"Oh my god, 4 million registrations."
"7 days, Li Nan, are we dreaming?"
"No, this is more exciting than a dream."
Zhang Jianming was stunned when he saw YY break through 4 million downloads in just 7 days.
However, Chen Yu just looked at it and was a bit depressed. "It hasn't broken 5 million yet. Sigh, we have to work harder. Oh right, when it breaks 5 million registrations, make an announcement. "
"Boss Chen, you want to make an announcement?"
"Of course I have to. At least it's a small record. It's much better than QQ back then. Why not?"
"I'm a bit worried, will Penguin copy us?"
Li Nan's UC show had been imitated by Penguin, and it was even better than theirs.
Once bitten, twice shy. Li Nan was still quite worried about Penguin.
"Don't worry, even if we don't make an announcement, they're probably studying our YY now."
It was impossible for Penguin to not notice such a strong opponent.
Fortunately, after 7 days, YY's sneak attack was successful.
Even if they reacted now, they could only accept it.
As for what Li Nan said about Penguin copying them, Chen Yu wasn't afraid at all.
He was afraid that Penguin wouldn't copy them.
If they dared to copy, Chen Yu would drag them into the ditch.
One had to know that Chen Yu wanted to do instant messaging directly, not entertainment + instant messaging.
Although YY had instant messaging, it was more focused on entertainment.
In the short term, there were no drawbacks to YY, but after a long time, the drawbacks would appear.
This was why YY's development in the future wasn't bad, but it couldn't compare to QQ.
Not only couldn't they compare, they couldn't even be compared.
Chen Yu set up YY to stir up the instant messaging market.
On the other hand, he also wanted to dig a hole for Penguin.
He wanted to see if Penguin dared to copy them.
I dare, I've already prepared a hole.
If they don't dare, then I'll continue flying …
…
Penguin.
After the 7th day of the lunar calendar, the Chinese New Year was over and the holidays were over.
All the major companies returned to work, and so did Penguin.
"Zhi Dong, last year you said that 5173 launched an instant messaging software. How is it now?"
"I played with it for a while. I think it's very creative and interesting."
"This software seems to be very popular. Luckily, it was just released not long ago."
Ma Huateng, Zhang Zhidong, Ceng Liqing, Xu Chenye, and Chen Yizhou founded Penguin together.
As soon as the five of them arrived at the company, Ceng Liqing, Xu Chenye, and Chen Yizhou started talking about YY.
As the three of them chatted, they noticed that Ma Huateng and Ceng Liqing didn't look too good.
"Pony, what's wrong?"
"Let Zhi Dong tell everyone."
The three of them looked at Zhang Zhidong.
Zhang Zhidong sighed. He opened his laptop and said, "I don't know what to say. I'll log into YY now. Let's see how popular YY is."
"King's Guild channel."
"Oh my god, there are too many people here."
"How many people are in this channel?"
"It says 5000 people."
Staring at the data of 5000 people, everyone was dumbfounded.
If there were 5000 people in a channel, then the size of YY couldn't be underestimated.
"Zhi Dong, are there any robots in the channel?"
Ceng Liqing asked.
This channel model was very similar to the chat room model.
In the past, when they were in chat rooms and forums, many webmasters would make the number of people in the chat room thousands or tens of thousands.
But this was just for show. The real data was not bad if there were hundreds of people.
Although YY wasn't a real chat room, the model was similar. It was possible that it was purely fake.
"There are robots, but even if there are, there aren't many."
"Everyone, look at the frequency of their spam. If it's a channel with more people, it's just like playing a game. It's crazy spam inside."
Pointing at the content that kept rolling in YY, Zhang Zhidong looked serious.
In fact, it wasn't spam. As for why such a phenomenon occurred, it was because there were too many people chatting. Everyone talked one after another, and suddenly there was a phenomenon of spam.
"Zhi Dong, why didn't you remind us at that time?"
Ceng Liqing complained.
"I reminded you. Didn't you say you would see it after the New Year?"
"Uh …"
"At that time, I said we should pay more attention to it. You guys had a good New Year, right?"
"Hey, so we're wrong for celebrating the New Year?"
"What do you think? If we had thought of a strategy earlier, YY wouldn't have become so big."
Zhang Zhidong and Ceng Liqing argued.
The others didn't look good either.
In fact, they didn't manage the company much this New Year. After a busy year, they should take a break.
Besides, it wasn't a long time to rest. It was only seven days.
But they didn't expect the market to change in seven days.
Fortunately, Ma Huateng on the side said, "Okay, I was the one who said to take a break. No one is to blame. Besides, even if we came back together to discuss it, we might not be able to make an effective counterattack. "
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Our first step should be to study the opponent."
"Pony is right. Since it's already like this, it's too late to say anything."
Chen Yizhou also said to ease the atmosphere, "Zhidong, what's the number of registered YY users?"
"It hasn't been officially announced, but I estimate at least three million, or even four million."
"Three to four million people. Oh my god, seven days."
Everyone secretly clicked their tongues, "With such a crazy speed, even if we came a few days ago, it would be difficult."
This time, Zhang Zhidong didn't refute.
The growth rate was too fast, so fast that you couldn't even react.
Even if you reacted, you couldn't stop their growth.
"Is this data accurate? Isn't the growth too fast? Even we only have this growth data."
In fact, QQ's growth was also very fast.
However, compared to QQ's size, this growth rate wasn't fast.
The reason why it was fast was because a large number of new users joined.
In other words, QQ's rapid growth at this time was a demographic dividend.
A large number of people who never went online went online at this time.
A large number of people who didn't have broadband installed it at this time.
Since these people went online, they would inevitably choose an entertainment product.
Instant messaging was the fastest thing they could accept.
But on the other side, YY grew from zero to millions.
This wasn't the reason for the demographic dividend.
But if there wasn't a demographic dividend, how could he have set such a record?
"At first, I didn't understand, but later I finally figured it out."
Zhang Zhidong said, "Didn't we talk before? What's the most popular thing now?"
"Games."
"Yes, games are more popular than our instant messaging. Of course, this refers to the aspect of making money. What does Huanyu Technologies do? They are a website that started as a game portal. Logically speaking, they should have entered the game first. But they didn't, they entered instant messaging. "
"Yes, Zhidong, why, why didn't they make money and enter instant messaging?"
One must know that even Penguin didn't make much money now.
"The answer is that they also have their eyes on the future market potential of instant messaging."
With this, everyone's heart tightened.
But Ceng Liqing said, "What does this have to do with the explosive growth of their registered users?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm just reminding everyone. It's not that we are optimistic about instant messaging, but others are too."
"Zhidong, we've always known this, let's talk about the main topic. What method did YY use to increase the number of registered users to more than three million in just seven days? "
For anything, the initial development was often the most difficult.
Portals were the same.
Online games were the same.
E-commerce platforms were the same.
Their instant messaging was the same.
Thinking of the time when they registered a transvestite account to fool people on QQ, everyone was speechless.
But now, YY seemed to have reversed this rule.
They didn't seem to have a freshman period, and they were at the peak as soon as they went public.
"In fact, it's very simple."
"Two words."
"Player."
Slowly, Zhang Zhidong said.
