My rebirth is different

Chapter 351 How Many Netizens Are There?

"Boss, please take a look. Now the Facebook V0.1 version has been preliminarily completed, and it can be launched at any time. Although this version is in accordance with your vision, BOSS, it only has the most basic functions, such as posting posts, photos, adding friends, adding followers, etc. In addition It does not have functions such as user authentication, user upgrade, and complex editing and typesetting. But compared to all competitors on the market, it is already too perfect..."

Holding a laptop, Lu Qi was demonstrating to Yuwenfei the Facebook that the technology department had developed in his office.

Yu Wenfei interrupted him directly, and said with a smile: "Facebook has no competitors! If there is, it is ourselves."

Lu Qi asked subconsciously: "Isn't Blog China?"

Currently, there is only one blog site in the mainland market, Blog China, so Lu Qi regards it as a competitor.

Yu Wenfei waved his hand, "Our star technology has more than 500 employees, and the number of senior technical personnel is also more than 200, and the investment is several hundred million! As for Blog China, I have personally invested 10,000+ and hired a few technicians. A website built in a month. Tell me, is it worthy of being our opponent!"

In the last sentence, Yu Wenfei was not in a questioning tone, but very affirmative.

It was only then that Lu Qi realized that it was a contest between two companies, not a fight between two amateur players.

From the perspective of the company, BlogChina is obviously not worthy of being an opponent of Facebook, whether it is in terms of technology or capital, it is not even worthy of giving Facebook a shoe.

The original intention of Blog China was to give the boss a place to publish his personal articles, nothing more.

The structure determines that this website will not have a large investment, let alone any future.

But Facebook, at the beginning of its establishment, is rushing to tens of millions of users, and even hundreds of millions of traffic!

The purpose is to dominate social networking sites on the domestic Internet!

"Ah...it seems like this...then we don't have any competitors on Facebook at the moment. This version 0.1 has been debugged and can be launched at any time. Boss, do you see?" Lu Qi asked.

Yu Wenfei looked at the calendar, today is November 25th.

Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, school has started for more than two months and almost three months, and I have been busy during this time.

Now, my first entrepreneurial project is going to be officially launched, and I can't help but feel a little excited.

"Then officially launch on December [-]st! Make the best preparations. Once the website is launched, no major problems are allowed, especially human error!" Yu Wenfei said seriously.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fei, with our technical strength and so many top-level servers, there is no pressure to run a blog site." Lu Qi said, patted his chest.

This is natural. If Yu Wenfei invested so much money and supported so many top technical talents, it would be a joke if he couldn't manage a blog.

"Then, is the preliminary promotion of our website about to start? Should we call our colleagues from the marketing department over to discuss it?" Lu Qi asked with concern.

Of course, it needs to be announced. Star Technology is not a small company, and it doesn’t need to slowly spread and slowly accumulate users like many Internet companies did when they first started their businesses.

From the starting point of Star Technology, if the number of registered users does not exceed 1000 million after one month of launch, it will be a failure!

It has been online for three months and the number of registered users does not exceed 5000 million. Yuwenfei will be very disappointed!
Yu Wenfei gave Lu Qi a task target, that is, the number of registered users must reach 6000 million within half a year, and reach [-] million within one year!

For this goal, Yuwenfei will allocate up to [-] million operating funds to attract users and engage in activities!

Money is not a problem, the problem is to spend to get results!
Yitang.com spent tens of millions of dollars a year on advertising, which has already attracted the attention of everyone in the Internet circle, but this time, Yu Wenfei will spend [-] million yuan in one year for operations!

In the cold winter of the Internet in 2002, Star Technology will become the hottest and most dazzling torch!
……%…………

The task target of 6000 million in half a year and [-] million in a year scared Lu Qi quite a bit. He never dared to think about this figure.

Originally, with Zimtech's foundation, Lu Qi felt that he could have several million users a year, and the best result would be around 1000 million, which is already quite remarkable.

Is there any website or software in China that can achieve this result.

Etang.com invested 5000 million US dollars, and now the number of users is only one million, and the number of active users is pitifully small.

In addition, he doubts whether Yu Wenfei's goal is based on facts, because it seems that there are not so many netizens in the country...

…………

In 2002, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of Internet users nationwide was about 6000 million.

There are only 6000 million netizens in total. Even if it takes another year, the number will increase to 2000 million. Why does Yu Wenfei dare to shout that the number of users will reach [-] million in one year?

That's because Yu Wenfei knows that the statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology are not true!

People of a certain age should know that in those years, what was the most popular entertainment among students across the country?
Internet cafes ah!

There are not many Internet cafes near universities, high schools, or even junior high schools!

Regular Internet cafes, black Internet cafes, and even a few computers can be called Internet cafes.

In the family, there are really not many people who own computers, because computers are relatively expensive, and Internet access is also expensive.

It can be said that 80.00% of the college and high school students in that era did not have their own computers, but 90.00% of the five or even 90.00% of the college and middle school students above the nine had been to Internet cafes.

The difference is how many times you go.

Some students even skipped classes for a long time, slept in the dormitory during the day, and went to the Internet cafe all night at night.

CS, Warcraft, StarCraft, and Red Alert were all very popular games in those years.

As for the online game, Legend of Blood has been online for a year, so brothers come and kill me!
As of November 2002, according to the latest information released by Shanda, the number of users of Legend of Blood has reached 11 million!
This number has exceeded the number of Internet users in the country announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology!
Obviously, there are many netizens who don't play legends, and the proportion of female netizens who cut legends is very small, right?
Therefore, in 2002, the real number of netizens in the country was absolutely beyond people's imagination.

According to Yu Wenfei's estimation, if the national college students, high school students, and junior high school students are counted, then the real number of Internet users in the country will far exceed 6000 million.

This number may be [-] million!
It may even be [-] million!

Therefore, Yu Wenfei is confident that within a year, the number of registered Facebook users will exceed [-] million.

His confidence comes from this, and his fan group also happens to be the students who surf the Internet the most!
