Yang Fan was stunned, Du Fei was stunned, and the rest of the engineers were also stunned!
Instant messaging, wasn't it just a chatting software? Fang Tian had actually raised it to the level of a software empire's success or failure. Everyone was surprised!
"Is it that important?" Du Fei asked.
Fang Tian thought for a while and asked, "Let me ask you, what is the river with the most traffic in the world?"
Du Fei answered without hesitation, "The Amazon River!"
Fang Tian snapped his fingers. "Yes. Let me tell you, the traffic of an instant messaging software is equivalent to the Amazon River! "
Could it be imagined? The flow of the Amazon River was indeed terrifying!
Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "That's not right. Didn't we also control the browser? Its traffic is also huge!"
Fang Tian drank a mouthful of tea and smiled. "But you have to know that the netizens use the Angel Browser to go to other websites. To put it bluntly, most of the water flows to other places. We can't control it at all. Without a large enough water source, how can we build a software ecosystem? "
Fang Tian drank another mouthful of tea and said, "Instant messaging not only has a huge traffic, but the water source is also easier for us to control. It will become a huge traffic distribution tool! With a sufficient water source, our ecosystem can be built quickly. Videos, music, novels, games … At that time, our software ecosystem will be built! "
Everyone's eyes lit up!
Fang Tian clenched his fist and said, "That's why the key to a software empire's success or failure is in the instant messaging software!"
Currently, the biggest chatting software was "Hurricane Qiuqiu," but his position as the boss was not stable yet. If he was allowed to develop for a few more years, he would become the "Tencent QQ" of this world. At that time, Soft cloud would be powerless.
How could the anti-virus software and email service be compared to him? Look at 360 and NetEase. They were not on the same level as Tencent.
This sense of crisis forced Fang Tian to do this. He had to do it.
Yang Fan finished the last rice ball and asked, "Tian, what's the name of our chat app?"
The engineers were very concerned. Their eyes were all focused on Fang Tian.
Fang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember what I said before? I want to bring all the netizens in the world into the Soft cloud empire?"
"Of course I remember. This dream is too big!" Yang Fan was shocked when he recalled it.
"Therefore, the chatting software is not only targeted within the country. In the long run, we also want people all over the world to use our chatting software. The name must be something that humans all over the world can understand. "
Fang Tian smiled and said, "What do you guys think is a good name?"
Now, there was a famous international chat software called ICQ. This name was easy to remember. Of course, Soft cloud could not use this name. Otherwise, it would attract trouble.
Yang Fan said, "Let's call it Chat on the Phone."
Fang Tian shook his head and said, "The name RY is not interesting enough. It's not suitable for a leisure and entertainment product name. "
"Then what's a good name?" Yang Fan was puzzled.
Fang Tian put down his teacup heavily and said, "Soft cloud YY!"
"YY chat, YY chat … This name is very good!"
Yang Fan clapped and smiled. "This name is not only easy to remember, but it can also be extended to other entertainment products in the future."
Everyone clapped. The name was indeed very good!
The domain name Yy.com had been bought a long time ago. It seemed like the team leader had planned it long ago!
Fang Tian sat down and said, "The name is confirmed. The software will be created. It won't take too long, right?"
Speaking of this, Yang Fan felt very relaxed!
He looked at the computer screen. A chatting tool called "Soft cloud communication" was created by the team. It was just that it had been used internally.
Now, they only needed to modify it and redesign the interface. Then, it could be released!
"It can be done within a week!" Yang Fan said confidently.
For the rest of the time, Fang Tian was there, guiding the engineers to develop the YY chatting software.
Their skills were undoubtedly very good, but when it came to developing ideas, no one in the world could compare to Fang Tian, let alone them!
From the interface design to the product's functions, Fang Tian used his deep understanding of social software to explain to them.
Pet shows, friend groups, chat emoticons, and so on. These were all features that the chatting software of this era did not have.
Don't underestimate these little features. When put together, the entire chatting software experience was better than other similar products by a few streets!
Of course, it was impossible to create it all at once. After all, users had to accept it. Some of it would be left for future upgrades.
In the afternoon, Fang Tian, Du Fei, and Yang Fan sat in the lounge for lunch.
As they ate, Yang Fan suddenly thought of something. He looked at Fang Tian opposite him and said, "Oh right, Tian, I forgot to tell you. We don't have enough manpower now. Ah Fei and I can't take care of so many software maintenance. So, we recruited a bunch of new programmers. "
Soft cloud had many products under its banner. Angel Antivirus, Guardian Angel, Angel Cloud Browser, Soft cloud mailbox, RY compression software, IE browser toolbar plug-ins, Angel Desktop, and so on.
These software needed to be maintained and upgraded. Yang Fan and Du Fei could not take care of them even if they had three heads and six arms.
Fang Tian nodded and said, "It's true that we need to expand our team. What kind of talents do they have? "
Yang Fan nodded and said, "Don't worry. Ah Fei and I will personally interview them. They definitely meet your criteria for selecting talents. "
"Wrong. There's one criteria that they don't meet," Du Fei said.
Yang Fan was stunned and said, "What is it?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "Fang Tian wanted to recruit more beautiful programmers, but there wasn't a single one."
"Haha!" The few of them laughed at the same time.
Female programmers were rare. Beautiful programmers were even rarer!
Fang Tian thought of something and asked, "Oh right, where are they working? There's no office space here. "
"They rented one nearby."
"Okay! I'll go take a look later. "
After lunch, Fang Tian went to the new office nearby. It was located on the third floor of the Sky Building.
Walking into the office, Fang Tian looked around and saw very young faces in their twenties.
At this time, they were all sitting in front of computers working on programs.
When they saw the number one person in Soft cloud walking over, all the programmers stood up and greeted him.
Some called him boss, while others called him CEO. However, Fang Tian waved his hand and smiled. "Call me team leader. You can call me classmate too."
This boss did not put on any airs. The new brothers all clapped their hands together!
The team grew from nothing to 500 people. Fang Tian was filled with a sense of accomplishment!
