Time Travel: 2014

Although there are many options, it is impossible for Lin Hui to do them all.

Having choices means there are opportunity costs.

There are some things that Lin Hui can do, but they mean huge opportunity costs.

Probably similar to the description of "the gain is not worth the loss".

So even though there are many opportunities.

Lin Hui has to make a trade-off, and the process of making the trade-off is complicated.

When it comes to macro-planning for future development, Lin Hui cannot rely solely on himself.

Lin Hui still needs some help.

And it even requires an extremely professional and systematic think tank team.

This requires long-term planning.

…

Speaking of which, Lin Hui is not exactly a "lonely old man" now.

After reaching an agreement with Apple to transfer the shortcut command software.

Lin Hui has many "followers" around him.

In addition to translators, these people were mainly software engineers sent by Apple to further communicate with Lin Hui for the shortcut command software.

These technicians are basically Westerners.

As for which country Lin Hui came from, he didn't bother to differentiate.

Anyway, except for the black corn, in Lin Hui's impression, Westerners looked very similar.

Lin Hui only remembered that the leader was named Elizabeth Nishi, and Lin Hui did not deliberately remember the rest.

Speaking of which, the technical team sent by Pingchun to hand over to Lin Hui were all women.

Although there are programmers in the IT world.

But it is not easy to assemble such a technical team composed entirely of Program Yuan.

Anyway, Lin Hui remembered that he basically didn't meet many women when he was working in his previous life.

Maybe this is the background of big companies.

Or should I say that this arrangement took advantage of Lin Hui's youth.

Or is this the legendary humanistic care? ?

Well, Lin Hui doesn't object to this.

And there is a team with the same technical level.

For things like software handover, it would be better for a technical team composed of women to be in charge.

After all, it is generally believed that women are more patient than men when it comes to complicated verification tasks.

The handover of a piece of software does not involve too many complex technical problems, but involves a lot of procedural troubles.

Such as product requirements documents, outline design documents, detailed design documents (flow charts, design framework diagrams, upstream and downstream component interaction diagrams), interface design documents, etc. must be handed over.

In addition, it also involves test coverage documents, unit test documents, development progress documents, usage instructions documents...

In addition to these endless documents.

It is also necessary to make sure that the developer last modified the source code, make sure that the project source code has detailed and standardized comments, and confirm the source code directory structure description...

All in all, a lot of trouble.

It would be slightly better if female technicians were responsible for this kind of thing.

Lin Hui believed that with these people, the handover of the ontology of the software involving shortcut commands would be completed soon.

As for the three subsequent technical upgrades of the shortcut command software, it was not troublesome.

Lin Hui had considered it before.

As for the adaptability upgrade, it's easy to say. It just requires Lin Hui to make the shortcut command software compatible with the upcoming iOS8 version.

This thing is completely piece of cake for Lin Hui.

The five million US dollars corresponding to the adaptability upgrade were basically free for Lin Hui.

The functional upgrade is a function that Apple requires Lin Hui to further develop the shortcut command software.

The functional completeness is at least 40% higher than the basic version of shortcut commands.

This is not difficult for Lin Hui.

Lin Hui had thought about it before when developing the shortcut command software.

If Apple really acquires it, it will definitely require Lin Hui to carry out functional upgrades.

So when I was building the shortcut software earlier.

The main function of this software is to implement the required action modules/built-in operations.

Lin Hui only built 80 built-in actions at the time.

In fact, if Lin Hui wanted to just add built-in actions, he could have added more than fifty more.

But Lin Hui didn't do that.

The butt determines the head.

Now it is not easy to ask Lin Hui to continue to upgrade the functions of the shortcut command software.

Let alone a 40% increase in functionality, there is no problem if Lin Hui continues to increase it by more than 60% on this basis.

The final payment of US$10 million can only be obtained by upgrading the functionality by 40%. This task is easy for Lin Hui.

If everything goes well, it can basically be done in one day.

The scalability upgrade is to basically combine Siri with the shortcut command software.

It's not too cumbersome on the technical side either.

If the corresponding AI computing power can keep up, it will not be a big problem for Lin Hui to change SIRI in this era beyond recognition.

But it is limited by the hardware level.

Sometimes software-level technology is in vain.

To a large extent, this is also Lin Hui's dilemma.

In order to implement all the information of future generations.

The hardware must be powerful.

But how easy is it to make progress in hardware?

If you want to make a breakthrough, you probably have to race against time.

Even if Lin Hui has several years of information advantages, it will be difficult to make a difference in hardware.

If it were that easy, the national team would have caught up long ago.

After all, the country has spared no effort in investing in hardware, especially new products.

But it's not that easy, there are many difficulties.

The biggest difficulty comes from past suffering.

One step behind, and one step behind.

What's more, it's not just one step behind.

IBM was founded in the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty.

It's just outrageous.

This gap in technology even made Lin Hui think of being displaced in time and space.

This gap can be said to be very disappointing.

But it’s not completely impossible.

Lin Hui had another wonderful idea.

But now is not the best time.

Let's take our time and see.

Regarding the shortcut command software, Lin Hui had already made plans for several subsequent upgrades.

However, Lin Hui felt that it would be better to carry out corresponding upgrades after a period of time.

Otherwise, how can the value contained in his work be shown?

And if Lin Hui shows that it is easy to get the corresponding technology upgrade.

Any similar transactions with Pingcheng in the future are likely to result in a lower price.

So some things cannot be rushed.

After successfully completing the contract.

Pingchun invited Lin Hui to the banquet.

Well, Lin Hui politely refused again.

It's not that Lin Hui is being polite, but because Lin Hui does have other matters.

Pingchun did not deliberately try to retain him.

I don’t know if they respect Lin Hui’s personal will.

Or because I accepted that geniuses like to be unique.

Lin Hui didn't stay outside after that.

Instead, he returned to the villa of Mingpin International.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Hui received another text message from the bank.

Judging from these notifications, the balance on Lin Hui’s 6699 card changed from 73.5 million yuan to 82.5 million yuan.

The growth of the domestic balance is quite satisfactory.

It is not surprising that there is an increase of nine million.
