The Borderless network disk function has already been successfully developed and can be launched at any time.

In the evening of the same day, Tang Letong then informed the four investment companies of the Wujiang Group, Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Barclays Bank, that the website would launch the Wujiang network disk business and let them pay attention to it.

Around 8 o'clock in the evening.

The Wujiang network disk service was fully launched.

On the right side of the borderless portal, a "network disk" symbol appeared.

Click to enter, you can enter the Borderless network disk page.

On the left side of the Borderless Network Disk page, from top to bottom, there are six basic functions: "Enterprise Space", "Personal Files", "My Sharing", "Received Shares", "Local Sync", and "Recycle Bin", and on the right are the corresponding network disks for storing files.

In the lower left corner of the page, you can also see the total storage and usage of the Borderless network disk.

The "Personal Files" function also has some categories deliberately, including "Album", "Video", "Document", "Audio".

In the "Workspace" function, there are "Department Document Library", "My Document Library", "My Following", and so on......

Of course, you can also customize and create new names.

The initial network disk capacity of the Borderless Portal for all users is 1GB.

Generally speaking, it is enough to store some documents, photos, videos, etc. for the time being.

But to say that it is enough, that is unlikely.

If the capacity is not enough, you must open a network disk VIP membership and purchase capacity.

Level 1 VIP, add 5GB capacity, $1 per month, $10 per year.

Level 2 VIP, add 50GB capacity, $10 per month, $100 per year.

Level 3 VIP, add 100GB capacity, $20 per month, $200 per year.

Level 4 VIP, add 150GB capacity, $30 per month, $300 per year.

Level 5 VIP, add 200GB capacity, $40 per month, $400 per year.

……

Level 9 VIP, add 400GB capacity, $80 per month, $800 per year.

The above is only the charging standard of the personal version of the network disk.

The enterprise version of the network disk is more expensive, with an initial capacity of 10GB for free.

However, the Enterprise Edition is charged differently than the Personal Edition.

The main billable items of the subscription package of the Enterprise Edition include: storage fee + user service fee.

The basic package [1 TB/5 users/year] is charged as follows: storage fee 1,000 USD/1 TB/year + user service fee 100 USD/5 users/year.

It's easy to understand that 1TB of storage costs $1,000 per year, and $100 for 5 users.

In other words, the total cost of the basic package [1TB/5 users/year] is $1,100.

If it is a 1TB/10 users/year plan, the storage fee remains the same, but the number of users is increased by 5, that is, the cost is increased by $100, and the fee is $1,200.

Wujiang Portal has also launched many packages, [1TB/15 users/year], [1TB/20 users/year], [2TB/5 users/year], [2TB/10 users/year], [10TB/100 users/year], [20TB/200 users/year], etc., which enterprises can purchase on demand.

Of course, the price of both personal network disk and enterprise network disk is a little expensive, but it is normal to be a little expensive, because the hard disk itself in this period is very expensive, and the capacity is very small. The Wujiang portal is also a special chicken thief.,Not to mention the enterprise version of the network disk.,The personal version of the network disk,It's not a permanent expansion.。 Charging rent every month for a few years is more expensive than buying a hard drive with the same storage capacity.

At present, only the SSD SSD launched by Wujiang Group using flash memory technology can exceed 50GB.

IBM's HDDs are still hovering below 10GB.

As soon as the Wujiang network disk function was launched, the Wujiang portal began to spare no effort to promote it.

Netizens were pleasantly surprised when they saw this feature.

They never thought that they could also store things in the network drive, and when they wanted, they could download it.

"Oh yes! The function of the network disk is really good, my computer's hard disk capacity is no longer enough, just to upload some photos and documents to the network disk! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, my Japanese love action movie can be uploaded to the network disk, and you can download it at any time if you want to watch it, it's really convenient!" An obscene netizen left a message in the comment area.

"I am a videography enthusiast, and the photos in my camera often have no place to store because of the full capacity, and the appearance of the borderless network disk is really a great blessing for us videography enthusiasts! Otherwise, we will have to endure the pain of deleting the photos we have taken with great difficulty! ”

"Brothers, the record company is cracking down on pirated music, and I heard that several pirated music websites have shut down their websites because of obscenity. 所以，趁着现在网上还有盗版音乐网站，赶紧把自己喜欢的歌曲下载下来，然后上传到无疆网盘。 When you want to listen to it, you can download it. ”

Netizens have exerted their ingenuity and made full use of the value of the borderless network disk.

