Chapter 44: Advertising is really strong

Li Hao was puzzled, and he asked Zhou Yunsheng.

"Yunsheng, you are in charge of our company's advertising, what does Brother Bo mean when he leaves?"

"I don't quite understand either." Zhou Yunsheng's expression was also a little confused.

"Our translation software is aimed at people who are working or traveling abroad, as well as people who have close contact with foreign countries.

In addition to advertising on advertising networks, the rest are travel websites, companies engaged in video culture translation, etc., targeting very professional people. ”

She looked at Li Hao and said puzzledly: "You said that the user group of this software is very narrow, and it is impossible for me to waste money on advertising on mass media platforms."

It can be seen from our company's back-end payment data that ordinary people who don't have a need for it don't usually use these functions except for a curious experience. ”

"It's useless to think about it here, let's go back to the company first, and I'll also use my mobile phone to search for it." Li Hao got up and said.

After paying at the hotel, they walked to the company.

On the way, Li Hao explained to Zhou Yunsheng that he was going to assemble a supercomputer by himself and asked Zhou Yunsheng to plan the funds in advance.

"Can the self-assembled supercomputer meet our requirements?

Is its performance stable? How much money is needed? ”

Zhou Yunsheng asked a series of questions, she didn't know much about this field, so she could only ask them in advance.

"In terms of performance, I calculate well, we don't want the most advanced chips, but choose the most stable chips.

After using the mature operating system, I am going to modify the operating system so that it can better work with the parrot.

A supercomputer plus multiple auxiliary servers, these are all assembled by ourselves, and I estimate that 65 million yuan can assemble a barely used data center. ”

"There is no problem with money, the profitability of intelligent translation software coupled with the profitability of intelligent voice input method advertising platform.

There is also the payment for cooperation between Tencent and other companies in the future.

With these funds to build a data center, the company's development will not be delayed. ”

Zhou Yunsheng first answered Li Hao's most concerned question.

She thought of a question that she thought was important and asked Li Hao.

"The supercomputing and servers that make up the data center are definitely very large. In addition, it requires a large amount of power maintenance and a large capacity of optical fiber for communication.

Data centers also require special clean rooms.

Our company is now barely maintaining a server if we were to build a data center.

We definitely need a certain amount of space, we can buy or rent, but the housing prices in Yanjing are too expensive. ”

When Li Hao heard Zhou Yunsheng say this, he also realized the data center he was going to build.

Their office building is no longer able to accommodate it.

This company, which had just started a few days ago, was faced with the fact that the headquarters could not keep up with the company's development pace.

Li Hao thought about it and decided: "I'll find a way to do this, many of my classmates have entered the society, and some of them have entered the field of real estate sales."

I'm going to buy a second-hand house, renovate it, and build a data center. ”

"It's better to buy a house, if there are not parrots, we should host them in a public data center, and there is a special company responsible for maintenance.

It's just that the data center is the core asset of our company, and we should manage it ourselves.

As a result, the budget you want to buy a car will have to be postponed for a while.

Second-hand houses don't have to, let's just buy a new basement. ”

Zhou Yunsheng counted the available funds of the company and said to Li Hao.

"When I say second-hand housing, I don't mean second-hand housing for commodities. I was preparing to buy a bankrupt factory on the outskirts of Yanjing.

Data centers are power-hungry and require high-current cables. It also requires extremely high-capacity optical fibers for external data transmission.

For ordinary commercial housing, the cost of renovating the line is too great. ”

Li Hao expressed his own thoughts and discussed the location of the data center with Zhou Yunsheng.

"I know what you're thinking, I'm going to get started today.

You don't have to look for someone else, the factory is very easy to buy. I'm in charge of buying the factory, and you're in charge of building the data center. ”

Zhou Yunsheng also agreed with Li Hao's idea, and she assigned their respective tasks.

They happened to be walking in the Pioneer Park and saw CCTV news being broadcast on the big screen upstairs.

Now it is being broadcast that CCTV reporters interviewed on the streets of London.

Just seeing a tourist holding a mobile phone, he was able to communicate with the citizens of London normally.

From the app icon flashing by the phone, you can see that it is an emerald green gourd, which is an intelligent translation of their company.

Li Hao saw the CCTV report. He was stunned and said in surprise: "Yunsheng, have you sent money to CCTV?"

No wonder Brother Bo said that our propaganda is very strong, and this wave of advertising you hit is really strong. ”

"How can our small company control CCTV's program, this is the real interview picture." Zhou Yunsheng also replied in surprise.

"I just like this kind of advertising that doesn't cost money, and this kind of publicity can't be compared to any advertisement." Li Hao laughed.

They walked quickly to the company, and at the same time, Li Hao used his mobile phone to call up the paid data of the intelligent translation software.

He put his mobile phone in front of Zhou Yunsheng and said ecstatically: "Look at the income, it has increased by 60 million this morning."

Although most of them are annual fees, they will not be paid for a year after this wave of users pay for a year.

But we have the money and can do a lot of things. ”

"Yo, how come there is still paid data in dollars and euros, and we don't advertise in Europe.

With wild users, this paid scale is not reached. Zhou Yunsheng pointed to the mobile phone screen and said in surprise.

Li Hao took a closer look and found that the background data showed the balance of their foreign currency account.

$3 million and 2 million euros were credited, both sold through the Google Play Store for Android phones.

Li Hao felt very strange, he looked at this data and said: "If the Apple platform is online, I won't be surprised to sell these."

Google's paying subscribers can sell so much.

We also didn't promote it abroad, how did users find this software. With a small circle can sell hundreds of thousands of dollars, but that's too much. ”

The two of them walked into the office, and Li Hao and Zhou Yunsheng began to look for the reason for the outbreak of software abroad.

Li Hao asked the parrot to start looking on the Internet, and soon revealed the reason for the growth of intelligent translation.

This is because CNN, the mainstream media in Europe and the United States, reports on intelligent translation software.

Zhou Yunsheng checked several reports and said dissatisfiedly: "What nonsense are these American media talking about.

The evaluation of our features is fairly good, but it is said that our software can read lip speech, which violates the privacy of others.

People's voice data is also collected to monitor the privacy of American citizens.

They don't say that, and we should be able to sell more software. ”

Li Hao said with satisfaction: "The effect of this wave of advertising is really strong, they are not completely misinterpreted, and some positive reports are already very good."

In Europe and the United States, privacy is almost to the point of pathology, they don't have the Skynet system, and even the subway station has no security check. ”

Zhou Yunsheng also nodded and said: "Just looking at the advertising effect, the news reports of the media are really strong. ”
