Chapter 78 Jumping Across the Red Line

Things are a bit tricky...

Just when I was thinking about how to deal with it, Xiao Gang called.

"Cao Shen, you've been in the limelight recently."

"Haha, I'm just lucky and the timing is good." The issue of individual angel investors at Yourong Technology has just been resolved, and Cao Shen is thinking about talking to Xiao Gang these two days.

"I just arrived in Beiji, come with me to the ministry." Xiao Gang's tone was not serious.

"Do you know about my affairs?" Xiao Gang and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology are classmates. Although Cao Shen was just notified by Zhang Fei to have tea, Xiao Gang should have received the news earlier in theory.

"Well, I know, so I came here specially to accompany you. You are still young, and there are some things above that I'm afraid you can't handle." Xiao Gang's voice was a little smiling.

Cao Shen suddenly felt warm in his heart, and the face of Boss Xiao in his memory suddenly became kind.

Oh, no, with Boss Xiao's appearance, the word kind is not appropriate, anyway, it just adds a kind of buff that Cao Shen is very moved.

"Oh, OK, thanks for your support, boss. Should I go to the department to wait for you directly, or should we meet somewhere first?" Cao Shen said.

"Come down, I'm downstairs."

When Cao Shen went out, the little princess stood up at the door and clung to his legs: "giao!giao!"

Mr. Cao nodded, reached out and touched the little princess's head:

"I understand, cut them!

You stay at home and watch the door, dad will come back and give you dried fish!"

"giao!o!giao!"

Cao Shen entered the elevator and rolled up his sleeves, and suddenly found several holes on his sleeves, little princess! When did you scratch it...

Looking at the translucent holes, this proves that I am also a cat person!

I went downstairs and took a look.

Prince Charming, oh, no, Boss Xiao took a white Bentley today, and the license plate number was full of 666.

Seeing Cao Shen, the car door opened automatically. Cao Shen leaned over and got into the back seat.

Boss Xiao was as energetic as ever, and the driver was a young man, about twenty-five or twenty-six.

"Let me introduce you," Boss Xiao turned around and pointed at the driver and said to Cao Shen: "Cen Feng, a partner of Jiuxuan Investment."

Cen Feng stared at Cao Shen with burning eyes, stretched out his hands and held his hands: "I have heard of you for a long time! You are as young as me, hahahaha."

Cao Shen also nodded and smiled: "Nice to meet you, Jiuxuan Investment is well-known."

Jiuxuan Investment is a mid-to-late-stage equity investment fund with a very strong background. As for Mr. Cen who was driving, his background is beyond words. Not only his grandfather is powerful, but his father is also powerful. And the second in command of this key department he went to today is his father-in-law.

No wonder today's car and license plate are not Xiao Gang's style. It seems that this time he really hitched a ride.

In the investment circle, there are actually many people with backgrounds like Mr. Cen who have ended up. First, the identity of investors is more glamorous, and second, because they have resources and can make money work. Money and power have always been a family since ancient times.

Looking at the driver, Cao Shen felt that there would be no big problem today. Looking at Boss Xiao, his heart was moved again.

The car was moving slowly, and Boss Xiao pointed to the back seat:

"I was thinking that you technicians are used to wearing T-shirts on weekdays, so I brought you a shirt."

Cao Shen took the box on the back seat, opened it, and put on the shirt: "Wear yours, yours is much better than mine! Rub it!"

Xiao Gang looked back and said: "Okay, the size is quite suitable."

The shirt that Boss Xiao gave was not branded, but there was only a traditional Chinese name embroidered on the inner label, which should be the name of the master who made this shirt. Just by touching the material, you can know that the goods are good.

This is probably brought from Hong Kong, which actually retains many handmade custom workshops.

When most people hear about customization, they think it is very expensive. In fact, these workshops are very cost-effective. You can order a three-piece suit for just over a thousand yuan, and you can spend hundreds of thousands of yuan. The key lies in the fabric and the master you choose.

But in general, it is cheaper than many pseudo-big brands of the same material, because there is no big marketing cost, and it all depends on word of mouth.

Cen Feng, who was driving, spoke: "Boss Cao, today we are talking about several operators." Cao Shen understood clearly. As Zhang Fei said, it was bigger than TT Technology. One company was enough, but now several companies are all here. Cao Shen expected that the operators would find fault. He had prepared for this for a long time, gradually promoting the three applications of games, network disk, and photography, and filling the user base as much as possible, and then using Youxin to set it on fire, so that the user base would not grow gradually but suddenly increase. All the preparations were to make Tongcao Technology suddenly become a giant company, at least it looked giant from the user base. This made it necessary for the operators to work harder when they wanted to deal with him, instead of being strangled as a small company. That was why he had the opportunity to negotiate with the ministry today. He did all this just to earn this face for himself, so that he could get on the table with chips. Cen Feng continued: "There are mainly two issues this time. First, your Youxin increases registrations by matching user address books. You are the first in China to do this. Although there was no explicit prohibition earlier, everyone has a consensus that this address book is personal privacy data and it is not good to do this."

Cao Shen had not realized this before, because the original world was an application that requested to read the address book and add acquaintances and friends. Now think about it carefully, yes, Weihua and Mixin don’t seem to do this, no wonder the user growth is so slow.

Recalling it carefully, WeChat seemed to be unable to read the address book at the beginning, and there should have been this problem in the early days, but they were awesome and solved it, and later it was extended to all apps.

I was really careless about this matter. It’s only 2011, and there is no Jack Ma to solve it, so...

Is it solved by myself?

Seeing Cao Shen thinking, Cen Feng smiled and said:

"In fact, the operators wanted to read the address book before, but they strongly opposed it, so they didn't do it.

The fundamental reason here is that the fundamental purpose of the operators to engage in instant messaging is to promote their own mobile phone accounts. For example, Xindian wants Tonglian users to switch to their own network, so they set up Yixin.

Yixin can only be used with Xindian's mobile phone numbers. If you are a Tonglian user who wants to use Yixin, you have to switch to my Xindian mobile phone number.

The three operators have the same purpose, so their instant messaging applications are closed.

At this time, if you can attract users by reading the address book, and the people in the address book are mobile phone numbers of different operators, this way of attracting users will make no one accept it, which is equivalent to you going to someone else's territory every day to harass advertisements.

So, the three operators finally reached an agreement not to read the address book."

Cao Cao nodded, there is such a source. He is now doing what the operator wants to do but cannot do, no wonder it attracts hatred. However, this also indirectly shows that the closed system of operators has no chance of developing instant messaging.

In order to contact friends with different operator mobile numbers, users have to prepare three mobile phones, three mobile numbers, and download three apps! Isn't this ridiculous?

Cen Feng continued: "The second problem seems to be more serious. Your Youxin can send messages for free, and you can also make voice calls. This is a direct impact on the operator's SMS and phone services. You have touched their foundation."
