Zhang Long was wearing a straight suit and stood up at this time, and came to Zhou Yan to stretch out his hand.

"This is Mr. Zhou Yanzhou, right? Hello, I am Zhang Long, the manager of Penguin Technical Department."

Zhang Long introduced himself very politely, without any concern about acknowledging the wrong person. Obviously, he had obtained Zhou Yan's information before.

"Hello, Manager Zhang."

Zhou Yan reached out and shook Zhang Long, and smiled and said, "Please sit down."

Zhou Yan and Zhang Long sat beside the coffee table in the living room.

Sitting directly opposite.

Zhang Long is obviously used to the world, so he is naturally very confident that he can control such small scenes.

Originally, Zhang Long didn't believe that the founder of Zhulang Studio, who could sweep the turmoil in Hongcheng, was an 18-year-old young man, but when he saw Zhou Yan, Zhang Long believed it.

Confident, not stage fright, and even after proving that he was the manager of Penguin's technical department, Zhou Yan was not surprised.

Zhang Long even saw a temperament from Zhou Yan.

The temperament of a leader.

He really looks very similar to Huateng.

Zhang Long's heart was muttering, but he kept a bright smile on his face. He said to Zhou Yan: "It's better to see him than to hear him at first sight. I have heard of Zhou's name many times in the Technical Department."

Zhou Yan smiled in his heart, but he still responded with a smile: "Brother Zhang has been awarded. Actually, I was really excited to see Brother Zhang today, but I just didn't show it."

Zhang Long was surprised: "What do you say?"

"Brother Zhang is very powerful. The foxmai he developed was sold at a high price of 12 million yuan in just less than two years. It is really amazing. Later, he joined Penguin and worked with Mr. Ma. This is something I envious of." Zhou Yan smiled and complimented.

Zhang Long is a middle-aged man in his forties. At this time, he was also blushed with compliment by Zhou Yan. He waved his hand: "Good luck, just good luck."

"This is not luck. If Brother Zhang was not very talented, but could not develop foxmail, I would be a little regretful to be honest." Zhou Yan paused.

"What regret?" Zhang Long asked subconsciously.

"I feel a little regretful that I didn't fill in the computer when I filled out the application form, but I filled in a mathematics major. If I fill in the computer, I might become the same technical expert as Brother Zhang and Mr. Ma." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

When Zhang Long heard Zhou Yan say this, he also smiled and said, "Learning computers is not an easy thing. Look at the hair on my head, there is not much."

Zhou Yan could actually vaguely see that Zhang Long's head was a little sparse. He guessed that his hair was so dense later should have been implanted. He laughed and said, "Have you ever heard a saying that I became bald and stronger."

Zhang Long pulled the corner of his mouth: "Who said this?"

"I said." Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You can replant your hair when you lose it, but it is rare in this world who are capable and talented like Brother Zhang."

"Don't compliment me." Zhang Long also smiled helplessly. He actually wanted to get to the point quickly, but Zhou Yan had been mastering the rhythm of speaking, just like an old fried dough stick. It was also a bit difficult for him to concentrate on research and development.

"It's not a compliment." Zhou Yan shook his head and took a look at the series of software Zhang Long developed in addition to foxmail, including those issued abroad.

When Zhang Long heard this, he always felt that Zhou Yan knew him better than him.

Zhou Yan revealed his admiration for himself from time to time, and Zhang Long gradually believed it.

Maybe Zhou Yan is really his fan, otherwise how could he know him so well with the information on paper?

Zhang Long even felt like he had found a confidant.

Looking at Zhou Yan became more and more intimate.

He smiled and said, "Zhou Yan, you are also very awesome. When I was as old as you, I didn't know what kind of entrepreneurship was. I was still a boy who was busy studying. You are only eighteen years old now and have already established Zhulang Studio, which I think is awesome. It integrates the information system of colleges and universities and establishes its own channel network. It costs hundreds of thousands of channels every day. If you really want to be envious, you are what I envy."

Zhang Long said it very seriously.

Zhou Yan smiled: "I just started, and it's far worse than the penguin."

Zhang Long smiled in his heart.

Compare with penguins.

How to compare with penguins?

Penguins are helped by the entire era, but now the peak of the Internet era has passed, and it is obviously impossible to create a myth like Penguin.

In fact, even Zhang Long is not sure whether the mobile app can make a successful software, and where is the profit direction of the app? These are still in the exploration stage.

