Rebirth My boss is too rich!

The next day, Sunday, June 13, 1999

Zhang Zhidong came to the company listlessly with two dark circles under his eyes. He worked overtime until 1 o’clock in the morning last night and finally developed the new version of QQ1999 client.

This OICQ update has a lot of content, and the capacity has been reduced by one-tenth, to 998k, not even 1M.

This is already the limit of what Zhang Zhidong can do

“Boss, would you like to test it?”

Zhang Zhidong yawned, and Da Li next to him was a little sleepy. Except for Ma Huateng, the other two were also in a sleepy state.

“Okay, you go and have a rest first. Xiaoma and I will test it out. Don’t forget to go to Huaqiangbei to purchase server parts with Brother Dong later!”

“It must be installed before getting off work. We have to upload the latest version 1.0 of OICQ to the Internet at night!”

“OK！”

Big Li was lying on the table, but his hands were raised and he made a scissors gesture.

Su Zhe and Ma Huateng stayed in the office and began to test the latest QQ1999.1.0 version. The other three were already asleep there, and Da Li even made a sound like a pig.

Shaking his head, Su Zhe looked at the computer, looking at the results of Zhang Zhidong’s work last night.

In Su Zhe’s eyes, this latest version is obviously extremely rough, but compared with the Internet Elf, PICQ and so on on the market, it is undoubtedly much better.

Even instant messaging giants like ICQ are still unable to compete with QQ.

The first is to customize the avatar, there are more than 20 kinds, all of which are very popular elements – Sun Wukong, Nezha, White Snake, etc. This is of course Su Zhe’s suggestion.

There were actually many QQ avatars in previous lives, such as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, etc., but this was obviously infringement, and Tengxun paid a large fee for this.

But Sun Wukong, in 1999 when the domestic copyright awareness was weak, it was obvious that anyone could take advantage of it.

Secondly, chat records are backed up. If different terminals log in to the same QQ account, the chat records are automatically saved and can be read at any time. ICQ also does not have this function.

Even, it cannot even share the friend list. If you change a computer, all contacts will be cleared.

This is of course related to national conditions

In the United States in 1998, personal computers were very popular. Many middle-class families owned more than one computer, and most white-collar workers owned their own laptops.

However, in China, the penetration rate of personal computers is less than 1%. There are 6.5 million Internet users in the country, and more than 80% are young people under the age of 25, or even junior high school students. It is basically impossible for them to have their own dedicated computers.

Internet cafes are their special place

Therefore, this chat history and contact list have become particularly important.

This point has not been discovered by either ICQ, NetElf’s Polaris or Feihua’s PICQ.

“ICQ is due to national conditions, and the North Star of the Internet Elf does not have that strength. They do not even have a partner like Shencheng Telecom, and they still use servers from Internet cafes. Such servers undoubtedly cannot withstand such huge data; as for the final Feihua, They o

nly cooperate with the government!”

“Government computers are fixed, so almost like in the United States, a computer is almost bound to a contact list, so……”

Su Zhe shrugged, and Ma Huateng suddenly realized

This trick for contacts and chat records seems simple, but in fact it is also a killer trick.

Very surprising victory

“So these three opponents are nothing to worry about!”

“I didn’t take them to heart at all, it was too weak!”

Su Zhe and Ma Huateng sent QQ messages, and tested offline message reception, special prompt sounds, couple prompt sounds, etc., and they were basically very stable.

“Oh, I almost forgot!”

Su Zhe looked at the column of adding friends and suddenly thought of a question:”Remember to ask Brother Dong to add a ‘random pairing of online strangers of the same sex in the same city’ later”’！”

“oh?”

Ma Huateng’s eyes suddenly lit up:”In the same city…random matching of opposite sexes with strangers online?”

“Well, this function is actually very good, and we can set restrictions. For example, you can only add 1 person of the opposite sex in the same city a day, but if you recommend a friend to install our program, you can unlock up to 5!”

“……”

Su Zhe’s words made Ma Huateng freeze there.

He understood in seconds

Because he is also a young man

This function is really powerful!

Chatting with the opposite sex is something that many young people like to do, especially with strangers of the opposite sex.

Later WeChat”Search for nearby people””、””Drifting Bottle” and so on, all became famous based on this kind of heterosexual chat.

To put it simply, it means that I want to have sex in the same city!

Young people’s hormones are a bit irritable, so chatting with the opposite sex can increase their excitement. This is a natural sense of expectation. They look forward to chatting with the opposite sex in the same city.

Then go offline

Even if you are married, if a beautiful woman of the opposite sex strikes up a conversation with you, you will still feel excited inside.

The Momo app can be launched based on this function.

“No wonder boss, you want to buy a server. I am sure that as soon as this function comes online, our server will explode tomorrow!”

Ma Huateng said excitedly, he couldn’t wait to add this function

At the same time, in my heart, I admired Su Zhe even more.

My boss seems to be born for Internet products. A casual suggestion is almost a god-level function.

A lot of logical thinking, it’s so powerful that it’s boundless

Just like this online heterosexual matching of strangers, it is absolutely a stroke of genius

After Su Zhe and Ma Huateng tested the software, they asked Zhang Zhidong to continue processing and add the functions Su Zhe mentioned. Then he and Da Li went to Huaqiangbei non-stop to buy a bunch of server parts, CPUs, etc.

It was already 6pm when the assembly was completed, but no one mentioned eating. The moment they saw the server light up, everyone in the office showed a look of joy on their faces.

“Next, it’s time to witness the miracle!”

Watching Zhang Zhidong send the latest developed and tested OICQ program package to various software park sites, everyone’s face showed a hint of expectation.

Su Zhe is also guessing, after tomorrow…how many QQ users will there be?
