I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

Yu Zhongfeng nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Mr. Li, it doesn't take three or four months. Such a simple app can be made in a month with more than a dozen people."

The biggest difficulty in making a brand new mobile instant messaging software lies in conception and design.

But Li Zhe not only came up with the concept and design, but also had a hand-drawn draft of the app. Yu Zhongfeng and the others just had to follow it. It can be said that there was no difficulty.

Li Zhe's Fun Chat version 1.0 is basically a copy... No, it's "borrowed" from WeChat, including voice chat, location, nearby friends, Moments, etc.

In fact, what Li Zhe didn't know was that WeChat also "borrowed" from MiLiao. Voice information, positioning, nearby friends, walkie-talkie, Mi Bar, and micro broadcast (moments) were all invented by Xiaomi first.

It is precisely because MiLiao has a simple design and new functional gameplay that allows mobile phone users to experience a freshness that QQ does not have, Penguin was forced to redevelop "WeChat".

Li Zhe shook his head lightly, "I said there is no need to rush, and there is no need to have so many manpower. Just deploy five or six people and develop it slowly, but the selected personnel must be reliable."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Jia and Anya, "Manager Zhao, Manager An, you and Manager Yu are responsible for selecting developers."

Yu Zhongfeng, Zhao Jia, and Anya looked at each other and nodded to express their understanding.

Li Zhe looked at them and continued: "The development team members must sign a confidentiality contract, and their salary will be increased by 50% during the development period. They will be given priority in promotion and housing allocation, and the down payment will be reduced to 5%."

It is unlikely that an employee will leak the secret, and ordinary employees may not realize the value of interesting chat.

But there are some things that we must guard against, and you won’t make a big mistake if you are careful.

Many big things often fail in the hands of little people.

Anya said: "Actually, the development team can be placed in the suburbs and reduce their external contacts."

Li Zhe thought for a while and said, "Rent a villa in the suburbs as a research and development location. In addition, we will provide more entertainment facilities for the developers, but just limit external contacts."

Qudong Group is a formal company, and it is not a pyramid scheme. It is impossible to completely restrict the personal freedom of employees, and it cannot maintain complete confidentiality. If the management is too strict, it may be counterproductive.

Anya listened and nodded.

Li Zhe paused and then said: "Manager An, Director Liu (Liu Kaiyue), you two have a very heavy task. The promotion arrangements for Quchao will start from now on."

In the previous life, just two months after the launch of MiLiao, Penguin launched WeChat. Once the killer feature of directly linking QQ accounts came out, the early advantages of MiLiao were suddenly gone.

Rebus said that if the penguin invades in one year, Mi Liao has a 50% chance of winning; if the penguin invades in three months, Mi Liao will die 100% of the time.

Therefore, Mi Liao's failure is inevitable, and Penguin's senior management are not stupid, so how could they leave their opponents a year.

Li Zhe knew very well that even if he could seize the opportunity, Penguin would only have more than three months at most, or even less, for Qudong Group, so Qudong Group must seize more than 50% of the shares within two or three months. market.

Only in this way can Fun Chat have a 50% chance of winning.

In 2010, there were more than 800 million domestic mobile phone users, of which smartphone users accounted for 12%, and the number is still increasing. It is expected to increase to close to 20% in 2011.

In other words, it is extremely difficult for Qudong Group to capture 60 to 70 million smartphone users within two to three months.

The only way is to learn how to fight, throw money, and engage in bombing propaganda.

TV, the Internet, and offline all work together, making people all over the country aware of the existence of Quchao in a short period of time.

And this requires massive financial support.

If you don't have strong financial support and rely on your creativity and first-mover advantage to compete with Penguin, you will be like Mi Liao, being pinned to the ground and rubbed by Goose.

Li Zhe planned to spend 2 to 3 billion in the first three months, with an average promotion cost of 40 to 50 yuan per user.

The meeting lasted from 9 a.m. to around 1 p.m. Li Zhe, Zhao Jia, Yu Zhongfeng, Anya, and Liu Kaiyue discussed all aspects of the Fun Chat project in detail.

When the matter was almost finished, Li Zhe couldn't help but let out a breath, "Okay, let's stop here today. Thank you for your hard work, let's go eat."

Zhao Jia and Yu Zhongfeng relaxed after hearing this and stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Li Zhe suddenly called them again.

"Manager Zhao, we need to contact the central bank more in the future. It is likely that a payment license will be issued in the next two years."

Zhao Jia was stunned when he heard this, "Mr. Li, are you saying that the country will soon regulate third-party payment platforms?"

Li Zhe nodded, "Now there is no supervision at all in the domestic third-party payment market. The country cannot leave it alone. Before issuing a payment license, the central bank will definitely send an inspection team to conduct an inspection. If we can also be included in the inspection , it is possible to be among the first batch to obtain licenses.”

