Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 227 The lethality of QR code business cards

Zhu Rongzhen is forty-five years old this year.

She was born in a rural area. After graduating from junior high school, she did not continue her education and returned home to help her father in farming. She married Liao Qinyu's father before she was twenty years old.

After getting married, I gave birth to a child soon after.

At that time, due to the general environment, only one child could be born, so Liao Qinyu became the baby's favorite. Both parents doted on him and bought him whatever he wanted.

So Liao Qinyu has been interested in electronic products since he was a child and tinkered with those things all day long.

Zhu Rongzhen's educational level was not high and she could not understand these things. Even the original ordinary flip phone was taught by her son how to use it to make calls.

As a result, to this day, she still can't type on the keyboard of her mobile phone, and she always makes phone calls when contacting others, never sending text messages.

Later, Liao Qinyu wanted to take the computer science test, but Zhu Rongzhen objected. She hoped that her son could be more stable and become a civil servant, where he would have the most stable job.

Fortunately, Liao Qinyu later made a career and successfully entered a major Internet company. His monthly income was several times that of other people's children.

At this moment, Zhu Rongzhen felt a little more at ease.

Being able to come from Hangzhou to attend the WeChat press conference hosted by her son also proved her support for her son in disguise.

However, after being arranged by Liao Qinyu to sit in the front row of the press conference, Zhu Rongzhen never expected that the press conference was going well and the lights suddenly shone on her.

At the same time, on the big screen at the front, the PPT originally displayed changed to what was captured by the on-site camera, and Zhu Rongzhen's figure suddenly appeared in the center of the screen.

The confused expression on her face was instantly conveyed to the eyes of every audience present.

"Mom, don't panic, we are just giving a simple demonstration." Liao Qinyu said as he walked to the edge of the podium, walked down the stairs, walked all the way to Zhu Rongzhen, took her hand and comforted her, "Follow me.

That’s fine.”

"I don't understand anything." Zhu Rongzhen was a little anxious, holding her son's hand tightly, and her voice reached everyone's ears through the microphone, proving that this was not a drama planned from the beginning, "Don't do this nonsense.

."

"It's okay. I'm just teaching you how to use our products on the spot. You don't need to say much. I'll ask you something later and you just need to answer truthfully with your truest feelings."

Liao Qinyu brought his mother to the podium with his own hands, returned to the center of the stage, and looked at the people present with a smile.

Compared with her son's natural state, Zhu Rongzhen looked very cramped. She clasped her hands in front of her stomach, was so nervous that she didn't know what actions to take, her eyes wandered on the floor unsteadily, and her nerves were extremely tense.

"Come on, Mom, say hello to everyone." Liao Qinyu personally put a portable microphone on Zhu Rongzhen.

Zhu Rongzhen felt her son beside her and calmed down a little, but she still didn't dare to look at the audience below. She just stared at the floor and said, "Hello, everyone."

"Well, okay." Liao Qinyu held her mother's hand and looked directly at the audience. She continued to press the remote control with her other hand, and the picture on the screen returned to the PPT. "Before giving the presentation,

Let me first briefly introduce what WeChat 2.0 will bring to you."

As he said this, the PPT on the big screen began to change, and four frames appeared.

【1. Become a social business card】

【2.Eradicate communication barriers】

【3.Share personal life】

【4. Linked daily entertainment】

"These four aspects will become the new goals of WeChat 2.0." Liao Qinyu said simply, "As for the specific effects, let me take everyone together and let me personally teach my mother how to use our WeChat

News version 2.0.”

With that said, the staff in the audience had already walked onto the stage and handed a mobile phone into Liao Qinyu's hand.

At the same time, the large screen at the front was also divided into four pieces.

Among them, the piece in the upper left corner is still the original PPT.

The screen in the upper right corner changed to a long-range perspective, showing the movements of the two people on the stage.

The lower left corner is a close-up view provided by the cameraman carrying a camera after they have already stepped onto the stage, showing the detailed movements of Liao Qinyu and Zhu Rongzhen holding mobile phones.

The last screen in the lower right corner directly shows the situation of the mobile phone screen, and the content of the mobile phone screen is projected onto it.

