"This is a great piece of software."
Although it was already early morning, Wang Hao wasn't planning to sleep.
He intended to produce the test video overnight to share this god-tier software with his fans.
Around six in the morning, an exhausted Wang Hao uploaded the video to major platforms. It was Sunday, and moreover, Wang Hao had a very large number of loyal fans.
As soon as the video was uploaded, his fans received notifications.
"Hello family, it's your old friend, Brother Hao."
After the opening remarks, Wang Hao got straight to the point: "Family, the most frustrating problem when using phones in the summer is overheating."
"Major phone manufacturers have also been trying hard to tune CPUs, but the results have been less than satisfactory."
"So, is there any way to solve the problem of high CPU operating temperatures? The answer is yes."
Wang Hao said excitedly: "Here, I want to introduce to you all a god-tier and great piece of software, Hyperdimension Smart Control Software. It can precisely control CPU temperature..."
In the video, Wang Hao detailed the Hyperdimension Tech Smart Control Software, and comments scrolled across the screen one after another.
"Damn, Old Wang is just shilling for crappy products now, isn't he?!"
"CPU heating up during operation is firstly because the summer ambient temperature itself is high, and secondly because phones can't have fans installed. How could software alone possibly solve this problem?"
"The guy before me is right. Old Wang is even reviewing scam software like this now? Has he really gotten that desperate?"
"..."
The comments were full of curses and skepticism, discussing how unrealistic software-based temperature control was.
But as the video progressed, and the testing process and results appeared one by one, the fans' skepticism began to waver.
At the end of the video, Wang Hao said: "Family, that's it for the Hyperdimension Smart Control Software review. The download link for the software has been placed in the comments section."
The fans who finished watching the video at this point all clicked the download link with great interest.
After downloading and registering the software, without further ado, they launched Genshin Impact and Honor of Kings at the highest graphics settings.
Half an hour later, different comments began to appear in the video's comment section.
"What kind of miracle software is this? Running Genshin at max settings, and the phone isn't hot at all. I checked the temperature, only 29 degrees Celsius. Absolutely awesome!"
"Old Wang, I was wrong. This software is truly f***ing amazing."
"Old Wang, feel free to shill like this anytime in the future. By the way, for anyone wanting to download the software, you can use my invitation code CW2358."
"..."
In dorm room 119 at Tianhai University, Lu Shaojun watched the feedback on Brother Hao's review video and nodded with satisfaction.
Without a second word, he found the review videos on major platforms and directly paid for traffic to get them trending.
At the same time, to incentivize already registered users, Lu Shaojun made a modification in the backend.
Inviting just one user would grant a month of usage time.
With everything set up, he just had to wait for the software to continue gaining traction.
Due to Wang Hao's large fanbase and Lu Shaojun's spending being effective, Wang Hao's review video immediately attracted widespread attention, and other tech reviewers quickly followed up with their own tests.
Users who had already tried the software, eager to increase their usage time, frantically invited new users.
Initially, the major phone manufacturers didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just some company's marketing tactic.
But as positive user feedback grew and the number of Smart Control software users exploded, the major phone manufacturers could no longer sit still.
These companies' approach was consistent: they arranged for technical staff to try and crack the software while simultaneously trying to contact Lu Shaojun.
However, Lu Shaojun completely ignored these companies.
These past few days, he was busy with graduation and setting up his company.
After getting his diploma and having a "farewell meal" with his three roommates, Lu Shaojun headed straight for Yanjing. Building the company required manpower, and more importantly, an experienced and capable key executive.
Lu Shaojun used the privileges of his Centurion Black Card to have American Express help scout talent.
American Express recommended three senior managers. After preliminary talks, only one was willing to come for an interview.
And today was the day of the interview.
Inside an upscale coffee shop in Yanjing, Lu Shaojun was looking down at his phone. Just then, an uncertain voice called out, "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Shaojun looked up, saw the person, stood up, extended his right hand, and smiled, "Mr. Xu Zhijun, hello."
The man quickly shook Lu Shaojun's hand.
After sitting down, Xu Zhijun's expression was still a bit strange.
Although he could vaguely guess from their phone conversation that the boss was very young, this was too young.
He looks like he just graduated from university, right?
Ignoring Xu Zhijun's gaze, Lu Shaojun said calmly, "Mr. Xu, I am very satisfied with your resume. I hope you can join my company. As for compensation, it's currently 3.6 million RMB per year, with bonuses calculated separately."
Hearing this, Xu Zhijun didn't hesitate, "Okay, I have no objections."
Lu Shaojun smiled and said, "Good. Before that, I'd like to know the reason you returned to China to pursue your career."
Xu Zhijun was also perceptive and explained, "A new ruler brings new courtiers."
Lu Shaojun had carefully reviewed Xu Zhijun's resume.
A month ago, Xu Zhijun held the position of Senior Manager at the French ENGIE Group.
ENGIE Group is one of the top energy companies globally. Being a Senior Manager there spoke volumes about Xu Zhijun's capabilities.
But for some unknown reason, Xu Zhijun had suddenly returned to China a month ago seeking career opportunities.
Lu Shaojun wanted to recruit Xu Zhijun with the intention of making him the COO and Executive Vice President of Hyperdimension Tech.
Therefore, these questions needed to be clarified.
Lu Shaojun smiled in understanding and said, "We can sign the contract now."
But Xu Zhijun wasn't in a hurry: "Mr. Lu, before signing, I'd like to know the company's initial plans."
For a startup company, the development plan and growth potential are paramount.
Xu Zhijun didn't want to waste his time.
Lu Shaojun said with a smile, "Currently, the company has only one project plan: operating the Hyperdimension Smart Control Software."
"As for subsequent development plans, you'll only be informed after the contract is signed."
Hearing this, Xu Zhijun frowned.
Before coming, Xu Zhijun had looked into the Hyperdimension Smart Control Software.
The software had significant value, but its potential seemed less than satisfactory.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Zhijun said, "Mr. Lu, we can sign the contract, and I'm willing to accept half the annual salary, but I have one condition."
Lu Shaojun asked curiously, "What condition?"
Xu Zhijun stated frankly, "We only sign the contract for one year. After one year, I will decide whether to stay or leave."
Lu Shaojun raised an eyebrow; he understood.
Xu Zhijun wasn't optimistic about Hyperdimension Tech's future.
After a moment of silence, Lu Shaojun smiled, "Your condition, I agree to it."
Xu Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Lu, we can sign the contract now."
