Beta version, meaning beta version.

Ye Dongqinghua had more than 20 million US dollars in Skype technology and patents acquired by those Estonians. It was almost completed when he got it, but it was not very stable. At that time, he had a small problem of unstable call during actual testing in Rome.

After a group of Facebook employees worked overtime day and night to optimize and improve, it seemed that they could enter the public testing stage. According to Ye Dongqing's idea, users only need to enter the corresponding Facebook account to call other users who also have Skype account. They can use this to bundle and sell it with Facebook, easily bring Facebook users into Skype, avoiding secondary promotion and spending money in vain.

This is just the initial version now. In the future, instant text chat and video call functions can be added, turning Skype into a subsidiary independent of Facebook. Even if you don’t use Facebook, you can promote it as an independent communication platform.

He asked Mr. Alfred and said, "The download is now open? I can't seem to use it yet, and the page did not respond after clicking it."

"No, you need to ask for your consent first. I specially found a few young people to redesign the company's official website page. It looks much tidy than before, right?

If you agree to open testing, I can get started now. The ad has been designed, and the promotional word is the one on the download page: a free call program that can make communication operators crazy."

"It's quite a bit more highlights, but I'll definitely be targeted by those operators, but no matter what, those people make money, they won't take me to score. Open the test to see how many users can attract to use it, find more people to improve it. It would be great if you can launch a few people to talk together."

Skype will be obtained and will develop in online video calls in the future. It is certain that it will attract a group of communication operators, but there is no big problem.

Compared to these people, Ye Dongqing should be more worried about pressure from other aspects. Recently, he has turned down too many requests to try to invest in Facebook. It is difficult to guarantee that no one will use a trick to force him to give up some of his benefits. Money can make people crazy.

This aspect is worthy of attention, but it is not a major event. Every time I reply, I have no financing plan for the time being and have not said anything, giving them some hope.

For example, those investment banks that hope to go public at that time, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, etc., all have contacts with Ye Dongqing. If it really doesn't work, give up some profits and ask them for help. There are many institutions that are optimistic about Facebook's potential. No one is so arrogant that he thinks that he can cover the sky with just one hand, which will only push Ye Dongqing into the arms of others.

It sounds ambiguous, but that's what it means. Now he only needs to increase his exposure and let more people know that he is forced to learn from a real estate tycoon and use social platforms to expose public opinion pressure. Ye Dongqing can do such a thing.

Mr. Alfred replied: "The technology of multi-person calls is not difficult. We will add it next time we update it. You are sure to launch it today, right? I can't guarantee that it will support so many users to use it at the same time. There is a high probability that the server will be paralyzed."

"Then let's open it to some users first, and do whatever you want. Don't you still have funds in your account? The money you should spend does not need to be saved. User experience is the most important thing."

Ye Dongqing opened the drawer and took out a cigar. It was not a big deal. After all, there were no competitors on the market, so it was more like celebrating in advance. According to previous ideas, new Skype users will get 100 hours of free call time, and then they need to recharge.

The phone bill is about one-third of the normal phone bill, and my heart is still a little darker. The phone bill in Skype in his previous life was almost one-tenth. He felt that it would not be too late to reduce it after a competitor appeared. He had an advantage in international long-distance business, and the world's price was the same.

On the phone with Mr. Alfred, his mind had already gone to other places. Unlike Facebook, Skype is more like a messing stick in Ye Dongqing's eyes, and it is easy to cause trouble. It is certain that it causes resistance, but I don't know how strong the resistance of those telecom operators will be. It is difficult to guess just by guessing. You will know after Skype spreads...

About half an hour later, many English-language Facebook users received an official push message.

Someone is using Facebook and out of curiosity, they look in to check out this beta new program called Skype. They think Facebook is cool, so they naturally think that new products will be cool too.

Richard Rockefeller is one of them. He just had sex with Brown University girl at the party and was talking on the phone with the other party. His phone was so hot that it didn't prevent Richard from using Facebook to interact with another girl under the photo.

When it comes to the chaos in his life style, Ye Dongqing is simply not worth mentioning compared to him.

At this moment, when I received an official push message, Richard clicked the mouse to check it out. After seeing the simple and clear product introduction, I couldn't help but find it interesting, so I downloaded it casually and told the female student on the other end of the phone about it.

In 2003, the network transmission speed was already pretty good. I quickly confirmed the installation. Follow the guidance to enter the FB account and password, agreed to enable Skype, and allow some friends to view the randomly assigned numbers of Skype. The communication list inside was empty and no one was added yet.

When he returned to Facebook, Richard found a green "SK" sign under the FB account, showing it is online.

I found it even more interesting and urged the female student to register as well. While dialing on the phone, she also used Skype on the computer to make a call. She quickly plugged in her headphones. After Richard hung up the phone, she said, "Wow, can you hear me? I'm using this Skype to dial you. Are you there?"

"I can hear it. Sorry, my roommate came back just now, and now I'm chatting with you on the balcony. This program is so cool! When I finish the small task, I can get a total of 150 hours of free call time. If my friends use it too, then the phone bill will save a lot of money in the future. As long as I have the Internet, I can use it!"

Richard Rockefeller thought more. He smelled the strong business opportunity and said with a smile: "The Facebook boss is a cool Chinese, and he is very smart. I am not surprised that he can come up with such a good program. The only regret is that he can only use it on a computer.

When the number of users increases, those communication operators will definitely get angry and spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build communication infrastructure. They originally planned to make money through phone bills, but they didn't expect that it would be cheaper for others. Maybe it might get into a lawsuit..."
