Chapter 149: The Development of QQ
"Hehe, it should be said that no country will allow uncontrolled civilian paramilitary forces to exist. Or grandpa wise. Chen Lin smiled, he was not surprised that the old man saw the subtleties, it would be strange if the old man couldn't see it.
Chen Lin didn't think about it so much, after all, from Zhou Tai's compensation of 100 million yuan to a fund to help the troops, it was a temporary idea, where would he think about so much.
It was he who suddenly thought of it before he went home and lay in bed to sleep, and he remembered the mercenaries of the American Blackwater Company who were active everywhere on the battlefield in Iraq in his previous life.
On the one hand, it can accommodate more veterans, and on the other hand, this security company can also deal with some things that the military is not good to come forward with, such as counter-terrorism, protecting Chinese citizens abroad, etc.
Chen Lin unabashedly revealed his thoughts and plates. Immediately afterward, he asked Qi Xuan if he knew about the Blackwater Company in the United States.
It was surprising that Qi Xuan had never heard of this company, and Chen Lin figured it out that Blackwater Company was only established last year, and it was still a small company with a small name at this time, and he probably hadn't heard of it.
So Chen Lin introduced the origin of Blackwater.
Blackwater was founded in 1997, and in its previous life it was a well-known mercenary and security company in the United States.
In a decade, Blackwater has grown from a small security company with just a few people to the world's largest, and as of 2007, Blackwater has employees in nine countries around the world, more than 1,000 employees working in Iraq alone, 20,000 employees on standby, and 20 planes on standby.
The backbone members of Blackwater are retired soldiers of the U.S. Navy Special Forces "Navy SEALs", and this company is not simple, and his employees are all U.S. military veterans. It is not a simple security company, it has its own armed forces, and a strong mercenary, so to speak, he is a supernumerary force of the US military, participating in global activities as a security and mercenary. โ
Later, Chen Lin pointed out that Blackwater Company is not simple.
After listening to Chen Lin's introduction of the Blackwater Company, Qi Xuan thought for a few minutes, then sighed and sighed: "Brother Lin, if it weren't for Grandpa reminding you to say this, I really didn't expect the security company to operate like this for a while, and there is a lot to be done." โ
He has also carried out one or two missions abroad, and has come into contact with mercenaries, and has personally experienced that there are many scruples and inconveniences in carrying out missions as a military. On the contrary, the mercenaries are very flexible in their use of various means.
He also thought about suggesting that the military set up mercenaries, but he only thought of forming or forming a small-scale team outside the country, and he didn't expect that such a large-scale security company would be opened in China on such a large scale.
In this way, there are indeed many benefits, and even if this security company really does it become bigger and stronger as Chen Lin said, it has tens of thousands of employees. It's amazing to have a global presence.
It can be said that this is no longer a simple company, and in a certain way it can become a hidden strategic force of the country.
The more Qi Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this security company was not simple. Promising. Even he felt that it was tricky, and with his small ensign officer, he was afraid that he would not be able to support this big plate.
So he set his sights on his grandfather.
The old man also thought for a while, and suddenly he smiled and said, "Okay, it's almost noon, grandpa will make food for the two of you today." You young people talk a lot, I'll go to the yard to pick vegetables. โ
After speaking, the old man got up and went into the kitchen to get the vegetable basket, "Grandpa, let's help you pick vegetables together." Chen Lin then stood up and said with a smile.
"That's good. Let's cook a delicious meal together. The old man smiled heartily.
Chen Lin and Qi Xuan looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly followed up with the kitchen.
They knew that the matter of the security company was over, and the old man stopped talking about it for confidentiality reasons, and secondly, he was going to take over the juniors in person, so he didn't care about it for the time being.
The old man ate very happily at noon, and Chen Lin was also very happy, on the one hand, the old man seemed to regard him as his grandson, and he was kind to him at the dinner table, and on the other hand, he was also happy to be able to make a little contribution to the country.
The security company's affairs are none of his business, he only provides the first start-up capital and this idea, he will not get involved, and he will no longer ask about the security company's affairs. Besides, he is a businessman, and an ordinary person can't meddle in the affairs of the army, needless to say, this security company, the military will be firmly in control of it, both openly and secretly.
Being able to get the old man's appreciation is the biggest gain, what else do you ask for.
After eating, when Chen Lin was about to say goodbye, the old man took a photo of him, and Chen Lin didn't care what the old man wanted him to take a photo for?
It wasn't until tomorrow that he found out why the old man wanted the photo, and the old man gave him a big surprise.
He met Qi Xuan, who was suddenly promoted to the rank of major, in the company, and the eldest prince of Qi gave him a box and left in a hurry.
Inside the box was a second lieutenant's ID card and a military uniform.
Yes, Chen Lin became a second lieutenant officer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the blink of an eye.
It's a pity that his identity as an officer is kept secret, and he can't reveal it to anyone else except his wife, otherwise he will wear it and show off in the company as soon as possible.
Of course, the old man opened the back door and handled the special affairs for Chen Lin, and the matter of being an officer has not happened yet.
After Chen Lin left the old man's house, he went to Shenzhen Pentium Company. Since he was in Shenzhen, he stopped by to see his network technology company.
After half a year of development, the structure of Pentium Technology has been built, with 200 employees, which is good among domestic IT companies.
After Chen Lin arrived at the company, he caused a surprise to the employees of the company, because many of them were the first to see the legendary star boss.
The boss is a big star, handsome and golden, and the employees have begged for a group photo and an autograph.
Chen Lin signed the employees one by one, everyone was not satisfied, and after the last time, he said that he would invite the whole company to eat in the evening, so that everyone was satisfied.
After the employees dispersed, Chen Lin visited the company, accompanied by Ma Teng, the operating officer, and Guo Bin, the chief financial officer.
