Chapter 171 Why the only way to relieve worries is to draw cakes
The old Zhou in Guo Jingyun’s mouth is a tall, thin man in his thirties who looks like a scholar. After hearing Guo Jingyun’s words, Zhou Zhiyi was humble. He shook his head and said, "Those are just false names given by peers because of their love. They should not be taken seriously!"
The Zhou Zhijun in front of me is known as one of the five outstanding programmers in mainland China, and is one of the earliest batch of great programmers in China. Among the top-level technicians are the Three Kings of Zhongguancun, and the founder of Kingsoft is also one of them.
To be praised by peers as the Three Kings of Zhongguancun and the Five Outstanding Programmers in the world. The skills of these people are absolutely top-notch. Those who can create a set of software by one person. kind of character.
Zhou Zhijin is best known for his development of a set of "natural code" input methods. In his previous life, Microsoft's Shuangpin input method was improved after authorization from natural code.
This input method is simpler than the Wubi input method and more accurate than the current Pinyin input method. It can touch more than a hundred words per minute. This efficiency is simply mythical nowadays, and Wubi may not be able to achieve it. Such efficiency.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The price of this input method is too high, 300 yuan for a set. Yes, it is 300 yuan for an input method system!
It is affordable. This input method is mainly used by companies in the current laser typesetting, printing and other industries. In addition, there are some old users who are not short of money and have become accustomed to this input method. As for new users , I have never heard of this input method at all.
But the natural code input method did have a great time in the past few years, and the sales were pretty good for a time. But it is the same as the common problem in the software industry now. There are too many piracy. A set of Kingsoft software can be sold for hundreds of thousands. The sales volume of genuine sets is already high, but there are more than a million pirated copies. The same goes for natural codes. The encoding of this input method has been "referenced" for a long time. There are so many pirated copies that they can no longer be sold. The price is up.
For Zhou Zhiyi, the most critical thing is not the problem of piracy and poor sales. He is currently busy fighting a lawsuit for the patent and copyright of natural code, and has invested a lot in this. savings.
Zhou Zhijun is the founder of Natural Code, but a few years ago, he and two others established a company called Chaoxiang. This company just started selling printers, but it couldn't compete with Sitong. Later, it transformed into production and sales. Natural code, at its best, can earn more than two million a year.
If this continues, maybe Chaohuang will have a chance to become an existence like Wangma Company that sells the Wubi input method. However, just like Ni Guangnan at Lenovo, Zhou Zhiyi, who is also a technician, will not be able to work at Chaozhou. I think the company suffered the same thing.
As the inventor of natural code and one of the founders of Chaoxiang Company, Zhou Zhijin was unable to get R&D funding and was kicked out of the management team. His uncle and aunt couldn't bear it, and Zhou Zhijin's temper No matter how good you are, you can't help it anymore. You publicly bombarded Chaoxiang Company in newspapers and demanded that the copyright of the natural code be taken back. Chaoxiang Company is now making money by selling this stuff. How can they let it go? The two sides are at each other's throats.
The two sides are currently in court. This lawsuit has been going on for more than a year. Zhou Zhijun is exhausted from being involved, and his savings have been depleted.
After Tianya.com acquired the Pinyin input method from Wang Xiaolong and Zhu Shoutao, Guo Jingyun saw Zhou Zhijin’s lawsuit with Chaoxiang Company and immediately approached Zhou Zhijin, asking him to serve as the pinyin input method for Tianya.com. The person in charge of the project!
Worried about the lawsuit, his savings had been exhausted, and the copyright of the natural code was also in dispute. Without much thought, Zhou Zhiyi agreed to Guo Jingyun's invitation.
Today, Zhou Zhiyi and Guo Jingyun also came to Hanxi to meet Li Dongling, but when they arrived at the door, he was somewhat repelled.
Anyone who can create a set of software by himself is stubborn. Zhou Zhijun is like this, and so is Qiu Bojun from Jinshan.
When Kingsoft WPS was almost completely defeated by Microsoft Office software, Kingsoft still did not admit defeat. Qiu Bojun is not a patient person, but he is quite patient when it comes to developing software, and he did not hesitate to push WPS to rebuild. , spent several years rebuilding Jinshan.
At this moment, Zhou Zhijun came to Yuhe Leisure Resort. He knew that as long as he stepped through the door in front of him and became the director of the input method of Tianya.com, his name would probably be even louder than before. There are many, and he may even have the same name as Wang Yongmin, the founder of Wubi input method, and his salary is much higher than before.
But at the end of the day, Zhou Zhijun was reluctant to give up the natural code he had created. He was hesitant for a while. He really put all his effort into this input method. Even though natural code was no longer the mainstream input method in his previous life, He is also constantly updating the version for those few old users.
Seeing Zhou Zhijun's hesitant look, Guo Jingyun said directly, "Old Zhou, I will see Mr. Li later. I will ask Mr. Li for help and ask Dongling Hi-Tech's legal department to help you litigate the case. You Are you still worried about regaining the copyright of the natural code?
The most important thing now is Tianya.com’s input method project. This is the project requested by Mr. Li. As long as you complete it, there will be no lawsuit against Chaoxiang Company. It’s nothing, even the natural code has a chance to live again.”
Hearing Guo Jingyun’s words, Zhou Zhiyi finally nodded in agreement. When Guo Jingyun saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Zhou Zhiyi into it! Go to Yuhe Leisure Resort.
