Yangcheng, Wangyi Company, conference room.

Wang Zhidong, who was sitting on the upper hand, asked his subordinates: "Now it is the eighth day of January, and there is still a month to celebrate the Spring Festival, so everyone is actively preparing for the company's annual meeting." Oh, by the way, how are YY software and Internet Genie doing now?"

One of the following immediately said: "Mr. Wang, although we have increased the publicity of the Internet Elf, but because of the quality of the Internet Elf itself, the number of registrations of the Internet Elf has not increased significantly.

According to the official release of the Internet Elf, the number of Internet Elf registrations exceeded 80,000 this morning. But according to our calculations, these 80,000 are a huge amount of water, and it is estimated that the number of registrations is less than 60,000.

And the number of Internet elves online at the same time is even lower, only less than 2,000. ”

Wang Zhidong listened, rubbing his head, feeling a real headache.

The Internet elf really can't help it!

"What about YY's situation?"

"Since New Year's Day this year, Huanyu Technology has organized a lot of manpower to eliminate the impact of YY being blackened in Wuhu and Xinlang, as well as major forums. At the same time, it attracted a lot of YY users to spontaneously post to maintain YY, so that the number of registrations of YY increased steadily every day. As of today, the number of registrations for YY has reached 450,000, and the number of online users has exceeded 30,000. ”

Hearing that the number of registrations for YY has reached 450,000, and the number of online users has exceeded 30,000, Wang Zhidong showed a look of surprise.

You must know that there are not yet 300,000 users who use Wangyi mailbox, and the number of registrations of an instant messaging software that has only been online for two months has reached 450,000. Wangyi Mailbox has been online for a year, so compared to it, Wangyi Mailbox is really far behind.

Wang Zhidong pondered for a moment and said, "You said that we will also make an instant messaging software, how about it?"

"Mr. Wang, there are three instant messaging software that have appeared on the market, and YY obviously has an absolute advantage. If we want to get a piece of the pie, then our software must at least have its own characteristics, and we must also increase investment in publicity.

But in this case, we will be under even greater financial pressure. And instant messaging software, we don't know where its profit point is for the time being, I'm afraid it's not okay to enter rashly?"

A high-level executive next to him looked at everyone and put forward his own suggestions.

"I think messaging apps have a lot of promise, and once they get more than 10 million registrations, they're worth immeasurable. A senior executive also voiced his opinion.

Another high-level executive shook his head and said: "Even our network is not profitable yet, and burning money is not like this." ”

"As long as you reach 10 million, or even 100 million, the value is immeasurable. Think about how much ICQ sold, $407 million. ”

"Hehe, can you guarantee that our chat software can surpass YY and become the number one instant messaging software?"

……

Seeing several high-level executives arguing, Wang Zhidong also felt a little headache, and he was also struggling with whether he should intervene in the field of instant messaging software.

Think about the prospect of instant messaging software, when the number of users exceeds 100 million, but think about YY has entered the market, and is running very well, and the number of daily registrations is rising. With the support of Whoosh Fox and Xinlang, Wang Zhidong is a little uncertain.

After a while, Wang Zhidong decided to give it a try and enter the instant messaging software market with the momentum of the three major portals. Lay a high ground for the expansion of the portal business in the future.

"Well, with the influence of Wangyi. If you launch an instant messaging software, it will definitely not be like Internet Genie and Internet Pager, which have only been online for a few days and have already lost. We want to create a chat software with its own characteristics, so that we can cut into the market and compete with YY. ”

Saying that, Wang Zhidong looked around at several high-level officials, and then continued,

"My plan is to buy the current Internet Genie and then optimize it, add new features, and form its own characteristics. Then rely on the Wangyi portal website to quickly push it to the market. By the way, my initial idea is to bind our network billion mailbox and open up both sides, one account can log in to the chat software, or you can read emails and send emails. ”

"We can bind the Wangyi mailbox account and the chat software account. With one account, you can watch news and send emails on the Internet, and you can also log in to chat with friends on chat software. In this way, several of our services have been directly connected, and the content of Wangyi can also be pushed to users through chat software, and users can subscribe to news and so on. ”

After Wang Zhidong finished speaking, the following executives were impressed, this plan can not only expand the users of the network billion portal, but also increase the stickiness of the network hundred million users. Everyone thought about it for a while, and they all felt that Wang Zhidong's idea was very feasible, and they all agreed.

Wang Zhidong looked at everyone's expressions and smiled slightly, this was something he thought about for a long time.

Seeing that everyone supported the launch of Wangyi's own instant messaging software, Wang Zhidong immediately ordered: "Lao Chen, you are responsible for buying all the copyrights of the Internet Genie from Polaris Software Company, with a maximum price of 200,000 yuan." Of course, the lower the price, the better, and we don't have much money in Wangyi, so this Lao Chen depends on your ability. Mr. Wang, you are responsible for the optimization of the design software and the addition of new features, as well as the planning of account opening. Give you a week, and after the design is completed, let's discuss it together. ”

"Okay, no problem. I'll arrange it later. ”

"Okay, the design will be done next week. ”

……

Zhou Xuan, who was far away in Chengdu, didn't know that Wangyi was about to enter the instant messaging software market, and he was busy with the year-end summary in the past few days, as well as about the holding of the first annual meeting of the three companies in the world.

1998 was the year of the establishment of the three companies of Huanyu, and it was also a year of vigorous development of the three companies.

During the year, Uniworld launched two pieces of software, both of which have achieved great success.

More than 40,000 sets of Internet café management systems have been sold, with an income of more than 70 million. The reason why there is only more than 70 million is because in the second half of the year, the price of the Huanyu Internet café management system has dropped to 1,000 yuan a set.

By 1999, the Global Internet Café Management System had become free to use.

The reason why Zhou Xuan is free is that he hopes to occupy the market of the Internet café management system as soon as possible, expand his influence, and improve the influence of hao123 and YY software.

Since the launch of the global cash register system in October, by the end of December, the sales revenue in three months was 2.78 million. Of course, there is also the maintenance fee for each subsequent month, which is also an income.

As for the development of the global Internet café chain and YY, it is changing with each passing day
