Chapter 137: A Fat Penguin in One Step
Although it is different from the first generation of Tencent in history, when it only had instant messaging functions, today's QQ has added several functions such as wireless paging, GSM short message, IP telephone network interconnection, chat room, mailbox, QQ group and offline messaging, but in fact, QQ is still too bad.

In fact, the ideal QQ should also include video chat and voice chat, point-to-point resumable file transfer, file sharing, network hard disk, custom panel, remote control, offline file transfer and other functions, and should also have QQ games, QQ show, QQ pets, QQ music, QQ space and other additional products.
However, due to the limitations of traffic speed, hardware, software technology, etc., many functions and additional products cannot be provided at the moment.
However, when QQ, an instant messaging software, was developed, unlike when the later generations were groping forward, Liu Si basically copied Tencent's experience. First, in the design of the QQ interface, the interface design of the historical QQ is completely borrowed; Second, when developing the server and client, we paid attention to the experience of saving friend information at the same time; The third is the setting of level upgrades.
The interface design of Tencent QQ is so commendable that the interface design of many instant messaging software is similar to this style. This shows that the interface design of Tencent OQ is very reasonable.
In earlier versions of ICQ, customer information was stored in the client, and once the phone was changed, all friend messages and chats disappeared. In the future, non-members can't save chat history in the server, but friend information can!
Liu Si naturally will not forget this, so when he developed QQ to Zhang Zhidong on paper, he put forward requirements for server development and client development: imitate Tencent in his memory, and save friend information in the server and client.
In 2004, Tencent introduced the QQ rating system, which at that time was calculated in hours. It was a year later that Tencent changed to the calculation of active days. Some people say that Tencent's revision of the hierarchy system is mainly due to the period when QQ grades are calculated in hours, and the vast majority of QQ users are hanging QQ, and then many media accuse it of wasting energy, and with the intervention of relevant departments, Tencent will change the QQ level to days.
Liu Si doesn't think so, although it is true that QQ is hung up for the sake of traffic network speed, the main reason is that the QQ level of the hourly calculation system is simply not too easy.
In addition to the four aspects of hierarchy, functional application, interface design, and practical design, Liu Si also gave the icon and logo of QQ. As for the image of the logo, do you still need to think about it? Penguins are mighty! Penguins are domineering!
Of the three sheets of A4 paper that Liu Si handed to Zhang Zhidong, one of the entire sides of the paper was a cartoon sketch of a penguin. Of course, the reason why Liu Dashao, whose artistic cells were almost eaten by dogs, was able to depict it was also due to the advanced rubbing technology.
In fact, for the use of penguin-like logo,Liu Dashao is still a little worried,You must know that in fact, the reason why Tencent chose fat penguin as the logo,In addition to being cute and pleasing to the eye,The most important thing is the cottage spirit,He must have learned a circle of linux penguin logo after learning icqγ
"Boss, this... It's perfect. After waiting for a while, Zhang Zhidong finished reading the three sheets of A4 paper, and he was very surprised by the content inside, after all, if there was no initial content planning such as logo, interface design, and function setting, he was sure that it would take at least a month more.
"Oh, how perfect? You talk about it. Liu Si admired Zhang Zhidong's admiring expression, not that he was gay, but that Zhang Zhidong admired himself as a capable person, and his self-esteem was greatly satisfied.
"First of all, QQ's name is very good and easy to remember; The second is the interface design, which is simply a classic, much better than ICQ, I am sure that only once our QQ is launched on the market, then the Chinese market will be swallowed up by our penguin company one by one. Zhang Zhidong was a little excited, this instant messaging software is simply perfect, and the most important thing is that it will be developed in his own hands.
"Speaking of the logo, it not only conforms to the name of our penguin company, but also contains QQ, a network communication software that communicates the north and south poles, and the network has no boundaries! It can be said that it is very consistent with the company's name and purpose. The more Zhang Zhidong spoke, the more excited he became, and even made a lot of brain supplements for himself, "QQ has added so many functions with wireless paging, GSM short messages, IP telephone network interconnection, chat rooms, mailboxes, QQ groups and offline messages, which completely surpasses the entire industry." β
"There are also small details that are eye-catching, the QQ hierarchy system, which will simply stimulate the enthusiasm of netizens in our country with 100% ......"
Watching Zhang Zhidong talk endlessly, Liu Sizhi felt that the news media killed people, and his mother's Zhang Zhidong is your wooden, unspeakable, and unsociable guy?
