Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

"Because our YY has not been launched yet, they don't know how to evaluate it. However, I said that a guild-exclusive instant messaging software will be launched on the first day of the new year, and they are very interested."

"Hahaha, brother Jian, what you said is quite tempting."

Chen Yu laughed.

Instant messaging exclusively for guilds.

These words made Chen Yu a little excited.

This is simply tailor-made for them, even if YY is a shit, they will try it.

"In addition, I asked them to greet the owner of the Internet cafe at that time and ask the owner of the Internet cafe to download YY in advance."

Zhang Jianming added.

"Brother Jian, just for this sentence, I will give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."

Chen Yu gave Zhang Jianming a thumbs up.

Yes.

In 2001, there were not many people with personal computers compared to later generations.

Everyone is surfing the Internet in Internet cafes.

Since surfing the Internet in an Internet cafe, the owner of the Internet cafe must download all kinds of software in advance.

Of course, if your software is very popular, all Internet cafe owners will download it without your prompting.

But your software has just been launched, who knows about your software?

If there is no download at that time, even if some users want to play YY, they don't know how to play it.

Don't think that those users who go online know how to download online.

In this era, everyone is a computer novice. Downloading software is an advanced operation, which is not something ordinary people know.

What, you still don't believe it?

It broke out some time ago that a girl asked the owner of an Internet cafe to download hundreds of QQ coins for him.

Zhang Jianming was able to consider this factor in advance, I have to say, it is really not easy.

……

New Year's Eve.

More than 100 people from Huanyu Technology gathered together and set up more than a dozen tables in the company cafeteria.

Moreover, 10 red envelopes are placed on each table, which can be regarded as the company's kindness to employees.

In the cold winter season, the temperature is a little low.

Chen Yu was in the front line, so he sent an apron and served the stewed pork rib soup for everyone.

The soup is rich in flavor and sprinkled with chopped green onion. More than 100 employees chatted freely while drinking the hot soup.

"Mr. Chen is really kind. He gave us 5 times the salary at the end of the year, and even served us soup himself."

"There are also red envelopes."

"Yes, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, Mr. Chen's family hasn't gone back so recently."

"So, Mr. Chen is not something we can compare with."

"I don't want to compare, I can have one tenth of Mr. Chen, no, one percent is enough."

"Come on, have a drink. Tomorrow's battle, we will fight hard."

Cheers everyone.

Seeing Chen Yu constantly busy, everyone just felt heartwarming.

Not to mention drinking such a sip of hot soup, I feel my whole body boiling, and my whole body is indescribably energetic.

At 0 o'clock in the evening, everyone did not fall asleep.

Chen Yu held fireworks and firecrackers, and said to everyone: "Come on, let's go outside and light firecrackers together."

Bang bang bang... The sound of firecrackers kept coming.

2001 years have passed.

In 2002, a new year came.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year……"

2002, a new year, a new journey.

Chapter 133: The gossip of the bosses (please subscribe)

2002 New Year's Day.

Chen Yu and the company's employees got up early, and they had already started work before it was time to go to work.

"Mr. Chen is early."

"morning."

"did you have breakfast?"

"No, I'm eating."

"Slow down, it's okay, I still have more than half an hour to go to work."

Chen Yu greeted everyone and entered the office.

Then they called Zhang Jianming, Li Nan, Xie Zhang, and Wang Chang over.

"Well, how are you getting ready?"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, everything is going according to the original plan, and it will be officially launched at 12 o'clock."

"How is the download going now?"

"I have already greeted the major guilds before, and there are currently more than 10 downloads."

For the convenience of netizens, YY has launched the market a few days ago for netizens to download.

However, the official operation is officially launched on the first day of the new year, that is, after 12 o'clock.

"10 million times."

This number is a little low.

However, Chen Yu didn't show anything.

If you only look at the number of downloads, more than 10 times is really low.

But if more than 10 times are Internet cafe users, it is not too low.

But that can't be confirmed yet.

In 2002, there were about 10 Internet cafes in China. Although many guilds cooperated with the company, it was impossible for any Internet cafe to say hello and download YY.Among them, many are individual users.

Chen Yu, an individual user, didn't pay much attention to it.

What he values ​​most now is the Internet cafe.

