Chapter Seventy-Six: People are invincible when they practice

The last user experience requirement mentioned by Gu Mojie at the regular project meeting, neither the programmers present nor the marketing personnel realized the importance of this point.

In the Internet software market in 04 years, it seems that all peers believe that after the software upgrade, it is natural for customers to find a place to download a complete version of the new version of the software.

FOR EXAMPLE, SO MANY RESOURCE STATIONS THAT "REQUIRE FLASHGET TO DOWNLOAD" WILL NOT EVEN BOTHER TO REMIND CUSTOMERS TO PATCH WHEN THEY DETECT THAT THE FLASHGET VERSION INSTALLED ON THE USER'S COMPUTER IS TOO LOW, AND WILL SIMPLY AND RUDELY ASK THE USER TO DIRECTLY RECREATE A FLASHGET.

Slightly better, it's nothing more than asking customers to manually download the patch package and then manually click install the patch package. This patch package does not automatically identify the download path of the original software on the user's computer, but instead requires the user to manually click to select the path.

In a word, in the Internet market in 04, it seems that everyone thinks that "users should at least be professionals, and they must understand computers". The convenient experience of "one-click installation" and "one-click patching" seems to have been realized in the past.

Others don't do it, but Gu Mojie has to do it. Although Gu Mojie has lost the memory of later generations, the golden rule of "providing users with more convenient operations and a more foolish user experience" has been refined and imprinted in his brain, and he has never forgotten it in his two lives. It's just that now, when he was forced by the environment and had to let "Hatsune Computer Manager" go online in advance, Gu Mojie proposed it by chance.

Since it is too late to make a tall and complete software in the first time, it is better to make a short and refined thing, and leave enough room for convenient upgrades.

It wasn't until many years later that "Hatsune Computer Manager" realized the characteristics of "one-click installation" and "one-click automatic upgrade" for the first time in the domestic software market, and it is still talked about by history textbooks.

After changing the project task, Gu Mojie threw off 500,000 yuan in the company for the project expedited bonus. For those programmers who are about to be forced to write code for 15~18 hours a day for more than half a month, each person will be sent an additional 10,000 or 20,000. Then he drifted away and waited to see the results.

Lu Wenjun, who was in charge of testing and checking the quality of the software, was also helplessly used by Gu Mojie as a mule. There is no sense of pity and pity.

……

Gu Mojie is anxious for "Hatsune Computer Manager" to catch up with the window period of the explosive growth of "Hatsune Input Method" and get an opportunity to bundle downloads.

In the Shenzhen market, Shi Guanghu is also rushing to catch the window period before the complete collapse of the universal input method, and try his best to cash out this input method.

In the past two months, the number of users has not increased but declined. It also dropped 10 million people in one go. Such a software has no point in continuing to operate, and before it ushered in the moment of taking off and making money, it was knocked back to the bottom before dawn. A breath of true qi is broken, and what follows is the end of a lifetime of wasted work.

These days. Shi Guanghu's whole person is not good. The financial support from the rich dad was also cut off.

His father is still a sensible person, and he knows that there is no point in burning money in the universal input method; What's more, now even the top domestic giant、Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu has provoked the circle of input methods。 Looking ahead, the historian can't compare to Gu Mojie's technique; Looking ahead, the historian can't compare to Zhang Chaoyang's financial strength, in this case, it is not as good as Shanren's good fortune.

The rich father asked Shi Guanghu to think of a way to sell the corpse of the universal input method at a good price, and how much money can be returned.

Shi Guanghu, like a gray grandson, went to his father with a stumbling face to admit his mistakes, and begged his father to show him a way out.

Shi Daddy Shi breeds pigs and hates iron not into steel. He smoked two cigars and said:

"This year, I plan to start another company and make online games. The era of legends and miracles has passed, and this year, the international boss Blizzard will bring World of Warcraft into China, so let's bet on a 3D MMORPG and follow the trend. I'm going to make an online game called "Conquering the Land", but the company will try the water with some gadgets first and gather some players.

Your input method is useless anyway, no matter what means you use. Whether it's a bundle download or a rogue recommendation. Take your remaining 30 or 40 million input method users, seduce so many percent of people, and successfully convert them into gamers on the land network, even if you have great merit. The signboard of Swift Network Technology. Just treat it as waste utilization, do all the dirty work with that signboard, and don't bring the bad reputation of shamelessness to the land acquisition network. ”

Shi Guanghu knew that his father was teaching him to use waste, so he agreed one by one, and didn't dare to say a word. At the end, I remembered a question:

"That'...... The signboard of Swift Network Technology stinks. In the future, this shell will not be usable. What about Zou Sheng's people? ”

Shi Yuzhu frowned, he didn't pay attention to who had been in the small company that his son had invested in: "Zou Sheng? What is it? ”

Shi Guanghu hurriedly explained, saying that it was the original founder team of this company before he invested in Swift Network Technology.

