Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 213 Office Software Completion
"Start to enter the hotel's daily revenue, and count the revenue data for the entire month."

"Deduct all expenses, calculate the profit of the month, and the average daily profit."

In an extremely simple office software, with the entry of relevant data, the desired relevant results are quickly calculated.

On the other side, the artificial team that specially hired accountants for comparative statistics is still in the process of calculation.

"I declare that the development of office software has been successful!"

Lin Baicheng clapped his hands and announced loudly.For verification, this is not the first time a similar comparison has been made. The data processing function of office software is more convenient and faster than manual work.

"Great!" "YES!" "Aww~~".
The R&D personnel such as Aiden Sherland and Peter Roslin cheered loudly. After several months of hard work, the goal is considered to be accomplished, and the results have appeared.

This office software is actually very simple, with only three main functions, namely word processing, data processing and database.This is also impossible. After all, it is 1978, and functions such as image processing and video processing cannot be realized at all.

Word processing is mainly used for text editing, typesetting and proofreading, etc. It allows office workers to quickly and easily organize various needs, improve office quality and office efficiency, and realize paperless office.

The main function of data processing is to process all kinds of data. The typical representative is the spreadsheet. The data of various industries can be calculated through the spreadsheet. It is not only efficient, but also accurate and error-free.

The database is a place for storing data. The amount of data that can be stored in the database is related to the memory of the computer, and the retained data is convenient for viewing at any time.

Isabella clapped her hands and said, "BOSS has decided to hold a celebration party at the company at night, and everyone must be present. Let's have fun then."

"Wow!!"

There was a howl of ghosts and wolves in the office.

All kinds of parties are already a kind of culture in the United States, so when Isabella asked Lin Baicheng for instructions to hold a celebration party, Lin Baicheng did not object.Since you want to make money in this country, you have to fit in, not out of place.

The company's office software has been developed, but for the company, this is only the first step, and the next step is to sell the software.It doesn't matter how good the software is if it doesn't bring profits to the company.

However, the software has just been developed today, and there will be a celebration party tonight, so now is not the time to discuss this.

Those who attended the celebration party that night were all employees of New Century Software.

Lin Baicheng also participated. Except for a few female employees, New Century Software Company is all men, so some models were specially invited to come tonight.These models are just here to drink and play, but if the employees have the ability to take the models back to spend the night, the company will not care.

The next day, a meeting was held to discuss how to sell office software.

Regarding sales, Lin Baicheng and Isabella already had an idea, and the discussion at the meeting was just to convey their ideas and let the management know.After all, it's the company's management, so it's impossible for them to be ignorant of this kind of thing.

Office software is applied on computers, but in this era, the personal computer market has just started, and mainframe computers are the mainstream.

Those who happen to buy large computers are usually official administrative departments, banks, hospitals, schools, large enterprises, etc. These institutions purchase computers for office use, so office software can be sold to these units and enterprises in a targeted manner.

Of course, the PC market cannot be given up either. Those who can afford PCs these days are wealthy families, so most of them also have office needs and are also potential customers.

After the sales meeting was over, Lin Baicheng called Aiden Sherland and Peter Roslin into the office.Although Aiden Sherland is the director of the R&D department, Peter Roslin's ability is also very good, so of course Peter Roslyn must be brought with him for software development.

"Eiden, Peter."

Looking at the two, Lin Baicheng said: "Now that the office software has been developed, the task of your software R&D department in the future, in addition to upgrading the existing office software and in-depth research and development of more functions, is to develop other new software. "

After hearing this, Aiden Sherland asked, "Boss, do you have any ideas about the direction of new software development?"

"It already exists, that is, the database function of the office software."

Lin Baicheng nodded. He had already had an idea about this, and said it immediately: "I hope you can expand the functions of the database, research and develop independently, and organize, store, and manage the data by dividing the structure to form a data warehouse. .”

"It is a collection of organized, shareable, and unified management of a large amount of data stored in the computer for a long time. It has a large storage space and can store millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even more. The data."

"The database does not store data randomly, but has certain rules, that is, the division structure I mentioned earlier forms an organization, so that the query efficiency will be higher."

"Regarding the source of data in the database, you can collect it slowly. This is not urgent, after all, the software has not yet been developed."

Lin Baicheng expressed the concept of database in his mind. He believes that the future of this software will not be small, because the development of the Internet is inseparable from data.

Aiden Sherland couldn't help saying: "Boss, to store so much data, the server required is much larger."

Peter Rosling also said: "This kind of large server can only be purchased from IBM, and the price is not cheap."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "It's not about buying now, first develop the software first, and don't worry that the company has no money to buy servers."

Lin Baicheng, the boss, has already said so. Of course, Aiden Sherland would not say anything on this point, but said: "Boss, regarding the development of software, I may need your guidance at that time."

"This time I will only give pointers when you encounter difficulties, and the usual research and development work will be handed over to you."

It is definitely impossible for Lin Baicheng to stay in New Century Software Company every day. After all, he has many careers. At most, he will provide solutions when R&D encounters difficulties, instead of burying his head in developing software like an engineer.

Aiden Sherland and Peter Roslin felt a little regretful when they heard the words, but they had no choice. Whoever made Lin Baicheng the boss, they could never ask the boss to do the same thing as them, or even do better than them. What does the company want them to do?
