Back to the prime of life

Chapter 119: Real Stance

Han Jiayi lives in Jiujiang District.

Because it was not close to the city, Lu Changge subconsciously thought that her family conditions should be average, but when he really drove there, he found that her house was a big villa in the countryside, with a yard.

Moreover, the courtyard is not surrounded by walls on all four sides. Instead, it is more like an ancient mansion with a big gate and east and west wing rooms inside, and there are even three or five entrances.

"My dad originally said he would come pick me up today, but he had something urgent to do, so he told me to do it tomorrow, and I didn't want to wait for him anymore."

Han Jiayi thanked Lu Changge for helping her return the things.

But Lu Changge didn't listen. He pointed at the house and asked, "Is this your home? And you still say you're not as rich as me?"

"It's not a villa in Lelang District. This place is in a remote location and not worth the money."

"You may have a misunderstanding of the word valuable."

Lu Changge only said this and did not continue to argue with her.

After a while, the gate of the house opened, and a well-dressed woman with short curly hair came out. She looked somewhat like Han Jiayi.

So before she could introduce him, Lu Changge had already formed a preconceived notion.

That’s indeed true.

"Mom, this is my junior, Lu Changge. Isn't my dad busy today? He happens to have a car, so I asked him to take me here."

"Really? Thank you very much, young man." Mother Han glanced at the back of the car and her smile widened a little. "Well, at this time..."

Lu Changge spoke immediately, "Well, President Han, I'll go back when you get home. I'll contact you if you need anything. Goodbye, Auntie."

Han Jiayi knew what he meant when she saw him interrupting her, so she didn't try to persuade him to stay.

Afterwards, Lu Changge got in the car, and the black Audi sped away in the dark night.

Mother Han took a look from a distance and asked her daughter, "Where is this boy from? He should come from a well-off family, right?"

Han Jiayi rolled her eyes helplessly, "Mom, do you really have to ask about someone's family background as the first thing you ask?"

"Oh, then can't I ask about the situation of the boy you know?"

……

……

After Lu Changge returned to the rental house, he felt a little empty when he thought about the person next door no longer being around. Although it was only half a year, they met and chatted a few times, and this state of mind was pretty good, so much so that he almost got used to it.

But everyone has their own life.

It is almost inevitable that we will go our separate ways.

However, he was in this mood for a short time because it was meaningless. He might as well spend two hours studying Objective-C.

So far, he has basically become familiar with the basic syntax of OC language, including output functions, string processing, etc. After understanding it, he will find that OC language is compatible with C language, which will help him understand the two languages ​​better.

But in fact, if you really want to master this programming language, in addition to learning from books, it is more important to deepen your understanding by writing actual OC programs.

He has asked Chi Yongsheng when he can practice with a specific program. The other party replied that learning OC language knowledge is just the introduction to Apple system software development. In addition, there are Swift language, Xcode, Apple's own framework, hardware programming interface, database management, etc.

Lu Changge did not feel intimidated after listening to the above. He would continue to learn about these specific computer technologies because he wanted to understand the specific processes, the amount of code, the number of people, and the time required to create a software.

This way, he will be able to make better judgments in his future work.

Just like now, he has to re-evaluate.

There is a problem here, time.

Lu Changge remembered that in 08 and 09, with the explosive popularity of Apple phones, various application software had begun to emerge. Under this pressure, he had to consider whether to seek help from outside.

A famous entrepreneur named Zhang once said that as a leader of an Internet company, the two most critical abilities are:

One is the ability to recognize things. To put it bluntly, the Internet industry changes too fast, so we must clearly recognize the next trend of change.

Those who don’t know clearly, such as Baidu, always follow step by step, but never catch up.

The second is the ability to build a team. This is easy to understand. Liu Bang was so successful.

Other abilities besides these two can be replaced by finding other talents.

So Lu Changge didn't give up on learning the technique, but that didn't mean he wouldn't change his mind about it, especially after talking with Dean You. Isn't this just trying to find a sword by carving a mark on a boat?

Sometimes that's how things work, adjust your plans dynamically and make use of all the resources you can.

It's okay for now. Chi Yongsheng didn't completely reject his request to practice the program, which means that this guy should still have something to discover.

Lu Changge found a piece of paper and listed his schedule and future plans. He felt that he had to walk on two legs. He couldn't rely on others without learning himself. What if the person You Bin introduced was not suitable? Even if he had strong skills, it was very likely that they would not be compatible.

He must always leave himself a way out, otherwise he, as a boss, will be threatened by his employees.

Two days later, he and Yu Na went to Chi Yongsheng's last class before the Spring Festival.

After they had studied for about two months, Chi Yongsheng had already discovered some differences. Lu Changge was obviously working much harder, and his grasp of the grammatical features of OC and C languages was significantly better than that of another student, Yu Na, although this girl also worked very hard.

Lu Changge's excessive efforts also made Teacher Chi a little concerned, so he asked him during class: "OC language is not a school course, and there is no exam. Why are you putting so much effort into it?"

Yu Na answered for him, "Because he wants to start a business."

Lu Changge did not deny it, "If Teacher Chi is interested, we can go together."

"The investment in developing a piece of software is not small. We are just learning and exploring now, so it may seem like it doesn't cost much, but that won't be the case once we actually start the project."

Chi Yongsheng would never be fooled by two students like this.

He knew that a serious and usable software needed to be developed by at least a small team. If there were 10 people and each of them earned 48 yuan a month, that would be yuan in half a year.

This does not include insurance and housing fund, as well as rent, water, electricity, etc.

It may not be developed in half a year. Even if it is developed, it needs to be continuously tested and iterated to provide a better user experience. Therefore, if you really want to make it decent, it usually takes one or two years.

Software is not profitable in the early stages. Not only can you not consider making money, but you also have to find ways to expand the scale of service users. This is when the server costs come into play.

So you have to raise funds. If you fail, you can only invest yourself. The result of failure is a waste of two years and millions of dollars.

Or maybe it’s easy to lose money when starting a business.

Software doesn't require as little investment as people imagine. It's just a little better than industry, but it's definitely not a risk-free startup.

Lu Changge didn't persuade him too much.

But after Chi Yongsheng knew his idea, although he did not provide any substantial help, he did mention that he knew someone in this area.

Lu Changge was shocked after hearing this, "Would you please introduce this person to me?"

Chi Yongsheng hesitated for a moment, "Do you want it now?"

"There's no rush. I can wait until my ideas mature a little more."

"That's fine."

After leaving.

On the way, Yu Na asked him: "Why did you say there was no rush just now?"

Lu Changge said, "Didn't you see Teacher Chi hesitate for a moment? When I saw him like that, I knew it was useless to contact him now.

For people like us who ask for help, the biggest problem is not our own technical level or the amount of money, but how to make others believe that we are really determined to do it.

Choosing a job is not a trivial matter. If a talented person comes to us enthusiastically and says he wants to help us, I think he is crazy.

So, this is where the difficulty lies in the initial stage.

Today's conversation with Chi Yongsheng reminded him that he would have to plan how to make a real move after the new year.
Otherwise, even if Dean You recommended them, others would not inexplicably give up their original jobs and come over to start from scratch with him, a sophomore.

Yu Na also understood after hearing this, but she was relatively optimistic, "I think you should have a solution."

"I think we need to get Lao Chi to come up with something as soon as possible, even if it's just a simplified version. Otherwise, if we just brag about it, how will people know if we're serious?"

From this perspective, time is even more tight.

Yu Na made him feel a little nervous.

Lu Changge borrowed someone else's words to encourage her, "I know this is difficult, but it will be cool if you succeed!"

"Ok!"
