In addition to mobile, there is also a company that has mapped the instant messaging market.

This company is called Giant Company, and its founder is called Shi Yuzhu.

Throughout the history of China's Internet, there may have been many Internet tycoons, but among them, the most legendary and controversial is probably Shi Yuzhu.

Around 1990, Shi Yuzhu began to enter the computer IT industry and developed the giant Hanka.

The so-called hanka is also a kind of hardware for processing Chinese characters.

Although Hanka is no longer of much use now, it is for early computers. The performance of the computer is very poor in all aspects, and the strict input of Chinese characters affects the speed of the computer. Hanka is a kind of hardware that solves the problem of Chinese character input. And Shi Yuzhu became the youngest millionaire with Hanka in his hand.

Then, Shi Yuzhu directly entered the pharmaceutical industry and launched the popular brain gold.

Shi Yuzhu relied on Hanka and brain gold, and his assets rose rapidly.

Maybe success came too easily, or maybe Shi Yuzhu was driven crazy by victory at that time.

After the success of the two major products, Shi Yuzhu boldly launched the Giant Building business, the tallest in China.

However, how did the young and frivolous Shi Yuzhu know.

Investing in real estate is like a bottomless pit, and the early hundreds of millions of yuan will soon be over.

In the end, Shi Yuzhu's company went bankrupt, and Shi Yuzhu also owed a huge amount of money.

However, if Shi Yuzhu ends like this, he will not be a legend on the Internet.

After the failure of the giant building, in 2000, Shi Yuzhu came out again and launched a brain platinum health supplement that shocked the whole of China.

That's right, it's the key product that doesn't accept gifts this year, and if you want to receive it, you will receive brain platinum.

As a result, Brain Platinum was an unprecedented success, and Shi Yuzhu made a comeback.

Only then, Shi Yuzhu established Giant Network again and launched the blackest online game "Journey" in history.

As a result, Journey was equally successful, and, a few years later, Giant Network was successfully listed on the NASDAQ in the United States.

Of course, the current Shi Yuzhu has not yet launched the journey, but after the promotion of brain platinum in 2000, Shi Yuzhu has accumulated strong capital. This time, Shi Yuzhu returned to the IT industry and targeted the Internet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ten years have passed, and we have returned to IT."

Sitting at the company meeting, Shi Yuzhu said to his old subordinates who had followed him for nearly 10 years.

"Mr. Shi, we are very emotional when we think about it."

"Yes, Mr. Shi. However, there are some messy media that still think that our giant network is a newcomer. Who knows that we've been doing it for 10 years. ”

An old subordinate said in the meeting from time to time.

"Don't care about these media, now that we have a meeting, we have to study the future direction of our giant network."

Shi Yuzhu took a sip of tea.

Although the medicine part, Shi Yuzhu is also very profitable.

It's just that what Shi Yuzhu wants to do the most, that is, IT. Moreover, the first business he started that year was also IT.

Moreover, two medicines were previously made. Although he made a lot of money, he also left a lot of infamy.

This made Shi Yuzhu quite unhappy, and in the end, after making money, he directly sold the brain platinum.

This time, Shi Yuzhu once again returned to the IT industry.

"What do we plan to do in the future, what good projects are there to do in the market now."

Shi Yuzhu opened his mouth and asked everyone present.

"Mr. Shi, making games, the most profitable thing in China now is online games. Moreover, now that the media has rated online games as one of the top 10 profiteering industries, I think this area is very promising. ”

Qian Dahai, an old subordinate who has been following Shi Yuzhu, was the first to say.

"Online games?"

"Yes, we can only do online games in China."

"It's just that we don't have a team to do this aspect of the game."

"Mr. Shi, we don't have it, but other game companies do, as long as we can afford to pay for it, we can definitely poach their game team. As long as they do the game well, we have no problem running it at all. ”

Qian Dahai has followed Shi Yuzhu for many years, although he has never done online games before, nor has he operated online games.

However, they are masters of operations.

In their eyes, whether it is medicine or the Internet, in fact, their operation is the same.

They are also confident that if they give themselves a game, they can promote it successfully.

And, regardless of the quality of your game.

"Hmm."

Shi Yuzhu nodded, "You can give it a try in the online game, are there any others?" ”

"Mr. Shi, I think we can also do instant messaging."

Qiu Liwei, another old subordinate of Shi Yuzhu, also stood up and said directly.

"Instant messaging?"

Everyone felt a little strange, "Manager Qiu, instant messaging can't be done, Penguin Technology is very strong." ”

"I know. It's just that don't you think that instant messaging is the most profitable? ”

This said, everyone was stunned.

Recently, Penguin Technology has launched profitable businesses one after another, and its performance has skyrocketed for a while.

With a profit of nearly 2 billion a month, even if it is an online game, it cannot be compared.

This came as a surprise to industry insiders who had previously thought that instant messaging could not make money.

