"Gee, I should have thought of it. ”

Hearing Ren Pingsheng say the words "Zhang Xiaolong", Lei Jun showed a regretful look on his face.

"In this place of Flower City, except for AllenZhang, no one can catch your attention. ”

AllenZhang, that is, Zhang Xiaolong, this looks and sounds like a very ordinary name, but the man standing behind this name has single-handedly developed Foxmail, QQ mailbox and WeChat, especially WeChat, which allowed Tengxun to get the ticket to the mobile Internet era, created billions of users and tens of billions of market value for Tengxun, and is known as China's greatest product manager.

Of course, at this point in time, Zhang Xiaolong has not yet reflected all his value, but he has become famous in the Chinese Internet world, especially in the hearts of those senior old netizens.

In 1997, Zhang Xiaolong with his own strength, spent a few months, wrote more than 10,000 codes, designed the best free mail Foxmail in China, with the advantages of being lighter and more flexible than other email software, stable operation, Foxmail quickly accumulated more than 2 million users, successfully accumulated an excellent reputation in the mouth of domestic users, Zhang Xiaolong was also listed by his contemporaries as Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun, Wang Jiangmin and other first-generation programmers.

It's just that, compared with the famous Lei Jun and others in the same period, Zhang Xiaolong did not embark on the road of business, he has always adhered to the duty of a programmer, silently walking on the road of research and development, when Lei Jun has become the general manager of Jinshan Company, Zhang Xiaolong is still working for some unknown enterprises, although the Foxmail he developed is very successful and famous, but this software is free and does not bring Zhang Xiaolong any income.

A year later, the discerning Lei Jun noticed Foxmail, and he asked Zhang Xiaolong to buy this software by email, Zhang Xiaolong gave a random offer of 150,000 yuan, and Lei Jun immediately agreed.

It's just that Lei Jun was busy with the capital injection in Yanjing at that time, and entrusted the acquisition of Foxmail to his colleagues in the R&D department, but he didn't expect the R&D department to think that Zhang Xiaolong's Foxmail was not worth 150,000 yuan, and Jinshan only needed two months to make it, and as a result, the acquisition of Foxmail was made yellow.

Since then, Lei Jun has missed Zhang Xiaolong.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. AllenZhang's love for software and understanding of Internet products is one of the few geniuses in China, and if he could be included in Jinshan back then, we would not have taken so many detours later. ”

When it comes to Zhang Xiaolong, Lei Jun's tone is full of regret, obviously he has always loved talents, and he has always been angry about losing this talented programmer.

But Lei Jun didn't know that the intersection of his life with Zhang Xiaolong was not the only one.

After that, Lei Jun's own research and development of "Mi Chat" also lost to Zhang Xiaolong's research and development of "> in the competition of mobile communication APP In this way, these two Jing Chu people of the same age, who finished college in Jiangcheng, have endless entanglements in life and career.

However, this is all from a past life.

In this life, with the intervention of Ren Pingsheng, a reborn, the pattern of China's Internet has begun to change, and Lei Jun's life path will be even more different.

And Zhang Xiaolong will not continue to repeat the plot of his previous life.

Because, he is the talent that Ren Pingsheng wants to recruit the most in this life.

......

After understanding Ren Pingsheng's thoughts, Lei Jun quite agreed:

"Zhang Xiaolong is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, if he can be used for you, your career will definitely be like a tiger in the future. ”

"Still. Lei Jun frowned, and then said:

"It would have been good if you had started a few years earlier, now Zhang Xiaolong has been included in Tengxun's income, serving as the general manager of the research department of Tengxun Flower City, backed by the big tree of Tengxun, which is guaranteed in all aspects, if you want to dig him, it is difficult, difficult. ”

Lei Jun's worries are not unreasonable, Zhang Xiaolong missed the acquisition of Jinshan 1 year after the sale, he sold Foxmail to Boda Internet Company at a price of 12 million yuan, and since then he has disappeared in the Internet industry, in the 5 years he has been dormant, Internet giants such as Luoyi, Tengxun, and Baidu have risen, and many programmers and product managers of his era have become Internet tycoons.

Until 2005, Tengxun acquired Boda Internet Company as a whole and got Zhang Xiaolong, a cadre.

Compared with other Internet bigwigs, Ma Huateng, the helmsman of Tengxun, attaches great importance to Zhang Xiaolong, not only setting up a Huacheng R&D department for him, but also giving him great freedom of work.

In Tengxun Group, Huacheng Research Department is a unique existence, it has only done one thing since its establishment three years ago, that is, to rebuild QQ mailbox, so that the original bloated and inefficient QQ mailbox can stand on the same level as GMAIL and Luoyi mailbox.

And Zhang Xiaolong did not live up to Ma Huajun's expectations, and rescued QQ mailbox from a near-death state, which not only regained its life, but also won a good reputation in the industry.

Zhang Xiaolong, who had been unwilling until middle age, met his Bole in Tengxun, and there was a large group with strong funds supporting his research and development, and the environment he was most familiar with was Huacheng, all of which seemed to have reached the best treatment that a programmer could get.

Why can Ren Pingsheng say that Zhang Xiaolong can be moved.

In terms of financial and material resources, everything is better than Tengxin;

In terms of fame and status, Ren Pingsheng is not as good as Ma Huaxuan;

In terms of human affection and past friendship, Ren Pingsheng was several steps later than Ma Huaxuan.

What other tricks does Ren Pingsheng have to win Ma Huaxuan?

Lei Jun couldn't think of it, so he threw this question to Ren Pingsheng.

Ren Pingsheng did not flinch from this seemingly win-or-lose issue, he just asked Lei Jun very frankly:

"In your impression, what is Zhang Xiaolong's greatest pursuit?"

Ren Pingsheng's question was very subtle, very metaphysical, Lei Jun was also asked a little unable to answer, he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then slowly replied:

"I didn't have much contact with Zhang Xiaolong, when I used foxmail myself, I found that foxmail had a login password BUG, so I sent him an email according to the address left on foxmail, Zhang Xiaolong quickly replied to me, and left his phone number in the email. ”

"On the phone, I told him: My email password is 14 digits, and I always make mistakes, I just change the password to 9 digits, and there is a problem when I change it to 10 digits, and I guess this bug is in the length of the password. ”

Zhang Xiaolong replied modestly: A lot of people reported that there was a problem with the password, and I didn't figure out what the problem was. Thank you. ”

......

"And then?"

Ren Pingsheng saw that Lei Jun stopped his mouth and asked:

And then it hung up. ”

Ren Pingsheng was very surprised:

"Just that short, how many words did you say?"

Lei Jun smiled slightly:

"Yes, this is Zhang Xiaolong, he never wastes too much time on inconsequential things, he invests his time and energy on the product itself. ”

Looking at Ren Pingsheng's thoughtful appearance, Lei Jun added lightly.

"Zhang Xiaolong is a person who pays attention to details. ”

Ren Pingsheng raised his head violently, looking at Lei Jun's eyes that shone with wisdom, he seemed to have gained something from them.