Like Chen Tao, Lu Wenhua and others, Guo Jingyun also graduated from Hanxi Jiaotong University. After graduating from Hanxi Jiaotong University, he chose to go to Yanjing for graduate school, and then entered a foreign software company. In less than a year, That foreign company's domestic revenue more than doubled!
Guo Jingyun understands technology and is good at marketing. He has a well-rounded personality and is very popular. He has more or less friendships with many domestic technology giants. After the establishment of Dongling Hi-Tech Internet Division, Guo Jingyun was hired to serve as the general manager of the Internet department. Li Dongling was born in Hanxi Jiaotong University. It is inevitable that more people from Hanxi Jiaotong University will be used. Many people who graduated from Hanxi Jiaotong University did not choose to enter municipal units or state-owned factories. Entering Dongling High-Tech has become their first choice. It is foreseeable that in the future, there will be more and more people from Hanxi Jiaotong University in Tangling Hi-tech, and Hanxi Jiaotong University will definitely become one of the largest factions within Tangling Hi-tech!
Yuhe Leisure Resort is still under construction, but after entering, the scale inside still surprised Zhou Zhijun, especially the swimming pool and resort hotel that are still under construction Waiting for facilities will obviously cost a lot.
Guo Jingyun took Zhou Zhiyi directly to the gymnasium of Yuhe Leisure Resort. The gymnasium, restaurant and gym are one of the several buildings built in the resort now.
The five-story gymnasium includes a basketball court with all modern facilities on the first floor, as well as table tennis, badminton, roller skating rink, tennis court, bowling court, etc. These things are all in Pingyang today. It's a rare thing.
After entering, Zhou Zhijun saw that there were many people inside, especially the basketball court, table tennis court, and roller skating court. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. There were many people surrounding them, and there were cheers and cheers.
Most of these people are employees of various departments of Tanglin High-tech. This leisure resort is open to all employees of Tanglin High-tech. They are allowed to bring their families to play, and the charges are only a cost price. , used to maintain equipment and pay wages to resort personnel.
In addition, bowling, tennis, etc. are all unique in Binh Duong, so even though it is still a long drive from the city, many employees of Tanglin Hi-Tech will still take their families for a run on their days off. Come here for a visit and experience the facilities here. For this reason, Tanglin Hi-tech has specially mobilized several buses. The fares are charged at market prices. These lines are quite popular.
Now, although the Ngoc River Leisure Resort is nominally open to employees of Tanglin Hi-tech, some personnel from Binh Duong municipal units still come in in the name of cooperating with Tanglin Hi-tech. This kind of thing is unavoidable, but , no matter which unit or department people come here, they have to pay for consumption. If it is free, then Yuhe Leisure Resort will not be able to survive.
Guo Jingyun took Zhou Zhiyi to the top floor. The top floor is a bowling alley and a tennis court. There are obviously few people here today. On the one hand, the cost of these two venues is high, and on the other hand, there are many people using this place today. It's Li Dongling.
The person in charge of managing the Yuhe Leisure Resort, who belongs to the Logistics Department of Tanglin Hi-tech, knows how to keep the venue no matter how discerning he is.
Arrived next to the tennis court, Guo Jingyun saw Li Dongling playing against Yao Luoying on the court. Both of them were sweating slightly, and they had obviously been playing for several minutes.
Seeing Guo Jingyun coming over, Li Dongling stopped his racket and walked towards the sidelines. Guo Jingyun handed two towels to Li Dongling and Yao Luoying, then smiled at Yao Luoying and said, "Madam, Chairman, no interruption. Are you here?!"
"What are you talking about!" Yao Luoying blushed and said to Guo Jingyun with a straight face, but she couldn't help but look at Li Dongling, but she didn't feel angry.
Guo Jingyun has nothing to fear. He and many senior executives within Tangling Hi-Tech support Yao Luoying to become the wife of the head of Tanglin Hi-Tech. There is a person who knows the ins and outs of Tanglin Hi-Tech. She is the wife of the chairman of Tanglin Hi-Tech , it is better than a person who does not know the basics appear and eventually make Dongling High-Tech a mess. Many companies have died from the internal strife of the founder and his wife.
"Sooner or later!" Guo Jingyun said with a smile.
Hearing Guo Jingyun's words, Li Dongling just glanced at him, but did not show much expression. Yao Luoying said to a few people, "You guys talk first, I will let the restaurant prepare the food!"
< br>"Mr. Zhou, welcome to join Dongling Hi-tech. I have heard your name a long time ago!"
Li Dongling reached out to Zhou Zhiyi. This was not empty talk. As one of the earliest technical experts, Niu, Qiu Bojun and others all have amazing influence in the industry, otherwise they would not have recruited figures like Rebus.
"I hope that I will not disappoint Mr. Li's expectations. The natural code has already been defeated!" Zhou Zhijun said with a bitter smile.
Li Dongling looked at Zhou Zhijun and felt that the natural code input method had almost become his inner demon, making him unable to get out of it.
“The Wubi input method is not the end of the input method, nor will the natural code. New input methods will continue to emerge to replace the original input method. In the future, there may even be Internet input methods and voice input methods. , artificial intelligence input methods, etc., there may be new technologies emerging. Input methods can turn text into language, and language into text, or even into dozens of dialects, foreign languages, automatic translation...
Input methods may create different sparks from the Internet and even artificial intelligence. You may not give up on natural codes, but you should not give up on the sea of stars!”
