"How much trust and support can you give me?"

"It's bigger than you think. ”

Bian Xuedao is speaking from the heart.

He sincerely wanted to fully support Zhang Xiaolong in R&D, because he knew the ability and value of this person.

Who is Zhang Xiaolong?

A sentence of "the father of WeChat" is not enough to sum up his whole picture.

Zhang Xiaolong became famous very early, and he was one of the most famous programmers in China around 2000.

In the circle of programmers, Zhang Xiaolong is "star-level".

Later, Zhang Xiaolong's "Foxxx-mail" was acquired by TX, and after joining TX, he developed TX mailbox for TX, and later, he developed WeChat for TX.

How valuable is WeChat?

In the previous life, in the face of the mobile Internet era, TX Company was originally "precarious". The emergence of WeChat has "saved" TX and given TX a mobile Internet "trump card".

And that's not all......

Ma Hualong and his TX stock price has risen all the way due to the popularity of WeChat, from less than 200 yuan in 2011 to a maximum of 600 yuan in 2014, and the market value of TX has broken through the level of 100 billion US dollars and trillion Hong Kong dollars, and finally rushed to the 200 billion US dollar mark.

Of the $200 billion, WeChat contributed nearly one-third - the valuation of WeChat by international authoritative companies is $64 billion!

$64 billion!!

Present......

Bian Xuedao has preempted the security guard, input method and Weibo.

If......

If he "co-opts" Zhang Xiaolong and launches WeChat first, as long as he doesn't make a mistake, within 7 years, Bian Xuedao is very likely to create an IT giant with a market value of 100 billion US dollars.

Hundreds of billions of dollars in market capitalization, think about it!

There's a problem here.

Security guards, input methods and Weibo are all "copied" by Wang Yinan by relying on the memory of Bian Xuedao.

What about WeChat?

In fact, it is not impossible to "copy".

But at this point, Bian Xuedao hesitated.

Two reasons made Bian Xuedao hesitate, and made the decision to recruit Zhang Xiaolong.

First, even if the idea (idea) is learned from the side, it is Wang Yinan who implements it. In the company, some people know the "ability" of Bian Xuedao, some people don't know, and some people worship not Bian Xuedao, but Wang Yinan, and feel that Wang Yinan has achieved Bian Xuedao.

It is necessary to prevent Wang Yinan's "high merit and shock the master", and at the same time prevent Wang Yinan from losing the pillar of wisdom for science and technology once he has the heart of "self-reliance".

So, Weibo split out.

Therefore, it is best for WeChat not to let Wang Yinan develop it.

Second......

There is an idiom called "one eliminates the other".

Zhang Xiaolong stays in TX, and sooner or later he will be a strong opponent.

In his previous life, in terms of mobile phone instant messaging, Lei Jun's "Mi Chat" had already taken the lead, but in less than a year, he was defeated by Ma Hualong and Zhang Xiaolong together.

In this world, if Zhang Xiaolong is not dug up, even if Bian Xuedao finds someone to develop WeChat in advance, even if Bian Xuedao has a powerful platform of security guards that can quickly promote WeChat, will he definitely be able to defeat Ma Hualong and Zhang Xiaolong, who have strong execution after reacting?

Hard!

Therefore, in order to make the road ahead a little easier, it is safer to dig Zhang Xiaolong over.

Digging Zhang Xiaolong can not only ensure the development of an "original" WeChat, but also hit the product quality of potential opponents.

That's right, it's product quality, or "product sense".

The term "product sense" is often on Wu Dingwen's lips.

Wu Dingwen is a product background, and when he interviews newcomers, he often says "he has product sense" or "he lacks product sense".

For interview candidates for non-product planning positions, "having product sense" is often a plus. For interview candidates for product planning positions, the "lack of product sense" is a fatal wound.

According to Wu Dingwen, to have "product sense", first and foremost, is to have a deep understanding of business goals and objectives. With "product sense", when encountering any problems, we can do it - decision-making is based, action is directional, and the heart is very determined.

It can be said that it was Wu Dingwen's understanding and theory that made him better in the competition with Qin Zhonglan, and finally became the helmsman of Weibo Company.

However, as a product manager, according to the "Jianghu Rating", Wu Dingwen is a few ranks behind Zhang Xiaolong.

In business, product managers are often referred to as "jack-of-all-trades".

Because product managers need to understand and play many roles, they need to master a variety of working methods, skills and professional knowledge, including development (front-end, back-end, page, client, server), design (interaction, visual, front-end), operations (marketing, BD, content), project manager (big PM, pure development PM), testing, etc......

On the basis of understanding the above information, the product manager can better control the www.biquge.info and end point of the project, choose the optimal path, complete the plan, and achieve the goal.

Zhang Xiaolong is a first-class product manager.

In the past few years, he has been in the top position for a long time, and he has seen many people and tasted many people, combined with the life experience of his previous life, he has already had a set of his own way of knowing people.

Sitting opposite Zhang Xiaolong, Bian Xuedao could really feel the strange aura emanating from this man's body - he looked modest and silent, calm and indifferent, but behind his gentle surface was a fierce persistence and a deeply hidden personal heroism.

