Rebirth: My Boss Is Too Humble
Chapter 125: Qq Explosion! The Goose Factory Is Out Of Money! (8Th Update!)
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Yihui took an hour to finish the test paper, called the test paper and left the classroom.
Walking out of the classroom, Ye Yihui turned on the cell phone that was turned off before the exam, and then saw the text message from brother Ma half an hour ago:
"Boss, we succeeded!!"
Seeing this text message, Ye Yihui smiled.
With so many product opinions from later generations, plus the advertisements on the Brilliant Game Forum, if this QQ is not successful, then it will be a hell of a life!
After thinking about it, Ye Yihui called out the phone book and dialed Brother Ma's number.
After ringing for a while, the phone was connected, and Brother Ma's excited voice came from the microphone: "Hello, boss!"
"Are there any registered users now?" Ye Yihui asked.
"Thirteen thousand!" Brother Ma said in a slightly trembling voice, "To be precise, it's 13,520~11!"
One hour breaks 10,000!
Rao Ye Yihui, who had already predicted that qq would become a big hit [is still a bit surprised by this number!
You must know that at this stage, the main force of surfing the Internet is mainly college students, and there are also some middle and high school students who sneak out.
And now at this stage, most colleges and universities across the country are in the final exam stage, and it is not on weekends. During such class time, middle and high school students have no chance to go online even if they want to!
Under the cover-up, the number of registered users reached more than 13,000 in just one hour of online time, which naturally means that this QQ is completely popular!
And it's on fire!
Ye Yihui smiled and said: "Very good! Congratulations everyone! We made it!"
Brother Xiaoma laughed and said, "Haha! Congratulations to the boss too!"
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Brother Xiao Ma asked after joking a few words.
"Next?" The corners of Ye Yihui's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, "Next, you have to take care of the servers!"
Take care of the server??
Brother Xiao Ma and the others couldn't help showing puzzled expressions.
What's the meaning?
Soon, brother Ma immediately remembered!
Yes! Server!
Brother Xiao Ma on the other end of the phone immediately turned his head to look at the computer screen, that sudden movement almost broke his own neck!
At this time, the number displayed on the backstage of QQ has jumped from the previous 13,000 to ten square four!
With just one call time, there are several hundred more registered users!
At the same time, in the statistical column next to the number of online users, it reads: 10010!
In other words, the number of simultaneous online users on QQ has exceeded 10,000!
Brother Xiao Ma then glanced at the eleven servers placed in a corner of the office.
These eleven servers can hold up to 53,000 people online at the same time. If it exceeds, there is a risk of crashing at any time!
"Old Ma, what's the matter? What are you looking at?" Chen Yidan asked beside him.
"Server!" Next to him, Zhang Zhidong said with a wry smile, "Next, we must be busy!"
As expected.
In the next few days, the registered users of qq continued to grow.
On the first day, the number of registered users exceeded 40,000, and the number of online users also reached 18,000.
On the second day, the number of registered users exceeded 80,000, and the highest number of concurrent online users exceeded 25,000!
By the third day, the number of registered users reached 130,000, and the number of simultaneous online users reached as many as 40,000!
And after the fourth day, the final exams of major colleges and universities will end, and the winter vacation will usher in. It can be expected that there will be a new wave of registration peaks at that time!
And with this wave of registration peaks, there must be the number of simultaneous online users!!
In order to prevent the server from going down due to the excessive number of online users, Xiao Ma, Zhang Zhidong, Xu Chenye and others immediately optimized the server from the third day, often six or seven times within a day!
However, even so, by the tenth day of going online, the eleven servers in the office had reached their limit!
At this time, the number of registered users has exceeded 500,000, and the number of online users has reached a maximum of 80,000!
So, forced to do nothing, several people could only take out the remaining four hundred thousand yuan on the company's books.
This money is the money that Ye Yihui invested in the establishment of the company. Apart from spending about 90,000 yuan on the company's rent and employee salaries, the remaining 400,000 yuan is still kept.
Several people discussed it, and finally took out 300,000 yuan to buy a mid-range server.
This mid-end server is about 31,000 yuan, and can host about 3,000 people online at the same time. After optimization, this number can be increased by about 40 to 50%, and the maximum can reach about 4,500 people!
In this way, ten servers can increase the number of simultaneous online users by another 45,000!
After some intense entanglement and bargaining, they finally succeeded in buying ten servers for 300,000 yuan!
...asking for flowers...
However, this server didn't let them last long in the end!
On February 9, 1999, the fifteenth day since the launch of QQ.
QQ registered users officially exceeded one million!
In the original historical track, it took qq a full nine months to create this achievement!
At this time, the account number of qq has already been upgraded from five digits to seven digits!
This is simply an unimaginable miracle!
For any Internet company, users are wealth, and if any Internet company has one million users, there is no doubt that they will be thrilled to death!
However, at this moment, Brother Xiao Ma and the others were so worried that they would die!
If these one million registered users were placed on forums or portal websites, it would have already brought them advertising profits.
However, as an instant messaging software, Xiao Ma and others have never thought of how they can rely on this to make money!
In fact, it's not just them, the other instant messaging software, including the originator ICQ, also don't have any profit methods or models!
QQ has not received a penny so far, on the contrary, because such a huge user base brings a huge number of simultaneous online users to hit their servers again and again, forcing them to spend money to buy new servers to Alleviate this huge traffic shock.
However, as early as a few days ago, they had already spent the last 100,000 yuan in the company account to buy a server!
Now, there is only less than 10,000 yuan left in the company account!
This money is not even enough to give Xiao Ma a monthly income alone!
In order to be able to raise money, Brother Xiaoma even went to the bank to get a loan. When he heard the other party ask what fixed assets could be mortgaged, Brother Xiaoma thought about the company's twenty-odd servers and some computer desks and chairs. , and then returned to the company silently.
With just that little stuff, you can’t borrow much money at all!
More importantly, they have not thought of a way to make money so far!
In the end, on February 12th, four days before the Spring Festival, after several days of discussions and struggles, several people finally made the same decision as the original historical process—sell QQ!
Of course, not all of them are sold, but some of their shares are sold!
Of course, this decision needs the consent of Ye Yihui!
After the discussion, Brother Ma sighed and said, "Call the boss!"
"See if he agrees or not!".
