Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 259 Astonishing revenue, a sensation on the entire Internet
The Wujiang network disk function has been successfully developed and can be launched at any time.

That night, Tang Letong then notified the four investment companies of Wujiang Group, Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Barclays Bank, that Wujiang's online disk business would be launched on the website, and let them pay attention.

Around 8pm.

Wujiang network disk business is fully launched.

On the right side of the Wujiang portal website, a logo symbol of "network disk" suddenly appeared.

Click enter to enter the Wujiang network disk page.

On the left side of the Wujiang network disk page, from top to bottom are "enterprise space", "personal files", "my sharing", "received sharing", "local synchronization", "recycle bin" six Basic functions, on the right side is the corresponding network disk for storing files.

In the lower left corner of the page, you can also see the total storage and usage of the Wujiang network disk.

In the "Personal Files" function, some categories are specially made, including "Albums", "Videos", "Documents", "Novels", and "Audios".

The "Enterprise Space" function includes "Department Document Library", "My Document Library", "My Concern" and so on...

Of course, you can also customize and create various names.

The initial network disk capacity of Wujiang Portal for all users is 1GB.

Generally speaking, it is enough to store some documents, photos, videos, etc. for the time being.

But to say enough, that is unlikely.

If the capacity is not enough, you must open a VIP member of the network disk to purchase capacity.

Level 1 VIP, add 5GB capacity, monthly subscription is $1, annual subscription is $10.

Level 2 VIP, add 50GB capacity, monthly subscription is $10, annual subscription is $100.

Level 3 VIP, add 100GB capacity, monthly subscription is $20, annual subscription is $200.

Level 4 VIP, add 150GB capacity, monthly subscription is $30, annual subscription is $300.

Level 5 VIP, add 200GB capacity, monthly subscription is $40, annual subscription is $400.

……

Level 9 VIP, add 400GB capacity, monthly subscription is $80, annual subscription is $800.

The above are only the charging standards for the personal version of the network disk.

The enterprise version of the network disk is more expensive, and the initial capacity of the free gift is 10GB.
However, the charging standard for the enterprise version is different from that of the personal version.

The main billing items of the yearly and monthly package of the enterprise version network disk include: storage fee + user service fee.

基本套餐【1TB/5用户/年】的具体收费标准为：存储费用1000美元/1TB/年+用户服务费100美元/5用户/年。

This is easy to understand. The storage fee for 1TB is US$1000 per year, and if 5 users use it, the user service fee is US$100.

In other words, the total cost of the basic plan [1TB/5 users/year] is $1100.

If it is a package of [1TB/10 users/year], the storage fee remains the same, but the number of users increases by 5, which means an increase of US$100, and the cost is US$1200.

无疆门户网站还推出了很多个套餐，【1TB/15用户/年】、【1TB/20用户/年】、【2TB/5用户/年】、【2TB/10用户/年】、【10TB/100用户/年】、【20TB/200用户/年】等等，企业可以按需购买。

Of course, the price of both the personal network disk and the enterprise version network disk is a little bit expensive, but it is normal to be more expensive, because the hard disk itself is very expensive in this period, and the capacity is small.The Wujiang Portal is also very rogue, not to mention the corporate version of the network disk, but the personal version of the network disk is not permanently expanded.Collecting rent every month for several years is more expensive than buying a hard disk with the same storage capacity.

At present, only the SSD solid-state hard drive launched by Wujiang Group using flash memory technology can break through 50GB.

IBM's mechanical hard drive is still hovering below 10GB.

As soon as the Wujiang network disk function was launched, the Wujiang portal began to spare no effort to promote it.

Netizens were pleasantly surprised when they saw this feature.

They never thought that they could also store things in the network disk, and download them when they wanted.

"Oye! The function of the Wujiang network disk is really great. My computer's hard disk capacity is no longer enough. I can just upload some photos and documents to the network disk!"

"Hey hey, my Japanese love action movies can be uploaded to the network disk, and you can download them anytime you want to watch them. It's really convenient!" A wretched netizen left a message in the comment area.

"I am a videographer. The photos in my camera often have no place to store because the capacity is full. The emergence of Wujiang network disk is really a great blessing for us videographers! Otherwise, we can only bear the pain Delete the photo I finally took!"

"Brothers, the record company is cracking down on pirated music. I heard that several pirated music websites have been shut down because of the despicable power. So, while there are still pirated music websites on the Internet, quickly download your favorite songs. , and then upload it to the Wujiang network disk. When you want to listen, you can download it.”

