Chapter 1756 Down
The free version went online and immediately aroused everyone’s enthusiasm for listening to music.
To put it bluntly, I just want to have sex for free.
What if one day it goes bankrupt? Why not take advantage of this great opportunity and play more songs?
There are many people with this mentality.
When the server was first opened, it was not too exaggerated, and there was more traffic than normal.
At that time, most people were waiting and watching.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the load on the server suddenly increased, accounting for half of the server's traffic almost instantly.
Liu Kaitai was shocked.
An Ran asked him to prepare early, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.
Fortunately, he was prepared with a just in case mentality.
What if it catches fire?
With the idea of being prepared, Liu Kaitai made all preparations.
When he saw what was going on backstage, Liu Kaitai slapped himself hard on the head.
The people in the technical department looked confused.
What's going on, Mr. Liu? You're going crazy with joy.
People who often work in technology will know that today's traffic is absolutely awesome as soon as they observe the background data traffic.
Li Chenghai also asked beside him: "Mr. Liu, what are you doing?"
Liu Kaitai said: "When Teacher An told me about the free model, he warned me that as soon as it became free, the traffic would inevitably increase dramatically. I didn't take it seriously at the time. Now it seems that Teacher An was foresighted.
."
Li Chenghai had a black line on his forehead and thought for a long time before saying: "This model was thought up by others. It should be normal to expect this result."
Having said that, who would be as sure as Enron?
This guy is a monster.
Liu Kaitai said with a speechless face: "Okay, if anything happens in the future, we don't have to think about it. We can just ask him directly. This is a foolproof plan."
Enron was too sure of this matter.
Liu Kaitai has been paying attention to the background traffic since the beginning.
Watching the download volume rising rapidly, Liu Kaitai's blood pressure also rose. This is not because he is angry, but because he is happy.
After this incident, the performance is not his.
It makes me happy to think of this.
The most important thing is that the "WeiTing" platform can gain a firm foothold in Xizhou through this model.
Thinking of this, Liu Kaitai felt a little uneasy.
If you can stand firm...
It’s hard to say.
Because there is a "Flywheel" group over there, which has been watching with eager eyes.
If you think about it with your heels, the other party will see that the free model is so popular.
We will inevitably adopt a free model to counter it.
After this, Jiji didn’t hit the opponent with one hammer, he deliberately had to hit the opponent for a period of time.
And my side has the upper hand, but the mall is like a battlefield. If the other party has any clever tricks, the outcome is really hard to say.
We have to wait a few days to ask An Ran about this matter, but we can’t spare any time now.
The reality is even more exaggerated than Liu Kaitai imagined. There were one million downloads in half a day, and the user activity was very high.
Everyone came in with great interest and started clicking on the ads to listen to the music.
I took pictures of this thing to compare, and once I compared it, this side is much more comfortable than the "flywheel" side.
Completely free of charge.
You don’t even have to pay a penny, how comfortable it is.
Of course it’s not easy for Flywheel.
"WeiTing" has been quite ferocious from the beginning, and has been in a ferocious mode of crazy expansion and market grabbing.
On the first day alone, the number of active users of "Feilun" dropped by nearly one-third.
This is a huge number.
"Feilun" has hundreds of millions of user registrations. Of course, many of them are inactive users, or one person has multiple accounts.
There are still about 30 million main users.
Among them, there are tens of millions of active users, and one third means that nearly three million users have been lost.
No one can bear this.
And this is just one day.
Although it is said that the loss is the last on the first day and will slow down in the future, but if you lose so much in the market, who can bear it?
The meeting between Mai Liwen, Bill and others lasted all afternoon.
The theme of "free" has been determined. It must be free, otherwise there is no need to fight against others.
You can't even see the taillights of other people's cars.
"Wei Ting" is a cruel move that hits right at the weak point and makes everyone dizzy.
Bill smoked a cigarette and said, "Everyone, the result is free. As for how to make it free, it depends on everyone!"
I don’t know how many times I have said this.
Bill's leather shoes rubbed against the ground so hard that they almost wore the floor through.
We still don’t have a good solution.
Why is there no monster like Enron?
I heard that this was the solution An Ran came up with.
Look at people.
If you make a move on your own, others will respond if they understand.
But when others came back with this move, they suddenly realized that they had no move.
This feeling is very depressing.
The air in the conference room was dull and depressing, and everyone was scratching their heads.
There really is no good way but to learn from others.
But after careful analysis, everyone was at a loss.
There seems to be no other way to make this free except to do it like Enron did.
For a long time, Wall, one of the people behind the platform, thought for a while and then said: "How about we also lower the price in the free mode?"
Isn’t this nonsense?
Bill and Mai Liwen looked at each other and felt that what Wall said was a bit outrageous.
I've already been forced to make it free, so how can I lower the price?
If these people follow this idea, it is likely that the first method in the history of Blue Star will be to give users money and let you advertise.
It's a pity that the free model makes these people confused at first, let alone the development of the advertising model towards the gold coin model.
The price reduction proposed by Wall is very simple.
Give advertisers more favorable prices, retain these sponsors first, and then increase the amount of advertising.
Waldao: "Gentlemen, life or death is at stake! If we cannot win this battle, even if we survive, we will probably only survive."
"So, we have to give it a try."
The heads of several major music platforms have remained silent.
Wall is absolutely right.
Whether it is Bill's "peak" music or Wall's "transcendence" music, they will all be knocked to the ground.
Mai Liwen said: "Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. If it is also free, our biggest advantage is the music library. We have the music library of three music platforms."
"On the original three platforms, we can adopt the current model, where membership is free and downloads are charged."
"On the Flywheel platform, we adopt a completely free model to differentiate users first and avoid losing users..."
A considerable number of these users do not like to watch ads and would rather spend money.
Commonly known as "not short of money".
By retaining this part and developing free users, we may be able to compete with the other party.
After setting this goal, the "Flywheel" platform first released free information.
Now users are happy.
