Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

In December, the weather turns completely cold, and many people on the streets have put on thick coats.

In the WeChat department, led by Liao Qinyu, the WeChat red envelope project team was set up a long time ago. Xu Xing, the founder of Qunxing, is checking the effect of this new feature in this office.

In the beta version of WeChat, Xu Xing clicked on the chat interface and sent a WeChat red envelope to Liao Qinyu.

Liao Qinyu clicked to receive next to him, and then also sent one to Xu Xing.

After that, Xu Xing went to a temporary WeChat group to distribute red envelopes, and then tested the shake red envelope specially prepared for the Spring Festival Gala.

"The function itself is actually not difficult." Liao Qinyu said, "But I can guess why Mr. Xu wants to keep it secret. After all, the simpler the function, the more it can only be used as a one-time strategic tool, because once others follow

If it goes in, this thing can only be reduced to a standing weapon."

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded and turned off his phone, "This is an opportunity to make a comeback. Keep confidentiality measures in place."

Liao Qinyu was a little excited and excited.

To be honest, at first, he thought the red envelope function was very interesting, and it could indeed boost the popularity of WeChat payment.

However, such a small function may not be completely popular among the people, and other software has quickly caught up with the same function.

After all, it is difficult to obtain patent protection for this kind of thing.

The things you put your effort into can basically be stolen by your opponents within a few days.

By then, the effect of the red envelope function will be quickly weakened, and it will not achieve too many miraculous effects. At most, it can be regarded as a little cleverness.

If this kind of cleverness were applied to an ordinary employee, it would be considered an outstanding achievement.

But for Xu Xing, if he simply pays so much attention to such a simple small function, it seems to be putting the cart before the horse.

But after reading the Spring Festival Gala advertising plan sent to him by Mr. Xu, Liao Qinyu completely changed his mind.

Xu Xing's idea is actually very simple——

Since the red envelope function will be copied by peers in a short period of time, we should maximize the rapid popularity of the red envelope function in as short a time as possible.

Let as many users as possible use this function for the first time and get used to it.

To achieve this goal, two basic conditions must be met.

1. Maximum publicity efforts.

2. The highest frequency of use.

The former is to include as many users as possible.

The latter is to allow users to develop the habit of using WeChat red envelopes in a short period of time.

This itself is difficult to achieve.

As for the red envelope function, most people are just trying it out, and there is basically no reason to send red envelopes to others on weekdays.

But if you want a function to go online and be known to users and use it, it will take a certain amount of time to digest it.

but.

During the Spring Festival and Spring Festival Gala, we won the exclusive resources of new media partners during the Spring Festival Gala, which seems to perfectly meet the above two basic conditions.

This made Liao Qinyu sigh with emotion.

With a boss like this, you shouldn't take it easy as an employee.

"The red envelope function can prepare some different modes in advance, especially the group red envelope function. Now in addition to the ordinary red envelope, a random red envelope is added, purely based on everyone's luck."

Xu Xing said, "Besides, other things like password red envelopes and idiom solitaire red envelopes can be made first."

"However, the initial functions do not require too many. A common red envelope and a random red envelope are enough. If it is too fancy, it will increase the user's learning cost."

"Okay." Liao Qinyu nodded to express his understanding. He has taken over WeChat for more than a year now, and his understanding of WeChat's current situation is no worse than Xu Xing's.

As the number of registered users of WeChat exceeded 100 million at the beginning of this year, Xu Xing exposed his identity during the summer vacation, resulting in overwhelming news about the stars in those months.

WeChat users also continue to attack QQ’s position at a growth rate that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

As early as August, WeChat had exceeded 200 million users.

After completing the moat of hundreds of millions of users, it is basically impossible for WeChat to be suppressed and suppressed again as long as it does not commit suicide.

Today, the situation of domestic social software is divided between QQ and WeChat. QQ still occupies the advantage in terms of user volume and stickiness, but it no longer has absolute suppressive power.

At the same time, QQ and WeChat also began to develop their own payment systems.

It's just that in comparison, WeChat payment has to develop slightly better.

Whether it is its own expansion in areas such as food delivery and taxi hailing, its deep cultivation in the field of mobile games, and its deepening in the field of e-commerce, it is constantly expanding the boundaries of WeChat payment.

