Chapter 16 Bonuses
Liang Hu registered in addition to "Tiger" This name, there are only the above two contact information, through guò to check the place of ownership of the phone number, Angel knows that Liang Hu is a person from the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, in order to accommodate Liang Hu's work and rest time, Angel had to use the most primitive method, that is, to stay up late every day to make a phone call every few hours, but tonight she really couldn't stay up and fell asleep, and when she suddenly woke up in the early morning, she was startled, lest she miss the opportunity to contact, but this first phone call successfully contacted Liang Hu to make her feel good, and it is not surprising that she was excited at the beginning。
Liang Hu smiled and flattered Ms. Angel, and also promised to have the opportunity to invite her to taste the food of the Celestial Empire in the future, Ms. Angel also remembered that she still had something to do, so she adjusted her tone and said in a more formal tone: "Mr. Tiger, on behalf of Google, I would like to inform you that your work COOL in the Programming Challenge has won the third place in our company's assessment, with a prize of 10,000 US dollars. Handling fees or travel expenses will be borne by our company. ”
"Oh, 10,000 US dollars? It's about 80,000 RMB, which should give me three more months, right?" Liang Hu listened to Anqi's narration while secretly converting in his heart, he was quite satisfied with this result, after all, he didn't expect to become a rich man directly when he participated in the programming challenge at the beginning, it was nothing more than a step of idle chess, and now he has paid a few days to bring back the income equivalent to most of his own half a year, and the other party is also willing to bear the handling fee paid for cross-border transfers, Liang Hu of course has no objection.
It's just that Liang Hu didn't know that his search engine named "cool" caused an uproar in Google, after all, although this software is small, but it integrates ideas and ideas from later generations, Google's chief technology officer can naturally see its meaning, for this software he even had a big quarrel with the company's CEO in public at the meeting, in his description it is: " Although this little program of Tiger is very rough, it has brought us infinite reverie, from the moment it appeared on the Internet, announcing that the world of traditional writing is far away from us, and a new era of graphics and texts has arrived!"
However, Google is a legitimate multinational company, and in the end, the CEO convinced his technical director that he should not affect the company's operation because of his personal preferences, citing the company's pre-competition scoring rules. However, the CEO also admired Liang Hu's talent personally, and he promised to have his assistant contact Liang Hu as much as possible to try to recruit the maker of the "COOL" software into the company's hosting of the porting and expansion of the graphic search engine, which is why Angel went so hard to promote such a thing as notifying the winners of the award.
Generally speaking, when a team collaborates, there are strict regulations on the definition of variables, the syntax of various codes, the structure of the program framework, etc., and the larger the number of members of the cooperation, the more demanding the requirements in this regard, otherwise everyone writes code according to their own wishes and habits, and it is not messy, and there must be countless bugs and code conflicts in the program when it comes to the summary.
Of course, Liang Hu will not consider these things when he completes it independently, and he is in the professional habit of hackers, and he also carried out a third compilation before the final upload, compressing the volume of the entire program means that every line of code in it is streamlined, as long as he can understand it, he doesn't have to think about future maintenance, so in the program readability, standardization, Liang Hu's work still ranked third in the final score of Liang Hu's work, which shows how powerful his program is that of less than 50 lines.
Seeing that the foreshadowing in front of him was almost the same, Anqi on the other side of the phone slowly guided the topic to the recruitment side: "Tiger, next our company will port each award-winning search engine to the server, so that the software and hardware can be the best fit, and then we will conduct a second round of screening of the ten programs that have been ported, and finally decide which engine the company will use to develop new products." Would you be interested in hosting this porting of the code in our company? We are willing to pay you a salary that matches this position. ”
"No, I don't think I have time. Liang Hu refused without even thinking about it, but as the compiler of the program, he naturally would not just ignore it, which violated Liang Hu's code of conduct, so he opened his mouth and said a compromise solution: "The email address I left last time, if you have any questions, you can email me." I'm not bothering about it at home at this time, but I'm going to buy a new computer tomorrow and we'll be in touch online. ”
Over the next few days, Liang Hu got busy again, and by the end of the week, he was sitting in his newly rented house, logging into the Internet with his newly bought laptop, and opening the email address he had left for Google, which was flooded with a large number of emails, but most of them were junk letters. Liang Hu searched for it, and soon found an email from Google, he replied to the other party with an email, saying that he used this email again, and sent his bank card account number in the email, asking the other party to transfer the bonus of 10,000 US dollars.
