in the office.

Li Yang was a little annoyed.

Zhuo Baolin's words undoubtedly gave him a blow to the head, and it was also a stick that made it difficult for him to refute.

I suddenly felt a little irritable.

Go to the special vested interests!

I just want to do something well, and it's so hard to make a little money!

And the other side.

Zhuo Baolin knew that if he didn't convince Li Yang, this guy would definitely have to drill into a dead end, and he didn't want to think about it, the country's money was so easy to earn.

Xin Yi continued ruthlessly: "This is just the trouble of benefit distribution, and more seriously, have you thought about it, not to mention whether our current technology can realize the docking of Internet and mobile phone data, even if it can be successful, you are so sure that they will agree to your use of national communication data?"

Not to mention in China, even in a capitalist country like the United States, it is unlikely that this kind of national security will be handed over to private companies, even the top contractors. ”

Li Yang's heart suddenly fell to ashes.

With a sigh, I had to put the idea out.

National security!

It's really a reason to make people still color, but it's true, the arms can't twist the thighs.

"Looks like we're going to have to find another way. ”

Seeing that Li Yang seemed to have the intention of compromise, Zhuo Baolin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With his conditions, if it weren't for Li Yang's ideas about e-commerce and online banking that moved him at the beginning, he wouldn't have to stay in such a small platform as Blue Sky Technology at all.

If Li Yang really wants to go all the way to the end on this road, although Zhuo Baolin will not say anything, there will definitely be cracks in the cooperative relationship between the two people.

"So what do you think? If we go back and continue to do OICQ stuff, then we're kind of picking up people's teeth. ”

In fact

Zhuo Baolin is very curious about why Li Yang's head has so many ideas that he has never even seen in the birthplace of the Internet in the United States, after all, as a new technical field, but the development of any new field, there will be no shortage of genius ideas, Li Yang's head is more creative than many technical talents.

Silence fell.

Li Yang's mind was spinning fast.

It is impossible to make him give up, as a latecomer, Li Yang knows better than anyone the market potential and value of social networks.

Now that he has the opportunity to enter this industry, he will definitely not give up easily.

And finally hugged Zhuo Baolin's old thick thighs, how could he let go so easily.

"It's not good to pick up people's teeth, we can do the opposite, since OICQ focuses on online communication, then let's do information integration and publishing. ”

In Li Yang's opinion.

If you continue to do Internet interactive software according to Zhuo Baolin's idea, it is indeed no different from picking up people's teeth, after all, there is not only OICQ social software in China.

In contrast, OICQ has made real-time social networking tools more thorough.

And as early as 95 years ago, thanks to the development of Internet technology, the earliest social network function in China was the Shuguang BBS website.

However, during this period, the functions of BBS were limited to the publication of announcements and communication via e-mail, which was extremely limited in terms of convenience and real-time.

Most importantly, the people who use BBS are the first group of intellectual elites and business people after China's reform and opening up, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with this kind of Internet social element.

So to speak.

The emergence of BBS has created a third type of model in addition to traditional Chinese correspondence socialization, that is, the Internet-based information publishing and information transmission functions.

And as the first generation of intellectuals who used BBS entered society, BBS was gradually unable to meet the ever-expanding social needs.

This was followed in 1999 by Sohu's Alumni Directory, an early model of the Renren model, and gradually blogs and forums began to emerge and gradually became social networking tools accessible to ordinary people.

It's just that during this period, Internet social networking is still limited to the stage of information release, and even grassroots citizens are difficult to quickly enter this circle in a simple and easy way.

It is precisely this background that caused the rapid development of QQ in the early days, thanks to its simplicity, convenience, and grassroots application, it soon spread into a social storm.

Other words.

If you don't want to pick up people's teeth, there are only two options, either develop a chat software that is different from OICQ, or do the opposite as Li Yang said, and continue to make personal web-based social tools similar to blogs and forums.

The former is basically impossible, because OICQ is already destined to find it difficult to find another way, at least the next three decades have proven it, except for WeChat, which is based on the smartphone platform, and Feixin, which is based on the huge number of mobile communication users, no chat software can break the market monopoly of QQ.

But Feixin Li Yang also knew in his heart that this was not something he could touch, so there was only one choice left, that is, to do a blog, or a grassroots blog, which was more similar to the later social software of Weibo or Facebook.

Turning a platform limited to the intellectual elite into something grassroots, making social networking faster and easier, not with long speeches, but with a sentence, a punctuation mark, or even an emoji that can be published.

"Are you sure there is a market for this thing? After all, there are already many platforms similar to this in China, BBS, alumni lists, and the forums that have popped up recently, all of which are similar to what you said. ”

"Baolin, you think too much, it's not that you haven't used those domestic software, and the limitations are very great, except for the university campus, a few people will use this thing.

But what if we develop a platform that has no registration restrictions, whether you are a college student or an ordinary person, you can easily operate, and you can update and publish your status at any time?

Do you think BBS or alumni can put down their bodies and compete with us for users?"

"It's probably unlikely, after all, they had restrictions from the beginning, and if they let it go completely, it would be contrary to their business philosophy. ”

Li Yang suddenly smiled.

But Zhuo Baolin also has his own ideas.

"You may be talking about this, but now the people who use the Internet in China are basically those people, and there are few ordinary people who use the Internet every day. ”

"Here's the point, do you think the Internet will always be in the hands of the elite?"

Zhuo Baolin shook his head.

"Definitely not, but the speed of adoption is certainly not very fast, 10 years, at least 10 years before it is fully popularized. ”

Li Yang immediately waved his hand.

Zhuo Baolin is a technical expert, but his judgment on the speed of Internet development is obviously very limited like most people in this era.

Standing on the timeline at the end of the 20th century, I am afraid that the vast majority of people or even more than ninety percent of the people would not have imagined that in the next five years, the number of Internet users in China will exceed 100 million.

In 1999, this number was less than 5 million, a 20-fold increase in five years.

"I'll make a bet with you, by this time next year, the number of Internet users in China will exceed 20 million, believe it or not?"