"Brother Zhang, although I also like you to praise me, I have to interrupt you." Liu Sizhen wondered if he would have been delayed here all day today if he hadn't interrupted him, "Let's talk about the rest!" You only rent half a floor, is it enough? β
Zhang Zhidong looked back at the office area of nearly 250 square meters, and thought for a while, "It should be enough!" β
Liu Si's heart made the mistake of pursuing the tall again, and couldn't help but intervene: "No, you go and rent two more floors." β
Neptune Building has only been officially sold for two years, and there are many businesses and enterprises, but after all, there are 28 floors of office buildings, so it is still easy to rent a two-story office building now.
Neptune Building is located in the Nanshan Commercial and Cultural Center District of Shenzhen, next to the central overpass of Nanhai Avenue, and the central overpass built on the side has increased the development prospects of Neptune Building, and the appreciation space is extremely high. Now it is only more than 2,000 square meters, but in later generations it is tens of thousands, and I can barely resist the temptation not to buy one or two floors as the company's headquarters! The first is that he looks down on the current second-generation office building, and the second is that he plans to build his own company headquarters in the future, and he does not need to spend a lot of money to buy it.
However, he has the character of being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, so he gave Zhang Zhidong a death order, "Brother Zhang, you will do this later, and you must also pay attention to the terms and conditions of the contract." To be honest, I am very optimistic about the real estate industry, and I opened a real estate company myself, and the future appreciation of this Neptune Building is huge. Therefore, when we rent a house, we will negotiate the price, and it is best to take a longer time. β
Zhang Zhidong listened to Liu Dashao's words very much, after all, this is the boss's order, isn't it! After that, he confidently went to the property company to talk about Penguin's continued lease of the two-story building. Living up to expectations, he rented the 16th and 17th floors of the office building at a lease price of 100 per square meter per year, an annual increase of 5%, 20 times the liquidated damages, and a term of five years. After signing an agreement with Neptunus Company and paying the rent and property fees of more than 100,000 yuan in the first year, he invited decoration workers to prepare for a simple decoration of the office building.
Only rented 2 and a half floors, so to be honest, Liu Dashao is still a little worried that it will not be enough. After all, in addition to Baidu and Alibaba, Ctrip, Sogou, Ganji, 360 Security Guard and Security Butler, Starting Point, 17173, game development companies, blog companies and other network companies are ready to settle in Shenzhen, so it is really hard to say whether the two-story office building is enough.
"By the way, QQ and wireless paging, GSM short message, IP phone network interconnection are bothering you to run. But come to think of it, it shouldn't be that difficult! Liu Si is very concerned about QQ and the interconnection with wireless paging, GSM short messages, and IP telephone networks, which means that there will be instant messaging software that threatens QQ's status before 2000.
"Don't worry! Boss, with my relationship with Ma Huateng, it is not difficult for him to help. Just wait for my good news! Zhang Zhidong is very confident in this.
"At this point, public relations depends on you, of course, don't be afraid to spend money, as long as it is spent reasonably!"
"Hey, hey... Boss, we won't be soft, who let the boss you are a local tyrant! Fighting local tyrants and dividing land is a matter of course. Although Zhang Zhidong said this, he decided in his heart that he must save money.
"So be it! You pack up all this information, and hopefully it won't leak out, even though no one in our country has noticed the instant messaging business yet. I won't go to the meeting with your classmates, just do what I have to do! Liu Si instructed twice, "I still have some things, if you don't have anything, then leave!" β
Out of the Neptune Building, Liu Si was very happy, maybe the penguin company at this time was much worse than the later Tencent, but from the perspective of the current era, this is completely a fat penguin in one step.
In later generations, Tencent was scolded for being out of Xiang, and the titles of cottage big brother, fat penguin and so on were put on him one by one.
Although Liu Dashao also thinks that Tencent is also a little too copycat, it has completely eliminated the competitive atmosphere of the domestic Internet, if you come out of uctalk, I will come out of QQTALK; If you come out of thunder, I will come out of QQ whirlwind; If you play pplive, I will play qqlive; If you go out of Taobao, I will go out of Paipai.com; If you come out of the bubble hall, I will go out of the QQ hall; If you come out of the dance troupe, I will show off the QQ dance; If you go out to go karting, I'll go out of QQ Speeding......
Tencent has created a lot of sins, wiped out batches of entrepreneurial and innovative enterprises, and the famous Renren failed because of Tencent in a sense.
In fact, Liu Si is also thinking about whether he should not interfere more in the domestic Internet market, otherwise the Liu family may be much more hateful than the fat penguin in the future. In this regard, he is very entangled, on the one hand, there is a market worth hundreds of billions, and on the other hand, he has a reputation.
Liu Si has not yet decided whether he should participate in the Internet industry or not, so let's let it develop naturally. Of course, he also thought of the fact that the people no longer pay attention to the fact that the Liu family controls so many enterprises, that is, the strategy of changing the legal person, the strategy of Liu's capital holding.
So how do you choose?
