On November 11, 98, the autumn wind in Rongcheng was bleak and ushered in a burst of autumn rain.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Xuan came to the company early to prepare for the official launch of YY software at 11:11.

This time, the YY number user registration of YY software will start directly from six digits, and such as 100000/888888 such beautiful numbers, the official will be retained. Like the previous TX, Zhou Xuan took 10,000 as a YY customer service, 10,001 as his own YY number, 10,002 to Weilian, 10,003 to Zhou Changxing, 10,004 to Lu Daming, and the rest of Kuang Yufei, Feng Jing, Deng Cheng and others all got the corresponding YY number.

And now the employees of Huanyu Technology have obtained a 5-digit YY number, and it is estimated that there will be no such opportunity in the future.

In the company, Zhou Xuan, Kuang Yufei, Feng Jing, and Lu Daming all got together to discuss the launch of YY.

……

Rongcheng University of Science and Technology Shahe Campus, as the temperature plummets, the leaves of ginkgo biloba have turned yellow, and it has been a good place to see ginkgo in Rongcheng for many years.

In the classroom dormitory building 2, Ruan Huamao was eating breakfast, and then turned on the computer to browse today's news.

As a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at HKUST, Ruan Huamao naturally knows a lot about computers and the Internet. In the first two years, I bought a computer, and I also pulled the network cable, and I usually checked the information, read the news, and visited the forum.

Skillfully opening the hao123 navigation website, Ruan Huamao then saw that the familiar fox advertisement in the upper part was gone, and was replaced by a large advertisement with bright colors.

"Hey, what is this?"

"The world's first Chinese instant messaging software will be revealed soon...... YY is looking forward to your joining......"

The huge title and bright colors all attract Ruan Huamao to click in.

Ruan Huamao subconsciously used the mouse to click, and then the webpage continued to jump, and it went to the official website specially designed for YY software by Huanyu Technology. , which Zhou Xuan bought from a domain name investor, and spent almost 300,000 yuan.

On the official website, there is an introduction to Huanyu Technology, as well as a detailed introduction to the functions of YY software. Including a variety of text, picture description, content such as registration process, user help, etc. Huanyu Technology uses as detailed pictures and texts as possible to let everyone know what YY does, what functions it has, and how to chat with friends and find friends from all over the world.

"Friend search, add friends, chat with friends from all over the world, realize grouping, transfer files and pictures ......"

"Oooh...... Isn't this ICQ? But this YY software is much stronger than the foreign ICQ function, and the interface is also clear and concise, and there are many more functions. I really can't wait, why should I download it at eleven o'clock?"

Ruan Huamao looked at the fact that it was only nine o'clock, and thought to himself why Huanyu Technology didn't release it earlier, so that he could download it as soon as possible, so that he could play this software as soon as possible. Anyway, the introduction of the official website had already firmly attracted his heart, and Ruan Huamao suddenly felt that more than two hours was really a long time.

Thinking of his girlfriend in a big place, Ruan Huamao was a little excited. Yes, he wants to use this app, mainly to date and chat with his girlfriend online. You know, the phone bill is really a bit expensive when they are separated by two places. They also can't call every day, and it would be great if they could actually chat online.

I have also used foreign ICQ before, but the function of ICQ is really cheating, and Ruan Huamao and his girlfriend are really not used to using it. Now seeing the appearance of YY, Ruan Huamao is really looking forward to it.

Since it won't be downloaded until 11:11, Ruan Huamao went back to the hao123 website and went to Whoosh Fox to watch the news. I knew that I had just entered the homepage of Whoosh Fox, and the huge YY advertisement was also coming head-on, which scared Ruan Huamao.

"Damn, this Huanyu Technology is a good cow, not only advertising on hao123, but also advertising on the swishing fox!" Ruan Huamao cried out in shock.

It's really now hao123 and whoosh fox are really too famous, hao123 needless to say, the first choice for Xiaobai to surf the Internet. As for Whoosh Fox, since advertising on hao123, Whoosh Fox's traffic has risen rapidly, and now it has exceeded 100 million and has become the No.1 of the portal.

And because of the good performance of Whoosh Fox, in October 1998, that is, 8 months after the launch of Whoosh Fox, the "Person of the Year Selection Activity" of the US imperialist "Time Magazine" named Zhang Chaoyang one of the "50 Global Digital Heroes", ranking 36th.

This number is several times higher than Zhang Chaoyang's position in the previous life, and I remember that Zhang Chaoyang ranked 45th in the previous life. Zhou Xuan felt that Zhang Chaoyang's improvement in ranking was indispensable.

Seeing that Huanyu Technology should not be the master of bad money, Ruan Huamao's expectations for YY are even better.

Internet users like Ruan Huamao are playing all over the country, and they are looking forward to the moment when YY goes online.

Of course, Huanyu Technology not only advertised on Whoosh Fox and Hao123, but also advertised on Xinlang. Although Xinlang was only opened on November 1, Xinlang's strong network capital was vividly demonstrated within a few days of opening.

With the fame of the first Chinese website of foreign Chinese, as well as the traffic of more than ten forums of Bafang Litong, Xinlang.com opened ten days ago, and the number of visitors jumped to the top 15 of the national websites, which shocked the two major portals of Netyi and Fox.

In addition to these, such as the Whoosh Fox Forum, Shuimu Forum, Bafang Litong and other well-known forums, Zhou Xuan arranged for people to post to comprehensively publicize YY software.

In addition, the global Internet café management system is also on the computer Internet café across the country, and when the user enters the computer, an advertising pop-up window is forcibly popped up in the lower right corner. At the same time, at 11:11, the computer installed with the global Internet café management system will automatically install the YY software client.

Of course, when the owner of the Internet café purchased the Internet café management software, there were also provisions in the contract. According to the number of pop-up windows, each Internet café owner will be billed once a month for advertising at a price of 0.5 yuan. Of course, the owner of the Internet café has no problem with such an additional income.

Such hooliganism has no impact at all in this wild era of the Internet. Of course, it is impossible for Zhou Xuan to make pop-ups too frequent, and now at most, it is just a matter of using it when Huanyu Technology's products are launched.

It can be said that YY has not yet been launched, and it has left a deep impression in the hearts of many people across the country.

The time soon arrived at eleven o'clock in the morning, and in the conference room, Zhou Xuan and the others were staring at the computer screen and looking at the background statistics.

At 11:13, the data moved, and the number of downloads instantly reached 23, and the number of YY software registrations was still 0, of course, this statistic is only a 6-digit YY number.

Maybe it takes time to download, it takes time to register, and everyone is staring with bated breath.

At 11:15, the number of downloads reached 67, and the number of YY software registrations instantly reached 26.

At 11:20, the number of downloads reached 189 and the number of registrations reached 134.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the number of downloads reached 376 and the number of registrations reached 467.

Seeing that the number of registrations exceeded the number of downloads, Zhou Xuan knew that it must be the Internet café that started to register.

Looking at the surging number of registrations, Zhou Xuan knew that YY's first shot was a success.

And the first day of YY is the beginning, and then with the outbreak of word-of-mouth, the number of registrations is the time to soar.