There are now hundreds of third-party payment platforms in China. A small third-party payment company can register with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for only 100,000 yuan, and then there are hundreds of millions or more than a billion running online.

Jack Ma's Alipay has a backlog of more than 10 billion funds, which makes him worried.

No one can tell what the nature of the funds is. If anyone sues him for illegal fund-raising, he may get involved.

At this time, he wished he could not give Alipay to the country for free.

Of course, when the central bank later gave him the first payment license, he was reluctant to give it away.

Therefore, it is imperative for the state to strengthen supervision, support the big and limit the small.

Qudong Group also launched a third-party payment platform last year called Qupay, but it was not large in scale.

However, if you want to get a payment license, you must expand your scale as soon as possible.

Zhao Jia, Yu Zhongfeng, and Anya all left. Li Zhe and Liu Kaiyue also left the conference room together, preparing to go out to eat something.

"Why do you always look at me?" Li Zhe couldn't help but ask with a smile when he noticed that Liu Kaiyue always looked at him.

Liu Kaiyue smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing."

What an amazing man she is!

If the Quchao project really succeeds, Qudong Group will become an emerging Internet giant, and Li Zhe will become one of the top entrepreneurs in the country, and it is even possible to become the richest man.

What Liu Kaiyue was most pleased about was that Li Zhe only told her about such an important matter as the Quchao project, and Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, and Shen Xinyi did not know.

In the next few days, Li Zhe held several more meetings with Zhao Jia, Yu Zhongfeng and others to discuss the Fun Chat project.

Anya rented a three-story villa in Songjiang as the residence of the Quliao development team. Yu Zhongfeng and Zhao Jia also selected six credible developers.

On April 9, Li Zhe and Zhao Jia came to Songjiang together and met with the development team members.

The Fun Chat project was quietly launched.

In mid-April, Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi finally opened their Yuyanfang beauty salon.

On the first day of opening, the store was packed with customers, and many artists and anchors from Qudong Group came over to support the show.

Zhao Yuhuan, Nini, Zhang Wanning, Zhao Mingyao, Yu Xiangzi, Zhao Jingya, Cao Qian and so on.

Beautiful women gathered together, and the scene was very spectacular.

Li Zhe said before that he would be Xiao Qiao and the others' first customer, but he didn't show up on the opening day.

After all, this is a women's beauty salon, so it's better for him, the big boss, to hide behind the scenes.

Not only does he not show his face, even if he goes to Yuyanfang for beauty treatments in the future, Li Zhe will always enter through the small door.

As for why he, a man, wants to have a beauty treatment?

Men also need maintenance!

After the hot period of opening discounts, Yuyanfang's business slowed down.

Almost all of the company's artists and anchors have been here, so there are naturally fewer customers.

However, business is pretty good and is getting better and better.

With so many artists and big anchors promoting it, Yuyanfang’s name gradually became popular in Shanghai.

Many people know that a high-end beauty club has been opened on Huaihai Road. Many celebrities and entertainers often visit it. The environment and services are first-class.

Maybe it won't be long before Yuyanfang's business will boom.

The most indispensable thing in Shanghai is rich people and rich women, but a large high-end club with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters like Yuyanfang is rare in this era.

Soon, the time came to the end of April, and the May Day holiday was approaching.

Hongcheng Normal University.

Beside the flower bed below the teaching building, three or four girls, Chen Xian and Fang Wenwen, were filming a short video together.

Chen Xian was dancing by the flower bed, Fang Wenwen was in charge of filming, and the other two girls were in charge of lighting. Some students stopped and watched.

Under the influence of role models such as Sun Wanning, Chen Xian, and Fang Wenwen, more and more students, especially girls, in the Normal College and the nearby Aviation Academy began to make short videos.

In this day and age, an average graduate with a second degree or a college degree only earns two to three thousand yuan a month, or even less.

But Chen Xiancai has not graduated from her sophomore year. She is already making a million dollars a year by making short videos. All her clothes and bags are brand-name and she travels with a BMW 3 Series.

She even hired two girls to help her shoot short videos.

The other students in the school saw this, and it would be strange not to be envious, jealous, and jealous.

Now I don’t know how many people are plotting against Chen Xian behind her back, saying that she is in all sorts of undesirable ways.

But on the surface, there are even more people who please and flatter her.

"Xiao Xian!" Seeing that the filming was paused, Zhang You, who was also watching, stepped forward and greeted Chen Xian with a smile,

Zhang You wore a very sexy low-cut off-the-shoulder dress, with exquisite makeup, and she was dressed very beautifully. Many boys couldn't help but focus on her, and couldn't take their eyes away from her.

