Chapter 275 Software Development Kits
Shen Lang thought for a while, then picked up the microphone: "Actually, as Mr. Ma said, if you can't keep people, either you don't have enough money, or you don't have a sense of accomplishment."

"Many of our entrepreneurs tend to fall into a misunderstanding. No matter what they do, they like to do everything by themselves. In this way, not only themselves are tired, but also the employees feel tired. He has to deal with the boss while completing the work. In fact, many of our entrepreneurs do not have For some professional skills, for example, Mr. Ma and I don’t know how to write code, so we will never directly tell the programmer: you want this, you want that, we will only tell the programmer: I want to realize a function, you come Help me develop it."

"Giving employees a certain amount of freedom to play can not only satisfy the employees' sense of accomplishment, but also promote the improvement of employees' abilities, and the boss is also relaxed. This is a win-win situation."

"As for what the host said, I have no choice but to spend several times the salary to recruit people. I am a complete layman in programming and have no decent entrepreneurial experience. I am not as eloquent as Mr. Ma. If I can get people to follow me without salary, there is no other way, then I can only spend high salaries to poach people.”

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Jack Ma rolled his eyes secretly. If you say that Shen Lang is a layman in programming, he will believe it, but if you say that he is not good at eloquence, he will not believe it even if he is killed.

The host was also happy: "It seems that our entrepreneurs being eloquent is a plus."

"Okay, next question, the lady in yellow."

The woman stood up and asked: "My problem is similar to that of the older brother before. Just like what some guests said, I gave him a high salary, gave him a certain amount of space to develop independently, and even gave them a certain amount of dividends, but Those capable employees are still very proud, I feel that those who work part-time now are uncles, and our bosses are like grandchildren."

These words made the entrepreneurs present empathize with each other, especially in the early stage of starting a business, many bosses found it very hard.

The host glanced around, and finally threw the topic to Shen Lang.

"Mr. Shen, what do you think of this lady's question?"

Shen Lang shrugged: "As you said, to be a boss is to be a grandson, and a boss who can't be a good grandson is not a good boss."

Before the words fell, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Jack Ma and the others couldn't help laughing and clapping their hands.

Afterwards, Shen Lang added another sentence.

"Actually, many of our entrepreneurs have a misunderstanding, that is, watching others sit in the office drinking tea when they are bosses, and then casually earn tens of millions a month. In fact, this is not the case. Being a boss, especially In the early stage of starting a business, the pressure and responsibilities that the boss has to bear are unimaginable when you are an employee.”

"So we ordinary people must be cautious about starting a business. Don't underestimate the risks and hardships of starting a business. If you just want to make yourself more comfortable, then you don't need to start a business, because starting a business must be a painful and tangled thing."

The host continued to roll the roll: "The man in the plaid suit, please ask your question."

The man took the microphone, stood up and asked, "It's still about financing. I want to know if the bosses have any good suggestions."

This time the host turned the topic to Jack Ma: "Mr. Ma, Ali has just received $10 billion in financing from Yahoo. Do you have any experience to share with you?"

Jack Ma pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, the root of financing is to let the other party recognize your value, so first of all, you must have a clear understanding of your project. Many entrepreneurs tend to underestimate the value of their projects. This is a big taboo. , because of your first financing, if most of the shares are taken away, just like Mr. Shen’s analogy, if a piece of cake is taken away by a large portion, it will definitely make subsequent investors hesitate, because the cake is not enough What should we do if we divide?"

The man asked worriedly after hearing the words: "Then if the quotation is too high, will it scare away investors?"

"As long as your project is really valuable, investors will not give up easily. They will take the trouble to negotiate the price with you, and then find out all kinds of problems in your project. As the saying goes: the one who dislikes the goods is the one who buys People, don't be merciful when encountering this kind of person, and kill them severely."

After Jack Ma finished speaking, many entrepreneurs at the scene couldn't help laughing.

