Chapter 942 - Go Acquisition (Two More Requests for Subscription)
As far as the current computer usage environment in the country is concerned.
There hasn't been much of a blowout in the number of people online. But the number of registrations has exploded.
Originally, the number of registered QQ users only added up to less than 2.6 million.
No way, the number of computers in the country is too limited, although the number of Internet cafes is growing in steps. However, the price, combined with the sheer number of registrations, is still very small.
But now, since the opening of major colleges and universities, the first thing students in all colleges and universities in the country do when they take multimedia classes is to pre-register a QQ number.
And when registering, I repeatedly reminded that this QQ number is unique to each person. Especially for school registration, this QQ number can be directly bound to the campus account. And through this account, you can directly check the student's school grades and other personal information.
Therefore, basically all college students have registered their QQ numbers. This led to a sharp increase in the number of registrations, directly exceeding 5 million.
Although the number of people online has not exploded for the time being, after all, if you are online, you need to have a computer. If you don't have a computer, you can go online.
But the breakthrough in this number is already very satisfying.
"Qin Feng, your method is really effective. Not only has we made money, but we have also increased our market share!" Jiang Yong was extremely happy at the moment.
Qin Feng's move was so effective that it made him feel wonderful.
"Don't be so happy, now our opponent is no longer just Xinlang's ICQ, but also Microsoft's MSN!" Qin Feng reminded.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yong also frowned.
Indeed, Microsoft is the key.
Now win98 has begun to be popularized on the market.
The main thing, of course, is piracy.
Genuinely speaking, a set of 1998 yuan is really a bit expensive. With the exception of some businesses, it is rare to buy. However, the emergence of piracy has made the people also begin to popularize.
After all, the interface of win98 is more gorgeous and more beautiful.
On the contrary, the current win95 is really not very good-looking, and there are relatively more bugs.
After the enterprise is installed, MSN will basically be installed by default, and users will be recommended to register and use it.
As for personal installations, it's the same. Users are automatically referred to sign up for an MSN account, and there are a lot of advertisements about MSN in the installation screen.
This has indeed made many people decide to try Microsoft's MSN.
After all, it's Microsoft's stuff.
For now, things are always good in the United States. Or rather, something from abroad is always good. This is a common knowledge of many people.
After all, good things come from the West. In the eyes of the Chinese people, foreigners are very rich, and we are very poor.
Of course, this is indeed the case.
When all this is deeply rooted, a subconscious logic is formed.
Foreign countries are good.
Therefore, at present, the number of registered people of MSN, although Wangyi has not been announced, but according to its move to increase the number of servers, it is obvious that the number of registered people is quite large.
The reason why we are looking for NetEase to cooperate is because if we directly get the server to Microsoft, that is, the US headquarters, in terms of the current network environment, it will be stuck.
At present, a full-scale submarine fiber optic cable has not yet been built. If you go to the United States from China, the broadband of the line is not enough, and it will be very stuck. Once there are many people, it is over.
Therefore, we will directly cooperate with Wangyi to provide services for all Huaxia MSN users by assuming servers in China.
Of course, this is also a temptation.
If it fails, forget it. At that time, just give up the Huaxia branch directly. This has to go to the U.S. headquarters, and the cost is a bit high. Failed, and it didn't sound good.
If this side is going to fail, it's just the action of a branch, so it doesn't matter.
"A lot of companies are using MSN right now!" Jiang said, "and many companies, especially multinationals, require their employees to use MSN to connect." ”
Qin Feng nodded.
This is the same situation in the early years when Microsoft introduced MSN. However, Microsoft just pushed it casually and didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, it's not profitable.
What doesn't make money, Microsoft never does.
Of course, it is also due to its insufficient judgment of the network. After all, in Microsoft's view, no matter how developed the network is, you always need a computer to access the Internet.
If you use a computer to access the Internet, then you must use an operating system.
Nowadays the operating system is only Microsoft's operating system, so what is Microsoft worried about.
Unexpectedly, the development of smart phones has gradually brought computers into the dust. The smartphone system is not Microsoft's.
This is its failure.
Otherwise, if you really want it to pay attention and are willing to spend a lot of money to get it, it will be very troublesome.
No one can resist Microsoft's invasion.
At least at the beginning of it all, no one could reach the wealthy Microsoft.
Think about the home console market, which was originally Sony and Sega, and Nintendo divided the world.
As a result, Sony overturned Sega and turned it into a game manufacturer. Nintendo has also been silenced for several years. I thought it would be a monopoly, but who would have expected that Microsoft would suddenly come in.
Then, with Microsoft's absolute wealth, it suddenly became one of the only two home computers on the market.
Even if Nintendo later made a comeback with the Wii, it was only reduced to a family entertainment console. In the real home gaming performance machine market, it can no longer set foot in it.
THE ONLY THING LEFT ON THE MARKET IS MICROSOFT'S XBOX AND SONY'S PSPORT SERIES.
Therefore, if Microsoft really wants to enter the game now, then Qin Feng will really have a headache.
Fortunately, for the time being, there is no opportunity for Microsoft to spend a lot of money to enter the game.
"Qin Feng, you say, do we want to launch a professional office version?" Jiang Yong asked.
Qin Feng thought about it and shook his head.
"No need! this is meaningless!" Qin Feng shook his head, "There are too many versions, but it's not good." You can just add the file transfer function. By the way, open a file transfer station!"
"File transfer station?"
"Yes, after all, sometimes what if the other party is not online when the file is transmitted? You can keep all the files for seven days. Qin Feng said, "In that case, even if the other party is not online, it doesn't matter, it can be transmitted." ”
Jiang Yong's eyes lit up.
"Also, for office use, launch an encryption system!" Qin Feng said, "Encrypt all documents to prevent them from being stolen!"
"This, our company really hasn't studied it!" Jiang Yong smiled bitterly, "In a hurry, I'm afraid it's not easy to get it!"
"It's simple, there are a lot of small companies with this kind of face abroad, go and buy!" Qin Feng said, "We are so profitable in our games now, let's go and buy them! There are many small companies in Silicon Valley in the United States, you can buy them." ”
"Acquisition?" Jiang Yong pinched his chin.
"Well, these small companies are not expensive anyway, the cheaper ones are only a few hundred thousand dollars, and the more expensive ones are only a few million dollars. But the benefits are terrible!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
