Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 117 Goose Factory Buys a Domain Name

(The discount of [-]/[-] in the previous chapter was correct. Readers confused me, so I changed it over and over again. The original text is correct. This week, it is strongly promoted on the PC side. Everyone who has a recommendation vote will vote and rush down the recommendation list)

The "I want to play interactive community" created by Fang Jie can be said to be a game interactive website with a viral promotion model.

On the same day, all the registered players in the MUD were brought into the pit, and the online enthusiasm was far higher than that of the MUD game.

The key is to hang up in the interactive community, and it will not affect playing MUD. If you want to fight PK and go to MUD, you can go to the community to play when you hang up.

Even, the game chat channel seemed to be banned that day, and no one spoke in it.

Because chatting in the community chat room, you can get water experience!

That being the case, who the hell still chats in the game?Waste of saliva is not it?
As a result, the "Internet Gold Channel" chat room of "I want to play the interactive community" directly replaced the chat channel in the MUD game. Everyone chatting, doing transactions, etc., all went to the website chat room to shout.

Some players who didn't get the news felt very strange after entering the game, thinking that they had entered the ghost server, because while no one was talking in the chat channel, the game was obviously crowded with players everywhere, what the hell!
The first batch of players who settled in the community are only 2 to 3 people, basically the players in the MUD game.

But on the second day after the "I want to play interactive community" was launched, the peak number of concurrent online users exceeded 5, and the server went down on the spot.

At this time, it coincides with the May [-]st holiday. Those who have money go out to travel, and those who have no money go to Internet cafes to play games online. As a result, as long as there is a member of the "I want to play" community in the Internet cafe, they will drag other people present to register "I want to play". If you want to play "community to add friends, or someone passed by the computer and saw this interesting game website, and after inquiring about it, they took the initiative to enter the pit.

Then there is the headline on the front page of Netease News that advertises "I want to play an interactive community".

This is of course due to Li Yu, but also to RMB.

Yesterday was Labor Day, and the front page headlines couldn't be bought. Today, Fang Jie spent money to buy the news advertisement space on the front page headlines through Li Yu. The effect is of course leveraged.

This money is not pocketed by Li Yu himself, but a formal procedure in the name of Hong Kong Boiling Network Culture Communication Technology Co., Ltd., which is equivalent to generating income for Netease's editorial department, and naturally, all comers are welcome.

A large number of netizen members settled in, so that the 5 servers prepared by Fang Jie couldn't stand the toss at all, and they exploded within two clicks. He had to call the provincial capital to urgently order 10 servers!

Fortunately, it was the May Day holiday, so Fang Jie had time to spend the whole day in the Internet cafe, otherwise he could only watch his interactive community website crash.

Then that night, the number of simultaneous online users in the interactive community exceeded 10, and the server failed, and the bandwidth couldn't keep up. I had to call the provincial capital again and order 20 servers again overnight!

But Fang Jie couldn't quench his thirst, so Fang Jie immediately found Liu Qiang and bought 20 computers in the Internet cafe. In other words, he directly bought Liu Qiang's Internet cafe, and then temporarily changed all the computers in the Internet cafe to servers.

It’s impossible not to do this. It’s not just a problem of not enough servers. The small computer room can no longer accommodate so many server hosts, so we can only expand the area of ​​the computer room.

Liu Qiang couldn't wish for this. Anyway, the price given by Fang Jie was reasonable enough. Basically, he bought it at the original price without including the depreciation fee. In this way, he got a big deal instead, and just returned the funds to open an Internet cafe in the provincial capital.

This is the money-burning model of the Internet industry. The cost of servers, bandwidth, and electricity bills has soared exponentially, but profits are far from visible.

Speaking of the cost of electricity bills, Wang Changxu found Fang Jie early the next morning: "The electricity bills cannot be waived, I really can't bear it."

Fang Jie has built more than 50 servers. Based on the power consumption of each host at 200 watts per hour and the cost of industrial electricity at 1.2 yuan/kWh, the electricity bill alone is more than 300 yuan per day, and more than 1 yuan a month. electricity bills.

The hole was too big, no matter how awesome Wang Changxu was, no matter how much he tried to save face, he couldn't withstand such consumption.

Of course Fang Jie could understand the other party, he just asked, "When will Brother Wang go to the province to take up a post?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wang Changxu beamed with joy: "It's settled, at the end of the month. I see that you have more and more servers. When I go to the provincial capital, brother, you have to keep your word and throw this business to you." I do."

"Of course, it's a win-win cooperation..."

Fang Jie thought for a while, and said: "To be honest, the Internet cafe in the provincial capital has been built, and it is currently being renovated, and it will be completed in a week or so. At that time, the procedures for the Internet cafe, software and hardware configuration, etc. It will take some time, and when the time comes, Brother Wang will have to help the village with the network cable."

"I didn't say anything." Wang Changxu nodded and smiled at Fang Jie.

Fang Jie really helped Wang Changxu's promotion this time.

Moreover, the entire Tongcheng telecommunications system has also made great contributions to him, and basically all of them have been promoted to a higher level. Everyone from top to bottom thanked Wang Changxu for "selfless" and taking them flying.

And Wang Changxu knew very well that the person they should thank was actually Fang Jie standing behind the scenes, but unfortunately this kid didn't care about these at all.

Others don't care, he can't care less, especially the Provincial Telecom Corporation has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with 51ka, now Fang Jie is someone who can be listened to in the sky, casually say a word in front of the leader, it may decide his Wang Changxu's career life and death.

If it wasn't for the abnormality of the electricity bill, he really wanted to reduce this part of the bill. Anyway, the government paid for it, right?
Of course, Wang Changxu is not worried about what Fang Jie will do to him. Once China Telecom and China Mobile are split, the leader who can talk should go to China Mobile to become the boss. , I still have use value for Fang Jie.

Fang Jie is not as complicated as Wang Changxu thinks. He just thinks that if it does not affect his own interests, he can help. There are many friends and multiple ways. Even a little girl like Zhang Yan is willing to help her. Let alone a young and promising potential stock like Wang Changxu?
Speaking of potential stocks...

In the afternoon, Fang Jie received a call from a stranger who claimed to be Zeng Liqin, the chief operating officer of Tencent, and one of the five founders of Tencent.

Around April 4th, Tencent completely lost the domain name related to OICQ after arbitration by the relevant institutions of Citigroup, and had to use other domain names instead.

Only at this moment did Tencent realize the importance of domain names, or the importance of intellectual property rights.

In the past, everyone was copying and copying. More than 90% of domestic users used pirated WINDOWS operating systems, and no one came to ask for trouble.

But just because no one is looking for trouble does not mean there is no trouble. Once it becomes big and is targeted, it is an absolute loss, and it can only be admitted.

For example, Tencent’s QQ software and domain name, Laomei can’t sue its software for plagiarizing ICQ in China.

In desperation, when Tencent reconsidered the domain name, it accidentally discovered that the owner of the domain name QQ.COM was actually a Chinese. Of course, it must find a way to get it.

So the purpose of the other party's call is to inquire about the transfer price of the domain name QQ.com.

It's just that the other party actually offered a price on the phone: "My company is willing to pay 5 yuan to buy your domain name. Think about it?"
