Chapter 132, Page 403: The Boss is Awesome! (8k views)
In the CEO's office of Mingfan Technology, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds, casting several parallel stripes of light on the desk.
He stared intently at the computer screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard.
This is a reply email to the law firm representing AvengersGame regarding the licensing details of the overseas copyright agency for Fruit Ninja.
He carefully considered every word he used, aiming to maintain professionalism while leaving room for future negotiations.
In the past week, two overseas mobile game distributors, Chillingo and ngmoco, have been making intensive inquiries about Fruit Ninja.
Chillingo, in particular, has raised its offer from the initial $160 million upfront payment plus 20% revenue share to $190 million upfront payment plus 20% revenue share.
He replied to each question honestly and sincerely, but he remained tight-lipped. He was still waiting for ngmoco's next offer.
His past experience in game publishing taught him that at the negotiating table, whoever loses their composure first loses.
Boom boom boom!
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and Niu Baoguo, who had just finished testing the chat function of the Momo APP with Ma Tongtong, poked half his head in, his face showing an expression that was both excited and nervous.
"Boss!" Niu Deguo addressed Geng Zhi formally.
"Hey, Da Niu, come in, have a seat." Geng Zhi closed his laptop and greeted him warmly, "How's it going? Getting used to the company these past few days?"
Niu Baoguo sat down in the chair opposite Geng Zhi, looking more relaxed: "Yeah, everyone's around the same age, the team atmosphere is amazing! It's much more lively than I expected, and the things we do are much more interesting!"
As he spoke, a smile spread across his face, revealing a genuine joy that he couldn't hide.
"Haha, that's good!" Geng Zhi laughed heartily. "By the way, did you want to talk to me about something?"
"Yes, that's right." Niu Baoguo then remembered what he meant and hurriedly said, "Boss, it's almost 12 o'clock."
"Huh?" Geng Zhi glanced at the time on his phone—11:50—and asked with a puzzled frown.
"You can check your postgraduate entrance exam results at 12 noon today," Niu Baoguo reminded.
"Oh, thank you for reminding me, I completely forgot about that." Geng Zhi slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, without showing the slightest bit of tension on his face.
After a moment of silence, Niu Baoguo suddenly spoke up: "Boss, I don't want to pursue a master's degree anymore."
"Huh?" Geng Zhi was clearly startled, putting down his teacup. "Da Niu, why?"
"I want to start a business with you and do something big," Niu Baoguo said earnestly, his eyes filled with enthusiasm and determination.
Geng Zhi laughed and leaned back in his chair: "Aren't you already involved in starting a business? You can do both at the same time! Look at Yang Mingxia, Shu Beibei, my senior brother Song Qing, and my senior sister Huang Haitang, they're all studying."
"It's different." Niu Baoguo shook his head, his expression serious. "Yang Mingxia and Shu Beibei can participate in campus recruitment this year, and they can go full-time after graduation. Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Huang will also graduate soon, while I—"
He sighed and continued, "Even if I pass the graduate school entrance exam, I can only enroll in September, and it will take another two and a half years to graduate. I have to attend classes and work on projects with my supervisor during my graduate studies, so I simply don't have the energy to start a business with you. If the company grows by then, I can only watch helplessly, and that would be so painful."
Geng Zhi pondered for a moment, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table.
Niu Baoguo is right; it's difficult to have both a master's degree and entrepreneurship, especially in an early-stage startup.
However, he was still unsure whether Niu Baoguo's personality and abilities were suitable for him to start a business full-time with him.
If we rashly make him give up his studies, and it turns out later that it's not a good fit, it could ruin his life.
"Da Niu, how about this?" Geng Zhi said thoughtfully, "You should take the re-examination as usual and continue your graduate studies as usual. You can take two paths at once, which is both an option and a defense. If the company's business really makes it worthwhile for you to give up your graduate studies, then you can take a leave of absence."