Not many girls in school dare to dress like this in this day and age.

"Senior!" Chen Xian also smiled and nodded to Zhang You.

These internet celebrity anchors have a lot of contact with each other and are all familiar with each other.

"Xiaoxian, what are you going to do this May Day?"

"I picked up two commercial performances and am going to Shanghai."

After hearing this, Zhang You couldn't help but show envy on his face.

The main source of income for a small anchor like her is live broadcast rewards, and the video advertising share has been falling again and again, and there is not much money left.

But big internet celebrities like Chen Xian and others are different. Their main income comes from advertising and commercial performances.

An advertisement can cost as little as 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and as much as more than 10,000 or 200,000 yuan.

The income from live streaming rewards is only a small amount for them, so they don’t have to worry too much about their elder brother’s face.

Unlike the later generations where Internet celebrities were rampant and involution was serious, there are now very few big Internet celebrities. Therefore, Chen Xian and others have no pressure to compete and have many opportunities.

Not only can I shoot commercials and take on commercial roles, but I can also act and appear on TV shows, and my life is more prosperous than that of ordinary celebrities.

"Xiao Xian, I'm going to Shanghai on May Day too, how about we go together?"

Zhang You suddenly felt something in his heart when he looked at Chen Xian, and then said, "I can take you to see Mr. Li."

She has been making short videos for a year, but she is still a small anchor with only more than 200,000 fans.

Zhang You finally understood that without the support of the platform, he would never be popular.

How is she worse than that Xu Yanni? The other party is so popular and has the title of Qudong's first sexy beauty, and she just relies on the platform to praise her.

Maybe this...bastard climbed into Li Zhe's bed. How else could he get such good resources?

If there was a chance to stick with Li Zhe, Zhang You would have done it long ago.

But she knew very well that Li Zhe didn't like her at all.

That guy is very picky and only likes inexperienced people.

Zhang You actually felt extremely regretful. If she had known she would meet Li Zhe, how could she have done it for some clothes and money when she was in high school...

Thinking like this, Zhang You looked Chen Xian up and down carefully, focusing his eyes on those... long legs.

She has no chance to fall in Li Zhe's eyes, but this Chen Xian does!

Doesn't she like Li Zhe? Then help her yourself.

This was a bit sorry for Xiao Qiao, but there was nothing she could do!

Xiao Qiao should understand her, right?

…

After making an appointment with Chen Xian to go to Shanghai together on May Day, Zhang You came to the parking lot at the north gate of the school.

Three or four girls were bored, squatting or standing in front of a white BMW. When they saw Zhang You coming, their faces suddenly showed joy.

These girls were all freshmen. They were tricked by Zhang You under the guise of making a lot of money by making short videos and became her free labor force.

She is not as rich and generous as Chen Xian, and she is willing to spend money to hire people to help shoot short videos.

Zhang You smiled apologetically at them, "I have something to do at the moment. I kept you waiting for a long time. Get in the car."

With that said, she took out her car key and pressed it.

The lights of the white BMW 120i flashed twice.

Since making short videos, Zhang You has earned a lot of money, from a few thousand yuan to over 10,000 yuan a month, and even 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month.

But she earns more and spends more.

I bought all kinds of brand-name clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics. I spent as much as I wanted. I also took out a loan to buy a second-hand BMW One Series.

Without the generosity of two or three older brothers, she would not even be able to pay off her car loan and credit card.

The BMW 120i slowly drove out of the school gate, and Zhang You showed off without leaving a trace while driving towards the city.

She said how good her relationship with Li Zhe was. During their freshman year, they often had meals together.

On her birthday, Li Zhe specially prepared a gift for her.

If she hadn't cared about her sister (Xiao Qiao), she would have been with Li Zhe long ago, and it wouldn't be Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue and the others' turn.

Several girls were shocked when they heard this, and asked about Li Zhe from time to time.

When they entered school, Li Zhe stopped coming to school a long time ago. He was very curious about the school's legends and the rich people on the rich list.

Enjoying the adoring and envious looks of several school girls, Zhang You couldn't help but feel proud, but when she thought about the car loan and credit card payments she had to repay next month, she suddenly lost the mood to show off.

Those fools (eldest brothers) are getting harder and harder to fool!

Zhang You only hopes to become a big internet celebrity, so that he won't have to worry about a little money all day long like he does now, and will have more opportunities to find a truly rich man.

She is not greedy either. She doesn't need to be as rich as Li Zhe. She would be satisfied if she is worth hundreds of millions.

More than half an hour later, the BMW 120i stopped in front of a cinema.

Zhang You and a few girls came to watch a movie. Wang Zhining's "20 Again" was released.
