Chapter 1745 - 1844: Approval

Chapter 1745: Chapter 1844: Approval

He found that no matter what he did, he was always the one with the worst luck.

Thinking about the 5,000 yuan monthly salary, and the 1 million year-end bonus, Chen Yidan patted Da Li’s shoulder

Da Li shrugged and compromised:

"Yeah, think about something nice, why stress every day?"

In the meeting room

Compared to the earlier tension, the six people sitting now seemed extremely relaxed. Su He naturally didn’t say anything, they were all young people, one team, making the product bigger and stronger is the main priority

Before discussing profitability and streamlining procedures, let me outline some upcoming work requirements!

Su He’s efficiency was indeed impressive, of course, he had already drafted some plans before coming here. First, the company’s office location definitely needs a change, this place is too shabby. Da Li: ·Yeah

Zhang Zhidong: Support! Xu Chengye:

"Agreed 1" Chen Yidan:

"This suggestion is very good, I agree!"

Ma Dateng

Second, the departments need some planning, for now, I plan to set up development, HR, business, finance, and advertising departments!

Dong Ge will be the head of the development department, Old Xu in HR, not to mention the business department, the finance department is currently managed by little Ma’s dad, little Ma you take overall charge, Da Li will be in charge of the advertising department, mainly liaising with some websites and setting up download points. Su He temporarily assigned the personnel, and little Ma’s dad in finance can’t be moved for now, but after things are regulated, he will definitely be replaced with their own people.

Third, is recruitment

Especially in the development department, let’s hire 20 programmers first, this is for you and Dong Ge to discuss, among the 20

The specific program directions, whether it’s server-side or data optimization, encryption talents are also needed!

Salary temporarily set at 2000 per person

Su He outlined his vision for the company:

"Little Ma, Dong Ge, you guys, do you have any supplements"

"What supplements!"

Su He practically set the development direction of a large company, Ma Dateng couldn’t believe it, wasn’t this guy Su He planning on acquiring their Penguin long ago? Otherwise, how could he just acquired us and immediately proposed so many suggestions? Alright, since there are no additions, we move on to the next segment!

Of course, after you go back, you can all think about it and then call me... By the way, I’ll provide each of you with a phone and a laptop, but you must stay online 24 hours a day. Of course, Su He wouldn’t be stingy, after all, all of these are necessary for the company’s development, being willing to invest, to get quicker returns

But when everyone heard this plan, they were undoubtedly a bit excited Long live the boss!

Da Li has become Su He’s second biggest fan, and Ma Dateng is probably not far off, because his face was full of excitement, this boss is just too generous, giving away phones and laptops at will. Let’s first talk about streamlining the program.

Su He knew very well that in his previous life, Penguin was able to dominate all similar products in the market because of the simplicity of initial installation; even after updating hundreds of versions, it never exceeded 10 M.

By 2003, after Penguin had expanded, the installation package started becoming bloated, as at that time QQ had already dominated the entire market, and no longer needed to rely on installation packages to expand, plus the network improved, QQ’s direction had become all-in-one, so the more features added, the more users welcomed them.

In fact, streamlining is simple, just change the communication technology a bit, we’ll adopt UDP User Datagram Protocol technology to replace the current TCP Transmission Control Protocol technology!

That is to say, we’ll move all user content and friend lists from the client to the back-end server!

This increases the server’s burden, but actually reduces the program’s size. Moreover, the advantage of this protocol is that users are unaware, factually, once a piece of information is transmitted, it’s not stored on the computer, but on the server.

Su He’s one sentence left Zhang Zhidong and Ma Dateng dumbfounded, they suddenly understood, Holy crap, genius idea!

Changing the protocol layer, turning the program from instant messaging into a simple chat software, like SMS?

So damn awesome, boss, how the f*ck did you come up with this?

This is mind-blowingly amazing!

The entire meeting room was in an uproar, everyone

looking at Su He with admiration in their eyes.

This brilliant idea, how did he come up with it?

This simply doesn’t seem human.

Perhaps only programmers like Ma Dateng and Zhang Zhidong could understand just how genius Su He’s proposal was?!

With such a simple transformation, the program could be instantly compressed by 10 times, without affecting the user experience.

In fact, this plan was actually the brainchild of a genius programmer Wu Xiaoguang, who Penguin was about to hire.

Su He... just happened to reveal it in advance.

What about profitability?

Boss, hurry up and talk about profitability, hahaha, I’m already eager to see our little Penguin making money for me. Da Li was also full of admiration for Su He, staring at Su He intently, eagerly awaiting his next announcement. Ma Dateng also perked up his ears, suddenly, he was no longer so resistant to selling Penguin.

How can he know so many genius ideas? This simply is like receiving guidance from an immortal!

In fact, Penguin’s money-making projects are numerous.

Anyone from 2019 can randomly point out a few, like QQ membership, Honor of Kings, Q coins, and so on, almost everyone could name a few.

In fact, in 1999, Penguin really had no obvious way to make money. Who would advertise for you, isn’t the chat window less appealing than portals like Sina, NetEase?

The space was only so big, occupying an ad space, the first thought of users was not to click, but to uninstall.

Therefore, this plan was clearly a pass.

As for the famous QQ membership, Red Diamond, Green Diamond, and so on, in 1999, they couldn’t possibly succeed.

The user base was too small, and secondly, the value-added services for members lacked distinctive features, so no user was willing to pay 10 yuan a month. These things only rolled out later when QQ’s user base reached hundreds of millions, offering value-added services like growth acceleration, QQ group permissions, increasing group numbers, etc.

Right now, there are only tens of thousands of users, and QQ was still in its original 1999 version, let alone QQ groups, it didn’t even have QQ Show, launching membership would only invite user backlash, leading to more uninstalls, ultimately being counterproductive.

So, QQ’s current potential for generating revenue is something almost no one could see. This was also a constant concern for Ma Huafu and his founders before bed each night.

How do we make money?

We can’t just let QQ users grow indefinitely, buying servers one after another, desperately pouring money in, without any returns? ℯℯ𝑙.

What’s the point of having this company then

It’s entirely like an endless money pit.

In the previous lifetime, when Ma Dateng couldn’t hold on and wanted to sell Penguin, many bosses turned away,

Penguin couldn’t even be sold, for this very reason.

No one knew how to make a profit.

Even Ma Dateng himself, he was also very confused.

The five founders sat there, wide-eyed, staring at Su He, who smiled at them, and then pulled out his Nokia 7710 from his pocket.