In this way, even if the audience is sitting below, they can clearly see all the details on the stage.

"Come on, Mom." Liao Qinyu handed the phone to Zhu Rongzhen's hand, and then said to the audience, "I will hand this phone to my mother now. Next, I will not operate it myself. The whole process will be done by myself."

My mother will do it."

With that said, he continued to say to Zhu Rongzhen: "Mom, relax, do you know how to turn on the phone?"

"I definitely know this." Zhu Rongzhen fumbled on the side of the phone for a while, and finally found the switch of the phone. After pressing it for a while, the screen of the phone finally lit up.

At the same time, the animation of turning on the mobile phone appeared in real time in the lower left corner of the big screen, playing the situation on the mobile phone screen simultaneously.

"Then do you know how to download WeChat?" Liao Qinyu asked again after looking at the phone to turn on.

When Zhu Rongzhen heard what he said, she was a little confused. She shook her head and said, "What download?"

There was a slight uproar in the audience, and many people laughed out loud. Unexpectedly, Liao Qinyu, the mother of the person in charge of WeChat, didn’t even know how to download the software.

"Look, there is an application store that comes with your mobile phone. You can just think of it as a store on your mobile phone. The products in it are software that can be downloaded." Liao Qinyu said calmly and calmly, "You can click in and take a look.

"

"Oh." Zhu Rongzhen followed his prompts and clicked into the mobile app store, then looked at her son, "What next?"

"Then if you look at the place above and click on it, we can enter text and search for the WeChat software." Liao Qinyu instructed Zhu Rongzhen to open the search box.

Then, everyone could see the lower left corner of the big screen. Zhu Rongzhen was holding the phone in both hands. After clicking on the search box above, the Jiugongge input method appeared on the phone screen.

Zhu Rongzhen searched around with her clumsy hands, and it took her dozens of seconds to finally spell out the word "微信".

I pressed the wrong button several times and had to go back and press it again.

The audience in the audience looked at this scene, and originally wanted to laugh a little, but some people smiled and smiled, and then inexplicably restrained their expressions. Looking at Zhu Rongzhen's figure, they seemed to see the shadow of other people.

Zhu Rongzhen had obviously been delayed for so long. Just downloading the WeChat search software took so long, but the people in the audience looked at it inexplicably, without any intention of urging.

Secretary Zhao also had a thoughtful expression on his face. He put his right hand to his mouth, pursed his lips and thought carefully.

"It's very interesting." Secretary Zhao said softly, "This press conference provided me with another new perspective."

"This is an honor for our WeChat team." Xu Xing said with a chuckle.

"So when you were making WeChat, did you have any ideas in this direction?"

"That's right." Xu Xing nodded, "Even with the level of education popularization in China, it doesn't mean that a relatively simple smart product like a mobile phone can be quickly accepted and used flexibly by everyone."

"At this time, the simpler the software and the easier it is to use, the more likely it is to occupy the market of more people."

"In fact, Tencent's QQ claims to have hundreds of millions of users, but in fact everyone knows how many people have registered accounts repeatedly."

"Besides this core group of Internet users, there is also a large group of backward people who have not yet been included in the Internet world."

"This is the real gold mine in the mobile Internet era."

While the audience was communicating, WeChat on stage had successfully downloaded the prepared WeChat version 2.0.

As the download progress bar was loaded, Zhu Rongzhen clicked to enter WeChat under Liao Qinyu's instructions.

This phone comes with a mobile phone number that has not been registered with WeChat. After entering WeChat, a login page appears on the phone page.

If the mobile phone number that comes with the phone is detected, one-click registration will be provided, and the entire registration and login process can be completed with a single click.

"Very good, now we have registered a WeChat account, but we don't have any friends yet, right?" Liao Qinyu said, looking at the audience again, and pointed to the PPT in the upper left corner of the big screen behind him, "

How can I add friends?"

The PPT began to change, and a picture appeared on the screen in the upper left corner, showing the method of adding friends in the WeChat 1.0 era.

"The first method is to directly search for your friend's mobile phone number in the search box to add a friend."

"The other is to add acquaintances in the address book directly with one click."

