Chapter 187 I am seeking benefits for my family!

"One of your small goals? One hundred million?"

When everyone heard this, they all criticized it in their hearts.

They all doubt whether there are 100 million smartphones in the country.

Looking at Yang Xiao's young and serious face, it is hard to imagine that such awesome words would come out of his mouth.

The key is that they were all a little excited after hearing it.

But Yang Xiao was not joking.

Because in 2011 alone, the domestic smartphone shipments were only 0.97 million, which indeed did not even reach a small goal.

In 2012 alone, it more than doubled compared to the previous year!

It reached a terrifying 2.24 million!
The most conservative estimate of smartphone users in the past two years is 200 million!

Yang Xiao plans to ask half of the people to install WIFI master keys. Is that too much?

This is all for the benefit of the family!
I treated this as a great thing, but was met with doubts from my employees.

Is the basic trust between people gone?
Although everyone in front of me didn't believe it.

However, Yang Xiao knew that with the rogue function of the WIFI Master Key, he was confident that he could do it!

As one of the most shameless apps.

Everyone here, who are you looking down on?
Although Guo Haiping just described the principle of the WIFI master key in such a harsh way.

But in fact, he was right!
By 2024, perhaps this software has already become unpopular and gradually faded from people’s memory.

But there are still many people who don’t know the true working principle of WIFI Master Key from the beginning to the end.

I thought this software was just to help users crack the passwords of nearby hotspots.

In fact, they are all totally wrong!
Because everyone was misled by the word "key" in the name of this APP.

To be precise, this APP should actually be called "WIFI sharing software".

This name is intentionally confusing by the developers!

After all, no one wants their home WIFI password to be shared.

This software nominally follows the principle of "users voluntarily share passwords".

But in reality, it's stealing!

Because in the beginning, when people were using smartphones, who would care about these details and rogue terms?

[Do you want to allow XXX to obtain fuzzy location? ]

[Do you allow XXX to obtain your root privileges? ]

Before downloading any APP, a lot of authorization notifications like this will pop up.

but!

These are all totally unnecessary questions!
Because as long as the user does not allow it, even normal use will be affected!
So many users have suffered this loss!

Then many newbies who are new to smartphones don’t know how to re-authorize in the settings.

I had no choice but to uninstall and then reinstall.

Therefore, most ordinary people have developed a habit. Generally, when they download a new APP and want to use it, they just need to click permission without thinking!
Only with permission can it be used normally!
From this aspect.

WIFI Master Key, with its unfair terms, does have the suspicion of stealing users' personal privacy.

Because once it is not allowed, you will never be able to connect to nearby WIFI.

But in China, let’s not talk about privacy.

As long as there are real benefits, many users don't care at all.

In later generations, many people can get free toys and eggs by simply scanning the QR code to register for an APP on the street, and there are still a lot of people scanning.

In fact, this is a disguised form of selling personal privacy.

Of course, there are some sober and knowledgeable people who know the rogue nature of this APP.

But ordinary people can’t afford the high data traffic fees!
It’s all forced by the operators!

It's so damn good at sucking blood!
Moreover, once the traffic exceeds the limit, it will be charged by megabyte. If you are not careful and use a few hundred megabytes over the limit, it will cost you hundreds of dollars!
Everyone feels sorry for it!
How many naughty kids have fallen into such a trap and been beaten by their parents?

Unlike later generations, when the storage capacity exceeds 1GB, the price is automatically converted to RMB 1 per 3GB.

Without that respectable leader, there would be no proposal for operators to increase speed and reduce fees.

Nowadays, everyone has to worry about the data usage, so they often turn off the data switch or watch ads while connected to WiFi.

Well. In remembrance of the past.

Of course, nowadays, it is precisely this harsh environment that provides the soil for the survival of WIFI Master Key.

This is also one of the reasons for its rapid rise.

After all, it is known as the gospel of the new generation of losers and a tool for free Internet access.

Since it came out, we often see young people holding their mobile phones, squatting in corners or corridors to download videos.

In fact, I just used the WIFI Master Key APP.

As long as you are patient enough, there is WIFI everywhere.

"Okay, I have even fulfilled my duties as a product manager. The rest is up to you technical professionals. I need to see a usable internal version within a month."

"One month? That's impossible!"

Hearing this, Huang Zhengfei and the other five people present felt a great pressure. They looked at Yang Xiao with frowns, somewhat speechless.

What boss Huang Shiren?

Even if they work 24 hours a day, they still can't do such a thing!

However, they are all experienced programmers, and each of them is a master. If you don't consider details such as the aesthetics of the interface, you can actually finish it in a month if you grit your teeth.

But from what Yang Xiao said, it was obvious that what he wanted was a finished version that could be close to being launched.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao asked, "How long do you think it will take?"

"It will take at least two months. After all, user experience, interaction, database integration, and backend construction all require a lot of time and manpower." "No, you guys have to recruit people for me quickly. You have to shorten the time to one and a half months."

Looking at Yang Xiao's serious expression, Huang Zhengfei did not dare to be negligent.

