In the conference room, using new channels to sink and fight a war in a way that Yu Bi had not expected made everyone still digest the excitement. Cheng Ran said to Zhao Qing, "Fulong's Internet access network is in a good situation in various places now. We can rely on this. When Fulong builds the AT backbone network, we can match high and low, negotiate with the local telecommunications department, and reach an agreement to use their broadband. Broadband network can give players a better gaming experience."
If Cheng Ran's previous thinking could be said to have opened everyone's minds and solved a payment problem that would have troubled many Internet companies in the future in an unusual way, then Cheng Ran's next point made them feel that their brains were starting to get confused and they could not keep up with his jumping rhythm.
The country has vigorously developed the Internet. In fact, this year, the construction of broadband backbone networks has been launched. Cities have successively carried out pilot projects. Chengdu is one of the first pilot cities. In July this year, the first batch of broadband ADSL network users were connected to the network. Of course, due to the high cost of Internet access, ordinary family users still cannot afford it, but some users who are not short of money have already experienced the power of the new technology. The majority of people who have access to ADSL broadband networks in Chengdu are still Internet cafes.
Cheng Ran was no stranger to this. The second floor of Tianxingdaoguan was one of the first merchants on the list of households with broadband access in the Sichuan Provincial Post and Telecommunications Administration. Of course, this also brought more booming business to the second floor. The bandwidth of Tianxingdaoguan is 8, and the average download speed is 700k. Ordinary broadband users use 512k, and the download speed can also make people who have experienced the dial-up era cry.
Therefore, Cheng Ran has always believed that Chengdu has a strong Internet foundation, and it has an inherent advantage to move from here to the beginning of China's Internet. Chengdu is not only one of the first cities to enter broadband, not after Zhonghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, but also the relationship between Chengdu's postal and telecommunications management department and Fulong is very deep. Liu Dongshan, the director of Chengdu Telecommunications Bureau, stood out in the national postal and telecommunications system competition because of Fulong's backbone network construction and Fulong's 201 phone card. As a result, Fulong has established a deep relationship with the local postal and telecommunications administration.
"ADSL can indeed achieve faster Internet speeds, but its installation cost is also very high, and ordinary users cannot afford it." Chen Yuzhong frowned.
Cheng Ran nodded, "It was true at the beginning, but with the entry of backbone network builders such as Fulong and the expansion of the overall scale, the cost will drop rapidly, and broadband networks will definitely become the mainstream in the future. Secondly, after the construction of broadband, the lack of content will also become a major problem. Telecom operators will also hope to join hands with us to popularize and expand broadband users. Then the operator only needs to provide us with a dedicated line, and we can promote it to the outside world. Broadband users who use this line to connect to Q games do not need a point card. Broadband usage is charged according to traffic, so the traffic fees generated by the corresponding users using this line to play our games can be shared with the telecom operators. I believe it will be difficult for operators to refuse."
This is indeed the case. In the following few years, China began to fully enter the broadband Internet era, but the lack of content was a common problem, which was also the reason why the number of broadband users was not high at one time.
The lack of content to a certain extent limited the popularity of broadband in China at that time. In a period when there were no video websites and no various new and cutting-edge content to attract users, what exactly popularized broadband in China
The answer is online games.
The rise of online games is actually the process of broadband networks becoming popular and broadband operators searching for content.
After discovering this content breakthrough, many broadband operators began to cooperate with game manufacturers. That’s why the legendary Chen Tianqiao could easily exchange a contract for a two-month free trial of China Telecom broadband. That’s because China Telecom was also looking for broadband content users. Broadband was not easy to promote at the time. If you try in the future, you may be kicked out.
At this time, Cheng Ran was still talking along with his thoughts, and he didn't notice that the people present were all thinking about his words in a nearly sculpture-like state, trying to keep up with his pace.
"In fact, we can already discuss this. We will catch up with Fulong and discuss cooperation with the backbone network telecom parties in various places. I estimate that the use of broadband network will be split 70% and 30%. Telecom will not budge on this point. They will take 70% and we will take 30%. But this channel fee is worth it. I would rather give it to Telecom than to Yu Bi who doesn't understand his own situation!"
"Well, what...?" After Cheng Ran finished speaking, he turned around and saw that everyone in the meeting room had strange expressions, so he asked casually.
Li Mingshi opened his mouth, then sighed and said, "You are simply... I can't offend you."
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement. Cheng Ran still remembered that Yu Bi asked him for a 70:30 split. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was still vindictive and vindictive. Yu Bi had overstepped the boundaries, and Cheng Ran's countermeasures were amphibious. He deployed channels to Internet cafes, solved cash flow problems, and opened up online sales. Advanced models were born one by one.
He was still not satisfied and planned to directly use his father's connections to integrate the channel with the telecommunications department.
This is simply the rhythm of space warfare.
Yu Bi is just deploying troops, with cavalry charging and breaking down the gates, infantry advancing and archers shooting from both wings. You are directly opening up a space battlefield. How can they play
"Then you can go home and talk to Mr. Cheng about this matter. It might be easier to talk about it." Zhao Qing nodded, but his brain was still in an overheated state. "This method is simply... beautiful."
"If the future layout of broadband networks can really be faster, then the biggest problem that is restricting and bothering us now, the internet speed issue, can be solved," Xu Ye said excitedly.
The current Q Lingyu game is actually divided into three modes: "simple", "standard" and "perfect". The "perfect" version of the Lingyu game is naturally used for broadband users in the first batch of large cities that opened broadband pilots, while the "simple" version is for dial-up users, who are basically home users. Because of the slow network speed, the Lingyu game adopts a "simple" interface, which is to reduce most of the graphics loading and use text supplemented with some images in the UD mode, with the goal of being able to log in to the game.
The second is the "standard" mode, which is aimed at Internet cafes that generally use ISDN networks. ISDN was the upgrade method of narrowband Internet access to ODE Internet access at the time. ODE Internet access is 56k, while ISDN network can reach 64-128k, but the cost is also higher than ODE. Most Internet users think it is a pity to replace 56k ODE with ISDN, because although it is free to upgrade ordinary telephone lines to ISDN, it still costs an additional one thousand to two thousand yuan to purchase the corresponding ISDN Internet access equipment.
The upgrading and application of technology always come from competition. ISDN technology was widely popularized in Internet cafes of all sizes all over the country. At that time, the upgraded Internet cafes would inevitably put up signs saying "ISDN high-speed surfing! ISDN new experience!" and other similar slogans to attract customers.
Many people have computers at home, but they still go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet. On the one hand, it is because dial-up charges at home are expensive, and on the other hand, it is because the speed in Internet cafes is faster.
This is also the reason why Cheng Ran wants to expand the channel to Internet cafes.
Because this is the main battlefield of the Spirit Realm game and where the main player group is located.
