What should other giants do when they enter the music market with the big stick of capital in the vacuum period after the loss of copyright of the beautiful music network? 40 million US dollars looks like a lot, but when it is actually thrown into the Internet industry, it may not even be able to see a splash and it will be gone, and countless companies have verified this fact.

In the first half of 01 alone, venture capital funds invested $6.1 billion in Silicon Valley, and as a result, more than 3,000 companies announced their closures, and bankrupt companies selling new and second-hand computers, desks and chairs can be seen everywhere in Silicon Valley, and the office vacancy rate in Silicon Valley has even reached 20%, and the unemployment rate has also hit a new high.

Countless billionaires who have been worth hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of dollars in the Internet wave have become poor and worthless after the bubble has been burst. Chen Bo has no doubt that if he makes a mistake, his fate may not be much better, so he can only come and go naked.

With Chen Bo's current earning ability in the market, it is relatively easy to attract capital injection. After all, he already has a successful company, and this is his capital.

But the future development will definitely not be like a relatively single share structure like Sky.com, a venture capital is not so much money to throw into it, especially Pangu Search, it is difficult to achieve profitability in the short term, even if Chen Bo is bullish. Tens of thousands of servers need to be built alone, and even the cheapest server costs more than 10,000, which is still the cheapest. Not to mention the cost of other promotions.

Sky.com is really catching up with the opportunity, but the future of Pangu search is destined to be more difficult. It is a big problem to need a large amount of capital to enter, how to operate, and how to ensure that the dominant position in the company remains unchanged, and there are no bones left that cannot be gnawed by the capital predators.

And now it is not a company, Tengxun has its own team, the sky network has been stabilized, and Dingdong is still stock-based. He naturally doesn't have much to worry about, Pangu search, beautiful music network This year is the most critical year to lay the foundation.

According to the expected development progress, it is basically impossible to launch it to the market in the first half of the year, so it is necessary to lay out in advance. Chen Bo's previous development of the Pangu input method and Pangu browser should also come in handy, and at the same time increase R&D and marketing efforts.

Turn on the three-stage rocket mode from the input method → the browser → the search page. In the first half of the year, the first two free tools are mainly promoted, and when the search engine is officially launched, it will be able to occupy the market faster. After all, Google and Baidu are not good at stubble, and companies such as E, Yahoo, and Suhu are all eyeing up to join the battle for search entrances.

You have to burn money, otherwise you can't pry this market, but you have to burn money beautifully, you can't burn for the sake of burning, it's meaningless if it's too blind.

Chen Bo has made several business plans for Pangu Search and Beautiful Music Network, and after a few days, his eyes already have obvious eye bags. But he can't rest yet. Because Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived!

A large LED screen is newly installed on the wall, only 100 inches, and it is too luxurious to install it no matter how big it is. The display image is processed on a split screen, half of which is the signal of the real-time live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, and the other half is a rolling display of the real-time operation data analysis of the SMS value-added service and the SMS platform.

Hot dumplings and hearty Chinese New Year's Eve meals were delivered from a restaurant not far away, both to celebrate the Spring Festival and to be their battlefield. There were only a dozen or so people in the office, which was not much, but the atmosphere was very warm. Everyone gathers from all over the world to work together to do something that no one else has done, every step is to create history, and the boss is still a young man like them, very easy-going and can get along with them, and never stingy with employees.

Chen Bo's various means in the Internet market are enough for them to worship, and this spiritual blessing is also infecting the entire company. Although they can't reunite with their families for the time being, they should work harder while they are young, and Guan Xin, the actual person in charge of the spun off beautiful music network, has just graduated, giving them more yearning for the future.

Time came to 8 o'clock in a flash, the picture of the Spring Festival Gala also appeared on the big screen, after a joyful opening remarks, the host Zhu Jun reported tonight's interactive participation method, "The 2001 Spring Festival Gala can not only be called by calling the hotline, CCTV for the first time combined with the Internet and mobile communications, launched a short message platform to send blessings. While watching the party, all the audience can also leave what you want to say on the Spring Festival Wall of Sky.com, and you can also send text messages to the SMS platform supported by Sky.com's exclusive technology to send blessings to their loved ones. We will read these messages and messages at random to bring your blessings to thousands of families and your relatives and friends. ”

While eating, everyone in Sky watched while staring at various real-time data and preparing to deal with various emergency situations to ensure the normal operation of the website and SMS platform.

As the Spring Festival Gala continues, Sky Net is also constantly being mentioned. The website first ushered in a small peak of traffic, and the eye-catching Spring Festival blessing wall on the home page was plastered with virtual small notes, and after clicking on it, you can see the blessings written to others, and you can also leave anonymous messages.

At the same time, starting from the first text message at 8 o'clock, it exceeded 100,000 within a few minutes, and the unparalleled brand influence of the Spring Festival Gala is slowly releasing its powerful energy.