When the two talked, Zhang Xiaolong spoke slowly, and the words were basically in one tone, and when he talked about the Internet and products, his eyes flashed with great confidence, but even if the topic made him very excited, his tone remained the same as before, not the same at all.

Obviously, Zhang Xiaolong is a calm person, who knows how to control himself, and has a strong heart.

The more such a person is, the more he cannot be taken lightly.

In the Three Kingdoms, this Zhang Xiaolong in front of him is definitely a first-class military general who can tuntian, train soldiers, and attack cities.

Now, in front of people, we must brush up his "loyalty", otherwise when I turn around, I will be taken advantage of by other "lobbyists" and pull him away to be loyal to other "lords", which will be a big loss.

How to brush "loyalty"?

Giving people money and giving permission is the first thing, and the next thing is to fool.

Just like when he fooled Wang Yinan, Shen Ya'an, Hong Chengfu, and Wu Sijie, he used the general trend of "prophets" to fool them, making them feel that they had a future by following Bian Xuedao and could give full play to their wisdom and talents to make a career.

Brightly lit cruise ships sail by, and Victoria Harbour becomes more mysterious and beautiful at night.

Zhang Xiaolong asked Bian Xuedao: "Zhiwei's technical strength is very strong, what do you need me to do?"

Bian Xuedao weighed it again and again in his mind, swallowed the word "WeChat" back into his stomach, and said three letters - Kki.

It's a bit early to say "WeChat".

"WeChat" is a reserved item, and functions such as "shake" will not be revealed until the relationship is confirmed in writing between the two parties, so it is better to say "Kik" for now.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he changed it to "Kki".

The old reviewer can't learn to say goodbye, it's just that he reads too many newspapers. I know a little bit about Kik, Line, Kakao-Talk, and Whats-App, but I still know Kik the most.

So, he began to fool Zhang Xiaolong "step by step".

Bian Xuedao opened his first sentence: "I will first clarify with you my two personal understandings. The first realization - 3G and mobile Internet is the development trend in the next few years, for large technology companies, mobile communication applications will become more and more important, who owns it, is equivalent to having chips on the table. ”

Zhang Xiaolong looked at Bian Xuedao and nodded slowly.

"The second understanding - mailbox, the 'weak relationship link' message push, has long been the standard configuration function of MSN, Gtalk, QQ, Facebook and other old social tools and social networks, and people have become accustomed to 'being pushed' to selectively capture certain information. Compared with mailboxes, mobile phone contacts are more underlying social networks, because the people on the mobile phone contacts are at least the people that users are more familiar with, so this layer of social networks is most closely related to reality. In my opinion, the best combination of the emerging location-based application services and state-based application services in the field of mobile Internet is the mobile phone address book. ”

After listening to Bian Xuedao, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhang Xiaolong's eyes.

Taking in Zhang Xiaolong's subtle reaction, Bian Xuedao continued to talk eloquently: "However, the application of social networks based on the mobile phone address book has always been blank. In fact, even in the field of PC Internet, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and QQ are popular today, the social potential of mobile phone contacts is still not fully explored. I just said Kki...... It's to fill that gap. ”

"I envisioned Kki, the social software for mobile phone contacts. It can directly establish a connection with contacts based on the mobile phone address book, and on this basis, it can realize functions such as free SMS chat, caller stickers, and personal status synchronization. ”

"To put it simply, Kki is a cross-platform application that can send free messages to friends who also have Kki installed on their mobile phones, and to put it bluntly, it is an IM with information push technology. ”

Zhang Xiaolong pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Compared with IMs such as Gtalk, MSN, and QQ, what are the advantages of Kki?"

Bian Xuedao said: "The advantage lies in the user experience that is so simple that it can't be simpler, and the friend network that can't be more real. Of course, these two points depend on your focus on sexual enhancement during R&D. ”

Zhang Xiaolong asked, "How simple should the user experience be?"

Bian Xuedao said: "1. You need to register when you use it for the first time, as long as you log in at the first startup, and then it will not affect whether you close the software or restart the phone." 2. After installing Kki, the program will scan the phone's address book and automatically remind the user of the contacts who are using Kki. 3. Kki will automatically select 3G or wifi according to the settings of the mobile phone, so you don't need to operate it manually. ”

Zhang Xiaolong listened very carefully, and the index finger of his right hand subconsciously sketched something on his thigh.

Bian Xuedao once again entered a state of "excitement" that fooled people, and he tried his best to show his insights to Zhang Xiaolong: "KKI seems to have simple functions, but there are many implicit limitations behind it, and its R&D and promotion is bound to belong only to a team with strong technical strength and capital, both of which are indispensable, because due to the large number of cross-platforms, the technical difficulty of Kki is not beyond the reach of ordinary technical personnel." In addition, the huge amount of traffic generated by the KKI service requires a high number and quality of servers, which means that a large amount of financial support is required. ”

After waiting for Bian Xuedao to finish, Zhang Xiaolong's face was calm, and he said word by word: "The idea is very good, but I don't think this thing will work, even if it is developed, it will definitely die!"

Surely death!?

Bian Xuedao, who was drinking water to moisten his throat, squirted out a mouthful of water.
