The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 193 The most unexpected thing

Time flies, and it’s mid-July 1997 in a blink of an eye.

While Zhang Zhipeng is conducting in-depth research on DC electromagnetic ejection technology, Warwick Company has begun to produce ADSL dedicated line equipment.

This equipment has been working directly with Huaguo Telecom from the beginning.

After all, if ADSL technology wants to be implemented, it must cooperate with telecom operators.

In a previous life, the separation of postal and telecommunications companies would not be implemented until 1998.

However, in this life, under the promotion of Zhang Zhipeng, the separation of post and telecommunications was completed in early 96.

Moreover, the telecommunications sector has also been subdivided.

Huaguo Telecom specializes in fixed-line and Internet services.

China Mobile is responsible for the mobile phone business.

Zhao Changgeng is the chairman of Huaguo Telecom. He rushed to Huawei's communication equipment production factory in Shenzhen on October 1997, 10.

Accompanying him was Ren Zhengfei, the boss of Warwick.

Zhao Changgeng also just took office as the chairman of Huaguo Telecom, but at this moment he has a strong sense of urgency.

why?
This is because China's mobile communications business is developing quite quickly.

The growth of fixed-line business has encountered a bottleneck, and the growth rate has slowed down.

Fixed-line business is the core business of Huaguo Telecom.

If the growth rate of fixed-line phones slows down, Huaguo Telecom's performance may be ugly.

Now we are promoting a market economy.

Even state-owned enterprises must rely on the market for performance and must be responsible for their own profits and losses.

If he doesn't do his job well, I'm afraid he won't be able to secure his position as chairman of a central enterprise.

Of course, for Huaguo Telecom, there is another point of rapid growth: Internet services!

Nowadays, the Internet development in developed countries is booming.

This also stimulated the development of the domestic Internet.

As for the Internet provider, there is currently only one: Huaguo Telecom.

Today, Huaguo Telecom’s Internet business is entering a period of rapid growth.

However, because telephone Internet access is too slow, broadband is not widely popular enough, and Internet access is expensive, ordinary citizens do not use Internet services too much.

If the cost of Internet access can be reduced and the speed of Internet access can be increased, Huaguo Telecom's Internet business will inevitably usher in an explosive period.

This is the main reason why Zhao Changgeng came to Shenzhen to visit the Warwick factory this time.

He heard that Warwick Company had developed a set of equipment that was very powerful and could provide high-speed Internet data services through telephone lines without affecting the telephone business.

This is awesome!

If this device is real, then the period of rapid development of the Internet in China is about to come.

"Mr. Zhao, let me take you to visit our ADSL equipment production workshop first, okay?" Ren Zhengfei said to Zhao Changgeng with a smile.

This is the God of Wealth, and he will be the most important buyer of Warwick's ADSL equipment in the future, so of course Ren Zhengfei must give him a good reception.

Zhao Changgeng smiled and said: "Mr. Ren, there is no need to visit the production workshop."

"I don't know if you have already produced equipment. Just show me whether your equipment is easy to use."

Zhao Changgeng was more eager and went straight to the topic.

Ren Zhengfei smiled and nodded: "Of course! We have actually built an experimental ADSL network, and our entire Warwick Group's telephone network has now been transformed."

"If you want to experience the powerful Internet access function of ADSL, then I suggest you follow me directly to my office, okay?"

Zhao Changgeng smiled and nodded and said, "Okay!"

So, he followed Ren Zhengfei to his office.

There is a Huaxing desktop computer in Ren Zhengfei's office.

This desktop computer is already connected to an ADSL modem.

"Mr. Zhao, why don't you try the speed of our ADSL dedicated line?"

Ren Zhengfei asked Zhao Changgeng to sit down on his boss's chair.

Zhao Changgeng has naturally played with computers.

He skillfully clicked on the computer's screensaver with the mouse and opened the Huaxing browser.

Huaxing Browser opens, and a navigation page appears.

This navigation page is also made by Kingsoft Software Company, a subsidiary of Huaxing Company.

It basically arranges all currently available websites into categories.

Zhao Changgeng praised: "This Internet speed is indeed very fast!"

"As soon as I opened the browser, the navigation page appeared."

Ren Zhengfei, who was standing aside, smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, our ADSL network equipment can achieve 2M to 4M broadband effects."

"The network speed of my computer can now reach at least 200K per second, and the fastest can reach 512K per second."

Zhao Changgeng nodded, and he tested the Internet speed. He was shocked to find that Ren Zhengfei had not lied to him. The Internet speed could indeed reach more than 300K per second.

At this speed, surfing the Internet would be a blast.

He tried to open several commonly used websites one after another.

Web pages open very smoothly, and they open almost instantly.

“It’s really useful!”