In the ensuing [-] Questions about Entrepreneurship session, several entrepreneurs raised their questions. After the four of Shen Lang answered, this session ended, and finally entered the cruel elimination session.

This link belongs to the scoring mechanism. It is Shen Lang's turn to ask the entrepreneurs questions, and score them based on the entrepreneurs' projects. The top 32 scores will enter the next round.

The man who believed in his business vision before was inevitably dismissed in this round. It was not because Guo Fanshen publicized his personal revenge, but because he had no project of his own, and the few ideas he proposed were not perfect. Shen Lang only gave him Score a passing grade of six.

In the next few days, the recording of the program went very smoothly and progressed very quickly. While recording the program, Jack Ma couldn't put it down more and more for the Meizu M6.

When Chen Tianqiao started Shanda Box, Jack Ma praised Chen Tianqiao as a genius without hesitation. In fact, Jack Ma was willing to try any channel that could improve Alibaba's business.

This Meizu M6 is very perfect both in terms of appearance design and software and hardware functions. The sales volume in the future will definitely not be bad, and the prospect of mobile shopping is also his dream. It was just because the mobile phone hardware could not support it.

But the more this is the case, the more unwilling Jack Ma is: "Mr. Shen, can you release this product later? Otherwise, even if I ask someone to make an application based on the star system, users will not be able to install it at that time."

Shen Lang smiled and patted Jack Ma's arm: "Mr. Ma doesn't need to worry about this. What the Xingchen system needs to do is open the platform. We have developed a Xingchen application store, and all third-party applications can be accessed by users on it. to download."

Jack Ma stared at Shen Lang for a long time, and couldn't help feeling secretly, originally he was very confident in his vision, and felt that no one in the domestic business world could match him, but after meeting Shen Lang, he found that this man was 16 years younger than himself The young people in this area are not inferior to themselves at all.

On May 20th, the recording of the Win in Huaxia finals ended. Shen Lang and Jack Ma returned to Shanghai together. The two parties signed a cooperation agreement, and Alibaba also officially obtained the software development kit of the star system.

Almost at the same time, Star Technology, which was established less than two months ago, announced the release of this software development kit based on the Star system to all software developers.

That is to say, no matter who it is, they can use this toolkit to make mobile applications based on the star system.

Although this news did not cause any waves among ordinary netizens, it caused an uproar among software developers.

Software developers speculated one after another about the origin of this star system, which dared to play tricks in front of the Symbian system.

In 2006, Symbian had not been acquired by Nokia. Before the Android system, the Symbian system occupied more than 60% of the global market share.

Last year, the total number of mobile phones equipped with Symbian system in the world exceeded [-] million.

There is no doubt that the Symbian system at this time is the well-deserved overlord of the mobile terminal. Almost all companies, studios, and individuals doing mobile software development will use the software development kit of the Symbian system for development.

"What the hell is the star system? I've never heard of it. It's true that any cat or dog can be a platform these days?"

"Hehe, sensationalism, maybe another company started to speculate on concepts, trying to boost the company's stock price."

"Just checked, this Xingchen Technology has been established for less than two months, and it doesn't even have a suitable hardware, so it's really shameless to lie to people to help them work for nothing."

Not only in China, the software development kit of Star System was spread on foreign websites, but also received ridicule from many software developers. The reason is also very simple. To build a platform, you must first have hardware support, and you don’t even have a carrier. Out of embarrassment?

He Xiaopeng is not impatient about this, he believes that the Meizu M6 will definitely achieve good sales, and then he will be able to slap those people in the face.

Shen Lang was not as optimistic as He Xiaopeng.

"The Star system is just a primary platform for you to accumulate experience. The main energy of your team now is to focus on the follow-up mobile phone open system. The hegemony of the Symbian system is not so easy to challenge. This time the software development tools Bags are just out there to test the waters and try to get some individuals and studios on board."

The more basic things are, the more difficult it is to do. Even though Shen Lang has already made sufficient psychological preparations, facing the one-sided ridicule on the Internet, to be honest, he is still somewhat chilled.

