Crazy APP 017

  Zhang Hua Jian felt like the whole world had gone crazy.

  Half an hour after Chen Peng sent the software to the technical department, his mobile phone became a hotline and he had been answering calls for forty minutes in the corridor.

  One by one, the legendary figures within Qihoo 360, whom he had only heard of, personally called his mobile phone as a small department manager to inquire about the developer of this software.

  What's even more dramatic is that just now, the founder of Qihoo 360, Zhou Hongyi, personally called him, asked about his situation and instructed him to continue trying to contact the developer, saying he was coincidentally in Mingzhu and on his way to the branch office...

  After Zhang Hua hung up the old boss's phone, he was stunned for a moment and then made a call to an old friend in the basic software engineering department of a company with his mobile phone.

  "Lao He, the software I just sent to you has even shocked the big boss, what's going on? I'm about to go crazy!" Zhang Hua said succinctly.

  "Are you crazy? Our tech department has already sent out a notice, canceling all vacations, and researching the software you sent over. The more than 20 people who rushed here are all going mad!" came Old He's frustrated voice from the other end of the phone.

  Lao He's words moved Zhang Hua, who hastily asked: "Really? The speech recognition engine technology of this software is so advanced that it can drive your genius department crazy?"

  "Haha!" The person on the other end of the phone sighed twice before speaking, "Let me put it this way, Old Zhang. Compared to the technology used in this software, speech recognition engines are nothing. Do you know what language this software is written in?"

  "What language?"

  "It's completely written in Chinese! And it's not like the E language, which is translated from C++ into pseudo-Chinese programming, but real Chinese programming. In other words, this developer absolutely has a truly Chinese programming tool with independent intellectual property rights and a compiler that perfectly supports the Chinese language!"

  "Oh?" Zhang Hua Jian, who was not very good at programming, obviously did not realize the amount of information contained in this.

  "That's not all, do you know why this software needs to restart after installation? And also the phone's running efficiency is significantly improved?"

  "Why?"

  "This software actually replaces the operating system's execution code after installation! What's even more frightening is that it can automatically adapt to different hardware of various Android phones from different brands!" Old He's voice on the phone had already begun to tremble.

  "Is it difficult?" Zhang Hua Jian asked dully.

  "Easy! Not difficult at all! Creating our own hardware, creating our own Chinese operating system, it's just a dream that all Chinese IT people want to achieve but no one can achieve, how can it be difficult?!" Old Liu has gone crazy.

  There's no way around it; when technical people communicate with non-technical people, they often run into this kind of situation.

  "Alright, I was wrong. Is there anything else in particular?" Zhang Hua Jian, who had obviously gotten used to communicating with this tech person, immediately apologized.

  "Of course, there's also a brand new compression algorithm that's nearly ten times more efficient than the best existing ones, an encryption algorithm that's never been seen before, and its voice engine. I'm telling you, if all the technical principles used in this software were to be made public, it would be enough to cause a magnitude 10 earthquake in the entire IT industry of China, no, the whole world! Compared to our crappy technology, theirs is the real deal high-tech stuff! Forget it, I won't say any more, I'm busy here!" With that, Old Liu hung up the phone.

  Listening to the "beep" sound coming from his mobile phone, Zhang Hua Jian was stunned.

  Although he didn't understand many things, he thoroughly understood a few points: this software is awesome, the technology used in this software is even more awesome, so the developer of this software must be extremely awesome!

  Just then, a excited cry came from the audit department office next door, "Ha, he logged in!"

  At the same time, the elevator door at the end of the corridor suddenly opened, and four people walked out of the elevator. The one in front was surprisingly Baidu CEO Robin Li (Xu Yanhong).

  ……

  "Is it really over?" Wang Zhengyu asked again with a hesitant expression.

  "Nonsense! Emperor Gaozong of Song summoned Yue Fei with just twelve golden plaques in one day, but you've received twelve messages from others within an hour and still have the nerve not to respond?" Huo Guangbo said with a slanted gaze.

  "Alright, let's fight!" Wang Zhengyu picked up his phone.

  Wang Zhengyu's hesitation was because this software wasn't designed by him at all, so he had a slight psychological resistance to communicating directly with the other party over the phone.

  But before he could make the call, his mobile phone rang first. He looked at the caller ID and it was a number left by Qidu Android Market's internal message.

  "They actually struck first!" Wang Zhengyu said with a sideways glance.

  "Hurry up and answer it! And put it on speaker!" Huo Guangbo urged.