Zhao Changgeng nodded happily and said.

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said, "Thank you for your affirmation."

"Our equipment is easy to use and not expensive."

"Users only need to install an ADSL modem at home to quickly access the Internet."

"This machine only costs one or two hundred yuan."

"The equipment installed by the operator can cost a few thousand yuan."

"It is equivalent to broadening the utilization space of telephone lines, and the cost does not increase too much."

"And you can also charge a monthly broadband usage fee. For example, you can launch an Internet package and you can surf the Internet at will for only a few dozen yuan a month."

"In this case, I estimate that the number of Internet users will increase rapidly. If there are 100 million ADSL users in the country, then your revenue performance will become very impressive! Haha!"

Zhao Changgeng nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, what you said touched my heart, haha!"

"Then we will launch ADSL Internet service immediately!"

"But, can your equipment production capacity keep up?"

"I think it will be possible for our service to add millions of new users every month after its launch!"

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao!"

"There is absolutely no problem with our production capacity!"

"We produce millions of small devices every month, just like for fun! We now have more than 30 factories and more than 100,000 workers!"

"If your demand is large, we can even allocate half of the factory workers to produce ADSL equipment!"

Zhao Changgeng nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved!"

"I will immediately hold a national meeting of the group company to lay out this work."

"In half a month at most, we will promote ADSL Internet services across the country. You should hurry up and stock up!"

Zhao Changgeng formally signed an ADSL equipment supply agreement with Ren Zhengfei.

Afterwards, Zhao Changgeng returned to the capital and held a meeting with senior executives of provincial branches. At the meeting, he assigned the task of promoting ADSL Internet services.

Naturally, Warwick Company also cooperated with Zhao Changgeng to install an ADSL network in the Huaguo Telecom compound.

The princes of each branch also tried the ADSL network.

Naturally, they all praised it after trying it.

Everyone agrees that this ADSL network is absolutely awesome and easy to use!
Such a product can definitely become a powerful driving force for the explosive growth of Huaguo Telecom's turnover.

After the meeting, the heads of branches in various places assigned all the tasks when they returned.

At the same time, various rules, regulations and charging systems for ADSL services have been formulated.

It took more than ten days to complete these tasks.

Subsequently, Huaguo Telecom began to launch advertisements for ADSL dedicated lines on TV.

The first is to put advertising behind the seven o'clock news.

Advertising at this point has the greatest influence. Once it is placed, it can become a household name quickly, which is quite powerful.

The content of this advertisement from Huaguo Telecom is as follows:
Advertising theme - ADSL fast Internet access, connecting the world at your fingertips!
Next is the package introduction: Package A, 40 yuan per month, has 2M broadband and unlimited use.

Package B, 60 yuan per month, has a 4M package, the Internet speed can reach 512K wonderful, massive information, all at your heart.

Sign up now and install it, and you can also get an ADSL cat worth 200 yuan as a gift.

Open today and start high-speed Internet access today!
As soon as this advertisement came out, the whole country went crazy.

You know, with the rise of Huaxing Computer, the penetration rate of computers in China is accelerating.

Already more than 70% of households in cities own computers.

With a computer, you can play games and do various jobs at home.

However, if the computer is connected to the Internet, you can learn about the latest information in the world more quickly, and you can also go to various forums to make comments.

Many people have even heard that you can chat and make friends with strangers online.

This is also very attractive to many people.

After Huaguo Telecom's ADSL advertisement was launched, many people quickly flocked to Huaguo Telecom's business halls in various places, scrambling to open the ADSL network and enjoy the fun of surfing the Internet at home.

……

In Shenzhen Town, Penguin Network Company has made all preparations at this time.

Under the leadership of Ma Huateng, Penguin Network Company has optimized the Penguin instant messaging software to the fullest.

Penguin instant messaging software allows you to add friends online. After adding friends, friends will appear on the software interface.

This software can also save chat records, and also launches a series of chat emoticons, QQ shows and other added-value content.

These were all made under the guidance of Zhang Zhipeng.

After Huateng saw the advertisement placed by Huaguo Telecom behind the 7 o'clock news, he was very excited.

He is just waiting for this opportunity!

ADSL is now about to be rolled out on a large scale.

According to Zhang Zhipeng's speculation, after the launch of ADSL Internet service, it is estimated that a large number of users will soon open ADSL service.

By then, the number of Internet users will explode.

After the number of Internet users explodes, various Internet startups will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

At this time, if Penguin QQ starts to go online, it will quickly attract people's attention and download and install it.

The number of users of this software will also explode in a short period of time.

After Huateng saw the ADSL network service advertisement on the 7 o'clock news, he immediately called Zhang Zhipeng's mobile phone.

