Gu Cheng still recognizes the combat effectiveness of YY's voice chat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In another world, this thing can suddenly kill tens of millions of users when QQ has been dominant for four or five years, (although QQ at that time already had hundreds of millions, and the user scale at the peak of YY was only 10% of QQ.) It can be seen that its differentiation advantages are still obvious, and there are many details of the functional experience that QQ really can't provide.

Moreover, if that thing is made, it is very consistent with Gu Cheng's current product line.

Players who play Legends, and even those who play other online games in the future, need to team up to level up and command siege/group P/next dungeons. You don't have time to type when you're scrambling to play games.

Therefore, you need a tool that runs stably in the background, does not need to switch out to type and chat, and can speak directly by pressing a shortcut key on the keyboard when operating.

Those who play Dingdang.com, classify music fans, and talk about music when making friends with each other must not rely purely on typing. If you can output a voice message, or hum two sentences, or type unclearly when introducing niche music to each other, you can put a paragraph directly in front of the microphone, and the communication effect will be obviously much better.

It can be said that among all the chat users, music fans have the strongest sense of "can only type and chat".

If Gu Cheng can solve the pain points of these two groups of people as soon as he launches the group chat tool, music and game lovers will definitely turn to his products.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, Gu Cheng improved his plan a little, and then handed it to his cousin, ready to let the people from the market research department investigate the feasibility.

Pan Jieying naturally handed it over to her classmate and best friend Liu Shuqin to do this. Now, as Gu Cheng's business grows bigger and bigger, the market research department is also changing its guns, and is preparing to open another "strategic research room" to study and plan the whimsical ideas that Gu Cheng occasionally puts forward and refine those things to the ground.

Liu Shuqin is just a two-year graduate MBA, so like Pan Jieying, she faces the same problem of talent and experience. Now the market research department is already a little stretched, and it urgently needs to replenish fresh and capable blood. If it weren't for Gu Cheng's fear of getting involved in unreliable commercial spies and spreading the creative ideas he came up with casually, he would have added people a long time ago.

Fortunately, the things assigned this time are relatively simple and easy to do, and Liu Shuqin can handle it.

In just a few days, the market research department came to a conclusion: "After multi-party technical comparison and objective network infrastructure data collection, the audio chat group is not feasible at present." ”

To put it bluntly, the broadband provided by domestic telecom and Unicom in 2002 was not wide enough!

Even in Qiantang, Gu Cheng's home base, which is ranked among the top 10 second-tier cities, the penetration rate of ADSL's broadband of more than 1M among netizens is less than 30%, and the situation in other third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas can be imagined.

"Due to the cold Internet winter, broadband operators such as China Telecom and China Unicom generally have no incentive to upgrade network widening and fee reduction. However, the mobile Internet of China Mobile and China Unicom has no entry momentum, and it has always maintained the GPRS stage of 20KB/s network speed. ”

"At present, the mainstream Internet speed can't even buffer and listen to MP3 music, and naturally there is no guarantee of delay-free voice. It is expected that it will not be until half a year to a year after the end of the Internet winter period that there will be an objective environment for launching a voice chat group without delay. ”

The analysis in these few sentences of the research report is so consistent with the truth of history. Because YY was supposed to be launched in 2004, and the Internet winter in another time and space ended in 2003.

"Is there any way to speed up the upgrading of the network of domestic operators? Alas, today's power is still too small, and we have no influence at all in front of the hundreds of billions of giants. ”

sighed slightly, Gu Cheng didn't bother to think about those useless things, and put aside the idea of doing YY for the time being.

gave Lei Jun an instruction to "convene a team, carry out technical research and development reserves, and move at the right time", and then allocated one or two million dollars to build up the team and technical reserves first.

Gu Cheng's current technical research and development force is a bit thin, and he can dig people from Ma Teng.

……

Gu Cheng also didn't expect that a lever point to boost and accelerate the speed of the country's Internet infrastructure would soon be sent to him when he unintentionally intervened.

In mid-May, in order to prepare for the concert in half a month, he went to Dongyi to confirm the preparation of S-M personnel.

After all, Gu Cheng's Eslite Audiovisual Company only has agents and artists, but it has never held a concert, so it lacks a professional soundtrack band, harmony, and backup dance. Even the stage lighting, props and scenery are all missing. S-M is a professional performing arts company, and among Gu Cheng's current partners, this is the only one that is professional enough in this regard.

When I went to Seoul this time, I felt and had a completely different mentality than before. After all, more than a month ago, the relationship between the Quan family and Gu Cheng's distant relatives had been revealed. Now not only the brothers and sisters of Quan Shunyu and Quan Baoya know, but even the elders in the family also know.

Gu Cheng also exchanged 10 million yuan to buy a luxury villa by the Han River, and applied for a long-term visa for his grandmother Quan Yinglian, so that she could occasionally return to her hometown to retire.

Kwon Yong-tae and Kim Sook-young also went a few times to meet their aunt, who had been separated for 50 years.

For Gu Cheng's young and promising cousin, Quan Yongtai and Jin Shuying are naturally very satisfied. If it weren't for the legal restrictions, Jin Shuying would have wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law.

Therefore, Gu Cheng is now in Seoul, and he doesn't even need to make a phone call to Quan's house, and Quan Baoya also gave him the key, so he can go whenever he wants.

