Delayed go-live?

Postponing the launch of such an instant messaging app?

Everyone present was shocked by Zhang Wei's decision, isn't the main business business e-mail? Why does it seem that instant messaging has become more important?

Luo Yansheng can't figure it out!

He exclaimed in surprise, "What?

Zhang Wei smiled: "It's if it can't be completed." ”

Song Miaofeng pointed to the computer screen, his eyes widened, "For instant messaging software?"

"Yes, that's right. Zhang Wei responded.

"Khan ...... Superintendent's decision...... It's just, alas, I don't even know what the director thinks in his head. Wei Zai whispered to the person next to him, he really didn't know if Zhang Wei thought of anything, is it true that rich people are like this? Don't treat money as money at all? For an instant messaging software, he doesn't care about the money for expensive equipment and servers, and he also said that if the instant messaging software is not completed, the email will not be online, how much does it cost!

Zhang Wei instructed: "Starting today, you will shift the main task to the development of this software, with ICQ as a template, I believe you will not take too long." ”

"Uh-huh, a few days without accident. Song Miaofeng answered.

Zhang Wei asked Song Miaofeng to arrange for people to design this software, originally he thought about making instant messaging software, but at the beginning he was subject to various technologies, and finally decided to make mailboxes, what he didn't expect was that because the company's programmers and technicians could not design satisfactory functions, the Jack Smith team he hired brought this technology instead, there are source files, and it is not too difficult to fully master this technology.

Luo Yansheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Director, this ......"

"What?" Zhang Wei looked over.

Luo Yansheng said: "Earlier, you urged us to complete the project before the scheduled launch time, why did you suddenly change your mind for an instant messaging software?"

Zhang Wei said: "The plan can't catch up with the changes, you can't see the effect of this software now, but you will know it when it is launched." ”

Maybe it was the reason why Zhang Wei was crazy before, Luo Yansheng became very measured in his speech, "I think so, instant messaging software now has MSN and ICQ, and our company does not have much advantage in doing this, in order to postpone the online time booked on the website, will it make the potential users who were originally expected to lose? Let me say it first, I think the prospect of instant messaging is good, but it seems a little worthless just for an embedded one-click login." ”

Song Miaofeng agreed: "I think so too. ”

Wei Zai nodded his head, "It may cause potential users to lose." ”

Zhang Wei explained to them with a smile, and said: "To be honest, it is not particularly important what project the company operates, what I need is to build a network company with the most loyal users in China, and now at this stage the mailbox must occupy a certain advantage, but in the future in the world, instant messaging is definitely more popular than mailbox, mailbox is irreplaceable, but instant messaging is even more unlikely to be replaced, postponement may make some potential users lose in a short period of time, but instant messaging can bring some users who are not interested in mailbox." After a pause, "Maybe in the near future, instant messaging will become the company's main business." ”

Luo Yansheng didn't know what to say, so he had to respond, "I understand." ”

Zhang Wei said: "Then I've been here to watch you make software these days, and by the way, I'll make suggestions on the side." ”

Everyone can't deny it, anyway, according to what the director said.

Time goes by little by little.

At noon, everyone was eating.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Jack Smith walked in in three steps as two, shouting in English: "Oh, dear Zhang, I've been looking for you several times, it turns out that here, our team has designed the mailbox function according to your requirements, do you want to try it out?"

Zhang Wei immediately nodded and said, "Bring it over and I'll take a look." ”

These technicians are all from Xiangjiang, originally Xiangjiang was under British jurisdiction before the return, and they are all software people, so they can naturally understand the conversation between Zhang Wei and Jack Smith.

Luo Yansheng was curious and asked Jack Smith in English, "What kind of function?"

"Email return notification and return slip after reading email. Jack Smith said as he walked over.

Sending back notifications? Everyone has a strange look on their faces, what's the use of this? When someone else receives an email, they will naturally receive it, and they will naturally reply if they want to reply, and they will send a notification back? They also have to read the email and send a message? Everyone can't figure out what this function does.

Zhang Wei didn't explain, "Try it first and see the effect." ”

Now the stage of the company has just started, he can only be added in accordance with the memory of the better functions, maybe it is a little arbitrary, but now people's vision is still relatively backward, want to make the company a hit, can only be like this, wait until the company develops, he will naturally not think of a big idea, which company is not the start of the entrepreneur first come up with a series of plans?

