"Mr. Fei, should we plan some activities to add another fire to the Facebook game platform!" said Effie excitedly.

Her PR department has been preparing for these new projects since they were established.

Effie divided his subordinates into several teams and "marched" to forum websites where chess and card games, music, and film and television fans are concentrated.

In addition, she also began to collect some influential musicians and film critics on the Internet, and she was ready to ask these people to write some "advertorials" or something after the corresponding projects on Facebook were launched.

These are the work of her department.

However, Effie felt that it was not enough.

Ever since her Facebook Chinese New Year celebration was a huge success, Effie felt that she had a talent for planning, and now that she saw the launch of the Facebook game platform, she was eager to give it a try.

She has thought of a complete set of game platform promotion plans, and she will definitely achieve good results.

Who knows, Yu Wenfei shook his head after hearing this, "Don't rush first." Now we don't have too strong opponents. The development of a game platform is best gradual, if the expected effect can be achieved by word-of-mouth publicity alone, then there is no need for us to pull out the seedlings to help grow. ”

Seeing that Effie was a little anxious to justify, Yu Wenfei smiled and said, "I know, you must have a lot of good activity plans." Let's put it there for now, and it will be useful soon. On the game platform, we not only want to attract new users, but also retain users, so a relatively flat rhythm in the early stage will be better. Let users adapt to our platform first, and at the same time, let our platform operation team exercise and run-in. ”

For the Facebook game, Yu Wenfei does have his own ideas and rhythm.

Backed by Facebook, coupled with its own excellent level, the Facebook game platform does not worry about new users at all.

But just like when you were doing Facebook, there are some killer features that can't be used indiscriminately, and you have to control the rhythm.

If you throw out all the back hands now, then the opponents have all learned from the past, and when the QQ game platform is launched, people will draw a scoop according to the gourd, and even increase the effort, how will you deal with it.

In addition, the operation and maintenance department of the Facebook game platform is also composed of personnel who have just been transferred from various departments, which is a new team that needs time to grow.

Hearing Yu Wenfei say this, Effie had no choice but to give up.

Yu Wenfei patted her shoulder and said with concern: "From the Spring Festival to the present, you don't seem to have much vacation and rest, work is work, you must pay attention to your body, if you can't take a few days off." ”

Effie's heart warmed, and her efforts were still seen by the boss.

She hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can hold on, I'll ask for leave when I'm really tired." ”

Hu Jingjing next to her heard the conversation between the two of them, and was a little jealous in her heart, and said coquettishly: "I don't have a holiday to rest after the New Year, Mr. Fei, you work overtime on weekends, and I am also working overtime, why don't you care if I'm tired or not?"

Effie smiled but didn't say anything, turned her head to talk to Cai Congxin and Lu Qi.

Yu Wenfei shook his head and said helplessly: "Okay, you have also worked hard! In this way, it seems that you haven't had a salary increase for a long time, I will ask personnel to increase your employee level by one level, and your performance has been really good recently." ”

Hu Jingjing was pleasantly surprised, cheered, rolled her eyes, and saw that Effie, Cai Congxin and Lu Qi were on the other side and didn't know what to talk about, so they didn't pay attention to this side.

She took advantage of Yu Wenfei's defenselessness and quickly kissed him on the face, the water rippled in her apricot eyes, and she whispered with a crimson face: "Thank you, Mr. Fei." ”

In fact, the level of employees has increased by one level, and the extra salary is nothing to Hu Jingjing, and her family's cannement factory business is now quite good. But this means something different, if you are coquettish, Yu Wenfei will loosen his mouth and raise his salary, which means that he is still very important in Yu Wenfei's heart.

Beautiful girls like to compare with the beautiful girls around them, and Hu Jingjing's comparison object is Effie.

She watched Effie rise from a miscellaneous role like a rocket, and now she is on the company's board of directors!

As for himself, he has always been a little secretary.

The secretary is just that, this is also the job she wants to do, but her relationship with Yu Wenfei has not made any progress, which makes Hu Jingjing a little anxious.

Hu Jingjing is also ambitious, she wants to conquer the world!

Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men.

Women, especially beautiful women, only need to conquer the man who has conquered the world, which is equivalent to conquering the world themselves.

When Yu Wenfei saw her like this, his heart was also hot, this "fox spirit" is becoming more and more sultry.

