My rebirth is different

Page 733

The matter at Jiale came to an end, and after Zhou Mengyi and the other party finished discussing the details and going through the process, Yu Wenfei continued to go back to work on the launch of WeChat, which was the most important event in the near future.

The start-up capital of the WeChat project is only the [-] million U.S. dollars that Yu Wenfei left in the account of Xing Technology, which can not be said to be small, after all, it is one billion yuan when converted into RMB.

The servers and computer rooms are all free from the leased Facebook side. The part of the computer room and servers allocated by Facebook can’t be used up by itself, and they are idle, and they can just be used by WeChat.

Of course, WeChat's own server and computer room should also be prepared quickly. After the number of users increases in the future, it may not be enough.

The one billion yuan, in addition to ensuring the wages and benefits of the project team employees, will all be invested in the construction of the computer room.

Moreover, after the scale of WeChat increases, the pressure on the computer room will be huge, and the money may not be enough.

Yu Wenfei is also very headache. In the eyes of outsiders, he has a great reputation, controls several promising Internet companies, and has a net worth of over tens of billions.

But only he himself knows that whether it is tens of billions or billions is meaningless, it is just a number, and there is no way to realize it.

But at present, the funds for the development of enterprises must be paid out in real money.

Facebook and Facebook Games have other shareholders at least, and they can share the money when they need to contribute.

Wechat currently has only one shareholder, and no one can share the pressure with me.

As for the money from the seller, Le Supermarket, it is also "specially earmarked". Yu Wenfei has already planned it and cannot embezzle it, so WeChat has to find a way to raise some funds.

........................

In Yu Wenfei's office, Li Xin came to report on his work again. This time was approaching the launch of WeChat, so he would come here at least twice a day.

"Should our WeChat and email systems be launched at the same time? Last time, Mr. Fei, you said that WeChat and emails are all free to use, and each mailbox needs to be allocated [-]G of free storage space. This puts a lot of pressure on us. " Li Xin said worriedly.

This is Yu Wenfei's opinion, to build the best mailbox system in China, and to give all users a large free storage space, which is as high as [-]G!

Compared with the tens of MB of mailbox space of 163, Sohu, and Sina mailboxes in China at that time, the two Gs are definitely too big for people to believe.

You know, in those days, the computer hard drive of ordinary users was only so big.

General computer hard drives are only as big as 40G or 60G.

"Giving a user five gigabytes of space does not mean that the user will be able to use up all of these five gigabytes. In fact, how many ordinary users will store so many files on the Internet. If only emails are saved, then How much space does it take up?" Yu Wenfei laughed.

Five G's, to be honest it's just a gimmick.

After WeChat goes online, if it can successfully achieve the goal, then this is also a billion-level software. If all users use up to five gigabytes of free space, it is really unaffordable.

But just like what Yu Wenfei said, most people don’t use so much space, and the five G’s just look good.

"This free space is one of the selling points of our mailbox. We need to highlight it when we promote it. Let's call it a network hard drive! Wechat mailboxes are equipped with a [-]G super-capacity free network hard drive for free for each user! This How about the slogan? Haha!" Yu Wenfei laughed loudly.

You must know how to boast about the highlights of your products!

This is one of Yu Wenfei's deepest understandings of the Internet.

In fact, the benefits of WeChat mailbox are definitely more than this. Whether it is the user experience of sending and receiving emails, the stability of the system, or the aesthetic optimization of the interface, it is absolutely ahead of all competitors on the market.

But those things need to be experienced by users slowly, which is far less gimmick than "five gigabytes of super-capacity free network hard drives".

"Okay, then do as Mr. Fei said! I have already connected with Facebook and Facebook Games. Once our WeChat is online, they will immediately update the version and seamlessly connect with WeChat. This time, domestic We are determined to win the instant messaging market!" Li Xin clenched his fists and said.

"Oh? So confident? Then how long do you think it will take for WeChat to surpass QQ?" Yu Wenfei laughed.

Li Xin opened his mouth, scratched his head, and said embarrassingly: "This... I guess it will take two or three years. After all, QQ has been in business for so long and has taken the first-mover advantage. The user base is also so large. I want to surpass It's not easy."

Yu Wenfei stood up, came to the French window, stretched out his hands, and suddenly opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight came in through the glass.

The sun shone obliquely on his body, as if the whole person was shrouded in a halo, which was a bit dazzling.

Without looking back, he said, "You underestimated WeChat and overestimated QQ. I can tell you that QQ died the moment WeChat went live!"

Li Xin looked at Yu Wenfei's back stupidly, and opened his mouth wide, a little in disbelief.

………………

Wechat hadn't been launched yet, and another minor event happened in the domestic business circle. It had nothing to do with Yu Wenfei, but due to some special reasons, Yu Wenfei was involved in another storm.

Chapter 627 2003 Rich List

In 2003, under the background of reform and opening up, the social atmosphere at that time was relatively impetuous. Usually, the easiest way to measure a person's success is to look at how much money he has!

Therefore, for the so-called "Hurun Report" and "Forbes Rich List", the social attention is very high!

Every year, when the rich list is announced, it can almost cause a sensation in the whole society.

A person with a monthly income of thousands of dollars, looking at the billionaires on the rich list who are worth hundreds of millions and billions, is full of longing and envy, wishing that his name can also appear on the list.

This year's situation is quite special. The "Hurun Report" is already in its fifth issue.At the same time, the Chinese version of the world-renowned "Forbes Rich List" was released for the first time!

The announcement of these two lists caused a great sensation across the country.

No.1, Netease Ding Sanshi, with assets of 11 billion US dollars!

It is the first time for Ding Sanshi to reach the top of the mainland rich list. This is also the first time for a person in the Internet industry to top the list in the five years since the "Hurun Report" came out, which is of great significance!

In the previous four rich lists, the richest people were all in business, among which the Rong family was the richest man three times, and the Liu brothers of the New Hope Group topped the list once.

And this year, Ding Sanshi represented the Internet industry and officially reached the top!

Benefiting from the arrival of the Internet spring in the past two years, NetEase's market value has doubled several times in the past year or so, and Ding Sanshi's assets have also increased.

From No.2 to No.5, it is still the world of traditional industry leaders.

But at No.6, another new face appeared. Chen Tianqiao of Shanda Network appeared on the "Hurun Report" for the first time with assets of [-] million US dollars!

Ding Sanshi, 32, and Chen Tianqiao, 30, announced the rise of a new generation of entrepreneurs in China.

All of a sudden, the Internet industry, which has already attracted much attention, has attracted more attention.

Because this industry represents miracles and hope, both NetEase and Shanda Network have only been established for a few years, but in just a few years, the founders have obtained such amazing wealth.

This is unimaginable in traditional industries!

In this list, there is another old acquaintance of Yu Wenfei, that is Mo Wenxin's father!

With assets of 32 billion, he ranks No. 11 on the rich list, and he is also the richest man in Central Plains Province!

…………

Whether such a rich list can truly reflect the wealth of those who are on the list and those who are not on the list has been questioned since the birth of the "Rich List".

This year is no exception, because there is one person who does not appear on the "Hurun Report" and "Forbes Rich List"!
