Bian Xuedao arrived in Hong Kong at midnight to meet Zhang Xiaolong, because Zhang Xiaolong advanced the launch date of KKI by 6 days, and launched it on February 14 "Valentine's Day" on the same day as the new components of Kaixin.com. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The "R&D center" led by Zhang Xiaolong has always enjoyed a large degree of autonomy, and the launch date of KKI is not listed, but the R&D team has the "right to suggest".

KKI was originally scheduled to be launched on February 20, which was determined at the high-level meeting of Youdao Group a while ago.

As a result, Zhang Xiaolong led his team to work overtime and stay up all night, decompose, digest and develop all the ideas and ideas in the group's high-level meeting, and rushed to come up with the online version before "Valentine's Day".

The employees worked all night to grab the time, why didn't they approve it?

Could it be that just because I can't arrange my time and work the itinerary, the hard work of dozens of people and hundreds of people will be in vain?

You can't do this kind of thing while learning the Tao.

He has worked as a reviewer, and has personally experienced the feeling of reporters, editors, and reviewers working together to complete a newspaper page, and being suddenly asked by the leader to withdraw the edition in the middle of the night. He knows that when the work of employees is not respected by the leadership, the enthusiasm of employees will be quickly consumed, and then it will be difficult to be stimulated.

And from a product point of view, launching a new product on Valentine's Day on February 14 is a regular but effective means of publicity.

From the perspective of those who have come from Bian Xuedao, even if this launch date makes potential users have a trace of ambiguous associations with this new product, it is a success.

As for the launch on the same day, it is completely unfounded to have a conflict with Kaixin.com.

Kaixin.com mainly focuses on the computer (PC), KKI focuses on the mobile phone (mobile), the two are not in the same battlefield at all, and the knives and guns in their hands can't touch each other at all.

On the other hand......

Kaixin.com is an independent company, and Bian Xuedao has no right to change its set date for the launch of the new version.

Of course, he can "strongly recommend" to Cheng Hao.

But just because of the "collision" with its products, the company in which he invests changes the launch date, and the billionaire IT giant only has such confidence and open-mindedness, wouldn't it be a joke to say it?

Therefore, Bian Xuedao would rather work his own and run around all night.

It's a worthwhile rush!

After updating the new version, Kaixin.com will become a phenomenal product, and Bian Xuedao will step on the time point on the eve of the release of the new version to investigate, and a few months later, it will become a new footnote to the "legendary" halo on his head.

KKI, although it has always been just an experimental product of Bian Xuedao, KKI's "epoch-making" attributes and status will definitely bring international recognition and prestige to Bian Xuedao, Youdao Group and Zhang Xiaolong's team.

Why international recognition and prestige?

Because Bian Xuedao remembers that in another time and space, WhatsApp, a similar software that appeared earlier than Kik, its founder Jan-Koum (Jane Koum) was a company registered on February 24, 2009, and released the first version of the product in May 2009.

I want to ask why Bian Xuedao can remember it so clearly?

First of all, I would like to thank Bian Xuedao for his work as a reviewer in another time and space.

Second, thanks to Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook.

Because it was Facebook that acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion, it allowed domestic reporters to write a hooking report titled "WhatsApp Founder: From Receiving Relief to Worth 6.8 Billion", which made Bian Xuedao's attention highly focused when reading the report, which made it memorable.

It is precisely because of the deep memory of that report that the previous group meeting "launched KKI on February 20th", because Bian Xuedao remembered that in another time and space, Facebook officially announced the acquisition of WhatsApp on February 20, 2014.

February 20...... February 20th!

Although Bian Xuedao is not bad for money now, the psychology of pleasing the lottery head cannot be changed for a while.

February 20...... February 24th!

KKI was released before Jan-Koum registered the company, the world's first software to send text messages over the Internet instead of carriers.

The world's first!

Five simple words, meaning a lot.

As long as KKI is the first to be launched, no matter whether it is successful or not, the subsequent products launched by geniuses from all over the world cannot get rid of the influence and shadow of KKI, and they cannot deny the intersection with a Chinese software, and cannot refute the inspiration from KKI.

Thinking a little deeper, at the same time as launching KKI, applying for relevant technology patents on a global scale, as long as the patents are in hand, even if they can't restrict domestic copycats, they can definitely force European and American companies to obediently take money to buy patents.

Technology patents, making more money and earning less is a trivial matter, the key is to feel good!

What's more critical is that you can use technology patents to block the necks of foreign software such as kik and whatsapp that have not yet been launched, limit their development, and pave the way for the internationalization of KKI's final product WeChat in advance.

So......

