My rebirth is different

Wu Xiu naturally didn't go back to her hometown. In Chen County, she didn't have much to worry about to be honest.

In addition, Yu Wenfei did not go back, so Wu Xiu stayed with him at school.

During the vacation, Wu Xiu didn't live in the dormitory, so she sneaked to the teacher's apartment where Yu Wenfei lived, and lived here at night.

After the passion, the two snuggled up and chatted.

"I contacted Meng Qi today."

With that said, Wu Xiu glanced at Yu Wenfei.

"Hehe, I also said that I would visit her after school started, but I never found time to come. Tsinghua University, I also want to visit." Yu Wenfei laughed.

Wu Xiu wasn't jealous either, she already knew about it, and Yu Wenfei and Zhou Mengqi were considered to be ahead of her.

"While chatting on QQ, Meng Qi also sent me a photo. She just took a photo in Tsinghua University. She looks a lot thinner. This silly girl must be studying as hard as she was in high school. I also put I sent her a few photos of our school, but it's a pity that it's too troublesome to send photos, but I took a lot of them." Wu Xiu continued.

These days, there is no video chat, and remote contact is through telephone, QQ, MSN and the like.

It is not easy to look at each other's photos, but digital cameras do exist.

Zhou Mengqi was admitted to Tsinghua University, and Chenxian Middle School gave her a lot of bonuses, so she bought a digital camera herself.

It is easy to take pictures, but it is very troublesome to upload photos.

At that time, there was no Qzone, and there was no Weibo, so we could only transfer files through QQ chat.

When you want to transfer larger files, you have to wait for a long time because of the slow network speed.

Chapter 313

"In recent years, although the domestic Internet has developed rapidly, the user experience is still too poor, just like you and Meng Qi want to know each other's recent situation, send a photo or something, it's so troublesome. But soon Yes, after I clear the stock, I will have money in my hands, and then I will start a project to solve similar user pain points."

Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

"Huh? Do you want to start a project just to send photos? Is it too restrictive?" Wu Xiu asked in surprise.

"No! The convenience of posting photos is just one of the functions. What I want to do is a social networking site. How can this kind of site have limitations? I don't know how big the prospect is."

"Like QQ?" Wu Xiu asked again.

Yu Wenfei shook his head, "QQ is an instant messaging software on the Internet, and it has become popular..."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenfei suddenly thought of something, lost his mind slightly, and did not continue after speaking halfway.

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Xiu looked at Yu Wenfei sideways with concern and asked.

"Is there a charge for applying for a QQ number now?" Yu Wenfei asked a little excitedly as he sat up and grabbed Wu Xiu's arm.

Yu Wenfei found himself in a misunderstanding!

That is, in his dream memory, Tencent is too powerful, so powerful that no company in the entire Internet field can compete with it.

The strength of QQ and WeChat in Internet communication is beyond doubt, and there is no rival.

So when Yu Wenfei made his own business plan, he subconsciously avoided the field of instant messaging, because he felt that it was a thankless task.

There is no chance of winning at all to compete with Tencent, and a lot of money has to be spent in it.

But he just woke up now, it's only 2002 now!

Although QQ has begun to take shape, the number of users has also begun to grow explosively.

But at this stage, Xiao Ma and the others still made a lot of mistakes. In 2002, due to their own financial constraints, QQ launched a "paid registration system!" in order to limit the explosive growth of the number of users!

In other words, if you want to apply for a QQ number, you need to spend two yuan to apply for it.

It's weird, I'm afraid there are too many users, so I use fees to keep users out.

Ten years later, this is simply unbelievable.

But in the development of QQ, it did do that, and it did it for a whole year, in 2002!

Tencent actually has its own reasons for doing so.

Being an Internet company is really burning money.

The salaries of technicians are high, and servers and loans are gold-swallowing monsters!

However, there are very few traffic monetization models on the Internet.

Basically, at that time, the only revenue for Internet companies was to advertise their products.

Open the major portals and look around, advertising can account for half, as for user experience...

who cares!

At that time, there were not many choices for users, and the competition was not too fierce, so various Internet companies were also in a stage of "bad competition".

There is no worst, only worse.

If that company has a better reputation, don’t get me wrong, it’s not because it’s doing really well, but because it’s a foil to its peers.

Including QQ, it is an instant messaging software, and it also wants to advertise.

But a chat window is only that big, and there is no room for advertisements.

But even though "the conditions are so difficult", Xiao Ma still came up with a good idea. At that time, the QQ chat box was a very simple two windows separated by five and five.

The upper window is the chat content that has been sent, and the lower one is the input box.

Between these two windows, QQ added a banner for advertising...

Tencent was the first profitable Internet company in China, because it was "crazy" and "unscrupulous" at the time and tried every means to make money.

The year 2002 was also a major difficulty in Tencent's history, a year of mixed joy and sorrow.

The joy is of course the explosive growth in the number of users. Three years ago, it sold 30 pieces of broken software that no one wanted, and now it has tens of millions of users. It has basically become the overlord of domestic Internet communication software.

What is worrying is that because of the large number of users, the company's financial pressure is very high, and many charging policies have been introduced.

As a result, users are very dissatisfied with QQ, and major Internet companies in the market are also launching their own instant messaging software to compete with QQ for market share.

For example, Netease Bubble, UC, and even the internationally famous MSN have begun to enter the mainland.

…………

It was only after thinking of these things that Yu Wenfei suddenly realized that he still had the opportunity to intervene in the instant messaging software.
