"The cost of WeChat is in three aspects: operating costs, servers, and improved software." Xiao Qi gave a detailed analysis to Fairy Wife: "If it is done at a high cost and captures the market in a very short time, then the operation
Cost is the first priority. We should not only advertise more on the app store, but also advertise in every corner of the world to let everyone know about the WeChat software and what changes it will bring to people.
, and the most important thing is, it’s free! Oh my God, what else can stop WeChat from becoming popular and even taking the world by storm?”
"Puch~"
Huangfu Cai gently tapped Xiao Qi's chest, "Husband, it would be a waste if you don't sell dog skin plasters!"
Xiao Qi smiled, patted the beautiful girl's buttocks, and after giving a slight punishment, said: "The second one is the server architecture. You can know how expensive this is from the experience of Weibo.
"Fortunately, we don't have to think about bandwidth. Otherwise, it would be unbelievable how much it would cost to face users around the world."
"The servers are all set up in China?" Huangfucai's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
If you are only dealing with customers in China, it is of course no problem to set up the server in China.
But now WeChat has set its sights on the whole world from the beginning, so in this regard, it is of course best to set up the server in the United States.
Because there are only 13 DNS root servers, the most important architecture of the global network.
The only main root server is in the United States, and of the remaining 12 auxiliary root servers, 9 are in the United States, 1 in the United Kingdom, 1 in Sweden, and 1 in Japan.
The main servers in all other countries are all root mirror servers, which are auxiliary root servers equivalent to auxiliary root servers.
To describe it vividly, the main root server is a big tree, the auxiliary root server is the thick branch, and the root mirror server is the leaves on the branch.
What is it specifically?
For example, the English domain name of a website that we enter will actually be converted to an IP address such as "123.22.33.66" and sent to the auxiliary root server in Japan. After receiving signal feedback from there, this will be displayed on the network.
Content on the website.
It's just that because the reaction speed is so fast, we are not aware of this process.
At really critical times, there is no need to cut off the main root server in the United States. As long as the auxiliary root servers in Japan are cut off, all networks in China will be paralyzed. No matter how many root mirror servers you have, it will not work.
This is why Americans often clamor that they can control the world through the Internet.
Leaving aside this country and not mentioning security issues, in terms of usage costs, it is naturally more cost-effective to purchase and use servers directly in the United States.
Xiao Qi's app store is headquartered in the United States, and its servers and website construction are all in the United States. Its operating expenses last month were US$200 million, which greatly exceeded Apple's monthly expenditure of US$100 million in 2009.
Of course, 2009 was not a year of rapid development for Apple. At that time, the IPAD had not yet been released, and the classic 4S model of iPhone had not yet been released. By 2012, Apple’s APPSTORE monthly expenses had reached
Around 300 million.
The vast majority of Xiao Qi's expenses are the website's service content, transaction processing, cloud space and cloud computing expansion and development, and because Xiao Qi is preparing for the future outbreak of Fairy Company, Apple and Samsung, many aspects have been advanced in advance.
The upgrade and expansion cost only 200 million US dollars.
However, if the same thing is done in China, the cost will increase by at least 30% to more than 260 million U.S. dollars, which will increase the terrifying expenditure by 450 million yuan every month.
Huangfucai had discussed this with Xiao Qi before, so she was surprised. After all, setting up the company's servers in the United States had nothing to do with R&D or operations. It was a waste of money to start with, which still made her feel a bit wasteful.
"There are many things that you have to try to master slowly by yourself. Our country in China will upgrade the new World Wide Web system in a few years. By then, there will be a real main root server, so there is no need to worry." Xiao Qi said calmly.
responded, "Since your company is based in China, honey, it's better to prepare in advance."
Of course the young man would not tell her that the "Prism Gate" incident would occur in the United States in a few years. It would be troublesome if WeChat was involved in this scandal because its server is in the United States.
"All right!"
Huangfu Cai nodded and agreed with Xiao Qi's opinion.
The pretty and elegant girl just asked. She has done a lot of homework during this period. WeChat is just a software. It is on the server and does not cost much. It is far from a Weibo website.
Used more.
Even the update and development of software is not a difficult problem. After all, Ye Ye is just a piece of software.
As Xiao Qi said, the real expense of WeChat is still in operating expenses.
"The improvement of software and the improvement of functions are not a problem for the smart Chinese people. The general direction has been laid out, and those engineers naturally have ways to add details." Xiao Qi talked about the third item, "
However, the engineering team should be separated from that of Weibo, because the two departments have different divisions of labor. Let me give you a suggestion. Now the Huangfu Consortium can be established, with its subordinate Weibo company and WeChat company operating independently.
"
"It's not bad to think about it this way~~" Huangfu Cai blinked her beautiful eyes, "I thought you were going to give me the name 'Fairy Consortium'."
"If you like, you can do anything." Xiao Qi spread his hands and said.
"Let's not talk about the name for now, classmate Xiao Qi, how much money are you going to give me when the new company opens?" Huangfucai asked.
"I'll give you as much as you want." The young man said proudly.
"I won't take advantage of you either." The pretty and elegant girl said seriously: "How about you give me 10 billion in cash and I'll let you take 60% of the shares?"
"Too many!" Xiao Qi patted her shoulder again and said with a smile: "Your future WeChat company can grow into a super giant with at least 100 billion US dollars. You can buy 60% of the shares for 10 billion. I
It’s really too much of an advantage.”
“Disgusting~~”
Huangfu Cai said angrily, "What's mine is not yours? What's mine and what's yours belongs to our son, isn't it? You must share this and that with me~~"
Seeing her delicate appearance, Xiao Qi's heart was filled with excitement. He reached over, kissed the beautiful girl's pink lips, and began to suck passionately.
A moment later, when the beautiful girl struggled to get away because she was almost suffocated, she saw a strand of silver hanging from her lips when they parted, and her cheeks turned even redder.
"20 billion in cash is still the same as the Weibo company. I hold 20% of the shares." Xiao Qi held her face and said: "Since you are my wife, naturally I should support it... not to mention that in the future,
Only then will you know who really suffered!"
"Don't I suffer a loss now?" Huangfu Cai rolled her eyes at him.
Hearing the hint in the beautiful girl's words, Xiao Qi giggled twice and did not ask further questions.
In fact, for Huangfucai, money is nothing at all. The reason why a girl with such a calm personality is so serious about her career is mainly because Tang Mingxiang's Chosegirl sold for 38 billion US dollars. She doesn't make a product that is at least as good as
Tang Mingxiang was a little reluctant to come to a company with a similar market value.
After the company was done well, it was natural to hand it over to Xiao Qi to manage it. She went home to take care of the children, read books on weekdays, and travel around with Xiao Qi and the children. Her life was still very comfortable.
As for the shares, is Huangfucai still afraid that Xiao Qi will corrupt them?
Just like what she just said, aren't they all their descendants?
Similarly, Xiao Qi also understood what the fairy wife was thinking.
Originally, Huangfucai was not an impatient person, but from the fact that she did not refuse the 20 billion cash investment, we knew that she chose Xiao Qi's "large-scale marketing" strategy. Wasn't it because Tang Mingxiang stimulated her?
If Xiao Qi was not involved, then Huangfu Cai would definitely be indifferent, but if his favorite and only man was involved, Huangfu Cai would never admit defeat.
From another aspect, this is also because Huangfu Cai loves Xiao Qi deeply! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
