Cheng Ran told Li Mingshi about the concept and advantages of instant messaging software, said that similar to the online paging station of telecommunications, everyone can use software to communicate with each other in the future, when personal computers are popularized, Moore's law in the IT industry will inevitably make personal portable computers become the mainstream in the future, at that time, you can use smart mobile phones, instant messaging software, you can communicate with anyone you want to communicate with anyone you want to communicate with anyone at any time and anywhere, send files, pictures, music, and even video chats, and you can broadcast live so that others can bring your eyes.

The birth of all new technologies is no different from magic for the development of the world.

It is conceivable that in this period of 1998, the computer is still a bulky chassis and a large-head monitor, the mechanical hard disk needs to be read for dozens of seconds before it can be turned on to enter the indos window screensaver screen, and the dial-up Internet access must be entered by the account password "beep beep" connection and wait for it to be connected, according to the byte traffic billing, Cheng Ran showed these contents in front of Li Mingshi, how is it not a rhapsody like a science fiction film.

Li Mingshi is not closed, as a geek in contact with technology, he can also be called well-informed in this regard, he said that now there is an instant messaging software, called ICQ, which means "I look for you", is the Israeli trio Weisge, The toys developed by Wadi and Goldfinger when they were young people are bored have become widely popular in the United States, and AOL spent 280 million yuan to acquire ICQ this year, and its users have exceeded the 100 million mark in May this year.

Cheng Ran nodded and said that this is the thing, Cheng Ran took out two installation software CDs from the drawer, and two software on the cover have been circled and marked by him with a pen, he said that this is this kind of software that is currently inspired to be developed in China, one is called PICQ, one is called OMMO, one is from Guangzhou, and the other is from a Taiwan company, and the inspiration comes from ICQ, and he has installed and used it.

Cheng Ran explained to Li Mingshi the advantages and disadvantages of these two products on the market from a series of aspects such as human-computer interaction, use logic, and beautiful interface, the places that failed to be taken into account, and the inevitable failures after they collided with their own software.

Cheng Ran told him that simplicity and ease of use is the most basic logic, and there is no need to win by surprise in this regard, and the Matthew effect of "simple" can get IM with two words, which will make more and more people use this software, and people will become more and more dependent, and eventually quantitative changes will affect qualitative changes, forming a huge scale social network that connects the whole of China.

Cheng Ran said a lot of things that day, he said that the software name should be called CQ, Q takes the Q of ICQ, and C means the abbreviation of his surname Cheng, purely too lazy to choose a name, and uses local materials. The reason why I don't use CICQ, a more obvious name, according to him, is because ICQ has been acquired by AOL this year, AOL is a large company, in the US market expansion, must have greater ambitions, China's future Internet is on the rise, they will definitely come in to participate in a share, if their name is used, the future of domestic software users to grow to a certain scale, will definitely face the other party's lawsuit, it is better to avoid it at the beginning.

Cheng Ran also said that the software was set to look like a penguin, and he wanted to restore the various contents described in the project overview as much as possible.

Cheng Ran also chatted with Li Mingshi a lot, until one or two o'clock in the morning, and finally Cheng Ran said that there was no need to rush, he could go back first, and thoroughly analyze the content of this project overview, and he couldn't become a fat man in one bite, Li Mingshi was a trader in the future, and he needed him to form his own ideas in combination with what he talked about today.

The window of a grand blueprint slowly opened in front of Li Mingshi's eyes.

Li Mingshi was very excited, purely shocked by the future outlined by Cheng Ran, and this confidence came from the premise that he saw Cheng Ran come all the way to bring real performance.

Not to mention more, if you give advice to Cheng Feiyang's Fu Long, and the elders who have grown up together will find a fact, Fu Long now seems that the ideas that hit every turning point of growth and expansion are all from Cheng Ran.

Secondly, this year's disaster prevention and damage reduction system, although there are floods in the Yangtze River almost every year, once the system is developed, it will be the flood of the century, which is like tailor-made. So where does Li Mingshi still have doubts about Cheng Ran at this time, and even the blueprint mentioned by Cheng Ran, even he himself once imagined, almost coincides, and Cheng Ran obviously described it more vividly and concretely, which opened his eyes.

When Xu Lan was about to make a supper for the two of them, Li Mingshi woke up late at night, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye to Cheng Ran, Cheng Ran asked him not to be busy, Xu Lan cooked spicy noodles with green onions for the two, and the two of them were eating hotly.

Li Mingshi finally thanked him, wiped his mouth, put the bowl aside, and then he was satisfied and really left, when he left, he took the project approval book, as if holding a treasure, and said to Cheng Ran before going out, "What's wrong with you today......?" Tell Brother Li, Brother Li can not only listen to your ideas and minds, but also help you make suggestions on chasing girls, I think when I was in our graduate school, I wrote a love letter or a nickname, I don't know how many girls hold my letter and read it day and night, and some have become sisters-in-law and younger siblings, and then look at me with that resentment...... Say, is it you dumped or do you want to dump others, if it's the latter, then you can't help, if it's the former, Brother Li promises to sacrifice a few liver and intestine pieces for you, so that the other party will regret not being the first ......"

Xu Lan at the other end of the kitchen slammed the kitchen knife into the cutting board.

Li Mingshi crossed his shoes and fled.

A moment after Li Mingshi closed the door and left, Xu Lan packed up her things and came out of the kitchen, and never asked why Cheng Ran said that she wanted to stay in the mountains, but she returned home in the afternoon, she wanted to talk and stopped, and finally said, "Go to bed early." Don't sleep until eleven or twelve o'clock the next day, and I haven't seen how you get up and run lately, what's the matter, your will is slack? If I look at you with panda eyes tomorrow, your father will have to talk about you again!"

"Okay, good ......" Cheng Ran was afraid of his mother's nagging, so he grinned helplessly and hurriedly ran to fetch hot water to wash.

When Cheng Ran finished washing up and returned to the room, Xu Lan supervised his light to go out, and then returned to the bedroom.

Cheng Feiyang didn't sleep.

Xu Lan asked, "Jiang girl, is the daughter of Li City...... right?"

Cheng Feiyang nodded.

Xu Lan turned off the light, went to bed, hugged her husband, leaned on his shoulder, and both of them couldn't sleep for a long time.

In the final darkness, Xu Lan said quietly, "It's us...... Not enough to be capable. ”
