Chapter 40: The First Dividend!
HAO123 Studio, Technical Department...
Due to the large size of the rented office, as the studio gradually grew and the number of employees increased, Wei Ye began to carry out a simple upgrade of this 'temporary' office. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For example, the very important finance department, the technical department and Wei Ye's office, these important departments are specially separated by partitions, instead of being completely exposed as before, so that people can see at a glance.
The reason why this office is called a temporary office is because the area here is not very large, and it is barely enough to use it as an office space for the hao123 studio.
But if you really want to formally establish a company in the future, then the area of more than 100 square meters is really tight.
At this moment, Wei Ye and Zhang Hao were sitting in the technical department with the door closed with excitement and nervousness.
From the day the studio was officially established, Wei Ye was directly responsible, and Zhang Hao devoted himself to a new project - instant messaging software QQ!
Today, with Zhang Hao's perseverance day and night, the basic beta version function has been completed!!
"Hmm... ”
Carefully reading this instant messaging software, which is still the first in China, Wei Ye showed a very satisfied look from time to time.
Although this version is only an internal beta version that has just been developed, it has been tracked and guided by Wei Ye throughout the process.
Therefore, Zhang Hao is equivalent to standing directly on the shoulders of giants, and many users and feedback have gone through countless user experiences and feedback in later generations, such as custom replacement of avatars, offline messages, stranger friends, etc.
Many of these verified functions appeared directly on QQ in the first internal test without hindrance, and many detours and misunderstandings that later generations have gone through have been bypassed by Wei Ye in advance.
This also leads to the fact that this beta version of QQ, which has just been developed, is actually infinitely close to the very mature instant messaging software of later generations in terms of underlying architecture and overall positioning, and even UI (interface) design.
Of course, Wei Ye can't and won't pile up all the good features on the first version of QQ.
This is just like the Monopoly billing system that is very hot in the whole of Beijing, in fact, it is enough to do a few practical functions in version 1.0.
As for more, better and richer other features, it will naturally be slowly changed in future versions.
In this way, not only can users continue to experience a better and better user experience, but it is also extremely important for market competition.
Just like the Monopoly billing system, the Internet café industry in Beijing is selling so hot, and it has only been more than two months since it was officially launched to the market.
But this almost detonated the entire Internet café market in Beijing, and even the two new technical assistants recruited by the studio, plus the previous Dong Dalei and the previous ones, were too busy to take care of the current list at hand.
Therefore, in the next month or two, there will definitely be a variety of dazzling and overwhelming pirates and competitors in the software billing system of Monopoly, which is not very high-tech!
Soon, the upgraded version of Monopoly billing system, that is, the development and launch of Monopoly version 2.0, has become an important issue that needs to be dealt with urgently.
Of course, no matter how important things are, they are far inferior to the development of QQ, an instant messaging software, in Wei Ye's mind at this time.
Because only he knows deeply that this is still in a state of top-secret development, and the fat and cute little penguin.
What a terrifying number of registrations and what an infinite business prospect it represents in the future!
And now this version of QQ in my own hands, because it has absorbed the advantages and functions of many instant messaging software in later generations, so it is only from the perspective of user experience and functional innovation.
This version of QQ is much more advanced and beautiful than the QICQ officially launched by Brother Ma in February 99.
As for ICQ, which is currently the most widely circulated in the world and was acquired by AOL for $287 million not long ago, it will be crushed and surpassed by Xiao Ma's QICQ in later generations.
Therefore, after reading the current one, the internal beta version of QQ completed by Zhang Hao completely according to his previous vision.
Wei Ye firmly believes in one thing in his heart.
This is the best instant messaging app in the world right now!
And there is no one!!
Of course, this is only the closed beta version that has just been completed, and many small features such as software sound effects, such as system avatars that can be replaced by users, etc.
These small features still need to be experienced and refined slowly before being added, and the stability of the entire software still needs one to two weeks of testing and correction.
As far as the system sound of the software is concerned, the simple and abnormal 'Didi' chat sound effect of QQ in the later generations, as well as the system prompt sound effect or the 'cough cough' cough sound when someone adds a friend, as well as the 'click' knock sound when a friend goes online.
