The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 299 You Don't Know Technology

Time entered February 2003, 2.

"It's finally here!" Seeing the news posted by some users in Guangdong Province on Facebook, Huang He sighed a long time.

In fact, Huang He is also trying to prevent this disaster, but Huang He doesn't have much impression of this incident. He only knows that the source of the incident happened in Guangdong, where it is, which city it is, and which person. Not impressed anymore.

In fact, Huang He has also made some efforts. Since December, when Facebook was just launched, Huang He has made relevant news on Facebook more eye-catching, trying to arouse more people's attention.

At the same time, in December, we used Facebook as a platform to carry out joint publicity activities with many relevant organizations.

Of course, the publicity is that it has entered the flu season since November, so it is recommended that citizens across the country wear more masks to prevent flu.At the same time, Huang He also arranged some means to report some abnormal cases to the higher authorities, so as not to delay the lower authorities.

There is only so much Huang He can do, and no matter how much he can do, there will be problems.

However, Huang He's efforts are also effective. Historically, on February 03, 2, the national expert group began to enter Guangdong Province.

And today, February 2st, Huang He saw the news of the expert group entering Guangdong in the media. With Huang He's efforts, he got the attention of the country 1 days in advance, so I believe it should be able to save a lot life.

But on this day, in addition to this unhappy news, there is actually another piece of good news, that is, according to the latest market and background data survey, the number of active Facebook users has exceeded 1 million. And the market share reached a staggering 200%.

Although the number of active users of Qzone is not clear, judging from the market share of only 22%, there should be only about 300 million active users.

This market research report was commissioned by Huang He to a third-party research company, so the data is still trustworthy.

Ever since, it took a month, after experiencing the popularity of the initial opening period, Facebook has completed the complete suppression of QZone.

In fact, this is a very understandable thing, because the experience of using Facebook is smoother and smoother, and at the same time, there are much more interesting content than Qzone. It is only natural that Facebook can gradually eat into the market.

Even if Qzone has announced that more than 300 celebrities have settled in and opened its own exclusive Qzone, this decline cannot be reversed.

Of course, Tengda still did not give up their resistance. For example, they updated QQ on a large scale two days ago, and upgraded QQ space on a large scale... In fact, it is an upgrade, which is basically copying Facebook and setting up a campus. The circle, also engaged in a quick display of the dynamic system or something.

Anyway, it is trying to get closer to Facebook's design, but these are still a step too late. Users have already voted with their feet and returned to Facebook, not to mention that Tengda is facing new problems at this time.

This new problem is not considered a new problem, but an old problem, which is a matter of the server.

Tenda's servers are running out again.

Facebook in history was created in 2004, not to say that no one could have thought of such an idea as Facebook before, but the network conditions at that time did not support the operation of Facebook.

Jiangnan was able to forcibly log on to Facebook because he had his own massive servers, and relied on the means of forcing krypton gold to give birth to Facebook one step ahead of time, but Tenda Group was completely swollen to pretend to be fat.

"Everyone, we also have a huge advantage, and that is the advantage of stars. The most famous stars in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and mainland China have opened exclusive spaces in our Qzone. We have monopolized all the star resources in China. As long as we If we increase the number of servers and improve our service quality and user experience, then we will definitely be able to use these resources and usher in the opportunity to fight back!" Facing the company's investors, Brother Xiaoma said hard.

On February 2st, this is actually a routine operation report of the company. It happens once every quarter, and the company's management team reports the company's operations in this quarter to the company's shareholders.

This can be understood as an exam, where investors inspect the company's operations for three months.

And obviously, this time Tengda handed over a very bad answer sheet.

Although the market research report provided by Tenda itself conceals it in every possible way, the naked data still tells all investors that Qzone has failed, with only 25% of the market share and 274 million active users left, indicating that Qzone has really failed. I can't keep people anymore.

The situation of QQ is even worse, the market share is only 41%, and there is only a 1% error tolerance rate from the control line that triggers the replacement of the team... This is almost no error tolerance rate.

In fact, if investors can see Jiangnan's market research report, they will find that Jiangnan has proudly declared that its OO has a 62% market share.

