Chapter 1094: Expertise in Digging Pit

For the next few days, it was a nightmare for several developers of Dream Tower.

They first found several relatively strong commercial software companies and asked them to help develop the control system adapted to the "Dream Tower".

In their view, the Dream Tower is just a tower, how complicated can it be?

After getting the quotation from the commercial software company, they were dumbfounded, and there was no quotation from a commercial software company, which was less than 1 billion US dollars!

Moreover, the development cycle is recorded in five years!

"Dream Tower is too complex a system, and it can even be said to be one of the most complex and sophisticated systems we have ever seen. Even this kind of quotation is difficult for us to complete. If we want to sign an agreement, we cannot accept any form The time limit.” This is what an Oracle engineer said to the developers, “If you can’t accept this condition, even if you are willing to spend 1 billion US dollars, please forgive us for not being able to complete this task.”

Seeing that these people didn't understand, the engineer said: "The quotation of 1 billion US dollars is indeed too exaggerated, but to program the control system of this tower, we need to mobilize the most elite forces, learn or even reinvent a language from scratch. Control the dream tower. The difficulty of developing such a control system is already comparable to that of developing a mainstream commercial software. Considering the manpower, material resources and marginal costs we wasted, $1 billion is not a lot.”

Think about it, if Microsoft or Oracle could have developed a brand new system, but they put this investment and manpower and material resources into the Dream Tower, delaying the development of the new system, how much money will they themselves lose? This is the so-called marginal cost.

Although I still don't understand why a tower is so complicated and it takes five years for the best talents, the developers finally took out 700 million U.S. dollars obediently and handed it over to "Lazy God Code".

The friends of "Lazy Code" worked very neatly. After less than half an hour, the modified code was sent to the developer.

The developers didn't know what to say, just something like this, $700 million?

After getting the control program of the Dream Tower, the developers can finally try to design a new dream house.

When the villa-type dream house was finally able to move back and forth freely on the dream tower, several developers were almost crying.

Hooking the Dream House to the Dream Tower, and running it experimentally for less than an hour, the developers encountered another problem.

Power out.

The engineers came to cry and complain: "Boss, this dream tower consumes too much power. Our transmission lines can't afford it at all. The power grid said that the energy consumption of the dream tower has affected the power supply in the city, so they cut off our power supply." line..."

The developers were dumbfounded, so they could only find someone to consult again. This time, the engineer of Lazy God Yafei answered him: "Oh, our dream house is completely made of metal hydrogen and special printing materials. It is very It is strong, but very light. I think you are processed by a third-party processing factory. The material they use is steel. The density is too high. Many places in the dream tower use magnetic adsorption, which increases the weight and consumes exponentially. increase."

"Then what to do?"

The engineer spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

The developers of Dream Tower finally had to make a difficult decision. They paid the 850 million design fee of Wanke Design Office, and finally succeeded in becoming a full-time official. They got the certification of "Dream House", and all of them were produced by Lazy God Yafei. , but the asking price of the lazy God Yafei for these villa-type dream homes... is really very high.

Developers can only pinch their noses and bear it.

But then, they discovered another important problem. Although their dream house can be connected to the dream tower, they cannot be seamlessly controlled. The dream house and the dream tower are connected into a whole. The house is a house, and the tower is a whole. The towers are not connected into an intelligent whole.

The developers went to consult the "Lazy God Code" again, and the answer they got was: "Our program only controls the Dream Tower, but the intelligence of the Dream House is completely completed by the lazy god system's intelligent platform. The lazy god system's The intelligent platform is currently short of resources, and I am afraid that it cannot afford more services... Well, I suggest you consult Mr. Tie, who lives a lazy life."

The simple and honest Mr. Tie said that the service pressure of lazy life is very high, and there are not many resources. If you must enjoy it... just pay a service fee.

"How much?" The developer was already numb.

At this time, it happened to be 11:50 in the evening, Tie Dan tilted his head and said, "Then it's 1150..."

"Million?" The developers have already learned how to behave.

"What do you think?" Tie Dan asked back.

"good."

"Every year." The honest man cuts people even harder.

Fuck!

After hanging up the phone, the developers began to mutter in their hearts: "I have 30 billion, 30 billion..."

So far, the 1.5 billion construction cost of Dream Tower, the 700 million control program of Lazy Code, the 850 million design and authorization fee of Wanke Design Office, plus the 1.15 billion "lazy life" service fee...

Already $4.2 billion has been spent.

Developers can only paralyze themselves like this: "Dream Tower, I can earn 30 billion, and I still have more than 25 billion to earn...Calm down, calm down!"

But that's far from the whole story.

There is no turning back, and since they invested the first $1.5 billion, there has been no turning back.

After getting the right to use the lazy life, they bought a supercomputer from the "Lazy God Supercomputer" as the control center of the "Dream Tower", because the original Dream Tower was always running slowly, like an old lady ...

After spending a sum of money and solving various unexpected problems, the developers of Dream Tower found that even according to the most optimistic forecast, they could only make a small profit at most. It is completely impossible to make a lot of money.

When the developers saw Qin Yafei who came to deal with some transactional problems of the earth trebuchet in the United States again, they couldn't wait to punch him.

Back then, Qin Yafei kindly helped them build the Dream Tower, did he already think of today?

This Dream Tower, Lazy God Yafei basically manufactured it at cost price, but the follow-up "Dream House" has to go through their production line, and the asking price is not low at all.

Then, a series of assembly line operations almost cost these developers their bottom pants.

This business model, they also played thieves before, why is it their turn to be so uncomfortable?

The developers cried out: "Boss Qin, you really know how to dig holes!"

Qin Yafei didn't feel ashamed at all, and said with a smile: "I'm in the construction industry, and digging holes can be regarded as our specialty."

Seeing the calm Qin Yafei, the developers wanted to cry, but only then did they realize that they had found the wrong partner. It has been promoted all over the world, and it has really turned it into a feasible solution, almost single-handedly creating the great bull that human beings rush to the stars and the sea.

Such a person will not make money, is it possible?

"You've cheated us, probably there won't be any more..." The developers looked at Qin Yafei pleadingly, wanting a guarantee from him.

"Don't worry, we are lazy gods. There is no worst trick, only more tricks. The days of cheating are still long. You will get used to it." Qin Yafei replied sincerely. (To be continued.)
