Everyone in the conference room followed the source of the voice, and saw Li Zhanpeng covering his mouth and looking at Zhang Siyuan with an embarrassed expression. Xu Zelei slapped his forehead as if he had been defeated, and the others also laughed when they looked at Li Zhanpeng's funny expression. Zhang Siyuan is also thinking in his heart, it's a shame that Meitu hasn't appeared yet, otherwise Li Zhanpeng's emoji will be popular throughout the company.

Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "What Li Zhanpeng said is right, no matter how beautiful he says, it is not as good as it actually is." However, we are now in a juvenile period. I believe you also know that the company has been throwing money into QQ now, and there is no income yet. So, at present, apart from some basic salary, there are not many other benefits. But please believe that in the future, according to your efforts, you will all become multimillionaires, billionaires!"

Zhang Siyuan paused and continued: "I know that many of you are puzzled why we have not made any profits so far. Wouldn't it be nice to advertise directly like ICQ, and make money steadily. Here, I would say that this kind of vision is short-sighted. Because QQ in my mind is not just a chat software, it will become a social software platform. ”

"May I ask Dong Zhang, what do you mean by social software platform?" a middle-aged man sitting next to Xu Zelei raised his hand and asked.

Zhang Siyuan smiled at Xu Zelei and asked, "Who is this?"

"My name is Fu Yuntian, and I am currently the deputy director of the technical department. Without waiting for Xu Zelei to answer, Fu Yuntian himself said it first.

"What Deputy Director Fu Yuntian asked is what I need to focus on for you next. What does it mean to socialize, I don't think I need to say more, everyone should know. We live in this society, so we have to be in contact with other people. It used to be face-to-face, letters. Now there's the phone, the cell phone, and then there's our internet. ”

"Why can ICQ have 100 million users in a short period of time? The fundamental reason is that as long as there is a computer and the Internet, it can realize the communication between people. ”

"Dong Zhang, can't we QQ now?" asked Fu Yuntian again.

"That's right, we can indeed achieve this effect now on QQ. However, have you ever thought that if you follow this kind of thinking, then QQ will always be just a live chat software. And if we take QQ as the root of a big tree, and then develop a series of products based on the root, and grow into a towering tree, doesn't it feel much stronger?"

"But, what does this have to do with social software platforms?" Fu Yuntian didn't ask this time, Li Zhanpeng asked.

"Are you really stupid or fake stupid! Think about it, QQ is the root, and other products are developed through QQ. If other people want to use other products, do they have to have QQ? Then, does QQ have more users, and our future products, as long as there are things like blogs and the like, will users be able to interact?

Xu Zelei looked like he hated iron but not steel, in his heart, if Li Zhanpeng's skills were really good, he really didn't want to bring Li Zhanpeng to Times Technology, I don't know how many jokes he made. Now the entire technical department is basically a senior brother and a junior brother, and everyone can tolerate him at ordinary times. But according to Zhang Siyuan's grand plan, the company will definitely not be the only one in the future, and it is a question whether the new arrivals will tolerate him at that time.

Zhang Siyuan waited for Xu Zelei to finish speaking, and then added: "What Director Xu said is basically right. However, there is one thing we have to keep in mind. Advertising is 0 tolerant of QQ, maybe you will think I am stupid and give up a way to make money. But you can take a look at the fact that a chat software that only cares about the immediate advertising revenue will face no end in the end except to be abandoned by users. ”

"Director Xu, I want to know the current proportion of users of domestic instant chat software, do you have any information here?" asked Zhang Siyuan to Xu Zelei on the side.

Xu Zelei took out a stack of materials from the folder and handed it to Zhang Siyuan. Zhang Siyuan looked at it and said: "You should know that at present, various instant chat software such as Sina pager, OMMO, and OICQ on the domestic market are competing with us to seize the market. At present, in general, except for OICQ, which has about the same number of users, the others are not competitive at all. ”

"OMMO can't compare to OICQ with us?" someone asked below.

"Yes, you can try their products. Although OMMO has many functions, it is too cumbersome to use. Then you look at OICQ, the interface of OICQ is similar to ours, simple and clean. The ease of use is the decisive factor for OICQ and QQ to occupy a larger market share than other instant chat apps. ”

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. When developing our products, you should also look at the products of your peers. After all, you have to shop around for groceries, not to mention instant chat software that doesn't cost money. We need to learn from the strengths of others and change our own shortcomings. In this way, we can be stronger than others and seize a larger market share. ”

"Zhang Dong, I still want to ask, why are we more favored by users with fewer functions?" Li Zhanpeng ignored the others and continued to ask.

Zhang Siyuan smiled: "Very good, this question is still asked." I'm sure everyone here actually has this question in their hearts, but no one asks it. I'll tell you why, Director Xu, please bring me a computer. ”

Hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, Xu Zelei went outside to get a computer for Zhang Siyuan. And Zhang Siyuan also took advantage of this moment to drink two sips of water. After talking for two hours in a row, Zhang Siyuan's mouth was also dry at this time.

Wait for Xu Zelei to take the notebook and connect it to the projector in the conference room. Then I opened OMMO and QQ at the same time, and said: "Now I'll operate OMMO and QQ for you, and when I'm done, you tell me if it's you, will you choose OMMO or QQ?"

Ten minutes later, Zhang Siyuan turned off the OMMO and QQ on the laptop desktop. He asked, "Come, tell me one by one, which one will you choose?"

Including Xu Zelei, everyone in the technical department chose OMMO, even Li Zhanpeng, who was stunned. Dai Wanglong was left in the entire conference room without saying anything, Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "Mr. Dai, come, tell them." Will you choose OMMO or QQ? and why. ”

"I will choose QQ, don't think that I am afraid of Zhang Dong's embarrassment before I say this. According to what I think in my heart, the reason why I chose QQ is simple. Dai Wanglong said.

After Dai Wanglong finished speaking, Zhang Siyuan clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention to his side, and then said: "That's right, it's simple. ”

"Since the invention of the computer, our country has lagged behind the developed countries of the West. Including the Internet, we also had it many years later than Western countries. So, until now, computers are still a luxury. Moreover, not necessarily many people in a household with a computer will use it. You're all professionals, so you don't have a bit of pressure to use OMMO. But if you think about ordinary people, if they just need to chat and don't need those complicated functions, do you think our QQ is simple and convenient or OMMO is simple and convenient?"

"Our convenience. ”

"Yes, since users don't need that complicated stuff. Coupled with our refreshing interface and simple to use, why don't users choose us QQ, but also choose OMMO. In the same way, this is also the reason why ICQ will collapse in the country, whether you believe it or not, soon ICQ will be eaten away in the domestic market. Zhang Siyuan said confidently.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one was talking, Zhang Siyuan asked, "Director Xu, I don't know which version of QQ has been developed now?"

Xu Zelei walked next to Zhang Siyuan from his seat, found a folder from the computer, opened the program inside, and said, "Zhang Dong, take a look." ”

After Zhang Siyuan opened the program, he pointed to the projector screen and said: "Now, what you see is the new version of QQ that we are about to release, you can continue to ask me if you have any questions." ”