"And if WeChat wants to become a business card in the social field, then the above two methods of adding friends are far from enough."

"Many people may think that this is simple enough, right? You only need to enter your mobile phone number to add friends."

"But we feel that this approach is still too slow."

"so……"

With that said, Liao Qinyu took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

While opening his WeChat account, Liao Qinyu continued to direct Zhu Rongzhen: "Mom, click on the [My] page and see an icon and an arrow here? Click in and then find [QR code business card], yes

, right here.”

In the lower right corner of the big screen, the audience watched with their own eyes as Zhu Rongzhen clicked on something called a [QR code business card].

Then the perspective of the camera in the lower left corner changed and came to the screen of the mobile phone in Liao Qinyu's hand.

Liao Qinyu operated his mobile phone and clicked on the function called [Scan] that came with WeChat. The screen of his mobile phone turned to the camera function page.

“WeChat 2.0’s method of adding friends, in addition to the above mentioned, will also add a more convenient mode, which is our [QR code business card].”

“We only need to do like my mother, showing the QR code business card on her personal WeChat account, and I use the [Scan] function that comes with WeChat to point the camera at her business card and immediately

My mother’s WeChat page will pop up, and you can add friends by clicking on it.”

"Just like this."

As he spoke, Liao Qinyu moved his mobile phone and pointed the camera at the QR code business card in Zhu Rongzhen's hand.

The next second, the audience was shocked to see that the WeChat account information belonging to Zhu Rongzhen immediately appeared on Liao Qinyu's mobile phone page. Just click the [Add Friend] button to complete the addition of friends.

"Everyone, what is this like?" Liao Qinyu smiled slightly towards the audience, "Yes, it's like we met a stranger in a public place and wanted to leave each other's contact information, so we handed

Show me your business card.”

"But business cards are usually prepared by only a few people who need them for work."

“But now, as long as you download WeChat, everyone can have their own [QR code business card]. If you want to leave contact information with others, you no longer need to give out your mobile phone number.

Just click a few buttons to show your business card, scan the QR code, and two people can become WeChat friends immediately."

"Walking on the street, you see a boy or girl that you are very interested in. If you want that person's contact information, it would be a waste of time to give her mobile phone number."

"But what if you add a WeChat message?"

"It's just a matter of flashing the QR code business card of WeChat. It only takes a few seconds to complete the expansion of the relationship network."

"This is the convenience that mobile phones and mobile Internet can bring."

When Liao Qinyu was halfway through the above paragraph, the audience gradually burst into applause.

When he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. Everyone was shocked by WeChat's idea of ​​combining QR codes and business cards.

But amidst the warm applause, Wang Dongcheng of Tengxin frowned and just clapped his hands gently in a symbolic way, but his mind was not on this.

"Hurry up and send a message to your headquarters. This QR code business card function can be copied." Liu Huan on the other side did not mind the matter and joked to Wang Dongcheng, "Oh no, we have just reached the first point of the conversation.

, there are three more to come, I suggest you listen to it first, then report it all at once, and you can copy it neatly."

Wang Dongcheng's face was ugly, and he had already had a premonition of the power that [QR code business card] could bring.

Facing Liu Huan's sarcasm, he could only snort and turn his head away.

Liu Wenwu in the middle asked curiously: "This thing looks very powerful, but does it have a big impact?"

"Of course!" Liu Huan said decisively, "This thing may look very simple, but this leap of thinking and the use of QR codes are really powerful."

"As Mr. Liao said, the emergence of QR code business cards will make it more convenient for people to exchange contact information in public social situations."

“If WeChat can become popular, people may switch from exchanging mobile phone numbers to directly adding WeChat friends.”

"Once such a dense network of relationships becomes intertwined, it will be terrifying."

Liu Huan was thinking while talking. The more he talked, the more excited he became. He wished he could immediately spend money to get WeChat.

If Alibaba can obtain WeChat, plus Taobao and Alipay, it will simply declare the game over!

Thinking of this, Liu Huan looked at the PPT in the upper left corner of the big screen, his eyes becoming more and more eager.

He was very curious. The first new function of [QR code business card] has been so explosive. How powerful are the next three?
