"Alright, alright, I admit it, is that enough?" Jiang Yizhou turned his head and smiled, trying to mask his embarrassment. He was still lacking in ability, especially professional skills. In his previous life, he had been a migrant worker, and although he had slightly risen to the position of Foreman in the end, it was merely due to some experience; his technical skills were still average.
Now, as he ventured into different fields, Jiang Yizhou could only provide guidance based on his memories. His learning ability was below average compared to the employees at Ailumese.
The only commendable aspect was that perhaps due to the fusion of two souls, his spirit was always high, and he was full of energy—if only his body could keep up.
This supported his rapid learning speed, but it still couldn't match the levels of others who had immersed themselves in their fields for years.
Arriving quietly at the company, the news about IDG transferring its equity was known only to a few executives; even the frustrated Ma Huateng dared not disturb them.
Seeing a few people quietly waiting for him, Jiang Yizhou chuckled, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Do you think I'm a beggar on the street?"
Shen Qing, following behind Jiang Yizhou and Song Rushi, had been paying close attention to their closeness, which was indeed quite intriguing.
Li Jian had also quickly been impressed by Zhang Zhidong's technology during these days; however, he still had a lively personality. "Boss, didn't we hear that eLink is about to be acquired? And the acquirer is America Online, one of the few Internet giants with a strong ambition!"
Jiang Yizhou laughed heartily and led everyone to a discussion area where they sat around a table.
"Isn't that a good thing? If they are willing to pay a high price for someone else's equity, does that mean my equity is worthless? If I'm acquired, I'll immediately become a Billionaire. Don't overthink it; for me, being acquired versus continuing operations just means the difference between having hundreds of millions and billions in net worth. Why are you worrying about this?"
With this statement from Jiang Yizhou, the atmosphere instantly relaxed. Aside from losing control of a long-established company, Jiang Yizhou was actually stepping onto the peak of his life. He himself viewed it lightly; there was no need for his subordinates to worry about this matter.
"I just arrived in Beijing and received this news, so I won't have much time to deal with Zheng Yi's matters next. Therefore, I want to hold a brief meeting here. Everyone can report on your situations!" Jiang Yizhou directly extended his hand and looked around at those present.
Zhang Zhidong was the first to speak about his recent work. "Currently, qi has stabilized with major version updates once a month and weekly updates. Due to the current internet speed in the country, frequent updates are not advisable."
"Additionally, the rewrite progress of qi has basically been completed, which can avoid copyright issues with the international version..." Zhang Zhidong suddenly realized the meaning of Jiang Yizhou's command; had bss started preparing two months ago?
"Continue!" Jiang Yizhou urged, not responding to Zhang Zhidong's puzzled gaze.
"Moreover, the security connection issue has also been resolved, and other versions on different operating systems have gone live. However, the main focus is still on inds..." These were all tasks of filling in gaps, but they were indeed important.
"Zhi Dong, you're doing very well. Keep it up. The next step is to add a breakpoint resume feature for file transfers. Also, creating a standalone downloader would be great; let's call it Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is quite a catchy name!" Jiang Yizhou praised him and assigned a task.
The task itself wasn't much, but the word "standalone" surprised Zhang Zhidong. Standalone meant establishing a project. Currently, Zheng Yi was implementing a Product Manager system; qi itself was a project, Portal was also a project, and there was a game platform in preparation. Due to the limited number of ongoing projects, it essentially meant that they were just dividing work among themselves, making it largely ineffective.
It seemed that bss really intended to proceed this way!
Next, Jiang Yizhou turned his attention to Ma Huateng.
Ma Huateng carefully considered each word and quietly reflected, "I acknowledge my personal shortsightedness in blindly pushing forward the online paging business; I want to reflect on this here!"
Jiang Yizhou shook his head. "There's no need for reflection on this matter; it won't happen again. Although I'm in the United States, I take your emails very seriously. Even though the Internet is still in its infancy domestically, how many users does qi have?"
He casually asked this question, and Ma Huateng immediately reported the numbers. "The registered user count is close to 800,000, but the monthly active user count is only half of that, with real-time online users numbering just 10,000!"
"So few?" Jiang Yizhou thought he understood now. The number of computers nationwide might be less than the number of Internet users, and despite telecom companies having introduced two internet access methods—16 and 169—with reduced costs, most people couldn't go online frequently. It was like students who could only save up enough money to visit an internet café once a month.
Moreover, reaching this figure for qi was already quite significant; almost every internet user had their own qi account.
"I was too greedy, treating the domestic market like the United States," Jiang Yizhou explained. "But I believe that within five years, the domestic market will become the largest Internet market in the world, second only to the United States. I hope you can submit a work report and your thoughts to me regularly. If we all stick to the Product Manager system, what’s the point?"
Jiang Yizhou knew he was not capable enough; no matter how quickly he learned, could he really do everything? Developing qi and proposing some groundbreaking (mysterious) algorithms were his most valuable contributions, and now it was about this Product Manager system.
Products suitable for Zheng Yi would remain within the company as independent projects. If someone had an idea that was not suitable for Zheng Yi, they would invest in them to start their own business and become part of the Zheng Yi system. This was the best approach for someone like Jiang Yizhou, a Reborn Person.
If one tried to take on everything themselves, they would be treating all the talented individuals from the past twenty years of the Internet wave as fools.
Those who did that were the real fools! Jiang Yizhou had a clear understanding of this.
"However, Ma Huateng, you need to understand one thing: Zhengyi Technology is an Internet company. What you are doing is not wrong if you were at a paging company."
"But here, it’s putting the cart before the horse. Everything we do is to get as many users as possible to use our products. For online users, paging functions are not important; they should just be seen as a convenient feature."
Currently, the domestic market was still stuck in traditional software industry thinking. The impact of the Internet had not yet reached its peak with the emergence of the three major Portals; after forums flourished and internet speeds upgraded, its influence on people became profound.
Historically, Ma Ge started his business in 1998 with a year of online paging services but faced dismal sales. It was only after unexpectedly transitioning into Instant Messaging that he found success and never looked back.
