The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 113 The big boss is here

The girl at the front desk smiled apologetically and said, "Hello, Mr. Long, how about I call Mr. Qiu and ask him to pick you up?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "No need, I'll just go there myself. We don't do these vain things."

"Well! Don't secretly make an internal call to Mr. Qiu. I hope to give him a surprise."

The girl at the front desk nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I listen to you."

Zhang Zhipeng walked towards the company.

This floor of the office building is divided into 3 large office areas.

In the two large office areas, there are more than 500 programmers working together to write operating systems on the JAVA platform.

Another large office area is the centralized office space for various logistics support departments.

Qiu Bojun also works on this floor.

He doesn't even have his own separate office.

He mingled with the programmers and moved between each workstation.

When Zhang Zhipeng walked in, he saw the busy and intense work scene in the office area.

Zhang Zhipeng stood outside the door of the large office area where Qiu Bojun was and observed for a long time. He was very satisfied with this tense and orderly work scene.

Zhang Zhipeng slowly walked into the office area.

Only then did someone notice him.

However, no one spoke.

Zhang Zhipeng came to Qiu Bojun's side.

Qiu Bojun was discussing a programming problem with a programmer, and he didn't even notice that Zhang Zhipeng had arrived beside him.

Zhang Zhipeng stood aside and listened for a while, and found that a difficulty seemed to have arisen in the discussion between the two.

Qiu Bojun doesn't seem to be able to solve it.

Zhang Zhipeng couldn't help but start to give instructions.

Only then did Qiu Bojun look up.

Qiu Bojun was surprised to see it was Zhang Zhipeng, but he didn't say anything and listened quietly to Zhang Zhipeng's explanation.

After Zhang Zhipeng finished speaking, Qiu Bojun said with a smile: "Mr. Long, your lecture has solved a big problem for me."

The programmer who was discussing with Qiu Bojun was stunned: The big boss is here?

This big boss is so young too!

Moreover, he seems to be very professional.

Just now he asked Qiu Bojun for advice on a command issue related to the dragon architecture.

Because the operating system they are writing is based on the Dragon architecture!

Therefore, it must be closely integrated with the CPU architecture instructions.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "The working atmosphere here is still very good."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir, haha!"

Qiu Bojun waved his hand and said, "Why are you working so hard? It's all about winning glory for the country, right?! What's more, I'm still waiting for the pie you drew for me to become a reality!"

"Let's go to the drawing room and have a chat."

Zhang Zhipeng asked with a smile: "You really didn't build a special office for yourself?"

Qiu Bojun shook his head and said, "Really not."

"I don't think it's interesting to set up an office and close yourself off."

"My role is to lead everyone to work hard together and get the job done as quickly as possible."

"I'm not a supervisor, haha!"

The two people came to the reception room and sat down to talk.

Zhang Zhipeng asked how the operating system writing progress was.

Qiu Bojun told Zhang Zhipeng that the writing has basically been completed.

However, just because the writing is done, it doesn’t mean it’s done.

Because, the newly completed operating system will still have various omissions and errors.

This type of omission must be corrected and improved.

Strive to make the new operating system perfect, without so many loopholes, let alone any fatal flaws.

These all need to be tested, constantly tested, and constantly modified.

In the end, it becomes more tempered and can operate stably, bringing a better user experience to consumers.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded with a smile and said, "President Qiu's attitude of pursuing perfection is really admirable!"

"You are right to do this! We are going to make the first truly domestic visual operating system extremely perfect!"

"In this way, we can completely compare with those foreign operating systems."

The two talked about work for a while.

In addition to the operating system, WPS is also being re-modified and improved. It originally used assembly language.

Now it has been directly changed to JAVA language writing, and various functions have been improved.

Qiu Bojun said: "WPS basically has no problems now and can meet all office needs."

"In addition, we are also organizing manpower to write the design software you mentioned."

"But in the early stage, our focus was on the operating system and WPS."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Take your time and don't be too anxious."

"Now, the most important things are actually the operating system and WPS software."

"Now, the first phase of our computer production industrial park project is about to be completed. The next step is the processing of production equipment and the installation and commissioning of the production line."

"I beg you, I still have two months to polish the operating system and WPS."

Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "There's no problem with that! Just don't worry."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Our talent recruitment work cannot stop and must continue!"

Qiu Bojun nodded and said, "We are always open to recruiting."

"But, to be honest, there are not many truly excellent programmers, and we can't recruit just any cat or dog."

"My principle is that people must be spiritual and understanding, and they must be smart enough. Even if their programming foundation is not good, they can learn quickly and have development prospects and training value."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "This principle is correct!"

Qiu Bojun thought of a question, he hesitated, and then said: "Mr. Long, I think it's not good for our good software to be used for free by consumers, isn't it?"

"It would make me feel like our work is not valuable."

"Foreign software requires extra money to buy."

"Why can't we do that?"

Zhang Zhipeng heard what Qiu Bojun said, and he understood what Qiu Bojun was worried about: Kingsoft Software Company is so large, and it recruits so many programmers at once, the annual cost is quite high.

If the value of the software cannot be realized, the development prospects of Kingsoft Software will be very unclear.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Please sir, I never said it would be free. Haha!"

"We package software and hardware and sell them to consumers!"

"For example: the installed price of each operating system is 100 yuan, and the installed price of each WPS is 20 yuan. This money is regarded as the revenue of your Kingsoft software and will be settled directly to you." ˆ ˆ ˆ "I say this, please Doesn’t it mean you won’t have anything to worry about anymore?”

Qiu Bojun smiled a little sheepishly and said, "Mr. Long must have seen through my little thoughts."

"I actually want to protect the interests of my brothers."

