Chapter 50 The First Order
Soon, tourism-related concepts such as twilight platforms and guesthouses were passed on to countless readers through the newspaper.
Everyone is more curious, business trips, travel is not all to live in a hotel, occasionally come to a tent camping is fresh enough, I didn't expect to find a new term today.
- B&B!
"It turns out that the empty room in my house can still be made into a homestay to make money!"
The quick-witted person immediately thought of something, as if he had discovered a new continent, and his excitement was palpable.
"Alas, I don't like to go to many remote tourist attractions because I can't find hotels there, if the B&B can really solve these problems as the company said, it will be a blessing for tourists."
"Hahaha, there will be famous hotels to choose from in the future, and I don't need to look for theme hotels everywhere!"
"Well, when I travel on National Day, I'll take my girlfriend to experience the homestay."
“……”
There are many voices of emotion and discussion.
Obviously, the impact of the new concept on young people is quite terrifying, and they can't wait to rush to the company immediately and go online to see what surprises Dusk Su can bring to them.
Among them, there are young people who couldn't search for information about the company last night.
Because the newspaper stated that the launch time of the twilight network was at 8 o'clock this morning, and the website address was attached.
In these days, mobile phones can hardly access the Internet, and a few pseudo-smart phones of the Symbian system cannot view the web even if they can access the Internet.
The speed is too slow, how can the 2G signal at this time be compared with the 4G of later generations.
Not to mention the latest 5G networks.
16th Floor, Heng Wing Building.
Liang Shaoqi arrived at the company before dawn, and he arrived earlier than him, as well as the employees in charge of technology, who were preparing for the battle all night last night.
In addition to this, Giman also arrived.
At this moment, in the network technology center, a 22-inch monitor is placed in the center, and many people are gathered around.
At 8:00, the twilight network was launched on time.
In just a few minutes, the background data rose sharply, and by 8:15, the number of visits exceeded 10,000.
"So much?"
Ji Man was shocked in disbelief: "The situation is very good! ”
"It's useless, these are all attracted by newspaper propaganda, and at least 90% of them are purely curious, and it is difficult to convert them into effective customers."
Liang Shaoqi is an expert after all, explaining the reason.
"So, our ads are almost for nothing?"
Gimandale's eyebrows furrowed, and it was difficult to accept this fact.
"How can we do it in vain, at least we are popularizing the concept of homestay to the public, even if the people who visit the website have no order needs, we can also let more people know about the homestay and understand the homestay network through their mouths."
After Liang Shaoqi finished speaking, he also explained to her that the advertisements of ordinary commodities are fundamentally different from the advertisements of Dusk.com.
Only then did Ji Man understand that launching a brand new thing, to the user to understand, accept, use, is a gradual process, if one day, the user will take it as a habit, it is beyond the scope of ordinary goods.
For example, people who have never used a mobile phone don't think anything about it, they just think that after having it, it will be more convenient to communicate with the outside world.
But what if a person who has been using a mobile phone for a long time let him not use it?
Obviously, his life will be seriously affected!
That's how terrible it is to get used to!
As time passed, the number of visits to the website increased.
Around 9:00, almost all the readers who had read the "Metro Times" arrived at the company, and they opened the website with different mentalities.
"Mr. Liang, the number of visits has exceeded 300,000 and is climbing at a very fast speed, I am worried about breaking through the limit!"
Suddenly, the technical staff reported.
"What's our ceiling?"
"Mr. Liang, the virtual host we leased has been adjusted and upgraded twice, and the limit of simultaneous access is 100,000."
"It's not enough at all, you quickly contact the rental server, and I'll report to Mr. Shen first!"
Liang Shaoqi has a sense of anger, and a group of netizens who are just looking at it are pouring in at the same time, which is estimated to paralyze the website.
He quickly took out his mobile phone, came to the office next door, dialed Shen Dui's phone, explained the situation in the shortest words, and then said: "Mr. Shen, at the moment, we can only rent a server, there is no other choice. ”
On the other end of the phone, Shen Du also had a headache after listening: "What magnitude of server do you think you need?" ”
"Mr. Shen, according to my estimates, in the short term, we will have to equip a server that supports 500,000 simultaneous access."
"What about the cost?"
"I have learned that the lease fee for a server accessed by 100,000 people at the same time is 50,000 a year; 500,000 level, 300,000 a year. ”
"What if 1 million people visit at the same time?"
"Mr. Shen, this kind of server is at least 500,000 a year."
"Okay, then lease 1 million level. You tell the other party, let's pay 200,000 yuan and use it for three months! ”
"Ah, what about three months from now?"
"Three months later, we bought it ourselves! You hurry up and do it, I'll be to the company soon. ”
At this time, Shen Du had already arrived downstairs in Hengrong Building, and after dealing with this matter, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, this pack of cigarettes was bought on the night when he went to KTV with his classmate Licking Dog.
If it was better more than a decade later, how could a rental server be so expensive?
Not to mention that after more than ten years, you only need to wait for 4 or 5 years, and the price can be almost halved.
At the beginning, Shen Duan only had 400,000 start-up capital in his hands, and he didn't dare to lease a server, but he didn't expect to come to this point.
After getting Liu Qingli's 1 million yuan creative fund, he also thought about renting servers, but most of the money was spent on [Metro Times] and expanding office space.
After spending like this, there was only more than 200,000 yuan left in his hand, and it was all placed in the company's account.
Fortunately, two days ago, the beautiful rich woman gave 300,000 pocket money in August.
Otherwise, he becomes a penniless boss.
But fortunately, it can be regarded as holding on for the time being, and three months after the launch of the twilight network, it has already been on the right track, and at that time he doesn't need to worry about spending money, just pay attention to the daily income.
After smoking a cigarette and going upstairs, it was 9:15.
"Mr. Liang, what's the situation?"
happened to see Liang Shaoqi, and Shen Duan stopped him.
"I've done the server thing, I don't need to worry about it in the short term, it's just ...... The finance manager said that the company's books were ...... It's already empty. ”
Liang Shaoqi paused twice when he said this, and kept paying attention to the change in the boss's expression.
"It's okay, I'll take care of it!"
Shen Du pretended to be calm, and instead asked about the launch of the Dusk Su network.
"I just came out of the finance room, and the situation is not clear now."
"Okay, let's go and see it together."
The two came to the network technology center, and the total number of visits to the data on the 22-inch monitor has exceeded 500,000, and the number of people online at the same time is 119,000, and the growth rate has not declined.
Liang Shaoqi secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately the server was upgraded in time, otherwise it would have collapsed on the first day of launch, wouldn't it have become a joke.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Ji, Mr. Liang, there is good news!"
At this moment, a customer service girl ran in with an excited face.
Seeing that everyone turned their heads in unison, she hurriedly said: "The first order of the twilight network is generated!" ”
