Chapter 29 Wind letter
I don’t know if it’s the blessing of a few glasses of wine. Si Yuhang, who doesn’t talk much at the company, actively asked Meng Qian a lot about the game.
Meng Qian didn’t have much reservations, he would not hide it if he could help Si Yuhang. For Meng Qian, talents must be found on the one hand and must be cultivated on the other.
Since we choose to accept these people, we must cultivate them carefully. A company that only knows to wait for talents is the same as a company that only knows to use other people’s technology. In Meng Qian’s view, it will pay the price sooner or later.
Talking until one o’clock in the morning, Meng Qian asked Si Yuhang to go home and rest first, after all, he had to go to work tomorrow. Si Yuhang’s previous grievances have also disappeared after this drink.
When I saw Si Yuhang at the company the next day, Meng Qian noticed that his expression was completely different.
“People at this age have high plasticity.” Meng Qian sighed.
Early in the morning of April 3, 2000, Meng Qian came again to check the design of the five people in the art department. The changes were still great, especially the interface design made by Si Yuhang, which was much simpler and rude.
But under this simplicity and rudeness, it can also reflect the beauty and design points that it should have. Si Yuhang’s talent makes Meng Qian really like it.
In addition to Si Yuhang, another person who surprised Meng Qian was Fu Qinyi. Fu Qinyi and her roommate Li Yidan were responsible for action design and character image design respectively.
As for the action design that Fu Qinyi is in charge of, Meng Qian saw that she marked all the changes this time with the reason for the action design. She is already considering what kind of visual experience the player can bring to the player when the character moves. Even psychological feelings.
Meng Qian nodded his head to express his approval, “Continue to design according to this idea, remember that I told you before that there is another thing for you to do, right?”
All five nodded, and Meng Qian first called someone from the technical department to come along. Recently, the company recruited three more programmers through social recruitment. Now there are eight people in the technical department.
“Which one of you has used QICQ?” Meng Qian asked everyone.
All eight people in the technical department raised their hands, except for Tao Tingting in the art department.
“What do you think of QICQ?”
“QICQ, TICQ, MICQ, PICQ, and ICQ are the top four plagiarists, how do you evaluate them? The plagiarism is pretty good?” Wei Pengtian from the technical department responded with a smile.
“I heard that ICQ is about to sue Penguin.” A new programmer, Yan Zhe, took his mouth.
“People can only say that they have borrowed from ICQ, and QICQ has indeed made a lot of innovations.” Song Zhenluo followed in his comments, “Now these four QICQs are clearly distinguishing themselves.
ICQ sued Penguin, and it is not ruled out that it was because he couldn’t beat a method adopted by our Huaxia market. ”
Seeing that no one continues, Meng Qian said, “I am not asking you to discuss plagiarism or not, but the issue of experience.”
“Convenience is indeed very convenient, and it’s free.” Wei Pengfei was the first to speak again.
Meng Qian nodded, “The two most important points you mentioned just now are really the two most important points. Why I have repeatedly emphasized that instant messaging is critical, because people cannot do without communication.
You should have seen the rapid development of telephones and mobile phones. In my opinion, online instant messaging will develop faster, because instant messaging software is much more convenient than mobile phones and landlines, and it’s free.
Okay, let’s get back to business. Have you noticed that there is an additional software on your computer today? ”
“I see, Fengxin.” Several people replied.
“Did anyone open it?”
“Not yet.” Everyone was shaking their heads.
“In fact, the one I installed for you is the basic internal beta version of our instant messaging software from Dafeng Technology.”
People in the technical department reacted slightly, Song Zhenluo hesitated for a moment or asked, “Meng, did you develop it alone?”
“That’s right.” Meng Qian did not deny it.
“How much time did Meng spend?” Song Zhenluo continued to ask.
“Before and after, two months.”
Several people in the technical department glanced at each other, and it was the newcomer Yan Zhe. “I heard that the penguin horse painting vine took three months to make the first version of QICQ, and it seems that there are two people together.”
Meng Qian smiled and motioned to everyone to stop struggling with this issue. After all, he has the advantage of rebirth to develop it so quickly, there is nothing to be proud of.
The functions of current communication software are very simple, the code is only tens of thousands of lines, and there are many related open source codes in later generations, unlike the QQ in 2019, which has several million lines of code.
“Speaking of business, today I will install the hyacinth for everyone. There are so few tasks.
This version of Fengxin and QICQ are not very different in function. Starting today, everyone will use Fengxin as an internal communication software in the company. The technical department is mainly responsible for finding BUGs during use and comparing them with QICQ. Every week Give me a usage report.
In addition, QICQ has already been deployed in commercial use very well, and the user base has also increased rapidly, so if the game can be made at that time, I will promote our wind letter through the game, and I will put it in a while. The source code is sent to you, and when you develop the game, you will put the wind letter into it.
There is one more thing to say hello to you in advance. In the future, in order to better compete, I will add a few very important functions to Fengxin. After the game is completed, I will tell you.
Then there is the art department. You have to work a little bit harder than the technical side, because now you need to do a very important thing, that is, the interface design of Fengxin, including the login interface, chat interface, address book interface, etc. Wait, I hope the interface will become a major competitive advantage for us in the future.
The design of the game and the Fengxin have to start simultaneously. Thank you for your hard work.
Is there any doubts and difficulties? I will raise them now. ”
“No.” Both sides accepted the arrangement.
“Okay, the last thing, this Friday team building, we will go out together and relax for a day, if you have any fun suggestions and ideas directly to Sister Sun wow ”
Everyone cheered, Meng Qian gestured to everyone to return to work.
Everyone immediately returned to their positions and calmed down, but when Meng Qian entered the office, the outside suddenly became noisy.
Listening to the people outside pressing their voices from time to time fierce discussions came out, Meng Qian leaned at the door and smiled knowingly.
On the evening of April 3, Meng Qian took the last train back to his hometown in He County. April 4, 2000, is Qingming, and Meng Qian will go back to sweep the tomb.
At 5 o’clock in the morning on April 4th, Meng Qian stayed with his parents all morning, chatted with them about what happened in the past few months, and drove back to Hangzhou at noon.
Tomb-sweeping Festival was not a legal holiday in 2000, so everyone had to go to work.
After returning to the office, there was a thick stack of newspapers on Meng Qian’s desk.
After rebirth, reading the newspaper every day has become a life habit of Meng Qian.
made a cup of tea for himself and picked up a newspaper at random. Meng Qian’s attention was immediately caught, and then he changed several newspapers in succession, almost all reporting the same thing.
“The Nasdaq Index plummeted continuously, falling more than 1,000 points in seven days”
“After breaking new lows, can Nasdaq be able to hold the 4000 mark? 》
“Internet stocks continue to plummet, has the bubble been burst? 》
“The U.S. market ushered in panic, Nasdaq will start a 4000-point guard war”
“4000 points, this is just the beginning.” Meng Qian said to himself, “In the end it has to fall to nearly a thousand points.”
slowly put down the newspaper, Meng Qian’s eyes gradually deepened, “The Internet bubble that has been recorded in the annals of history is about to begin to enter the topic…
This is a chance…”