At least in his current opinion, the mobile terminal should be a supplement to the PC terminal, as a traffic window.

But the real function may not be as important as the PC.

If Zhou Yan wants to develop an Internet company, he can only compete for jobs with old Internet companies. In his opinion, this is impossible.

Not to mention being on par with Penguin, being able to get into games, search engines, music and other aspects is amazing.

He had no idea how cruel the competition on the PC side is now.

Even the penguins have now found a point to maintain stability and can drink soup and eat meat.

However, Zhang Long can understand only when he thinks that a young man is full of energy. He doesn't expose it, but smiles and says, "You are still young and have many possibilities, and you will definitely be able to do it in the future."

Zhou Yan knew that Zhang Long was saying something to encourage him, and Penguin was indeed an insurmountable behemoth for Zhulang Studio.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Who can tell the future of things? But is Brother Zhang coming to Hongcheng to find me for what's the purpose?"

Zhang Long didn't expect that he didn't mention it, but Zhou Yan instead proposed it first.

But that's fine.

"That's right. I found out that you Zhulang Studio has registered a 'WeChat' trademark. I want to buy this trademark, so I come to Hongcheng to find you." Zhang Long said bluntly.

Zhang Long had already thought of the name WeChat in September, but unfortunately Zhou Yan took the lead. He understood that this was a special tacit understanding.

Zhang Long also has a deep obsession with "WeChat".

This is also the reason why he came to Hongcheng in person to obtain the trademark "WeChat" that was registered in advance by Zhou Yan.

"WeChat's trademark?"

Zhou Yan was also stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Long came to Hongcheng to find him for this reason.

Speaking of which, WeChat trademarks are actually insignificant. Zhang Long wants to give him certain conditions.

The real key lies in the kernel of WeChat.

A simplified version of instant messaging software for mobile devices.

Who can refuse an app that can make free calls?

Who can refuse an app that can send voice to replace text?

There is also WeChat Pay... these are the hot spots that attract traffic.

For WeChat, even if you name it Feixin, WeChat will have no impact.

As long as the kernel does not change, it will be popular.

But now Zhulang Studio has put a function bar on it.

User viscosity has been formed to a certain extent.

If the WeChat trademark is transferred to Penguin, then Home App will definitely not be able to continue using WeChat’s name.

Zhou Yan was actually a little disappointed when he learned that Zhang Long came to Hongcheng to find him because of this insignificant little thing.

But it is unexpected and reasonable.

Penguin doesn't like Zhulang Studio's current size.

If you want to buy the WeChat trademark, it is not so much Penguin’s decision, but rather Zhang Long’s.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said to Zhang Long: "Brother Zhang, if I agree to sell this trademark to you, what price can you offer?"

Zhang Long: "50,000."

A trademark fee is not much, and 50,000 yuan is already the largest price that Zhang Long predicts in his mind.

He believed that Zhou Yan would give him this face for the sake of the penguin.

After all, it is just an insignificant and has no trademark put into use.

But Zhang Long saw Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "Sorry, Brother Zhang, I won't sell this trademark."

Zhang Long was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why?"

"This trademark has been put into use and cannot be resold to you."

Zhou Yan refused directly.

He doesn't need 50,000 yuan at all.

He knew that Zhang Long seemed to have paid 50,000 yuan, but the actual price was his favor and his face.

But how much money can favors and face be worth?

Moreover, Zhou Yan has a project that can better cooperate with Penguin, and he believes that Zhang Long will not refuse.

Zhang Long felt a little disappointed when he heard Zhou Yan say this.

But what else can he say?

Say better conditions can be offered?

Zhou Yan had already refused. He lost confidence if he said anything he wanted.

As the manager of Penguin Technology R&D Department, Zhang Long also has his arrogance.

I won't ask for help because of a trademark.

The atmosphere also became stiff at this time.

Zhang Long's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he knew that it was time to get up and say goodbye.

"I..." Zhang Long was about to speak, and Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Since Brother Zhang is here, we can have other cooperation."

cooperate?

To be honest, Zhang Long didn't know what to do with.

Zhulang Studio accepted the capital injection of Hongcheng local capital Huayu Capital and Southern cmc Chinese private equity, and was not short of money or resources.

Penguin and cmc have never been very good at dealing with each other. It can be said that the two families can not pee in the same pot.

There is really no place to cooperate with.