  "Answer, hands-free!" As soon as Wang Zhengyu's voice fell, the phone was connected, and an urgent voice came through.

  "Hello, are you the developer of Smart Voice-Controlled Mobile Butler, um, Mr. Pudding?"

  A barrel of pudding is a network name casually filled in by Wang Zhengyu when uploading software

  "What's up?" Wang Zhengyu replied.

  "Please wait a moment, our big boss wants to talk to you personally!" The person on the other end replied, and after a while, a very calm voice came from the phone.

  "Hello, I am Robin Li, CEO of Baidu Technology. May I have your name, sir?"

  "Qihoo CEO? Really?"

  "Robin Li? Fake one?"

  Wang Zhengyu and Huo Guangbo stared at each other.

  No choice, although it's just a short sentence, the amount of information contained is obviously quite large.

  As the world's largest Chinese search engine, Baidu's name is absolutely well-known. The founder and current CEO of Baidu, Robin Li, although rarely appears in the media, has a mixed reputation, but he is undoubtedly one of the top-ranked internet moguls on China's rich list.

  "Excuse me, is your surname Wang and are you really Xu Yihong?" Although it was very impolite, Wang Zhengyu still couldn't help but repeat it.

  "Mr. Wang, I'm really Robin Li!" said the voice on the phone affirmatively.

  "Ask him what's going on!" Huo Guangbo reminded in a low voice, reacting much faster than Wang Zhengyu.

  "Mr. Xu, hello, may I ask what brings you here?" Wang Zhengyu's heart began to beat nervously.

  "First of all, please excuse us, Mr. Wang, for not getting your approval beforehand, our auditing department has passed your software to the technical department of Qihoo 360 for analysis. However, the cutting-edge technology used in this APP developed by Mr. Wang is truly breathtaking! On behalf of Qihoo 360, I would like to invite you to become our Chief Technical Advisor, do you have any interest?" said Zhou Hongyi straightforwardly.

  Yu Yanhong's words shocked the two boys next to the phone, especially Huo Guangbo.

  For Huo Guangbo, it was simply that he thought Wang Zhengyu's design of this APP was great, but he had no idea about the technical connotation behind it. At this time, after hearing Xu Yanzhong's words, he finally understood that this APP contained super cool technology behind its ease of use, and how cool it was?

  It's enough to prove all the problems that just one software can make the big BOSS of one of China's most powerful Internet companies invite an unknown college student to be the most powerful consultant in the technical department.

  "Wait a minute!" Huo Guangbo reacted and shouted into Wang Zhengyu's phone, then covered the receiver and said to Wang Zhengyu, who was still in a daze: "Damn! Old Three, confess honestly what's going on? Groundbreaking technology? Qihoo CEO inviting you as a technical advisor? You're defying heaven!"

  Wang Zhengyu was actually not in a daze.

  He was communicating with Tian Shu at incredible speed through brain waves.

  He remembered that Tiānshū handed over the software to him, lightly telling him that it was a very simple piece of software. But damn, now this very simple software in Tiānshū's mouth has actually shocked the CEO of Qihoo 360? If it were any more complicated, wouldn't Bill Gates have come to China to kneel and lick his feet?

  "It's really just a simple technology, I've calculated that with the current level of technology, making software like mine would take at most five or six years. My only innovation is changing the programming language commonly used in your world to Chinese, which you're most familiar with! Alright, don't bother me now, I'm busy downloading data. If I don't quickly understand the real technological level of your planet, how can I better assist you?" After saying that, Tian Shu proactively stopped contacting Wang Zhengyu.

  At this time, Huo Guangbo's exclamation also happened to be transmitted into Wang Zhengyu's ears.

  "What's the point of discussing this now? You don't even understand technology! Anyway, I'm not going to be the chief technical advisor, get your hands off!" Wang Zhengyu said irritably.

  "Now that you've said that, I can rest assured! You certainly can't go be a technical consultant for that dog P company. We're going to start our own company!" Huo Guangbo exclaimed, then directly released his hand covering the receiver.

  "Hello, Mr. Xu, I'm afraid I won't be able to grant your request!" Wang Zhengyu said calmly.

  "Oh? Is it because you are a team? If so, Qihoo 360 can provide any working environment you want for your entire technical team, absolute autonomy, and the most generous salary! Maybe we can meet in person and have a face-to-face talk!" Yu Hong remained undeterred.

  "Mr. Xu, I think you've misunderstood! Actually, I just wanted to release this software on your company's Android market, that's all. The other things you mentioned, I haven't considered them for the time being!" Wang Zhengyu continued to refuse.
