Du Xinye, the manager of the Zhixiang project team, acted very quickly. Wang Yan said that the upgrade would be pushed out after two days of debugging, but in fact, Du Xinye took the people from the project team and Yiyi people to work overtime, and the debugging was completed on the same day. We started pushing the upgrade at noon the next day.
In fact, they don't need to get started with the hype, because people nowadays hold up their mobile phones all day long to take pictures, and this kind of new things will not be absent. Moreover, more than 600,000 units of the first generation of Smart Sound have been sold, and there are more than 600,000 families behind them. If there are more than one, if there are two people in a family, that is 1.2 million people.
This number of people is enough to ensure that there are people from all over China. It also ensures that as soon as Smart Speaker appears, someone will read the push upgrade introduction and conduct targeted experiments.
The users of Zhixiang are a group of people who pursue technology and new lifestyles. As the product with the most disruptive potential in recent years, it is the top product in terms of appearance and user experience. These people will definitely release test videos as soon as possible.
All the manager Du Xinye has to do is to apply for a sum of funds, give his subordinates half a day off, go home and lie in bed and watch short videos to see whose videos are good, and then give money to them for promotion. In addition, spend money to buy some press releases and find business news reports. Combining the two, you can basically stir-fry.
Of course, there are also the elderly users they are mainly targeting with this update. If there is no video in this regard, then they can find someone to film it themselves and release it officially.
In this era, truly excellent products will never be buried under any circumstances. After all, garbage is sold all over the place, and it’s not like consumers can’t tell the difference between good and bad.
So in just a few days, the scene just after Yiyi was launched appeared again, and it was even more lively. After all, the previous Easy Translation was considered a professional software, and not many people had any need to use it. But the update of Zhixiang is interactive. When users converse in dialects, Zhixiang can not only understand them, but it can also speak quite a few dialects.
This depends largely on the number of speakers of the dialect. The more people there are, the better it speaks. The smaller the number of people, the harder it is to identify them. But as time passed, Zhixiang got trained and grew up, and by then he could say anything.
But even if his ability is not fully displayed like this now, it is enough to amaze the world. You don’t have to be an old man to talk to Zhixiang. Even young people who know dialects are happy to use dialects to communicate with Zhixiang and record videos. Especially women, many of them turn on the beauty and long-legs special effects at home and look at themselves. legs, the screen shows Zhixiang floating in blue light, and there is a line of dialogue.
The dialogue is smooth and natural. Although there are some differences between the photos and real people, the differences are acceptable and help people distinguish.
Therefore, taking advantage of this popularity, it has also driven the sales of smart speakers, and the already stable sales curve has climbed again.
When purchasing their products, all purchases are made under real names. Although they do not collect more data, like other software, they require permissions for cameras, address books, photo albums, etc., but just relying on ID cards and harvesting addresses is enough to understand a lot of things.
Prior to this, users who purchased smart speakers were mostly in the eastern region, mostly in coastal cities, more in the south than in the north, and most were under the age of thirty. In comparison, this time with the upgrade of interactive capabilities, orders from the central and western regions have increased significantly. For orders placed from the eastern region, the distribution situation in the central and western regions has also improved significantly. According to the user profile of Zhixiang, the number of users over fifty years old is increasing.
This clearly shows that this wave has opened up new user groups as expected.
In this process, of course, hard-working international porters are also indispensable to move domestic videos abroad. Although the foreign devils couldn't understand it, they could tell that they were in different dialects, and there were subtitles to match. And the main thing I watched was the same little fat guy floating in the blue light in different videos.
Zhixiang is still well-known abroad, because there are also foreign bloggers who have made videos to show its powerful functions. More importantly, the prices of Qiangshen Pills revealed are different. This is a company that discriminates against them and treats them differently. , of course he is famous, but many people have nothing good to say about him.
It's just that foreign devils are human beings too, and the same problems as Chinese people have over there. There are many people who speak out about their integrity. They also have people who take the initiative to help this foreign company find reasons, calling on everyone to reflect and calm down...
In short, it did not delay the surge in overseas visits to the official website, and the overseas orders of Zhixiang increased even more. From the surrounding Maozibangzijiazi to a bunch of countries in Southeast Asia, and then to Europe and the United States, there are hundreds and thousands of orders in one country. When added together, it is very considerable, and the income has increased significantly.
