Chapter 950: Cross-Boundary Strike
The sudden appearance of cloud space made everything different.
Lei Jun immediately discovered that USB flash drives were not easy to sell.
Originally, there were a lot of USB flash drive orders. But after NetEase launched cloud space, USB flash drive orders dropped significantly.
After all, a 16m USB flash drive costs more than 200, which is not cheap.
Now, the cloud space launched by NetEase is 100m, free of charge.
How does this compare?
Everyone only needs to register an msn account to open 100m of cloud space for free, which can be used to store various files.
At that time, you only need to go to the place to download. How convenient this is!
Not only does it have a larger capacity than a USB flash drive, it also costs nothing and is more convenient.
After all, you still have to carry the USB flash drive with you, but there is no need to carry it with you at all.
Such convenience naturally makes consumers very clear about what to choose.
Therefore, the USB disk business is almost disappearing now.
Qin Feng also didn't expect that such an interlaced attack would come so quickly.
Originally, USB disks were very expensive, but there were many people in demand. And their profits were very high.
The cost will not exceed 50 yuan, but the selling price is more than 200 yuan. This profit margin is too high. This is also a growth point Lei Jun sees.
After all, the company was losing money so much that he would try his best to make money wherever he could.
Although Qin Feng said that there is bank support anyway, but for Lei Jun, no matter how much the bank can support, it is still money that has to be repaid and it is all borrowed money. In this case, Lei Jun cannot say that he does not care.
superior.
He really wants to make it bigger and stronger, and he doesn't have the rich assets like Qin Feng.
It can be said that for Qin Feng, the assets are extremely strong. It can be said that Qin Feng does not care much about the losses here.
But Lei Jun is different. He really cares. Once the company really goes bankrupt due to a broken capital chain, he will not be able to bear the blow.
Therefore, he tried every means to make money.
As a result, it had only been a week since Ding Sanshi's cloud space was launched, and the profits from the USB disk were almost gone.
The occasional orders are very small. The little profit is really a small profit.
This forced Lei Jun to give up this business.
"Mr. Lei, there is nothing we can do. The fish in this river never imagined that one day it would die in a car accident!" Qin Feng told a joke to appease Lei Jun.
Lei Jun was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Qin Feng, your metaphor is so apt! It's so vivid!" Lei Jun sighed, "How could the fish in this river think that one day they would be hit by a car and die?"
Qin Feng shrugged.
This is the cruel reality of China in the future.
Those who defeat you are not your peers, but those who cross boundaries.
This kind of cross-border attack is terrible.
Especially this is unconscious elimination: I eliminate you, and it has nothing to do with you.
Because, the other party does not exist to eliminate you at all, they only exist to make money. As a result, they inadvertently killed you.
The first one to bear the brunt of this is text messages.
In this "history", in the early years, text messages were very profitable.
It can be said that anyone who has experienced that era will understand what text message bombing and text message love are. Especially those who are in love, they can send text messages non-stop. They can lie in bed and send text messages for hours.
This feeling is very wonderful. As a communications company, it makes a lot of money because of this.
You know, a text message is only 0.1 cents. When you are in love, the text messages come one after another. Sometimes, there are dozens or even hundreds of messages a day.
In order to save money, basically, when sending text messages at that time, I always sent them to the maximum number of characters.
At that time, the number of words in a text message was 50. If it exceeded 50 characters, you would have to pay for two text messages. So, basically, I tried my best to write 50 characters.
In this case, dozens or hundreds of messages were sent a day, especially those with buttons. It must be said that in that era, every sound of text messages made people's hearts beat.
As for the text messages sent during the holidays, let alone the text messages sent. Basically, if one person contributes a few yuan or more than ten yuan in a group message, it will be useless.
Therefore, the three major communication companies at that time were really laughing.
But then, no one sent text messages. Why, because WeChat came out.
Communications companies never imagined that one day, it would be WeChat that would overthrow them.
From the initial daily average of 40 text messages, the monthly average was less than 40. This decline was a rapid decline.
In the end, it was reduced to notification information from some banks.
This is the first cross-border attack China has experienced.
When it comes to the second cross-border strike, more people don’t believe it.
That's a black car!
On the black car, countless cities have been rectified, but nothing can be done. Various policies have been implemented and great efforts have been spent, but as soon as you relax, the black car will come out.
As it turned out, it was the online ride-hailing company that finally overturned the illegal car.
The government didn't spend a penny, but some companies did it.
The emergence of online ride-hailing has directly caused the disappearance of black cars.
Everyone knows that black cars are not good, but sometimes, you really need a black car. After all, sometimes it is not easy to take a taxi, and there are more black cars, which is more convenient. But the emergence of online ride-hailing has directly destroyed all black cars.
No one is cracking down on illegal vehicles anymore. For the government, the illegal vehicles have disappeared and all kinds of chaos have disappeared. This is naturally a good thing.
This kind of cross-border attack is completely irresistible to one side.
Just like what Qin Feng is experiencing now.
USB disks are profitable, and they have no rivals for the time being. But in the end, they were killed by Ding Sanshi’s Cloud Space.
Moreover, he worked so hard that there was no room for him to fight back.
You don't have any competitiveness at all. You can only sigh in admiration.
"We must launch cloud space as soon as possible." Qin Feng said.
The technical department nodded.
"This is not technically difficult. It's just that it will increase our costs!" said the technical director.
Qin Feng nodded.
Qin Feng also understands the technology in this area. Naturally, he understands that the increased cost is not a small amount.
After all, if you want to provide cloud space to everyone, it will increase the consumption of server storage space. There is also the consumption of bandwidth.
These are huge.
Ding Sanshi is supported by Microsoft.
After all, Microsoft, after being reminded by Intel and Qin Feng's achievements, is also interested in trying the Internet. If Microsoft wants to do any project, it will first invest hundreds of millions of dollars and see how it goes.
.
For other small companies, a few hundred million dollars is an astronomical figure. But for Microsoft, this amount of money is nothing.
For a company with a current market value of more than 200 billion US dollars, this amount of money is really nothing.
If you succeed, it is an unexpected surprise. If you fail, it is reasonable.