Unfortunately, the current combined market share of the two payment fields is not enough for Alibaba Pay alone, and it may only account for a fraction.

Therefore, what Lao Ma said in the interview is indeed not an oversight, but the current situation.

No one on the Internet is optimistic about other payment systems.

After all, if possible, few people are actually willing to use two payment systems interchangeably. If a problem can be solved with only one payment system, they will not think about using another one.

"Then let's do this for now." Xu Xing briefly explained the follow-up arrangements, looked at the time, stood up and said, "I'll get off work first."

After leaving the company, Xu Xing drove home, took off his clothes and threw them into the washing machine, then went into the bathroom and took a shower.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the empty living room, Xu Xing sighed quietly, not wanting to go out to eat, so he took out his phone and ordered a takeaway.

While waiting for takeout, he was bored and wandered around the house.

The bedrooms of Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian still retain their original appearance. Except for some necessary clothes and personal belongings that were taken away, many other things were left behind.

It just became a thought.

It's just that people have left, and seeing things and thinking about them has no practical meaning. On the contrary, it makes people feel more empty.

There are no roommates left, and Xu Xing has been looking for a house recently. He plans to first find a suitable building near the Qunxing Building under construction and buy a house.

It's interesting to say that in the more than a year since Qunxing was established, Xu Xing himself has not spent much money.

The biggest expense is buying a car, and it only costs 20,000 to 300,000 yuan for a mobility scooter, one for himself and one for Xu Niannian.

Originally, Yan Chijuan should have owned one, but Yan Chijuan felt that it was enough to drive Xu Xing's car, so he directly refused Xu Xing's behavior of spending money randomly.

For ordinary people, this is not cheap, but compared with his worth, it seems a bit shabby.

As for other expenses, the biggest one was the yacht party for Yan Chijuan’s birthday in June, which probably cost a few hundred thousand.

In addition, even the clothes he wore were bought for him by Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan.

For him, the fun of spending money is far less fun than building a career.

As for the house, although he has been looking at real estate recently, if possible, he would rather take the two girls to look at it together.

Unfortunately, the probability of getting slapped is higher.

[Xu Niannian]: What are you doing?

Sitting back on the sofa, Xu Xing turned on the TV and flipped through the channels to make the living room more lively and sound.

I took out my phone and flipped through it, and saw the condolences sent by Xu Niannian.

【Xu Xing】: What else can you do if you are alone and have no one to accompany you?

[Xu Niannian]: Ah...then pay attention to your health.

【Xu Xing】:?

[Xu Niannian]: I’m not kidding you.

【Xu Xing】: So are you okay?

【Xu Niannian】: Nothing happened.

【Xu Xing】:That’s it.

[Xu Niannian]:Huh?

【Xu Xing】: Generally speaking, when you suddenly send someone "What are you doing", it can be translated as "I miss you".

[Xu Niannian]: Hey, don’t be so mean, I just randomly favored my WeChat friends while eating.

【Xu Xing】: The way he talks eloquently is quite cute.

[Xu Niannian]: I won’t talk nonsense to you, look at who this is (funny)

Xu Niannian sent a photo.

Xu Xing clicked on it and found that it was Yan Chijuan in the photo.

Looking at this angle, looking sideways and looking up, it should be that Xu Niannian was sitting next to Yan Chijuan and took the photo directly with his phone tilted over.

Even at this death angle, Yan Chijuan's tightened jawline is still very beautiful, drawing a graceful arc, and her profile looks very attractive.

Looking at the background of the photo, it looks like he was eating in the cafeteria.

Xu Xing did know that these two people had formed a tacit study group in the library recently.

But I didn't expect that our relationship had become so good that we went to the cafeteria to eat together.

Just then the doorbell rang and the takeaway was delivered.

Xu Xing walked to the dining table with the takeout and sat down. While unpacking and preparing to eat, he replied to Xu Niannian.

[Xu Xing]: Is your relationship so good? No quarrels?

[Xu Niannian]: If it weren’t for someone else, we would have been good sisters.

【Xu Xing】: It’s my fault.

[Xu Niannian]: Who cares whether you admit your mistake or not? Where are you? Have you eaten?

【Xu Xing】:At home.

As he said that, Xu Xing took a photo of the takeout and went over.

