Son, how did you become the richest man in elementary school?

A group of three people entered the office.

But Gu Xiu didn't go.

He was still strolling around the office, Luo Xiang didn't say anything, Tan Liangzhe didn't say anything, and Ma Huateng naturally couldn't say anything.

As for the employees outside, seeing Luo Xiang entered the meeting room, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and at first they put on an air.

But after seeing that Gu Xiu was just a kid, there was no reaction after a while, and everyone finally started chatting:

"Phew, it looks like the investor representative who came this time is not bad."

"Yes, quite approachable."

"It might really work out this time."

"Be confident, it will definitely succeed. When have those people who came before been so polite, all of them have their nostrils upturned like the uncle."

"I hope to get the investment as soon as possible, the company is about to be ruined."

"..."

Although Gu Xiu, the child who followed Yuanxiu's investment, is still there, but a child who is probably still in elementary school seems to be fine when he hears it.

Naturally.

There is no pressure to chat with everyone.

As for Gu Xiu, he didn't respond to these words.

It's just that the smile on his face grew brighter.

At this moment, he has come to a young man with glasses and a cropped head:

"I just saw that you seem to be planning to optimize the chat room?"

"Oh? Do you really understand code?" Zhang Zhidong, who was busy, was a little surprised.

What Gu Xiu said earlier was beyond the expectations of many people.

But most of the people didn't believe that this kid could really understand anything, but they didn't expect that the kid in front of him seemed to really know what he was doing.

"It's not difficult for something as simple as a code." Gu Xiu curled his lips.

"Uh……"

Zhang Zhidong was speechless.

Xin said that he has been hailed as a genius since he was a child. In the whole Penguin, the technology is also the top. I dare not say that the code is simple...

However, Zhang Zhidong didn't say this, but asked curiously:

"You know chat rooms?"

"There is a problem with your frame, and the format of the chat room has no future, I suggest you just give up." Gu Xiu didn't answer, but said directly.

"There is a problem with the frame, just give up the chat room???"

Zhang Zhidong was stunned, looked at his computer, and then frowned:

"What's wrong with that?"

"Too old." Gu Xiu shook his head.

"Old..." Zhang Zhidong was dumbfounded for a while, wanting to complain about it. There hasn't been such a thing as a chat room for ten years.

How can you say old?

However, looking at the child in front of him, who is estimated to be only six or seven years old, the other party said that he is old, and it seems that there is really no problem.

Seeing that Gu Xiu had already started talking to himself:

"There are too few users in the chat room, and the activity is very low. Give up. It's a pity. After all, there are still users."

"If you don't give up, but it drags down the server, it's a bit tasteless, and it's a pity to discard it."

"What you are thinking about now is how to choose, and you are struggling with it."

"Am I right?"

"This...you...how do you know?" Zhang Zhidong was shocked.

There is no way not to be shocked, what the kid in front of me said.

It's all what I think!

It's like being able to see what's going on in your mind, exactly!

chatroom.

This is a product that was born when the Internet first entered China in the last century.

In the days of dial-up, instant chat and portals were out of the question, and even forums weren't even a thing.

Many netizens are even proud of remembering several good website URLs.

But the early netizens standing on the huge waves of the Internet naturally had the strongest desire to express themselves, so chat rooms were born.

To put it bluntly, it is a section that provides links for dial-up users to enter and communicate in text.

Don't say far.

Back then, Ma Huateng himself even made a horse stand out. Among all the chat rooms, the horse stand back then was considered unique.

Very hot.

Even, many of the big names who are well-known in the Internet industry today were also active users in the chat room at the beginning.

But this thing is no longer popular.

With the emergence of Penguin's instant messaging OICQ, the rise of major portals, and the emergence of forums, chat rooms have gradually become less used.

Penguin did not give up on this thing, so in their software, in addition to chatting with friends, they also prepared several large chat rooms.

Netizens do not need to add friends, they can chat directly in it every day.

But as Gu Xiu said.

For many people, the current chat room is not very attractive, either they can't get in the conversation at all, or their words are ignored.

Gradually, except for a small number of users, many users will not even enter the chat room to take a look.

