Chapter 887 Then I'll be a little more awesome

Because of the ben.larksn article, Li Mu and yy became popular in China again. This time, the media's gongs and gongs were overwhelming, which not only further enhanced the popularity of Muye Technology, but also helped Li Mu further confuse Boss Ma.

Li Mu's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and Boss Ma is envious and jealous, but if he thinks on another level, he thinks that this is not a bad thing.

The more popular yy is, the more important it is to Li Mu, and the more involved Li Mu's energy. If Muye Technology directly specifies a valuation of $10 billion in the US capital market this time, it may not be a good thing for him. The more valuable Muye Technology is, the more contempt Li Mu will naturally despise Taobao, and the more chance he will have to get up with his own Letao.

At this point, Boss Ma has completely put his heart in his stomach. He feels that he is launching a surprise attack on Li Mu in an extremely hidden and clever manner. As a sneak attacker in the commercial field, he feels that he has no chance of losing. The only question is how much he can win back.

After Li Mu finished washing up, he put on his clothes and went straight to Taobao. After Su Yingxue's reminder, he made important and urgent grading of his current work.

Although yy is extremely important, due to various restrictions, the urgency is not high. It is an important but not urgent task at the moment. The current Taobao promotion is getting closer and closer, and there are enemies waiting for opportunities in secret. This is definitely an important and urgent task. It must be placed in the most important position and given priority.

After staying on Taobao until the afternoon, Li Mu, Master Lei and other teams further refined and optimized the promotion activities.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu left Taobao and drove to Muye Technology. The article by ben.larksn gave him a reminder that Sn is actively imitating yy and wants to implement group chat function on Sn.

If SN really launches group chats, Li Mu will not be able to sue them for infringement, because it is difficult to apply for patents and protect patents in a product thinking. Those who can apply for patents are generally solutions to product thinking.

In other words, if SN just plagiarized the product thinking of group chat, he could not do anything to them, and he would not win a lawsuit with them in the United States. Unless the solution he used when developing the group chat product, the solution he used touched his own patent, otherwise, as long as he changed his thinking to solve this technical problem with a different idea than himself, it would not be considered infringement.

Li Mu is still very worried about Microsoft's approach, because once a company like Microsoft wants to follow up and imitate at the product development level, his technical strength is so strong that he will definitely catch up very quickly.

Now its own yy and Microsoft's sn are in a differentiated competition. Sn now mainly serves ordinary users and solves the social needs of ordinary users; yy now mainly serves elite users and solves the office and business needs of elite users.

At present, I am secretly planning "Paradise Town" to steal SN users. Microsoft imitates its own product functions and obviously wants to snatch its elite users.

Since this is the case, I have to continue to enhance yy's support for the office and business needs of elite users and develop more business functions to stabilize the elite users I accidentally got. Didn't the Americans say that they are awesome? Didn't the yy product be awesome? Okay, then I'll be awesome, so awesome that you can add to the server and make you prosper.

In the conference room of Makino Technology, Li Mu gave his core team and each of the development team's leaves, and detailed description of his more advanced product planning.

Among them, Li Mu believes that the most core product is the online preview function.

When Li Mu wrote the four words "online preview" on the whiteboard, no one understood what Li Mu wanted to say.

Or, what is online preview?

Everyone knows the preview function. It uses various document editing software to make a print preview before printing. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a preview. What does this have to do with whether it is online or not? As long as it is on a computer, can't preview be offline?

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Li Mu asked them with a smile: "Everyone, what is the most important tool in your work?"

Everyone's answers are different.

Some people say it is yy, some people say it is a development software, and some people say it is an email address. This has a lot to do with the difference in the types of work you work.

Li Mu asked at this time: "If any colleague thinks that email is the most important work tool, please raise your hand."

Among the more than 20 people, about six or seven raised their hands, accounting for one-third.

Li Mu asked again: "If you think emails can be ranked among the top two important ones, please raise your hand. The colleagues who just thought emails were the most important ones just now, please raise your hand again."

Among the more than 20 people, twelve or three people raised their hands, accounting for half of them.

Li Mu asked again: "If you think the email address can be ranked among the top three of the importance, please raise your hand. Please raise it again for colleagues who raised their hands the first two times."

This time, almost everyone raised their hands.

Although yy's one-to-one communication and one-to-many communication are very convenient, it still cannot replace the importance of email in work.

Although the work content presented in the form of emails is a little more cumbersome in the presentation process, it is more formal, more organized, and easier to be stored and retrieved. Therefore, until 2016, corporate email was also a very important work tool.

The importance of mailboxes in work is divided into two dimensions: internal and external.

When working internally, it can be used to issue notifications, publish work tasks, send work reports, various applications and project progress, etc. A leader can send an email to all employees, and an email can also copy multiple leaders and colleagues. Each employee will send and receive a certain number of work emails every day, and some even communicate dozens of emails a day;

In external work, email is also very important. Although yy's offline transmission is awesome, it still has a process of adding friends. The email address is different. As long as there is the other party's email address, you can directly communicate with each other. Therefore, in formal foreign business work, the role of email is also indispensable.

After everyone realized the importance of the email address, Li Mu said to them: "What is the type of attachment that has the most attachments in your daily email exchanges?"

Some say it is r, some say it is eel, and some say it is pf, pp, x, rar or others.

