Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 129 Triple Hit

Chen Hao now only has two weapons in his hand, deception and money. He doesn't know if they are effective or not. Anyway, generally people with awesome products like this are paranoid.

Let's take a step by step.

Just like this, under Chen Hao's random thoughts, the plane arrived at Baiyun International Airport.

Three days later, Chen Hao's brows were tangled with worry. Zhang Xiaolong, with an attitude of being indifferent, missed all his moves.

Maybe their unannounced visit disrupted his work rhythm, or maybe his pie didn't suit Zhang Xiaolong's taste?
No, social products and even the trillion-level account system were ignored. Zhang Xiaolong said a few words during the period, which meant that he was currently concentrating on improving his foxmail and had no time for other things.

Then Zhang Xiaolong left directly because the company had something to do, and Chen Hao and his gang didn't even enter the house.

We can't say a friendly farewell, we can only say a bad breakup.

Chen Hao returned to the hotel and fell into self-doubt. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that he was wrong.

It's not the business that drives me, it's my fault that I'm eager for talent and impatient.

He made a principled mistake. Zhang Xiaolong is currently in a state of "awakening" and is still a purely technical thinker. Later, he slowly turned into a product manager and formed a product mindset, so he started to follow the product mindset. A technical person talks about it, but he is completely wrong.

You must know that product managers are one of the natural enemies of programmers!

Thinking about it this way, Chen Hao felt that this trip was like playing a business game. He was the hero who visited celebrities all over the world and wanted to dominate the world.

Every talent has their own loyalty. Maybe Zhang Xiaolong will immediately vote when he meets Ma Xiaolong, but when he meets himself, he may have to catch and release him and go through some twists and turns.

In the case of visiting the thatched cottage three times, it is also necessary to visit the door twice more. However, it cannot be targeted and weapons must be deployed in advance for targeted strikes.

His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking of solutions. More than half an hour later, when Chen Hao felt that his brain was overclocked and was about to smoke, he quickly stopped and called Xu Pengkun from the next room.

After all, the two cobblers are also responsible for most of Kong Ming.

The two people turned on their computers and downloaded Foxmail, and began to search, organize and summarize all the information about Foxmail on the Internet. They compared and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of other competing mailbox products.

In January 1997, Foxmail 1 beta (English version) was born in a dormitory of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

In April 1998, the Chinese version of Foxmail 4 was launched.

On April 2000, 4, Zhang Xiaolong sold Foxmail to Boda Company for 18 million yuan, and he also served as the company's technical director.

On January 2001, 1, Foxmail version 8 was launched.

On January 2002, 7, Foxmail version 4 was launched.

It can be seen from the information that Foxmail is an excellent domestic email client software independently developed by Zhang Xiaolong and has powerful anti-spam functions.It uses a variety of technologies to identify emails and can accurately identify spam and non-spam emails.

Xu Pengkun murmured, "At present, foxmail is the email software with the most free users. It can be said that Zhang Xiaolong devoted the first half of his life to foxmail. It is not surprising why his obsession is so deep."

As he said that, he turned his notebook to Chen Hao and pointed to the information on the web page, "Look, foxmail is still being updated at the rate of one major version every year, which shows that his main work now is still polishing and perfecting this software. Product, so there is nothing wrong with spitting out the cake you feed me. If it were in another place, I wouldn’t eat it if it were me.”

Chen Hao also found some gains, "From online information, the profit model of foxmail is not very clear now. Although it tried to commercialize it after selling it to Boda, the number of enterprise users was not very large, and the effect was not ideal, and Boda Spending 1200 million is not to buy a product with uncertain revenue, this may be an opportunity for us.”

Xu Pengkun's eyes lit up, and he thought of a possibility in his mind. He asked Chen Hao with excitement, "Do you mean to contact Boda and acquire the foxmail team, so that Zhang Xiaolong can pack it up and take it away?"

Wagging his finger, Chen Hao muttered, "NONONO, the situation has become smaller, brother, I want to buy the entire Boda, so next time, it's time to use your strengths. I have only one request, a quick decision!"

Xu Pengkun punched the opponent and said with a bad smile, "If you can't deal with Zhang Xiaolong, then deal with Zhang Xiaolong's boss and become his new boss? Damn it, you are still the wrong person. But let me remind you, even then the other party may change jobs. , be careful not to lose your wife and lose your troops."

Chen Hao pretended to be mysterious, "I still have a backup plan to ensure that the fish cannot escape the hook."

Xu Pengkun stretched his waist and stretched his muscles, "Okay, then I'll go work on my own."

"By the way, let Boda keep this matter a secret, especially from Zhang Xiaolong!"

Xu Pengkun rolled his eyes and instantly understood the meaning of this move. He made an OK gesture, took his laptop back to his room, and began to remotely plan the acquisition with his group of people.

Chen Hao was left alone in the room. He took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Hanqing, find some good people to help catch bugs. Have you heard of foxmail? Yes, it only takes three days to get it. Just send it to me when the time comes. Okay, let's go to the capital. Don’t be in a hurry, it depends on your time!”

