"Brother Profiteer, you're awesome. That YY app of yours is awesome."
"Awesome. You're still using QQ."
"Uh, I'm just contacting you. This is my YY number. Add me."
"Okay."
King's Soul sent Chen Yu his YY number on QQ.
Chen Yu logged into YY and added King's Soul's YY number as his friend.
"I'll just use YY in the future."
"Of course. Brother Profiteer's product must be supported. However, I can't completely abandon QQ for the time being. I still have some business on it. "
"It's okay. I'm just saying. If YY is useful, then use it. If not, then don't use it."
Chen Yu did not rely on this method to pull in users. Honestly speaking,
"Damn, Brother Profiteer. Your attitude in making software is very good. With your attitude, I believe YY will definitely become popular."
"Thank you for your kind words. Oh right, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"What's your relationship with Unparalleled Domineering?"
"What relationship? We're brothers in the game."
"Brothers?"
"Aren't we?"
"Uh … I think you should figure out the situation first."
"What do you mean?"
King's Soul was a bit confused.
"Nothing. Okay, that's it. Have a good chat with Unparalleled Domineering."
Chen Yu didn't point it out. He ended the chat with King's Soul.
…
"Happy New Year, Zhi Dong."
"Happy New Year, Pony."
"How are you at home?"
"Boring."
"Hehe, it's boring during the New Year. Don't be like this."
"What do you want? I'm such a boring person. Oh right, I have something to tell you. "
"What?"
"I found a very interesting software."
"What software?"
“YY
。”
“YY？ I've never heard of it. What kind of software is it? "
"I don't know how to classify it. He has chat rooms and instant messaging."
"Chat rooms and instant messaging. What kind of software is this?"
"If you want to classify it, it should be instant messaging."
"Instant messaging?"
Pony was Ma Huateng's username.
In the beginning, Ma Huateng used the name Pony on various major websites.
"Which company developed it? NetEase?"
"NetEase is planning to develop instant messaging, but it hasn't been launched yet. It's not NetEase. It's developed by a company called Huanyu Technologies."
"Huanyu Technologies?"
"Huanyu Technologies has a website called 5173.com."
Ma Huateng hadn't heard of Huanyu Technologies before, but he knew about the 5173 network when it was mentioned.
Speaking of 5173.com, Ma Huateng was jealous and wanted to set up a game portal.
After all, 5173's method of capturing guilds was too commercial. Looking at the recent large number of advertisements, 5173's advertising fees were much higher than their portal's. But in the end, Ma Huateng did not have the energy and the failure of Sohu's gaming portal. He gave up on this idea for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Ma Huateng didn't want to set up a game portal, but 5173, as a game portal, actually set up instant messaging.
"They didn't set up a game portal, but set up instant messaging?"
Ma Huateng was a bit puzzled.
Logically speaking, 5173 should have set up an online game portal as soon as possible.
Looking at it now, which online game portal didn't make a lot of money?
But the strange thing was, 5173 didn't set up an online game portal first. Instead, they set up instant messaging first.
"I'm not too sure about this, but anyone can see the potential of instant messaging. It's understandable that 5173 wants to set up instant messaging."
"That's true."
Ma Huateng nodded: "This is why I've always opposed the company entering other fields. Instant messaging hasn't really monopolized the market yet. There are still many competitors. Previously, there was Xinlang, and today, there was 5173. Now, there was Netease … Perhaps Netease's IM would be released tomorrow. Oh right, how many downloads are they doing? "
"They just released today, so I don't know."
"They just released today."
Ma Huateng sighed in relief.
He thought this YY software had already reached a certain scale. He didn't expect it to just be released today.
"Pony. Although it was just released today, I think this software is very interesting. At the very least, it's more creative than the products we competed with before. Also, it makes up for our shortcomings. "
"What do you mean?"
"You can use it later. Their YY isn't just an instant messaging software. They've also made it into a chat room. It's like an instant messaging + entertainment model. I don't know how this model is like, but it seems to have a certain appeal. "
"Okay, I'll use it later. After the New Year, we'll go back to the company and study it together."
"Okay."
It was the New Year. Although there were still people on duty, most people were on holiday.
Moreover, there were only seven days off for the New Year. After seven days, everyone could return to the company.
Although YY was a creative product, there was no rush.
However, even though Ma Huateng and the others weren't in a hurry, Chen Yu didn't stop at all.
YY had a good start, and they had to continue this good start.
"Brother Jian, 5173 is organizing an event. As long as you sign up for YY, we'll give you a one month membership."
5173 still had some traffic.
However, not everyone would download YY.
Some just went to 5173 to read the news or something. There weren't too many people like that.
To let these people download, register and use YY, they had to pay a price.
Fortunately, the price wasn't high.
As soon as a VIP membership event came out, a group of people who didn't think of signing up for YY downloaded it one after another.
Of course, it wasn't just on this site.
On other sites, Chen Yu also started a series of advertising promotion.
For example, Tianya, Mao Pu, China People's Forum, and even major e-commerce platforms.
However, the advertisements weren't placed on all websites, nor were they placed on the websites with more traffic.
For example, Chen Yu didn't place any advertisements on major portals.
It wasn't that he was reluctant to spend money, but the conversion rate of advertisements on major portals wasn't high.
Even if people saw such advertisements, they wouldn't download them.
Just like Sina UC last year, there wasn't much effect on portals alone.
The best way to promote instant messaging was to spread it by word of mouth.
Therefore, these second-tier but very representative websites became the focus of Chen Yu's advertisements.
Like Tianya, there were a bunch of literati in it.
They could set up a few literati channels on YY.
Another example was Mao Pu, there were a bunch of people who played jokes. They could also go to the YY channel.
Similarly, not only that, Chen Yu also paid attention to the major gaming forums.
These were the most active groups of people today.
With them, they could stimulate the popularity of YY again and again.
Just like the current channels, what channels were the most popular? They were all gaming channels.
With such a promotion, and the YY chat room, a many-to-many group chat method, the number of people who registered for YY increased by leaps and bounds.
1.5 million.
2 million.
3 million.
3.5 million.
3.8 million.
4 million.
In just seven days, the number of people who registered for YY reached a terrifying 4 million.
There were 600,000 people who registered almost every day, which could be called a miracle.
