"It works, Mr. Zhou Ming, your method is really effective! In just over a week, we have added 1,000 new registered users."

In the morning, Zhou Ming had just finished his exercise with his bodyguard Zhang Linchen, and received a call from Ma Weixun, and then he heard him excitedly report the good news to him.

Of course, Ma Weixun was very happy, because it took him more than a month to scan many office buildings and knock on the doors of the company. He took a lot of effort to collect a thousand users. But now Zhou Ming has just a little strategy and they go to Internet cafes, but in just one week, they have added more than a thousand new users. How can he not excite him?

However, Ma Weixun was happy, but Zhou Ming was not so happy, and even a little unsatisfied: "Is it so happy that only one thousand new users?"

Ma Weixun heard Zhou Ming's tone, which made him realize that he was really too unsuccessful. Just a thousand new users could be so happy. He even came over to report the good news to Mr. Zhou Ming. It was so shameful.

So Ma Weixun then apologized to Zhou Ming, saying that he would work harder to create more users of Penguin in the future.

Zhou Ming was indeed a little angry at Ma Weixun's lack of prospects. Of course, he also understood that people in this era have limitations of this era. Even a big man like Ma Weixun dared not think about the future user base of billions in this era. If a tens of thousands of users is already a giant.

Zhou Ming tactfully introduced the concept of online users to Ma Weixun: "In fact, the number of users is just an indicator, and what is more important is the number of users we are online at the same time, that is, the number of users who log in to Penguin at the same time. This can truly reflect the influence of Penguin. You can implement this technology as soon as possible."

Facts proved that Zhou Ming's concerns were reasonable. Almost when Ma Weixun reported the good news to Zhou Ming, Rao Zhidong, who was the agent on the other side, called Cao Jianning and once again expressed his views on the matter of investing in Penguin.

He first said that he checked the promotion of Penguin as usual and found that Ma Weixun is now promoting Internet cafes, mainly aimed at the student group, and the number of new users has increased by more than 1,000 in one week.

"But I'm still not optimistic about this situation."

Rao Zhidong told Cao Jianning that such promotion is ineffective in his opinion, because first of all, these Internet cafe owners are trying hard to register with the idea of ​​completing tasks; secondly, these students do not go online every day, and they may just want to be fresh. Many people forget their Penguin account after registering, and they will register a new one next time. Many people even register a few dozen or so at a time.

"So I think Penguin's new users are mixed with a lot of water. Our investment needs to be temporarily suspended. We should observe the situation first."

Rao Zhidong hesitated for a moment and still expressed his thoughts to Cao Jianning: "I think they are just hyping up the way to cash out the company's brand. They just want to make the data beautiful, but they don't care about the use of these data or even the authenticity of the data."

Even Cao Jianning hesitated for a moment before choosing to continue to trust Zhou Ming: "It's better to follow the original idea, withdraw five million yuan as soon as possible, and then invest in Penguin Company. If this is Zhou Ming's plan, then there will definitely be his reason. We just need to wait for the result."

Rao Zhidong was unhappy, he thought Cao Jianning was a big bet.

"If it's 50,000 or even 500,000, I have no objection to investing by boss, but this is 5 million! Any investment you make is more promising than Penguin!" Rao Zhidong also emphasized, "I am a Ph.D. in Economics from Southern California Business School. I have seen many such routines in the United States. I can assure you that they will only repeatedly emphasize meaningless data such as new users to deceive more investments!"

Cao Jianning asked Rao Zhidong to wait for a while, he had a phone call.

A moment later, when Cao Jianning picked up the phone with Rao Zhidong again, he told him in a strange tone: "Manager Rao, the phone call just now was called by Mr. Zhou Ming."

Rao Zhidong smiled at the time: "Ha! I knew that Zhou Ming would definitely keep emphasizing the value of new users to you, or showing how powerful their new plan is, and it will increase thousands of users in a moment, and maybe it will exceed ten thousand in less than a month!"

However, Cao Jianning told him: "I'm sorry, my Manager Rao, you guessed it wrong. Mr. Zhou Ming called me to tell me that they thought the calculations of simple new users were too general and not enough to fully express the true value of Penguin. They developed another calculation method, namely, to calculate the number of online users at the same time."

What?

Rao Zhidong was stunned at the time. He couldn't believe his ears. In his opinion, since the Internet cafe promotion effect was so good, as a company in the early stage of entrepreneurship, of course, he had to vent his luck, because only in this way can he continue to cheat investment, especially now that Zhou Ming needs Cao Jianning to spend 5 million to buy shares, he needs to have corresponding "good-looking" data.

