Chapter 5 The Meeting at Yanqi Lake

"As a physicist, barely a mathematician, by the way, I'm still a not-so-bad programmer, and everyone will definitely have the opportunity to write code together next", Wang Yinan used a string of titles that pretended to be X, and successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"After so many years of study and research, I have deeply realized that whether it is the natural world or human society, there is a very simple objective law, but no one can bypass it", Wang Yinan paused, and waited until everyone was engrossed and there was no sound in the conference room, and then said softly,

"Nothing can last forever, and the peak is often the beginning of decline",

"It sounds cheesy, but when you think about it, it makes sense",

"Two or three years ago, when the big penguins were in full swing, who of you thought that it would be replaced one day?" , Wang Yinan said,

"And today, when the prestige is in full swing, why don't you dare to imagine that one day it will be replaced by someone else, and that other person, why can't it be you, me, and us."

You are the boss, you have the final say, there is finally a little anger in the conference room, after all, everyone is still young, and the biggest advantage of being young is that you will not be afraid of failure, which is why Wang Yinan chose to form a team from scratch.

In terms of R&D efficiency, there are many companies that have done PC or mobile phone communication software, and almost a little bit of Internet companies will more or less get involved in this field, at least in 361 companies, web version, mobile phone version, PC version of instant messaging software, there are several business divisions, and more than one has been developed.

But these existing teams, even if they are lucky to be saved because of the company's big business and the waste is nothing, it must be demoralized, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, not to mention the front and prestige, it is estimated that Wang Yinan just told everyone the true face of the behemoth Goliath, and when he turned around, there would be a bunch of resignation reports on the table.

In a war, morale is the most important thing, so Wang Yinan would rather work harder and build a team from scratch, hoping to maintain a high morale from the beginning. If you have morale, you may not be able to win, but if you don't have morale, you will definitely lose.

However, morale alone cannot defeat prestige. To be honest, although he is full of confidence in front of the blackboard, Wang Yinan is actually unsure in his heart. He did have some ideas about how to defeat Prestige, otherwise he wouldn't have made the Cardinal Master so excited, but whether these ideas would have an effect is only God knows.

After the chicken soup is filled, it's time to arrange the work, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, "Although I can't tell you how to defeat prestige now, believe me, the solution is in my head, and slowly you will know", Wang Yinan continued to pour chicken soup.

"First of all, my HR colleagues have been working with you on contracts and salaries recently."

"A few product managers in suits, you look like a product manager, in our company in the future, you can dress as you like, if you think you are very handsome, I have no objection to you wearing a suit, of course, if you look more handsome than the boss, cough cough, what are the consequences, I won't say much."

"Your first task is to study Weixin and all its competing products, all of which are products, and I don't need to tell you the specific research methods."

"No", Qi Feng took the lead, and a group of men in suits replied very neatly,

"It's good, I don't care where the prestige is good, everyone in Blue Star knows it's good, what I want to know is, where the prestige is bad", Wang Yinan said,

"The more you find places with bad prestige, the more confident we will be, won't we?" ,

"Yes, yes, it's better to be useless", others began to coax, the atmosphere was finally lively, as long as it was faced with specific things, there would not be too much powerlessness, in the "defeat of prestige", and "copy the text 10,000 times" between the choice, normal people are estimated to choose the latter, although the task is heavy, but it is good to see the completion of the day is not.

"Programmers, your task is very heavy, before actually starting work, I want you to study Weixin from the perspective of a programmer ape, his communication principle, for example, whether it uses UDP or TCP, or even HTTP protocol, what audio format does he use for voice communication, and what format does he use for video communication?"

"It is a stone of the mountain, you can attack jade, only by understanding our opponent, can we really defeat him", Wang Yinan said,

"Of course, I'd prefer you to find that prestige is as powerful as Goliath, and technically a piece of garbage, although this is impossible."

"Finally, it's art design", "You need to study the user interface style, color palette and design principles of prestige and competition",

"There are also various dynamic emojis that are particularly popular, and we will definitely open users to make their own ones in the future, but the earliest official version still needs your efforts."

After speaking, Wang Yinan hurriedly left the conference room, and before leaving, he called Chen Zihao, Zhao Tiancheng, as well as Wan Xin and Liu Hu, as well as Qi Feng, a man in a suit.

"The next work of researching the opponent's products and technologies is mainly the five of you who are responsible," Wang Yinan said.

"I expect it should take two weeks for everyone's contracts and other messes to be done, and we'll meet again in two weeks, and before that, each of you will give me a work report and a report of the team."

After pouring chicken soup to a group of rookies, Wang Yinan drove away from the Dream Science and Technology Building, although Qian Zhonghua and Zhang Qi said many times that he should not drive by himself, the company also specially equipped him with a special car, Mercedes-Benz S350, and a full-time driver, Wang Yinan still likes to drive alone.

Because in the imperial capital, the safety is still guaranteed, Qian Zhonghua also went with him, according to Wang Yinan's own words, "When driving, I am very clear-headed, and the efficiency of thinking about problems is particularly high", of course, the real reason is whether it is convenient to have a tryst with someone by driving by myself, we don't know.

