> the next day, Zhang Ning and Chen Qingqing came to the company early.

Holding back his excitement, Zhang Ning once again took a look at the number of downloads of QQ and the number of jù online at the same time.

3000 downloads, 200 simultaneous online people.

The number of downloads is almost 2,000 more than last night, and the number of people online at the same time is 200. It's a little less than last night's 300, but it's also very good, after all, it's 8 o'clock in the morning, and many people won't log on to QQ so early. And now it is 2000, many of you are surfing the Internet in Internet cafes, or in the company, not like the future generations can log in to QQ anytime and anywhere. I believe that by noon or evening, then the number of people will increase.

For this reason, Zhang Ning landed on Tianya again to see the advertisement he posted on the Tianya forum last night.

"Damn, there are so many people."

This look is terrible, Tianya is already talking about QQ crazy.

Many pages, including some places that are not computer technology, are talking about QQ, an instant messenger.

Moreover, the advertising stickers I sent before were also refined.

No wonder, no wonder.

I said how could more than 300 people be online at once last night, and it turned out that they were all netizens on the side of the Tianya Forum.

It seems that the strength of advertising on the website is still quite powerful.

Thinking in his heart, Zhang Ning said to Chen Qingqing, "Sister Qing, you can help me check the advertising quotations of the three major portals." ”

"Okay."

Chen Qingqing nodded, found a random computer, and started to work.

Zhang Ning, on the other hand, temporarily became a customer service.

Because, in Zhang Ning's settings, all users who have just registered, they have added a customer service ID with an account number of 999.

Naturally, this 999 was temporarily landed by Zhang Ning.

"Wow, your QQ is so good, I like it very much."

This is a message sent by a user to Zhang Ning last night.

"Thank you for your support, and I hope to recommend your friends to come over."

If it were a later generation, Tencent would naturally not have such QQ online customers. Even if there is, it won't get into the QQ friend column. Because, in the face of hundreds of millions of users, even the entire Tencent employees cannot answer so many questions. However, because QQ has just been launched, for the sake of users and promotion, Zhang Ning can only do this.

"Your QQ is great, it's very powerful, it's amazing."

"Thank you......"

That's all there is to reply, but of course, there are other features that are explained.

However, there are some problems that Zhang Ning has some difficult explanations. For example, some users reacted, saying that QQ's account number is 8 digits, which is too difficult to remember. And said that their OICQ number, bubble number, are all 5 digits, and the longest is also 6 digits. I hope QQ can also be improved and convenient for users.

It's just that for this, Zhang Ning can only smile bitterly.

Now that instant messaging has just developed, many people don't know much about the value of QQ numbers. However, in later generations, Zhang Ning was clear. Not to mention any 5-digit accounts, even if they are 6-digit or 7-digit accounts, they are very precious. I remember once when I was donating to public welfare, Tencent took out an 88888 account number, and it was bought by someone else at a price of 200,000 yuan on the spot. It can be seen that these accounts are precious. If it was provided to them at this time, then Zhang Ning would not cry to death.

Obviously, now Ma Huateng, including NetEase Bubbles, they have not yet understood what the value of virtual accounts is. At most, some of them just restricted some special numbers and did not allow them to register. Like 4-digit ones, there are all kinds of 88888, 9999, 11111...... and so on.

Shaking his head, Zhang Ning could only answer, "Actually, it's not difficult to remember the 8-digit number, and you can remember it after using it a few more times." ”

Not to mention 8 bits. In later generations, 9, 10, no one said it was too difficult to remember.

It all depends on how often it is used.

If you use it every day in the future, I'm afraid you will remember the 20 digits. But if you don't use it much, you may forget jì for 5 digits.

After working as a customer service for three hours, Zhang Ning finally stopped at about 12 noon.

At this time, Chen Qingqing also sorted out the advertising costs of the three major portals.

"Xiao Ning, the advertising costs of the three major portals have been sorted out and printed."

Chen Qingqing handed over the list to Zhang Ning and said, "At present, Sina has the largest traffic among the three major portals, and their advertising expenses are also the largest. The front page headline ad is about 100,000 yuan a day. The price of other image advertising space fluctuates around 50,000 yuan per day, while text advertising ranges from 5,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan. ”

"Damn, it's so expensive."

Hearing this number, Zhang Ning couldn't stop feeling a pain in his flesh.

Just asking for that front-page headline advertisement, after a month, I'm afraid it will cost more than 3 million.

Not to mention, you're not just playing on Sina.

If you really want to spend money, I'm afraid that the 20 million I earned will have to be spent in a month.

Sure enough, the internet is the most money-burning.

Probably also saw Zhang Ning's pain, Chen Qingqing continued, "In addition to Sina, the price of Sohu is less than that of Sina, but the advertising cost of the front page headlines also needs about 90,000 yuan, and NetEase is the lowest, only 80,000 yuan per day." ”

"Well, it's all about the same."

Although NetEase has 20,000 less, it is about the same for the whole month.

Anyway, though. This advertising fee is expensive, Zhang Ning still has to fight. After all, now that OICQ has been launched for more than a year, if their QQ wants to overtake in corners and beat their OICQ, they can only spend money on advertising first.

Of course, it is impossible to defeat OICQ all at once after spending money on advertising, but Zhang Ning must do so.

"By the way, Xiao Ning, in addition to the three major portals, I also asked about the price in other forums. Like Tianya Forum, Chinese Forum, 21, and Maopuwang...... Their advertising costs are relatively low. Taking Tianya Forum as an example, the advertising cost of the headlines on the front page of their forum is only about 30,000 yuan a month...... Some other small and medium-sized forum sites are also about the same price. ”

"I know, but these sites are too restrictive."

