When will I have a long tassel?

Chapter 230: Attack Tuor

Now Xiao Wenjun is also a person with a net worth of several million. It is hard to say where he ranks in the entire Tsinghua University, but among students, if you only consider the money he earns, Xiao Wenjun is definitely the richest man. Who will treat a meal in the student cafeteria? It's really not worth mentioning.

Hearing that Tang Zifeng described treating himself to a meal as paying a deposit, Xiao Wenjun just smiled and put a piece of fat meat picked out from the vegetables into Tang Zifeng's bowl. Tang Zifeng's eyes were bright, and he quickly picked up the piece of fat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it loudly, as if he had never eaten fat in his previous life.

The young couple finished their meal affectionately, and then returned to the downstairs of the Mechanical Department, chatting without any danger. Xiao Wenjun waved to Tang Zifeng and went back to the laboratory. Tang Zifeng watched Xiao Wenjun enter the building door, then happily walked to the second school gate, raised his hand to stop an empty taxi, and headed to New Jingwei Software Company.

"Hey, Mr. Tang has come personally to guide the work. Why didn't you say hello beforehand?"

Li Kejia, who was typing away in the general manager's office, suddenly felt happy when he saw Tang Zifeng pushing in the door and stood up to greet him with a smile. Tang Zifeng is also one of the company's shareholders, and he does not need to report to the front desk when entering or exiting the company. Li Kejia knew that Tang Zifeng was working in the capital these days, so he made an appointment with Tang Zifeng in advance and asked him to come to the company at a convenient time. At this time, it was just a routine courtesy.

"I haven't been here for a few months, and the company has changed a lot. Colorful flags are flying everywhere, and the fighting spirit is high. Mr. Li is worthy of being a senior executive of a foreign company. He has good management. Xiaoke admires him very much."

Tang Zifeng sat down on the sofa and teased Li Kejia with the same smile.

"Stop laughing at me!" Li Kejia pulled up a chair and sat across from Tang Zifeng. He waved his hand and made an angry expression and said, "I'm almost dying of worry now. I look forward to the stars and the moon every day. Waiting for Factory Director Tang is here to help me solve my problems."

"Shouldn't I be here right now? If you have any orders from me, senior sister, just come over. I will not give up even if I die."

"This is like a human saying. It's worthy of the fact that Senior Sister protected you when you were in school."

"Cover me..., senior sister, these words can easily cause ambiguity."

"You are looking for death! Tang Zifeng, you have changed!"

After laughing and joking, Li Kejia put away his smile and said: "Seriously, after the launch of Huaxia CAD version 4.0, the market evaluation is very good. Many designers who have used it think it is no worse than Tuao CAD, and the design of some functions is even better than that of Tuao CAD. Tuo CAD is even more convenient. I have discussed it with Yuntao and Xiao Han, and we all feel that the time has come for Huaxia CAD to completely replace Tuo CAD."

Huaxia CAD is the core product of New Jingwei Company. This product was first developed by the company's two founders, Zhao Yuntao and Liu Xiaohan, and is a simple imitation of the most popular international Tuo CAD. Zhao Yuntao and Liu Xiaohan were both technicians at a state-owned research institute. After jointly developing version 1.0 of Huaxia CAD, they resigned and founded New Jingwei Company, hoping to have an opportunity to show off their skills.

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Because the functions of Huaxia CAD are too simple, and the market is full of pirated Tuao CAD, New Jingwei Company only sold 45 sets of software and earned more than 10,000 yuan in one year after its establishment. Even Zhao and Liu The living expenses are not enough.

Li Kejia was the marketing director of Tuao CAD China at the time. Because she was optimistic about the prospects of Huaxia CAD, she resigned and joined New Jingwei Company. For her, this was considered a venture investment, although at that time New Jingwei Company was still a company that did not even pay wages. She is not a business owner, but if Huaxia CAD can soar into the sky, her income will be far higher than the high salary given to her by foreign companies.

One of Li Kejia's wise moves after joining New Jingwei was to introduce Tang Zifeng as a strategic partner. Tang Zifeng asked Xinjingwei Company to help develop pattern design software that matched the wood carving machine tool, and sold it to Linyi Machinery at a price of 888 yuan per set. Linyiji then sold it in conjunction with the woodcarving machine tool at a price of 2,680 yuan. Linyiji's wood carving machine tools have been sold tens of thousands of units, and New Jingwei Company has earned seven to eight million from this, achieving a turnaround in one fell swoop.

With money, Li Kejia's business talents were activated. She rented a new office space and recruited a group of poor coders from the market. While comprehensively upgrading Huaxia CAD, she actively explored new business directions. When Tang Zifeng was planning to establish Canglong Research Institute, in order to make up the money, he asked New Jingwei Company to take a stake in it. Since then, some software development work of Canglong Research Institute has been subcontracted to New Jingwei Company, giving New Jingwei Company another stable source of income.

