Chapter 950 Cross-Border Attack
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 orders for USB flash drives. But when NetEase launched cloud space, U disk 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 point, all you need to do is go somewhere to download. How convenient!
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 how to choose.
Therefore, the U disk business is almost disappearing now.
Qin Feng also didn't expect that such an interlaced attack would come so quickly.
Originally, although U disks were very expensive, there were many people who wanted them. And its profits are 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 is losing too much, and he will try his best to make money wherever he can.
Although Qin Feng said that there is bank support anyway, but for Lei Jun, no matter how much the bank can support him, it is still money that has to be repaid, and it is all borrowed money. In this case, it is impossible for Lei Jun to say that he doesn't care about it.
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, his assets are extremely strong. It can be said that Qin Feng doesn't care much about the losses here.
But Lei Jun is different. He really cares. Once the company really goes bankrupt because of a broken capital chain,
He won't be able to take this blow.
Therefore, he worked hard to try various ways to make money.
As a result, only a week after Ding Sanshi’s cloud space was launched, the profits from the USB flash drive were almost gone.
The occasional orders are small. That 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 damn appropriate! 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, I accidentally killed you.
The first one to bear the brunt of this is text messaging.
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 is and what text message love is. Especially those who are in love, they send text messages non-stop. I can lie in bed and text 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 we were in love, the text messages came one after another. Sometimes, there are dozens or even hundreds of messages a day.
In order to save money, basically, when I sent text messages, I always sent them to the full word limit.
At that time, the number of words in a text message was 50. If you exceed 50 characters, you will be charged for two text messages. Therefore, I basically tried my best to write 50 words.
In this case, dozens or hundreds of text messages were sent a day, especially those with buttons. It must be said that in that era, every text message sound made people's hearts beat.
As for the holidays, let alone the text messages sent. Basically, if a random person contributes a few yuan or more than a dozen yuan under a mass distribution, it will be settled.
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 average of 40 text messages per day, the average number of text messages per month was less than 40. This kind of decline is 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 train, countless cities were rectified, but nothing could be done. Various policies have been implemented and a lot of effort has been spent, but as soon as you relax, black cars 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 a black car is not good, but sometimes, you really need a black car. After all, sometimes it is difficult to take a taxi, and there are more black taxis, which is more convenient. But the emergence of online ride-hailing has directly wiped out all black cars.
No one is illegally driving anymore. For the government, the black cars disappeared and all kinds of chaos 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.
U disks are profitable and have no rivals for the time being. But in the end, he was directly killed by Ding Sanshi's Yun Space.
Moreover, he did it so hard that there was no room for him to fight back.
You have no competitiveness at all. I can only sigh with excitement.
"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 this technology. Naturally, I understand that this 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. Also, regarding bandwidth consumption.
These are huge.
Ding Sanshi is supported by Microsoft.
After all, Microsoft, with Intel's reminder and Qin Feng's achievements, made it interested in trying the Internet. If Microsoft wants to do any project, it will first spend hundreds of millions of dollars on it and see how it goes.
For other small companies, a few hundred million dollars is an astronomical figure. But for Microsoft, this little 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.
Success is a pleasant surprise. It is reasonable to fail.
Investment is never successful every time.
