The Israeli company that originally developed the network communication software ICQ was acquired by American Online (AOL) as early as 98.

"Okay, let's go check it out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhang Ke saw that it was still early, so he didn't delay the time in 1978, and followed Du Fei and them to the software laboratory of Dongda Chuangyu in the car. The competition in the consumer electronics industry, the difference in hardware technology will gradually narrow, and eventually it will evolve into a situation where content is king, Kumho is difficult to overcome in the development of content in the European and American markets, and also has the advantage of leading overseas electronics companies in the domestic market - of course, Kumho will face the monopoly pressure of mobile and Unicom to expand the content supply in China - now the domestic Internet users have just exceeded 20 million, at this time the domestic Internet industry has hit the bottom, It just means that more companies have a new starting point, and in the face of a broader market, the advantages accumulated in the early stage are nothing.

Zhang Ke felt that it was appropriate to change the name of MICQ to MQ at this time and officially release a new version, which was better than delaying a lawsuit for another three or four years; Tencent's QICQ messaging software is also destined to be renamed QQ.

Even though it was nine o'clock in the night, the software laboratory of Dongda Chuangyu was still brightly lit, Shi Xinfei and others still insisted on the R&D position, Xie Zijia was also there, she saw Zhang Ke running over, her eyebrows raised, but after seeing Sun Jingmeng and Chen Feirong who followed Zhang Ke in, her mouth was deflated, she didn't speak, and continued to discuss the development plan with the R&D personnel, and she didn't pay attention to Zhang Ke's meaning.

Zhang Ke knew that Xie Zijia's aunt and grandmother had a big temper, and her talent was shown in the development of the new version of MQ, and he had seen the new version of the MQ software development proposal written by Sun Jingmeng and the development team.

Du Fei beckoned Shi Xinfei, Xie Zijia and others to the conference room and demonstrated the new version of MQ software to Zhang Ke on the projector.

"We plan to launch a new version before the end of the summer, and through this revision, some user resources in the business fields such as e-commerce, game platforms, forums, and e-mail will gradually be concentrated on MQ, forming a situation where Tencent QICQ and Microsoft MSN compete with each other in the Chinese instant messaging market......," Du Fei explained Dongda Chuangyu's goal in the instant messaging market in the near future, "MQ software can also be integrated in GPRS mobile phones, We plan to discuss this value-added service with China Mobile Donghai in the near future. ”

"How much financial support can Kumho provide to Dongda Chuangyu in the near future?" Xie Zijia asked.

Du Fei and Meng Le both smiled, and they couldn't tell Xie Zijia that Kumho planned to import $800 million in funds to Dongda within five years, they still thought that Kumho and Kewang Hi-Tech had a clear line, Xie Zijia represented Kewang Hi-Tech as the equity director of Dongda Chuangyu and participated in the daily development and management work, but Xie Zijia was a person from Kewang Hi-Tech after all, and he was a son of the Xie family. A few years ago, the conflict between Kumho and the Xie family was not small.

Zhang Ke puffed out his cheeks and said, "It depends on how big the pot you set up......

"The basic Internet services that we can count now are basically free - affected by the Internet bubble bursting crisis, the Internet industry is falling into a low ebb step by step, and the Internet is beginning to have a headache for profitability, and will reflect on the free policy and hesitate. At this time, if Dongda Chuangyu can put up the banner of free with greater momentum, it will be able to win more opportunities in building user advantages...... "Xie Zijia said, "If possible, the software laboratory of Dongda Chuangyu should expand its scale and launch more free services in anti-virus, input method, etc." On the one hand, we need to avoid making MQ software too bloated, and on the other hand, we need more, more comprehensive, and more stable free services to compete for and expand user advantages. ”

In order to win more user advantages and erect the banner of free with greater momentum, solid capital is needed to support it.

Xie Zijia knows Kumho's capital strength, but also knows that Kumho has to spend a lot of money, Kumho's efforts to acquire Hyundai Semiconductor's LCD business has been a big news in the industry, and now Japanese and South Korean electronics companies are investing in TFT LCD in billions of dollars, Kumho will continue to invest in Hyundai Semiconductor's LCD business. However, the financial support needed by Dongda Chuangyu is not how much money to come up with at once, and the key lies in Kumho's attention to this part of the market. If Kumho does not attach much importance to the market of Kumho, then the capital support for Dongda will naturally be limited.

Zhang Ke thought for a while and said: "Although the number of Internet users in China is only 20 million, and the value that the entire market can create is far less than that of the Internet market with the same user scale in Europe and the United States, we must see that almost every new generation that grows up in the future may become Internet users, and China's economy will continue to grow, and the consumption potential of the Internet market will continue to increase...... Maybe it will take a little longer, but we have enough patience, don't we? ”

Zhang Ke will discuss many things with Chen Jing before making a decision, so he is not afraid to let Xie Zijia know some things, but he wants to keep the posture that Kumho is Kumho and Kewang Hi-Tech is Kewang Hi-Tech in front of others, and further discussion will be carried out after Xie Zijia leaves.