However, Yu Wenfei is not an ordinary hairy young man, he can still control the power of the desolation in his body, and said calmly: "Disrespectful to the boss, punish the employee for downgrading the level by one level." ”

Hu Jingjing was dumbfounded, blinking her eyes, "What ......"

"Hehe, just kidding. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

"Ah...... , boss you...... You're so bad!"

…………

After the Facebook game platform was launched, it took less than a week for the number of users on the platform to reach 50 million.

If you only look at the number of users, it may not be as good as Lianzhong, but it only surpasses the wingers and game tea gardens, ranking second among the chess and card game platform websites.

However, the average number of daily online users on the Facebook game platform far exceeds that of Lianzhong!

On April 1st, the day of the launch, the number of online users peaked at more than 5 million!

On April 2, the number of online users peaked at more than 8 million!

On April 3rd, the number of online users peaked at over 10 million!

Since the third day, the number of daily active users has never exceeded 10 million, which is already comparable to the most popular online game at that time - Legend.

As for the Lianzhong game platform, the number of daily active users has begun to fall off a cliff, and now the peak number of daily online users does not exceed one million.

There is no head-to-head confrontation, and the Lianzhong game platform has collapsed.

In order to save the situation, the winger game platform was in a hurry, what recharge discounts, what to log in every day to send members, and various activities began to be introduced.

It's a pity that no matter how much you discount, after all, you still have to charge, and the Facebook game platform is all free!

Besides, as far as the Lianzhong platform is concerned, the user experience of paid members is far less than the free user experience of Facebook, and netizens are not stupid, so why should they pay you.

We have to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Lianzhong Wei frowned, and looked at the executives with a heavy face.

"Or ...... We also built our own data centers to increase bandwidth. Now we are compared with Facebook games, it is an all-round backwardness, in terms of software, our technical department can work overtime to improve, but the hardware is backward, then it is not something that our technical department can solve. The technical director spoke.

"Hey...... Who doesn't know that having their own data center, private fiber access, can greatly improve the user experience. However, it all takes money! To tell you the truth, in the past year, I have met with at least five VCs and want to conduct a third round of financing. But...... None of them worked out. Mr. Wei's face was ugly.

One year after the advent of the Lianzhong platform, that is, in 99 years, it has become the leader of the domestic chess and card game platform.

The first and second rounds of funding went well, adding up to more than $50 million in venture capital funding, but the company hasn't received investment since 2001.

Because VCs found that even if they were the first in the industry, they still did not find a reasonable profit model, that is, there was no channel for traffic monetization!

Even if Lianzhong has launched a membership system, there are very few people who are willing to pay, that is, relying on the large user base, the annual membership fee received can maintain expenses and make a small profit.

It stands to reason that in this year, there are very few profitable Internet companies, and they should be sought after by VCs.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Because a number of VCs have evaluated Lianzhong, they believe that the upper limit of the chess and card game platform is too low, the space is too small, the user's willingness to pay is not strong, and the profit model is not clear.

That is, there is no imagination......

And to build its own data center, the investment is often more than 100 million, how can Lianzhong have so much money to smash.

Facebook is different, relying on the social platform of Facebook, I just got 400 million US dollars in venture capital, which is more than 3 billion yuan!

Originally, the foundation of Facebook was good, and at the beginning of its establishment, I heard that the investment was hundreds of millions, and the boss was willing to spend money.

Recently, there have been rumors in the industry that Facebook has established six major data centers across the country at the same time, and they are all buying land and building buildings by themselves, and the scale is very huge! The investment amount is as high as more than one billion, and it can be said that the 400 million US dollars of venture capital that has just arrived will be smashed out of half of the hardware construction.

This news made many peers stunned, no one knows what Facebook wants to do, these days, which Internet company has such a luxury, even if Tencent Baidu does this very well, companies with high requirements for data processing have just begun to prepare their own data centers.

The rest of the Internet peers are still renting telecom computer rooms.

Facebook began to enclose land across the country and build its own big data center!

Such a madman, if you invest more hardware than him, isn't that looking for death?

As for the "small physique" of Lianzhong, the entire company has packed up and sold it all, and it can't sell more than a billion yuan......

…………

There was silence in the conference room, before the Facebook game platform was not launched, the competition in the chess and card game industry was not fierce, and the scale of Lianzhong, Wingfeng, Game Tea Garden, and China Game Center was relatively large, and everyone lived in peace, relying on membership fees to earn some hard money.

However, no one expected that Facebook, an "outsider", would suddenly break in, and as soon as it came in, it would turn the entire industry upside down!