"But if I take a break from school then, won't that waste one of my advisor's student recruitment slots?" Niu Baoguo was still thinking about his future advisor, and this simple thought warmed Geng Zhi's heart.
"Don't think that far ahead. Focus on preparing for the upcoming interview." He stood up, walked over to Niu Baoguo, and patted his arm. "You're studying materials science in graduate school; maybe that will help me with my future entrepreneurial endeavors!"
"Uh, my materials science major is completely unrelated to your entrepreneurial direction!" Niu Baoguo couldn't help but laugh, "Geng—"
"Boss, are you trying to comfort me?"
"Who can predict the future?" Geng Zhi smiled meaningfully, glanced at his watch—12:03—"It's past midnight, hurry up and check your grades!"
Niu Baoguo nodded, got up to say goodbye, and quickly walked to his workstation to check his postgraduate entrance exam results.
Geng Zhi sat back down in front of the computer.
He opened the Shanghai Jiao Tong University graduate admissions website and found the entrance to check the preliminary exam results. He hovered the mouse over the link, took a deep breath, and clicked to enter.
He was initially very confident about his preliminary test results, but he still felt inexplicably nervous when he checked them.
Enter your name, ID number, examination admission ticket number, and the information of the unit you are applying to. Geng Zhi took a deep breath and clicked "Login".
He took a piece of white paper and covered the computer screen with it.
Then move it down little by little.
Examination Admission Ticket Number — Basic Information — Application Information —
He stopped when he saw the words "Results Information," took a deep breath, and then continued moving.
政治理论：83分英语一：62分数学一：118分计算机学科专业基础综合：140分总分：403分「卧槽！！」耿直瞪大了眼睛，下意识地喊出声，「我咋这幺牛逼！」
But soon, Geng Zhi calmed down, and a grateful smile appeared on his lips.
It should be Lao Qi who's awesome.
It was the extracurricular reading materials that Professor Qi Chuqin gave him that allowed him to spend more time reviewing his other courses.
After replying to the emails, Geng Zhi turned off his computer and got up to visit Professor Qi Chuqin.
As he passed through the large office area, Geng Zhi deliberately went around to Niu Baoguo's side. Niu was staring at the screen with a relieved smile on his face.
"Big Brother, you did pretty well on your exams, right?" Geng Zhi asked with a smile.
Niu Baoguo looked up, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy: "Not bad, 322 points. That's fifty or sixty points higher than the previous years' cutoff score for the Huashi University entrance exam. Passing the cutoff is no problem at all!"
"Not bad, not bad, congratulations!" Geng Zhi nodded.
When Niu Baoguo saw that he didn't have any particular expression on his face when he first came over, he assumed that he hadn't done well on the exam. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how did your grades go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jiatong and Zou Lu, both computer science majors, simultaneously slowed down their coding. Although their eyes were still fixed on the screen, their ears were already perked up.
Song Qing simply stopped typing and pretended to slide the mouse, but his heart began to tighten.
Junior Brother Geng is busy starting his business every day. Will he fail the re-examination? Junior Brother is such a good person. It would be a pity if we couldn't be fellow disciples in this life. Sigh—he muttered to himself.
Seeing that Geng Zhi did not answer immediately, Huang Haitang quickly stood up, wanting to say something to comfort him.
Just then, Geng Zhi slowly spoke up: "I accidentally got a score of 403—"
! !
The entire office area instantly erupted in chaos.
Chu Jiatong and Zou Lu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
They were not very aware of Geng Zhi's involvement in the "Jiaotong University Matchmaker" project, and their surprise was purely because the score was indeed higher than their own scores back then.
The shock felt by Song Qing, Huang Haitang, and Niu Baoguo was ten or even a hundred times stronger.
Because they knew that Geng Zhi had hardly spent any time studying in the last three months before the postgraduate entrance exam.
"Master—Junior Brother, do you mean 33 points or 403 points??" Song Qing stood up abruptly, his eyes wide, his voice trembling as he asked again to confirm.
