Chapter 410: Office Building

Cloud computing and big data are also just emerging in the United States, not to mention the mainland. With the help of the disaster relief operation, Jiangyan suddenly pushed Weibo Cloud and Ba Snake system to popular searches, and began business expansion.

One of the simplest business models of Weibo Cloud is to rent cloud space to users. All Weibo users can get a cloud disk, at the beginning there is only 2G space, and becoming a Weibo member can get 2T space.

In fact, there isn't that much space to share with users because a lot of files are shared. If the same movie is uploaded to the cloud disk by multiple people, Weibo Cloud will only keep one movie to ensure the efficiency of Weibo Cloud to the greatest extent.

Another business model is to rent the computing function of the snake from small start-up teams and small companies. Renting the Basnake computing function can enter some very complicated work of Weibo cloud computing, so that some small teams without equipment conditions can complete more complex work. If you want to use this function, in addition to being a Weibo member, you will pay an additional amount of money according to the amount of calculation for each use.

There are also some commercial applications, because the domestic market is not mature enough, Jiangyan itself is not capable, and it cannot be developed temporarily. If you want to get more benefits, you also need more powerful hardware facilities and software functions, which will take some time to develop.

"Chairman, we're running out of space. Du Zhenhua reported the bad news that when the company was first built, the five-story main building and two three-story annex buildings were more than enough, but as the number of people in various departments increased, it was now crowded.

Every product launched in the company brings huge benefits but also brings huge burdens, such as customer service. Weibo cloud and Ba snake system were born, making customer service work much busier, and recruiting new people is inevitable.

Today, the number of customer service department has reached more than 980 people, which is a very large organization. Among them, more than 200 people were obtained by merging their customer service departments after the acquisition of Jiangnan Mall.

"Well, we need to build a modern office building that can accommodate about 5,000 people. In addition, there are computer rooms dedicated to cross-server companies and Weibo cloud services, so it is best to choose a region with stable power and network supply. Hang Yu said.

"I'll take someone to the site right away. Du Zhenhua said.

In the past, the network was disconnected for a day, which caused the loss of millions of cross-servers, and Hang Yu also realized the importance of power and network stability. Not every region has the same stable network, and it needs to be selected according to the needs of all aspects.

The construction of new computer rooms and office buildings will undoubtedly cost a huge amount of money.

Although a lot of money has been invested recently, with the success of the sales of cats mobile phones, the funds are gradually coming back. Sales in the mainland still reached more than 270,000 units, and sales in Africa and Central Asia also reached more than 240,000 units, with a profit of about 200 million yuan.

The first mobile phone sold so much, it was a great success, and it is still on sale. However, at this time, the sales volume has decreased a lot, after all, the people who want to buy it have basically bought it, and the rest is only to expand slowly.

Mobile phone sales are only a small part of the company's profits, and the main profits are still purchasing agents and Weibo members. At this time, the number of Weibo members reached more than 16 million, and the monthly membership fee alone was 500 million, and the original reward also had more than 70 million income.

The ratio of the number of members to ordinary users is about 9:1, and this ratio can be reached in the case of high membership fees, of course, it is not only the charm of Weibo itself. There are also four products around Weibo, cross-server games, and Weibo Cloud and Ba Snake, which have just been promoted.

If Hang Yu does not link these products, but make profits separately, it will actually be more profitable. This fee and that fee, of course, earn more than voluntary tipping, and if the membership function cannot be shared, it can also earn several times more.

However, in that case, it is absolutely impossible for the number of Weibo users to exceed 100 million in such a short period of time. If the development of Weibo is too slow, it will die under the suppression of Tencent, and there is no way to make a profit.

"This Hang Yunshan's vision is too vicious, and the two games are so popular. On the other hand, our company finally signed the Sword of Excellence, but it turned out to be lost to a 2D side-scrolling game. "Some people are happy and some are sad, and the old horse has not been in a good mood recently.

Sword of Excellence was very popular at first, but after a period of operation, due to the company's equipment and operation methods, as well as the problems of the game itself, the users of Sword of Excellence quickly lost.

Lao Ma asked someone to investigate the operation of the two games, CF and DNF, and the results surprised him, because both games were successful, and the number of online players was both rushing to "millions".

You must know that when the legend was the most popular back then, the number of people online at the same time was less than 700,000, and at this time, DNF had reached more than 760,000, while CF had been operating for a short time, and the number of people online at the same time was more than 400,000.

When Jiang Yan first won CF, this game was not so fun, and many subtle operations were different from what Hang Yu remembered, and many suggestions and complaints were received in several internal tests.

So Hang Yu discussed with the South Korean side, hoping that they could improve it, but the South Korean side refused to improve it on the grounds that the game had been bought out, or paid a huge update fee to be willing to help.

Of course, Hang Yu didn't want to waste money, so according to his memory, he asked the cross-server company and NetDragon's development team to join forces and make many improvements to CF together, and the CF in Hang Yu's memory was really completed during the open beta.

At this time, Hang Yu realized that it was no wonder that this game did not perform well in Hanbok.

"Hang Yunshan's vision is good, but his appetite is too big, and he buys out for ten years, and it is unknown whether the agent can make money in ten years. At present, the most important thing is to re-represent a game, or modify the Sword of Excellence to meet the appetite of domestic players. Zhang Zhidong, one of Tencent's main founders, is Tencent's chief technology officer, said.

Compared with Zhang Zhidong and Fu Lei, of course, Zhang Zhidong is better, no matter whether it is technical or management ability, Fu Lei is not as good as him. However, Fu Lei has an advantage, that is, he is highly obedient, as the general manager of a technology company, he never takes a big deal in front of Hang Yu, and there are no unnecessary disagreement suggestions.

What Hang Yu needs is not an assertive and capable CTO like Zhang Zhidong, but someone like Fu Lei.

Only for Hang Yu, Fu Lei is better than Zhang Zhidong.

"We don't have the money to re-enact a game, Sword of Excellence itself is still very good, but some of the settings are not appetizing. In this case, let's discuss with the Korean side and make some improvements to the game. The old horse said.

"I think so too. Zhang Zhidong nodded.

With the rapid rise of Weibo and the number of real users exceeding 100 million, Lao Ma has begun to be anxious.
