How's it going with the major distance education companies? "
"Many distance education companies have expressed interest and will be moving in soon."
"What about Werewolf?"
"Werewolf is very novel. Many users say it's more fun than YY's Please Close Your Eyes When It's Dark."
"What about the streamer business?"
"The program is written and is being tested. It can be launched tomorrow."
"Good."
Ma Huateng let out a sigh of relief after understanding the situation.
Huanyu Technology was too much of a threat.
Ma Huateng thought that Chen Yu's warning at the airport would take some time even if Huanyu Technologies wanted to crack down. He didn't expect Huanyu Technologies to make such a big move right after they launched the instant messaging service.
Sketchpad, killing game, and streamer business.
These three new functions instantly pushed their YY voice chat to new heights.
Ma Huateng had no choice but to stop the instant messaging service for now and stabilize the voice chat service.
However, after the previous failure, Ma Huateng didn't seem discouraged.
Although TT instantly fell behind YY after the launch of these three new functions, Ma Huateng was smart enough to know that as long as they followed Huanyu Technologies' footsteps, even if they couldn't beat Huanyu Technologies, they could still survive.
Just like now, as soon as YY's three new functions were released, Ma Huateng ordered the entire company to imitate them.
Of course, they were more creative than imitating.
For example, they changed YY's killing game to Werewolf.
Although it was also a killing game, Werewolf had more settings and was more fun.
At the same time, they focused on promoting the streamer business.
In addition to the development of the program, they also prepared to invest in advertising after the streamer business was launched.
Time passed very quickly, and the second day soon arrived.
As a technical expert, Zhang Zhidong completed the streamer program perfectly after several tests.
"Pony, the program is done."
"Great, we'll launch it now."
"No problem."
Zhang Zhidong nodded.
The TT streamer business appeared as soon as the backend was updated.
"Liqing, have you contacted the major channels?"
"Pony, don't worry, we've already contacted them."
Taking out several hundred contracts, Ceng Liqing said, "Look, before this business was launched, we had already signed the contracts with the people in charge of the various Super Channels. In addition, they've already scouted out many anchors. "
"Very good."
Ma Huateng was a little excited. "Promote our advertisement."
"Alright, I'll go now."
TT's voice chat group had not been established for long.
However, Ma Huateng was not a newcomer to the Internet because of his previous QQ experience.
After they launched the voice chat mode, they quickly attracted many venture capitalists.
Of course, some venture capitalists might not be interested in condoms after their failure on QQ.
After all, they had failed once. If they were to invest again, they would definitely have to be more careful.
But this was nothing to a venture capital firm.
Venture capital, venture capital. If there was no risk, how could it be called a venture capital?
In fact, out of the dozens of projects invested in by venture capital, it was already very good if one of them succeeded.
Therefore, even if QQ had failed before, they were still interested in Ma Huateng.
Moreover, Ma Huateng was right to these venture capitalists.
Even if they failed in the end, they still returned the money to the major shareholders. They did not lose much.
Needless to say, for these venture capitalists, Ma Huateng's team was definitely a mature Internet team. With such a team, they had unparalleled ability. Why wouldn't they invest in such a company?
Therefore, Ma Huateng's condoms were not particularly short of money. They also had the funds to advertise.
[Host TT, I'll give you a host's dream.]
[This is a stage for dreams. Be there or be square with TT.]
[I'm at TT, where are you?]
It had to be said that Ma Huateng's vision was very sharp.
As soon as the YY host business appeared, he knew that it would be another huge market.
Although there were still some lag in the current video, it did not matter. As long as they set their sights on it, they would definitely reap great rewards in the future. It was also because of this market that Ma Huateng invested more in the host business than YY.
"Pony, you're really willing to invest a lot."
Seeing so many advertisements, Ceng Liqing sighed inwardly.
"YY voice group chat is just a subsidiary product of Huanyu Technologies. Their main focus is YY instant messaging, which is another version of YY. They won't support YY voice group chat too much. This is our opportunity. "
"The host business will definitely explode in the future. If we invest more in the early stages, it will be a huge advantage for our future development."
Ma Huateng saw it very clearly.
In fact, before TT started advertising, TT's traffic had started to rise the moment the host business was launched.
This kind of new online interactive live streaming business was really too attractive.
It was not only attractive to the hosts.
At the same time, it was also extremely attractive to the viewers.
Especially if the host was prettier and had a pleasant voice, it was simply an IP killer.
Wasn't this …
TT128 signed a contract with a very beautiful woman.
