Chapter 109: OICQ is coming
"The first step of good management is to be familiar with the processes, the second step is to get things done, and the third step is to share the pressure reasonably...... You can no longer do everything yourself, when there are more than a dozen people, dozens of people, the general manager can do it himself, and how can you still do it yourself when they are about to break 100? You must let go and let the following do it, and then you can master the rhythm and control, and do a good job of evaluation. Chang Tianhao said, "You have to learn to change from managing things to managing people." After Xiaoqin came, on the one hand, she cooperated with me to operate the investment, and on the other hand, you delegated affairs to her, so that both of you can grow. ”
"Good. ”
"It is definitely necessary to bring in talent from outside, but for the time being, I don't want the Airborne Forces, at least not until the company has the strength. Chang Tianhao said, "If I want to introduce airborne troops, I will communicate with you in advance." ”
The Fubao Ma family once introduced many internationally renowned management, but in the end, these airborne soldiers were basically killed, and the 18 Arhats and Cai Chongxin, who were assimilated by the Arhats, remained. Chang Tianhao saw it very clearly, this is not to say that the airborne troops are bad, nor that the company is not good, but that the two cultures cannot be integrated together, and the attitude of start-up companies, especially new economy companies, is more important than ability, and choice is also more important than ability.
As a Karisma-type leader, Fukugama is completely different from Ponima's technology-driven leader, and this style is destined to make it impossible for the Airborne Forces to survive.
Chang Tianhao suddenly found out during the inventory that he was not from science and engineering, so he was destined to become a technology-driven leader in this life, and at most he could only develop into a Karisma type, but he was much younger than Fubaoma, and the personnel relationship was weak, which made him face a more difficult choice when selecting personnel.
For 99.9% of start-ups, what is lacking in the initial stage is capital rather than manpower: Fortune Horse has 18 Arhats, Bonima has five King Kongs, but he Chang Tianhao is the opposite, and has nothing but money!
Only the assistant regiment that came with great painstaking efforts!
According to the normal route, if he is an ordinary college student, there will be a group of like-minded friends after undergraduate, graduate and doctoral studies all the way, and everyone will start a business together. But his investment ability and family background are here, even if there are classmates who start a business together, the status cannot be equal - can the classmates who can only take 35,000 yuan and the classmates who smash 5 million in one go have equal status in the company?
Either he gives up his capital ability, or he waits for others to grow up before cooperating, otherwise he can't find an equal partner in his classmates.
And this is clearly not in line with the spirit of the time.
He could not have equal collaborators in the first place, only subordinates.
However, in addition to capital, he does not have an advantage in age, seniority, and experience, which makes it difficult to select subordinates - it is easy to select employees, but it is difficult to choose suitable and capable henchmen, and it is even more difficult to choose managers who can take charge of themselves. A character like Gao Yang, if everything is normal and there is no misappropriation, can he be a henchman for the current Chang Tianhao?
He felt completely choked.
This is a very tricky problem, and when the company reaches a certain stage of development, talent is a more difficult problem than projects and capital. So he has been thinking about how to solve it recently, thinking about it, except for digging in the assistant regiment, he can't think of a good way for the time being.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to Wang Huiling's ideological dynamics, and immediately appeases when he finds that the signs are not right - it is not a question of money or not. After some ideological work, the other party's mood was obviously stabilized and relaxed.
"Pay attention to the decoration of the 11th floor, don't set up an office, turn it into a leisure area, set up a fitness place and a leisure bar, and let employees exercise at night, and we will also exercise...... I feel like I'm going to gain weight. Chang Tianhao smiled, "Let's not make ourselves too nervous, it will affect the perception in front of employees, we must make ourselves appear calm, sure, and confident that everything is under control, so that they also have confidence and can show it better." We now need to select and employ people even more. ”
Wang Huiling understood: this is to relax herself without a trace and let go and delegate power moderately.
After solving this concern, Wang Huiling returned to a radiant image, looking confident and calm.
On February 10, she and Chang Tianhao readjusted and increased the futures list according to the strategy set down at night, and operated the stock account, eating more than 1 million yuan worth of stocks that day.
