Chapter 846 - 209: Young Master Xu Keeps Up the Momentum (Part 2)
Chapter 846 - 209: Young Master Xu Keeps Up the Momentum (Part 2)
However, he just wanted to keep it simple, managing two or three companies under him. Once they grow, Xu Lin would remain a behind-the-scenes shareholder, occasionally offering some guidance, and that’s about it. He didn’t want to manage more.
This time, Xu Lin’s target is a robotics company.
In the future, Xu Lin might consider companies in other fields, such as intelligent driving and medical devices, as these two areas have a significant demand for artificial intelligence.
But currently, Xu Lin’s energy only allows him to take time to guide one company. He couldn’t manage more, as he had too many things to handle.
As for gaming companies approaching him, Xu Lin currently has no interest in dealing with them.
The main game companies domestically set the tone, creating a very poor ecosystem, where basically, no one seriously makes games, meaning there’s no gaming spirit at all.
The games they develop are all about how to exploit players, how to make players pay real money.
What are games? They have another synonym, called the ninth art.
The other eight great arts are literature, music, dance, fine arts, architecture, drama, film, and folk art.
Games are on par with them.
If his technology were to be messed up by these people, or become a tool for these capitalists to make money, then why even bother playing?
Xu Lin couldn’t be bothered to deal with these gaming companies.
After posting on Weibo, Xu Lin thought for a bit and then developed a new software.
Actually, it was just him converting his personal website into a mobile app.
He used Zhou Yi’s code, making it very compact, less than 1M, but with lots and lots of content. If converted to English code, the software size would be at least 50M, and the original file data might start at 200M.
But Xu Lin didn’t need that.
Moreover, Xu Lin made it system compatible. Besides being usable on the Moon God System, the app could also be installed on Android, Apple, and HarmonyOS systems.
At exactly midnight, the software for the three different systems went live, and Xu Lin briefly notified people on Weibo.
Additionally, the software was named: Moon God Community.
"Hoho, there’s finally a mobile version. Now I can read the big shots’ posts on my phone."
"Did Young Master Xu study art? This UI looks so good! And this page layout, it’s perfect!"
"It even supports the HarmonyOS system, Young Master Xu thought of everything!"
"I can download on Apple directly from the network bypassing the app store. I’ll definitely give this a thumbs up. Apple’s restrictions are rubbish."
"Moon God Community is online. Zhihu and Tieba can now sit at the same table. These two trash platforms are full of people mixing truth with lies, making it hard to find any substantial content."
Half an hour after the software release, Xu Lin checked the number of online users. By then, Moon God Community already had over three million active users online, which was quite a lot, but not yet its limit. Xu Lin’s personal website had over nine million registered users, and since it wasn’t even half of them, it was likely that many were asleep.
If it were for-profit, one wouldn’t know how much money could be made.
And currently, there are just over nine million users. More will come later. For a top-level platform, with over one billion internet users now, a mere nine million is clearly a low proportion. Without tens of millions, or even over a hundred million users, it’s hard to have a presence.
But Xu Lin’s platform has a threshold, requiring education verification, thus forming a hierarchy. If you want to stir discussions and express bold views, you can boast at will on Zhihu, but here, you have to show your credentials. For some questions, if you’re not a PhD, you don’t get to voice out. This hierarchy has been established.
As such, a threshold is formed, filtering out the riffraff. Therefore, there’s no gossip and trivial content, but more knowledgeable content, and people with lower levels dare not speak lightly. On the contrary, it gathers many high-quality users who are either wealthy, highly educated, or have significant knowledge.
Xu Lin’s platform is not profitable, so he can pursue high-quality users, while he doesn’t want those who are chaotic and unruly.
After releasing the software, Xu Lin logged into Young Master Xu’s work account.
A new order came in recently.
It’s an order from a medium-sized company, for twenty million.
Twenty million is quite significant for Xu Lin, especially when he’s in need of money now.
This company wants an EPR system suitable for their enterprise, which is Enterprise Resource Planning.
Xu Lin had contacted this company during the day to understand their situation in detail, and now is starting the work.
This kind of EPR system means integrating the various core businesses of the enterprise to achieve optimized resource allocation and real-time sharing.
Xu Lin had already thought about how to proceed during the day.
For him, securing this twenty million is quite easy.
He uses Zhou Yi’s code, making it simpler and more stable, and it significantly reduces the cost of later maintenance.
All software and systems require various maintenance, bug fixes, and feature updates, which costs money each year.
But Xu Lin’s software isn’t that complex. It can be more stable than any other software. Maintenance and bug fixes are directly saved. For feature updates, one can just come to him.
Zhou Yi’s code significantly boosts Xu Lin’s work efficiency. In just one night, Xu Lin completed a system needed for a medium-sized enterprise.
If he used the basic Chinese programming code he initially released, it would take Xu Lin over ten days of work.