Zhang Zhipeng was also at home at this time, talking with his wife and children.

After Huateng's call came in, he walked aside and answered the phone.

"Boss, the ADSL Internet service launched by Huaguo Telecom has begun to be promoted nationwide."

"Look, should we launch Penguin QQ immediately to test the waters?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "I saw that advertisement just now."

"Hua Teng, you are the person in charge of Penguin Company, the decision is yours to make!"

"I won't interfere with your business!"

"I believe you can run this software well!"

"Come on!" Huateng said with a smile, "Thank you for your trust in me!"

"Then I will hold a meeting tomorrow to assign tasks and launch Penguin QQ immediately."

……

After making the call, Huateng took a deep breath and felt his heart beating a little hard.

Because, next, you need to check the quality of your work some time ago.

The next day, Huateng held a mid-level meeting of Penguin.

At the meeting, he assigned tasks and asked all departments to act quickly to strive for a good start.

There is still quite a lot of work to be done.

The first thing is that servers located across the country must undergo final testing and prepare to go online.

The second step is to communicate well with brother units and strive to place an advertisement in the most conspicuous position on the Huaxing navigation page to attract users to download Penguin QQ.

The third is to call on all employees to log in to their own QQ immediately after Penguin QQ goes online, change their gender to "female", and then accept newly downloaded and installed users as friends and provide chatting services.

Huateng knew that social networking on the Internet was actually about finding the opposite sex to talk about peripheral topics, so that his empty and lonely soul could be baptized to the greatest extent.

Therefore, when the software was first launched, it was necessary for male users to find enough resources of the opposite sex that they could add as friends.

As for the romantic thoughts of female netizens about finding a blue-faced soulmate, Huateng thinks there is no need to think too much about it.

Because, in the beginning, there were definitely more men than women online.

The fourth preparation is to monitor the revenue from Penguin’s online value-added services.

Under the guidance of Zhang Zhipeng, Penguin launched QQ show value-added services and value-added membership services from the very beginning.

As long as you spend money, you can show your personality.

This is also to find ways to monetize traffic as soon as possible.

If Penguin can obtain stable income, it will not need Huaxing Group to continue to give it blood transfusions.

After the meeting, everyone took action quickly.

According to Huateng's arrangement, Penguin QQ was put online at 8 o'clock in the evening.

……

However, before Huaguo Telecom put on CCTV's 7 o'clock news, Huaguo Telecom branches in various places were already promoting the ADSL Internet service.

Mainly relying on the sharded salesmen to go to the community to do activities and go to the office building to contact the business.

As for users, they have also begun to develop rapidly.

On the day when the CCTV commercial was broadcast, there were already more than 1.7 million ADSL network service users across the country.

Among them, this business has developed the fastest in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and has a large number of users.

Deep town. Liu Aalun is a clerk in a foreign-funded enterprise.

His company was connected to the ADSL dedicated line network that day, and computers in the company could access the Internet.

Naturally, there was no wall in the Chinese Internet at this time.

He can log in to the beautiful country online and go to Yahoo. In short, the magic of the Internet makes him linger.

Of course, in fact, the domestic Internet now has a lot of fun places.

Nowadays, there are already websites such as forums and chat rooms in China.

Here, you can chat and communicate directly with strangers, and maybe even pick up a sister, which makes Liu Aalun very excited.

The working environment of foreign-funded companies is quite relaxed, so Liu Aalun can work and surf the Internet at the same time, which is quite leisurely.

In order to spend more time online, as a single guy, he would stay in the office to play for a while even after get off work.

By the way, that night, Liu Allen continued to stay in the company office and surf the Internet in the name of working overtime.

He has no interest in visiting the beautiful country's website.

Because his English is not very good.

Also, dating a foreign sister is not that realistic, and it would be too inconvenient to show up.

Liu Allen's interest turned to the domestic Pengcheng chat room.

This chat room is the earliest web-based chat room in China.

However, after spending a while in the chat room, he felt that there was no sister here.

There were only a few of them who had more wolves than meat, and he felt that these women were not good people.

Liu Allen felt boring again.

At this time, someone in the public chat area of ​​the Pengcheng chat room sent a message: Penguin QQ instant chat software gives you a different private chat experience. There is passionate romance and surprises here. Come and try it. Try it!

When Liu Allen saw this news, his eyes lit up.

With quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly clicked on the download link.

Not long after, the download of Penguin QQ chat software was completed.

After Liu Aalun installed it, he began to study the software.

This software requires you to register a number first and then log in.

When I first logged in, there were naturally no friends on it.

However, there is an eye-catching prompt for adding friends at the bottom of the software.

Liu Aalun clicked on the window to add QQ friends.

He discovered that there are so many online accounts here!