Whether it is Tianya or Chinese, or even 21, their IP flow is not very large. Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be many users converted by advertising there. Just like the Tianya Forum, Zhang Ning posted an advertisement there last night. And when I got up the next day, I saw that my post had been refined and put on the top. But even then, it only brought in 3,000 downloads. Even now, there are only 200 online users at the same time, so it can be said that the shin is very large.

It's not that Zhang Ning's character is too bad, Tianya helped him, but he doesn't look down on Tianya, he just analyzes the numbers.

Even if you advertise on these sites for a month, you won't be able to increase many users.

Therefore, Zhang Ning still regards the portal as the first choice, and it is also the most time-saving method.

"Okay, let's do this first, I'll take a look at it then, let's have lunch first."

The two put down their work and went downstairs to prepare for lunch.

"Manager Zhu."

was saying that he was going to have lunch, but he didn't think about it, but he met Zhu Chenggang from before halfway.

Seeing Zhu Chenggang, Zhang Ning smiled and greeted him very generously, "Manager Zhu, we officially opened today." It's just that the company has just opened, and it doesn't have any fame, so it opened directly. It's just time to eat, why don't you go down and have a meal together? ”

Seeing Zhang Ning ushering in and remembering yesterday's events, Zhu Chenggang had a feeling of wanting to get into the hole again. However, Zhu Chenggang has been in the IT industry for many years, and he has been able to practice this meat. His face trembled, and he hurriedly held Zhang Ning's right hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang is too polite, it was my fault yesterday, and I apologize to Brother Zhang." ”

"Apologize?"

Zhang Ning wondered, "What kind of apology?" ”

Could it be that this guy knows that he found him bragging?

This doesn't look like it.,Yesterday I was very good.,I don't know how many times I've praised him.。

"Haha, I'll just say that Brother Zhang has a lot, I definitely don't remember this little thing. Still, the meal is over. Brother Zhu, I have something to do, so I won't accompany Brother Zhang. Oh, by the way, Brother Zhang, which website is your company making? ”

"Oh, we're not making websites, we're doing instant messaging."

"Wow, yes, instant messaging like OICQ?"

"yes, that's it."

"There is development, Brother Zhang, what is the name of your software, I will immediately go back and call all the employees of my company to use the software developed by you."

"Thank you so much."

Zhang Ning's eyes lit up, which gave him a good idea, and hurriedly said, "The name of our software is QQ, and we will advertise on the portal website in the future, and I hope Manager Zhu will help me a lot." ”

"Definitely, definitely."

Fukasei City.

Shencheng City is a special economic development zone in China, and it attracts a very, very large number of people with its Shencheng speed.

There are also a lot of companies, all of which are located in Shencheng City.

Similarly, Tencent, which developed the instant messaging OICQ, is also in the process of becoming a company.

However, at this time, Tencent cannot be said to be big, but can only be said to be a small company. At least, yes for now.

"Zhidong, we've met our opponents."

In Tencent's office, Ma Huateng downloaded a newly launched instant messaging software QQ.

In addition, he also took out a document and constantly recorded the advantages of this instant messaging.

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhidong nodded, he also knew this QQ for the first time.

"Receiving information offline, server terminal storing information, these two technologies, Zhidong, can you complete it over there?"

Seeing QQ's latest technology, Ma Huateng was a little dumbfounded.

These two technologies can be said to directly defeat the advantages of OICQ. If it weren't for OICQ's earlier launch a year ago, I'm afraid that if users choose between QQ and OICQ now, OICQ would have lost a mess. Luckily, though, they still have a chance. Luckily, this company is just entering this market.

"There's not much of a problem with the technology, but maybe we don't have enough money."

It is not difficult to receive information offline and store information on the server terminal, both of which allow the information set by the user to be stored in the server. After the user goes online, the server sends this information back to the user's chatter. However, there is a problem with these two features, and that is that they need servers with more performance and larger hard drives. Otherwise, with so much information to process, their servers will be a little overwhelmed. At least, Tencent's servers can't stand it now.

"You're saying we need to buy a more advanced server?"

Although Ma Huateng is not a technical person, he also understands technology.

"Yes, and if this continues, the more users we have, the more servers we will put in."

"I know."

Ma Huateng sighed again.

Originally, they had been struggling to support, and now they had encountered such a strong competitor, which really put them under great pressure.

"And, pony, the server side may not be the most critical either. The key thing is that the strength of the other side is very strong. ”

"How?"

"Although we don't know what the situation of this company is, from the introduction of the other party's functions, the other party's technical strength is not only very strong, but also their financial resources are also very strong. As he said, providing 1G fiber services, this is not something we can compare. Also, their servers are more advanced. It is not difficult to see all kinds of aspects. The other party's financial resources are very strong, and it is possible that they really fancy this market......"

"yes."

Ma Huateng sighed again, "Moreover, their interface system, even I feel that the settings are fantastic." ”

I really don't know why God would arrange such a strong opponent for himself.

However, Ma Huateng is not a person who compromises lightly, "Zhidong, I think, we should raise funds immediately now." ”

"Yes, I think so too. It's just that we rejected the offers of several previous investment companies. ”

"Well, look for it again, if you can't find it, we'll accept one of them with slightly better conditions."

"That's all there is to it."

Zhang Zhidong was also depressed, but after a while, Zhang Zhidong said, "Xiaoma, let's not be too anxious." These offers are not only low, but also require a controlling stake, which is not something that you and I can accept. I'll take a look at a trip to school these days, my mentor "Xiong Zhixing" may have some connections, I'll try there, if not, I'll come back. ”

"Okay, you go now, I'm afraid we won't be in a hurry."

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhidong agreed, packed up some information, and left Shencheng.
