Rebirth in a Perfect Era

Chapter 479: The empire collapsed

Views:

The current planning of the first phase of Line 10 has not been finalized for long. The east-west direction has been basically decided to avoid the North Third Ring Road and take Beitucheng Road. Therefore, the land prices on Beitucheng Road have already risen. Now, many real estate developers are keeping an eye on this area. Land is not only expensive, but also difficult to acquire.

With Chen Ze here, it is definitely no problem to get a piece of land along the east-west direction of Line 10, but the land price is there. Now if you go to get the land in the north, the price will be at least about 20% higher, and this section The area along the subway is outside the Third Ring Road, and the room for appreciation is not as high as that of the East Third Ring Road in the future. After all, Li Mu knows that the housing prices in the East Third Ring Road will be the most expensive along the Third Ring Road in the future.

So Li Mu said to the two of them: "If we really want to acquire land, I would prefer the East Third Ring Road. Even though the north-south route of Line 10 has not been decided yet, I think the East Third Ring Road has the greatest possibility."

Chen Ze smacked his lips and said, "I heard a voice saying that the direction of Line 10 seems to be unified. If the east-west direction is determined by the Third Ring Road, the north-south direction must also be determined by the Third Ring Road. If the east-west direction is determined outside the Third Ring Road, The same goes for the north-south direction. There should be no situation where one side goes along the Third Ring Road and the other side goes outside the Third Ring Road. Now the east-west direction has basically been set outside the North Third Ring Road. How likely is it to go along the East Third Ring Road? "

Li Mu smiled and said: "I think the possibility of the East Third Ring Road is at least 80%."

Chen Ze asked curiously: "Why are you so sure?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "I think the problem may be different from yours. What you think is that Line 10 should focus on the areas with the most densely populated areas and the most congested traffic. But I think that if Line 10 is to be put into operation before the Olympics, it must be More consideration will be given to economic development and the country’s business card.”

As he spoke, Li Mu explained in detail: "The national business card I am talking about does not mean that the subway is a national business card, but the special areas that the subway passes along the way represent the country's business card. Where will Dawang Road pass through? Besides A residential area is a residential area, but what about the East Third Ring Road? The East Third Ring Road is close to the embassy district, the agricultural exhibition, the CBD and other scattered eastern commercial districts, especially the CBD. Although the CBD has not yet been built, it will be ready by 2008 Have you ever thought about the scale of the CBD? The municipal construction cost approved by the government is as high as 12 billion. In the future, the CBD will definitely become a commercial landmark of Yanjing. If there is no supporting subway line, the CBD has no objection. The government will face Can it hold up?"

Song Liang frowned after hearing this. Chen Ze thought for a long time and said, "I understand what you mean. In other words, the government may pay more attention to the connection between Line 10 and the Olympics. The Olympics is to promote our country's prestige. Then The stations that Line 10 will pass must fit in with this theme.”

Li Mu nodded: "That's how I judged it."

Chen Ze nodded slightly: "It makes sense. After all, we are a century-old Olympics. The Olympics are held nationwide. The tone is still very high."

Li Mu said: "So my preference is the East Third Ring Road. I think there is no location with more development prospects than the East Third Ring Road right now."

Chen Ze asked Song Liang: "Brother Liang, what do you mean?"

Song Liang rubbed his temples with his fingers and said, "I think what Xiao Mu said is very reasonable. The national business card is very convincing."

Chen Ze no longer hesitated and said immediately: "OK, then we will set our target along the East Third Ring Road."

Li Mu took the map from Song Liang, used a red pen to draw a rough outline near Gongti, and said, "Focus on the area around Sanlitun. If you look at how popular Sugar Club is now, you know that it will definitely become a center of leisure and entertainment in the future. .”

Chen Ze nodded: "Okay, that's it. If there is suitable land, we will try our best to acquire it."

Li Mu unconsciously looked at the map again. There is no Wanda Plaza in Yanjing now. Li Mu looked at the location of Wanda Plaza in later generations. Now it is just a designated CBD area. The construction of Wanda Plaza will have to wait until at least 2003. However, the current CBD development share has been divided up until 2008. If you want to build commercial real estate, the pace must be accelerated as much as possible, because there are already several giant companies in the industry, and the road to catch up is arduous. Far.

After settling the affairs of CSC and Wanying Yanjing New Company in the future, Li Mu returned his mind to Makino Technology. He did not dare to slack off even if QQ died. Even if QQ died, he did not dare to slack off. , the current YY is far from mature enough, and it needs more supporting products to consolidate its dominant position.

The next new product functions that Li Mu hopes YY can implement are email and network disk. Email is an indispensable part of user ecological products. Almost every Internet company has its own free email service, and there will even be many companies in the future. It also provides corporate email services, so YY must also have its own email service.

