"New products, Awe, do you have any new ideas?"
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's right, it's a project I'm very optimistic about. By the way, have you played with ICQ before?"
As he spoke, Wei Ye opened the webpage and began to look for a way to download ICQ.
"ICQ? By the way, is it a foreign communication software? A software that can communicate with other people?"
As a cutting-edge Internet person in this era, Zhang Hao has really come into contact with ICQ, a foreign software, before, but because the interface is in English, and there are not many friends on it, he gave up.
"That's right, ICQ is an instant messaging software abroad, and my current thinking is, can we also make a similar instant messaging software?"
After looking for a long time, I finally found a way to download ICQ, and Wei Ye used the machine in the Internet café to download it, while discussing the feasibility of this plan with Zhang Hao.
"You mean to say... Let's make a Chinese version of ICQ out?"
"Yes and no, the sinicization of Chinese is certain, but what we want to do is not just sinicization, I want to do better than them!"
The corners of Wei Ye's extremely confident mouth curled slightly, and he had successfully downloaded the ICQ installation package when he spoke, and even began to install it.
"Oh, do it better? Zhang Hao immediately became a little interested when he heard this, and he wanted to see what Wei Ye wanted to improve.
"You see, the current ICQ, all its information is stored in the user's side, once the user logs in on a different computer, then the friends added in the past will disappear, which can be said to be a very big drawback!"
After opening the ICQ software that had just been downloaded and installed, Wei Ye began to analyze the many drawbacks that ICQ is currently facing.
"On the contrary, we can store all the user's information in the server terminal, so that whether the user goes to the Internet café or changes computers, it will not lead to the loss of his personal account information, which can significantly enhance the stickiness to the user!"
It seems that there is nothing wrong with this drawback of ICQ, isn't it just that all the friends are gone when you change computers?
But to know what the core value of instant messaging software is, it is actually everyone's social circle, in the current era when not many people can afford a personal computer.
If you have to add all your friends again when you go to an Internet café, the cost of use is too huge for users!
But if anyone can solve this problem first, then it is enough to use the circle of friends on his software to tie him, so that it can generate great stickiness and bring out the core value of instant messaging software.
"Yes, this improvement is really good. Zhang Hao nodded immediately after hearing this, apparently he also thought it was a very useful improvement.
"Also, you see, I can only communicate with my friends who are online, but if my friends happen to be not online at this time, can I send them offline messages?"
"Also, I want to meet more friends now, but I have to have information about them to be able to find friends. Wei Ye said and demonstrated the operation of adding friends, and found that it was impossible to find strangers who didn't know any account information.
"So can we provide a platform for more people to meet strangers, such as chat rooms, where they can find interested people to chat with on the Internet?"
This is also another big disadvantage of ICQ, that is, it only provides friend search between acquaintances, if you want to find a stranger who doesn't know any information at all, then sorry, there is no way and function!
"Huh, indeed, this feature is indeed very useful!"
Zhang Hao finally got really interested when he heard this, and it seems that he can meet the opposite sex on the Internet, which has a fatal attraction for any netizen!
"Yes, think about it, if we provide functions such as dating in the same city, different ** friends, and randomly searching for friends by age group, it won't be enough to attract a large number of young users??"
"Not bad, your idea is really good!" The thought of being able to easily search for other girls of the same age in Beijing made Zhang Hao, who was still single, couldn't help but have some wonderful reveries.
"Besides, don't you think the fixed silly avatar of ICQ is stupid? Why can't users customize their own personalized avatar?"
Wei Ye's repeated questions were immediately stunned when Zhang Hao asked at this time, he really never thought that a small instant messaging software could still play flowers?
"So do you think we can make an instant messaging software that meets all the above functions, and can compete with ICQ in the Chinese market?"
After saying a lot of software features that need to be improved, Wei Ye asked confidently.
"Well, indeed, if we can really develop it, then what ICQ naturally can't compete with us, but... What I want to ask is, can you really make money making this software?"
Don't think about it, Zhang Hao just listened to the various functions to be satisfied after listening, then he already knew that this upcoming instant messaging software must be a big money-burner who needs servers more than hao123!
But it seems that after thinking about it, I don't know how to make a profit for this thing, on the contrary, the investment in the server is more like a bottomless pit, so Zhang Hao really doesn't know what the significance of launching this product is?
"Do you know how much AOL spent on ICQ just a few months ago?"
Wei Ye didn't explain much, but asked Zhang Hao mysteriously.
"Uh, how much?" Zhang Hao was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect this kind of software to be able to sell.
"It's not much, it's just $287 million. ”
As soon as the $287 million came out, Zhang Hao was dumbfounded on the spot!
"Damn, why are you crazy??" Zhang Hao said that he couldn't understand it at all!
"So now... Do you still think it's necessary to launch this product?"
Looking at Zhang Hao's stunned look, Wei Ye was a little amused.
"Oh yes! I have to go up! Even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I have to do it!!"
Zhang Hao was completely stimulated by the purchase price of 287 million US dollars at this time, he didn't expect that such a small broken software could be sold at such a high price!
So if the two of them come up with a better instant messaging software now, how much money will they be able to sell at that time?
Suddenly, Zhang Hao fell into the fantasy of entertaining himself...
"Haha, that's good! From today onwards, in addition to maintaining the website and Internet café billing system, you can start developing our own instant messaging software!"
Wei Ye couldn't help but laugh, and even set a plan to develop new products.
"OK! No problem!" Zhang Hao also agreed excitedly, but after thinking about it, it seemed that something was still missing, so he continued to ask with a curious face.
"So what do you think we should call this software? Is it also called ICQ or something? ”
Hearing this, Wei Ye couldn't help but smile, and then he said in a tone without hesitation.
"Don't bother, just call it QQ!"
In this way, a huge social empire that will surpass the population of any other country in the future has officially set sail...