Netizens have used their ingenuity to make full use of the value of the Wujiang network disk.

Even netizens who don’t need to store files very much love the network disk. They only feel that the network disk is a very convenient thing. After uploading files to the network disk, they can be downloaded and used at any time in the future, which is equivalent to carrying a file with them. U disk.

……

"It's on fire, Mr. Tang! Our Wujiang network disk is on fire!!!" At 9 o'clock the next morning, after Tang Letong came to the company, he stood nervously in the office lobby waiting for the news. At this time, a technician excitedly ran over and shouted loudly.

"As of now, 303 million people have tried Wujiang Netdisk!"

"Among them, 2.7 individuals paid for it, with an income of 58 U.S. dollars!!!"

"There are 371 paying users of the enterprise version, and the revenue is 72 US dollars!!!"

Tang Letong was shocked when he heard this, the result was much higher than he expected, and he didn't expect so many people to pay!

In fact, the main reason is that the hard disk capacity during this period is really not enough.

The largest hard disk capacity is 50GB, but the price is relatively expensive.Most users, their computer hard disk capacity is less than 10GB.

10GB seemed high in the past, but Wujiang Group has launched a lot of software, especially some computer games, with relatively large capacity, and games close to 1GB abound.

The latest version of the Hongmeng system also occupies a size of about 1.25GB.

As a result, many people's computer hard drives are not enough. Buying Wujiang Group's SSD hard drives is more expensive, hundreds of dollars, or even thousands of dollars.

In this case, it is better to open the network disk with a monthly subscription.

For individual users, the monthly subscription is only $1, and the annual subscription is only $1.

42.8% of individual paying users have opened level 1 VIP.

Tang Letong said excitedly: "That's great, the Wujiang Netdisk earned 130 million dollars in revenue on the first day it went online. It's a good start!"

After speaking, he immediately picked up the phone and called Zhao Ye.

"Boss, the Wujiang network disk is on fire!!!"

Tang Letong immediately reported the detailed data to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye smiled calmly, he had expected this situation a long time ago.

In the era when the hard disk capacity is too small, the value of the network disk is infinitely magnified.

"With the increasing popularity of Wujiang Netdisk, the number of individual users and corporate users will increase sharply!" Zhao Ye laughed.

Tang Letong laughed and said, "The sales of Wujiang Netdisk are so good, now I can finally give an explanation to investors. The second round of financing of Wujiang Portal will also proceed smoothly!"

"Yes! However, it is better not to release the data for the time being, and we will inform them after a week." Zhao Ye said.

"Okay, Director Zhao!"

……

Borderless network disk is on fire.

Many people even volunteered to promote it.

In colleges and universities, teachers encourage students to use Wujiang Netdisk. The teacher puts some courseware content into his "My Sharing". Select the teacher's network disk account in it, enter a set of passwords, and then you can download the courseware content.

According to word of mouth, there are more and more users of Wujiang Netdisk.

For a while, major media in the industry reported one after another, and it also aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Major websites in the Internet industry also involuntarily conduct investigations on Wujiang Netdisk.

A week later, the number of individual users of Wujiang Netdisk exceeded 2300 million, of which 302 million were paying users, and most of them had opened level 1 VIP.

The increase in users of the enterprise version is also astonishing. There are already 3.5 large, medium and small companies using the Wujiang network disk, and the paying users are as high as 65%.

In just one week, the Wujiang Portal generated a revenue of 1.6 million US dollars by virtue of the Wujiang network disk!

When Tang Letong notified the news to the four investment companies of Wujiang Portal, the four investment companies were all stunned.

Awesome! ! !
Sequoia Capital CEO Don Valentine danced excitedly, his eyes gleaming. If global netizens and companies all over the world become users of Wujiang Netdisk, wouldn’t the Wujiang Portal be about to make a lot of money? !

Goldman Sachs Group CEO Michael Pullman even picked up the phone to contact Tang Letong directly, saying: "Mr. Tang, isn't Wujiang Portal going to conduct a second round of financing? Our Goldman Sachs Group is willing to lead the investment!!!"

Morgan Stanley and Barclays couldn't sit still, and were stunned by the shock.

At the same time, they couldn't help thinking, if the Borderless Portal entered the United States, wouldn't the revenue within a week exceed 3 million U.S. dollars!
"Oh, God, let's Morgan Stanley grab more shares of Borderless Portal!!!" Morgan Stanley's president Spencer Barnard murmured.

