The next day, Jester came to the company and first received a piece of news that would make him extremely happy.

Several painters in his company, with the help of several programmers, finally produced a drawing software that was extremely simple in the eyes of Jester but extremely advanced for current painters.

The person who designed this software was Cao Kairui, a young Chinese painter who designed the character of Sheriff Balotelli for Jester. His grandfather was a good friend of Jester's grandfather, and he was also introduced by Jester's grandfather. Because of personal reasons, he liked to use drawing tools to draw on the computer, but because of the scarcity of color renderings of computers, he encountered a lot of trouble in creation and racked his brains. Therefore, he had the idea of ​​not making a software specially used for drawing by himself.

Once his idea was proposed, it instantly received the support of many young painters in Mars Entertainment and had the same hobbies.

Moreover, after learning the news, Jester also talked to these painters about his views on a special picture editing software. Yes, Jester reversed the idea that these painters were originally planning to make a drawing software to the point that what you want to make is not just a drawing software, but also a picture processing software.

Jester also talked about his specific design ideas about this software, and even proposed many functions that painters like Cao Kairui did not expect.

Of course, this is just a script reading of the picture-changing artifact that Jester used in later generations.

These painters may not have much problem with asking them to draw original paintings, but it would be a bit difficult to ask them to write programs.

In fact, there are many coincidences in the emergence of PS in history.

If the inventor of this software was not only proficient in programming but also proficient in computer painting, he would not have invented this software in order to complete his doctoral thesis. Even so, if he had not had a younger brother who could understand the value of this software to help him promote it, the final outcome of this software would have been gradually forgotten and would not have become the most important software in the computer drawing industry in later generations.

It is precisely because of this that Jester specially selected several programmers who were also interested in this to help, and even allocated funds to accelerate research and development.

He deeply knew how great the role this software would have on him after it was released.

It can be said without hesitation that this is a software that has changed the world.

Jester came to a small R&D room in the R&D department. He had specially developed it to use it to develop this software for Cao Kairui and others. Cao Kairui did not name the software they were developing, but just set up a code name to represent the plan.

To be honest, this plan is not valued by many people in the company except Jester, even developers like Cao Kairui.

They just think that after the development of this software, they can make their work more efficient, but they don’t think much about the others. After all, this is just an image processing software. What this software can do can be done by hand.

Seeing Cao Kairui demonstrating this newly released picture editing and drawing software that has not been officially named on the computer, Jester's eyes flashed with surprise.

What he didn't expect was that the completion rate of this newly released software was so high.

You should know that when the real PS was released in history, it was only possible to adjust the grayscale of the picture.

But the software in front of him already has many of the functions he mentioned before.

It even includes Level, color balance, saturation and other functions. Basically, as long as the current hardware conditions can be completed in the program, it has been added to this software. Jester carefully watched Cao Kairui use it for more than half an hour, and then felt relieved.

In his eyes, this is already a mature enough program that can be commercialized.

"Do you still name this software?" So, after Cao Kairui's operation came to an end, Jester asked with a smile.

Cao Kairui first closed the program, then shook his head: "There is only the R&D code name 'Wu Daozi', which I gave it, but the official name is not yet."

Then a strange look appeared on his face. He asked Jester with some confusion: "BOSS, this is just a tool software we use ourselves. There is no need to name it, right?"

"hehe."

Jester chuckled softly and narrowed his eyes. He immediately understood that Cao Kairui and other inventors of this software had not yet clearly understood the real value contained in this software, but this was just right for him. He didn't point it out, but just shook his head, denied Cao Kairui's previous statement, and then organized a few words in his mind, and then said.

"Let's just give a name and then classify this program into the technical reserve department so that the company can apply for a patent for this software, and then I can see if I can sell this program. If the sales volume is good, I will give 10% of the total profit as a reward for our R&D team. Of course, the specific distribution will be based on the degree of contribution to this software."

Jaster's words also made Cao Kairui very happy. Although he didn't think that this software would have great commercial prospects, his own boss said so obviously a recognition of their efforts during this period.

