Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

/*Fixed a bug. The recommended users of gmail changed from 3 to 1. I calculated it wrong.*/

{Time: December 2, 2002}

{Location: Special Administrative Region}

Different from the nervousness every time skrpe goes online, because Zhang Xiaolong is a calm person and gmail also uses different promotion techniques, gmail has always been very low-key after going online.

Today is the 20th day since gmail went online silently, and the foxmail team is still as quiet as usual.

Chen Li, who had been keeping the monitor on for two days to monitor user monitoring data, accidentally glanced at the monitor and suddenly let out a surprised sound.

Although it was just a simple syllable, the girl's unique clear voice still caught Zhang Xiaolong's attention.

Zhang Xiaolong looked at her and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Chen Li didn't answer, but turned the monitor she saw to Zhang Xiaolong. Zhang Xiaolong glanced at the monitor, and then he couldn't help but let out a "huh" sound.

"We only have a total of 2,000 premium accounts, and each person has 10 invitation codes. Even if they are all distributed, the first month's data should be 2,000 users. Why did the data suddenly exceed 3,000 today?" Zhang Xiaolong looked at Chen Li

, couldn’t help but be curious.

Chen Li smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what's going on. Didn't we set that it takes a month for new users to be able to issue invitation codes?"

Zhang Xiaolong's frowning brows were engraved with a big Chinese character Sichuan. He really couldn't understand why there was such a change.

You must know that in order to cooperate with Da Dangjia's hunger marketing promotion strategy, gmail has set very strict invitation conditions.

This gives gmail a sense of "superiority" among the current email user group.

In order to keep this sense of superiority alive and cultivate email users' high recognition of Gmail mailboxes, Gmail determined that this limited development model would be maintained for at least two years.

But with such strict restrictions, could a set bug appear in the first month?

We are all programmers, who can stand this bug!

Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but said, "No, I'm going to check and see where the problem is!"

"Ah? No, what will you do if you find me?" Ning Zimo raised his head with a "horrified" look on his face, but the smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes made Zhang Xiaolong stunned.

Emperor Penguin has a unique office culture. Currently, except for the product department, which is a closed space, all other office spaces are open. Therefore, the main person in charge of each company under Emperor Penguin has the same size desk, and no one has an exception.

No one has a separate office.

Because the biggest boss of Emperor Penguin, Ning Zimo, hangs around various locations in the office area on weekdays. Almost every company leader has an office desk near him.

Among all the Emperor Penguins, he is the only one who has this special case - one person owns n tables.

At this time, he was sitting in the foxmail team area, forming a confrontation with Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Li.

Chen Li looked at the frozen Zhang Xiaolong, then turned to look at the headmaster. She blinked her big eyes full of curiosity.

According to the boss, what kind of shameful thing did he do behind their back?

Chen Li stood up and walked to Ning Zimo's side, and found that the notebook in front of him had a million pages open.

A large Gmail picture was displayed on the page. She took a closer look and found that the page was actually an auction page worth 100 million times. The page record clearly recorded that the current auction price of the Gmail invitation code had been raised to 89 US dollars.

!

"Master, you insist on stealing yourself!!!" Chen Li exclaimed.

But those last four words were pushed back by Ning Zimo's finger on his lips.

"Shh~~~ I used our Luban e-commerce platform's automatic publishing software. I sold 3 Gmail invitation codes every day, and the current average transaction price is 95 US dollars each." Ning Zimo smiled naively.

He lowered his voice and said, "It is estimated that the average price of Gmail invitation codes will reach 100 US dollars in a few days. It is estimated that this month we can earn more than 8,000 US dollars in revenue by relying on stolen invitation codes."

Chen Li felt that her eyes were so wide-eyed for the first time, because it was the first time she heard someone talk about being a thief so confidently.

But what she saw was more than that, there was an automatic program executing on the interface in front of her.

Pointing to the program that was constantly posting, Chen Li was so surprised that he was speechless.

"Oh~~ This is wow, let me tell you secretly, I also sell invitation codes through the forum. It is also through billions of transactions, but the unit price can only be sold for 70 yuan. Of course, I have limited the quantity, so that every day only through various

The account randomly outputs 10 accounts to various forums. In the end, buyers are guided to trade under other names in Yibi."

Ning Zimo scratched his head, still grinning innocently, "The purchase price is a bit low, the estimated income is 21,000 US dollars a month. But I am an ethical businessman and will not sell false invitation codes. So, my 100

There are many Yibi seller accounts, which are quite famous in the Yibi community."

Xiao Chen Li's surprised expression was so petrified that Ning Zimo specially explained, "Hey, don't be too surprised. After all, there are people who sell even if I don't sell. But I secretly sell in different regions, so that I can help our gmail

Earning nearly 30,000 U.S. dollars every month, doesn’t this provide some extra working capital?”

What Ning Zimo said made sense, but Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Li, standing side by side behind him, had turned into stone.

They never thought that their boss, who is already the boss of a company with more than 200 people and one of the important founders of Gmail, would still care about these petty profits!

"But~~you~~it only counts 390 invitation codes, but our users have exceeded 25,000!"

Affected by Ning Zimo, Chen Li also spoke in a low tone.

"No matter how strict the settings are, they can't prevent a mole!" Ning Zimo laughed mischievously, which once again aroused the curiosity of Chen Li and Zhang Xiaolong.

Zhang Xiaolong followed his hint and glanced a few times with doubts, only to find that another monitor in front of Ning Zimo was also executing some automatic program.

After taking a closer look, Zhang Xiaolong felt ashamed. On the split-screen monitor connected in front of Ning Zimo, the action being performed was to continuously send emails through a gmail mailbox from a text library with a recommendation code.

.

