Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 38: Photo Wall

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

At the same time, Cui Chuanming did not notify Wenming of the news at the first time. Because in his opinion, even if there were prehistoric mosquitoes, it was impossible to coincidentally extract dinosaur blood from it.

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

I didn't know what Wenming had missed. After explaining that I had David help to continue to find, similar to Cui Chuanming and his professors, he returned to his own Apple company.

植物 The sale of "Plant Vs Zombies" has been fully formalized, but this cannot allow Wenming to stop making money on his own.

"If I were Bill Gates, today I will meet you, not Cui Chuanming, but his mentor, or even a real figure at Harvard College."

Tong Wenming knows the main reason why Cui Chuanming rejected him today, in addition to Cui Chuanming's feeling that his "resurrection" plan is impossible to achieve, but also because he is 'poor'!

A weekly revenue of $ 7 million, Plants vs. Zombies is a stand-alone game. It does not require a high-priced server that can accommodate simultaneous online users. There is almost no additional investment other than staff salaries.

I can say that 7 million US dollars can be counted as a week's net profit.

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

的 Many of them hold high salaries from large companies, and their living standards are very high. In addition, many of them have their own research projects, and the research gene is tens of millions of dollars, even calculated in billions.

You must know that many professional research equipment can't be imagined by ordinary people with high prices.

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

"I need to make more money, whether it's for later research costs or to start making Apple products."

If you want to make more money, it is impossible to do it in a short time with just a "Plant Vs Zombies". Therefore, Wenming needs to develop new products.

Thanks to the cash flow brought about by Plants vs. Zombies, Wenming Apple has already had a second development team.

"Many of you may be wondering why the game company that created" Plant Vs Zombies "will recruit you as professionals."

In a newly-constructed conference room inside Apple, Wen Ming sat on the main floor and said to the 12 employees below: "That's because I have never positioned Apple as a gaming company."

的 The 12 employees sitting there are almost all software design professionals. Speaking of them, they can also develop small games similar to "Plant Vs Zombies", but in fact, they are the least good at developing games.

Wu Wenming continued: "When you join the company, you should see our company's slogan: Born to change the world."

This sentence has been written on the door of Apple Inc., and on the background wall of the front desk, or on every desk of the company. Regarding this sentence, both the new employees and the first employees to join Apple are skeptical.

He also knew this very well.

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

In a few words, he expressed his ambitions for the future, and also told the new employees that after he was destined to have high requirements, Wen Ming began 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."

When I heard the name of the project, the 12 new employees were a little confused because they had never heard of similar products at all, which showed that the photo wall was a brand new product.

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

On the surface, Instagram is a software that can beautify photos, which can make photos look better or more interesting. But in fact, it is a social application.

After taking photos, users can choose to share their beautified photos via Instagram and share them on their own homepage, or other social media sites, such as Facebook.

软件 A software that seems to have very simple functions in later generations, but it was equivalent to the founder in 2009.

In the previous life of Wenming Ming, this software was born in October 2010, and its developer team has only 13 people. Without any marketing methods, this software has only been developed for 8 weeks, and there were 100,000 registered users in the first week of launch. It 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 its 13-person company were successfully acquired by Facebook for $ 715 million. The founder passed this acquisition and personally gained more than $ 400 million in revenue.

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, and the two rounds totaled $ 7.5 million.

Does Tong Wenming have $ 7.5 million?

Of course there is!

Wenming has eight weeks?

Of course there is!

Does Tong Wenming have 13 employees?

Actually, Wenming has 50 employees now.

"I will tell you the functions required by this software, and even some of its program architecture modes, and what you need to do, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com developed this software in 3 weeks , And then get it online. "

After having experience with 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.

I heard that only 3 weeks of development time, 12 new employees finally couldn't sit still.

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

Someone raised their hand to signal and stood up and asked, "I have previously interned at a company. Even if the software is as simple as it is, after the original version is developed, it needs to be tested and debugged, and even redesigned. What kind of function does the software you want to develop, but I think it will not be possible in three weeks. "

Wu Wenming laughed, and he did not blame the employee for interrupting him, because the employee was very reasonable. Normally, 3 weeks is really not enough to develop a brand new software and get it online.

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

He doesn't need the steps that the employee said because he has the experience of using the mature version of Instagram in his mind. He even knew the interface design and so on.

再 If you add the knowledge of his Apple designers, he can definitely improve the use of this software.

Is like a completely new puzzle toy. It is difficult to make it in a short time without a reference. But what if there is a reference object?

不用 "Don't worry about these issues, I said that, I will tell you all the features needed for the new product, all you need to do is to achieve those features I requested."
