Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 117 X-Project, start!
One day in mid-August,
Chen Mo first communicated with Huang Jiangji, and then came back to select the troops and generals.
"Li Jianchao, Fan Dian, Zhang Chao, Sun Ziwei, Qi Mengmeng, the five of you come here and have a meeting!"

In the small conference room, looking at the five confused people, Chen Mo got straight to the point.
"Next, you will form a special team to conduct secret research and development of a project. The level of confidentiality is known only to heaven, earth, and you. Apart from that, you cannot reveal a single word to even your relatives and friends. If you cannot do it, it is not too late to quit now."

After saying that, Chen Mo looked at the five people in front of him, waiting for their opinions.

None of the people present backed down, and Zhang Chao said, "Boss, just talk about the project."

To be on the safe side, Chen Mo still reminded them, "If there is a leak because of you, don't blame me for firing you directly."

It was rare to see their boss so serious, and these people looked stern.

Seeing that no one backed down, Chen Mo nodded secretly. This was within his expectations. After all, he had considered for a long time before choosing these five people, and they were carefully selected from multiple dimensions such as loyalty, adaptability, and technical ability.

Li Jianchao, former technical manager of Shanghe, has unquestionable technical, management capabilities and project experience, and is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for this project leader.

Sun Ziwei, my half-brother, is a little too smart, but he has strong technical and business capabilities, so I feel more at ease bringing him over.

Zhang Chao, this period of time is like taking an aphrodisiac. His technical ability and attentiveness have improved visibly. He is also the one who creates the atmosphere. We need someone like him in the group.

Qi Mengmeng, who switched from a programmer to a designer, seemed to have grown wings and evolved in all aspects. With her outstanding artistic skills, her current design level is not far behind that of Li Jing, who has been working for five years. Moreover, the initial version of WeChat did not have very high requirements for design, so it was completely sufficient.

Fan Dian, actually at first Chen Mo wanted to ask Lao Yan to come over, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Huang Jiangji would be suspicious if he asked him to come over, and MIOS also needed someone with good skills to take charge. So he had to settle for the second best and asked Fan Dian, who was relatively innocent and had good skills and personality.

Li Jianchao was chosen as the project leader because he is an old man in Shanghe. Sun Ziwei is a natural and Fan Dian is also a pure technical staff. They would not have any messy thoughts like why the new Li Jianchao should be the project leader instead of me.

These five people can directly join the battle without much adjustment. They are the special forces team in Chen Mo's mind.
Seeing that no one had logged out, Chen Mo began the main topic of today. He projected his mobile phone screen, opened QQ on his phone, and began to demonstrate daily operations on it.

"What do you think after watching it?"

"Feeling okay? Isn't it always like this?" Sun Ziwei scratched his head.

Qi Mengmeng frowned, feeling that there must be a deep meaning behind this move by her master. Thinking about the operation just now, "I feel dizzy looking at the QQ page, and I can't see the key point for a while."

Fan Dian seemed to be thinking about something, and uttered a word, "Heavy!"

Li Jianchao added, "It feels like using a mobile phone to operate QQ on a computer, which is a bit awkward."

Zhang Chao opened his mouth and finally managed to say, "Okay, everyone has said what I wanted to say."

"Everyone is right. I checked the relevant information and found that mobile QQ appeared as early as 2003. After so many years of development, it still remains in the traditional Internet mode. What is it now?
It is the era of mobile Internet and smart phones, and 3G is here!

Mobile QQ is still developing products based on the old-fashioned thinking and is no longer able to meet the needs of the mobile Internet era, which requires short-term, flat and fast response times.

So this gives us an opportunity.

Imagine what the scene will be like when we make an instant messaging application that meets the attributes of mobile Internet?
Xiaomi mobile phone creates a platform, and the application we create will occupy the entrance to mobile Internet. What a scene it will be.

What you are about to create is such a great product that will change the future of mobile Internet!"

As he was talking, Chen Mo opened his hands, as if he had turned into a savior and fed the pancake stained with chicken blood out naturally.

The eyes of everyone present were more heated than each other. To be honest, they just wanted to eat Chen Mo's pancake. After all, they had just digested the big pancake they had last time and were hungry again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting lively, Chen Mo turned on the projector and played the prototype of WeChat.

Everyone looked at it and said, "Huh? Isn't this a simplified version of mobile QQ?"

Qi Mengmeng frowned and made a professional judgment, "No, they are different in many ways."

Later everyone found that it was indeed different. Perhaps the impression of QQ was deeply rooted, and they still thought that this was a minimalist version of QQ.

"If the current mobile QQ is a large and comprehensive software, then what we need to do is to keep only the core mobile communication applications, friends, chat, that's it!"

Chen Mo then began to talk about the initial version of WeChat's requirements document, including the specific functions of intercom chat, mobile phone voice chat, voice text messaging, and the friend module.

After 1 hour, all the requirements were explained and communicated.

