Chapter 885: The Server Crashed

Now is the era of short videos, Yang Chen specially registered a Douyin account to accumulate fans before.

The so-called, nourishing fans for a thousand days is used for a while.

Now is the time to use them.

Yang Chen took out his phone and turned on the Douyin live broadcast.

Boss Yang started broadcasting, and the employees in the operation department must be sensible, so they should quickly promote him on the whole platform.

The first video that users who just turned on Douyin must be Yang Chen's live video.

Users who are watching videos will definitely see Yang Chen live broadcast within three videos.

Those fans who followed Yang Chen directly received pop-up windows and SMS notifications.

In just five minutes, the audience in Yang Chen's live broadcast room exceeded 100 million.

This directly crashed the server.

Yang Chen stared at the black screen for a while, then called Zhang Yiming.

Although Yang Chen is now Douyin's controlling shareholder, he hasn't changed anything. Zhang Yiming is still the chairman and CEO.

Although Zhang Yiming has always been unconvinced, he can't change the reality now.

Yang Chen has actually controlled Douyin, he can only accept everything now.

Zhang Yiming: "Boss Yang, is there something wrong?"

Yang Chen: "I'm live broadcasting. I was very stuck at the beginning, and then the screen went black, and it didn't work after logging in again several times. Help me ask the staff in the technical department what's going on."

Zhang Yiming: "Are there many people in your studio?"

Yang Chen: "It's okay, I don't have as many fans as I actually have. I have 200 million fans, but there are only 150 million in the live broadcast room."

Zhang Yiming was confused, and quickly replied: "Boss Yang, do you still think 150 million is a small number of people? You have completely crashed our server. I will call and ask, and I will reply to you later."

Yang Chen: "That's fine, thank you, Mr. Zhang."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yiming quickly called the person in charge of the technical department to ask how the situation was going.

Zhang Yiming was sure that the server had crashed, so he didn't need to ask why, just asked if the problem was solved.

According to the previous assumption, no matter who started the broadcast, it would be the best if the number of real-time online users exceeded 10 million.

But who would have thought that Yang Chen's broadcast would have more than 100 million viewers watching at the same time.

Now the technical department is urgently expanding the capacity of the server, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten minutes to complete.

After Zhang Yiming knew the situation, he called Yang Chen.

"Boss Yang, the technical department is expanding the capacity of the server, and it will take more than ten minutes. Please wait for a while." Zhang Yiming said.

Yang Chen doesn't know much about these professional and technical things, but he respects the opinions of professionals.

"Okay, then I'll wait for a while. When it's done, send me a message to let me know. Is that okay?" Yang Chen replied.

Zhang Yiming: "Okay, wait a minute, I will send you a message as soon as possible."

The server crashed, and other anchors couldn't start broadcasting.

If the broadcast cannot start, they will send a video to explain to the fans, and ask what is going on by the way.

The Douyin official has received many messages from anchors asking why it can't start broadcasting.

Afterwards, Douyin posted an announcement on Weibo and Douyin's official account.

There are still a lot of words, but it can be summed up in one paragraph.

"Because more than 150 million fans watched Yang Chen's live broadcast, the server was unable to handle the traffic and crashed. The technical department is already upgrading and expanding the server, and it will definitely return to normal within half an hour."

Seeing that Yang Chen's live broadcast had more than 150 million viewers, it made those anchors who made their living from live broadcast envious.

"Boss Yang is Boss Yang. The number of fans is really enviable. Not to mention the 150 million viewers in the live broadcast room, my total number of fans can reach 150 million. I have to thank my ancestors for their smoke."

"My God, 150 million people are watching online at the same time, that's what Boss Yang can do. If the server doesn't crash, the data will definitely be even more exaggerated."

"Don't think I don't know. People who watched his live broadcast must have followed him to buy stocks. They must want to ask him whether those stocks can go up."

...

Ten minutes later, Zhang Yiming sent a message to Yang Chen, informing him that the live broadcast was ready.

Yang Chen quickly turned on Douyin's live broadcast, and soon the number of viewers in the live broadcast room exceeded 100 million.

Yang Chen felt that this number of people was almost enough, so he hurriedly said: "Don't get on people, don't get on people, this number is enough. Sigh... I really want the operation to limit the flow for me. Otherwise, the number of people waiting for the meeting will be too large. Too much, and the server crashed again."

The barrage in the live broadcast room.

"Hey... Boss Yang is pretending to be aggressive, no one can beat him."

