Chapter 598: Defeat Feixin
"Ah, what's the situation?"
Seeing that he had been saturated online at the same time and no longer growing, Xu Lin had a bad feeling for a while. [.
If the market has peaked, saturation is normal.
But in fact, the market is far from saturation, and, judging from Penguin QQ, their number of people online at the same time is millions, on the other hand, Feixin, only about 500,000, where is saturation.
Xu Lin panicked, he didn't know what to do for a while?
When he was at ICQ, he didn't have too many problems with that.
At that time, ICQ was the world's first instant messaging software, and it was better than others in every aspect.
Even if MSN comes out to compete with them later, ICQ will have an advantage in a certain way.
But at this time, a newly launched Feixin made Xu Lin have some options.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel that he was not very suitable to be the CEO of Fetion.
Even, he didn't know why he suddenly rose to the idea that he hadn't actually understood instant messaging.
No, no, no......
Xu Lin hurriedly shook his head.
He was stunned by the thought of himself.
What did you do about it?
How could I not understand instant messaging?
When I was doing instant messaging, these guys were still drinking milk.
No, this qiē is all an illusion.
Xu Lin washed his face with cold water in the bathroom, and he calmed himself down.
In such a situation, a decision must be made.
The saturation of online at the same time means that people's interest in this instant messenger is not as good as before.
Then I should think of a way, at least, let them use Feixin when they have nothing to do.
Xu Lin began to ask the technician to prepare the Feixin game.
This Feixin game is almost the same game as QQ games.
He felt that the little fat who scolded him at that time was right, integrating games on instant messaging can increase the crushing power of instant messaging. At least, when everyone is playing games, they are also using Fetion.
However, after the launch of the Fetion game, it also suffered a failure.
There are a lot of people who don't want to play in the Fetion game?
What is the reason?
It's so simple.
Others say that in the QQ game, if you go in casually, there will be countless people rushing to play with you.
However, in the Fetion game, it takes a long time to go inside, and then wait for someone else to arrive.
It's still some of the most popular games, not to mention the lesser-known ones.
There was a Go player who wanted to find a few chess friends in Feixin, but he waited there for half an hour, but he didn't wait.
Helplessly, in the end, they didn't use the Feixin game to die, but continued to use their QQ game.
Of course, in addition to the Fetion game, they also got what Fetion mailboxes.
This Fetion mailbox can receive the phone bill usage in the mobile phone.
It's a pity that everyone's demand for checking phone bills is not large, and such mailboxes are still unattended.
In the end, Xu Lin really had no choice, so he directly upgraded the Feixin level from day to hour.
I thought that such an upgrade would make many people rush at once, even if it was hang-up, he was willing to accept it.
However, there was a difference between reality and Xu Lin's thoughts.
With the rollout of hourly upgrades, the number of concurrent users has not only not increased, but has dropped again.
480 thousand.
450,000.
430,000.
400,000.
In just a few days, the number of users has changed from 500,000 to 400,000.
It's not the worst.
The 400,000 simultaneous online people did not last long, and under Xu Lin's cheeky begging to move and then promote Feixin to them, the number of simultaneous online users of Feixin increased for a while. However, after a period of time, the number of 400,000 simultaneous online users could not be maintained, and it fell directly to more than 300,000.
The worst thing is a bad case caused by the large-scale theft of Feixin.
Speaking of which, things like instant messaging theft not only appeared on Feixin, but he also appeared on QQ for a long time.
Especially those friends who surf the Internet in Internet cafes, there are too many stolen numbers.
However, if QQ is stolen, the account will be stolen, and the damage is not big, and at most it will curse those hackers.
But Feixin was stolen, and it was not so simple.
Because the flight signal is connected to the mobile phone number, that is to say, the mobile phone number is the flight signal ma, the feixin number, that is, the mobile phone number. Moreover, when he buys goods in Feixin Mall on Feixin, he directly deducts the phone bill. Originally, when Zhang Xiaolong was serving as the chief technology officer, Zhang Xiaolong set it up for the sake of safety. When you buy items in the Feixin Mall, you need to send a text message on your mobile phone before you can apply for the effect.
It's just that after Zhang Xiaolong left, Xu Lin saw that there were very few Feixin members, so he directly omitted this text message measure. In the end, you don't need to use your mobile phone, and if you buy goods directly on Feixin, you will be directly deducted from the phone bill. As a result, this deduction led to the loss of the mobile phone or downtime, or arrears.
The impact of this incident was so great that even the TV station was directly involved.
Under the continuous complaints of countless mobile phone users and the exposure of countless TV stations and media, Feixin has been abandoned by countless people.
Even if Xu Lin urgently changed the settings back to the original need for SMS verification, it would be useless.
By this time, countless users no longer believe in Fetion.
They think that Feixin is not easy to use, and second, it has no function, and the most terrible thing is that he will accidentally deduct your phone bill. Don't be greedy for that little cheap little bit of free texting on your phone, and end up getting yourself into the pit.
As a result, the number of people who are online at the same time has plummeted.
Directly from the original more than 300,000, it fell to 100,000 online at the same time.
The most ironic scene may not be 100,000 online at the same time. Correspondingly, the number of registered Feixin users broke through the 70 million mark when the number of people online at the same time fell to 100,000.