"Of course it's 403 points!" Geng Zhi laughed heartily. "If I only got 303 points, I wouldn't have had the chance to be your junior, that would be such a pity, hahahahaha!"
Song Qing stood frozen in place, his mind racing: 403 points — I only got 353 back then — Junior brother is truly extraordinary — No, no, junior brother is truly extraordinary —
"I'm going to report to the boss now~" Without waiting for Song Qing's reaction, Geng Zhi left the office with a flourish, leaving behind a group of colleagues who were still in shock.
Yang Mingxia had just returned from the restroom when she heard about the score of 403. Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, she timidly asked, "Senior Song, I don't know much about postgraduate entrance exams. Is 403 a very high score for the boss?"
Song Qing took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady: "Mingxia, let's put it this way: among the graduate students admitted to the Computer Science Department of Jiaotong University, those with scores above 400 do not exceed 3 per year."
"With this score, my junior's student will at least be in the top three, and might even become the top computer science student at Jiaotong University this year."
Yang Mingxia's eyes widened, then she clapped her hands enthusiastically: "Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Boss is awesome!"
Geng Zhi rode his bike all the way to the computer building. He went to Qi Chuqin's office first, but when he found that Qi Chuqin was not there, he went to the laboratory.
As soon as I reached the laboratory door, I heard Qi Chuqin's slightly angry voice coming from inside.
"Wang Lei, why are there so many fewer people in the lab today? With Xiao Lü gone these past few days, can't you be a proper head of the lab?"
Wang Lei was a doctoral student in the same year as Lü Sifeng and also an undergraduate classmate of Li Haipeng.
Because he arrived a day later than Lü Sifeng and was slightly less academically capable, he was respectfully called "Second Senior Brother" by everyone in the lab. At this moment, he was looking down, with a troubled expression.
-
Lü Sifeng has been recording the show "If You Are the One" these past few days, so Wang Lei has naturally become the head of the laboratory.
"Professor Qi, Tsinghua said he'll be at the lab soon. Song Qing is doing technical research on a new project with Xiao Geng, and Haitang is probably in an elective class."
He knew, of course, that Song Qing and Huang Haitang were helping Geng Zhi, but Lü Sifeng had instructed him not to tell the truth and to make it up on the spot.
"There are two computer lab sessions for undergraduates this afternoon. I have to go on a business trip today. Can someone keep an eye on things for me?" Qi Chuqin's gaze swept towards the laboratory.
Previously, it was either Lü Sifeng or Song Qing who went, but neither of them were there now. Everyone in the lab kept their heads down, no one taking the initiative to speak, afraid that this extra task would fall on their shoulders.
"Wang Lei, you go keep an eye on things," Qi Chuqin said directly.
"Okay, Professor Qi." Wang Lei reluctantly accepted the challenge.
Upon hearing this, Geng Zhi, who was standing at the door, rolled his eyes and quickly stepped inside.
"Hello Professor Qi! Hello fellow students!" His voice was loud and clear, and his face was radiant with a sunny smile.
Qi Chuqin turned around, and the moment she saw Geng Zhi, the anger on her face almost completely vanished, replaced by a kind smile: "Oh, Little Geng's here!"
"Hello, Professor Qi!" Geng Zhi bowed slightly again respectfully.
"Come here," Qi Chuqin beckoned, "Aren't the postgraduate entrance exam results coming out in the next few days? I'm really looking forward to it."
"Yes, Professor Qi, I just came out today. I'm here to report to you," Geng Zhi replied respectfully.
"Oh? Okay, come to my office." Qi Chuqin's eyes lit up, and she turned to Wang Lei, saying, "Wang Lei, you come too."
In Qi Chuqin's office.
"You two sit down, both of you sit down." Qi Chuqin waved for the two to sit down.
"Wang Lei, this is a Java lab class for second-year students in the School of Software Engineering. Just go to the large computer lab. It starts at 2 PM."
