Chapter 954 Losing Money and Making a Profit

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [ ] Fastest update! No ads!

Qin Feng's soft article "Cloud Hard Drive User Guide" undoubtedly opens a new world for everyone.

"Damn, I've been worrying about what to do with too many games and no place to use them! Now it's better." A player said excitedly.

"Yeah, there are a lot of MP3s, too. I don't have enough space. Now it's better!" said a music lover.

"There is also room for my little movie now!" said an action movie enthusiast from an island country.

.....

Under the guidance of this user guide, everyone finally understands how to use such a huge cloud space.

Not to mention, this time, a lot of hard drive space is freed up. You can install frequently used games and software.

This means that everyone’s hard drive space will suddenly increase.

And much bigger.

"Mr. Qin, the average cloud hard disk ratio now accounts for more than 30%. We have spent more than 30 million to purchase hard disks, and more people are using it. If this continues, our costs will be too high. "The financial director came over to report.

This is not only the cost of buying hard drives, but also the usual maintenance, electricity bills, server expenses, etc., which are all a large amount of money.

For now, this is not profitable.

It's absolutely free.

This has no ability to be monetized at all.

Now we have to spend more than 20 million yuan in additional maintenance every month. This cost is too high.

This is money!

Of course, don’t be afraid of spending money. But if you can’t make money by spending money, there is nothing you can do.

"Here, this is a small intelligent screening program I just wrote!" Qin Feng said, "The technical department will load it into the cloud space."

The function of this small program is very simple and single. Just one thing, automatically identify the file types uploaded by netizens. If they are the same, they will be deleted by default after they are uploaded.

In this way, a large degree of waste of space can be avoided.

For many users, large files are basically similar. Only some personal files are different. As for personal files, it can be said that they take up very little space and will not cause any financial burden to the company at all.

In this way, economic costs can be saved a lot.

And, from a technical perspective, it's not difficult.

Just a very simple filtering mechanism. This is also the most commonly used technology in all cloud spaces in later generations. When you upload many files, they will be uploaded successfully instantly because there are already similar ones in the cyberspace.

Therefore, you do not need to transfer additionally.

As for whether errors will be detected, accidental deletions are different. This is not impossible. For example, if a file is more than 90% identical but slightly different, it may be accidentally deleted.

However, the odds are slim.

Because during the selection, the manufacturing date, modification date, and file size of the source file will be compared.

Only files with exactly the same size and similar dates will be deleted.

After all, any small change will cause changes in file size.

Even if 1 byte changes, the file will be retained and will not be deleted.

Therefore, this technology can reduce the company's operating costs as much as possible.

"Then how do we make money?" the financial director asked.

The financial department, no matter what the technology, they only care about profitability.

After all, if a company wants to survive, it cannot just burn money without making money.

Even if you need to burn money like crazy now, you still need to have a profit plan.

If there is no hope of profit at all, then the Finance Department must stop it, or at least raise objections. As for whether it is finally passed, it depends on the CEO's decision.

"There is no way to make money from ordinary players. Except for a little advertising revenue." Qin Feng said.

Advertising revenue? The Finance Department frowned.

Advertising revenue is really not that big.

At least the advertising revenue brought by cloud space cannot make up for its investment and operation and maintenance costs.

Of course, if it can attract a lot of popularity and maintain the company's overall operating income, that is also feasible.

For example, if you shut down the cloud space, will the loss of benefits be greater than maintaining the cloud space? If the loss of benefits is greater, then keep it. Otherwise, it cannot be retained.

This is an account.

"The future is a cloud world!" Qin Fengxiao said, "Of course, this also requires progress in many other aspects. For example, big data and AI intelligence!"

Cloud computing, big data, and AI intelligence are the three pillars of the future Internet economy.

Any company that masters these three, even if it only masters one of them, can bring huge and generous profits.

At this stage, it is indeed not profitable. However, the merit lies in the present time and the benefit lies in the future.

However, Qin Feng didn't say much. Some things didn't need too much explanation. If you talk too much, it will be easily leaked. As long as the core people know.

This company belongs to Qin Feng, Jiang Yong and several others and is not controlled by any capital. So, they can do whatever they want.

The remaining departments are responsible and have the right to question, but they must obey orders.

Otherwise, get out of here!

"Haha, I just said I was right!" Wang Zhidong laughed.

Before this, when Ding Sanshi published that soft article, he received some criticism. After all, he is closely following Qin Feng. In Ding Sanshi's soft article, he seems to be particularly uninformed and stupid.

But now, Qin Feng's soft article has undoubtedly proved his wisdom.

Perhaps he is not forward-looking on some things, but he has a vision for people.

What's his name? This is called having no tricks to win but having tricks to win.

He doesn't know what it is for, or what its use is. But he only needs to know that Qin Feng has a vision. He can just follow Qin Feng. Of course it's no different.

No, Ding Sanshi kept 1000M unchanged. As a result, many people opened it on QQ. Of course, many people have opened his ICQ.

As a result, Ding Sanshi was the first to launch Cloud Space, but not many people used it.

Do you think this is embarrassing?

Feel aggrieved or not!

The more he thought about it, the happier Wang Zhidong became. Now, he's not at the bottom, is he?

Now he still has Ding Sanshi at the bottom, which is very satisfying.

Of course, he also had unhappy things. That’s because the monetization ability of “Need for Speed” is too weak.

Although many players also spent money to buy gold coins to upgrade their cars. But there are too few people spending money. At present, it has been in operation for a month and the total revenue is only over 1 million.

This amount of money is not enough for servers, bandwidth usage, employee salaries and other expenses.

This money is too little.

All I can say is, lose money and make money.

After all, ICQ's popularity can be maintained at around one million, which is already very good.

This also makes AOL and Boss Jiang very satisfied.

This is the only relief.