A few days later, Wujiang Portal started its second round of financing. At this time, the valuation of Wujiang Portal had soared to an extremely terrifying level, at least 600 billion US dollars!
This time, more investment companies came to participate in the financing.

Of course, Zhao Ye will not let Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley and Barclays continue to grow bigger, so during the second round of financing, Wujiang Portal will introduce more investors.

Tang Letong is solely responsible for the second round of financing, which plans to raise US$100 billion.

After more than ten days of negotiations, Goldman Sachs led the investment, followed by the remaining eleven investment companies.

The financing of Wujiang Portal will be the last financing, and then it is time to go to NASDAQ for listing.

However, before going public, Zhao Ye hopes that the shareholders of Wujiang Portal will work together to push Wujiang Portal into the US market.

At this time, the United States has actually discovered that what it has done has not caused a devastating blow to Wujiang Group. Instead, it has promoted in-depth cooperation between Europe and other regions and Wujiang Group, and has achieved technological and economic achievements. good achievement.

In contrast, the United States has fallen behind Europe and even China in many fields, mainly in the Internet and semiconductor fields.

For example, ADSL is already popular in Europe, and the Internet speed is very fast.

As for the United States, the dial-up modem is still used, and the Internet speed is as slow as a snail.

Wujiang Group's ADSL has formed a patent barrier, and it is not easy to bypass it for a while.The United States must pay twice the result with half the effort.

And the fiber optic technology in the United States is not strong.

It is also difficult to bypass the patents of Wujiang Group.

For various reasons, the development of the Internet in the United States is much slower than in previous lives.

Today, Americans watch Europeans surfing the Internet with deep envy.

Zhao Ye has already felt that the United States has been unable to do what it wants, and will loosen the restrictions on Wujiang Group, allowing some products of Wujiang Group to enter the US market.

Especially in the Internet industry, there are growing calls for Wujiang Group to enter.

Countless American netizens want to go to the Wujiang portal website to play games, want to play games developed by Wujiang Group, and want Wujiang Group to provide more advanced adsl technology to increase Internet speed...

On March 1995, 3, the Wujiang portal website announced that the second round of financing had successfully raised 1 billion US dollars!
As soon as the news came out, it shocked the world!

The Internet industry is rejoicing. The higher the market value of the leader's Wujiang portal website, the market value of these websites will also rise with the tide.

Investors may be full of expectations for them, and they don't want to grow into a giant like Wujiang Portal, as long as they have one-tenth of them, they are satisfied.

When the website goes public, everyone can make a lot of money.

At this moment, countless entrepreneurs are planning to enter the Internet industry one after another. They seem to be fighting chicken blood, and each of them dreams that the website they develop can become a borderless portal website!

The same is true for investors, who care about 21, even if you haven't even typed a single code on the website, as long as you have ideas, then invest!
From March 3st to March 1th, tens of thousands of Internet companies around the world were applied for registration.

This is how the dot-com bubble was formed.

The Wujiang portal website has obtained financing at this time, and there is nothing to say. It continues to burn money, prepares to build a data center, buys servers, and raises the Wujiang Group.

When the Internet bubble bursts and countless Internet companies go bankrupt, the construction of a data center by Wujiang Portal will become a burden. If no one uses it, it will definitely suffer serious losses. At that time, the stock price of Wujiang Portal will definitely fall into a dog, and Wujiang Group can take the opportunity to buy bottom at a low price .

But right now, the industry is doing great.

After each new Internet company was established, most of them paid to use the function of the Wujiang network disk, which brought huge revenue to the Wujiang portal.

This makes the investors of Wujiang Portal very happy.

Therefore, they are also more and more eager to hope that Wujiang Portal will enter the US market and then be listed on Nasdaq. At that time, it will be a carnival feast for all shareholders!

Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley and other big capital or the consortia behind them are all lobbying the US government at the moment.

The US authorities are under a lot of pressure right now.

This issue had to be discussed several times.

Of course, the American local websites dominated by AOL and the investors behind them don't want the Borderless Portal to come in, so they obstruct it in every possible way.

However, the voices of the American people wanting the Borderless Portal to come in are very loud.

"No, the Borderless Portal has the support of the consortium and the public. We really can't bear it. Next year's US election, unless we don't want votes and wait for death, otherwise, we must make changes!" Clinton looked heavy. said.

All the people present fell silent. Obviously, everyone realized that it was already unstoppable for the Borderless Portal to enter the US market...

On March 1995, 3, the US authorities finally couldn't bear the pressure and sent representatives to China, hoping to have a talk with Wujiang Group...
