Chapter 160: Howling Fox's Thoughts

"Penguin?" Zhang Chaoyang was a little strange.

Xia Chu nodded and said, "That's right, it's this software. It's not a portal website, but an instant messaging software. After applying for an account and logging in, you can type and chat with another person who logs in anytime and anywhere. The startup time was February this year, less than half a year, and with yesterday's advertisements, the number of users of this software has reached nearly 200,000."

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned. What does 200,000 mean? It represents one-fifth of the users of the entire Internet.

Originally, these million users have always been exclusive to the three of them. Soohu Bridegroom NetEase has suddenly come up with a new software, which has directly gained nearly 200,000 users. Who can avoid panic in the three companies?

But the only thing that made Zhang Chaoyang feel is that the functions of this software do not overlap with the portal website, and using this software will not prevent users from accessing their portal website.

But everyone is smart, so there must be a reason Xia Chu was able to pick up this software separately.

Soon, Zhang Chaoyang thought of something.

The more users of this software, when the software begins to change, for example, when they also develop a portal, those original users will flow to their portal, thus plundering the market in disguise.

Regardless of whether the founder of Penguin has this idea or not, he has to be careful.

Even if he is not careful, the groom and NetEase will definitely take action, and there is no need to think about this.

Since that's the case, Zhang Chaoyang definitely hopes to take action in advance.

"So what do you mean?" Zhang Chaoyang asked expectantly at this elementary school girl who is not yet twenty.

"Make an exact same one to seize their market share! As long as they cannot develop, they will not be able to threaten the existing market." Xia Chu went straight to the point.

"What if someone sues you for plagiarism?" Zhang Chaoyang suddenly smiled with a playful smile.

Xia Chu snorted disdainfully: "Their software was not invented by themselves. The first one to invent instant messaging was three Israeli soldiers. Their software was called icq, which means iSeekyou. What I meant when I found you, once published, it became popular on the Internet. And the first Chinese to imitate this software was not a penguin, but a side of Wanwan, called picq. The penguin was the third one, called oicq. Since they could imitate, why can't we imitate it?"

Xia Chu's replies made Zhang Chaoyang give him a thumbs up in admiration.

"Very good, Xia Chu, you are a genius in business administration. I'm going to let you advance this matter. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."

"I will copy one for you in three days." Xia Chu said with a stern and decisive manner.

Chu Han, who was far away in the deep city, had no idea that his penguin had been targeted by someone, and the one who targeted the penguin was officially his old acquaintance, Xia Chu.

Recently, due to the sharp increase in Penguin's user base and the emergence of a charging model, Penguin has finally made a profit successfully.

It’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to recharge virtual items at this time, and you need to use a point card.

This made Chu Han very unhappy, and it was too inconvenient to recharge.

So Chu Han had an idea and paid the mobile phone in advance.

Of course, don’t think too much about it. It’s not the mobile payment you understand, but another God-like cooperation between Penguin and the three major communication operators.

Whenever a Penguin user wants to recharge money in his account, he only needs to send a text message to the specified number and then explain how much to recharge. Once the text message passes, there will be an extra virtual money in the Penguin account, and the deduction will be the user's mobile phone fee.

This is the earliest mobile payment.

In this way, the three major companies can still choose to take commissions in recharge. This concession is certain. If you want to cooperate with them, you will not give them benefits. How can you cooperate in the future?

So, within just three days, Zhang Zhidong visited the three major operators to discuss the matter with them.

Penguin has nearly 200,000 users, and they are confident when discussing matters with others. Soon, Zhang Zhidong handled this matter.

But this caused another problem for users. The point cards are still being sold, but when you buy a point card worth ten yuan, the rechargeable virtual currency is ten yuan. If you choose to recharge ten yuan with SMS, the only one that arrives is only seven yuan. At that time, the operator was very good, and directly chose to draw three levels.

But there is no way, many people still choose this recharge method.

Because I am lazy, I have to go downstairs to buy a card, walk, and go to the store. Isn’t it nice to recharge successfully while sitting in an Internet cafe using my phone?

The three major operators also increased their profits due to the cooperation agreement reached with Penguin.

This is mutually beneficial cooperation, and everyone wins with each other.

When one day, Penguin's income suddenly reached 100,000 yuan, everyone knew that their direction was right, and Chu Han also knew that his investment began to earn money.

After having a meal with the founders of Penguin and having a chat about the future, Chu Han found Xu Ze again.

When Chu Han first came, Xu Ze said he would be busy with the project for a week. Now, half a month has passed, so the project should be almost busy.

During this period in Shenzhen, Chu Han kept in touch with Xu Ze, and even had a meal together from time to time. Penguin successfully made a profit. Chu Han was also very happy. The next night after he finished his meal with Penguin, he called Xu Ze and planned to have a meal together again.

When he heard that it was a dinner invitation, Xu Ze's tired voice came: "Okay, I haven't gone out to eat for a long time. We haven't drunk alcohol together yet, right? Let's drink some together."

"You are in a wrong state?" Chu Han asked.

"There are some problems with the research and development. The pressure has been a bit high recently. It's time for me to take a break. Give me the address. I'll go there now." Xu Ze said.

"I'm here in Futian District."

"Is Huaqiangbei? Okay, I'm here."

"Be careful when driving."

"kindness!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Han returned to his rental house.

After he signed the contract with Xiao Ma Ge, Chu Han left the hotel and rented a room by himself. It was a well-decorated room in the community. He had no special effort when he moved in with his bag.

In two months, 3,000 yuan, the housing prices in Shenzhen have begun to show signs.

After taking a simple shower, Chu Han went out in a big vest with slippers.

After a while, Xu Ze also appeared in front of Chu Han.

Xu Ze and his first meeting seemed to be a little different. When they first met him, they were very energetic and handsome, but at this moment, Xu Ze had his chin covered with stubble, his eyes were covered with blood, and his hair was invisible at all. He seemed to have been decadent for half a month.
