Chapter 238: Have you known each other for a long time?
If Luo Wenkun only had a few million dollars in his hands, he might be short of funds to make a mature app, and he would need to consider the issue of profitability in the short term.
But in fact, Luo Wenkun has 100 million yuan in funds.
It can fully cope with various expenses in the early stage without worrying about not having enough money.
"I will not consider the issue of profitability in the early stage. In fact, this app can always be completely free. My goal is to make everyone like this software and develop the habit of using it. There are about 300 million students in China, from primary school students to college students. They all have the need to learn, and even after you start working, you still need to continue learning. So I believe that this app will have a great future."
Luo Wenkun took a sip of his drink and continued:
"We can invest some money in the early stage and put more high-quality learning resources into it. People like us may be considered academic masters in the eyes of others, so we can share some learning materials and study skills. Since these things are high-quality and free, I believe that everyone will not refuse such an app."
Luo Wenkun's thinking was so clear that even Xu You could not help but admire him.
"Once this app is completed and attracts the attention of some investors, we will look for opportunities to raise funds and prepare for the next step of development. After that, I plan to make my own UI, my own mobile phone system, and then create a mobile phone brand. Of course, the first mobile phones will definitely be assembled machines. It is impossible to have self-produced hardware right away, and the mobile phone system will definitely be developed based on the Android system. After it matures, we will transform little by little and make our own system and hardware, including chips."
Xu You knew that if he continued in this direction, the process would definitely not be easy.
There are even some companies that have encountered various setbacks and have been forced to settle for second best.
However , it is precisely because of this spirit of innovation that Chinese companies can achieve breakthroughs and get rid of their dependence on foreign products.
Xu You, Lou Song and Lin Shi all agreed with Luo Wenkun's idea and were willing to do their best to help Luo Wenkun.
When it comes to software development, Luo Wenkun doesn't expect anyone to do anything.
After all, they are not professional software developers, so let the employees do these jobs.
After the app is completed, it would be enough if everyone could help Luo Wenkun promote it and provide some learning resources, teaching videos, etc. in the app.
In the days that followed, Luo Wenkun began working on the project.
Apart from his studies, Luo Wenkun spends most of his time on the company.
He would also often talk about the current project progress in their small group of four.
Xu You did not participate in the development of the app, but was busy with his own project.
Xu You has completed the entire research process on the topic of "Vibrational-rotational transitions of HD molecules in a magnetic field" and has written a paper.
This time, because the topic is more theoretical, Xu You chose to submit it to PRL and only waited for the response from the PRL reviewers.
After completing this project, Xu You continued to look for several new research directions to ensure that he would not have any gaps in research.
On this day, Luo Wenkun sent another message in the small group of four people.
"Tonight I contacted a very good professor in the School of Information, who may be my mentor during my postgraduate studies. He will tell me some details about app development. This is a rare opportunity. Is there anyone who wants to go with me?"
Everyone expressed their willingness to take this opportunity.
Even if they are not majoring in information science, informatics is an essential knowledge for both their studies and future scientific research.
It can be said that informatics is equivalent to their second major.
As for what Luo Wenkun said, this might be his future graduate supervisor, Xu You was also somewhat curious.
"Why, Luo Wenkun, do you want to change your major after graduate school?"
"Yes, for my future entrepreneurial direction, it is better to go to the School of Information. Anyway, I already have a double degree , so it is relatively easy to change majors during graduate school."
In fact, many students who are admitted through physics competition will choose computer-related majors.
Xu You also thought that Luo Wenkun's choice was very normal.
After the four of them gathered on the campus of Ji University, they went to the School of Information together.
Luo Wenkun had already greeted the professor in advance and said he would bring a few good friends with him.
When he arrived at the place, Xu You suddenly had a very familiar feeling.
When he saw the professor, Xu You reacted immediately.
The professor wore glasses and didn't look too old, but half of his hair was already gray.
Fortunately, I still have enough hair.
It was Professor Peng Jun.
After seeing Xu You, Peng Jun was also stunned for a moment.
"Xu You, why are you here?"
Luo Wenkun had not yet realized the problem and thought that only Peng Jun knew Xu You.
At Ji University, Xu You is a well-known campus figure, and there are almost no people who don’t know Xu You.
"Teacher Peng, Luo Wenkun said that he would meet a very good professor today who could teach us some knowledge about app development, so I came here. I didn't expect it to be you, Teacher Peng."
Listening to Xu You's words, Peng Jun couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems that we are really destined to be together."
At this time, they also realized that Xu You and Peng Jun had known each other for a long time.
"What's the matter, Teacher Peng, Xu You, do you know each other?" Luo Wenkun asked in surprise.
"Yes, Xu You came to me and asked me for various study materials when he was a freshman. The last time I saw Xu You, he had already taught himself most of the doctoral courses related to computer science, and he did very well on several doctoral projects. Of course, this has nothing to do with me, it was all Xu You's self-study."
Hearing Peng Jun's words, Luo Wenkun, Lin Shi, and Lou Song all had an expression of disbelief on their faces.
Among them, the most surprised was Luo Wenkun.
Originally, Luo Wenkun had finally contacted a very talented professor in the School of Information, and thought that he could use his influence to give everyone a hard-earned learning opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Xu You had already contacted this professor two years ago, and even completed all the doctoral courses and completed several doctoral graduation projects.
This means that Xu You already has a PhD in computer science.
If he had known this earlier, Luo Wenkun should have brought Xu You to his company to be a programmer in project development.
"My network of contacts is already so wide, why is Xu You's network of contacts wider than mine?"
Luo Wenkun was very puzzled by this.
