Reborn? The Kind You Can Choose!

The car drove smoothly on Airport Avenue in Guangdong City.

The interior of the Volkswagen seemed quite quiet. Except for Yuan Zhou, Zhang Xiaolong and the other three did not dare to express their anger.

Especially Zhang Xiaolong, he and Yuan Zhou were sitting in the back seat, Yu Chao was driving the car, and Chen Hanwei was sitting in the passenger seat. The atmosphere in the car was extremely weird.

They are both programmers. Although Yu Chao and Chen Hanwei usually quarrel fiercely, when it comes to a critical moment, they actually can't do anything.

"Why, you don't have anything to say to me?"

Yuan Zhou looked at the three people who were extremely nervous. Zhang Xiaolong was sitting upright like a student being trained.

"Hello Mr. Yuan... Mr. Yuan, I am Zhang... Zhang Xiaolong!"

"I...I am Yu Chao!"

"I am Chen Hanwei"

All three people reported their names, but Yuan Zhou was greatly amused.

"Don't be nervous, I'm a programmer too!"

The experience of Foxmail is particularly good, and it is one of the most comfortable software I have ever used...

Yuan Zhou didn't care about the nervous look of the "547" people. He smiled and said: "I know all your worries. It's nothing more than free software. Why should I acquire it? But it is precisely because of this that I think The place to be in Foxmail!”

"It has a group of very loyal users. If you charge a fee, the nature will change!"

Yuan Zhou looked at Zhang Xiaolong, who was gradually becoming calmer, and said calmly: "Your users believe in you. This, in my opinion, is the greatest wealth!"

Zhang Xiaolong raised his head in disbelief. Yuan Zhou's last words obviously spoke to his heart.

"What, you suspect that I am telling lies?"

"Don't worry, Foxmail's free policy will always be implemented, and it's best not to have advertising services. If I were a user, I actually hate all kinds of add-on projects. I hate seeing ads and spam!"

"Although I am your boss now, I still have another identity. I am actually also a user!"

"Mr. Yuan!"

Zhang Xiaolong really had tears in his eyes, as if he had found his soulmate.

To be honest, Foxmail was a piece of software he developed independently, and he had more say than anyone else. However, after being acquired several times, he actually had some doubts.

In the end, is it okay to keep Foxmail free and use appropriate advertising?

Yuan Zhou's words made the confusion in his heart become more determined.

"Mailbox is a long-term project, such as Microsoft's Hotmail. It is also completely free because it is a very important part of Microsoft's entire system, whether it is user registration or corporate email sending and receiving. Use it!"

Yuan Zhou saw that the three people were listening and couldn't help but said: "Whether it is Boda or you, in fact, you have always only regarded Foxmail as a separate individual. Boda even wants to develop a series of stories centered on Foxmail." Value-added and paid products!”

"But in fact, Foxmail mailbox, as an additional product in the system, is where the value is maximized!"

On the way here, Yuan Zhou had actually thought about the content of his conversation with Zhang Xiaolong.

To gain their trust, talking about products is undoubtedly the fastest way to open up the topic.

As a programmer, he understands the importance of a product in the minds of developers. Just like his own children, no one likes their products to be questioned, denied, or even sold as commodities. .

Although Zhang Xiaolong accepted Yuan Zhou's acquisition, from a heart point of view, he actually did not submit to Yuan Zhou.

But after this conversation, it may not necessarily be the case.

"Mr. Yuan, do you mean to make Foxmail an additional product of the school network?"

Zhang Xiaolong is obviously smart and can be said to be very clear.

Yu Chao and Chen Hanwei next to them also pricked up their ears after hearing this.

If it just becomes an additional product of Xiaonei.com, then their team's studio is actually not too important in the entire Yuanzhou Technology system.

In this case, it is actually not as broad as before.

Anyway, Boda regards Foxmail as the highlight of the company, but it is just too hasty and runs counter to Zhang Xiaolong's philosophy.

"NetEase, Sina, Microsoft, and even the newly emerging Google Gmail, their email services are all add-on products. I think you should know this!"

Yuan Zhou knew what the three people were thinking, and said directly: "Don't you think that if a team is all focused on an email software, it's overkill?"

"In my opinion, Foxmail is now a very mature product. It only needs an experienced technician to lead a team to maintain it. You can completely develop other products and businesses!"

"Foxmail will definitely expand. In my opinion, 10 million users is still too few!"

"At least 1 billion!"

Yuan Zhou's words made Zhang Xiaolong's eyes widen suddenly, and he was already a little confused.

Yu Chao and Chen Hanwei next to them also looked confused.

what's the situation?

Didn’t we just say it was just an add-on product, and now it wants one billion users?

Will a product with 1 billion users be an add-on product?

"You don't understand, do you?"

"Think about NetEase, Sina, and Penguin!"

"What is their email business like?"

Of course Yuan Zhou knew that the three people could not understand, because their vision was not on the same level as his now...

Zhang Xiaolong only thought that he would be responsible for Foxmail's business, but Yuan Zhou's positioning for them was actually to establish an Internet company in Guangdong City that was as powerful as the three major portals.

One is a department and the other is a company!

For the department, Foxmail is of course a flagship product; but at the company level, even if it has 1 billion users, it is just one of its products.

"I will become a product center of Yuanzhou Technology in Guangdong City. I will be directly in charge. Xiaolong, you will be the general manager, and Yu Chao and Chen Hanwei will be the directors of the product department and operation and maintenance department!"

"Foxmail is its first product, but it will not be its last!"

"I said this, do you understand?"

After Yuan Zhou finished speaking, the expressions of the three people suddenly changed.

Especially Zhang Xiaolong, his expression was one of astonishment. He almost understood Su Zhou's plan when Yuan Zhou said that he would serve as the general manager of the product center.

company!

He wanted to set up a company in Guangdong City, a company that he would be responsible for.

This is a rocket-like jump from what they originally expected.

No matter how well the department does, it is just a business; and if the company does well, it can be independent.

"Want to hear something more exciting?"

Yuan Zhou looked at the three people who were gradually getting excited.

"think!"

The three people said in unison.

"I plan to move your company across from NetEase. The first thing you have to do is let Foxmail defeat NetEase Mailbox!"

squeak——

The violent braking sound almost caused the four people in the car to overturn.

Yu Chao gasped, really stimulated by Yuan Zhou's words. Zhang Xiaolong and 0.8 Chen Hanwei were also stunned. They never thought that Yuan Zhou's ambition was so big.

Let Foxmail surpass NetEase Mailbox?!

"It seems that it is not suitable to discuss business in the car. I look like you will be frightened!"

"Hurry back to the company, or else I won't!"

Yuan Zhou laughed and scolded Yu Chao. Yu Chao chuckled and all his worries about the future were wiped away.

The three of them originally thought that the best situation they would face after being acquired was to receive attention and become a department of Yuanzhou Technology.

But now I never expected that Yuan Zhou would actually let them be the leaders of the new company.

This kind of trust was something they had never thought of before.

This is not about paying attention at all, but really treating them as one of our own!

boom!

Yu Chao started the car and drove towards the Goldman Sachs Building where Foxmail is now located.

Several people couldn't wait to stand opposite the NetEase building and have a head-on fight with him. .