Why don't you use a good plan? Just like knowing that you can achieve success by taking this road, why should you choose to go around the wrong road first? Who should choose to listen to the wrong opinion when you know that you should do this, you can only say that this person has a problem with his brain, and it is obvious that Zhang Wei's brain is fine, and he knows very well that he should do this.

Jack Smith didn't know Chinese and gave the floppy disk to Song Miaofeng.

"That's it, I'll try to develop email. Song Miaofeng said.

Zhang Wei said: "I'll take a look." ”

The email was sent, and soon Song Miaofeng ran to another computer and clicked to confirm the receipt.

Everyone looked at it curiously, it turned out that the receiver needs to confirm before replying, this function seems to have a little effect, but the average person will not choose to reply to the email after receiving the email? Or ignore it, so what is the significance of the existence of this function? Just to inform the sender that the email has been read or received? What a strange function.

The trial is over.

Jack Smith looked at Zhang Wei.

Luo Yansheng spoke at the same time, "Director, this function?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "What's wrong?

Luo Yansheng touched his head, "Then I said it." ”

"I didn't let you stop talking. Zhang Weile said.

"Personally, I don't think this function is very good, I received the email as soon as I received it, why do you need this extra receipt?" Luo Yansheng said his opinion.

Song Miaofeng agreed: "That's the case. ”

Wei Zai also said, "I can't see what's good." ”

They don't look good for this function.,This kind of function can be added or not.,It's amazing.,But compare the first two features they designed.,For example, contacts and verification codes,They still don't think it should be added to the host system.,Because this function doesn't seem to everyone to have anything special at all.。

But what they couldn't figure out was that Zhang Wei was very optimistic about this function, and decided: "This function looks inconspicuous, but some people don't want to reply to the email after reading the email, but they want the person who sent the email to know that they have seen it, and this role will come in handy, and add it to the host system after translation." ”

Luo Yansheng was speechless for a while.

What can you say? Anyway, the boss has decided, so I'll add it.

The technicians were very helpless about Zhang Wei's decision, but they vaguely felt what kind of function Zhang Wei liked, well, functions that seemed useful but were actually useless.

Everyone thinks that the function of chicken ribs is what Zhang Wei likes!

This is a common idea of all.

……

The next day.

Yesterday at noon, everyone went to rest after eating, and this morning was in good spirits.

One by one came to the No. 2 technical department early in the morning, and they were surprised to find that Zhang Wei actually arrived earlier than them, staring at the screen and playing ICQ, which is insisting on seeing instant messaging as more important than the mailbox, everyone doesn't want to say anything more, it seems that Zhang Wei likes these seemingly useful but actually useless functions, and the good functions don't like it?

Which other e-mail is not developed according to the existing model? Because the e-mail is originally to send and receive e-mails and exists, it stands to reason that all the other functions are not important, everyone just needs to do a good job in this aspect of the technology, and wait until the user feedback says that it is not good to change it, and then it has to be designed very perfect at the beginning? Not to mention that it is not perfect now, but it seems very weird, they can't understand, other e-mails have only the simplest two or three main functions, but what about their own company? There are already four or five functions! In addition to the main function, they are all wonderful functions!

But Zhang Wei still insisted, they did not copy the email model of this era at will according to what everyone wants, the existing model may have passed in the current era, but next year Netyi's mailbox will be opened, it is also a free mailbox and a free domain name, if their company does not have a particularly attractive mailbox function, it will definitely divert users with Wangyi, so Zhang Wei's decision now seems so "unusual" The main function is definitely essential, but from the user's standpoint, these seemingly useless functions are actually very convenient, and they have been verified in later generations. Technicians think that Zhang Wei doesn't understand professional technology, but how do they know that Zhang Wei is completely from the user's standpoint, because his goal is to attract countless users!

When I started working, everyone listened to Zhang Wei's efforts to overcome the difficulties of instant messaging.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Jack Smith walked in with a floppy disk and told Zhang Wei that he had completed another function.

Luo Yansheng yawned and said, "Another function?"

Zhang Wei nodded and asked, "Which function is it this time?"

"Forward to others, multi-site, and scheduled. Jack Smith was succinct.

When they heard this sentence, everyone felt in their hearts that 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping by, forwarding others? What's the use of this? Who is full and supports sending emails and then letting others forward them? Multi-address delivery? Since there is this function, why do you want to forward others? The most bizarre thing is to send it on a regular basis, whose email is not sent immediately after it is completed, and it is also timed? Everyone can't figure out why they want such a function!