It has been two years since we started supporting the wood carving machine tools. With investment regardless of cost, Huaxia CAD has been upgraded from the initial version 1.0 to 4.0, achieving full functional compatibility with Tuo CAD. Software functions are not patentable. Because functions correspond to customer needs, and every software must meet customer needs. You cannot say that your software can draw gears, but my software cannot.

In addition to functions, the core algorithms of Huaxia CAD are completely independent, and some algorithms are even better than Tuo CAD. Tuo CAD appeared earlier, and in order to match the hardware conditions at the time, many compromises were made in the algorithm. Although Tuo CAD has been continuously upgraded over the years, because it involves too many modules and has to take care of compatibility with lower version software, it is not possible to update all the algorithms. Some algorithms in the kernel are already outdated.

Huaxia CAD has no historical burden. It has been developed with reference to the latest hardware environment from the beginning. It can use various latest algorithms, so its efficiency is better than Tuao CAD, which makes Li Kejia quite proud.

Another advantage of Huaxia CAD comes from its abundant resources of cheap coders. In the United States, the annual salary of an excellent programmer exceeds US$100,000, which is 800,000 yuan when converted into RMB. In China, if you hire a software major who graduated from Qingbei, the monthly salary is only 3,000 yuan, or 40,000 yuan a year. In other words, for the cost of hiring one programmer in the United States, 20 people can be hired in China.

By the way, they are also programmers, and the work intensity of Chinese programmers is much higher than that of foreign programmers. Things like 996 are definitely not unique to the 21st century. Coders in the 1990s are far more powerful than coders in the 21st century. Farming is even harder. By this calculation, 20 programmers in China are at least equivalent to 40 programmers in the United States.

Tang Zifeng pointed this out to Li Kejia. Li Kejia understood it and began to desperately accumulate human resources to turn a piece of software into a labor-intensive product.

For the convenience of users, various CAD developers will include some commonly used part templates in the software. Users only need to call up the template and change a few parameters to design some conventional parts. However, the development of this kind of part template requires cost, so the templates provided by CAD developers are very limited, and some templates require additional charges and are expensive.

Li Kejia has a large number of cheap coders, and the cost of developing part templates is much lower than that of foreign companies, so various templates are added to Huaxia CAD as if they are free of charge. Buy a set of software and get a whole box of CD templates as a gift. Only Chinese companies can do this kind of thing.

At this point, Li Kejia finally dared to say that she could completely replace Tuao CAD with Huaxia CAD. This goal was set by her and Tang Zifeng two years ago.

"How is the sales situation of the software now?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"2,300 sets were sold last month. However, we have learned that most users bought them for the templates we gave away. They are used to using Tuo CAD and basically paste our templates into Tuo CAD. Editing, as for our software, the installation rate is not high." Li Kejia said.

"Isn't this something we have expected a long time ago?" Tang Zifeng said with a smile. Tuo CAD is an internationally renowned software. The vast majority of domestic designers use Tuo CAD. No one has to learn a new CAD out of thin air, not to mention that this new CAD is a domestic software.

Li Kejia said: "That's true, that's why I asked you to come over. You promised me that when Huaxia CAD technology matures, you will take action on Tuao CAD. Now the time has come. It's your turn, Director Tang Da, to take action." .”

"Are you sure there are no problems with your software?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Li Kejia said: "We found nearly a hundred companies for testing, and paid their engineers to use Huaxia CAD to design. If problems were found, they would be modified immediately. Zhao Yuntao and Liu Xiaohan both went directly to the factory to discuss the software details with the engineers. , for more than a year, the company has spent more than 2 million yuan on travel expenses alone. Up to now, I dare not say that there are no problems at all. In fact, Tuo's software also has problems every day. The reliability of our software, I'm afraid it's slightly better than Tuor."

Tang Zifeng also knew what Li Kejia said about software testing. Canglong Research Institute played a big role in this matter. With the help of the Machine 20 system, Canglong Research Institute invited 20 large-scale machine tool companies that joined the company to help conduct the testing of Huaxia CAD. These machine tool companies also contacted some familiar customer companies for help. The customers of machine tool companies are naturally machinery manufacturing companies, and they all need to use CAD software.

Hearing Li Kejia's answer, Tang Zifeng felt relieved. Li Kejia is a person who knows the importance of things and knows when to brag and when to be realistic. In this matter, if she exaggerates, not only will Tang Zifeng be pushed onto the fire, but New Jingwei Company will also suffer irreparable losses.

"I am confident that the Mechanical Department will come forward to promote Huaxia CAD in the national mechanical system. The company must prepare a group of training instructors to be responsible for conducting Huaxia CAD training in various places. However, before that, there is one thing that needs to be done first, and that is to The 40% equity I own will be transferred to Canglong Research Institute," Tang Zifeng said.

"Transfer your equity to Canglong Research Institute? Why!" Li Kejia's eyes widened. This was something she never expected.
