This piece of news from Ma Teng made the already lively QQ group even more lively.

Lu Yiming also felt a little surprised.

He knows about MSN, but what the hell is this MSN going to do with the group function?

MSN is backed by Microsoft and is an imported product from the West. Therefore, in high-end business circles, many "respectable people" do not think highly of QQ, thinking that QQ is only for children.

However, in the original world, it should have entered the Xia Kingdom market in 2005, but now it is several years ahead of schedule.

Ding Sanshi, who had just been speechless by Lu Yiming, saw Ma Teng sending this news and immediately gloated: "MSN, backed by Microsoft as a big backer, Mr. Lu, can you withstand it? There is a saying

Oh, Mr. Ma, I wonder if this is Microsoft retaliating against Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu poached their president, while Microsoft added a group chat on MSN. The game is very fierce."

However, Lu Yiming, who has been dealing with Microsoft for more than 20 years, knows very clearly that these people are good at playing monopoly, but they are not good at playing social. These beautiful Chinese companies will not treat ordinary people as human beings, let alone

Treat the people of Xia as human beings.

If nothing else, let’s talk about MSN. It has been tepid since it entered the Xiaguo market. It has built-in functions such as video communication and group chat, but it has never been promoted. In the final analysis, this is a common problem of these Western companies - they

Rather than serving users, they want to train users. Users must learn and use whatever they make.

But in Xia Guo, these products understand one truth - the customer is God. The products we make do everything possible to take care of the customer's habits, and do whatever it takes to make the user more comfortable.

One treats the user as a boss, and the other treats the user as the boss. Who can have the last laugh? Needless to say?

Therefore, Lu Yiming is not panic at all now. Apart from the initial surprise, he does not regard MSN as a rival at all.

"Although Bill Gates is my friend, I still have to say that he doesn't know how to socialize at all - not just him, but every one of these people in the entire Western world can't socialize. So, MSN needs to

Entering the Xiaguo market and confronting me head-on, the only thing I can do is try to prevent him from losing too badly. After all, as everyone knows, I am a kind-hearted person."

At this time, QQ, polished by Lu Yiming, was already very powerful and had absolute dominance before the mobile Internet era.

In the previous life, QQ group was not officially launched until 2005. Before that, QQ's functions were still very simple.

But now in 2001, Lu Yiming has already launched the QQ group function, and MSN can only follow suit and copy the lessons from behind. It can be said that the concepts of the two parties are different by an entire era.

Is social software useless if it only has cool features?

The user base is the most important thing!

In the era before Lu Yiming was reborn, Brother Ma himself said that the secret of Goose Factory's success was "I have 500 million users."

If you release a new game and pop up a pop-up window, that's 500 million exposure. Even if only one thousandth of the people are interested, that's 500,000 potential customers.

How do you compare with competitors?

In front of 500 million users, it's nothing cool.

Faced with Lu Yiming's "kind" speech, the group booed.

"I have to say that Mr. Lu is pretending this time."

"Mr. Lu, when will I be as awesome as you?"

"I just admire Mr. Lu's ability to talk nonsense."

Everyone joked, and Chen Tianjiao of St. Petersburg University Network said: "I have to say that the QQ group function is really awesome. After all, people are social creatures, and QQ is a social software, so "groups" are naturally indispensable. The key is

, this function is really convenient. I have a group of friends who play games, and a group of family members.

Colleagues are in a group, friends are in a group... they are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. Inside the QQ group, everyone is lively and lively. I can't think of a more perfect social platform than this. When I was playing "Legend of Hot Blood"

, just give a shout in the group, and you can immediately form a group to play a dungeon, which is more convenient than communicating in the game."

Jack Ma also immediately said: "Indeed, the idea of ​​launching a multi-person chat and communication service is simply brilliant. After the group owner creates the group, he can invite friends or people with common interests to chat in a group. This is comparable to one-on-one chat."

Chatting is much more exciting and meets the needs of the broad masses of people who can chat anytime and anywhere regardless of spatial distance."

In "Legend of Hot Blood", many guild players in the game spontaneously formed QQ groups, which greatly increased the stickiness and activity of the game, making the various statistics of "Legend of Hot Blood" dwarf those of its peers.

In addition to game chat, it can also meet office needs. For example, enterprises or institutions can create a group together and set up administrators. This can even enable remote office meetings, greatly increasing efficiency.

Lu Yiming took the opportunity to spoil the story: "Regarding QQ groups, Yixun Technology will soon launch new features, such as providing group space services. In group spaces, users can communicate in various ways such as group BBS, photo albums, and shared files.

It satisfies everyone’s demands for pretentiousness. I estimate that the specific online push will be completed in a month or two.”

Then, he sent a middle-finger emoji and said: "Slowly step by step, how can his MSN compare with me?"

Chen Tianjiao said: "Then if I post the PK highlights in the game to the group, wouldn't it better satisfy my need to show off? [Smiley face/satisfied]"

Ma Teng also waved the flag and said: "With so many new functions, QQ can definitely beat MSN to nowhere."

Regarding MSN, Lu Yiming despises it strategically, but attaches great importance to it tactically. He said: "QQ's winning rate is indeed very high, but I think it is not high enough. Then he said that what he wants is not to increase the chance of winning, but to absolutely win!"

