Weixin Studio, Panda District.
"I haven't found any bugs yet, have I? Has it been tested for compatibility? Zhang Fan asked while testing the software.
Behind him, the Panda PC R&D team is spread around.
Lu Feng, the person in charge, said: "At present, there are no bugs in the main function, and the compatibility with other software is also very good. β
"However, when we left last night, we found that after installing the 'Sparrow Plugin', there was an occasional 'opening flashback'. The reason may be that the plug-in is compatible with the software. β
Zhang Fan nodded, moved his mouse and clicked on the fourth 'green dot' at the bottom of the [Panda Main Interface], which represents the 'App Store'.
After opening, I saw that the mall is also a 'card-like flat style', with a design size of 1280x800 pixels, which is equivalent to the size of a 17-inch widescreen.
The content distribution of the mall is similar to that of the web version of the Dabai APP mall, and the main color is the same as the chat software. The upper bar is a comfortable 'grass green'.
At present, there is only one app in the app market, "Sparrow Plugin".
Click to open, and the entire app store will be flipped and switched to 'Sparrow Window'. The content layout is cleaner than the web version. Click on the upper right corner of the window, and there is a [Set as Common] option.
After checking, this 'Sparrow Plug-in Client' will turn into a 'Sparrow Dot LOGO' and appear at the bottom of the main interface of 'Panda Chat'.
It appears side by side with 'Settings Menu', 'Friends Add', 'Mode Switching', and 'App Market'.
If there is any information push on the sparrow network, it will prompt the user through the guΓ² 'sparrow dot'. Click to open the 'sparrow network micro-terminal' directly, and you don't need to log in to the website cumbersomely.
Users can use the same method in the future. Pin the commonly used plug-ins at the bottom of the main interface of 'Panda Chat'. Up to 11 function dots can be set.
The position of the dot function key. The best arrangement is automatically made based on the quantity.
β¦β¦
After trying all the 'plugin features'. Zhang Fan continued to repeatedly 'open and close' tests on the 'application market'.
"It's pretty smooth.,What you said'Sparrow plug-in incompatibility problem' to see if you can solve it.γ If you can't solve the problem temporarily, you can delay the push first. β
Lu Feng nodded and said, "Actually, it's not a big problem, it should be solved in two days." β
"Hmm." Zhou Yang said with a smile: "Let's strive to add more 'surprises' when we go online." I think this 'sparrow plugin' is very useful, not to mention the convenience, but also to avoid repeated logins. β
"By the way, how is the design of our 'Panda Market Software Development Kit'?"
Lu Feng said: "The development package is basically completed, but it still needs some details to be optimized. It is expected to go live in September. β
Zhou Yang clapped his hands and smiled: "Not bad." As long as this work is completed, our layout of the future 'Hummingbird System Application Market' will be completed! β
"Not to mention much, as long as the 'Panda Chat PC Version' can reach 100 million users, there will definitely be a large number of developers to help us develop application games."
Everyone nodded and looked at the chief designer Zhang Fan with admiration.
β¦β¦
'Panda Software Development Kit' is a kind of developer software developed by Panda PC team engineers specifically for the 'Application Market'.
Software developers can use this software to develop plug-ins, micro-terminal software, or games that are compatible with the 'Panda App Market'. It is also the most important environment for Xinghuo to lay out the computer software market.
With this development kit, the Panda App Market will become a 'PC software/game supermarket'!
Users no longer have to risk 'computer poisoning' and being tied up by 'rogue software' to download software and games from any green website. Just open the 'Panda App Market' and you will find a variety of software games. It's like a mobile app store.
In addition, this is also a layout of Zhang Fan's future 'hummingbird system'.
A new system, no matter how good. If you don't have software and games to support it, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the market in the future.
So Zhang Fan discussed with everyone. Lay out the 'Big White Developer Alliance' and the upcoming 'Panda Developer Alliance' in advance.
When the time is ripe in the future, the two developer alliances will merge to form the 'Spark Alliance' to develop application software for the Hummingbird system.
And Zhang Fan's conception of the 'hummingbird' is not simply a 'mobile system'.
Rather, it is an all-in-one system that can support 'mobile devices, computer devices, holographic devices, machines, and wearable devices' at the same time!
The Spark software part will also be unified in this system, which will bring a big revolution to the PC system field.
At that time, the 'Panda App Market' was Hummingbird's 'Metro App Store', and all applications had to enter the system through guΓ².
It not only reduces the risk of virus and Trojan invasion, but also generates huge platform revenue. Apple's IOS is a good example.

During the discussion, 360's article "Be wary of a penguin peeping into your privacy" has been logged in to the sparrow network through the official account of guΓ²360 sparrow, and '@' at the same time, the official account of sparrow, the official account of Jiulang and other 6 mainstream Internet media.
As soon as the article landed on Sparrow.com, more than 1,700 people reprinted it, more than 600 comments, and more than 27,000 views......
An hour later, the number of jΓΉ swelled to an astonishing extent, the total number of reads increased nearly 50 times, the total number of retweets exceeded 40,000, and the number of comments on the whole network exceeded 10,000.