"Brother Chao is the person in charge of this project. When the subsequent technical plan and schedule are released, please confirm with me. For the rest, just follow the project process."

Li Jianchao nodded, "Is there a Deadline?"

"No, according to my understanding of everyone, these functions can be developed in about a month, including testing, at most one and a half months. Of course, the specific schedule will be determined after it is released!"

Fan Dian asked, "Is this considered closed development?"

"Okay, you guys move here after the meeting, but the intensity shouldn't be as high as before, so you guys should also follow a normal pace for the time being."

Zhang Chao asked, "But we are all developers, not testers?"

"When WeChat proposes testing, I will arrange for test intervention. Now the fewer people who know about this, the better. Confidentiality is the top priority." "WeChat? Is that the name of this application?" Qi Mengmeng discovered the highlight.

“Oh, I forgot to mention, this app is called WeChat! And you must be proud to be the developer of WeChat, I promise!
I would also like to emphasize that the five of you are prohibited from using QQ, especially any information related to WeChat, during your work here. "

Seeing that the boss was rarely serious, everyone present expressed that they would strictly abide by the rules.

"Well, everything else is fine, Brother Chao, I will give you the key to the conference room when the time comes."

"Okay, trust me!" Li Jianchao promised. This was his first project after joining Xiaomi and there was no room for error!

Everyone came out and started packing up.

After everything was packed up, Chen Mo gave Qi Mengmeng a task alone, which was to design the WeChat entry screen. The famous image in his mind that he described,
“It’s like a person standing on an unknown land, with the huge blue earth above him.”

"So where does he stand? Mars? Saturn? The Moon?"

"It could be the moon or somewhere else, it doesn't matter."

"There's no air in space, and the temperature difference is so big, will that person die?"

"Don't worry about logic. It's not important. You need to highlight the loneliness and insignificance of this person, and make people want to communicate with him."

".What does that person look like?"

"The stickman knows, right? That's what I mean,"

"You only see the Earth? What about other stars?"

"Why do you have so many questions? Make a draft for me first."

Problem child Qi Mengmeng was very efficient. She designed it on the spot in the room and handed in the homework one hour later.

After reading it, Chen Mo gave a thumbs up, which was roughly what he meant. He then raised some questions about proportions and details to improve it, and the final rendering was produced.

After finishing the WeChat storefront, Chen Mo started to work on the WeChat project team’s storefront. He made a nameplate with “X-Project” written on it and hung it in the small conference room.

A white board was put up next to the door of the conference room with the words "R&D restricted area, trespassers will be killed!" written on it.

Afterwards, a meeting was held with the three departments to explain the situation and instruct the five people who participated in the secret R&D project to hand over the MIOS work in their hands. Fortunately, there were many new employees recently, and there would not be a situation where one person had to do the work of two people due to the transfer of new projects.

Many people at the meeting were curious and asked the boss what project they were working on. Chen Mo replied,
"Don't ask too much about social matters. You will know when the time comes."

At night, one of the buildings in Huaqing Jiayuan seems somewhat out of place compared to the other brightly lit buildings.

Except for one room in the middle of the building which had lights on, the rest of the building was dark.

"Jin Zi, why do I feel that the WeChat you mentioned today is unreliable?"

"Why is it unreliable?"

"Once WeChat is launched, if it develops well, we may be copied by others. What will we do then?"

Chen Mo spent a lot of time explaining to Lei Jun, but now he was too lazy to explain it again to this guy, so he just pulled out his trump card, "Why bother with so much? Just do it."

"Oh!"

Then Chen Mo frowned as he heard the magic attack of "The Most Dazzling National Style" coming from the square not far away.

Damn, here you go again. Do you really think we young people have no temper?
Chen Mo went straight to the balcony and opened all the windows!

"Come on, Sun Ze, prepare to activate the martial soul fusion technique, and prepare for the first level magic attack."

"Ah, here it comes again~" Sun Ziwei said with a bitter face.

Since the house was renovated, the two moved back and looked at the new home, which was completely changed and looked like an e-sports room. They felt a long-lost sense of freshness, as if they had arrived in a science fiction world.

The largest TV wall, the top-level audio equipment, the highest-end computer, and an ergonomic computer chair. The two chairs alone cost nearly 20,000 yuan. The area is a bit small, but it is just right for these two single men. It is simply their dream room.

After all, a million-dollar renovation fee is no joke.

Chen Mo installed a super luxurious karaoke equipment, but in the first week after moving in, in order to resist the magical sounds of the aunties dancing in the square, he used it once and never used it again because the aunties downstairs complained about the two of them for disturbing the neighbors.

However, what surprised Sun Ziwei was that there were no more complaints when the two of them sang karaoke together afterwards.

Later, he found out that Chen Mo had bought up everything in a rage, using a capitalist AOE attack, targeting anyone who complained and buying from them, just as an investment.
Thanks to the boss "Smile Facing the Wind" for the reward. The boss is generous~
