Chapter 349: Back to Mobile Assistant
Lu Man's prejudice against Chen Zhuo has been reduced a little now, but her standards for a "son-in-law" have not been lowered.
Chen Zhuo must reach a certain point, or a certain threshold, so that she can hold her head high and introduce herself to her highly educated relatives.
Only then could Professor Lu truly change his attitude.
Now, she still thinks it’s better for her daughter and Chen to see each other less often.
Lu Man also went through this age group and was a university professor. He knew that adolescent boys and girls could easily overstep their boundaries when their minds were stirred by passion.
Although my daughter is more distant and cold than other girls, the more so, if you really like someone, it is easier to fall into this kind of personality.
So Lu Man decided to do as she did before, not letting her daughter go out to play during the holidays and strictly restricting her stay.
No, it's even stricter than before.
Even if my daughter really wants to discuss some business matters with Chen, I have nothing to do during the winter vacation, so the worst that can happen is that I can just follow her.
As for Chenzhe, although CUHK is on winter vacation, students can still apply to stay on campus.
Because some minority students do not celebrate the Lunar New Year at all, they live in school throughout the winter vacation.
Every day I eat at the halal restaurant in the cafeteria, read in the library, or go to the flower market that is unique to Guangdong during the Chinese New Year.
This is convenient for Chen Zhuo, as he can take a holiday and rest as a student.
But as an "entrepreneur", I still have to keep busy.
After sending the dirty clothes and bedding in the dormitory back to Empress Dowager Mao for cleaning, Chen began his "freshman winter vacation" life, sometimes living at home and sometimes living in the dormitory.
The same thing happened to the three senior sisters in the company, Fang Qing, Ning Lianlian and Zhuang Mengshi. They all bought delayed tickets to go home.
Let them all stay because Chen Zhuo has a meeting to attend.
After the three of them finished their last exam, they arrived at the office in Tech Valley and looked up to see that their two bosses were already waiting in the conference room.
The big boss Chen was playing with his phone with a relaxed look on his face.
He is still using that broken Haier phone. In fact, Yu Baibai is also using it. Both of them have low material desires and seem to have the attitude of "not changing it until it breaks down".
The second boss, Professor Zeng Kun, frowned. It was obvious that the two bosses had already discussed the content of the meeting, but Mr. Zeng felt that the problem was a bit tricky.
Fang Qing and her classmates will be seniors next year, and can barely be considered "quasi-hardworking people."
They suddenly realized that in the past, everyone attended the company meetings together, but today only the technical staff were called together, and the customer service staff was still typing outside.
With this change in the format of the meeting, the three people gradually realized that their identities were actually different from those of customer service.
After they were all seated, Chen put away his phone and said seriously, "Engineer Fang, Engineer Ning, Engineer Zhuang..."
The three girls looked stern. After working at Suhui for so long, it was the first time they were called "X workers", a title only engineers can have.
"After all the hard work during this period, the learning network rarely has those kinds of small bugs anymore."
Chen Zhuo first delivered a good news to everyone: "The year-end bonus will be distributed to you before you go home."
Fang Qing and the others all looked happy. The salary payments had always been very stable. With this year-end bonus, they could buy a few more clothes for their parents when they returned home.
"Also, there is one more thing."
Chen made a turn, which was the focus of today's meeting. He waved the Haier in his hand and said, "I want to download some software, but it's a bit difficult..."
The operating systems of the mainstream mobile phones in the world today, such as Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung, are all Symbian.
Saipan was launched in 1999. After a decade of continuous promotion, its coverage on the earth is as exaggerated as that of seawater.
At present, everyone thinks that Saipan will "dominate the world forever for thousands of years."
In fact, in just 6 years, Symbian was completely replaced, and Android and iOS became the real kings of the smartphone era.
There are many reasons, including the fact that iOS is too advanced and Android is free and open source.
There is also the problem that the Symbian system itself is too bad.
Let’s take a look at how Symbian serves consumers:
Apart from big brands like Nokia and Samsung, they have the ability to carry out in-depth cooperation with Symbian. Their mobile phones come with built-in application stores, and users can download commonly used mobile phone software in the store.