At 11 o'clock at noon, this article has been ranked fifth on the [Hot Information List] of Sparrow.com, and at the same time ranked third on the Baidu hot search list.
Sparrow's retweets and comments on the whole network have exceeded 200,000 times, and the total number of readings is close to the 10 million mark.
In addition, four marketing companies and netizens publish and reprint relevant news posts on various small stations and forums, basically achieving no dead end coverage on the whole network.
The heated discussion on the whole network naturally also stimulated the attention of Internet news portals such as Jiulang, Huang Yi, and Sohu.
When the 'stomach pain war' broke out, these Internet companies were allies of the WeChat camp. So when you see a message, you can forward it if you can. Related headlines are on the line.
When the old wave news was written. also brought the 'Super Opening Ringtone Incident' that caused a lot of uproar a few days ago into the article.
said: "Penguins are maliciously hyping up the 'Big White Bell'. I must not have thought about some of my own actions. β
Seeing this, some people in the industry also began to wake up: 'It turns out that the stomach pain war is not over yet'......', so they have published comment articles on Sparrow to ridicule.
During the lunch break, there were 5 million pieces of information about 'penguin voyeur users' on Sparrow's website.
And these numbers are just flashes after the 'nuclear bomb is detonated'. When the flash fades, it will be a huge 'hot wave' and 'public opinion shock wave'!
But this alone has caused a lot of anxiety and anger within the penguins.

Penguin Inc.
In the conference room of the headquarters, Ma Huating sat in the chairman's seat. His face was blue for a while, and the executives around him were no better.
Executive Vice President Li Qing pondered: "I think this matter must be jointly done by Xinghuo and 360." Shan Zhou Hongwei alone can't afford such a big public opinion. And there are quite a few trolls in it. β
"Starfire now has its own sparrow net, and it's so convenient to attack whoever it wants."
"Hmm!" Zhang Dong, technical director of Penguin, nodded and said: "It must be inseparable from Xinghuo." Last time, we put him on the 'Super Opening Ringtone', this time it should be regarded as Zhang Fan's revenge......"
"I just didn't expect him to move so fast."
"I don't think it's because he's fast, he should have thought about using this trick to deal with us a long time ago."
Qian Guang, the manager of the technical department, held the water cup and said: "Mr. Zhang, think about it, there is a 'privacy protector' product mentioned in the 360 article, which is obviously developed for our penguin chat. Developing a piece of software doesn't take three to five days. β
"I think they have been preparing for at least three months, maybe they have already figured out how to deal with us before we have a lawsuit with WeChat."
"Hmm......" The executives around nodded their heads.
Chief Administrative Officer Dandan Zhao. looked at the boss who was speechless and said, "Mr. Ma, are we going to make a proper clarification now?" β
"360 and Starfire play like this. The skin has been torn apart, and we don't have to save any face for them. And the problem he accuses of 360 does not exist at all! β
"We think so, but netizens may not think so."
Ma Huating dissipated his thoughts and looked at everyone: "Zhou Hongwei's product plan, as Xiao Guang said, is probably developed for us. β
"There is suspicion of cooperation on the Xinghuo side, but they should not be the 'masterminds'."
"What do you guys have to say? If this matter is not handled properly, it may not only cause a little loss of reputation to us in the future, but may also cause irreparable danger. β
"One Zhou Hongwei is not terrible, what is terrible is to add another Zhang Fan and Sparrow."
"With the support of Sparrow, it is equivalent to equipping the hunter 360 with a shotgun, and Zhang Fan laying out a trap behind him. We're really defenseless penguins now. β
"Don't forget, they also have a panda to chat with. If they had launched Panda Chat for PC at our weakest point, what would you think the outcome would be? β
Hearing the words 'PC version of Panda ......', a chill rose in the hearts of the executives all around.
β¦β¦
Executive Vice President Li Qing frowned and said: "If Zhang Fan presents the launch of the 'Panda Chat Computer Terminal', our Penguin Chat will definitely be impacted!" Tens of millions of users could be lost......"
"Yes...... They couldn't have developed Xinghuo so quickly, right? β
Ma Huating smiled after hearing this: "Zhang Fan can create a big white in half a year, set up a sparrow network in half a year, and create two festivals in 8 months...... What else is impossible? β
"We penguins have not had our own 'Penguin Cultural Festival' since we were founded."
The ears of the surrounding executives were hot, and Ma Huating said: "The top priority is not to talk about others first, let's prepare for the battle first." β
"360 If you accuse us, then we will follow him. Talk to Kingsoft and Rising in the past two days, and get ready for a free plan. β
"The first version of Penguin Butler will be taken out and launched first!"
"Li Qing, you arrange for someone to contact a lawyer and directly sue 360 in court. Xiao Guang, you take someone to study their security guards and find some unclean places. Dandan, you prepare for the summer product promotion, members, red diamonds...... The annual fee for these products is halved. β
"Let's start preparing for the rest of the world. Before 5 p.m., clarify the reason for the scan. Li Qi, you can help me contact Baidu, Jinshan ......"
"Okay boss." Assistant Li Qi nodded immediately.
