Reborn? The Kind You Can Choose!

"This is the main update of the school network 2.0 this time!"

"Let me explain it to you one by one!"

Yuan Zhou projected a ppt he made overnight on his laptop onto the curtain behind him. Suddenly, countless regulations appeared in front of everyone in the conference room.

"First of all, the most important feature of this update is the API application programming interface!"

Yuan Zhou pressed the button on his laptop, and the screen projection suddenly began to switch, and three big words appeared—API!

"What does it mean?"

"Perhaps of all of you here, only Lao He and Lao Liang have heard of it?"

Yuan Zhou looked at He Xiaopeng and Liang Jie who were in a daze. Liang Jie quickly reacted: "Does the website also need to develop an API?"

"Yes, mobile phones can develop applications, why can't websites?"

Yuan Zhou's rhetorical question made Liang Jie stunned.

Yes, smartphones can develop various programs, why can’t websites?!

"The main function of our campus network this time is to establish an API application programming interface. Of course, it is closed now, but I will open the API port in the next few updates to allow programmers on all web pages to use it. , you can connect your own developed applications to our website!”

Later generations of Facebook actually did this.

The so-called API is actually an application entrance on a website, which is actually somewhat similar to the WeChat applet in later generations.

For example, if you develop a chat software, it can be built into the web page and then allow users to communicate with each other. However, if the web page is closed, this communication will be closed directly.

"what are the benefits?"

"Openness allows all programmers around the world who love web programming to connect their own programs to our website, which not only benefits them, but also allows Xiaonei.com to earn commissions!"

This is the thinking of Apple's AppStore.

In 2020, this kind of thinking is actually normal. Whether it is WeChat, Douyin, Taobao, etc., they are actually building a platform.

But now in 2004, when the Internet has just become popular, such remarks are obviously groundbreaking.

The average person in the conference room was obviously confused, except for Liang Jie and He Xiaopeng, who could not keep up with Yuan Zhou's rhythm.

"Mr. Yuan... Mr. Yuan, you... you mean to make the school network a platform?"

"A platform for web applications?"

Liang Jie asked, and Yuan Zhou nodded: "Yes, our school network is a platform for applications. Even a small program you develop can be hung on it.

As long as there is a user group consuming it, you can get the corresponding profit share!"

boom!

One sentence made Liang Jie's mind explode.

He Xiaopeng next to him also had a look of shock on his face.

This is definitely a game-changing update.

An epoch-making web page reform!

When all websites are pursuing some small functions, Yuan Zhou has actually thought of building a platform. Such vision and overall view are completely unmatched by Penguin.

One person's ideas are obviously limited, but all programmers around the world are making suggestions for this platform. Who can handle this?!

"Do you understand?"

Yuan Zhou looked at everyone in the conference room. Except for He Xiaopeng and Liang Jie, everyone seemed to understand but didn't understand.

"It's okay if you don't understand. Let's look at the second point!"

"This second point is just an example!"

"I used the API port of Xiaonei.com to develop a web game application for social networking - grab a parking space!"

After speaking, Yuan Zhou's ppt projection instantly turned into a video.

This is a simple how-to guide specially created by Yuan Zhou for the parking space game.

"The game is very simple, that is, each of our school network users has a parking lot, but they cannot put their own cars, only friends' cars, which can be used to make money; and your car must also be put in your friends' cars. In the parking space!”

"Otherwise, you have to pay the gas fee per minute...

While showing the video, Yuan Zhou explained the parking space game to everyone present.

Just like listening to the API just now, it was like a bible. This time, everyone obviously understood the parking space game, and after listening to it, everyone was a little excited.

Xu Bo's eyes brightened a little.

Although he is a customer service officer, one of the things he likes to do most is analyze games.

He has liked playing video games since he was a child, and he can analyze some of the logic in video games. Looking at the instructions for the parking space game in front of him, Xu Bo's brain felt like it was knocked open by Yuan Zhou, and countless ideas suddenly emerged. .

Social...is this a social game?!

"...-So powerful!"

He couldn't help but sigh. In his opinion, the parking space competition in front of him was no longer as simple as a game. It was simply a communication between users.

It’s just that this kind of communication is not chatting, but interacting!

"This game is going to be a hit!"

Xu Bo's intuition has always been very keen, and not only is it popular, it also drives countless netizens to participate in this game.

The more friends you have, the higher your income is and the more luxury cars you can buy.

In this way, there will be more and more registered users on the Xiaonei network, until... it completely explodes!

Xu Bo's cheek couldn't help but twitch. He thought of Ding Sanshi's explanation, but he was powerless.

Yes, even if he knew all the logic of grabbing a parking space, telling him directly now would be of no use.

Only after playing this game in person can you understand the logic of it. Just talking about it will make you look confused. This is why Yuan Zhou dared to announce the 2.0 update of Xiaonei.com in front of them (well). reason.

Because they can only copy it after they grab the parking space and put it on the market.

But the one who eats the crab first will always make the most money. Even if Penguin discovers the business opportunity of grabbing parking spaces, it will take at least three days to completely copy it.

In these three days, Yuanzhou can definitely harvest a wave of user groups.

When Penguin comes online to grab parking spaces, Yuan Zhou’s second game will appear again.

He just wanted to use games to completely kill Penguin, and then quickly develop users. When Penguin found it difficult to catch up with Xiaonei.com, Yuan Zhou launched his own instant messaging software as a matter of course.

At that time, Penguin's QQ foundation will collapse in an instant.

Everyone understands this game, right?"

"Then let me continue talking about the third update - personal image, which is Penguin's QQ show!"
