Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 256 The Miracle of a Lonely Man (Two in One)

When Zhang Xiaolong opened the door and walked in, he was casually wearing a simple jumper and jeans. The lazy expression on his face made him look like he had just woken up. Fortunately, he didn't take off his shoes.

Some people seem to be very introverted from the outside, but Zhang Xiaolong is a very introverted person, bored and doesn't like to talk!

Even when Zhang Xiaolong participated in the reunion of college classmates, there were 33 people in the class, several of them couldn't pronounce his name, and even a few of them didn't know him at all.
Zhang Xiaolong, who is naturally cold, has always been a social loser. To put it bluntly, he is "a fart that can't be kicked with three legs",
But no one expected that Zhang Xiaolong, who was a social loser, developed a social app called "WeChat" and created a Tencent empire.

Even Zhang Xiaolong laughed at himself: "Most of the creations in the world come from people who are desperate for their looks. But I, a social loser, actually started a social software."

However, Zhang Xiaolong also believes that social products are invented by lonely people, and only emotional and sensitive people can make them.Perhaps the person looking up at the earth in the WeChat startup image may be a microcosm of Zhang Xiaolong.

Therefore, when Zhang Xiaolong opened the door and came in, the atmosphere in the whole box seemed to freeze suddenly, and when Zhang Xiaolong saw Zhao Qiming again, he nodded to Zhao Qiming first, then found a seat and sat down directly.

Yes, without saying anything, Zhang Xiaolong went straight to the corner and sat down silently!
And after Zhang Xiaolong came in, everyone stopped talking, it was like a "halo of silence", not to mention other people, if Li Feng hadn't met Zhang Xiaolong on the Internet in his previous life, he would have doubted whether this kind of person could be in the world. It is a bit "crazy" to survive in a humane society like China.

However, Zhao Qiming still bit the bullet and introduced Li Feng and others to Zhang Xiaolong. Except for Li Feng, Liu Zhiping and the others didn't look too good. You are a loser, what right do you have to show off!

On the contrary, Li Feng knew a little bit about Zhang Xiaolong's temperament. He knew that he was very introverted and liked to sleep in late, and he liked to sleep until twelve o'clock at noon.

But when Zhao Qiming introduced Li Feng, Zhang Xiaolong's eyes lit up, and he took another deep look at Li Feng,
Li Feng greeted Zhang Xiaolong warmly, "Hi, Zhang Xiaolong, nice to meet you", but Zhang Xiaolong only nodded to Li Feng in reply.

As a result, after Zhang Xiaolong entered, for a long time, the atmosphere in the box was a bit cold.

After Zhang Xiaolong sat down, the first thing he finally said was: "Can I smoke?"

Zhang Xiaolong has two major hobbies, rock and cigarettes. These two hobbies are also habits that Zhang Xiaolong has had since programming. He forgot to spend many sleepless nights alone in cigarettes and rock music, and Zhang Xiaolong always smokes only KENT (Wrigley) cigarettes.

Hearing Zhang Xiaolong's unreasonable request, Liu Zhiping was a little angry. This spoiled person came so late and didn't say anything, as if it was a matter of course, and sat down casually as soon as he came in, without saying anything or saying hello, and now He also proposed to smoke, Liu Zhiping was about to explode!
Just when Liu Zhiping was about to say a few words about Zhang Xiaolong, he was stopped by Li Feng. Li Feng waved his hand directly, indicating that there is no need. : "It's okay, you can smoke whatever you want!"

After hearing Li Feng's reply, Zhang Xiaolong also unhurriedly opened his favorite KENT (Wrigley) cigarette case, gently took out one, lit it, and slowly started smoking.

But Zhang Xiaolong handed the cigarette case to Li Feng again, "Do you smoke?"

Li Feng waved his hand, "I rarely smoke, and I never smoke on formal occasions!"

Li Feng usually inhales two sticks occasionally only when drinking with friends, and it is also a "fake inhalation", directly inhaling it, and then spitting it out directly, without entering the lungs.

And Zhang Xiaolong handed it forward again, "That's sucking!"

"Eh..." Seeing that Zhang Xiaolong had been holding his hand up, Li Feng had no choice but to take out one and light it.

After Li Feng took a sip, Zhang Xiaolong didn't hide it, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Li, why did you buy our Foxmail mailbox? And since you have already bought Foxmail mailbox, why do you still have to buy it?" Where should I join?"

Zhang Xiaolong spoke very directly, but also a little embarrassed, and felt like questioning Li Feng, which was very choking. Therefore, after Zhang Xiaolong finished speaking, Li Feng hadn't spoken yet. Liu Zhiping couldn't bear it anymore, and asked directly: "Our Feng Rui Do you still need to report to you who is acquired? And..."

