Chapter 843: Microsoft is also here (two more to ask for collection)
"Fatal flaw?" Jiang Yong curious.
Qin Feng nodded.
"AOL is too big, and now, he has too much appetite to build a bigger Internet empire. But it is not a pure Internet company, and it is not clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet. Qin Feng analyzed, "At present, Yahoo, a pure Internet company, has just announced its profits. And AOL has made frequent moves, it has spent so much money, but it has not yet been realized, and it cannot be realized!"
At present, the world's Internet companies are still feeling the stones and looking for a profit model. Although Yahoo announced a profit, it has only just broken even, and it is slightly profitable.
As for how to make money, make a lot of money, and be able to satisfy investors, it is still being explored.
At this stage, all Internet companies in the world have been exploring for several years before gradually finding a profitable route. But it is a pity that AOL is eager to expand and want to build an Internet empire quickly, which eventually leads to too fast expansion and lack of profit points, and finally collapses.
In the end, a company with a market of more than $200 billion disappeared without a trace.
"But aren't we making money now?" Jiang Yong was puzzled.
It has now been proven that online games are the best way to make money.
Not only to make money, but to make a lot of money.
Qin Feng was slightly surprised.
Indeed, this path proves that it is indeed easy for the Internet to make money. Just build an online game, there will always be players with kryptonite.
"But it's not so easy to make money. Qin Feng pondered and said, "Of course, the other party is indeed worthy of our attention. ”
If AOL sees this road and spends a lot of money to smash it in, then Qin Feng really has to be careful to deal with it.
did not surprise Jiang Yong, and soon, Wang Zhidong announced with a lot of money that his "National Farm" will launch major preferential activities, as long as you pay 1 yuan, you can get a gift package worth 99 yuan!
This point is much more arrogant than Qin Feng's side.
Although, in the age of social media, the adhesion of users is the most critical. But after all, social media is only coming out now, and people are not completely dependent on one social media yet.
In this case, it is not surprising that many users choose to use two social media apps, such as ICQ and QQ together, and have accounts with two different apps.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the number of ICQ users exceeded 500,000, and the number of online users has also exceeded tens of thousands from the past thousands.
"Haha, it's good to have money. In the past, we were too poor, and we were taken the lead by Qin Feng, so we have been pressed by Qin Feng. Now, I want to see if Qin Feng can still hold us down!" Wang Zhidong laughed, quite a feeling of raising his eyebrows.
Now with AOL's injection of $10 million, he has plenty of money to compete with Qin Feng.
Of course, the $10 million won't last long. But AOL said that as long as his market share can rise, then there will be additional funds in the future. And the conditions are very favorable. It is a shareholding, and a simple capital investment will not interfere with his operation.
This condition is much more favorable than the original ICQ condition. This also made Wang Zhidong relieved.
What's more, now that labor is cheap, it is relatively cheap to rent broadband lines, etc., and because Qin Feng introduced cable modems in advance, this is an extremely mature technology in the United States, so the price is cheap. Now, his human resource costs every month, as well as various operating costs, etc., are only more than one million yuan.
After all, this is a high-tech company, an IT company, an Internet company, ICQ is introduced, and the portal website only needs to get a few college students who can program, and as for the content, just find some editors.
All of this adds up to a small amount of operating costs.
He is not like Qin Feng's side, he has to build everything by himself, and Qin Feng has great ambitions, and he has hired many kinds of programmers, operation officers and other talents.
10 million US dollars, Wang Zhidong can burn for a year or two, and it is no problem. At that time, as long as the market is up, AOL will invest hundreds of millions of dollars casually in the future, and it will not be fun to use the funds of AOL.
But that was enough for him to stare Qin Feng to death.
Therefore, Wang Zhidong is very hilarious.
In the future, he will launch a weekly 1 yuan gift package activity. Each time, it is worth 99 yuan. He wants to see how long Qin Feng's side can last.
Qin Feng hadn't made any response yet, and Ding Sanshi had also made a major announcement.
Ding Sanshi officially publicized and reached a strategic cooperation alliance with Microsoft.
Ding Sanshi will launch a larger online gaming service, while MSN will upgrade and launch a new social software that is more concise and efficient for everyone, and will be compatible with Microsoft's Windows system.
Microsoft will officially launch the new win98 operating system this summer, June 5, and at that time, it will be built-in with new MSN social software to provide better social services for all users.
This news undoubtedly makes the already hot Chinese Internet market even more hot.
This time, Microsoft is really entering the social media market, and Microsoft will also enter the gaming industry.
This news alerted Qin Feng.
Win98 is coming. This is one of the most successful operating systems in Microsoft's history, and it is also an operating system that really allows everyone to enter the beautiful computer world, much more successful than win95, and it is an operating system that really makes everyone feel that the interface is gorgeous.
Of course, there was the more successful XP system that followed.
But for now, win98 will be the most successful system in the next few years. It has a built-in MSN, which was not available before. Not only that, but online gaming services are also launched.
DID MICROSOFT BUILD XBOX IN ADVANCE? QIN FENG REMEMBERED THAT MICROSOFT BUILT XBOX IN 2001, AND THAT ERA WAS BORN. It is on par with Sony's PS2 and Sega's DC.
IN THE END, ONLY THE XBOX AND PS SERIES WERE LEFT IN THE WORLD. Moreover, Microsoft has also gone from throwing money at the beginning to finally succeeding and becoming a major hegemon in the home game console market, although it is not as good as the PS series, but the PS series can no longer drive it out, allowing it to successfully divide a large part of the market.
Now, is Microsoft waking up early because of its QQ farm?
However, Blizzard's "World of Warcraft" was so popular back then, and Microsoft didn't want to make an online game?
Qin Feng pondered.
At the moment in the United States, Intel headquarters.
"Qin Feng should have a headache now. Grove grinned.
During this trip to the Silicon Valley IT Forum, he successfully met with Ballmer from Microsoft and Steve Keys from AOL, and explained to them the changes in China. It also contributed to their investment in Huaxia Company.