After chatting with people in the group for a while, Lu Yiming remembered something very important and immediately contacted Jiang Rongfa.

"Lao Jiang, I plan to make a web game."

"Web game?"

This was the first time Jiang Rongfa heard this concept, and his mind was a little fuzzy for a while.

"What is that?"

Although he makes games, Jiang Rongfa really doesn't know what web games are. Not only does he not know, there are only a handful of people in the world who know about web games.

In the second half of 2001, EBS that had been simply Chineseized gradually appeared on some small and medium-sized websites in China. This was the first generation of web games.

At this time, its name was not yet called “web game”.

There are three significant advantages of web games: First, it is very easy to get started. Anyone who has had a little exposure to games can easily master the game. Second, many of the materials used by EBS are derived from the famous "Gundam" of the island country. series, this has invisibly greatly won over the hearts of anime fans who love the "Gundam" series. Third, because the program is relatively simple, and Perl technology is familiar to many network programmers, new functions are constantly being expanded into EBS. .

After Lu Yiming's explanation, Jiang Rongfa gradually understood what a web game is. Although this gameplay was very novel, Jiang Rongfa still felt a little confused and asked: "Mr. Lu, after this web game is developed, what are the usage scenarios? ?Let the user open the computer and enter the URL to play? What is the difference between opening the client and playing? And web games are limited by the operation mode, and it is impossible to achieve as rich content as online games anyway."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "No, you're wrong, I just want to make a simple one, so simple that a three-year-old child can understand it at a glance. The game only has one interface, and there is no need to change the scene. The format of a web game is the most suitable."

"Is there a game with only one interface? What kind of game is it?"

"QQ Farm."

Lu Yiming passed a document to Jiang Rongfa and said, "This is the game framework I just wrote. Take a look."

This game is so simple that the entire content of the game can be written on just one piece of A4 paper.

The game is based on a farm. Players play the role of a farm operator and complete the entire process from purchasing seeds to cultivating, watering, fertilizing, weeding, harvesting fruits and then selling to the market.

QQ Farm is located in a vast and boundless plain, surrounded by forests. Players have their own farm cabins, planting land, transportation vehicles and shops. The land types on the map include ordinary yellow land, black land, red land, and golden land. With the With the increase of level and money, players can cultivate higher-level land with greater profits.

Players can go to the store to buy seeds, and then plant them in the cultivated land, and the crops will grow automatically. They need to weed, water, and kill insects in time, otherwise the health value of the crops will decrease and the yield of the crops will be affected. They can also help their friends to weed. In addition to gaining experience by watering and killing insects, you can also get gold coin rewards. After the crops mature, they must be harvested in the warehouse in time to avoid being picked by other players; after harvesting the fruits, sell them in the warehouse to get gold coins. .

With such a simple game, how crazy were the people who played it back then?

In order to prevent others from stealing the ripe vegetables on their farm, some people set several alarm clocks at once and get up in the middle of the night to collect the vegetables and steal them.

Farming games have not been popular for a long time. After all, the game content itself is too simple, the gameplay is simple, and the user stickiness is not enough.

Jiang Rongfa looked confused after reading Lu Yiming's game content.

He finally developed a blockbuster game like "Legend of Blood", and now he wants to continue his efforts and develop new games that are more powerful and more fun.

What the hell is a web game?

Moreover, there are only two core gameplays in this game, one is to buy seeds to plant the land, and the other is to steal mature crops from friends. The gameplay is so monotonous that Jiang Rongfa is too lazy to complain.

It's just like Lu Yiming said, a three-year-old child can play it.

What made Jiang Rongfa feel bright was that Lu Yiming asked Junzi Interactive Entertainment to cooperate with Yixun Technology to embed this QQ farm into the QQ client! This allows users to log in to QQ directly without having to remember the game URL.

You can quickly open the game.

Turn a piece of chat software into a game login window?

This is absolutely killer!

In the evening, Lu Yiming returned to Lujia Garden and turned on the computer to play games. As soon as he logged in to QQ, QQ popped up like crazy. When he opened it, he found that it was a group message directly 99+.

"What are these people doing with nothing to do?"

Lu Yiming complained, opened the group chat, pulled up the history record above, and after reading it again, he realized that it was Ding Sanshi who started the topic.

Ding Sanshi: "Hey, did you read yesterday's news?"

Jack Ma: "What news?"

Ding Sanshi: "E-commerce, don't you all read the news?"

It turns out that not long ago, at the closing reception of the first Xiaguo Inventory Commodity Trade Fair, Tong Jiawei, the madman who was the president of Meishang.com at the time, called together the reporters present and claimed that he had found the feeling of doing e-commerce.

.

At this time, Meishang.com was not simple. It could easily place orders worth tens of millions of dollars. It even had a huge order from Stanley, the world's largest hardware purchaser, amounting to 800 million U.S. dollars.

Tong Jiawei even boasted that the turnover would catch up with Lenovo within three to five years. You know, at this time, Ahri was still struggling on the line of life and death.

Ding Sanshi posted the news in the chat window and sighed: "This money is really easy to make."

Lu Yiming responded directly: "If you want to die, you can go."
