Chapter 194: Ringing in America
Chapter 194 resounded throughout the United States
Although he is very confident in his software, Zhou Shuo is still apprehensive. He wondered if his advanced designs would be accepted by today's Internet users.
Even after countless designs, will the software still have unknown serious bugs? Can a server array handle a large number of users' data requests? Can you keep your data safe in the face of hackers?
There are too many unknown factors in the process of software operation, and many successful products are often completely collapsed in front of the market due to a very small mistake.
But Zhou Shuo has already spent too much effort on the six-ear IM, and he has no room for failure, he can only succeed once.
On the day of the software launch, all the employees of Liuer Software gathered in the company and were ready to standby.
"What is the resource usage of the server?" Zhou Shuo nervously walked back and forth in the computer room, anxiously asking the programmer in charge of server maintenance.
"It's less than 1 percent, and the system is working well." The programmer sitting in front of the computer hurriedly reported.
"Network bandwidth utilization?" Zhou Shuo turned his head to look at the other side, which was the team in charge of network maintenance.
"100M traffic per second." The programmer in charge of traffic monitoring was also infected by Zhou Shuo's emotions, and his nervous voice was a little out of tune.
"Why is it so small, is it that the number of downloaders is not ideal?" Hearing that the occupancy rate of various resources was so low, Zhou Shuo began to suffer from gains and losses again.
"The number of downloads has reached 10,000." Shao Shiming, who was in charge of the overall operation of the software, raised his head from the front of the other computer and comforted Zhou Shuo with a smile: "It's only been online for three hours." The number of registered users has exceeded 8,000, which is already very good. The resource usage is low. It is purely caused by the high performance of our system and the small user base. ”
"That's good." Zhou Shuo was a little relieved. With nearly 3,000 registrations per hour, he was able to reach 60,000 registered users on the first day, which was already a relatively satisfactory result in his heart.
"Alright, alright, if you continue to stay here, we won't even know where to put our hands. Go do something else, don't make a mess here. It is also Shao Shiming's special identity that allows him to speak to Zhou Shuo in this tone, and he can still listen to it.
"Well, don't let up. The server operation status should be maintained at all times. I'll take a look at other departments first. Zhou Shuoqian instructed and reluctantly walked out of the computer room and walked to the office of the technical service department next to him.
"Yes, ma'am, all you have to do is type what you want to say in the text box and your son will see it right away."
"Oh, he replied? It's amazing! Can I give you a little trick and see that there is a button that vibrates? If you press it, the window on the opposite side will shake, which will prompt him to answer as soon as possible. ”
"You're welcome ma'am, I wish you a pleasant use."
"Hello. This is the technical service department of Liuer Software Company, and the customer representative of No. 03921 is at your service. ”
"Hello sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
There were only three people in the technical services department for the time being, and Robert, Jenny, and Jennifer barely had time to stop. As soon as you hang up the phone, there will definitely be other numbers coming in. All three of them have undergone a certain amount of training on the problems that may arise during the use of the six-ear IM. A detailed question and answer book has been prepared. If you have any questions, you can quickly find the answers on them.
Zhou Shuo stood in the technical service department for a long time. I didn't find a chance to say a word to the three of them, so I had to reluctantly walk out of the alley.
He walked around the company for half a day. But I didn't find anyone who could say a few words to me. But also, there are only about 20 people in the Six Ears Software Company now, and after the software is launched, I can't wait to break it in half and use it alone, how can there be idlers other than him?
Zhou Shuo smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to turn around and walk into the general manager's office of Six Ears Software Company.
This general manager's office is an office with the best view from the window on the entire floor. Outside the expansive glass façade, a rare green park spoils the skyline of high-rise buildings. As far as the eye can see, you can even see the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean.
The furnishings in the office are also very stylish, and the office of more than 100 square meters is equipped with office suites of "famous Italian brand" Da Vinci furniture. A large three-metre-long desk sits in the center of the office, covered with office supplies, intricate but well arranged.
