Chapter 107: Buying Users
"Three, three, three million five hundred and seventy thousand? Three million five hundred and seventy thousand? You are fucking more and more unreliable now! Let me inquire about the number of registrations on the first day of QQ, you can't do this little thing well, and you take a fake list to lie to me, I think you are tired of staying in the company, right?" Zuo Lengxiang smashed the list on the secretary's head and said angrily.
The secretary squatted down silently, picked up the list again, put it on Zuo Lengxiang's desk and said: "Left, Mr. Zuo, this is not a fake list, QQ was issued on the first day, and the number of registrations in 24 hours is indeed 3.57 million, such a terrifying data, if I don't dare to confirm it, I won't get it in front of you." ”
Listening to the secretary's words, the corners of Zuo Lengxiang's mouth twitched, and he fell on his boss's chair with a weak face.
Then he muttered: "The number of first-day registrations is 3.57 million, 3.57 million! How is this possible, I have worked hard for more than 10 years, and the number of all active users added up is not more than one-third of the number of registrations on the first day. You go and check it out for me, how did they reach more than 3 million downloads on the first day of launch, and the number of users who have a demand for online chat in the country will not exceed 3 million, how can they have so many first-day registrations!"
After listening to Zuo Lengxiang's words, the secretary withdrew without saying a word.
In this world, web chat tools are a niche tool, and that's a well-known thing.
For more than a decade, the largest number of single-day registrations for online chat tools was more than 14,000 single-day registrations set by YY seven years ago when it changed servers.
Then, this number was refreshed by YY itself to more than 100,000.
Zuo Lengxiang thought that the number of 100,000 single-day registrations would be unprecedented, and there would be no one to come.
But they couldn't have imagined that only a day had passed, and this record was refreshed again by their competitor QQ.
And what makes them feel even more incredible is that the new high number of single-day registrations set by QQ has reached more than 30 times the latest record.
With this kind of terrifying data, it's no wonder that Zuo Lengxiang doesn't believe it.
It's like a high jump, and the world record holder is two meters tall.
But all of a sudden, a man came, and he jumped seventy or eighty meters at once.
This kind of thing, whoever it is, will not believe it.
Of course, although I don't believe in this new record set by QQ in my heart, the facts are in front of him, and Zuo Lengxiang's heart is still very frightened.
Even at this moment, Zuo Lengxiang had the idea of contacting Banyuanjun.
At the same time, he also regretted his refusal to buy his YY by Banyuanjun.
If QQ's more than 3 million single-day registrations are the real number, then QQ crushing its own YY is as simple as crushing an ant.
In this case, it is better to find Banyuanjun now and express his willingness to sell YY.
It's just that when he thought of his cynicism towards Banyuanjun at the beginning, Zuo Lengxiang suddenly stopped his thoughts.
QQ, which was founded by Banyuanjun, may be a counterattack to his ridicule at the beginning, and now that things have not been clarified, he will contact him, isn't this a face to hit him.
Thinking of this, Zuo Lengxiang decided to wait a while, or figure things out first.
What if QQ's more than 3 million first-day registrations are for the sake of looking good, and they deliberately spend money to find someone to brush it out.
And at this moment, unlike Zuo Lengxiang's heart full of apprehension, in Banyuanjun's TX Building, everyone was happy, and the sound of cheers came and went.
Three million 24-hour first-day downloads and 3.57 million first-day registrations, these two numbers can be called a miracle in the chat software industry!
Of course, not to mention the unpopular chat software industry, even if it is a very popular, widely publicized game, and everyone is looking forward to it, the number of downloads and registrations on the first day can reach so much, which is also a very proud thing.
Banyuanjun is also very happy.
The nearly 20 days of hard work have finally been in vain.
In his previous life, Lao Ma used time to boil out the success of QQ.
In this world, Banyuanjun is rich and unwilling to spend as much time waiting as Lao Ma, so he directly uses money to promote the development of QQ.
Now it seems that his more than 5 million promotion and publicity expenses have not been unjustly spent.
Although more than 5 million is more than 3 million registrations, it seems that the money is a bit too much.
But that's not how the actual numbers work.
These more than 3 million registrations are only the number of registrations on the first day of product launch.
In the future, although it is expected that this number will gradually decline, the total number of registrations will definitely continue to grow steadily.
And for Banyuanjun or for QQ, what they lack the most is the first wave of users.
Once you have the first wave of users, it will be easy to form a word-of-mouth effect.
Moreover, as long as Banyuanjun follows some of the most classic paths of QQ in the previous life, the radiation of QQ will far exceed that of these indigenous social software in this world.
You know, the most powerful thing about QQ in the previous life is that once users think it's easy to use, they will spontaneously promote this software to their relatives or friends around them.
In this way, with the first wave of users, Banyuanjun doesn't have to worry about not having the next users.
