Chapter 112: Red Envelope Rain
YY cooperated with Alipay to open the red envelope function. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ma Teng and Zhou Hongyi, in line with the professional perspective and instinctive contempt of Internet people, inevitably feel that this function is just "a new layer of art design for Alipay's personal transfer function".
Even if Zhang Zhidong and Ren Yuxin reminded them that "the new feature will expand the audience and pull the little kids who can't join the Alipay system because they don't have a bank card into this circle."
But because Ma Teng in 05 does not have a full understanding of the combat effectiveness of primary school students, he still has doubts about whether YY red envelopes can attract a large number of users like the original "Everyone's Draft Like".
Only when history gives the final test results can Ma Teng be convinced.
……
Gossip is not over, and the day will soon come to the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, a Saturday. According to the Gregorian calendar, it is February 5th.
According to the state's holiday plan for the year, this weekend should have been to work as usual, and the rest day was moved back to make up the Golden Week with the Spring Festival holiday.
However, most companies that work overtime seasonally, especially Internet companies, tend to take two days off in advance to compensate employees for their excessive overtime because there are not many things to do when the end of the year is approaching.
YY Network Technology and Alipay, these companies, unsurprisingly, chose to hold their annual meeting at noon on this day, and then started the holiday in the afternoon.
Only the operation and maintenance department needs to keep people on duty, but the boss will definitely not treat them badly, they are all triple the salary plus an extra big red envelope.
After several years of development and growth, Gu Cheng has nearly 2,000 employees. (After all, it takes three or four hundred people to develop the game alone)
Perhaps because the industrial structure is relatively optimized - both involved in Internet content distribution platforms and creation platforms, the company under Gu Cheng's name has a large number of programmers, operators, and planners, as well as beautiful women in the entertainment industry.
Especially in 04, the "Girls' Generation" in cooperation with Wu Yue Satellite TV was a great success, and a large number of potential beauties from the draft were signed cheaply, and the successful experience of praising newcomers and beauties brought by "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" made Gu Cheng have much more beauty resources in his hands than in any previous year.
As a result, this year's co-organized annual meeting really made otaku programmers look forward to it.
The company's contracted artists Jolin Tsai, Zhao Liying, Jiang Xin, Yang Mi, and Sun Li will all take the stage to sing and perform.
These famous beauties didn't dare to be delusional, and they all took it for granted that they were already Gu Cheng's forbidden body.
But the beauties who are running tricks on the periphery and usually play bands with the company's main star singing and dancing bands can finally hook up.
The senior programmers of YY Network Technology and Alipay are the best candidates for a horizontal comparison of salaries in the domestic Internet circle. Even in 05 years, when prices were not skyrocketing, ordinary programmers had more than 10,000 yuan per month. Be the project team supervisor and manager, which is not starting from twenty or thirty thousand. Fifteen salaries a year is 300,000.
And for the beauty who is not famous, marrying an honest man with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan is also a winner in life, so this kind of annual meeting is an absolute win-win interaction, and the atmosphere is very warm.
The format of the annual meeting is a free-style cocktail party, and an indoor concert venue is rented and specially decorated. Everyone helps themselves casually and makes friends casually. So much so that everyone was busy hooking up with girls and men, and no one watched the performances on stage at all.
When Jolin Tsai came to power, she could calm the eyes of all men, and no one else had this skill.
The reception was held for more than an hour, and Jolin Tsai on the stage had just finished singing a song "Confession of a Mask", which won a slight stiffness from the men in the audience to show respect, and then left the venue gracefully.
The otaku were about to refocus their attention on the girls around them, but they found that the girls were all staring at the stage again and ignoring anyone. The otaku had no choice but to give up.
It turned out that Gu Cheng took advantage of the atmosphere and went on the stage in person.
"Come on, come on!" all the girls screamed.
"It's going to come, don't worry. Everyone has worked hard for a year, just waiting to see the boss make a fool of himself and vent, right?" Gu Cheng helped him and restrained the screams of the girls with gestures, "Let's get down to business first." Please take out your mobile phone, open the mobile version of YY, and click into the group of your respective company. Below, is the red envelope time. ”
In 05, although there are no smartphones, there are already mobile phones that can be pre-installed with mobile QQ, and naturally there is a mobile phone version of YY with comparable technical difficulty. Those who can run these customized software are mainly brands such as Samsung and Nokia. The domestic Xia Xin waveguide first letter has generally not solved the software compatibility technology in this regard.
It will take another half a year, to the second semester of 05, because MediaTek has released the licence of the MTK set platform, which has created the rise of the copycat machine industry in Asia. Since then, the model of PY trading and pre-installation business between various copycat machine manufacturers and software giants in the Internet industry has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. So that most netizens can use the mobile version of QQ or YY.
