The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 182 WeChat attack, takeaway promotion

"Is Xu Xing's phone infected with some kind of virus?"

On the morning of October 10th, Xu Jian was having breakfast at home, and when he was checking text messages on his mobile phone, he realized that Xu Xing had sent him a strange message yesterday.

[Your contact person sincerely invites you to join the big family of Weixin Assistant, and have a pleasant exchange and communication with you on Weixin. Come and become his Weixin friend~Link: xxxxxxx]

"What?" Sun Wanhui, who was drinking porridge across the street, raised her head and asked in confusion.

"Check to see if it's on your phone." Xu Jian said while showing Sun Wanhui the content of the text message on his phone.

After taking a look, Sun Wanhui took out her mobile phone and found the exact same text message.

So Sun Wanhui simply made a phone call and got connected after a while.

"Hey?"

"Xu Xing, is there something wrong with your phone?" Sun Wanhui said.

"Ah?" Xu Xing on the opposite side looked confused, "What's the problem?"

"I see that you sent me a strange text message yesterday. Your dad also received the same message. What software do you want us to download? Is it a virus?"

Xu Xing: "..."

"It's not a virus, you just download one and you'll know." Xu Xing said helplessly, "I'm going to class. After you download and register, you can directly chat with me on it, and hang up here first."

Seeing that she hung up the phone, Xu Jian couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

"He said let's download one, it's not a virus." As Sun Wanhui said, she clicked into the text message again and downloaded a WeChat assistant tentatively.

After a while, the download of WeChat Assistant was completed.

Xu Jian said: "Then you try it first, if there is a virus, I won't download it."

"Don't worry." Sun Wanhui clicked on the WeChat assistant and followed the instructions to register her own account. As soon as the registration was completed, she already had a friend on her WeChat account, and that was Xu Xing who sent her an invitation message.

Looking at the chat list in front of her, Sun Wanhui clicked on Xu Xing's chat box, muttering: "Isn't this just a QQ?"

[Sun Wanhui]: What about people?Can you get it?
[Xu Xing]: Received, received, where is Dad's?

[Sun Wanhui]: Why don't you use QQ?I also deliberately downloaded such a thing, which feels less convenient than QQ.

[Xu Xing]: Let Dad download one first.

[Sun Wanhui]: Got it, you should study hard.

Sun Wanhui is a person who can keep up with the trend. Although she doesn't know much about computers, she is very good at mobile phones. She also bought Pineapple mobile phone very early, so she is also very proficient in using mobile QQ. She doesn't think this WeChat assistant is any substitute. .

But under Sun Wanhui's reminder, Xu Jian also downloaded a WeChat assistant. After registration, he added Sun Wanhui's friends and tried WeChat.

[Xu Jian]: Just typing, right?
[Sun Wanhui]: Yes, it is the same as QQ.

[Sun Wanhui]: You can also send a message to Xu Xing, so he can see it too.

[Xu Jian]: Isn't it the same for you?Don't disturb his class.

[Xu Jian]: I feel a little interesting.

[Sun Wanhui]: What does this mean? QQ is much easier to use than this.

"QQ is too complicated to use." Seeing this, Xu Jian on the opposite side shook his head again and again, "You see, I don't usually use that QQ very much, it's just phone calls and text messages. This WeChat assistant looks much simpler."

"That's because you're stupid, you don't even know how to use QQ." Sun Wanhui curled her lips.

"That's what you said." Xu Jian was a little speechless, "Then QQ has so many functions, I don't have the time to study it, and to add a friend, I have to report the QQ number. Do you think who in the family usually uses QQ?"

"I think the function of the WeChat assistant is not bad. It can directly add friends to people in the phone's address book."

"Let me take a look, oh, look, look, you can also send invitation text messages to people who are in contact with your mobile phone. Does it mean that if you send it to someone to download and register, I will automatically add you as a friend?"

"Xu Xing was like this just now, right? I think he was added as a friend directly, without having to enter his account number himself."

Xu Jian clicked the page on the WeChat Assistant a few times, the [Dialogue] page is very simple, currently there are only two dialogues between Xu Xing and Sun Wanhui.

