Chapter 887

ecause Ben.Clarkson In that article, Li Mu and YY caught fire again in China. This time, the general propaganda of the media was overwhelming, which not only further improved the popularity of Muye technology, but also helped Li Mu further confuse boss ma.

Li Mu is getting more and more famous. Boss Ma is envious, jealous and hateful in his heart. But on another level, he thinks it's not a bad thing.

The more popular YY is, the more important it is for Li Mu, and the more energy it has to do with Li Mu. If Muye technology directly generates a valuation of $10 billion in the U.S. capital market this time, it may not be a good thing for him. The more valuable Muye technology is, the less Li Mu naturally despises Taobao, and the more chance his letao will get up.

Up to now, boss Ma has completely put his heart in his stomach. He feels that he is launching a surprise attack on Li Mu in a very subtle and ingenious way. As a sneaker in the business field, he feels that he has no face to lose, and the only problem is how much he can win back.

After Li Mu finished washing and washing, he put on his clothes and went straight to Taobao. After su Yingxue's warning, he graded the importance and urgency of his current work.

Although YY is of great importance, due to various reasons, the urgency is not high. It is an important but not urgent task at present. Now Taobao's promotion is getting closer and closer, and there are big enemies waiting for the opportunity in the dark. This is absolutely an important and urgent task, which must be put in the first place and solved first.

In the afternoon of Taobao, Li Mu, bishop Lei and other teams further refined and optimized the promotion activities.

At 3pm, Li Mu left Taobao and drove to Muye technology, Ben.Clarkson MSN is actively imitating YY and wants to realize group chat function on MSN.

If MSN does launch group chat, Li Mu can't sue them for infringement either, because a product thinking is difficult to apply for patent and patent protection, and what can really apply for patent is generally the solution of product thinking.

That is to say, if MSN just copied the product thinking of group chat, it can't win a lawsuit with them in the United States. Unless the solution he used when developing group chat product touches his patent, it's not an infringement as long as he solves the technical problem in a different way.

Li Mu is very worried about Microsoft's practice, because once Microsoft wants to follow up and imitate in product development, his technical strength is so strong, and the speed of catching up will be very fast.

Now, there is a differentiated competition between YY and MSN of Microsoft. MSN now mainly serves ordinary users and solves their social needs; YY now mainly serves elite users and solves their office and business needs.

At present, I secretly arranged paradise town in order to steal the users of MSN, and Microsoft obviously wants to steal its elite users by imitating its product functions.

In this case, we have to continue to strengthen YY's support for the office business needs of elite users, and develop more business functions to stabilize our unexpected elite users. Isn't Lao Mei saying that she's bullish? Isn't it that YY products are powerful? OK, then I'll push you a little bit harder. I'll push you to take more clothes and throw you all into the ground.

In the meeting room of Muye technology, Li Mu gave the core team, as well as the leaders of the development team, a detailed description of his more advanced product planning.

Among them, Li Mu thinks that the core product is the online preview function.

When Li Mu wrote "online preview" on the whiteboard, no one understood what Li Mu wanted to say.

Or, what is online preview?

As we all know, the preview function uses all kinds of document editing software. Before printing, you need to make a print preview. In fact, you need to browse in advance. What's the relationship between this and online offline? As long as it's on the computer, can't it preview offline?

When Li Mu saw that everyone was puzzled, he asked them with a smile, "you guys, what is the most important tool in your work?"

The answers are different.

Some say it's YY, some say it's software development, some say it's email, which has a lot to do with the different types of work.

Li Mu asked at this time: "if any colleague thinks that the email is the most important work tool, please raise your hand."

Of the 20, about six or seven raised their hands, accounting for a third.

Li Mu asked again, "if you think the email can rank in the top two, please raise your hand. If you think the email is the most important part, please raise your hand again."

Of the twenty, twelve or three raised their hands, half of them.

Li Mu asked again, "if you think the email can be ranked in the top three in importance, please raise your hand. The colleagues who raised their hands the first two times would like to raise them again."

This time, almost everyone raised their hands.Although the one-to-one and one to many communication of YY are very convenient, it still can't replace the importance of email in work.

Although the work content presented in the form of e-mail is a little tedious in the presentation process, it is more formal, more organized, and easier to store and retrieve, so until 2016, the enterprise mailbox is also a very important work tool.

The importance of mailbox in work can be divided into internal and external dimensions.

In internal work, it can be used to issue notices, work tasks, work reports, various applications, project progress, etc. a leader's e-mail can be sent to all employees, and an employee's e-mail can also be copied to multiple leaders and colleagues. Each employee will send and receive a certain number of work e-mails every day, some even dozens of e-mails a day;

in the external work, the mailbox is also very important. Although the offline transmission of YY is powerful, it still has a process to add friends after all. Unlike the mailbox, as long as there is the email address of the other party, you can directly exchange letters with the other party, so in the formal work for foreign businessmen, the role of the mailbox is also indispensable.

After everyone realized the importance of email, Li Mu said to them, "what's the type of attachment most in your daily email communication?"

Some say it's word, some say it's excel, some say it's PDF, PPT, TXT, rar or something.

However, most of them are word, Excel, PPT and PDF.