Although there are only about 10 Internet cafes in the country, if each Internet cafe provides 100 computers, he can directly let 1000 million Internet users access the Internet.This is just the first batch, because everyone knows that a computer cannot be used by only one user.After this user uses it, there will be other users.

It can be said that a computer can bring up to 24 users within 10 hours.

On average, there are about 4.

Calculated in this way, the number of netizens surfing the Internet through Internet cafes will reach 4000 million, which is almost the number of domestic netizens.

Of course, this is calculated on the basis of 100 computers in each Internet cafe. In fact, many township Internet cafes do not have 100 computers at this time, most of them only have about 50 computers, and some even have more than 20 computers.But no matter what, even with an average of 50 or so, the number of Internet users that Internet cafes can cover can reach 2000 million.

It is almost equivalent to half of the current number of domestic Internet users, or even more.

In other words, if you master Internet cafes, you basically master the vast majority of domestic users.

It's just that Chen Yu has not established big data for the time being, and he still has no way of knowing how many of the 10 downloads are Internet cafe users and how many are individual users.

"Why, everyone is unhappy."

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Chen Yu smiled and said.

"Mr. Chen, it's my fault. I only focused on contacting the major guilds instead of cooperating with the major websites."

Zhang Jianming took the responsibility first.

Chen Yu shook his head: "Our YY has not officially launched the service, you have admitted your mistake, it is too early. Besides, holding on to the guild is also our main promotion method. Although it is effective to cooperate with other websites, it is actually not very effective. Even if It’s advertising on portal websites, but it’s actually useless.”

"The explosion of instant messaging does not rely on superb traffic, but on the mutual influence between people. This is one of the important reasons why UC failed before."

Having said that, we have to talk about Internet cafes.

In fact, in the early stage of domestic Internet development, everything was inseparable from Internet cafes.

Online games are.

So is instant messaging.

Because everyone saw many people playing games in the Internet cafe, they also followed suit.

Everyone also saw other people using QQ in Internet cafes, so they followed suit.

If there is no demonstration effect played by the Internet cafe, even if there is a lot of traffic all at once, everyone will feel a little stand-alone.

Who knows whether the person facing the computer is a human or a dog?

"Tell everyone a story."

Seeing that everyone is still serious, Chen Yu said: "Do you know what QQ was like when it was first launched?"

"By the way, the QQ back then was not called QQ, it was called OICQ."

In 2000, because OICQ was too similar to ICQ in the United States, it was sued for infringement by ICQ, and later changed its name to QQ.

"Well, looking at you, you don't know it at first sight."

Chen Yu spread his hands helplessly: "Then I'll just say it directly. When QQ was launched back then, it was really miserable. Penguin had no money, and QQ didn't have much traffic. Ma Huateng and the others only made this program. I'm entertaining myself. It's just for self-entertainment, and it's a headache if no one comes to play. Since it's instant messaging, what kind of communication is instant messaging that no one uses."

"Later, Ma Huateng found out that women seem to be very popular on the Internet. Yes, didn't we use this trick before? Ma Huateng said to everyone in the company, everyone registers 3, no, register 10 women QQ number. Each person must add 100 male friends to chat."

"Thus, relying on the operation of the ladyboy, QQ immediately attracted the first batch of members."

As soon as the story was finished, Zhang Jianming, Li Nan, Wang Chang...they all burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, hahaha."

"Shemale operation, true or false?"

"It must be true, we have also used it."

"We have used it, but we are real beauties, what kind of shemale."

"However, Mr. Chen, where are you listening to gossip? It's too funny."

Such gossip is really ridiculous.

Everyone who was still serious before was relieved all of a sudden.

"This gossip has already spread."

"Let me tell you, don't focus on work when you have nothing to do. You should read more gossip in the circle, such as about Penguin Ma Huateng, Jinshan Qiubojun and Lei Jun, and Netease Dinglei... This is good for us."

"You guys, why am I so awesome? It's because I'm inquiring about their gossip every day."

It's a joke of course.

It's just a joke, but it's not absolute.

These gossips actually have some truth.

Sometimes for those entrepreneurs, it is really, really hard at first.

It's so difficult that you don't even know how such a company got to the scale it is now.

Just like Alibaba in later generations, Mr. Ma was really a master of bragging.