"If your words are heard by those Internet celebrity anchors, they will be so angry. They have to spend a lot of money to buy DOU + promotion to get traffic, and you actually want to be restricted because the traffic is too high. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Wow, I have to buy traffic to promote it every time before the broadcast, otherwise there are too few people in the live broadcast room, and I can't sell the goods. You actually want to be restricted because of too much traffic, are you still human when you say this ?”

"Some people rack their brains to get traffic, and some people rack their brains to reduce traffic. This is the difference between people."

"Kneeling to tease Dad

Dad gave me some of the traffic Boss Yang didn't want. I have been broadcasting for more than two months, and now there are still more than a dozen people in the live broadcast room every day, and I can't hold on anymore. "

...

Seeing the barrage in the live broadcast room complaining about himself, Yang Chen said with a smile: "Of course I also want more traffic, the better. But I'm not worried that the server will crash again. It doesn't matter if I can't broadcast at that time, after all, I don't rely on this for a living But many people who rely on live streaming will be affected. I don’t want to affect the anchors of the entire platform because of my personal reasons. Okay, let’s not talk about this. Today is the official launch day of our Xingchen car. I mainly want to share with you Fans, please share the situation at the Haicheng experience store. Look, there are still quite a lot of people.”

Yang Chen gave some shots of the scene.

Barrage.

"Congratulations, congratulations, you are more reliable than Boss Jia and Boss Xu. They build cars on the rooftop PPT. Year after year, they have harvested crops of leeks. Until now, they have not seen a car. You have never seen a car. It only took two years from the investment to the official mass production and sales, which is still very fast.”

"Boss Yang is a practical person, and he is determined to promote Daxia manufacturing. Those two goods are purely for harvesting leeks. After the domestic harvest is over, they go abroad to harvest. One crop after another. Ten years have passed, and they still have not been able to produce in China. Saw their car on the street."

"Are there so many people? Could it be the babysitters you hired? I don't believe that so many people are interested in new energy vehicles. In my opinion, it is still the world of fuel vehicles. They only drive in urban areas. Okay, once you run long distances at high speed, electric vehicles are not comparable to gasoline vehicles. This is a fact, and you are not objective if you don’t admit it.”

"Boss Yang is treating us as fools? You don't really think we will believe that these are people who want to buy a car?"

...

The purpose of Yang Chen's broadcast is to let people who don't know, and those who don't have time to experience the store, know about Xingchen cars.

Therefore, when someone in the live broadcast room asked questions, or even complained, Yang Chen was not angry, but rather happy.

Because they raised questions, Yang Chen was able to answer them accordingly, so that everyone could better understand Xingchen Motors.

The audience questioned how many people were babysitters, so explain it to them.

"Did you see those three words? Experience store. Our model is different from the traditional 4S store model. You can understand this as an experience store for mobile phones and other electronic products. Come here to play casually, and you don't need to buy it. After the experience If you feel satisfied in all aspects, you can choose to buy or not to buy. Therefore, these customers are not babysitters, but real customers who are waiting to test drive and experience our XC-1. You go to the Apple mobile phone store to experience, and the clerk will force you to Are you going to buy it? No. Are they going to stop you from trying the product? Neither. Do you understand what that means?"

The audience was instantly interested.

"Apple dares to use the experience store model because their products are really good. Customers feel good after experiencing it, and they all want to buy it. It is nothing more than the difference between being able to afford it and not being able to afford it. If the quality of your car is not Satisfying everyone, you are looking for death if you play like this.”

"As expected of Boss Yang, there is too much money to spend, but it can be built vigorously. The Apple experience store is only a little bigger, and it doesn't need too many employees, and the operating cost is not high. For such a big store like yours, there are several floors upstairs and downstairs. The land area is also large, and there are so many employees. If your car is not of good quality, and there are too few customers buying it, the rent and labor alone are enough to make you drink a pot."

"You're not doing business, you're clearly doing charity, donating rent to landlords, salaries to employees, and a way to pass the time to people who have nothing to do. In the future, when you have nothing to do, go to your experience store for a test drive. Anyway, you don’t need to buy it.”

...

From everyone's comments, we can analyze a truth, that is, everyone generally believes that only high-quality products can play the experience store.

If the quality is not strong enough and customers are not very satisfied after the experience, they will not consider Star Auto directly.

In this way, not only will the experience store not be able to play a role in promotion, but it will also mess up the brand image and reputation of Xingchen Automobile.

