Chapter 418 Product Design
"Want to go for a walk?"

After dinner, Zhou Jing gently rubbed Gu Jia’s increasingly fat and bulging belly and said.

"are you tired?"

Gu Jia looked at the boy and said.

"Not tired."

"Let's go then!"

Gu Jia went back to the bedroom and changed her clothes into a long skirt. As her belly grew bigger, she rarely wore tight clothes now.

"Mom, do you need anything to buy?"

Zhou Jing looked at Gu's mother and said.

"No, there's nothing missing."

Mother Gu thought for a moment and said.

Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's arm and kept it that way all the way.

"One of my college roommates got married on National Day. I haven't been in touch with him for more than two years. I just found out that I was not the last single person in my college dormitory."

After coming to the big city, Gu Jia felt that she had been overly anxious about being urged to get married in the past two years.

"One of my high school roommates also got married on National Day."

Talking about classmates' marriages, Zhou Jing remembered that he had to give a share of money during the National Day. More than a year after graduating from university, his classmates started to get married one after another.

After leaving the residential building, Gu Jia walked slowly, took the boy's arm and asked, "Are you ready to go?"

"Don't go."

If you can avoid seeing your high school classmate Zhou Jing, then just send him the gift money. It’s just that it’s inconvenient to send money now because there is no mobile phone transfer function.

Gu Jia is pregnant now and can't go anywhere, so Zhou Jing must accompany her during the Golden Week.

"If the company is not busy, you can go there if you want."

Gu Jia would not keep the boy by her side all the time. Everyone has his or her own circle.

"I don't want to go. My parents are coming to BJ for National Day. Let your mom take a break. You don't have to go back for the time being while my mom is here."

Zhou Jing stopped and discussed. BJ had been taking care of Gu's mother for more than three months, and it would be more than four months by National Day. It was very hard to take care of a pregnant woman.

"Row."

Gu Jia nodded. Since her mother-in-law was coming to BJ during the National Day holiday, she would let her stay for a while and let her mother go back to Tangdu to rest.

In the evening, the residential areas in bustling metropolises are also quiet and peaceful. Old men and women exercise in the community square, and office workers who are off work also come to the square to exercise or play with their children.

"That little girl is so cute."

Gu Jia looked at a little girl playing on the slide in the children's playground in the square and smiled.

"Given our looks, the child will definitely be very cute."

Zhou Jing put one hand around Gu Jia's waist, touched her belly and said.

"That's not certain. It depends on whether the child will inherit our good qualities."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"definitely will."

Zhou Jing has confidence in his cubs. The children of the reborn should be more unique and intelligent.

"It's almost five months. Will Yang Wenwen's child go to kindergarten in the fall?"

During this period of time, Gu Jia could be said to have been counting the time every day, counting down like a senior high school student.

"Get ready."

Zhou Jing was afraid that Gu Jia would mention Yang Wenwen, but he would not avoid it deliberately if Gu Jia mentioned it. Gu Jia had known for a long time that Zhou Jing took care of Yang Wenwen. Gu Jia should have known that Zhou Jing would contact Yang Wenwen when he returned to Yulin City, but she didn't expect that they were in that kind of relationship.

"The last time I went to Experimental Middle School, I met Yang Wenwen who invited me to her home for dinner. She said she was looking for a kindergarten for her daughter."

Zhou Jing explained calmly and fearlessly.

Instead of hiding it, Zhou Jing might as well admit that he had dealings with Yang Wenwen. This way, Gu Jia would be less likely to think too much. Zhou Jing helped Yang Wenwen solve the pressure of life, and now let Yang Wenwen work part-time as the manager of the Innovation Internet Cafe. Gu Jia knew all this. It was natural for anyone to think that Yang Wenwen would treat Zhou Jing to a meal when he returned to Yulin City.

It would be abnormal if Zhou Jing said that he had no contact with Yang Wenwen after returning to Yulin City.

"The last time I saw Yang Wenwen's daughter was two years ago. She was very cute. She should be even cuter now. But a single-parent family will affect a child's personality to some extent. How is Yang Wenwen's child's personality now?"

Gu Jia smiled and sighed, hoping that her child would grow up quickly after being born.

"Now the child has a lively personality. In fact, the most important thing is to look at the attitude of the guardian who accompanies him. If the people around him are optimistic, the child's personality will be more lively. So you should be more optimistic in the future and don't always put on a tigress face to the child."

Zhou Jing said while holding Gu Jia's hand.

"I don't have as much patience as you, so I'll leave it to you to make the child happy."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"I'll comfort my daughter, and you can comfort my son."

Zhou Jing drew circles on Gu Jia's belly with his fingers.

"You are too biased towards girls. I should record your conversation and let my son listen to it later."

Gu Jia pinched the boy's hand.

"I'll record your video for my daughter to listen to as well."

