But do you know the origin of it? Maybe everyone knows that it is a product of NetEase company.

However, how to create it is impossible to say.

Below net gains net to chat with everybody about 163.com free mail's past life.

First, let's talk about its founder. Yes, he is the famous Mr. Ding Lei.

In 2003, the richest person in mainland China, China's first donation in 2005: individuals donated $1 million 200 thousand (equivalent to 10 million yuan) to the Red Cross Society of China to help rebuild their homes in the tsunami affected areas.

In 2006, he and Duan Yongping jointly donated $40 million to Zhejiang University to support education.

Ding Lei, born in 1971, was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang.

He graduated from Chengdu University of Electronic Science and technology.

In 1993~1995, he worked in Ningbo Telecom Bureau, worked for Sybase Guangzhou company in -1996 in 1995, worked in Guangzhou Fei Jie company in 1996 -1997, and founded NetEase in May 1997.

After Ding Lei founded NetEase, Ding Lei, who had been puzzling over the whole day in search of the direction of NetEase development, opened up his eyes when he discovered Hotmail.

NetEase is going to buy a Hotmail system for $100 thousand to build a free e-mail site in China.

Hotmail said not to sell first, then reply $2 million 800 thousand a set, plus an additional installation fee of $2000 per hour.

Ding Lei found his partner Chen Leihua studying the structure of Hotmail, and the two decided to do it themselves.

After a month, their knowledge increased greatly.

Several partners often dance with excitement for a technological breakthrough.

On the one hand, it develops free e-mailboxes while thinking about domain names.

Ding Lei believes that if you want to succeed in free e-mail, you must have a nice domain name.

What kind of domain name is it? Ding Lei thinks about it almost every day.

At 2 in the morning, Ding Lei suddenly thought that he could use the number to represent the domain name. The pronunciation of Chinese numbers was very crisp. Moreover, 163 and 169 had the meaning of pointing to Chinanet and telecommunication bureau and Internet in China. The Internet users had to dial 163 every day, so they could not be familiar with it anymore.

When Ding Lei thought of this, he jumped up from the bed, dialed 163 Internet access, and inquired about the two domain names of 163.net and 163.com. Thank God, he hasn't been registered yet.

After registering the two domains, Ding Lei went to sleep, but he could not sleep. He wanted to go to the United States more. He jumped up from the bed and registered a string of domain names such as 188.net, 188.com, 166.net, 166.com, 126.net, 126.com and so on.

7 months later, the powerful NetEase's free mailbox system was written, and 163 of the domain names were available. Everything was ready, but when Ding Lei applied to the telecommunications bureau to increase free mail service, he encountered difficulties.

Guangzhou Telecom does not allow NetEase to operate free mailbox business independently.

Ding Lei is very anxious. He is looking for cooperation with the feasibility analysis of the free mailbox. The most doubt is that "when can the project make money?" Ding Lei told him honestly: "I don't know when I can make money, but I know that this project has a bright future."

Such an answer can not be satisfactory, and few people can not immediately earn money.

Ding Lei had to turn around and talk about cooperation with Guangzhou Telecom Bureau.

At this time, Ding Lei, who is already in a hurry, has thrown out the "cooperative operation, which does not allow the telecommunications bureau to pay a penny, the software and hardware are invested by NetEase, and the profit is divided into 6: 4 (Telecom is 6)".

This plan reminds the Telecommunications Bureau.

Guangzhou Telecom proposes to buy NetEase's free mailbox, but Ding Lei's reply is: "no sale."

It took two months for Ding Lei to find a partner.

NetEase's 500 thousand yuan has been built for several months. If the company does not make money again, the days will be difficult to sustain.

Ding Lei did not know what venture capital was.

Moreover, "I am not willing to run in debt, because I am not sure whether Internet will be successful or not."

When Ding Lei was around the wall, Hotmail was bought by Microsoft for $350 million.

In February 1998, Ding Lei finally promised to sell the Chinese free mailbox system to Guangzhou Telecom.

Guangzhou Telecom proposed to send 163 domain names at the same time. Ding Lei thought, "I know the value of this delivery.

Guangzhou Telecom has built up 163.net, which has spent only about 1000000 yuan on hardware investment, of which 75% of the total investment is hardware and database system. We have little profit after tax, but the development of NetEase needs capital injection and we have to do it.

Every time I saw this home page, I didn't know what Ding Lei was feeling. [NextPage], in February 16, 1998, www.163.net was open to use. The number of registered users increased by about 2000 people per day. Up to now, the number of users has reached 350 thousand.

After the success of 163.net, many companies called NetEase to buy the system, which contrasts sharply with the fact that Ding Lei was looking for partners everywhere.

263, Zhejiang, Jinhua, 990, 371, and Jinhua 188 buy NetEase's free mailbox system.

Some people question "how can a software developed in China cost hundreds of thousands of dollars?" Ding Lei retorts: "the system that NetEase does is no worse than that of the Americans."

"Everyone knows that NetEase's free e-mail system is expensive, but there are no competitive products in China," he said.

Although the free mailbox has earned a lot of money for NetEase, Ding Lei still believes that if you do not sell, you will be more successful in your exclusive free email site.

Ding Lei lost 163.net, but made 163.com. One day, inspired by the boss of a big internet portal, he decided to turn 163.com into a portal. As a matter of fact, she changed her mind.

Of course, with the help of the mail system, Mr. Ding Lei is also determined to be Mr. hotmail of China. He will never forget the importance of free mailboxes.

Therefore, 163.com free mailbox has also been launched under the influence of NetEase.

126.com free mailbox, 188 fortune mailbox follows.

It has made great achievements in NetEase's China hotmail.

To talk about this, I not only exclamation, success is the comprehensive effect of all kinds of factors such as vision, opportunity, skill, will, effort, and human connections.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared.
