For lonely people, life is always fragmented. They solve one thing at a time, with no one to remind or urge them. If they had money and didn't have to hustle for a living, it would be even more so.
Especially Jiang Yizhou sitting in the Boss position, pondering or laughing, with no one to care whether he is working.
Of course, he is indeed working, such as thinking about the future development of the company. After developing the English version of qi and selling it for a good price, he plans to take that money to create a venture capital fund, investing around the world, mainly in China and the United States, in various companies and products that might become great in the future.
Then he could retire, whether by finding someone he loves to marry and have children with, or by traveling the world with a big sword or on a private jet; none of that would be a problem.
It really is quite alluring! Jiang Yizhou feels very positively about the idea of sleeping in for a few more minutes in the morning. After all, there’s no worry about being late and having wages deducted, receiving disciplinary actions, or ultimately being fired. Naturally, it’s zero years old retirement; after that, he can do whatever he wants.
Laziness is indeed one of the greatest enemies of an ambitious person. Running is not as good as walking; walking is not as good as sitting; sitting is not as good as lying down. Gradually slowing down his pace leads him to abandon goals that are visible or invisible in the distance, continuing on with a sense of annoyance but not much discomfort, following the crowd.
“Bang! Boss, is this your work result for the whole morning?” Song Rushi pushed open the door and walked in, discovering that the documents delivered earlier hadn't been touched at all, and the computer screen was still on some Huido site.
“There's no need to rush. Domestic matters just need stability. Why are you so anxious? Is the list for going abroad ready?” Jiang Yizhou turned in his Boss chair and asked leisurely after being stopped by Song Rushi.
Song Rushi became increasingly furious. What are you doing? Previously, she praised him for being unprofessional privately but still commendable at work. How could it be that just a few days later, even his working hours have turned into this? After all, you are also a founder! If you don’t care, who else will?
If people knew that the founder who had just given them a speech about qi's development goals for the next year or two was like this now, they would probably be furious enough to withdraw their investments!
“Wow!” Song Rushi pulled open the tightly closed curtains. The winter sunlight combined with the warm indoors instantly gave Jiang Yizhou a feeling of spring.
Song Rushi is not his superior but his subordinate; she is not someone he cares about. She can only stare intently at Jiang Yizhou, watching until he feels embarrassed.
Feeling somewhat hot under her gaze, Jiang Yizhou instinctively swallowed hard and immediately realized the awkwardness of this atmosphere. He couldn't help but soften his tone and said, “I’ll start handling it right away. You go ahead and keep busy!”
Song Rushi smiled gently, “No rush. I’m just waiting for your approval on those documents on your desk! Anyway, I have nothing else to do; I have plenty of time to handle it!”
Jiang Yizhou hurriedly opened the document and began to review it carefully, taking a pen to provide comments one by one. Song Rushi took the document with a smile that held a hint of sarcasm and left his office.
Jiang Yizhou let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he was afraid of Song Rushi, but rather that if he were still the lonely person he was in his past life, he wouldn't want to continue and could just walk away. However, now he was the founder of a company, and if he left, the company would collapse.
He decided to continue working for now!
"Fail?" Jiang Yizhou saw this familiar name in the software documentation area at the site. This name was usually recognized alongside its founder, Zhang Xiaolong, the future creator of WeChat and one of China's most outstanding Product Managers.
Was there already a failure at this point? Jiang Yizhou recalled that it indeed seemed to be around this time. Should he try to bring him on board?
However, this wasn't part of Jiang Yizhou's plan. He originally intended to grow qi larger and then sell it to America Online according to historical trajectories...
But this was a rare opportunity. If he could recruit Zhang Xiaolong, it would make him happy for at least half a month. Perhaps adding a Mailbox feature could lead to better sales?
It's important to note that at this time, Zhang Xiaolong was not yet the legendary Divine-Level Product Manager he would become in the future, but rather an ordinary programmer aspiring to work abroad. He had developed ail and had considered selling it multiple times to find a job overseas, but various reasons had delayed him.
Could this plan actually work? Jiang Yizhou felt a surge of excitement as he continued to devise ways to recruit him. After all, no matter how it was done, it wouldn't be a loss; at least he could gain hundreds of thousands of users for the Mailbox.
If that were the case, the Mailbox button would also appear on qi. However, it couldn't be like the historical Mailbox, which used numbers as prefixes directly.
Instead, Mailbox should be an independent software that could bind to a qi Number, but users must set their personal Mailbox prefix. Only friends could send emails through meaningless numbers assigned by qi.
There were many details that needed further research, but generally speaking, it couldn't allow the current Mailbox to become another spam hub. Let's give it a name—how about calling it qail Mail!
It seems that this is going to form a series! Jiang Yizhou thinks it sounds quite pleasant, so it's settled!
He found Zhang Xiaolong's personal profile, and the contact information listed should be reliable. He sent an email to the Mailbox address, and as for whether the other party would ignore his email, he didn't think that would happen; Jiang Yizhou believed his name was still quite well-known.
Next, he checked the domain names for the series, but many of them had already been registered. Is this a joke? Does anyone know how hard it is to come up with a name? Naming is a painful task!
Having registered so many domain names for future famous companies, he found himself in this situation. Jiang Yizhou wondered if he should change his name to "ail"?
It felt uncomfortable; a single letter combined with a purpose seemed better.
...
Zhang Xiaolong routinely checked his Mailbox, and suddenly, the ail Mailbox he created became popular. He became well-known because of it, attracting many people to contact him, which motivated him to continue updating the version. However, it remained just a hobby for him; he treated fail like his own child.
As Zhang Xiaolong was checking the Mailbox, he suddenly perked up. Among the unread emails was one from ailisjiang. He recognized this English name; it belonged to the founder of qi, who had been making headlines recently. He remembered that it used to be called neshipjiang—not because of his technical fame, but due to the $1 million venture capital he received.
What was going on? After reading the content, Zhang Xiaolong felt a bit embarrassed. The email was filled with compliments about him and his development of fail. It ended with an invitation to work at Zhengyi Technology and an offer to buy fail from him so that he could manage it.
