With the official opening of the school on September 1, 98, Zhou Ming immediately registered a company in BJ and named it Maxis Holdings Limited.

Take out Zhou Ming's identity information to invest and hold 65% of the shares, and hold 15% of the shares in the name of Chen Xingjie, and the last 20% will be used as incentives for all employees.

Immediately after that, Zhou Ming, who was self-proclaimed general manager, was recruiting programmers throughout BJ and officially announced the development of an instant messaging tool RR, knowing that the predecessor of QQ, Qicq, had not yet been founded.

Because Zhou Ming has a clear development plan and goals for RR, it becomes very easy and simple to develop RR, and only a large number of programmers can be easily done.

Then, just a month later, on National Day, Maxis officially launched its instant messaging tool RR, and then started its own Internet era.

The manager of Maxis' RR promotion department walked into Zhou Ming's office, "Mr. Chen, as soon as our RR was launched on the Internet, the number of users exceeded 100,000. ”

"Well, we also need to hire more part-time college students, all of whom are registered as female users and new users to chat, and we must promote our RR to the greatest extent." Zhou Ming nodded very satisfied, and then said his promotion plan.

"Yes! Mr. Chen, will this not affect well? ”

"This is the simplest operation for commercial promotion."

"Yes! Mr. Chen, I know what to do, and our programmers also have corresponding chat tasks. ”

"Excellent! It's important that you draw inferences. At this time, Zhou Ming was very satisfied with the manager of the brand promotion department in front of him, and then talked about the next promotion work, "Next, your RR promotion department will recruit a large number of part-time personnel to directly enter the university campus and middle school campus for promotion, and this year will give your department a million product promotion fees." ”

"Okay! Mr. Chen, I'll go down and make arrangements. ”

"Manager Chu, in addition, the company has set a target of one million users for your promotion department, and if you can't complete it, you will leave directly, and there will naturally be a generous commission reward for overcompletion."

"Yes! Mr. Chen. ”

At this time, QICQ, the predecessor of QQ, was still a plan on paper, and Tencent, which later dominated the domestic Internet, had not yet been founded, so Zhou Ming's Maxis Technology became the first company to eat cake.

Maxis then developed a number of single-player mini-games, which immediately enriched the various functions and playability of RR, and prepared to launch RR Farm at the same time as the launch of RR 2.0.

Watching the steady development of his scientific and technological career, Zhou Ming undoubtedly felt very excited at this time.

Zhou Ming, a professor of electrification at Tsinghua University, called Zhou Ming to the office, "Chen Xingjie, I heard that you have partnered with someone else to open a company?" ”

"Yes! The company, Maxis Holdings Limited, has launched an instant messaging tool called RR, which is very convenient for communicating on the Internet. At this time, Zhou Ming hurriedly introduced it with a smile, and unconsciously regarded Professor Lin in front of him as a potential user.

"That's it! I'm not an RR user of yours, so there's no need to introduce me in such detail, I think you should still focus on professional learning. ”

"Yes! Professor, I won't leave my major class behind. ”

"Chen Xingjie, although you have won the national college entrance examination champion, but this is like a tortoise and rabbit race, plus our Tsinghua geniuses are also as many as cattle, remember not to be complacent."

"Yes! Professor, I will definitely listen to your teachings. ”

"Go ahead! You can't afford to make mistakes in the next professional exam. ”

"Yes! Professor. ”

After Zhou Ming left the professor's office, Professor Lin in the office muttered to himself, "RR? What is it? ”

Immediately after that, Professor Lin, who was curious, turned on his computer, typed "RR" and started searching, and then downloaded this instant messenger on an official website.

Soon a cute red panda pattern appeared on his desktop, and Professor Lin curiously clicked on the panda pattern with his mouse.

Naturally, I first applied for an RR number after a simple registration, and after logging in, a very indirect and beautiful interface appeared.

Immediately after that, a small speaker icon appeared, informing yourself that the following RR users may be their friends.

Surprised, Professor Lin hurriedly added them one by one, and found that almost all of them were his colleagues or students.

At this time, Professor Lin also put away his contempt and realized that the development prospects of this RR are definitely not simple.

Thinking that his students had developed such a great software, Professor Lin was happy to play at this time.

Whether it's single-player games such as chess and cards, or the recently launched RR Farm, it has caught the attention of Professor Lin and all RR customers.

The already boring and boring life has become more colorful, and it has also given them a new way to communicate with each other.

……

In the end, Zhou Ming still underestimated his own promotion methods, only three months have passed since RR was launched, and the number of RR users has exceeded a terrifying one million.

The number of 1 million users can be described as a very terrifying number, and you must know that the number of computers on the Internet in China is only less than 750,000, and the number of Internet users is only a pitiful 2.1 million.

In addition, as soon as RR was launched, it started a crazy profit model, and there was no Ma Huateng at all in the early days of their business.

In November '98, Ma Huateng, who couldn't hold back, still entangled with four other guys to found QICQ company, originally thinking that he could rub a wave of traffic from the ICQ company in the United States.

However, they copied RR in their daily operations, and they were immediately noticed by Zhou Ming, who had been paying attention to them.

At this time, Zhou Ming was not short of money at all, and immediately sued the newborn QICQ company in court, and spent a lot of money to promote public opinion and start a public opinion war, which immediately made the newborn QICQ company a street rat in the Internet industry.

Zhou Ming knew that it was difficult to deal with Ma Huateng and a few people with the current law, but the pressure of public opinion was still very terrifying, and the ICQ company in the United States soon joined the prosecution of QICQ company, which immediately made the five Ma Huateng who had just started their business anxious.

"Old horse, what should we do next?"

"Hey! I don't know, either. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