"It depends on whether the sales of Meizu M6 can lift a gap under the hegemony of the Symbian system."

Although most developers on the Internet are dismissive of Star System, many mainland Internet companies still show due attention.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. It is not a secret in the circle that the boss behind Star Technology is Shen Lang. As the top group of people in the Internet industry in the Mainland, Shen Lang's every move naturally attracted many colleagues. attention.

Penguin City, Penguin Headquarters.

Brother Xiao Ma downloaded the software toolkit announced by the Star System at the first time. In terms of programming, Brother Xiao Ma's ability is beyond doubt. Not as bad as it says online.

Brother Ma immediately called Zhang Zhidong to the office.

Zhang Zhidong was also a little confused about Shen Lang's motives: "Mr. Ma, what do you think this Shen Lang is thinking? The functions of mobile phones are obviously not mature enough, and the development potential of the PC terminal is far from reaching its peak. Instead of doing PC-side applications, what kind of mobile-side system does he want to do?"

Brother Xiao Ma was also puzzled: "Yeah, does he think that mobile phones will replace computers in the past two years?"

"It's impossible. It's technically impossible." Zhang Zhidong shook his head without thinking.

Brother Xiaoma took out the Nokia N72 mobile phone he bought recently. This is already the best mobile phone on the market. It can realize some Internet functions and relatively complete multimedia functions. However, it only has 20MB of running memory and 352x288 video resolution. The rate is still far from being comparable to that of a computer.

"Then what is he thinking?" Little Ma couldn't help feeling a little headache. He didn't believe that such a simple question would not be seen by Shen Lang. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. What kind of monster is this guy doing?
For the opponent Shen Lang, he underestimated him at the beginning, but he paid a terrible price. Since then, he never dared to underestimate him again. He knew very well that there must be a battle between YY and QQ. On the cruel track, only one family can reach the finish line in the end, and the others will be destroyed halfway.

Zhang Zhidong suddenly thought: "I heard that Shen Lang seems to have invested in an MP3 factory in Zhujiang last year. Could this star system be just an MP3 system? Are we too nervous?"

Brother Xiao Ma shook his head firmly: "Impossible, we can see some clues from this development kit. This system is definitely not as simple as MP3. If it is just an MP3 system, there is no need for such a complicated underlying framework. Definitely a mobile product."

Zhang Zhidong had no doubts about Xiao Ma's major, but this made him even more puzzled.

"Mr. Ma, why don't we inquire with the factory in Zhujiang? See if we can get any news."

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Zhidong came up with an idea.

Brother Xiao Ma's eyes lit up: "Well, this method is worth a try."

However, when Zhang Zhidong tried to find the phone number of Huang Zhang, Huang Zhang kept secret about the Meizu M6 and did not disclose any useful information. Xiao Ma proposed to visit Meizu, but Huang Zhang refused.

The reason for the refusal is also very good. He is busy distributing goods to the agent now, and he is not in the Pearl River at all, so he can't receive him.

This is not an excuse made by Huang Zhang, but he is really busy. On June 6st, the Meizu M20 press conference will be held. In order to maintain the sense of mystery, he did not start to distribute goods to agents until the [-]th. .

In addition to preparing for the Meizu M6 press conference, he really experienced what it means to be too busy to hit the back of his head.

Not only Xiao Ma is interested in the star system, Chen Tianqiao is also very concerned.

The Shanda Box is completely obsolete due to the ban on it, but the sales of the Shanda Yibao remote control are not bad, which also rekindled Chen Tianqiao's hope. Now that he heard that Shen Lang has also developed a mobile terminal product, he naturally wants to Let's see what Shen Lang did.

Li Yanhong from Baidu and Li Kaifu from Google also called Shen Lang one after another. They wanted to inquire about the situation of the Star system. Of course, Shen Lang would not disclose it. He just said that he could give them two tickets for the press conference on June 6st.
