"Lao Wang, I didn't expect you to jump ship and leave Ma Teng, God really helped me. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

After talking about business with Sun Zhengyi and returning from Fusang, before he had time to lay out a new round of promotion of YY and Alipay, Gu Cheng heard the news of Wang Qingming's defection for the first time, and was overjoyed.

Other things can only be put aside for a while, and this "general" will be summoned first.

Ma Teng, Ma Teng, this time I have to let you see the dangers of unloading and killing donkeys.

Wang Qingming can be regarded as leaving a strong mark in history - in another time and space, he also resigned in anger after Ma Teng recruited Zhang Long into Tengyun, and then started a business with Li Xueling, the former chief editor of Huang Yi, and engaged in a multi-play company and YY chat software. And Wang Qingming himself is the CTO of YY.

Unexpectedly, now that YY was rectified by Gu Cheng first, Ma Teng's plan to defensively extend the development of community products was also forced to be launched in advance, and the result was that this kind of unloading and killing donkeys was unconvincing.

"I'll let you be the CTO of YY company, give you 2% of the shares and 5% of the dividend options! and give you 5% of the mobile quota, you gather other technical backbone teams, and distribute them from this 5% as appropriate. ”

Gu Cheng very generously provided a generous equity and commission prospect for the original technical team, and also encouraged Wang Qingming, who was aggrieved in his heart.

After promising the benefits, Gu Cheng also had to say some pragmatic words:

"However, I've studied your resume, and you've been doing server data optimization in QQ for the past two years. This part is not very strong in demand on our YY side. We have more money, and the bandwidth and server redundancy are slightly larger, which does not have a big impact on the benefits.

If I give you this position, you must also be able to get dry goods that can be used to convince the public right away -- I am not putting pressure on you, after all, you are also because the horse is parachuted in and employs people, and you don't need old people to run, and if I also come from outside, I will directly entrust you with important tasks. What will my brothers who have been with me for two years think of me?"

The question mentioned by Gu Cheng is very realistic.

To understand this thing, we must understand a little bit about the meaning and value of Wang Qingming's original work in Tengyun.

After the development of QQ software, the technical challenge for the first two years was "server data optimization". Here's how it works:

For example, in the original version of QQ, a 1,000-word conversation might require 5KB of data from the speaker to the server and then to the listener, and vice versa. After some optimization, it is possible that this traffic only needs 3KB.

Text-only chat doesn't use many resources yet. But then features such as emojis and screenshots gradually appeared, and the pressure on the network speed and server response became more and more intense.

At this time, whether to send a picture to account for 500KB of data or 300KB of data, how to keep as much data as possible from going from the server, disposing of it remotely, and even the quality of other server data optimization work is directly related to how much money Tengyun's main business burns every month.

At that time, Tengyun Company had almost no income: QQ was purely free, and there was only one QQ member's ten yuan per month, which was the only cash flow of Tengyun Company, and other kinds of drills had not yet been developed. Therefore, Tengyun attaches great importance to the "net loss burning rate of QQ".

If a QQ with poor data optimization and 3 million simultaneous online users need to spend 2 million server depreciation and 3 million broadband fees per month. QQ, another one with better data optimization, supports the same number of simultaneous online users, and only spends 1.5 million server depreciation and 2 million broadband fees per month. Then the person who optimizes the power is definitely the most shining technological star within Tengyun.

However, the very meaningful work in Tengyun came to Gu Cheng's side, although it was needed, it was not so important.

The reason is very simple: Gu Cheng is supported by the two gold-absorbing online games "Legend" and "Miracle MU"! Every year, the music and film and television business can also earn hundreds of millions!

YY burns 5 million hardware every month or 3 million, Gu Cheng is not bad at all.

The efficiency is low, and it is nothing more than burning more money! Problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Wang Qingming's talent, resting with Ma Teng, is to "decide whether the company's remaining money is enough to live for 5 years or 3 years". When I arrived at Gu Cheng, it was just the icing on the cake that saved thousands of dollars every year.

Wang Qingming wants to prove his value and give the original technical backbone a dismount, and he must come up with dry goods.

"Mr. Gu, I understand what you said. I'm not a big dealer—besides, you're one of Tengyun's major shareholders, and you still hold 19% of the company's shares. I'm defecting to you, and I'm not going to outsiders. If it weren't for the fact that Ma Teng was so angry that he would have unloaded the mill and killed the donkey after using the people, I wouldn't have been like this. ”

Wang Qingming defended himself a little, and then prepared to spit out some dry goods to prove his worth.

As for the matter he mentioned in his mouth, "Gu Cheng is also the second largest shareholder of Tengyun, accounting for 19% of Tengyun's shares", it involves the further financing of Tengyun Company in the past two years.