Zhang Ke said to Du Fei: "Xie Zijia's thinking is correct, competing for user advantages is the focus of your work at this stage, in fact, the capital investment in Dongda Chuangyu is not large compared to Kumho as a whole, and other places are crowded out, and this side is indispensable." ”

Qin Gang sat together and thought in his heart, two or three hundred million yuan per year on the part of Dongda Chuangyu is enough to meet the needs of three businesses, and it is also enough for Dongda Chuangyu to have a first-class software laboratory in China; The annual investment of two or three hundred million yuan is really nothing compared to Kumho's investment in other places.

Only the industry has great prospects, even if the temporary continuous loss is nothing, Samsung Electronics has been losing money in the LCD industry for seven years, and has become the world's largest supplier of LCD panels in one fell swoop.

Coming out of the Dongda Chuangyu Software Laboratory at night, Du Fei asked Qin Gang about looking for a house, and Zhang Ke knew that Qin Gang had a headache for his parents-in-law to settle in Jianye without a spare room, he said: "There is still a house, the two apartment buildings at the east gate of the school have been vacant for three years, there is no need to continue to be vacant, Lao Qin can choose a ......"

"......" Qin Gang was a little surprised, the youth apartment has a total of twelve buildings, and the two buildings near the east gate of Dongda are separated into a closed unit, Zhang Ke lives on the top floor of the building next to the east gate, and there are some people close to Zhang Ke who have rooms in that building. One is for safety reasons, and the other is to ensure the privacy of Zhang Ke's personal life, another building in the same unit is always vacant, Qin Gang does not think that his relationship with Zhang Ke is close enough to officially settle in, and thinks: Zhang Ke took the initiative to propose, doesn't it mean that he wants to leave there and buy another residence in Jianye?

"I'm going to graduate from Tokyo University in one year, although I've been fooling around for the past three years......" Zhang Ke smiled self-deprecatingly, he knew why he wanted to enter Tokyo University and choose to live there, or was it just for that indescribable expectation? People always have to make up their minds, and said to Qin Gang, "There are still a large number of empty rooms in those two buildings, and now the apartments are very scarce, I can't just try to make it convenient for myself - not just for you, I will also let the administrative department rearrange it, since I told you first, you can choose first." ”

"Then you're welcome," Meng Le interjected, "I'll have to let Ruolin pick it out quickly." ”

Meng Le and Xi Ruolin only returned to Jianye in the summer, and they didn't have a place to live yet, so they temporarily squeezed the villa in Yanyuan with Du Fei, and when they heard Zhang Ke's ban here, they naturally didn't forget to get a set of things first. In the high-rise apartment building, there are only a few large duplex apartments in it, and you really can't get it if you move slowly.

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "I know that you are staring at the apartment on the top floor, and you can get a ......set of gifts for you and Senior Sister Xi as a wedding gift."

Qin Gang didn't expect Zhang Ke to give him a duplex apartment, and it was a great thing to be able to move in. Qin Gang came home at night and told his wife, his wife didn't sleep well in the second half of the night, and Qin Gang woke up from his sleep in the dark, and told him which apartment to take, how to arrange the apartment, and Qin Gang quickly told the administrative department to say yes. Now there are many employees in Kumho who are building houses in Ye, and Qin Gang can't be counted as a heavyweight person, so if he moves slowly, maybe the house will be snatched away by others.

Qin Gang was going to Xinwu with Zhang Ke and Sun Jingmeng at dawn, but he couldn't get out, ignored his wife, and asked his wife to go directly to the Oak Park Administrative Office.

Jianye is unbearably hot, even if the sun is sunny in Xinwu, the temperature at noon is only 312 degrees, and it is even cooler on Tianyun Mountain, and you even have to wear a long-sleeved thick cotton shirt at night to not feel the coldness invade the body - the difference between the two places is less than 200 kilometers, and many people don't understand that the temperature difference between the two places will be so obvious.

Qin Gang is still the first time to see Zhang Ke's father Zhang Zhixing, compared to Zhang Ke's subtlety, Zhang Zhixing has a greater reputation in the province, in addition to his outstanding achievements over the years to be widely praised, his promotion is also talked about. In just six years, he was promoted from deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee to mayor, which is also a rare success.

The first time he was a guest at Zhang Ke's home in Xinwu, Qin Gang was a little restrained, and he couldn't let go, that was normal, he thought that the relationship between the Sun family and the Zhang family should be very close, but he didn't expect that Sun Jingmeng, who is usually chivalrous and straight, couldn't let go in front of Zhang Zhixing and Liang Gezhen, but Chen Feirong had a close relationship with Liang Gezhen, and there was nothing to do with each other, which made Qin Gang doubt in his heart.

They went to Xinwu this time to discuss the investment of the film and television city, and they were accompanied by Xue Shi, a vice president of the Century Kumho Real Estate Group.

Xue Shi's father is Xue Guohua, director of the Institute of Ancient Architecture under the Haizhou Garden and Cultural Relics Bureau, and he is also responsible for the repair of other buildings in Danjing Lane and Shatian East; Now he wants to invest in the construction of a film and television city in Xinwu, and he is an expert in architectural construction planning and design.
