Do you have any good suggestions for system lag and slow phone performance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen waved him over, found a temporary meeting room, and sat down to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The usual approach is to reduce animations, lower screen resolution, sacrifice some user experience, or tackle it from hardware—increase RAM or use a stronger multi-core processor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng frowned, drawing from his experience at OPPO, and replied seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there a better solution at the system level?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen shrugged—he didn’t want to sacrifice user experience or use low-end processors to cut corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Improve the memory management mechanism or optimize process scheduling, but OPPO and other domestic phone makers have tried both—results were poor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng thought aloud as he spoke, pointing out the drawbacks of both methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than a decade later, Android phones didn’t lag after three or four years—partly because Google continuously upgraded the OS, fixing initial flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And partly because hardware advanced rapidly—16 GB RAM with 1 TB storage became standard, eliminating lag entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have an idea: divide data into young generation, old generation, and metaspace, create separate memory regions, and use intelligent algorithms to analyze garbage collection timing, frequency, and memory usage—cleaning junk data in the background in real time…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Wang Teng, Chen Yansen knew current phone makers had no good solution for system lag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused briefly, then spoke slowly, explaining his idea while dictating the code implementation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng listened, his pupils widening, face filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that just over twenty days ago, Chen Yansen didn’t understand programming or algorithms and had asked him for book recommendations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a month later, the man had gone from zero to professional level—clear thinking, offering a technically sound solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng’s mind churned—he really wanted to ask Chen Yansen: how did you get into Xu Cheng Academy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this learning ability, wasn’t Tsinghua or Peking University open for him to pick from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Did you get that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen noticed Wang Teng zoning out and raised his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m listening, Senior Chen, please continue,” Wang Teng snapped back, quickly responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, I don’t want a copy of OPPO’s UniqueUI—I want a completely new customized UI.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen patted Wang Teng’s shoulder and whispered a reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Senior Chen. I’ll immediately coordinate with the developers on the generational garbage collection algorithm you described and implement it ASAP.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng pondered it, decided Chen Yansen’s plan was viable, and gave a firm assurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, go back and get to work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen turned and walked back upstairs, picked up his books, and headed for the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Chen Yansen spent a lot of time in the library—reading computer science and software engineering books, occasionally flipping through French vocabulary books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Building on his English-learning experience, he discovered he could master a new language in seven days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First two days: focus on vocabulary, grammar structures, parts of speech, and sentence patterns; days three and four: watch ten original-language films; days five and six: integrate everything through deliberate practice, adjusting pronunciation, intonation, and expression; by day seven, he could speak fluent English or French.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Africa is the third-largest smartphone market—70% of adults are under 30, and their demand and curiosity for digital products rival Southeast Asia’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen wouldn’t miss such a huge market; learning French early was preparation for expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, nearly 200 million people on that continent use French as an official language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen took the book he’d just borrowed, went upstairs to the reading room, and focused on reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Guobin saw this scene, he’d likely be stunned—Chen Yansen had never been a diligent student since childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vibrating—” His phone buzzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen pulled out his phone, pressed answer, and before he could speak, Liao Wei said on the other end: “Senior Chen, the Lighthouse country warehouse is ready, staff are in place—when can FoxTaobao’s overseas shopping assistant feature go live?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anytime—just don’t mess this up,” Chen Yansen replied with a smile, tone light but warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I’m overseeing it personally,” Liao Wei quickly assured—he knew what Chen Yansen feared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fake wine scandal had caused YunSu Express’s order volume to plummet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after Chen Yansen intervened, WineGod.com terminated its exclusive partnership with YunSu and switched to another courier company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei knew clearly—if he failed to satisfy Chen Yansen this time, he’d likely be stuck struggling with YunSu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others give you chances—you have to seize them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, add the order coordination person to the project group and get it live ASAP.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen replied promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of overseas transit warehouses had been his since nearly two months ago—it had indeed dragged on too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew Liao Wei had already shown great ability by securing the overseas warehouse and hiring staff; few others could have pulled it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen held the phone, walked to the window corridor, and called Zhuang Rui to deploy the pre-developed overseas shopping transit feature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Senior Chen,” Zhuang Rui received the order and immediately followed instructions—first testing the new feature on 20% of users to observe conversion rates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d decide whether to roll it out fully based on the results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With FoxTaobao’s daily active users nearing 3 million, launching a new feature directly carried too much risk—AB testing or unit testing was standard to minimize potential bug damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1358,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","371f78818aefafc6f4ed53a094b3552aa54bd0c639112d4dbd249842e1a6af9e","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-121","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-119",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
