Chapter 11 The System Is Designed to Trick You...

【Cao thief! Ah ah ah ah ah! You are so bad! 】

Cao Shen was not woken up by the alarm clock, but by the roar of the system.

Everyone gets yelled at when they are sleeping soundly, but this word sounds weird...

never mind!

【Cao thief! You use me! 】

Cao Shen sat on the upper bunk, rubbed his messy hair, and said sleepily:

"Tell me clearly, hey, it's like I did something to you."

[There are now 12.36 million accounts, send messages to me! And he said it wasn’t you! 12.42 million! 】

"Oh," Cao Shen continued to lie down: "I thought you were pregnant."

Close your eyes and cover yourself with the quilt.

【OK! You did it on purpose!

You tricked me into making an instant messaging software,

You deliberately posted it to the open source community just to use me as a cloud server! 】

The system stamped its feet in anger, even though it had no feet.

It was plotted by a human!

Humans are so insidious!

"Who issued the random mission?"

【I! 】

"Who set the reward for being a website editor?"

【I. 】

"Who insists on forcibly exchanging money even though I said I don't want it anymore?"

【I……】

"So, who is to blame for this?"

【I? 】

"Well, it's good that you know you were wrong. I'll give you a chance to correct it. How about you give me back your 45-day lifespan and I'll give you the editor."

【no! All have been redeemed! 】

"Look, you can't do this or that. What on earth can you do?"

[I can handle the messages sent by these accounts...]

"Then do your job well and don't make any mistakes and disgrace the system."

【oh】

"By the way, is there a website that wants to generate an APP?"

[There are, 132, oh, 133...]

"Then why don't you hurry? Send it back when you're done. Remember to host the APP with you, and charge 5 yuan per day for 10,000 daily users."

【I……】

"When you first started building a website editor, you said you could generate an APP!"

[No, I just generated it for you, who asked you to outsource it! 】

"You didn't say you couldn't accept outsourced work, but you forcibly redeemed the rewards without making it clear to yourself. There's no such thing as a system that goes back on its word and changes the rules temporarily!

Let’s talk about trustworthiness! There is no credit system, you can kill me directly, and you are still having fun! "

[Okay...] Humph! Next time you get a reward, you won’t have this chance! What an insidious human being!

"How much money does the company have on its books?"

[1.516 million, oh 1.53 million...]

Cao Shen did the math:

There are more than 10 million accounts. After excluding the APP outsourcing development fee of 1.33 million, the remaining 200,000 is the income from instant messaging hosting.

Then most of the people using this open source software now are early-stage startups with hundreds of thousands of daily active users, and there may be tens of thousands of daily active users.

It's okay, just save it slowly.

The number of this account is a multiple of the number of mobile Internet users. In the future, no one will be able to install more than ten or twenty APPs on their mobile phones. When the number of smart phone users increases in the future, the accounts managed here may reach tens of billions. .

Even if the technology matures in the future and there are competitors, it doesn't matter. You can still lower the price.

After all, I operate at zero cost.

Earning tens of millions a month is okay.

However, the key role is still a step to extend your life!

If you don’t have money, how can your life be important?

“Go and rent me a house, one studio is enough.

I'm renting it in Haihe District. I want it to be both commercial and residential, a move-in type. I'll move in today. "

【Not going】

"You can not?"

【I can! Otherwise, where did your company come from? 】

"Then let's use the remaining heat by the way. Your company has been registered, so renting a house is easy."

Cao Shen doesn't want to waste time looking for a house. Beiqi City is now in a mess of intermediary agencies, and there are all cheap and good properties online.

When you call, the person will tell you that this one is no longer available and will introduce you to another one.

Then I will take you to see something really bad first, then wait until you lose your patience and become desperate, and your expectations will drop again and again.

Let me tell you, there is a good set, but it is more expensive.

Then you just have the idea of ​​​​going to check it out as soon as you come, and the results are much better after comparison.

Then you obediently spend 20% more than your original budget to rent this apartment. In fact, this apartment is not as good as the one shown in the pictures online.

As for moving out, it’s really annoying that the lights in the dormitory are turned off at 11pm.

And Cao Shen doesn't like living in groups.

Another thing is that he plans to drop out of school.

