Chapter 871 (1/2)
America on the other side of the ocean.
Magic software from China has blown a very special whirlwind. This whirlwind is almost static in the world of ordinary people. But in Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Washington and Seattle, this whirlwind has swept almost every high-tech company.
YY, the ”instant messaging software” regarded by the American elite as a magic weapon to improve work efficiency, is spreading among the elite in a special way.
Almost every company in Silicon Valley has begun to use YY as a necessary tool for work, to chat in groups at any time, to publish and share information and documents at any time, and to transfer various documents to partners at any time.
YY's online, offline transmission and breakpoint continuous transmission functions have brought great benefits to it practitioners for the file transmission of hundreds of megabytes at any time. Before that, no software can realize this safe and effective file transmission form. The online transmission of large files can only be transmitted through the online mode, and once there is a problem in the network, the disconnection will be repeated;
The offline transmission of large files is even more a huge difficulty. At this stage, almost all email attachments have strict size restrictions. Email service providers must control the size of attachments to reduce the pressure of server transmission and storage. Some enterprises can build their own enterprise mailbox servers. Fortunately, those who do not have this ability can only compress files into multiple compressed packages The user receives all the compressed packets and decompresses them in a unified way to get the large files that the other party wants to transmit.
Now, you can use YY to directly transfer large files offline to your target users. Although the daily transfer volume is limited, this has essentially solved this demand. If you need more offline file transfer and longer server retention time, you only need to buy YY members to achieve this.
Top up members not only have larger offline file transfer, but also form more and larger groups, so for these elites, YY members are the cheapest and most cost-effective value-added services in the Internet industry.
10 yuan a month, about $1.2 in membership fees, it seems that the elite of the United States is cheap enough to be appalling. But the biggest problem is that they do not have Alipay, even Alipay, and no Chinese bank card. Even if they do not care about such a little money, there is no way to buy YY membership service for the time being.
can't recharge members, which can be a great help to the American elite who have actual business needs. Chinese are relatively easy to solve. Chinese people are most convenient. They basically have Alipay in everyone's hands. Even if they are not Chinese, they can buy YY members at least once a year through their relatives and friends, but these foreign Chinese and Chinese Cathay countries are not very good. People are in trouble. In order to solve this demand, they can only find Chinese help everywhere.
However, not everyone has Chinese friends. Those who can't find their way are really in a hurry.
The group is not enough! What should I do? Fucking, sign up for another vest? This is not very good, because different accounts are easy to confuse partners and cause trouble to each other.
This strong demand suddenly appeared. Almost immediately, Chinese in the United States realized this business opportunity, and immediately opened a shop on eBay to fill YY members for users in the United States and around the world. The original YY members of about $1.2 a month sold for about $2 on eBay, with a price difference of 66%, but even so, they still failed to block the enthusiasm of these overseas users.
In less than 48 hours, Li Mu received an amazing data feedback. The download volume of YY in the United States exceeded 500000, and the registered users exceeded 800000, of which, the number of members even exceeded 70%!
What really shocked Li Mu was 70% of the members!
, you know, in China, the overall proportion of YY members has just reached 10%, which is realized by the huge convenience of Alipay users. But far from the US, they can not buy YY members. What is the reason that they can reach 70% membership? It's incredible!
Li Mu, who made people search the purchase records, found that many of the 70% members were Alipay accounts, and recharged members for thousands or even tens of thousands of YY numbers. This is obviously against the common sense!
Once again, Li found out the interest chain of eBay's acting members!
Of the nearly 600000 overseas members, at least 400000 are sold through eBay. Moreover, the average purchase time of each user's member is 6.5 months, that is to say, the average member number spent about 13 dollars to recharge YY members, with a total amount of 5.2 million US dollars! Among them, eBay shopkeepers who fill the membership of YY on behalf of the Chinese have brought more than $2 million in revenue!
It can be seen that the enthusiasm of overseas elite users for YY is beyond Li Mu's imagination!
When Li Mu was surprised by the popularity of YY among the American elite, Sequoia Capital in Silicon Valley didn't realize the power of YY.
Eric.Hanks He is a senior VP and board member of Sequoia. Recently, he has been looking for a suitable Internet start-up company in the United States. In the ten years since joining Sequoia, he has invested in more than 100 start-ups and the proportion of project profits has reached more than 80%.At this point, Eric.Hanks Looking through the business plans of some start-ups in the mailbox, he is particularly interested in several follow-up start-ups, so he is not clear about the popularity of YY in Silicon Valley.
It's not just him, the whole Sequoia headquarters still don't know about the popularity of YY in other companies around us, because for the big shots of Sequoia Capital headquarters, they really focus on the world-class Internet companies in Silicon Valley and the projects they are incubating.
However, these tycoons are not interested in the pastoral technology far away in China. They just put forward tasks to Huaxia Sequoia according to the sharp sense of capital, and ask them to reach a financing agreement with the current legitimate red company as soon as possible. That's all. As for the company's origin, it's up to the team of Huaxia Sequoia to know.
