Chapter 458 Devil Investor

For programmers, what is the most painful and common thing in the world?

It's overtime.

What is more painful but more common than working overtime?

It's continuous overtime work.

The coders and designers of Hongyuan Education worked all night again, and finally came up with an APP within 24 hours that was at least as good as Cat Learning (pixel-level reproduction) in terms of interface and functions. Hurrying slowly, I released the update package, made many contacts, accelerated the review speed of various app stores, and rushed to put it on the shelves before Maomao learned the art.

Of course, the appearance is similar, but in terms of the core and matching logic, there is no way to copy it, and we can only slowly optimize it.

But for most users, the interface is actually visible, and you have to use it again to know whether it is easy to use. The matching algorithm or server-side optimization can be slowly pursued during this time.

After all the major markets released the Hongyuan Education 4.0 client, the programmers cheered, holding their almost barren heads with both hands, crying with joy as their hair fell away, and they could finally go home and sleep!

At this moment, one technician's voice suddenly trembled again.

"No... it's not good... Mao Mao Xueyi has updated a new... new APP, Mao Mao Xueyi AI... um..."

Before he finished speaking, a coder rushed over from beside him and covered his mouth.

But it was too late. The supervisor who was originally beaming with joy had already heard it. He jumped in front of the technician's computer and asked loudly: "What did you say?"

Then, he followed the technician's desperate gaze and looked at the screen.

"The words Maomao Xueyi AI version are shining brightly on the screen."

"This update is the biggest update for cats learning arts. In the new version of the APP, the AI ​​​​kernel is integrated and the artificial intelligence engine is used to accurately match every cat who plans to learn arts and teachers, and track the learning progress in real time. Intelligent recommendations are made A teacher in the learning stage..."

"Is this Maomao Xueyi Company crazy? Is it really crazy? How could they develop a new client so quickly! And this AI core, how could it be written so quickly! How is this possible! How? possible!"

The supervisor went crazy in the office.

He's not the only one who's going crazy?

In a villa in the manor in Xucheng, hundreds of kilometers away, three unkempt men were leaning on chairs helplessly.

Sitting in the middle was Li Hao. He said weakly: "They...can't copy it this time, right?"

"I didn't expect that we actually developed the AI ​​algorithm for art education..." The man on the left had few strands of hair left. After grabbing it a few times, another strand of hair flew down. "Hahaha... I'm going bald." It’s... and it’s become stronger!”

"How long have we been here?"

"It must have been...two months."

"This...so long?"

Two months of life!

Just burned it?

But what Li Hao is more worried about is...

"You can enjoy a 12% discount on the two-month package for three people, with a benefit of 1.584 million yuan. Thank you!" Zhuang Buyuan appeared out of nowhere.

"How much...how much?" Li Hao almost jumped up: "Why don't you go and grab it!"

It’s really 10,000 yuan per person per day for so much at a 12% discount!

"Because robbing money doesn't come as fast as this!" Zhuang Buyuan raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It only took five minutes for these people to enter, and they already had more than one million yuan in hand.

Li Hao simply didn’t know how to refute!

He was speechless for a long time and said: "I... we don't have that much money, can we get a discount!"

"The discount is already finished!"

"Hit me again?"

"I'll give you a small change, 1.58 million."

"More...do some more?"

"Okay, for the sake of our friendship, 1.5 million."

"More...do some more?"

"Just tell me how much you have."

"There are only two hundred thousand in the account!"

Zhuang Buyuan smacked his lips: "For the sake of our friendship, I will charge you 200,000 yuan first, and I will make up the rest later..."

Mosquito legs are also meat. Who made me so poor? Just take it!

What an unprincipled and shameless guy!

But the problem is... Li Hao can't even give him 200,000 yuan.

"If I give you the money, the company's capital chain will be broken! How do you ask me to pay my employees!"

Zhuang Buyuan glared, "Is it possible that you haven't made a profit yet? Didn't you say you're not short of money?"

"That's because you, the owner of the village, are crying about being poor all day long. How can I have the nerve to ask you to invest... We and Hongyuan Education are competing for investment from some angel investors... We originally thought we were 100% sure, but who would have thought how could these people be so... Shameless, blatant plagiarism..." Li Hao gritted his teeth in hatred, "The next few revisions are planned to be the trump card for the second round of financing..."

This time, we lost more than one billion!

Plus two months of life!

The problem is, you still don’t know how many rounds of competition it will take before you can raise funds.

Do I still survive until the funds arrive?

"Wait a minute..." At this moment, Li Hao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, I have no money, but we can give you shares in Miaomi Network!"

"I don't want shares in companies that can't make money." Zhuang Buyuan still disliked it.

Mom sells batches, can you stop being so vicious! Li Hao rolled his eyes.

"Don't worry, as long as we join forces, we will definitely make money, and it will be huge! When we get the funds, we will be able to sing as serfs immediately... We don't need your money, you just need to sponsor A little resources would be nice.”

Li Hao looked at the room behind him.

How can small companies compete with large companies?

Rely on technology? Big companies will copy it.

By working overtime? Large companies have many people.

The only thing you can rely on is working hard!

But the problem is, if you want to work hard, you must be qualified to work hard.

The price here is so expensive that the village owner will soon be unable to even afford it.

"We will give you 25% of the shares, and you just need to let us use this place at any time." When Li Hao spoke, his heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do.

"Then I am your angel investor?" Zhuang Buyuan blinked.

"No, no, you are much more senior than angel investors. You are a business partner." Li Hao said.

How dare you say that you are an angel investor? For someone like you who needs both money and life, you can only be called a devil investor, okay?

"If you lose money, will you trap me in it?"

"No, no!"

After Li Hao's repeated assurances, Zhuang Buyuan agreed.

"You always feel like you're at a loss?" When Li Hao and the others left, Zhuang Buyuan stood at the door of the villa, holding his chin and thinking hard. He didn't make any money, but he still had to put resources into it?

Well, forget it, it was just a waste of five minutes anyway.

At worst, a few more five minutes will be wasted.

If you cast a wide net, you can always find companies that make money.

But... I feel like the speed of making money is still a bit slow! It’s really hard to make money!

"By the way, help me introduce a few more customers!" Zhuang Bu shouted to Li Hao and others from a distance.

It always felt like the pace of several people suddenly accelerated.
