The excellent performance of Guanghui's mobile phone made Jiang Hui feel that it was necessary to start the development of a chat tool based on a smartphone as soon as possible, that is, a product similar to micro-chat.

Originally, Weichat was launched by Penguin in October 2010 and launched on January 21, 2011 as a free application that provides instant messaging services for smart terminals.

This epoch-making product was created by the product team of Penguin Wuyang R&D Center led by Zhang Dalong.

Although there are still four years to go before 2011, the level of Internet development and the development speed of smart phones in this life have been advanced by the Korn Kuan Group.

So it's hard to say whether the penguins will react in advance and launch a micro-chat.

Considering that Korn Ferry Group itself has no experience in the development of communication tools, it is impossible to develop Weichat in a few months like Penguin.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Hui felt the need to start the development of instant messaging tools within the group.

At this time, Jiang Hui thought of a person, Zhang Dalong, the head of Penguin's Wuyang branch, the father of Weichat in later generations.

The fact that Weichat was able to be launched in just a few months, in addition to the deep accumulation of Penguin itself, is very important to the efforts of Zhang Dalong's team.

In order to launch this product as soon as possible, Zhang Xiaolong led more than a dozen cadres to squeeze into a narrow office area and started a crazy "code farmer" life.

They spend time next to their computers, order takeout when they're hungry, stop for a cigarette when they're tired, or do a few push-ups on the spot.

The reason why he fought so hard had something to do with the competitive state that Penguin was in at that time.

Because the time for mobile social to go from start to outbreak is so fast, the penguins are very nervous up and down. At that time, there were 3 teams working on micro-chat products, and the other two were mobile communication teams and O letter teams, led by senior veteran Mr. Liu.

Mr. Zhang's team is at a disadvantage in terms of connections, resources and experience, and most of the group feel that he can't get past the internal hurdles.

However, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!

Worried about offending customers, Mr. Liu chose to compromise and ordered his subordinates to slow down development, and at the same time called Zhang Dalong, hoping to wait for him to communicate with the operator before releasing it.

Zhang Dalong, who is full of energy, has no worries, he develops products regardless of it, even if he offends people, he will not compromise easily. This paranoia eventually helped WeChat get through the "battle for the prince".

"Liao Yun, can you help me make a private appointment with Zhang Dalong, the person in charge of the Penguin Wuyang branch, to see if he is free tonight?

As one of the major shareholders of Penguin, Jiang Hui must have the contact information of the main personnel of Penguin.

"Okay, I'll confirm right away".

It is better to act than to move, this has always been Jiang Hui's style of doing things.

Although Zhang Dalong became famous as a young man, he is not yet famous. Jiang Hui personally flew from the imperial capital to Wuyang, and invited him to dinner for a special trip, and his sincerity was absolutely full.

Today, Jiang Hui's status in the Internet industry of the Celestial Empire is definitely much higher than Zhang Dalong's, and the platform of Guanghui Group is no worse than Penguin.

Therefore, Jiang Hui wanted to quickly and directly take down Zhang Dalong and let him be responsible for the development of the Guanghui Weichat project!

……

Wuyang is a historical city, although it is the provincial capital of Jiang Hui's birthplace, but Jiang Hui has not really gone to it very often.

However, considering that companies such as Aofei Animation and Meituan.com Branch are here, it is likely that Guanghui Automobile will also be here, and Jiang Hui will definitely come often in the future, or even live for a long time.

With the sunset, Jiang Hui's sincere flight landed at Wuyang Airport.

Jiang Hui, accompanied by Liao Yun and several bodyguards, walked out of the airport hall in a low-key manner and went straight to the restaurant.

Jiang Hui asked Zhang Dalong to eat at six o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, Wuyang at the beginning of 2007 was not in much traffic jam, and Jiang Hui arrived at the restaurant at 5:50.

In the evening, the place to eat is arranged at a time-honored Cantonese restaurant near the sports center. Looking out from the private room, you can see the Wuyang flagship store of Guanghui mobile phone.

Zhang Dalong was already waiting in the private room.

For Jiang Hui, the Internet predator and the company's major shareholder, Zhang Dalong still attached great importance to inviting himself to dinner, and decisively turned down tonight's arrangement and came to the box half an hour early.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting", as soon as he pushed the box open, Jiang Hui took the initiative to say goodbye to Zhang Dalong.

Zhang Dalong's appearance, Jiang Hui recognized it at a glance. If you want to meet this future master, you must do your homework first.

As for the apology, no matter what the reason, it is too late to be late. Although there are still a few minutes to the agreed time, it is later than the arrival of the guest, which is not justified under normal circumstances.

"Mr. Jiang, you are too polite, I have just arrived", Zhang Dalong got up and shook hands with Jiang Hui and said.

Jiang Hui, the big boss, took the initiative to apologize, and Zhang Dalong definitely wouldn't accept it stupidly, so he naturally said that he had just arrived.

In this case, whether it was really just arrived or not, the appropriate reply was that I had just arrived.

"You must think it's strange to ask Mr. Zhang to come out, don't worry, let's talk while eating."

Jiang Hui was chatting with Zhang Dalong while waiting for the food to be served.

As for the order, it must have been done by Liao Yun in advance.

If you go to a high-end Cantonese restaurant, if you don't order the old fire soup before the meal, it will generally be gone.

On the one hand, some soups need to be boiled for a long time, and it is too late to make them if you don't order them in advance. On the other hand, the price of these soups is often relatively high, and it is impossible for the store to prepare too many portions in advance and wait for customers to order.

For northerners, it may be difficult to understand why Lingnan province has to make soup for every meal.

The higher the level of cooking, the more hot the pot will be, the more "clear soup and little water" will appear, like boiled water.

Entertaining guests with this soup, northerners may feel that the host is stingy.

However, in Lingnan, it is not possible to eat in a restaurant without soup.

Although Zhang Dalong is a native of Nanhu Province, he has become accustomed to the style of Cantonese cuisine in the past few years in Lingnan.

"I have always hoped to have the opportunity to exchange views on the Internet with Mr. Jiang, but I didn't expect this opportunity to come so suddenly", Zhang Dalong smiled and chatted with Jiang Hui.

"Mr. Zhang, do you see the Guanghui mobile phone flagship store opposite?", Jiang Hui pointed to the opposite side of the box window and said, "I don't know what you think of this Gphone product?".

As the waiter began to serve the food, after the two of them chatted for a while while eating, Jiang Hui began to introduce the topic to the topic.

"Gphone?", Zhang Dalong pondered for a while and said: "I quite agree with what Mr. Jiang said, it redefines the mobile phone and is an epoch-making product."

Zhang Dalong didn't know exactly what Jiang Hui wanted to say, so he hadn't really confided his thoughts yet.
