Chapter 238 Research and Development of Star OS System

Compared to a company, this is more like a research and development team, and the entire office is full of scientific research atmosphere.

"Of course, everyone is an excellent practitioner in the field of mobile phone software, and everyone's salary here is not low."

The person with the lowest monthly salary here has a basic salary of five figures. This does not include year-end bonuses, performance bonuses, and bonuses for various projects.

Such treatment conditions were considered very high in Shengzhou at the time, not even inferior to those in big cities such as Yanjing, Shenzhen, and Yangcheng.

After taking a look around the company, Ning Chen came to a man.

The man looked to be in his thirties, his thin hair looked a bit messy, and dust could be seen on his black-rimmed glasses.

Although his appearance is a bit sloppy, he appears to be very focused and focused.

From the outside, this man looks like a very good programmer.

This man's name is Lu Minghao, and he is the manager of the software research and development department of Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd. He is the most powerful leader in the company besides Ning Chen.

Lu Minghao graduated from Shengzhou University majoring in computer science with a doctorate degree. He used to work in a large factory and was hired by Ning Chen with a high salary through his connections.

If he ignored the company's status, Ning Chen would still have to call Lu Minghao "senior".

"Manager Lu, excuse me, I want to know something from you."

Although Lu Minghao is currently doing more important work, after all, Ning Chen is looking for him personally. Lu Minghao will definitely put aside his work and report the situation to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen doesn't usually come to the company every day. In the past few days, the progress of the company's projects has changed a lot.

"Okay, Mr. Ning, please ask."

"How is the progress of our source code inspection of the 'Star OS' system now?"

"Xingchen OS" is Ning Chen's tentative name for this mobile phone system. If he has any other good ideas in the future, he will consider changing the name.

"Mr. Ning, the progress of this work is already more than half. It is expected that all the work can be completed within one to two months."

This is the most important task of the company at present, and Ning Chen is quite satisfied with the progress.

"Manager Lu, how is the current progress of the system software ecological development project?"

Hearing Ning Chen's question, Lu Minghao was obviously embarrassed.

"Mr. Ning, the current progress of this project is still a bit slow because the workload is indeed a bit heavy. In terms of our current number of employees, it still seems a bit insufficient."

Lu Minghao expressed tactfully that he hoped Ning Chen could recruit more employees, because now almost all employees in the company are working at full capacity, and it is difficult to improve even a little bit of work efficiency.

Ning Chen is also aware of this situation, because software development is indeed a very heavy workload. There is no problem for these employees to develop a piece of software together, but developing multiple pieces of software at the same time, even if it is just the most basic system built-in software, It's not an easy task either.

"Manager Lu, I understand the situation. For now, I will focus on the verification of the system source code. Later, I will continue to increase the size of the company and study the expansion of employees."

In fact, the current company may seem small, but its monthly expenses have reached six figures. Even Ning Chen cannot easily afford higher expenses.

After all, Ning Chen is just a part-time worker now. If the company has no income for a long time, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time.

Ning Chen needed to complete the inspection of the entire mobile phone system first. This work was not only to prove the correctness of the source code of the mobile phone system, but also to familiarize employees with the codes and prepare for patent applications.

"Okay, Mr. Ning, then we will continue to focus on the inspection of the mobile phone system source code."

"By the way, Manager Lu, you can share some work with me and Teacher Song. We both still have some free time and can help the company share some work."

Ning Chen was not being polite to Lu Minghao, because the work done by Ning Chen and Song Xiyun would not occupy the company's expenses, so it would indeed be of great help to the progress of the company's projects.

Lu Minghao was a little embarrassed to let Ning Chen do these tasks himself. After all, this was not within the scope of the company's chairman's responsibilities.

"Mr. Ning, it's fine if we do all this work. We can't always let Ning Chen do it personally."

"The company is still in the early stages of establishment, and there is definitely a shortage of manpower. In addition to being the chairman, I am also one of the company's employees. Manager Lu, please feel free to give us a part of the company. When the company grows in size, If it continues to grow and develop, I won’t care about so many things anymore.”

After hearing what Ning Chen said, Lu Minghao stopped refusing and started studying the task allocation issue with Ning Chen.