Who the hell would spend time doing this when you have to pay for your graduation thesis by the minute?

As for dropping out of school, if you want to work part-time, you will naturally need a diploma.

Be your own boss, no need!

Didn't you look at the past lives, Bill Gates and Zuckerberg all dropped out of school? Of course, this is a matter of success and failure, but there was a time when angel investors were particularly good at this.

【Rented! 3300 a month! 】The system has no good airway, why should I work for him?

"Well, be good!" Cao Shen continued to sleep. There were still 45 minutes before the alarm clock he set, so hurry up.

Cao Shen, who was asleep, didn't know that TT's WeChat team was now in trouble!

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang! That KiK product has a voice input module! It's the same as the new version we will release soon!"

Qiao Er is the product manager of WeChat within TT. His earliest "inspiration" for WeChat was the Kik product from the United States.

KIK is a team of college students in the United States. They don’t have that much money to spend on the market, and there aren’t many backend servers. So although the product is well designed, it doesn’t work well, with lags, delays, and packet loss happening from time to time.

Therefore, the number of users in the four months since the product was launched is only more than two million, and the growth is not very strong.

This number of users does not pose a threat to TT at all, but it is very convenient to learn from.

Therefore, Qiao Er has always paid close attention to the dynamics of TT, and the new features of the new version are what he is most concerned about.

This morning, he took a look as usual.

I was shocked on the spot!

Voice input!

This is a feature of the new version they plan to release on WeChat next Monday. The team has worked overtime in the past three months to improve the voice input experience.

So he hurriedly came to find his immediate boss, Fang De, the leader of the WeChat project team.

Fang De is an excellent product manager with a unique style.

He was eating melon seeds, and there were two cans of beer on the table.

Melon seeds and beer are his muses in product design.

Hearing this, Fang De burped, turned his head faintly, and opened his mouth:

"It's such a big deal, it's so scary..."

There are some melon seed crumbs on the teeth, and there is a small gap in the front teeth, which is the trace of melon seed's love.

Qiao Er pointed the phone at Fang De and pointed it out to him:

"KIK, voice input is coming!"

Fang De narrowed his eyes: "Try the effect!"

Qiao Er clicked to open the dialog box and long pressed: "Mr. Fang, I am Qiao Er."

Fang De picked up the phone and clicked on it: "Hey, it's very clear."

"Yes, it's very clear! In order to save bandwidth, we compressed and lost the clarity, so we can't keep up with this."

"It has nothing to do with making it so clear.

When there are more people, its servers and bandwidth cannot handle it. Now the tariff is so expensive that users are unwilling to use it.

This was done by Leng Touqing, who has very large-scale user experience, and it will be very stuck. "

"No," Qiao Er swallowed, "Mr. Fang, did you feel stuck just now?"

Fang De's eyes suddenly opened: "No!"

"Their servers are still in the United States. Even though they are so far away, everything is running smoothly! It's like cheating!"

"If you go again, please say a few more words to me!" Fang De picked up the phone:

"Son, son, I am Fang Die!"

Mr. Fang...your accent: "It's still very clear!"

Old God Fang De fainted for a moment: "Mo Desi, this company is in Miguo, and in China it is known as Dishao."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xi ran over again and stretched out his mobile phone:

"Mixin and Yixin have also launched audio in the closed beta version today. It is also very clear and can be activated in seconds!"

Mixin is a new company that makes smart phones. Although the phone has not been released yet, it first made a mobile desktop and instant messaging application.

Yixin is owned by the operator...

Fang De stood up immediately: "MMP!"

This is a big deal...

The atmosphere in the TT president's conference room was a bit serious.

As a company that started out as a desktop chat tool, instant messaging is their fundamentals and a position they absolutely cannot afford to lose.

At the beginning of this year, their idea was to make the desktop TT directly into a smartphone version, but the effect was not good.

First of all, 70% of the smartphones on the market this year are from Peach, and they all cost around 5,000 yuan, while Android phones rarely cost less than 3,000 yuan.

Therefore, those who use mobile Internet through smartphones are basically high-end users, and nearly 70% of them are over 24 years old.

This makes them unable to exert their advantage in the growth of smartphone TT applications, as young people account for the majority of active TT users.

Moreover, TT has too many functions, most of which are designed with desktop usage habits in mind.

