Chapter 1377 Brainstorm

   After a while, Zhang Yong knocked on the door and walked in.

   He looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, and asked, "Have we finished talking?"

   "It's over! But the topic is a little heavy, and it makes Dalong feel a little heavy.

   So I asked you to come over and give him some confidence together. "

   Zhang Yong smiled, then sat down next to Zhang Dalong, looked at the confused latter, and said, "Don't worry, Dalong, we have found a way to break through."

   Just when Zhang Dalong wanted to ask what the breakthrough path was, he noticed that Zhang Yong took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and placed it gently on the table.

   Looking at the mobile phone on the table, Zhang Dalong became even more puzzled, because it was not a revival FX2S, but an iPhone3GS.

   He suddenly remembered that both Xia Jingxing and Zhang Yong had mentioned that the mobile Internet is an opportunity presented by the times, a moment for industry reshuffle, and a golden opportunity for new companies to challenge old giants.

   Zhang Dalong did not go to get the mobile phone on the table, but looked up at Xia Jingxing and asked, "Mr. Xia, do you mean that we will develop an instant messaging application based on the mobile phone?"

"what you think?"

  Xia Jingxing looked at Zhang Dalong with a smile, and said, "You and the team have already developed a mobile email application, and you should have your own understanding of the mobile Internet."

  Zhang Dalong took a deep breath and replied: "To be honest, I think it is almost inevitable that the mobile terminal will replace the PC terminal to become the mainstream.

   However, this replacement process takes a certain amount of time. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled without saying a word, gave Zhang Yong a look, the latter understood, picked up the smart fruit phone on the table, swiped to unlock, and clicked the homepage application icon.

   As soon as he entered the app, Zhang Yong handed the phone to Zhang Dalong.

  The unknown Zhang Dalong took over the phone and focused his attention on the screen.

   The familiar UI interface, isn't it just the SMS chat interface!

   Wrong!

   Zhang Dalong quickly reacted, this is a mobile chat application.

   Zhang Dalong, who was interested, carefully checked the app, exited, re-entered, and then exited again... It was a lot of fun.

  Xia Jingxing and Zhang Yong did not make a sound to disturb Zhang Dalong, who was concentrating on researching mobile phone applications, and looked at the latter quietly.

During the    period, the two exchanged glances, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

   Because the more knowledgeable people you meet, the more interested you are in this mobile app.

  Looking at Zhang Dalong's devotion to research, he should have discovered some ways.

   After about ten minutes, Zhang Dalong finally put down his phone, and the first sentence he asked was: "This app is called WhatsApp, is it from abroad?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded and said, "Yes, it was developed by a small Silicon Valley company that was established earlier this year. What do you think of it?"

   "Not a good review."

   Zhang Dalong shook his head and said with a tangled expression: "There are a lot of application problems, but the creativity is a good one.

   The mobile phone address book is used as a pre-built social network, and the mobile phone number is used to log in at the same time, which is quite convenient to promote.

   In addition, it seems that there is nothing more convenient and fast than other IM software. "

  Xia Jingxing did not rush to refute Zhang Dalong's words, but talked about a new feature that both the latest smart fruit phones and Fuxing phones have - push notifications.

   "What do you think about adding this feature to a chat app?"

  Zhang Dalong suddenly realized: "Mr. Xia, do you mean to push the information received by the chat application to the notification bar?"

  Xia Jingxing snapped his fingers, "Yes, this is called instant messaging.

  Users do not need to stay on the chat application interface all the time, as long as the mobile phone is still in their hand, no matter what they are doing, they can immediately see the messages received by their mobile phones, and the information transmission efficiency is even more efficient than the current SMS.

   In addition, when users are using other applications, such as playing songs, watching movies, and browsing Facebook, after they see the chat message, they can use the multitasking management button to switch to the chat interface to reply to the message.

   After replying to the message, you can switch back to the original interface, continue to play the applications you are interested in, and chat and entertain. "

   Zhang Dalong took a deep breath, can he still play like this?

   He then thought about it, he can play games like this on a computer, chatting on QQ while playing games, why not a mobile phone.

  According to the development trend of smart phones, what computers can do in the end can basically be done by mobile phones.

   "According to your idea, Mr. Xia, text messages may eventually be replaced by mobile chat applications, because it is not as convenient and fast as the latter."

  Zhang Dalong's face was thoughtful. Through Xia Jingxing's call, he vaguely saw a new world where countless people were chatting on mobile apps, sending and receiving billions and tens of billions of messages every day.

   feels far away, yet within reach.