And now, Brother Xiao Ma actually asked investors to continue investing in the purchase of servers at this meeting. One can imagine how bad the expressions of investors are at this time.

"Mr. Ma, have you spent all of the 8 million yuan in less than two months?" an investor couldn't help asking.

"There's still some left!" Brother Xiao Ma said, "But not much, it can only maintain the normal operation of the company. As for how the money was spent, I have provided you with a detailed report. The traces can be checked. Among them, the purchase of HP servers was the most consumed, and the total cost was about 4 million yuan."

"In addition to this, there is about 2 million yuan, which is used to sign contracts with these more than 300 stars to settle in Qzone. Although I know it is inappropriate to say this, I swear with my conscience that every money is used Where it should be used, there is absolutely no waste or embezzlement!" Brother Xiaoma said frankly.

In fact, they have already read the report, and some of the investment institutions have conducted investigations to confirm that the money spent is not tricky, but this result makes them even more frightened.

In fact, spending money is not terrible. After all, investment institutions like them specialize in spending money, but the terrible thing is that spending money does not see results.

Because Brother Xiao Ma spent [-] million RMB, but he still can’t beat Facebook. Doesn’t this mean that even if they invest more money, QQ Zone will not be able to support it?
"Mr. Ma, although you swear here that there is nothing tricky, I don't think the money was spent so properly!" Fan Jie said suddenly.

"Mr. Fan, please tell me!" Brother Ma said.

"Okay, I won't talk about other minutiae expenses. These things won't be clear for a while. I'll just ask about the two most important expenses, which are the expenses of purchasing servers and inviting celebrities to settle in QZone!" Fan Jie said here, paused, and then said, "First of all, the one who bought the server is that 4 million bought a total of 40 servers from HP. This price is not right!"

"There is no problem with this price!" Xiao Ma said without hesitation, "These are HP's most cutting-edge commercial servers, and the uniform sales price in China is 980 million yuan a piece, and 20 of them are more expensive. Storage servers, each server can store 10 TB of data, and the price of each server is as high as 1 million yuan. The total price is actually more than 400 million yuan. Under our hard work, HP has given us a huge great deals!"

"These are all necessary to meet our data needs. Without these servers, Qzone will not be able to function normally, so these servers have not wasted a penny of funds. If you don't believe me, you can check the funds between us and HP China , you will know that what I said is true!" Brother Xiao Ma said.

"Hewlett-Packard is indeed right at this price, but why do you choose such an expensive server? Can't you buy some cheap servers?" Fan Jie said.

"But HP is already the cheapest server on the market, there is no server cheaper than HP!" Brother Xiao Ma was stunned for a moment.

"Really? But how did I hear that the price of domestic servers is much more affordable now?"

"Made in China?" Brother Xiao Ma was taken aback for another moment, and then he couldn't help showing a disdainful expression on his face.

"Mr. Fan, you are an investor, and you may not know much about our industry. Although there are server manufacturers in China, the prices are indeed cheap, but they are all very low-end servers, and the quality is not guaranteed at all. All kinds of accidents and bugs will appear at every turn. In our country, all large-scale Internet companies use and purchase HP servers, which are the most cost-effective choice!" Xiao Ma believes Seriously gave Fan Jie a science popularization.

"Oh, is that so?" There was a sneer on Fan Jie's face, "But this is completely different from the information I received. According to a friend of mine in the Internet industry, the quality and stability of domestic servers are actually It is very good. With the same computing efficiency, the price is only 1/10 of that of HP, especially for storage servers, with the same capacity, the price is only [-]/[-] of that of HP.”

"Why doesn't Tenda choose a domestic server with such high cost performance? If you buy a domestic server, I'm afraid you can buy your HP server for less than 1 million yuan. In this way, you will have [-] million yuan left in your hands." , so you don’t need to continue crying to us here, let us invest more money to buy servers for you!” Fan Jie said eccentrically.

"This is impossible. There is no company with such strength in China! It is said that there is, and that is just propaganda. It is a liar who deceives some ignorant people to buy their products. What they buy back is only a bunch of fake products. Or it might just be a second-hand refurbished foreign product!" Brother Xiao Ma suddenly felt tired, and it was really hard to talk about technology with someone like Fan Jie who didn't understand the gap in international technology.