However, the quality of the Xingchen car is exactly where Yang Chen is most confident.

If it is to compete for soft power such as brand persuasion, Star Auto is really inferior to Tesla, BYD and other brands.

But just to compare the overall quality of the cars, Yang Chen is confident that he can beat all brands.

"Come on, let me show you the driving experience of Xingchen XC-1." Yang Chen said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Yang Chen left in his own XC-1.

While driving, Yang Chen told everyone about the main selling points of the car.

There are four main selling points of XC-1.

First, it is comparable to the appearance of a supercar.

Second, strong battery life.

Third, automatic driving + automatic braking.

Fourth, paid battery replacement service.

In order to avoid everyone's misunderstanding, Yang Chen deliberately explained the paid battery replacement service.

All car owners who have purchased a star car can join the star car membership for free.

Members enjoy the shortest service of changing batteries once a week and three times a month.

Car owners only need to pay for electricity and do not charge any other fees.

And the electricity fee is charged according to the civilian electricity standard.

The main purpose of this service is to solve the current difficulty in charging electric vehicles.

Calculated according to the standard of 800 kilometers of battery life, if it is just a normal commute, the available quota of 100 kilometers a day is enough.

When the remaining power is less than 20%, the owner can go to the nearest experience store or service store to replace the battery.

In this way, even in old communities without charging piles, consumers can rest assured to buy Xingchen XC-1.

Because there is no charging trouble, they only need to solve the parking problem.

If you buy an electric car of another brand, you may need to replace the battery after a few years of use, and it costs tens of thousands to replace a battery.

For the owners of Xingchen cars, this cost is saved.

As long as the car is not scrapped, they can always use the battery in good condition and only pay the electricity bill.

After hearing Yang Chen's explanation, the fans immediately became excited.

"If it works like this, I really want to buy one. The biggest disadvantage of electric cars is battery life and charging. Boss Yang has solved both of these problems now. Electric cars are indeed more delicious."

"If he operates in this way, then the price of 580,000 and 680,000 does not seem to be expensive."

"But doesn't this mean that my car may use old batteries? If I sell the car in the future, will people not accept it because the batteries are old, or lower the price?"

...

Yang Chen explained: "The national service standard of Xingchen Automobile is unified, even if you sell it to someone else, as long as the procedures are legal, he can still enjoy the battery replacement service. Therefore, there is no difference between new batteries and old batteries. We will strictly control the loss of batteries. Batteries with battery life less than 60% will be scrapped directly and will not be put into the market for customers. Let’s put it this way, we have considered all the issues that everyone can consider in advance, and will

And a targeted solution is given. Therefore, you only need to consider whether our service is satisfactory, and you do not need to consider feasibility. Come, let me show you the autopilot function of the car. "

Yang Chen immediately turned on the automatic driving function, and then his hands left the steering wheel.

Yang Chen took over the phone, and took the first-person view for everyone to see.

"Everyone pay attention to the speed of the car. Autopilot is not cruise control. The two are very different. Our autopilot function will choose the appropriate speed according to the road conditions. You see, the speed slowed down after passing the zebra crossing. Someone ran a red light. The car braked automatically. Well, let’s show everyone the automatic braking function. Isn’t it very hanging?”

Looking at the performance of the car and listening to Yang Chen's explanation, the more than 100 million viewers in the live broadcast room became excited.

If the autopilot and autobrake of Xingchen XC-1 are so smart, doesn't it mean that even people who don't know how to drive can drive out as long as they understand how to set these functions?

The car moved on.

There was a school ahead, and when it was 100 meters away from the school gate, the speed of the car dropped significantly.

Even though it was class time and there was no one in front of the school, the car slowed down reluctantly.

After passing the campus gate for 100 meters, the speed quickly picked up again.

Yang Chen put the phone back, and said with a smile: "How is it? Our automatic driving function is very good, right? Some fans said that people who can't drive can also drive our car. Uh, what do you say? Theoretically yes This is the case, but we definitely don’t encourage this kind of behavior. I always think that technologies such as automatic driving and automatic braking can only be used as auxiliary functions, not as main functions. If you can’t drive, you don’t have a driver’s license. Without a driver’s license, you can’t drive on the road. It can only be said that the technology is not good, especially for some lesbians, who often use the brake as the accelerator and the accelerator as the brake. Our car can indeed solve their problems. Now I will show you the automatic braking function.”

After finishing speaking, Yang Chen canceled the automatic driving mode, and then drove directly into a big tree by the side of the road...
