1991 Starting from the core

Special Zone, Yuanxin Internet Research Center.

Pony is in the office discussing EM's next stage goals with several team leaders.

"Pony, I still insist that it is right to find the right profit point." The programmer who spoke is called Fei Changgeng, who is also Pony's classmate and can be regarded as a member of Pony's internal promotion: "In the past half month, just renting The server alone cost hundreds of thousands. Although this money may seem like a drop in the bucket for Yuanxin, in the long run, even Yuanxin will not be able to bear it.”

Someone immediately retorted: "But Lao Fei, don't forget, the Internet is an emerging market, how can it be so easy to find profit points?"

"Because it is an emerging market, we need to find a profitable direction. Don't forget, we are a subsidiary of Yuanxin, not an independent start-up company. If it is an independent start-up company, we can also use the investment boom to attract venture capital …”

"If you have users, you can advertise."

"There are only 10,000 people online now. Even if 100,000 are online, how many advertisers will be interested in it?"

Seeing everyone continuing to argue, Pony was a little bit confused.

He sent EM messages and emails to Su Yuanshan. Although he talked about the number of registrations and online numbers very well, the cost is also expensive.

The cost is mainly on the server - because to achieve offline information, it means that the server's capabilities increase exponentially.

This function was decided by Su Yuanshan. I guess Su Yuanshan didn't expect that EM's data processing capabilities on the server would be so abnormal.

At this time, there was a beeping sound from the computer buzzer. Pony knew that there was new news. After thinking about it, he got up and went to the desk. When he saw Su Yuanshan's name flashing, he took a breath. Tone, double-click to open the message.

A second later, Pony exhaled slowly, touched his glasses, and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Mr. Shan said that our Internet thinking surpasses that of the West."

"This word..." Pony glanced across it, and after a few seconds, he smiled again: "We usually discuss it, and people mention it on the forum."

“But what exactly is internet thinking?”

"I believe that the Internet was originally created to facilitate people's communication and communication, and to facilitate people's lives. Only when we are close to users and integrated into life can we call it Internet thinking."

"Just like our EM slogan 'EM, make communication easy', what we need to do now is to work hard to make a good product. Once we have a user base and then consider profit, the direction will be much broader - even if it is to receive advertising, Can you pick up more!"

Pony read Su Yuanshan's reply again, waved his hand enthusiastically: "Next step, specialize in group real-time chat!"

"We want to challenge the two eternal fields of EMAIL and BBS at the same time! Let EM completely become a permanent guest on people's computers in the future, and become the communication software that people can't live without!"

"Well, Pony, I think it's better to change communication to social interaction."

The speaker was Li Xingwang, a technician in the department who was interested in promotion work. He looked at Pony and explained: "If we compare the Internet to a sea, then every netizen is a lonely boat in the sea. In addition to gaining access to the Internet, Consultation and friendship can also be gained.”

Pony's eyes slowly lit up, and he clenched his fists and said, "Okay! This is good, bring up the social attributes when promoting!"

At this time, everyone was talking again.

"Then the friend recommendation function should be optimized...for example, adding friends from a certain area?"

"You can also add gender and age!"

"Yes, you should also pick up your hobbies, so you can easily find someone you like."

"Hey, everyone, don't forget, Xibian pays great attention to privacy."

“Wouldn’t it be enough to add a privacy clause?”

"Then this will be a big project. Can the server bear it..."

"Isn't it enough to impose restrictions?"

…

Yuanxin, Su Yuanshan's office.

In order to promote his products, Pony sent an email saying that all unimportant and informal communication should be with him on EM.

For example, he quickly sent a message to Su Yuanshan, saying that EM's next step was to continue to add servers around the world and strive to have all servers around the world set up within a year. In terms of publicity, the social communication attributes of EM are highlighted, and technically, the group chat technology that has been prepared for a long time is implemented.

Since the future Internet will turn the earth into a global village, the goal of EM is to strive to become the phone number of everyone in the village.

Su Yuanshan's reply was only one word, plus three exclamation points.

good! ! !

"Brother Ma is so damn ambitious." Su Yuanshan said to Zhou Xiaohui who came in holding the documents: "Remember Brother Ma?"

"Well, that Pony who told jokes on the Huiduo forum?"

"Yes..." Su Yuanshan squinted his eyes slightly, and an uncontrollable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "To be honest, I really want to see the faces of certain departments now."

Zhou Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, confused: "Huh? What department?"

"Nothing, haha..." Su Yuanshan opened the email client and entered Yang Yiwen's account number in the recipient field.

After thinking silently for a moment, Su Yuanshan opened the document and wrote in the document.

——Sister Yiwen, if the relevant departments of the M party inspect the hosting servers of EM and Email in the west for security reasons, they must fully cooperate and record the relevant processes in detail and keep them confidential. They need to be specific to every minute and every second, even Every punctuation mark.

——At the same time, we also actively cooperate with them in supervision. Of course, be careful to use your privacy rights to protest a little.

After encrypting the document, Su Yuanshan saved it as an attachment and clicked send.

During the installation process of the server, engineers from Yuanxin Internet Research Center went to the west, but after the installation was completed, the maintenance of the server and database was entrusted to Xinghai. Therefore, if the relevant departments in the west are really alerted, Xinghai will be the first to be contacted.

After the email was sent, Su Yuanshan lay on the chair and couldn't stop being happy.

He knew that the voyeuristic habits of some units in the west were not formed in a day or two - without a strong spy and information team, the Allies could win during World War II, but it would never be that easy.

Not to mention the voyeurism during the Cold War, both parties wanted to know what people were talking about in their sleep.

Nowadays, Yuanxin directly launches EMAIL and EM, two big killers of communication in the Internet era. If they don't find ways to take a look, their fine traditions and excellent technical talents will really be lost.

As EM and Email aspire to become world-class communication tools, Su Yuanshan doesn't even need to hold up a stick to the other person. He can lie down directly with just a look from the other person.

It’s not like he was listening to the wall anyway.
