The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 97

"No, if we do this, we'll be looking for a dead end!!" Brother Xiao Ma once again rejected Zeng Qing's suggestion without hesitation.

"Why?" Zeng Qing asked unconvinced.

"If we don't have OO as a competitor, then you want to charge, it's no problem, I support it! But we now have OO as a competitor, if he doesn't charge, we charge, then within a week, our 1000 million users They will all run away, even if there are 1000 million pigs, they will not run as fast as them!" Brother Xiao Ma is worthy of being the son of destiny, in this era before free internet is popular, his sense of smell is already so keen.

"What do you rely on to limit the current without paying money? Who does more typing?" Zeng Qing complained.

"Don't say it, you can really rely on typing!" Brother Xiaoma nodded and said, "I'm thinking, can our QQ users be able to add a level to them like a game?"

"This can be based on the length of online time. The longer the time, the higher the level, and the person with the highest level can use the QQ voice function first!"

"Yes!"

"This way is good!"

Everyone said yes, but Brother Xiao Ma was also bitter in his heart. This idea is really good. Under normal circumstances, Brother Xiao Ma can imagine that as soon as his policy is introduced, it will immediately cause a huge QQ wave of QQ in the whole network. upsurge.

It is human nature to make all QQ users hang up desperately. As a result, QQ's user adhesion will also skyrocket, and then more advertising costs will be raised!

Now, the only source of profit for QQ is the advertisements on QQ. It relies on selling some QQ advertising spaces to obtain benefits. According to the rules, the longer and more advertisements users see, the more advertising fees will naturally increase. This is a good way to increase QQ revenue.

It is a pity that I have now encountered OO. Although this level of creativity is still very useful, it cannot prevent a large number of users from switching to OO in order to experience the voice function.

More importantly, this will further increase the load on the server.

It is really inappropriate to take out this QQ rating system now, but in order to maintain user adhesion, this policy can only be implemented immediately.

Thinking of this, Brother Xiao Ma immediately ordered Zhang Zhidong to come up with a simple current limiting program within a day. To ensure that a small number of people can use QQ voice fortunately, the theme part of QQ can operate normally.

At the same time, the design and update of the QQ rating system will be completed within half a month, and at the same time, QQ voice will be limited based on this rule.

"Is it only half a month?" Zhang Zhidong was a little embarrassed. The simple server current limiting program was easy to handle, but this QQ rating system was really a headache.

This not only requires programming, but also needs to be adapted to the entire QQ. At the same time, various data models and rules of the QQ level must be established simultaneously. In the past, let alone half a month, even half a year, it may not be possible. appropriate.

It's only half a month now, and Zhang Zhidong feels Alexander.

"Zhidong, you have to work hard. When we survive this disaster, I will give you half a month... a month's paid vacation!" Brother Xiao Ma made a wish.

"Yes, I'll do my best!" Zhang Zhidong couldn't guarantee it, so he could only say this, and Brother Xiao Ma also knew what Zhang Zhidong was like. Since he said he would do his best, he wouldn't be lazy. The specific situation depends on fate. .

"Chairman, the current limit is not a long-term solution. We can't keep most of our users unable to use voice. We still have to find a way to expand our server!" Xu Chen, the founder who has not spoken, said.

"This is easy to say and easy to do, as long as you have money!" Zeng Qing said, "Zhidong, tell me, how many servers do we need to meet the needs of all users?"

"At least four times the current amount!" Zhang Zhidong actually had a draft in his heart. Since the server crashed, he had calculated how many servers he would need to stabilize QQ's network.

"Four times? That's 3.2 million servers!" Zeng Qing's mouth widened, and the number made his head spin, "OO they only bought 1.5 million, how can you double that? ah!"

"Because we now have twice as many active users as them!" Zhang Zhidong said, "I checked the data in the background, and a total of 487 million people tried to access our QQ voice today. It's impossible to expand four times!"

"Boss, can we take out 3.2 million?" Zeng Qing said with a wry smile.

"Can I grab the money for you from the bank?" Brother Ma reluctantly complained. As I said before, Tengda has been in a state of making ends meet, and it is impossible to count on his own profit. The only source is financing.

Today in June, just a week before Huang He came to Tengda, HIM invested 1250 million US dollars in Tengda, which is equivalent to 1 million yuan, which caused Tengda to lose a lot of blood. In the next three years, Tenda will not be short of funds for development.

This is also the reason why Brother Ma directly rejected Huang He without even seeing him face to face, because Brother Ma was really not short of money at that time.

It's just that the [-] million yuan was spent much faster than expected.

Among them, the biggest expense is to spend 5000 million to expand the server capacity, and then there are some trivial expenses, employee wages, network fees, office and so on, adding up to about 1000 million, so now Tenda can only use the funds left. 4000 million, and even a fraction of the server that needs to be purchased this time is not enough.

"Damn, where did we get so much money? Our entire company's current valuation is only [-] million yuan. Unless we sell the entire Tenda, we can't get so much money to buy servers!" Xu Chen scolded said.

"Even if we really want to sell, I'm afraid no one will buy it. This time we have made such a big basket, and there are competitors like OO. I am afraid that the value of our company has already been discounted in the eyes of others. !" Zeng Qing said scoldingly, he is the one with the most shares in the company other than Brother Xiao Ma.

"The only way is to raise money, or talk to HIM and let him invest a sum of money in us? We can give him that share!" Li Dan suggested.

"There is no need to think about HIM. I actually talked to him about increasing investment yesterday, but the people at HIM headquarters said that the situation is very chaotic now, and they need to see the results clearly!"

"Hehe, the whole world knows that we were wiped out by the sweeping auntie group, and it's only a ghost that HIM is willing to invest!"

"How about talking to IDG and Yingke Digital?" Another suggested.

"That little superman from Yingke, he didn't like us from the beginning to the end, otherwise he would not sell all the shares to HIM! As for IDG, I can talk about it, but not to mention whether they are willing to invest or not, IDG is an The rules of being famous are very big, I am afraid there is not more than a month, and the money can’t be negotiated at all, and there are procedures to go through, time is a big problem.”

"Then find a few more investment institutions, there are always those willing to invest in us!"

"Which investment institution is willing to spend 3 million to buy us servers!"

Tenda's high-level executives had a lot of discussions for money, but no one could give a reliable way to make money. The dwarf little brother stared at the distant sky in a daze.

"Could this be your plan!" Brother Ma muttered to himself, "You know we don't have any money, so you dragged us into the server war, and then beat us with money?"

"Then this plan is really an unsolved conspiracy!"