As Qi Chuqin spoke, he took out course materials from his drawer: "The main content is basic Java syntax and simple algorithm implementation. This is the syllabus and precautions."
He then explained the details and precautions to Wang Lei.
Wang Lei took the documents and carefully looked through them: "Okay, Professor Qi, I understand. I'll go over and keep an eye on things in a bit."
"Okay, Wang Lei, you can go ahead and get busy." Qi Chuqin waved for Wang Lei to leave.
After Wang Lei left, Qi Chuqin turned to Geng Zhi again, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Little Geng, how did the exam go?"
"Professor Qi, I scored 403 points," Geng Zhi said calmly.
"Oh?"
Qi Chuqin's hand, holding the cup, paused in mid-air for several seconds before slowly bringing it to her lips. She took a sip, then put the cup down, her eyes flashing with surprise: "403 points! That's an absolutely fantastic score! Xiao Geng, you always manage to surprise me!"
"This is all thanks to Professor Qi's extracurricular readings. Thank you, Professor Qi!" Geng Zhi stood up and bowed sincerely.
Qi Chuqin waved his hand repeatedly: "Even without that, you can still do very well on the exam. That's just icing on the cake; the key is that you have a solid foundation."
After chatting for a while, Geng Zhi suddenly spoke up: "Professor Qi, now that the postgraduate entrance exam results are out, I feel less pressured. Could I go with Senior Wang Lei to teach undergraduate classes later? I'm quite good at Java, so I can help out."
"Of course!" Qi Chuqin's eyes lit up, very pleased with Geng Zhi's initiative. "Just go find your senior brother Wang later. Help him out; there are a lot of people in that computer class, and he might not be able to handle it all by himself."
Compared to the other students in the lab who were all minding their own business, Qi Chuqin admired Geng Zhi's proactive attitude of taking responsibility even more.
He couldn't help but sigh: Students who are proactive in their studies and willing to help teachers solve their problems are so hard to find. Truly, excellent students are excellent in every way!
In the dormitory of the School of Computer Science.
"Junyuan, are you still going to your computer lab today?" asked Qi Junyuan, whose roommate Jia Zhenbiao was drying his shoes on the balcony.
Qi Junyuan untied his shoelaces and hung them on the line on the balcony: "I'm not going. A program that could be done in half an hour in the dorm, why go to the computer lab? It's such a waste of time, and there's no challenge at all, it's pointless!"
"That's true." Jia Zhenbiao leaned against the headboard, scrolling through his phone. "Then I won't go either."
Another roommate chimed in: "Yuanzi, Biaozi, I just heard from the class representative that Professor Qi is away on a business trip today and has asked his doctoral student teaching assistant to give us a class. And that Gengzhi too."
"Which one is 'Geng Zhi'?" Jia Zhenbiao immediately perked up upon hearing this, putting down his phone and asking, "The Geng Zhi who founded 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker'?"
"Yes, that's the founder of the Jiaotong University matchmaking service."
Jia Zhenbiao sat up abruptly, his eyes shining, and urged, "Junyuan, why don't we go take a look? Geng Zhi is my idol; maybe we can even learn some entrepreneurial advice from him!"
Seeing that Qi Junyuan remained unmoved, Jia Zhenbiao pulled him up directly: "Come on, let's go take a look."
-
Qi Junyuan, being pulled along by Jia Zhenbiao, sighed helplessly, "Fine, fine, I'll go with you."
Shanghai Jiao Tong University computer lab.
Second-year software engineering students sat in twos and threes in front of their computers, some coding diligently, others whispering to each other.
Wang Lei has already arranged for the students to begin computer practice as instructed by Professor Qi.
"There are 10 minutes left for the second question, everyone please submit your programming assignments as soon as possible," Wang Lei reminded everyone as he walked around the computer lab.
Unlike Wang Lei, who was constantly moving around, Geng Zhi went into the computer room and immediately began to rack his brains, designing two algorithm problems.
