this man is not calm

Chapter 57 Trust is the foundation of life

What we need to do now is to open up wasteland, then gain a firm foothold, and fight steadily, instead of staking the land, slashing and burning, and waiting for the harvest.

It is expected that after the launch of the instant messaging software in September, the biggest challenge is how to attract not many netizens to continue to use it, and use it as a seed to grow into a towering giant tree.

Before that, Jin Shang's plan was to refer to the successful experience of his previous life and play around the edges.In the process of operation and promotion, the signboard of chatting and making friends was set up, suggesting to netizens that "there are beautiful women here, you can flirt", but never mentioned such "rumors" in public, which put the company from the risk of being involved in the whirlpool of public opinion Take it out.

The way of making friends on the Internet in the early days was not simple and rude, and no one played it at all.

In the era when the chat room exploded, how many jaw-dropping contents are hidden in it, I’m afraid I can’t even imagine it unless I see it with my own eyes; Not many people have played with the drifting bottle that casts a net everywhere, even this kind of relative The more "simple" mode can still be played with "flowers"; relatively speaking, the "shake" and "nearby people" in the mobile Internet era are much more serious.

Of course, the idea is good, but how to grasp the scale has to be weighed carefully, don't be labeled as "low-style" because of crossing the line, and become a "dating artifact" from a popular dating software. That's really not worth the candle.

Jin Shang didn't think about how to do it. He just decided on the name and called it "Jinxi".

If you want to say how profound the meaning is, it’s not enough. The word “Jinxi” means tonight. People who have received nine years of compulsory education can basically understand from the words and sentences in "Guofeng·Tangfeng·Preparation". "Jin Xi He Xi" together, there is a more obvious meaning of warm and happy love between men and women.

When I saw the "Jinxi" instant messaging software, apart from being unfamiliar and curious, I would more or less have a hunch that this thing is used to make friends.

As for the nature of "friends", it depends on personal preference.

In order to strengthen this impression, Jin Shang even took out such a big weapon as "Water Tune Getou: When Will the Moon Come?" Such a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, one article is less, and it is really reluctant to take it out until the critical moment.

After communicating with Yin Muye, Zhang Youling, Li Rong and others, Jin Shang suddenly realized that the group chat function may really become one of the key means to break the situation.

It seems to be a good way for the operator to actively establish a number of unique "groups", select some users to join, set chat topics in advance, and increase activity.

The early instant chat software that was popular in the previous life, the "group chat" function appeared very late.Because the foundation is already very solid and the technical accumulation is very strong, this kind of service has been opened to all users in one step, and almost all accounts can create their own groups.

At that time, there was no need for the operator to take the initiative to leave the game, and it was necessary to build a "group" to bring rhythm. It was not only troublesome, but also likely to take unnecessary risks.

At this time, Jinxi Culture, if it wants to successfully operate a chat and dating software called "Jinxi", it may really need to develop such things as "blind date and friendship", "travel guide", "local snack shop", "fan club", "technical A series of special "official groups" such as "communication" and "fan exchange meeting" are available for interested netizens to join.

In today's Internet, except for the newly launched Northern United Online, there is not even a reliable portal website. It is estimated that it is very difficult to expect netizens to actively find topics and news they are interested in.

No need?
Then take the initiative to create demand!
It seems that the colleagues in the previous life didn't do this in the early days?

Even if BATJ is successful and famous, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he has made no mistakes. In order to explore the profit model, QQ even engaged in fee-based registration, which was canceled after less than a month, almost playing itself to death.

The cases in memory not only have successful experience, but also have lessons from failure.

In special times, it seems good that operators take the initiative to provide convenience for users and teach everyone how to make it more fun.

Moreover, this is a "coup" that I came up with on my own whim, which is different from the "precedent" that I used immediately. It is my own success.

