After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 6 Planning and Preparation

"Hao Cheng, thank you so much!" The next day, downstairs in the office building, several people were almost expressing their gratitude to Hao Cheng.

Even Hao Cheng himself did not expect that not only himself, but also the five members of his team were all fully compensated by the company at once.

Hao Cheng thought that this was probably not a change of heart, but rather he was really scared.

"This is so important to me!" A front-end guy named Cao Song sighed, "Otherwise, I would have to register as a Meituan rider to deliver food today.

"I tried, but it's hard to find a job nowadays. I've always wanted to leave, but I've been sending out resumes for half a year and have had very few interviews. Brother Cheng, what are your plans for the future?"

"Has ArkTS paid attention to it?" Hao Cheng asked.

“Of course.” Cao Song nodded and said, “Not only ArkTS, but I also taught myself Cangjie, just to have more opportunities when looking for a job.

"Unfortunately, according to several companies I interviewed, small and medium-sized companies still have doubts about the Hongmeng system. Like our company, they think Huawei must have a backup plan, so they are not active in adapting.

“Moreover, many small companies’ apps are simply packaged directly using H5 web pages through Uni-APP, and do not require any targeted development.

"Even if they are recruiting, they are just waiting and watching. I have seen that there are not many serious Internet and software companies in Linzhou."

"Where is VV Running Errands?" Hao Cheng thought for a long time and came up with this one, a local company in Linzhou that had made a little name for itself on the Internet.

"It does exist, but there are too many people and too little meat, and the competition is too fierce." Cao Song said with a helpless tone.

"Brother Cheng, you are asking this because is there any opportunity for recommendation? Is there a position for me?" Cao Song has always been quick-witted. He suddenly realized something and asked immediately.

"I'm not too sure. If I have the chance, I will definitely think of you."

Hao Cheng was satisfied with these people, but he did not promise much at this time. He had to take it one step at a time, and many things were still uncertain for the time being:

"It's just that at the moment, nothing is confirmed here. You should look for a job if you need to, send out your resume as many times as possible, cast a wide net, and don't miss the right opportunity."

"It's difficult!" Several people sighed that the current employment situation is really too unfriendly.

"It doesn't matter. The least we have received is five months' compensation. It won't hurt to take a break for a while and rest."

"That's all."

Several people left with sad faces. Hao Cheng quietly called Li Ling and Cao Song:
"I have a project here, which is considered my personal project. I need to develop two apps. Can you do it? If you can, I will sign an outsourcing agreement for the time being and pay you according to the workload."

After receiving the dismissal agreement, resignation certificate, and notice of the company's decision not to perform the non-compete agreement, Hao Cheng felt relieved and was able to take drastic measures.

Although he can develop the APP himself, for the sake of safety, Hao Cheng still wants to let a professional do it. At the same time, he can free up time to plan his future entrepreneurial route.

"The workload is not complicated, just a few simple interfaces."

The original Fingertips Quicksand had no design and was only able to input text and have conversations. Now that the core has completely evolved, this interface also needs to be improved and optimized.

"On Li Ling's side, in addition to the APP interface design, she will also design a logo for each of the two APPs. That's all for now."

"Brother Cheng, I'm a UI designer, but I'm not so good at designing logos." Li Ling's position is designer, which is good, but she has not systematically learned any design concepts. Usually, their work is to draw page layouts and so on. More often, their positions are called web designers. "It doesn't matter, just draw simply and casually, as long as it looks good and not too ugly."

Hao Cheng had no requirements for this. He couldn't really find a professional to design a VI visual system. That thing alone was not cheap and there was no need for it for the time being.

"Okay, let's do it!" The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Well, it's like this." Hao Cheng explained: "Make two apps, one is an all-round AI assistant, similar to Wenxin Yiyan's Wen Xiaoyan, Douyin's Doubao and other similar things, but with more powerful functions.

"The other one is also an AI APP, but it focuses on legal issues. We only need to make the APP. The AI capability is connected to a third party. I will provide an interface to Cao Song. I will prepare the interface today and tomorrow."

"Will this work?" Cao Song asked doubtfully, "There are too many apps of this kind now. It's hard to stand out without your own core advantages."

“We have core advantages.”

"What advantages?" Both of them were curious. They could see that Hao Cheng had plans to start a business and was full of confidence. If it succeeded, the two of them could become veterans. They didn't want the APP development to be a one-time deal.

"Is being ten times stronger than Wen Xiaoyan an advantage?" There's nothing to hide. Even if we don't say it now, they will be able to discover it when we are doing the APP testing interface.

“Ten times stronger?” The two were shocked and looked completely incredulous. Mainly because this was too outrageous - which third-party interface had such a powerful AI? If so, why hadn’t they heard of it?

"Why do you think the company changed so much overnight? They gave me 2N directly? They even gave me an extra month!"

Hao Cheng directly showed the two of them what he had done last night, allowing them to see the power of legal services after their professional capabilities were enhanced.

"Oh my god! I was wondering why the company suddenly became so kind. Yesterday they were still suing me casually, but this morning when I came, they directly signed an agreement to give me 5 months' compensation. So this is what's going on!" Cao Song woke up as if from a dream and suddenly realized.

"If that's the case, then... it will succeed!" The three of them smiled at each other.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon and the three of them went home to prepare.

Sitting in a small study room of less than two square meters separated by half of a balcony, Hao Cheng felt for the first time that the future was promising.

As for how to plan the functions of an all-round AI assistant, Hao Cheng had no intention of being unconventional. He faced the challenge head-on, as he believed in Xiaosha's absolute overwhelming ability.

It directly refers to the existing all-round AI, with built-in modules such as document parsing, writing assistant, meeting minutes and summaries, and mind mapping.

If you want more personalized functions, you need to use the dialogue with Xiaosha to solve them, such as asking directly: How to choose a new energy car within 15 yuan? What should I do if the old-timer in the workplace always bullies me? Help me draft an indictment, etc.

Coupled with the set "character immersion" capability, for example, setting the AI as the role of "girlfriend", and then being "gentle, considerate and obedient", Xiaosha will become like this.

With the planning and development process, the three people collaborated with each other and the efficiency of ArkTS was beyond expectations. With the one-on-one assistance of Huawei official personnel, the native Hongmeng version of Fingerbreak Quicksand was completed in just five days.

"But these are the common capabilities of most AI assistants on the market. What are our advantages?"

"Advantage?" Cao Song answered the question without hesitation: "That is, Xiaosha's ability is ten times or even a hundred times stronger than theirs!"