But Gu Cheng's employees, where are the poor? Even if it is for work, these people are generally at least 3,000 yuan a high-end mobile phone, which can afford to run YY.
So everyone took out their mobile phones and connected them to the mobile phone YY - today's mobile phones, there is no GPRS traffic switch, as long as you open the mobile phone WAP browser or mobile phone YY, you will start using the traffic by default. The WIFI feature is also non-existent.
"YY Network Technology, I will send a total of 10 million red envelopes this year, and everyone will see for themselves who has good Internet speed. There are few people here on Alipay, which means, 8 million...... Ah, it's not enough, then it's 10 million. ”
Gu Cheng had a little finger on his collar, just like buying vegetables in a vegetable market, and let his subordinates bargain. Everyone can get an extra 2 million (although it costs a lot of people) to coax together, and the trouble is even more heated for a while.
The girls of Eslite Film and Dingdang.com directly chose to scream.
On the stage, a projection screen was lowered behind Gu Cheng, and the projection content was the red envelope issuer, that is, the YY interface corresponding to the company's public account. Gu Cheng clicked on the computer, and then a huge red envelope appeared on the projection screen.
Due to the limitations of technology and security, there is no mobile version of Alipay today. Moreover, the online banking payment of major banks also requires U shield verification on the PC side, which cannot be verified on mobile phones.
Therefore, today's mobile phone YY can only grab red envelopes, and the hair still has to be sent to the computer. Considering that the function of "red envelopes" was born seven or eight years earlier than the same period in history, it can only be done like this for the time being.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Gu Cheng clicked the send button in public.
Then, surprise and wailing flew together, rejoicing and regretting together.
"Ah...... My internet speed is stuck! 6,000 yuan, which is lower than the average, right? I really hate I didn't buy a better phone. ”
"I'll go, it's not fair, why didn't you tell me earlier, I'm good to open the computer and even grab it on Wlan! My mobile phone doesn't even support GPRS!"
Although the number of red envelopes distributed by the company is based on the number of employees, everyone has a share. However, YY's group red envelope setting is different from the QQ/WeChat red envelope in parallel time and space, YY's red envelopes are sorted from more to less after being directly divided, and the faster you start, the more you grab. When you get home and turn on the computer to grab it, there must be only the smallest soup and water left.
(How much in chronological order, the biggest problem is that it will be unfair to encounter a plug-in or script that specializes in grabbing red envelopes.) But there is no such plug-in now, so you can wait for the plug-in problem to appear before rectifying)
"YES! I GRABBED THE LARGEST PORTION OF 30,000! LUCKILY AT THE MOMENT! LOOK! LOOK! NOW YOU KNOW THE BENEFITS OF USING UNICOM CDMA! THE INTERNET SPEED IS EIGHT TIMES FASTER THAN YOURS! TELL YOU NOT TO BUY SAMSUNG'S ANYCALL SERIES, GRAB A BAG AND COME BACK. ”
Gu Cheng smiled and watched the employees make a fuss, and after the momentum slowed down a bit, he half-jokingly released the "holiday task":
"Colleagues who have grabbed a big bag, should we do something for the promotion of the YY red envelope function during this holiday?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone knew that the money was not so easy to get, and they reacted quickly and said: When I go back, I will definitely send red envelopes to friends and children in the circle, and ensure that everyone I know will send them all over. When I was supposed to send a text message for New Year's greetings, this time I also switched to a more correct way of greeting New Year.
It is said that that night, tens of thousands of users on Renren shared a picture in the circle, with the content of "the right way to greet the New Year" and "the wrong way to greet the New Year".
The so-called wrong way is to use mobile phone text messages or QQ to say a lot of nonsense.
The correct way, naturally, is to throw a package directly.
After explaining how everyone greeted the New Year, Gu Cheng was squeezed by the employees and couldn't get off the stage, so he had to play and sing a song, which was his show, and the annual meeting ended happily.
Of course, it is impossible for him to count on his employees to spread such a big task as promoting the Alipay red envelope function.
The opening annual meeting to share tens of millions of company dividends with all employees is just a gimmick to fight a hot spot.
In a few years' time, when the status of Internet giants in the economic world has risen further, the annual meeting of a company like BAT will not attract the attention of countless news media.
At present, although BAT does not have this qualification, Gu Cheng's public appeal is definitely more than a notch higher than BAT, and he himself is high-profile, this kind of news is destined to be grabbed by countless people.
And taking advantage of this wave of media publicity with his own dry food, Gu Cheng is ready to take the initiative to send another big bag.
To all users who have opened Alipay, Renren Space and YY at the same time, there will be an indiscriminate red envelope rain. The total amount of each wave will reach hundreds of millions of yuan, which is not inferior to Jiwufu ten years later.
