My rebirth is different

Chapter 401

In Yuwenfei's dream, 2003 was the most successful year for the domestic Internet industry.

During this year, many future dominant companies in subdivided industries emerged!

It is also the first spring that China's Internet ushered in after the bubble crisis at the turn of the century.

Countless people transmit information through mobile services, which expands the total business volume of operators such as China Mobile Unicom; more people start to install broadband services; also in this year, countless Chinese people began to connect their computers to the Internet , began to learn to shop online, play games, browse news, read novels, submit resumes...

Sina, Sohu, and Netease all achieved their first full-year profit since their listing this year; Qidian Chinese.com began to explore paid reading; countless people chose to submit their resumes online to find jobs, and 166job’s online recruitment service Revenue increased by 2003%. In [-], it went public in the United States.

The investment market began to restore confidence in China's Internet.At the end of 2003, there were nearly 4000 million computers with Internet access in China, and the official data of Internet users was 8000 million, an average increase of about 50% over the previous year.The actual number of people online is estimated to be much higher than this number.

Because Magic City Shanda, which operates Legend of Blood, announced at the end of 2002 that the number of registered users of the game had exceeded 5000 million, while the official statistics at that time only had more than 4000 million Internet users nationwide.

In March 2002, Tencent announced that the number of QQ user registrations exceeded 3 million, while the official statistics at that time were less than 4000 million Internet users nationwide.Of course, Tencent's [-] million is also a lot of water. At that time, many people had two or three or more QQ numbers.

It is conceivable that at the end of 2003, the number of real netizens definitely exceeded [-] million.

…………

The domestic Internet industry has come out of the severe winter and is moving towards spring. This has already begun to be seen since January.

The popularity of Facebook and the launch of Sina Blog exceeded 300 million users on the same day, which also made other portals eager to try.

Although Sina Blog has not caught up with Facebook, the volume of 300 million users a day is enough to make people salivate. Obviously, it will not be long before this is a large website of tens of millions.

Who would want to miss such a good thing if this kind of website is set up as a separate company and used to go public and cash out hundreds of millions or billions.

So, just after New Year's Day, Sohu Company announced that Sohu Blog has been officially approved and will be launched within this month.

Not to be outdone, NetEase immediately announced that the NetEase blog has also been approved and will be officially launched at the end of January!

In fact, NetEase has been very proud of making games in the past two years.

Not only is the agent’s pickle game sprite very popular, but the self-developed games also look good.

By the beginning of 2003, several of NetEase's housekeeping IPs had been launched, including Westward Journey, Fantasy Westward Journey, and Tianxia.However, the first generation of Westward Journey received mediocre response, and not many people played it in the world, but Fantasy Westward Journey was not bad, and the number of players has been steadily increasing.

Although it can't be compared with Shanda's Legend of Blood, these games have turned NetEase from loss to profit, and successfully got rid of the crisis of being delisted.

However, NetEase’s ambitions are obviously not small. After making games successfully, portal websites have also entered the top three in China. They began to look forward to instant messaging on the Internet. At that time, launched its own network instant messaging software, NetEase Bubble!
This is to compete with Tencent Xiaoma for territory.

Don't tell me, after the launch of Netease Bubbles, the momentum of growth is quite strong, and the number of users has reached several million.Of course, the tens of millions of gaps from Tencent QQ are still obvious.

Now seeing the rise of blog sites, Netease couldn't bear it anymore, and was ready to step in and try the water.

Anyway, no matter if it works or not in the end, it is always right to try, what if it works...

As for the rest of the small Internet companies, there are countless blog sites, but none of them are very competitive, and no one cares.

However, the two giants Tencent and Ali did not get involved in this blog war.

Tencent is engaged in their QQ show and membership fee business, and has started a traffic monetization plan, which is to launch a game business.

The people at Tencent finally figured it out. These days, games are still making money. Looking at Shanda's Legend of Blood, it's like lying down and counting money!Originally, Shanda wasn't considered a serious company, it didn't even have R&D personnel, but it just represented a good game.

As a result, looking at this momentum, the company's profitability has basically killed all Internet companies in seconds!
Who is not envious of this.

The number of registered users of Tencent exceeded 2002 million in March 3, and now it has 8000 million registered users!Even though many of them are repeated registered users, such a huge user traffic cannot be compared with other Internet companies.

If you make a game like Legend of Blood, even if only half of these users play it, how much money can you earn!
Ali, on the other hand, still focuses on their e-commerce platform.Lao Ma feels that the upper limit of Alibaba's B2B platform for foreign trade is still too low, and he should transform to C2C.

There are several forms of e-commerce, that is, B2B, which is business-to-business, and Alibaba is this model.

There is also B2C, which is business-to-person.The representative of this kind of e-commerce abroad is of course Amazon, and there are also Dangdang and Excellence in China.The competition is still relatively fierce, and Lao Ma wants to avoid this kind of competition.

The last is C2C, which is person to person.There are fewer people working in this mode. In 2003, there was not a decent C2C website in China.Lao Ma is keenly aware that this is a huge blue ocean market with unlimited development potential!

Therefore, within Ali Company, a secret project team was established, which is the Taobao project team!

At about the same time, in Zhongguancun, the capital, a small owner who sold CDs also started to try to sell goods online.

Brother Dong, who is famous in later generations, is still opening a shop in Zhongguancun at this time.

It has to be said that the top students of the National People's Congress are better than ordinary people even in small businesses.

Brother Dong's store is genuine, and the business is quite prosperous.

In the past two years, there have been quite a lot of computers and mobile phones sold online. Most of them use the model of promoting in large forums, and then selling goods on their own small websites or small forums.

Brother Dong is smart. He found the largest IT forum in the industry, bought the moderator of the forum, and secretly gave some money to the moderator to help him advertise.

Sure enough, Dongge's CD-ROMs became famous on the Internet, and many people bought them through the Internet.

(PS: The time has advanced to 2003. Everyone knows what happened in that year, but these things cannot be written, so in the article, I will dilute these backgrounds and will not arrange the corresponding plots. Everyone understands this background Enough.)