After finishing these mundane things, Liang Hu put his mind on his own cultivation again, Bajiquan is just a means to hide people's ears, although it is indeed very consistent with Liang Hu's "Quenching Jade Formula" effect, but it is also necessary to prepare some talismans and magic weapons that can be used during the Qi refining period in case of emergency. At present, among the talismans that Liang Hu has mastered, the "Cool Talisman" of the water system belongs to the auxiliary type, and the "puppet talisman" of the earth system is the defensive type, and they have not improved the fact that Liang Hu now lacks offensive means, so the most important thing for Liang Hu at present is to make up for this defect of his own.
Speaking of attack, the fire system of Jiao Yan Fu and Fire Snake Talisman are very good, but it is a pity that Liang Hu has no way to develop in this area after taking the "Quenching Jade Formula" as a natal method, but there is no shortage of such spells and talismans in the gold and water systems, such as the "Golden Light Talisman" that shows the means of the immortals.
The "Golden Light Talisman" is also known as the Flying Sword Talisman, this golden talisman can be said to be something that every monk dreams of in the later stage of Qi refining, and it can summon a flying sword to hurt people in the air after activation, and it is definitely a must-have talisman for home travel and killing. Originally, with Liang Hu's current strength, it was quite reluctant to draw such a talisman, but after practicing the "Quenching Jade Formula" as a natal method, Liang Hu's Five Elements Spiritual Root would gradually deflect towards the golden spiritual root, and with such a change, when he made the "Golden Light Talisman" that was also a gold system, there was some hope of success.
In addition, Liang Hu is also ready to draw a few "Lux Talismans", this kind of talisman can greatly enhance the user's strength, its effect can be superimposed with the strength of the "Quenching Jade Jue", and the unexpected use of hand-to-hand combat can definitely have the effect of a miracle soldier.
As for the water and earth talismans, Liang Hu put the "ghost face talisman" in a priority position, with this talisman that can turn into a mask to cover his appearance in a short period of time, and slightly change his body, in case he has to show his immortal ability in front of others, at least the chance of revealing his true identity is greatly reduced.
Liang Hu still wants to prepare more hole cards, but when he carefully calculated an account and immediately gave up this idea, now the price of jade is gradually rising, has been several times more valuable than the same volume of gold, the little cash in his hand is a lot of wealth for ordinary people, but in any case can not withstand such consumption, but it is a pity that Google's bonus is still a little less, it seems that he has been busy with the recent period of time, or to find a way to continue to make money.
On the second day, Liang Hu packed up his belongings, packed up all his savings, and headed towards the Sanyang Street Antique Market. It's a mixed bag, and your eyesight is lucky enough to pick up the leaks and make a fortune, but once you look away and buy back the fake, you can only end up bankrupt.
Liang Hu walked along the street, turning around one by one, drawing "golden light talismans", which required gold jade as raw materials, such as Tianhuang stone, Huqing stone, and lapis lazuli were all very good choices, but Liang Hu soon found that the budget he had made last night was probably going to be invalidated, because the price of every suitable jade he saw was staggering.
For example, a piece of Tianhuangshi seal weighing about dozens of grams, which is half the size of a palm in your hand, actually shouted a sky-high price of 350,000 yuan, which is not many times more expensive than the same volume of gold. This is only the price of a slightly polished rough stone, and if it is a well-carved jade, the price will have to be doubled at least a few times.
Liang Hu's funds were limited, so he had no choice but to give up for this jade above the volume, and he wandered around the Sanyang Street antique market to see if he could choose a piece of material and size suitable for his own use, and the price was acceptable. In addition, Liang Hu began to hesitate in his heart whether to change the raw materials to Haoshi or amber, but the price of these two kinds of jade is not cheap, and the power of the talisman to make zuò is also weakened by a few points, unless there is really no way, Liang Hu will never do this.
Walking around, Liang Hu came to the door of a jade shop called "Ya Yu Xuan", and saw that the layout inside was very plain and elegant, unlike many other shops, so Liang Hu walked in.