After clicking [Address Book], only two friends are displayed on it, and there is an option of [Add Friend] at the top.

Just click in, and there will be a [Add Mobile Contact] button, which can be invited individually, or sent in groups with one click, or even select specific groups of people for selective group sending, which is very convenient.

After Xu Jian also sent invitations to relatives and friends in the address book, he quit and clicked other buttons.

He was not interested in games, when he clicked on [Game Center], he saw the friend rankings above, only Xu Xing had points there, and he had all three games.

"Good boy, it looks like he often plays games on his mobile phone." Xu Jian clicked his tongue, and immediately clicked on the [Dialogue] page to send a reminder to Xu Xing.

[Xu Jian]: Usually play less games, mobile data is very expensive, you know how to save some money?

[Xu Xing]: Why did you say this suddenly?

[Xu Jian]: I see that your score is quite high on the game leaderboard, do you often play it?
[Xu Xing]: Oh, that one.

[Xu Xing]: It's not all about Miss Nian Nian.

[Xu Xing]: This software, including those games, are all developed by the company where sister Nian Nian works for, and I have to download it to play.

[Xu Xing]: Isn't this helping her to promote it, including this WeChat assistant, you can also help promote it when you have time.

[Xu Xing]: And this thing is much more convenient than text messages. You see, isn't it very convenient for us to chat now?
Seeing the messages that Xu Xing sent over, Xu Jian was a little dazed, his clumsy fingers tapping on the phone screen, completely unable to keep up with the speed of Xu Xing's sending messages.

Every time he was about to reply to the previous sentence, Xu Xing sent out the next sentence, which made him have to delete the content and enter new content every time.

[Xu Jian]: I still don't think it's easy to use.

[Xu Xing]: Huh?why?

[Xu Jian]: Typing is too slow, if you can't press it, it's better to make a phone call.

[Xu Xing]: It's okay. I heard from Niannian that the voice chat function will be launched next week. You can just speak and send voice, no need to type.

[Xu Jian]: Then why don't I call directly?

[Xu Xing]: What if I'm in class?You use WeChat to contact me, text and voice are used together, and I can take a look at it or listen to it secretly while the teacher is not paying attention, and the phone is too conspicuous.

【Xu Jian】: Already in class?Then you still play on your phone!
[Xu Xing]: I'm just making an analogy... I'm having breakfast.

[Xu Xing]: Another example is that there are some small things at home. Usually, you don’t think it’s necessary to call me to tell me. You can also send them to me on WeChat in the future.

[Xu Jian]: That's enough, that's enough, don't talk anymore, you go to school hard.

For a middle-aged person like Xu Jian, he was already in his thirties when QQ was first born.

When he first registered a QQ account in [-], he was estimated to be close to forty years old.

At this time, it is not difficult for him to accept this new thing, but it is certainly not as fast as the young people's acceptance.

This is still the case on the computer, let alone moving QQ from the computer to the mobile terminal.

Although in the optimization of mobile QQ, the QQ team has made subtractions as much as possible, which is lighter than QQ on the computer side, but it is only relative to the computer side.

In terms of use, the original mobile QQ still has some computer-side characteristics, and it does not fully adapt to the use logic of mobile phones in terms of operation logic and market positioning.

Especially in user positioning.

Although QQ users will also add real family members, relatives and friends, they still interact more socially with online netizens.

As for the communication with relatives and friends, more people still rely on mobile phones to contact them. Few people use QQ to contact them, especially the middle-aged and elderly people.

On the contrary, among young people, they may be more willing to use QQ to contact their classmates and friends. This is a habit that has been cultivated in terms of their behavioral logic.

But in the current era when the mobile Internet is just emerging, in fact, if young people want to own a smartphone, they have to pass the threshold of their parents.

This means that the mobile phone ownership rate of adults is much higher than that of minors under the age of 18.

Especially people in the age range of 20 to 50 are the main owners of smartphones.

Among them, users under the age of 35 are more familiar with QQ because they have accepted the wave of the Internet age since they were young. Even though the operation of mobile QQ is somewhat complicated, there is no obstacle for them to use it.

