Chapter 222 Amazing

Seeing the concierge and An Rushong walking in from outside, the young man stood up with a smile and cast an inquiring look at him.

An Rushong first smiled at the young man, then took the initiative to bow to him. Then he turned his head and said a few words to Luo Minzhi who followed him in. He asked Luo Minzhi to go out and find a place to eat something and come back after the banquet here was over.

He waited until Luo Minzhi and the guide left before walking towards the young man's seat.

The young man's appearance was quite outstanding, but a little feminine, giving people a rather effeminate feeling. Of course, this was just An Rushong's impression when he first saw him.

"Is this Chairman An from NGN?" As he walked towards the young man, the other party also took a few steps forward and spoke first, "I am Yu Zhenzhong from the STS Communications Business Support Office."

When this guy spoke to An Rushong, he used honorifics very appropriately. Not only that, when he walked close to An Rushong, he bowed and extended his hand.

What is the STS Communications Management Support Office?

An Rushong's mind was working rapidly. He knew that STS Communications was a subsidiary of Samsung Life. Considering that Samsung Life was a subsidiary of Samsung Group, STS Communications was actually a third-party subsidiary of Samsung Group.

It would be fine if this Yu Zhenzhong was the chairman of STS Communications, but from his self-introduction, it was clear that this guy was not the chairman of the company, or even the president, but just the director of each department of the company.

My goodness, why is he here at this lunch today?
Although he thought so in his heart, An Rusong did not show it on his face. On the contrary, he behaved very politely and appropriately. While shaking hands with the other party, he smiled and said, "I am An Rusong. It is my honor to meet Director Yu here."

When the other party introduced himself, he did not say that he was the director of the STS Communications Business Support Office, but in An Rushong's opinion, it would be too unreasonable if the other party was not even a director of such an office.

Sure enough, the other party did not correct his statement, but smiled and said: "No, no, no, it is my honor to meet President An. To be honest, I am a fan of President An and a loyal user of NGN software."

He held An Rusong's hand tightly and said quickly, "I heard that NGN has received funding from Apple. I would like to ask, will NGN software be embedded in the Apple system and become one of the mobile programs that can run on Apple phones?"

After hearing what the other party said, An Rushong believed that he was really a user of NGN software. At least, he paid enough attention to the development of NGN company. Otherwise, he would not have asked Apple to provide financing to NGN. He thought that NGN software might launch a mobile version that could be implanted in the Apple system.

In An Rusong's development plan for NGN software, launching a mobile NGN compatible with Apple's system has always been one of the key development directions of NGN companies. Of course, in addition to mobile terminals compatible with Apple's system, there are also mobile terminals compatible with Android's system. As for Symbian and Blackberry, An Rusong has not considered them yet.

Long before NGN promoted the first round of financing, An Rushong included those Russian programmers in the same project team. One of their main tasks was to develop the mobile terminal.

In fact, such strategic issues involving the company's future development should be considered company privacy, but An Rushong has no intention of hiding this issue. After all, anyone with a little business acumen can guess it by themselves, just like Yu Zhenzhong.

"This is one of the company's next key development projects and directions," An Rushong readily admitted in response to Yu Zhenzhong's question.

"Ha, I've been looking forward to this for too long," Yu Zhenzhong clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on the palm of his left hand, saying excitedly, "For this, I even bought an Apple phone specifically."

As he said this, he pulled out a mobile phone from his pocket, waved it in front of An Rusong's eyes, and said with a smile, "I really like the photo wall function integrated into NGN. It is simply a genius design. It is so perfect, so practical, and so crazy! I believe that no young person in the world can resist its charm."

"Director Yu, you are too kind," An Rushong said modestly.

"No, no, no," Yu Zhenzhong said seriously, "This is not an exaggeration, Chairman An. I believe that NGN software will definitely surpass MSN and ICQ in the future and become the world's largest and most widely used instant messaging software. Yes, I firmly believe in this. If NGN company plans to go public one day, please let me know in advance, and I will invest in it."

An Rushong felt very happy in the face of the other party's praise. Just when he was about to say a few more humble words, footsteps were heard from the direction of the restaurant entrance.

He subconsciously looked back and was shocked to find Nan Xuyu walking in from outside with two middle-aged men.

