"Dear students, I believe everyone knows that the Computer Science Department of Wuhan University is different from other universities. When we graduate, apart from submitting our personal theses, we also have to submit a team project. "This project can be software or a website … In short, everyone can assign tasks according to what you've learned and work together to complete this project. I've already informed everyone. I wonder how everyone's preparations have been? "
Professor Huang Hai of Class 3 of 1998 from the Computer Science Department of Wuhan University was prepared to test the students' abilities.
Of course, testing them did not mean that they had to complete the project immediately, but they had to at least think of an idea.
"Professor Huang, the six of us are preparing to develop an instant messenger."
A student named "Lin Qifeng" stood up and said to Professor Huang.
"Oh, instant messenger is a more promising software. How are your preparations going?"
Professor Huang was more interested when he heard this.
Currently, the most popular software on the Internet was the instant messenger QQ.
It could be said that ever since QQ came into existence, he had changed many people's communication methods.
Professor Huang was using QQ.
"Professor Huang, we've divided our work. I'm in charge of the interface design, Li Nan is in charge of the backend …"
"What about the functions?"
"The functions are basically the same as the mainstream instant messengers. However, we've also created a more interesting function."
"What function?"
"Network storage."
"That's quite interesting."
Professor Huang Hai nodded and gave this student named "Lin Qifeng" a compliment.
Actually, the instant messenger software was not difficult to create. His program was not complicated either. Students from the Computer Science Department of normal universities might not be able to create such a software, but for students from the Big Ten, it was not too difficult.
However, the program was not complicated. The complicated part was how to market it.
Huang Hai wanted to hear if Lin Qifeng still had any plans to market his instant messaging software. "Lin Qifeng, do you have any plans to market your instant messaging software?"
"We're already working on that plan."
At this point, Lin Qifeng was a little excited. He said, "We've already contacted Shin-Lang. Shin-Lang expressed interest. "They've also invested 100,000 RMB in us. This 100,000 RMB doesn't take up our shares. "If we're successful, Shin-Lang will have priority to purchase it."
"Good, very good."
Huang Hai was greatly gratified. "Not bad, Lin Qifeng. I hope you can keep it up."
To be able to gain the attention of the portal giant Shin-Lang Network before they even graduated from university … Although a mere 100,000 yuan investment was not much, and Shin-Lang might not even care, it at least showed that this group of students had taken a very successful step forward. Even "Lei Jun", who had graduated from a martial arts university, could not compare to them.
"Students, please continue. I won't call out names. You can speak one by one."
After Lin Qifeng, many students stood up one after another and reported to Professor Huang about the works they had been preparing.
Unfortunately, perhaps because Lin Qifeng's instant messaging was too outstanding, the remaining students' works were far inferior to Lin Qifeng's. Huang Hai only symbolically encouraged them and gave some comments.
"By the way, Wang Chang, aren't you always the most enthusiastic one? Why aren't you talking today? It's just you guys."
Although Huang Hai was a professor, he was very easy-going in class.
Wang Chang was the class commissary in charge of studies, and she had outstanding ability. She had interned at a large company before.
It could be said that Huang Hai thought highly of Wang Chang.
"Professor Huang, I just wanted to listen to the students' works just now."
"Looks like you're purposely making it the finale. Wang Chang, what's the work you've prepared this time? Can you share it with us?"
"Our work is a virtual item trading website."
"Virtual item, this term is a little new. Tell us more about it."
"It's a gaming website. On this website, we provide game equipment, gold coins, skill books … and other virtual items for trading. Of course, we're not just making a gaming trading platform. Through this platform, we can develop in other areas in the future."
Of course, 5173 was not just a virtual item trading platform.
Chen Yu's position was to create a gaming portal.
However, before creating a gaming portal, Chen Yu needed virtual item trading to attract popularity.
Once he attracted popularity, he would begin to develop into a gaming portal.
Therefore, Chen Yu had stricter requirements for Wang Chang and the others when designing 5173.
At least in the design of the entire website's framework, he had to leave room for expansion in the future.
He could not wait until he was about to create a portal in the future and start all over again.
Fortunately, Wang Chang and the others' skills were not bad. This was not difficult for them.
However, before Wang Chang could finish speaking, Lin Qifeng laughed and said, "Wang Chang, I thought you had prepared some big killer weapon. I didn't expect you to just make a gaming website."
"Why, Lin Qifeng, do you have any objections?"
"No objections. I just think that you're too petty to make such a website. If you don't have a good project, you might as well join our team. "
"No need. I think our gaming website is pretty good."
"Hehe, Wang Chang, I think you're going in the wrong direction. Gaming websites don't have much future. Instant messaging, office software, anti-virus software are promising … these. "
"I don't think so. Instant messaging software, office software, and anti-virus software are good, but I have to say that our gaming website is not bad. What's more, your instant messaging software is just a copy of QQ. "
"How can we copy QQ without technology? Sorry, our instant messaging software has a few more important functions that I didn't mention. I believe that with these functions in the market and Shin-Lang's investment, even if we don't beat QQ, we can at least take half of their market share. On the other hand, your gaming website, it's not that I'm looking down on gaming websites, but none of the gaming websites in the market are well-known. Also, not to mention gaming websites, even games don't make money. If games don't make money, how can your gaming website make money? "
Online games were just born in 2001. For the time being, not many people could see how profitable games were.
Although there were games like "Millennium", "King of Kings", and "The Stone Age", they did not become popular.
However, these games were not very popular. Some of them closed down after running for a period of time.
Even if Legend became popular in the future, that was only the future.
For now, Legend was only in beta. The profits had not been announced to the public and the outside world had no way of knowing.
However, when Wang Chang was investigating internet cafes, she saw how profitable online games could be.
In addition, she had been chatting with Chen Yu on QQ recently. From time to time, Chen Yu would give her pointers. She was even more optimistic about online games.
"Online games will be the most profitable internet product in the next few years. They'll beat all of them …"
This was what Chen Yu had said to Wang Chang before.
"I can only say that your vision is too outdated. The internet is developing so fast that we can't keep up. You can't even imagine how profitable online games can be. "
"Okay, let's make a bet."
"Bet on what?"
"In three months, we'll see whose work is better."
"Okay."
"Don't agree so early. What if you lose?"
"Tell me."
"If you lose, you'll be my girlfriend."
When Lin Qifeng said this, countless people in the class started to shout.
"Okay."