At this time, Zhao Changchun also did what Wang Yan told him to do. He began to build a new production workshop in the factory. At the same time, he acquired the clothing factory next door and moved the clothing factory to another place to renovate the vacant factory.
Wei Lan went upstairs to Wang Yan's office. When she got behind Wang Yan, she looked at a bunch of codes on Wang Yan's computer. She squeezed Wang Yan's shoulders and massaged them hard, and asked, "What are we developing again?"
"Our office software, the mobile version, will be ready in a week. By then we can chat and communicate on the mobile phone, and any information from the company can be pushed out as soon as possible, making it more convenient to work." Wang Yan asked, " What’s wrong, what business do you want from me?”
Wei Lan was also very busy at work and had no time to have an office romance with him.
Wei Lan turned around and leaned against the table and said, "As for the clothing factory, we haven't chosen the director yet. I'm thinking... Let Sun Yi be the director? She's good-looking, has a good figure, and has good aesthetics." No problem. Anyway, we didn’t intend to make money when we acquired the clothing factory. We simply created a brand by ourselves. It doesn’t matter whether it is popular or not, as long as we are happy wearing it. I have already thought of the name of the brand. It is called Longteng·Qingya, which is fresh and elegant. Let’s make some What do you think of Chinese-style clothes?"
"You can do whatever you want, but you have to be prepared to have no friends. You understand this. If she is not in our company, no matter how rich we are or how high our social status is, at least we will be on the right side with her. Waiting for status. But if she comes, she will become your subordinate, and she will not be able to be like before. "
"We're equal now?" Wei Lan shook her head, looked at Wang Yan's smile and said with a sigh, "I can feel that she is trying her best to stay the same and face us as naturally as possible, but I can still I feel it, what’s the difference if she works under me? You must have seen it a long time ago, and you are still telling me these truths."
Wang Yan said with a smile: "She is measured. Since you have thought about it, just ask her to come. I don't care. Our company is about ability, but it doesn't matter for something as unimportant as a clothing factory. If she If there is no higher goal, then as long as she does her job well, she can survive until she retires."
"We don't know yet whether she's coming or not." Wei Lan rolled her eyes, "Okay, go ahead and get busy. I'll go talk to her."
Watching Wei Lan leave, Wang Yan drank some water and continued working.
He didn't care about this kind of thing, and she also believed that Wei Lan had no other intentions and was just helping a good friend. Wei Lan is such a good friend here, and it's normal to think about good things.
As for the so-called relatives who want to interfere in the company's affairs, not to mention Wei Lan's relatives, but also the relatives on his father's side and his mother's side. They just know that Wang Yan has made a fortune. After all, he bought a big house with a yard last year. When he returned home after the Chinese New Year this year, Wang Dong drove a million-dollar Land Rover, smoked Huazi cigarettes, and drank Maozi wine. If Wang Yan didn't get rich, Wang Dong wouldn't be able to do this.
They just borrowed some money and thought about asking Wang Yan to arrange work for them, but Wang Yan never heard of it. They only told him during the video chat with his parents.
It's not that he looks down on his poor relatives, but he is protecting them. According to the aspirations of these people, if they come to work in his company for three to five months, they will basically work for more than three years. Not to mention anything else, a small bottle of body-building pills costs 12888. Just three bottles is an 'extremely huge amount'. This is not to mention that his company enforces confidentiality regulations. If these people overhear or see anything and reveal it, they will be in trouble.
Of course, that's what he said. If it weren't for his parents' sake, he wouldn't even want to borrow money and would still arrange a job.
The same goes for Wei Lan. Basically, they don't know what Wang Yan does. They just think of opening a company to make a small fortune. Moreover, Wei Lan's parents are blocking them, so they can't be bothered...
Wang Yan concentrated on his work and didn't think about the mess.
So far, the company is still in the process of building a team, mainly because it is difficult to recruit people. Especially in the various industries he is involved in, the treatment of practitioners themselves is not too bad.
Especially in addition to the artificial intelligence-related project team, he used his 'genius' brain to complete the huge underlying architecture over many years and realize various functions that are extremely difficult to break through, so there is no need for R&D talents to show off for the time being. Except for this, all other projects require R&D talents. These people are of higher quality and of course their treatment is better.
