Of course, this is just a legend. 【

To be honest, Sogou Pinyin still cannot exceed Wubi, after all, Wubi has the advantage of relying on itself.However, Wubi input method is too difficult for beginners.If you are not a computer major, generally few people learn Wubi typing.After Sogou Pinyin came out, not many people learned Wubi.

In my memory, the Sogou Pinyin input method was developed by Sohu in 2006, and it is a Pinyin input method based on the wnows-operating system platform.The biggest feature of this input method is that in the word library, several new words on the Internet have been updated, so that when you surf the Internet, you can more quickly code out the thesaurus that thousands of netizens want to code out.

Moreover, Sohu was originally a search engine. Although its search engine is not as widely used as Baidu, it has accumulated rich experience in the field of Internet search.Therefore, the Sogou Pinyin input method has also added search engine technology, which is used to continuously update the word library, close to the lives of netizens, and thus make typing faster.

Of course, later generations also took this to a higher level and developed another input method, which is cloud input.

This cloud is the same as cloud security, cloud antivirus, and cloud computing.As for cloud input, there is no need to download the word library, and you can directly input pinyin on the web page, that is, you can complete the typing.Moreover, since pinyin is entered on the webpage, calculations and the like are all on the server connected to it, not the local computer.The computing power of the server is much faster and more accurate than that of the local computer.

Therefore, the cloud input method is one level higher than the search engine input method.However, the range of application of this input method is not very wide. After all, if you type, it is impossible to open a web page and type on it.It would be better to use only on search engines, for example, in the box, there is cloud input technology.

In addition to the "search engine" technology, Sogou Pinyin input method has added some other functions.For example, update thesaurus online.After all, society is developing, people are developing, and words and languages ​​are developing.A new word on the Internet is published today, and another one may appear tomorrow.As an input method used by the majority of people, it should naturally keep pace with the times and keep pace with the times.

In this way, the later Sogou Pinyin input method can also automatically update the thesaurus.

Also, thanks to this auto-updating thesaurus is generated.That means, in fact, Sogou Pinyin can be connected to the Internet.According to the networking function, then, when counting people and so on using this input method, he can also generate the additional function of counting.For example, advertising, such as... hey, do everything that major companies want to do, but they can't do it.

Just like 360 ​​security software, the huge number of users is definitely a valuable resource to use.

"Haha, it seems that we thought of it together."

Chen Jia laughed a lot, as if she appreciated the idea of ​​"Zhong Jingtian".

The reason why the search engine input method did not appear in later generations until 2006 is because this idea is not something ordinary people can think of.And those who can think of it, one does not have amazing wisdom.Moreover, once this technology is used in the input method, a large number of input methods in later generations will be sidelined.Even Google, Tencent and the like are suspected of plagiarizing Sogou Pinyin.It can be seen that the innovative spirit of this input method is not insignificant, and it has created a generation of input method history.

"Since Brother Chen has already thought of it, I think, then I will leave for now."

Although Zhong Jingtian was a little disappointed, what's the point of staying here.The other party has already fully known his biggest cooperation strategy.Moreover, the Tang Dynasty company led by Chen Jiayi has all the financial resources.Even with the engine in hand, I am afraid that within a few months, an input method software based on "search engine" technology will be created.

After finishing speaking, Zhong Jingtian was about to leave.

"Hey, brother Zhong, why are you in such a hurry, our cooperation hasn't been discussed yet?"

"Cooperation?"

What cooperation can we talk about now?

"Yes, it is cooperation."

Chen Jia laughed.

Although I thought of this input method idea, it was only after Zhong Jingtian reminded me that I recalled it.Otherwise, there are so many things in the future, how could Chen Jiayi think of so many things.It is impossible for him to think about a lot of new products in the future all the time.Even if he wanted to, he would forget some relatively small things.

For example, Chen Jiayi had already forgotten about this input method software.Now being reminded by Zhong Jingtian, Shi only remembered it.

"How to cooperate?"

"If Tang Dynasty Company asks you to be responsible for the production of this input method, what do you think?"

Don't look at a small idea, but for many people, it is impossible to think of in a lifetime.Today, Zhong Jingtian has not only created the memory input method, but also can see the great role of the search engine in the input method even though the search engine is not very perfect. This talent is not insignificant.Therefore, asking Zhong Jingtian to take charge can be regarded as making the best of his talents.

"Please me?"

After the disappointment just now, Zhong Jingtian couldn't believe the sudden huge contrast.

"It's you."

……

Linchuan Public Security Bureau.

"You, what do you think?"

