Chapter 313: Chase and Fight
"I've heard of your name since I was in school, and I've been using you as my role model, if you don't dislike it, can you sign it for me?"
"Thank you so much!"
The guy who calls himself a pony asks Jiangshan.
He never knew that the man in front of him, who was regarded as a role model by him, was also full of yearning for him once upon a time.
There is no doubt that he is the founder of the Penguin Group in later generations, known as Little Brother Ma in the rivers and lakes.
As for the others, they were his college roommates and his very good friends.
No wonder Jiang Shan thinks he is very familiar, I see.
"I can promise to give you an autograph, but before that, I want to know, the project you came to seek investment."
Jiang Shan said.
"Boss, they're just a broken chat app, so I refused."
Manager Wu said on the side.
Remember https://m.net in a second
After being rejected for investment, Xiao Ma and his family changed their strategy and wanted Manager Wu to acquire their software, but they were also rejected.
As a result, there was a scene where they were grinding hard against Manager Wu at the door.
Jiang Shan glanced at Manager Wu.
"I don't like it when someone interjects when I'm talking."
Hearing this, Manager Wu was so frightened that his forehead sweated, and he bent over and hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry boss, it's my dereliction of duty!"
After admonishing Manager Wu, Jiang Shan's gaze returned to Brother Xiao Ma again and motioned for them to introduce.
Brother Xiao Ma opened his backpack, took out a document from it and handed it to Jiang Shan.
The content of the document is about the introduction of their software, the market selling point, and the development prospects.
The name of the software is QICQ.
This name may not be known to many people, but when it comes to its name in later generations, it is known to everyone.
QQ, which uses the image of a penguin as an icon and has nearly one billion users, is developed from QICQ.
And the penguin empire created by QQ as the cornerstone is even more well-known.
Among them, WeChat, which has users all over the world, the king of gold-absorbing mobile games pesticides, online games Crossfire, LOL, etc., can be described as smash hits.
"If I could, I'd like to borrow a computer and show you how."
Brother Xiao Ma said to Jiang Shan.
is different from Jack Ma's eloquent personality, Xiao Ma's personality is obviously much more introverted, not good at words, and prefers to prove it with practical actions.
"Okay, come, you sit here with me."
Jiang Shan stood up and gave way to Brother Xiaoma.
Brother Xiao Ma nodded, flattered, sat down on the seat where Jiang Shan had just sat down, and then took out the USB flash drive from his backpack, installed it on the computer, and demonstrated it to Jiang Shan.
QICQ is the prototype of QQ, compared with the QQ, which is simple and easy to use and has a wide audience, QICQ at this time is too simple.
The main focus is online live chat.
At present, there are nearly 500,000 registered users, and the users are basically college students.
QICQ is developed by Xiao Ma in cooperation with several roommates after he came into contact with a foreign instant chat software called ICQ, and on the basis of ICQ, it has been localized.
In the normal course of history, QICQ was only developed in '99.
But now, because the country has promoted the construction of the Internet in advance, with the early arrival of the Internet wave, Xiao Ma's QICQ has also come out early.
Under the impetus of the country, the existing historical process has accelerated.
"There aren't many live chat apps on the Internet at the moment, so if you invest in us and let us develop them further, I believe that QICQ will become a household name online chat tool in the future."
"People can use it for communication, to transfer files, to audio and video chat."
"With the development of the network, I think that people's future communication will be carried out on the network, and QICQ will become the most important medium, through this, we will have a large user base, based on this, we can expand to more fields!"
Brother Xiao Ma passionately depicts a grand blueprint for the future.
QICQ will become an indispensable social medium in people's online life in the future.
Obviously, Xiao Ma has always been very clear about the positioning of QICQ.
It's all about socializing, and then building on that.
In fact, the reason why the Penguin Group in later generations was so successful was because of the huge number of users accumulated by online social networking.
This is a big killer for the Penguin Group.
The reason why they are looking for investment today is also very simple, they are almost unable to support the operation of QICQ.
As a network communication tool, QICQ provides services to users, needs servers, storage systems, daily maintenance, updates some new functions, and improves user experience, and all of these require money.
Rao is Brother Xiaoma's family is good, but these expenses are not a small amount.
Moreover, if QICQ wants to grow, it needs to expand more users, so the cost will be higher.
"Of course, if you don't want to invest, you can also buy this software, and our target price is half a million."
Seeing that Jiang Shan did not express his position, Xiao Ma Ge added in a low voice.
The main reason why Xiao Ma said this is because the current QICQ is too simple, and the number of users is not much.
Among them, many users are attracted by them by pretending to be girls.
With the strength of Longteng Group, if you want to make a piece of software similar to QICQ, it is not too simple, and it can even be better than QICQ.
This is also the reason why Manager Wu rejected them.
For Longteng Group, QICQ is too pediatric.
As long as Longteng Group is willing, it can make a better software at any time.
Why invest or acquire something that you can easily do on your own?
"If I invest, I want more than 50 percent of the actual equity, can you accept that?"
Jiang Shan asked Brother Xiaoma.
Hearing Jiang Shan say this, Brother Xiao Ma was stunned.
For a moment, he wondered if his ears had misheard and that the role model was willing to invest in him!
"Yes, of course!"
Brother Pony nodded excitedly.
"And how much do you want?"
Jiang Shan then asked.
"As long as you're willing to invest, you can give as much as you want!"
For Brother Xiaoma, Jiangshan's willingness to invest is the greatest affirmation for them and a great honor for them.
"Good!"
"In this case, I will pay for the money, and I will also give you some support in terms of resources, you just need to continue to improve, so that QICQ can become an indispensable network communication tool for the people of the whole country."
"This is the task I have given you, and it is also the return I hope to see after investing."
Jiang Shan said.
It is true that, as Manager Wu expected, QICQ at this time was too simple, and Longteng Group could easily make a better software.
However, QICQ has grown into a Penguin Group that plays a pivotal role in the Internet industry in later generations.
It depends on the perfect grasp of online social networking.
This is also its core competitiveness.
Although Longteng Group is full of talents, its grasp and understanding of online social networking is obviously not as transparent as that of Xiaoma.
Jiangshan can be copied, but the reason why QICQ has slowly evolved into a national-level network communication tool is that in addition to the high quality of the software itself, the most important point is time.
To change people's social patterns, it takes a lot of time to perfect and adjust users.
There is an important reason why so many people use QQ WeChat in later generations, everyone is using it, if you don't use it, you can't communicate normally.
The addition of batch after batch of users has continuously consolidated this social base, and latecomers have to join it if they want to communicate.
This is the magic of QQ WeChat.
And time is too precious for the country.
He can use his time to do other, more profitable industries.
All things considered, it is the wisest choice to invest in Xiao Ma and have more than 50% absolute decision-making power.
"Rest assured, we won't let you down!"
Brother Xiao Ma and the others were very excited and assured Jiang Shan.
"In addition, I would like to give you a suggestion, the name QICQ, the imitation traces are too heavy, and it needs to be given a new name while taking a new path."
"Let's call it QQ, you can try to use penguins as an image!"