But he didn't notice it, or he didn't pay attention at all. Jester said that he would reward 10% of the profits to "our R&D team" instead of you. Obviously, he included himself, and what he said was the group, not the members, which was intriguing.

If the employees who participated in this research and development were still on Mars Entertainment, they would naturally receive this part of the reward. If they leave in the future, no matter what the reason is, I'm sorry, you are not part of the research and development team anymore, why should you give you a reward?

Moreover, according to the contribution degree of this program, Cao Kairui is undoubtedly the one who contributes the most, because he proposed the R&D plan for this program, and he also participated in the R&D throughout the process. However, if nothing unexpected happens, it must be Jester himself, because almost all the functions in this program are proposed by him.

If Cao Kairui can get 50% of the reward alone, then Jester can get 40%, and the remaining people who participate in the research and development can only share the remaining 10%.

But despite this, even 10% will be a very generous reward in the future.

Jester knew how big business opportunities were hidden in the computer in front of him now.

It can even be said without hesitation that it is this software that has created the rise of Adobe.

At this time, Jester couldn't help but think that if there was no PS, would Adobe still develop to the level of future generations?

Jester just thought for a few seconds, then shook his head slightly, and he couldn't think of it.

"Is the name? I think about it..." Cao Kairui also frowned and began to think about the name of the software, but he said a few words to himself, and he rejected it as soon as he said it.

Jester, who was a little impatient, did not have so much time to accompany him to think of his name? He still has many things to deal with. For example, when he first came to the company, the receptionist at the front desk told him that the first version of the novel version of "Dawn" had been sent, and he also needed to see if this first version of the novel can satisfy himself.

So, Jester spoke directly and interrupted Cao Kairui's thoughts.

"It's just a name, you're thinking about it so much. Forget it, I'll just help you get one." Jester said, pretending to be frowning, then suddenly slapped his hands and said in a surprise tone, "How about the name Photoshop?"

When Cao Kairui heard this name, his eyes lit up instantly. He found that the name was so consistent with the software he designed.

He kept nodding and praised sincerely: "It's worthy of being a boss, this name is very good."

After saying that, he kept muttering the synthetic word Photoshop with a happy face. He just muttered it a few times, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Okay, that's it. You send the R&D logs and other materials of this software to the technical reserve department. I still have some things to deal with." Jester stood up, said a few casual words, and was about to leave.

Cao Kairui nodded and told him that he would send the information files of the software named Photoshop before the afternoon.

Back at the office, Jester saw the original copy of the first edition of the novel "Dawn" that the receptionist at the front desk told him on his desk.

The sealed packaging bag has not been opened yet, and obviously no one has seen it yet.

Jester called and asked someone to give me a cup of coffee, then tore open the packaging bag and took out a large thick stack of paper inside.

The company found a plot novel for the company's game that was written by a young writer named Elvis. He has published several science fiction novels with poor sales. Jester has roughly read his works before, but he can only say that the text is plain and there is no problem in expressing the plot, so he gave this task to him.

He also promised that if his novel meets the standards, he would pay him $100,000 in royalties, plus a part of his share.

However, Jester has just read seven or eight pages with this thick stack of novels, and the eyebrows on his forehead are tightly frowned into the character "Sichuan", and have never relaxed.

Until he saw more than a dozen pages, Jester's face finally turned from normal to ashen.

"Bang!"

Only a bang sound came, Jester threw the manuscript directly to the ground. The manuscript paper that had not yet been bound disintegrated instantly in the air and scattered everywhere. Moreover, he slapped the table again with a slap. The huge vibration sound caused the hot coffee that he had not drunk just now on the table, contaminating a large piece of documents.

Then Jester sorted out the documents dyed with coffee liquid in a little annoyed, and his eyes were still staring at the original novel manuscript that had been discarded on the ground by him. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He was still cursing and cursing.

"I spent $100,000 to ask someone to write such a garbage thing?"
Chapter completed!
