Chapter 198: Opportunity to Make Trouble

Fang Shu led them to the mobile phone sample testing room of the product department, but they talked about R&D. "Do you want to build a system from scratch?"

"Not necessarily from scratch. It depends on how much support I get. I'm not stupid. Chen Fan and I alone can't handle the huge amount of code and debugging work required for a commercial system."

"Systems, for example, lack references, and the cost of trial and error is really too high." Fang Shu smiled. "Last time, a media came and kept asking why we didn't make the system from scratch. I said he was treating us as a charity technology research lab. We do have technology in our name, but first and foremost we are a company."

“Everything is about interests, and interests are the driving force.”

"You are so old, and you are saying such things..." Fang Shu glanced at Guo Qiwen, who smiled calmly, "That's true. Look at the R&D department. They were all very energetic when the deadline was coming, but now that the task has become research, they are not interested anymore. Developing a mobile phone system is not a serious scientific research. If the product doesn't make money, but instead burns money, the boss must be crazy."

"So that's why you use someone else's open source system? Why did you choose Win?"

"Besides win, what else? You mean Robert, who has some momentum now? When we started the project, he was nothing."

"So what do you think of Robert's future?"

Fang Shu had completely ignored Li Yan's intention and just communicated purely, "We only have eighteen people working on this system, and the underlying structure code was developed using the exhaustive method."

"To be honest, it's amazing that a computer system can achieve such functions on a mobile phone." Li Yan expressed his respect.

"But the Robert system may be upgraded and maintained by people all over the world."

"This is the first point. The key is the software ecosystem. Software manufacturers do not have the ability to support multiple system adaptations, and there is no need to frantically develop different versions of software. If a later system cannot get software support, it will only be a castle in the air. There can only be one winner in the battle of multiple systems. I agree with you that the Robert system is likely to survive this melee, because not every mobile phone company has the ability and willingness to develop a system, but every company can use Robert.

"Minister Fang, Robert's future is very scary, and once the ecosystem begins to form, the expansion speed will be very exaggerated. It is not easy to take food from others. I think the most important point is to seize the ecosystem. Once all major software have adapted to their own systems, they will have no reason and motivation to adapt to Robert."

"You have a lot of ideas, and they are good ones, but it's much harder than you think." Fang Shu shook his head. "For this capacitive screen alone, we found Siming, the only company in China that has this technology, and it took us two months to get a good result. We paid a lot of money."

“Have you ever thought about developing software?”

Li Yan's question stunned Fang Shuwen, developing software?
"Software development is not essentially a technical job. You have had a similar view from the beginning. This is also my professional field - making products. Making products is based on needs, and the ultimate goal is to meet needs. Being able to propose needs and solutions is the core of software development. Once you have an idea that can be implemented, it is just a matter of time to implement it."

Fang Shu answered more and more patiently. Even if one took away the fact that he was a junior high school student, what Li Yan said today was much more nutritious than those reporters and even some of his colleagues, which made him somewhat happy.

“This is not the focus of the Chuang Clan’s work.”

"Of course, we can't just build a mobile phone and create an ecosystem at the same time."

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but stare at Li Yan. He still remembered the ambitions that Li Yan had expressed in the dormitory.

After walking around the mobile phone sample testing room, Fang Shu said with emotion: "When we were working on UI, the prototypes were not yet available, so we had to print them out and manually switch papers for interactive testing. Those were magical days. Now it's different. So many real mobile phones have been sold, and the prototypes at various stages are used for experiments. It's much better than before. Those who came before us plant trees, and those who come after us enjoy the shade."

"Can we get some shade?"

When Li Yan said this, the other three were shocked.

Fang Shu looked at Li Yan for a long while before he said leisurely, "Don't you have to go to class?"

Chen Fan immediately raised his hand, "I use it, but he doesn't."

Fang Shu looked at Guo Qiwen in shock, "How can you be so foolish?"

Guo Qiwen shook his head, "This is not a joke, I am serious."

