming nodded and said: "Not everyone is willing to be a fool, the other side of humanization, black box and intelligence is the enslavement of people by technology, of course, it is essentially the enslavement of people by capital." This is a world where capital is supreme, and we are fighting against the whole world. But we are not alone, our users are our comrades, our comrades-in-arms. ”

Everyone's expressions became serious, and Xiao Huan said on the chat: "Is it time to open the altar and incense next?" ”

Xia Ming smiled, there is really no need to say so deeply now, he turned back to the conversation and said: "Everyone can rest assured, this is not a revolution, and we will not ask everyone to only talk about pay and not return, at least our salary level is also considered to be above the middle in Yandu......"

The employees also laughed, putting aside the ideals, the salary of the cicada is good. What's even more appealing is that Cicada is a start-up that sells everything full of dry goods. There used to be Prometheus, and now there is that kind of magical expansion card, which is said to be just a precursor to more magical technology.

Xia Ming announced the company's expansion plan: "The development of cicada movement will be very fast, to the extent that it is a pit and others. Today, the company's business unit is divided into two divisions, one for Prometheus and one for the expansion cards being tested. ”

Suddenly expanded from the business group to the business department, which is equivalent to several more middle levels. The three team leaders looked at each other, and there was a faint taste of competing for the boss of the business department.

Some employees digressed: "Mr. Xia, what should be the name of that expansion card, it should not be called an expansion card." ”

I haven't really thought about this......

Xia Ming maintained a calm appearance with a face that was not red and his heart was not beating, and threw the pot out: "Everyone is here, let's brainstorm." ”

The atmosphere has become more enthusiastic, and the business group is either a code farmer or an otaku, many of them are military nerds, and after arguing for a while, they have finalized a very earthy name: Galika.

The meaning of the name is that the expansion card is like a fighter jet with afterburner, which makes the computer's performance skyrocket. Although the Chinese name is a turtle, the English of Afterburner-card is very compulsive. Some graphics card manufacturers have used it in the driver management program before, but the thing is different, and it is not an infringement.

Xia Ming and Li Diluo entered the office to discuss things, and Xiao Huan and Gu Mingli hid in the conference room and chatted.

Gu Mingli's words were full of sourness: "I finally got an assistant to the general manager in Li Diluo's place, and you suddenly became an assistant to the chairman." I really can't think of it, how did you get Xia Ming? ”

Xiao Huan said humbly: "I'm not the assistant to the chairman, I'm the assistant researcher." That day, I went to the research institute to tell him about his resignation, and he arrested him and has been busy until now. ”

As she spoke, she sent a message to Xia Ming on Shen Chat: "Fortunately, you told me what to say, I was really asked." ”

"Hey, the fool has the blessing ......"

After getting along for a while before, Xiao Huan was a shy person with no heart on the inside, but Gu Mingli believed it seven or eight points.

"What about you? Didn't it say ...... day"

"Me? Haha, isn't there no one here, Li Diluo begged again and again, and I had to reluctantly come over to help him. Yo, I've become a big man, but I don't take off my glasses? ”

When asked about herself, Gu Mingli's answer was quite unnatural, and she immediately changed the topic.

"Something is wrong with my eyes, and I have to wear therapeutic glasses for a while."

Xiao Huan continued to answer according to Xia Ming's instructions, her sunglasses were modified with Google glasses, and there were two very inconspicuous cameras on the left and right sides of the lenses.

Wearing this "electronic prosthetic eye", Xiao Huan finally has vision. Although I still have to carry Qianyan MINI in my bag, and I have to wear sunglasses all the time to prevent people from seeing anything unusual, I can finally travel.

This is just Xia Ming's idea, don't look at Xiao Huan's naïve, don't fool people to sneak away.

But on the other hand, she is still quite realistic, and she said in the conversation: "I feel that Gu Mingli is not quite right." ”

In the chairman's office, Xia Ming said this.

Li Diluo was a little embarrassed: "I was too busy when I first moved, and she came back to help, and then we ...... I've just watched a movie or something, what, what do you think is wrong with her? ”

Xia Ming thought about it, felt that he was a little sensitive, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that you will do that again?" Your vision of looking for a girl is unbelievable. ”

"Don't worry about this, I'll see it and make another move, it's not that step yet. If it really comes to that point, I won't let her continue to stay in the cicada", Li Diluo quickly clarified.

Hearing him say this, Xia Ming stopped mentioning it, but Li Diluo didn't let him go: "That little Huan ......"

Xia Ming told the truth: "She helped me take care of some things in the research institute, not what you think, I have a girlfriend, you will see you in a while." Okay, let's talk about work. ”

Li Diluo was still poor: "It's nothing, when you say this, you always feel a kind of base, good, say work!" ”

His face changed, and he said solemnly: "The small-scale public test has ended, except for a few games that have some compatibility details, and overall there is no problem." The crowdfunding goal has also been successfully achieved, receiving more than 1,300 reservations for the regular version, more than 200 reservations for the commemorative version, and 1.1 million cash in hand. The pre-ordered Galika promises to be shipped at the end of December, and there is still more than half a month, is it too late? ”

Xia Ming nodded: "It only takes two or three days to modify, and then place the first batch of 10,000 sets of orders, the manufacturer's side is my senior brother looking for Yanda's subordinate board factory, there is no problem in time, you have to prepare a promotion plan immediately." ”

Li Diluo frowned: "Then there is only one problem left, Intel ......"

Although Xia Ming said that he should not think about it, he was still troubled by this matter: "How soon will there be a reaction, what will be the reaction?" ”

This issue has been discussed in depth on the cactus website, and the consensus speculation is that Galika is only aimed at the DIY market, there are not many potential users, and the impact on Intel is not so direct. Intel shouldn't be like a walnut phone, jumping out to help cicadas move propaganda. Of course, if the impact is too great, Intel will not only make a fuss on the official website and Weibo like Walnut mobile phones, but through various means, beat the afterburner to death with a stick.

Speculation is just speculation after all, when Prometheus was first listed, it also thought that it was only for a niche market and would not cause major trouble, but the result?

So the final conclusion is that without a conclusion, no one knows how Intel will react.

Li Diluo said hatefully: "Prometheus, we have stopped, if we stop again this time, we are really unwilling!" ”

This mentality made Xia Ming very pleased, but he felt that it was better not to tell Li Diluo first, this guy could almost be trusted to do things, but that mouth still couldn't be trusted.

Xia Ming encouraged: "We won't retreat this time, but I'll take care of this matter, you just think about it, how to make a big news." ”
