Not only did the reporter want to interview him, but she also wanted to visit the studio. So, the meeting place was naturally the Ant's Nest.
Fang Tian was now just a small software author in the IT world. Although his software was popular, it was far from Bill Gates' level.
If the other party wanted to interview him, he was not qualified to act like a big shot.
An hour later, Fang Tian arrived at the Ant's Nest neighborhood.
This neighborhood was full of old buildings. It looked like they would all collapse in a magnitude 4 earthquake.
Fang Tian got out of the car and looked around. There was no one. The reporter had not arrived yet. She was waiting downstairs.
Ten minutes later, he still did not see her.
Fang Tian thought that when he became famous in the future, he must act like a big shot. Hold a press conference and let the reporters wait for three or four hours. Hehe!
Just as he was thinking, a girl in red appeared in front of him. She looked like a college student who had just graduated.
"May I ask who you are?" The girl in red stood in front of Fang Tian and asked tentatively. She did not know Fang Tian's real name. She only knew his online ID.
Fang Tian looked at the girl in red and smiled. "I am Mr. K."
She did not expect Mr. K to be so young. The girl in red showed her reporter ID and smiled. "I am a reporter from the Eastern Times. My surname is Cai. I am very happy to interview you! "
She had a beautiful smile on her face as she extended her jade-like hand.
Fang Tian shook her hand and said with a smile, "Do I need to show my ID to prove that I am King?"
Miss Cai laughed. "Rumor has it that King is a very special person. So it is true!"
Fang Tian let go of her hand and turned around. He walked in front and said, "You want to visit the Ant's Nest studio, right? Follow me!"
"The interview has begun." Miss Cai held the recording device and followed Fang Tian. "May I ask what your real name is, Mr. K?"
"Is that important?" Fang Tian said as he walked up the stairs.
Miss Cai knew that Fang Tian did not want to reveal his name for the time being, so she did not ask. Looking at the old building, she asked curiously, "Your studio is in this building?"
"Yes, and it's on the ninth floor."
Young Mistress Cai's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Looks like there isn't even an elevator, right? Don't you feel tired working here? "
Fang Tian led her up the stairs. "Just treat it as exercise if you face the computer all day long."
"Mr. K, you are very bold!" Miss Cai praised, "No wonder your software achieved such great success in less than a month!"
Fang Tian said modestly, "Just a small achievement."
Reporter Cai was very curious. "By the way, Mr. K, why is your studio named 'Ant's Nest'? Is there a special meaning?"
Fang Tian chuckled and said, "You'll know when you come up."
Miss Cai followed Fang Tian up to the ninth floor.
She took a deep breath and looked ahead. She was shocked!
The corridor was narrow, and the lighting was poor. It was very dim. No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like an office.
"This, this is your office?" Reporter Cai stared at Fang Tian with wide eyes.
"Yes." Fang Tian took a few steps forward. With the key in his hand, he opened the iron door of the room and pushed it open. "The software was developed here."
The room was very narrow. It was only four or five square meters. Other than a bed for sleeping and a computer desk, the remaining space was less than two square meters.
Miss Cai's eyes widened even more. Her mouth was O-shaped, and her face was full of shock! "Oh my god, this is your office?"
Reporter Cai walked in and looked around. When she turned around, she accidentally bumped into Fang Tian. She quickly apologized. "Sorry!"
"It's okay." Fang Tian smiled and said, "Do you need to sit down?"
"No." Reporter Cai shook her head. "Let's just stand here for the interview."
She looked around again. "I finally know why it's called 'Ant's Nest'. It's really small! Just like an ant's nest. "
Fang Tian looked at Miss Cai in front of him. "Not only that, when it rains, the room will leak. Haha!"
"…" Miss Cai was so shocked that she did not know what to say.
She originally thought that to be able to develop such an excellent software, it should be a team, and the office should be very spacious.
If she did not see it with her own eyes, she would not have believed it.
After the shock, Miss Cai looked at him with confusion. "Why did you choose such a place to work?"
"It's mainly because of the lack of funds." Fang Tian said, "This is actually my friend's residence. It's not just you. When I first came here, I was also shocked! "
Reporter Cai did not understand. "Even if the funds are insufficient, you don't have to choose this place, right?"
Fang Tian smiled and replied, "I didn't intend to choose this place, but I've unknowingly gotten used to it. It's a kind of test for myself! "
Reporter Cai said with admiration, "Mr. K, you really make me admire you. I didn't expect such an excellent product to be born in such an environment! "
At the mention of this, Fang Tian said with some emotion, "Maybe we are a little extreme. In fact, many IT startup teams are not much better. Many investors are not optimistic about us. Lacking funds, the office is not much better. "
Reporter Cai continued to ask, "To develop this software, how much funds did you invest?"
Fang Tian thought for a moment and said, "I didn't calculate it specifically, but it's definitely more than two hundred thousand."
For a studio, the investment was not small.
Reporter Cai asked, "With such a large investment, how did you make a profit? It seems that your software is still free, right?"
It seemed very difficult to explain this to people of this era. Fang Tian thought for a moment and said with a smile, "This involves the question of how to live off a woman. It's a long story."
"Live off a woman?" Miss Cai was surprised and looked at him strangely.
Fang Tian laughed and said, "Living off software development is called living off a woman! This is a term I use habitually! "
Miss Cai laughed. "Hehe, Mr. K, your words are really interesting!"
Reporter Cai asked again, "Since it's an ant's nest, it shouldn't be just you, Mr. K?"
Fang Tian nodded and said, "There's another programmer. There are two developers in total."
There were a lot of things that shocked Reporter Cai today. Such a powerful application software was actually created by two people.
Fang Tian said, "Actually, the software already has a certain foundation. It's not difficult to develop it later."
"Let me ask a very important question. It's also what I want to know the most this time." Reporter Cai raised her head and looked straight at Fang Tian. She asked, "Mr. K, why do you think the software can achieve such great success in such a short time?"
"Three words." Fang Tian raised three fingers and said, "Disruptive!"