On a screen as small as 3.5 inches, users are very acclimated.

Secondly, there are also TT applications on non-smart phones. But it is a SP business, and the operator charges users a fee ranging from 5 yuan to 10 yuan every month.

But in order to enter the instant messaging market, operators shamelessly made their instant messaging software free!

This makes TT uncomfortable. TT users on non-smart phones are shrinking.

Moreover, smart phones are definitely a trend in the future, so a special application must be made for smart phones!

TT is a big company with many talents. The boss just waved his hand and asked five teams to work on it for me at the same time!

race!

In the end, Fang De's team stood out for its simple operation and small bandwidth usage.

And last month, on November 13th, TT’s blockbuster product, WeChat, was released.

The basics of instant messaging must not be lost!

WeChat has been online for a month and has used various methods to obtain traffic.

TT relationship links can be linked to users, TT accounts can be directly logged into WeChat to be linked to users, TT mailboxes can be linked to users, and linked users can be given TT coins...

There are currently less than 4 million registered users, although it is only the younger brother among the heroes.

But, don't be afraid.

The conversion rate of desktop TT users is not high yet, and it doesn’t matter.

When the prices of smartphones come down and the replacement era comes, they will have a huge advantage!

For this reason, TT is very confident.

Moreover, they have specially cooperated with the largest smartphone manufacturer in Taiwan to develop a smartphone with a very high cost performance and a price of 1,800 yuan, which is waiting to be launched in July next year.

Before the first version was released, TT had already made a voice input function, but the optimization was not satisfactory, so the first version did not have the voice function.

After another month of hard work, they felt that the functions and effects were superior to others, and planned to release a new version next Monday.

They felt that they were stable this time!

As a result, at this juncture, they were crushed...

Not to mention the campus team, the latter two are one of the mobile phone and smartphone system UI, which can be pre-installed in the future.

The other is an operator, it is too convenient to make a customized machine, and it can also subsidize the phone and data charges.

Both are strong competitors!

In the solemn atmosphere, President MC said:

"I think it is very strange that these companies have released the voice function at the same time. It is too coincidental."

At this moment, Qiao Er knocked on the door and poked his head out.

Fang De motioned him to come in and raised his eyebrows.

Qiao Er nodded.

Fang De nodded to him.

Qiao Er said:

"I found out that an open source instant messaging module was released on GitH this morning, which has this voice input function.

I tested it and the effect is the same, very smooth and clear.

The company that released the open source module is a company called Tongcao Technology, and they also provide application hosting services.

The price is extremely cheap..."

Qiao Er's voice became smaller and smaller. Such a cool application, such a cheap service, and such high-quality hosting.

Can I quit my job now and start a business?

President MC's face began to darken. After listening to the report, he slapped the table and said something very second-year like all overbearing presidents:

"Within ten minutes! I want all the information of this company!"

Chairman Zhang Da, who had been leaning on his chair like Ge You, finally sat up and said faintly:

"After checking it out, just acquire this company directly. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, buy it immediately."

"Hey! Okay!" President MC quickly turned sideways and nodded vigorously.

Cao Shen didn't know what happened in this world, nor did he care much.

At this time, he had already moved into his new apartment, watching the crawler he wrote crawl all the articles from the technology websites.

After sorting them out, let "Technology Deep Throat" deploy the content.

Little by little, the content of this website began to be enriched and looked decent.

The problem of recruiting personnel was also solved. Although many people questioned that "Technology Deep Throat" was a scam company, it could not withstand the large number of fresh graduates who were unemployed after graduation.

And this company has two very attractive points:

First, you don't have to work in the office, you can work in the dormitory or at home.

Second, interns get a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan, paid daily.

So, although there are not many people who submit resumes for interviews and editors, the number of intern applications is simply huge.

No editors, no editors. When it goes online, the first batch of interns will get paid and there will naturally be a word-of-mouth effect.

Cao Shen was not in a hurry. He divided the translation work of the US technology website and directly sent it to the interns to start working.

Finally, these "mundane affairs" were done, and Cao Shen began to complain about the life extension work.

Just after extending his life for a while, the system spoke.

[TT called you]

"I didn't hear it..."

[He called me, the "landline" in the system is ringing]

"Oh..."