Even if Zhou Yan has the intention to cooperate, I am afraid that the cmc of Zhulang Technology Co., Ltd. will not agree.

"Zhou Yan, what are you working with?"

Zhang Long asked curiously when his business failed.

"Have Brother Zhang heard of the QR code?" Zhou Yan asked.

"QR code?"

Zhang Long nodded: "I know."

"QR code, also known as qr code, is an information storage technology that first appeared in Japan." Zhang Long said.

"Brother Zhang, if the QR code technology is applied to mobile phones, is there any room for operation?" Zhou Yan asked.

Zhang Long also said with a smile that Zhou Yan was discussing the possibility of grafting QR code technology with him: "This is actually not difficult, but even if you can display the QR code on the mobile phone, you still need to have a decoding tool, which is of no use."

"What if the mobile phone itself is a decoding tool?" Zhou Yan asked.

Zhang Long was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up and he slapped heavily on the table: "This is a good idea."

Zhang Long and Zhou Wan looked exactly the same when she heard Zhou Yan's words.

However, at this time he was thinking about developing a QR code decoding app, and the operating limit of the QR code is actually very high.

In the final analysis, it is to store the information in the QR code.

And this is equivalent to a compilation, you can randomly graffiti any information on it.

Originally, Zhang Long did not think about decoding, but now after Zhou Yan dialed it a little, he felt that there was great potential.

Even after Zhang Long planned to go back, he began to develop the decoding function of mobile phone QR codes.

Just imagine, if you send a QR code on your mobile phone, you can scan the information in it with just a quick scan. You are usually very responsible for the cumbersome information dissemination, if you use a QR code to do it.

Zhang Long felt that there was great potential.

But before Zhang Long asked Zhou Yan about the QR code, Zhou Yan had already taken out a piece of paper with a square QR code printed on it.

"This is the QR code." Zhou Yan said to Zhang Long.

Zhang Long thought to himself that he didn't know the QR code.

But he nodded.

At this moment, Zhou Yan opened his mobile phone album and stored the QR code in the form of pictures on his mobile phone, showing it in front of Zhang Long.

Zhang Long took a look at the QR code picture on his mobile phone, and then looked at the QR code printed on white paper.

It also confirmed the conjecture in my heart.

This is feasible.

But he didn't know what Zhou Yan was going to say.

Then Zhang Long saw Zhou Yan start operating his mobile phone.

Because it was very close, Zhang Long saw Zhou Yan clicking on an app named "., and there was a photo album button below, which obviously meant to retrieve the photo album.

Zhang Long doesn’t know what the functions of this app are.

Because the interface of this function looks too simple.

Zhou Yan also started the demonstration at this time.

Zhou Yan retrieved a photo and clicked OK.

Zhang Long heard the phone jingle, and a brand new level 2 interface jumped out.

"This is...."

Zhang Long seemed to be unable to believe it, his eyes slightly opened.

He saw the QQ group chat interface, and the application for joining below was particularly conspicuous.

And this is just a QR code scan.

This...this...this.

This is a baby.

If this app exists, then the mobile ecology of QQ will definitely be more than one level higher.

Zhang Long looked at Zhou Yan, concealing the excitement in his eyes. He showed a bright smile and asked, "Zhou Yan, the cooperation you mentioned is this very simple app."

Zhou Yan nodded: "Its real name is Scan Scan, and what I want to talk to Brother Zhang is this QR code scan service."

Zhang Long was silent for a moment: "Is this function of Zhou Yan developed by you Zhulang Studio?"

"That's right."

The scan function was developed and completed by Zhou Wan and Gu Tian and several seniors.

and...

Zhou Yan added with a smile: "And we have registered a patent for scanning the QR code."

"I think Brother Zhang, you should have seen the practicality of this scanning function." Zhou Yanyi said with some scrutiny.

It's really practical.

Zhang Long murmured in his heart. He knew that the upper limit of QR codes is definitely not as simple as joining a group. In layman's terms, QR codes are hyperlink information on search engines. Only when you really click on it can you know what these hyperlink information are.

It is equivalent to simplifying some complicated information and programs through a QR code before running it.

Zhang Long deeply knows the role of QR codes on mobile phones.

Because this is clearly a very outrageous promotion channel.

For example, in the QQ group, you can only enter the QQ group number to search, but now you can directly jump to the grouping interface through the QR code. The only thing you need to join is the function of scanning the QR code.

etc....
