The weather is getting colder day by day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Unknowingly, it has reached the tail end of the last month of 2000.

On the morning of the 21st, Zhong Zhe came back from running and said hello to Lu Manman, who was reciting English on the other side of the rooftop, "Morning." ”

"Early." Lu Manman also waved at him.

Back in the house, after changing clothes, he took a pot and began to cook rice balls, today is the winter solstice, in their hometown, today is called "Winter Festival", according to their family tradition, to eat rice balls in winter.

In the past, when he was a child, every year on this morning, his grandmother would give each person a bowl of rice balls and say to them, "If you eat rice balls, you will grow up a year old." ”

For a while, he was very confused, he was one year older in the Winter Festival, one year older on New Year's Day, and one year older in the Spring Festival, how old would he be in a year?

Later, when I went to middle school and read some books, I learned that the winter solstice was a very important festival in ancient times, and it is said that in the Zhou Qin Dynasty, the winter solstice was the first day of the new year, which is equivalent to the current Spring Festival.

Even if it is no longer used as the Spring Festival, there is still a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year".

In modern times, after the Gregorian calendar began to be used, some festivals in the old calendar have not become legal holidays, and many traditional celebrations have gradually disappeared, and now many places do not have the habit of celebrating the winter solstice.

He boiled a big pot of rice balls, took them to the Internet café on the second floor, called all the employees over, and said, "Today is the winter solstice, according to our custom over there, we have to eat rice balls in the morning, and everyone will come to eat a little, there are peanut filling, sesame filling, bean paste, and taro." ”

He called down all the people in the office on the third floor, and a large group of people gathered around the cash register to eat together. In such a cold weather, eating a bowl of steaming rice balls is just right to ward off the cold.

"Old Zhong, bring me a bowl too."

Zhong Zhe just ate a few bites, someone behind him patted him, turned his head, saw that it was Zhang Jinghua, and said to the cashier in charge of serving the rice balls, "Bring another bowl." He turned his head and asked Zhang Jinghua again, "Why is it so early?" ”

"I came here all night last night, and Lao Zhuang and they are also there." Zhang Jinghua said.

Zhong Zhe said to the cashier again, "Four more bowls." ”

After the five people in his dormitory finished eating the rice balls, they went back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep. Zhong Zhe asked a few people in the Internet café to pack up their things, and he went to the third floor with Zhou Sheng.

"After the system of the Internet café was updated, it worked well, and there have been no bugs so far, so I think it's time to launch it on the market." Zhou Shengtong said as he walked.

Zhong Zhe said, "Be cautious and launch it after New Year's Day." ”

What they are talking about is the Internet café system platform planned by Zhong Zhe, which was completed half a month ahead of schedule with Zhou Shengtong's efforts. The first to install the Zhixing Internet Café to test the function and stability of this software.

Judging from the current review, users like the new interface, and after simply classifying the software in the computer, it is more intuitive and convenient to find which software.

Zhou Shengtong asked him, "How do you plan to promote the software?" ”

At this time, the office arrived.

"Let's have a meeting and talk about this."

Zhong Zhe called Li Xue and four regular employees over, seven people, who are the team of Zhixing Network.

"Our company finally has its own fist product, Zhixing Internet café system, now, let's discuss, how to promote our software, who will come first?"

After a while, when he saw that no one spoke, he was about to call names, so he asked Li Xue to raise his hand and said, "Manager Li, you say." ”

Li Xue organized the language and said, "Our cooperation model with Future Computer Company is very good, and we can reach such cooperation with other computer companies." ”

Zhong Zhe picked up the pen and quickly jotted it down, "Is there anything else?" ”

Li Xue said, "You can also contact other chain Internet cafes." I'll think of these two for now. ”

Zhong Zhe took the name, "Wrinkle wins." ”

Fu Sheng is from the same department as him, and he is considered a senior brother, but when he arrives in the company, he is a subordinate, "I think, we can advertise on several portals or Baidu." ”

Zhong Zhe shook his head and said, "Our potential customers are people who run Internet cafes, and advertising in these places is not very effective. Then he named two more people, none of whom came up with a very reliable idea.

It wasn't until the fourth employee that he was pleasantly surprised, "I think we can give the software to the people of the piracy group, anyway, our software is free, it is better to use their channels to help us promote it." ”

"Kang Zhihao, that's a good idea."

Zhong Zhe praised it, and finally asked Zhou Shengtong, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Shengtong was a little uncomfortable with this kind of occasion, and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Okay."

Zhong Zhe said, "Our company's funds are limited, and there are two plans to promote, one is to talk about cooperation with computer companies, as for how to talk, it depends on the four of you." After New Year's Day, you will run all over the country, and as for which places you want to run, I will arrange for you at that time. ”

Although the four young people were surprised, they were even more excited, and before recruiting them, they had asked them if they were willing to go on a business trip, and they had already been mentally prepared.

"The second is to borrow the channels of piracy groups. Mr. Zhou is relatively familiar with this piece. ”

Li Xue raised her hand at this time, "I have a problem, the software like the Internet café billing system is not used by ordinary people, I'm afraid the piracy group is not willing to do it." ”

Zhong Zhe explained, "This software will be promoted in the name of software that installs the system with one click, but it actually includes the Internet café billing system and the entire Internet café platform." Users can choose to install or not install by checking the box. ”

Every computer needs to be equipped with a system, and the demand for such software is naturally very large. Through piracy syndicates, I am afraid that it will not be long before they can be sold to every corner of the country.

Li Xue added, "There is another problem, others have installed our system through piracy, we have no way to obtain user information, and it seems that it is useless for the company, right?" ”

Zhong Zhe said, "For this, I have already had a way to deal with it, as long as we have not installed our system platform software through formal channels, after two months of use, a message will automatically pop up, allowing them to log in to our website to apply for a genuine key." If you don't apply, you won't get follow-up technical support. As long as the declaration is free, I believe most people will apply. ”

How do you maintain control over the users who use their software? He adopted the practice of most IT companies in the future, which is to upgrade online. If you upgrade every once in a while, you will not be able to enjoy some services if you do not upgrade.

With the trick of upgrading the version, you can master the software installation of the Internet café. If you don't have this trick, how can you install the new software into the computer of the Internet café in the future?

Therefore, in order to ensure that every user will update the version on time, he has used a lot of tricks.