It is indeed a pity that it is tasteless to eat and discard.

"In the past, people used chat rooms because they didn't have the private chat option of friends, but now what you mainly do is to add peer-to-peer friends and chat in real time."

"Whoever you like to chat with, you can add friends directly."

"Under such a development background, do you think chat rooms still need to exist?"

This……

Zhang Zhidong fell into deep thought.

Indeed, chat rooms seem unnecessary.

but……

"Do you think we should just give up the chat room?" Zhang Zhidong was a little unwilling: "Xinlang is also building a chat room, and it's doing well. I think there is still hope."

"There is indeed hope, but the mode must be changed." Gu Xiu said.

Change mode?

Unable to bear it, Zhang Zhidong sat up straight and asked seriously, "Then what do you think the chat room should look like?"

But seeing Gu Xiu smiled, and lightly threw out three words:

"Interest group."

Chapter 167 Chat Rooms and Interest Groups

"Interest group?"

This unfamiliar word made Zhang Zhidong narrow his eyes and think for a while, feeling a little half-understandable in his heart, but he didn't have a unified concept.

For a while, Zhang Zhidong felt like scratching his head, and even couldn't wait to ask:

"Could you please elaborate?"

This scene is absurd, at least other people in the office feel a little weird when they see this scene.

Who is Zhang Zhidong?

That's the founder of Penguin Zheng'er Bajing, who is a top master in computer technology in the entire company, the god of typing codes!

In everyone's opinion.

As long as it is in programming and software manufacturing, there is nothing that can stop Zhang Zhidong!

But now.

This genius god, now he can't wait to ask a little kid a question?

What about trouble?

However, Zhang Zhidong didn't notice the stares and incredulity around him at all. All he was thinking about now was what Gu Xiu said.

Chat rooms and interest groups!

Fortunately, Gu Xiu did not disappoint him either:

"The so-called interest groups, to put it bluntly, are strangers from all over the world, regardless of whether they recognize each other or not, and eventually gather in a relatively small and closed chat room due to some interest reasons."

"In such a chat room, everyone can speak freely and discuss topics of interest to them."

Relatively small and enclosed?

Xu Chenye was thoughtful, but then frowned: "But what's the difference between this and a chat room?"

"Of course it's different." Gu Xiu shook his head:

"The previous chat room was a public chat channel, where everyone could chat from all over the world, and anyone could join the chat room and say something."

"This makes the chat more open, but at the same time, it also reduces the chat experience a lot, because anyone can come in without any target screening."

"Not to mention, everyone's chat topics are different, and some people even maliciously pollute the chat room layout."

"Even if there are no such people, haven't you noticed that some people are talking in the chat room, but no one pays attention at all?"

Zhang Zhidong nodded.

There are indeed such cases.

At present, the several chat rooms opened by Penguin are often like this. Up to now, the content of the chat rooms is very scarce every day, and the activity is very low.

And even in several chat rooms with high popularity, many new users cannot join.

Having nothing in common is a big problem.

As time goes by, no one wants to chat in the chat room anymore, and this has formed the current situation that makes people feel that it is a pity that they are tasteless and discarded.

"Then what's the difference between the interest group you mentioned and the chat room?" Zhang Zhidong asked.

"The difference lies in the closedness. The chat group will not be as big as the chat room, and if you want to participate in the discussion, you must join the chat group."

"As for this chat group, the manager is no longer an employee of Penguin, but the creator of the chat group, or the administrator of the settings."

"And, the creation of interest groups is created for common topics."

"I understand!" Zhang Zhidong interrupted Gu Xiu's words, and said pleasantly:

"Similar to some professional forums, those who like music and those who like games are discussed in different forums and have nothing to do with each other!"

But Gu Xiu shook his head: "Yes, not right."

what?

Zhang Zhidong was surprised:

"What's wrong?"

"There are many interests, but they should not be limited." Gu Xiu explained:

"For example, I can set up an astronomy hobby group, I can also set up a classmate group, and I may even have a company group to communicate and distribute news in a unified way."

"If the previous chat rooms were peer-to-peer circles, then the interest groups I'm talking about are independent circles one after another."