For middle-aged people like Xu Jian who are already heading towards the age of 50, there is no need to use QQ.

One is that he has not cultivated the habit of communicating with netizens on QQ on the computer side, and the other is that once he does not use computer QQ much, then let him use mobile QQ, which must be more difficult to operate than WeChat.

And the third most important point is that he does not have a friendship chain that must be maintained on QQ.

Even if I added some relatives' QQ friends, they basically never chatted on QQ. They must always call when they have something to do, and they have not cultivated the habit of using QQ instant messaging software to communicate at all.

This period is also the best time for a series of mobile instant messaging software such as WeChat to enter the market.

Because it is rooted in the development path of the mobile terminal, what is different from the development logic of mobile QQ is that what Weixin does is not subtraction, but addition from zero to one.

Therefore, on the chat page, after the nickname of the chat partner is displayed at the top, when the other party sends a message, there will only be an avatar and the corresponding text box, and the other party's nickname will not appear on the top.

At this time, mobile QQ still retains the habit of the computer terminal. Every time a message is sent, the information displayed is two lines.

The first line is the other party's avatar + nickname + the time when the message was sent, and the second line is the content sent by the other party.

As a result, it only takes two or three sentences, and the phone page can't fit, so you have to scroll down.

This kind of small details can be seen almost everywhere in the early mobile QQ. Until the birth of WeChat, everyone said that the function of WeChat is to continuously add useful functions on QQ.

However, everyone does not know that in terms of UI layout in various details, mobile QQ has also been absorbing the nutrition of WeChat, and has gradually evolved into the most suitable template for mobile phone users.

In this world, there is no WeChat, only the newly born WeChat.

Mobile QQ still retains the operating habits brought by QQ on the computer side. It is completely treating the mobile phone as a small computer, and all kinds of layouts are based on the idea of ​​​​the computer side.

Putting it on a computer with a large screen will not look cluttered, but putting it on a small mobile phone screen will make the user look bloated.

Long-term QQ users may find it acceptable, but for middle-aged people like Xu Jian who rarely touch QQ, this has become an invisible threshold for QQ to further convert such users.

……

On the morning of the 8th, Xu Xing, who tricked Xu Jian and Sun Wanhui into downloading WeChat, rode an electric scooter back to school after having breakfast.

When entering the school gate, two students held leaflets in their arms and distributed them to students and teachers passing by.

Yan Chijiu took a leaflet, looked down, and read word by word: "Have you eaten the takeaway platform, download the software, and you can place orders for more than a dozen high-quality restaurants around the school, and there are also promotional activities Waiting for you to participate~"

"It's started?" Xu Xing laughed when he heard this, "Why don't you try ordering one at noon?"

"Is this a product launched by our company?"

"Well, I asked Dai Zhuoshan to develop it." Xu Xing rode an electric bike to the entrance of the teaching building, "My roommate is doing the specific promotion."

"Want to help?" Yan Chijiu supported Xu Xing's shoulders, jumped out of the car carefully, and then asked, "Xu Yingying and the others have also joined many departments and associations, maybe they can help."

"You can talk to them about it." Xu Xing doesn't mind, and if a beauty like Xu Yingying can join the promotion army, the effect will be better, "If you are interested, let them find Zhang Nong, you can help to clean the dormitory building for a fee."

Xu Xing had fully prepared 20 yuan for the promotion in the school, but in reality he didn't need that much.

For example, the activities of school departments and clubs, sponsorship only costs a few thousand yuan, and these college students can help you promote it.

For things like handing out leaflets and sweeping buildings, if you are looking for acquaintances, the price can be kept very low, and even a cup of milk tea with a good relationship can be done.

Xu Xing would not be so deceitful, but the cost of this item would not be too much. The 20 reserve fund is estimated to last for a month or two, or maybe even until the end of the semester.

With that in mind, the two of them had arrived at the classroom where the class was held.

Yan Chijiu found the roommate's location, secretly waved to Xu Xing, and trotted to sit next to the roommate.

And Xu Xing looked around, but couldn't find the figures of the three roommates. Instead, the squad leader Xue Weiqiang found them.

