Chapter 109: Tencent QQ was born
In Su Qingzhi's memory, Baidu was established at the end of 1999, and now it is only October, nearly 2 months ahead of schedule......
The thought of the butterfly effect makes his heart beat uncontrollably faster, a sign that is only possible when he is intensely uneasy.
Reborn in a lifetime, he didn't want to change anyone, he just wanted to change himself, but in the process of changing his fate, he inevitably affected others, perhaps because of the butterfly effect, he passed by Zhang Yixin.
"Even if I look at the world's population, I'm going to find you......"
The glimpse in the flying snow in Sanyang City has become a concern that he can't let go, and it has become the motivation for him to fight for it.
The sun had sunk in the west, and there were many people on the streets, and his shadow on the bluestone slab pulled the old elder.
Passing by the Qianqing Guild Hall, there was an Internet café called "Blue Moon" next to it, and he walked in.
When I turned on the computer, an icon of a little penguin appeared on the desktop, and below the icon were four English letters: OICQ.
This is an Internet-based instant messaging network tool, independently developed by Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd.
OICQ was originally modeled after the international chat tool ICQ, which means I seek you, and "OICQ" added a letter "O" before ICQ, meaning "opening I seek you", which means "open ICQ".
Soon after its launch, OICQ quickly became popular all over the country with its convenient social mode, attracting countless young people to seek after and use.
By 2000, it had swept through China's instant messaging market with an explosion, when ICQ's parent company, AOL, sued Tencent for infringement and demanded that OICQ change its name.
This paper pleadings are a blow to the booming OICQ.
However, Tencent founder Ma Huateng made a quick decision and quickly changed the name of OICQ to "QQ", which is the origin of QQ in later generations.
Of course, that's all for later.
At that moment, Su Qingzhi clicked the mouse and clicked on the keyboard, and the page showed that the registration was successful, and a five-digit OICQ number popped up: 59421.
What's the situation, I just love you?
He was stunned, habitually set the password to the first letter of his name plus Zhang Yixin's birthday, and the login was successful, and the little penguin icon jumped happily.
Clicking on the icon, an unfamiliar friend application pops up: "Hello, make a friend." ”
Su Qingzhi was taken aback, is OICQ so popular, just registered an account, and received a friend application?
In his memory, the surge in the number of QQ users should be after 2000, especially in 2002, 2003 and 2004, when it successively defeated Sina UC, NetEase Bubble and other instant messaging software, and established the position of the leader of the domestic instant messaging market in one fell swoop.
In 2000, shortly after the launch of OICQ, the market size was not large, with only 40,000 or 50,000 cumulative users, and less than 10,000 online users at the same time.
In the vast sea of people and thousands of networks, it is pure coincidence or fate that the other party can be added as a friend.
In fact, Su Qingzhi only noticed that the nickname of the strange netizen was "Blue Dream", and did not notice that the number displayed on her OICQ number was 59420.
He was stunned for a moment, clicked "agree", and the female netizen nicknamed "Blue Dream" entered his friends list.
"You were my first friend. ”
Blue Dream sent a message, typing fast, it looks like it should be blind typing, but it's in English.
Su Qingzhi replied directly in English: "You are also my first friend. ”
Blue Dream sent another string of English: That's really fate. By the way, your English is very good.
Su Qingzhi replied: You too.
Blue Dream: What do you do?
Su Qingzhi: Student.
Blue Dream: Have you passed CET-6?
Su Qingzhi: I am in my third year of high school this year.
Both of them are extremely fast in their questions and answers, and they both use English.
Blue Dream was silent for a moment, and then sent a series of periods, and then a string of English: Are high school students now so good at English?
Su Qingzhi was not polite, and told the truth: It's just that I'm amazing.
Blue Dream: I can see that your English is really good.
Su Qingzhi: That's what everyone says.
Blue Dream didn't know how to reply, so Su Qingzhi sent her a message: I still have something, let's talk another day, goodbye.
Blue Dream: Goodbye!

QQ in this era is very simple, no space, no mailbox, no mini news...... Except for the ability to send text, other functions are not supported.
However, this kind of instant delivery and timely reminder is a leap forward compared to the need to constantly refresh emails, making the distance between people within reach, and the convenience of the Internet has gradually emerged.
Su Qingzhi is a person who likes to delve into research, especially for Internet products.
From the perspective of a product manager, he examined from the perspective of this generation, from product design to function to user experience, explored the predecessor of QQ, OICQ, and then fell into contemplation.
At this time, in the far south of Shenzhen, which is the founding place of Tencent, their helmsman Ma Huateng should still be racking his brains for fundraising, right?
In the previous life, QQ did not explore a profit model at the beginning of its establishment, and with the geometric growth of users, Tencent was burdened with heavy operational pressure and was once on the verge of bankruptcy.
In desperation, Ma Huateng had to sell around, hoping to find a pick-up man and sell the hot potato of OICQ at a low price.
It's just that such a communication software that not only can't make money, but also keeps burning money to buy servers, no one wants it for nothing, let alone an acquisition, unless that person is a fool.
Facts have proved that China has never lacked smart people, but what it really lacks is "fools", and those great pioneers always seem stupid in the eyes of the "smart people" of their contemporaries.
Su Qingzhi is a future man with a "prophet", and he knows that Tencent is being reborn, and it is only one step away from growing from the brink of bankruptcy to a technology giant that has attracted worldwide attention.
He was even wondering if he should spend millions of yuan to copy Tencent's bottom ......
No, this is not a bottom-copying, strictly speaking, "picking peaches", the peaches that others have cultivated with great painstaking efforts, he sits back and enjoys the success.
Su Qingzhi was moved, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but any normal person will not miss the opportunity to make a fortune!
It's just that......
He is a reborn, not a normal person.
"With an atmospheric transport body, if you don't move, you will be like a mountain, and if you move, the mountains and rivers will be chaotic. ”
The power of the butterfly effect is immeasurable, and he has always reminded himself to go with the flow and not to try to influence the big social development trajectories of his previous life, because no one can say whether the variables he brings are good or bad.
"Reborn in a lifetime, I have to fight, and it is not known who will kill the deer. ”
Technology giants such as Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu are certainly behemoths, but he has already begun to lay out, and according to his development plan, his industry may not lose to BAT in ten years......
came out of the Blue Moon Internet Cafe and bumped into Ah Qing head-on, who stared at him with a grim face, as if waiting for a rabbit: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