These four types of files are the most frequently encountered file types at work, so it's also natural that they are most frequently found in email attachments.

So Li Mu wrote all four on the whiteboard and said to the people, "OK, now let's take a look at these four kinds of documents. Do you think it's a very troublesome thing to check the attachments in your frequent work emails?"

Everyone looked at each other, and some people subconsciously said, "I don't think so." "It's OK."

fucking great shook his head. Indeed, the people in 2002 make complaints about products so easy to satisfy. Instead, they are like a spoiled child. All kinds of products in this year are unable to help him in design and function. Even though others feel very hungry, he still feels much worse. It's the reason of rebirth. The Internet products in 2016 are so much ahead of the present.

So Li Mulian said to them, "for example, someone sent a file to your mailbox, which is a word document with only tens of kilobytes. How can you view it?"

A girl subconsciously said, "download the attachment, and then open it."

Li Mu nodded and smiled: "you see, from the moment you click to open this email, what you need to do is: click the attachment download, pop up the download box, select the storage path, click Save; if you choose to download to the desktop, then you need to switch to the desktop, double-click to open; if you choose to download to a folder, then you need to open the root of the download folder again Table of contents. "

Everyone nodded. It's such a process, but everyone seems to have been used to it for a long time. No one feels that there is any trouble.

Li Mu said at this time, "what if we have an attachment's [online preview] function? From the moment you click to open this email, you don't need to click to download it. There is a preview button next to it. You just need to click preview and a new page will pop up immediately. The content in the attachment will be shown to you in the new page. After that, many steps will be saved, which not only saves your operation cost, but also saves your time Let's think about it. Isn't that great? "

Everyone frowned and thought, Fang Xudong was the first one to return to his mind, and he was surprised to say: "Mr. Li, this function can solve a lot of problems. In fact, most of these types of attachments don't need to be downloaded and saved in our work. As long as we read them, they can be saved in our mailbox at ordinary times. Even if we want to forward them to other colleagues, we can also directly send them by email It doesn't need to be downloaded locally at all. "

Li Mu smiled: "that's what it means. Think about how much time and energy can you save if these files can be previewed online directly? Compared with the time and energy saved, I think the more important thing is the pleasure of getting everything done with one click. "

Others also want to understand that they agree with Li Mu's statement.

There is such a [online preview] function, and the experience will be much better. However, when the problem comes, how can it be realized?

Fang Xudong didn't understand for a moment. He asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, what technical means should we use to realize the function of previewing such a variety of documents online? Each type needs to be opened by different software. How to preview it all in the page? "

Li Mu smiled: "Lao Fang, you are a technology giant, but the product aspect also needs to keep up with the rhythm!"

Fang Xudong has a red face.

It is true that his product thinking is general, and his driving force is executive power. Li Mu tells him what products and functions he wants to achieve, and after he realizes it, he will use technical means to achieve it. But let him like Li Mu, to set the soul for a product, he still has a lot of deficiencies. Finally, the product and technology may overlap in the superficial stage, and go deeper and deeper, The more divergent the route.Li Mu said with a smile at this time: "let me give you an analogy. If we completely abandon the Internet, if you want to send a book to your friend for reading, you have to find a way to send the book to him; if you want him to enjoy a picture or a picture, you have to find a way to bring the picture or the picture to his eyes; if you want to invite a friend to see a performance or a play , then you have to send tickets or CDs for the performance to them All delivery media for these needs are specific, either books, paintings, photos or CDs. "

Seeing that all the people were staring at themselves with great courage, Li Mu smiled a little and said, "if! If someone provides you with a solution for image transmission at this time, can you use the technology of image transmission to solve the above four requirements? "

Fang Xudong was awakened in a flash and took off his mouth and said, "Mr. Li, I understand!"

Li Mu asked with great interest, "got it? Let's hear that. "

Fang Xudong said: "you mean that although the media to be transmitted are different, they can find a unified presentation method, because what we want to deliver to each other is not the book paper itself, nor the pictures, nor the CD-ROM itself, but the content contained in them!"

"According to your metaphor, we can turn a paper book into an electronic picture, and then transmit it to the other party. He can see the whole book as well; a picture, a picture, a performance, not to mention, all of them can be converted into image files, which can be perfectly solved directly through image transmission."

Li Mu nodded approvingly and asked him, "so what?"

Fang Xudong said with a smile: "so we need to develop a function that can transform all these types of files into HTML page documents in our server. In this way, once the user enables preview for a certain type of document, our server will directly transfer the HTML page document to him, so that he can preview directly in the page , whether it's a word document, an excel form, a PDF or a PPT, the content can be presented through page technology! "

Li Mu clapped his hands and said, "that's great! This is the online preview function I want! We don't care what type of file users want to preview. As long as it is suitable for rendering with page technology, we will convert it into page documents for them, so that they can preview online without downloading. "

Li Mu said: "if you think about a 30KB word document, the size of the HTML page document will be about 30KB. Instead of letting users download 30KB from the server, and then store, search and open it, let users download 30KB page document directly from the server, so as to save other troubles and let them browse the content of the document directly on the page 。”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and ecstatic, and thought to himself: no wonder American technology media said that he is the top ten product manager in the world. With his thinking mode, the top three in the world are not afraid to let him go, right?
