Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Li Ying is a little busy these days. She feels that this busyness has started since she boarded the plane back to China on May 21.

Although the leader next to her didn't tell her what to do these days, he was so engaged that she couldn't help but keep up with the pace.

As for the management system framework of the new company, she could only take time to discuss it with him while eating.

Not only that, they had just negotiated the cooperation with the newly joined Zhang Xiaolong last Friday, and they agreed that the Boda team would rush to Chuting this Monday. In less than three hours in the morning, they had negotiated the acquisition of foxmail from Boda.

matters.

Boda CEO Zhu Bo and his team of 7 people came and left quickly. They left with proud smiles, as if they had won a battle.

But as soon as they left at the other end of the negotiation table, Li Ying couldn't see any trace of frustration on Ning Zimo's face.

Is this still a win-win situation?

Zhang Xiaolong was also very surprised. Looking at Ning Zimo while he was sorting out the information, he hurriedly said, "That's 2 million US dollars. When they bought my foxmail, they only invested 12 million. What's more, they gave me

Boda's shares are not cash yet.

The final transaction price was as high as 2 million, which is more than 16 million yuan. They have not used 4 million to support our team in the past two years. What's more, some people in the team were transferred from other departments when Boda's operations were not going well."

Although the dust had settled, Zhang Xiaolong still felt that Ning Zimo's valuation of foxmail's copyright was a bit too high, and there was a sense of regret in his words. Ning Zimo finished sorting out the information and pushed it to Li Ying, and stood up from the stool.

, stretched out his arms and legs vigorously, and only looked at Zhang Xiaolong after the boss slouched over.

"Let them earn some, let them earn some. What we want is time. For us, money may be important, but no amount of money can buy time."

Ning Zimo really wasn't pretending when he said this. If he had a choice in this life, he would really rather choose to travel back to 1990. That way, he would have more preparation time to do more things. But in this current situation

Time, maybe talking with Boda for half a month and a month can make it cheaper.

But that time was wasted, where can his plan not find the time back?

The opponent started much earlier than him, and he had to make such a choice.

Besides...

"Besides, my plan is to get it within 3 million. Now I have only used 2 million, and the remaining 1 million US dollars can be saved for the team to use as operating expenses for a period of time. So, the so-called extra money, Boda helped us at that time

Take care of the team’s hosting fees.”

Ning Zimo shook his head left and right, but Zhang Xiaolong understood that he was referring to the group of people in this office who were still guarding Foxmail.

"Without the massive investment, Foxmail would not have reached its current scale even if you persisted." Ning Zimo saw that Zhang Xiaolong understood what he had just done, and continued, "So we don't need to hold down the price for too long.

.

Because we waste one more day here, we will have to wait one more day for our project to start." Ning Zimo put his hands on the table, and tapped the table twice with the index and middle fingers of his right hand, "For those of us working on the project, we will have to wait for another day."

For those who chase time, the thing we chase is worth much more than the value of money itself!”

Ning Zimo's eloquent words were not only heard by Zhang Xiaolong, but also by other people in this office.

In addition to staying in the hotel these days, Ning Zimo also works with the foxmail team. Although they have heard a lot about foxmail's prostitution from Chen Li, they only discovered this when they actually came into contact with the new boss.

The scary thing about young bosses.

Younger than them!

Richer than them!

What's important is that the handsome young boss actually works harder than them.

horrible!

Zhang Xiaolong didn't notice that the eyes of his partners around him were on him and Ning Zimo. He was still chewing on what Ning Zimo just said. When he thought that he had indeed wasted a lot of time in the past two years at Boda, he always felt that

Not a good taste.

After sorting out the information, Li Ying raised her head and saw the troubled expression on Zhang Xiaolong's face. She lightly bumped Ning Zimo with her arm, and when he looked over, she raised her chin at Zhang Xiaolong.

Ning Zimo shook his head slightly. In his opinion, that was the top priority that he must implant into the core thinking of the team.

But Li Ying didn't see it that way. She glared at Ning Zimo slightly, raised her head and said to Zhang Xiaolong, "Brother Zhang, now that the acquisition of Boda has been dealt with, what Zimo wants to do most now is how to do things in the computer."

Let me show you a good software interface.”

"ah?"

Li Ying's words aroused Zhang Xiaolong's exclamation, and also attracted the attention of the people around him who had just spent two days with Ning Zimo.

None of them expected that the young boss would do things so vigorously and step by step.

Zhang Xiaolong quickly threw those messy thoughts aside, grabbed Ning Zimo's arm and asked excitedly, "Are you ready so quickly?"

Ning Zimo glanced at Li Ying helplessly and found that she was smiling secretly. So he pretended to glare at her, but found that she was completely indifferent, so he gave up the idea of ​​threatening her.

When he took out his notebook from his bag, he focused on his work again.

Opening his thinkpad, Ning Zimo smiled and nodded at Zhang Xiaolong, "Since we are now a family, let me show you the future I planned for Foxmail early in the morning."

After entering the system, Ning Zimo opened [Nuwa] and opened a file called foxmail. Then a simple email interface appeared in front of Zhang Xiaolong who was sitting hurriedly next to him. Chen Li also joined in, but she was the first to pay attention.

The point was not in the interface itself. She pointed at the Nuwa software and asked curiously, "What software is this?"