It has exceeded one million in half an hour, and it has reached three million in an hour, Chen Bo calculated in his heart that the SMS platform is a gold-sucking beast. Moreover, there are very few people who can use mobile phones nowadays, and those who are in poor economic conditions. A text message for one dollar is really not expensive for Chinese users who have to pay money to receive and receive calls and charge in both directions.

At the same time, it has also driven the ordering of other SMS value-added service packages on the entire website, which is also rising. This set of combination punches down makes other competitors absolutely unreachable.

At this time, in the distant Yanjing, the deputy director in charge of the party's investment promotion was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about the huge income brought by the platform in a short period of time. At first, I still had the attitude of testing the waters, and it was also under the pressure of conservatives and the fact that the other party finally won a lot of advertising money.

If the effect is poor and the audience evaluation is low, it is a big deal. After all, the Spring Festival Gala is not only watched by ordinary people, but even central leaders will pay attention.

At present, the effect is still good, as the party progresses, after the host broadcasts a few blessing messages on the SMS platform, the popularity of the SMS platform continues to rise, and it is simply hot.

The phone in the office kept ringing, and it was all well-known domestic large enterprises. Strongly requested to broadcast their company's blessing text messages on the SMS platform, and even asked for 500,000 pieces, and the deputy director on duty made a decision on the spot, and immediately notified the host to make temporary changes and broadcast the blessing text messages of some large enterprises.

The influx of SMS has also caused various instability of the SMS platform, but fortunately, under the leadership of Chen Bo, a number of adjustments have been made to the platform at the same time to ensure normal operation. In the office of Pengcheng Sky Network, everyone couldn't take care of eating, and they began to get busy.

During the live broadcast period, nearly 100 million text messages were continuously transmitted by the two companies on the airwaves across the country, which were sent freely and not through the SMS platform. The worry is that it has caused a certain amount of information congestion on the cellular network, and many people can only receive one in half an hour, and the two customer service hotlines have basically received complaints about network delays.

Moreover, there are still two hours until the early hours of the morning before we can officially enter the first day of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Snake, and there will definitely be a large wave of phone calls and text messages to pay New Year's greetings. But now there are already 20 million SMS messages on the SMS platform alone. The addition of SMS value-added service packages to the website has already surpassed the total number of orders in previous months.

Chen Bo and the others were already busy, and the numbers above the big screen were constantly jumping, and the bright red numbers were as eye-catching as a group of dancing banknotes.

The time hand finally pointed to 23:59:45, and the word countdown appeared on the big screen at the party site. Underneath, it reads "Sky Network wishes the National People's League a reunion and a happy Spring Festival." Although there is nothing new, the 15-second hard advertisement is really spreading the word about Sky.com.

At this time, it finally ushered in the peak period,Huaxia Mobile、Huaxia Unicom's network has been close to paralysis,It's difficult to make calls or keep beeping busy signals,SMS can be successfully sent out in 5 minutes, you are lucky,You may be able to receive it when you get up on the morning of New Year's Day。

The SMS platform is gradually stabilizing, why? Because you can't send text messages! The Spring Festival Gala also came to an end in the classic songs that unforgettable tonight. The people left behind by Sky Net collapsed in their chairs, exhausted and panting.

The data of the night of hard work is shown on the big screen, and the mantissa is still beating slowly, but the impact is not great. In the end, the number of SMS messages sent by the platform was 45 million, and the SMS value-added service package tripled compared with the sum of the previous two months, exceeding 10 million orders, and the highest website traffic reached the annual peak of 21 million.

The income of this night is more than the income of a year, Chen Bo said in his heart, and suddenly there is a feeling of the Double 11 Chopping Festival in later generations, and it is nothing more than robbing money. Although according to the agreement, a text message of 1 yuan can only get a share of 1 cent, and the SMS platform only receives 4.5 million yuan at night. However, Sky.com's SMS subscription package makes up for this shortcoming, and only 10 million SMS subscription packages can have 30 million revenue per month.

Both telecommunications companies have called to report the good news, and the income they get is very high. Huaxia Mobile alone got close to 200 million in revenue through Sky Network overnight, what is this concept? The golden pig that sucks money.

Chen Bo took out the red envelopes that had been sealed in a timely manner, and it is an indispensable etiquette to give red envelopes during the New Year in Lingnan, also known as "Li Shi". It is a traditional project for elders to juniors, superiors to subordinates, and companies to employees. Of course, he was not stingy, and they had just fought all night, and if they wanted the horses to run, how could they not give grass to eat. Each person has a big red envelope and says some auspicious words about the New Year's wishes and Wishing you prosperity. Arrange for everyone to hurry up and rest.

After everything was arranged, Chen Bo hurriedly lay down and squinted for a while.
