Chapter Thirty-Five: Class Battle

"Dear students, I believe everyone knows that our computer science department of Wuhan University is different from other universities. In addition to submitting a personal thesis after graduation, we also have to submit a team work. This work can be software or a website... In short, everyone can assign tasks according to what they have learned, and work together to complete this work. I have told everyone before, I wonder how everyone has prepared in the recent period of time?"

Professor Huang Hai, Class 3 of the 1998 Computer Science Department of Wuhan University, was ready to touch the bottom of the students as soon as he took the class.

Of course, the bottom line does not mean that a group of students should complete the work now, but at least you have to think about it.

"Professor Huang, the six of us are going to develop an instant messenger."

A classmate named "Lin Qifeng" stood up and said to Professor Huang.

"Oh, instant messaging is a relatively promising software. How are you preparing?"

Professor Huang was more interested when he heard it.

At present, the most popular software on the Internet is naturally instant messaging QQ.

It can be said that since QQ came into being, he has really changed the way of communication for many people.

Professor Huang is using QQ.

"Professor Huang, at present we have divided our work. I do the interface design, and Li Nan does the backstage..."

"What about the function?"

"The function is basically the same as the current mainstream instant messenger, but we have also made a more interesting function."

"What function?"

"Network storage."

"That's kind of interesting."

Professor Huang Hai nodded and praised the student named "Lin Qifeng".

In fact, instant messaging software is not difficult to do, and his program is not complicated. Students in the computer department of ordinary universities may not be able to complete such a software, but for students from the top ten universities, it is not too difficult.

However, the procedure is not complicated, but the complexity is how to generalize.

Huang Hai would really like to hear whether this student Lin Qifeng has any ideas for promotion and operation: "Student Lin Qifeng, I don't know if your instant messaging software has any idea of ​​bringing it to the market."

"We're already working on a plan for this."

Speaking of this, Lin Qifeng was a little excited and said: "We have contacted Xinlang, and Xinlang expressed interest. And it has invested 100,000 yuan in us first, and this 100,000 yuan does not account for our investment. If our development is successful, Xinlang will give priority to acquisition."

"good very good."

Huang Hai was greatly relieved: "Yes, Lin Qifeng, I hope you will continue to do so."

The portal giant Xinlang can get the attention of the portal giant Xinlang before graduating from university. Although it is nothing to invest only 100,000 yuan, and even Xinlang may not care much, it at least shows that these students have taken a very successful step. Even the "Lei Jun" who graduated from Wuhan University back then was just like that.

"Let's continue, classmates, I won't name names, you can talk about it one by one."

After Lin Qifeng, many students also stood up one after another and reported to Professor Huang Hai the works they were preparing recently.

It's just a pity, maybe Lin Qifeng's instant messaging is too good, and the works of the remaining students are far from Lin Qifeng's. Huang Hai only gave a symbolic encouragement and gave some comments.

"By the way, Wang Chang, you've never been the most active one. Why didn't you speak today? In the end, you're the only ones left."

Although Huang Hai is a professor, he is very easy-going in class.

Wang Chang is the study committee member of the class, and he has outstanding ability. He has experience in internships in large companies before.

It can be said that Huang Hai still values ​​Wang Chang very much.

"Professor Huang, just now I just wanted to hear the works of your classmates."

"Looks like it's intentional to make it the finale, Wang Chang, what are you preparing for this time?

Bring it to share with you? "

"Our work is a virtual item trading site."

"Virtual items, the word is a bit new, let's be specific."

"It's just a game website. On this website, we provide game equipment, gold coins, skill books... and other virtual items. Of course, we are not only a game trading platform. Through this platform, we will also There can be many other developments.”

Of course, 5173 can't only trade virtual items.

Chen Yu's positioning is to be a game portal.

However, before becoming a game portal, Chen Yu needed virtual item trading to attract popularity.

Once it attracts popularity, it begins to develop in the direction of the game portal.

Therefore, Chen Yu also had stricter requirements for Wang Chang and the others when they designed the 5173.

At least in the design of the entire website framework, you have to leave room for expansion later.

Can't wait for the future to be a portal, and then knock it down and start all over again.

Fortunately, Wang Chang and the others have good skills, which did not stymie them.

However, before Wang Chang finished speaking, Lin Qifeng smiled on the side and said, "Wang Chang, I thought you prepared some big killer, but I didn't expect to start a game website."

"What, Lin Qifeng, what's your opinion?"

"No problem. I just think it's too petty for you to build such a website. If you don't have a good project, you might as well join our team."

"No, I think our game site is pretty good."

"Haha, classmate Wang Chang, I think your direction is wrong. Game websites don't have a future. The promising ones are instant messaging, office software, antivirus software... these are some of the things."

"I don't think so. Although instant messaging software, office software, and antivirus software are good, I also have to say that our gaming website is not bad. Besides, your instant messaging software is just a copy of QQ."

"Copying QQ, how can we do this kind of unskilled thing? Sorry, I didn't mention that our instant messaging has several more important functions. I believe that these functions are introduced to the market, and Xinlang's investment is also involved. Not to mention defeating QQ, at least half of its market can be seized. On the contrary, it is your game website, not because I despise game websites. There is no well-known game website in the market. Besides, not to mention game websites, even games are not profitable. If you don’t even make money from games, why do your game websites make money?”

Not long after the birth of online games in 2001, not many people can see the game's ability to attract money.

Although there are "Millennium", "King of Kings" and "Stone Age" in front.

But some of these games did not explode, and some just ran for a while and then closed down.

Even if the legendary future is hot, it is only the future.

The temporary legend has only just been tested, and the profit has not been announced to the outside world, and the outside world has no way of knowing.

However, when Wang Chang did a survey of Internet cafes before, she saw the earning power of online games.

In addition, chatting with Chen Yu on QQ recently, and being called by Chen Yu from time to time, he is more and more optimistic about online games.

"Online games will be the most profitable Internet products in recent years, killing all existence..."

This is what Chen Yu said to Wang Chang before.

"I can only say that your vision is too backward. The Internet is developing so fast that we can't keep up. You can't imagine the earning power of online games."

"Well, let's take a bet."

"Bet what?"

"After three months, we'll see whose work is better."

"Can."

"Don't promise so early, what if you lose?"

"you say."

"If you lose, be my girlfriend."

As soon as Lin Qifeng said it, countless people in the class exploded.

"it is good."

Wang Chang gritted his teeth and replied, "But if you lose, go as far as you can."