In the evening, Chang Tianhao played a few backgammons in the hall, practiced his skills, and then occasionally asked how the promotion of the Huizhi world in the past two days was - after all, the number of people unanimously said that it was okay, and the number of people continued to rise steadily, of course, there were more people who swiped silver coins, and there were several IP addresses concentrated over, showing that competitors couldn't sit still, whether it was a unified organization or tossing on their own, they always wanted to get some results.
"Are there any obvious signs of violation?"
"No, they're more cunning than the other scattered miners, the game takes longer, and the moves and positions are more realistic, and you can't even notice the ...... if you don't look closely."
Chang Tianhao smiled: "Then why do you think it's abnormal?"
"After comparing multiple games, I realized that each time I lost a chess game, I used the same number of moves - I couldn't see it by looking at 1-2 games alone, and then the score transfer was concentrated in a specific group of people. More importantly, whether it is the IP or information of the registered account, it points to convergence. ”
"It's kind of interesting, just leave it alone and let them gain some popularity for the game room. ”
Zhang Gongquan, who was in charge of the project, smiled: Tongtian Technology still has tricks that have not been used. At that time, the silver coin cash should be real-name, an ID number, a delivery address can only be cashed in one, although there is no ID number database at this time, but it is useless to fill in the ID number indiscriminately, because you fill in indiscriminately, the package sent to the post office will not be able to receive because the identity information is not true.
In the era when there was no express delivery, the post office parcel was the only channel, and the ID card was indispensable.
Take another 10,000 steps back, even if you get all of them, what if you really get them all? Chang Tianhao is ready to send 5,000 gifts, even if it is 50 yuan per person, that is, 250,000-250,000 is very remarkable......
Being rich is so capricious!
During the discussion, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly mentioned a detail outside of work, and said to Chang Tianhao: "A company released OICQ today, I feel pretty good when I use it, it's better than other Chinese versions of ICQ, I remember the last time you said that you wanted to develop social networking, chatting, is this thing also a project to be made?"
"OICQ?" Chang Tianhao paused, and then laughed, the women's clothing boss Boniema is finally online!
Before OICQ was launched, there were multiple versions of Chinese ICQ in China:
Taiwan Information People Company was the first to launch a Chinese traditional Chinese version of ICQ, named CICQ, and launched a Chinese Simplified Chinese version of PICQ after entering the mainland market last summer, but this software is a bit unsuitable.
Around the same time, two young engineers in Nanjing founded Polaris Software and launched an ICQ-like product, the Internet Genie, but the performance was not very stable.
Subsequently, Guangzhou Telecom took a fancy to the network chat tool and wanted to buy a Chinese instant messaging tool similar to ICQ, and publicly tendered the whole society, saying that disclosure was actually an internal decision - its Feihua company has completed all product development and named PCICQ, and the bidding specifications are for the technical characteristics released by PCICQ.
The reason why there is a radish bidding is that everyone understands the reason: If not, how can we logically wash out the benefits of the fee? If not, how can we launder all the messy public relations expenses and entertainment expenses that cannot be put on the table?
Bonima saw the news, and even knew the news of the internal decision, but insisted on giving it a try, and wrote a bidding document with a few like-minded people and named it OICQ, and participated in the project bidding as a bidding plan.
The sentence - "Why don't we raise it first." In Chang Tianhao's view, he has the style of an idealist!
Bonima proposed the OICQ idea, and the actual developers were Zhang Zhidong, Xu Gangwu, Wu Xiaoguang, Feng Linyi and other 4 people. However, Bonima played a huge role in leading the way, identifying three principles of innovation:
First, it has an offline messaging function;
second, to fully control the volume of the software;
Third, optimize the user interface environment.
These micro-innovations are the key to success and the foresight of technology-driven leaders.
At this time, the competitive environment is also favorable to Bonyma, and there are three domestic opponents: Taiwan's information people are restricted by policies and never know how to operate the huge mainland market; Nanjing Polaris is mainly engaged in chess and card games, and lacks resolute investment in the Internet elf; and PCICQ is only one of the many service projects of Guangzhou Information Port, which has never been regarded as a strategic product, and the system of state-owned enterprises cannot keep up with the rapid iterative competition.
This is a very favorable environment.