"Xu Xing, remember to go to the counselor's office at noon." Xue Weiqiang said, "Old Wu has something to do with you."

"Huh?" Xu Xing looked strange, "What's the matter?"

"What else can I do?" Xue Weiqiang looked at him speechlessly, "You took at least seven or eight days off last month, and I didn't count those who skipped class without asking for leave. Old Wu won't look for you Who are you looking for?"

Seeing Xu Xing's dazed and laughing expression, Xue Weiqiang shook his head in disappointment: "I don't think you can be saved."

Originally, he thought that if Xu Xing was lucky enough to be admitted to Min University, he should study harder.

But who would have thought that this guy would ask for leave frequently as soon as school started, and he didn't know what to do.

However, after Xue Weiqiang joined the student union during this period of time, he also had a lot of conversations with his seniors. He also heard some rumors about Xu Xing's situation. He probably went to an off-campus Internet cafe to play games. class results.

Originally because of his girlfriend Wang Jiaxin, Xue Weiqiang was still somewhat hostile to Xu Xing.

But with Xu Xing's performance this month, Xue Weiqiang felt that his previous self was a little too sensitive.

This kind of inferior student who thinks everything will be fine as soon as he is admitted to university, and only wants to go to an Internet cafe to play games, why should he care about it?
Xu Xing didn't know what was going on in this guy's mind at all, so he just asked again: "Squad leader, have you seen my roommate?"

"Oh." Xue Weiqiang curled his lips, "I'm asking for leave."

From this point of view, it seemed that Xu Xing had led him to the wrong.

Xue Weiqiang didn't want to tell him too much, this kind of guy who doesn't study hard and ruins the dormitory atmosphere, I just hope that Old Wu can educate him well.

Xu Xing looked at his back as he turned and left, and blinked. He always felt Xue Weiqiang's hostility towards him... turned into a bit of hatred for iron and steel?

Shaking his head with a smile, Xu Xing glanced at the classroom and confirmed that the three people had indeed asked for leave to promote the food delivery platform. ?”

Yan Chijiu looked up and saw him, and opened his mouth slightly in surprise, but Li Nan who was at the side had already waved and said with a smile: "Come, come, sit, sit, there is no one else beside you."

"Thank you." Xu Xing sat down steadily, turned his head and glanced at Yan Chijiu.

Yan Chijiu lowered his head a little guilty, not daring to meet his gaze.

Because it was agreed to keep the secret of the relationship between the couple, Yan Chijiu specially told Xu Xing this morning not to be too intimate with her at school.

Although Xu Xing felt that there was no need to do so, Yan Chijiu still insisted on doing so with the idea of ​​not being afraid of ten thousand but just in case.

So seeing Xu Xing actually sitting here, Yan Chijiu was a little nervous, for fear that he would mess around.

"Xu Xing, why don't you go find your roommate?" Yan Chi hinted in a low voice.

"They asked for leave, so they left me alone." Xu Xing quietly put his hand under the table, squeezed Yan Chi's little hand, "Fortunately, you are kind enough to take me in."

Yan Chijiu was startled by his action, quickly retracted her hand, and secretly glared at him with her mouth puffed out.

Li Nan on the side laughed and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

To be honest, even if Yan Chijiu didn't admit it, in fact, several people in the dormitory also acquiesced in the relationship between Yan Chijiu and Xu Xing.

So whether Yan Chi vinegar said it or not, the difference is not big.

In other words, now that Yan Chijiu told Xu Xing that he wanted to hide the relationship between the two of them, it was not just for the sake of hiding it, it was more like a small interest between two people.

Like now.

Yan Chijiu silently leaned forward with her upper body, and put her right hand on the table, completely blocking Li Nan's view.

Then she stretched out her little hand with peace of mind, obediently put it in Xu Xing's palm, wrapped by his big hand, it was warm and comfortable.

And thinking of the underground behavior that was hidden from his roommate, Yan Chijiu felt a little irritated, and chatted with Li Nan and the others from time to time, about Zhang Nong's takeaway platform, while Xiaoshou was lingering with Xu Xing under the table.

