On Friday night, Lin Hong was chatting with Phyllis online in his room. The software they use www.biquge.info is the "cqcq" written by Lin Hong, and the current version has reached the version, and the basic functions of the server and the client have been initially realized.

Lin Hong ran the server side on the official server of the SAM Association, because the IP was fixed, and after logging in, the client and the server directly sent a signal to indicate that he was online.

At the same time, it will also send advisory commands like a server to ask the server for users who are currently online.

Originally, the IRC protocol was designed according to the prototype of the chat room, and everyone had to go to a designated "channel" to be able to send messages to it.

But at present, Lin Hong wrote the cqcq software, the only people who use it temporarily are him and Phyllis, every time after logging in to the software, it seems more troublesome to add a channel, he simply omitted this step for the time being, and after each login, he entered a public channel by default, and could send messages directly to this public channel.

Phyllis: The application for the infrared protocol patent has been successfully filed, and the patent acceptance notice has also come down, and it is in my hands. Tomorrow you're going to New York.

Stone: There's been a lot of going on lately, and I may not have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so let's let you go first.

Phyllis: But you still have to come here, the patent negotiations with AT&T are almost underway, and if nothing else, the contract can be signed the day after tomorrow.

Seeing this, Lin Hong couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Stone: So fast?

Phyllis: No, the other party has been urging several times, if you hadn't been out of time, you would have gotten the money a long time ago. Why don't you ask, why don't you ask how much it was sold?

Stone: I'm relieved of you. Since you, a business genius, are out of the way, there will definitely be no less.

Phyllis: $7.8 million!

Lin Hong looked at this number and was stunned for a moment.

Phyllis: Why don't you speak? I've done my best, you won't blame me for selling less, will you?

Stone: No, it's more than two million. I couldn't believe it for a moment. What is the current exchange rate of the US dollar against the Chinese yuan?

Phyllis: Scared me, I thought you thought I was selling cheaply. The current exchange rate is 1:. Convert to RMB 10,000! Congratulations on becoming a multimillionaire in China!

Lin Hong's body couldn't help but shake when he saw this number. Almost fell out of his chair.

He rubbed his eyes, convinced that he hadn't seen the flowers.

There are more than 40 million of them!

You can't be mistaken, right?

Stone: Are you sure? The last time I saw it in a magazine, it was left and right.

Lin Hong has always thought that one dollar is equivalent to about three dollars. This is what he had seen earlier in a financial magazine. Before coming to the United States. He didn't go to the bank to exchange foreign currency at all, and his mother prepared it for him.

Phyllis: Are you kidding? The magazine you read was two years ago, the exchange rate two years ago was, and now it is, and according to my judgment, the RMB will continue to depreciate, I suggest you do not convert, continue to hold the dollar, and ensure that your assets appreciate!

Listen to what Phyllis said. Lin Hong then remembered that the magazine he was reading seemed to be really the same as before, and the exchange rate would change at any time.

So, is that true?

I'm about to have more than 40 million RMB?!

Lin Hong had a feeling as if he was dreaming, although his memory of dreaming was already very vague.

Lin Hong had some psychological preparation, but seeing this number this time still made him feel a feeling of accelerated breathing and rising blood pressure.

There is excitement, nervousness, and anticipation.

This kind of feeling has rarely appeared since he broke through to the dark energy level. I used to go to the prom crazy, but I was just more excited and indulgent, and I didn't feel as nervous and overwhelmed as I do now.

Lin Hong took several minutes to calm his mind.

Stone: So I'm going to New York the day after tomorrow, when will the signing start?

Phyllis: It should be around two o'clock in the afternoon. In this way, I will send someone to pick you up, and it is not convenient for you to come alone.

Stone: Alright then, thanks!

Phyllis: Uncle Stone, you're still polite to me! Aren't you Chinese particular about the more familiar people are, the more polite they are?

Stone: uh...... Now we're starting to be polite.

After chatting for a while, Phyllis began to give Lin Hong some suggestions for improving the software.

Phyllis has no knowledge of software technology, but she always looks at it from a user's point of view.

For example, in the previous channel, she didn't know how to enter it at the beginning, so she finally omitted the channel step.

And today, she has another demand, and that is the file transfer function.

She wanted to be able to easily share files with Lin Hong, such as the text of the contract.