But in the end, he slapped him in the face. Zhou Ming actually told Cao Jianning directly about the disadvantages of the number of new users, and instead focused on the data of the same online user.

As a talent that Cao Jianning dug back from the United States with high salaries, Rao Zhidong certainly understands the significance of the number of online users. Compared with the number of new users who can seriously infuse water, the number of online users is the real value, even if a computer can hang several Penguin accounts at the same time.

"Maybe... they said that so as to eliminate your vigilance from your boss, and then this technique will be dragged on. Anyway, you don't understand the boss."

Rao Zhidong racked his brains to find excuses for himself, but Cao Jianning's next words embarrassed him again.

"Penguin has already made the technology and invited us to check it out at any time," said Cao Jianning.

kindness?

Fortunately, there are no video calls these days, otherwise the embarrassment on Rao Zhidong's face would have been fully visible to Cao Jianning.

"Boss, we must go over and check it as soon as possible, and bring professional Internet and telecommunications related technical personnel with us, so as not to give them any opportunities to operate!" Rao Zhidong said affirmatively.

So at Rao Zhidong's suggestion, he and Cao Jianning went to Penguin Company the next day, and as Rao Zhidong suggested, he brought relevant technicians.

When they arrived at Penguin Company, Zhou Ming and Ma Weixun greeted them at the door, and then Ma Weixun took them into the company. First, Ma Weixun took them to visit the company. Then when Rao Zhidong asked about the technology of online users, Ma Weixun took the initiative to introduce them.

"In fact, it is not difficult to count online users, because all Penguin data must be transferred through our server, and physical connections are indispensable, so we only need to modify the code a little bit," said Ma Weixun.

It's indeed like

As Ma Weixun said, it is really not difficult for them to count online users, and it is not even difficult for other instant messaging software companies. The only question is whether anyone has thought about it or whether everyone is willing to do this technology. After all, just as Rao Zhidong was worried before, the number of users of the software represents the company's value. Why do you have to add more online users in this way? You must know that the number of online users must be much lower than the number of users, let alone if there is still water injection.

"But the number of users we have is still too small now, and it's morning, and we have only more than one hundred online users."

Ma Weixun felt a little embarrassed, but then he explained: "But last night, the number of our online users exceeded one thousand at the same time, which proves that our users have very little moisture!"

Rao Zhidong nodded. He was a person who understood and knew that the number of people online at the same time was already amazing. But Rao Zhidong wanted to figure out another problem.

"Why do you want to develop the technology of counting online users?" Rao Zhidong asked curiously, "Because as far as I know, you added more than 1,000 new users in the past week, which is already a very good result. No matter whether it is on the surface, what will be exposed if the number of online users?"

When Ma Weixun's face turned cold when he heard Rao Zhidong's question: "Manager Rao, I don't know how to answer your questions. I can only tell you that I really want to treat Penguin as a business person!"

Zhou Ming looked at Cao Jianning on the other side, and smiled and joked: "I didn't expect that if I haven't seen each other for a while, Boss Cao began to doubt me."

Cao Jianning scratched his head embarrassedly, saying that he was also doing business, and that he was strict with Zhou Ming and had more prospects for everyone's cooperation. After all, he did not want to see Zhou Ming fail.

I have to say that Cao Jianning is also very good at speaking. After a while, he was better for Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming didn't have time to argue with him on this issue, and then asked him: "How is it now?"

Cao Jianning was not in a hurry to speak. He glanced at Rao Zhidong, and Rao Zhidong answered for him: "Invest, we will definitely raise five million funds as soon as possible... No, even if we can't raise five million, it doesn't matter. We can sign the contract first, take down the shares, and then give the money slowly, or issue a term check! In short, we have to invest in Penguin!"

Cao Jianning also said that Rao Zhidong could represent his ideas. He also said that he had decided from the very beginning that he wanted to invest, but he also had the responsibility.

Zhou Ming nodded to express his understanding. He then chatted with Cao Jianning for a while. Finally, when they talked about the future development of Penguin, Zhou Ming said to him: "Old Cao, do you think I am satisfied if the number of people online at the same time exceeds 1,000? Let me tell you that it is still early, and I want to make the number of people online at the same time exceed 10,000 as soon as possible!"

Seeing the shock on Cao Jianning and Rao Zhidong's faces, Zhou Ming explained to them: "Don't think I'm bragging. You may not understand the promotion of social users. It's a fission method. Imagine that when you use penguins, you will recommend your friends to use penguins. This way, if you spread it to ten or hundreds of people, the increase in users will not even require us to promote it, and it will explode in geometric state. I am very confident."
