Well, throwing money at anything would work.
Not having a holiday before the New Year was indeed a matter of public anger. However, this matter and the five-fold increase in salary …
It was really not a big deal.
"F * ck, five times the salary for the New Year. It's going to be paid."
"Fine, I'm not going home for the New Year."
"I'm not going home either."
Normally, if the company did not have a holiday, the salary would be doubled. There were very few companies that actually gave out three times the salary.
However, it was not just three times, but five times.
So what if they did not go home for the New Year?
The employees who originally had some opinions had long since thrown their opinions to the back of their minds.
"Boss Chen, you're awesome."
Zhang Jianming also admired Chen Yu.
Boss Chen had always done things cleanly and efficiently.
"What's so awesome about it? Actually, I feel bad."
Chen Yu also felt helpless.
As a capitalist, although Chen Yu was generous, he also felt bad about giving so many people five times the salary.
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
The reason why he set it on the first day of the New Year was because he was interested in the market.
The entertainment industry was not as developed as in the future.
In 2001, going online was still a relatively new thing.
Although the first day of the New Year was a good day for family reunions, it was also a good time for friends to go online.
It would be very popular if they went online at this time.
Moreover, it was the first day of the New Year at Penguin.
Even if there were some on duty, they could not make any decisions.
Taking this opportunity to sneak an attack, the probability of success was not small.
Of course, Chen Yu was not just going to do a sneak attack.
From the first day of the New Year to the seventh day of the New Year, when Penguin really reacted …
Chen Yu believed that in these seven days, their YY had accumulated a considerable number of users.
…
"Dad, I'm quite busy during this period. I might not be home."
"Is your studio really that busy?"
"Mom, we're not a studio anymore. We're a company, okay?"
"Isn't that the same?"
"Okay, anyway, the company is quite busy. I might not be home for the New Year."
"No way, you're not even going home for the New Year? You don't even want your parents anymore?"
"How could it be so serious? Just this once, don't do it again."
After exchanging a few words with his parents, Chen Yu returned to the company.
Chen Simian complained, "Brat, I'll go to your company one day and see what you're up to."
…
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
YY's various functions had been developed and was currently undergoing internal testing.
"Test the channel management authority again."
"Super Administrator, black with white edges, also known as Dark Horse."
"Channel owner, Purple, short for Purple Horse."
"Channel Manager, Orange, or Orange Horse for short."
"Channel manager, Yellow, or Yellow Horse for short."
In order to differentiate the different types of authority, YY also set the color of the administrator.
This method was clear at a glance, and everyone understood at a glance.
At the same time, this method also increased the manager's authority and greatly increased the manager's attraction.
Perhaps some ordinary channels were nothing, but for some large channels, even a yellow horse was very attractive.
"How did the test go?"
"Boss Chen, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"What about the photo album?"
"There's no problem, but we've limited the upload of the photo album to a certain extent. For the time being, we can only upload a maximum of 100 photos. Any more and we'll have to expand the server again. "
"Yes, contact the telecom side and expand another 10 servers."
"That many?"
"Just in case, if too many people suddenly squeeze in and we can't add more servers in time, it'll be a tragedy."
"Okay."
Li Nan quickly contacted the telecommunications company.
As a big customer of Telecom, they immediately arranged for manpower as soon as 5173 called.
Within two hours, 10 servers were added.
"Brother Jian, how's the contact with the major guilds?"
"I've already told the people in charge of the major guilds."
"What do they think of YY?"
"Because we haven't launched YY yet, they don't know what to say. However, I said that on the first day of the New Year, we'll be releasing an instant messaging app exclusively for their guilds. They're very interested. "
"Hahaha, Brother Jian, your words are very tempting."
Chen Yu laughed.
An instant messaging app exclusively for the guilds.
These words made Chen Yu a little excited.
This was practically tailor-made for them. Even if YY was bullshit, they would still give it a try.
"Also, I've asked them to inform the internet cafe owners and ask them to download YY in advance."
Zhang Jianming added.
"Brother Jian, just for this sentence, I'll give you a big red packet at the end of the year."
Chen Yu gave Zhang Jianming a thumbs up.
That's right.
The year 2001 was not like the future, there weren't many people who owned a PC.
Everyone was surfing the net in internet cafes.
Since they were surfing the net in internet cafes, the owners of the internet cafes would have to download all kinds of software in advance.
Of course, if your software was popular, the owners of the internet cafes would download it without needing any instructions.
But if your software was just launched, who would know about it?
If they didn't download it, even if there were users who wanted to play YY, they wouldn't know how to play it.
Don't think that those who went online would know how to download it online.
In this era, everyone was a computer noob. Downloading software was a high-level operation, not everyone would know how to do it.
What? You still don't believe me?
That was a joke that broke out some time ago. A girl asked the internet cafe owner to download a few hundred QQ coins for her.
Zhang Jianming was actually able to consider this factor in advance. It had to be said that he was really not simple.
…
Chinese New Year's Eve.
More than 100 people from Huanyu Technologies gathered together and set up a dozen tables in the company's cafeteria.
Moreover, there were 10 red packets on each table. It was a small token of appreciation from the company to the employees.
It was winter and the temperature was a little low.
Chen Yu was at the front line. He sent an apron and served everyone a bowl of stewed pork rib soup.
The soup was fragrant and fragrant, sprinkled with some chopped green onions. The 100 employees chatted as they drank the hot soup.
"Boss Chen is really generous. Not only is he giving us five times the salary at the end of the year, he's even serving us soup personally."
"There's even a red packet."
"Yeah, it's Chinese New Year. Boss Chen didn't even go back to his house."
"That's why we can't compare to Boss Chen."
"I don't want to compare. I'll be satisfied if I can have one-tenth, no, one-hundredth of Boss Chen."
"Come, let's have a drink. We have to fight the battle tomorrow."
Everyone toasted.
Seeing that Chen Yu was constantly busy, everyone only felt warmth in their hearts.
Not to mention drinking a mouthful of hot soup, they felt their whole body boiling and indescribably energetic.
At midnight, no one went to sleep.
Chen Yu hugged the fireworks and firecrackers and said to everyone, "Come, come, let's go outside and light the firecrackers."
Bang, bang, bang … The sound of firecrackers kept coming.
2001 passed.
2002. A new year had arrived.
"Happy Chinese New Year."
"Happy Chinese New Year."
"Happy Chinese New Year …"