"The route can be followed, but the specific strategy does not necessarily have to be followed step by step.In the past and present lives, the national conditions are different, and the network environment is also quite different. I can completely follow my own ideas and go my own way.Cases from previous lives in memory can be used for reference, but it is unnecessary to copy them completely. 』

Without the object of "pixel-level imitation", you are at a loss and don't know what to do. Then this so-called entrepreneurship is too boring.

Thoughts in Jin Shang's heart turned back and forth, thinking of this, his thoughts became clearer, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

Listening to Yin Muye talking about the idea of ​​the "chat group" function within the School of Computer Science, Jin Shang, who had no abnormal face on his face, echoed, while mentioning part of his own ideas on the sidelines, and the other party also agreed. During the process, we will try our best to leave enough space for expansion to facilitate the secondary development of Jinxi Culture.

After uncovering this important issue, Jin Shang mentioned the last issue that seemed inconspicuous but actually very important.

"Although it is an instant messaging software, it is too 'instant'. Every time the sender types a character, it will be displayed in the chat box of the recipient. If you accidentally typed a typo, you feel inappropriate after editing and want to modify it. The information, and even the correction process, are clearly seen by both parties.”

This is obviously because the two parties in the chat share a dialog box, which has gone beyond the category of "instant messaging" and is now "real-time chat".

"Is there anything wrong with this...?"

Yin Muye asked with some puzzlement, and everyone present felt a little strange, shouldn't this be the way the so-called chatting is supposed to be?

There is no regret in exporting, one promise is one thousand gold, and it is hard to get back if it is overwhelmed.

Seeing everyone looking at him inquiringly, Jin Shang put his arms around his chest, sorted out his words for a while, and then solemnly explained:
"This is the misunderstanding caused by differences in understanding! Instant messaging is a text chat, which is very different from face-to-face oral communication. Essentially, it is sending letters online, which is a big category with email. Whether it is offline or actual Send a letter, or send an email online, which one of you will show the draft to the other party?"

"You mean..."

If Li Rong had realized something after hearing the words, she would react as soon as possible,
"The core function of the software you want is not long-distance instant chat, but instant messaging?"

"It may be needed in the future, but for now, this kind of..."

Jin Shang pointed to the almost completely synchronized chat boxes on the two computer monitors, smiled and shook his head,
"It's best not to be so direct, but to confirm that it is correct, press the Enter key, and then send it to the other party."

Netizens in this world have never experienced the torment of waiting for a reply after sending a message, especially when the chat box shows that the other party is "typing", but there is no movement for a long time. Unrelieved depression and irritability.

Professor Zhang Youling, who had been listening and asked a few key points from time to time, seemed to have thought of something, and said with some emotion:

"Xiao Jin's words are very reasonable. When I send emails with my colleagues, I am also very cautious. Writing letters is a serious matter, and black and white words cannot be denied. If the positioning of instant messaging is 'real-time letter exchange', then it is true. The input process cannot be completely shown to the other party."

After a pause, Zhang Youling added with a smile:

"Occasionally, I also encounter some annoying things. There are always people who treat emails as verbal chats, send them one by one, and copy to many people. I think these guys really need instant messaging software and Group chat function."

Jin Shang curiously asked Professor Zhang Youling:
"Someone really does this? Then they don't know the importance of grasping the communication scale!"

Professor Zhang Youling smiled, had a little Coca-Cola, and replied helplessly:

"There is a lot of swearing, and there are people who provoke wars. Don't look at everyone's sanctimonious, on the Internet, without face-to-face, all kinds of monsters and ghosts come."

"That's really..."

I really couldn't find the right words to describe it, so Jin Shang could only smile awkwardly,

"In short, this synchronization function needs to be considered by Professor Zhang and Brother Yin, how to improve it."

Zhang Youling nodded in agreement:
"This is also one of the original intentions of our school-enterprise cooperation! We have researched a lot of results, most of which were developed in the laboratory behind closed doors, and too few have been successfully promoted and applied. There are ideas like Xiaojin, Partners who are also proficient in business operations and know how to meet market demand, we can avoid many detours."

