"So in other companies, it would take us six man-days to produce a product that can be produced in three man-days." Zhou Zhi said, "But this has the advantage that all output products meet the most advanced international standards. When we need to compete, we will be able to come up with it immediately, while those companies that only need three man-days to come up with products may need more than ten man-days to make up for the remaining shortcomings.”
“Only from this perspective, our efficiency is higher than other software companies,” Zhou Zhi said: “Of course, the cost is only more cost-effective under this usage model.”
These words actually hit the pain point of many software developers. Piracy is prevalent in China now, and there are very easy-to-use free pirated software. Who has the patience to correct the errors of domestic software that has just started? Waiting for them to iterate?
This has led to the fact that domestic software development can only use low prices and try every means to reduce costs, not to mention the approach of Clover Group to ensure ISO standard output, even the software itself They are all somewhat shoddy, and even the products of some software development companies are worse than forum software development enthusiasts who use their love to generate electricity and do not charge a penny.
However, the software that can be developed by such solo enthusiasts is destined to be a big deal. For example, the breakpoint resume download tool created by Hu Tianyu is very popular for downloading files online, but in fact the core program is not Just two trillion.
At present, Zhouzhi can see that the ones that are bigger are basically office software, financial software, and game software.
This road would be very difficult even for Clover, so Zhou Zhi chose the path to be based on the international market, taking into account the domestic market, developing systems and underlying architecture, and professional supporting integration, such as industrial and business management systems. , supermarket system, hospital information system, campus card project, etc.
These projects require large initial investment, complex systems, and high R&D difficulty. Although the output benefits are amazing, they are not something that ordinary small companies can afford.
Even so, the domestic software part of Clover Group is still almost unprofitable. Apart from font libraries, anti-virus software, underlying operating systems, and the several professional systems just mentioned, the rest is basically Serving portals, yellow pages servers and other "supporting" projects, such as browsers and QQ real-time communication software, there is no need to expect to make money from this thing itself, what makes money is the additional small software that relies on them. .
But it is very difficult for other software companies to survive in this era, except for software outsourcing contractors that rely on financial or monopoly institutions such as securities companies, insurance companies, banks, post offices, telecommunications, electricity, transportation, etc. In addition, those software developers who directly face the general public basically rely on internal pressure and external pressure, and there are really not many who are doing well.
If you still want to play like the Clover Group in such an environment, then you really don't know how to write the word "death".
Everyone here is a veteran. Today's information engineering technology is a hot profession. Even if you are still doing research in the ivory tower, who doesn't have some disciples and disciples who have poured out the bitter experience in front of them?
The most prosperous group of software engineering and technical personnel now almost all belong to the offices of major foreign brands in China, such as the Chinese offices of Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft, and their salaries are about 8,000.
The second batch is to enter several large companies. Currently, they are the four communication technology companies known as "Great China".
Further down are companies that provide services to large monopoly institutions, such as Blue Sky and Great Wall, as well as information technology product groups such as Lenovo, Inspur, and Kingsoft.
Further down are the information technology maintenance personnel within local telecommunications bureaus and financial institutions.
The salary of almost every level has been reduced by 2,000, and the monthly income of this fourth batch is at the level of 2,000 to 3,000. But don't underestimate two or three thousand. Nowadays, ordinary city cadres can earn a few hundred yuan. In the days when the director was in his early 1,000, an engineer in a telecommunications computer room could earn more than an ordinary bureau-level leader.
From the preferred destinations of these technical personnel, we can also see the difficulty in starting China's domestic software industry.
Programming with foreign development software is okay, but it is very difficult to independently develop large-scale tool software such as JAVA and C++.
Of course, there are also many technicians who have made their first pot of gold by relying on their own skills. For example, Zhou Zhi’s mentor in his previous life once found a blueprint of a board from foreign materials, and then developed the key components of a mobile base station on his own - " Phase Locked Loop".
The performance stability of a base station matched with a phase-locked loop board is 20 to 30% higher than that of an ordinary base station.
For big players such as China Mobile and Telecom, spending seven to eight thousand yuan can improve the performance of base stations. If you have to directly ask foreigners to do it, spending thirty to forty thousand yuan on a base station may not necessarily achieve such improvement. Effect.
But Zhou Zhi, who helped his tutor solder the board for a semester, knew that the cost of a card for his tutor was only 400 yuan.
Similarly, there is a senior brother from Zhou Zhi's previous life. This brother specializes in helping people crack "dongles". He can get five to six thousand yuan by cracking one, and this thing only needs to be cracked. Once, you can use the cracking program to crack it countless times.
However, these practices are actually flawed. Both mentors and seniors have violated intellectual property protection laws. However, they have accumulated wealth in the shortest possible time and have become worth tens of millions in a few years. Are they really the so-called "horseless people"? The grass is not fat at night”.
And these people who are still sitting here, without exception, are all people who have withstood the temptation of money from the outside world and have made great contributions to the country in a down-to-earth manner. For such people, of course, thoughtfulness I have great respect and admiration.
With this kind of respect and admiration, everyone naturally gets along very happily. The only regret is that these people all made the same mistake, that is, just by asking, they ended up writing a paper. The way of the defense was to treat Zhou Zhi and Mai Xiaomiao as students of their own college or graduate school.

This also made Zhou Zhi and Mai Xiaomiao feel a bit stressed, so after the day's meeting, Zhou Zhi refused the old chief's invitation to dine in the restaurant, with the excuse that there were important matters with the National Museum and the Ministry of Culture. The project was waiting for them to report, and he quickly ran away with Mai Xiaomiao.
When they arrived at the entrance of Demian Hall and said goodbye to the driver and soldier who sent them here, Mai Xiaomiao stuck out her tongue: "Those old uncles are so scary. They kept asking me all afternoon."
"This is a A good start, I'm afraid you won't even be able to ask." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "But now that we are here, it is our home court. Just relax, I will take you to visit two respected old men. Remember, if you have a good time chatting, he They say they want to give you handwriting, paintings, or gadgets, so don’t shirk them and accept them quickly.”
“Hey, why?” Mai Xiaomiao felt so strange: "Didn't you say in Lianhe Township not to accept things from fellow villagers under any circumstances? Even if you accept them, you must reciprocate gifts in return? Why are the customs in this capital different?" (End of Chapter)
