According to the data released by ebay, on the first day of the official launch of ebay ICQ, more than 55,000 groups of various types were opened, of which enterprises and educational institutions are the most open groups, especially the education system in the United States, which is actually the favorite of the group function, among the more than 55,000 groups opened on the first day, more than 18,000 are from high schools, universities and various social training institutions and other educational institutions. Ballmer was taken aback: Is the penetration of computers already so high in educational institutions in the United States?

In the following week, Chen Geng was surprised by the number of new registered users on eBay: in a short period of time, eBay added more than 400,000 new users, including more than 150,000 new users from Europe.

This made Chen Geng a little unacceptable: "Steve, our eBay has been promoted in Europe, right?"

"No," Steve Ballmer was also a little dazed: "You said that the United States is now the world's Internet center, and the development of eBay in the United States can achieve two gains with one effort, and the development of eBay in Europe may not be able to achieve one harvest with two efforts, so we have not paid attention to the European market." ”

"Then what's going on with these 150,000 new European users?" Chen Geng couldn't help laughing: "Are they all coming for our ebay ICQ?"

"It seems to be," Steve Ballmer also laughed and cried: "Boss, our ebay ICQ is tied to ebay, and they must register an ebay account if they want to use ebay ICQ, this ......"

"Let's investigate, we can't even know why there are so many new users, right?" Chen Geng said with a smile: "Also, since these people have already registered our eBay, we must develop them into our real customers, and we can't waste such a good opportunity." ”

When he said this, Chen Geng couldn't help but laugh: Is eBay ICQ about to launch an international version?

..................

Ebay moved very quickly, and after an hour, the analysis report was transmitted.

"Boss, these new ebay accounts in Europe are really coming for ebay ICQ," Steve Ballmer reported to Chen Geng with a strange face: "And among these new users, the number of new users from English-speaking countries is less than 20%, and there are more from France, Italy, Germany and other countries." ”

"So?"

"So I think these new European ebay users may be the European branches of American companies," said Steve Ballmer, "and these American companies realized the usefulness of our ebay ICQ, and asked their European branches and European employees to also register ebay accounts and communicate with the headquarters through ebay ICQ...... Compared with traditional email or E-mail, our ebay ICQ is much more convenient in terms of real-time and interactivity. ”

"It seems that this is the case nine times out of ten," Chen Geng also felt that this analysis was very reliable, and he scratched his chin: "So, our eBay ICQ is still very recognized?"

"It's one thing to be recognized, but boss, we're going to add servers and bandwidth again," Steve Ballmer said with a smile: "Now the number of our users has exceeded 12 million, but the vast majority of them are coming to ebay ICQ, you see, among the new users in the last half month, only 2.42% of users have had at least one shopping experience on ebay...... Boss, we can't keep investing, can we?"

"Who said you can't put it in?" Chen Geng smiled, he patted Steve Ballmer on the shoulder: "Steve, as a professional manager, you are qualified, but you are indeed not a qualified entrepreneur, you must know that this situation is a good thing that countless entrepreneurs dare not think of." ”

“......”

Steve Ballmer blinked, clearly unconvinced.

"Don't say anything else, let's just talk about it now, our ebay ICQ has gathered so many enterprise users, the B2B website I told you before, is it possible to start preparing?" Chen Geng said: "Another example, since our ebay users exceed 12 million, instead of complaining about the low conversion rate of users, why don't you find a way to convert?"
