Chapter 211 Physical Interference
After more than half a year of hard work, Zhang Xiaolong finally fell out of favor. With his arrogant personality, he would not stay in Tencent for long. This gave me an opportunity, an opportunity to recruit him.

He didn't mind following Liu Bei's example and visiting Zhuge Liang three times. With himself taking the lead, Zhang Xiaolong would be responsible for WeChat products, and Li Jianchao would be responsible for technology. This area could be handed over to the two of them with confidence.

Although WeChat seemed to have always been ahead of its competitors in the past, Weiliant, led by Zhang Xiaolong, was catching up closely behind, bringing him considerable pressure.

This is because Zhang Xiaolong can clearly see and understand his own development path on WeChat, so he follows it closely. If it were someone else, they might have gone astray after two or three versions, and now the grass on WeChat’s grave is three feet tall. Why would they still make so much effort?
Fortunately, Weichat finally changed its owner, Tang Daosheng? Chen Mo had the information given by Lei Jun before. He was in charge of QQ and QQ Space before, worked at Oracle before, and later went to Tencent. He is also a talent, but the effect of his becoming the head of Weichat is still questionable.

However, he estimates that no one in the world can understand mobile social products better than him and Zhang Xiaolong.

This proves that the good days of micro-chatting are numbered.
Guangzhou, Tencent Research Center.

The well-mannered and scholarly Tang Daosheng came here to become a firefighter. As an airborne person, shouldering the mission of reviving WeChat's glory, he has no patience and time to play the game of subtle and silent nourishment, all he has is to cut the Gordian knot.

Therefore, the first thing he did when he took office as the general manager of Guangyan Center was to have a frank conversation with the more than 200 employees of Guangyan Center.

".The boss and the senior management of the general office have noticed everyone's dedication and hard work during this period, and they generally recognize the achievements made by Weichat.

Achievements will be rewarded, and everyone will receive a 10% to 30% salary increase based on past performance. Next, the previous combat readiness will be lifted, and subsequent micro-chat will enter a normalized mode, which means a protracted war."

The salary increase plus no more overtime made everyone in the audience happy, but after hearing what Dowson said next, they realized that these benefits were not so easy to get.

"However, our research and development route needs to change. We have a treasure trove of micro-chat but don't realize it. We have such a huge treasure trove of QQ but don't dig into it. Instead, we learn from WeChat. This is simply missing the point.

In the future, Micro Chat will be fully integrated with the new Micro Q released by the mobile QQ team, and it will definitely surpass WeChat in all aspects!
I hope everyone will come together.”

At this time, a technician suddenly gave feedback, "This is inconsistent with the plan that Brother Long had previously decided on, and the voice and video chats are almost ready."

Looking at this "troublemaker", Tang Daosheng narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Brother Long? Are you talking about the one who's taking a long vacation?"

In fact, Zhang Xiaolong's request for a long vacation mentioned by Tang Daosheng was just to appease the outside world. In fact, on the second day after the appointment of the change of leadership of the Guangyan Center was issued, Zhang Xiaolong read his own proposal, raised objections, but was rejected by him. Then he submitted his resignation report and bid farewell to Tencent.

There is only one boss in Guangyan Center now, and that is Tang Daosheng!

"We are an IT company, not a gang. There is no such thing as this brother or that brother. People at the same level are addressed by name, and superiors are addressed by their positions! In addition, the HR specialist is in that room. You are fired now."

"I built WeChat Chat from scratch. You are illegally laying off employees!"

Tang Daosheng shook his finger, "Nonono, you are wrong. I admit that I laid off employees illegally. The company has prepared 2N compensation. It is useless for you to seek arbitration! Please, hero!"

Seeing this troublemaker being taken away, "Is there any other brave man who wants to join us? It's better to say it now, so as to avoid unpleasantness at work later!"

Then five or six more technicians left. Tang Daosheng took a closer look and found that they were probably Zhang Xiaolong's direct subordinates from the previous information.
Tang Daosheng opened the door wide and directly wielded the sword of layoffs, killing the remnants of Xiaolong one by one without any mercy.

Everyone saw several friends who once had a good relationship with them, completing the formalities and leaving on the spot. Frightened by the new leader's drastic measures, no one dared to move.

The reason why we dare not speak out is that we live in a shabby way.
The whole place was silent for a while. Afterwards, no one moved. Tang Daosheng was very satisfied with everyone's timely performance.

"I came here to take up the job this time, and I also brought 20 billion yuan of funds from the group to support the development of WeChat. I hope everyone will work hard together in the future. You have all seen my sincerity just now. As long as you follow me and work hard, the promotion and salary increase I mentioned are not empty words!"

After Tang Daosheng used the all-purpose carrot and stick method to control his subordinates, the change of leadership in the Guangyan Center was quickly completed.

He was able to get promoted to senior vice president at Tencent, so parachuting in was a piece of cake for him.

This time, in addition to funds, he also brought a small team of his own, and then Tang Daosheng promoted several of his own confidants.

Then, with Tang Daosheng's order, the new WeChat chat solution was implemented in a two-pronged approach of publicity and development.

Guangyan Center turned the steering wheel, changed direction, and rushed towards an unknown road.
No one knew about the personnel turmoil within the Guangyan Center. In the following days, advertising spaces in major supermarkets, subways, airports, bus stops, and other places in first- and second-tier cities across the country were occupied by WeChat.

