Strictly speaking, Toutiao was not considered a portal.
However, that did not matter.
In fact, with the development of the Internet, all the major applications had been integrated into each other.
Although Toutiao was a user-created content model, it could also take into account the type of portal.
And what Chen Yu wanted the most was traffic.
Yes.
In fact, Internet products were ultimately competing with traffic.
Traffic was the foundation of all Internet products.
Without traffic, even the biggest innovation would be useless.
Toutiao was the same as Huanyu's short video. It did not seem to have a clear positioning.
However, with their original content and accurate data recommendations, it immediately subverted the ecology of the traditional Internet.
It maximized the exposure of all information.
It also allowed all users to see the content they cared about the most.
On the surface, there was no conflict between Toutiao and portal.
But that was not the case …
The global IP traffic was limited.
If you used more traffic on one product, you would use less traffic on other products.
This was like the battle between TikTok and WeChat.
TikTok and WeChat were not products of the same category.
However, if you used TikTok, then you would use less WeChat.
However, although Toutiao was doing well, Chen Yu was still not very satisfied.
After Toutiao was launched, it did attract a lot of traffic, and the speed of growth was like a rocket.
However, Chen Yu still felt that it was too slow.
Take the PK with Yahoo for example.
With the current growth rate of Toutiao, Chen Yu found that it was still impossible to compete with Yahoo in three years.
There were two reasons for this.
One was that although Yahoo had regressed, it was still a global Internet giant.
But this was not the most important.
The most important thing was that smartphones were not popular enough.
Yes.
Although Chen Yu launched a smartphone represented by Super Pear, this touch-based smartphone had just been launched globally. Moreover, Super Pear sold high-end products, which made it so that not everyone could own a Super Pear.
An application like Toutiao News would only experience explosive growth after smartphones became common.
Especially the use of fragmented time, smartphones were definitely the existence of all the traditional Internet.
Fortunately, there was good news from China. A group of domestic mobile phone manufacturers had finally launched their first smartphone.
For this reason, Chen Yu also returned from the United States. He wanted to see the sales of some mobile phone manufacturers.
Of course, when it came to the domestic cell phone manufacturers, the foreign cell phone giants had to be mentioned as well.
Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, Ericsson, etc.
After Huanyu Technologies threatened them with their patents, the cell phone giants finally came to their senses.
For this reason, the first task of releasing the new model in China was to seize as much market share as possible.
Alright then.
Other than Super Pear, they were trying to seize the market share.
There was no other way.
Some of the mobile phone giants finally understood. Previously, they had fought a few rounds with Huanyu Technologies, and all of them had lost miserably.
It could even be said that he had never won a single time.
Since that was the case, it was better to avoid Huanyu Technologies and grab other markets first.
However, they did not expect that.
They had purposely avoided Huanyu Technologies in their product line. However, the other cell phone manufacturers were not to be trifled with either.
The first company to compete with Nokia was Meizu, an electronic technology company that used to produce MP3 players.
Meizu released their first smartphone, the M8.
Compared to Feng Yu's previous life, the M8 did not have many advantages.
Meizu's M8 could not even compare to Super Pear.
However, Meizu's M8's exterior was very detailed. The entire design made the M8 look very beautiful.
In this era of product attractiveness, the M8 was undoubtedly a success.
Next was Bubugao.
Bubugao was not a single product. Instead, there were a total of three products.
Bubugao, Oppo, and Vivo.
Although these three phones were from the same company, they each had their own unique characteristics.
Bubugao combined music and smartphones and released a music smartphone.
Oppo focused on photography and defined it as a camera phone.
Vivo focused on business and high-end phones.
Although this business model could not compare to high-end phones and Super Pear, its outstanding hardware design attracted many people.
Next was Xiaomi.
Lei Jun finally found his natal item. They successfully released the Xiaomi phone.
Lei Jun imitated Huanyu Technologies' strategy and adopted hunger marketing.
After a mad scramble, the originally unknown Xiaomi phone suddenly became famous.
However, the ones listed above were not the most lethal.
Compared to Nokia, Sony … these were the world's giants.
Although the domestic smartphones had some highlights, they could not compete with these giants in terms of product quality.
However …
If the smartphone's price was lowered to an outrageous level, then there was no need to consider the product quality.
Previously, Super Pear was priced at 5,999 yuan.
This price was already considered reasonable.
However, this smartphone was still very expensive for the masses.
As for Nokia, Sony, Samsung … although their smartphones were not priced at 5,999 yuan, the price was at least 3,000 yuan.
How much was everyone's monthly salary in 2006?
3,000 yuan for a smartphone was almost twice the salary of many people.
However, compared to the 3,000 yuan of these giants, the domestic smartphones were priced at around 2,000 yuan.
Xiaomi's smartphone was priced at 1,899 yuan.
If placed in front of the consumers, would they choose 3,000 yuan or 1,899 yuan?
"Damn, Nokia and Motorola are too expensive. Seems like I will buy a domestic smartphone."
"I will also buy a domestic smartphone. After all, Nokia is no longer synonymous with mobile phones."
"That's right. If you really want to buy a high-end smartphone, just buy our Super Pear. Why buy a Nokia? "
"If you ask me, these overseas and domestic phones are almost the same. There is no need to buy an overseas phone."
In the past, when people bought a smartphone, the first thing they considered was the brand.
Then, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung … these companies used their brands to overtake the domestic phone manufacturers.
But when Super Pear was introduced, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung … these companies completely fell from their pedestal.
Everyone was no longer so obsessed with the brand power of these foreign cell phone manufacturers.
At least, many people knew that there was a Super Pear above them.
Moreover, smartphones were invented by Huanyu Technologies. It had nothing to do with Nokia.
Speaking of which, Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung were now eating the leftovers of Huanyu Technologies.
Since that was the case, why would they still buy these overseas phone brands?
So …
Next, you will see.
The group of foreign mobile phone giants, who had regrouped, once again encountered a tragic snipe in the domestic market.
However …
This time, Huanyu Technologies was not involved.
However, the sniping without Huanyu Technology's participation did not affect the performance of the domestic cell phone manufacturers at all.
They had made a beautiful comeback in the first competition between smartphones and foreign mobile phone giants.
