Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 43: Instagram goes live

After lawyer Sith arrived at Apple, he had an hour-long conversation with Wen Ming. As a result of this conversation, Attorney Sith merged his own law firm with only three people into Apple's legal affairs department.

Cage, an intern, naturally became the fourth employee of Apple's legal affairs department.

One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Wen Ming hasn't attained enlightenment yet, but he has been able to let those who are kind to him have a brighter future because of his kindness. Moreover, Wen Ming also needs someone trustworthy to help him, which is completely mutually beneficial.

The good news of Cui Chuanming has not yet arrived, which made Wen Ming a little anxious, but it did not affect his work plan. In fact, it will take some time for Wen Ming to have more funds to invest in the project of 'resurrecting' dinosaurs.

For a whole week, Wen Ming was in the lab that hadn't been fully built yet, because he didn't encounter the disaster in "Jurassic Park", so he wouldn't dream. Originally, this was the most troublesome thing for him, but in the recent period of work, he found that it was of great benefit.

Not being able to dream means that he has a better quality of sleep, and he can finish his day's work energetically with only a few hours of sleep every day. This is still because his physical condition is not very good, otherwise, he feels that he can work for a few days and then rest.

During this week, Wen Ming led his limited researchers to 'invent' dozens of new technologies. And these new technologies were also handed over to Sith to apply for patents at the Patent Office, and they also had to apply for international patents.

This kind of speed amazed Sith, Cage and others, not to mention people who don't understand technology, they all know that this kind of research speed is incredible, even Wen Ming's researchers are also very interested in Wen Ming I admire the five-body cast.

"Boss, we are here to be researchers, not to be your experimental assistants."

A researcher was seriously experimenting with a new technology proposed by Wen Ming, and at the same time complained: "But now, we can't do anything except verify the technology you have developed."

This kind of complaint made several other researchers look at Wen Ming with admiration. If the speed of several researchers verifying the feasibility of the technology is not as fast as one person's speed of researching new technologies, then there are only two possibilities.

One is that several researchers are idiots, and the other is that several researchers are cooperating with a genius.

Wen Ming noticed the admiring gazes of several researchers, without any complacency. These technologies were well developed by him, but none of them were developed by him. In fact, if he wasn't worried about too much impact, he could come up with hundreds of new technologies in a week.

"After completing the verification of this technology, you can take a day off."

After Wen Ming saw the text message on his mobile phone, he said, "I just need to deal with the company's new products."

Several researchers breathed a sigh of relief, and one of the researchers said: "Boss, after the new product is launched, can we recruit another group of researchers? Although it is embarrassing to say it, we really can't keep up with your research speed." .”

Wen Ming smiled and said, "Of course I need it."

...

The three weeks previously requested by Wen Ming had just passed, and Apple's second product was completed. Wen Ming is actually not satisfied with this speed, because he has already formulated the design ideas and functional demands of the new product.

"These technicians are still not strong enough."

Apple's employees are generally very young. Compared with other companies' R\u0026D teams, they may be more energetic, but they still lack sufficient accumulation in technology.

The research room is next door to the Apple headquarters, which is a warehouse area. After Wen Ming walked to the Apple headquarters,

I met the person in charge of the second R\u0026D team.

"Boss, after you come, we will start releasing products."

Apple's second photo is a social application that focuses on beautifying photos and sharing photos, as well as user-to-user comments on photos and other functions.

Such software requires server support.

However, because the company headquarters is too small and the conditions are insufficient, Wen Ming did not configure his own server, but leased the server of another company.

The server leasing business in the United States is very mature, and Wen Ming does not need to worry about being restricted by the leasing party because of leasing servers. Of course, if this product can be successful, Wen Ming will not hesitate to build a server center by himself.

"Boss, we have already made all the plans. At 12 noon today, all software platforms will launch our Instagram software."

"At the same time, we will update and push all "Plants vs. Zombies" at 12:00 noon. The content of the push is to download the Instagram we made before in exchange for updating the special edition "Plants vs. Zombies" level permission."

The levels of "Plants vs. Zombies" are limited. Although the release time is only four weeks, some users have already cleared the levels. When there are no new levels, some users will choose to replay to pass the time, after all, the purpose of the game is to pass the time. But there are also some users who will uninstall the game because it is not challenging.

Who would cherish something purchased for $2.99?

This is also the reason why Wen Ming requested that the development of Instagram must be completed and launched within three weeks. He didn't want to wait until Instagram went online, and many users of "Plants vs. Zombies" uninstalled the game.

Wen Ming didn't need to do any work at this time, and after waiting patiently for 12 o'clock, Wen Ming began to pay attention to the download volume.

"Should we add a big screen?"

Thinking of a certain company in the previous life, when the whole network broadcasted the transaction amount of the company's activities on the day, it used a big screen. The continuous increase in transaction volume on the big screen also has an advertising effect, allowing more people to invest in it and contribute to the transaction volume on the big screen.

However, Wen Ming could only think about it, it was too late to install the big screen at this time.

"There is still a lack of capable people. I need to worry about everything, and I can't take care of it."

At 12:01, Instagram, which was launched for one minute, still had zero downloads.

This surprised many people, including Wen Ming, even though it takes time for users to read and jump to the page to accept the push information of "Plants vs. Zombies", Wen Ming also posted an advertisement on his Facebook. .

How could Wen Ming, who already has more than 6 million followers, not influence a single person to download?

Just when Wen Ming was about to ask if there was a problem with the background data, the number of downloads finally started to jump.

Moreover, it jumped directly from 0 to 5 digits.

The person in charge of developing Instagram breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Boss, there should be too many downloads at the same time, which affects the update of background data. Simply put, it just got stuck."

Wen Ming glanced at him, but didn't speak. The person in charge suddenly came to his senses. His boss was much better than him in terms of technology.

After an embarrassed smile, the person in charge said: "Boss, I think we should improve our hardware level. This product can definitely get a huge amount of financing."

Financing is an inevitable step for many companies. Whether it is the need for development funds or listing, financing can help entrepreneurs save time.

Of course, financing will also take away the benefits that entrepreneurs should have.

For example, the bosses of Instagram’s original development company, if they hadn’t accepted financing, they could have won Facebook’s acquisition price of 715 million U.S. dollars, but in the end, they only got 400 million U.S. dollars.

But if they don't accept financing and don't have the money to grow Instagram, they can't afford just the investment of renting servers. What's more, what about other expenses of the company?

"Need financing?"

Wen Ming now has enough cash flow to develop Instagram. The premise is that he does not invest in the "resurrection" dinosaur project, nor does he need to invest in Apple's hardware production.
