Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 182 PP (X) YY (V)

It turns out that this is the legendary young and handsome boss

Everyone present had bright eyes and applauded, and some female employees even screamed excitedly.

Chen Hao greeted everyone. Everyone knew that the two big guys had something to talk about, so they left the conference room with excitement.

After the group of people went out, they returned to their workstations and chatted with others. After a while, there was a lot of chatter outside and could even be heard in the conference room. This shows the excitement of the employees of the Guangyan Center.

There was no way, this group of people thought that this place had been abandoned by the headquarters a long time ago. They were like children raised by stepmothers. The headquarters had ignored them for several months, and Brother Long was either arranging work or walking on the road of arranging work.

If no one comes here, it will be a big deal. Once he comes, he will be the big BOSS. How can these people not be excited.

Listening to the commotion outside, Chen Hao raised his hand and waved outside, very approachable.

He turned to Brother Xiaolong and asked, "Let's go and have a chat in your office?"

Zhang Xiaolong pointed to a workstation outside by the aisle, "I don't have an office, so that's my workstation. Let's talk here."

Chen Hao gave a thumbs up, you are still awesome!

At Zhang Xiaolong's notice, nearly a hundred employees of the Guangyan Center were summoned.

Fortunately, Chen Hao was tall enough to stand at the front. He first introduced himself to everyone, then reiterated the strategic importance of the Guangyan Center to the company and the purpose of his visit, and gave a few words of encouragement to everyone present.

Finally, he joked that if there are any classmates who want to sue Zhang Xiaolong, there is no such store in this village.

For a time, the scene was filled with a happy atmosphere.

In fact, Chen Hao came here for three purposes. One of them was to check the current situation of Foxmail.

Plan the PP carefully with Zhang Xiaolong. After all, the house has a frame and needs to be decorated. How to determine the decoration style?This is the meaning of his coming, and this is the second one.

The third is to build a world gaming platform, planning to build all Century Interactive Entertainment's products into a platform similar to Blizzard Battle.net in the future.

Nowadays, Blizzard Battle.net is extremely simple. It mainly exists to facilitate players to connect Diablo 2 and StarCraft 2 on the Internet.

In the next few days, Chen Hao and Zhang Xiaolong began to retreat.

If the employees of Guangyan Center are looking for Zhang Xiaolong and find that he is not at his work station, no need to think about it, he must be in the small conference room at the end, having a meeting with his boss.

From time to time, there would be sounds of slamming on the table, which startled them at first, but later they discovered that every time they came out, they would either dislike each other and go their separate ways, or they would put their arms around each other and act like two brothers. Since there was no third possibility, this group of people just accepted it and ignored the surprise of these two people.

One day, during the discussion, Chen Hao received a call from Zhou Xiao. After listening for a while, he asked him to handle it on his own, and continued the meeting without getting involved.

After several days of discussion, although there were many differences, we finally found relative unity and determined the development direction of the next several software products of the Guangyan Center.

The first is foxmail:

1. First, it was decided to optimize the current page with a minimalist style UI that supports skin switching. At the same time, we planned and designed several sets of email theme skins, such as ink, ancient style, science fiction, etc., to allow users to choose independently.

2. Add title and text Chinese search functions, match by keywords, and filter target emails to facilitate users to search for relevant emails.

3. Add batch processing function to facilitate users to perform batch operations.

4. Launch the scheduled spam cleaning function

5. Compatible with Outlook and other mailboxes, and adds the function of portable moving.

The second one is the voice communication software YY.

You read that right, YY!

This is because classmate Zhang Xiaolong protested strongly. It was difficult to talk to him on the phone before. This time he met the real person and directly challenged him. He must change his name, otherwise he refused to develop it and even slapped the table to show his stance.

Just change it, why are you so anxious? Then Chen Hao casually named it YY. Although the former didn't know what it meant, at least it sounded much better than Butt.

<divclass="contentadv">After all, he remembered that YY seemed to be released a few years ago, and whoever uses the name first gets it these days.

The current YY can only be considered usable, and there is still some distance before it can be launched on the market, and some functions need to be added.

The first step is to optimize from several aspects.

1. High sound quality, clear and stable call quality is the core of the core.

2. Low power consumption. Nowadays, online games have taken up most of the computer power consumption. At the same time, restarting YY will further increase the burden on the host, so the occupied system resources need to be extremely low. It must not affect large-scale software. or the operation of online games.

3. User experience, optimize user operation steps, and the core link process should not exceed three times.

4. The page has a minimalist style, focusing on convenience, speed and simplicity.

5. Stability, Chen Hao placed high demands on Zhang Xiaolong at the server, network, communication link and other levels.

Because he remembered that MiLiao was released two months earlier than WeChat, taking the first-mover advantage and seizing Taipan market share. Although part of the reason was that Lei Jun focused on Mi UI and Xiaomi mobile phones at the time, he underestimated the popularity of the market. The resulting server instability and frequent problems were also one of the reasons for failure. As a result, WeChat came from behind and achieved overtake.

Of course, WeChat’s counterattack was not only due to the instability of the MiLiao server, but also because of QQ’s huge social network, etc., which I won’t go into here.

The above are several hard indicators based on instant messaging. The following is the key point of difference between Chen Hao and Zhang Xiaolong.

Chen Hao tried every possible means to do multiplication by stepping on the accelerator, but Zhang Xiaolong refused to do so by pressing the brakes and doing subtraction.

Finally, after "friendly" communication and negotiation, the following aspects were determined.

First, introduce friends and groups, and connect them with the Century series game account system to facilitate import.

Second, add a game section. After logging into YY, a game news box will pop up by default. Under Zhang Xiaolong’s suggestion, a setting that can be closed after startup was added.

Third, add the concept of a chat room, where up to a hundred people can chat. The room administrator can add permissions and designate people to speak.

Fourth, it is easy to share. Through the chat channel ID, you can directly jump to the chat room of the corresponding channel after entering it in the search bar.

Fifth, friend relationships and groups on YY can be classified based on games.Below is the game functional area, which can automatically open the official website page, open up existing Century Online games, and start the game with one click.

The third is the World Game Platform, which is, to put it bluntly, an aggregated game platform client.

Users can log in to this platform and start the game directly, or download uninstalled Century-branded games, which will provide various functions.

For example, Century series game information, recharge services, Taoyoubao web portal, etc.

Century series accounts are integrated and unified and horizontally connected with its products.

In the end, the three clients of Shiyou Platform, YY and Foxmail were linked together, and each was placed at the entrance to attract traffic to each other. It was perfect.

With the help of Zhang Xiaolong, these three plans were determined, which are basically similar to the products in Chen Hao's memory.

Then the current Guangyan technical team will be split according to the ratio of 2 (foxmail): 5 (YY): 3 (World Travel Platform), and the three projects will be run in parallel.

Everything is going well and the situation is great.

Originally, Chen Hao planned to continue to work with Zhang Xiaolong and the product managers below to come up with the plan in the next period of time to avoid going astray.

As a result, something happened that completely disrupted his plan.

Because something happened to the headquarters, specifically Century Interactive Entertainment.
