"Boss Wang, this is the data of YY Instant Messaging from its creation to this year."
At the mobile headquarters, CEO Wang Jianzhou was reviewing the data report of YY Instant Messaging.
In the data report, YY had gone from being a niche instant messaging product to surpassing QQ. In the end, it defeated Penguin and became the only instant messaging software in the country. Currently, the number of people online at the same time had exceeded 25 million, and the number of registered users had exceeded 300 million …
Even Wang Jianzhou, the general manager of the mobile company, was extremely shocked by such data.
One had to know that as of 2005, the number of mobile users in China had only exceeded 300 million.
Even with the addition of Unicom and Telecom's Little Smart business, the total number of users was only 390 million, not exceeding 400 million.
However, the total number of registered users of Huanyu Technologies' YY had reached 300 million?
What kind of concept was that?
Wang Jianzhou knew that YY's registration was very high and could not be compared to mobile users.
However, no matter how high the percentage was, the registration number of close to 300 million still made Wang Jianzhou feel deeply pressured.
Moreover, Wang Jianzhou knew that as the number of YY Instant Messaging users advanced, the scale of his users would further increase.
It was not impossible for the number of YY Instant Messaging users to exceed mobile users in the future.
Although mobile was a communication operator, it did not care about these things.
They just needed to be a good communication operator.
However, as a communication operator, Wang Jianzhou knew the changes that instant messaging products would bring to users.
At the same time, it was also an impact on their communication operators.
For example, text messaging services.
In the past, if everyone wanted to chat and communicate, they would either call or text.
However, many people now used YY video calls to make calls.
As for text messaging, what was the point of texting? It cost 10 cents to send a text message. They might as well go online and chat with YY.
Even for him, there were many times when he felt that it was more convenient to communicate with people online using YY.
Although overall, whether it was the cost of calling or texting, China Mobile was still increasing explosively. However, Wang Jianzhou knew that this was because the overall mobile business had been rising. However, there would definitely be a time when this rise would reach its limit. Once it reached its limit, then YY would snatch mobile's share.
This was not Wang Jianzhou's groundless worries.
Wang Jianzhou, who had been in the communication field for decades, felt an incomparable sense of crisis.
Especially in the Internet era.
The person who defeated you might not necessarily be your competitor, but a cross-border.
The most obvious example was the media.
In the past, the media were television stations, radio channels, newspapers, and magazines.
But now …
Sorry, it's Sina Net, Huanyu Gateway, Sohu, and NetEase.
Although the traditional media still controlled the market.
But in the future, they believed that these major portals could surpass the influence of traditional media.
"Xiao Liu, let's go to the Software Department."
Although Mobile was a telecommunications company, it also had a software department.
Of course, the software department wasn't originally meant for instant messaging. It was meant for the mobile DreamNet.
As the largest software company in the mobile industry, DreamNet was responsible for the survival of countless companies.
Penguin and YY, for example. Both of them had grown under the auspices of DreamNet.
But times have changed.
The once-popular mobile DreamNet was on the wane.
Even so, DreamNet was still the largest mobile platform in the country.
"Boss Wang."
Seeing Wang Jianzhou enter, all the members of the software department stood up.
"Why are you looking at me? You guys go about your business."
Wang Jianzhou chuckled. He looked around the department with great interest.
"How's our instant messaging coming along?"
"Boss Wang, it's done. We're testing the bugs. Would you like to try it out?"
"So fast?"
"Instant messaging is a relatively simple piece of software. What's more, the department has been busy with this project. If we don't get it done, we'll be letting down Boss Wang."
Jiang Mingchao, the head of the mobile software department and also the head of DreamNet, replied eagerly.
Finished speaking, Jiang Mingchao pulled out a nearby stool and invited Wang Jianzhou to take a seat.
"Boss Wang, this is our instant messaging software, Feixin. Please use it."
As the general manager of Mobile, Wang Jianzhou often used instant messaging on the Internet.
Especially recently, Wang Jianzhou paid special attention to YY's every function.
There was no difficulty in using it. He clicked to register and log in. Wang Jianzhou searched for friends online and added a few.
These friends were Mobile's internal testers. They were there to test Feixin's bugs.
After half an hour, Wang Jianzhou began to feel good.
The instant messaging software they developed called Feixin was very beautiful and logical, whether it was the user interface or the difficulty of operation. At the same time, all kinds of functions were also available. Like Feixin Show, this was an imitation of YY show. Although it was an imitation, their Feixin Show went one step further on this foundation. Look, there were dynamic effects.
As for the Feixin group, they also upgraded it.
YY group generally only had 100 people, 200 advanced people, and more advanced people would have to spend money.
Their Feixin directly allowed each person to create five groups of 500 people.
In addition, they were a step ahead of YY in terms of offline transmission of files, breakpoint transmission, cloud storage …
In addition, they still used their mobile phone number to register, which was easy and convenient and could be registered with one click.
At the same time, because the mobile phone could also be bound to email, it was more convenient to send emails.
However, after Wang Jianzhou thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
Feixin was good, but could it snatch YY's market with this?
Wang Jianzhou asked himself.
The answer was that it was impossible.
Think about how QQ died?
It was the first place in the market at that time, but in the end, not only did it fall to second place, but it also went bankrupt.
Even if Feixin was good, wasn't it another version of QQ?
At most, one was developed by Penguin, and the other was their mobile.
Although their mobile was very large, mobile was only a communication operator, not a pure Internet company.
Wang Jianzhou was also well aware of this.
Speaking of which, they were doing instant messaging software across industries. Whether it was technology or experience, they couldn't compete with Huanyu Technologies. Relying on this alone, this Feixin would only be courting death.
"Mingchao, well done."
After a trial, Wang Jianzhou left the mouse and praised it a little.
Jiang Mingchao thought that Wang Jianzhou was really praising him, but he was delighted and prepared to say a few modest words. But he didn't expect Wang Jianzhou to change the topic and continue: "It's just that our Feixin is good, but it feels like something is missing."
"President Wang, please give me some pointers."
Jiang Mingchao slightly bent his waist, with a posture of accepting advice.
"Let me ask you, if our Feixin is launched, how can it compete with YY? You know, YY is currently the number one instant messaging software in the country. There is no other. How can we compete with them? "
"Boss Wang, although YY is strong, it's not without shortcomings. I've done some research. At present, more and more users are starting to use the mobile version of YY. Mobile instant messaging is one of the future directions. But in the mobile software platform, our mobile DreamNet has always been the number one in the industry. As long as we put YY on the mobile DreamNet, we can enter the market in an instant. "
"Take YY off the shelves?"
"Yes, Boss Wang. YY has been relying on our blood transfusions to survive until now. If we didn't support YY in the past, YY would never have survived until now. Although their environment is a lot better now, as long as we don't support them anymore, even if we can't completely defeat YY, we can take this opportunity to become the second instant messaging company in the country. "
Jiang Mingchao was incomparably confident, as if everything was in his hands.
But when he heard this, Wang Jianzhou sighed.
He had long known that their mobile wasn't a pure Internet company. In theory, it would be very difficult to PK with Huanyu Technologies.
But Wang Jianzhou still held a glimmer of hope.
After all, these executives had been around for so long, and their vision was still sharp.
But today, Jiang Mingchao's answer disappointed him greatly.
He really wanted to shout, is it because you've monopolized for so long that you don't even have the ability to think?
