Chapter 57 Trust is the foundation of one’s life

What we need to do now is to open up wasteland, and then establish a firm foothold and work steadily, rather than racing to enclose the land, slash and burn, and wait for the harvest.

It is expected that after the instant messaging software is launched in September, the biggest challenge is how to attract not many Internet users to continue using it and use it as a seed to grow into a towering tree.

Before that, Jin Shang’s plan was to draw on the successful experience of his previous life and play around with it. During the operation and promotion process, he used the sign of chatting and making friends, hinting to netizens that “there are beauties here that can be flirted with”, but he never said it in public.

Raising such "rumors" removes the company from the risk of being involved in the whirlpool of public opinion.

If the early methods of making friends on the Internet were not simple and crude, no one would be interested in them.

In the age when chat rooms are so popular, it’s hard to imagine how much jaw-dropping content is hidden in chat rooms without seeing it with your own eyes; not many people have played with the floating bottles that cast nets everywhere, even with this kind of relative

The more "simple" mode can still be played to create "flowers"; relatively speaking, the "Shake" and "People nearby" in the mobile Internet era appear to be much more serious.

Of course, the idea is good, but how to grasp the scale must be carefully weighed. Don't really be labeled as "low style" because you cross the line, and be reduced from a popular dating software to a "dating tool."

Then the gains really outweigh the losses.

Jin Shang didn't think about how to do it specifically. He just decided on the name and called it "Jinxi". This was during the company's name verification stage and he had already thought about it when the "Jinxi culture" was decided.

To say how profound the meaning is, it is not that the word "Jinxi" means tonight. People who have received nine years of compulsory education can basically understand "Guo Feng·Tang Feng·Cui Miao" from the words and sentences.

"Tonight, what evening" are connected together, which has a more obvious meaning of warm and happy love between men and women.

When you see the "Jinxi" instant messaging software, in addition to being unfamiliar and curious, you will more or less have a hunch that this thing is used to make friends.

As for the nature of "friends", it depends on personal preference.

In order to strengthen this impression, Jin Shang even came up with a killer weapon such as "Shui Melody Songtou: When Will the Bright Moon Come"? Such a masterpiece has been handed down from generation to generation, and it is not necessary to use one article at a time. It is not until the critical moment that it is released.

After communicating with Yin Muye, Zhang Youling, Li Rong and others, Jin Shang suddenly realized that the group chat function might really become one of the key means to break the situation.

It seems to be a good method for the operator to proactively establish a number of unique "groups", select some users to join, and set chat topics in advance to increase activity.

The early instant chat software that was popular in the previous life, the "group chat" function, appeared very late. Because the foundation is already very solid and the technology accumulation is very strong, so in one step, such services are opened to all users, and almost all accounts can

Create your own group.

At that time, there was no need for operators to take the initiative and set up "groups" to set the pace. This was not only troublesome, but also likely to take unnecessary risks.

At this time, if Jinxi Culture wants to successfully operate a chat and dating software called "Jinxi", it may really need to develop services such as "blind dating", "travel guide", "local snack shop exploration", "fan club", "technology"

Exchange", "Fans Exchange Meeting" and a series of special "official groups" for interested netizens to join.

In today's Internet, except for the newly launched Northern United Online, there is not even a reliable portal website to be found. It is probably very difficult to expect netizens to take the initiative to find topics and news that they are interested in.

No need?

Then take the initiative to create demand!

It seems that colleagues in previous lives did not do this in the early days?

Even if BATJ becomes famous, it does not necessarily mean that he has not made mistakes. In order to explore the profit model, QQ also engaged in paid registration. It only lasted for less than a month and then canceled it quickly, almost killing itself.

The cases in my memory include not only successful experiences, but also lessons from failures.

In special times, it seems good for operators to take the initiative to provide convenience to users and teach everyone how to have more fun.

Moreover, this is a "coupon" that I really thought of on a whim. It is different from the "precedent" that I just use. It is my true success.

"The route can be followed, but the specific strategy may not be followed step by step. In the past life and this life, the national conditions are different, and the network environment is also very different. I can completely follow my own ideas and go my own way. I can learn from the cases in my previous life.

, there is no need to copy it completely.』

Without the object of "pixel-level imitation", you are at a loss and don't know what to do. Then this so-called entrepreneurship is too boring.

Jin Shang, whose thoughts were spinning in his mind, suddenly became clearer when he thought of this, and his eyes suddenly felt enlightened.

Listening to Yin Muye talking about the idea of ​​the "chat group" function within the School of Computer Science, Jin Shang, who had no abnormality on his face, echoed and mentioned part of his idea in a circumstantial way. The other party also agreed and started writing the program.

