The birth of the "Zhen" system is to generate income.

It can be said that Su Rui never thought that it would still be free from the very beginning when he launched the "Zhen" system.

For him, upgrading the "Zhen" system at that time was just to find a profitable direction for Lightyear Technology and achieve profitability as soon as possible, so that he could invest enough funds for the development of chip projects without relying on other subsidiaries all the time.

Therefore, the existence of the Zhen system is itself for profit, not for other purposes.

Of course, Su Rui also knows that in the Internet era, free is the most expensive, especially in terms of mobile phone software, free use can often bring greater benefits, but one thing is undeniable is that even if free can bring huge profits, it is not possible to achieve it in a short time.

This means that if the Zhen system is still free, it will not be profitable in the short term, on the contrary, in order to continue to operate, it will need to keep investing money in it.

It's just that this time it goes against the original intention, not only can it not bring benefits to Lightyear Technology, but it needs additional investment, so that Lightyear Technology's already tight capital chain will have bigger problems and greater pressure.

In such a situation, Su Rui also vetoed the free "Zhen" system, and was ready to charge for it.

Only by charging directly can the Zhen system directly generate revenue, thus solving the financial pressure of Lightyear Technology.

Even if this is done, it will slow down the user growth rate of the "Zhen" system a lot, but considering the financial situation of Lightyear Technology, Su Rui has to do this, and he can only choose the road of charging, and there is no way to use it for free like Android and iOS, but will be charged like Microsoft's operating system.

Of course, Su Rui also knows that Internet users are actually accustomed to being free, especially in the mobile phone system, and they are even more accustomed to being free.

This time, if the "Zhen" system charges, it may make many users unaccustomed, users who do not have this consumption habit, it is likely to use other operating systems, the higher the charge, the greater the possibility of being abandoned by users.

Su Rui is also very clear about this, and he also knows that even if the "Zhen" system has to be charged, it cannot be too expensive, and it must be within the user's acceptance, so that more users can be impressed, so that they can choose to pay to continue to use it, rather than directly uninstalling the "Zhen" system.

Fees are inevitable, but the fees must not be too high and will not make users feel too distressed, so that users can be retained.

As long as the cost of using the "Zhen" system is not too high, but within the acceptable range of everyone, coupled with the advantages of the "Zhen" system itself, it can still retain most of the users, so as to ensure that the "Zhen" system can be developed, and can create revenue for Lightyear Technology Company, so as to continue the development of chip projects.

This was Su Rui's goal at the beginning, and this original intention has not changed.

However, even if he will charge, he will not charge immediately, at least until there are certain users, and then end the free use, so as to start the official charge.

If you choose to charge when you go online at the beginning and don't have any users, then most people won't download the "Zhen" system, and directly ignore the "Zhen" system, for example, Zhang Zhiyong won't download and install the "Zhen" system because of curiosity, and he won't recommend the "Zhen" system on the Sky Forum, and now it hasn't exceeded 10,000 activations.

Therefore, in the absence of a certain user group, the charge is definitely looking for death, even if the advantage of the "Zhen" system is indeed great, but if you choose to charge at the beginning, it may take a long time to develop, and it is impossible to accumulate 10,000 activated users on the first day.

For Su Rui, the "Zhen" system can exceed 10,000 activations on the first day of its official launch, which is actually very surprising to him.

At the beginning, his goal was to obtain dozens of activations in just the first day, which was already quite satisfactory to him, and now he exceeded 10,000 activations, which was hundreds of times higher than his previous goal.

However, the main reason why the "Zhen" system can get more than 10,000 activations on the first day is because of Zhang Zhiyong's strong recommendation and the top of the whole section of the Sky Forum, which is the main reason for attracting a large number of users.

From this point of view, Zhang Zhiyong and the recommendation of the Sky Forum are indispensable, and they have played a great role in the promotion of the "Zhen" system.

Indirectly, it can also be seen that the advantages of the "Zhen" system are indeed many, which can attract users to install and use, if the "Zhen" system itself is not good enough, even if Zhang Zhiyong and the Sky Forum bring more traffic to the "Zhen" system, it will not be able to retain users, and there is no way to break through 10,000 activations in the end.

Therefore, the advantages of the Zhen system itself and the recommendation of the Sky Forum are indispensable, and only by combining these two can the Zhen system exceed 10,000 activations on the first day.

In this day, there are 10,000 users, which is equivalent to a good start, which is a good result.

For such a result, Su Rui can be said to be overjoyed, he believes that with such a start, the "Zhen" system is not far from the time when it really takes off, it can be regarded as just around the corner, and the future prospects are bright.

In order to thank the Sky Forum, he directly charged 10,000 yuan in the forum and bought forum coins, one yuan is equivalent to 100 forum coins, and 10,000 yuan can buy one million forum coins.

If Su Rui buys forum coins from others on the black market, 10,000 yuan can buy 1.3 million forum coins, but this is meaningless for the forum, plus it is troublesome, he doesn't care about the extra two or three hundred thousand forum coins, so he directly buys forum coins through the recharge entrance of the forum.

After buying forum coins, he scattered wealth in his own posts, that is, he recommended the post of the "Zhen" system to scatter wealth, each user can receive 88 forum coins, and Zhang Zhiyong's post, he also gave users a lot of money, this behavior made these two posts popular again, and the number of replies was a lot more.

Here at Sky Forum, it's a tradition to scatter money.

The users of the Sky Forum, when they encounter something good, will come to the forum to scatter money, some are to thank you, and some are hoping to get blessings, the people who scatter the wealth are happy, and the users who receive the coins are equally happy, this tradition is still quite good.