It's just a few simple system sound effects, and it's something that can be easily downloaded with any search software in the future.
In this era, it is really a headache, because there is no such sound source on the Internet now.
As for finding a professional sound engineer for dubbing, it is really not suitable for Wei Ye, a sling start-up team that is in the early stage of entrepreneurship.
"As for the sound effects, let Alice her... Go online and find some similar sound effects to capture and use them for life. ”
(Alice: Alice, Lu Qingyun's English name)
In the end, Wei Ye could only come up with this kind of method that was not a solution.
There are still many small system problems similar to this, so Wei Ye soaked in the technical department for a whole afternoon.
is to avoid any detours that Zhang Hao will take, so it is equivalent to slowly instilling in him the concepts of many Internet products in later generations.
He knew that he would never be able to keep such a close eye on every business of the company in the future, and he gave so much careful guidance.
He still has strategic things to consider, such as venture capital financing, development direction, manpower cultivation, national policies, and the international environment, so he must cultivate his own team as soon as possible.
Since he is his own venture partner, Zhang Hao must grow up quickly now, and he must become a technical director who can really take charge of himself!
And just when Zhang Hao slowly accepted the thinking and concepts of many later Internet products, and began to apply them to the studio's next strategic product, QQ.
The entire hao123 studio, but after more than two months of precipitation and accumulation, finally ushered in an explosive and terrifying growth!
First of all, the hao123 website, after three months of official website construction, the average daily number of visits not only directly broke through the expected 100,000 mark, but also reached as much as 110,000!
This can be said to be far beyond all previous expectations!!
And it also makes hao123's various advertisements begin to gradually and officially get on the right track, which is the first big step for hao123 website to slowly move towards a healthy state of breakeven!
The second is the sale of the billing system of Monopoly Internet Cafe, which has only been officially launched on the market for more than two months.
The cartoon image with a rich face, holding a golden ingot, and grinning like a Maitreya Buddha can be said to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Internet café owners around Beijing's Haidian District.
It's because of this unprecedented billing software that they can be freed from endless manual bookkeeping timekeeping!
Therefore, the bosses of the entire Beijing Internet café industry have burst out with extremely gratifying enthusiasm for this, and even Internet café owners in other regions have taken the initiative to go to the studio to consult the details of the case!
The two core businesses are currently showing thriving momentum and prospects, which also makes the entire hao123 studio begin to develop rapidly.
First of all, in terms of personnel, the sales team represented by Xu Hongsheng and Yang Zhenye has expanded to as many as 5 people, which makes the studio basically able to close an order almost every two or three days.
The recruitment of technical assistants has also been expanded accordingly, and with the addition of the two departments of finance and art, it means that the staff of the entire studio has exceeded 10 people!
The funds on the books of another studio, even if the monthly expenses are not small, such as rent, water and electricity bills, network fees, staff salaries, employee benefits, hardware purchases, etc.
However, after two months of normal operation, the book funds of the entire studio still reached a full 130,000!
This not only made Wei Ye and the two feel the joy of the initial success of the business, but also the first time they were able to enjoy the material dividends and rewards brought by the success of the business!
So today, on the day when the QQ beta version was just born!
Wei Ye made the first profit dividend decision since the establishment of the studio!
There is no other reason, but Wei Ye and Zhang Hao are indeed a little unable to open the pot.
PS: It's finally updated.,Xiaoqiang feels like he may not have written a book for a while.,Writing isn't as smooth as before.,I didn't hold back a few chapters for a few days.。
There are indeed a lot of things in the store, and the regular Xiaoqiang is at home at ease with the codeword, and an emergency call has to go to the store to deal with various situations, and then the whole person's thinking is chaotic again.
If you want to continue writing, it will take a long time to officially enter the state.,Xiaoqiang feels that he can't be ready yet.,So I'm a little sorry.,If you want to ensure continuous updates.,At present, I can only update one chapter a day.。
When Xiaoqiang's state is adjusted, he will resume two shifts a day.
Thank you again for your continued support and waiting!
