"Boss, don't worry!"

Benil nodded excitedly and said, "With these good solutions, if I can't change the current problem, then I might as well hit my head and die!"

Benier's words are not exaggerated, but he is really confident. Without Lin Zheng's methods, he would not have any good solutions in the face of the threat of the new live chat software launched by American Online. After all, the strong connections and impressions of American Online make Benier unable to use some shameless means, but if only creativity and competition are used, who else can I be afraid of with these methods?

He knew very well that the number of American Online users was too small to support their use of charging methods, but icq was different. The huge user base and active chat rooms, group functions, etc. were enough to expand icq into a software with a complete ecological chain according to the boss's idea.

"Oh, by the way," Lin Zheng decided to release another big killer: "After all these are done, if the American Online still chases us, we will open a personal space."

"Personal space?" Benier frowned: What is it at this time?

"Well, personal space, you can think of it as a simple personal web page based on icq. IQ provides several standard templates. As long as icq members are supported by these standard templates, they can create their own personal web pages, but at the same time, icq will also launch a member-only 'luxury' personal space... Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I understand." Beniel nodded repeatedly, his face flushed with excitement.

He immediately understood what his boss meant: Although ordinary users can also open personal spaces, they are just a "primary version", but members can have better templates. For high school students and college students who are good at accepting new things, as well as young people who have just worked for a while, this will be the best stage for them to show their image and personality to their friends. When you see that your friends have a more luxurious personal space than your personal space, can you still bear it?

Benier can almost be imagined. At that time, there will inevitably be a large number of ordinary users to be upgraded to members, which is a lot of money!

At this moment, he admired his boss who died: he was still worried about the next source of income for icq. It turned out that the boss had already had a solution.

"It's not just that, we can also launch a small space decoration for members, sold separately. Well, my personal idea is that it tends to be more feminine. You should understand that girls prefer beautiful and shiny little things, and girls' money is always the best to make."

"Good idea!" Benier's eyes were not only shiny, but also shiver.

Yes, in addition to launching exclusive space templates for members, we can also launch some paid decorative pieces! Lin Zheng's words opened a brand new window for Benier, which immediately realized the subtlety of this idea: compared to boys, girls have a stronger comparative mentality. They can compare clothes, clean up, and compare their boyfriends... and compare everything they can compare, but now. The great boss has given these girls who like to compare a new way to compare: see whose personal space is more beautiful!

There is no doubt that a more beautiful personal space costs more money!

As a girl's boyfriend, it is completely understandable to spend a little money to help her girlfriend or girl she likes to buy some small decorations for space, right?

"Boss, your idea is so clever!"

Benier's thumbs were high and excited, so he wanted to call the company's technicians to start the development of these three projects: first launch a paid membership system and icq games. After a while, then launch a personal space... As for what new tricks American Online will have, Benier is not worried at all: a smart boss will definitely have a way to deal with it.

"Stop flattering!" Lin Zheng said lightly.

"It's not that flattering. I really think so," Benier said to Lin Zheng with a serious look on his face: "Boss, although I had been very confident in icq before, at this moment, I suddenly realized that I still underestimated the greatness of our product."

"It's right that you can think of this," although Lin Zheng was still flattering, and Lin Zheng was still very happy. He punched Beniel. Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Old Bei, look at it. Now it's just the beginning. You will find that free icq is actually the most powerful money-making machine in the world... Speaking of this, you must remember that no matter when, icq is always free, and icq's permanent free slogan must be shouted out and let everyone know!"

"Okay, boss, I will definitely let everyone in the world know!" Benil nodded heavily!

In the United States, it is already a consensus of the whole society that you need to pay money with any product. Even the software launched by the United States online requires 10 cents to apply for it. The impact of icq on American society can be imagined, but you can't say icq is a false promise. You must know that even if you don't spend a penny, icq can provide you with some basic functions, but if you want to play better, you will be more respectful in front of your friends, haha...

"Very good, one more thing to remember: be sure to keep it confidential."

———————————————————————

"Boss, this is the latest information from Blizzard that we have collected. They have just launched their own battle network."

"Blizzard launched its own battle network?" Xiaoma's words made Lin Zheng frown into the word "Chuan": Blizzard actually launched its own battle network at this time? It's trouble now.

"Yes," Xiaoma nodded. He knew his company's next development plan and felt that Blizzard's move was very tricky: "It happened last week, but there are not many online users now..."

"It's not a problem to not have many now," Lin Zheng raised his hand to interrupt him before Xiaoma finished speaking, and said in a very serious tone: "Look, if there is no external influence, Blizzard's battle network will definitely be popular all over the world with their superb game quality... Blizzard's people are still very sensible."

"Then do we still need to contact them?" After hesitating, Xiao Ma asked Lin Zheng carefully.

"Contact, why not contact?" Lin Zheng smiled when he heard Xiaoma's question: "It's one thing that Blizzard launched its own battle network, but obviously they don't even have enough confidence in this battle network. Otherwise, how could Blizzard not make much publicity? And I believe that the icq platform is attractive to Blizzard, otherwise they don't have to agree to our access request."

It seems...it's really like this. Xiao Ma, who was a little confused by the news that Blizzard formed the Battle Network by himself, realized that the matter was actually far from as serious as he thought. So he touched his head embarrassedly, and looked at his boss with great admiration: Why can the boss keep himself calm enough in the face of such a big event?

………………………………………

When Lin Zheng and Xiao Ma and Xiao Ding were discussing how much impact Blizzard's Battle Network had on IQ's next move, it was coincidentally that Blizzard's three co-founders: President Allenadham, Vice President Mike and Chief Programmer Frankpearce were also discussing Lin Zheng and IQ.

As the president and CEO of Blizzard, allenadham is not afraid to use the worst information to figure out Lin Zheng’s purpose: “Hi guys, I think the chairman of icq seems to have a bad intention.”

"We Blizzard is the best company in the industry, and IQ is the best IT company now. They have some ideas about us. Allen, you have to know that the number of registered users of IQ in your heart will soon reach 130 million! Man, this is 130 million!" Frankpearce exaggeratedly screamed. As Blizzard's chief programmer, Frankpearce values ​​IQ's huge user base more. "Do you know what such a huge user base means to us Blizzard?"

Of course everyone knows what this means. This means that if Blizzard can reach a win-win cooperation with IQ that satisfies everyone, Blizzard will jump from a self-proclaimed "the best company in the industry" to a real "the best company in the industry" that is recognized by everyone, rather than looking at the faces of old game manufacturers such as EA, Ubisoft, and Sega.

"Of course, frank, you're right, but allen's concerns are real," as the company's vice president, Mike Thaime often plays the role of lubricant between Frankpearce and Allenadham. For example, now, "We all know that if we can cooperate with IQ, it will be a huge good news for Blizzard, but the problem also exists. Blizzard only has the autonomy to develop games."