"Hey, why are you two chatting?" Wang Lei walked up to Qi Junyuan and Jia Zhenbiao and asked with a frown.
"Teacher, this question is too easy, it's not challenging at all!" Jia Zhenbiao said directly.
Wang Lei was rebuked, and the remaining criticisms he was about to utter were swallowed back down. He could only silently return to his seat.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Wang? You don't seem very happy," Geng Zhi asked, puzzled, after just finishing designing the algorithm problem.
"Some students complained that the questions the teacher gave were too easy, and they were so bored that all they could do was chat," Wang Lei complained.
Geng Zhi patted Wang Lei's arm and said indignantly, "Senior Brother Wang, I'll help you vent your anger!"
"Ah, no need, Junior Brother Geng, no need, no need, I was just saying that, nothing—" Before Wang Lei could finish speaking, Geng Zhi had already stood up.
"Who just said the questions were too easy and not challenging enough?" Geng Zhi shouted at the students in the computer lab.
The server room fell silent instantly.
Ten seconds later, Qi Junyuan stood up: "I told you! Senior Geng, this question is too easy. We're wasting too much time in the computer lab."
"Great!" Geng Zhi gave Qi Junyuan a thumbs up and said loudly, "I just designed two algorithm problems. If anyone can solve them within 45 minutes, I will reward them with 300 yuan on the spot and they can also get an internship at my company without an interview."
Pfft—!
Two students couldn't help but laugh.
These people still think that Gengzhi is acting as a "matchmaker for National Chiao Tung University." Although "matchmakers for National Chiao Tung University" are popular, they are still far behind the major internet companies.
If they were looking for internships, none of these top students from Jiaotong University would be interested in them.
"Senior Geng, how much does your company pay an intern per day?" a student asked, half curious and half teasing.
「如果能在45分钟内解出两道题，一天可以给400块~500块。如果1个小时内解出来，一天可以开300块。」耿直道。
Upon hearing about the daily internship salary of 400 to 500 yuan, many people in the computer lab were already tempted and started whispering among themselves.
"If I can't solve it in an hour, how much will I get as an intern?" a student asked.
"If you can't solve it within an hour," Geng Zhi paused, then continued, "then I'm sorry, you're not qualified to intern at our company."
Geng Zhi's last sentence, which had a somewhat provocative tone, immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of some students.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"That's so pretentious!" someone whispered.
Jia Zhenbiao stood up and asked curiously, "Senior Geng, what exactly do I do as an intern at your company?"
"Recommendation algorithm development requires high concurrency and must achieve ————"
Geng Zhi briefly introduced the job duties and said earnestly, "If any of you want to take on the challenge, you can raise your hand to sign up now, and I'll send you the challenge questions right away."
"The job description sounds pretty good," a student remarked to the person next to him.
"Their matchmaking service definitely requires precise algorithmic recommendations. Plus, the internship salary of 400-500 yuan per day is equivalent to three days' salary at many other companies—it's worth a try!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Wang Lei whispered, "Junior brother, shouldn't we follow Professor Qi's suggestion first—"
'
"Senior Brother Wang, we're now recruiting talent without being bound by convention, and Professor Qi will agree," Geng Zhi reassured him before continuing to look at the arena.
Wang Lei didn't understand. What kind of talent are they demoting? Who are they demoting talent to? This isn't a competition or selection process, and the boss doesn't need to screen talent!
By this time, students had started raising their hands to challenge him. Some were genuinely interested in the internship or the internship salary, while others were simply unconvinced and wanted to prove him wrong.
Geng Zhi walked over to the students who raised their hands, wrote down their IDs one by one, and then began to distribute algorithm problems to them on the spot via computer.
Then, he sent a question to Wang Lei and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Wang, why don't you try it out too?"
Fifteen minutes later, about a third of the 45 challengers were still reviewing the question or thinking about it, and hadn't typed more than a few lines of code.
25 minutes passed, and no one submitted anything.
Thirty-five minutes passed, and still no one submitted anything, but Wang Lei had stopped coding and straightened up.
