From Easy Language to AI: I Gave a Factory a Brain

[Originally titled “Smart Manager,” a True Record of Starting a Business] This is not a wish-fulfillment novel. It is adapted from a real entrepreneurial story. The content after Chapter 45 is essentially my presentation, a preview of the future development of Zhiku ERP.

In 2018, Ren Xingbing, a junior high school graduate who owned a door and window factory, kept cutting materials incorrectly, so he spent 680 yuan on a copy of Easy Language.

He wondered: Could he write software to stop the machines from making mistakes?

Seven years later, his “Smart Manager” had grown into an AI agent, managing production at 3,000 factories.

From a single line of “Hello, World!” code to giving businesses a thinking “digital brain.”

This is a digital revolution that began on the factory floor.

A story about an ordinary man who used code to change an industry.
