Tencent has only one office with an area of ​​more than 30 square meters. The inside is full of bosses and no serious employee. The cleaners look for property management every week to solve the problem.

Even three of Tencent’s five founders are still working in their original company. Because the company’s prospects are unclear, it is possible that they will be disbanded if they are disbanded. They have to keep their previous work, at least they can leave a way out for themselves.

When Song Weiyang came to Tencent, there was only one person in the company: Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong was typing on the keyboard to write a program. When he heard the sound at the door, he didn't raise his head: "Is Li Qing back? Have you been pulling the business?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "The blind monk went to jungle again?"

Zhang Zhidong found out that he had recognized the wrong person and looked up and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'll look for a pony." Song Weiyang said.

"Xiaoma will come after getting off work, please wait." Zhang Zhidong said as he continued to type in the keyboard.

Song Weiyang was not polite either. He turned on a computer, dialed the Internet and started to go to the chat room, and was having a lot of fun fighting with a group of silly swearing.

Suddenly, the blind monk who went out to play jungle came back.

Zeng Liqing shouted as soon as he entered the company: "Old Zhang, I got the order! Shenzhen City Information Port promised us to build an email system, with a quotation of 300,000 yuan, a total of 300,000 yuan!"

Yes, Tencent is snatching NetEase's business again. They found that it was very profitable to build an email system, so they used their previous personal relationship to receive email lists.

"Really?" Zhang Zhidong suddenly stood up. Without any income, the company would be almost out of business.

Zeng Liqing then found that there were two strangers in the company. He glanced at Song Weiyang curiously and asked, "Old Zhang, are these two customers? They look familiar."

Zhang Zhidong said: "Here to find Xiaoma."

"Looking for Brother Ma?" Zeng Liqing immediately reacted, "You are Boss Song Weiyang and Song!"

"Hello." Song Weiyang smiled.

Zhang Zhidong suddenly came back to his taste and shook hands repeatedly and said, "Boss Song, I was negligent just now, I was disrespectful, I was disrespectful!"

Song Weiyang is definitely a great man in the Internet industry today. He has won Sohu.com in one hand. In the minds of all Internet entrepreneurs, he is a top boss.

The top ten commercial websites in China this year are Sohu, Sina, 163 Email Office, NetEase, Net China, People's Daily website, Shenghai Hotline, Abyte, Capital Online, and Yahoo China. They are all news and information portals, with almost no profit model, and are dedicated to traffic, and content is second. Some rely on the support and development of the owner, some rely on angel investment to grow, and some rely on founder programming to survive.

Lianzhong Games has been founded, but it is inconspicuous. The leader of the Red Clothing Sect has also started to build a navigation website, named 3721, which can only be regarded as a gadget. As for Sogou Search, founded by Ding Ming, has become unknown again after a period of exposure - although many netizens are using Sogou, they are still not favored by the industry.

These days, portals are the king!

Brother Ma is very low-key. Although he has a good personal relationship with Song Weiyang, he never shows off everywhere and only occasionally mentions it to one or two friends.

Everyone, including Zhang Zhidong and Zeng Liqing, knew that Xiao Ma knew Song Weiyang. But what's the use of knowing each other? They never expected that the famous Song Weiyang would actually visit Tencent, a broken company.

Zeng Liqing was quite active. After chatting for a few casual words, he pulled Song Weiyang to look at the computer and pointed to a software and said, "Boss Song, this is the 'wireless network paging system' we developed, which can connect pagers and Internet users. Our system has many functions. Users can send messages to pagers online without making a phone call. There is also email paging service. Users can see their email topics and some content on the pager. There is also network secretary service. Users can enter their daily itinerary on the Internet, and the network secretary will send the schedule to the pager at the set time. By the way, we also have virtual paging service. Users do not need to have a real pager, and friends can directly call the pager to send information to your email address. Isn't it very convenient? This system is very practical. If Boss Song is interested, we Tencent welcome you to invest."

"You Tencent are you fighting with the pager?" Song Weiyang couldn't help but feel funny.

In a few years, no one in China will use pagers, and Tencent's development direction is unique enough.

Zeng Liqing said: "Wireless network paging system is our main business. We also have other businesses, such as helping people make emails and web pages. Our company's technology is very powerful!"

