Chapter 157 - Up and Out
The moon sets and the sun rises, and a new week arrives.
Lin You went out early today to take the subject three exam in a relaxed manner.
Wei Zhang also got up very early, but he was not as relaxed as Lin You. He went to NetDragon's monthly meeting with the same heart as if his parents were dead.
Unsurprisingly, Zhao Yucheng asked him with a blank expression: "At the beginning you said confidently that you would achieve a technological breakthrough within two months and catch up with Yunmeng's technology. Now there is only one week left, and you have nothing to ask." Did you report it to me?"
Wei Zhang had a bitter face, report? He also wants to report.
The problem is that the cracking progress of the core chip is zero, what to report? Apply for more funding?
Or ask Zhao Yucheng to recruit more masters to help crack Yunmeng's chip together?
Or else, boss, why don't you hire someone else?
Naturally, the complaints in my heart can't really be said.
Wei Zhang could only helplessly say: "The headband part can already be imitated, and the host part can also imitate 80% of the equipment components. Only the last key component - the neural modem, is still in the process of cracking, and more are needed. time."
It's a pity that Zhao Yucheng's major is business. If you talk to him about technology or games, he may not be able to figure it out. But business operations, people management, these are his areas of expertise.
Naturally, the language art of reporting work to the boss cannot be hidden from him.
"So, how long is more time? It means the original 2 months, it can't be done, right?
"Yes." Wei Zhang admitted helplessly.
What if you don't admit it? Do you have to wait until the last moment to get slapped in the face?
To blame can only be blamed on Yunmeng's neural modem is too complicated, and the protection of the chip is too tight!
The previous 12 chips have been completely damaged in the intrusive cracking.
In addition, 48 new hosts were acquired on Saturday - 43 of which were purchased from the market, and only 5 were handed over to the company after the employees grabbed them.
Yesterday, half of them had been dismantled, and the R\u0026D department was still struggling to crack it.
"So, how long do you need?" Zhao Yucheng was angry, but he restrained himself very well. Scientific research is not something you can force to produce results. He is still clear about this, "give me an accurate time."
I also want an accurate time! Wei Zhang thought to himself, but he said in his mouth: "It's hard to say, our team is working hard to crack the chip, which needs to try all kinds of cracking methods one by one. It's hard to say which method will work. If it doesn’t even work, new cracking methods need to be researched.”
Wei Zhang has completely become humble after facing Mirage for more than a week.
Just like when Lin You first took out the mirage, the arrogant words-"Lin You just had shit luck, and it was all due to good luck that he made a technological breakthrough by accident", "Give me two months, Our team can do it too”…
——He never dared to say something like this again.
The richness and tightness of the protection means of the chip alone is undoubtedly the top level in the world.
It's hard to imagine how outrageous the content inside the chip is, in order to assemble these low-tech components outside into a set of virtual reality equipment!
Not to mention writing a complete set of executable virtual world software, so that this software can run smoothly without any bugs.
Not to mention the technological breakthroughs in hardware, just such a set of software requires at least a few hundred people, and it takes a whole year to complete it, right? !
But what about Lin You? It took him less than a week to put it all together!
The more he studied, the more Wei Zhang felt that Lin You's technical level was really unfathomable!
Every time he thinks of the gap between them, Wei Zhang even feels fear in his heart—is there really any hope of winning against such an opponent?
Zhao Yucheng didn't care about this, he was angry, "Are you trying to say that you don't know when you will be able to make new equipment?"
Wei Zhang opened his mouth, but found that there was really no reason to say, so he could only say helplessly: "Yes."
"During this time, I'll give you money if you want it, and I'll give you someone if you want it, and this is the answer you gave me?" Zhao Yucheng was extremely disappointed.
He turned to look at Hu Rong, "What about you? What about the progress of the DLC?"
Hu Rong was also very guilty, "The speed of advancement is increasing steadily."
It is indeed a steady rise. At least everyone is used to the working method of meeting every day, and the meeting efficiency is much higher...
Zhao Yucheng is not easy to fool, "Give me an accurate time!"
Hu Rong hesitated, saying one year? Certainly not! Isn't that clearly saying that his efficiency is ridiculously poor?
But say three months? Then he will definitely be slapped in the face.
How about half a year? Even if you can't finish it by then, wait until then.
But just as he opened his mouth to speak, Zhao Yucheng interrupted him by raising his hand.
Zhao Yucheng knew enough about Hu Rong, an old fritter, and he had already got the answer from his hesitation just now.
But even so, Hu Rong still wanted to play tricks, which completely consumed Zhao Yucheng's last trace of patience.
He raised his hand to signal his assistant, "Call Yu Gu in."
The female assistant stood up in response, and Hu Rong's face changed drastically. He subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop the female assistant, but he raised his hand and put it down quickly.
He had a bad premonition.
And this hunch came true immediately.
Yu Gu walked out of the conference room with a USB flash drive and a stack of documents. After obtaining Zhao Yucheng's permission, his assistant turned on the PPT projector for him, and Yu Gu began to present his proposal to everyone in the office.
He described in detail the content that needs to be produced in the "Flame 3" DLC, and divided the content into eight modules, and the eight modules were sorted according to the difficulty, and then listed the required personnel and departments to cooperate with each work. The specific time required is also clearly marked.
Who will lead the group, who will be in charge of the music, who will provide technical support... all personnel arrangements are specific to the individual.
Work arrangement and acceptance, testing and modification processes are also clear.
On the last page of the PPT, there is a detailed, clear, and executable schedule.
According to this schedule, as long as he gets enough support, Yu Gu can really compress the development time to within three months!
With this schedule as a comparison, Hu Rong's dry sentence "the speed of advancement is steadily increasing" is a complete joke!
Zhao Yucheng clasped his hands on the table, and looked around all the participants present with stern eyes, especially those who had previously spoken out in support of Hu Rong and made Hu Rong the main planner of "Raging Flames 3"— They looked away calmly at this moment.
Finally, Zhao Yucheng looked at Yu Gu, "Very well, from now on you will be the head of the DLC development team! You can arrange the work of anyone in this production team at will, and if anyone refuses to accept it, let them come to me!"
Zhao Yucheng did not lack decisive execution ability, "If the task is successfully completed, you will become the new head of the company's game production team! The remaining employees of the original Lie Yan team, as well as those who are willing to stay after the DLC production team completes the task, will all belong to the company. To your hands!"
Yu Gu responded immediately, this was exactly his goal!
As for Hu Rong, he looked at Zhao Yucheng and wanted to say something, but Zhao Yucheng ignored him and dissolved the meeting on the spot.
Hu Rong looked angrily at Yu Gu, the subordinate who stabbed him in the back!
But Yu Gu also ignored him, turned around and left the office directly, he wanted to go back and announce the good news!
Hu Rong's former old friends also got up and left one after another without even looking at him again.
Hu Rong finally felt overwhelmed: Am I just out of the game? So what should I do next?
He returned to his office in a daze.
Volunteer to resign? But after resigning, where else can I go? What to do?
Besides, the boss didn't tell me to submit my resignation letter. Is he planning to transfer me to an idle job?
When Hu Rongzheng lost his mind, Zhang Rong, the head of the personnel department, knocked on the door and walked in.
Zhang Rong handed the A4 paper to Hu Rong with regret.
Hu Rong took it with trembling hands, and looked down at the black words on it——
"Employee Dismissal Notice"
