Chapter 35 Conflict and Progress
The four of them have been busy spending the recruitment season, and they have recruited more than 50 R&D personnel in October, plus the first batch of ten "temporary workers" interns, as well as more than ten administrative, sales and other personnel. The company is now 80 people. Once there are too many people, things will inevitably become a little messy. Fortunately, the newly recruited office director is an experienced veteran and presided over the establishment of various rules and regulations of the company. Otherwise, if Cai Siqiang and the young people were fooled, it would be strange if the company is not messed up. Few people can rely on feelings. Once there are too many people, the system can only rely on systems.
Duke and Zhao Jianwu also formally established four projects based on the company's current R&D tasks: one is responsible for the research and development and maintenance of the PC version of the Sala input method. Since this product is relatively mature, only 7 people are given, and the newly recruited senior engineer Liu Chengjun was led by Liu Chengjun; the other is responsible for the development of the Sala input method android version. This project has 15 people, and Li Lifei, a senior andriod programmer who was newly dug by the headhunter, served as the project manager; one is responsible for the in-depth customization of Jindi mobile phones, temporarily placed about 20 people, Zhao Jianwu is also appointed as the project manager; the other is responsible for the joint venture of the new game "Kerry's War".
Development, Duke is currently the project manager, bringing more than ten formal employees and those ten interns, and is learning to explore game development. Qin Chu has settled the contract. Sanda Company has sent three senior engineers to work with Duke to jointly develop game prototypes based on voice control. As for the voice input method of iOS, Saipan and Microsoft WP/WM versions, as long as the research and development is temporarily suspended, there is no way. Now there is a shortage of manpower. After using the Dongfeng signed a contract with Jindi, it has been robbed. The veterans in Rongcheng who are suitable for doing this and are willing to come are almost all recruited. The subsequent talents can only be hunting and training to slowly expand.
Duke adapted the core of the sala input method into SDK, providing a complete link library and development environment for Windows and Android, and attached detailed programming instructions and call samples. Due to the detailed information, the team members of the two projects, Li Lifei and Zhao Jianwu, are learning faster. After all, the selected people this time are all experienced. With these learning materials, everyone got started quickly.
Time flies, and another week passed. Duke was thinking about the framework of the game "Kerry's War". Suddenly there was a noise coming from the office. Duke, who was sitting in the small room of independent partitions, frowned and raised his head in confusion, and found that the noise outside was getting louder and louder. An indignant voice came in through the glass.
"What, why do you always target me? Li Lifei, what do you mean? Do you dislike me?"
"Xiong Jian, just say a few less words. They are all in the same group. Do you have to be so excited? If there is anything, everyone will just talk about it," someone next to him persuaded.
"Mao Siyuan, you are so proud now that you are flattering Li Lifei all day long. You two have such a good relationship and the work you do is also the core part. Of course it doesn't matter. Everyone is new. Why does Li Lifei want to divide people into different levels and assign me some miscellaneous things to do. It's not that I can't do the core functional module." The man named Xiong Jian's voice became even more intense when he saw someone answering.
"What are you doing? Shouting like a shrew, you can't communicate privately? Even if you have any problems in private, come to me to coordinate? Xiong Jian and Li Lifei, you two come to my office to work with peace of mind, and the others do things with peace of mind, don't see how nervous the project is now, and it's all because of the delay. Everyone drinks the northwest wind?" When Zhao Jianwu's voice came, Duke felt at ease and did not go out.
Speaking of which, Zhao Jianwu is also a talent. Although he has just started to serve as a business manager, he has trained some leadership to come out with the opportunity of colleges and graduate students to serve as class and department student union cadres. In a few days, the fifty people in the R&D department have more or less respected this tall and strong man.
Duke thought that Zhao Jianwu would not be able to handle this little conflict. He calmed down. In Kerry's war, the whole world was divided into more than a dozen different countries, each with its own unique customs. The protagonist in the story first wandered around the world and grew into a famous knight in adventures. When a country's king was at the critical moment of life and death, Kerry led his brothers to rescue the king, and thus entered the palace and began the iron-blooded battle process.
The plot is actually quite old-fashioned, but what is rare is that Kerry writes the language very exquisitely, and many dialogues are also popular, and the different countries in the book are described vividly. Many things are unprecedented in people, which are both incomprehensible and immersive. Duke excerpts Bileme's "movie" for more than ten minutes, secretly allowing Song Shishi to design the characters, supplies and scenes in the exclusive reference. Just a few first drafts of the scenes made Qin Chu amazed
, joked about Duke that he must poach Song Shishi after the cooperation is completed. The character and scenes are recognized by Qin Chu, an expert. Duke is not surprised. No one has such a wonderful real "movie" scene of the alien planet as he does, which is enough to portray various scenes with exquisite details and unique items. However, Duke still can't get the idea in architecture. Generally, large online games are divided into servers in different zones, and there are some restrictions on servers across zones. Warcraft even makes money by charging. Duke doesn't do this. He initially thought about designing different countries into different zones, just like a real world, but there is an important question about how to design this load balancing. After all, the number of players that can be loaded in each zone is limited. If games like Warcraft with tens of millions of online levels are not restricted, hot servers may be collapsed by players who flock to them at any time.
