Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

While Qiandu was discussing the response strategy.

Some companies that followed Lu Yi into the search engine field, such as Goosehang, Wangyi, Sohu, etc., also held high-level meetings one after another.

They all invested a lot of resources in search engine projects, just waiting for their products to gain traffic, but suddenly Lu Yi stabbed him in the back like this, and they couldn't even defend against it.

Even Qiandu, a ‘senior’, needs hao123 to drive traffic, let alone ‘juniors’ like them.

I originally planned to have a good talk with Li Xingping of hao123 after my own product was launched, so that my own search engine portal could replace Qiandu.

result.

Lu Yi didn't take any action, but when he did, he directly hit their vital points.

He even took all their pots away.

If the navigation website hao123 is not available, who will use their search engine if it is online?

Are you counting on those high-end players?

Why should Qiandu and Guge use them well and transfer them to your camp hall?

so.

The initial goals of companies such as Echang, Wangyi, and Sohu were the same as Lu Yi, and they all planned to take the route of surrounding cities from rural areas.

But now the hao123 website has been acquired by Lu Yi, which is like directly blocking their path to success.

then.

After deliberation, they found the same two paths before them.

One is to acquire a navigation website.

The second is to create a navigation website yourself.

It was only when they looked around that they realized that among the navigation websites on the market now, there really is no website with better traffic and more traffic than hao123.

Rather than spending a lot of money to acquire a navigation website that is not very useful, it is better to spend millions to create one yourself, and you have enough time anyway.

The disturbances from the outside world did not affect Yi.

With hao123 in his pocket, it can be said that he won the first victory, but he can't relax about the rest.

The Jisou project is moving forward in an orderly manner.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xiaolong, WeChat is also on the right track.

As for the hao123 website, Lu Yi didn't think about changing anything. He just asked two programmers to perform daily maintenance on the website.

As for the Foxmail mailbox, Yu Chao is in charge.

Email is also a very large market.

At this stage, the most commonly used email address in the world is Microsoft's Hotmail.

The mailbox with the highest usage rate in China is Wangyi’s 163 mailbox.

As for Guge Gmail, which surpassed Microsoft Hotmail in just one year in 2004, it cannot be used in China for some reason.

At this stage, the domestic email market can be said to be divided among itself.

NetEase's 163 mailbox took the lead, followed by Microsoft's Hotmail, and then Foxmail and Goose Factory's QQ mailbox, which were evenly matched.

Lu Yi had no intention of giving up the email business, so he asked Yu Chao and other people in charge of Foxmail to talk.

"Director Lu

In the conference room, Yu Chao, Yu Hanwei and others stood up to say hello.

Lu Yi waved his hand: "Everyone has a seat. I am here for a meeting this time because I want to talk about the removal of Foxmail."

When Yu Chao and others heard this, their hearts trembled.

Is Lu Yi planning to cut off Foxmail?

"Director Lu, as you promised before, you will keep Foxmail in operation and will not cut it off." Yu Chao said directly.

Lu Yi looked at Yu Chao in surprise: "When did I say I was going to cut off Foxmail? I came to you because I want to tell you some of my plans and suggestions for the future development of Foxmail."

Yu Chao and others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Just don't cut off Foxmail.

after all.

This is the hard work of their entire team over several years.

I just don’t know how Lu Yi will plan the future development of Foxmail.

"When I acquired Foxmail, I had an agreement with you that in the future Foxmail would become an additional product of the school network. Although I know that you are not willing to accept it, I have already thought of a new name for Foxmail, and it will be called the school network. Mail."

"At the same time, the English name Foxmail is too long and difficult to pronounce. It needs to be changed. Just remove the two letters ox. From now on, the English name will be called Fmail. It is simple and easy to remember. Do you have any objections?"

After Lu Yi finished speaking, his eyes swept across everyone.

really.

Yu Chao and others showed sad expressions on their faces.

However, they did not speak and remained silent.

Foxmail has been in operation to this day. Except for the highlight moment when it was first launched, it has been in a state of limbo since then.

Even the QQ mailbox launched by Goose Factory in 2002 cannot do it.

"You don't need to be sad, it's just a name change, and I do this to give Foxmail a better development prospect."

"In my opinion, Foxmail is a very good software. I hope that Internet users all over the world can use Foxmail to send and receive emails, instead of becoming a classic among a small group of people."

"Everyone has been with the company for a while, and should have a general understanding of the company. At this stage, the number of users of our Xiaonei network has exceeded 100 million worldwide.

"Now that Foxmail has become one of our products, the more than 100 million Xiaonei network users are the potential users of Foxmail.

"At this stage, as far as I know, Foxmail only has less than 10 million users. Compared to the 100 million or even the 200 to 300 million in the future, there is still a huge market waiting for you to develop."

"50% of the current Foxmail mailboxes are concentrated among overseas white-collar workers and the Internet class, while domestically, the government accounts for 30%, and the remaining 20% ​​are also domestic white-collar workers and the Internet class."

"Do you want Foxmail to reach individuals and thousands of households?"

"think!"

Yu Chao and others shouted loudly, with burning light blooming in their eyes.

"very good!"

Lu Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"Since you all think so, then changing the name of Foxmail is our first step towards innovation!"

"If you don't destroy it, you won't stand it. If you break it, you will stand it up!"

"Only by having the courage to admit the shortcomings of the product can we better create an excellent and popular software."

"Director Lu, we all accept the name change." Yu Chao and others said.

They are not pedantic people. After weighing the pros and cons, they can accept it.

"Okay then, the name of the new mailbox has been officially decided, and it will be called the school network mailbox Fmail."

"The name is confirmed. Next, I will talk about how to build Fmail into a software with over 100 million users [or even over 1 billion in the future."

“First, the interface must be beautiful, convenient and practical, and user-friendly.”

"Second, expand the mailbox memory. The goal I set for you is that when the campus mailbox Fmail comes back online to serve users, the size of the mailbox can reach 1G capacity, and it will continue to grow over time. We need to continue to expand.”

"Third, Fmail must have a powerful anti-spam function, use a variety of technologies to identify emails, accurately identify spam and non-spam emails, and reduce users' time wasted in screening spam emails."

“Fourth, it has more powerful support for email labels, to-dos, reminders, notes, etc., making it easier to manage emails.

"Fifth, attachment preview can preview commonly used office attachments."

"Sixth, relevant data can be connected to the school network, and you can directly register an Fmail mailbox with a school network account.

"seventh…………………

Lu Yi talked about more than a dozen optimization functions in one breath, which made Yu Chao and others stunned.

"In a word, our Fmail mailbox is pursuing the ultimate user experience."

"You can get started directly without any difficulty. Add in the few small functions I just mentioned, and then this software will be a success!"

"If it's done well, if nothing else, at least the number of users will exceed 100 million. There will be no problem!"
