0175. Gmail promotion can't go the Skrpe route
{Time: November 11, 2002}
{Location: Special Administrative Region}
Several days have passed since the beginning of winter on November 11, but the weather in the Special Administrative Region has not become cooler. It is still sultry and hot. Meng Qiqi feels that she cannot stay in this house. She simply stands at the door and enjoys the weather.
Brings a cool breeze to the body.
Meng Qiqi regretted that she was so obsessed with taking over this home decoration design, which meant that she would inevitably have to keep an eye on it from the beginning, just like helping him decorate his office.
But there is no way, who can let me take advantage of others? Moreover, the money they give is higher than the industry standard, and it is enough for me to squander for a while!
And after just looking around, the simple decoration provided by Qianhai Huating seems to be quite reasonable, so there are not many places that need to be modified. Most of the requirements he asked for only need to be added. Therefore, the entire decoration is not
It takes too much time. As long as you organize yourself properly, the decoration can be completed in about 6 days. After leaving it vacant for about 4 days, you can move in.
However, Meng Qiqi felt very depressed when she thought that he also asked for the second largest room to be made into a very unique princess room.
Why is sister Junya's life so good, with a brother who loves her so much? But while she is living abroad, in addition to taking care of herself, she also has to occasionally support her unfulfilled younger brother at home!
Speaking of which, my younger brother is a careless person. He spent a lot of money in three years of college. Not only did his parents give him enough money every month, but he occasionally asked for 12,000 yuan for living expenses.
We should really let our parents and younger brother come here to see that he already has his own company at the age of 19. If his worried younger brother could work half as hard as someone else, he wouldn't be in such a dead state today.
The more Meng Qiqi thought about it, the angrier she became, and it took her a long time to calm down her unhappiness.
But when she finally started thinking about decoration, the sound of high heels from the corridor kept hitting her heartstrings.
Although Meng Qiqi is a woman, she has her own views on the beautiful woman Meng Qiqi. A voice with such graceful steps is usually a woman with temperament.
Meng Qiqi turned around curiously, and at a glance she saw a woman who not only had an outstanding temperament, but also had a charming charm in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which even attracted her to herself as a woman.
Darling, I'm afraid this isn't a goblin!
By the way,
that guy,
Is it because,
This goblin,
Did you just come here to buy a house?
…
Ah sneeze~~ah sneeze~~ Ning Zimo sneezed twice in a row, almost shaking his brain.
"There is a big temperature difference between day and night during the winter solstice, so you still have to pay attention, sir." Tang Ruiwen said this as she handed over the coffee and then went out.
Ning Zimo just nodded without raising his head, so it was impossible to notice the strange look in Chen Li's eyes when he was sitting opposite him.
Chen Li watched Tang Ruiwen disappear outside the door, then secretly looked at Ning Zimo, and found that there was no gossip. Chen Li was puzzled. Their foxmail team had moved to Emperor Penguin for some time, but this young man
The boss seems to have no spare time except work.
Busy from sunrise to sunset,
He is young and so handsome.
It seems a bit wasted?
Chen Li was taking a break when Ning Zimo pointed at the screen and suddenly spoke, drawing her attention back.
"I think the refreshless plug-in has performed very well so far, and the mailbox function is even better," Ning Zimo pointed at the Gmail internal interface and said with a smile to Zhang Xiaolong, "I asked you why there has been no movement recently.
It turns out that I was holding it back until the end, and then came up with a surprise for me!"
Zhang Xiaolong smiled honestly, and did not forget to shrug and tease, "You have been very busy these days, especially when you put so much energy into launching the new version of skrpe, so we don't want to disturb you, so everyone secretly ran away from the Gmail beta testing work.
It’s over.”
"Master, can we discuss it?" Chen Li on the side couldn't wait to take over the conversation, "You said that all the functions are excellent, so let's let gmail go online in advance to do the inside!"
She raised her face with an expectant look, which looked like Crayon Shin-chan in Ning Zimo's eyes. Although her starry eyes were very shining, Ning Zimo still shook his head.
"It's okay to learn from Wang Ziqi, and now there are a lot of Crayon Shin-chan among the girls in our company."
In one sentence, Chen Li was described as an angry bun. Ning Zimo then turned to look at Zhang Xiaolong, "I have made complete arrangements for the launch of gmail. When the time comes, our team will provide technical support."
"I've been waiting for your words!" Zhang Xiaolong stood up excitedly, took out his cigarette from his bag and waved it, "Walk to the rooftop?"
Chen Li couldn't help but roll her eyes. Recently, she kept hearing male colleagues around her mention "walking on the rooftop", and it felt like it was almost becoming a secret code for communication among male colleagues.
Unexpectedly, this is what happened?
***+***
There were a few smoking emperor penguins scattered on the rooftop. When they saw Ning Zimo and the others coming up, they just smiled and did not disturb them.
Ning Zimo took Zhang Xiaolong, lit a cigarette and lay down on the railing facing the direction of Hong Kong Province, and then said, "Jennifer, do you remember?"
