Becoming the richest man starts with making complaints

Young people are always brave enough to try things out, but within a week, almost everyone on the university campus has downloaded the "Smile Smile" photo app. And it’s not just on mobile phones, it’s also installed on computers.

Newcomers to society, with their beautiful employment ID photos, left campus and joined the company, officially starting their career as a social worker.

Corporate HR will always send an all-in-one email, "Welcome new employees to join the XX family."

This is the first official appearance of a new employee in front of all colleagues. It usually comes with a simple personal introduction, including academic qualifications, experience, hobbies, etc., and of course a photo is attached so that everyone can look familiar. ".

At the moment, what other photos can be compared to those produced by "A Little Smile"? Photos need to be torn apart!

So all kinds of energetic guys and pretty girls appeared in the mail.

"Oh, this new generation is so good-looking!"

When the old lady felt threatened, she also seriously appreciated the little fresh meat.

The old man silently wrote down his contact information. As for the new colleagues, we need to find opportunities to get to know each other so that the newcomers can feel the warmth of the company and the care from their seniors.

The old lady first carefully noticed that there was a slight difference between the photo and the real person, and then quickly got to know the sisters and obtained the magic weapon of beautiful photos, "a slight smile".

The older brother quickly recognized the new one among his colleagues. Oh, it's not bad. Although there is a slight difference, whose photos are not retouched.

The girl is very young, but she just came out of society and still doesn’t know how to dress up. If she puts on makeup and dresses nicely, she will look just like in the photo.

Come on, this old man is almost boring, not as handsome as me. If I want to take this kind of photo, it will definitely look better than him. What did I use to take it? Give me one!

So, it didn’t take long for “Smile” to spread out of the circle.

And the growth rate is getting faster and faster. On July 10th, there were only 6 million users. By July 15th, it had grown to 20 million users. On July 20th, there were 50 million users.

Cao Shen has been monitoring background data to calculate the consumption of mobile phone storage from the actions of users taking and saving photos.

Nowadays, most of the ROM storage of feature phones is 512M, and the higher-end ones are 2G.

As for smart phones, mid- to high-end ones have 4G capacity.

The photos taken with "Smile Smile" are deliberately not compressed. According to the pixels of the mobile phone, the maximum size of each photo is about 1M to 3M.

Of course, the ID photo is just the starting point for "smiling", there are also many beautifications and filters for other characters.

Of course, a user's mobile phone takes up more space than just photos, and the capacity of today's mobile phones is not large. Soon, users found that their phones began to freeze and there were too many photos...

The current concept of cloud computing is very popular, but the products are not good. There are a few domestic products with mixed concepts, but basically they can only be used for storage, and the computing is simply broken, and there is no way to run actual business.

But there is no way, the investment in cloud computing is huge, and the blood must be recovered.

So, with a slap on the head, everyone started personal cloud storage one after another.

The price on the market, the annual fee for 1T of domestic cloud storage is about 50 yuan. Of course, the upload and download speed of this kind of ordinary cloud disk is limited. If you want high speed, you have to pay extra, usually double the price.

The Peach Company is even more ruthless. The annual fee for 1T per year is 400 yuan.

Mr. Cao has always been concerned about the needs of users and served the people.

On July 24th, free personal cloud storage service was directly released!

As long as you download and register "Smile", you can get a 1T personal cloud disk for free, and the free period is one year. In the second year, the renewal price is 20 yuan per T capacity.

Moreover, this 1T cloud disk can not only store pictures taken and processed by "Wei Wei Yi Smile", but any other content can be uploaded through the "Personal Cloud Disk" function of the new version of "Wei Wei Yi Smile".

The original users of "Smile a Little Smile" felt relieved immediately. They were worried that they had too many photos on their phones and they couldn't bear to delete them.

And users who haven’t downloaded it have started to do so. It’s free, so don’t be a fool! At least fifty yuan a year for nothing!

Originally, in this day and age, personal network disks were not strictly necessary. However, the "Smile" picture application makes everyone feel that the mobile phone storage is not enough, and it seems that it is quite convenient to have a network disk to store photos.

In addition, I got 1T for free, so I immediately put everything I could put in my computer into it, especially classic movies and classic short movies. These are my important savings over the years, so they must be stored properly!

The current mentality of users towards free online disks is a bit like eating at a buffet, and they cannot let merchants take advantage of them. So I eat everything, especially expensive ones, even though many things are not what I usually like.

As a result, on the day Tongcao Technology’s personal network disk was released, the number of downloads of “A Smile” immediately exploded. It has topped the list of major app stores.

At the same time, a large amount of messy storage content also flooded into the system. With such a huge amount of data, it would be a waste for other companies' cloud disks not to charge for it, but the system will compress it.

After compressing and compressing with all my strength, the original size of the file was compressed to a size of 1000:1 under the power of the system. In other words, the cost of building a personal network disk for Cao Shen can be one thousandth of that of others. Of course, with the system in place, it is zero cost for him.

However, of course, the real situation cannot be seen by users. What they see is the size of the original data.

Besides, the renewal rate for things like network disks is very high. Users have finally uploaded their treasures. If they don’t renew the subscription the next year, will they download them from the network disk to their computers again? Moreover, twenty yuan a year is acceptable.

Therefore, Cao Shen earns users, fame and money.

As of July 25, the cumulative number of users of this "Smile Smile" has reached nearly 90 million, and it has maintained a daily increase of 600,000 downloads across all channels.

The whole operation simply made other competitors who were engaged in network disk very angry. It was really, really bullying!

We have been working on the product for a year and a half, and last year we spent more than half a year spending crazy money on the market to educate users about the market.

Finally, users know what a personal network disk is, it is safer and more convenient, and they have accepted the use of this product. We all celebrated, we all popped the champagne, thinking we would make money this year.

As a result, you jumped out and said it was free! We planted all the trees, but you knocked all the peaches away!

Even if your first year is free, we can’t afford it because you are awesome, but we still have to give you some soup.

As a result, your renewal fee only costs twenty yuan! Have you ever calculated the cost? Hey, you lost twenty yuan of blood and lost your pants!

No, we must deal with him!

Where is the data center of Tongcao Technology? Where is the server? Go investigate him!

You make so much money, do you pay taxes? Has it been audited?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. No matter how fierce the price war between these network disks was in the past, now they have united together to snipe Cao Shen to death!
