Unparalleled True Technology

Wen Ming didn't know that when he left Harvard University, Cui Chuanming had already got the news he wanted most.

And Cui Chuanming did not report the news to Wen Ming immediately. Because in his opinion, even if there are prehistoric mosquitoes, it is impossible to extract dinosaur blood from them by such a coincidence.

The word prehistoric is very long, and dinosaurs were creatures 65 million years ago, and mosquitoes 30 million years ago can also be called prehistoric mosquitoes. What's more, the amber that sealed the prehistoric mosquito was not obtained by Cui Chuanming, but a friend of his mentor in the industry.

Wen Ming, who had no idea what he had missed, returned to his Apple company after asking David to help him continue to search for professionals like Cui Chuanming and his professor.

The release of the game Plants vs. Zombies has completely entered the regular stage, but this cannot stop Wen Ming from making money.

If I were Bill Gates, it would not be Cui Chuanming who came to greet me today, but his mentors, and even the real power figures of Harvard College.

Wen Ming knew that the main reason for Cui Chuanming's rejection of him today was not only because Cui Chuanming felt that his resurrection plan was impossible to realize, but also because he was poor!

With a weekly revenue of 7 million U.S. dollars, Plants vs. Zombies is a stand-alone game that does not require high-priced servers to accommodate the number of concurrent online users. Apart from staff salaries, there is almost no additional investment.

It can be said that 7 million US dollars can be regarded as a week's net profit.

But to those professors at Harvard University, what is $7 million?

Many of them have high salaries offered by big companies, and their living standards are very high. Moreover, many of them have their own research projects, and the research on genes can cost tens of millions of dollars, or even calculated in units of hundreds of millions.

You know, many professional research equipment are so expensive that ordinary people can't imagine.

No one believes that a person who has just earned 7 million dollars will give all the money to other people for research, so if it is only part of it, is it necessary to meet?

I still need to earn more money, whether it's for research fees later, or to start producing Apple products.

If you want to earn more money, it is impossible to do it in a short period of time with only one Plants vs. Zombies. Therefore, Wenming needs to develop new products.

Thanks to the cash flow brought by Plants vs. Zombies, Wen Ming's Apple company already has a second development team.

Many of you may be wondering why the game company that made Plants vs. Zombies recruited professionals like you.

In a newly built conference room inside Apple, Wen Ming sat at the main seat and said to the 12 employees below: That's because I never positioned Apple as a game company.

The 12 employees sitting here are almost all software design majors. Speaking of which, they can also develop small games similar to Plants vs. Zombies, but in fact, what they are least good at is developing games.

Wen Ming continued: When you joined the company, you should have seen our company's slogan: Born to change the world.

This sentence has been written on the gate of Apple, as well as on the background wall of the front desk, or on every desk in the company. For this sentence, whether it is a new employee who joined Apple or the first batch of employees who joined Apple, they are all skeptical.

Wen Ming also understood this very well.

I know many of you think that changing the world is just a slogan, but I want to say that it's not just a slogan.

In a few words, I expressed my vision for the future, and at the same time told the new employees,

After he was destined to have high demands, Wen Ming started to talk about the topic.

Apple's second project will be born in your development team. The name of this project is Instagram, and you can also call it a photo wall.

Hearing the name of this project, the 12 new employees were a little puzzled, because they had never heard of similar products, which shows that the photo wall is a brand new product.

But this is also normal, because only Wen Ming knows about this product in this world.

Instagram is ostensibly a software for beautifying photos, making them look better, or more interesting. But in fact, it is a social application.

After taking photos, users can choose to share their beautified photos through Instagram, and share them on their homepage, or other social websites, such as Facebook.

A piece of software that seems to have very simple functions in later generations was equivalent to a pioneer in 2009.

In Wen Ming's previous life, this software was born in October 2010, and its developer team consisted of only 13 people. Without any marketing means, this software, which took only 8 weeks to develop, had 100,000 registered users within a week of its launch, and then quickly covered more than 50 countries and established more than 700 online communities.

In September 2012, this software, which was created less than two years ago and a company with only 13 employees, was successfully acquired by Facebook for US$715 million. Through this acquisition, its founder personally gained more than $400 million in revenue.

And the investment of this company is only the two rounds of financing obtained in the early stage, the seed round and the A round of financing, with a total of 7.5 million US dollars in the two rounds.

Does Wen Ming have $7.5 million?

Of course there is!

Does Wen Ming have eight weeks?

Of course there is!

Does Wen Ming have 13 employees?

In fact, Wen Ming now has 50 employees.

I will tell you the functions required by this software, and even some of its program architecture patterns, and all you need to do is to develop this software within 3 weeks, and then let it go online.

After having the experience of using the mature version of this software, Wen Ming has a very deep understanding of this software. In his opinion, the original 8-week development time can be reduced to 3 weeks.

Hearing that there was only 3 weeks of development time, the 12 new employees finally couldn't sit still.

Boss, don't we need to discuss the functions of the new product?

Someone raised his hand and stood up and asked: I was an intern in a company before. Even if the software is simple, after the original version is developed, it needs to be tested, debugged, and even redesigned. Although I don't know The specific functions of the software you want to develop, but I don’t think it will be possible in 3 weeks.”

Wen Ming laughed, he didn't blame the employee for interrupting him, because what the employee said was very reasonable. Normally, 3 weeks is really not enough time to develop a brand new software and get it online.

But for Wen Ming, does the word normal really exist?

He didn't need the steps the employee said at all, because he had the experience of using the mature version of Instagram software in his mind. Even, including interface design and so on, he is also clear.

Combined with his knowledge of Apple's designers, he can definitely improve the experience of using this software.

It's like a completely unfamiliar jigsaw puzzle. Without a reference, it's hard to put it together in a short time. But what if there is a reference object?

Don't worry about these issues. As I said, I will tell you all the functions that the new product requires. All you need to do is to implement the functions I require.