Song Weiyang said: "I heard you made a Chinese version of icq?"

"Oh, you're talking about oicq," said Zhang Zhidong. "That program is still being tested internally, and new features are constantly added, which are more suitable for Chinese people than icq. As long as we purchase our wireless network paging system, we will give away the oicq mini program for free."

Song Weiyang said: "In other words, oicq is not open to the public, it is just an internal product for the paging station?"

Zhang Zhidong said: "We are also preparing to launch a public version, which has been put on the company's agenda. However, this thing has no future, there are many similar products, and there is no profit point at all."

As early as 1997, the Chinese version of icq appeared in Wanwan, called cicq. This year, cicq launched a simplified Chinese version, renamed picq in mainland China. At the same time, similar software also appeared in mainland China, called "Internet Elf".

With Brother Xiao Ma’s usual style, he has made so much money from IQ abroad, how could he not pay attention?

Before founding Tencent, Xiao Ma planned to do the Chinese version of icq, but he discussed it with many colleagues and everyone thought that it would not make money.

But why did Brother Ma do it again?

This has to start with Huadu Telecom. Huadu Telecom announced a bidding news and wanted to buy an instant chat tool similar to icq. Brother Xiaoma was worried that the company had no business, so he developed software and went to bid, but it was naturally no chance. Huadu Telecom had already selected a partner, which was the Wanwan company. The public bidding was just a procedure.

Song Weiyang opened the internal test program of OICQ and registered an account number with the number 10006. After using it a few times, Song Weiyang asked with a smile: "If this thing is changed to a computer, will the friend list you added before still be there?"

Zhang Zhidong said: "Of course there is no more, it must be added again."

"Why don't you make one? You can see friends' online chat tool if you change your computer?" Song Weiyang said.

Zhang Zhidong said: "Then you have to rent a server, it costs money."

Song Weiyang said speechlessly: "This reason is very true."

After chatting endlessly for a while, the other three founders of Tencent finally arrived in a hurry. They usually have to go to work, but only after get off work or on weekends will they come to work in their own company.

Of course, you can catch fish during working hours.

Brother Xiao Ma often works in Runxun Company, which is doing paging business. He uses other people's phone calls and conducts telephone marketing for Tencent all day long.

"Boss Song, why are you here in person?" Chen Yidan and Xu Chenhua were also very surprised.

In addition, Brother Ma, Tencent Five Tigers are these five.

Song Weiyang pointed to Oicq and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Ma, give me No. 10001, and I agree to invest in Tencent."

Brother Ma said indifferently: "You can take it if you don't invest."

"I'm serious." Song Weiyang said.

"Are you really willing to invest?" Brother Ma was quite excited.

Brother Ma is not stupid. Judging from the situation in the past few months, the wireless network paging system is a joke. Now he has lost confidence and really doesn't know what to do. Song Weiyang's investment is equal to great news, at least it can maintain the company's death for the time being.

The other four founders also looked at Song Weiyang nervously. They had already invested all their wealth and had long been looking forward to someone taking over.

Song Weiyang said: "I can invest in Tencent, but Tencent must give up the paging business and specialize in OICQ in the future."

Brother Xiaoma asked: "Are you really optimistic about the online live chat program?"

Song Weiyang said: "When I first appeared abroad, I talked to you online. This is a big potential market. However, if you want to defeat similar products in China, you must make improvements."

Brother Ma said, "Tell me, let me see."

Song Weiyang said: "First of all, the smaller the program, the better. Now the Internet speed in China is extremely slow. Many people use Internet cafes again. The Internet fee is very expensive, and it only takes one or two hours to access the Internet at a time. I just looked at your program size. No, when the user downloaded it in the Internet cafe, he had not started online chatting, and it was already there in one or two hours."

Brother Ma nodded and said, "It should indeed be improved."

Song Weiyang also said: "Also, China is different from the United States. Many American netizens have their own computers, so they don't care much about losing their friend list if they change their computers. Most Chinese netizens surf the Internet in Internet cafes. Only chatting tools that do not lose their friend list can ultimately win the market."

"This is the reason." said Brother Ma.

Song Weiyang continued: "Also, changing the name oicq is too difficult to read."

Brother Ma smiled and said, "Then you get a Chinese name."
Chapter completed!