  Xia Jingxing continued to inspire Zhang Dalong and said, "What if you add a voice chat and call function to the mobile chat application?"

   Zhang Dalong's eyeballs stared at the boss, grabbing the telecommunications company's text message business is not counted, but also to take over the call business? It's really scary!

   He finally knew why Xia Jingxing was so confident in defeating Penguin.

Although   QQ is strong, it is not strong enough to replace most of the daily text messages and calls.

   But WeChat builds an acquaintance social network based on the address book, basically putting all acquaintances, relatives and friends into a small mobile application, text messages, voice messages, voice chat...

   Thinking of this, Zhang Dalong's thinking completely diverged, and he took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Xia, can you also add the picture and video sending function?"

   "Of course, you can also add the file sending function."

   "Oh, Mr. Xia, can you also consider adding video calls?"

   "Of course you can join, and even support multi-person video calls. But you have to take it step by step, you can't eat a big fat man in one breath. The simpler the initial version, the better, so that the operation is easy to use, and it is also easy to spread and promote."

   "I understand that users need a period of adaptation, functions have to be increased little by little, and also consider whether the network infrastructure is up to standard."

  …

  Xia Jingxing and Zhang Dalong started brainstorming, you asked me a quick dialogue.

   Zhang Yong watched this scene with a smile on the side. He was looking forward to the social pan-entertainment empire for many years finally taking this solid step. As long as he stepped over it, he would be able to see a different world.

   In the past, QQ floated above the head of the domestic holding group like a nightmare. Whether it was the Weibo business that ranked first, or the game business that beat the crowd, it did not bring much sense of security to Zhang Yong.

   Before he officially joined the domestic holding company, he had already seen the false fire of this Internet company.

  There is no instant messaging service to attract and precipitate users, no matter how lush the branches and leaves grow, the roots rooted in the ground are always unstable and cannot withstand the wind and rain.

  Penguin does not look weak now, but as long as the huge QQ users are not lost, there will always be a chance for a comeback.

   When Xia Jingxing invited him to be the CEO of Domestic Holdings, he had an in-depth exchange of views on instant messaging with him.

   At that time, because the time was not ripe, we could only dormant temporarily.

   Now that the tide of mobile Internet has come completely, the time to make up for the last shortcoming of Shanghai Inland Holdings has officially come.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Yong felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

   Seeing that the brainstorming between Xia Jingxing and Zhang Dalong was over, he interjected: "Mr. Xia, Dalong, now the mobile social entrepreneurship abroad has been born, we must hurry up and not fall behind them."

   Zhang Dalong nodded.

  Xia Jingxing has a different view on this, saying: "Because 3G networks have been popularized earlier in foreign countries, and the coverage rate of smartphones is also higher than that in China, their mobile application development is slightly faster than ours.

   The current number of smart phones in China is still too small. Rough statistics, it may only be 10 million units. By the end of this year, it may reach 20 million units.

   This volume is still too small, even if we take it all down, it will not be able to compete with QQ, which has hundreds of millions of users.

  At the same time, if we are too early to go online on WeChat, according to the importance and anger value of Pony Horse and Penguin, it is definitely better to make a mistake than to let it go.

   Therefore, the killer app of WeChat cannot be exposed for the time being, and products need to be developed and polished in secret. "

   Having said this, Xia Jingxing glanced at Zhang Dalong, who nodded to show his understanding.

  Xia Jingxing continued: "Dalong, the focus of your next work is WeChat, and you will personally lead the formation of an elite secret research and development team.

   In order to prevent the leakage of information, you may have to come to the Beijing headquarters to work for a period of time, and I will give you a promotion to become the vice president of the group.

  For the domestic mailbox, it will be handed over to others. "

  Zhang Dalong nodded hurriedly, "Mr. Xia, as long as you let me bring the WeChat project, no matter how it is arranged."

  Xia Jingxing and Zhang Yong looked at each other and both laughed.

   "Okay, let's arrange it like that!"

  Xia Jingxing suddenly remembered something, and added: "Let's give this action a code name, what's it called?"

   Zhang Yong said, "Why don't you call him Optimus Prime? Let's turn into an Autobot for Pony Horse, and catching a fat penguin will be a fat beating."

  Xia Jingxing listened to the music, "Okay, it's called the Optimus Prime Project!"

   After that, Xia Jingxing patted Zhang Dalong on the shoulder, "The earth will be handed over to you to protect it!"

  Zhang Dalong smiled, "Okay, I must complete this glorious and arduous task."
