Chapter 208 Simplified Version 1.0
Su Yehao had always hoped for a relaxed and pleasant office atmosphere, shaping a positive and progressive corporate culture like those described in self-help books.
This idea hasn't changed even now.
The problem stemmed from the outsourced project. Although the company's employees lacked experience and weren't the most outstanding genius programmers, they generally worked conscientiously.
Just as the bespectacled A Qiang thought the young boss was about to get angry, Su Yehao simply clapped his hands to attract attention and asked:
"I heard a few days ago that there were problems with the outsourcing. Do you have a solution now? What specifically is the issue, and how much does it affect the complete version of tAt?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence.
For the past few days, these people, instructed by John Zhou, had been busy cleaning up after the Indian outsourcing team and making urgent rectifications.
Mainly because that team was recommended to Su Yehao by the product director, John Zhou. Now that problems had arisen, John Zhou's first thought was to cover them up and keep them a secret.
As long as the problem was solved in time, it could be treated as if it never happened.
At this moment.
Seeing that no one answered, Su Yehao looked at a rough-looking man in his thirties with a square face and said, "Miles?"
This Miles Wang immediately said:
"The work produced by the Indian outsourcing team is not up to expectations, but some of it can be used. They are mainly responsible for the personal space aspect, and it will probably take another week to complete."
"Before, boss, you kept adding features, from personal profile pages to personal spaces and tAt shows. In fact, the simplified version can be initially put into testing. I'm confident it can support 50,000 people online simultaneously. It's far from your target of 500,000, but mainly there aren't that many users to test with."
"I think it's better to spend three days pushing out the simplified version first, and then continuously improve the features..."
Miles had worked in the United States for four or five years. Later, because of a long-distance relationship, he wanted to return to marry his girlfriend, so he jumped ship to tAt and agreed to work for Su Yehao.
Instant messaging programs were still a novelty, and there weren't many open-source resources to borrow from. These employees had been exploring and moving forward, so efficiency was inevitably slow.
And Su Yehao, since learning some time ago that there were few internet users in the mainland and he hadn't found any competitors, thought it was better to sharpen his axe before chopping wood. He added several important features to the original product, such as a personal profile that could be displayed by clicking on the avatar, and a personal space where users could post personalized signatures and photos.
The requirements for product hardware and software were also relatively high, trying to make it a hit as soon as it was launched, meeting users' needs, and completely gaining a foothold in the mainland.
The story of "if one gas station becomes popular, there will be gas stations on the left, right, front, and back" is quite applicable in the internet field, especially in the mainland.
Su Yehao believed that he was also a bit famous and couldn't develop as low-key as Pony Ma.
So, in his opinion, either don't do it, or once a product is launched, it must first have core advantages that others can't match.
It should be known that since receiving more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in financing from Yinhai, dozens of mainland internet startup teams have contacted his koko venture capital.
Don't look at how small the market is, but more and more smart people are clearly realizing the value of this new market.
This is the reason why the development plan has been revised again and again, and the requirements for the tAt chat program have continued to increase.
Su Yehao has a knack for investing, but lacks personal entrepreneurial experience. For a long time, he has been constantly checking for gaps and always feels that he is not doing enough.
In reality, however, he is clearly running ahead. At least in the mainland market, turning around and looking back, he can't find any competitors for the time being. He is purely forcing himself to improve.
After all, it is a blank market, so there is no need to rush things.
After listening to Miles' words, Su Yehao's "anxiety about insufficient firepower" reappeared. However, after a brief thought, he nodded and said:
"You guys get the sample for me to take a look at first. I want to know what can be done at present. Everyone continue to work hard. When the product is officially launched, I'll borrow my dad's yacht and throw a party for everyone to celebrate..."
————————
Originally thought it would take a few days to prepare.
Unexpectedly, more than an hour later, just as Su Yehao happily decided to accompany the little girl to a lecture, Miles knocked on the door and walked in, holding a laptop.
Miles told him, "This is the 1.0 beta version, without personal space and personal show features, but users can write personal profiles, including height, gender, age, etc. Changing avatars can only use a specific size, 200x200 pixels. We will also develop a matching adaptive module later."
"Oh, why didn't you bring these out earlier? One-on-one, group chats, these have been integrated?" Su Yehao quickly cleaned up the table, leaving space to place the laptop.

After sending friend requests to six people, two quickly agreed.
Trying to use the one-on-one chat function, Su Yehao was surprised to find that it had emoticons, the first one being "tAt."
After thinking about something, Su Yehao suggested, "Go to the mainland first and apply for patents for all these emoticons, to avoid something like tvt, tot, twt appearing in the future, which would mislead users into thinking it's our company."
The employees outside knew that the deputy director had taken the product to the boss for testing.
Especially those who received friend requests, were now facing a formidable enemy, sitting nervously in front of their computers.
Some people took the opportunity to flatter him, sending Su Yehao messages: "Wishing you peace, happiness, and good luck in everything, boss!"
Seeing this scene, the person next to him sneered, calling them a flatterer, but his fingers were honestly typing—The journey of life is bright because of you, boss, and the journey of life is no longer confusing because of you, boss. Thank you for your careful cultivation of Zhao Zian. Wishing you happiness every day and eternal health!
Instantly.
Many people sat back at their workstations and began to actively add test accounts... internal roll began.
Due to the fact that it is a new company, many project teams have been recently established, and there are many opportunities for rapid promotion and salary increases, and no one wants to miss the opportunity.
On Su Yehao's side, application messages came one after another.
Trying to reply to a few messages, he found that it was quite easy to use. The problem was that only one window could be opened at a time. This part of the optimization was also being handled by the Indian outsourcing team, and it was temporarily delayed.
It was a little troublesome, but it didn't affect use.
Su Yehao thought seriously and asked Miles to continue to improve it, striving to release the beta version tomorrow and test the waters in advance...
