This person is an internationally renowned financial predator and the head of the quantum fund.

George Soros.

After a long period of observation, analysis and preparation.

He believes that the time has come to short the Thai baht and make a lot of money......

......

At the same time, Xiangjiang.

After a few days of research and observation, Chen Weidong also decided to keep up with the pace of the quantum fund, first lurking in the market, waiting for the time to be ripe, and then launching a fatal blow.

According to the memories of the trader back then.

For this battle, Quantum Fund has gradually established a short position in Thailand six months in advance.

That is, in 1996, around October.

Now is the time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Weidong urgently contacted Lin Zeju and asked him to help convert all the more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars in his hand into US dollars.

According to the exchange rate of this era, more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars eventually became 500 million US dollars.

Followed by.

Chen Weidong continued to remit these dollars into a Thai bank account prepared in advance, and began to short the Thai stock market.

With the blessing of leverage, the capital of 500 million US dollars was magnified by 7 times.

A large number of empty orders have quietly appeared in the market.......

During the period when Chen Weidong was laying out Thailand, Song Yunjiang also called him several times and told him that the software had been optimized.

Wait until all the funds are arranged.

Chen Weidong was free at this time, and took Li Xier to the computer company to check the optimization progress of the software.

As soon as he entered the door, Song Yunjiang hurriedly greeted him.

Many programmers from the mainland also nodded when they saw Chen Weidong, but they did not leave their card slots.

Chen Weidong was very satisfied when he saw this.

It seems that during this time, Song Yunjiang arranged the company in an orderly manner, and there was no chaos.

"Mr. Chen, take a look at our software."

As he spoke, Song Yunjiang asked two employees to demonstrate the instant messaging software.

I saw two programmers sitting in front of the computer, sending text messages to each other.

Chen Weidong estimated that after the message was sent, the delay was about 4 seconds before the other party could receive the message.

Although it is not as late as the delay of less than 2 seconds in later generations, in 1996, it was already very powerful.

Chen Weidong praised them a few words, and said with a smile: "The first generation version, I don't demand too much, the current function is only to send and receive messages?" ”

"Mr. Chen, of course not, there is also the function of transferring files less than 30MB online." Song Yunjiang immediately explained.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yunjiang asked two more programmers to transfer files.

An office document of about 200 KB was sent from one computer to another in less than ten seconds.

Limited by insufficient network bandwidth, the speed is relatively slow.

However, these will be greatly improved with the development of the network.

For now, the app is more than enough.

The rest is how it should be promoted.

Thinking of this, Chen Weidong turned sideways to Song Yunjiang and said, "What do you think should be the name of this software?" ”

Song Yunjiang thought for a while and said, "How about calling it "IC"? That is, "instant communication", short for instant communication. ”

“IC？ ...”

Chen Weidong read it a few times and found it a little awkward.

Shook his head.

He added, "It's better to call it CC, an abbreviation for "constant communication", which means: continuous communication. ”

Song Yunjiang's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Mr. Chen, this name is not bad." ”

"Well, make do with it." Chen Weidong actually wanted to call it "QQ", but he was definitely fucking infringing.

Although in this time and space, QQ will not be born until 1999, Chen Weidong always feels that if he does this, is he a little too sorry for the pony?

"It's better to be called TT, it's smoother than yours." Seeing the hesitation of the two, Li Xi'er couldn't help but interject.

“TT？”

"I'm still in the same suit, probe."

Chen Weidong remembered a certain social software in the later life, and suddenly felt too vulgar, and he resolutely couldn't call it this.

After all, the positioning of this software is to chat at any time, daily communication, and office needs.

If you engage in ***, although the accumulation of customers in the early stage may be faster, it will definitely affect the upper limit of subsequent development.

After all, no one would use social software of this nature as a communication vehicle with family and friends.

You can't go the wrong way.

So, at Chen Weidong's insistence, the final name of the software was called "CC", and the original icon of this software was a planet pattern.

Chen Weidong thinks it's too ugly.

Considering the three aspects of design, positioning, and brand, as well as the characteristics of Chinese society and culture, national moral values and other comprehensive factors.

Chen Weidong drew a panda similar to the "ice squat" pattern in later generations on the spot as the launch icon of this software.

The honest and cute image of the panda was immediately unanimously recognized by the whole company.

After determining these things, Chen Weidong and Song Yunjiang and others discussed the issue of marketing in the conference room.

He has only one requirement, and that is to cover the market as quickly as possible at all costs.

Talking about the promotion issue, Song Yunjiang was puzzled: "Mr. Chen, how much are we going to charge for this software?" ”

"Charges?" Chen Weidong was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem, in the image, penguins have always been free.

"It's free." Chen Weidong thought for a while and said.

"Ahh How can you make a profit completely free? Song Yunjiang was taken aback, it can't be developed to do charity.

Now on the market, any computer software is charged, such as genuine WPS, a mere word processing software, it costs 500 yuan a set.

"Hehe, you may not understand it now, but you will know later, the free one is the most expensive." Chen Weidong explained earnestly.

He asked Song Yunjiang to launch the first generation of CC first and fully occupy the market.

When the time comes, cultivate user stickiness, and then launch some "personalized needs" along the way. ”

For example, CC show, colorful this and that diamond, super membership or something, there will definitely be people who are willing to pay for it.

Especially those young people, how could they resist the temptation of these comparisons.

Thinking of the functions of those who pit money in later generations, Chen Weidong smiled.

After listening to Chen Weidong's explanation, Song Yunjiang simply admired the five-body throw.

It turns out that the boss has a plan, and he is still worried about not being able to make a profit, it's so stupid, no wonder others are the boss, and he is just a codewriter.

Even Li Xi'er, who was on the side, looked at Chen Weidong's eyes brightly.

It's just that she sees something deeper than Song Yunjiang.

When others sell software, they only make money once, but Chen Weidong intends to make people keep paying money and making a steady stream of profits.

Even if it's only a few dollars at a time, under the trickle, it can converge into a big river over time.

"Call Lin Zeju and ask him to come to the company to have a look."

Chen Weidong said to Li Xi'er.