[Xu Niannian]: Is this what you have for dinner? Can the big boss be a bit successful? I heard from others that the big bosses all have private chefs or even private restaurants.

【Xu Xing】: It makes sense, but it’s not necessary.

[Xu Xing]: I plan to set up a charity department. This kind of personal luxury expenditure might as well be used for charity in poor areas.

[Xu Niannian]: Is your consciousness so high?

[Xu Xing]: If you knew about the tax reduction and exemption policies related to charity, you wouldn’t say this, but I am willing to spend more money on charity, and grandpa will probably be very happy.

Xu Xing's grandfather has always had the habit of donating money to support poor students, and he can be regarded as inheriting a bit of spirit in this regard.

Moreover, Qunxing's growth in size and strength is itself dependent on the dividends brought by the opportunity of rebirth.

Doing charity is a way of giving back and being grateful to the world for giving him a second life.

【Xu Niannian】: Very good.

[Xu Xing]: In addition, I don’t worry about leaving this department to others. If you two can help me in the future, I will feel less worried.

[Xu Niannian]: Did you have a premeditated plan?

[Xu Xing]: Just saying casually, if you like design and painting, Tianshu Games will always welcome you.

[Xu Niannian]: Maybe I will go to work at Tencent or Alibaba in the future.

[Xu Xing]: It’s not like people can’t find out our relationship. If you really go, others might treat you as an undercover agent.

[Xu Niannian]: What is the relationship between us?

【Xu Xing】: The relationship between siblings to the outside world.

[Xu Niannian]: I’m pretty good at talking.

【Xu Xing】: Do you still go to the library at night?

[Xu Niannian]: Go, I’m going to take the postgraduate entrance examination in more than half a month.

[Xu Xing]: Then I can come over in the evening and join in the fun?

[Xu Niannian]: What are you here for?

[Xu Xing]: The final exam is in one month, so I have to take a break.

[Xu Niannian]: You are quite prepared for a rainy day.

[Xu Xing]: Then I’ll come over after dinner?

[Xu Niannian]: If you’re not afraid, I don’t mind either.

【Xu Xing】:What about vinegar?

As soon as these words came out, Xu Niannian suddenly stopped replying.

After a while, a new reply popped up in the chat interface.

【Xu Niannian】: Bring your own water bottle.

Xu Xing: "?"

【Xu Xing】:Who are you?

[Xu Niannian]: What do you think?

…

After finishing dinner neatly, Xu Xing carried the takeout bag downstairs, threw away the trash, and drove to Min University.

However, after arriving at the parking lot, Xu Xing was not in a hurry to get out of the car. He fumbled in the passenger drawer for a moment and took out a mask.

After putting it on, I got out of the car and walked towards the library.

It's not that he is too pretentious, it's just that it's not the National Day, and there are many people in the library. With his current popularity, he can still be easily recognized by interested people.

Taking the textbooks and notebooks from several classes, Xu Xing walked all the way to the library.

At this time, Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian had already finished dinner and returned to the library.

As soon as Xu Xing went up to the third floor, he saw the familiar slim figures of the two people.

Xu Niannian is sitting next to the floor-to-ceiling window. She has a slender figure, long hair that almost reaches her waist, and straight and slender legs.

Yan Chijuan was sitting near the bookshelf. He looked much smaller, and his hair had reached past his shoulders. It had changed from short hair to long hair now.

Xu Xing walked over there, and there was already a girl sitting opposite Xu Niannian.

Opposite Yan Chijuan, there were several books placed, and it looked like someone had already occupied the seat.

But when he heard the footsteps behind him, Yan Chijuan, who had his back to Xu Xing, turned his head. The moment he saw Xu Xing, he stood up silently, leaned over and took back a few books.

Only then did Xu Xing realize that she had helped occupy the seat after she came back from dinner.

The girl next door glanced at Xu Xing with some confusion as he walked over and sat down.

Because Xu Xing was wearing a mask, she didn't recognize who this guy was, but she just thought this boy's eyes were so beautiful.

However, the girl looked at the girl opposite who was helping to occupy the seat and immediately gave up her thoughts.

Let's study.

Falling in love will only become a stumbling block on the road to study.

After Xu Xing sat down, he didn't say hello to the two girls opposite him. He just blinked silently and then spread his hands towards Yan Chiju.

Well, I didn’t bring a water bottle.
