Speaking of Weibo, a platform that Huangfu Cai worked hard to operate, it is no longer the scene that was hidden in the mountains and no one knew about it.

Nowadays, people who go out with their netbooks and work and play in coffee shops, KFC, and McDonald's have long been left behind.

With the launch of DreamPad in China, people can be seen everywhere in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Sichuan using DreamPad to play games online, chat on QQ, write emails, write Weibo and read Weibo.

DreamPad is not only very fashionable, but also easy to carry. It is full of the power of technology. It is the kind of electronic product that makes people exclaim "Wow" as soon as it is taken out.

The sales of 3 million units were sold out almost instantly, which is enough to prove the fans' love for it.

In fact, Fairy Company's Huaguo Customer Service Department receives countless calls every day, all asking when the second batch of sales will start. Even if it is not released, at least they are asked to pay in advance to make a reservation, so that fans can

They feel at ease.

The huge DreamPad user base has also directly brought Huaguo Dentsu a huge user base.

The first batch of people to buy new products are people who are not short of money. Most of them chose services with 3G cards. Even if they did not get the 3G version, they commissioned Dentsu to make an external one.

Inserted mobile network card.

In a short period of time, Dentsu sold 3 million service packages, and the charges were second to none. This expanded new user categories, which was what they were happiest about.

Dentsu, which owns the best network base stations in the country, does not just want to provide home phone calls and Internet access. In fact, they have been eyeing mobile communications for a long time, and now the 3G network just gives them an excuse.

Once the application of DreamPad matures, the next step of mobile communication is already certain, directly breaking through 2G and reaching the 3G level of smartphones.

As a result, Huaguo Dentsu announced that it will strive to lay out a complete 3G network in China's first- and second-tier cities within half a year, roll it out to third-tier cities within one year, and strive to cover the entire country within three years, striving to allow people across the country to

Enjoy the wonderful experience brought by Internet technology as soon as possible.

Let’s get back to Weibo.

If we want to say who is most prepared for Dentsu's launch of 3G, besides the DreamPad app store, it must be the Weibo team.

Under Xiao Qi's advance warning, Huangfucai had already made a plan with them. As soon as the application store was opened, the Weibo free APP was prominently displayed on the homepage of the free software. In the first three days,

More than 500,000 people have downloaded it.

The most convenient thing about Weibo is real-time communication.

Celebrities carry DreamPads with them, take photos and post them on Weibo, or when they are filming movies, recording songs, or on the road, they post their feelings and comments on Weibo, which is equivalent to knowing every move of the celebrities.

This greatly shortened the distance from celebrities.

Everyone has the mentality of gossiping.

For example, when you are at work, you can say lightly, "Hey, yesterday Liu Tianwang said that he still wants to have a daughter!" "Feng Ba Ya announced that he will make a comedy again, and finally returned to the right path!"... and so on.

How interesting is it for everyone to talk about gossip?

With Weibo, you no longer need to read newspapers and news to sift through the news. You can directly follow the Weibo of the person you want to follow, and then you can get the information you want.

No matter whether these celebrities are telling the truth or not, they are like good friends, sending you their information at any time, which makes people feel happy and well-informed.

Gradually, friends also did the same thing.

When everyone pays attention to their distant friends, they can also find out what he or she is doing recently and how he or she is feeling. It is really fun to leave messages and have fun when you have time.

Even old classmates like us can keep in touch through Weibo, communicate and joke from time to time, and regain the feeling of youth again.

Because of this, the number of downloads of the Weibo APP has exceeded 2.5 million as of today.

In other words, 80% of DreamPad users are using Weibo.

The entertainment value of Weibo and the convenience of controlling information have been further demonstrated, making users who have not purchased a DreamPad or whose area does not have a 3G network anxious.

In recent times, the number of registered people on Weibo has also been rising significantly. Data from the end of March shows that there are now 45 million registered people on Weibo, and the number of people online every day has exceeded the 10 million mark, with posts and comments every day.

The average number is 300 million!

Originally, the four major portals Xinglang, Wangyi, Sohu and Penguin were all negotiating with Weibo. They relied on their status on the Internet to demand too much, and Weibo was backed by Fairy Company.

, DreamPad is also paving the way for Weibo. It is not afraid of anyone at all, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

Seeing the rapid growth of users, DreamPad quickly increased the influence of Weibo. The first one to succumb was Penguin. They bought Weibo for three years at the cost of paying 200 million in annual royalties.

The right to use it was allowed to use "Penguin Weibo" as the label, and began to recruit celebrities from all walks of life to enter.

200 million is just the right to use. Penguin also has to bear part of the server and bandwidth costs of the Weibo platform every year. Their advertising revenue on Weibo also has to be shared by the Weibo company. There are so many things that come down to one year.

At least 500 million yuan must be paid.

Watching Penguin start advertising with great fanfare, inviting celebrities, and expanding its brand awareness, the other three portals had no choice but to curse Penguin for not holding on, and signed the same contract as Penguin.

But in fact, they are not at a disadvantage. The cost of 500 million yuan seems to be a lot, but if they set up the Weibo platform by themselves, not to mention anything else, the server and bandwidth alone will cost tens of millions a month.

, plus service personnel, technical personnel, maintenance and upgrades, etc., it is a huge expense, probably more than 500 million in a year.

What's more, after using the Weibo platform, they can add their own users endlessly, regardless of whether the Weibo company can bear it - anyway, I paid the server bandwidth fee, no matter how many users I add, you

Everything has to be arranged for me, and nothing can go wrong.

It has to be said that being greedy for petty gains is a normal thought and practice for most people.

Indeed, according to the algorithm of their four portals, regardless of the fact that Weibo Company currently charges about 2 billion in fees per year, if the number of Weibo registered people exceeds 200 million, Weibo Company will lose money. The more people there are, the more money it will lose.

The more Weibo companies lose money.

200 million registered people?

With everyone's efforts and the support of so many Internet users in China, it can be realized in a year and a half!

At that time, it will be equivalent to using the Weibo platform for free, developing its own users, and creating high profits for itself. How great does it feel?

But they never thought that it would be great to use it now, but what about three years later?

If the Weibo company takes back its ownership, wouldn’t the market they developed and the hundreds of millions of Weibo users they operate and maintain all belong to the Weibo company?

So despite the appearance that the Weibo company suffered a hidden loss, in fact, how could these people who only care about the present understand the calculations of Xiao Qi and Huangfu Cai?

Even though they have added the right of priority to renew the contract in the contract, Weibo has the final say on how to actually operate it - do you think servers and bandwidth, operators and technical personnel are given for free? Weibo has the final say.

He holds all the original data in his own hands and controls the Weibo platform from the beginning to the end, and cannot allow them to resist!