Chen Lin is most concerned about the development of "penguin" QQ, very specific, very detailed listening to Ma Teng's report, after several months of testing, QQ was finally officially launched on March 1, after two months of promotion, now more than 80,000 registered users. Soon it will be able to break through the 100,000 mark.
80,000 is not much compared to the figure of 1 billion in his previous life, but Chen Lin is very satisfied, because he doubts that there are 1 million netizens in the country at this time in 98. Even the word "netizen" has not yet been born, and I have the impression that it was only in the year 2000 that the number of netizens began to explode.
Chen Lin operated a QQ with great interest, and found that this most primitive version of QQ is simple, there is no QQ group, no QQ games, no QQ space......
An engineer next to him explained to Chen Lin the difference between QQ and ICQ.,In general, QQ is an imitation of OICQ.,Sinicized it.ใ
ICQ is a timely messaging software developed by three Israelis in 96, it is the originator of communication software, QQ is an imitation of it.
However, the imitator lives with a taste and becomes the king. The death of the imitator is a common occurrence in the history of the Internet.
The computer is also equipped with ICQ, Chen Lin also tried it out, and suddenly found that QQ won it in China, this guy changed a computer and then logged in, and he couldn't find the original friends and all the messages.
It turns out that all the data of ICQ is stored in the machine, upgrade or change to a computer, and all the contact information will be gone.
Foreigners have money. Everyone has a computer, it's not a big problem. But in China, most people were surfing the Internet in Internet cafes at that time. You can't let people in Internet cafes carry their own ICQ folders every day, and of course there are no USB sticks.
In this way, QQ is also innovative, at least all the data of this QQ is stored on the server side is much more convenient.
And Chen Lin also found a difference,ICQ can't automatically shrink and hide the desktop,It's really painful to see it occupy the desktop,And QQ has this functionใ It seems that QQ's success is really not a fluke.
Who said that QQ is not innovative, this is innovation.
Chen Lin was pleased to praise several development engineers present and encouraged them to make persistent efforts to carry forward their innovative spirit.
Then Ma Teng told Chen Lin something that made him happy, Ma Teng was ready to keep the number of the top 100 on QQ. Use as an insider.
This Ma Teng actually didn't realize the value of the QQ number in the future, he just used it as a benefit to the company's employees to improve everyone's sense of belonging to the company.
Chen Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately instructed him to keep all the first 100 numbers, and the company's employees assigned other numbers.
He wants to keep the first 100 numbers, and no one can assign these 100 numbers without his signature.
Ma Teng couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw that the boss attached so much importance to these QQ numbers, and several engineers were also curious, isn't it just a string of numbers, how can the boss be a treasure?
Hehe, Chen Lin smiled and said that these most primitive numbers will be very valuable in the future and are a symbol of status, just like the renminbi, some special numbers in the first edition will always be collected by many collectors at a high price.
Ma Teng was skeptical after hearing this, but the boss valued him and paid attention to these numbers, so he simply kept the first 500 numbers, and later it turned out that he made the right decision.
Chen Lin immediately registered No. 00002 under his name with a smile, and registered his first screen name in his previous life, "Desperate Sashimi".
When Chen Lin finished typing the last character, looking at the "00002" in front of the computer, a feeling of blowing up the sky spontaneously arose, and if future generations of netizens could see his expression, they would naturally be able to express their understanding.
But Ma Teng and a few engineers really couldn't understand what there was to be excited about a virtual number. Seeing the boss's expression, I can only sigh that everyone is not on a parallel line, the boss is unpredictable, don't guess his thoughts.
No. 00002 was taken by Chen Lin, so who is No. 00001 for? Needless to say, No. 1 is naturally reserved for the one at home, and this kind of ideological consciousness must not be forgotten at all times.
Chen Lin was very satisfied with the development of QQ, and after the last day, he went to Guo Bin's office to listen to his old classmates report the company's accounts.
So far, Chen Lin has injected capital into Pentium Company again, with a start-up capital of 500,000 yuan, and another 5 million yuan at the beginning of the year.
It is normal for Internet companies to burn money in the first few years of their business, and it is still more reasonable for the company's expenses to have old classmates in charge.
Chen Lin decided to inject 10 million again, originally he had the intention of financing, but at present, Jade Emperor Entertainment's profitability is relatively strong, and there is no need for external financing for the time being.
Moreover, Chen Lin injected 15 million yuan twice to dilute Ma Teng's shares, and Ma Teng transferred 5% of the shares to his old classmate Guo Bin.
It should be noted that 25% of Ma Teng's and 5% of Guo Bin's shares only have the right to dividends, and they cannot be bought and sold, because these shares are gifted and not bought by you, so naturally they can only enjoy dividends, and once they leave the company or retire, the company will give appropriate compensation to recover this part of the shares.
After reading the accounts and chatting with the old classmates, it was time for dinner, Chen Lin and Guo Bin left the office and went to the opposite hotel with the company's No. 200 employees.
At the wine table, Chen Lin only drank three glasses of wine and replaced the wine with a drink, and he had to go back to Chang * Sha in the evening, and tomorrow the company will hold a meeting to discuss the preparations for "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World".
At the wine table, Ma Teng mentioned the use of Jade Emperor Company's artists to promote QQ, Chen Lin agreed to his suggestion and asked him to prepare a detailed plan, but Chen Lin reminded that now the start-up artists of Pentium Company can help without charging and obliging, but only this time in the future, to find artists to promote according to market behavior.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Chen Lin wanted to catch a plane and apologized for leaving the seat halfway, Ma Teng and Guo Bin wanted to see him off, but he refused. So Chen Lin left the hotel with the applause of all the employees-