Song Xiyun was also listening carefully to the discussion between the two, and asked some questions from time to time, appearing very serious.

Song Xiyun really wanted to participate in this project properly. She didn't want to hold Ning Chen back when she worked on a project with Ning Chen for the first time.

After talking about these issues, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun left the company together.

On the way, Song Xiyun asked some questions about Ningchen's company.

"Ning Chen, the employees in your company are really dedicated. It's so late and no one has taken the initiative to get off work."

"Yes, in addition to the benefits the company provides everyone, they also really want this mobile phone system to be available as soon as possible. Of course, I also set a latest off-duty time for them, no matter how the work is going To the extent that it’s mandatory to get off work at this time.”

Ning Chen knew that carrying out these tasks did not happen overnight. Ning Chen, the first batch of employees, treated them as company veterans.

If their bodies are overdrawn, even if the work progress can be accelerated in the short term, it will definitely be detrimental to everyone in the long term.

Ning Chen didn't want to be a boss who squeezed his employees. After all, he was also a worker, so why bother to fight a worker.

"Song Xiyun, I plan to set up a home office area in my house. We don't have to go to the company and can work directly at home."

"Okay, anyway, I live opposite your house, and it's very convenient to commute back and forth to get off work." Song Xiyun said with a smile.

After returning home, Ning Chen started planning the office area at home.

The reason why Ning Chen did not let Song Xiyun work directly at his home was because he could keep the system's source code and system software ecosystem confidential to the maximum extent possible.

Ning Chen doesn't have any distrust of Song Xiyun, but rather believes in the level of network security here. After all, relying on the firewall established by Xiaozhi, even the best hackers in the world will have a hard time breaking through Ning Chen's network defense. facility.

Ning Chen didn't plan to set up an office area in his study because his study was too crowded, and Ning Chen didn't want Song Xiyun to see so many servers in his study.

Ning Chen decided to just arrange another computer for Song Xiyun in the living room, treating it as Song Xiyun's work equipment.

The next day, Ning Chen bought Song Xiyun's work equipment from Brother Dong and set up various network configurations.

Ning Chen's home network is the only place other than the company that can connect to the company. This can also maximize the security of the source code of the entire mobile phone system.

After finishing her day's work, Song Xiyun and Ning Chen returned to Ning Chen's home and started another job.

Song Xiyun does not expect to receive any reward from her work on this project, she just enjoys the process.

Seeing the first equipment added to Ning Chen's home, Song Xiyun said with some surprise:

"I didn't expect you to prepare all the working equipment so quickly. Doesn't this set of equipment cost a lot of money?"

"Maybe Song Xiyun will become a key member of the company in the future, and you will definitely have to use the best equipment."

Ning Chen was actually very grateful that Song Xiyun was willing to come and help, especially since the company was short of manpower when it was first established, Song Xiyun's joining would still play a very important role.

Of course, Ning Chen would definitely not let Song Xiyun do her work for nothing. After the project is completed, Ning Chen would pay Song Xiyun the remuneration she deserved.

The work shared by Ning Chen and Song Xiyun was part of the source code inspection work and the production of mobile application software download channels.

This part of the work does not seem complicated, but if two people do it, the workload is still relatively large.

Fortunately, Ning Chen's brainpower index is strong enough that one person can be used by several people, and Song Xiyun also has a very good programming foundation, so there will be no obstacles to carrying out these tasks.

…

As time passed day by day, Xingchen Technology Company also completed the work in the project bit by bit.

With the joint efforts of Ning Chen, Song Xiyun, Lu Minghao, and other employees of the company, the company has completed all source code inspections and has begun patent application for this mobile phone system.

In fact, as long as you apply for a patent, it is equivalent to exchanging partial disclosure for confidentiality. But for the advent of this mobile phone system, Ning Chen must do this work.

Of course, applying for a patent does not mean that all technical details will be exposed. The core secrets are still in Ning Chen's own hands.

Ning Chen needs to find a company that can cooperate with him as soon as possible, otherwise, the company's future operations will also be a problem.

Ning Chen's current income can barely support the company's current expenses.