After 42 minutes, Qi Junyuan successfully submitted the program.
45 minutes later, Jia Zhenbiao and Guan Peidong successfully submitted the program at the last minute.
Sixty minutes passed, and including Qi Junyuan, Jia Zhenbiao, and Guan Peidong, only six people successfully submitted the program.
"Time's up!" Geng Zhi said, then closed the online question session.
"Holy crap, this is way too hard!"
"Oh my god, has anyone submitted an answer?"
"One hour is simply not enough!"
After reviewing the six submitted questions for the second time, Geng Zhi stood up again and loudly asked the group, "Classmates, do you think the questions are difficult?"
"Difficult!" Many students exclaimed in unison.
"Actually, these two questions aren't difficult at all." Geng Zhi shook his head. "Our company's future real-world business scenarios will be ten or even a hundred times more difficult than this. That's why we need top-notch talent."
hiss-!
-
Just then, Du Yujiao ran into the laboratory, panting.
"Boss, this is the three thousand yuan in cash I just withdrew. Here you go," Du Yujiao said, handing thirty bills to Geng Zhi.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Yu Jiao! You can go back now."
19
Geng Zhi clapped his hands and said to the college students, "Six people successfully submitted their programs just now. Five of them ran correctly, and one failed. Qi Junyuan, Jia Zhenbiao, and Guan Peidong submitted their programs within 45 minutes and they ran correctly. Each of them will be rewarded with 300 yuan. Please come and collect your reward."
"Holy crap! They really gave me 300 yuan!"
"Senior Geng's question was really challenging; it seems only the three top students in our grade could solve it!"
"I suddenly want to do an internship too —"
Qi Junyuan, Jia Zhenbiao, and Guan Peidong hesitated for a moment before approaching Geng Zhi. Several other classmates who had been watching the commotion also gathered around.
Geng Zhi counted out nine bills from the cash, divided them into three portions, and distributed them to Qi Junyuan, Jia Zhenbiao, and Guan Peidong respectively.
He earned three hundred yuan with ease, which made many people around him envious.
Geng Zhi then called over two more students whose programs had successfully run, and obtained their QQ numbers.
"Senior Geng, did you really design these two questions yourself?" Qi Junyuan asked, with a hint of disbelief.
"That's right." Geng Zhi nodded. "This problem wasn't actually that difficult. Senior Brother Wang solved it in just 35 minutes."
As he spoke, Geng Zhi looked at Wang Lei sitting next to him.
Wang Lei was initially a little surprised because he hadn't submitted his answer after finishing. Then he felt a little proud because he had indeed solved it correctly.
Jia Zhenbiao, standing next to him, was visibly excited and asked, "Senior Geng, can I really join your company for an internship anytime? Is the daily wage really at least 400 yuan?"
"That's right." Geng Zhi nodded. "I can give you 450 yuan. You're welcome to join us and build a great product together."
"Ah! I'm willing to join!" Jia Zhenbiao said without hesitation.
"Senior Geng, your new product is still Jiaotong University's matchmaker, right?" Guan Peidong then asked.
"No," Geng Zhi shook his head. "It's a new social product called 'Momo,' which is ten times more interesting than the 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker.' It has nothing to do with dating or marriage. It will be launched for promotion in a few days, and you are welcome to try it out then."
"Momo?"
"The name sounds quite mysterious."
Geng Zhi didn't explain further, and gave each of the five people, including Qi Junyuan and Jia Zhenbiao, a personal business card.
After finishing all this, he handed the time back to Wang Lei, who was listening in a daze: "Senior Brother Wang, you go ahead and do your work, I'll head back now."
Geng Zhi didn't say anything more, left Wang Lei 300 yuan, and then left.
"No, junior brother, this—" Wang Lei was still in a daze.
Back in his seat, Jia Zhenbiao excitedly asked, "Junyuan, are you going to intern at Senior Geng's company? Since your new startup project failed again, an internship would be a good idea; you get four or five hundred yuan a day!"
