Chapter 238 Research and Development of Xingchen OS System
Compared to a company, this is more like a research and development team, and the entire office is full of scientific research atmosphere.
“Of course, we are all excellent practitioners in the field of mobile phone software, and everyone’s salary here is not low.”
The person with the lowest monthly salary here has a basic salary of It has reached five figures, not including year-end bonuses, performance bonuses, and various project bonuses.
Such treatment conditions were considered very high in Shengzhou at the time, not even inferior to those in big cities such as Yanjing, Shenzhen, and Yangcheng.
After taking a look around the company, Ning Chen came to a man.
This man looks to be in his thirties, his sparse hair looks a bit messy, and dust can be seen on his black-rimmed glasses.
Although his appearance is a bit sloppy, he appears to be very focused and focused.
From the outside, this man is a very good programmer.
This man is called Lu Minghao, and he is the manager of the software research and development department of Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd. He is the most powerful leader in the company besides Ning Chen.
Lu Minghao graduated from Shengzhou University majoring in computer science with a doctorate degree. He used to work in a large factory and was hired by Ning Chen with a high salary through his connections.
If he ignored the company's status, Ning Chen would still have to call Lu Minghao "senior".
"Manager Lu, excuse me, I want to know something about the situation with you."
Although Lu Minghao is currently doing more important work, after all, Ning Chen is looking for him personally, and Lu Minghao must be I will put down my work first and report the situation to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen usually does not come to the company every day. In the past few days, the progress of the company's projects has changed a lot.
"Okay, Mr. Ning, please ask."
"How is the progress of our source code inspection of the 'Star OS' system now?"
"Xingchen "OS" is Ning Chen's tentative name for this mobile phone system. If he has any other good ideas in the future, he will consider changing the name.
"Mr. Ning, the progress of this work is already more than half, and it is expected that all the work can be completed within one to two months."
This is the most important thing for the company at present. Ning Chen is quite satisfied with the progress of this work.
"Manager Lu, how is the current progress of the system software ecological development project?"
Hearing Ning Chen's question, Lu Minghao was obviously embarrassed.
"Mr. Ning, the current progress of this project is still a bit slow because the workload is indeed a bit heavy. In terms of our current number of employees, it still seems a bit insufficient."
Lu Minghao expressed tactfully that he hoped Ning Chen could recruit more employees, because now almost all employees in the company are working at full capacity, and it is difficult to improve even a little bit of work efficiency.
Ning Chen is also aware of this situation, because software development is indeed a very heavy workload. There is no problem for these employees to develop a piece of software together, but developing multiple pieces of software at the same time, even if it is just the most basic The system comes with software, which is not an easy task.
"Manager Lu, I understand the situation. For now, I will focus on the verification of the system source code. Later, I will continue to increase the size of the company and study the expansion of employees."
In fact, now The company may seem small, but its monthly expenses have reached six figures. Even Ning Chen cannot easily afford higher expenses.
After all, Ning Chen is just a worker now. If the company has no income for a long time, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time.
Ning Chen needs to complete the inspection of the entire mobile phone system first. This work is not only to prove the correctness of the source code of the mobile phone system, but also to familiarize employees with these codes and prepare for patent development. Apply for a job.
“Okay, Mr. Ning, then we will continue to focus on the inspection of the source code of the mobile phone system.”
"By the way, Manager Lu, you can share some work with me and Teacher Song. We still have some free time now and can help the company share some work."
Ning Chen is not following Lu Minghao was polite, because the work done by Ning Chen and Song Xiyun would not occupy the company's expenses, so it would indeed be of great help to the progress of the company's projects.
Lu Minghao was a little embarrassed to let Ning Chen do these tasks himself. After all, this was not within the scope of the company's chairman's responsibilities.
"Mr. Ning, we can do all this work. We can't always let you, Ning Chen, do it yourself."
"The company is still in the early stages of establishment, and there must be a lot of manpower on hand. What is lacking is that in addition to being the chairman, I am also one of the employees of the company. Manager Lu, please feel free to give us a part of the company. When the company continues to grow in size, I will not care about so many things. ”
After hearing what Ning Chen said, Lu Minghao stopped refusing and started studying the task allocation issue with Ning Chen.
