After returning to the Northern Capital from London, except for Wu Shihuan, he went to Taiwan non-stop in order to supervise the tape-out. Hu Yiting and the rest of the R&D team have been tinkering in the real room of the computing institute in order to verify the optical drive control chip he designed. The difficulty of the industrial control chip lies in the fact that in the verification stage, each instruction needs to be debugged repeatedly until it is confirmed that all instructions can correctly boot the optical drive, and the optical drive can be addressed, read, repeated, and skipped according to the program.

Knowing that QQ is popular in the United States, Hu Yiting smiled slightly, feeling that this was expected. After talking to Ma Huateng on the phone, Hu Yiting couldn't help but log on to the English version of the homepage set up by Chongguang Software Company in the United States, and on the message board at the bottom of the download page, Hu Yiting carefully looked at the messages of foreign users.

"I'm just here to give it a try. ”

"I heard this software is good! I'll download one. ”

"Hey, this software is awesome, I just want to come over and say this, haha. ”

……

These kind messages made Hu Yiting feel very warm.

But there are also angry messages:

"You Chinese have just entered the civilized society for a few days, so don't touch the computer, this is not something you yellow-skinned natives should touch." ”

"I've seen China in the movie, red sorghum, those Chinese are disgusting, skinned by the Japanese like animals, you barbarians have actually learned to write software, you should really be grateful to us in the United States." ”

"Does this software work? It won't destroy my computer, right?"

"Warning! Warning! Chinese software is about to destroy your computer!"

In the face of these malicious insults and sarcasm, the more Hu Yiting looked at it, the more he held his breath, Huang Haishi had been beside him, reading the message board with him, and he couldn't help but be indignant: "These people are neurotic, right? Our software is free for them to use, and they still scold us?"

Hu Yiting took a deep breath, quickly adjusted, and said easily: "What should we do, don't pay attention to these trolls." ”

Huang Haishi nodded: "I know, I just can't help but be angry." ”

Hu Yiting smiled. Continue to enlighten him.

At this time, someone pushed open the door of the real room, and Hu Yiting looked up and saw that it was Li Kun, deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Computing Institute, who was standing at the door with a group of people who looked like middle school students. He introduced to them: "This is the fifth real room of our computing institute, which has a networked microcomputer, as well as various analytical instruments and real equipment, you can come in and have a look."

At this time, everyone in the real room stood up, and Jiang Yun obediently walked to the door in front of the computer: "Li Kun." What's wrong with this, this is?"

Li Kun is not a few years older than Jiang Yunshun and Wu Shihuan, but Li Kun is a delicate person, he used to be the chairman of the student union at NTU, and was quickly promoted to a young cadre after coming to the computing institute and served as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee.

"The Ministry of Education organized a science and technology summer camp to arrange for students and tutors to visit various institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, and today is to visit the Institute of Computing. ”

Li Kun said, and suddenly laughed: "It is said that Hu Yiting should also be here." ”

"He?" Jiang Yunshun pointed to Hu Yiting in the real room with Erlang's legs crossed.

"He's in a tech summer camp? with these furry kids?"

Hu Yiting was looking at Cao Yunuan's analysis chip design diagram at this time, and he put his hand on the back of the chair behind Cao Yunuan, who was laughing and breathless: "What's the matter? I'm also a middle school student science and technology competition winner." ”

Jiang Yunshun couldn't help laughing: "Come on, you, you're unfair competition." It's cruel. ”

Huang Haishi held back a wicked smile and said, "Hu Yiting, why don't you visit with them?"

Hu Yiting rolled his eyes: "I pushed it, the quota was given to the school, whoever you love will go." ”

At this time, a group of middle school students in front of the door heard their conversation, and they were all stunned, only a pair of teachers and students from Luzhou No. 1 Middle School were red-faced, and it turned out that the science and technology summer camp place given up by Hu Yiting did not fall back to Hushan No. 5 Middle School, but was intercepted by the province and handed over to Luzhou No. 1 Middle School located in the provincial capital.

"Hello, Hu Yiting, I am Xiang Qiang of Luzhou No. 1 Middle School. "A middle school student suddenly stood up in the summer camp visiting team.

Cao Yunuan looked up from the screen. Pushed Hu Yiting: "People greet you." ”

"Oh, hello. Hu Yiting was a little puzzled, he didn't know this Xiang Qiang at all.

Looking at Hu Yiting, Xiang Qiang was a little embarrassed. He had long heard that his place to participate in the national science and technology summer camp for middle school students was given by the national special prize student in Hushan. It is said that the genius is now out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements because he has made a world-class mathematical conjecture, and the Poincaré conjecture is no longer in the Five Elements. It means that the whole world will benefit from this, and from then on bathed in the spring breeze.

At the beginning, Xiang Qiang also thought about whether he should refuse to fill the vacancies left by others for the sake of dignity, but the temptation to participate in national activities was so strong that he only hesitated for a few seconds and gave up his ridiculous dignity, not to mention that it was the back of a genius who was filled, Xiang Qiang thought that this might be a kind of providence in the dark, a kind of glory.

"My research topic is computer Chinese character display, and although I lose to you in the national competition, I will become a great computer scientist in the future. Xiang Qiang held his face flush and introduced himself to Hu Yiting in a tone full of juvenile reserve and honor student arrogance.

