When Lu Ze returned to the hotel, he saw Lin Youyou knocking at the door of his room.

This is Lin Youyou's fourth time coming to confirm whether Lu Ze has come back. Lu Ze went to find Su Jinyi, and her heart was empty all day long, and she was absent-minded in taking photos and interviews today.

Seeing that Lu Ze finally came back, Lin Youyou's eyes lit up: "You're back!"

"Well, have you had supper?" Lu Ze nodded and asked.

Lin Youyou smiled and replied softly: "Well, Sister Wei Shi invited me to eat."

"Have you finished the work on "Mengguo"?" Lu Ze mentioned the serious matter again.

Lin Youyou shook her head and said a little worriedly: "No, I will communicate with the publishing teacher tomorrow about the novel publishing." She will continue to be busy tomorrow, and Lu Ze will definitely leave her behind and go to find Su Jinyi.

"Well, I guess it will be almost done in another one or two days. We will prepare tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It's time to go back." Lu Ze told her his plan.

Lin Youyou agreed happily. She always felt uneasy in the Demon City, and she felt relieved when she heard that she was going back.

The next morning, Lu Ze sent Lin Youyou to Mengya magazine first, and chatted with Zhao Changqiang and Hu Weishi for a long time before rushing to find Su Jinyi at the university.

When he arrived, Su Jinyi just finished class.

Today, he finally got rid of Wang Mengmeng, the big light bulb. Lu Ze and Su Jinyi found a Sichuan restaurant to improve the food.

Boiled fish, double-cooked pork, spicy chicken, couple lung slices, Mao Xuewang, and ordered a large table, which made Su Jin waste it all the time. After all, there were no two best friends who helped share the burden today. With her and Lu Ze's fighting power, she couldn't eat so much.

After lunch, Su Jin felt very distressed when she saw a table of unfinished food left. If she hadn't had anything to do in the afternoon, she wouldn't want to leave and would have sat until the evening to continue eating.

When she went back to school, Su Jinyi took Lu Ze directly to the computer room. Last night, she called the senior brothers from the Geek Community and asked them to meet here.

When Lu Ze and Su Jin arrived, President Zhou Yanbin, Secretary-General Zhang Xiangming and several technical backbones of the club were already waiting for them.

As he arrived late, Su Jinyi apologized embarrassedly: "Dear brothers, sorry, we are late."

"It's okay, we don't go to class anyway, so we're staying here all the time." President Zhou Yanbin replied politely.

Su Jin first introduced to everyone: "Dear brothers, this is my friend Lu Ze, who has a software product that he wants to entrust to our club to do."

Everyone looked at Lu Ze curiously and guessed what kind of friend Lu Ze and Su Jinyi were.

Not a boyfriend, right?

After guessing a certain possibility, everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Ze with envious and jealous eyes.

Lu Ze followed and said, "Dear brothers, Yiyi and I are good friends. She often praises the interesting clubs in the geek community, and the professional skills of all of you are very good.

I have a small software here and I want to entrust it to everyone to help develop.

I will fund you a fee, and all the people involved in the development will be paid and will not disappoint everyone."

"If you don't have money, let's talk about what software you want to develop first.

If it were a large ERP management software, we just couldn't do it." President Zhou Yanbin always had something to say before and didn't want to waste everyone's time.

Of course, Lu Ze knew it, so he asked with a smile: "Haha, I wonder if you have ever heard of Internet cafes?"

"Of course I have heard of Internet cafes. After all, this is a magic capital. Many things in China are popular here.

What's more, we are professional in computer science. How could we not know about new things like Internet cafes?" Secretary-General Zhang Xiangming responded proudly.

Lu Ze no longer keeps it in a silence: "Everyone knows that it is much simpler. I want to entrust you to help develop a management software for Internet cafe operation."

"Internet cafe management software?" Not only was the president Zhou Yanbin surprised, but Zhang Xiangming and other backbones of the club were also shocked.

Lu Ze added: "That's right, it's the Internet cafe operation and management software, mainly the computer's remote permission control and on-time billing management functions."

Then, he briefly described the functional requirements of the earliest Internet cafe operation and management software.

"That's it? It's not difficult." Secretary-General Zhang Xiangming replied disdainfully.

"Yes, such a simple function does it take to find so many of us? Lao Zhang, you have been alone for several days and nights, hahaha." He Wenchao, another club technical backbone, said jokingly.

Lu Ze knew that they had made things simple, so he naturally couldn't come here to find these future elite programmers just for this little thing.

The Internet cafe management software he described just now only mentioned the simplest functions, but did not tell all the subsequent requirements.

Although he was not an IT business in his previous life, it does not mean that he does not understand product thinking.

Whether developing software or making Internet products, the most important thing is to use product thinking to plan the development process and arrange the development progress. The so-called product thinking is a comprehensive thinking to solve problems, which is the process of further productizing problem solutions.

Software development, Internet product research and development, essential and industrial research and development are the same thing.

Product thinking is to keep something at a high-quality level and do it repeatedly. A single time is art, marketing, etc., and industrial products can be mass-produced.

Software development and Internet product research and development are also industrial models. We need to look at things from a God's perspective, look at customer needs, pay attention to how the product is created, and constantly optimize it.

Lu Ze is still very familiar with basic product thinking.

Therefore, for Internet cafe operation and management software, he threw out all functions without just a single moment. One is because of customer needs, and the other is because of the difficulty of development.

First of all, the domestic Internet cafe industry is just starting out, and most of them are small Internet cafes with twenty or thirty computers. If you build a management software with particularly complex functions, the market will not have any demand.

Secondly, developing a complex software not only takes longer, but also requires a larger team and more capital investment.

Before the market has even taken shape, you will spend a lot of money to develop mature products in a few years in advance and then cannot be sold. Wouldn't you be mentally ill?

When doing software development or Internet product research and development, you must use product thinking to guide it. One of the key concepts is iterative thinking. Because there is no most perfect software in the world, only the most suitable software, and product research and development cannot be achieved in one step.

From simple to complex, from core functions to functional systems, upgrade and iterate step by step to complete the entire R&D process. This is scientific thinking.

There is a saying in the entrepreneurial circle: One step faster is a genius, two steps faster is a madman, and three steps faster is a martyr. This is true whether it is a business model or product functions.

Taking the lead too early is not necessarily a good thing, but it will surpass market demand ahead of time. In the end, before customer demand is established, you can't stand it because of a broken capital chain.

For example, you developed an online video website in the era of dial-up Internet access.

But in the era of a few kb internet speeds, no one could watch videos online on your website. The result you developed in advance was that no one could use it, and in the end, if you couldn't persist, you would have to go bankrupt.

This is why in 1999, most domestic news websites were mainly text, and even pictures were not many.

Seeing that these future elite programmers looked disrespectful, Lu Ze understood their thoughts very well.

This group of IT men must win their respect professionally so that they will have a good impression of you and are willing to communicate with you well. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to work with them.

Lu Ze smiled slightly and replied calmly: "Dear brothers, have you made things simple?

I just talked about the first phase of development plan.”
