"YY's model is to gather gaming guilds through 5173 and absorb players through the gaming guilds. Then through the players, you can enter the YY channel … "
"The whole model is a combination of gaming and instant messaging. It's simple and practical, and the cost of absorbing users is very low."
"In itself, YY is like a game."
"In the end, relying on accurate positioning, YY experienced explosive growth as soon as it was launched."
YY's model was not complicated.
Zhang Zhidong studied it for a while and figured out YY's operating model.
However, it was this simple model that opened up another channel in QQ's monopoly.
And this channel could not be controlled by QQ, so it was very difficult to block it.
To be honest, he admired Huanyu Technologies.
"Zhidong, how much do you think YY's registered members will grow?"
"This is temporarily unpredictable, but with their model, they can grow as much as there are domestic players."
"Okay, understood."
Ceng Liqing, Chen Yizhou, and Xu Chenye all looked at Ma Huateng.
Among the five, Ma Huateng held the most shares and was also the most decisive one.
When it came to major issues, everyone listened to Ma Huateng's opinion first.
"Follow or not?"
Although no one said this sentence, everyone's eyes told him.
He thought carefully for a long time.
Countless thoughts flashed through Ma Huateng's mind.
In the end, Ma Huateng shook his head, "Not following."
…
"Great, Penguin is not moving."
"Li Nan, what did I say? You're just scaring yourself."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing that Penguin was not moving, Li Nan sighed in relief.
He was really afraid that Penguin would follow.
One had to know that although YY now had 4 million registered users, it still couldn't be compared to QQ's volume.
If they also created a chat room, it would be difficult for YY to compete.
However, Chen Yu was a little disappointed and said helplessly, "Li Nan, you're underestimating Penguin."
"Boss Chen?"
"Penguin has their reasons for not following. Although YY was also an instant messaging software, its main function now was entertainment. However, QQ was different. QQ's main function was instant messaging, and its secondary function was entertainment. If they follow up, it will affect the positioning of their software. "
"That's one of the reasons. Secondly, even if they don't follow up, can we really surpass QQ? It's not … "
Chen Yu shook his head. "Look at our current registrations. After 4 million registrations, our registrations dropped rapidly. Three days have passed, and our registrations still haven't exceeded 5 million. At this rate, we may not even be able to reach 20 million registered users in a year. "
"Boss Chen, 20 million is already a terrifying number."
"You're right. 20 million registrations is indeed terrifying. But do you know how many QQ registrations will break through this year? "
"How much?"
"70 million."
Chen Yu reported a figure of 70 million.
"Don't say it's impossible. In my estimation, 70 million is still considered a small amount."
Chen Yu continued, "Since the number of people registered on QQ exceeded 10 million, QQ's growth didn't require any deliberate promotion. All of our friends who use QQ will spontaneously promote QQ. "
"Of course, this isn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the growth of our domestic netizens. A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a data that the number of domestic netizens is increasing by more than 50% every year. In 2001, there were 40 million domestic netizens, 60 million in 2002, and 90 million in 2003 … And for these increasing users, their first choice will be QQ. "
"Boss Chen, in other words, they don't need to do anything at all. They can continuously attract new users."
"That's right."
Chen Yu nodded. "This is the advantage of a demographic dividend."
It couldn't be helped.
QQ took the lead and occupied the market. This was the advantage they deserved as the number one.
It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be for the latecomers to surpass them.
They were simply in an invincible position, as long as they didn't court death.
As long as they could hold on for a few years and wait for the domestic netizens to really explode, then QQ would be the most powerful existence.
In fact, Penguin did the same in later years.
When everyone wanted to make money in the game, Penguin stuck to itself and insisted on instant messaging.
It wasn't until their instant messaging truly monopolized the market and there were no competitors that Penguin entered other markets.
With a user as large as Penguin, even if Penguin entered later, it would always overtake them at every turn. It was a tried and tested product.
"Doesn't that mean we'll never be able to defeat Penguin?"
Zhang Jianming asked.
"Not really."
Although Chen Yu said this, he never felt that there was no one who couldn't be defeated.
No matter how big or strong a company was, as long as they had the right strategy, it wasn't impossible to defeat them.
"The reason why Penguin didn't follow suit is actually very simple. It's because they have the confidence. They don't need to follow suit. Their number of registered users will continue to grow every day. Although this growth rate isn't explosive, it's accelerating every day. But … what if our growth rate is faster than theirs? "
"Of course, I'm not talking about growth in a day or two, but over a period of time, a year, or even two years …"
This was the only way to truly threaten Penguin.
This was also the only way to make Penguin make the wrong decision.
"It seems that we'll have to fight a protracted battle with Penguin."
Zhang Jianming and Li Nan sighed.
They didn't expect Penguin to be more powerful than they thought.
It was just that they didn't show off and didn't make much money, so no one knew.
But when you really fought with them, you'd find that you couldn't shake them at all in a short time.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a very good idea. We'll definitely beat Penguin."
"Boss Chen, what's the idea?"
The two asked at the same time.
Chen Yu, on the other hand, stroked his chin with a profound look on his face. Then, he said, "Throw money."
"Ah …"
The two were dumbfounded.
They thought that Chen Yu would come up with a brilliant idea.
They didn't expect that he would only say two words, spend money.
"Boss Chen, how do we spend money? Do we spend money on advertising?"
"Yes."
"This, this …"
"What, don't you think that spending money is useful?"
"Boss Chen, spending money is useful, but isn't it too simple and crude?"
"That's what I want."
Chen Yu was unmoved. "After playing games for so long, it's not like you don't know that you can't become stronger without spending money. It's the same in games and on the Internet. "
