Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 347 Perfect fit!

"Why are you reacting like this?" Lu Shan yawned.

I had a very comfortable sleep, but waking up was not so refreshing. My mouth was dry and bitter, and so was my throat. It was so dry that it seemed like smoking. I still can’t stay up too long!
Lu Shan was thinking about it, pressed the corner of his eyes, and was about to stand up when a glass of water was handed to him.

It's Tao Bo.

He is the one who pays the most attention to Lu Shan in the entire company. Firstly, he admires him, and secondly, it is because of Qiao Weiwei's instructions.

Lu Shan works so hard that it is normal for him to work eighteen hours a day. And eighteen hours is even considered a short time. If the company has a champion in staying up late, it must be Lu Shan. After all, he once had a record of working for twenty-two hours straight without rest.

This time, he worked even harder on the code conversion software. Tao Bo especially noticed that when he was sleeping, Lu Shan was working, and when he got up to work, Lu Shan was still working hard.

In fact, it was not just him, everyone in the entire company could see it clearly. After all, the office where Lu Shan worked was separated from them by a piece of glass, and that glass was not one-way glass, so they could also see clearly what was going on inside.

It would be fine if Lu Shanguang just did the work himself, but he also had to solve their problems from time to time, and there were many people who came in to ask questions all day long.

There's no way, Lu Shan's skills are absolutely top-notch in the company!

Even if there were a few people who were not convinced, they had to accept it when they saw the software Lu Shan brought up.

“How is the testing of various software going?”

After drinking the water, Lu Shan twisted his neck, sat in front of the computer, and asked directly about the work progress.

As for this work attitude, there is no one else like him in the entire company!

Tao Bo took a deep breath and wanted to persuade him to take a rest, but then he changed his mind and realized that this was his own old man, who was hardworking and talented. It was useless to persuade him. Instead of persuading him, it would be better to finish the work as soon as possible.

So, he immediately introduced his work situation: "Most of the software on the market has been tested, and 90% of the software can be perfectly adapted. The rest of the software, to put it bluntly, is more rogue and very free, so it is not easy to mess with it."

Lu Shan nodded slightly and opened the summary submitted by everyone. Their testing was more comprehensive. Ninety-nine percent of the software on the market were tested, and tested repeatedly to ensure that no bugs would appear in the future. However, it is impossible for software to be 100% bug-free. Being able to achieve this level at present is already quite good.

In particular, the commonly used software on the market, such as office software, video editing software, and even some chat software have been fully adapted, so this software can be considered to be impressive.

Hard work pays off!

Lu Shan let out a long sigh and looked at everyone.

No one was sleepy now. There was excitement in everyone's eyes and they looked eager to try. They were waiting for Lu Shan to give new orders. Why should they sleep when this was the case?

Just follow him. As the company's boss, Lu Shan is capable and hardworking, a true leader. Following such a leader, you will feel energized even if you have to work overtime!
Lu Shan didn't have any new orders, so he just smelled the odor on his body.

His situation was not so bad, as he had just changed into new clothes yesterday, so there was no smell. But the situations of the others seemed to be different, especially those who smoked, who were simply walking gas bombs.

Now that progress has been made, there is no need to rush.

Lu Shan smiled and relaxed his brows. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he raised his hand and said, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment."

The buzzing sound gradually stopped.

The discussions of the crowd soon stopped and everyone looked at Lu Shan.

They all knew very well that the success of this software meant they had taken a big step forward, because it directly meant that a brand new operating system would be launched.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is Lu Shan’s age. At the age of 20, he can achieve what others can only achieve at the age of 40.

For the road ahead, having such a leader is equivalent to having the ability to trial and error in life.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Lu Shan coughed and said, "I don't think I need to emphasize the confidentiality issue. What I'm going to talk about next is the holiday, which is a seven-day paid vacation. Everyone has worked hard during this period."

"Boss Lu is the one who works the hardest."

As soon as the words came out, someone said "lick".

It can’t be said to be licking, at least everyone thinks so. If we have to say who worked the hardest in this soft development, it is definitely Lu Shan, no doubt about it.