Song Xiyun was also listening carefully to the discussion between the two, and asked some questions from time to time, appearing very serious. Song Xiyun really wanted to participate in this project properly. She didn't want to hold Ning Chen back the first time she worked on a project with Ning Chen.
After talking about these issues, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun left the company together.
On the way, Song Xiyun asked some questions about Ningchen Company.
"Ning Chen, the employees of your company are really dedicated. It's so late and no one has taken the initiative to get off work."
"Yes, in addition to the benefits provided by the company, , They also really want this mobile phone system to be available as soon as possible. Of course, I also set a latest time for them to get off work. No matter how far the work is, they must be forced to get off work at this time. "< br>
Ning Chen knows that carrying out these tasks does not happen overnight. Ning Chen, the first batch of employees, treats them as company veterans.
If their bodies are overdrawn, even if the work progress can be accelerated in the short term, it will definitely be detrimental to everyone in the long term.
Ning Chen does not want to be a boss who exploits his employees. After all, he is also a worker. Why bother to beat a worker?
"Song Xiyun, I plan to set up a family office area in my house. We don't have to go to the company and can work directly at home."
"Okay, anyway, I live opposite your house and commute back and forth. It's also very convenient." Song Xiyun said with a smile.
After returning home, Ning Chen started planning the office area at home.
The reason why Ning Chen did not let Song Xiyun work directly at his home was because he could keep the system's source code and system software ecology confidential to the maximum extent possible.
Ning Chen does not have any distrust of Song Xiyun, but rather believes in the level of network security here. After all, relying on the firewall established by Xiaozhi, even the best hackers in the world will have a hard time breaking through. The network defense facilities here in Ningchen.
Ning Chen didn't plan to set up an office area in his study because his study was too crowded, and Ning Chen didn't want Song Xiyun to see so many servers in his study.
Ning Chen decided to just arrange another computer for Song Xiyun in the living room, treating it as Song Xiyun's work equipment.
The next day, Ning Chen bought Song Xiyun’s work equipment from Brother Dong and set up various network configurations.
Ning Chen’s home network is the only place other than the company that can connect to the company. This can also maximize the security of the source code of the entire mobile phone system.
After finishing the day's work, Song Xiyun and Ning Chen returned to Ning Chen's home and started another job.
Song Xiyun does not expect to receive any reward from her work on this project, she just enjoys the process.
Seeing the equipment that was the first to be added to Ning Chen’s home, Song Xiyun was a little surprised and said:
“I didn’t expect you to prepare all the work equipment so quickly. This set of equipment is also It’s a lot of money, right?”
“Maybe Song Xiyun will become a key member of the company in the future, and you will definitely have to use the best equipment.”
Ning Chen was actually very grateful to Song Xiyun. If you are willing to come and help, especially when the company is just established and there is a shortage of manpower, Song Xiyun's joining will still play a very important role.
Of course, Ning Chen would definitely not let Song Xiyun do her work for nothing. After the project is completed, Ning Chen would pay Song Xiyun the remuneration she deserved.
The work shared by Ning Chen and Song Xiyun is part of the source code inspection work and the production of mobile application download channels.
This part of the work does not seem complicated, but if two people do it, the workload is still relatively large.
Fortunately, Ning Chen's brainpower index is strong enough that one person can be used by several people, and Song Xiyun also has a very good programming foundation, so there will be no obstacles in carrying out these tasks.
……
As time passed day by day, Xingchen Technology Company also completed the work in the project bit by bit.
With the joint efforts of Ning Chen, Song Xiyun, Lu Minghao, and other employees of the company, the company has completed the inspection of all source codes and started to apply for a patent for this mobile phone system.
In fact, as long as you apply for a patent, it is equivalent to exchanging partial disclosure for confidentiality. But for the advent of this mobile phone system, Ning Chen must do this work.
Of course, applying for a patent does not mean that all technical details will be exposed. The core secrets are still in Ning Chen's own hands.
Ning Chen needs to find a company that can cooperate with him as soon as possible, otherwise, the company's future operations will also be a problem.
With Ning Chen's current income, it can barely support the company's current expenses.
