Therefore, the first thing Yu Hao did when he came back was not to start work immediately, but to recruit troops.

Prior to this, they had already developed a rudimentary in-game messaging feature, but this was not enough for out-of-game communication.

None of them have seriously learned network communication, only Li Boyuan has a little understanding of it, but it is extremely rough compared to professionals.

Professional things should be done by professional people, which is the purpose that Yu Hao has always adhered to.

Through Li Boyuan's relationship, Yu Hao contacted three technicians engaged in the chat software industry, and it turned out that these three people had developed a chat software "skype".

According to reports, the technical level of these three people is very good, because they have a common idea to come together, and through their efforts, they have also developed a new type of chat software.

Yu Hao searched for this software on Xunji and flipped through a few pages before finding it.

After a simple trial, I found that it is indeed different from the chat software on the market.

Although this software looks very simple, it has no less functions at all, and Yu Hao noticed that this software pays more attention to the communication between "semi-acquaintances" or acquaintances, and can directly initiate chats with friends.

Software such as Instant Messaging focuses on chat rooms, although it can send messages with friends alone, but the operation is too cumbersome.

As a result, peer-to-peer communication cannot be carried out well, and some private words cannot be shared on the Internet.

And "skype" also has a point, that is, the data can be synchronized to the Internet, and there will be no situation where the friends are missing from the other computer.

"Skype" is really good compared to mainstream chat software.

But after it was launched, there were few users, and the most fundamental reason was that it was not promoted, otherwise Yu Hao would not have flipped through a few pages to find this software.

At this time, "Skype" actually couldn't afford to pay the high publicity costs.

The problem of insufficient funds, which almost all start-ups will encounter, generally in this case, many entrepreneurs will choose to go to the venture capital to recommend themselves.

"Skype" is no exception, and I also contacted several venture capitalists, and at first the reception staff of those venture capitalists were very enthusiastic about them, but as soon as I heard that they were making chat software, they suddenly changed their faces.

Regardless of their explanation that this software is different from the chat programs on the market, it is a tool to create a new era, and it will occupy a position as an industry leader in the future, and they are ignored and politely "invited" them.

Venture capital is not a good hall, you can't invest in any creativity, the current chat software is sluggish, and even the industry's fraction of the "instant communication" can only be regarded as not losing money, not to mention others, some don't even initiate wages, even if they really occupy the first place, what's the use?

You must know that a long time ago, some foreign Internet tycoons issued death notices to the instant messaging industry, believing that it is an industry with no prospects in the Internet.

This bigwig has a lot of influence, and even venture capital is naturally unwilling to get involved in this industry.

Therefore, the world's instant messaging companies are sluggish, for example, "instant messaging" even if it sells shares cheaply, no one cares, this is the beginning of a vicious circle, how to upgrade technology without money?

"Instant messaging" and "network pager" They are not the kind of enterprises that do not know how to make progress, and there is no shortage of good ideas, but what is lacking is money.

But having a good idea but not enough money to realize it is undoubtedly the saddest.

That's why they store all their data on the computer, can they not know that it is better to use a server?

Moreover, they are also crazy to pop ads on the software, don't you know that this will cause disgust to users?

After all, it's not that they are poor, but if they really have money, they can do this?

Born calves are not afraid of tigers, and the trio of "Skype" do not believe in evil and are determined to create a world.

But this is true of one venture capital, and the same is true of two.

When those people hear "instant messaging", they avoid it like they hear "SARS", and no one wants to invest at all.

Seeing that the funds are about to dry up, the three of them have no good way, their families are not too rich and have no money to support the three of them's careers.

And over time, the worst happened.

The number of online users, which was originally small, began to grow, from 483 online at the beginning, to 1246, and the number of registered users also reached 10,000.

If at first they were ecstatic about the new users, now they are fearless.

Word of mouth spread among these users, and the virus began to spread.

The data is refreshed once a day, but the more this happens, the more frightened the three of them become.

Because the server can't support so many people anymore, the three of them have no choice but to borrow money from around and get a new server.

In order to keep the communication stable and smooth, they invested their savings in this software for several years, and even borrowed a huge amount of money, but this was far from enough.

The network is still frequently interrupted, but users have not abandoned this software because of network problems, but slowly from 1246 to 4028 online people, and at the same time, the number of registrations has reached 5w level.

At the most critical moment, the "Hu Ge" in the team hacked a server of another company for his own use to solve the problem, but obviously this kind of thing can't be done too much, otherwise everyone will have to go to prison for a long time if they are discovered.

Now they understand why InstantMess only saves information to the user's computer, because once the number of users increases, it is like a bottomless pit that keeps eating up money.

But the funds have been exhausted, no one has invested, and they dare not use the methods of hackers anymore.

After several unsuccessful attempts to sell the software, all three of them were tempted to give up, and even though the number of users was significant, none of them could be exchanged for the equivalent of money.

During these days, the rental house where they lived was surrounded by smoke, and the feeling of frustration spread among them.

The leader "Wang Yuzhe" hesitated for a long time and broke the stagnant silence.

He snuffed out his cigarette and stood up.

"I'm the East tonight, and we haven't had a good meal for so long. ”

As soon as the words fell, the other two could understand that this was the "last dinner", and after today, the three of them might have to go their separate ways.

At the last dinner, the rough man "Yan Xibei", who used to be righteous, howled and cried at the dinner table, crying like a child.

It's not that they don't work hard, but what is the result of their efforts?

Wang Yuzhe wanted to persuade, but Hu Ge on the side raised his head and red eyes, choked up and said, "Cry, it's better to cry." ”

Since he was a child, Hu Ge has been taught that "men don't flick when they have tears", but when it comes to sadness, I can't help it.

Wang Yuzhe originally raised his hand to comfort the two, but for some reason it fell on the wine glass, he held back the tears in his eyes and poured himself hard.

This night, I don't know how much wine they drank, and by the end they had forgotten how to get out of the hotel and how to get back to the rental house.

But the memories of this night can never be forgotten, and they have become the thorn in their hearts.....................................