In May 1996, the first Internet café in Shanghai, Wigate Computer Room, had 50 computers and cost as much as 40 yuan per hour. By the end of '98, there were nearly 10,000 Internet cafes across the country, and the price was still as high as 10-15 yuan per hour. There is a large Internet café on the second floor of Tencent's office building. Chang Tianhao built the second floor of Tongtian Building into an Internet café and got inspiration from it.
Even if there are 500,000 computers with Internet access in the country at this time, compared to 1.2 billion people are a drop in the bucket, it is difficult for ordinary people to have a personal computer, if all the messages are fixed in the local computer according to the ICQ method, it is difficult to promote in China, OICQ moved the user content and friend list from the client to the background server, to avoid the trouble of losing user information and friend list, which is a huge innovation.
The volume of an ICQ software is at least 3-5MB, with the network speed at that time, it takes dozens of minutes to download, Tencent has exerted its technical talent, and effectively controlled the volume of the software, all software packages are only 220K, and users only need 5 minutes to download, which has a huge advantage over other competitive products.
At the same time, Tencent decisively adopted UDP instead of TCP technology, which is common to other competing products, and although it is difficult to develop, it can greatly save server resources and enable a single server to support more clients.
In the United States, no one does this, just don't add a server, because labor is far more expensive than a server, and in China is the opposite, at this time, a high-grade server is equivalent to the average IT engineer's income for 2 years, how can it be said that it will be added? This seemingly subtle innovation can make a cash-strapped startup last longer.
Sometimes, exhausting your opponent's strength and persevering to the end is also a victory!
In specific use, ICQ can only chat with online friends and can only find friends according to the information provided by the user, in other words, each friend knows each other in advance, which is just a network of acquaintances, while OICQ allows users to directly add strangers who are online at that time as friends, which greatly expands the social function and is a model of stranger socialization.
The phrase "are you GG or MM" became a classic greeting in the era of online enlightenment.
As a technical expert, Ning Zhiyuan can see the superiority of OICQ at a glance.
Copycats are cottages, the same copycats, why is only OICQ successful among the four software? This is a question that needs to be thought about very well.
Chang Tianhao nodded: "I'll try this software first, if you say it well, the company may consider cooperation instead of doing it yourself......"
Everyone was stunned, this is the first time Chang Tianhao has said the word "cooperation", what project he used to fancy, Chang always had to roll up his sleeves and do it himself!
"The Internet is so big, we can't have it alone, we don't have so much capital to support the project, and more importantly, the talent pool is not enough. I will consider talking to each other at the appropriate time, and if they have a good momentum, there is a possibility of in-depth cooperation between the two sides...... For example, you can use their account to log in to Huizhi World, embed the game platform in OICQ - pointing to our Biyou Palace, embedding the e-commerce platform - pointing to Vientiane Mall, and embedding Alipay - pointing to our e-bank account. If you can achieve this level of cooperation, what difference does it make if you develop it yourself?"
Everyone nodded: they want to develop social and chat software is essentially this usage, if OICQ can reach this level, it is no different from developing it themselves? Chang Tianhao is right, the company still needs to focus on the development of games and Vientiane Mall.
In fact, he has thought about this problem for a long time: he doesn't have the energy and ability to toss so much about the Internet industry, and it is a good idea to let Bonima run the business, and it is difficult for two Karisma-type leaders to coexist, but one Karisma and one technology-driven can coexist...... Since Bonima has proved his success and has a relatively generous reputation in the Internet industry, why can't the two sides cooperate?
"After discussing with Linda, I basically decided to reserve and develop the original script of "Knights of Babel" as the third game, and the new action and animation design, including art, special effects and music, should be strengthened to create an action game with a western fantasy background......"
Chang Tianhao emphasized, "There will be a new director when the plot control and creative attribution will come, and the release time is scheduled for March-April next year." The plot script combing and comprehensive run-in of "The Legend of the Water Margin" can probably be realized by the end of this month, continuing to maintain the rhythm of the release in May, and promoting it in April; In addition, Huizhi World will end the official operation of the public beta in March, and there will be a Tongtian Cup competition, and the Vientiane Mall will be launched simultaneously after the end of the public beta!
Everyone raised their arms and shouted: "Come on!"