Even netizens who don't need to store files much,It's also a love for the network disk,I just feel that the network disk is a very convenient thing,Upload the file to the network disk,You can download and use it at any time in the future,It's equivalent to carrying a U disk。

……

"It's on fire, Mr. Tang! Our borderless network disk is on fire!! At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, after Tang Letong came to the company, he stood in the office hall with a nervous face and waited for the news.

"Up to now, 3.03 million people have tried the Borderless Network Disk!"

"Among them, the number of individual payers is as high as 27,000, and the income is 580,000 US dollars!!"

"There are 371 paid subscribers of the Enterprise Edition, and the revenue is $720,000!!"

When Tang Letong heard this, he was shocked, this result was much higher than he imagined, but he didn't expect so many people to pay!

In fact, it is mainly because the hard disk capacity of this period is really not enough.

The largest hard drive has a capacity of 50GB, but it is more expensive. Most users have less than 10GB of hard disk capacity on their computers.

10GB seemed high in the past, but Wujiang Group has launched a lot of software, especially some computer games, which have relatively large capacities, and games close to 1GB abound.

The latest version of the HarmonyOS system also occupies a size of around 1.25GB.

This leads to the fact that many people's computer hard disk capacity is not enough, and the purchase of SSD hard disk of Wujiang Group is relatively expensive, hundreds of dollars, or even thousands of dollars.

In this case, it is better to open a network disk on a monthly basis.

For individual users, Level 1 VIP is only $1 per month and $10 per year.

42.8% of individual paying users have opened a Level 1 VIP.

Tang Letong said excitedly: "Great, Wujiang Netdisk earned $1.3 million in revenue on the first day of its launch, which is off to a good start!" ”

After speaking, he immediately picked up the phone and called Zhao Ye.

"Boss, the Borderless Network Disk is on fire!!"

Tang Letong immediately reported the detailed data to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye smiled calmly, he had long expected this situation.

In the era when the capacity of hard disk is too small, the value of network disk is infinitely magnified.

"As the popularity of Wujiang Netdisk grows higher, the number of individual users and enterprise users will surge!" Zhao Ye said with a smile.

Tang Letong said with a smile: "The sales performance of Wujiang Netdisk is so good, now I can finally give investors an explanation." The second round of financing of Wujiang Portal can also be carried out smoothly! ”

"Yes! However, don't release the data for now, and let them know in a week's time. Zhao Ye said.

"Okay, Dong Zhao!"

……

The Borderless Network Disk is on fire.

There are even many people who have taken the initiative to promote it.

Universities and colleges,Teachers encourage students to use the borderless network disk,The teacher puts some courseware content into their own "My sharing",Students enter the borderless network disk page,Follow the teacher's network disk account,Then"My attention"Select the teacher's network disk account,Enter a set of passwords,You can download the courseware content。

By word of mouth, there are more and more users of Wujiang Netdisk.

For a time, major media in the industry reported one after another, and it also aroused heated discussions among netizens.

The major websites in the Internet industry also involuntarily investigated the Wujiang network disk.

A week later, the number of individual users of Wujiang Netdisk exceeded 23 million, of which 3.02 million were paid users, and the vast majority of them opened Level 1 VIP.

The increase in the number of enterprise users is also staggering, with 35,000 large, medium and small users already using Wujiang Netdisk, and the number of paid users is as high as 65%.

In just one week, the Wujiang portal has created a revenue of 160 million US dollars with the Wujiang network disk!

When Tang Letong informed the four major investment companies of the Borderless Portal of the news, the four major investment companies were stunned.

T !!

Don Valentine, CEO of Sequoia Capital, danced excitedly, his eyes lit up, if global netizens and enterprises all over the world become users of Wujiang Netdisk, wouldn't Wujiang Portal be profitable? !

Michael Pullman, CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, directly picked up the phone to contact Tang Letong and said: "Mr. Tang, isn't Wujiang Portal going to conduct a second round of financing? We, Goldman Sachs, would like to lead the investment!! ”

Morgan Stanley and Barclays couldn't sit still, stunned by shock.

At the same time, they can't help but think that if the Borderless portal enters the United States, the revenue will exceed $300 million in a week!

