"I think it's amazing, and it saves a lot of phone bills." Li Xi'er said unsatisfactorily.

"Hehe, what village girl, if one day the instant messaging software is transplanted to the mobile phone, and you can chat anytime and anywhere with the mobile phone, then you have to stay up late every day to play with the mobile phone." Chen Weidong couldn't help but mock.

"How can there be such a powerful mobile phone, and now the latest Motorola "Palm Treasure" is just a phone call. Li Xi'er said in disbelief.

"Then we'll see." Chen Weidong knows that this is indeed very advanced, but in this era, Moore's Law is still very applicable.

A giant called Nokia should be stepping up the development of the Symbian system now.

By the time it comes out, it should be late 1999 at the earliest.

A lot of times, it's not the money that can do everything.

Although it has been more than half a year since rebirth, it is still unrealistic to rely on money and break some technical barriers.

What you don't have is what you don't have, and you can't conjure it out of thin air.

If you want to invest in high-tech, chips, or mobile phones, can you find a scientific research team at will?

Without talent in this area, how can you do it?

With tens of billions in your hands, but you don't know where to start, and you can't spend the money, can you feel this feeling?

Chen Weidong is now facing such a problem.

......

1997, early May.

The second version of CC was released, and it caused a sensation in Hong Kong as soon as it was released.

Epoch-making innovations that change your lifestyle!

At today's software conference held in Hong Kong Central, "Infinity" once again proved to the world its powerful software development capabilities after the "simulated stock trading".

———— Sing Tao Daily, May 6, 1997.

In July 1980, a team of 12 people secretly arrived at the IBM Research and Development Center in Boca Raton, Florida, to carry out a research and development project called "Checkers Project".

A year later, on August 12, IBM launched the first IBM PC in New York, ushering in a new chapter in computer history.

However, just when people thought that computers were limited to office work, document processing, and sending emails, Infinity was born and launched an instant messaging software called "CC", which broke people's preconceived notions of computer functions in one fell swoop.

———— Phoenix Weekly, May 1997.

........

The editorial office downloaded the instant messaging software "CC" from the official website of Infinity.

Now, we're finally getting a chance to get our hands on this rumored amazing software.

When we installed it, we were surprised to find that the file size was only 220KB, so it only took us about ten seconds to download it.

With such a "streamlined" file size, we can't help but wonder if this means that his product is not rich enough? But when we followed the instructions and applied for an account to log in, I found that I was wrong.

Light blue, simple and smooth operation interface, able to make a person without any computer foundation quickly get started.

Find friends, group chats, file transfer, create a homepage.... And so on, so that you can quickly connect with strangers without spending a lot of effort.

The author has experienced it firsthand, and after the message was sent, I received a reply from the other party about a few seconds later, and I didn't feel any delay in between.

Of course, it also depends on how fast the other person types.

As a result, Infinity calls this user a "netizen".

This brings me to the idea that this software can be used not only to streamline communication and respond quickly, but also for file sharing and information updates, which can help employees in your company communicate, meet needs, and achieve goals.

This means that, with the help of instant messaging, employees can easily communicate with each other without leaving the office.

———— Computer World May '97.

......

As of press time, the instant messaging software "CC" released by Infinity has quickly gained a large number of users in Hong Kong with its unprecedented creativity, even in mainland China, where the Internet is not very developed, and the market users account for an astonishing 70%.

However, due to the misleading of many media, many people believe that this software released by Infinity is the world's first instant messaging software for the first time.

According to our investigation, there is a software company in Israel that released an instant messaging software called ICQ as early as mid-November last year, which has almost exactly the same function as Infinity's "CC".

———— British Lianhe Zaobao, May '97.

......

"Ah Wei, the user growth of the computer company is too fast! Even the users on the mainland have exploded! Lin Zeju took the latest market statistics report and said excitedly in Chen Weidong's office.

"It's expected, look at this." Chen Weidong took out a letter and handed it over.

"What's that?" Lin Zeju took it and immediately smiled.

"Good guys, you dare to sue us that we copied their software?!"

Lin Zeju clearly remembers that the first version of the company's software was released a month earlier than the Israelis, and now they are embarrassed to send a lawyer's letter saying that we plagiarized.

"I watched their software, the interface is very simple, and there are ads implanted inside, which is very bloated." Chen Weidong said lightly.

With its forward-looking and aesthetic aesthetics, which is decades ahead of this era, the "CC" software has won numerous praises since its launch, and the classic chat box and user-friendly operation interface make people like it at a glance.

The Israelis' "ICQ", on the other hand, is the crappiest window of documents, like an ugly duckling.

"Don't worry, I'll find the group's lawyer and fight a lawsuit with them." Lin Zeju didn't pay attention to these things at all.

As a multinational company, the Yellow River Group has hundreds of lawsuits a year, and this is just an Israeli company.

"That said, but I've heard that there are British and Americans behind it to help them stand on their feet." Chen Weidong frowned and said.

"If that's the case..... It's a bit of a hassle. When Lin Zeju heard that the water was so deep, he suddenly felt a little tricky.

"You have to find a lawyer who is good at international litigation and has a high enough level, otherwise it will not be easy to deal with this matter." Chen Weidong thought for a while and said.

"Leave this to me, I'll figure it out." Lin Zeju comforted that he was going to go back for a meeting and ask his subordinates if they had any lawyers he knew.

"By the way, I heard that your Yellow River Group also has a communications business?" Chen Weidong spoke again.

"There must be, but it's just a secondary operator." Lin Zeju knew his family's industry very well, and replied almost instantly.

"Damn, I'm overestimating you." Chen Weidong was speechless, he thought that the Yellow River Group should also be a first-level operator in the telecommunications industry, but he didn't expect it to be just a second-level operator.

The meaning of the first-tier operators is that they have their own backbone network and various services, all of which are operated by them in a one-stop manner, similar to China Unicom and Telecom in later generations.

The second-tier operators, which are mobile, rent broadband lines, because the bandwidth is shared, so they will be more stuck during the peak period of Internet access.
