I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 417 Only one bed?

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon that day, Lin Xiao returned to Silicon Valley from Los Angeles.

Fadell and Dong Meilan had received the news a long time ago, so they were waiting at the company at this time. Lin Xiao was a little surprised that Lan Yumo was there with luggage.

However, seeing that Lan Yumo didn't seem to come forward to say hello for the time being, Lin Xiao and Fadell first came to the technical department in charge of background statistics.

"Hey, Boss! The growth rate is very fast now"

As soon as he entered the office of the technical department, Fadell immediately said to Lin Xiao very happily.

"After 7 hours of being online, the number of registered users of Gplayer has exceeded 20, and the number of people who have purchased songs has reached 5, and this number is still rising."

"It seems that the momentum is good." Lin Xiao nodded with a smile after listening, "The number of users of our Gplayer is now 800 million?"

"No, there are nearly 900 million." Fadell immediately followed up and said, "That's the previous number."

As he said that, Fadell said excitedly: "If all these users become registered users, or even purchase users, even if they only buy one song, we will still have sales of 9000 million yuan."

But after finishing speaking, Fadell also laughed, "Of course, this sounds impossible."

"It is naturally impossible for Gplayer's current 900 million users to become paying users, but it is obviously not impossible to sell 9000 million."

Lin Xiao said with a smile at this time, and then he began to analyze the possible number of paying Gplayer with Fadell and others.

The number of paid users of Gplayer is not only related to Gplayer users, but also related to Gpod.

Because currently, Gplayer only supports importing songs into Gpod.

There is no way around this point, after all, if this point is not added, it is impossible for those record companies to agree to cooperate.

For Lin Xiao, this is indeed one of the most effective means to promote Gpod sales.

So at this stage, users who will choose to pay for Gplayer should all be users who have purchased Gpod.

From this point of view, after four months, the sales volume of Gpod in Quanmi is about 60, and the current peak paid users are 60, which is still somewhat different from the actual 800 million users.

"60, hey, that's not bad." Fadell said with a smile. Of course, the excitement was much lower than before.

"But, Fadell, this is only the current peak." Lin Xiao quickly said again.

"This peak will continue to grow, because our Gpod sales continue to grow, and there is another situation, when music lovers feel great with Gplayer, they may want to buy Gpod."

Fadell nodded with bright eyes, "Yes, the sales of Gpod are also growing rapidly."

"It's not just that." Lin Xiao continued: "Paying users of Gplayer are not one-time consumption. As new songs are continuously released, they will continue to purchase, so this income is continuously growing. .”

"Yes, and they don't just buy one song at a time." Fadell immediately followed up.

"For example, now, the average purchase amount of those 5 users has reached 5 million yuan."

Lin Xiao laughed, "So, it is not difficult to achieve the revenue target you mentioned."

Of course, he didn't say anything further, because of the vigorous development trend of consumer electronics and digital music, he has talked too much now, and the people present will not have a deeper understanding.

But even so, it was enough to make Fadell and others very excited.

Lin Xiao turned to Fadell and asked, "Is the cooperation with PayPal going well?"

"Yes, they do a good job with payments, our whole payment system is very smooth," Fadell replied.

Even Lin Xiao, who is a Chinese, is no stranger to PayPal. This is the most famous online payment company in the United States, and one of its founders is Elon Musk, who later made Tesla.

Of course, PayPal is not, strictly speaking, founded by Elon Musk.

It was launched in 99 by a company called Confinity, whose founders were Peter Thiel and Max Lavchin.

That is, in 99, Elon Musk established a payment business company "X.com".

In the previous life, it was in the second half of this year that Elon Musk merged X.com with Confinity and continued to use the name of PayPal.

And in later generations, because Elon Marks is more famous than the other two, everyone thinks that PayPal (PayPald) was founded by him.

Lin Xiao passed the information in his mind for a while, then nodded and said to Fadell: "Then our Gplayer will collect fees through cooperation with them for the time being."

"Oh, by the way, after 24 hours of going online tomorrow, we will tell the four major record companies our data, so that they will have more confidence." Lin Xiao said to Fadell again.

"Okay, Boss!" Fadell agreed wholeheartedly.

It was almost time to get off work, Lin Xiao went outside again, approached Lan Yumo and asked, "Yumo, why are you here? Where are you going?"

"I thought you were going to stay in Los Angeles for a few days, so I thought I might as well go back to New York first. Later, Manager Dong told me that you would be back today, so I thought I'd better talk to you face to face."

After hearing Lan Yumo finish speaking, Lin Xiao knew why Lan Yumo was here with his luggage. After thinking about it, he said to Lan Yumo:
"I can't stay in Silicon Valley for a few more days, why don't you stay for a few more days, anyway, stock trading is the same in Silicon Valley and New York."

"Okay!" Lan Yumo listened, but did not refuse.

Lin Xiao took Lan Yumo's luggage, put it in his car, and let Pang Fei drive him to the hotel.

Still only one room was opened, Lan Yumo was used to it anyway, and had been here for the past few days.

After the two came to the hotel room together, they put down their things casually, but Lan Yumo always felt that something was wrong.

But for a few days in the hotel, both of them shared the same room, and Lan Yumo couldn't figure out what was wrong.

The room is still big, with all the necessary facilities, and the luggage is separated.

Lan Yumo turned her eyes around, and finally found something wrong. She looked at the big bed, turned her cold eyes, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but asked Lin Xiao:

"Why is there only one bed?"

Lin Xiao glanced at the big bed after listening, and said very calmly: "Oh, the waiter seemed to say that there are no double rooms, only big bed rooms."

Before Lan Yumo could speak, Lin Xiao immediately continued, "There's no need to open another room. It's fine. If you're not used to it, I'll just sleep on the sofa. After all, it's not easy to make money, and it's good to save a little."

After listening to Lin Xiao's words, Lan Yumo thought about the hundreds of millions of dollars he had earned from the stock market, and remained silent.