Ning Zimo had a good impression of this girl in the past two days. He saw that she was a hardworking person with strong logical thinking. It was no wonder that Zhang Xiaolong took her with him when he went to see him. After all, among a group of rough guys,

This girl is the most attentive.

So, Ning Zimo patiently explained, "This is a software prototyping tool. It is used to design software interface prototypes and functions, and plays an important role in the development collaboration process. Using this software to develop other software can

Save a lot of time.”

After saying that, he ignored Chen Li's ignorant expression and smiled enigmatically.

"For foxmail's planning, I divided it into three parts.

First, keep the email software Foxmail constantly updated.

Second, establish a project to develop a web mailbox system.

Third, reserve a module for instant text chat function and integrate it into the new web mailbox."

"What is the text chat module?" Zhang Xiaolong felt melancholy again.

Who would have thought that this boss is so connected?

"It is an instant messaging software that focuses on voice calls. It is expected to be launched in the entire Omni market from Europe by the end of this year."

Ning Zimo gave a simple explanation, and then regardless of whether Zhang Xiaolong could digest the information, he forcibly ended the topic here and turned to the details of foxmail.

"First of all, Foxmail's original user base cannot be lost. They are our loyal fans. If we serve them well, one day they will be able to give back to us...

Second, re-establishing a web mailbox system is the top priority we have talked about before in establishing an ecological chain in Omi Internet...

Third, the text chat module is a long-term layout. In my concept, it will include text, voice, video, search, translation and other functions. However, it will only gradually appear in subsequent versions of the web mailbox system.

It is an important core for us to remain competitive in similar products..."

While Ning Zimo was talking about the product, Li Ying sat opposite him and listened quietly.

Because, a group of engineers had already stood behind Ning Zimo, with focused expressions on their faces, listening attentively to Ning Zimo's future plans for the foxmail team.

They need demonstrations in their professional fields more than she does.

As for her, as long as she can understand his intentions and keep up with the rhythm.

…

After listening to Ning Zimo's story, Zhang Xiaolong took a long breath and felt that he suddenly felt enlightened.

The frameworks I saw a few days ago turned out to be particularly smooth when explained by this young boss.

He can feel that if his plan is followed, the mailbox will become an important link in the [bing ecological chain].

At that time, a seemingly useless thing like a mailbox could also exert great value.

Zhang Xiaolong breathed out a long breath, and he felt that the depression accumulated in the past few days seemed to be brought out by him with this breath.

"I thought it would take a long time to open that door, and I would not see the results until the end. But I didn't expect that you would even use a software interface to visualize the future plans of our team. In this way, the team

The division of labor can be very clear, and I think it won't take long for us to accomplish the goals you set."

Ning Zimo nodded, then shook his head, "My experience alone is too scattered, so I can't do much. But I tried my best to drive out the user interaction parts that I need to pay attention to and that I'm afraid you will miss.

The rest is our team's own business. How you, the leader, plan to train them will determine what excellent products we can create in the future. My opinion is that there is no need to rush these three parts, work slowly and carefully.

It’s just that I think there must be a disruptive change in this product, so I have a point that I need to discuss with you.”

Zhang Xiaolong had already learned in detail that Ning Zimo used 2 million US dollars in exchange for the foxmail software and the direction of the team, but he was very curious about the parts that Ning Zimo said needed to be discussed.

"What point?"

"The biggest disadvantage of web-based software is that it frequently refreshes the page. We need refresh-free technology. This asynchronous communication technology will make the web page look more responsive. This will be a new user experience that subverts the old era."

Ning Zimo told Zhang Xiaolong the features of ajax, which was only released in 2006 in his previous life. Although he also knew that it was too early to mention this technology. But in order to be the first person to lead the world, in order to compete with Fengyu's email products

, foxmail must make arrangements in this regard in advance.

Therefore, he had to solve this technical problem early.

Zhang Xiaolong was immediately excited after hearing this. He even saw several experts in the team who were usually fond of technology with their eyes shining brightly.

Zhang Xiaolong waved his fist, "This is indeed a disruptive web experience. I think we can integrate the entire team to complete this part. If this technology is applied to our web mailbox, it will be like a store mailbox."

The industry benchmark.”

The excitement of Zhang Xiaolong and the entire Foxmail did not affect Ning Zimo's thoughts. At this time, he recalled in his mind that Fengyu mailbox had 1g free space when it was born, used refreshless technology, and was managed with custom labels.

In order to let the team he just took over keep up with his vision, he went into more depth and talked more.

…

Until 19 o'clock in the afternoon, when the dinner ordered by Li Ying and Chen Li was delivered to a group of people, Ning Zimo and the foxmail team had found a practical method for this new email product.

Foxmail technicians jumped from the no refresh mentioned by Ning Zimo to the cloud service he mentioned. The more they listened, the more excited they became.

They felt that although what the young boss said was unrealistic, it sounded like there were practical ways to implement it. Although it was still a long way to get there, they just thought about the future and could take it upon themselves to do it one by one.

When they step on it, they feel their blood boiling all over!

At this time, Zhang Xiaolong suddenly realized a problem.

"Is this product still called foxmail?"

"No," Ning Zimo shook his head, "This product cannot continue to be named foxmail. I named it gmail!"

"gmail, why?"

"Because we want to subvert the world's email industry and lead the world into a new era of g-capacity!"
