QQ was extremely popular within the company as soon as it was launched.

In particular, the QQ group function greatly facilitates communication among team members, significantly improves work efficiency, and promotes paperless office practices in the company.

After a week of testing, many people gave QQ a perfect rating, and some also offered excellent suggestions.

...

"Based on everyone's suggestions, let's improve QQ and then release it!" Zhao Ye thought for a moment and then said, "I think we should set the release date for August 1st!"

“Okay, Chairman Zhao!” Lu Cangran, the person in charge of QQ, nodded in response.

Zhao Ye then explained some precautions and talked with Lü Cangran about QQ's future development direction and how QQ could monetize itself!

Zhao Ye felt that QQ had absolutely no need to raise funds; once QQ achieved monetization, the effect would be absolutely terrifying!

Actually, whether QQ monetizes or not isn't a big deal, since Wujiang Group has other internet companies that have basically already captured all the market share they could, such as portal websites, games, search engines, e-commerce, etc.

However, instant messaging software is definitely a trump card. If we don't master it, it will threaten Wujiang Group's position in the Internet field.

Of course, there are also free security software, such as 360, which once seized a large share of the market for browsers, navigation websites, and search engines, and even dared to launch the 3Q War, directly facing the challenge from Tencent!

Soon, it was August 1st.

Prior to this, QQ already had a certain level of brand recognition in the industry. Many people knew about QQ through employees of Wujiang Group. Regarding this software, everyone was kicking themselves, wondering why they hadn't thought of developing their own instant messaging software. As for how to monetize instant messaging software, well... is that a question that internet companies should be thinking about?

8 PM on August 1st.

QQ has officially launched.

Upon the software's launch, "Wujiang Software Store" immediately promoted QQ on its homepage.

It's important to know that all computers with the HarmonyOS operating system installed have the "Wujiang Software Store" on their interface, and the vast majority of users have developed the habit of searching for and downloading software through the "Wujiang Software Store".

There are at least 50 million users of the HarmonyOS operating system, not including users of pirated operating systems.

In addition, Tenglong Internet Cafe updated its system and uniformly downloaded QQ.

Many internet cafes also use the Tenglong Internet Cafe System, so naturally they all downloaded QQ as well.

In addition, Amazon launched a 20 yuan shopping coupon to promote QQ.

That is, registering a QQ account will get you a 20 yuan shopping coupon.

The products on Amazon's website are currently sold and operated by Amazon itself, just like a supermarket. They buy the products and sell them themselves, so they can issue shopping coupons at will.

Moreover, promoting Amazon can be more profitable than promoting Taobao.

Therefore, when promoting QQ this time, we partnered with Amazon.

Although 20 yuan is not much, it will still attract many people.

To prevent people from profiting by registering QQ accounts, the 20 yuan shopping coupon can only be obtained by binding an ID card.

Of course, some people will use other people's ID cards to register QQ accounts, but that's okay. Shopping vouchers cannot be given away, and they can only be used when spending more than 50 yuan.

In this way, Wujiang Group will not lose money from running the event.

At the same time, QQ has also become the built-in chat software on Amazon, Alibaba and Taobao websites, making it easier for consumers to communicate with merchants.

Internet Explorer will recommend QQ to users as soon as they open it.

The homepage of the Wujiang portal website features QQ as its featured news item.

QQ is ubiquitous across the internet!

Zhao Ye practically mobilized the entire internet to promote QQ.

As for the results?!

Midnight.

Zhao Ye was still awake when Lü Cangran called, excitedly shouting, "Chairman Zhao, QQ is a hit! Within four hours of its launch, it surpassed 10 million registered users worldwide, with a peak of 2.54 million concurrent users!!!"

Users who have just downloaded QQ are full of novelty, so many people explore QQ's features in the evenings, having a great time and spending a lot of time online.

Zhao Ye was shocked when he heard Lü Cangran's words, but then he thought that QQ, as the world's first instant messaging software, was very attractive in itself, and secondly, QQ's publicity and promotion were extremely effective.

Therefore, it's no surprise that QQ became so popular.

"Hmm, not bad!" Zhao Ye praised, then told Lü Cangran and the others to go back and get some rest. "President Lü, you've worked hard. Let everyone go back to sleep and rest. There's no need for you to stay in the company and keep staring at the data in the backend."

Lu Cangran laughed and said, "Chairman Zhao, how can they sleep now? Seeing the number of QQ registrations is so high, they are all too excited to fall asleep!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but shake his head and smile. If he were just an ordinary QQ developer, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep either...

"Alright, since everyone's having trouble sleeping, why don't you order some late-night snacks for everyone?" Zhao Ye said with a smile.

After explaining, the conversation ended.

Although Zhao Ye was just as excited as Lü Cangran and the others, he still needed to sleep...

Staying up late is bad for your health!

In the following days, word of mouth spread about QQ, and more and more users downloaded or registered for it.
