Chapter 81, take the lead
(The first update is to thank "Bo Khan" for his support.) )
"Hey, Tang Zheng, you're finally back, we thought you were lost!" Looking at Tang Zheng at the door, Ma Huateng said with a smile.
"How is it possible, I bought some food on the way and came back, let's eat first!" Tang Zheng snorted.
"Really, no matter how you say that you are also a guest, how can there be any reason for you to break the bank."
"Brother Ma, don't be so polite, you continue to stare at the server, I'll go and sort out these things first, and then we'll solve the server problem after eating."
In fact, it is now approaching the end of work, and OICQ's servers are about to face a severe test.
On the way back, Tang Zheng thought of some ways, although he didn't bring back anything about computer hardware, and he couldn't fundamentally solve the problem of the server.
But there is another way, that is, to start from the software program, such as stealing more broadband from the telephone company, etc., just like the principle of stealing satellite signals before, which can also solve the problem of server congestion during peak hours.
Ma Huateng and Zhang Zidong can be regarded as having a good tooth sacrifice, and those delicious cooked foods are much better than the dry and cold instant noodles they usually gnaw.
"Brother Zhang, check it now and see if the Internet speed has improved a little!" Tang Zheng wrote several sets of programs on the spot, and then modified several key data on the phone company's side slightly through hackers.
"Xiao Tang, you are really powerful, almost twenty or thirty percent higher, but will this really not be discovered?" While happy, Zhang Zidong still has some worries.
"Don't worry! It's not that I blow it, in another ten years, they won't be able to find out what the difference is! Tang Zheng said with great confidence.
"However, after our servers are aging and the network speed and traffic have increased, I am afraid that such a high load will not last long!" Ma Huateng was not carried away by joy, but said with some worry.
"It's okay, I went to the computer market today to look around, there is a key thing I didn't find, so I just didn't buy it, wait for my friend to send that thing over first, it should be on the way now, almost tomorrow afternoon, we are adding a few new servers, so we don't have to worry about stuck."
In vain, you naturally have to find an excuse to get by.
"I see, I thought something was wrong!" When Ma Huateng heard this, his mood also relaxed a little.
Tang Zheng smiled and said: "What big problems can there be, while there is still some time, I want to talk to you about the future plan of OICQ, do you have any special ideas?" ”
Ma Huateng shook his head and said: "We haven't thought too much about it for the time being, the biggest problem at the moment is to stabilize those customers, don't let them lose, and then consider other aspects, and there is a very real problem, that is, the funding gap is too big, and no venture capital companies are willing to participate in it so far." ”
In the end, Tang Zheng and they have only worked together for less than a day, and they can't make a heart-to-heart confession, even if they really have any good ideas, they will hide them in their hearts and will not say them at this time, which is the key.
"Brother Ma, how much money do you need, you can tell me, I have a good idea in my heart." Since the question of money was mentioned, Tang Zheng simply asked directly.
"According to our preliminary budget, just the initial investment, we have to be at least one or two million, as long as the company is on the right track, the funds should be able to be quickly returned, so that the development is not a big problem, I also firmly believe that OICQ can beat several other opponents, we will survive this difficulty." When it comes to this aspect, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zidong both seem to be high-spirited.
"The problem is not very big, my original investment plan is two or three million, which should be able to meet the expectations of Brother Ma and the two of you."
Tang Zheng has already thought of a new method of raising money, and he will implement it later.
"Xiao Tang, is your family so rich? casually said that he would take two or three million out. Zhang Zidong said with envy.
Tang Zheng just smiled, and didn't explain too much, but changed the topic and said: "Actually, it's not enough to have funds, you have to have some advanced ideas, in the Internet world, if you want to make a lot of money, you must take the lead at any time, only the first person to eat crabs can grow into a real giant!" ”
"Well said! Looking at the way you look, Don Jr., you already have some great ideas in mind, don't you? Ma Huateng nodded in agreement.
"yes, at this stage, we don't have much of an advantage over the other competitors, so I think we can start with voice chat, what do you think?"
In fact, at this stage, the domestic network has just started for less than a year, and there are many interesting things that have not been revealed, and the function of the network seems to be a bit single, even if it is an ordinary voice chat in later generations, it is also a luxury for most netizens.
"Voice chat! This seems to be a bit difficult, but in terms of current techniques, the leapfrogging is a bit big! ”
For the benefits of voice chat, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zidong both know in their hearts, but to really do it, not only need financial investment, but also need technical support, with the current ability and energy of the two of them, it is far from being able to do this, so they don't actually think about it.
"There's no rush for this, we can spend a little more time, and I think what we can do right now is that if we add some emojis for chatting when users are chatting, it should greatly enhance the fun of chatting."
This is Tang Zheng's true intention, the voice chat technique will take more than half a year to mature, and it is far from being as easy as he said.
At this stage, all chat tools are in their infancy, except for MSN and other foreign chat tools that go a little ahead, all chat tools can almost only be simple conversations, especially in the case of less typing input methods, it is very boring.
In such a situation, users will naturally not be too stable, and often use what comes to mind, and will not have habitual thinking.
Ma Huateng's eyes lit up, Tang Zheng's proposal sounded very good, and it was just a few picture expressions, the difficulty was not high, he didn't know that this was originally the trajectory of QQ's later development, but now it was shamelessly stolen by Tang Daguan.
"Xiao Tang, your suggestion is very good, I think we can make these things overnight, and then when the sky is free, upgrade the version to add emoji data packages, so that our users can get a new experience."