Before Liu Zhiping finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Feng, and Li Feng gave his answer directly, "Because your Foxmail mailbox user physical examination is very good. Although there are some functions, our YY mailbox is also doing it, but found that In many ways, it is still not as good as you do!"

"User physical examination?!"

Zhang Xiaolong said in surprise, this was the first time that Zhang Xiaolong's silent face had changed.

Nowadays, few people talk about user physical examination, so when Li Feng said this word, Zhang Xiaolong didn't react.

However, although Zhang Xiaolong didn't know the word, Foxmail did a good job in user physical examination. This is because Zhang Xiaolong unconsciously simulated user behavior, but he didn't know it was called user physical examination.

When it comes to user physical examination, Jobs has almost achieved the ultimate.Although Apple has few real innovations, Apple's minimalism, the same function is placed on Apple, it is different.

There was an experiment in which an iPad was given to a little boy who had never seen a computer or an iPad, and the little boy started to use it on his own intuition without any guidance. I swipe my finger across the screen, launch the app, and happily play pinball on the sidelines.

Li Feng knows that Zhang Xiaolong is a typical "technical nerd", and even a bit "a technical nerd among technical nerds". For such a "technical nerd", Li Feng also patiently explained: "User experience is the user experience in the process of using the product. A purely subjective feeling.

Internet-based products are not like traditional software development, where a CD is carved and released immediately. Internet-based products are always beta (test) versions, and they need to be upgraded quickly, perhaps every two or three days. Changes, but also not only to listen to forums, user feedback, and then determine your follow-up improvement direction.

Therefore, if you want to become an excellent product manager, you must first learn to treat yourself as a very picky user.This is my understanding of user physical examination. "

After Zhang Xiaolong listened to Li Feng's explanation, he also had a feeling of enlightenment, as if he had figured out many things that he didn't understand before.

Zhang Xiaolong sincerely said to Li Feng: "Thank you!" No wonder Fengrui can achieve such a great success, and it is not without reason.

At this time, when Li Feng invited Zhang Xiaolong to join Fengrui, he said euphemistically again, "Actually, Xiaolong, although I don't know anything about programming, I still have some ideas about products." , we can communicate more in the future.”

Although what Li Feng said is still modest, but who doesn’t know that the most powerful product manager in China is Li Feng, and this is also Fengrui’s strength. Just look at the super products created by Li Feng, YY, Renren.com , Bat network administrator... and Zhang Xiaolong only had a Foxmail mailbox, and he was forced to sell it.

But Zhang Xiaolong still doesn't want to join Fengrui, maybe he is really used to this kind of lonely life.

Regarding this, Zhang Xiaolong said to Li Feng: "Mr. Li, thank you very much for your kindness. I am used to being alone, and I don't want to leave here. If there is a chance, we will communicate."

Li Feng knew what Zhang Xiaolong meant, and probably like Hua Jun, he was unwilling to leave his homeland. Regarding this, Li Feng said lightly: "I guess you don't want to leave here, but it doesn't matter. I can set up another R&D center in Guangzhou. When the time comes I asked you to be directly responsible, and you only need to come to Yanjing every Tuesday and attend a president meeting, how about it?"

To be honest, with such good conditions for setting up a research and development center for one person alone, Li Feng is enough to be a virtuous corporal, and it feels a bit like Liu Bei "visiting thatched cottage three times".

However, Zhang Xiaolong still refused, "I don't want to go to Yanjing every Tuesday, it's too troublesome."

Li Feng asked: "Why? The meeting itself is also a kind of communication, and you can also know what the company's next strategic layout will focus on?"

Zhang Xiaolong said lightly: "I think it's a waste of time to attend the meeting. Of course, I have no objection to the meeting, as long as I'm not present. More importantly, I don't want to go to Yanjing every Tuesday."

Li Feng said: "If this is not the case, the speed of the Internet is also fast now. At that time, I will specially develop a YY enterprise version with video office. Then you can directly participate in the conference in Guangzhou, and you will be fine. Don't come to Yanjing either." .”

Zhang Xiaolong said: "Then I can't participate, I can't get up."

Li Feng smiled and said: "It's okay, I also like to sleep in, we usually start at 10 o'clock,"

But Zhang Xiaolong said: "I still can't get up! I usually get up at 12 o'clock!"

"Uh..." Li Feng felt that he was already lazy enough, but he didn't expect anyone to be more lazy than himself.

Li Feng said: "Then I will ask the secretary to wake you up."

Zhang Xiaolong said again: "That's not okay, the road is too congested, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

Therefore, Li Feng had no choice but to send a car to pick up Zhang Xiaolong every Tuesday to attend Fengrui's president video conference.

It wasn't until the end that Zhang Xiaolong finally said, "Well, since Mr. Li is so loving, I'll join Fengrui."

Even when Zhang Xiaolong said this sentence, he was very understated, and then Zhang Xiaolong stopped talking, just smoking silently.

