In fact, the process of creating instant messaging with Li Mingshi was only ten days from the beginning of his proposal to the completion of the first version of the architecture.

Cheng Ran looked at the icon on the computer monitor, and the properties showed that this was a software of less than 1MB, which could be downloaded through any 3.5-inch floppy disk or Internet forum, it was simple, easy to spread, and easy to fly to every computer in thousands of households.

On an 800*600 resolution screen, the pixels on the icons are even visible. Cheng Ran had a feeling of being in a different world.

They tentatively set a release date of November 23.

Cheng Ran asked Li Mingshi to give the software a formal name, Li Mingshi said that it can be called "Chinese network paging software", this is Li Mingshi's thinking of doing communication, the so-called instant messaging, in this era, it is like a network pager, even after the user binds the pager, you can also send information to the telecom pager through the network. The official English name of the software, the "C" of "CQ" can be interpreted as "China", which also means "Chinese network".

It's just that as the founders, only two people understand that this so-called "C" is the beginning of Cheng Ran's surname.

It's a geek feeling, the sense of mission that created it with your own hands, holding its key lifeblood.

"Start with the internal number, five digits, the internal employee number starts with 10001, your number is 10001...... Mine is 10101 Okay, I don't care if it's the first place, I'm mainly good at remembering, creating 101. ”

Creation has such a magic power, and what may seem to be a monument to later generations is just a random decision of the present day.

Cheng Ran even had a very nasty idea, should he simply seal the first thousand numbers, and sell them one by one in the future...... Looking at the six-figure prices on those selling websites in later generations, this is simply a symbol of status and status.

Of course, this kind of thought is just thinking about it, Cheng Ran thinks that as a founder, it is still necessary to take fairness and justice as the principle, 10101 is already very awesome, okay.

Cheng Ran asked about the release of the software again, because this is not a software that relies on sales revenue to make money, so there is no need to invest in any publicity and sales activities, CQ is just a functional software, which only needs to be popularized at the fastest speed and downloaded to every computer.

So Li Mingshi plans to release it for free on various developer forums, Li Mingshi himself also knows some related forums of Banzhu, as well as various university BBS, to promote these, there is no big problem, basically less than 100,000 yuan, you can get through the main forum joints, plus the communication with some suppressed operating systems, on the installation, bound to CQ software. After all, it's just a small piece of software, and it's impossible for the lion to open his mouth, sometimes with Li Mingshi's identity as a big guy on the Internet during this period, it can also be done to give some face and get some benefits.

As for offline, every once in a while, there will be many underground pirated software factories on developer forums to collect the latest and best software and sell it as floppy discs, so there is no need to peddle it at all, and the software piracy industry that is rampant during this period can complete the promotion.

To set such a strategy, everything is ready, just wait for the east wind.

And this small beginning has not been able to become all of Li Mingshi, after the enthusiasm, he participated in Fulong's project cooperation, as for such a small software led by Cheng Ran, Cheng Feiyang didn't care much at all, in his opinion, since Li Mingshi wants to play with Cheng Ran, it is just to develop a gadget, Fulong can support 20% of the shares through the project, but the money will not be too much, and the relevant review will only estimate the value of this thing, 200,000 is probably the sky.

Cheng Ran doesn't care about this early support fund, and Fu Long will naturally make relevant judgments based on its own value in the later stage.

In fact, although ICQ is popular in the United States, there is not much attention in China at this time, and most of it is similar to Cheng Feiyang's judgment, empiricism, thinking that this is just a gadget.

Big software companies are not interested in it, because there is no way to make a profit, and those who do this in China are crossing the river by feeling the stones for their products.

So this incision in November is just right.

On the one hand, Cheng Feiyang didn't have much energy to manage Cheng Ran and accepted the existence of the Tianxing Gym, and the reason why Li Mingshi devoted himself to intense work after finalizing the preliminary launch plan of CQ with him, was that Fulong's sales growth rate had decreased repeatedly in the past two months.

This month has decreased by about 20% compared with last month, although on the whole, Fulong's sales are increasing as a whole, basically maintaining a stable growth rate with the input of sales and production every month, these two months are unusual, it is very eye-catching, and it is the only month in the year when the growth rate slows down.

According to the conversion of sales, Fulong should have lost nearly 40 million shares.

Needless to say, who grabbed this part of the order.

Since Bei Tuo regarded Fu Long as an imminent thorn in the flesh under his nose, a series of white-hot hand-to-hand battles have been set off between the two sides. Beituo did not hesitate to make no profits, but also launched a war against Fulong's expansion.

Although this style of play, some are almost scoundrels, and both lose, but with this year's post and telecommunications reform, along with the acceleration of infrastructure, equipment upgrading, and so on these demand gaps, the future market will only get bigger and bigger, orders will only be more and more, the current temporary loss, to beat the competitors, in the long run, in fact, both sides are fighting for the strategic high ground. Whoever can stand up, the other side can only be pressed and beaten in the future.

This is a battlefield without gunsmoke, in the laboratory research and development center, both sides are competing for product capabilities, taking the opponent's products one by one analysis, what specifications the other party's products reach, they have to develop better advantages.

On the front line, the front-line personnel of both sides are shooting and stealthily in front of the positions of customers, and they are showing their own tricks. There are even times when unscrupulous means.

Although the situation is very serious, Cheng Ran looked at the state of Cheng Feiyang, Li Mingshi and others from the side, it was not worry, but a kind of wholehearted battle.

Seeing the brightly lit floor of Fulong, Cheng Ran got into the quilt after washing every day, but he wasn't worried at all.

......

Xie Feibai called Cheng Ran, speaking of which, since Cheng Ran moved to Rongcheng, the two have not met except for telephone exchanges, and they don't know what the other party is doing, and Xie Feibai was once mysterious, this time in the phone, what he said to Cheng Ran was that he had made a mistake, and after a while, if he got it right, he would invite him to play.

In this tone, there is a kind of unfathomable profundity, and at the same time it is a faint show-off, Cheng Ran also responded casually, he wanted to see what Xie Feibai would do.

The popularity of the Three Kingdoms Killing has also spread to the top ten middle schools, sometimes between classes, Cheng Ran can see some students gathering under the banyan tree to play cards, and because Jiang Hongshao's name has the same name as the characters in the board game, it also once formed a stalk in the tenth middle school.

Someone deliberately said loudly from behind when Jiang Hongshao was passing by, "If you want to choose, choose Jiang Hongshao......!"

When Jiang Hongshao turned her head to look over, the wave of people immediately pretended again, "In the Three Kingdoms Killing, her skills are very powerful, she is an intellectual character, and she is very well drawn...... It's a bit of a god......"

Cheng Ran originally gave Jiang Hongshao a cartoon in the board game, and some features were well grasped, such as the arc of her eyes, which was enlarged a little more through the cartoon, which looked good and had the charm of the original. Therefore, some students of the tenth middle school bought the Three Kingdoms Killing, but they took out the card alone and kept it privately.

So much so that Wei Shu, Lao Jiang's tablemate that day, finally couldn't help it, took this card, and said to the people around him, "Really, did you say that the person who made this thing happened to have seen it in our school, or saw the name and photo of the red peony in the newspaper, and then compared it?"

Then a group of girls expressed their opinions and said that there was this possibility.

At this time, Cheng Ran happened to staggered past them, Lao Jiang turned his head to look at him, and Cheng Ran didn't squint.

In fact, my heart is not calm.

There is one more more.