Hu Yiting stood up and walked to the door of the real yàn room, shook hands with him, and said, "Study hard." ”

How did Hu Yiting know that the four words in his mouth that were understated shattered Xiang Qiang's self-esteem.

"He didn't regard me as an opponent at all!" he actually asked me to study hard......!!!" Xiang Qiang turned around and walked back to the tutor in shame and annoyance.

Li Kun applauded: "This is Hu Yiting from our computing institute...... Student, not long ago, he solved the Poincaré mathematical conjecture in our computing institute, and everyone applauded and welcomed. ”

In Li Kun's view, Hu Yiting solved Poincaré's conjecture in the computing institute and guessed that he was a person from the computing institute, so he always emphasized that he was a person from the computing institute.

In the spacious corridor, the teachers and students participating in the summer camp applauded, and several middle school students actually stood up and walked up to Hu Yiting to ask for a group photo, and Hu Yiting agreed to their request with a smile.

After Li Kun left with the students, Li Xiuming smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, you are really amazing, people have written a war with you, you go back to study hard, hahaha." ”

Hu Yiting scratched his head: "Isn't what I said wrong? He's a student, shouldn't he study hard?"

……

The birth of QQ has had a great impact on the global computer industry. You must know that before the advent of QQ, computer users basically relied on email or chat rooms to communicate on the Internet. It is the first time that people have encountered such a convenient and fast real-time communication function as QQ.

For a while, after the geeks in Silicon Valley met and said hello to each other, they talked about QQ, and many regarded the QQ number as an email. Second, the trend of means of communication.

After Ma Huateng returned to China, Hu Yiting convened a meeting of all employees of Chongguang Software.

Previously, Wang Lili rented a 500-square-meter house as an office in the guest house of the University of Political Science and Law in the west of Beijing University of Posts and Communications, where the annual rent was 600,000 yuan, and the water and electricity bills had to be taken care of, but the place was indeed much more spacious than the two private houses in the Kexin community, and the office conditions were greatly improved.

The largest room in the guest house is 140 square meters, and two load-bearing cement pillars are erected in the room, where the first wave of coders recruited by Chongguang Software worked, and the desks are separated by chest-high partitions, so that employees can operate computers and write programs in their own small space.

Hu Yiting stood at the end of the office hall. With two chairs under his feet, he encouraged the employees and sprayed endlessly for twenty minutes, drawing a beautiful blueprint for the employees.

After that, Hu Yiting, Wang Lili, Ma Huateng and several newly recruited technicians of Chongguang Software crowded into Xiaoma's office to listen to Hu Yiting's layout of the company's next R&D projects.

Hu Yiting cocked Erlang's legs and said: "I'll come first, throw bricks and lead jade, you can add it to me after I finish speaking, and if there is anything wrong, bring it up quickly." ”

"First of all, the multi-Chinese version of QQ is definitely the top priority, and the German version has been made at present. This is very good, we need to test it immediately, we have to send people to set up offices in Germany, and we have to run over the Internet cafes in Germany one by one. Be sure to convince them to install the German version of QQ on their computer. ”

"In the future, every time we get a language version, we will go to the country to set up an office and promote it, in short, the market should be segmented, with the aim of grabbing as many markets as possible before our competitors appear. ”

Xiao Ma nodded in agreement: "Mr. Hu told me a circle of friends theory last time. Indeed, as Mr. Hu said, as long as all the friends around the user use QQ, then it is impossible for the user to use other communication tools, because there are no friends he knows in that new circle, and his friends are all in the QQ circle, so at present, for us, it is the most important job to expand the user base as much as possible. ”

Hu Yiting said: "I'll talk about the problem of QQ group chat, Xiaoma and I like this function very much, during the previous domestic trial, many users can't put down the group chat, but this function is currently completely dependent on the server, there is no P2P auxiliary technology, which is equivalent to building a chat room on the server, the pressure is too great." ”

Hu Yiting licked his lips: "We are not AOL (AOL), they are listed companies, the market value is close to 10 billion US dollars, they specialize in chat rooms, there are seven or eight thousand chat rooms, it is estimated that there will be 14,000 chat rooms next year, they can burn money on the server, we can't afford to burn it." ”

Pony hurriedly said: "AOL's chat room is charged, from $1.5 to $3.75 per hour, I heard that it will start to provide a monthly service next year, $19.95 to chat freely, I think we can also charge a fee." ”

Hu Yiting shook his head and said: "As I said, the most important goal of QQ at present is to grab customers and expand the user base, so the charging model will not be considered for the time being." In the future, after we conquer the P2P communication technology, we will release the group chat function and provide users with free use. ”

Xiao Ma pursed his lips and nodded slightly in recognition of Hu Yiting's decision: "What Mr. Hu said is indeed reasonable, I agree, everything must have a priority, and at present, we should indeed focus on rolling out the software." ”

Hu Yiting patted Ma Huateng's shoulder and said again: "Also, we must step up the development and transplantation of QQ under the Apple operating system and linux operating system!"

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, we can't let go of this market, we must win, every time QQ upgrades its functions in the future, it is necessary to ensure that the functions on these two platforms are transplanted and upgraded at the same time. ”
