The chat room meeting was a complete success, except for Pei Ziyang's troublesome input speed.

In the following two days, Huantu officially launched a new version of TT, which is also the fifteenth version iterated since February.

Chat rooms and custom chat rooms are next, and the focus is the launch of new anime avatars.

Different from the previous rigid, rough and borrowed style, this time the avatar design is owned by Huantu. Huantu owns all the copyrights and spent huge sums of money to recruit teams from the top four domestic art academies. The overall style is flexible and changeable, highlighting handsome, cute and new features.

, cool, to win the hearts of young people.

Then, the collaboration with "First Close Encounter" was announced.

Anyone who purchases the novel will get a redemption code in the avatar card that comes with the novel. With the redemption code, log in to the TT website and open the redemption page, you can randomly redeem a hidden limited edition avatar.

It's hard to say who is driving traffic to whom, because currently the number of people who buy books is far greater than the number of people who use tt.

The introduction of limited edition avatars will encourage TT users who don't read books to buy books, and will also encourage book buyers who don't use TT to download TT. It's a win-win situation.

If I have to make a comparison, it should be that TT took advantage of the novel!

This may also be the only time that TT takes advantage of other people's traffic before it completely grows.

After the linkage measures were announced, the Internet immediately aroused heated discussions.

Lin Baiyao expected this, because after the birth of the Internet, what was produced most was not content, but leverage.

Especially today's netizens are superstitious about the equality and free spirit of the Internet. A linkage like this is the first cooperation between the traditional book publishing industry and the emerging Internet that breaks the dimensional wall. It is groundbreaking and unprecedented. How can it be without controversy?

Lin Baiyao could almost imagine several points of controversy. For example, limited editions made obvious differences among users. For example, the cost of buying books made free books a dream. For example, the commercial atmosphere of Huantu Network was too strong and annoying. For example, the publisher Star

The food looks ugly and tarnishes the internet, etc.

Sure enough, in Sina's largest chat section, an opinion leader named Ling Ding under the roof angrily cursed four words:

Really a thief!

As the saying goes, what the Internet is most indispensable for is influencers.

Some people criticize it, and some people object to it.

Zhu Daguan's navy immediately dispatched, and the basic argument was a win-win situation.

Putting TT in a weak position, I would like to thank "First Close Contact" and the publisher for breaking through the shackles of thinking and choosing to enter into strategic cooperation with TT.

Anyway, no one on the Internet knows that Huantu Network and Xingsheng Culture have the same boss.

Then he incited some netizens to fight against the bell gang under the roof.

It is said that a man who is full does not know that a man is hungry. As a new company, Huantu Network has developed such an easy-to-use instant messaging product as TT, which is the welfare of netizens and the light of China.

But in order to promote it and let more people like and use it, it has to cooperate with other businesses. This is just the most normal business behavior. Which Internet convention does it violate?

It is said that he had sinister intentions and took the black money from competitors to deliberately discredit Huantu Network.

What competitor?

Of course it's big companies like picq, cicq, and ommo. Well, Xiao Ma's oicq was too weak at the time and no one knew about it, so he couldn't even get into trouble.

This statement comes from a post claiming to be the uncle of a core employee of Huantu.

My uncle has reliable information that Huantu Network will not take a penny of profit sharing from this cooperation, which is equivalent to giving free benefits to readers who purchased the novel.

Later, a financial reporter in the chat room asked both parties and received confirmation from Huantu Network and Xingsheng Culture through non-public channels.

As a result, the Uncle Party became famous and successfully changed the direction of public opinion in its first appearance.

That’s right, Huantu doesn’t cost money, mainly because the interaction between the male and female protagonists in the novel is TT, so is it wrong to cooperate with Xingsheng to provide readers with some benefits? It’s not a shameless infringement.

If you don't like it, why don't you buy a book? If you don't want to spend money on a book, then you still have reason?

Of course, stubborn people are still not convinced.

But their posts either disappeared inexplicably, or they violated community rules and were banned. The chat room was also flooded with neat and orderly comments supporting Huantu. The carefully written words they sent out could not be retained for a second.

It can't make any waves at all.

Are you kidding me, Huantu Network is the sponsor of major portals and has put in a lot of advertisements?

When there is a headwind, it is difficult for a website to make public moves. After all, the website has to stand on the side of the majority of users. But now that the wind is coming, with deletion of posts, banning of comments and traffic restrictions, and one-click three-in-one package, who can withstand it?

Today’s netizens still don’t know anything about the power of capital!

As a result of this battle, Bells Under the Eaves finally couldn't stand the pressure and apologized. The official posted it on the top of the forum for a week to show fairness.

The attention generated by the battle was directly converted into sales.

In the first week of release, "First Encounter" sold 260,000 copies!

Although it cannot be compared with "The Revolution of Learning", it has already surpassed others and occupied the first place on the weekly best-seller list.

This week, the number of clicks on the TT website exceeded 100 million, the number of registered users quadrupled, and finally exceeded one million, the number of people online at the same time exceeded 100,000, and the number of chat rooms online at the same time exceeded 50,000.

And the most popular Bihaiyinsha chat room in this era, from its birth to its demise, at its peak, there were only 50,000 people online at the same time.

ttIt only took a week to do it!