But the better thing is that he doesn't need top experts, just people with R&D capabilities, which is relatively easier to find. After all, in any industry, only the top few eat meat. The rest, according to the size of the industry, some eat shredded meat, some drink broth, and some lick bowls. The talent he needs is probably at the level of drinking broth.
There are still many such people. Maybe it's because of lack of ability, maybe it's because insiders in the industry are being suppressed, there are many reasons. Recently, relatively high-level headhunting companies have been working for him, poaching people from all over the place for interviews.
Correspondingly, money is also being spent like water. New employees are hired every day, and various express packages are delivered every day, including computers, keyboards and the like. The equipment they bought was delivered to the company, and they were able to report to work.
Their interviews are confirmed on the spot, and the money is discussed directly without having to do anything else, for the sake of simplicity and efficiency. Normally, there will be six people at the interview site. Two are from human resources. They asked some targeted questions from their professional perspective to make a judgment. Two people from the project team make a judgment on the technical level. The other two are people from the branch, responsible for making judgments on 'people' issues.
In the end, the six people gave a comprehensive opinion and decided whether to recruit or not. If we recruit, we will call in the candidates waiting outside to discuss salary and benefits. We will consider what the candidates want, what the company can offer, and the salary and benefits for people of the same level, and finally decide on a number on the spot. If the applicant is satisfied, he will be hired directly; if he is not satisfied, he will leave.
In other cases, such as a newly formed project, when there is no project team, Wang Yan will personally conduct the interview, and Zhao Fu from the branch will accompany him, because they are all interview leaders, which is very important. There is no stage where the interviewer is outside waiting for the outcome of the discussion. Whether or not the decision is made is all a matter of one word from Wang Yan, the big boss. He knows much better than the applicant himself about how much ability is worth.
At other times, Wei Lan would attend interviews, but she mostly sat aside and watched and rarely spoke. Because except for two skills, the other four people are better than her. She just wanted to see thousands of people and hone her abilities.
The biggest difference between them and other companies is that they submit resumes online and provide resume templates. In addition to personal expressions, most of them are multiple choice questions. For example, for interview positions, if you choose a technical position, the corresponding skills will pop up, and finally a self-description, advantages and disadvantages will be added. Once submitted, a resume will be generated and sent to the human resources department to enter the company's talent pool.
The official website has a high number of visits. In addition to those who buy goods, a considerable number of people create resumes for free here. It doesn't matter whether you can vote for Long Teng or not. Many people know it themselves and come here to build their resumes. This was concluded by the human resources department that Longteng spent a lot of money to build, and it was much better than what they had done themselves. Nice looking, clean, and functional…
At the same time, various branches have also been registered. Computers, new materials, smart homes, medicine, etc. have all been registered as separate companies. The names are also simple, with 'Longteng' on the top and the company's business behind it. This is also why Wei Lan gave his clothing brand such a name. In fact, it is better to have '·', but it is not allowed to be used when raising the head.
The purpose of registering so many companies is to separate businesses and make management easier. Although the group company has not yet been registered, the current group model is already in place. Moreover, registering a national-level group company also has requirements for subsidiaries and registered capital. They are not yet up to standard on this point and will need to wait for a while. In fact, it is a matter of money. There is enough money in the account, but there are too many places to spend money. I have not bothered to worry about this issue yet.
In order to deal with the problem of duplicate names and the problem of the group's rise in the future, Wang Yan has previously communicated with the comrades of the state-owned assets that no company names with the words "Long Teng" can be registered anymore. For existing ones, they will have to wait until a later stage. Carry out deregistration changes, or directly invest in acquisitions. And the future group's rise has already been determined, it will be the 'China Longteng Group', with the prefix "Zhengjingguo"...
The name "Long Teng" alone looks very different, because the previous network has been ruined, but adding the prefix "国" makes it different, and it also has an extremely beautiful meaning. He immediately changed from a nose-picking delinquent in yellow-haired tights to a steady middle-aged man wearing a lapel jacket, big leather shoes, and carrying a greasy head. This temperament and oppressive power suddenly rose...
At around five o'clock in the evening, it was time to get off work. The door to Wang Yan's office was pushed open, and Wei Lan pulled Sun Yi in, who was in high spirits.
