In the conference room of Penguin Company, Lin Cheng, Ma Huateng and others gathered in front of a laptop, watching Zhang Zhidong manipulate a small penguin icon.

This little penguin icon is the QQ instant messaging software that Zhang Zhidong led a group of technical engineers to make in the past few months.

Except for Lin Cheng, no one here could have imagined that this little penguin would create a market value of 3 trillion Hong Kong dollars in the future, making Penguin Company the top spot in China's Internet industry.

At this time, the little penguin still looks very rough, most of the user-selected avatars are classic characters in famous anime, Lin Cheng wants to laugh when he sees it, these portraits obviously infringe on the portrait rights of these animation producers, but everyone doesn't notice it at all.

Looking at the avatars of Popeye, the Ugly Duckling, the Smurfs, and Garfield, Lin Cheng felt a little nostalgic, and his thoughts flew to his previous life in 2001, when he used QQ for the first time in an Internet café.

Things are not people, that is a very distant memory, Lin Cheng still remembers his first QQ number, that is a seven-digit QQ number, put it in 2017, it can definitely make people crazy to rob.

Zhang Zhidong said: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Ma, colleagues, this is the QQ instant messaging software we have just developed, although it is relatively simple, but we have experimented with it, and there is no problem with using it for instant network chat."

Coupled with the six large servers we bought last month, which can support up to six million users to chat online at the same time, and now there are not even 10 million netizens in China, which is definitely enough, and I think we can put this software on the market. ”

Zhang Zhidong was able to take out the QQ software, obviously he had done careful experiments and preparations.

Penguin's life is different from the previous life, with the injection of Lin Cheng's huge funds, Penguin has never been short of money, so Zhang Zhidong's time to develop QQ software has been shortened a lot.

In fact, it's not R&D.,It's just a copy of the QICQ made by the Israelis.,Chinese people's imagination is generally lacking.,The ability to engage in originality is much worse than that of foreigners.,But when it comes to copycat ability,No one dares to recognize the second in the country.。

And the Chinese people are serious about copycating, and even the original creator will feel ashamed.

In his previous life, Lin Cheng saw a video in which a German guy bought an expensive Swiss army knife and a cheap Chinese copycat saber from a shopping mall in order to show his contempt for Chinese copycat products, and then made a comparison video, wanting to prove the shoddy production of Chinese copycat sabers with a tragic comparison.

As a result, the German Yankee immediately felt embarrassed when he took the video, and he took two sabers to stick into the concrete floor, cut wooden planks, and collided with each other...... As a result, after several experiments, the blade of the Swiss army knife has long been curled and worn out, on the other hand, the Chinese copycat saber, except for a few scratches, is unscathed!

As soon as this video came out, netizens all burst into laughter, in the early stage, the German was like a nagging old lady, constantly praising the hardness and durability of the Swiss army knife and despising the vulnerability of the copycat saber, but in the middle and late stages of the video, you can only hear the German keep exclaiming "Oh, buy melons".

After seeing the video, Chinese netizens put on a look that I am a copycat and I am proud, while foreign netizens have gone out to go to shopping malls to search for Chinese copycat sabers for sale, and Chinese copycat sabers have inexplicably become popular.

Lin Cheng listened to Zhang Zhidong's introduction and kept nodding, although he still had a lot of dry goods in his heart, but Lin Cheng would not pour it out so quickly this time, as mentioned earlier, he was afraid that after saying these advanced things, it would trigger a butterfly effect and cause the penguin festival to grow branches.

Therefore, when Twist Teng, Zhang Zhidong and others asked Lin Cheng for their opinions, Lin Cheng didn't say a word, but couldn't stop nodding.

Witnessing this situation, Xu Chenyue, Zeng Liqing, and Chen Yidan all felt a little disappointed.

Before they met, Twist Vine and Zhang Zhidong boasted about Lin Cheng to the sky, but when they looked at it today, it was obviously not worthy of their name!

Of course, Lin Cheng also felt that Xu Chenyue and the three of them despised him, but no matter how Lin Cheng said it, he was a human being in two lives, so naturally he would not immediately slap his face back like the protagonist of the fantasy, just smile and forget it.

Lin Cheng thought like Ah Q in his heart: Anyway, Lao Tzu has already obtained 70% of the shares of Penguin Company, what if the Penguin Five Tigers are capable, after all, it is not to work for Lao Tzu to earn money, and Lao Tzu will not lose a piece of meat if they despise it.

"That's right!" Zhang Zhidong said: "Our company's penguin software is about to be launched on the market, have you chosen your QQ number?

Twist vine said: "Lin is always our major shareholder, 10001 will be given to Mr. Lin, QQ No. 1, this number Mr. Lin is the best one." ”

Zhang Zhidong also said: "Without Mr. Lin, there would be no Penguin Company, who is this No. 1 Mr. Lin?"

Lin Cheng knew that No. 10001 was the special number of the twist vine in his previous life, although he also wanted to have this QQ number, but since he chose to keep a low profile, Lin Cheng excused himself and said: "Ma is always the CEO of our penguins, and it can be said that he has worked hard for the development and growth of penguins, working overtime until twelve o'clock every day, and sleeping less than five hours, I think No. 10001 should belong to Mr. Ma." ”

Success is not accidental, twist vine in the penguin often overtime until late at night is indeed a thing, for the development of penguins, twist vine is really hard, working more than 16 hours a day, only eight hours of rest and dinner time every day.

When Ma Huateng gave a speech at Xiangjiang University, he also said that when there were no users chatting in the early days of QQ, he often criticized the girl's avatar in the middle of the night, pretending to be a girl to flirt with Han, so that the QQ chat room would not be deserted.

Xu Chenyue has a grudge against Lin Cheng, naturally he doesn't want Lin Cheng to have No. 10001, as soon as he saw Lin Cheng shirk and give the number to Mahuateng, he took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Lin is reasonable, as colleagues, we can't be clearer about Mr. Ma's hard work, and I can't find someone as dedicated as Mr. Ma in Pengcheng, and No. 10001 should belong to Mr. Ma." ”

Zeng Liqing and Chen Yidan echoed one after another, and Zhang Zhidong also felt that Twist Vine deserved this number, but Twist Vine could not refuse, so he could only take over 10001, a super large size with special symbolic significance.

Then all the way down the row, Zhang Zhidong's QQ number is 10002, Zeng sorted out 10003, Chen Yidan 10004, Xu Chenyue 10005, Lin Cheng helped Li Muzhen choose 10006, and he only received 10007.

Twist Teng and Zhang Zhidong couldn't look at it, and asked Lin Cheng to choose a top number, but Lin Cheng didn't think it was good: "007 is very good, isn't there a movie called "007" in foreign countries, it just so happens that my QQ number is 007, and even the screen name is together to live, my screen name is Bond, James Bond." ”