Amazing features!

These three features are not as good as yesterday's receipt function!

Luo Yansheng was dumbfounded and said, "Director, this function?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Isn't it good?"

A female technician stayed there and said, "Is it good?"

"I think it's very good and it's going to make a big difference. Zhang Wei said with a smile on his face.

Song Miaofeng almost fainted, these three, no, to be precise, a merger function, what's better? It's so chicken ribs! It should be said that chicken ribs are not even counted, they are completely chicken bones!

Luo Yansheng said in disbelief: "I can't think of what it does?"

Jack Smith couldn't understand their conversation and asked, "Can I test it?"

"That's it. Zhang Wei instructed someone to test it with a floppy disk.

"Then I've tested it, you can see if it works. "Song Miaofeng is difficult to accept these functions, there has never been such a useless function in the history of e-mail, I heard that Jack Smith sent the function again, and he still had a trace of expectation, this time it should be practical, right? It's weird!

After debugging, Zhang Wei smiled and said to Song Miaofeng, who was sitting on the computer next door: "Then I'll try the function first, and you can cooperate over there." ”

Song Miaofeng hurriedly said: "Okay, hurry up and test it, so that we can continue to conquer the instant messaging technology." ”

Luo Yansheng also looked helpless, "Let's test it first." ”

"I'll try multi-address delivery first, and you'll see if you've all received the email. Zhang Wei said and filled in an email at random and clicked send!

A while.

Everyone looked at the computer, and sure enough, there was an extra email, and this function was passed.

Zhang Wei tested the function of forwarding others again, and there was no accident, there were no errors in the function, and finally only the function of timed sending remained, and he set a time to send it five minutes later.

Luo Yansheng didn't have the heart to wait for the email to be sent, so if he had this time, he might as well think more about what to do with instant messaging software that had a little effect.

Only Zhang Wei sat there and watched very seriously, the smile on his face became more and more prosperous, the first two functions are very perfect, in the end there should be no surprise, these functions look inconspicuous, but in fact they are very useful, the mail forwarding function can make the email sent to the mailbox automatically forwarded to another designated mailbox, which is very convenient for users with multiple mailboxes; Finally, the timing function, let's say that a company's working time is 8 o'clock in the morning, and a company's emails may pile up a lot at night, so what should you do if you want the company to see the emails for the first time? Of course, it is sent during working hours, but what should I do if I am not available at that time?

It's convenient enough!

Absolutely practical!

Zhang Wei's pursuit is to facilitate users, that is, to let users enjoy God-style service!

After the test was over, Zhang Wei suddenly asked Jack Smith, "Is that all?"

Jack Smith said, "Well, yes. ”

"The timing of the scheduled send is not very accurate. Zhang Wei said very seriously.

Jack Smith sighed and said, "This is just a preliminary completion, and it needs to be improved." ”

I saw Zhang Wei sitting there and said: "Today's program is not as good as yesterday's design, take it back and change it." ”

Luo Yansheng was overjoyed, is this a euphemism to say that he does not use these functions? Yes, yesterday he immediately made a decision!

Jack Smith took out the floppy disk, patted his chest and said, "No problem! ”

What are you doing here?

Don't you understand the director's refusal?

Luo Yansheng and the others shook their heads slightly, the habits of foreigners and Chinese people are different, and the director vaguely said that people don't understand, so they should be more clear.

Zhang Wei spoke again, everyone thinks they want to talk about it now, right?

Who knew that Zhang Wei was not saying to Jack Smith, but to Luo Yansheng and the others, "I'm going to go out later, and after Mr. Smith has perfected the functions, you will join the host system!"

Luo Yansheng was stunned for a moment, and didn't react at all, "Plus...... Add a host system?"

Almost everyone present is going to faint, and I almost want to get under the computer desk!

What the?

These useless features are added to the host system?

I'll go to your second uncle! Director, didn't you just say that it wasn't designed yesterday?

Song Miaofeng almost took a mouthful of old blood!

The corners of Wei Tsai's mouth twitched with the other technicians!

Director, you don't use the meaning of what you just said? Why did you suddenly let it join the system again? What are the uses of these functions? Which email address have you ever seen that still has these chicken rib functions? Our company does free email address, not free chicken rib mailbox! )