I don’t know how Ning Zimo’s automatic program is set up. Although the program is very slow, it persists in reading foxmail account information and sends gmail invitation codes to those mailboxes.

Zhang Xiaolong finally knows where the 3,000 excess users came from. Is there really such a high-level mole in this world?

An insider who has both foxmail user data and unlimited gmail invitation codes is here. The whole operation is difficult to detect.

On the one hand, this undistinguished boss is selling invitation codes to make money, and on the other hand, he is still finding new ways to send invitation emails to foxmail users to register for gmail mailboxes.

Judging from the efficiency of standing behind him for a few minutes, that program can receive an invitation code for one user with a foxmail terminal every 2 minutes.

"I have limited the program to randomly send out 3,000 invitation codes every 30 days. If there are now more than 25,000 registered Gmail accounts, it means that all the invitation codes sent have been activated." Ning Zimo said with a smile, "It looks like ours

Gmail is quite popular."

Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Li looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they really couldn't explain their inner feelings.

This young big boss doesn't have the consciousness of a big boss at all, and he actually does such a little trick in private.

But what can they say?

That he doesn't follow the rules?

He is doing it for gmail!

The income of nearly 30,000 US dollars a month is not much, but it is a real income for gmail. And these extra income and users are obviously his way of continuing to use "insider" operations to maintain the influence of gmail.

one.

Although he did not participate in the development of Gmail, he proposed the refresh-free Ajax framework; he set the software interface using Nuwa; he set Gmail's promotion strategy; and he personally made the topic of Gmail continue to be brewed.

.

He did not participate in the development of gmail, but he also invested a lot of energy in gmail.

"I can only do these little things now, that is, for these three to five months, so don't worry about it. After these three to five months, you will have to rely on the attention that gmail has accumulated in recent times."

To maintain growth." Ning Zimo rubbed his nose and whispered.

In fact, the actions Ning Zimo is doing now were planned early in the morning.

In the previous life, Gmail only used the invitation code mechanism on 300 Pentium 3 servers. This prevented all the 1,000 early Gmail users from being released so quickly, and Fengyu's Gmail project also accidentally conducted a starvation marketing campaign.

.

But it was this mistake that made gmail invitation codes become a popular "commodity" for a period of time.

So much so that gmail invitation links are selling for hundreds of millions of dollars, with the highest selling price reaching as high as 150 US dollars, which has also led to the emergence of websites such as gmail s A large number of people with keen business vision use various methods to cater to users holding invitation codes.

There is a demand for outsourcing, and there are too many people fighting to get an invitation code.

Ning Zimo saw the short-term benefits of this matter and took action on his own in advance.

This change of direction will bring the Gmail topic to a new level in a short period of time. As for how high it can go, Ning Zimo feels that at least it will not be worse than Gmail in his previous life.

But such a thing cannot be known to the outside world that it was done by an internal member of the Gmail team, so when Ning Zi silently monitored the theft, he used various springboards to avoid possible tracking.

I watched helplessly as Ning Zimo ran various "poaching socialist corners"...sexy operations on his computer!

Zhang Xiaolong really had nothing to say.

all this,

Not all,

For the good of gmail?

"Brother, please put me down. My feet will feel much better now..."

Zhang Junya lies on her brother Ning Zimo's back. Although it makes her miss the happiness of being carried home by her brother after walking with sprained ankles several times when she was a child, she is already over 18 years old after all, and such happy times are no longer in her mind.

Not my adult self.

"We're home in just a few steps. I'll put you on the sofa to rest." Ning Zimo's breath was a little confused, but he still insisted on walking forward.

When she turned the corner of the corridor, Zhang Junya's mind was still filled with memories of the happy time when she was a child, lying on her brother's shoulder. Thinking that the time she spent seeing him gradually became less and less, she simply clung to him obediently and even put her face against him.

Between his brother's neck.

"Brother, it's great to have you here..."

Before Zhang Junya finished speaking, she felt her brother who had just turned the corner stop.

She raised her head curiously and found that her brother and her beautiful sister Lu Xiaona, who was carrying garbage across the door, were looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Hee hee, how long has it been since he saw a beautiful girl, and how long has it been since he saw her unable to even move her legs?

I didn’t expect that he was dead when he was in school, and he is still like this now!

Ning Zimo looked at Lu Xiaona with surprise in her eyes, and felt that the fate was really wonderful, so she spoke unconsciously.

"What a coincidence?"

"Well, I was just about to go out to eat and take out the trash."

Lu Xiaona recovered from her surprise and quickly threw away the garbage bag in her hand. The word coincidence flashed through her mind, and she did not expect that the young and handsome man who fainted in front of her last time actually turned out to be real.

They are neighbors across the door.

She clearly remembered his name Ning Zimo.

These days, as the decoration of the opposite door gradually takes shape, Lu Xiaona has seen the young girl on Ning Zimo's back several times.

She once overheard that when she was chatting with the short designer, the designer always said what her brother was doing.

At that time, Ning Zimo's face appeared in her mind unconsciously. She didn't expect that the person who always appeared in her mind would appear in front of her in this way today.

Ning Zimo didn't expect that he would meet Lu Xiaona when he came here for the first time after the house was renovated. When he thought about leaving for the United States next week, he blurted out out of nowhere:

"Since we met by chance, why don't we go have dinner together later?"

Zhang Junya didn't expect that her brother would actually know the beautiful sister across the street. Because she was lying on Ning Zimo's back, she could clearly feel that her brother's muscles became slightly stiff as soon as he finished speaking.

What surprised her was that he would take the initiative to invite girls to have dinner together?

Is this the biggest change since he entered society from school?

Zhang Junya turned her gaze to Lu Xiaona with interest, and suddenly saw the beautiful sister opposite her smiling.

"Okay, it would be more lively for the three of us to eat together, so let me treat you to chicken pot."