However, Lin Hong has not yet implemented this function, and the IRC protocol supports such a function.

According to Phyllis's idea, this sharing should be simple, not involving commands or anything, it should be displayed graphically, and the operation should be more vivid, and it is best to pass paper documents like we usually do, and people who don't understand technology can understand it at a glance.

Now that there is a demand, Lin Hong added this feature to the list of pending development.

Phyllis: By the way, I have a sister who once saw this app and she wanted to use it to chat with me.

Stone: Yes, you're very welcome!

Phyllis: But if she comes in, she can see what we're chatting about, right? You can also see what I chatted with her.

Stone: You can use a different channel.

Phyllis: How do you use it? That channel is so troublesome, you have to enter it manually every time, can you not use the channel?

Stone: I want to think about it.

Phyllis: Can you make it like a mobile phone? There's an address book in it, and when you want to contact someone, choose the other person's name, so that the two can establish a connection, regardless of the channel.

Lin Hong also figured it out when he saw this. The function that Phyllis wants is peer-to-peer contact, and she doesn't need a chat room group chat function.

At the beginning, Lin Hong wanted to make this software and went to the chat room software. Now because others are not very optimistic, only him and Phyllis use it.

As Phyllis had in mind. It's like a tool to connect with friends. It's like making a phone call.

Lin Hong thought about it for a while and felt that it was not bad to make such a function. It can even replace the function of a phone. It's just that the phone is voice communication, and this is text communication.

Stone: I'm going to modify the software tonight to add the features you mentioned, and tomorrow you can get your good sister to download and use it.

Phyllis: Do I have to download and install it again?

Stone: yes, no way, it's just a new software, of course you have to reinstall it.

Phyllis: It's too much of a hassle. That FTP is too difficult to operate, can you make it easier? You have an upgraded version, can't you just upgrade it? Why do you have to download updates every time?

Lin Hong couldn't help but smile when he saw her words. He knew that what Phyllis was most afraid of was tossing this and that. The last time I chatted with her, I learned that the radio station she used for the first time was someone else's, and then she met Lin Hong, and immediately asked the housekeeper to find someone to install it for her, and taught her how to use it, and it took several weeks to learn the basic operation.

Seeing her words, Lin Hong first felt funny, but then he couldn't help but reflect.

yes, why do you have to re-use FTP to download it every time? I can implement an automatic updater directly!

He realized that he had always been thinking from the perspective of a technician. In his opinion, using FTP to download a piece of software couldn't be easier, but for the average user like Phyllis, it's a nightmare. In the past few days, every time the software is upgraded, Lin Hong has to teach her how to do it step by step on the phone, and despite the phone support, it still takes a long time for her to successfully download the file every time.

Every time she taught Phyllis how to use FTP, he was also very uncomfortable. In his opinion, it was obviously a simple operation like a math problem like 1+1=2, and Phyllis couldn't understand it.

Lin Hong has deeply understood that there is a huge gap that cannot be bridged in the way technology users and non-technology users think about problems.

Thinking of the Windows operating system that Microsoft is now developing, Lin Hong also roughly understands that the computer operating system and software are gradually improving in the direction of simplicity and ease of use. This kind of thinking, in fact, is a kind of imitation of the natural world, connecting the concepts in the computer with some common things in life, so that the average user can be very easy to understand when they first come into contact with it.

According to the previously recorded requirements, Lin Hong began to redesign the functions and interface of "CQCQ".

He tries to imitate the basic functions of the phone. There are many people in the world who have mobile phones, but they don't necessarily call at the same time, and only the phone company knows who has a mobile phone, and those people are kept in their company's database.

In the same way, the CQCQ software installed on a computer is equivalent to a mobile phone, and how many people are online in the CQCQ software do not need to display everyone on the software, as long as it is saved in the database on the server side.

Every mobile phone corresponds to a number, so each CQCQ software also corresponds to a number, as long as you know this number, you can contact the other party, you can also add this number to the software, so that you can contact at any time in the future.

At the beginning, Lin Hong's CQCQ software was still designed after the previous IRC software, and tonight, inspired by Phyllis, he began to perform major surgery on this software, and there were some major changes in the structure.

In this way, one night passed, and the version of CQCQ software was finally born when the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon! To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
