Chapter 144

Today, Liang Weinan announced something at Mumu Company.

From now on, MUMU chat software, including all its MUMU spaces, and MUMU chat groups all enter the free era.

Once the news was announced, the entire Mumu company fell into shock.

Is this still that Liang Weinan who regards money as much as his life?

Even willing to make Mumu software for free.

You know, before Mumu could bring Liang Weinan tens of millions of income every month, including but not limited to the monthly membership fee and the user's recharge fee through the voice channel.

Although Mumu is under the pressure of QQ, the number of users has decreased by 80%, but this is still less than two million yuan in income a month.

even.

Under the attack of QQ wantonly attacking cities and territories in the Internet industry, these existing Mumu users can be said to be Mumu's diehard fans.

He, Liang Weinan, is willing to do so?

Why is he willing to do so?

Even though countless employees were shocked in their hearts, they still followed Liang Weinan's wishes and released the information on the official website that Mumu would be free.

at the same time.

They also imitated the QQ pop-up window and pushed this message to all online Mumu users.

Countless Mumu users who are online now were shocked when they received the information.

Mumu is also free?

this time.

In the eyes of those colleagues, classmates and friends, they stick to Mumu's position like aliens.

After all, for them, Mumu is not just a piece of software.

It also carries its own memory.

The goodness and happiness they once harvested on Mumu will not make them make the decision to give up Mumu and join the embrace of QQ.

However, who wants to spend that extra money every month when there is free software.

Countless Mumu users rushed to tell each other.

"Honey, Mumu is also free, can we go back to the past?"

"Honey, I forgive you, I left a message for you in Mumu."

"Do you still remember the oath we made at our graduation meeting in June this year, back to Mumu, I'll wait for you."

Among them, there are countless Mumu users.

There are also people arranged by Liang Weinan.

Post on the forum, call your friends, leave a message under the news comment section of the thin tiger after surfing the Internet, and spread it in the Mumu group.

so and so.

When Liang Weinan left the company at 10 o'clock in the evening, Mumu's users actually achieved a miracle of reverse growth.

Originally, there were only about 400,000 online users, but it went up against the trend. At the peak at 9:15 p.m., the number of online users reached an astonishing 1.94 million.

More than quadrupled.

When Liang Weinan left the company, he had a smile on his face.

But the employees who were still working overtime in the company were shocked.

It turned out that the real Internet boss turned out to be Liang Weinan, a seemingly inconspicuous stingy person.

At present, there is an undercurrent in Mumu Company.

Numerous employees who have already found a new job, or are about to find a new job, reported Mumu's actions and the feedback they received.

At this time, several investment companies that were always paying attention to the domestic Internet situation in Longhan held a departmental meeting overnight.

Discuss what the free model does for the Internet.

Even if they don't want to admit it, the truth tells them.

In the Longhan Empire, companies that charge fees will definitely not be able to play for free.

This has a huge impact on their future investment direction.

It can even be said that before that.

Those they invest in are bound to fail.

The Internet industry of Longhan Empire will start from Mumu and enter the era of free.

Zhou Yuanyuan was also awakened by someone calling from her sleep in the middle of the night.

When she learned that Mumu started to learn QQ for free, and the effect was not bad, she was very surprised.

When the number of QQ users was rising rapidly, she was on the sidelines like many investors.

A company, a piece of software, if it only relies on free to attract users.

This strategy is still feasible in a short period of time, but if it goes on for a long time, what profit will the company get?

What to use to pay employees and pay office expenses.

What to take to update the software version and buy a server.

And, a long time ago.

The investment community has discussed the feasibility of free and paid models.

In the end, they agreed.

The free mode is like a shooting star, it looks extremely dazzling, but only for that moment.

Longhan Empire was not a company that did free software before.

But all were lost in front of time because of financial problems.

On the contrary, the charging model seems to grow slowly, but the victory lies in the steady and steady development, one step at a time.

It is like a big tree that takes root first and then grows. It may take a period of slow development in the early stage, but in the later stage it is an absolutely stable cash cow.

"Su Ye, Su Ye, you are really a spoiler in the Internet industry."

"Mumu learned how to operate from you, and there will definitely be a large number of entrepreneurs who will come to our company for investment with various IDEAs and proposals."

Zhou Yuanyuan smiled wryly, dressed neatly, and went to Gaoda Company's headquarters in Jiangcheng.

It's already brightly lit.

Zhou Ying, who was far away in the imperial capital, also received the report from her subordinates immediately.

After learning that Mumu really followed in the footsteps of QQ and started free, she wasn't too shocked.

Because, not long ago, she also had such an idea.

Only later, after some analysis by Zhao Feifei, she gave up this idea.

Zhao Feifei told her: "Stick to what you are doing now, don't give up."

"It's like buying clothes."

"When someone buys clothes, they like to look at the style. As long as they like it, the price doesn't matter."

"And some people only look at the price when they buy things. As long as the things they want to buy can meet their basic needs, then of course, the lower the price, the better."

"Undeniable."

"A free operation will attract the vast majority of Internet users."

"However, a word that has always been popular in the Longhan Empire is called minority."

"Youxin'er was mainly engaged in special groups with certain literary and artistic needs, such as artists, celebrities, and employees of large foreign companies."

"These users seem to be a small proportion compared to the 3 billion population of the Longhan Empire, but the small proportion does not mean that the number is small."

"If Youxin'er can stick to her own position in the future and keep going."

"In the field of instant messaging, there will also be a place of its own."

Zhao Feifei convinced Zhou Ying with this passage.

So in the eyes of the outside world, Youxin'er is giving up on herself and going with the situation.

But this is actually Zhou Ying's conclusion after careful consideration.

Longhan has 3 billion people, even if the minority group accounts for only 1%, there are still 30 million users.

At present, the total number of registered users of Youxiner has only reached 15 million. Recently, due to the emergence of QQ, the number of daily online users is less than 300,000.

In other words, there is still a lot of market space for Youxiner in the future.

Holding the phone in her hand, Zhou Ying, who was dressed in pajamas, smiled relaxedly and said to the phone, "Don't worry about others, we just need to be ourselves."

After all, he hung up the phone without waiting for his subordinates to respond.

Looking at the still brightly lit imperial capital outside the window, Zhou Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

These people have been competing for time and opportunities with other companies, and they have killed peers and opponents who once seemed huge.

Eventually, a tripartite situation in the field of instant messaging was formed.

But what is this?

As soon as QQ came out, it was not easy to kill their so-called Big Three.

Maybe.

It's time to give yourself a break.

Just like Zhao Feifei.

Zhou Ying deeply knew that Zhao Feifei was suppressed by herself in Youxin'er.

She failed to show her management and business talents to the fullest.

No wonder this girl didn't want to leave after going to Jiangcheng. On the surface, she seemed to be angry with herself for notifying her that day.

In fact, Zhao Feifei probably likes a working environment where she can play freely without constraints.

For a while, Zhou Ying became a little curious about Jiangcheng, the place where QQ, the true giant in the instant messaging field, was born.

Maybe it's time to take a break for yourself.

Zhou Ying lay on the bed and turned off the bedside lamp.
