Chapter 392 Change the world together
The first sentence Ren Pingsheng asked was not to mention his thoughts, but to ask:
"What do you think of the Weibo product?"
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he thought for a while and said:
"Weibo and Twitter are essentially a media forum with social attributes. They are driven by hot events and news information. Each large V account is a small media platform with its own traffic. They attract followers by producing and disseminating information, and also realize their own information dissemination through followers. In other words, the first nature of Weibo is media, and the second nature is social."
When talking about the product field, Zhang Xiaolong changed his previous situation of listening more and talking less, and began to become talkative.
"On Weibo, only the latest, most advanced and most unexpected information will attract the most people to watch and attract the most fans to follow. Therefore, what the big vs on Weibo show to the outside world is their best side, not the most real side."
Zhang Xiaolong described the product logic and development direction of Weibo in just a few words, and his profile of Weibo users was completely correct. This keen and profound observation can indeed be called the title of the best product manager.
Ren Pingsheng thought for a while and asked:
"Is this why you are more willing to use Fanguo than Weibo?"
Zhang Xiaolong nodded, shook his head again, and said:
"Using a fan is a habit. I am a nostalgic person. Once I get used to a place and identify something, I rarely take the initiative to change it."
"Fan Fan is restricted from developing, which is a good thing for Weibo, but for me, it doesn't matter much. I just need a place to express myself. It doesn't matter where this place is."
Ren Pingsheng nodded and agreed:
"Compared with Weibo, there are not many media factors on Fanfu. People who can use Fanfu are happy to share their real life. This place is purer and closer to the original intention of socializing."
Zhang Xiaolong took out a pack of kent and signaled:
"Do you smoke?"
Ren Pingsheng nodded, took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Xiaolong, and the two of them lit it and took a few sips.
Zhang Xiaolong looked at the smoke lingering in his fingers and said:
"When I was working on software, I only accompanied me for more than ten years."
Ren Pingsheng knew that Zhang Xiaolong had the habit of smoking. Judging from his yellow index finger and thumb, he was a senior smoker.
"Now there is another Fanfu. Whenever I have any ideas but have not really formed my ideas, I am more willing to write them on Fanfu. I don't need many people to pay attention to or talk to many people, but when I write these ideas, I seem to have an independent space, a space for myself to talk to myself."
Zhang Xiaolong said slowly, as if he was not talking to Ren Pingsheng, but seemed to be talking to his soul.
This feeling is very wonderful, especially after Ren Pingsheng read all 500 fanfares posted on the @gzallen Fanfu account, he can deeply understand the loneliness and loneliness of this top programmer and product manager.
In @gzallen (Zhang Xiaolong) Fanfu, what you see is a complete, free, real Zhang Xiaolong, who can chat, be cute, lyrical, write poetry, write jokes, talk about products, take photos, and scold people.
On Fanfu, Zhang Xiaolong's actions are different from almost everything that every normal netizen would do. He will share and complain about subtle phenomena in life, ignore the upper and lower case when posting product names, and swear when shocked, record life details, and summarize the rules of things he sees.
Sometimes, he would take a picture and upload it, and show his literary talent if he had nothing to do.
At this point, Zhang Xiaolong does conform to the world's stereotypes about programmers: they are bored on the outside and sexy on the inside.
Although Zhang Xiaolong has always been a lonely genius in the outside world's description, silence to the outside does not mean that his heart is pale.
Since he is truly alive, no matter how far away he is from the world, he still has his own life and insights, and needs to satisfy the desire for display and viewpoints in human nature to be recognized.
Ren Pingsheng exhaled a smoke ring and said softly:
"Expression is human nature, and it is the biggest difference between humans and animals."
Zhang Xiaolong nodded and stopped talking.
This is his character, leaving his true side on the Internet and in the virtual world.
In reality, Zhang Xiaolong is almost the opposite of him.
Ren Pingsheng decided to get to the topic of this time. He put half of the cigarette butts out in the ashtray, sat upright, and said seriously:
"Do you remember the 'one' I told you last time?"
Zhang Xiaolong nodded. Obviously he was impressed by Ren Pingsheng's words @官网官网. He thought for a while and said:
"Your philosophy is good, but it's not that simple to do. So far, only qq can do this."
Ren Pingsheng said calmly:
"QQ has too many historical traces. History can bring glory to it, but it will also drag it down and make it unable to move forward."
Zhang Xiaolong stopped talking, and a deep thought expression appeared in his eyes.
Ren Pingsheng continued to inspire:
"What must they do if they want to continue to contact each other for the first time?"
Zhang Xiaolong said slowly:
"Leave a mobile phone number, or qq number, email address?"
Ren Pingsheng nodded and said:
"Look, when everyone answers this question, the first choice is mobile phone number."
"That is to say, mobile phones are the most popular contact tool for people. If you know the other party's mobile phone number, you can contact the other party, why do you still need to register for QQ and email?"
It was obvious that Zhang Xiaolong had never considered what Ren Pingsheng said before, so his eyebrows tightened again, and he asked back:
"But, in reality, there are always some people who are not used to communicating with others in person and do not like contact information like making phone calls."
Ren Pingsheng slapped his hands and said in harmony:
"Yes, so we need a brand new product. It does not require registration. Just enter the mobile phone number and you can automatically contact the other party; it is always online and can accept other people's information at any time. There is no invisible operation option; it does not require you to hang up or push advertisements to you. Its only function is: find the other party, communicate with the other party, and then close it."
What Ren Pingsheng described is the design principle of later generations such as kik\\whatapp\\WeChat. It is a cross-platform instant messaging (im) software that can directly establish connections with contacts based on local address book, and on this basis, realizes functions such as free SMS chat, incoming call big posts, and personal status synchronization.
However, when Ren Pingsheng proposed this concept, he was nearly a year ahead of the first whatapp to be released. This foresight is enough to shake the world.
As a genius product manager, Zhang Xiaolong was completely inspired by Ren Pingsheng's ideas, and he replied:
"The weakness of mobile QQ is precisely because of its many additional functions that make the entire application look extremely bloated and inefficient, which makes users afraid."
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes showed a deep thought expression and murmured to himself:
"Reduce complicated options and do the most basic functions well. A good product should reduce the disturbance and time consumption of users, and should leave immediately after use."
Ren Pingsheng finally smiled.
He understood that Zhang Xiaolong's mind had formed the prototype of this product.
All of this started with Ren Pingsheng's words.
So, Ren Pingsheng leaned forward, looked at Zhang Xiaolong confidently, and solemnly spoke out the invitation:
"Let's work together to make a product that can change the world."
Chapter completed!