Everyone already knows about vacations. We have been working for so long, it would be unreasonable not to take a vacation. What is even more exciting is paid vacations, which is a once-in-a-century thing. However, it also depends on the boss you work for.

Everyone looked at Lu Shan again.

Lu Shan was not a person who was good at being polite, so he simply emphasized some things.

Then, go straight to holiday.

Lu Shan packed up his things, and the others also packed up their things and went home.

After a while, a group of people rushed to the elevator.

Just as they arrived at the elevator entrance, the elevator opened with a "ding dong" sound. Qiao Weiwei was standing in the elevator carrying two large bags of things. She looked at the people standing at the elevator entrance. She was stunned at first, and then she tightly grasped the bags in her hands. Her beautiful big eyes flickered and she asked tentatively: "Success?!"

"Yes, Mr. Qiao." Tao Bo's excitement had not yet worn off, and he clenched his fists tightly.

If he could tell other people about it, he would really want to talk to them all night long.

Of course Qiao Weiwei can't do that.

As for the others, it was even worse. Everyone was tired.

As for finding someone else, there is a confidentiality agreement. It's impossible to tell anyone about such a big thing. It's just as painful as not being able to show off to others when you win three gold medals in a row.

Forget it, bear with it.

Qiao Weiwei walked out of the elevator in her high heels, walked quickly into the company, and looked towards Lu Shan's office.

The office door was open and I could see clearly through the glass.

Qiao Weiwei stood on tiptoe and stared at him. She was so fascinated for a moment that she didn't even hear someone calling her "Ms. Qiao".

After a while, everyone left.

But Lu Shan didn't seem to be planning to leave. He casually opened a bucket of instant noodles, as if he was going to continue cooking them. He stared at the computer screen, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.

"Da da da."

The sound of high heels rang out, and at the same time there was a knock on the door. Lu Shan looked up at the door, only to see Qiao Weiwei standing at the door, smiling at him: "It's all done, aren't you going back to rest?"

"I took a nap in the afternoon, so I'm not sleepy now." Lu Shan said with a smile. "How about you? How come you have time to come here?"

"I got off work early, and I have some good news that I want to tell you in person."

Qiao Weiwei walked to the desk, and without saying anything about the good news, she took the instant noodles and threw them away. Then she opened the two bags in her hands, which contained prepared lunch boxes, cooked food, and even dumplings!
Lu Shan's eyes lit up, he was indeed hungry.

Lu Shan grabbed one with his hand, without even dipping it in vinegar, and threw it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Delicious!"

Qiao Weiwei saw how happy he was. She wanted to laugh too, but she held it back and said angrily, "Don't grab it with your hands. We have chopsticks!"

"The filling is also good. You can tell it's handmade as soon as you eat it. The ones made by machines have the meat in clumps when cooked, unlike this. It makes your mouth water. It's really good." Lu Shan picked up the chopsticks, held them in his mouth, and began to look for other seasonings in the bag.

Hearing the praise, Qiao Weiwei raised her eyebrows proudly. If you didn't know, you would think she did it.

Lu Shan was lowering his head and didn't notice her expression. Even if he noticed it, he wouldn't think it was a big deal, because there was no way these dumplings were made by her. She didn't have the time.

I used to eat this kind of food at home when I was a child. At that time, we would start working on it in the morning, mixing the dough, kneading the dough, and preparing the stuffing. It was not only a technical job, but also hard work.

But I heard that in the north, a meal may contain 100 or 200 dumplings.

There are not many of them here, only about thirty or so.

Lu Shan looked at the dumplings, took out a small plastic bowl, and said, "Come on, let's split it in half when we meet. You can try it too. It's delicious."

"By the way, why did you think of buying this?" Lu Shan asked curiously after eating two dumplings in a row.

"I've tried it once and found it delicious. No one can resist northern dumplings, especially those with pork and green onion fillings," said Qiao Weiwei.

Lu Shan chuckled.

So is Qiao Weiwei.

Lu Shan said, "What are you waiting for? I need to find a northerner to teach me how to make stuffing. I heard that the soul of northern dumplings is the stuffing."