The number of registered users has reached 70 million, but the number of people who are online at the same time is only 100,000.
This number came out, and it almost killed countless Internet companies.
Against the sky.
It's really against the sky.
The number of registrations against the sky, almost catching up with QQ.
However, the number of people online at the same time against the sky is not even one-tenth of QQ.
……
"Uncle, can you help me?"
Xu Lin almost cried and pleaded with his uncle Gao Jianqi.
"Xu Lin, you are really too angry."
Gao Jianqi was also so angry with Xu Lin that he almost vomited blood.
The good situation was actually operated like this by Xu Lin, and Gao Jianqi was embarrassed to face Wang Jianzhou recently.
"Uncle Gao, you must save me, for the sake of my father who once helped you, you must be on the board of directors, and you must say a few kind words for me. Otherwise, my position as CEO will definitely not be guaranteed. ”
Operate Feixin to only 100,000 online at the same time, Xu Lin also knows that his position as a CEO may come to an end. It's just that Xu Lin has deeply tried the taste of being a CEO in the past six months. This feeling of being above 10,000 people, all in charge of their own decisions, can be compared to what vice president at ICQ.
"Well, you, I can say a few words for you, but you have to find a suitable reason in the boardroom. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to give you an explanation. ”
"Thank you, thank you, Uncle Gao."
Xu Lin thanked him and came to the mobile board of directors with Gao Jianqi.
This time the board of directors held a meeting to discuss only one thing, and that was the issue of Feixin's operation.
Regarding the recent collapse in the number of people online at the same time in Feixin, Wang Jianzhou couldn't sit still anymore and proposed an application to replace Xu Lin's CEO. However, this proposal must be discussed with the board of directors and approved before it can be replaced.
"Okay, everyone, I don't want to say much about the rest, how is the Feixin online to now, I think you have also seen it. We have also given the resources that should be given to the mobile, but Feixin operates like this, and I think the CEO of Feixin is to blame. So, what do you think about the removal of Xu Lin Feixin as CEO of the company? ”
Wang Jianzhou said directly.
Of the three directors, the other two did not say anything and remained silent.
Wang Jianzhou looked at Gao Jianqi, he knew that Xu Lin was Gao Jianqi's person.
"Director Gao, I don't know what you think?"
Gao Jianqi is an official of the State Council and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, a representative of mobile shareholders, and at the same time, he also represents the government.
"This ......"
Gao Jianqi also looked ugly, but he recommended Xu Lin to arrest him, and if he was dismissed in this way, I am afraid that it would be very disadvantageous to himself. Hard-headed, he said, "I also feel that the recent Feixin watch is average, and it has not met our expectations. But, Jianzhou, you know. Penguin Technology in the domestic market has long been the first to do QQ, they are dominant, almost monopolizing the entire market, our Feixin watch Xiàn is not justified, and it is understandable. Of course, you're the CEO of mobile. What you said is also reasonable, but let's not ask the party Xu Lin's opinion, what do you think? ”
"Okay."
Wang Jianzhou nodded, and looked at Xu Lin again, "Manager Xu, what do you think?" ”
"Mr. Wang, I think what you said is inappropriate."
At the moment of life and death, Xu Lin knew that if he didn't find a good reason for himself, it would be absolutely doomed.
At this time, Xu Lin fully exerted his ingenuity and immediately said, "When Manager Zhang Xiaolong and Manager Zhang were there, he once mentioned it to me. Fetion is actually an immature instant messaging software, and it has a lot of limitations. For example, we send text messages to users for free, but mobile phone users charge us to text back. At the same time, our Fetion users cannot add Unicom users, nor can they add PHS users as friends. These are the key issues that hinder the development of Fetion. Of course, there are certain problems with our operations. However, at the root of the problem, it is not that we have a problem with our operations, but that there is a problem with our Fetion. Therefore, I think that even if I am removed and replaced by another CEO, it will not be able to operate well. ”
Hearing this reason, Gao Jianqi almost wanted to slap his face, and secretly shouted in his heart, this guy is very smart at a critical moment.
After Xu Lin finished speaking, Gao Jianqi immediately said, "Jianzhou, Manager Xu is also very reasonable. I think we'll wait a little longer. Moreover, Jianzhou, an expert in instant messaging, is really not a few in China. Although Manager Xu is not particularly good, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a better professional manager than Manager Xu. ”
"Since Director Gao said so, well, let's observe for a while."
Unexpectedly, Wang Jianzhou did not object this time, but nodded.
However, after Wang Jianzhou agreed, he immediately said, "I think Director Gao also knows a lot about instant messaging, and in addition, Manager Xu was recommended by Director Gao, and I will appoint Director Gao as the chairman of Feixin, and I will no longer hold the position of chairman of Feixin, and everyone can vote by a show of hands." If I do not agree, I will personally apply to the chairman of the group. ”
Saying that, Wang Jianzhou was the first to raise his hand, "I agree." ”
The other two directors seemed to have discussed with Wang Jianzhou a long time ago, and they also raised their hands to express their attitude.
In the end, Gao Jianqi was left.
His face was suddenly extremely ugly, as if there was no trace of blood, and it was very pale.
It's just that, looking at the hands raised by Wang Jianzhou and the other two directors, Gao Jianqi was helpless, and he also raised his hand to agree.