"Oh God, let's Morgan Stanley grab more shares of the borderless portal!!" Spencer Barnard, president of Morgan Stanley, muttered to himself.

几天后，无疆门户网站开始了第二轮融资，这时候，无疆门户网站的估值已经飙升到了一个极其恐怖的地步，至少600亿美元！

This time, the number of investment companies that came to participate in the financing was even larger.

Of course, Zhao Ye will not let Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley and Barclays Bank continue to grow, so in the second round of financing, Wujiang Portal will introduce more investors.

Tang Letong is fully responsible for the second round of financing, which plans to raise $10 billion.

After more than 10 days of negotiations, the investment was finally led by Goldman Sachs, followed by the remaining 11 investment companies.

This funding round will be the last of its kind before it goes public on the NASDAQ.

However, before going public, Zhao Ye hopes that the shareholders of Wujiang Portal will work together to promote Wujiang Portal to enter the US market.

At this time, the United States had actually discovered that what it had done could not create a devastating blow to the Borderless Group, but instead promoted in-depth cooperation between Europe and other regions and the Borderless Group, and achieved good results in science and technology and economy.

On the other hand, the United States has lagged behind Europe and even China in many areas, mainly in the Internet and semiconductor fields.

For example, ADSL is already popular in Europe, and the Internet is very fast.

As for the United States, it is still using MODEM dial-up, and the network speed is as slow as a snail.

Wujiang Group's ADSL has formed a patent barrier, and it is not easy to bypass it for a while. The United States must do more with less.

And the fiber optic technology in the United States is not good.

It is equally difficult to bypass the patents of the Borderless Group.

For various reasons, the development of the Internet in the United States has been much slower than in previous generations.

Nowadays, Americans look at Europeans on the Internet, and it is with deep envy.

Zhao Ye already feels that the United States is beyond its strength and will loosen restrictions on Wujiang Group and let some of Wujiang Group's products enter the American market.

Especially in the Internet industry, there is a growing call for Borderless Group to enter.

无数美国网民想要去无疆门户网站嗨皮，想要玩无疆集团开发的游戏，想要无疆集团提供更加先进的adsl技术，提高网速……

On March 1, 1995, the Wujiang portal announced that the second round of financing was successfully raised to 10 billion US dollars!

As soon as the news came out, it shook the world!

The Internet industry is happy, and the higher the market value of the leading big brother Wujiang portal, the higher the market value of their websites.

Investors may be full of expectations for them, not seeking to grow into a giant like the borderless portal, as long as they have one-tenth of it.

When the time comes, as soon as the website is listed, everyone will be able to make a lot of money.

At this moment, countless entrepreneurs are planning to enter the Internet industry, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they are all dreaming that the websites they develop can become borderless portals!

And investors are the same, as soon as their brains are hot, no matter what they do, even if you don't even type a code on your website, as long as you are creative, then invest!

From March 1 to March 11, tens of thousands of Internet companies around the world applied for registration.

And so the dot-com bubble was formed.

At this time, the Wujiang portal received financing, and there was nothing to say, so it continued to burn money, prepare to build data centers, buy servers, and raise Wujiang Group to fatten.

When the Internet bubble bursts, countless Internet companies go bankrupt, and the construction of data centers by Wujiang Portal has become a burden, no one will use it, and it will definitely lose serious money.

But now, the industry is great.

After the establishment of new Internet companies, most of them paid to use the Wujiang network disk function, which brought huge revenue to the Wujiang portal.

This makes the investors of the Borderless portal very happy.

As a result, they are also more and more eager to enter the US market and then list on the NASDAQ, which will be a carnival for all shareholders!

Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley, and other big capitals or conglomerates behind them are all lobbying the U.S. government at the moment.

The pressure on the US authorities is now very high.

This issue had to be discussed many times.

Of course, the local websites in the United States, mainly AOL, and the investors behind them do not want the Borderless portal to come in, so they do everything possible to obstruct it.

However, the American people's desire for the Borderless portal to come in is very loud.

"No, Wujiang portal has the support of the consortium and the support of the people, we really can't bear it, next year's US election, unless we don't want votes and sit still, otherwise, we must make changes!" Clinton said with a heavy face.

The people present were silent, and it was clear that everyone realized that it was unstoppable to let the borderless portal enter the US market......

1995年3月25号，美国当局终于扛不住压力，派出代表来到中国，希望跟无疆集团谈一谈……