"There are many food bloggers in Jiyue, and you can learn it online." Qiao Weiwei was stunned for a moment after she finished speaking, and immediately added: "However, cooking skills also depend on talent."

"Then I have a good talent for cooking instant noodles."

Lu Shan joked, his hands kept moving, typing away on the keyboard, and explained, "The software can be optimized a little, but it's just a small matter. I gave them seven days of paid leave so they can have the energy to continue working."

"You should also take care of your rest." Qiao Weiwei advised. "By the way, has Wu Jun come to see you again recently?"

"No, what's wrong?" Lu Shan said.

"He called me a few times." Qiao Weiwei said.

"Why am I calling you?" Lu Shan asked.

"He's complaining. There's been a lot of negative news recently, and sales have dropped. He doesn't dare to bother you, so he comes to me to complain." Qiao Weiwei said this, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "He also wants me to ask you if you have any better solution. He's also impatient."

"Not urgent."

Lu Shan stopped what he was doing, looked at Qiao Weiwei, and said, "Technology is one thing, and promotion and selling are another. Even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley. It's not that easy to fight back. It's better to take one step at a time. But, is this the good news you gave me?"

"Of course not." Qiao Weiwei smiled mysteriously. "Speaking of which, you should have known this good news first."

"Ok?"

"Since you couldn't get through on the phone, you contacted me regarding policy support," said Qiao Weiwei.

"Have the higher-ups agreed?!" Lu Shan said.

"Ah."

Qiao Weiwei nodded.

I wanted to see some excitement on Lu Shan's face, but he seemed to have expected it. Not only was he not excited, he even fell into deep thought after hearing this.

"Did you say how much money to give? Are there any specific requirements?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Shan asked.

Qiao Weiwei sighed in her heart, Lu Shan is indeed a workaholic and also a typical pragmatist.

"I've sent you the details via email. It means that we hope to provide the operating system for free in the military and scientific research fields of the country. We can also get 30% of the sales profits from state-owned enterprises and public institutions. As for other companies and individuals, it depends on what we plan to do."

"What about investment?" Lu Shan was concerned about money. Although he was not short of it now, the money invested by the state should not be wasted. Moreover, investment meant that the state would pay attention to it, and certain policies could give the green light for its implementation.

Qiao Weiwei swallowed the sushi in her mouth and said, "As for the money, the investment will be about 100 million, divided into three times. The first investment will be about 10 million. I don't have the final say on this number. The above means that we can discuss it later. 10 million is indeed too little."

Qiao Weiwei felt that her appetite was beginning to grow.

To her now, an investment of 10 million is just a very basic investment, just a simple test of the waters.

At this moment, Lu Shan had already opened his mailbox. There was indeed a document that had just arrived today. It contained a lot of content, and the details were clearly written. A simple summary of it was just the key points that Qiao Weiwei mentioned.

What Lu Shan cares about now is nothing more than investment and talents. As for talents, there is a high probability that they will not be supplied as talents are the most lacking. As for money, the higher-ups probably have no idea about the operating system, so they dare not make a particularly large initial investment. Perhaps as long as the country sees the results, the investment amount will be relaxed.

After all, the fatter your wallet, the more research you can do.

Moreover, the state proposed to provide the new operating system free of charge to relevant state departments and the military, which is not a big deal.

Lu Shan had no intention of charging any fees. It would be completely free for the public. This would attract more users in the early stages of promotion and also squeeze out the market for the Windows operating system, killing two birds with one stone.

After all, if there is a genuine free version, as long as the ecological chain is created, the public will definitely not choose the pirated free version!

However, in this case, the investment in the initial promotion will certainly not be recovered for the time being. If we can get more financial support, we will be able to do more promotion. As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush.

Of course, there is another most important reason for choosing free, that is, the operating system is not the most profitable. The most profitable thing is to create a complete ecological chain through the operating system and make money by using an ecological chain, which can make much more money than simply selling the system.

The operating system, as the core basic software, is like laying the foundation for building a house. Only with the foundation can a tall building be built on it. Now that it is free for the public to use, it is equivalent to letting everyone accept this foundation, and it will be easier to build a complete ecological chain in the future.