Shi Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "The founder team?" What did they originally do before you invested in them? ”

Shi Guanghu accompanied him and explained carefully: "It's a download tool, but I haven't made any reputation." So last year I took over and twisted their direction and changed to a smart input method. ”

As soon as he heard this conclusion, Shi Yuzhu's last trace of pity was gone:

"Do you download a tool? That's also an uninformed guy, not to be sorry - who doesn't know that Internet Express has taken over the mainstream market of domestic breakpoint connection downloads? This kind of field is so fierce, he still wants to rush in, what kind of person can it be? You give him two or three million investments, and if you split it out, it will be regarded as severance pay, and you can buy his team to fend for itself, that is. ”

Unbeknownst to Zou Sheng, he was in a conversation that he was not qualified to participate in, and he had been positioned as a target to unload the mill and kill the donkey. A team of founders who are rushed by the tide of investors is sometimes so miserable.

……

Shi Guanghu, who lost the money, did not dare to disobey his father's intentions, and turned around and began to arrange the scraping of the ground within Swift Network Technology.

He called Zou Sheng and ordered in an expressionless tone: "From tomorrow, add an upgrade patch to the universal input method, and then bundle a game box in the download package of all new download users." All users who use the universal input method find a way to plug the pop-up window and direct the users to a company website called the land acquisition network, which is about to open. Also,Squeeze out all the remaining advertising value of our input method,Pile it on top of that。 ”

Zou Sheng only felt a thunderbolt fall from the sky.

"Shi Dong, what are you...... Not going to ask for a universal input method? ”

"You don't care, just go ahead and execute it."

"Shi Dong, the input method is your money, and I can't interfere. But after the input method is smashed, do you think about the next new development direction of the company? The cash-out stop-loss method you are thinking of now will cause a lot of damage to the company's goodwill! ”

To be honest, the universal input method was not what Zou Sheng wanted to do. Now that it's finally messed up, Shi Guanghu doesn't seem to have any tendency to lose his temper with him for this matter, and Zou Sheng doesn't bother to provoke the other party, but hopes that Shi Guanghu won't be too impulsive in the next step, and then choose a direction that is not down-to-earth enough.

Shi Guanghu was finally impatient with Zou Sheng's chatter, and decided to make it clear at once.

"This problem has nothing to do with you anymore, two months later, the signboard of Swift Network Technology will be reorganized - I will leave you two million, which is severance pay, and you can take your team to play by yourself." You have to continue to carry this dirty signboard, and it's up to you to just play with it. ”

"You! Are you planning to divest and start anew? ”

Zou Shenghao was so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he couldn't care about Shi Guang's jealousy of Shi Guang at the moment, and he didn't care about the etiquette of speaking. pointed directly at Shi Guanghu and argued:

"Shi Guanghu, you can't be so treacherous! When you came in, you said that you would support us for at least three years before I accepted your investment and dared to choose those projects with long cycles and slow results! You're actually playing this hand with me now? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by insiders? Aren't you afraid that in the future, the backbone of the founder team will no longer accept your Shijia's investment? ”

Shi Guanghu smiled coldly, he didn't have any other skills, if he wanted to be shameless, it was a family heirloom skill that he was familiar with. Zou Sheng's lethality of Cheng dù's words is not in his eyes.

"What? Can you still bite me? I'm a person, how can I be afraid of losing face? "I don't accept gifts during the holidays this year, and I only receive brain platinum for gifts", my dad dares to do it, and I'm afraid that you will say bad things about me in the circle as an outdated LOSER? I don't think you're in your right mind.

The young master will teach you a truth today: being scolded is also the click-through rate, and the click-through is GDP. To be able to be scolded by others is also to be concerned. There will be no shortage of meat for scolding, if there are 10,000 people who scold me for a consumer, then the master will also earn - you stupid person who can't get down with a reputation, what should you do? ”

10,000 likes, zero steps; In the Internet era, it is better to have 10,000 likes and 100,000 steps. Anyway, being trampled on and slapped with bricks is useless. Internet giants, in the primitive accumulation stage, which is not based on the popularity of committing crimes. How can a person like the father and son of the historian who knows the true essence of Internet values be stingy with their false reputation.

Zou Sheng was trembling with anger, and he almost dug out a pair of tricks for himself: he was really blind and blinded by lard back then, how could he accept the investment of this shameless thing?

It's good now,Not only is the business of the input method out of tune,Even the breakpoint download tool that I always wanted to do,It's also abandoned。

Two million, to appease and dismiss the brothers under him, I'm afraid it's not enough. (To be continued.) )
