"Today, I would like to mention 'Brother Ma' and 'Brother Lei.' I hope you all can promote us more! It's all up to you!" Jiang Yizhou sat in front of a computer in this small room of several dozen square meters, which was filled with a row of computers.
Because there was basically no developed network for the future, any news could be shared worldwide instantly by posting a video on Weibo. Nowadays, if one wanted to promote something, it was often done through various social media platforms, and what Jiang Yizhou was familiar with was Huido.
"Old Wu, shouldn't we write a program for automatic posting?" Jiang Yizhou looked at the newly launched platform's download and registration statistics with some reluctance. It couldn't be that it would flop this badly, right?
Wu Ming moved his lips and seemed to want to lean back in his chair while drawing circles in disappointment. However, both leaders were disappointed with the newly launched product, which made those who had worked hard to disguise themselves as strangers and those who had just registered their accounts feel disheartened.
As a chat software, it not only had basic chatting and friend functions but also added a shake feature, which essentially recommended an online account to users from existing user accounts.
Regarding Jiang Yizhou's feelings about the instant messaging software, in front of a user base that wasn't large enough, instant messaging mainly catered to socializing with strangers. That feeling of chatting with someone thousands of miles away whom you didn't know was quite nice.
"Old Da, this person actually asked me philosophical questions and said a bunch of things I couldn't understand. What should I do?" An intern complained as he leaned out his brain bag and shouted at Jiang Yizhou.
"What is all this about!"
"I also have questions about the program!"
"This is also code!"
Jiang Yizhou found some aspects of this year's users hard to understand. Could it be that this software was released too early?
In this era, those who could go online were mostly professionals related to computing, office workers, and educators. In short, the threshold for going online was high; it wasn't like those who registered an account on their first contact with computers.
The cold wind outside howled as Jiang Yizhou's heart felt less hopeful about how successful this software could be!
"No matter how you do it, just let them stay online!" Jiang Yizhou took a deep breath. "We still have time; everyone shouldn't be discouraged!"
It seemed like you were the most disappointed! Everyone stared at Jiang Yizhou, silently expressing their frustrations in their hearts while continuing to immerse themselves in this meticulous work. At one moment they would play the role of a frustrated housewife; at another moment they would act as a programmer under pressure; sometimes they would even play the role of college students who had just come into contact with this software.
Wu Ming pulled Jiang Yizhou out of the crowded room.
"What do you think?"
Standing in front of the glass curtain wall, Wu Ming appeared much calmer than Jiang Yizhou. He felt half happy and half disappointed; happy because fortunately no money had been invested yet; otherwise, according to this trend, they would eventually lose everything. Although he felt guilty towards the young man beside him who had "grand ideals."
The loss was that good or bad was still one's own hard work—busy back and forth, resigning from jobs day and night laboring—wasn't it too bad to end up like this?
This also raised questions: networking costs money; this impression is deeply rooted among practitioners. However, not making money is also an impression deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Aside from advertising costs, what else can be earned? Wu Ming expressed doubts about this but people always need dreams. What if one day those dreams come true?
"What else can we expect? Just hang in there! In China's current network environment, we can only hope for some changes!"
"Why is it that 16 and 19 haven't come out yet? Why hasn't high-speed cat become popular yet? Mobile Dream..."
"Pull it down; this year even mobile has not been available; let alone any mobile dreams!"
Wu Ming glanced at Jiang Yizhou. He knew that thick plan book resembling a Chinese dictionary was filled with various ideas while what they were currently realizing was just the thin few pages ahead.
"I may not understand very well but I feel it's better to keep going!"
The two men chatted away without any particular achievements in mind; now they could do nothing but chat endlessly about what they could achieve together.