Now, QQ's first-day registered users have reached more than 3 million, so according to this momentum, in the next ten days, even if the number of registered users in a single day will decrease slightly, it will reach more than 20 million registered users.
With 20 million users as the base, it is not time to do anything with half the effort.
There was a brief pause in the cheers of the TX Building.
Then, everyone erupted in even louder cheers.
The reason is very simple, that is, Banyuanjun has a great recognition of everyone's hard work during this time, and announced that this month, everyone will be paid an extra ten percent of their salary as a bonus.
In addition, after work in the evening, he will invite everyone to a restaurant for dinner to celebrate.
Since Zuo Lengxiang knew the number of QQ registrations in a single day, he has been restless.
I was irritable, so I walked out of the office, intending to walk around the company.
But what made him feel stuffy was that as soon as he went out, he saw that QQ was running on the secretary's computer, and judging from the beating images of his friends list, at least a dozen people with beautiful images had sent him messages.
Seeing this, Zuo Lengxiang's heart suddenly felt as uncomfortable as eating stool.
As the secretary of the president of YY, you actually use a competitor's product in private, which is simply a great insult to yourself.
Angrily sat down in front of the secretary's computer, and waited for a long time before the secretary came over with a stack of materials.
"Boss, why did you come out?" asked the secretary with the information stunned.
As soon as he said this, Zuo Lengxiang stood up angrily, slapped the table and said, "If I don't come out, how would I know that there is such an anti-bone boy as you in the company!"
Zuo Lengxiang's voice was very loud, and many people in the office area looked over.
The secretary asked a little overwhelmed: "Zuo, Mr. Zuo, you must have misunderstood something, right?"
"I misunderstood your mother! As an employee of YY, you actually use a competitor's product in private, what kind of behavior are you? You eat something outside the inside!" Zuo Lengxiang pointed to the secretary's nose and scolded.
The secretary explained with a stunned face: "Mr. Zuo, you misunderstood me, I came to find QQ vulnerabilities according to your arrangement!
"Fuck your mother's fart!, understand the opinion, then why do you only add women and not men?" Zuo Lengxiang said angrily.
The secretary said with a look of grievance: "Mr. Zuo, I did send some men friend applications, but I have a picture of a big man, after they read it, they didn't add it! I was about to build a few female accounts to add male friends, and you arranged for me to check the number of QQ registrations, which was delayed!
As the secretary spoke, he clicked on the messages of several QQ friends.
Zuo Lengxiang took a look, and sure enough, the content of the secretary's chat with them was as he said, asking them why they used QQ.
Seeing this, Zuo Lengxiang suddenly became embarrassed.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't you work to see a few handfuls?"
After listening to Zuo Lengxiang's words, all the employees looked away.
"Have you checked the matter of QQ registration?" Zuo Lengxiang casually diverted from the topic just now.
Although he wronged the secretary and scolded him, it was impossible to get Zuo Lengxiang to apologize to a mere secretary.
A trace of resentment flashed in the secretary's eyes, but soon, he returned to normal, and said calmly as if nothing had happened just now: "Mr. Zuo, I really found some eyebrows, the number of downloads and registrations of QQ, there is too much water in it!"
"What do you say? Is it spending money to buy registration? Ma Dan, they QQ is really rich, ten registration numbers for one dollar, more than three million registration numbers, that is, nearly 400,000 yuan, this money is spent like a waste, they are really willing!" Zuo Lengxiang said with a really such expression.
However, things were not what he thought.
The secretary said: "No, Mr. Zuo, although they spent money to buy the registration number, but the way of buying is different from others, they buy the fans of the group of authors who start the point, let the author help promote QQ, under the guise of being able to communicate face-to-face with fans in QQ, to trick fans into downloading their software!"
As he spoke, the secretary told Zuo Lengxiang all the information he had found.
This kind of information is really easy to check.
Just add a few people as friends, ask them why they set up a QQ number, and you will know everything.
After listening to the fans' words, Zuo Lengxiang was silent for a while, then stood up, clapped his hands and said: "Haha! I know that they QQ is taking a crooked path, this method of deceiving everyone is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, and when fans find out that they have been deceived, they are destined to uninstall QQ in large numbers, and now they look very beautiful, and when users uninstall their products, they will know that they are amazing!"
At this moment, Zuo Lengxiang's heart, which was still hanging just now, was completely relaxed.
QQ's practice of spending money to buy users is, in his opinion, meaningless at all.
When these users find out that QQ has deceived them, they will definitely uninstall QQ, and at that time, QQ will not get anything except spending money to buy a lot of useless user data that occupies memory.
Thinking of this, Zuo Lengxiang walked towards the office leisurely.
It's already afternoon, and I don't know if Xiao Yueyue got up or not.