Indeed, there is no doubt about the technical ability of Beijing Normal University. Jin Shang, Liu Yanqing and Yin Feiyang have also learned a lot of professional knowledge in the limited time.

However, in terms of specific practical operations, the teachers and students in the ivory tower do have a feeling of being ungrounded, especially when developing commercial software such as instant messaging that directly faces the general public, they seem a little at a loss.

Regarding the modification of the display of the transmission function of the instant messaging software, the two parties discussed the specific plan and basically reached an agreement.

"Today's harvest is not small, does Xiao Jin have any requests?"

"Ok!"

Facing Professor Zhang Youling's question, Jin Shang thought for a while and replied,

"There is no doubt about the specific product framework problem. As Professor Zhang just mentioned, the matter of someone swearing in emails, our instant messaging software, there will be such problems, and it is very likely to be more serious. So , supervision and safety are very important. As an operator, our company actually bears the trust of the majority of users. Once there is a public incident that affects the reputation and image, the consequences will be disastrous.”

Indeed, an instant messaging operator is actually an intermediary service provider, similar to a virtual courier.

Professor Zhang Youling also echoed:

"Indeed, the focus of supervision and safety must all fall on the company's credit. Once users have doubts about the qualifications and integrity of the operator, the foundation of the company will be lost. This reminds me of when I was a child, my grandfather told me The story of the little country postman..."

"Xinke?"

"Hey! Xiaojin actually knows?"

"I heard it mentioned by chance."

This kind of profession has disappeared in the long river of history along with the progress of the times.Of course, it is not ruled out that there are still similar people in some remote mountainous areas.

They carry the trust of the whole village, running between the bustling city and the backward remote mountainous area all the year round, acting as a bridge between the two, sending news of their hometown to those who are working outside, and also sending messages to the hometown that misses them all the year round. The people bring back blessings.

Granted, it's not all good news, not just deliveries.

In his previous life, Jin Shang watched the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and he didn't have a deep understanding. Later, when he read the prose "Xin Ke", he really realized how this profession that gradually disappeared in the first half of the [-]th century is. kind of existence.

To a certain extent, e-mail and instant messaging systems are the "customers" on the modern Internet. Even if people are seldom aware of the importance of protecting personal privacy and information security, they will realize sooner or later in the future that they have been in the end. What kind of "violation" has been suffered.

The Internet has memories, and for every black history, ten, 20 or even 30 years later, there will be people with good intentions digging it up and showing it to the public.

If you are strong enough, too big to fail, and Internet users have no choice, then that’s okay, but if something happens, the wall falls and everyone pushes it, and the collapse will happen overnight.

As if recalling the past, Zhang Youling also happily told some stories from more than half a century ago, combined with the instant messaging software that Jin Shang wants to develop, he expressed his feelings.

"To make this type of software last longer, you not only need your company to have extremely high technical and operational capabilities, but also test your conscience and morality."

"Been taught a lesson."

Although Zhang Youling's field of expertise is far away from the market, his cognition is still in place.

Those well-known IT companies that made their mark in the previous life are not because they are so good, but because they are well-set off by their peers.In the era when Internet companies grew wildly in the early days, when the technology was not bad, and the market share did not have an overwhelming advantage, companies with a slightly better reputation and less obvious evildoers would definitely have a much greater chance of surviving.

Regarding security and supervision issues, Jin Shang, Yin Muye, and Zhang Youling discussed for a long time, how to use their own authority, provide good services, avoid risks, refrain from abuse, and protect user privacy to the maximum extent. They all put forward many good opinions.

Until lunch time, Jin Shang proposed to go out for a gathering. Zhang Youling, Yin Muye, and Li Rong declined on the grounds that they needed to prepare for class in the afternoon, so they went to the school cafeteria together to cook a few side dishes and parted ways after filling their stomachs.

Liu Yanqing and Yin Feiyang returned to the company, while Jin Shang was going to the telecommunications department to attend an important briefing...