A group of students and a group of social gangsters, just today, dozens of people were all arrested.

"I don't want to do anything, maliciously commit murder... I think it will be locked up for a year."

One of the officers obviously knew some of them, probably these guys already had a record.

"Police Liu, don't fool me. Although we wanted to teach those boys a lesson, we also attempted to commit murder."

A few punks cried bitterly, and then gave the students next to them a hard look.If it weren't for them, would they have been caught by these policemen?Moreover, being caught this time was really depressing.When it was said that they were going to attack, a group of criminal policemen fell from the sky. tm, as if it was specially designed to protect him.

"Special protection?"

I made a move, and when I thought of this, the gangsters gasped.

Is this a coincidence?

"It seems that you know some methods, yes, yes, but your luck is too bad, you have offended people you shouldn't have offended."

The officer sneered.Then he continued, "Linchuan is no longer the Linchuan of the past. When you go out in the future, you should find a proper job. Otherwise, you will suffer sooner or later."

Now Linchuan is getting more and more attention from the state.Like these little gangsters, they can't be punished if they don't commit crimes.But if caught, I'm afraid he will shed a layer of skin even if he doesn't die.Fortunately, these guys really attempted murder.Otherwise, locking them up for ten or eight years would be a matter of one sentence.

After speaking, the police officer left.But the dozens of punks didn't know what they were thinking.There are those who are amazed and those who are contemplative.

……

A few days later, Tangchao Software secretly established the Tangchao Input Method Department, and it was Zhong Jingtian who was in charge of the project.

"Shocking, tell me, how should our input method make money?"

The Tang Dynasty input method has joined forces with Baidu and is making it in secret.Taking advantage of spare time, Chen Jiayi asked Zhong Jingtian a question.

"The profitability of the input method is relatively simple. Currently, in our planning, there is only advertising."

The advertisement mentioned here is not the same as the advertisement released by tt software.Instead, it advertises certain companies during the installation of input method software.For example, when installing an input method, install some other small software for others by the way, which serves as an advertisement for other small software.

However, if it's just this one function, it's too single.

"any left?"

In fact, not only is the profitability of current input method software single, but the profitability of future input method software is also very single.Even if the input method is connected to the Internet, the profitability - sex - has not increased much.

"Actually, Mr. Chen..."

Zhong Jingtian thought for a while, as if he was considering whether he could say something.

"Why, just tell me if you have any suggestions."

Zhong Jingtian is just a student who has not yet graduated, and his plasticity is very strong.Chen Jiayi likes this kind of innovative subordinates very much, and he also wants to train them as much as possible.Therefore, these few days, Chen Jiayi planned to train Zhong Jingtian well.Perhaps, in the next few years, he will be another "Zhao Danyang" of Tang Dynasty information.

"I think it doesn't matter whether our input method is profitable or not."

"Oh, what do you say?"

Chen Jia asked Zhong Jingtian in surprise.

"Compared with other software, the input method software is a must-use software for installation, and it is also very important. However, this software has its own limitations, that is, it is too small. In this way, it also limits greater commerciality. I Thinking about this input method as an advertisement for Tang Dynasty Company, the effect is more significant than advertising by yourself.”

This is Zhong Jingtian's thought.

When this idea came out, Chen Jiayi was moved when he heard it.He didn't expect that Zhong Jingtian's eyes were so sharp.

"That's right, I didn't intend to regard the input method as a profit-sexual-software."

There are a lot of input methods in later generations, but none of them are profitable.Moreover, even the relatively strong Sogou Pinyin input method does not make much profit.However, the additional profit generated by using the input method is greater than the simple profit.Just like this input method software, if you can achieve a unified pinyin input method in China, then everyone in the country will have your Tang Dynasty software installed in their computers. advertising effect.

Moreover, it is impossible for Tang Dynasty Company to achieve rapid growth of several times.Then, Tang Dynasty Company must use all the resources that can be beneficial to maintain everything that has been worked hard.To visualize it, we compare the official affairs of the Tang Dynasty to a supermarket. In the supermarket, there are only a few kinds of relatively large profits.Like Tangchao tt, Tangchao Internet, Tangchao Athletics, etc... However, a supermarket cannot only have these products, and he also needs some other small things to decorate these main products.

Therefore, when users use these small software, they will also think of some of his other products.For example, when we use the Tangchao input method, you will think that he also has Tangchao tt, Tangchao Internet, Tangchao animation... a lot, this is the advertisement brought by the entire input method.

Although there is no direct profit, the indirect profit is very large.