Duke is considering how he is so conscious that his brain communicates with Kerry at high speed. Using the game engine provided by Qin Chu, Kerry has developed a complete simulation program. Of course, there are no precise maps now, and the whole game seems a bit simple, but it can be run. However, no matter how Kerry optimizes it, it cannot exceed the online simulation test of millions of players in a single area. If Qin Chu knows this result, he may jump up in surprise, but Duke is not satisfied, because in this way, Duke's free cross-regional concept cannot be realized. Perhaps this millions of players online simulation online is the limit of Kerry's ability, Duke wants.
Just as he was a little confused, there was a noise from next door again. Could it be that Zhao Jianwu could not hold back? Duke couldn't help but get up and opened the door to take a look. He happened to see the programmer named Xiong Jian excitedly saying, "I'm not doing it anymore" and then slamming the door. Zhao Jianwu, who was chasing him, looked a little ashen. It was obvious that the conflict had failed.
"What's going on?" Duke walked over and asked Zhao Jianwu softly. "Oh, young people nowadays have too strong personalities, and no matter how they say it, they won't work." Zhao Jianwu sighed. "Oh, don't take it to heart. He can leave as long as he wants. If we lack him, we won't turn around. Such people will be better if they leave sooner." Duke comforted.
"Lifei, don't bear any ideological burden. You can manage as much as you should. For those who cannot adapt to our company's culture, you can eliminate them if you should." Duke turned around and looked excited to the side of him, and his face turned red. Li Lifei said.
"Thank you, Mr. Du! I'll do things first." Seeing that the boss not only did not criticize him, but also persuaded him with kindness, Li Lifei said gratefully. Now everyone in the company knows that Duke is the company's largest shareholder, so although Duke doesn't care much about things, everyone knows that as long as Duke says it, it must follow the implementation unless he doesn't want to do it anymore.
A big and small storm ended. A few days later, Li Lifei's project quickly completed the first preview version of simplified functions on the development framework provided by Duke. Now it is tested on different andriod versions of mobile phones, and the functions are relatively stable. It seems that the android version of the sala input method should be completed as scheduled.
Zhao Jianwu's in-depth customization project progresses relatively slowly, but it is not the responsibility of SAL. Because it involves joint development of Jindi mobile phones, many functional control programming interfaces are provided by Jindi Company. Currently, the core functions such as voice unlocking, voice control calls, sending SMS, managing contacts, playing files, and opening any specified software are completed. The customized content is relatively simple, which is to change the place where the mobile phone touch is originally needed to control it with voice. Relatively speaking, in addition to the control programming of the first function, it is difficult to learn control programming skills under Android, the subsequent functions increase becomes just a physical job. It can be said that as long as Jindi provides a programming interface, the project team here can quickly realize voice control based on sala voice recognition.
However, this progress made Mr. Zhong, the boss of Jindi who has been paying attention, very satisfied. In Jindi's new product planning, the first heavyweight product to be built is a smartphone that can be completely controlled by voice. Mr. Zhong hopes that this phone can bear the burden of the company's entry into the high-end mobile phone market and is also the main model of the high-end market of Jindi's 3,000 yuan. For this reason, Mr. Zhong reorganized Jindi's development power and called the most experienced R&D personnel to develop new mobile phones. The hardware is completely selected according to the hardware components of the iPhone. Some materials such as CPUs and other core components are even required to be better than iPhones. Once the prototype is completed, the monthly spare parts inventory supply requirements are not less than 2 million.
According to this requirement, Gemdale hardware design department chose a top high-definition touch screen with resolution up to 720p (720x1280 pixels), equipped with the latest Texas Instruments dual-core processor chip and sgx540 graphics processor, 1gb high-speed memory and 32gb/64gb storage space, and a 14-megapixel camera. It not only has strong 3D performance and graphics processing capabilities, but also provides media processing functions such as 1080p high-definition video recording and playback.
The current powerful top-notch component configuration is integrated. Since voice control is used as the main operating method, in addition to the touch screen, the entire machine only retains a switch button and a multi-use charging/headphone socket. Jindi’s hardware design department adopts a three-shift 24-hour continuous rotation mode, and the software R&D department is not idle either. They fully adapt to the mainstream Android4 system on the single-board verification machine, and need to solve major technical difficulties such as the matching of energy consumption and performance. It is very difficult and progress is a bit slow.