Without further ado, he turned around and bowed to Nan Xuyu and the other two. "Ah, Rusong and Zhenzhong have arrived first," Nan Xuyu, who was bloated, smiled when he saw An Rusong and the other two, and said to the two middle-aged men beside him, "Come on, let me introduce you first."

"This is Quan Bingxia, director of the editorial committee of the Central Daily News," he said with a smile, putting his hand on the shoulder of the middle-aged man next to him who had a severely bald head and a wrinkled face.

"This is Gu Qingyong, president of the Sunsan branch of the Chosun Ilbo," he then turned to the skinny middle-aged man next to him and said.

Every time he introduced someone, An Rushong would bow to the other person. There was nothing he could do about it because they were all older than him, and if they sat together, they would be his seniors.

After introducing the two middle-aged men, Nan Xuyu took a few steps forward and walked to An Rusong and Yu Zhenzhong. He did not introduce An Rusong first, but pointed at Yu Zhenzhong and said, "It's a pity today that President Li Xubin has some personal matters to deal with and cannot come to the banquet, so he specially entrusted his nephew Zhenzhong to come and convey his apology to everyone on his behalf."

Only then did An Rushong realize that the young man who was like a fanboy around him was actually Li Xubin's nephew.

In response to Nan Xuyu's introduction, Yu Zhenzhong respectfully saluted Quan Bingxia and Gu Qingyong.

"This is An Rushong, the president of NGN Company," Nan Xuyu then introduced An Rushong and said.

An Rusong also followed Yu Zhenzhong's example and bowed to the two middle-aged men. However, just as he stood up, Quan Bingxia, who was almost bald, said, "I heard that Chairman An was very young before. Now that I see him, I know that the rumors are true. The news pop-up window launched by NGN before was really an ingenious design. Chairman Hong had previously talked about the function of this news pop-up window."

After a pause, he continued, "I would like to ask President An, how many hits does this news pop-up get every day?"

Ever since NGN launched the pop-up function, it has been used as a tool for NGN software to push hot news to users. The hot news mentioned here is different from the hot news ranking pushed by Yahoo. It is evaluated and ranked by NGN itself. The news hot ranking it pushes daily is slightly different from Yahoo's news hotspots.

"Yesterday's statistics showed that the IP/PV volume on the Korean side was 800 million/7600 million," An Rushong did not hide it and answered directly, because such data can always be found as long as people want to check it.

The IP/PV volume he mentioned on that day means that the total number of IPs that visited the NGN software pop-up window on that day was 800 million, and at the same time, these IPs clicked on the pop-up window and browsed the news through the pop-up window 7600 million times. To put it more simply, yesterday, a total of 800 million people clicked on the news push of the NGN software, and the total number of clicks was 7600 million times.

This amount is amazing.

Why? Because the total population of South Korea is only a little over 50 million, including newborn babies and elderly people who are about to die. And IP is actually bound to the network address, not a person. A single person may have an IP, and at the same time, a family of six may use the same IP.

Therefore, the calculation of this IP/PV quantity is not the same as the number of registered users of the software. The latter is data accumulated over a long period of time, while the former is data for a certain period of time.

Well, to use a less appropriate term, the IP/PV volume is more like the number of people online at the same time in an online game, or at least the number of active users, while the number of registered users is the total number of users from the launch of the game to the present.

As An Ru said this data, Quan Bingxia and Gu Qingyong looked at each other in surprise. It was obvious that they were shocked by this number.

Why? The reason is very simple. According to the data provided by An Rusong, the news pushed by NGN pop-up windows has at least 800 million readers. If the pop-up window is regarded as a newspaper, then its circulation is almost 800 million copies.

The circulation of JoongAng Ilbo, the largest newspaper in South Korea, is less than two million copies.

Of course, this statistical method is wrong. After all, the readers of the same newspaper are not necessarily the same person. At the same time, the reader loyalty of the two is also different. But the problem is that compared with a newspaper, the news push method of NGN pop-up windows also has great advantages, even advantages that newspapers do not have.

For example, compared with paper media such as newspapers that need to be printed, NGN pop-up news push based on the Internet is more timely and faster, and at the same time, its coverage is also wider.
