CHAPTER 159: CHAPTER 159: MILLION PRIZE POOL PLAN

For a moment, everyone wondered why they hadn’t independently developed a project.

But when they thought of the true value of that set of Chinese assembly, they all sighed helplessly.

There’s no way around it. This assembly language is incredibly powerful. If this news gets out, Li Zirui would instantly become a billionaire.

This statement isn’t wrong at all. Even though Lin Yi is currently keeping everyone sworn to secrecy, sooner or later, the news will be released.

Moreover, this pure Chinese assembly language will be made available for everyone to use.

It’s just a matter of time.

Thinking of this, that thick stack of cash in everyone’s hands suddenly seemed less appealing.

Every one of them turned their eager gazes towards the boss, hoping he would quickly release the research project.

When the last person finished collecting their money, Lin Yi stood up and took out fifty thousand yuan, then handed it smilingly to Li Huiqun:

"You’ve worked hard following me around these days, Qun. This is your bonus. Although you can’t participate in the others’ projects, we’ll be counting on you to safeguard us in the future."

This was something Li Huiqun entirely did not expect.

Faced with the stack of cash extended to him and Lin Yi’s sincere words, Li Huiqun didn’t know what to say for a moment.

\n(o)v.e\l.com

But the warmth in his heart made him feel touched.

He initially wanted to decline, but Lin Yi had already pushed the money into his hands and turned back to address everyone before he could speak.

"Alright, now that the bonuses have been distributed, I assume everyone’s anxious about the next project."

"I can tell you all that the upcoming project is challenging but also comes with a cheat code."

"Now let me introduce it to you one by one."

As he spoke, Lin Yi took out small boxes from his bag and continued:

"Next, we will have two different tasks. One is writing a virtual mobile operating system, just like Apple’s iOS and the commonly used Android system, except this will be a completely new mobile system.

And this system is not on the same level as the current systems.

In short, it will be designed to surpass all systems available on the market today.

And most importantly, this system requires us to use our newly developed full Chinese assembly language entirely."

At this, everyone was stunned. No one expected the boss to have them create a domestic system to outshine iOS.

It seemed like a pipe dream; even with their own programming language, this wasn’t an easy feat.

Lin Yi noticed everyone’s expressions and understood they lacked confidence.

But he simply smiled slightly and continued:

"Hehe, I know what’s on your minds, but as I said earlier, the upcoming project is challenging, yet we also have a cheat code.

That’s right; you didn’t hear wrong. We have a cheat!

Actually, calling it research is inaccurate.

Because we already have an existing system to imitate."

Hearing that it’s imitation rather than creation, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

It’s not that they lack ability, but developing a system isn’t something that a dozen or so people can complete overnight.

Of course, if it’s just a matter of imitation, it’s not as difficult.

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be any difficulty at all.

After all, the time and effort needed for a system are immense.

"Boss, leave the programming to me."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, everyone began discussing among themselves.

Eventually, it was Li Zirui who spoke up first.

There’s no helping it; besides Lin Yi, only Li Zirui was most familiar with the full Chinese assembly.

Lin Yi initially intended to assign this task to Li Zirui, as it would save unnecessary time.

Upon hearing Li Zirui’s words, no one objected.

Although reluctant to miss out on the doubled rewards for leading the team, they had no choice; they simply didn’t have the confidence to lead such a task.

After all, this was already a cross-generational invention.

"Very well, the system is in your hands, Zirui. Whatever you need, just say it. Manpower, material resources, equipment; get it done and file it to Li Huiqun as soon as possible."

With that, Lin Yi handed the small box containing the mobile hard drive to Li Zirui.

Seeing this, Li Zirui cautiously took it and lowered his head to start studying it carefully.

Seeing this, Lin Yi turned his attention away and looked at everyone, suddenly recalling something and smacking his forehead:

"Oh, I forgot something. Huiqun, go order a large glass display cabinet and put it in the work area outside with a million yuan inside."

After saying this, everyone looked puzzled.

Lin Yi didn’t keep them waiting, and quickly continued:

.

"This million yuan will serve as the bonus for your research project. I will establish a rating system, and as long as your successful project is determined to meet the corresponding level, you can win a million yuan!

The specific grade divisions will be announced later. Of course, even the highest grade won’t be stricter than the Chinese assembly language project."

Hearing this, the audience erupted in discussion. Everyone was shocked by the boss’s generosity and pondered whether they could win this massive bonus!

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Lin Yi was quite pleased. As long as you develop something of more value, not to mention a million, I’d be willing to give you tens of millions or even billions!

Just as Lin Yi was allowing everyone time to imagine, Li Zirui, who had been focusing on the hard drive, suddenly said:

"Boss, I just realized a problem. If we’re going to create a mobile operating system, won’t we face the issue of having no software available for it?

After all, as you said, our system will be brand new, so we definitely can’t follow in the footsteps of Android or Apple and use their software.

If we do, it wouldn’t be considered truly independent development."