KKI is not only a software product, but also a precursor to the awakening of Bian Xuedao's "international ambition".

This man, who once wanted to be a public servant, after growing into a business tycoon, evolved and transformed again, sharpened his knives, and prepared to go to the international competition to compete with foreign giant companies for meat to eat.

Ten years ago, a generation of tyrants Zhu Haishan had a tough wrestling with Wall Street giants during the Asian financial crisis.

Ten years later, Zhu Haishan has passed away, and Bian Xuedao feels that compared with the Zhu family, he has more obligations and responsibilities to take over the baton of Zhu Haishan, so that foreigners can realize that "Zhu Haishan has successors", and realize that the 1000 million people will emerge from generation to generation elites to restrain their contempt, greed and recklessness.

Bian Xuedao feels that this is the elite of the country.

Like Shen Fu, let the proud European and American music circles respect her and the country in which she grew up and received music enlightenment education.

Like a few things that Bian Xuedao wants to do-

-- Let its football clubs hit the AFC Champions League;

-- Let variety shows such as "the-voice" and "The Voice of China", "Running Man", "True Singer", and "Dad and Me" achieve cultural export to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States;

-- Make WeChat a logo software product that goes abroad;

-- Make Youdao IDC data center a world-class big data frontier company;

-- Let Zhiwei Weibo and Zhiwei Video become platforms for promoting positive energy, morality and kindness, and promoting kindness, courage, responsibility and wisdom;

-- And the natural oil and the prosperous agriculture, and so on.

Many things that Bian Xuedao wants to do have a hidden but strong sense of responsibility inside.

Just like a player who replays the game in a flashback, once again, "brushing equipment" is no longer the first pursuit, and the mind of "brushing achievements" will be particularly vigorous.

In particular, the family education that Bian Xuedao received since he was a child allowed him to enjoy the wealth, fame, and status brought by the "prophet", and while cherishing a confidant, he constantly thought about what to do to make up for the consumption of good fortune.

Good fortune, a very illusory word in the eyes of many people, has a real weight in the heart of Bian Xuedao who travels through time and space, and then, he will try his best to restrain his behavior and strive to do something that benefits the public.

The world is like this, shameless people have a bottom line than shameless people, and people who are afraid of cause and effect have a conscience than those who are fearless.

Victoria Peak, Ho Tung Garden.

Although there was not much common language, Liu Yisong insisted on accompanying Zhang Xiaolong until Bian Xuedao's car drove into the gate.

After going out to meet the upper side, several people walked into the living room together, and Liu Yisong said with emotion: "After chatting with Mr. Zhang for most of the night, I finally understand what it means to listen to your words and read a book for ten years." No matter what the problem is, when you go to Mr. Zhang, you can point out the crux of the problem in just a few words. ”

While learning the Tao, he took off his coat and said with a smile: "Lao Liu, you have little contact with Mr. Zhang, I have already discovered this." I might as well tell you, I was still thinking about it when I came to the plane, I must find an opportunity to ask Mr. Zhang about his skills in analyzing problems, of course, if it is innate, then forget it. ”

In a word, the atmosphere opened.

Unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, he looked at Zhang Xiaolong and asked, "How is it?" Are you tired? Now go back to the room to rest, or do you want to have two drinks with me?"

Zhang Xiaolong said seriously: "Let's drink two glasses, I can't sleep without drinking recently." ”

Bian Xuedao listened, and said with a smile: "Fu Caining is entrusting foreign institutions to find suitable islands near the Caribbean Sea, once there is a suitable one, I will buy it and transform it into a resort for the group...... If you like Hong Kong and France, you can choose from this and Rouge Winery...... Uh, yes, no, the 14th, I promised to lend it to others. ”

Zhang Xiaolong showed a smile on his face and said: "On the 14th, KKI was launched, and all the employees of the company were on duty, so they couldn't tell if they wanted to. ”

(ps: For today's 2000 words,I checked more than 20 hours of information,The dates of several foreign software of whatsapp in the text are well documented and then racked my brains into the plot,At the same time, the development speed and career process of the protagonist Bian Xuedao in the book are generally in line with the overall development stage of the times.。 The reason why I write this way is because I think that the least respect a writer has for his readers is not to insult the reader's intelligence, and not to write as if he wanted to write as if he was mentally retarded who can't think, except for the special setting part of the novel, of course. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never have the protagonist who went back to 2001 and spent more than a year sweeping BAT and other giants, and grabbing any business in the country. I know it might be a little more enjoyable to write that, but I think it's an insult to the reader's IQ, because anyone with a little bit of a brain knows that no one with the most capable person can accomplish that much work in a year. ）