However, the most common thing to talk about is the four file types: r, eel, pp, and pf.

These four types are indeed the most frequently exposed file types at work, so it is natural that they appear most often in email attachments.

So Li Mu wrote all these four things on the whiteboard and said to everyone: "Okay, let's take a look at these four documents. Do you think checking attachments in frequent work emails is a very troublesome thing?"

Everyone looked at each other, and some people subconsciously said, "I don't think so." "It's okay."

Li Mu shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, these people who lived in 2002 had such easy to satisfy their needs for products. Instead, they were like a spoiled child. The various products these days made him unable to help complain about in terms of design and function. Even if others think they are awesome, he still feels that they are much worse. This is indeed because he is a reborn person. The Internet products in 2016 are really ahead of them now.

So Li Mu patiently said to them: "For example, someone sent a file to your email address, which is a document with only a few dozen kbs. How do you check it?"

A girl subconsciously said: "Download the attachment and open it..."

Li Mu nodded and smiled, "Look, from the moment you click on this email, what you need to do is: click the attachment to download, the download box pops up, select the storage path, and click Save; if you choose to download to the desktop, then you need to switch to the desktop and double-click to open it; if you choose to download to a certain folder, then you also need to open the root directory of the download folder."

Everyone nodded. It was indeed this process, but everyone seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and no one felt that there was any trouble.

Li Mu said at this time: "What if we have an attachment's [online preview] function? It's also from the moment you click on this email, you don't need to click on the download. There is also a [preview] button next to it. You only need to click on [preview] and a new page will pop up immediately, displaying the content in the attachment to you on the new page. Many steps will be saved in the subsequent steps, which not only saves your operating costs, but also saves your time. Think about it, isn't this a pleasure?"

Everyone frowned and thought. Fang Xudong was the first to come back to his senses and said in surprise: "Mr. Li, this function can indeed solve a big problem. In fact, most of these types of attachments are not required to be downloaded and saved at work. Just read them. They are usually saved in the email. Even if they want to forward them to other colleagues, they can be forwarded directly by email, and there is no need to download them to the local area at all."

Li Mu smiled slightly: "That's what it means. Think about it, if these files can be previewed online directly, how much time and energy can you save? Compared to the time and energy saved, I think what is more important is the pleasure of getting everything done with one click."

Others also figured it out and agreed with Li Mu's statement very much.

With such a [online preview] function, the experience will be much better, but when the problem arises, how can it be achieved?

Fang Xudong also didn't understand it at once. He asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, what technical means should we use to achieve the function of previewing so many documents online? Each type requires different software to open. How to preview them all on the page?"

Li Mu smiled slightly: "Lao Fang, you are a technical master, but you have to keep up with the pace in terms of products!"

Fang Xudong's old face turned red.

His product thinking is indeed average. His awesomeness is his execution ability. Li Mu told him what product he wanted and what functions he realized. After he realized it, he would use technical means to achieve it. However, he still has a great lack of letting him set his soul for a product like this. After all, the product and technology may have a certain overlap in the superficial stage. The deeper the direction, the greater the differences in the route will be.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Let me give you an example. Suppose we completely put the Internet aside. If you want to send a book to your friends to read, then you have to find a way to deliver the book to him; if you want him to appreciate a painting or a photo, then you have to find a way to give the painting or a photo to him; if you want to invite a friend to watch a performance or a drama, then you have to deliver the ticket or CD of the performance to them... All the transmission media for these needs are specific, either a book, a painting, a photo, or a CD."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him and did not dare to pant, Li Mu smiled slightly, changed the subject and said, "If! If at this time someone provided you with an image transmission solution, and only this solution, can you use the image transmission technology to solve the above four needs?"

Fang Xudong was instantly awakened and blurted out: "Mr. Li, I understand!"

Li Mu asked with great interest: "Do you understand? Then let me tell you."

Fang Xudong said: "What you mean is that although the media that need to be transmitted are different, they can all find a unified presentation method, because what we want to deliver to each other is not the book paper itself, nor the paintings and photos, or the CD itself, but the content they contain!"

"According to your metaphor, we can turn paper books into electronic versions of pictures and then transfer them to the other party, and he can also read the complete book; not to mention a painting, a photo, or a performance, all converted into image files, and directly transmitted through image can be perfectly solved."

Li Mu nodded in admiration and asked him: "What about that?"

Fang Xudong smiled and said, "So we need to develop a function that can convert all these types of files into hl page documents in our server. In this way, once the user enables preview for a certain type of document, our server will directly transmit the page documents converted into hl to him, allowing him to directly preview it in the page. Whether it is an R document, an EEL table, a PF or a PP, the content can be presented through page technology!"

Li Mu clapped his hands and said, "That's great! This is the online preview function I want! We don't have to worry about what type of file the user wants to preview. As long as it is suitable for presentation with page technology, we will convert it into page documents for him so that he can preview online without downloading."

As he said that, Li Mu said again: "Think about it, if a 30kb R document is converted into hl, the size of the page document will be around 30kb. Instead of letting the user download 30kb from the server and then store, search and open it, it is better to let the user download 30kb page document directly from the server, saving him other trouble and allowing him to browse the document content directly on the page."

When everyone heard this, they looked shocked and ecstatic, thinking to themselves: No wonder the American technology media said that he is the top ten product manager in the world. With his thinking mode, the top three in the world are not inferior, right?
