Although Xie Zhang's academic qualifications were not very high, he had been at Huanyu Technologies for so many years and had been following Chen Yu. Unknowingly, he had become a big shot in the internet industry. Moreover, 5173, which he had been in charge of for the past few years, had been doing well in terms of profits and other aspects. Although Chen Yu's suggestion seemed a little unbelievable, Xie Zhang made a decision after careful consideration.
He was ready to change the positioning of the search engine.
From the original office business to strangers making friends.
Moreover, this method of making friends was not just the traditional method of making friends with strangers. This method of making friends was more like an adult's method of making friends with strangers.
Therefore, this kind of instant messaging became interesting.
Moreover, in order to make this search even more interesting, Xie Zhang also added a very creative function to the search engine.
This function was called Burn After Reading.
In other words, the user could send a photo to your friend. When your friend finished looking at the photo, within three seconds, it would automatically burn until it disappeared. As for what kind of photo the user would send with this function, Xie Zhang did not care. He only cared about this function.
Of course, this function alone was not enough.
In order to completely create an instant messaging system for strangers making friends, he had to work on other aspects.
For example, the method of adding friends.
It was different from WeChat, which was based on the mobile phone's contact list.
Momo made it for strangers making friends, so it did not completely need your mobile phone's contact list.
So, how could he add friends at this time?
Compared to WeChat's shake to find people nearby, Xie Zhang developed a new function, Floating Bottle.
Although it was called a new function, this function was actually used on YY.
However, this function was later broken by many users, so Huanyu Technologies turned this function off.
But now, Xie Zhang felt that this function could be used for search engine.
Everyone could throw Floating Bottle, and everyone could also throw Floating Bottle. Through Floating Bottle, two people could have simple interactions. If both people felt that this interaction was good, then they could add each other as friends.
Soon, under Xie Zhang's arrangement, the search engine was upgraded.
It could be said that.
After the upgrade, the search engine was completely new.
The originally lifeless atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Damn, the search engine has introduced a Burn After Reading function. How do you play with this function?"
"Just send a photo, and then he will automatically burn and disappear."
"Oh, it looks fun. I'll post a few photos for everyone to take a look."
Some netizens gave it a try and sent their photos out.
Sure enough, just as the words "burn after reading" said, the photo burned and disappeared after a few seconds.
"It's fun, it's fun. I'll post another one."
"Brother, do you really think this function should be played like this?"
"Isn't that what you told me?"
"Uh, what I mean is that this function is only interesting when used on a specific target."
"A specific target? I don't understand. Can you explain?"
"Well, for example, you can find a girl and talk about life."
"What? I don't understand."
"Alright, you're hopeless."
Of course.
There were very few such weirdos in the spy agency.
Such a function didn't need much introduction. Once people discovered it, they would be able to figure out how to use it.
For example, when he was talking about life with a girl to the point of excitement, he would try asking her to take a few sexy photos.
Or, if he was good at it, he could take more photos that would drive him crazy.
If it was during normal times, some girls would naturally have concerns.
However …
With the "burn after reading" function, the girls could do a series of bold actions.
As for how to do it …
This kind of thing could only be understood, but not explained in words.
Of course.
There was also the floating bottle function.
Many people might have played with this function before.
But it didn't matter.
Previously, the floating bottle on the PC was not as exciting as the floating bottle on the smartphone.
Especially in the dead of the night, if you fished up a floating bottle, you would soon find your confidante.
However …
In order to control the number of floating bottles, and also to whet the appetite of the users.
The floating bottle in the spy agency could only be fished up to ten times and sent out to ten times.
If you wanted more, sorry, there was no more.
Alright.
It wasn't that there was no more. You had to pay more.
Hence, a new profit point appeared.
Did you think that others wouldn't pay?
Sorry.
Many netizens might be stingy in other places, but in this kind of thing, many users were very generous.
"F * ck, this spy agency is too fun."
"I can't sleep at night. Let's take a look."
"I like to play spy agency when I'm under the covers."
"Me too."
The smartphone was a good thing.
Not only did it keep everyone away from the Internet cafes, but it also kept them away from the portable computers. At the same time, it also ensured the privacy of the users.
Although they couldn't use it as a social tool in their daily lives, it could be used as an entertainment and chat tool.
After many people accidentally found out about the mysterious function of the spy agency, they entered the app store and downloaded it.
…
"Joseph, I want an explanation."
"Mr. Steve, I …"
Microsoft President's Office. Joseph was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.
He knew that the recent explosion of WeChat was a serious dereliction of his duty.
"Do you not want to talk? If so, I'll have to consider changing the person in charge."
Steve knocked on the table.
The negotiations with Google had been in trouble recently.
At the same time, their Windows Mobile operating system wasn't performing well.
Although Nokia chose to cooperate with Microsoft, many users felt that Windows Mobile was far inferior to the Kirin operating system, let alone the Pear operating system. However, Steve couldn't do anything about it. The entire ecosystem couldn't be built in a short period of time. Although Microsoft had Windows, the software on the PC couldn't be directly transferred to the phone.
Even if it could be transferred, it wouldn't be useful.
Most of the applications on the PC couldn't be used on the phone.
"Mr. Steve, I think there's a problem with our philosophy."
Since it was related to his position, Joseph finally said, "Previously, we had been using the PC internet concept. Even when it came to smartphones, we still used the same concept to operate MSN. But when WeChat came out, they took away most of our users. "
"Okay, so what do you plan to do?"
Steve nodded and thought to himself, 'This Joseph is quite capable.' The recent decline in MSN's market could not be entirely blamed on them. Even he himself was trapped by this philosophy.
"Mr. Steve, we're going to launch an instant messaging software based entirely on the smartphone."
"Oh, starting from scratch?"
"Yes."
"How confident are you?"
"I don't know, but I think this is an opportunity. And we should give it a try. "
"Okay, I'll give you a chance."
"Thank you, Mr. Steve."
Joseph breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that Steve wasn't completely satisfied with his proposal, at least he gave him a chance.
As long as there was a chance, he could recover his lost ground.
What WeChat could do, he could do it too.
However …
Just as Steve returned to the MSN headquarters to prepare for a company meeting to discuss the development of a new instant messaging software, he received an email from the industry.
The email showed that Huanyu Technologies' second instant messaging software had more than 10 million registered users.