He can find many female netizens just by looking at their online names and avatars.

Moreover, you can also choose your region and gender when adding friends.

This is so convenient.

Liu Allen rubbed his hands excitedly.

He held the mouse with trembling hands and selected Shenzhen for the region and female for the gender.

Then click Search.

About twenty female netizens came out immediately.

Liu Allen quickly suppressed his racing heart and chose the first female netizen, clicked on the information and took a look.

Nickname: Pink Dream
Gender: Female.

Age: 21.

Location: Shenzhen.

Signature: Chasing a dream-like love, but it broke away from my arms like a wisp of wind.

Liu A'Lun thought to herself, this is her, let's add it first.

He successfully added Pink Dream as a friend.

Next, he began to use all his strength to strike up a conversation...

Penguin. Painted Fuji's office.

He was typing on the keyboard with his fingers flying.

If anyone saw the interface of his computer now, they would definitely laugh or cry.

Because, on his computer interface, dozens of QQ chat dialogue windows were opened.

His online name is Pink Dream.

Huateng is trying his best to chat with dozens of male netizens from the perspective of a female netizen.

Have no idea!

In order to attract more netizens to stay, he felt that it was worth the sacrifice he had made.

Therefore, he can only try his best to satisfy every male netizen who adds friends and try his best to chat with them.

However, fortunately, people who use the Internet at this time are basically highly educated people.

Not so straightforward and explicit.

When everyone was chatting, they all wanted to be more elegant and conquer the female netizens with their talents.

Therefore, Huateng is not that physiologically disgusted.

This is the first night that Penguin QQ is online.

Huateng felt that today was very important.

He wants everyone who downloads and registers a QQ account to stay and become a loyal user of the software.

While chatting with me, Hua Teng looked at the background data of Penguin QQ software.

He found that within an hour of going online, Penguin QQ had added more than 3 new registered users.

Two hours later, the number of registered users exceeded 10!
By 12 o'clock that night, QQ users exceeded 30!
This growth rate is really gratifying.

Huateng knows that the number of Internet users in the country is actually not too many now, maybe only about 100 million in the country.

Penguin QQ has only been online for 4 hours, and the number of registered users has exceeded 30?

what does this mean?
This means that Penguin QQ became an instant hit!

As long as we continue to work steadily and continuously improve the functions of the software, we will be able to occupy the Internet social area!
And Internet social networking can be said to be the most important entrance to Internet traffic!

It is also the most used function by people online.

Huateng stretched, he was a little sleepy.

However, my mind is still very excited.

He looked at the other data in the background, and when he saw it, he became even more excited.

Because, many people have already charged QQ coins and started to buy QQ shows.

A few hours after being online, I have already made more than 3 yuan.

Although this amount of money is not much, it is a good start.

That night, Huateng didn't go to the small bed in the office until almost 2 o'clock in the morning to take a nap.

Before going to bed, he looked backstage and found that more than 8 people were still chatting.

It seems that this online chat is also so intoxicating that people forget to eat and sleep.

Over the next week, the number of Penguin QQ users increased rapidly.

There are at least 300,000 to 400,000 new registered users added every day.

Within a week, the number of registered users reached more than 370 million.

Of course, there must be many registered users here who have registered repeatedly.

However, even so, this has made Penguin QQ a phenomenal software: as long as anyone accesses the Internet, they will definitely have their own Penguin QQ account.

For a time, netizens across the country were chatting crazily about QQ.

A week later, Huateng called Zhang Zhipeng to report the results of the first week of QQ online.

He particularly pointed out: In these seven days, Penguin Company actually earned nearly two million soft girl coins.

Zhang Zhipeng was not surprised that Penguin became popular all over the country immediately after it was launched, because social interaction is people's biggest need!

Socializing with strangers of the opposite sex is an irresistible temptation for almost everyone.

Therefore, Penguin QQ’s popularity is almost doomed.

Zhang Zhipeng encouraged Huateng and told him to quickly build the Penguin Game Community.

At almost the same time that Hua Teng’s Penguin QQ was launched, Qiudu Search, hosted by Qiu Bojun, was actually launched in a low-key manner and began to be promoted on many platforms owned by Huaxing Company.

Qiandu Search's search algorithm and functions are very good, allowing netizens to easily find the online information they are looking for, and it is naturally loved by netizens.

What surprised Zhang Zhipeng the most was that the popularity of QQ actually promoted the rapid increase in sales of Huaxing Computer, and the number of users using ADSL also increased sharply.

It can be seen that this Internet social network also has a strong consumption-promoting effect.

Zhang Zhipeng did not pay too much attention to these things. His main energy was still spent on the development of DC electromagnetic ejection technology. Moreover, in early November 1997, he made a certain breakthrough...
