Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

On February 9, 2010, the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are still 4 days before the Chinese New Year.

At this time, the streets in Shanghai were lit up, and the New Year's flavor was already very strong.

But unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer people on the streets in Shanghai at this time, and many migrant workers have chosen to go home as the Chinese New Year approaches.

No matter how festive the decorations on the street are, there is still a trace of anger less when no one is there.

"Boss, the number of visits to our official website exceeded 10 million yesterday!" Wang Jing rushed to Luo Fan's office and said.

Xu Jiale, who was reporting the income of 2048 and Fruit Ninja with Luo Fan, couldn't help but complained at Wang Jing's reckless appearance: "Brother Wang, can't you hold your ground? After all, he is a senior executive of a company. "

"Stable! This is tens of millions of visits! Even if one tenth of the people download our APP, we can take off!"

"Brother Wang, I'm not talking about you, you just have this ambition! One million downloads is enough? We have scrapped so much publicity, and even licensed the patent for face recognition. In 2010, a whole Without 100 million downloads per year, it is blood loss." Xu Jiale said angrily.

"One hundred million! Xiao Xu, how dare you think about it!"

"No, Brother Wang, Brother Xu didn't talk nonsense. My initial goal is to reach 100 million downloads on the Xingyuan application platform in 2010." Luo Fan said.

"Boss, you are too whimsical! Not sure if there will be 100 million smartphones in 2010!"

"Brother Wang, don't worry! The number of smartphones in 2010 is definitely more than 100 million, and even 300 million!" Luo Fan said with a smile.

"how is this possible!"

"Why is it impossible? I received an internal message here that the three major operators will start promoting smartphones as soon as the Chinese New Year.

At that time, activities such as charging calls and sending mobile phones will appear one after another.

Smartphones will start to grow at an incredible rate, and I estimate that by New Year's Day 2011, there will be between 300 and 350 million smartphones. "

"Why do the three major operators mainly promote smartphones?" Wang Jing asked in a daze.

"To make money! Not to mention that the data consumption of other smartphones is much higher than that of ordinary mobile phones, and the data charges can make them a lot of money." Xu Jiale said.

"So, Brother Wang, our goal next year is to exceed 100 million downloads on the Xingyuan application platform. Don't be complacent about the millions of visits to the official website."

Wang Jing scratched his head and said nothing.

Xu Jiale continued to report.

"Boss, from the establishment of the company to February 8, 2010, the total download volume of the Apple Store in 2048 was a fraction of 3.41 million, and the download volume of the Google Store was 740,000, which was also not a fraction.

After excluding the Apple Store and Google Store's rake, and various taxes, we have a total profit of 13.07 million.

Fruit Ninja was on the shelves on January 1, 2010 to February 8, 2010, a total of 40 days, the download volume just exceeded 3 million, and the Google Store also had 1.5 million downloads.

After throwing away the commissions on both sides and various taxes, we have a total profit of 14.12 million. "

After listening to Xu Jiale's report, Wang Jing was taken aback.

He didn't expect these two games to be so profitable. The paid download alone has brought the company 27.19 million in revenue.

In addition to this money, the company also has 17 million for the boss to sell algorithms, and 15 million for face recognition and music-listening licenses.

The expenses are actually not much, renting an office, purchasing a computer, plus funding for the Taobao store that Gao Meng is responsible for, as well as employee wages, the total does not exceed 2 million.

There is also the boss's money to buy a house and a car, which adds up to almost two million.

In other words, the company now has about 54 million to 55 million in the account.

Wang Jing was secretly frightened. His last company opened for 5 or 6 years, and his account was only over 20 million before developing page games.

Luo Fan still knows how much money there is in the company's account, because every Monday morning, the accountant will send the calculated report to Luo Fan's mailbox.

There are now a total of 54,677,821 yuan in the company's account.

This figure can be placed in Shanghai in 2010 to buy a house of 2,500 square meters.

Even if he sits and waits for the appreciation, Luo Fan will not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life.

However, compared to buying a house, Luo Fan has a better way to appreciate.

Some colleagues of Luo Fan's previous life once said that three things that must be bought in the past are Apple stocks, Maotai wine, and the other one is BTC.

The concept of BTC was first proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009. When Luo Fan was reborn, BTC actually appeared not long ago.

In 2010, an important event happened. On May 21, American programmer Rassler exchanged 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, equivalent to a market price of $30.

This connection is seen as the starting point for BTC to generate value, when the initial value of each BTC should be $0.003, which is almost 1.88 cents.

In this way, the price of BTC has increased millions of times in the past ten years, which can be regarded as the most successful investment.

According to Luo Fan's assumption, he intends to buy 200,000 BTC.

Because Luo Fan is afraid that if he buys too much, it will affect the future value of BTC.

BTC itself is a decentralized currency.

The so-called decentralization does not mean that the center is not needed, but that the nodes freely choose and decide the center.

If a person collects too much BTC, this person will affect the choice of the center, and it may be that BTC will have such value at that time.

The total number of BTC is limited. The currency system used to have no more than 10.5 million in 4 years. After that, the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million. If Luo Fan takes 1% of it, the impact on the center is minimal. Just right.

Once it exceeds 1%, the impact on centralization will increase, and when it reaches 10%, the choice of centralization can be influenced, so Luo Fan’s personal holding of 1% is the safest.

"Dongdong~" A sudden knock on the door interrupted Luo Fan's thoughts.

"Come in."

As soon as Luo Fan finished speaking, Gao Meng pushed open the door and came in.

"Is Assistant Gao here to report the operation of the online store?" Xu Jiale asked.

Gao Meng nodded and handed Luo Fan the two prepared folders.

Luo Fan casually opened the above folder and browsed it quickly.

Luo Fan was a little surprised when he saw that as of January 27, 2010, the profit of the online store exceeded one million.

To be honest, Luo Fan didn't expect the online store to make so many people. From the beginning, he just regarded the online store as a one-shot deal, thinking about raising the funds to start the company in the early stage, he stopped opening it.

If it weren't for Gao Meng's appearance, Luo Fan would have closed the online shop long ago.

Later, after Gao Meng took over the online store, Luo Fan only made two payments to the online store, and didn't ask any further questions after that.

Who knew that Gao Meng had quietly built an online store.