Liu Zhiping, who had been watching the conversation between the two, was about to explode. This Zhang Xiaolong was too conceited, and his boss Li Feng was too kind to him, and agreed to everything. Probably only Zhou Wei could compare with him.

However, Liu Zhiping calmed down his dissatisfaction and didn't say anything, even Liu Zhiping didn't dare to say anything, Ren Yu and Zhao Qiming next to him couldn't get in the way, but he was also very curious about Zhang Xiaolong, this person was too aggressive Bar!
But when Li Feng heard that Zhang Xiaolong was willing to join Fengrui, he was very happy to stand up and give Zhang Xiaolong a big hug, "Welcome to Fengrui, Xiaolong, I feel like embracing the future."

And Li Feng's enthusiasm made Zhang Xiaolong very embarrassed, but even Li Feng agreed to so many unreasonable conditions of his own, so why not join Fengrui!

Regarding his new job in the future, Zhang Xiaolong still asked uncertainly: "In this case, boss, what business will I be in charge of in the future?"

Li Feng said directly: "Since the Foxmail mailbox is made by you, you still make the mailbox, but it is only our YY mailbox. I will give it to you completely. You can do it boldly and change it as you like.
I don’t want to make a profit, I don’t want any market share, I don’t pursue any number one, and I don’t give you a time limit. I don’t have any requirements at all.
And if you need anything, you can tell Zhiping directly, give money to people and provide resources, and your Guangzhou R&D center is directly managed by the headquarters.

And you only need to be responsible for yourself, according to your ideas, make it the best! "

Why was WeChat developed by Zhang Xiaolong? At that time, many teams within Tencent were working on this project, but why was Zhang Xiaolong the final winner?Instead of Li Xiaolong?Or what about Wang Xiaolong?
And why is WeChat, such a powerful app, made so few mistakes and so few detours?

And WeChat has helped Tencent fully complete multiple nuclear-bomb-level layouts in the mobile era. First, WeChat itself consolidated the communication relationship chain in the mobile era, and at the same time helped Tencent enter the coveted high-end crowd (this was before WeChat was born. The young QQ era has always been Tencent’s heart disease);

The second is that the circle of friends consolidates the social time in the mobile era (equivalent to building a Chinese version of Facebook from 0);
The third is that WeChat Wallet allows Tencent to be on an equal footing with Alipay (Tenpay has worked hard for many years but failed to get the point);

Fourth, the WeChat public platform has allowed Tencent to successfully enter the content closed loop and the enterprise market; now the small program has also supported the imagination of the operating system.

The reason why Zhang Xiaolong has so few detours in the WeChat era is because he has already experienced countless trials and errors in the pre-WeChat era.

Zhang Xiaolong is undoubtedly the living fossil of the Chinese Internet. From the first generation of programmers all the way, through the tide of PC Internet, to the era of mobile Internet, among the programmers of his generation who have experienced several waves and are still active in the center of the stage, perhaps only Xiaomi Lei Jun.

And it was during these transformations again and again that Zhang Xiaolong's polishing, trial and error of products; his thinking and experiments on human nature made him transparent and proficient in systematic thinking.
Doing QQ mailboxes and sending more than 7000 emails to Ma Huateng is trial and error; making reading space is trial and error; making mailbox drifting bottles is trial and error; making email broadcasting is also trial and error
Why does WeChat take so few detours?

Because detours have been gone before the birth of WeChat, Zhang Xiaolong gradually turned these experiments into drifting bottles, circles of friends, and public platforms in WeChat.
Without "ten years of hard study", how could there be "one-day gold list titles", there is no shortcut to success, "the sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold".

And Li Feng didn't want to interfere too much with Zhang Xiaolong's growth, he just gave him enough space to display himself and didn't bother him.

And Li Feng also believes that one day, Zhang Xiaolong will still give him an unparalleled surprise, but now he is just "waiting for the flowers to bloom".

When Zhang Xiaolong heard Li Feng's request for him, he was also moved. In this era when feelings are becoming less and less valuable, will anyone pay for other people's ideals?

Zhang Xiaolong also suddenly had a feeling that "scholars die for their confidants". It's just that he is too introverted, doesn't know how to express, and just smokes silently. This is different from Zhang Xiaolong who can talk freely in WeChat public classes later It's far away.

Now that the business is over, let's have dinner, Li Feng and the others are hungry, and Zhang Xiaolong hasn't even had breakfast yet!

The dishes that Li Feng asked Ren Yu to order were all Guangzhou specialties, but during the meal, although Zhang Xiaolong always wanted to say something, often after he finished speaking, the whole dinner table would be silent for 10 minutes. In the end, he Just don't say anything.

In the end, even Liu Zhiping and the others knew what kind of person Zhang Xiaolong was, mensao, mensao!