Nowadays, whenever people go out, they know that there are some WeChat chats online that give out money, which is much more practical than supermarket promotions. Many grandpas and grandmas ask their children to help them with WeChat chats, but they are told that their phones are too old to support it.
On June 6, WeChat’s official website and Weibo simultaneously released reports that the number of users had reached 28 million and monthly active users had exceeded 2 million.

On June 6, Weilian followed closely behind, claiming that its users had reached 30 million and its monthly active users exceeded 2 million. Even the copywriting was exactly the same.

Affected by this, the installation volume and monthly active users of major software have dropped sharply, almost halved, forming a siphon effect, and all users have been absorbed by the leading WeChat and Wechat.

On the same day, WeChat V1.5.6 was released, and the third mini-game "Oh My God" was launched!
Chen Mo fired his third bullet!

However, there are still some complaints and tuts from netizens, that is, the second level of WeChat’s third mini-game “Oh My God” is too difficult.

"Oh my god, this name is so apt, this is so difficult"

"How difficult is it? Just don't use your hands~ I passed the first level in less than a minute, you are just too stupid.". Edited. "+1 to the above, it's so abnormal!"

"Very good, only when it is difficult can it be challenging. I used the money I earned from the event to buy a few props and finally got it done. It was like playing for nothing, and I passed the second level~~~The screenshots are as follows~"

"Is there anyone trying to pass the third level? There is no solution at all. I want to see which great god can pass the third level!" The netizen was in pain and happy at the same time. He was like a possessed person these past two days. The more levels he couldn't pass, the more he wanted to challenge his weak spots.

"Oh My God" is like a spring. The harder you compress it, the greater the sense of accomplishment the player will feel when he successfully passes the third level.

It felt like everyone was having a foot massage or bath and looking for a technician to have a simple conversation, but one day I suddenly found a Dilraba Dilmurat.
On one hand, there is the clustering effect created by cash incentives and popular social games.

On the other hand, although there are overwhelming advertisements and cash incentives, some people have found that WeChat chats have been stuck in recent days. The specific manifestation is that after the message is sent, it goes in circles and then fails and needs to be retried.

Although it does not affect normal use, it greatly affects the mood.

It's bearable once or twice, but in the past few days it happens several times every day.

At first people thought it was a problem with their own network, but as more and more netizens complained online, they found out that the WeChat chat software was faulty.

The Guangyan Center was in a state of chaos. The original plan was shelved and the new plan was being put on the agenda in full swing, but then they ran into this mysterious problem.

The problem manifested itself in sporadic downtime of the server cluster without any pattern or signs. At first, it was just an operation that discovered the problem while using WeChat.

However, the disaster recovery emergency plan was well prepared. When the server cluster in the main computer room went down, all traffic would be switched from the main computer room to the secondary computer room in a very short time, but there would be a response time of dozens of seconds in between.

It is these few tens of seconds that will bring some bad experience to users.

When the problem occurred, the operation department simply told the technical staff about the phenomenon. The technical staff checked again and again but could not come to a conclusion. Later, they found that the problem was normal and did not do anything about it.

Later, as the problem occurred repeatedly, the technical staff investigated for a long time without any conclusion, so they quickly reported it to higher authorities. By the time a large number of user feedback appeared online, two days had passed.

There were no program errors, no log anomalies, no fluctuations in load indicators, no problems with the server, and the occurrence of problems occurred without any signs or patterns.

All of the above problems made all the technicians in the Guangyan Center scratch their heads. They tried various solutions, but the problem remained. They had never encountered such a difficult problem before. They felt that the difficulty of this BUG was even higher than the third level of "Oh My God".

Tang Daosheng even offered a reward, saying that whoever could solve this problem would be promoted to a higher rank and receive one month's salary.

Afterwards, all technical personnel of the Guangyan Center participated in this BUG challenge.

You should know that WeChat now has hundreds of millions of users. Although the report shows that the server outage will affect about 0.1% of users, if the user base is magnified, then hundreds of thousands of users will be affected.
The instability of WeChat chat during this period has brought very bad effects.

Seeing the gap between the two sides widening, especially when increasing the dosage, it actually had the opposite effect.
This is something that Xiao Ma Ge cannot accept at all. In his dreams these past few days, he would wonder if he had made a mistake in letting Zhang Xiaolong go. Otherwise, why would such serious problems arise in WeChat just two days after he left?

He personally called Tang Daosheng and asked him whether he had a direct relationship with the layoffs of several technical staff, but the other party denied it.

Finally, Xiao Ma Ge even called Zhang Xiaolong himself and asked, "What are you doing?"

“Playing golf, I finally have time to relax.”

"The WeChat chat question"

"What happened to WeChat chat?"

“You don’t have internet access?”

"I have a rare quiet time in the villa every day. Out of sight, out of mind. Did something happen in WeChat chat?"

".Nothing, just said this casually. We can play basketball together if we have a chance in the future..Hang up"

"Have the opportunity"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ma Ge was even more confused. He knew Zhang Xiaolong. Although this person was a bit introverted and not very sociable in the workplace, one of his strengths was that he never lied.

If it's not him, then this question arises at this time. Is it really God's will to kill me?

Just when the Guangyan Center was about to be driven crazy by this problem, everyone inexplicably discovered that the WeChat chat problem, which they named "X-BUG", was actually fixed.

Nothing moved!

Is this good?

From the phenomenon, it seems like God played a little joke on WeChat.
Some of the atheist technicians at the Guangyan Center have begun to doubt their beliefs.

Is there really metaphysics in this world?