On this day, at S-M Company, Kwon Bo-ah followed the newly debuted "Dongyi TVXQ" six-member group (the sixth is Han Geng) just rehearsed and rehearsed the song that was ready to be sung at the concert again. Gu Cheng, who came to visit, also walked on stage and had a general understanding of the process of the concert.

This time he has to sing six songs, which is naturally different from last year's temporary cameo with Kon Bo-a in Roppongi, Tokyo. Attention needs to be paid to the cooperation with the band, set, and lighting, and Gu Cheng, who lacks stage experience, still has a lot to learn with an open mind.

It was late at night after the rehearsal, and S-M provided dinner, but Gu Cheng didn't want to eat these. In addition, Quan Shunyu drove to pick up his sister, and Gu Cheng was naturally willing to follow along.

No one on the S-M side dared to gossip and chew their tongues, and now the management atmosphere there is a little more relaxed. Because several core personnel already know that Gu Cheng and Quan Baoya are related, Quan Baoya only takes Gu Cheng as his brother.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after arriving at Quan's house, Gu Cheng was a guest, so naturally he chatted with Quan Baoya and waited for dinner.

Quan Baoya is a novice chef and can't cook, which is a hard injury in her life. She has only finished her first year of high school by herself, and she doesn't understand many topics that Gu Cheng is interested in, so the two return to music every time they chat.

Quan Baoya hadn't seen her for more than a month, and when she caught Gu Cheng, she began to complain. Parents who were locked in an igloo for most of the day while filming the MV for "Winter-Love" and came back with a cold, or who danced for more than 10 hours in a row while filming "Valenti" and couldn't move their legs the next day.

She also showed off a little luckily, saying that the sales of the album "Valenti" were one or two grades higher than "No.1" at the end of last year, and it is estimated that she can compete for the top three of the Fuso Public Trust Chart of the year.

Historically, "No.1" sold 1.3 million a year in Fuso, and "Valenti" sold 1.9 million, which was originally a jump.

Now, because of the expansion of publicity channels and the hype assistance of last year's "Atlantis Girl" incident, "No.1" has sold more than 2 million, and "Valenti" has received the assistance of Inuyasha's theme song "Every-Heart" and the blue theme song of Life and Death Love, and the "Snow Flower" version of "Winter-Love", which can be described as a divine comedy.

Under all these bonus factors, it is easy to sell three or four million a year in the Fuso market alone. As long as you don't scare Hikaru Utada at her peak, the other singers are basically gods who block and kill gods, and Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro are not afraid.

Gu Cheng also learned from the casual chat that on the S-M company's side, Li Xiuman also began to transfer publicity resources precisely because the album "Valenti" came out and confirmed that Quan Baoya's godhead had been stabilized, trying to make "Dongyi TVXQ" debut.

The company is also preparing to take advantage of the popularity of "Inuyasha" and "Blue Life and Death Love" in China, and sell the new album to Dingdang in the near future to open up the Chinese market.

Gu Cheng naturally has no objection to this, after all, three-quarters of the income in the Huaxia market is his, and Li Xiuman and other Yi shareholders only make a small half. His only request was to adapt the theme songs of these two popular dramas into a Chinese version, and the other songs could retain the original lyrics.

Gu Cheng patiently listened to Quan Baoya show off and coquettishly, and after venting, he couldn't help touching his sister's hair and complaining lovingly: "I didn't see that you could complain so much, you were quite quiet in the past, you didn't say anything about your hardship, and you didn't show off your success." ”

"You're my brother now, complaining and showing off to you, isn't that all right!" Quan Baoya pouted arrogantly, with a natural expression. "I was too lazy to sue, anyway, as long as I complained to others, in exchange for others to sue me, it seems that if I don't countersue, he is not motivated and does not work hard. What's the point of being like this? It's so hypocritical. The concept of 'desk-warming' that you mentioned to me back then is really vivid when you think about it now. ”

Gu Cheng was quite surprised when he heard this explanation. I didn't expect Quan Baoya to have a lot of personality - since everyone else has to pretend to work hard, then the sister just doesn't pretend to be a big girl.

When Quan Baoya said this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and sighed: "Of all my friends, you never countersue when I complain, this feeling is so good - so I have decided that I will only complain to you in the future." ”

Gu Cheng was amused by these words, and began to run the train with his mouth full: "I call a big hero can be true, and a real celebrity is self--it's good if my brother doesn't pretend to be forced, but I still have to pretend to work hard? No way! Brother will tell the truth, success is because I am a genius, and no matter how hard I try, I can't learn it." ”

Kwon Bo-ah was chatting and eating fruit yogurt, almost bursting out laughing.

Gu Cheng is such an arrogant person, he really can't find it all over Dongyi.

"What are you talking about, laughing so exaggeratedly, eating. It's all hot pot made of quick-frozen ingredients, don't dislike it. ”

Gu Cheng and Quan Baoya were joking endlessly, and Quan Shunyu came to inform them that they had dinner. The two washed their hands, sat down at the table and began to shake the meat.

Quan Shunyu put down two fat cows, as if remembering something, and asked Gu Cheng: "Ah Cheng, there is news about two businesses, have you heard of it?"

Gu Cheng said casually: "Just say it, I have a lot of things, how can I care about everything." ”
