Chapter 134

New year's day, 2002.

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

"Chen zongzao."

"Good morning."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"No, I'm eating."

"Slow down, it's all right. There's more than half an hour to go to work."

Chen Yu greeted the crowd and entered the office.

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

"How's it going? How's it going?"

"President Chen can rest assured that everything will be officially launched at 12 o'clock according to the original plan."

"How is the download now?"

"I have said hello to the major guilds before. At present, there are about 100000 downloads."

For the convenience of netizens, YY 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.

"100000 times."

This number is a little low.

However, Chen Yu did not show anything.

If you only look at the number of downloads, more than 100000 times is really low.

But if more than 100000 times are Internet cafe users, it is not low.

But this is not confirmed.

In 2002, the number of Internet cafes in China was about 100000. Although many major guilds cooperated with companies, it is impossible for any Internet cafe to say hello and download YY. Among them, many are individual users.

Individual user Chen Yu is not particularly valued.

What he values most now is the Internet bar.

Although there are only about 100000 Internet cafes in China, if each Internet cafe provides 100 computers, he can directly let 10 million Internet users surf the Internet. This is only the first batch, because everyone knows that a computer can't be used by just one user. After this user uses it, there will be other users.

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

On average, there are about four.

By this calculation, the number of Internet users surfing the Internet through Internet cafes will reach 40 million, almost the number of domestic Internet users.

Of course, this is calculated according to 100 computers in each Internet cafe. In fact, there are not 100 Internet cafes in many villages and towns at this time. Most of them are only about 50, and some even have more than 20. But in any case, even if it is about 50 on average, the number of Internet users that Internet cafes can cover can reach 20 million.

Almost half of the current number of domestic Internet users, or even more.

In other words, if you master the Internet bar, you basically master the vast majority of users in China.

But for the time being, Chen Yu has not established big data. He still can't know how many 100000 downloads are Internet cafe users and how many are individual users.

"Why, everyone is unhappy."

Seeing that everyone looked serious, Chen Yu smiled and said.

"President Chen, it's my fault. I just contacted the major guilds and didn't cooperate with the major websites."

Zhang Jianming takes responsibility first.

Chen Yu shook his head: "it's too early for you to admit your mistake before our YY service has officially started. Besides, paying close attention to the guild is also our main way of promotion. Although cooperation with other websites is effective, it doesn't have much effect. Even advertising on portal websites is useless."

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

Speaking of this, we have to talk about Internet cafes.

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

Online games are.

So is instant messaging.

Everyone saw many people playing games in the Internet cafe, so they followed.

Everyone also saw others using QQ in the Internet cafe, so they also used it.

If there is no demonstration role played by Internet cafes, even if the traffic is large at once, people also feel that there are some single machines.

Who knows whether the person opposite the computer is a man or a dog?

"Tell you a story."

Seeing that everyone was still unsmiling, Chen Yu said, "do you know what QQ was like when it was just launched?"

"By the way, QQ in those years was not called QQ. His name was OICQ."

In 2000, because OICQ was so similar to ICQ in the United States, it was sued for infringement by ICQ and later renamed QQ.

"Alas, I don't know from your appearance."

Chen Yu's helpless stall: "then I'll say it directly. When QQ was pushed out, it was really miserable. Penguins had no money and QQ had no traffic. Ma Huateng only made this program and had been entertaining themselves. It was just entertaining themselves. No one came to play and had a headache. It was instant messaging. Instant messaging that no one used was nothing."

"Later, Ma Huateng found that it seems that women are very popular on the Internet. Yes, haven't we used this before? Ma Huateng told everyone in the company that everyone should register 3, no, register 10 female QQ numbers. Everyone must add 100 male friends to chat."

"So, relying on the human demon operation, QQ suddenly 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."

"Human demon operation, true or false?"

"It must be true. We used it too."

"We have used it, but we are real beauties. What kind of human demon is it?"

"But, Mr. Chen, where did you hear the gossip? It's too funny."

Such gossip is really hilarious.

The people who had a serious face before were suddenly relieved.

"The gossip has spread."

"I tell you, if you have nothing to do, don't bury yourself in your work. You should watch more gossip in the circle, such as Penguin Ma Huateng, Jinshan qiubojun and Lei Jun, Netease Ding Lei... It's good for us."

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

Of course it's a joke.

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

These gossip actually have some truth.

Sometimes it's really hard for those entrepreneurs at the beginning.

It's so difficult that you don't know how such a company was made to its current scale.

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

People can't afford to rent an office building, but that's it. Eighteen Arhats are crowded in an apartment, and Alibaba still appears. Of course, the emergence of Alibaba may not be plain sailing. Like Ma Huateng, eighteen Arhats buy and sell themselves on their own websites to get some popularity.

Another example is Dongge of later generations. Can he think of establishing Jingdong in the future when selling CDs?

Well, although Dongge is a hero, what does it matter.

"Well, well, you go your own way and calm down."

When Chen Yu drove the people out of the office, he turned on the computer and clicked legend.

I haven't played legend for a long time. I miss it.
