Chapter 151: Recent Situation of the Campus Network

On December 1, 2001, the campus network was officially opened for registration, and the number of registrations exceeded 100,000 on that day.

Since then, it has grown at an average rate of 10,000 new users per day, and in just half a year, the total number of registered users of the campus network has exceeded 2 million.

On March 5, 2002, the campus network was fully architected and optimized for performance.

On May 15, 2002, a new feature was added to the website, Personal Diary.

On June 18, 2002, the video function was launched, and all registered users can upload short videos with a size of no more than 50 MB.

..........

Aihua Technology has also expanded to 48 people, you know, for a nascent Internet company, this number is not small.

With the server costs required for the growth of the website and the salary expenses brought about by the increase in employees, the speed of burning money is getting faster and faster, and last month Aihua Technology spent 4.6 million yuan, and the income was zero.

In such a high expenditure, employee salaries and daily expenses account for only a fraction of the expenses, and most of the remaining funds are burned on the campus network.

The document is a full three pages, Xu Inscription is written in detail, Wang Haoran carefully from the beginning to the end, and has a detailed understanding of the current state of Aihua Technology.

At the end of the document, Xu inscription reads in a larger font: As of July 31, 2002, there were 2,315,000 registered users of the campus network, 1.8 million active accounts in the last week, and an average online time of one and a half hours.

Wang Haoran gently closed the folder, leaned on the back of the chair, and unconsciously knocked on the desktop with one hand, his next actions had a great impact on Aihua, and he had to think carefully about it.

Knock, knock.

Wang Haoran was thinking about the next action and there were three knocks on the door, Wang Haoran knew that the person who came was definitely not Xu Mingwen, not to mention that Xu Mingwen knew that he was in the office, he didn't need to be so polite to himself, Xu Mingwen would not come back so soon, smoking or something was just an excuse for himself to think alone here.

"Come in."

"Hello chairman."

It was Bai Xiaolu who came in, said hello, lowered his head, and didn't look at Wang Haoran, standing there helplessly.

Yes, this stupid girl really took her jokes seriously, Wang Haoran smiled slightly: "Sit down first, let's talk about it, we can be regarded as acquaintances." ”

Hearing Wang Haoran say this, Bai Xiaolu relaxed, slowly sat opposite Wang Haoran, raised his head and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet, the top student in the college entrance examination, you are much more powerful than I was at the beginning." ”

Wang Haoran waved his hand: "This is not important, a good job in the college entrance examination can only prove that a person has some talent in learning, and cannot represent a person's future achievements." ”

With a humble word, Wang Haoran looked at Bai Xiaolu and said, "It seems that you don't have to worry about not being suitable for this job." ”

Bai Xiaolu in front of her was a little more angry than when she saw it for the first time, the red and white little shirt with the pink princess dress made the whole person look generous and cheerful, and said with a grateful smile on her face: "Well, the work is very easy, and my colleagues are also very enthusiastic, I am very happy, thank you." ”

Wang Haoran smiled and said: "That's good, thank you you don't have to, it's a gesture, and besides, it was because of me that you lost your job." ”

Bai Xiaolu said: "It has nothing to do with you, besides, someone else will definitely not care about me." ”

Wang Haoran said: "Listen, Mr. Xu said that you are now in charge of the customer service work of the campus network?" How does it feel? What are the most customer service calls you receive on a regular basis? ”

Bai Xiaolu nodded, thought for a moment and said, "The most received calls are complaints about the inability to log in to the account. ”

Wang Haoran knows this, Wang Haoran explained to the technical department a long time ago, once it is found that those users who spread vulgar and obscene (and) obscene (harmonious) information, the first time they find that the website will automatically delete the content and send a message warning in the background, and the second time they find that they directly prohibit users from logging in.

The relevant laws and regulations of the nascent industry of the Internet are not perfect, at this time, as long as you search in the search engine, you can search all kinds of small video websites, and even some website servers are set up in China, and the imperfection of the Internet system has also led to a large number of island artists being known by Chinese netizens.

"There is a well in the sky alone, and the stars fall in the sky and the river reflect the pupils", "I don't know Muto Lan in my life, and it is in vain to read all the A. movies" and other smooth slips are even more familiar.

But as Wang Haoran, who has come over, knows that this phenomenon is short-lived, as the country attaches importance to the Internet, not only will a department be set up to manage the Internet, but also gradually improve the relevant laws and regulations, and after a while, not to mention the people who start these websites, even if they are arrested for watching small videos at home, it can be seen that the management is strict.

It is not known how many of them are unlucky because of this, so Wang Haoran must put an end to this phenomenon from the beginning, and he will not show mercy to registered users who violate the regulations.

A company boss, a small employee, there are really not many things to talk about at work, and it is not suitable for small talk during working hours, so after talking about this problem, Bai Xiaolu left the office.

After an hour or so, Xu Mingwen returned to the office slowly, still carrying a dark plastic bag in his hand, the bag contained two cups of Coke, Xu Mingwen handed Wang Haoran a cup and said: "Here, please drink Coke, this weather, this thing is still enjoyable." ”

Wang Haoran glanced at Xu Mingwen's increasingly bloated belly, and said with a smile: "You better drink less Coke, you don't eat foreign garbage in the United States to gain weight, but come back to drink Coke and drink to become a big fat man, which of your American classmates don't think that we only have Coke in Greater China!" ”

Xu Mingwen didn't care about Wang Haoran's ridicule, touched the fat on his stomach, and said: "Hey, it seems that I am going to lose weight, I have really gained a lot of weight recently, I sit in the office every day, I am so busy that I will fall asleep when I return to the rental house after work." ”

Wang Haoran said: "Brother Xu has worked hard, I'll give you a secretary in a few days, by the way, who did you say on the phone that you were very interested in the campus network?" ”

Wang Haoran said that he had a secretary for himself, which made Xu Mingwen a little surprised, I don't know if it was a spur of the moment, but it was the latter question Xu Mingwen knew that Wang Haoran was not talking casually.

Wang Haoran has several important things to discuss with himself this time, among which the direction of these things is money, and the funds required are not something that Wang Haoran will be able to come up with for a while.

Xu Mingwen put down the Coke in his hand and said, "Zhou Quan, the executive president of the continental region of the American International Data Group, I met him at an investment and employment event held by Jiaotong University last weekend. ”

The name International Data Group may make many people not know what this company does, but to say another name is like thunder.

The United States International Data Group is IDG, and Tencent's first venture capital came from IDG.

As for Zhou Quan, Wang Haoran has also heard that the CEO of IDG China is the one who advocated investing in Tencent in 1999, which shows his vision.

However, IDG and Hong Kong Yingke invested a total of 2.2 million US dollars to poach 40% of Tencent's shares, which was really profitable, and Wang Haoran would not let the other party take such a big advantage even if he was short of money.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Wang Haoran looked calm, as if he didn't know what IDG was, "How interested is he in our campus network?" ”
