Chapter 14 Safety Box
After sending Xia Ci to school, he hurriedly rushed back to Sun Yifeng's Internet café and continued to design security software.
This security software, Wang does not plan to call it "security box".
While writing the kernel, Wang Bubu considered adding ancillary functions to it. The most important thing is the boot ad.
Of course, it is impossible for Wang Bucheng to let users see what "greasy senior sister" as soon as they turn on the computer, which is smashing their own signboards. But it doesn't hurt to have a pop-up window at boot that lets the user know their "boot time", displays useful information like weather and dates, and finally uses a small space to promote the new game.
14 years later, several software with a large number of users have similar push functions. But the reason they dare to do so is because they have a large user base as a foundation.
Like PS with a sparse user base, it only dares to flash small icons in the lower right toolbar of the desktop, and does not dare to pop up windows. Expect users with obsessive-compulsive disorder to point out the pop-up window themselves.
36o Because of its high substitutability, the boot pop-up window only displays useful information. Occasionally pop up a window, boasting about being cute.
Compared with the above two software,QQ with the largest user base、The lowest replaceabilityQQ,It's much more unscrupulous,Not only will the news window pop up when you turn it on,And it will play again if it lasts for about ten hours,Even if the user is playing games or watching videos in full screen,It doesn't matter at all。
The promotion is the main purpose of Wang to design this security box, which will be the main means of publicity for the game. How to make it conspicuous enough and make users not disgusted with it requires careful consideration.
was repeatedly deleting and modifying, and Wang Buyi casually saw a man with eyes at the door of the Internet café, who was selling something to Sun Yifeng.
"Really, this set of Internet café management software was opened by our team for a whole winter, which is very scientific and reasonable. Boss Sun, why don't you take a look again? The man in glasses was almost pleading.
"I've spent money on a one-year software license in this Internet café, and now there is still half a year to go, so it's impossible to change it to yours halfway." Sun Yifeng seemed to be helpless, and waved his hand again and again to tell the man to leave.
Wang Bu was immediately interested.
The glasses man's face was flushed, not like he was often sold, and he panicked when he was rejected once. He almost pleaded: "Boss Sun, you see, now that the state has begun to propose a real-name system for the Internet, the Internet café management software that does not have an ID card entry system will be eliminated in the future." Our team saw this in mind, so we developed this software. Why don't you take a look? ”
"When the real name system is made on the Internet, you will come to me again." Sun Yifeng shook his head, doing business, making money like a drop of water, spending money like a flood. How can there be a reason to spend money when you hear a little rumor?
"Then when the time comes, Boss Sun must think of us first." The man with glasses hung his head and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Wang did not bear to speak.
"Great God! Did this guy make a noise with you? I'll kick him out right away! Sun Yifeng hurriedly said. Sun Yifeng has been completely obsessed with "Crazy Tide" recently, and he also admires the game's maker, Wang Buful. In order to let Wang Bubu work with peace of mind, no one in the Internet café is allowed to make a loud noise, otherwise he will be driven out immediately.
"It's fine." Wang did not live up to the smile, looked at the man with glasses, and asked, "You said you have a team?" How many people? ”
"There are four of us, and one of us in the dormitory didn't buy a ticket home for the New Year, so I used the winter vacation time to make this Internet café management software in the school computer room. It's really good. The man with glasses said.
It turned out that these four college students heard that the state was going to introduce a policy of real-name system for Internet cafes, and they planned to take the lead. But the gap between dreams and reality is too big, and they have touched the ashes and have not sold them so far.
"If it's convenient, can you show me how this software works?" Wang said.
"Okay!" The man with glasses had been hitting a wall, and when he heard that someone was finally interested, he hurriedly agreed.
When Wang Buyi saw the man with glasses, he suddenly realized that there was a big problem, the security box he was opening was aimed at individual users. And now more people are using computers in Internet cafes.
Internet cafes are a market that is doomed to decline, but now they can't help but seize it.
If the glasses man's Internet café management software is really good, then Wang, who now has 2.24 million yuan, plans to buy it directly, integrate it into the security box, and launch the Internet café version of the security box.
"Boss Sun, you are familiar with Internet café management software, you can also come and take a look." When the software was installed, Wang Buyi greeted.
Sun Yifeng operated for a while, nodded and said: "The function is really good, more comfortable than the management software I use now." ”
"That Boss Sun......" The man with glasses was suddenly full of hope.
"No way, this software is really good, but I really can't buy it." Sun Yifeng spread his hands and said regretfully.
The man with glasses immediately bit his lip, disappointed.
"How is this software sold?" Wang asked.
"Fifty dollars a month, six hundred a year." The man with glasses hurriedly replied.
"No, I mean, sell me the whole software, how do you sell it?" Wang said.
"Whole buy, real fake?" The man with glasses was dumbfounded, he never expected that someone would want to buy the whole thing.
