Chapter 259 Industrial software will be completed in February next year
It was a Sunday, and it was supposed to be a holiday, but Luo Jia appeared in her office at 6 o'clock in the morning, soaked a cup of black coffee without sugar, and started her day's work.
Before officially starting work, Luo Jia is accustomed to meditation, leaning on a chair, opening countless folders in her mind, and reviewing what she learned last night to deepen her understanding and integrate it.
It was seven o'clock when Shen Lang arrived at Luo Jia's office. He was not very happy recently because Luo Jia asked him to finish his high school course at Xingchen University and wait until the exam passed before starting his major.
So now, Shen Lang can only meet the teacher on Sunday and Star University holidays, and he spends all the rest of his time studying hard in school.
In addition, every Sunday, Luo Jia would take Shen Lang home to visit his parents and eat a lamb chop meal. Even An Ran and Li Moran had never enjoyed such treatment. It is not difficult to see how much Luo Jia attached importance to him.
"I have read this week's study report." Luo Jia said to Shen Lang, "Your Chinese and history learning still needs to be strengthened. Although I know very well that your interest in science is far more than that in liberal arts, as a Chinese, it is absolutely impossible not to study history."
"As the saying goes, history is like a mirror. Reading history can avoid making mistakes made by the ancients in the future. Chinese is the basis for integrating the Chinese genes. Whether our history or philosophy, it is based on Chinese. If mathematics is the foundation of science, then Chinese is the foundation of Chinese culture."
Shen Lang nodded slightly, what the teacher said always makes sense.
"Let's go to the software center," Luo Jia stood up and said.
Weekends are a day of love, and there are fewer people in the company, so more people go out for dates.
The Star Battleship Community is filled with the smell of hormones. Many straight men and their girlfriends have moved into the house assigned by the company in a noble manner. The people who stay in the company either have urgent tasks or are single like Luo Jia.
When I walked out of the elevator, I could see many colleagues working overtime on weekends. Everyone greeted Luo Jia enthusiastically. As a boss who had no airs, Luo Jia had a good relationship with all his colleagues, and his colleagues respected Luo Jia more than was afraid.
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room, including Li Moran, president of the Software Department, and several big shots in the industrial software field, Bai Xianyong, Wei Jianing, Chen Liwu and others.
As soon as Luo Jia took Shen Lang into the conference room, everyone congratulated each other, "The hardware department has done a really beautiful job recently!"
"A series of combined punches have hit us, and it is not easy for us to gain a foothold in Europe, which is the most competitive in the global automotive field."
"My classmates who work in Spain told me that the East Asia Group's electric cars are sold in a crazy way, and the orders are in half a year!"
At Star Technology, the Software Legion and the Hardware Legion are not competitive, but comrades who fight side by side. Although the people in the Software Department are desperately praising the hardware department, their colleagues in the Hardware Department also admire the Software Department very much.
Industrial software is not like auto parts, and only professionals know it. However, the Software Department insists on unknown work. It has been more than a year since they are now only one step away from the lifeblood of the industrial system, and their achievements are by no means inferior to those of the hardware department.
Luo Jia smiled, "Don't praise each other. Whether it is hardware or software, it is an indispensable existence for the company. What are you going to discuss at a meeting today?"
Li Moran said, "We are discussing the issue of charging. So far, our four major industrial software have all achieved more than 50% of the market share."
"The problem we are facing now is that it is not enough for large enterprises and special industries to use general industrial software alone. They need to tailor it for the enterprise. This way, it is beyond our service scope and it is time to start trying to make profits with industrial software."
Luo Jia nodded slightly. Industrial software is a very complex existence. It is also computational fluid mechanics. The functions required by automobile companies are definitely different from those who build aircraft, and those who build aircraft and satellites are different.
The Software Center currently has more than 10,000 employees, 80% of which serve industrial software, but most of them do not work at the headquarters, but go deep into all walks of life to actually understand the needs of the industrial sector and continuously improve the software version and functions.
Almost all the industrial software used by large global enterprises is tailor-made. After all, different industries and different needs are different. It is natural to charge customized versions of industrial software.
Luo Jia smiled and said, "Yes, not only will customize industrial software charge, but also new features will be charged in the future. After all, we spend so much effort on industrial software, not to do charity."
"I'll make two requirements. First, the charges must be reasonable. We finally make our pirate ships all over the world. If the charges are too high and everyone jumps off the ship, it will be our failure. I heard that major industrial software groups have been working on free versions recently?"
Bai Xianyong nodded, "Yes, after all, the market has been hit hard by us. Half of the world's share is on our side. If they don't fight hard, they will really lose their pants."
Luo Jia said, "This is market competition. It was because they charged too high that we gave our free industrial software an opportunity to take advantage of. The same thing must not happen again, so the charges are OK, but the fees must be reasonable."
"Secondly, after completing the EDA project, the industrial software department should go out independently. Based on the current situation of the industrial software department's huge losses every month, the department can be independent, but the finance is still managed by the headquarters. Before all competitors die, don't care about the big hole, the headquarters will be responsible for filling it for you."
Luo Jia's confident speech gave everyone great confidence.
Is the software center losing money?
It's a huge loss. The Star Search and Eye of the Sky are already independent. The Star System and Star Industrial Software are both free. The software center now has tens of billions of dollars in compensation a year.
However, Luo Jia used huge losses to exchange for the two hegemonies of operating systems and industrial software. Their strategic significance is by no means measured by money.
In addition to Star Search and Eye of the Sky, as well as Star Dating derived from Eye of the Sky, Luo Jia has won a full blowout in the software field.
Luo Jia asked Li Moran, “When will the EDA project be completed?”
Li Moran calculated in his mind, "Edy is the most complex of the five major industrial software, and the development progress is relatively slow. It is estimated that the work can be completed before the Spring Festival in February next year."
Luo Jia let out a long breath, it was not easy. It took almost two years to go, and the number of employees increased directly from 5,000 to 15,000, and the money spent hundreds of billions. The huge pit of industrial software was finally about to get out.
When he walked out of the software center, it was already noon. Luo Jia and Shen Lang went to the restaurant for dinner, and he then seriously told Shen Lang that he would take him to see a newly developed magnetic suspension system.
Chapter completed!