In the process, we will try our best to leave enough expansion space to facilitate the secondary development of Jinxi Culture.

After uncovering this important issue, Jin Shang mentioned the last issue that seemed inconspicuous but was actually very important.

"Although it is an instant messaging software, it is too 'instant'. Every time the sender types a character, it will be displayed in the recipient's chat box. If you accidentally enter a typo, you feel it is inappropriate after editing and want to modify it.

The information, even the correction process, is clearly visible to both parties."

This is obviously because the two parties in the chat share a dialog box. This has gone beyond the scope of "instant messaging" and is instead a "real-time chat".

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

Yin Muye asked with some confusion, and everyone present also felt a little strange. Isn't this what the so-called chat should be like?

Export without regrets, make a promise worth a thousand gold, but it will be hard to recover after overturning the water.

Seeing everyone looking at him with inquiring eyes, Jin Shang crossed his arms, sorted out his words for a while, and then solemnly explained:

"This is a misunderstanding caused by differences in understanding! Instant messaging is a text chat, which is very different from face-to-face oral communication. In essence, this is sending letters online, which is the same category as email. Regardless of the actual offline

Send a letter or send an email online, which one of you will show the draft to the other party?"

"You mean..."

After hearing this, Li Rongruo realized something and reacted quickly,

"The core function of the software you want is not long-distance instant messaging, but instant text messaging?"

"It may be necessary in the future, but now, this kind of..."

Jin Shang pointed to the almost completely synchronized chat boxes on the two computer monitors, smiled and shook his head,

"It's best not to be so direct. Instead, after confirming that it is correct, press the Enter key before sending it to the other party."

Netizens in this world have never experienced the torment of waiting for a reply after sending a message. Especially when they see that the other party is "typing" in the chat box, but there is still no movement, they are anxious and anxious.

Unrelievable depression and irritability.

Professor Zhang Youling, who had been listening and asking questions at key points from time to time, seemed to have thought of something, and said with some emotion:

"Xiao Jin's words make sense. My colleagues and I are also very cautious when sending emails. Writing a letter is a more serious matter, and words written in black and white cannot be denied. If the positioning of instant messaging is 'real-time letter exchange', then it is indeed

The input process cannot be fully shown to the other party."

After a pause, Zhang Youling added with a smile:

"Occasionally, I encounter some boring things. There are always people who treat emails as verbal chats, sending them one after another, and copying them to many people. I think these guys really need instant messaging software and

Group chat function.”

Jin Shang curiously asked Professor Zhang Youling:

"There are really people who do this? Then they really don't know the importance of grasping the scale of communication!"

Professor Zhang Youling smiled, a little coke, and replied helplessly:

"There are a lot of swear words and there are people who start scolding wars. Although everyone is usually sanctimonious, on the Internet, there are all kinds of monsters and ghosts here without face to face."

"That's really..."

Really unable to find the right words to describe it, Jin Shang had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

"In short, Professor Zhang and Brother Yin still need to consider how to improve this synchronization function."

Zhang Youling nodded in agreement:

"This is also one of the original intentions of our school-enterprise cooperation! We have researched a lot of results, most of which were done in the laboratory and behind closed doors. Too few have been successfully promoted and applied. With ideas like Xiao Jin,

With partners who are also proficient in business operations and know how to meet market demands, we can avoid many detours."

Indeed, there is no doubt about the technical capabilities of Beijing Normal University. Jin Shang, Liu Yanqing and Yin Feiyang also learned a lot of professional knowledge in the limited time.

However, in terms of specific practical operations, the teachers and students in the ivory tower do have a sense of being out of touch, especially when developing commercial software like instant messaging that directly targets the general public, they seem a bit at a loss.

Regarding modifying the display of the transmission function of the instant messaging software, the two parties discussed the specific plan and basically reached an agreement.

"It's a big harvest today, does Xiao Jin have any other requests?"

"Um!"

Facing Professor Zhang Youling's question, Jin Shang thought for a while and then replied,

"There is no doubt about the specific product framework issues. As Professor Zhang just mentioned, someone cursed in an email. Our instant messaging software will also have such problems, and it is very likely to be more serious. So.

, supervision and safety are very important. As an operator, our company actually bears the trust of the majority of users. Once a public incident occurs that affects our reputation and image, the consequences will be disastrous."

Indeed, an instant messaging operator is actually an intermediary service provider, similar to a virtual courier.

Professor Zhang Youling also echoed:

"Indeed, the focus of supervision and security must all fall on the company's credit. Once users have doubts about the qualifications and integrity of the operator, the foundation of the business will be lost. This reminds me of what my grandfather told me when I was a child.

The story of the little rural postman..."

"Letter?"

"Hey! Xiao Jin actually knows?"

"I heard someone mention it by chance."