An interesting thing happened during this period. When Lin Baiyao was sitting on the company computer watching the debate between the two sides, he noticed an inconspicuous post in the main building, whose online name was Pony Xiaoma.

Amid the surging saliva, Pony's voice was like the murmuring of mosquitoes. Not to mention splashing, there were no ripples.

"Actually, you can also check out oicq. Really, the user experience is no worse than TT..."

It's so humble and heartbreaking.

Lin Baiyao casually replied: Come on.

Pony Xiaoma excitedly sent a private message to Lin Baiyao: Brother, I will send you a link to try it out, it will definitely work.

Lin Baiyao replied: OK.

Then copy the link sent by pony Xiaoma, go to oicq's official website, and download a self-extracting package .exe executable file made by winzip.

Out of trust in the official website, Lin Baiyao did not use the anti-virus software mcafee installed on the computer to check and kill some new viruses. However, some new viruses may not be detected even if they are checked and killed.

The computer quickly became infected and lost control. The hard drive crashed and was completely unable to start.

Lin Baiyao immediately unplugged the power and sat there for a while, not knowing whether Pony was fake, the official website was fake, or his own computer was fake. When he was dumbfounded, he called Cai Xinfeng and asked him about the virus.

.

Cai Xinfeng logs on to the Internet every day to learn about the latest, cutting-edge and coolest technologies, so when he heard Lin Baiyao's description, he laughed and said: "This is the CIH file-type virus that became popular in Europe and the United States at the end of April this year. This

The virus is very powerful. It uses vxd technology, uses the chat module tool, and uses pirated CDs and pirated win95 and 98 systems as the medium. It likes to attack hard disk data until it damages the motherboard and bios firmware, and is extremely lethal."

Fortunately, Lin Bai was using the computer left before Huantu moved away. There were no important files in it, but a lot of games were installed on it.

I had a showdown with my roommates some time ago, and I just brought them here to play on the computer, so I don’t have to worry about any special losses if they get infected by a virus.

After listening to Cai Xinfeng's description, Lin Baiyao suddenly remembered that the CIH virus was also known as the Chernobyl virus abroad. It is said that in order to commemorate the accident, it was selected to occur on April 26 every year.

He was not very proficient in computers in his previous life, so he did not immediately think of this famous virus that was rampant at the turn of the century.

This will revive the memory, and all kinds of information will flood into his mind, and he said: "Lao Cai, this matter cannot be ignored. If I guess correctly, there are already a few computer infections in the south, and it will soon spread to the whole country. You quickly organize manpower to target CIH

If the virus comes up with countermeasures, maybe it can also earn Huantu some fame..."

Cai Xinfeng hesitated and said: "Boss, there is a domestic company that just launched a version of anti-virus software called Kingsoft Antivirus in April. I have seen it and the technology is quite strong. Once CIH spreads, they will naturally come forward to deal with it. We

No need to waste energy..."

"It's different, this is an opportunity!"

Lin Baiyao said: "The future development of the company is inseparable from dealing with Internet cafes. If we can first develop CIH's anti-killing applet and install it in Internet cafes across the country, we will have a foundation of trust and business contacts with each other. When we need to cooperate in the future

, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

Cai Xinfeng was even more confused and said: "What kind of relationship do we have with Internet cafes? Yes, the promotion of TT cannot be separated from Internet cafes, but the installation of TT is first of all the needs of users, not the needs of Internet cafes. With the intensity and breadth of our advertising, Internet cafes can

The effect is negligible..."

"Not for tt."

Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "Lao Cai, have you ever thought about what profit Huantu will rely on after it has passed the money-burning stage? Advertising? But what advantage does the advertising effect have compared with the portal website? So TT will still be in the market for a long time.

We will continue to burn money, but we can find another way to make money, and this way is closely related to Internet cafes."

Cai Xinfeng finally understood. Of course he had full confidence in Lin Baiyao, otherwise why would he put his future and future in Huantu? "Okay, I will personally lead the team and try to find a solution in the shortest possible time."

Lin Baiyao has confidence in Cai Xinfeng's technology, but it is being studied at home and abroad and must be one step ahead. So the information gap is his leading advantage.

"Well, time is tight. Just wait a moment. I'll have someone investigate the origins of the author of the CIH virus first..."

"ah?"

Cai Xinfeng was completely confused. If the virus author could be found, the Internet would be a hacker's back garden. No matter how superstitious he was about Lin Baiyao's strength, he could not help but have doubts at this time.

Unexpectedly, just over twenty minutes later, Lin Baiyao called and said, "I asked a friend to help me find Chen Yinghao, a senior student at Wandao Datong Institute of Technology. I have asked Pei Ziyang to contact Qiongyao Company over there in Wandao."

We must find him today, and then force him to tell us how the virus works, and hand over the detoxification program and defense program, so that we can save time competing with other anti-software companies..."

Cai Xinfeng no longer knew what to say, so he could only nod his head frequently. Deep in his heart, he was once again shocked by his boss.

"By the way, the hard drive of my computer is probably broken. Is there any way to repair it?"

Cai Xinfeng said: "Boss, my thirst cannot be quenched by far water. You are guarding the treasure mountain to beg for food from me. Why don't you ask for the Fairy Hummingbird? Her skills in this area are more solid than mine..."
