Chapter 2002 3G Tower
70 million users.
A very proud achievement.
Of course, during the same period, Qin Feng’s domestic QQ users exceeded 100 million.
Of course, there is a lot of water in this billion.
Because many people have registered multiple accounts.
In this regard, Qin Feng still has a very clear understanding.
We are not complacent just because the number of QQ users has exceeded 100 million.
However, the number of FACEBOOK users has exceeded 100 million, and Qin Feng is still very happy.
The reason is very simple, the number of users here is unique.
They are all bundled with a unique personal email address. Moreover, you cannot use multiple email addresses to register an account.
Because other personal information you registered will be retrieved.
This also ensures that you will not use your online account to do anything random.
In the West, the Internet has never been a lawless place.
If you want to be a technical expert, I won't be able to catch you, there's nothing I can do about it.
This is your awesomeness.
However, if you are not such a technical expert, then you should not act recklessly on the Internet, otherwise you will really be caught for breaking the law.
This is not like in China, where you can just talk nonsense on the Internet.
"Strive to break through 100 million as soon as possible!" Qin Feng said with a smile on his face, "Then try to promote it to the world. Let all countries use FACEBOOK."
Melissa smiled.
"Boss, when will you send the money?" Melissa smiled and stretched out her hand.
Qin Feng had a dark look on his face.
Want money again?
Didn’t I just give out 100 million US dollars in dividends to Nokia before this?
You want money again, you are a big spender!
"Boss, this is different. You are so rich. You don't care about the money. Besides, if you want to occupy the world, then we have to move faster in the early stage. That way, there will be more servers and more employees. Now employees
The number has exceeded 1,000, and the salary has reached hundreds of millions a year." Melissa said calmly, "This does not include our ever-increasing money for various equipment. Boss, the previous 100 million was not enough!"
Qin Feng was bleeding for a while after hearing this.
"I said Melissa, my money didn't come from the wind. We are a start-up company. The company has only been established for more than half a year. You have already made almost 200 million US dollars. This is not how the money is spent.
! How can any company spend money like this?" Qin Feng complained.
"I know!" Melissa nodded, "But that's someone else's company. Other companies don't have a super boss like you who is wise and powerful, has both talent and wisdom, money and ability!"
Melissa came over with all her flattery, and Qin Feng felt elated.
I can't help it, the flattery is so beautiful. Even though Qin Feng clearly knows that he is flattering, the flattery is so cool.
"How much do you want?" Qin Feng asked.
"Not much, 500 million!" Melissa extended a slap.
Qin Feng slapped him directly.
"You really think I'm a rich man!" Qin Feng rolled his eyes, "No! You're such a prodigal, even Microsoft can't afford your failure."
500 million, it's not like Qin Feng doesn't have money in his hands. He still has more than 1 billion.
But, that’s not how you use it.
How can a company that has only been established for more than half a year require so much money?
"Boss, I think this money is not enough!" Melissa pouted, "You should know very well that our company's ability to make money is very weak now, and we can only rely on advertising to make money. However, this way is too slow."
"So?" Qin Feng was curious.
"I found that the reason that restricts us from making money now is that people can only access the Internet in front of a computer. But without the computer, people can't access the Internet. They can't use it. Naturally, the activity is low, and our efficiency in making money is also low.
"Melissa said, "So, I want to develop a mobile device that allows everyone to access FACEBOOK. Of course, it doesn't need to be too complicated. It doesn't have to be as complicated as a computer. As long as it allows everyone to take photos.
, just the simple functions of sending messages, replying to messages, and browsing other people’s messages.”
Qin Feng's eyes lit up.
This Melissa is indeed the future image spokesperson of Silicon Valley.
He is really smart and has sharply pointed out the weakness of social media on the Internet today.
This is very remarkable.
Not many people have such vision nowadays.
"Boss, we have designed a first version of the kernel system. It can basically realize the most basic functions of FACEBOOK." Melissa said, "So, we need funds to build such a functional machine.
"
Qin Feng thought.
"I think it's very simple to build, but we don't need to spend so much money ourselves. We can definitely cooperate with other mobile phone manufacturers to jointly promote it." Qin Feng said.
"I've thought about it. For example, boss, you have a very harmonious relationship with Nokia, but I'm not sure whether Nokia can give us enough permissions to use all the features of this phone, and at the same time, it still needs to meet our needs. At least 2.4
It must have a color screen larger than 2 inches, and at least a camera of at least 800,000 pixels, and it must support 3G signals.” Melissa said, “Also, the keyboard input must be convenient, preferably a full keyboard.”
These requirements will be very common in one or two years, not to mention the future era when smartphones are popular.
After all, Nokia will be the absolute king in the next five years.
It can even be said that within a year after the iPhone came out, Nokia was the real king.
The real rise of the iPhone came with the launch of the iPhone 3GS. Because of the launch of the 3GS, smartphones truly became available to millions of households.
Before this, it was still relatively immature.
"Is the 3G signal mature now?" Qin Feng asked.
"Well, that's why I asked the boss for money. Because, even if Nokia is willing to cooperate with us, we still need to cooperate with American operators to build more 3G signal towers. This requires money. Of course, I have consulted, if
If we build it together, we can get a certain profit share. I believe this is a good deal," Melissa said.
It was too difficult for the company to monetize. So Melissa thought of various channels to enable the company to make money.
For example, building a 3G signal tower is the best way.
Invest first, then earn dividends.
At that time, as long as there are enough devices, there will be more people using the tariff. If there are more, you can make money.
At that time, you will be able to earn back all your initial investment.
Because this is a long-term business.
Qin Feng listened and shook his head.
"This plan won't work!" Qin Feng refused directly.
"Why?" Melissa frowned, "Why not? I think it is very feasible. Although investing in 3G signal towers will cost a lot of money, there will be more people using mobile phones, and they will be able to access the Internet. Our number of active members