Zhou Jing also didn't quite understand himself. Most people favored boys over girls, but he extremely favored girls over boys.

"I don't favor boys over girls."

Gu Jia does not favor boys over girls nor girls over boys. Regardless of whether the first child is a boy or a girl, she is prepared to have another one, and it would be best if she could have both a son and a daughter.

After watching the children playing in the children's playground in the community square for a while, the two left the square and went to the alley near the community.

There are various small shops in the alley, including restaurants, snack bars, clothing stores, sex shops, and electronics stores. The most common ones are snack bars.

"It's a disaster for greedy people to live in such a place."

Looking at the various snack shops, Gu Jia couldn't help drooling.

"Shouldn't it be heaven?"

Zhou Jing stopped outside a snack bar and thought about what to eat.

"This is a paradise for people like you who can eat a lot without gaining weight. What do you want to eat?"

Gu Jia looked in the store to see if there was anything safe for pregnant women to eat. "Let's have some grilled cold noodles."

Zhou Jing didn't like snacks. It would be boring to go shopping with a woman without eating something.

Gu Jia was greedy, but for the sake of her child's health, she only took one bite.

After walking until nightfall, Zhou Jing returned home, turned on his computer and checked the emails from the manager of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. He processed a few urgent emails, turned off the computer, and went back to the bedroom to massage Gu Jia's legs.

"My figure has visibly changed."

Gu Jia held her belly and sighed.

"Different body shapes have different beauty."

Zhou Jing does not have high requirements for girls' figures. In Zhou Jing's opinion, Gu Jia had a good figure before she became pregnant, Yang Wenwen's slightly plump figure is also good, and BBW girls also have a unique charm. Zhou Jing thinks that some figures are not ugly, but lack the eyes to discover their beauty.

The next day Zhou Jing went to the company. By the end of the month, the revenue for that month had roughly come out.

Executive Director and Deputy Financial Manager Tang Yuan calculated the company's revenue for this month. They completed less than 30 million projects in a month. In addition, Happy Elimination and Rhythm Master brought in around 35 million, of which 20 million came from copyright sales. Based on last month's profit margin, this month's net profit is about 31 million.

Because the game is under continuous development and updating, the sale of copyright is a phased contract, which will need to be renewed or a supplementary agreement signed based on the progress of the game development.

The high profit this month is mainly due to the high profits from Happy Elimination and Rhythm Master, as well as the income from copyright sales. To be more precise, it is due to the low development cost of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. itself. Of course, 49% of all the revenue from these two games will be divided into Penguin.

As Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. continues to make profits and its profit margin increases rapidly after recovering its investment, the IT industry is indeed making people rich quickly. Based on its current operating status, it can smoothly produce mobile phones next year.

"Starting next month, I'll increase the monthly salary of Wang Tao, Li Jianwei, and Qin Zhengyu by 50,000 yuan, the planner of King Summoning by 20,000 yuan, the project team members who have been with the company for three months will have their base salary increased by 1,000 yuan, the administration, human resources, and finance staff who have been with the company for three months will have their base salary increased by 500 yuan, and Sister Tang will get a 10,000 yuan increase first."

Zhou Jing took a quick look at the financial report and said to Tang Yuan.

The company's current team can be considered veterans, and the programmers recruited are all strong. The company's performance has improved by leaps and bounds, and the employees' wages should be appropriately increased to stimulate productivity. Zhou Jing brought back a project worth about 300 million yuan, so it is inevitable for employees to work overtime. If you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it well.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Tang Yuan took out his notebook and took notes quickly.

"Don't tell them the specific salary increase rules yet. Sister Tang will make a detailed report first."

After making arrangements for Tang Yuan, Zhou Jing summoned Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu and Li Jianwei to the lounge to arrange tasks.

"Brother Wang and Brother Li, please take a look at these projects. The information system plans for the county hospital and the city's first hospital need to be completed as soon as possible. Are there any problems before October?"

Zhou Jing handed the information system project information of various units in Qingxian New City and the information system project information of the First Hospital of Yulin High-tech Zone to Wang Tao and Li Jianwei.

"no problem."

Although time was a bit tight, Wang Tao and Li Jianwei did not make excuses.

"What kind of talents are needed, just ask the human resources department to assist in recruiting. As for the operations department, if there is a shortage of manpower, Brother Qin can ask the human resources department to assist in recruiting."

The company will only get busier and busier in the future, human resources must keep up, and the company must ensure sufficient productivity.

"it is good."

"It's different when President Zhou takes action."

The three of them looked at the project information Zhou Jing brought back and were very surprised. A project worth about 300 million yuan, and the boss brought back a project worth 300 million yuan in just four or five days. This boss is really a hidden talent.

Qin Zhengyu, the director of operations, also felt inferior. The resources he had accumulated in the workplace for more than ten years were insignificant compared to the fledgling young boss in front of him. It turned out that there was a reason for everyone's success.