"Remember, that beautiful American-Russian girl, last time you introduced her to be responsible for two projects: [Blog] and [Project Celebrity]."
"Well, to be precise, she is responsible for the series of [Blog], and he is responsible for the [Celebrity Project]. So this time [gmail] goes online, it will be the first time that she brings her team to cooperate with your gmail promotion
when."
"Don't we use the same promotion method as skrpe? I think skrpe's promotion method is very good. It has 8 million users in more than 3 months." Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile when he spoke: "We at gmail have already heard the name just by listening to it.
determine its dominance.
Gmail and Gmail are all mailbox products with g as the unit of measurement! Nowadays, the huge hotmail is only 2m, and the dumb tiger mailbox is only 4m. Our gmail has the same capacity unit as theirs, which is a hotmail mailbox.
The capacity is 512 times that of Yahu mailbox, which is 256 times that of Yahu mailbox.
In terms of capacity, our Gmail is enough to kill all email products on the market. According to skrpe’s same promotion method, will we win 10 million users in three months?”
"I don't know if we can win 1,000,000 users. I only know that when the number of users exceeds 1,000,000 within one year, our company will probably go bankrupt!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaolong took a puff of smoke in a leisurely manner, he was choked and coughed by Ning Zimo's words next to him.
When he regained his breath and looked at Ning Zimo, he saw that the young boss next to him had a serious expression.
Without looking at Zhang Xiaolong, Ning Zimo had a cigarette in his mouth, but his voice was very clear, "No one will build Gmail based on an application like us.
The Hotmail and Yahu mailboxes you just mentioned were completed in the mid-1990s. They were written in simple HTML language, and the interface response speed was extremely slow. Almost all user operations required reloading the entire web page, so the user experience was simply impossible.
It is comparable to the quick response of windows or mac programs.
And what about you? In order to implement the application-level product of Gmail mailbox on the web page, we use highly interactive JavaScript code, thereby avoiding the limitations of the HTML language.
In order to make users feel that Gmail is more like a software, you have even specially studied the jQuery framework based on JavaScript to implement Ajax and achieve application-level refresh-free. Do you know how ahead of the times this asynchronous JavaScript and XML technology is?"
Zhang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment after hearing what the boss said. He didn't quite understand. How could this involve the company's bankruptcy?
Ning Zimo glanced at Zhang Xiaolong, knowing that he didn't fully understand what he meant, so he explained.
"Email is an Internet product that has a larger user base than instant messaging software in European and American countries. It can be said that because of its large capacity, new technology, and fast speed, our Gmail will definitely be invincible from the beginning when it is launched on the market.
But just because it is a product that is beyond the times, as long as we open up the supply, gmail will even be faster than skrpe, and in a shorter period of time, it will become a star-level Internet product that is popular in Omi continent.
But you can understand the consequences of this situation if you think about it carefully. If it happens really soon, we definitely don’t have that many servers and bandwidth resources to handle the crazy influx of users.”
Zhang Xiaolong nodded involuntarily, but he always vaguely felt that there was something wrong with what Ning Zimo said.
In Zhang Xiaolong's view, traditional mailbox products do not use Ajax technology, so if the page content needs to be updated, the tedious action of reloading the entire web page must be performed. This is indeed an important reason that affects the user experience of traditional mailboxes.
Asynchronous javascript and xml (asynchronous javascript and xml), referred to as ajax, is a technology used to create fast dynamic web pages.
Gmail using this technology uses Ajax technology to exchange a small amount of data with the server in the background, so that the web page can be updated asynchronously, which means that certain parts of the web page can be updated without reloading the entire web page.
This technology was applied around 1998. This component originally belonged to the giant exchange server and quickly became part of inter explorer 4.0. But this time Gmail really applied this technology to web pages to implement application-level products.
the forerunner.
Regarding the technology of Gmail, Zhang Xiaolong feels that what the boss said is absolutely correct. Gmail must be a product ahead of its time.
However, in terms of server and bandwidth costs, isn’t this how the account is calculated?
Zhang Xiaolong frowned when he thought of this, "Master, the marginal cost of our gmail is not high. To provide gmail services for 10 people, and to provide gmail services for 1,000 people, there is almost no need to add any additional equipment or manpower...
…”
After Zhang Xiaolong finished speaking, he turned his head. As a result, he saw Ning Zimo looking at him teasingly.
Damn,
Just look at the expression,
Zhang Xiaolong knew,
I am being played.
It's right to think about it. How could the shrewd boss not understand what he just thought about?
Ning Zimo raised his eyebrows at Zhang Xiaolong and said with a smile, "Whether our gmail is leading in technology or capacity, these things are too frivolous. After all, it is not like skrpe, which is a product that needs time to be launched online.
Therefore, the promotion plan that Jennifer and I confirmed this time is a relatively unique way. It will not allow you to gain many customers in the short term, but it will definitely lay a good foundation for you, and then in the next one or two years
, let your gmail become the product that people are most looking forward to!"
Chapter completed!
