Homecoming of Rebirth

On the 29th: Netease, Sina, Tencent, Sanshi, Jinshan and more than a dozen Internet companies opened their official blogs.

Wang Zhendong wrote this in his first official Sina blog.

"We are working hard in New York to become the first Chinese Internet company to be listed on NASDAQ."

"Sina's mission is to be ahead of the Internet and the times."

"Say here, the motherland, Happy New Year!"

"Also, come on!! Microsoft! Looking forward to your mutual entertainment era, looking forward to having you in web2.0."

This is a bit... heart-wrenching!

On the surface, Wang Zhendong is trying his best to help Microsoft, but how do you think there is a knife in the words?

what does it mean? web2.0... now without me?

Well, really without him!

The whole company is bad.

It is not accidental that such a dense number of accounts has been opened recently.

What does that mean?Does it mean that Sanshi Company has received support?

And what happened next completely made Microsoft unable to sit still.

……

December 31st, the last day of the millennium.

……

Start vigorously promoting web2.0! !

Microsoft was taken aback.

Because from their point of view, it's broken!No wonder Sanshi Company was so honest before.

Now the basic accumulation has been completed, no need to pretend, big counterattack!

Microsoft dare not think, there are still four months!There are still four months at the earliest before Microsoft's user experience plan can be released.

This April, the Chinese market is a vacuum.

The most important thing is that the scolding and criticism from the mainland media will disappear.

Who has a brain?

What will the market lose?

The key issue is that in China, there are many pirated systems, and what Microsoft is doing is a free trap, deliberately curbing system development in China.

However, Sanshi Company is unreasonable.

He is also free and open source forever, so how much will these pirated versions be lost?

Let’s keep the installed capacity of 200 million now, and after four months, it will not be...won’t it really break 1500 million, and establish a stable ecology, right?

In the end, after many discussions, Gates personally made the decision and could not sit still.

In addition to public opinion slander, Microsoft has the last killer.

The first day of 2001.

Microsoft released an official announcement that Windows 2000 Home Edition has decided to start a global price adjustment.

To put it bluntly, big price cuts! !

After carrying it for two months, it finally came down.

The price of genuine version for home use in Europe and America has been adjusted from US$45 to US$25.

In China, from the official activation price of 450RMB, it is adjusted to...

45rmb! !

Yes, only 45 yuan! !

The cheap version is four to five hundred, and the expensive one.In the morning, the Windows system was directly cut down to the heel, which was cheaper than Europe and the United States, and the taste of grabbing the market could not be stronger.

At least until these four months of technology, until the user experience plan is released.

Once the news was announced, the country was boiling, and the Internet and the media continued to discuss it.

Some netizens commented, "It's a prophecy, Microsoft has really lowered the price."

……

"Why is the price of Windows lowered, I'm not excited at all?"

……

"Nonsense! Because you used a pirated version!"

……

"Then what's the matter? With the bloodletting, change to a genuine version for fun?"

Use interrogative sentences, not affirmative sentences.

Ordinarily, Microsoft's entry into the low-price competition was like a bolt from the blue for the scheming Sanshi Company.

When Mr. Nan got the news, he was stunned for a long time, and finally sat down slumped.

Yes, Mr. Nan is completely out of spirit at this time.

They have made so much effort and thought of so many ways, but they are still vulnerable to others.

The genuine price of 45 yuan, although everyone is not rich in this year and month, the genuine price of 45 yuan is enough for users to accept.

Even many pirated users will switch to genuine ones.

In fact, this is also the purpose of Microsoft, not only to stabilize genuine users, but also to win over pirated versions. Before they are completely robbed, they can compete with Sanshi and reduce their user conversion.

"Difficult!"

Nan Lao seemed to be ten years older, "It's really too difficult..."

Why is it so difficult for the Chinese to make something?

After tossing and tossing for more than two years, Qi Lei tried his best to figure it out, but the result...is not as good as a price cut from others.

This is true in all walks of life.

45 yuan for genuine home use... Heh! !

Nan Lao wanted to laugh in despair, and laughed at himself: "It can be regarded as a good deed for domestic users."

As for how to fight with others?

Mrs. Nan knows it, she can't fight it!

Once Microsoft's user experience solution comes out, Pangu's last advantage will be gone.

Three stones is equivalent to firing the last bullet!

Can only wait to die!

……

After suffering for a long time, Nan Guanghong picked up the phone and called Qi Lei.

The old man didn't want to scold others, but wanted to comfort Qi Lei.

Yes, at this time, Nan Guanghong couldn't yell at Qi Lei anymore, even though this kid made a mistake in the marketing strategy of the system.

However, the old man still has this view of the overall situation. Before the dust settled, he could quarrel with Qi Lei, but now, Qi Lei should be more uncomfortable than him, so he can't spread salt anymore.

How to persuade Qi Lei is well thought out.

The phone was finally connected.

then……

Then Old Nan's ears were almost deafened.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Hahaha!! They finally lowered the price!! Finally lowered the price!!"

"Old Bei!! I really succeeded!! I succeeded!! Pan Gu is alive!!"

"Teacher Liao!! Grandpa Dong!! It's done!!"

"It's done!!"

The words were obviously not addressed to Nan Lao, but Nan Lao was stunned. Is this child hysterical?

A little hysterical!

"Hey?"

"Hello??"

"You unlucky boy, talk!"

Old Nan is in a hurry.

It was noisy on the other side, and Qi Lei's laughter filled his ears.

It took me a long time to remember to answer the phone, "Hi!! Uncle Nan!! We are done!!"

"The domestic system is done!!"

Nan Guanghong: "..."

After a long time of calm, "Son, can you tell me... how did it work?"

Qi Lei, "Everything is done!! We minted a currency!"

"Social currency!!"

"Pangu!! Pangu is already a social currency!"

Nan Guanghong: "..."

Did not understand.

They didn't understand Xiang Xiang's stupid old Qin, Liao Fanyi, and Dong Beiguo.

[Social Currency], Qi Lei mentioned this concept long ago.

I told Lao Qin that day beside the Third Ring Road.

When setting up the plan for the press conference, I also told Liao Fanyi and the others.

It’s just that everyone doesn’t understand, what is social currency?

Hearing the other end of the phone, Qi Lei was extremely excited.

"Sometimes, a good product... really doesn't necessarily win!"

"The only shortcoming of Pangu becoming a social currency is... free!"

"The currency value is too low!"

"And now, there is no such problem!"

Social currency is not a digital currency, or even a real currency, but a concept of media economics.

It can also be said to be a communication concept.

To put it simply, it is to give a currency attribute in the sense of commodity communication.
