Chapter 252 Copycat qq...

The mercenaries are in trouble. There are spies from the Soviet Union among them, and they were also attacked by an inexplicable ambush a few days ago. Now these mercenaries have gathered together to prevent things from happening again, and at the same time, they are waiting for their superiors.

orders issued.

Arms dealers are thinking whether to keep mercenaries in Africa or to withdraw.

But soon, these big capitalists made a decision: to stay in Africa.

The reason that made them make this decision was those diamonds, gold and oil.

The situation in other places is tense, but in Tanzania, the situation seems somewhat calm.

This is a relatively peaceful place in Africa, and Tanzania is very close to the Chinese government - next year, the Tanzania-Zambia Railway will begin surveying - and there are even military advisers from China in the Tanzanian army.

The mercenaries staying here are all under the umbrella, and they are all nominally hired by Lawrence.

As for Lawrence...he was laughing so hard at this moment.

Tanzanite is indeed a beautiful gem. Now he has bought a large piece of land under Mount Kilimanjaro, and now they have discovered considerable mineral deposits.

Although the scale of the protective umbrella is somewhat small, its roots are in Southeast Asia, and the company does not have excess power, so it cannot make big money on the battlefield like the mercenary armies of these arms dealers.

…

On the other hand, Catherine is thinking about how to use the Internet to replace traditional media and communication tools.

The Internet is omnipotent, even though it is still not built yet.

However, it will take some time for the Internet to replace current telephone and television products.

"Elsa, what do you think our current computers are missing?"

Catherine asked Elsa.

"Well... if the sexual performance is not enough, you will be very distressed, right? I think many of the ideas you proposed before, Kate, cannot be realized by current computers."

Indeed, Catherine has thought about MP3 and digital video, but unfortunately, these are unrealistic things - it is really painful to play a video or music on a computer that does not even have a sound card.

And even if there is a sound card, Catherine's computer still needs a decoding chip, and to make such a decoding chip, it must be researched from scratch...

Anyway, it all becomes very troublesome.

"Other than that?"

"I think the communication technology of the Beep boy in "Wasteland" is very good, what...e-mail."

Doing email now?

Just kidding, it might be OK in 5 to 10 years, but as of now, this is just a pain in the ass.

For now, there is almost no market for email.

As for communications?

This is simple. cdma is my main product, and I will launch mobile phones in the future.

But soon, Catherine thought of another famous software-qq.

instant message applications

This... seems okay?

But Catherine felt it was impossible. After all, even instant messaging software such as QQ may not be suitable for today.

Suddenly, Catherine fell into entanglement again.

Many of her ideas were impossible before the Internet became popular. Although the east-west network lines are almost completed, Catherine is not too happy about it. Even though her network lines connect the entire United States,

This is only an intercity line. Although it has the entire federal government as its customers, among the intracity lines, only New York and California are the most developed.

New York's optical cable lines have spread throughout Wall Street. This kind of confidential equipment is a perfect thing for Wall Street, so the optical fiber network was first completed there.

And because it is also the headquarters of Walmart, the federal government also needs a line from New York to Washington. For these reasons, fiber optic networks are the most popular here.

Then, there is the University of California network.

Ralph is currently seeking orders from Ivy League schools. If he can convince the Ivy League schools to join, it will play a very important role in the construction of the university network; and the completion of the entire university network will accelerate the city's

The popularity of the Internet is a multi-purpose thing.

"Our current customers are mainly commercial customers, right? Our products should be for them, so I think we should start from this aspect, right?"

Elsa expressed her opinion to Catherine.

Catherine calmed down. Most of the people who need to use the Internet at this time are business users. This matter will not change in at least the next three years, unless it waits until its own cloud system becomes popular.

So, what do business users need most?

"...Secret?"

Catherine immediately thought of this word.

yes confidential

For people nowadays, neither phone calls nor letters are safe. The former may be eavesdropped, and the latter is even more unsafe.

Isn't it just because of "security" and "confidentiality" that Wall Street welcomes its own products?

That's right, that's it

"I suddenly had a good idea~"

Catherine was very happy.

"?"

Elsa was sorting things on the table at this time.

"Hmm...such as a confidential messaging software?"

Catherine suddenly thought of Tencent's TM. This software is similar to QQ, but it is aimed at business users and has many more functions. At the same time, some functions have been simplified.

This thing seems appropriate?

But the selling point is wrong.

Confidentiality, confidentiality, naturally keeping secrets is the first priority.

Catherine picked up the pen and started designing.

First of all, this software must have good enough confidentiality. Although there are no hackers yet, protection in this area is still necessary.

Then, make sure that the contents of this software cannot be seen by others - this is easy to do, just use a password.

Next, the transmitted data must be stable and there must be no message loss or other situations...

It is not difficult to write an instant messaging software. Catherine once cracked the QQ software for fun in her previous life, and she has a good understanding of the architecture inside.

Moreover, such a software itself does not require high technical skills, so it can be done easily.

In any case, Catherine is going to write the software first and then talk about it. Write the software first, and then strengthen its confidentiality based on the software.

So, Catherine is ready to copy Tencent’s QQ product...

"No, it should be original~"

Catherine murmured.

Then, she started writing software.

This software was written by Catherine based on the QQ architecture. Of course, Catherine took confidentiality even more into consideration.

And because the Internet itself was developed by herself, Catherine simply made a decision to create a port specifically for this communication software.

Although there is some suspicion of monopoly, but... isn't monopoly just to make money?

The reason why many companies encounter antitrust is because they are too arrogant.

Although Catherine has divided her network company into three companies: American Mobile, American Unicom and American Telecom, Catherine still has a cautious eye on this aspect. If it is split up by then, it will be troublesome.

——Although this may take another twenty or thirty years.

Catherine spent the next few days writing this software.

After preliminarily writing some kernels, Catherine threw the software to the next level for completion.

The independent innovation ability of enterprises has always been what Catherine hopes to see. If she is too diligent, she will only make the people below have nothing to do. Therefore, many things Catherine does are just the beginning, and the saved work is handed over to the subordinates. Some

Sometimes, even Catherine just throws out a concept and then leaves it to the people below to complete it.

Sometimes, you have to learn to be a lazy person - well, in fact, the people in the entire Ark Group are the type who are so busy every day - it is very important to cultivate talents.

Just as this planning plan was handed over, Catherine suddenly had an idea. This instant messaging tool can be made into an upgraded version of the current chat room.

After all, business users are only a minority, but if college students are also added, it will be different.

And at this time, Catherine also thought of Gregory.

Maybe... I can add Gregory's online game as well?

This idea seems good.

Catherine plans to separate the two softwares, just like qq and tm are the same.
