0171. Let the bullet fly

{Time: November 5, 2002}

{Location: Special Administrative Region}

Probably because he was thinking about the reaction after the new version of skrpe was launched, Ning Zimo got up earlier than usual today.

But from 9 a.m. yesterday to 9 a.m. today, it was a full 24 hours, so Ning Zimo was not busy turning on the computer, but suppressed his excitement and did 8 different groups of strength exercises at home.

.

After washing up, Ning Zimo put on his bag and prepared to go out.

Wangcai and Xiaoqiang stood by and watched curiously while Ning Zimo was doing exercise. When he went in and out of the bathroom, they followed him eagerly.

When he saw him put on his backpack, the two little ones immediately came up to him excitedly and wagging their tails.

"Hey, you two little smarties, you knew I was going out and you came together?" Ning Zimo grabbed the heads of the two little ones and ravaged them. Who said they were too smart?

Just as he was about to put a rope on the two little ones, Ning Zimo suddenly felt a "murderous aura" coming from behind him.

"Getting ready to go out so early? How can you do it without even eating!"

When his mother Zheng Yawen's voice came from behind, Ning Zimo instantly remembered her nagging when she went home last night.

Ning Zimo turned around with lingering fear and said with a flattering smile, "Mom, I can just go out and buy some breakfast."

"That's alright, you wait at home, I'll go out and buy some breakfast." After Zheng Yawen said that, he turned around and walked out the door, leaving Ning Zimo looking blankly at his father who had just walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing her father shrugging at her, Ning Zimo helplessly ignored the action he had learned from her, and smiled bitterly, "Dad, what's the difference between my mother going out to buy something and me going out to buy it myself?"

"Maybe you will spend more time eating at home."

"Dad, you are so busy with your relationship that you have cheated your son? Have you cared too little about my mother recently?"

"What can I do? Our business is growing so fast now. As a chief engineer, can't I bring my team to work together?"

"Dad, whatever you think of it, I'm going to buy a house outside so that I won't be criticized every night when I come home late. It will also allow my mother to slowly get used to my independent life in the future."

Ning Zimo sat helplessly at the table, completely unaware of the hint of worry in his father Ning Guoping's eyes.

A breakfast lasted 30 minutes, which was considered a warm moment in Hannan. But when Ning Zimo was eating at home in the past few days, Ning Zimo always felt that the room was filled with strange emotions.

But he has so many things to think about recently that he has no time to think about these trivial family matters, because busy people and people who are too idle have different concerns.

To my mother, eating is a big deal, but to me, eating is a trivial matter.

Could it be that the business of the hot pot restaurant has been bad recently, so he has become a punching bag?

e=(o`*)))Alas

Ning Zimo hurriedly took advantage of her mother's time to pack her things and go to the kitchen, grabbed her backpack, picked up the two little ones, and ran away.

After catching a taxi and driving all the way to the downstairs of the company in less than 15 minutes, Ning Zimo suddenly remembered when he led the two little ones out of the car and walked to the elevator.

It was only 8 o'clock in the morning, and there was no one in the company. How could he get in?

I was stunned and thought for a moment,

I always feel that these days,

Something isn't quite right.

But I don’t know what’s going on,

It really makes people bald!

"Hey, Master, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get in if you come so early?"

When the crisp voice came to his mind, Ning Ziqi, who was holding her long hair in melancholy, turned around and saw Wang Ziqi with a smile on her face.

The sun shone from behind her, and it was a bit dazzling when reflected from the key raised in her hand. The smile on her lips was obviously teasing him for being such a hands-off shopkeeper who couldn't even enter his company.

go.

Ning Zimo smiled sarcastically, raised his chin and said, "When I went out today, I looked at the sky and counted on my fingers that someone would come to open the door for me today. If not, you just come."

The expression on Wang Ziqi's face changed, and she suddenly bent over with laughter.

