Chapter 36 The cottage sala (and at night
The R&D work is booming, and the market is not idle. The newly recruited 7 sales representatives and 5 of them have already scattered out. They go to major PC manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers to promote the built-in sala input method. After all, you cannot expect every manufacturer to have the keen sense of touch as the boss of Jindi. Now with the real case of Jindi, sales representatives who have been trained in simple technically are full of confidence. The number of downloads of sala input method on the Internet has exceeded 30 million, and from the perspective of advertising effect monitoring, the frequency of these download copies is very high. Now the advertising revenue of sala input method has reached a monthly income of one million yuan, and it is still growing. For sala company, even if it aside the two large orders of Jindi and Shengda, the company now relies on advertising fee income to basically achieve balance of revenue and expenditure. Inadvertently, sala company has created the fastest profit record of new startups in the park.
On that day, Dong Feng just arrived at the office, "Boss, take a look. This is a new voice recognition input method called coolvoice. I downloaded it and tried it. The effect was amazing, almost comparable to our sala. It's really strange. This company called Kurui Technology is still from our park." Zhao Chongyang, who was downloading the product of the marketing department monitoring company and the dynamics of the competitors, saw that Dong Feng was coming and immediately reported this important discovery.
"Oh, pass that program to me to see." Dong Feng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that a few days later, a strong competitor appeared. Soon Dong Feng got the coolvoice, installed, tried, and operated basically the same as the sala. Except for the different interface, the voice recognition response speed and recognition accuracy were exactly the same as the company's products, just like the sister version of sala. Dong Feng couldn't sit still. This situation was too serious. Although sala already had a first-mover advantage, if the quality of competitor products could be comparable, then the future competitive landscape faced by sala will be completely different. coolvoice is now using the gimmick of free advertising and completely targeting sala to seize the market.
"Duke, Caicai, Brother Wu, come to the conference room to discuss it together. There is a new situation that needs to be discussed by everyone." Dong Feng took his laptop and called Duke and the other three to the conference room.
"Look at it, this program has almost the same functions and performance as our company's sala input method." Dong Feng opened the coolvoice program and tried to say a few words. The program accurately restored his words to text. "This program appears so strange. The company of Kurui Technology has never had any products. Now that I suddenly launched this software, I doubt there is a problem, but I can't find where the problem is?"
When Cai Siqiang and Zhao Jianwu heard this, their faces suddenly changed. Now Sal can rely entirely on this voice recognition product. If there are competitive products with the same functions and performance, this is really bad. They dare not expect Duke to develop a more shocking new product.
"Show me the computer." Among the three, Duke was still calm. His trump card had not been fully played out, and it didn't matter even if there was a product comparable to Sala.
Dong Feng handed the computer over to Duke. Duke opened the program installation folder, found the dll file, and looked through it for a while. Duke smiled and said, "This thing is a copycat product, completely plagiarized ours, and the dynamic link library is exactly the same. Wait a minute, I'll send it to my development machine to verify it for you." After Duke said that, he passed the program to his own development laptop, and then went out to his office to take the computer over.
After hearing Duke's words, Cai Siqiang and others were already calm at this moment after the warning was lifted, so they easily waited for Duke's proof. They only saw Duke's fingers flying on the computer. After a while, a mini program called the dynamic link library in coolvoice. After running, the cute cartoon girl Sala appeared. She recited a Tang poem in a very cute voice. There is no doubt that this is Duke's evil taste. He hid a "eastern egg" in the sala input method sdk, which can be called out through special parameters.
"Haha, Duke, you're so fucking." Cai Siqiang had never heard such a cute voice before, and couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Jianwu, who was standing by, obviously thought of another aspect, "Duke, are you proficient in voice synthesis?" He asked with some surprise. As the head of the development department, Zhao Jianwu is not only responsible for the current project progress, but also for the company's next development. Although most of the responsibilities of this work are Duke, as the company's technical senior manager, he is of course responsible. At this moment, he was keenly discovered that there were still good things on Duke and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
"Well, it's okay, but how to combine it with the application, I haven't come up with any good ideas yet." Duke said vaguely. He was actually a little ambushed. At present, SAL is developing too fast, its foundation is too shallow, and its product range is too large. It's really a bit of a loss of attention. After all, he can't handle everything, and now he is acting very despicable.
"Okay, with the two core technologies of speech recognition and speech synthesis, we will have hope for entering the field of automobile navigation. Haha, Duke, you are really a treasure all over your body, which is exciting." Zhao Jianwu's previous words were normal, but Duke felt a little chilled when he heard this last sentence.
"Yes, Duke, don't be afraid that my brother is not able to bear it enough. If there is any good thing to smash it out, I think one day I may not be able to make SAL into Chinese Apple!" Cai Siqiang listened to the conversation between Zhao Jianwu and Duke, and his eyes were filled with stars, and countless RMB and US dollars were flying. Although car navigation is now in a tendency to be bad, if we can launch a navigation product with precise voice control and voice synthesis, the technical gap with current navigation products is obviously not a small part.
"Stop it, let's discuss the issue of coolvoice first. How should we deal with it to avoid losses? Caicai, you have always had many tricks in this regard. If you can take the opportunity to get some benefits, it will be more perfect." Dong Feng saw that everyone deviated from the process and quickly interrupted. While the coolvoice is still in its infancy, it is serious to deal with it quickly. Otherwise, it will be widely spread and the risk will be difficult to predict.
ps: If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another update at around 9 o'clock in the evening. Please stay tuned. Given that Xiaofei is so diligent, let's collect it. Thank you
