Rebirth My boss is too rich!

There are actually many money-making projects for Penguin

Anyone who lives in 2019 will know it, such as QQ membership, King of Glory, Q coins, etc. Almost everyone can tell you a few.

But in fact, Penguin in 1999 really couldn’t find any profitable place.

advertise?

Who will deliver it to you? Isn’t the chat window as popular as portals like Sina and NetEase?

It only takes up so much space and occupies one advertisement. The user’s first thought is not to click, but to uninstall.

So this plan is obviously a pass.

As for the world-famous QQ membership, such as red diamond, green diamond, Xinyue, etc., in fact, in 1999, it was impossible to successfully implement it.

First, the number of users is too small, and second, there are no value-added services for members.

The special nature of membership makes no user willing to pay the 10 yuan per month.

These are all value-added services that can be implemented only when QQ reaches the scale of 100 million, such as growth acceleration, QQ group privileges, group size limit, etc.

At present, there are only tens of thousands of users, and QQ is the most original version in 1999. Not to mention QQ groups, there are not even QQ shows. When the membership function is launched, users will only be scolded and uninstalled!

On the contrary, it is an act that is not worth the gain.

Therefore, almost no one can see QQ’s current direction of making money.

This is also a question that Ma Huateng and a group of founders have to think about every night before going to bed.

How to make money?

It’s impossible for QQ users to grow like this without any limit, buy servers one after another, spend all their money, but not make any money, right?

So what’s the point of opening this company?

It’s like a bottomless pit that keeps posting money!

In his previous life, in 1999, when Ma Huateng couldn’t hold on anymore and wanted to sell Penguin, many bosses refused, and even Penguin couldn’t be sold. This was the reason.

No one knows how to make a profit

Including Ma Huateng himself, he was also very confused.

The five founders sat there, looking at Su Zhe with big eyes and small eyes.

Su Zhe smiled at them, and then took out his mobile phone – Nokia 7710

“You all know this stuff, right?”

“Xiaoma, you should also have a mobile phone, right?”

Su Zhe looked at Ma Huateng. Ma Huateng nodded, but his face was a little embarrassed. He did have a mobile phone, but it was just a mobile phone that his father eliminated and gave him. It was like a brick.

He usually only keeps it on his desk. It’s really embarrassing to have it with you.

But Su Zhe’s Nokia is different. It’s extremely convenient to carry around.

“In addition to making calls, mobile phones also have another function, which is to send text messages. You may have heard of it if you don’t have a mobile phone. This is the same concept as a pager message!”

All five of the people here know about pagers, and they all have one with them.

When Tengxun Company opened in 1998, its initial direction was not QQ at all. QQ was the product of following the ICQ trend in 2019. What were the five people doing before this?

I’m working on a communication-related system – a wireless network paging system.

Even now, Ma Huateng has been in charge of this project and can still earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month. Penguin also relies on this money to make extra money by writing programs with several people, and has been supporting it

.

What is the use of this system?

It is able to connect the Internet with the very popular pager, and can receive calls from the Internet in the BP machine, and can even receive news and emails, etc.

This system is actually very powerful, but… BP machines have been eliminated by mobile phones

I have to say that Ma Huateng’s idea is quite advanced, but it is useless for the times.

Five years earlier, he had actually become a billionaire

It was also because Ma Huateng figured out this system that four people including Zhang Zhidong and Da Li were brought together to create the company Penguin.

Everyone thinks this thing can make a lot of money

But it’s not your competitors that will knock you out, it’s new things

Just like the cassette player was eliminated by MP3, Ma Huateng was also eliminated by the times. Fortunately, he stopped his losses in time and developed QQ

“Xiaoma, your wireless network paging system is a very good idea!”

“But it’s not used in the right place!”

Su Zhe held up his Nokia mobile phone:”Just imagine, if you transfer Internet information, news, emails, etc. to a mobile phone or phone, what will be the result?”

“Um?”

Ma Huateng was stunned. He didn’t understand something.

Several other people were actually a little confused.

Put the things that were put into the BB machine into the cell phone and phone?

Ma Huateng has actually thought about this idea, but compared to BP machines, mobile phones are undoubtedly much more complicated.

“Text messages cost 10 cents each, and QQ chat messages are free… But what will happen if QQ chat messages are linked to text messages?”

“You use QQ and mobile phone to send messages!”

Su Zhe’s words were like an earth-shattering shock, striking directly into the minds of everyone present.

With a hula, Ma Huateng stood up from his seat.

He is so excited

So much so that I lost my bearings!

Of course, Big Li and Zhang Zhidong were not much better. All four of them had a look of ecstasy on their faces, yelling at each other crazily, and already hugging each other.

They found a way to make money

“Yes, damn it, why the hell didn’t we think of combining QQ and SMS?”

“Grass! Why didn’t we think of such a simple thing?!”

“……”

Ma Huateng was so happy that he didn’t know what to say.

This profit can definitely make a lot of money!

Although sending messages on QQ is free, text messages charge money!

In today’s China, not everyone has a computer at home, but they all have QQ because there are Internet cafes!

But how to contact QQ friends without a computer?

Only via mobile phone or phone!

How many text messages can I send this time?

Ma Huateng doesn’t know

But what he knows is that if QQ has 1 million users doing this, they will earn tens of thousands of text messages every day

“Okay, now that you know the direction of making money, let’s get started!”

Like a big devil, Su Zhe waved his hand and bewitched the five guys in front of him:”First, develop the users into a target of 100 million!”

thump!

The five people who had just stood up fell to the ground.

Billion level?

“Boss, are you dreaming?”

What is the concept of billion level, 100 million users?

This is a statistic that the five of them cannot imagine.

They don’t even dare to think about 10 million people.

But Su Zhe smiled:”Billion-level? Is it difficult? I’ll give you three days to kill those four similar instant messaging products on the market!”

“including that——ICQ！”