"Hey, Miss Sun is here." Wang Yan raised his head, glanced at her, and greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, Boss Wang, don't tell me, your company is developing really fast. Good guy, there are three floors, so impressive." Sun Yi smiled, gave a thumbs up in praise, and then said, "I will be with you from now on. The two of them are just making ends meet, so you need to support them more."
"You can trust me when it comes to supporting or not supporting me. Didn't Wei Lan tell you? We have no profit requirement in this garment factory, so it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you don't become a pornographic person. Of course, there is no profit requirement. , which means that the company provides little support, so it’s all up to you to succeed.”
Wei Lan said: "Okay, let's go now. Sun Yi will have dinner with us today. Go back early and do more."
Wang Yan clicked at the computer a few times, locked the screen and stood up. A true programmer never shuts down his computer.
"Okay, welcome. My skills have improved recently. You can try it again."
"Wei Lan told me that beauty is probably in the eye of the beholder. That's an exaggeration. I want to eat gourd chicken and shredded squid to see how far boss Wang's level has risen. But seriously, you You are already good at cooking, and with your status as a billionaire, it is delicious even if it is not delicious.”
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Okay, we've already ordered the food, so you're really rude."
"Just be rude and let's go." Wei Lan pulled Sun Yi and turned around to leave.
Wang Yan packed up, left the office with his computer bag, went to the underground parking lot, and drove off in the Pony 5 Series to the vegetable market.
Sun Yi was sitting in the middle of the back row, grabbing the driver's and passenger's seats. She stuck her head out and asked, "Boss Wang, what do you want from the garment factory?"
"Aren't you making Chinese-style clothes? Why, you changed them again?"
Wei Lan answered: "No, I just want to ask your opinion. You have many ideas, maybe your clothes will become popular?"
"Clothes and shoes are all industries with a saturated market. At today's stage, it is not easy for anyone to become popular. I am not a fairy."
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, and continued, "But I do have some thoughts. First of all, when making style clothes, you should pay attention to historical factors. It is best to find professional experts who have studied historical clothing to check this. Secondly, when it comes to the materials used, On the topic, we must not deceive consumers, pay attention to skin irritation, and ensure good quality.
Another thing to note is that there should be no English letters in the logo design, nor in the packaging, instructions, etc. This is no longer the case in the past. Chinese products still have to have messy foreign brands to make them fashionable and sell for more money. If you are selling it to the Chinese, then write it in Chinese characters and don’t make it useless. I won’t be able to buy it overseas for a while, I’ll tell you the details later.
The most important point is that you have two tasks after taking office. One is to design the clothes and shoes we donated first, and the other is to design clothes for our company employees. It has been initially decided that company employees will have one set of summer clothes, one set of spring and autumn clothes, and one set of winter clothes every year.
Summer clothes are simple, spring and autumn clothes should be equipped with an inner bottoming shirt, and winter clothes should be equipped with a cotton-padded jacket and a set of autumn and winter clothes that are different from autumn and winter clothes, and they should also have matching shoes. You design a summer outfit first, then push it on the intranet and be voted on by all members of the company. If there is no controversy, then it will be put into production. If there is any controversy, then it will be redesigned. Maybe you can also launch a questionnaire on your intranet to collect opinions in advance. It all depends on you.
You can go back and get the shoe production and sales license, buy the shoe production line and submit a report. The company's finances will settle the matter and give you an additional 10 million in initial development funds. The rest is up to you. "
Seeing Wei Lan looking at her, Sun Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I originally thought there would be no financial support."
Wei Lan shook his head and said: "How is that possible? Staff salaries are also money, aren't they? We raised five hundred from the employees' wages and paid social security, which is also an expense. There is also money for equipment, which used to be a handicraft workshop. The equipment is too simple, so we have to repurchase it. When the company grows in the future and the scope of charity expands, this purchase alone will probably be able to support the garment factory, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"I really don't have any pressure, I'm just full of energy. In the past, I always felt that I had nowhere to put my talents to use, and I thought I could do it. Now that I have the opportunity, I have to show off my talents and see if I can do it. "
"You can definitely do it, do your best."
Wang Yan continued with a smile: "Speaking of charity, I just ignored it. Don't forget the employees of the charity fund. They have the same standards, as do the employees of the factory. Everyone should be treated equally and no distinction should be made.