Since the summer of 2001, Gu Cheng intervened in the sell-off of Tengyun's former major shareholders Yingke Digital and IDG, when Gu Cheng spent 600 million yuan to get 24% of Tengyun shares from Yingke Digital, and South Africa's MIH got 17% from IDG. At that time, the equity retained in the hands of the founding team such as Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong was 35%.

Because Gu Cheng diluted MIH's equity, neither MIH nor Gu Cheng could become Tengyun's largest shareholder, and the largest shareholder was still in the hands of Ma Teng himself.

Later, in the past 20 months, with the development and growth of QQ, Ma Teng naturally had to raise funds again, and during this period of share increase financing, a total of 20% of the company's equity was issued, which is equivalent to the equity of all original shareholders being diluted by two percent.

Therefore, as of 2003, Ma Teng and Zhang Zhidong's team still has 28% left, Gu Cheng 19%, and MIH 13%. At that time, before the capital increase, Gu Cheng and MIH originally planned to follow the investment to chase the capital, but Ma Teng attracted more than half of the shareholders to oppose and stop it, and Ma Teng did not want to have a major shareholder alone - at that time, it was already after the rumors of Gu Cheng and Boss Li's cooperation ADSENSE plan were exposed, and Ma Teng and Gu Cheng's mutual jealousy became deeper and deeper.

……

gossip, and said that Wang Qingming prepared a letter of nomination for Gu Cheng.

"Mr. Gu, I think you underestimate the value of 'data optimization'. Money can offset the money burn rate, but money can't buy a good user experience. Before I left Tengyun, I was brewing some data optimization plans, but since Ma Teng felt that I was not as valuable as Dong Rongjie, I didn't bother to say it. Please advise me now. ”

Gu Cheng leaned forward slightly, as if he was interested: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Before I left Tengyun, I planned to develop a function to transfer files online using QQ in addition to chatting and sending pictures and expressions. Add a widget next to the 'Screenshot' button to select a file from your local folder and transfer it to your friends......"

If this kind of function is listened to by a different person, it will definitely feel novel. After all, it is still a big pain point for netizens to copy files in different places, either by USB flash drive or by email, but in today's era, emails generally can't even fit attachments larger than 5M - unless it is a paid Huangyi enterprise mailbox.

However, in Gu Cheng's eyes, these functions are nothing, and there is no technical difficulty. As long as you think of this idea and arrange it, the rest is nothing more than manual work to build code.

"That's it?" Gu Cheng was a little suspicious.

"Of course, it's more than that. More important than the function, the data architecture - according to the traditional email, or the current QQ screenshot technical route, and even the MSN of the United States, all data transmission is from the uploader, through the server, and then to the downloader's computer, the server pressure is very large, and the transmission network speed is also slow.

However, with the end of the Internet winter this year, the penetration rate of domestic ADSL networks began to rise, and the most secondary and second-class ones were basically VDSL networks, and those 56K dial-ups were almost completely eliminated. With the popularization of ADSL, the mode of direct dial-up Internet access with one computer per household will soon be replaced by the home router model, and a household may have two or three computers in the future.

In enterprises, the trend of networking computers for the vast majority of work is also becoming more and more obvious. Not to mention Internet cafes. So in the future, we will face a large number of users, when communicating and transferring files to each other, in fact, in a local area network, or at least within a certain regional network. In this case, we continue to capture all these data exchanges to a few data centers and computer rooms in various regions of the country, and then distribute them, isn't it too inefficient?

We can filter the data requirements layer by layer, and guide the large files that do not need to go through the server, leaving only a few data pointers to the server, and the file body can be transmitted directly in a faster way. ”

Isn't this equivalent to users in the same LAN directly sharing files and transferring them in seconds?

This concept, in fact, is easy to think of, and the technical content is not high. But at least ninety percent of domestic netizens don't know how to set up LAN sharing, and Microsoft's unfriendly human-computer interface is full of malice, and it has to be learned by whites.

If you don't have to learn anything, just drag the mouse into the chat window, and the user experience is great.

Sometimes Gu Cheng has to admit that although Ma Teng likes to copy and copy, Tengyunjia still invests heavily in user experience optimization, and after copying, he has to reflect on whether he can "try to make the most knowledgeable novices who know the most about computers also use it, and never look at the help file".

Gu Chengxin said: It turns out that this function was made by you for Ma Teng!

Now Wang Qingming seems to have resigned earlier than the same period in history...... In other words, Ma Teng's subordinates have no one to plan these optimizations for him for the time being.

That brother reluctantly took it, drank this saliva first, and then you Ma Teng slowly groped for it back.

"Very well, put your ideas into a plan right away. I don't care how much server and broadband fees are burned in YY group chats, but the smoothness of the user experience must be guaranteed! This is our core value!

"Don't worry, what I just said is just the tip of the iceberg, and I still have a lot of dry goods. Wang Qingming patted his chest and gave the new boss a name.
