In those years, the Internet developed rapidly, and countless companies competed in other sub-sectors, but there were very few video sites, especially long-form video sites, and this was the reason.
"Build it, this thing can't be saved. Isn't there more than [-] million yuan in the company's account? Take it all out and build four more data centers across the country." Yu Wenfei made a decision.
Now the company has a data center in East China, and if we build four more, it will be South China, North China, Central China, and Southwest China.As for the northwest and northeast, don't consider it for the time being...
Ai Fei and Li Xin are still not clean, Lu Qi gasped, what a big deal!
More than [-] million, directly smashing four data centers, each with an investment of tens of millions, after this is built, all the websites of the Star Science and Technology Department will benefit.
"Mainly long videos, which should be distinguished from other websites as much as possible. Since our hardware foundation is good, we should try to make the images as high-definition as possible." Yu Wenfei also ordered that he had had enough of those blurry videos on the Internet. Of course, if he wanted to watch movies at home, Yu Wenfei would never watch them online, he would buy DVDs instead.
Naturally, Yu Wenfei wouldn't care if a genuine CD cost dozens of dollars, but many netizens were unwilling to pay for it.
So no matter how blurry the video images on the Internet are, there are still countless netizens watching movies, TV shows or entertainment programs on the Internet, or downloading them to their computers to watch.
"Hey, then we need to get a team to collect resources." Lu Qi said with a smirk.
Although all music and video websites claim that all the resources on the website are uploaded by netizens themselves, this is just to fool outsiders.
How can there be so many enthusiastic netizens who endure the Internet speed of tens of KB per second and spend several hours or even ten hours uploading videos to the website.
Obviously, the things on those websites are basically collected by the website's own staff and uploaded to the server.
The team Lu Qi mentioned was collecting resources for video sites.
Although it's not good to blatantly discuss the use of pirated resources, Yu Wenfei didn't care. These days, the general environment is like this. If you follow the rules in everything, you will be killed by unruly competitors!
There is nothing prohibited by the law!
For the Internet companies at that time, this was the reason. Anyway, there were no relevant laws and regulations, so who would put the shackles on themselves.
Of course, Yu Wenfei didn't intend to continue to engage in piracy. After the website was built and formed a sufficient scale, he would immediately transform, wave a check, and buy copyrights everywhere.
Perhaps only he knows that after China joined the WTO two years later, it will slowly begin to pay attention to copyright.
At that time, holding the copyright and not having the copyright, that is one world and one world, this is a later story, let's not mention it for now.

"Let's talk about the third project, the chess and card game platform. Now the two largest in China, Lianzhong and Bianfeng. In addition to the QQ game center that will be launched soon, it can be regarded as three competitors. The first two are not enough Fear, our only competitor is QQ Game Center!" Yu Wenfei said bluntly.
Why build a chess and card game center?
One is to provide an entertainment platform for Facebook users, which is also a way to monetize traffic.
Don't underestimate chess and card games, the users are very extensive and sticky.
Secondly, Facebook will form a system in the future, a pan-entertainment system.
The music, video, chess and card games planned by Yuwenfei will be incorporated into Facebook's pan-entertainment system to provide users with the online entertainment they need!
He wants to preempt Tencent's way first, so that Xiao Ma has nowhere to go, at least, it also makes him not go so smoothly.
Why kept holding on to WeChat and not letting it out? Yu Wenfei didn't want to arouse the other party's vigilance.
The core of Tencent's core is QQ, and all its businesses are based on QQ user groups.
If WeChat is released now, Tencent will immediately be alert and focus on Facebook.
Yuwenfei wants to build up the overall size first, and make users unable to do without the software of the Facebook family, and then release the big killer WeChat, surpassing QQ in one fell swoop!
Once you make a shot, you can't give your opponent any chance to breathe!
Chapter 469 The Man Yu Wenfei Fancy
After Lu Qi arranged the work here, Yu Wenfei turned to look at Li Xin again.
"Your team, the work should be easier now, and WeChat is almost polished."
Li Xin was overjoyed, this should be his own task.
Since it was developed by WeChat, it has been trialed in the company for a long time, and all the functions of the software are basically perfect, but Yu Wenfei just doesn't allow it to go online.
Every time he approached him, Yu Wenfei always said that he would continue to polish the product. The problem is that his team has a large number of [-] or [-] technical elites who polish the product every day.
"It's not busy anymore, it's very relaxing. If you have any tasks, you can arrange them!" Li Xin said, patting his chest.
"Mailbox! Let's develop an email product, the requirements are the same as WeChat, easy to use! Beautiful! Stable!" Yu Wenfei said with a smile.
It turned out to be this one, Li Xin said without hesitation, "No problem! Give me a month, and I can take it out."
Mailboxes are not difficult to develop. If Yu Wenfei hadn’t had high requirements for user experience, with the technical capabilities of Li Xin’s team, it could be produced within a week.
The reason why he said one month is that he had set aside time for product improvement. After one month, he was confident that he would come up with a product that would satisfy Yu Wenfei.
Yu Wenfei nodded.
This is the benefit of the company's strong technical force.
Since the establishment of Congxing Technology, the company has not stopped recruiting. It can be said that all kinds of technical personnel, front-end and back-end engineers, framework and structural engineers are welcome.
Now there are more than 800 people in the company, and the number of pure technical personnel alone is as high as about [-].
With so many technicians, the salary expenditure is very large, which puts a lot of pressure on the company's finances.
At that time, some people in the company did not understand, and asked Yu Wenfei why he had to recruit so many people, because after the launch of Facebook, if he only wanted to improve the functions and maintain the website, he really didn’t need so many people.
However, after those people were recruited, after a period of running-in, they are now ready-made combat power.
If there are not so many mature technicians, why would Yu Wenfei dare to launch four major projects in one go!
Temporary recruitment, temporary formation of a project team, plus the time for team break-in will waste a lot of time. Now, just pull up the project team and start working.
…………
The new project was arranged, and next, Yu Wenfei turned to Manager Wang of the Human Resources and Administration Department.
Manager Wang was recruited by Facebook when it spun off Star Technology. She is also a senior HR, an intellectual beauty in her 30s, and has many years of work experience in Fortune [-] foreign-funded companies.
She is now in charge of the personnel and administration departments of Star Technology and Facebook, and she can be regarded as the company's "big internal supervisor".
"Manager Wang, is there any news about Facebook's CEO candidate?" Yu Wenfei asked.
This matter was arranged years ago, and a headhunting company was entrusted to find suitable candidates.
Next, Yu Wenfei has too many things to do. He must help Facebook find a suitable CEO candidate, so that he can get away and do other things.
Although Effie's performance has been amazing for a while, Yu Wenfei thinks that she still needs to practice more. It is not that easy to control a large company.