Yan Chijiu's hands are very petite, only about half the size of Xu Xing's palm, and after being held by Xu Xing, they look very pocket-sized and cute.

Xu Xing likes to pinch her little hand, break her tightly clenched fist little by little, smooth it out, then touch her fingers, and write on her palm.

When I was tired from playing, I took her little hand and interlocked my fingers, thumbs sticking to each other, so I never got tired of playing.

On the premise of confirming safety, Yan Chijiu will also play with Xu Xing's palm in turn.

He would touch the rough calluses on Xu Xing's palm curiously, grab one of his fingers and shake it back and forth, or when his palm was scratched, he would deliberately pinch one of his fingers and squeeze hard as punishment.

"Is this what vinegar is talking about?"

While the two were secretly playing hand-to-hand, Xu Yingying on the side had already taken out a leaflet, and Chao Yanchi asked, "I also received it when I was having breakfast in the cafeteria today. Download this software and you can order takeaway." Yet?"

"Yeah." Yan Chijiu said to his roommate pretending to be nonchalant while being pinched by Xu Xing, "It's a takeaway software made by Xu Xing and his dormitory. You can try it at noon and support it."

"It's amazing, did you make it yourself?" Xue Hong had already downloaded this in the morning. Although she hadn't used it yet, she clicked on it and looked at it. At first, she thought it was nothing, but she heard that her classmates made it by themselves. software, and suddenly said in surprise, "Is this considered starting a business?"

"Uh... it's just a small fight." Xu Xing smiled, "There should only be a dozen shops near the school joining, and the choices are relatively limited."

"A dozen or so are not enough?" Li Nan leaned over and looked at the Eat Me APP that Xue Hong had just opened. "There is my favorite rice noodle. I will order some after class at noon."

Several girls had a heated discussion, which didn't stop until the class bell rang.

When get out of class was over at noon, Xu Xing got up and said to Yan Chi: "I have to go to the counselor's office. You and your roommates should go have dinner first."

"Mmm Good."

Watching Xu Xing leave, the next second, Yan Chijiu was suddenly embraced by Li Nan from behind: "Hey, why don't you admit it? After class, you will go to dinner with Xu Xing by default? You still have to tell Xu Xing that you will talk to me?" Shall we eat together?"

"Hmm..." Yan Chijiu didn't realize it just now, and only discovered the loophole at this time, so he quickly made up for it, "Didn't I find a company to work part-time outside, Xu Xing also worked part-time in that company, and him My sister is also here, and it was because of his help that I was able to find a job before, so I am used to eating together."

"Tch." Li Nan squeezed Yan Chijiu's face with a smile, "I just like the way you open your eyes and talk nonsense."

"Okay, okay." Xu Yingying covered her mouth and smiled, "Let's go back to the dormitory, how about trying this takeaway."

……

On the other side, Xu Xing came to the college building alone. When he went upstairs, his mobile phone vibrated a few times.

I took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Liao Qinyu.

[Liao Qinyu]: Mr. Xu, the number of WeChat users has exceeded one million.

[Xu Xing]: Okay, keep it up, and contact me anytime if you have any questions.

[Liao Qinyu]: I understand.

Putting away the phone, Xu Xing was in a good mood.

Since the new version was updated at noon yesterday, and now exactly one day has passed, the number of WeChat users has directly doubled. It can be seen how terrible the effect of the function of contacts in the address book is.

As long as the growth rate in the early stage can be maintained, as the number of users continues to increase, the fission effect in the later stage will only become stronger.

Now we have to see how long it will take for Tencent's QQ to respond.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing has already found the office of counselor Wu Zhiguo and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

After hearing Old Wu's voice, Xu Xing pushed the door open and entered with a polite smile: "Mr. Wu, I'm Xu Xing from Class Eight. The monitor said you were looking for me?"

"Oh, Xu Xing, right?" Wu Zhiguo looked at Xu Xing with helplessness when he thought about it, and when he thought of the number of times this guy asked for leave last month, he sighed and waved to him, "Come on, Come sit down and let's talk."
