67: Chapter 67 Casual CAD Setup

The first staff meeting was called very suddenly, but it did not end in a rush.

According to the system's press release, it should be described like this...

"This staff meeting fully upheld the spirit of democracy. All employees of Frontier Technology Company reached a consensus on the company's major decision-making directions, further clarified the company's articles of association and rules and regulations, further refined employee responsibilities, and held further discussions on matters yet to be decided by the company."

The meeting was conducted in a serious, solemn, and orderly atmosphere for over an hour, and finally concluded successfully.

By the time the first staff meeting ended and Wang Shuo returned to the third floor, nearly two hours had passed. During those two hours, apart from Wang Shuo's opening remarks, Assistant Liu had been in charge of almost everything. Even though she was only facing one employee, Assistant Liu fully demonstrated her meticulous work ethic, ensuring every matter was implemented, especially in her detailed report on the day's work.

"Regarding the negotiations with Zhongzhi Pengcheng Technology Co., Ltd., I have already contacted the other party today, discussed the relevant matters, and reached a preliminary negotiation intent. The details are as follows."

Liu Yemei took out her notebook and handed it to Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo still couldn't forget those memos written in beautiful handwriting. These weren't just memos; they were clearly contracts. The only difference was... contracts were printed on A4 paper, while these were handwritten.

"Zhongzhi Pengcheng Technology Co., Ltd. admits that the payment price was unfair and will provide compensation. Specifically: in subsequent services, the fee for each service will be increased by thirty percent based on our quotation; our technical personnel will perform a UI reset for the system already authorized to Zhongzhi Pengcheng Technology Co., Ltd., with a reset fee of five million yuan, to be settled on the spot without delay; regarding the equipment we are purchasing, according to the list you provided, Mr. Wang, the other company guarantees priority supply and offers a thirty percent discount on the total price, with the remaining amount to be paid in installments."

"These are just the main terms; the remaining details can be negotiated slowly."

What else could Wang Shuo say? Besides the words "awesome," he couldn't think of any other words to describe it.

You have to know, when Liu Yemei went, he and Chen Zhongxuan hadn't reached an agreement yet, but she had gone for less than a day and already brought back a preliminary intent.

Totally awesome.

Recalling the meeting content and thinking about the five million yuan coming in immediately, he felt very pleased.

Money, it seems, isn't that hard to earn, right? Isn't there nearly thirty million coming in just like that?

However... having an excellent employee is truly comfortable. Who knows how much effort it would take to train Zero to this level.

Wang Shuo looked at Liu Yemei in front of him, and the more he looked, the more pleased he was. He coughed twice and said, "It's like this, Assistant Liu. There are some situations you need to understand, which might help with your negotiations."

Wang Shuo handed the equipment list he had hurriedly written to Liu Yemei, and at the same time, printed a document on the computer, about four to five pages long, and gave it to Liu Yemei together.

"For the equipment, add these things too. My Uncle Chen has a large circle and extensive connections; what we can't get, he certainly can. As for the price, it would be best if it were free. If they don't agree, have their technicians look at this..."

Wang Shuo pointed to the A4 printout in Liu Yemei's hand.

Liu Yemei frowned: "Mr. Wang, with these pieces of equipment added together... the possibility of getting them for free is very small..." She paused: "Even if you gave me these technical documents."

"It's not easy, which is why I'm having you go personally." Wang Shuo was very confident in Liu Yemei now and said, "Don't worry about the technical issues; I guarantee it will be effective."

"Guarantee it will be effective?"

Liu Yemei's lips moved, and finally she said, "I have no questions."

Wang Shuo nodded, waved for Liu Yemei to leave, and he gently closed his eyes.

Everything at Frontier Technology Company was ready, but it was still missing a logo. Wang Shuo had originally wanted to design one himself, but thinking that all his technology came from the Humanoid Race, he decided to combine some elements from the Humanoid Race to create a logo, which could be considered a small tribute to the Humanoid Race.

The logo was quickly decided upon. Wang Shuo opened his eyes and casually sketched out the draft.

He looked at it, wasn't very satisfied, casually crumpled it into a ball and tossed it aside, then continued to draw the next one.

He stopped to look again.

Not satisfied, draw again.

After tossing and turning like this a dozen times, Wang Shuo finally found a drawing that he was relatively satisfied with.

He casually opened the CAD software on his desktop, but it prompted that it had expired and required payment.

Wang Shuo widened his eyes and pouted. Such terrible software actually required payment? It was really a rip-off. Did they think he was an idiot?

He casually closed it.

But making one himself seemed like it would take too much time... It just so happened that he had just upgraded some of Zero's functions a few days ago, so now was the perfect time to test it.

Therefore, Wang Shuo commanded quite proudly: "Zero, extract the source code of this CAD software for me and put it on the desktop."

"Very well, sir."

"Searching for the source code address, extracting, extraction complete..."

An engineering project that would require an entire team to reverse-engineer was solved by Zero in just a few minutes... Wang Shuo nodded with satisfaction. This upgrade was not in vain. As his interaction and upgrades with Zero increased in the future, Zero would become smarter and smarter.

"Enter edit mode."

Feeling a bit tired of typing, Wang Shuo leaned back in his chair and looked at the large screen hanging on the wall, which was displaying lines of source code.

"Delete the second line, call the new code language to re-edit... Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing... This section, yes, just this section, drag it to the back for me... Hey! Don't delete it!"

"Just this section... Yes, don't keep this logic gate..."

"This function is too complicated, simplify it, delete it..."

"..."

After spending over half an hour with great difficulty re-editing the source code, he had almost completely changed the source code from the inside out. Now, even if the author of this software came here, they would absolutely not be able to find any traces of the original source code.

There was no other way. After all, this CAD software was meant for humans to use, and it was still a tiny bit off from Wang Shuo's requirements, making it impossible to integrate happily into Zero's core.

Wang Shuo wiped his sweat. Commanding a mentally challenged Artificial Intelligence to work was really too tiring. It seemed he needed to take some time to create a gesture command system and have Zero learn it directly, so he wouldn't end up with a dry throat while Zero still didn't understand his meaning.

"Package it, convert it into an algorithm core, add it to your logic core, replace the original core algorithm, and optimize it using the new code language library."

"Optimizing, optimization complete."

It was finally finished. Wang Shuo stood up, picked up the satisfying drawing he had just made, and held it in front of the camera.

"Make this graphic for me."

The process was very smooth, but the result was not very satisfactory.

Zero, after all, did not understand human aesthetics, and this required a massive amount of data to learn, summarize, and refine.

But since it was the first finished product Zero had made, Wang Shuo could still tolerate it, as long as it didn't identify humans as dogs or dogs as other objects.

So he casually opened his own CAD program that was already installed on the computer, imported Zero's finished product, and picked up the mouse to make some small, careful adjustments.

"Sure enough, this kind of software is best made by yourself; it's much easier to use than the public version."

After carefully finishing, he saved the final product, and only then did Wang Shuo lean back in his chair.

"Zero, send this finished product to Liu Yemei."

"Sent, sir."

"Very good."

After finishing these trivial tasks, Wang Shuo opened the code editing page again.

After his... and Zero's tireless efforts over these days, the new code finally saw the dawn of completion; at least the progress was already over seventy-five percent.

He now needed to step on the gas and finish the new code language as soon as possible, to avoid this thing continuing to consume most of his energy, leaving him with no time to even perform Knowledge Infusion, let alone talk about searching for room-temperature superconducting materials. The new computer design hadn't been drawn yet, and he hadn't even done the step-back of optimizing the existing computer structure.

His task was still very heavy...

Wang Shuo sighed, what a miserable life.