In fact, even the app store isn’t fully stocked.
As for domestic mobile phones like Chenzhe, which cost only a few hundred yuan, there is no high-end thing like "app store" at all. At most, it comes with some fixed software such as QQ, clock, calculator, etc. It is very troublesome to download other mobile phone software.
First, download the software to your computer.
Secondly, modify some programs in the software and then plug in the USB cable of the mobile phone.
Finally, copy the modified software into the USB backend in the mobile phone.
However, doing so may easily cause the phone to crash, or the copied software may not be able to open at all.
Chen Zhuo felt that these were completely minor problems for the company that developed Symbian.
As long as we spend a little money and effort on updating and maintaining the "App Store", or open source to a certain extent to lower the download threshold, the user experience can be improved immediately.
But they are unwilling to do it, probably because they feel that there are no competitors and there is no need to strive for perfection.
The collapse of Saipan was also due to its arrogance. Having been the industry leader for too many years, it could no longer return to the people.
Therefore, the second task that Chen wanted to assign to the technical staff was to launch a computer application called "Tracing Mobile Phone Assistant".
This assistant includes all the mobile software that most young people want to download. As long as the mobile phone is connected to the computer, these software can be immediately copied to the mobile phone background.
There is no need to modify any program at all, and it saves you the time of searching for software compression packages on the Internet.
At this time in 2008, online resources were very chaotic. It was very likely that you downloaded a three-hour film by Matsushima Kaede, and ended up with a collection of Calabash Brothers.
"Mobile assistant?"
Fang Qing and the others had never done this before, so they didn't know how difficult it was.
In fact, Chen Zhuo knew that it was not difficult, because there is already a thing called "360 Mobile Assistant".
However, the current "Cardinal" Zhou Hongyi does not seem to pay much attention to this area. All his energy is still focused on antivirus, after all, this is profitable.
There are even some very talented folk experts who can make computer applications such as "mobile phone download assistants", but many of them are charged.
Although these folk masters have good skills, their management and operational design are a mess. They only rely on word of mouth among users and have not caused much waves.
"I plan to offer this project for free. It's purely a loss of money to gain publicity."
Chen Zhuo said, "You guys try it out before the New Year. If the effect is average, I will recruit two folk experts to come over."
"That's not necessary."
Zeng Kun seemed to be a little competitive after hearing this. He pushed his glasses and said:
"Saipan is also based on C language programming, and Xiaofang and her classmates are pretty good at programming."
"We are not going to create a Symbian, we are just going to modify some software parameters and embed them in."
"If civilians can do it, our regular army can certainly do it better."
Lao Zeng is a professor at the School of Computer Science at a 985 university. Even though he feels his talent is not appreciated and even though he is deeply suppressed, he still considers himself a "regular soldier" in his heart.
Chen Zhuo chuckled silently. In fact, some folk experts are very good at C language skills, and their unconventional ways make them more innovative than those from orthodox academic backgrounds.
In addition, Chen Zhezhi recruited ready-made experts in this field because he did not want to waste time.
Because what he really wants to do is not a "mobile phone assistant", but an instant messaging tool like "WeChat".
But after much deliberation, Chen decided to first get a free mobile assistant as a "hat".
He has been an official for too long, and he is used to covering up everything he does with some pretentious things.
This way, the teacher has a legitimate reason and can be praised by the public.
Secondly, it can protect your true purpose.
Many people thought that Suhui wanted to create a "mobile phone assistant", but in fact, the instant messaging software in the assistant was what Chen Zhuo really wanted to launch.
Chen Zhuo was the big boss, and he made the decision "arbitrarily". Lao Zeng immediately started working on this matter with three young female engineers.
But what about Chen Zhe himself? He is going to be a hard-working "cleaner".
Literally, he means "the person who cleans the house". He had previously promised Professor Guan that he would clean the memorial hall of Gao Jianfu, the founder of the Lingnan School of Painting.
It's a week-long process, and we're going to start today.