This beauty had only sung a few songs on Channel 128, and the amount of tips had already exceeded 10,000 yuan.
Alright.
There were a lot of exaggerations in this 10,000 yuan reward.
Some of it was the person in charge of Channel 128 who used the Internet Water Army to create hype.
Some of it was Brother Ma who sent people to secretly support her.
Although this was a little melodramatic.
But this was nothing.
In the early days of the Internet, many businesses needed guidance.
Just like selling things in e-commerce, in the beginning, the founder only bought and sold things there.
Users only needed to see the popularity and reward crazily.
Through their data, they found that one reward from the Internet Water Army they sent out could instantly lead to three users' rewards.
This kind of business was really worth it.
"Pony, our IP traffic is rising very quickly."
"That's great."
"If it rises at this rate, I'm confident that I can be on par with YY in half a month."
Zhang Zhidong was extremely excited as he monitored the growth of the IP traffic in the background.
The host was really a killer.
Although today was just the beginning, and the host was just singing, nothing much. But it was this seemingly simple business that was so attractive to him.
Actually, this was understandable.
Who didn't like beautiful women?
Other than playing games online, people mostly chatted with beautiful women online.
Even in games, if there were beautiful women, those male players would be madly stimulated.
All the major online game companies had been desperately trying to attract female players.
The reason for attracting them was not that some female players knew how to play games.
There was only one reason for attracting them, and that was because she was just a female player.
Yes.
As long as you were a female, it didn't even matter if you were beautiful or not.
Sometimes the Internet was so simple and crude.
At this time, the host business played this simple and crude to the fullest.
"No, it doesn't need half a month. Maybe 10 days will be enough."
Ma Huateng was also extremely excited.
Although TT was created not long ago, he was not completely unfamiliar with the product.
They had previously acquired the database of E-voice, and he had imported a lot of E-voice users.
Then they opened the voice function at the first time, and further attracted popularity.
Although it was not as good as YY for the time being.
However, the distance between them was constantly shrinking.
Of course, Ma Huateng was also incomparably incredulous at this moment.
How did their IP traffic rise so quickly?
Even if YY launched the host business, it did not have such speed.
But when he thought of the advertisements he made, Ma Huateng was also relieved.
Like this kind of incomparably innovative host business, he was born to attract countless people.
The business itself had an explosive attribute, not to mention the advertisements.
It was a pity that YY could not completely focus on the voice group chat.
"It's 6 o 'clock, Zhidong, today has a beautiful start. Let's get off work first and continue tomorrow."
Looking at the time, it was already 6 o 'clock. Ma Huateng patted Zhang Zhidong's shoulder.
"Okay, I'm also a bit tired. I'm going to have a good sleep."
"Okay, Zhidong, have a good rest."
Ma Huateng also knew that the most tired person recently was Zhang Zhidong.
In order to launch the new business, not only was he responsible for the framework, but he also had to personally participate in the specific procedures.
Especially the voice and video service, because it took up too much bandwidth, the previous versions were very laggy.
Zhang Zhidong had to make hundreds of optimizations.
Until today's latest version, it was finally done.
Although the current voice and video service was still very laggy, it was still barely usable.
Especially for some coastal and fiber optic Internet users, it was already a good experience.
"Okay, let's go, Liqing, get off work."
The Internet battle was not overnight. Although they wanted to destroy YY in one breath, it was impossible.
The battle with YY would definitely take countless days and nights.
But today, Ma Huateng and the others saw hope for tomorrow.
They believed that as long as they persevered, as long as they never gave up, Huanyu Technologies was not that scary.
Night came quietly.
Most of the people in TT company had already gotten off work, leaving only a few employees on duty.
The TT streamer business once again displayed its magic and attracted a large number of users.
In this large group of users, there were too many lonely and bored people.
Before, when they were bored, they would usually play games all night.
Or watch art films.
Or find some girls to chat with in YY.
But now, they found a more interesting place to go.
"Brother, let me tell you about a very interesting software."
"What software?"
“TT。”
"What's TT?"
"TT is a voice group chat software, just like YY's voice group chat."
"Why use TT if you have YY?"
"Brother, this TT is not simple. They launched a new feature, streamer business."
"Tch, what's so strange about streamers? YY was launched a long time ago. TT is copying YY."
"It doesn't matter if it's copying or not. It's true, the streamers in TT are different from those in YY."
"Different, what's the difference?"
"Well … it's not good to say it out loud, you know."
With a single sentence, even those who didn't understand understood in an instant.
Of course, there were some who didn't understand and wanted to see what was going on.