"Hahahaha~~Master~~~When did you~~~ become a magic stick~~~Hahahaha~~"

Seeing Wang Ziqi laughing like a fool, Ning Zimo suddenly felt that the vague discomfort of the past two days was gone.

"Da Dangjia, our team has recently had several customers place orders through skrpe, and one customer took the initiative after receiving our business card."

"Of course, technology changes life. Now your customer service development is not limited to the previous forms. There will be more and better methods in the future."

"Well, precisely because of the proper application of various software, our treasure-digging trade is growing relatively quickly in the industry."

"Hey~~are you raising your tail now?"

"No way, I just think that if our company continues to develop like this, the future prospects will be very good!"

"Hey~~When we first lobbied you to join, were you still doubtful?"

"~~~~"

"Emmmm, it seems that my persuasiveness is not as good as our second boss."

Ning Zimo smiled and shook his head, while squatting down to release the rope for the two little dogs. The two dogs immediately ran out like wild horses, galloping freely in the Emperor Penguin office.

"Let's do something!" Ning Zimo opened his arms and shouted as he saw the two hairy balls running freely.

For some reason, Wang Ziqi always felt that today's leader was a little strange.

It has finally been 24 hours since the new version of skrpe was launched, and the results achieved are much better than Ning Zimo expected yesterday.

350,000 new users were added in a single day, and the number of paid users increased by 5,000 within one day after the new version was launched. Most of them are multinational users, and the average amount they purchase voice packages is as high as 59 US dollars.

Cooperating with telecom operators is the right move, and it is much better than skrpe in the previous life!

I would also like to thank myself for bravely defining practical scenarios for free and paid projects when I first started planning the skrpe project and then pushing them to the market together.

Speaking of which, there is not much difference between paid and free skrpe. The free version is close to the call quality of a telephone, while the call quality of the paid version exceeds the sound quality of a telephone call.

For most wooden ears, there is not much difference in the calls between the two.

And everyone can use it for free. In comparison, the paid version of skrpe is more like a useless thing.

But this is just like why there must be mineral water equivalent to coffee at the checkout counter of Starbucks coffee. Ning Zimo wants to give users a hint that that bottle of mineral water must have its value.

Sure enough, although the difference between paid and free skrpe is not big, 1/200 users still spent an average of 9 US dollars for trial use.

This $9 is the minimum monthly consumption of paid users set by myself, allowing customers who are willing to try it to cross the threshold of paid consumption. In the end, some people here will definitely make the experience a habit after crossing the payment threshold. Moving on.

After the new version of skrpe was launched, the function of computer-to-computer interconnection has become another driver of payment.

No matter how many free users are added now, there are already a total of 4.50,000 paying users, which has suddenly raised the average monthly consumption of paying people to 14.5 US dollars.

Although it is not profitable yet after excluding the 40% share given to operators, the increase in paid users yesterday alone brought skrpe's monthly revenue to US$65.5 million.

What does this situation mean? It means that the inertial thinking of using free experience to cultivate the habit of paying users is nonsense in Europe!

It’s the Europeans who have misunderstood free software!

In the previous life, skrpe took the wrong route from the beginning, talking about free software. As a result, some conscious paying people were able to directly support the founder's initial settings.

Then when skrpe needed money to operate, they thought of the commercial paid user model.

However, charging inherently conflicts with payment, and users’ usage habits are also cultivated to be free.

This means that when they want to exit the new profit model, the inertia of the market has prevented them from making much money, and they have become a typical example of standing up and failing.

After all, Oumi Market is not a flower market. Since people have consumption habits, why should we give up these customers?

Ning Zimo cried out for the skrpe team in his previous life in his heart, but he was secretly happy for his wise decision.

If skrpe continues to develop according to the current situation, not to mention opening up computer and telephone interoperability in more countries. The current users in a dozen European countries alone can make skrpe profitable this month.

Unexpectedly, I just sounded the alarm with the team yesterday, and today I see a new sky.

emmmmm, this is a slap in the face.

piapiapia,

Pain is pain,
Chapter completed!