"I'm not sure yet. I need to see what their product is like first. 500 yuan a day isn't enough to buy my dream," Qi Junyuan said. "Old Jia, are you really going?"
"Yes, I want to go! Gang Peidong also said he wanted to go. After all, two days of internship is enough for our living expenses for a month," Jia Zhenbiao said.
Office of Mingfan Technology, Jiaotong University Science and Technology Park.
When Geng Zhi returned, Ma Tongtong and Huang Haitang, along with seven or eight others including Yang Mingxia, Shu Beibei, Niu Baoguo, Lu Zhijie, Zhao Jie, Lü Siyu, and Ji Liufang, were frantically conducting the final testing and acceptance work for the Momo APP.
"Mr. Zou, I sent Zhijie a message, but why does it take him almost two seconds to receive it?"
"Song Qing, Zhao Jie is in her dorm right now. She said she hasn't moved, so why does the distance between us keep changing – sometimes it shows 1.1 kilometers, sometimes it shows 1.6 kilometers?"
"Liu Fang, this icon design is still not youthful and sophisticated enough, please optimize it further."
Why are the times displayed in my chat window with Siyu still a minute apart?
"When I open Beibei's message, why does it take two seconds for it to show the distance between us?"
Geng Zhi patted Huang Haitang and Ma Tongtong on the shoulder and asked, "Gentlemen, how's the inspection progressing?"
"Functionally, there are basically no major problems. The main issues are performance and real-time capabilities, as well as the positioning drift problem, which is quite difficult to solve," Ma Tongtong said earnestly.
"Senior Brother Lü isn't here right now, so the location drift problem is being handled by Song Qing alone. I estimate it will take a while longer," Huang Haitang said. "Junior Brother, I suggest we hire a full-time backend developer as soon as possible."
-
"Yeah, the headhunter is still recommending people to us," Geng Zhi said as he walked up to Song Qing.
"Senior Brother Song, how's the positioning drift issue being resolved?"
Song Qing pursed his lips and shook his head repeatedly: "Junior brother, it's too difficult. The back-end monitoring I'm looking at shows huge fluctuations, sometimes as much as one or two kilometers off."
"I've measured it before, and the biggest deviation I've ever seen was seven kilometers," Huang Haitang quickly added.
"What's the reason?" Geng Zhi asked.
"This is a typical urban canyon effect and multipath interference problem, especially in buildings, where drift is more severe."
"Song Qing explained."
"How are the current geolocation data sources selected?" Geng Zhi asked directly.
"I am now selecting both GPS and cell tower positioning."
Is GPS positioning more accurate than cell tower positioning?
"right."
Geng Zhi frowned slightly and suggested, "Then let's set a priority, forcibly prioritizing GPS location data, and only using cell tower triangulation when GPS signal is lost. Furthermore, set a reliability threshold; when the accuracy factor exceeds a certain value, temporarily halt location updates. Would that be feasible?"
"Ah! This is a great idea! How come I didn't think of that? I'll try it now." Song Qing said, about to take action.
"Senior, wait a minute!" Geng said directly, "We can't figure out the Kalman filter you designed before, so we'll write a sliding window averaging filter, cache the 5 to 10 most recent valid GPS points, extract outliers, and then take the geometric center."
""
Next, Geng Zhi explained Song Qing's implementation logic while providing his solution, leaving Song Qing completely bewildered.
He looked at Geng Zhi with a very complicated expression. He still couldn't understand why Geng Zhi's experience was so much richer than that of his senior brother, Lü Sifeng.
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
No wonder they scored 403 points!
After discussing solutions to the positioning drift, Geng Zhi gave Song Qing and Zou Lu a few pointers on performance issues before returning to his office.
He opened QQ and sent a message to Gu Wanning.
[Straightforward]: "Wan Ning, come with me to Beijing the day after tomorrow to find some investment institutions to raise funds."