He touched the delicate texture of the leather sofa, took a deep breath, relaxed and said, "General Manager Yu, how is the work of software promotion?" ”
Yu Qiong raised her head from behind her desk, put down the pencil in her hand and said, "The strength of domestic and Japanese companies has been mobilized, and the number of posters has totaled 1,700 people. The American programmers at the North Korean Computer Company have made a list of forums, and I have arranged for different numbers of people to go to various websites to build a hype according to their influence. In terms of media, they have also contacted 13 newspapers in the Internet industry through their connections, and after promising to publish advertisements for half a year, they also agreed to make a special report on Liuer IM. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Shuo nodded with satisfaction, sat on the sofa, and asked, "How does it feel to be this general manager, do you have the confidence to continue to do it?" ”
"With President Zhou laying the foundation and guiding the direction, I don't think it's a big problem." Yu Qiong rarely showed a smile and said lightly.
Zhou Shuo shook his head and vetoed: "I can't keep an eye on the work here, sooner or later you will have to take on this business by yourself." ”
Yu Qiong lowered her head and thought about it, and said seriously: "You can make a plan and let me implement it." I think it will take a while to get used to this new identity. The business of Liuer Software Company is more groundbreaking, and it is not the same as the work experience of the Northern Dynasty. ”
"You are the person at the helm of this company in the future, and I trust you." Zhou Shuo said noncommittally: "I hope you can adapt as soon as possible, there are still many things waiting for you here in the United States." ”
The E2cafe Internet café in the suburbs of Seattle, where Zhou Shuo posted the news of the network transmission compression algorithm on the Internet through James.
Originally, everyone was quietly on the Internet, but suddenly there was a string of "Dididi-Di-" voices from out of nowhere in the Internet café.
At first, people thought it was a chime from a website, and no one cared where it came from.
However, soon this kind of "Dididi-Di-" sound sounded one after another in the Internet café.
There are so many computers in the E2café that there are hundreds. As more and more computers join the chorus, the sound of "Dididi-Di-" even joins into one.
"Hey, bro, what are you doing with this Didi thing?" Some people couldn't help it and began to call the people around them.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my software bothered you, right?" The person who was asked was a little embarrassed, pointed to his computer screen and said, "Look, this is the software that allows me to chat with my friends in real time." No need to go through sluggish emails, or troublesome web chat rooms. ”
"It's okay, to be honest, this voice is quite pleasant." The inquirer waved his hand and asked curiously, "This feature is not bad, but the cost is not cheap, right?" Nowadays, even emails have to be charged, so such a good software must be more expensive, right? ”
"Ha Luha, that's the best thing about it!" The person asked smirked: "This software is free, not only can you communicate faster than email, but it doesn't cost a penny." ”
"It's unbelievable, what do they rely on to run without fees?" The inquirer asked incredulously.
Americans are really admirable in terms of consumption habits, and they are willing to pay for things like online services, which cannot be seen or touched. For example, e-books, MP3s, movies, and even Skype on the Internet, all need to pay the copyright owner for downloading and using services in the United States.
These habits of paying for services on the Internet have been cultivated by Americans since the beginning. From another point of view, the rapid development of Internet technology in the United States is also inseparable from their habit of paying for services.
This can also be found on the Internet in China, where few people were able to persist in writing online literature in the early years, because there was no income from writing online novels. Because of the lack of income, the authors were not even recognized for their social status.
It was only after the novels had to be paid that online literature gradually developed. The authors of online novels have continued to create because of the economic benefits it can bring.
In fact, 99.9% of the novels on the Internet are paid, and if you find that you can read an entire book without spending money, it only means that you are reading pirated copies.
The person who was asked shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Who knows that there is a way to make a profit." ”
"Don't talk about this, brother, can you please give me the download address of the software?"
"You can find the download address on Yahoo's homepage, which is very convenient. By the way, this is my DiDi number, you can use this to add me as a friend. ”
Similar conversations are constantly being staged across the United States, and the software prompt sound with the scientific name "Six Ears IM" and commonly known as "Didi" has quietly begun to resound across the United States.
Zhou Shuo and Yu Qiong chatted casually for a while, and their nervous mood was finally somewhat relieved, and they were no longer as nervous as before.
However, before he could relax for two minutes, there was a sudden knock on the door of the general manager's office! (To be continued......)