"What is true or false, the great god is something you can doubt? The great god made a game a few days ago and sold it for $2o dollars! Sun Yifeng can't see anyone questioning idols.
"Really?" The man with glasses was even more surprised.
"Still suspicious! Believe it or not, I'll throw you out! Sun Yifeng was anxious.
Wang Bucheng hurriedly stopped and asked the matter: "You probably didn't plan to package the software for sale." So, how many copies did you expect to sell? ”
"Probably sell 1oo copies." The man with glasses blushed. In fact, they have been out there for a month, and so far they have not sold a set.
"1oo servings, that's 60,000 a year. I'll give you 60,000 yuan, and you sell me this software in its entirety, how about it? Wang said.
If 60,000 yuan can make the security box stand firm in the Internet café market, Wang Bufu thinks it is worth it.
"If you want to say yes to me. But we hadn't thought of selling it like this before, so I'm going to go back and ask everyone. The man with glasses was moved.
"Go and get back, I'll be here until four o'clock in the afternoon. In addition, you ask everyone if they would like to work for me, and the salary is negotiable. Wang said.
He's going to set up a company recently, so he's probably going to have to run for it. Without help, the complete software would be delayed and he would not be able to meet the deadline he had set for himself.
"I'll ask." The man with glasses felt that he had hit a bad luck and hurried to school. The software hasn't been sold for a month, and the other three, except for him, have given up in despair and are all staying in the school dormitory.
The man with glasses ran back to the dormitory, pushed open the door and shouted, "Hey, someone wants to buy our software, can we sell it?" ”
"Sell, 5o yuan a month, the four of us can have a restaurant every month this year." One was lying on the bed reading a book, said.
"No, it's not to buy one copy, it's to buy it whole. Name sixty thousand! The man in glasses yelled.
60,000 yuan, in 2oooo years, you can take out a loan to buy a house.
"Sixty thousand?" Hula, the other three people in the dormitory all sat up, eager to catch the glasses man and beat him, "Why don't you bring 60,000 yuan, come to us first?" ”
The man with glasses burst into tears and said: "After all, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts, how can I be the master alone." It's so cold in the computer room in winter, and our fingers hurt when we type on the keyboard, if it weren't for ......"
"Don't talk about those useless ones, lead the way, don't let that person run!" The other three didn't plan to sensationalize it at all, and they were all stimulated by 60,000 yuan.
The man with glasses took the other three to the Internet café, and of course Wang was still there.
"We sold!" The man in glasses yelled, followed by the other three. The momentum is good, but the lines are a little bad, which attracts sideways glances from passers-by.
"What university are you from?" Wang asked.
"Nanjiang University is all information majors." The man with glasses said.
"Being able to make this software means that your technology is capable, are you interested in helping me with a part-time job? Money is good to say, do a day to give a hundred. Wang said.
"Done!" The four of them looked at each other, and they were all overjoyed. If you come every day, it will be 3,000 a month, which is equivalent to being a white-collar worker in a foreign-funded company.
With these four people on board, the function of the security box can be further increased. Wang asked Sun Yifeng to bring four more computers and introduce them to the design concept of the security box.
"Make a software that helps users remove those streams. Rogue software? How could we not have thought of it. Those streams. Rogueware is easy for us, but people who don't know how to use computers can't. There is such a big market here, why don't we see it......" The man with glasses was amazed.
"So, let's divide it. The two of you are responsible for the integration of the Internet café version of the security box. The other two are responsible for the integration of the installed version of the security box. "The king did not live up to the assigned work.
The so-called "installed version of the security box" is also the way that Wang Bufu thinks of for the installed capacity. It is for merchants in the computer city. When they sell a computer, they always have to install a variety of drivers. If there is a free software that can be installed with all the mainstream drivers by the way, it should be welcomed.
It's a win-win, the merchant saves time, and the security box is installed when the user buys the computer home.
Because of the lack of skills, Wang Bufu originally did not plan to launch the installed version at the same time, but now it is easy to do it with manpower.
Now with a three-pronged approach, Wang Bu feels that his safety box can be a hit.
"Great God, how much are you going to sell for the three versions of this software?" The man with glasses asked curiously. They still feel that if their software fails, they fail on pricing.
"What do you think?" Wang Bu smiled.
"The personal version is 1o yuan, the Internet café version is 5o yuan, and the installed version is ...... 2o bucks? The man in glasses hesitated.
"You guessed wrong." Wang Bu laughed: "It's all free!" ”
"How is this possible!" The man in glasses exclaimed.
"It's going to be on the market soon, I don't believe you'll see it then." Wang said.
The NTU quadruple was dumbfounded, thinking to themselves that this guy is sick, even if he has money, does he have more money in his pocket to burn his ass? Paying someone to open software and then give it to people for free?