He said to Fei Jie who was standing beside him, "Since the boss has said so, then don't go to the campus recruitment at Shenzhen University in the next few days! Just contact Aqiang and the others and ask if they are willing to switch jobs here, and we will start poaching them!"

"Campus recruitment? Are you, such a small studio, qualified to recruit people from Shenzhen University?"

Hearing this, Huang Zhengfei said a little embarrassedly: "I used to have some connections in the student union, so I set up a small stall there temporarily. But since you have said it, I will naturally fulfill your request as quickly as possible."

"How about this, you guys keep poaching people from the same industry for me, and don't stop recruiting on campus. I'll help you recruit tomorrow."

"You're going?"

"With your two million, it's only twelve million. You don't think this money will last for a long time, do you? The later maintenance will definitely require an expansion in scale. Are you going to keep poaching people from the same industry with high salaries? It's graduation season now, how can you not take the opportunity to recruit some cheap graduates?"

"Besides, recruiting is easy. I can tell his ability by looking at his internship experience and award-winning experience. What's more, you may not be as good as me in judging people."

Yang Xiao chuckled, isn't it just recruiting some graduates who need internships or are preparing to find jobs?
He can't grasp this?
Although Yang Xiao is an outsider, he also knows that after an APP is made, it will take some time before it is officially launched.

During this period, various BUGs need to be tested and fixed.

His plan is that before WiFi Master Key is officially launched, he must spend money to find people to promote it and fill the database in advance!

This step also takes time!
At the same time, it is also the beginning of real money burning!
It is necessary to spend money to find a group of specialized internal testers from all over the country to help collect and obtain a batch of hot spot data offline.

The best way is to first obtain hot spot information of most public places in the country.

Once the database is filled to a usable level, it is time for it to be officially launched.

Otherwise, the first batch of users won’t be able to use this thing at all.

All I can do is call him a jerk!
Yang Xiao’s current plan is to officially launch WIFI Master Key on major app stores before the National Day.

That will be the time when all major universities start their new semester.

It is also conducive to the online promotion of the APP, and it is not impossible for the number of users to grow exponentially.

It's almost July now.

All in all, there are only three months left.

This is the case when production, internal testing and promotion go smoothly and no unexpected events occur.

Time is indeed tight!
But there is no other way, Yang Xiao must race against time.

Now with the 1200 million from Zhao Wanlin and Huang Zhengfei’s team, it is not enough to burn!

Because, even after the product is launched, money is needed for marketing.

Channels, search engine bidding, content, branding and user operations are all expenses!
What's more, Yang Xiao's goal is to have 100 million users a year.

Although in the early stage, he was able to promote it quickly with his influence on the Internet and personal resources.

But achieving this goal is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

A lot of money must be spent on promotion in the early stage!
By then, he will have more than 20 million in his hands, and he will be ready to inject capital at any time.

It will be fine as long as we can hold on until some advertisers move in and it reaches the profit stage.

Of course, there is actually another reason why Yang Xiao took on the task of recruiting new employees.

Because he is planning to apply for Shenzhen University when he takes the college entrance examination in a few days.

Just think of it as getting familiar with the school in advance.

"Boss, since this product is a tool for connecting to WIFI, how can we make a profit? Users will do other things after connecting to WIFI, right?"

Zhang Yue, who was present, listened for a long time and finally understood the working principle of the software. She couldn't help but ask a rather ignorant question.

"Sister Yue, of course it's advertising."

Fei Jie stepped forward and explained, "This software is so practical. As long as the user base increases, we only need to embed advertisements on the APP interface. Advertisers will definitely be willing to pay a high price."

Yang Xiao nodded at this time.

Feijie is right. WIFI Master Key can actually make a lot of money just from advertising fees!

Later generations of WIFI Master Key users have a love-hate relationship with him.

Some even joked that it was the best advertising software.

Well, 99% of it is advertising, and 1% is the function of connecting to WIFI.

If Yang Xiao had been more decisive.

You can totally come up with some tricks.

For example, if you know the WIFI password, you can deliberately make the user fail to connect.

Then, watching ads can increase the chances of successful connection.

Watch for 15 seconds and it increases to 60%.

Watch for 30 seconds and it increases to 99%.

Watch for 60 seconds and it increases to 100%.

Because WIFI has become a necessity for everyone!

No matter how many advertisements there are or how much people criticize you, you still have to hold your nose and watch it to the end.

It will definitely make users feel like they are in heaven.

It makes people feel like "you have to finish the sex you arranged even if you cry."

But no matter what, since he has decided to make this software, Yang Xiao must put his heart into making it good, big and strong.

It would be best if everyone could install this great software on their mobile phones!

Finally, he tapped the whiteboard again and looked at Huang Zhengfei's team:
"Also, I have already thought of the slogan for this app. Please help me put it in the introduction and the opening screen."

"——Free Internet access anytime, anywhere!"

　Please give me monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and rewards.

　　Thanks again to [Chuan who is gradually losing the ability to express himself] and [Mao Xiaoxia] for their tips~