"Brothers work very hard. Their current remuneration is quite generous in the domestic industry. I don't want to see a situation in the future where the donkeys, cunning rabbits and lackeys will be killed and the good ones will be hidden."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "How could such a situation happen?"

"The operating system needs to be constantly updated and iterated!"

"Various application software also requires constant iteration and maintenance!"

"So, the situation you mentioned will never happen!"

"If you want to build a great enterprise, you can't do it like a dog and a dog with a small belly and chicken intestines!"

"President, I assure you that Kingsoft Software will continue to grow and develop!"

“All employees will receive a generous salary package!”

"After all, in my mind, software and hardware are equally important!"

Zhang Zhipeng comforted Qiu Bojun all the time.

Qiu Bojun breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that Zhang Zhipeng's character was still reliable.

"When Mr. Long said this, I finally felt a little more relaxed."

"In the past, every time I thought that the software we worked so hard to write was used as a bonus for the hardware, I felt very uncomfortable, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "President, you must understand my good intentions!"

"Software is a special commodity. It basically has no physical object and is extremely easy to be pirated. This has caused a lot of profit losses for software companies."

"The reason why you sold a set of genuine WPS software for 2000 before was because you had no choice, right?"

"If everyone buys the genuine version, then you will definitely be willing to sell it cheaper, even ten yuan and twenty-one genuine copies will be fine, what do you think?"

Qiu Bojun nodded and said, "That's true."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "We have not yet developed a sense of authenticity in our country."

"It can only be sold in packages."

“I don’t think it’s impossible to wait until copyright awareness is formed and then sell copyright royalties separately.”

"The country will pay more and more attention to copyright protection! Please rest assured."

Qiu Bojun smiled and said: "I hope the day when copyrights are perfectly protected will come soon. Although the United States and the United States are all bad, there is one thing they do very well, and that is the protection of copyrights."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "That day should come soon!"

“I estimate that in ten years’ time, copyright protection will begin to get on the right track and its intensity will become much stronger.”

The two talked for a while, and Zhang Zhipeng took the employee roster and looked through it.

He wanted to see if there were any future it bosses he was familiar with on this roster.

For example, will Rebus have joined?

He took a look, and sure enough he found Rebus' name.

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head. He didn't know what happened. He didn't like Rebus very much.

After reading the roster, Zhang Zhipeng thought of another future boss: Ma Huateng.

Brother Huateng should not have graduated from Shenzhen University at this time.

He won't graduate until next year. After graduation, he will join a communications company for a few years before resigning and starting his own business.

Zhang Zhipeng pondered: Should he recruit this big boss?

Even if Huateng is restless and ambitious, it doesn't really matter.

In a few years, if he wants to start a business, Zhang Zhipeng can even invest and sponsor him and become his major shareholder.

Giving him a job now can be regarded as investing in a network in advance.

With Zhang Zhipeng thinking this, he said to Qiu Bojun: "Mr. Qiu, what do you think is the university with the best computer department in Guangdong Province?"

Qiu Bojun said with a smile: "Based on the performance of the programmers I am recruiting now, I think the computer departments of Chungsan University and Shenzhen University train students with stronger abilities."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Shenzhen University opened quite late. I didn't expect the teaching quality to be good."

Qiu Bojun said: "Shenzhen University was built with national aid, and many capable professors came from all over the country. Its strength is not too bad."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Why don't we go to Shenzhen University to have a look and do some school recruitment?"

Qiu Bojun scratched his head and said, "There's no need to go there specifically for school recruitment, right?"

"If we put out recruitment advertisements, those who are willing will naturally come."

"After all, the rice we gave is quite a lot. Moreover, Zhuhai is not too far from Shenzhen Town."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I am quite curious about Shenzhen Town now. It has been less than 20 years since the city was established. I want to take a look at what the city looks like now."

Qiu Bojun laughed and said: "Haha! Shenzhen Town is still developing well now, and the built-up area already has the momentum of a metropolis. However, there are still large undeveloped areas in the middle waiting for companies to come and invest to fill the gaps. "

"If Mr. Long wants to go, then I will accompany you to have a look."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look together."

So, the next day, accompanied by Qiu Bojun, Zhang Zhipeng took a car to Shenzhen Town.

The distance from Zhuhai to Shenzhen is actually only 150 kilometers.

In his previous life, Zhang Zhipeng visited here. At that time, this area was basically connected into a large area, and there were almost no gaps in farmland between cities.

It is different now. The Pearl River Delta is not yet fully developed, and the road conditions from Zhuhai to Shenzhen are not very good in some areas.

However, the prosperity of the Pearl River Delta is now visible to the naked eye.

When we arrived in Shenzhen, the driver took a walk around the city built on the basis of this fishing village.

At this time, Shenzhen Town was still full of construction sites. The city is still growing rapidly today.

When we arrived at Shenzhen University, the car entered the school gate without much effort.

"Mr. Long, I am quite familiar with Lin Yutian, the head of their computer department. How about we go and visit him directly?" Qiu Bojun said with a smile.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Okay! It's most appropriate to go directly to the head of their department."

"But how come you are familiar with the head of their department?"

Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "You must have guessed the reason!"

Zhang Zhipeng understood immediately: "Have you ever come here to promote your genuine software?"

Qiu Bojun nodded and laughed: "That's not what it is!"

"I traveled all over the country. In the past, I just tried to persuade them to use my software. If they used my software, I would pester them to buy my genuine software."

Zhang Zhipeng sighed and said, "It's quite hard, but it's a good move."

As he talked, he arrived in front of the computer department building of Shenzhen University.

When Zhang Zhipeng got off the car, he felt that there were several security personnel on guard around him.

This made him feel very reassured.
