Chapter 26 The team needs to expand quickly

After sending Zhang Jian away, Ji Hong finally had some free time and began to take stock of the work he had done during this period in his office.

Cyber ​​Girlfriend became popular and after making the first pot of gold, he quickly established Juer Intelligent Technology here.

At present, the company's main revenue sources: One is the outsourcing project of Zhao Donghe's team. There are currently more than a dozen confirmed customers. Although they are not large, the total amount is less than 10 million.

But it was enough for Zhao Donghe and his team to be busy for more than half a year. Excluding costs such as manpower, rent, water and electricity, you actually don’t make much money – just doing development is the least profitable.

The other one is naturally his cyber girlfriend - for this part of the income, Ji Hong changed the personal subject of the mini program to a company after obtaining the business license.

The current revenue curve is indeed declining. This type of small thing itself is only in the hot period for half a month. Last week, there were several million in revenue. This week, it is estimated that it will barely break one million. The follow-up should be There are some more, but not much more.

Unless it is remodeled and added with avatars, plots and stories as Zhao Donghyuk said before, but in this case, it falls into the category of a game and there are no relevant plans for the time being.

The current core technology of the company is the class thinking model.

There are two major products: AI work assistant and Linux system-level smart plug-in (including Linux system).

……

"The team needs to be expanded quickly!" Ji Hong knocked on the table gently while calculating carefully.

Many projects progressed faster than he expected, especially the cooperation with Moore Technology.

Ji Hong plans to use the "class thinking model" to encapsulate a hardware scheduling intelligent service as a "gift" to Moore Technology, which can be used to enhance the game driver performance of Moore thread graphics cards.

This thing is not complicated, and even overlaps with the GPU smart scheduling capability of the Linux smart plug-in. Ji Hong can handle it easily by himself.

But after the cooperation is confirmed, a large amount of subsequent work will definitely require a complete and highly skilled team.

There are also Linux system-level smart plug-ins and AI work assistants. Except for Cheng Linfeng, Ji Hong has not arranged more promotion plans - the fundamental reason is also the lack of people. Once launched, can subsequent services follow? is a huge problem.

"Brother, can you be more attentive?" There are some things that you just can't talk about. While Ji Hong was muttering, Cheng Linfeng's call came in:

"I have already reached an agreement with the High-tech Zone. This is an opportunity for us to set a prototype. The pricing and policies must be determined as soon as possible. I am very anxious now!"

"Mr. Cheng, no matter how anxious you are, you still have to wait for me to smooth things over. It has only been ten days since my company got its business license, and the official seal and other things were only obtained last week."

Ji Hong explained with a smile: "So, there is no point in just pushing it. The follow-up services must also keep up. The system and assistant itself will not have any problems, but there must be an after-sales team, right?"

Cheng Linfeng could feel that Ji Hong was very amateur in company management, that is, he had core skills, otherwise the company would have to go bankrupt sooner or later.

But even though they have the skills, they have to go up to the pole and beg: "How about this, I will set up an after-sales team to be responsible for the after-sales service of my business, and Juaner Technology will only be responsible for training our after-sales team?" "

Of course Ji Hong couldn't agree, because he couldn't always use Linux to do this. After all, Linux was the kernel decades ago, and the design concept and style tended to be traditional.

Even after some modifications of its own, it will definitely not be able to meet the system needs of future AI hardware intelligent scheduling. From the moment this smart plug-in was formed, he thought clearly that this thing was a transition. To put it bluntly, it was a temporary product made for my daughter-in-law to reduce work stress. In the future, we will definitely take the opportunity to launch our own operating system.

The core purpose of forming an after-sales team is actually to further collect user needs, understand front-line usage scenarios, and conduct research for the subsequent development of its own desktop operating system.

In fact, the real after-sales service is secondary. After all, the probability of problems with this thing is not high, and even if there is a problem, it will automatically solve it to a certain extent.

"I'll solve it as soon as possible, within a week." Ji Hong thought for a while, then continued: "You can start over there, the hardware procurement and bidding process also have to go through, right?

"As for pricing, I have also considered it and will not sell it directly at one time. The plug-in and tool package are charged annually, and the two add up to 168 per year."

Ji Hong also learned about the charges of some operating systems in China. Tongxin and Kirin both charge around 500 to 600. His three years and 500 is absolutely acceptable. After speaking, Ji Hong also explained:
“The reason why we adopt the annual charging method is because AI updates and training are in a period of rapid development, and updates and iterations will be very frequent. This ensures that our customers can always use the most advanced products.”

"Yes, yes." Cheng Linfeng also agreed that the system cost of a few hundred yuan was not high for a government procurement project, or even considered low.

What's especially important is that this thing really has technical content and is not a fool's errand - the leaders also liked it after seeing it.

Ji Hong said he was anxious. In fact, it was not just him who was anxious. After several leaders in the Hi-tech Zone experienced it, it was called urgent.

Especially after knowing and confirming that this thing came from a company registered in his own jurisdiction, he became extremely eager and made the decision without even raising any more conditions!
Money can be obtained at any time. If you pilot this thing and then promote it, if it succeeds, it will be a huge political achievement.

Who is the fool at this time? They all clearly understand the importance of each one.

"You have registered the software copyright here, but it is not enough. A simple and elegant logo and a deep-rooted slogan must be determined as soon as possible, and the visual design must be kept up as soon as possible. It is really a bit ugly now.

"Technology is really important, but sometimes these things are critical."

Cheng Linfeng felt very tired. He felt that he was almost becoming Ji Hong's assistant. He sighed inwardly and couldn't help but give Ji Hong a suggestion:
"I suggest you find a professional manager or a professional assistant to the president to help you here, so that you can focus on technology."

"Hahaha!" The two of them were already very familiar with each other, and Ji Hong also joked: "If you think I'm unprofessional, just say so. It's so roundabout, but you're right, I'm really not good at business management."

In the past two weeks, Ji Hong has really realized what it means to specialize in the arts. Some things don't mean that you can do everything by yourself just because you are smart, have a high IQ, and have a flexible mind.

If you haven’t experienced something yourself and haven’t studied it systematically, you will at least lack experience.

It may not be difficult to really learn. He learns everything relatively quickly, but after all, he is not born with knowledge and needs a growth process.

Ji Hong certainly does not have that much energy. The core element of the company's future development must be technology, and it is absolutely leading technology. This is his field, and his focus must be on this.

We really need a professional business talent to help Ji Hong so that he can better devote himself to technological innovation and promotion.

"Does Mr. Cheng have any recommendations?" He also asked casually.

"No, go find it yourself!" It's not that Cheng Linfeng doesn't have resources, it's just that at this time, he doesn't want Ji Hong to worry and misunderstand that he wants to insert an informant into Juan'er Intelligent Technology.