After the explanation was completed, Chen Hao went on without stopping. After downloading Foxmail, he continued to download and use Outlook, NetEase 163 Mailbox and QQ Mailbox. Currently, these four mailbox client software occupy the majority of the market.Although Chen Hao is not a product manager, he has never eaten pork and has never seen a pig run away. Through the very mature mailbox products of later generations, he deduced at the product level and compared the advantages and disadvantages of these software horizontally. Don't take it too easy.

While researching, I wrote and drew on paper to summarize.

The first move is to attack the enemy at the enemy's doorstep. Through the technical and product levels, focus on the areas that the other party is most concerned about and good at, that is, foxmail, destroying the self-confidence that he has always been proud of.

The second move is to take money from the bottom of the cauldron and acquire Boda, leaving him with no way out. Unless Zhang Xiaolong has the heart to give up Foxmail, this possibility is too small.

The third move is to package and merge other assets into Century Interactive Entertainment after acquiring Boda. Guangzhou retains the foxmail team and establishes a R&D center, with Zhang Xiaolong as the boss and providing foxmail solutions plus huge technical and financial support to accelerate the evolution of foxmail. of iterations.

He had already thought of a name for this move, so he called it: Give you a chance to learn about current affairs. My name is Chen Hao. Remember it!
This is the three-move Combo that Chen Hao painstakingly tailored for Zhang Xiaolong.

Brother Xiaolong, I admit that you are very strong, but if I use these three moves at the same time, how should you respond?

I have worked so hard for you, but Jin Yong didn't work as hard as you.

Otherwise, it can be said that those who engage in technology are the most difficult to find, especially this kind of talent, which cannot be judged by common sense.

The reason why Xiao Wu was easy to handle was that he suffered from inexperience. If you let him work hard in society for five years and try again, the recruitment cost will be at least several times or dozens of times higher.

Zhang Xiaolong, who is already in his thirties this year, often has the illusion that his skills have come to an end.

Ever since I met this guy named Chen Hao last time, he started boasting loudly and talking about building the largest game voice platform in China, a multi-billion-level game account center system, and how many investments were made in total. [-] million.

In his opinion, if he could make one, it would be due to the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. Oh no, even the smoke would not work, he still had to get it.

Today's young people start to gain air every second just because they have two stinky riches. They are big and comprehensive in everything, but they mean nothing when they really do it.In the end, he rarely controlled his temper and respectfully sent them away, but in the next few days, his life began to become magical.

First, the leader has become mysterious and mysterious recently. He looks at him more and more strangely. He refuses to ask questions and remains silent.

A few days later, I had to work a little overtime due to a meeting, and it was almost 10pm when I got home. Unluckily, I found that young man named Chen again at the door. He quite admired this kind of perseverance and not giving up easily. , this is one of the basic qualities necessary to be a programmer.

But he didn't intend to pay attention to the other party. He went upstairs alone and suddenly heard the young man's words.

"foxmail has a vulnerability!"

Zhang Xiaolong paused and shook his head. Are you trying to deceive me?You are still a little tender and just want to continue going upstairs.

"There are more than one, and they are all high-risk levels and involve user privacy."

It didn't feel like a lie. With a mentality of trusting others, Zhang Xiaolong turned on his heels and walked quickly towards Chen Hao. He looked at the paper in the latter's hand, which was obviously specific information. He was a little anxious to get it. Go get it.

Chen Hao put the things in his hands behind his back and stood motionless. He raised his eyebrows at him and said, "Won't you invite me to your house?"

Zhang Xiaolong took a deep breath, forced himself to regain his composure, and stretched his hand back.

"It's me, Meng Lang, Mr. Chen, please!"

Finally arriving at Zhang Xiaolong's house, Chen Hao looked at it curiously. The house was a one-bedroom apartment, very clean and he could see that Zhang Xiaolong was a refined person. Even the entry slippers were placed in the direction of the door. He was paranoid and detail-oriented. It was Zhang Xiaolong who left an impression on Chen Hao.

Only Zhang Xiaolong lives in the house. Sure enough, most programmers are single!
Chen Hao stopped hiding it and put the vulnerability and bug information in his hands on the table.

But Zhang Xiaolong uncharacteristically did not take it. Instead, he looked at the rich second generation with some caution. He felt that his previous impression of this person was biased. This person was not as handsome as he looked on the outside.

"What conditions?"

"You might as well take a look first, and we'll talk later."

As time passed, Zhang Xiaolong's hand holding the paper began to tremble slightly, which showed his violent mood swings at the moment.

After a few minutes, he put down the pieces of paper and muttered to himself, "This is impossible, why are there so many."

There are not only more than a dozen bugs and several high-risk vulnerabilities, but also product-level defects. He just looked at them.

Officially, because he knows every detail of foxmail and the code structure, he is even more sure that the content on the paper is meaningful and to the point.

These are indeed very serious problems, especially one of the loopholes that, under certain scenarios and conditions, will cause the address book in the email to be leaked. It is self-evident what this means.

This is not over yet