At this time, Qiu Liwei said, and everyone found out. It turns out that instant messaging is more lucrative than online games.

"Manager Qiu, you're right. It's just instant messaging, which is really more competitive than other businesses. Moreover, the major instant messaging companies that competed with Penguin Technology before have all gone out of business, and we are afraid that we will ...... when we enter this area."

Qian Dahai retorted, "Moreover, it is said that the founder of Penguin is a genius. ”

"The sea, are you talking about Zhang Ning?"

Shi Yuzhu, who was sitting at the head, suddenly lit up his eyes.

"Yes."

Qian Dahai seems to know Zhang Ning very well, "Mr. Shi, this Zhang Ning is said to be only in his 20s. However, he is very experienced in the Internet area. At the beginning, it defeated Tencent with the later trend, and even forced Microsoft MSN to have no market. Although there are other game companies competing with us when we enter the game, the game market is huge. As long as you can make a fun game, other gamers will use it. ”

"The sea, you have a point."

Shi Yuzhu said so, but in his heart, he was very interested in instant messaging.

"First of all, we have to enter the online game part. The sea, you are in charge of the online game this piece. Especially in terms of gaming, I want you to help us find it in the shortest possible time. As for instant messaging, I'll think about it later. ”

The meeting was thus adjourned.

Shi Yuzhu returned to his office.

Landing on QQ, Shi Yuzhu looked at the QQ avatar that jumped from time to time.

This is Penguin's instant messenger.

Shi Yuzhu is the first batch of netizens in China, and naturally he will also use QQ.

"I didn't expect that this little thing, which no company wanted to do, would grow like this one day?"

Shi Yuzhu muttered to himself.

At that time, he knew that there were not many companies in China to do instant messaging. Only a few Tencent, MMOO, these are unknown companies. As for the slightly more famous NetEase Bubble, in fact, NetEase is not necessarily very interested in this bubble. It's just that I didn't expect that a few years later, QQ would become such an amazing software.

This is the equivalent of a mobile phone in disguise.

No, it's more important than your phone.

Not only can you communicate, but you can also play games, and you can also have fun.

Moreover, if you have been using this QQ for many years in the future, he is more important than mobile phones and the like.

The mobile phone can be changed every year, and even the mobile phone number can be changed, but the QQ number is really troublesome.

Just like Shi Yuzhu, it is impossible for him to change the QQ number now, he has too many acquaintances on it.

In this exchange, some of the original acquaintances have no business at all, which is too troublesome.

The most terrifying thing is that the profit of QQ in August really stimulated Shi Yuzhu.

2 billion a month.

Even if there is water in it, or if there is some inflated height, even if half of it is deducted, 1 billion a month is amazing enough.

This made Shi Yuzhu more interested in instant messaging again.

It's just that there have been previous failures, but Shi Yuzhu seems quite cautious this time.

He won't just throw himself into it because of a heartbeat.

The bloody lesson of the Giant Mansion back then is still fresh in his memory.

You have to think of a perfect way.

I have to say that Shi Yuzhu is also a genius, and even, in a certain way, he is a genius than many geniuses in the Internet industry.

At this time, Shi Yuzhu knew. If he directly enters the instant messaging market in this way, although with his understanding of computers, he knows that instant messaging is just a small software, and does not require too strong technology, and it is easy to find talents in hardware. However, if it is really operational, it is really difficult to deal with the current QQ.

was troubled, a netizen named Tian Shoufu on QQ sent a message to Shi Yuzhu.

This netizen named Tian Shoufu is a teacher at the computer center of Yenching University of Science and Technology, and Shi Yuzhu met Tian Shoufu when he was promoting Hanka.

"Mr. Shi, I suddenly had an idea recently."

"What thoughts?"

"I want to make a QQ helper."

"What QQ helper?"

"To put it simply, through this app, users don't need to buy a membership, they can check the IP of the other user, and check whether the other party is invisible. And I'm going to look into it again to see if I can remove the advertising business from their chat box as well......"

"Damn, you're a QQ plug-in."

Shi Yuzhu is also half a programmer, and as soon as he heard this auxiliary program, he knew that it was a QQ plug-in.

"Alas, it can't be said to be a plug-in, I just saw QQ Tai Nima pit other people's money, so I had this idea. Mr. Shi, are you interested? ”

"Not interested."

Shi Yuzhu is not despising others to develop plug-ins, but Shi Yuzhu's current level is impossible to do plug-ins.

After all, this kind of thing can only make a small profit, and there are risks. He's a man who wants to be an Internet tycoon, how can he do any cheating.

It's just that as soon as he typed the word "not interested", Shi Yuzhu suddenly thought of something, "Wait, when will your software be made?" ”

"I started doing it before, and after about a week, I was able to do it."

"Okay, in a week, you send me this software, and I'll look into it."

"No problem."
