The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 72 The Best Way
[PS: Sorry, the number of users about QQ before was based on the data in February 2001. At that time, the number of registered users was 2 million.However, according to the latest data found, in early 2000, QQ had more than 2002 million registered users and 2000 million active users.

Now the time point of the novel is September 2001, so take a middle number, the number of registered people is 9 million, and the number of active users is 5000 million.

This data shall prevail in the future. 】

"Manager Zhang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. You said that OO already has 120 million active users. Do you have any evidence for that?" Li Dan immediately asked, "After all, according to our background data, We just lost so many users! Are your conclusions supported by data?".

"I also look at the data in the background, but I don't look at the new increments, I look at the average online time of users!" Zhang Zhidong sighed and said, "After receiving the meeting news, I went to the background to check more, More detailed data, I found that in June, the average daily online time of our active users was 6 hours, in July, this data became 3.23 hours, and in August, it was only 3.05 hours on average. long time."

"It's just that users have less time to go online. What does this have to do with OO users?"

"Of course it does, you forgot that July and August are not ordinary time points, but the national summer vacation days, and among our users, high school students, junior high school students, and even elementary school students, the combined proportions It exceeds 70%, so it stands to reason that their average online time in July and August should be able to have a big increase."

"However, the average online time in July and August has not increased but decreased, but the number of active users has not decreased too much, what does this mean? It means that we have a lot of users who are using QQ, And in the state of using OO at the same time, as a result, the online time of QQ will decrease, but the number of active users does not seem to decrease!" Zhang Zhidong said.

"..." Li Dan stopped talking, because he found that he couldn't refute Zhang Zhidong, everyone was not a fool, and it was meaningless to forcibly defend himself.

"In fact, there is a more obvious data, that is, the amount of messages sent by chat. In June, the amount of messages we received and sent in a month was 8 billion, and in July, it dropped to 1058 billion. But this is just the beginning. In August, the decline was even more exaggerated. There were only 7 billion messages left, a decrease of 9124 billion messages. According to this data, I am afraid that 7% of our users are no longer there. Instead of chatting on QQ, I went to chat on OO, so I gave the data of 1745 million people.”

"But this is only a conservative estimate, because there are still new people who have never used instant chat software. The actual number of OO activities can only be more than we imagined!" Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, and the scene became even more silent.

"I very much agree with Zhidong's opinion. The great man said it well. Strategically, we must despise our opponents, and tactically, we must pay attention to our opponents. There is no doubt that OO has become our opponent, and it is an opportunity that may affect our market position. The challenger, we need to take corresponding measures to him now, which is why we gather here for the meeting today, let’s talk about it, how can we deal with the challenge of OO, especially how to solve the OO drift bottle The problem.

Brother Xiao Ma directly transferred the meeting to the most practical problem, and it is also the most urgent problem that needs to be solved at present, that is, what to do with the OO drift bottle.

"I think we can do something to get our customers back!"

"This effort is not enough. I think we still need to do more publicity. In fact, we have rarely advertised on TV media, resulting in a small number of users over the age of 25. We should make further efforts in publicity. , to gain more market is right!"

"I'm still because we can investigate the source of OO's funds. If there is a problem with their funds, then the entire OO will fall directly, and we don't need our efforts at all!"

"Actually, isn't it good for us to buy OO directly? In addition, the R&D team of OO must be very scarce. It is better that we directly dig their development team and directly abolish their R&D capabilities."

Everyone contributed their opinions one after another, and the discussions were very hot, but there was never a smile on Brother Ma's face. It seemed that none of these opinions and suggestions were liked by our brother Ma.

"Zhidong, what are your thoughts?" Brother Xiao Ma asked Zhang Zhidong, who didn't speak after that.

"I think that our QQ must have a big innovation in version and function, such as UI. Compared with OO, our UI color matching has fallen behind significantly!"

"At the same time, QQ should also enhance the experience of chatting. For example, we can add a picture function, so that pictures can also be sent while chatting, and if there are some small files, then I think our QQ can fundamentally give OO to Crushing and crushing!" Zhang Zhidong said.

"Let QQ send pictures and documents? Zhidong, you are too impractical!" Li Dan couldn't help saying when he heard it.

"What's unrealistic about this, there is no technical problem, I have already researched it myself, give me a month, and I can give you the bat version!" Zhang Zhidong retorted.

"No, I'm not talking about technology, I'm talking about cost!" Li Dan spread his hands together, "Zhidong, do you know how much our company spends on internet fees a month? Let me tell you, it's 500 million. , we need to pay 500 million yuan in network fees every month to be able to meet the network needs of our server room!"

"Once you have the function of sending files and pictures, yes, users will really like it very much. They will definitely use these functions every day and send 99+ pictures and files every day, and then our network fee will probably be more than 500 million. Well, 5000 million is not necessarily enough!" Li Dan said.

"..." Zhang Zhidong has nothing to say. He really cannot avoid the issue of cost. These functions are indeed based on Tenda's huge network cost.

"These functions mentioned by Zhidong are very important, and I also agree with you. Zhidong, your BAT version can even be developed now, but not now, the company's cash flow is still relatively tight, until you find a specific source of profit. , we can only rely on financial investment, so these functions still need to be slowed down, Zhidong, you can understand my difficulty!" Brother Xiao Ma looked at Zhang Zhidong apologetically, Zhang Zhidong was suddenly moved, and then nodded again and again, saying to wait. Waiting is no problem.

"So, can we come up with a more reliable way to meet our opponents?" Brother Ma asked the audience again.

"In fact, the quickest and most effective way is very simple, that is, we also develop a function similar to the OO drift bottle. After all, these current users of OO are almost all for the OO drift bottle. If we also have our own drift bottle. If you do, these users who have temporarily left us will all come back!
"But in this way, no one will scold us for plagiarism. Now many media and users are accusing us of plagiarizing OICQ on various channels. I worry that we Tengda will continue to be blamed for plagiarism in the future, and we can't get rid of it. And my little brother, maybe I will be scolded for plagiarism all the time, this is terrible, how can I do such a thing!" Xiaoma sighed and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, boss, in fact, even a fool can see that OO is plagiarizing our QQ in terms of name and icon. They are plagiarizing us. No one will say we plagiarized!" Cai Xin said immediately.

"It's the boss, this is not what you said you want to copy, it was decided by us at a meeting, what does it have to do with you?" Li Dan also said, "If you want to plagiarize, OO first plagiarizes, we just follow the example, OO is the The real copycats! We are innocent."

"Hey, why are you forcing me? You are hurting me!!" Brother Xiao Ma sighed in the sky, and then instructed Zhang Zhidong to put everything at hand and use the fastest speed to QQ himself. The rafting bottle to the whole out.
