Silicon Valley

Jim Atley watched Tian Shuai keep calling, but no one answered. So he gave him an idea and said, "Tian Shuai, isn't An Jiayi also using ICQ? Just send her a message and go there!"

"Yeah!!!" Tian Shuai's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted excitedly. He hurriedly turned on the computer, and after entering the system, he quickly started the ICQ software.

"An Jiayi, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Tian Shuai looked at the words he typed and thought about it. Could it be that the number of words is too few and not sincere?

So, he wrote a bunch of apologies, adding up to more than four or five hundred words.

Hit enter and send! ! !

Tian Shuai sent the message to see if An Jiayi would reply to her, but there was no response after waiting for a long time.

"What are you anxious about, maybe An Jiayi hasn't turned on the computer now! How could she read the apology letter you wrote?!" Jim Atley couldn't help but say when Tian Shuai was restless and anxious, " Maybe I'll get back to you tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" Tian Shuai nodded, but his eyes never left the computer.

The evening passed quickly, and Tian Shuai did not wait for An Jiayi's reply.

The next day, ICQ was officially launched, Tian Shuai and Jim Atley arrived at the company early!

Henry also came, but when he saw Tian Shuai, he found that his face was haggard, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept last night, "Tian Shuai, is it because ICQ is officially launched today, so too much? Excited, didn't fall asleep?"

Tian Shuai shook his head and said nothing.

Jim Atley gave Henry a look, and then the two walked aside, Atley told everything that happened last night.

"That's how it happened. Tian Shuai misunderstood An Jiayi and drove her away. Now An Jiayi is very angry and ignores Tian Shuai..."

Henry was silent for a while, and said, "Since An Jiayi is also using ICQ, then, like this..." Then, Henry whispered something to Lonely Atley.

Jim Atley was shocked and frowned: "Mr. Williams, is this really okay?"

"Just kidding, don't look at who I am, I'm called a saint, it's me!" Henry boasted.

Jim Atley was suspicious, "Do you want to tell Tian Shuai?"

"No need, you can do as I tell you to do it when the time comes, and you are guaranteed to do it!" Henry said to himself, "It really can't be done, I will do it myself! Uh, I mean to persuade me personally!"

"Okay...then I'll go get ready now."

"No hurry, wait until ICQ is online for a while. Hmm? Let's do it tomorrow."

"OK!"

Henry and Jim Atley walked back to the staff, everyone was ready and ready to go!

The countdown starts, 10, 9, ... 3, 2, 1, 0.

At nine o'clock in the morning, ICQ software finally officially launched! ! !

At this moment, almost the entire Internet is promoting ICQ!

A huge banner on the homepage of Global Online reads: "I-seek-you, use CIQ chat software to find friends online!"

Netscape pop-up window: "Use CIQ chat software to find her!" The background picture is a sexy girl's bumpy background... I believe most men understand this picture, so why don't you download it quickly and search for beautiful friends?

Strangers of the opposite sex are always very attractive, whether in reality or online.

In chat software, the people who most want to chat must be unfamiliar men and women of the opposite sex, and the most anticipation is the possibility of a one-night affair or something! Human nature is like this. If you don't use it, isn't it a waste? So, Henry decided to take advantage of this!

The Isearch search interface and the post bar are full of advertisements for ICQ chat software.

Nicholas Shopping Network, IMDB website, etc., and the company website under Henry's name are all vigorously promoting ICQ. Even Henry has issued an order that all employees of the company under his name must each have an ICQ account, and ICQ will be used as an online communication tool during the future work! ! !

How many employees does Henry's company have?

In fact, he didn't know either, but he knew that at least 200,000 or more!

As a result, within an hour of ICQ's launch, the number of registered users exceeded 100,000. Then the outbreak became more violent. By 12 noon, the number of registered users had exceeded 400,000! ! !

Think 400,000 is the limit? how can that be! ! !

Henry and his group have not eaten lunch, and have been observing the growth rate of registered users in the background.

At the beginning, it may have been the advertising promotion, but only after using ICQ can I know how good the software is! ! !

As a result, word of mouth rose quickly, and users who downloaded and registered ICQ immediately recommended it to their friends, and then added him as a friend. Friends of friends add friends, and the cycle is endless, so Henry and others saw the number of users soaring in the background!

In the afternoon, the growth of registered users of ICQ slowed down a bit, but there were also 30,000 to 40,000 users registered within an hour!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the number of registered users exceeded 500,000, and the number of online users exceeded 200,000!

Tian Shuai and Jim Atley were already stunned. Before, the chat software developed by Tian Shuai was promoted everywhere, but in the end there were only more than 700 people, but once they accepted the investment of Prestige Capital, with their help, The chat software was only slightly changed, and in the blink of an eye, within five hours, the number of registered users exceeded 500,000! ! !

This is really too exaggerated, too amazing, and makes Tian Shuai feel unbelievable!

At this moment, he finally felt the benefits of being organized! Taking a look at the figure standing not far away, although it is not tall, but at this moment in his heart, it is like a majestic mountain, which makes people can only look up at the mountain! ! ! !

Henry showed a faint smile at this moment.

As soon as the brother shot, it was really extraordinary!

How long did it take for the promotion of ICQ and Q~Q in the previous life to become popular? Compared with the current ICQ, will you feel ashamed?

The promotion on the Internet is not complete, but also promotion in reality!

Henry called the crowd and said: "Terminator 2 has just been released for a week, and it is already very popular at the moment. Almost all the movie theaters in the United States are queuing up to buy tickets! And Schwarzenegger was promoted to Hollywood's most expensive with this film - 15 million US dollars, Become a world-renowned movie star! So, I mean to ask him to speak for our ICQ, continue to expand the influence of ICQ, and radiate to more people!"

Tian Shuai hesitated: "Do we have the money to invite him?"

"Endorsement is not a movie, the price is much cheaper." Henry thought for a while and said, "I estimate that the endorsement fee for a year is not much, only two or three million US dollars!"

Two or three million or not? !

Tian Shuai couldn't help smacking his tongue.

Henry didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "It's not too expensive, but the effect must be very good! I have already thought about the advertising script, Schwarzenegger dressed in a cool black leather jacket, dressed as a Terminator robot, and then opened the ICQ software. , said coolly: 'The future online chat software is ICQ!!!'!"