Coming out of the Guancun Science and Technology Park, it is just the fourth ring of the imperial capital, it is now noon, the traffic of the imperial capital is the best in the day except for the early morning, although the fourth ring is still full of cars and cars, it is very lively, but there is no traffic jam, it is quite good.

After walking for a while around the Fourth Ring Road, there was a highway from the imperial capital to the summer resort, Wang Yinan turned onto the highway, activated the automatic cruise and lane keeping assist system, turned on the prestige voice, and began to chat with Zhou Hui.

"Big star, what are you doing", although they are already a pair of dog men and women, Wang Yinan is still habitually called Zhou Hui big star,

"Big scientist, what's wrong with the rookie class in the morning, is the chicken soup rancid?" Zhou Hui said.

"You also underestimate me too much, I feel that the attributes of a professional chicken soup and joker are stronger than my attributes of a scientist", Wang Yinan replied,

Zhou Hui agreed, "Yes, yes, you are a joker",

"I'm waiting to come out, the little fresh meat acting skills in front are too good, I see that the director's face is almost green, he has clicked five or six times, and he hasn't finished filming all morning",

"Hey, don't say it, except for looking a little shabby, you really don't act worse than him",

"Otherwise, I'll tell the director that I can get a replacement",

"I estimate that with your current popularity, the director will definitely agree happily."

"Are you praising me, or are you hurting me, how can I have time to act in movies now", Wang Yinan began to complain,

"I'm busy like a dog all day long, by the way, I'll ask you a question," Wang Yinan said.

"You say",

"If there was a new, better messaging software than Vixen, would you use it?" , Wang Yinan asked,

"Let me think", Zhou Hui paused for a moment,

"I don't think it will be used, after all, basically all the contacts are in authority," Zhou Hui said.

"Communication software needs to communicate with people, if there is no one above, then there is no way to use it",

This answer was expected by Wang Yinan, after all, the first and biggest problem faced by a new communication software was this, and it was by relying on the communication with the Penguin that prestige to cross this barrier.

"What if this problem is solved", Wang Yinan continued to ask,

"That's no problem, as long as the function is better than prestige, I don't reject using new ones, of course, you have to give me a reason first, not prestige, a reason to use new software."

Wang Yinan nodded, this answer is consistent with the survey commissioned by a consulting company some time ago, as long as the problem of contacts is solved, users don't mind using a new software to replace prestige.

And there are some more interesting survey results to strengthen Wang Yinan's confidence, many people have aesthetic fatigue about prestige, more than 60% of the respondents, willing to accept a software with some functional differences with prestige, as a supplement to prestige to use at the same time.

Seeing the sign at the exit of the highway in front of him, Wang Yinan said to Zhou Hui, "Then you continue filming, I'm going to go to a meeting",

"Poop one"...

Leaving the highway at the exit of Yanqi Lake, Wang Yinan followed the positioning given to him by Qian Zhonghua, and after passing two traffic lights, he turned onto a small road by the lake, which was surrounded by tall reeds on both sides of the path and had pleasant scenery, and there was not a single car on the road, and there was no road name on the map software on his mobile phone.

At the end of the path, there is a large courtyard gate, there is no sign showing the name of the unit on the courtyard gate, but there is a sentry on the side of the courtyard gate, a guard with a gun stands in the sentry box, and outside the sentry box stands a sign with red letters on a white background, which reads, "Military units, please do not enter."

Wang Yinan knew the rules, he didn't want the guards to point the gun at him, so he lowered the speed of the car and rolled down the window, Wang Yinan slowly approached the guards, and specially showed his face to the guards clearly. Obviously, the guards had been notified in advance, and after looking at Wang Yinan's license plate and the face that was often on TV, the guards saluted him and opened the automatic door.

"Go straight through the door, the big conference room in the middle, someone will pick you up at the door," said the guard.

"Thank you", Wang Yinan said thank you, drove all the way in, it was really big inside, Wang Yinan drove for five minutes, only to see a small building by the lake, there were two men in black suits waiting at the door, Wang Yinan just parked the car, a man in black helped him pull the car door, "Professor Wang, the meeting has begun",

"You come with me".

Wang Yinan got out of the car, the man in black habitually protected him on the inside line, Wang Yinan is also an expert, looking at the position of the two, this big brother obviously protected all the directions where Wang Yinan might be sniped, and when he walked, he looked like he could break out at any time, Wang Yinan smelled a familiar smell from him.

"Come out of the Earth Dragon Brigade, who is your instructor", Wang Yinan asked,

"Professor Wang has good eyesight, I was the last one last last year, and Captain Leng always used you as an example to spur us",

"That guy didn't tell you that I hit him all over the ground?" , Wang Yinan asked (I remember that there was no such thing, Wang Yinan must have bragged),

"Well, there really isn't any",

The two walked into a large conference room, where there were more than a dozen people, most of whom were older, although the imperial capital was now implementing a strict tobacco control policy throughout the whole process, but the conference room was still full of smoke.

In the huge conference room, there were only the sounds of drinking water, coughing, and smoking.

But no one spoke.

It seems that the discussion has reached an impasse.