Recently, I have started measuring all employees. In the future, I will send a staff member from a clothing factory to the company. After passing the interview, I will directly measure on site and write it into the employee file, so that the clothes will fit well and not look ugly.
The same goes for children, don't use a public number. Their bodies grow rapidly, and they have their bodies measured every spring and autumn when school starts. Don't wear baggy clothes that show no energy.
The clothes belonging to the company's employees must have our Longteng flag on them. You can decide where to put them when the time comes. Forget about the children's clothes and make them clean. Wei Lan, please explain the purchase later and order a batch of badges for our Dragon Flag. It doesn't matter if they don't wear it, we have to wear it. It's a collective sense of honor. The supporting teachers and staff working there also sent it to them, and they were treated equally.
I believe that as the company gets bigger, they will be willing to wear it. Also tell Mr. Zhao that party members’ badges must also be purchased. In the future, when we go out to participate in party and mass activities, we will wear two badges and uniform clothes, which will also appear formal. "
"good."
"Tsk, tsk, you are really rich and willful. The benefits of state-owned enterprises are not as good as yours." Many of them are not necessary expenses. An employee's three sets of clothes and three pairs of shoes a year, even if the factory is his own, is not a small amount of money. . Who would dare to spend like this without money...
Wang Yan laughed: "We are both ordinary people. Now that we have achieved some achievements, we suddenly feel that we have a mission and a heavy responsibility. We can't change China's environment. We need to be better ourselves and treat our employees better. OK."
"This realization..."
"You also have to strengthen your ideological construction." Wei Lan said, "Our company attaches great importance to this. You should perform well and strive to join the party in our company. Those with benefits will receive a thousand more salary."
"Hey, now that I'm also a part of the company, can you tell me about the branch? I'm very curious."
…
Sun Yi officially resigned and joined the company, becoming the director of a clothing factory. Several fashion designers were recruited. At the same time, they also implemented boss Wang’s instructions and asked professors from the School of History of Zhejiang University for guidance to design new clothes. Of course, the designed products are still in accordance with the instructions of Boss Wang, designing clothing for donated students and work clothes for company employees.
Of course, Wang Yan still does the same things, interviewing, signing funds, controlling the progress of various projects, personally joining in to speed up the work, etc. He works five, six or seven hours a day, and the rest of the time is cooking for Wei Lan. Massage and maintain her, take her to exercise, read books with her, and chat aimlessly. It's very fulfilling.
Time flies by like this, but the living father will never forget his great son.
“John Wick: Retirement.”
While at work that day, Wang Yan received new news deep in his mind.
He simply stopped what he was doing, sat in the office and watched a movie, playing it through a speaker with very good sound quality. Now his office is very large and very private, so he is not afraid of disturbing others.
There are one, two, three, and four "John Wick" movies in total. The main story is about the protagonist who kills people all the way for a car and a dog, until he is gone. According to some statistics, the protagonist killed more than 400 people in total.
If you want to know more details, please take a look...
The four movies lasted only eight hours. After dinner and a walk with Wei Lan, we finished them in a short time.
The protagonist of the story wants to retire and has been fighting for it. Retirement is not considered until death. Wang Yan thought that John Wick should retire alive, enjoy a quiet and undisturbed life, and miss his beloved wife who died alone.
However, there are some problems with this movie. John Wick is wearing bulletproof clothing and shoots people at close range. The impact of the pistol, even if he is wearing a bulletproof vest, may cause the person who is shot to have broken bones or fractures. At the end of the day, he will suffer serious injuries. of bruises. Moreover, John Wick was hit by a car and fell all the way down the stairs. An ordinary person would not be able to survive this force, and even if he recovered, he would still be a cripple. But John Wick can jump around and kill a lot of people.
This is obviously a problem, at least John Wick's bones and muscles are far stronger than ordinary people.
So from this point of view, the world may not be as simple as it seems...
Thanks to the four big brothers (Feifeifeifeifei is here) (Mr Xingchen) (Listen to the Rain at Qingming) (Mubaiyie) for their continued support.
I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly for their support.
Thank you to all the brothers who recommended me for your support,
Thanks to the big brothers who read silently for their support.