In addition to email, Li Mu also hopes that YY's development team can develop a brand new product, namely network disk cloud storage.

In my previous life, Tengxun was also one of the earliest products involving cloud storage. In the earliest days, members of Tengxun QQ had free network hard drives of 64 or 128MB. Although this product has never been prominent, it is very important to the ecology of the entire product line. , it is still quite necessary.

Li Muren was in his office, but instead of organizing core employees to have a meeting in the conference room, he organized everyone to speak freely in the YY group.

Li Mu stated his two needs. After discussion, everyone agreed with both needs. Then the relevant person in charge of the technical department immediately stated that he had a clear understanding of Li Mu's needs and started product development as soon as possible.

In addition to these two small functions, Li Mu has a larger product development plan in mind, but he knows that no one in the current YY team can shoulder the burden of developing this new product. The planning of new products is a group effort. Voice and video calls.

YY itself can support ordinary voice and video calls very well, but if it is upgraded to group voice or video calls, the existing audio and video call protocols need to be upgraded, because it involves a whole set of streaming media related technologies, so the development The work is not easy, but if YY can implement group voice and video calls in 2002 or early 2003, there will be too many new products that YY can develop in the future.

If the relevant technologies can be connected, it will not only provide audio and video chat based on YY groups, but can also be used to open voice chat rooms, video chat rooms, and even directly throw out the concept of live video broadcast.

But the biggest problem right now is that there are no professional talents who are good at streaming media technology. Fang Xudong's strength lies in page technology, and it may be difficult to develop such a product himself.

Li Mu suddenly thought of Zhang Zhidong, Mr. Ma's most powerful technical general. If Teng Xun really broke up one day, he would have to find a way to lure him to Yanjing, if nothing else.

However, Li Mu doesn't know what kind of status Tengxun is currently in. To this day, most of QQ's users have been completely lost, but Li Mu is still the "loyal user" who logs in to QQ every day, as long as he is on If he uses a computer and the computer is connected to the Internet, he will definitely open QQ and YY at the same time.

It’s just that QQ is too bleak right now. Li Mu’s friends on QQ have stopped clicking their profile pictures and talking to each other, and no one else will add him as a friend on QQ. The reason why Li Mu still hangs on QQ, not for anything else, just to wait until one day to receive a system notification from Tengxun to all users, telling all users that they have given up.

In fact, during the days when the YY game lobby was launched and continued to be popular, Tengxun has been in a state of chaos internally. Mr. Ma has been considering whether to stop the development of the QQ game lobby since the YY game lobby was launched. Stop investing manpower and material resources in the QQ business line. After several days of consideration, as well as multiple internal meetings and capital meetings, Mr. Ma officially made up his mind to stop maintaining QQ from now on.

Stopping maintenance means that QQ will maintain its status quo forever from now on. It will not stop the service, nor will it be updated or maintained. If there is a problem, let it go. As long as it can still be used, give it a certain amount of server capacity. and bandwidth, so that it can continue to provide services. If it cannot be used, it will naturally withdraw from the stage of history. In short, Tengxun has completely given up on QQ.

In his heart, Mr. Ma originally wanted to persist, but Tencent’s core employees and even the capital side had completely given up any hope on QQ. At this time, Mr. Ma could only reluctantly make the decision to stop maintenance. At the same time, The QQ game that was halfway through development was also completely abandoned.

After QQ stopped maintaining, Tengxun began a round of layoffs. Most of the employees in QQ-related business lines were laid off, leaving only the core technical product backbone and operational personnel. These are the capital for a comeback in Mr. Ma's eyes.

Most QQ servers have also stopped serving. Currently, QQ's server bandwidth can only maintain a maximum of 200,000 people online at the same time, and this value is still very redundant, because the highest number of people online at the same time every day in QQ is currently less than 80,000. .

Just after Li Mu and the core employees of Makino Technology discussed YY's next round of new product planning in the YY group, the QQ image that had never changed in the lower right corner of the computer was suddenly replaced by a small speaker. Li Mu immediately used the hotkey to call out, Just saw the official notice sent by No. 10000.

To all users of QQ, Tengxun has officially decided to stop maintaining QQ from today and deeply apologizes for this decision.

Li Mu was one of the users who received the news immediately.

After reading this news, Li Mu paced back and forth in his office excitedly for several times. It has always been a dream in Li Mu's heart to kill QQ and replace it. Today, this dream finally came true.

He thought of the huge Internet empire in his previous life, which had fallen into his own hands in 2002. Li Mu's inner satisfaction could not be described in words. When one business empire collapsed, another business empire was destined to follow it. rise from the ruins.

It has been breaking out for so many days in a row, and I really can't bear it anymore. I have three updates today, and then I have to go to work again tomorrow. I sigh.
