Awesome!

There is no fool in the people here, after hearing Xiao Qi's words, they understood, no wonder Baidu's fees are so cheap, and the feeling is that people have thought of a new profit model.

It is to build the entire film and television base into a large-scale amusement park, and the crew and stars in their hands are the game facilities in the amusement park, which are used to attract tourists, and these tourists are where Baidu really makes money, and it makes more money than charging fees for use alone.

At the end of the party, Xiao Qi announced while the iron was hot that from the next day, the film and television base would be officially opened to the public. And Xiao Qi also revealed that now the crew of the movie version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is filming in the film and television city, and all the stars are in it or something.

As a result, the next day when the film and television city opened, the entrance was completely blocked, more than 50,000 tourists flocked in one day, and in the next few days, the average number of tourists per day was more than 20,000, which in the entire 99 years, it is definitely the data that can be proud of the national scenic spots.

Except for the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors, and a few scenic spots on the Great Wall, there is no one that can surpass the film and television base.

Just when the people of the whole country were curious about this sudden magic city of Magic City, at the headquarters of Microsoft in the distant state of Washington, a group of people looked at the data in their hands, their faces were pale, and their bodies even trembled.

These people are all Microsoft executives, and they are holding MSN and QQ user growth reports, and judging by their expressions, it is clear that the numbers on this report are somewhat unsatisfactory.

Or rather, quite unsatisfactory.

"How can there be so much difference? That's a gap of eight million people, you tell me, how did this come about! Bill Gates asked his executives tremblingly.

According to the report, the total number of global users of QQ has reached 30 million, while the number of global users of MSN is only 22 million.

In fact, these two numbers are already very remarkable, after all, the total number of Internet users in the world at this time is only about 100 million, which is equivalent to every two Internet users' computers, one has QQ or MSN installed.

If you count the number of installs last year, you will find that in seven months, the number of users of QQ and MSN has more than doubled, this growth rate is really terrifying, if it weren't for this bet, the staff in charge of the MSN project, that one would have to receive bonuses.

But with QQ as a reference, MSN's success is not a success.

The number of users of QQ is 3 million more than that of MSN, which means that in 7 months, in terms of increasing the number of users, QQ has increased the number of users by 5 million more than MSN.

There are only 5 months left until the final bet deadline. It is almost an impossible task to make up for the gap of 5 million in 5 months.

So Bill Gates is furious, and if he loses, Microsoft's loss is unimaginable.

Don't think that losing is just losing face or something, if you lose, then I'm afraid you will lose the entire instant messaging software market.

Through the development of the past seven months, everyone at Microsoft, and even on the Internet, has realized how important instant messaging software is to the Internet.

Huang, the president of 51 Search, said directly in an interview that instant messaging software is the next 51 Search, if there is an instant messaging software that can occupy a dominant position in the market.

Once this software is listed, the market capitalization will not be much lower than 51 searches.

This makes Microsoft even more reluctant to see MSN fail, after all, the market value of 51 search is only a little lower than Microsoft, if MSN's market value in the future is the same as 51 search, then Microsoft's market value, wouldn't it be able to double?

Thinking of this, the entire Microsoft has made up its mind to support MSN, as long as QQ is killed, then MSN will be able to dominate the world.

But when the report came out, the whole of Microsoft fell silent.

"Chairman, I think the investigation data in this report is inaccurate, and the situation is far from being as exaggerated as the report says!" An executive stepped forward and said loudly.

"Oh!" The expression on Bill Gates's face looks a lot better, yes, Microsoft fully supports MSN, and uses all kinds of means to spend tens of millions of dollars on advertising and marketing alone, how can it be lost to QQ, this must be an inaccurate survey data.

After all, any survey is only estimated based on a small sample, and it is normal for surveys to make mistakes.

"Chairman, I studied this survey report and found that their surveys were all conducted in the United States, and most of the more than 1,000 samples surveyed were also from the United States. But we're counting installs all over the world, so the data for a single country is absolutely unstable, so this survey doesn't count. ”

"Makes sense!" Bill Gates and others nodded one after another, that's right, anyone who has studied statistics knows that of course, global data must be investigated on a global scale, and only one country's data is inaccurate, and this survey result does not count.

However, they seem to have forgotten that MSN, as a local enterprise in the United States, is actually 8 million behind the data in the local survey and estimation of the United States, so if it is put into a global survey, it should be even more behind.

Of course, these elites are not unaware of this, but the situation in their eyes does not allow them to think about this, they just want to be an ostrich.

"So when we finally make the comparison, how is that data calculated?" An executive asked curiously.

It is obviously unrealistic to determine the final result through questionnaires, after all, there is too much room for cheating, and neither side will admit the result after losing it.

"The final results are supervised and published by the World Computer Federation!" An MSN executive explained, "After making an agreement, the World Computer Federation will send representatives into the control rooms of MSN and QQ, monitor all the data, and on the last day, the back-end data will be aggregated and compared." ”

In order to ensure fairness, the World Computer Federation will send 10 representatives from different countries to each family, and only 10 representatives will sign unanimously before it will take effect. At the same time, the entire supervision process will be backed up by data, and from a professional point of view, the probability of cheating is very small, the probability is not more than 1%"

"Then can we get the data from QQ now?"

"It's very difficult, the data is not allowed to be released in advance, it is written in the contract, and those representatives do not have the right to contact the outside world, and it is very difficult for us to get the data of the other party!"

"This means that before October 1st, neither of us can get the accurate data of the other party, and the results will only come out on October 1st!"

"Yes"