“It’s all our joint credit.”

Zhou Jing was very humble. The company's affairs could not be separated from the dedication of several backbone members. These three backbone members were indeed very capable and managed the company very well. Otherwise, even if Zhou Jing had resources, it would be useless if he did not have the productivity to keep up with the company.

Zhou Jing held a brief meeting with technical backbones, and after discussing the business, everyone went back to their own business.

After Wang Tao and the other two left, Zhou Jing called two digital product designers and the newly hired electronic engineer Zhang Yao to the lounge for a meeting, mainly to understand the design progress of Bluetooth speakers, simple version MP3, children's phone watches, etc.

Bai Xiyao has already been negotiating with a company in Tangdu about the acquisition of an electronics factory. That company mainly produces Nokia mobile phone accessories, and its performance has not been good in the past two years. Bai Xiyao is 80% to 90% sure that she can buy it, and is currently negotiating the price.

"Zhang Yao, let's talk about the technical issues first."

Zhou Jing went straight to the point and spoke to the boy who looked like a science and engineering guy.

"As long as the Bluetooth control program is fixed for the speakers, there will be no other technical problems. For the MP3, according to Mr. Zhou's idea, I designed two solutions. This one has its own mobile phone memory card and is a closed design. Buying an MP3 is equivalent to buying the memory card together. This one is an external memory card. The memory card and the card reader are separate. The next step is to assemble the experimental product after the electronic components are returned."

Zhang Yao moved the computer screen towards Zhou Jing and introduced the designed product according to the 3D illustration.

"Use the second option for MP3, and the speaker can have a memory card slot. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Jing directly decided on the MP3 plan.

In 11, college students have basically phased out MP3 and MP4. They can still be sold for two or three years among junior and high school students. Zhou Jing has subverted the form of MP3 with a brand-new design, which is equivalent to adding a battery and audio converter to the card reader. It does not use a display screen and has fewer functions. The minimalist design greatly reduces the cost. Traditional MP3s cost more than one hundred yuan, while Zhou Jing's model costs less than fifteen yuan, of course not including memory cards and headphones.

It is equivalent to buying a card reader and giving away a music listening function, which is very suitable for students.

A product like this priced at thirty yuan will definitely sell well.

"Understand."

After deciding on the MP3 plan, Zhang Yao went on to introduce the phone watch, a product mainly aimed at kindergartens and primary school students. Based on his own understanding and programming skills, Zhou Jing upgraded and improved the phone watches currently on the market, adding recording, one-touch dialing and voice dialing functions.

After listening to Zhang Yao’s interior design, Zhou Jing checked the design plans of the two exterior designers.

After Zhou Jing’s last guidance, the two’s designs became much more pleasing to the eye. They were no longer bound by the product styles currently on the market and made bold designs.

"That's how it should be. After we take care of the details, we can make a model. Help Zhang Yao more and make a batch of test products as soon as possible after the design is completed."

Zhou Jing looked at the exterior design and said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

"."

After the meeting, Zhou Jing went to the game studio to check the development status of King's Call.

In order to better develop the King's Summoning game, Zhou Jing asked Qin Zhengyu to recruit professional game character modelers last week. Qin Zhengyu actually poached two people from the Qin's Moon modeling team, a character planner from the Tian Long Ba Bu online game team, one person from the Three Kingdoms game team, and also recruited a character cartoonist with a degree from Gome, forming a seven-person art and modeling team.

There will be no economic benefits from "Summoning of Kings" in the short term. The game team now has more than 30 people in total, and the annual salary cost alone is more than 15 million. With such a large investment, Zhou Jing has to pay attention.

Now that it has come to this, we can't be timid and think about saving costs. Zhou Jing thought for a while and asked Qin Zhengyu to be responsible for recruiting an undergraduate student majoring in ancient costume research from ZG to provide support for the character modeling team.

Qin Zhengyu has no idea about the game King's Summon. If he can develop this game, it will surely be popular in the huge domestic online market. The problem is that this game is too difficult to develop. There are many characters in a 5V5 MOBA game, and the development difficulty is greater than that of ordinary online games.

Zhou Jing had no way out. If the first phase of development failed, he would continue to develop the mobile game version. If he invested enough money, he would definitely succeed.

The news of salary increase spread quickly in the company. It was undoubtedly good news for everyone in the company, especially the first batch of people who joined the company. At that time, the company had just been established and there was no hope. Unexpectedly, it became so successful in less than five months. The most important thing was that the boss was generous and they were glad that they came to the right company.

After handling the company's main affairs, Zhou Jing personally participated in the King's Summoning development team, and left a series of matters of other project teams to Wang Tao and Li Jianwei.

Before he knew it, it was noon. Zhou Jing, like the project team that was working overtime, ate boxed lunches in the company. He ordered the meals in advance on the company's internal meal ordering software. After lunch, he used the break time to hold a meeting for all employees.
