Chapter 492: Penguin development

boom!
Oh~~
A bottle of champagne was sprayed, and several people were wet, even Zhang Yang did not dodge.
"Congratulations to President Ma and President Zhang," Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Two days ago, I was informed that Penguin would celebrate the number of users of Penguin exceeding 10 million. This speed is much faster than the previous life.
And with the rise of Internet cafes, the number of people using Penguin will increase. At present, the vast majority of Internet cafes in the country have placed the Penguin directly on the desktop, and they have become the four most popular products in Internet cafes with browsers, legendary clients, and miracle clients. They also exceed classics such as Counter-Strike. game.
At the end of last year, the number of Penguin registered nationwide was only more than two million. In the first quarter of this year, the monthly growth rate exceeded two million. In the second quarter, the speed was even faster. It is expected that by the end of June, the number of registered users will exceed 20 million, or even higher.
This is only domestic, Zhang Yang has already promoted the Penguin to overseas markets, and has launched the traditional Chinese version, the Russian version and the English version.
Among them, the Russian version, under the agent of Kurishenko, has become the second instant messaging software in Eastern Europe, second only to IcQ.
The English version is also popular in North America and Europe, and the traditional Chinese version is also acceptable in the Southeast Asian market. After all, the Internet development speed in those areas is faster than that in China.
Although the rankings in some regions are still relatively backward and are still in the stage of burning money, the development rate will be faster and faster.
The development of Penguin Company is similar to many traditional Internet industries. First of all, it does not want to make money in the future, it is to users.
Burn hard, promote, increase the number of users, make users feel easy to use, and form a habit. In the future, some derivative services will be launched, even if only 10% of users support it, they can make money.
"Mr. Zhang, the company's development is also inseparable from your help and support." Ma Huateng held a wine glass.
Both Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong have unstoppable smiles on their faces. This user is growing faster than they expected. And they have drawn several talents who know the technology and have money, and joined the company. Everyone works hard for a common dream.
Of course, the big boss is always Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang basically does not intervene in the management of the company. Occasionally, he will provide some suggestions and opinions, so that they will avoid many detours.
They did not expect that the Penguin's expansion in overseas markets was so rapid. Nowadays, the ranking of instant messaging software has risen extremely fast. It is estimated that it will not take long to reach the top ten or even the top five.
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, let me introduce to you that these few shareholders who joined the company in the last year are also the management of the company. This is Chen Yidan..."
Ma Huateng introduced to Zhang Yang the current executives of the Penguin Company, and he was also demonstrating with the executives why the company is not bad because there is a big boss behind the scenes.
Everyone thought that the Penguin Group was founded by his Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong was a partner, but they didn't know that the big boss behind the scenes was the hero of the company's development.
Because this person was also very optimistic about the instant messaging software industry, you can invest in other companies without investing in them. The initial promotion of the Penguin did not get the help of this president.
"You are all elites, and I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, our penguin company will definitely get better and better." Zhang Yang glanced at it. These are the executives of the past life of the penguin group. The big brother he looked up to.
But now, don't look at the fact that they are older, you can see that Zhang Yang has to bow his head.
"Has the company's next development plan been finalized, have you thought about how to make money?" Zhang Yang asked.
"The next step is of course to continue to increase the number of users, especially the number of active users. We hope that netizens will love Penguin and get used to it."
"When everyone goes online, they habitually log in Penguin, even if they don't take the initiative to chat, someone will find him to chat."
"And this can be used not only for chatting, but also for making friends and netizens, just like the pen pals at the beginning. We also use this to work in our company, to deliver some less important news notifications, etc. I heard that Zhiduoxing Within the group, the Penguin is also used to deliver some notifications."
Zhang Zhidong's answer made Zhang Yang nod in satisfaction: "We Zhiduoxing Group also use this, which is very convenient. It can also save some paper and save many non-essential documents."
"But these don't seem to make any money. I see that now the Penguin has opened a VIP, so that members can experience some new features in advance, and can some means be used to retrieve the lost account?"
Now Penguin has been stolen, but not so rampant. In another two years, this will become a very common phenomenon, all kinds of hacking software, Trojan horses, some are for some auspicious numbers, some are used to deceive people.
Penguin has protected some user accounts by paying, which is not bad, but it is not enough.
"We are also exploring some profit models, but now the technology is not mature enough, many ideas, temporarily unable to realize." Ma Huateng explained.
Zhang Yang thought for a while: "I will give you some suggestions, please refer to it. Many foreign websites now use advertisements to increase revenue. Penguin’s website views are not high~EbookFREE.me~but use There are so many people on the Penguin. Have you ever thought about pushing ads to users?"
"General users put the Penguin on the edge of the screen. After the Penguin is logged in, it is also on the corner of the taskbar. Is it possible to get a pop-up advertisement on the corner of the screen? Anyone who has logged in to the account Everyone can see this pop-up advertisement."
"They can choose to click to see the detailed advertisement. They can also click directly to ignore this advertisement. If you do not operate, then the advertisement will disappear after a few seconds, the impact is not great."
"But it should be noted that the pop-up window cannot affect the game screen. If a player pops up a pop-up window while playing the game, causing his game character to die, he will be very angry. Maybe when playing the game later, It won’t land on Penguin anymore."
"There is also the introduction of some derivative products to attract users and increase revenue. Members are good at this method, and they can also sell some virtual currency or the like to replace cash. After all, not everyone can recharge at any time. Many people do not even have online banking."
"In the chat box, add some emoticons, which looks cute and makes people feel more interesting. At the same time, each chat box adds characters and allows players to personalize their designs, but it costs money..."