Is this world crazy? How can a junior high school kid openly not study? And this kid is a genius... Fang Shu was suddenly stunned. Maybe just because he is a genius, he doesn't need to study?

What an extremely advanced educational perspective! It’s worthy of being my alma mater!
"Want me to make some trouble too?" He stopped and looked at Li Yan, who was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye. "Li Yan, when you first said you wanted to build a system, were you serious?"

"of course."

Okay, it's nice to have some fun.

"This is my business card. Also... add me on QQ. I have some tool kits. They are not secret weapons, but they should save you two a lot of effort." Fang Shu fumbled in his pocket for a long time and took out a business card and stuffed it into Li Yan's pocket. Then he watched Li Yan staring at the closed door of the sample testing studio.

"I'll talk to my boss later. If he agrees with this nonsense, I can open a small test bench in my office and give you a sample machine to try out."

Before Li Yan had time to express her gratitude, Guo Qiwen took the initiative to shake hands with her.

"Minister Fang also has a heart for educating people!"

"Just consider it as a case of them making a fuss. I can't use the test bench for the time being." Fang Shu rubbed his short hair, looking very energetic. "The Chuang Clan has some feelings and dreams. When we meet such a talented child, we will definitely try to help if we can."

As they talked, they also quietly paid attention to what the two teenagers in front of them who were chatting happily were saying.

"Chen Fan, eighteen people can create a commercial system. My confidence has doubled."

"I think so too. I thought it took hundreds of people several years to study it."

Fang Shu’s smile froze. So you two still think it’s easy, right?

After chatting for a while, it was time for them to leave. Fang Shu was worried about ruining the two teenagers' interest, so he specifically emphasized that they should wait for the boss's opinion and not let them make trouble right away.

As a result, Li Yan said that they were not in a hurry because "it was not the right time yet" and they could not renovate Fang Villa.

Before leaving, Fang Shu also asked Li Yan a question that she couldn't answer:
"Do you have a lot of romantic relationships at school?"

Is it really okay to ask a fourteen-year-old boy this kind of question?

However, Li Yan is also very interested in this question. He has a clear self-awareness - tall, handsome and strong.

From the perspective of a junior high school student, he is very rich.

It should indeed be a day full of flowers, but it seems like nothing is happening?
In fact, there is indeed a large group of girls who become crazy about Li Yan as soon as they see her. Unfortunately, Li's mind is full of other things and there is no space for such lewd words. The crazy words are thrown out as soon as they enter her ears.

So he got a deafening nickname that spread among the girls...

"Holy monk".

I don’t know how he reacted when he heard it.

When they returned to the dormitory, their roommates pestered the two to talk about their experiences in founding the tribe. Li Yan said that it was not convenient for her to brag about herself, so she handed it over to Chen Fan. Chen Fan did not fail in his mission and praised Li Yan so much that she even blushed.

At one point, I even suspected that it was a case of flattery.

What does it mean that "even the boss of the founding clan who was in charge of the rear was shocked"?

But it didn’t matter. As long as his roommates were happy to listen and Chen Fan was happy to talk, it was enough. He still had some things to do - the schedule.

With so many things on my mind every day, it is easy to lose focus and waste time. Once I waste time, I become extremely anxious and lose focus even more, forming a vicious cycle.

Wasting time every day on what to do and what not to do will only eat up the little rest time you have left, not to mention improving your skills in a planned way, so a schedule is a must.

Gradually accumulate results during training, use the results to obtain more resources, and use the resources to nourish training.

But apart from physical education classes, the basketball training that we have agreed to train with everyone, and the training with Chen Fan at a fixed time, most other things depend on my condition, such as writing songs, drawing, and writing articles... It doesn't mean that you are suitable to do it if you arrange to do it today.

Li Yan was thinking about it when there was a sudden beeping sound from the computer. Wei Yunzhi sent a message after a long time.

A photo of a pink cake in a window, with the name of the product next to it being...

December fifteenth.
