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

Not that they are stupid.

It's just that what Gu Xiu said was something they had never heard of. Even Ma Huateng, in this day and age, doesn't understand things like the Penguin Show.

"Our current chat window is just an ordinary chat dialog box, it's too simple."

what?

Is it simple?

And even if it's simple, isn't it better to be simpler?

The two are strange.

In today's Penguin, the chat window is indeed very brief, just an ordinary dialog box, with the other party's nickname and avatar at the top, the chat message interface in the middle, and the message editing bar at the bottom.

The only option is only one.

View each other's Penguin profile, as well as the option to send a message or close the chat box.

In the eyes of the two, the function is completely sufficient.

After all, isn't the purpose of talking about penguins just for chatting? Isn't it necessary to make some fancy things?

"Before, in order to quickly enter the market, you specially compressed the Penguin client file, allowing users to download and install our products faster."

"This is a good way, especially in a period when the market is rapidly opening up. It is indeed a perfect operation to do so."

"but."

"It's different now."

Having said that, Gu Xiulue paused, seeing that Ma Huateng was listening to his explanation seriously, and then continued:

"Our market has been opened, and user habits have been cultivated."

"The current active users will be our core users, and not just our users, they will even attract countless new users for us."

These words made Ma Huateng nod his head.

indeed.

Penguin is now firmly seated as the number one instant messaging software in China.

No one can compete with it.

Moreover, when the previous core users used Penguin for a long time, or even regarded it as a habit, they would often do it spontaneously.

bring in more users.

That's basically what Penguins are doing now.

They don't even need to promote their products, and a large number of new users will naturally join every day.

we can even say.

As long as the current Penguins can keep the server stable and avoid any major failures, basically they can naturally have more and more users lying down.

"Since we no longer have problems in recruiting new users, we have to start changing our thinking next."

"We have to shift from a perspective that needs to attract new users crazily to the direction of extending user experience."

"To put it bluntly, it is to expand the depth of the product and increase the user's use time and stickiness."

Expand product depth?

Ma Huateng's eyes lit up, and he thought of the emoji he had just seen:

"Boss, is this the emoji pack you made?"

"That's right." Gu Xiu nodded:

"To keep improving the user experience, we need to continuously introduce new features that are liked by users, and constantly expand the depth of our products."

"As long as users are continuously willing to use our products, Penguin can go further and reach an unshakable level."

"When everyone in the social circle of friends is using Penguin, we will be considered successful."

"Therefore, the function does not necessarily have to be able to bring benefits. This seems to be too hasty. Only when users really like our products can they be considered qualified."

"In fact, my plan is not just as simple as an emoticon package, we can also add a computer screenshot function."

"This is a small practical function. Users can directly use our screenshots after hanging up the penguin. This will definitely increase user acceptance."

"And the next step..."

"It's just cutting leeks!" Luo Xiang said excitedly beside him.

"What's cutting leeks?" Gu Xiu was dissatisfied: "That's called showing the player's self!"

"Exhibit yourself? Penguin show?" Ma Huateng reacted instantly.

"The setting of Penguin Show is a kind of virtual electronic image." Gu Xiu nodded.

Another file was opened.

There are also a few pictures inside, but it is a simple chat window made by Gu Xiu. When this thing first appeared, it immediately attracted Ma Huateng's attention.

"This is……"

"Penguin show?"

In this picture, the basic chat window of the penguin is retained, but the difference is that two characters appear on the right side of the chat window.

A man and a woman, but they were all just wearing white shirts.

This is the Penguin show?

Avatar?

Ma Huateng was puzzled, but soon, his eyes widened because Gu Xiu had already switched to another picture.

This time it is still the same chat window, but the difference is that the images of the two villains on the right have changed.

Originally, the characters were just wearing ordinary white shirts, but now they have put on different clothes, and one of them is wearing the skirt that Gu Xiu showed them just now!

"This is……"

"Avatar costumes!"

"Is this the Penguin show you mentioned, boss?"

In an instant, Ma Huateng reacted.

Before, I just listened to Gu Xiu's explanation, and I felt a little incomprehensible.

But see this now.

Ma Huateng instantly understood what the Penguin show Gu Xiu was talking about!

This is to add an avatar to the user.

Moreover, when chatting with other people, the image that will be displayed directly!

"Almost, it means this one."

"I want you guys, this is the function that will be activated next."

"The Penguin Show should actually be called the Penguin Show. Every user will have an initial avatar."

"And this avatar can be replaced and changed by directly clicking on the Penguin Show to enter a special website."

"We can list a variety of accessory images on this website, including clothes, pants, shoes, skirts, hairstyles, glasses, bags...even some background and front-screen special effects."

"Of course, if you want to change these styles, especially some good-looking styles, you need users to pay for them."

"Corresponding."

"We can also adopt a membership service model. Users can open a separate membership-like thing for Penguin Show and enjoy corresponding privileges."

"This model is not only applicable to Penguin Show, but also applicable to Fate Icefield, which our current users prefer."

"You can also dress up your little penguin with different decorative clothing and accessories to change your image on the Penguin Ice Field."

"This is the next step. I need the next update plan for Penguin."

"..."

Chapter 341 Pony Cyclops

What is Penguin's most profitable business?

When this sentence is asked 20 years later, countless people think of two at the first time.

Games and investments.

After all, Penguin has become one of the most profitable game companies in the world by virtue of those games that have swept across all age groups and ports, and combined with the business model in the eyes of Shanghuaqian.

As for investment, that is the rich return they bring from their continuous buying and buying.

But actually.

Maybe it's because games are so profitable that many people unconsciously ignore that Penguin had only one most profitable business before it went public.

Penguin show!

After 20 years, this thing seems extremely outdated.

Even after the arrival of the mobile terminal, the Penguin Show has directly become a piece of history, and even the Penguin Show can no longer be found on the PC side of Penguin.

But although this thing will become history in the future, it can definitely be regarded as a glorious history.

Is membership business making money?

Make money.

But compared to the Penguin Show, the membership business can only be regarded as sprinkling water.

At least in the era of the PC side.

Penguin show.

This is the real massacre!

But obviously.

Gu Xiu is full of confidence in this because he has experienced the future trend of the times, but for Ma Huateng and Luo Xiang who have just heard about this kind of thing.

That's different.

"Can this thing make money?"

"It looks like some small things like stickers. Not many elementary school students play this. Penguin users will spend money for this?"

"Boss, is this the tool you plan to cut leeks with?"

"In these days, no one would spend money on this, right? If you have the money to buy this, why not just buy yourself a new set of clothes, wouldn't that be better?"

"..."

The two expressed doubts.

In their concept at this moment, what the hell is an avatar?

This thing cannot be eaten or worn.

It's not like in the game, you can increase your combat power just by charging money.

Are there really two idiots who will pay for this?

Facing such doubts, Gu Xiu just smiled, and asked Luo Xiang: "Old Luo, you probably haven't paid attention to the three-body game's bubble hall recently, have you?"

"I've been busy with the CRBT Sky thing during this time, and BNB really didn't pay attention."

"It's the same method as Bubble Gum."

"what???"

Luo Xiang was stunned, he still planned to steal a teacher here, but he didn't expect that the company under him had a project that had already started to do this.

But the problem is...

Is this a thing?

Are you sure the boss is not fooling around?

Luo Xiang expressed doubts.
