Chapter 384: [The next vent of instant messaging]

Xu Luo and others who participated in this decision did not feel much surprise because the issue was already discussed when developing WhatAPP.
Today, after a year of development, WhatAPP has become a bright star app for major social products within the Bluestar Technology Group, and its momentum is second only to BlueSpace. You must know that many social products under the BlueStar Technology Group are themselves They are all star products, showing the potential of WhatAPP.
推出 Once launched, user increments are tens of millions per month, which can be called a god-level application.
应用 The current global user volume of this app has reached 150 million, which still does not include the market in the Greater China market. WhatAPP is not available in the Mainland.
"This social app is called 'WeChat'." Luo Sheng was very decisive.
Hmm, stealing the way of others, leaving others with no way to go. There is no way. If you don't steal the way of others, your own path will become narrower and narrower in the future.
Luo Sheng added: "WeChat should be a real-name social application, it should be contrary to the concise WhatAPP concept, it should be rich in functions, including circle of friends, public account ..."
晟 Product development Luo Sheng will not go to the front line to type the code. Next, he will explain to the attending Xu Yong and others one by one the functions including the circle of friends and the public account.
At the end of the day, Xu Yong licked his mouth decisively: "The boss's creativity has almost no ceiling."
Zhang Bowen couldn't help laughing: "Once this product is launched, it will definitely give Teng Xun a punch in the battlefield of the mobile Internet in combination with the general trend of the mobile Internet era."
It is true that Luo Sheng ’s WeChat in the past can quickly defeat Fetion and Rebes ’Michao launched by Huaguo Mobile, to a large extent also due to the drainage of the huge number of QQ users.
Although Luo Luosheng did not have a QQ traffic entrance, he had social portals such as blue space and Weibo. Nowadays, he has more users than QQ. WeChat developed it in his hands, and its rise will only be faster.
"Products will be launched in the second half of this year."
Luo Sheng said succinctly, he set a tone, and then he turned to CTO Xu Yong, who patted his chest and nodded that there was absolutely no problem.
At this time, a core executive named Liu Jinyu said: "General Manager Luo, compared to the QQ competitor, I feel that Fetion launched by mobile may be the most powerful opponent WeChat has to face."
Luo Luosheng fixed his eyes on Liu Jinzhen, pointing at him: "You are right, you are right."
Then I looked at everyone and added: "Know why I would call WeChat? The target is mobile Fetion. OK, I decided, this project is independent. You Jinjin Liu will be the senior product manager of WeChat, focusing on the development of WeChat. And marketing. "
Everyone and Liu Jinzhen stumbled for a while, and the latter responded and said immediately: "Understand!"
In fact, Liu Jinzhen was very excited at the moment when he took on this task, because from the discussion in the previous meeting, Luo Sheng's words made him particularly deep.
Once WeChat succeeds, the value of this product alone will reach a horrible order of magnitude of 500 billion yuan in the foreseeable future, which means that its scale may exist on the order of magnitude of the blue space.
泷 Liu Jinchen is not a director of Bluestar Technology Group yet. This project is done well and it is a stubborn thing to sit on the board of directors.
Some of my colleagues attending the meeting were jealous.
You know, there are already a lot of executives present who want to take over this high-quality project.
However, Luo Sheng decided Liu Jinxuan at the mouth, basically it was a clap. No one in the company's authority can challenge him.
At this time, Liu Jinzheng said methodically: "With the continuous development of the Internet, social software has also developed vigorously, such as the current QQ and Fetion, the user activity of these two products is no less inferior to each other, According to relevant statistics, the users of Tencent QQ and Mobile Fetion at the same time have reached the scale of 100 million, showing its influence. "
Fetion, this is a software that can achieve a seamless link between the network and SMS. The rise and the era of web2.0, first launched in 2007, is one of the most popular social software in China today, without exaggeration Said to be a big super application in the same echelon as QQ and Blue Space.
In 2007, WhatApp didn't appear yet, so it can be seen that innovation in the Mainland is absolutely remarkable.
Users can use Fetion to send text messages to friends in their address book. This is very convenient for users who need to send notifications, and this service is free.
In fact, the operator's short message business is stagnant, not only the rise of social products such as QQ, but also Fetion, which owns mobile phones, has also played a strong assist.
In 2007, the domestic mobile phone market was still dominated by operators at this time. The azure coast just launched the first-generation Azure mobile phones, which had a small market share, and Fetion was launched by the most powerful mobile phone.
Today, this product is at its peak. The number of users has reached 500 million, and the number of monthly active users has reached 100 million. Considering that smartphones are not very popular, most Fetion users are still on smartphones such as plastic keyboards. run.
Luo Sheng looked at Liu Jinzhang and asked with a smile: "The competitors are so powerful, whether it is QQ or Fetion, WeChat has not launched yet. This business is responsible for you. Then how do you get from the two social twins of QQ Fetion Rising successfully? "
Liu Jinzheng and other senior executives who attended the meeting saw the faint smile of the ultimate BOSS and gave them the feeling that he must have found a solution to defeat the competition.
But don't say.
泷 Liu Jinchen realized that BOSS is testing its own pattern.
He didn't answer immediately, but thought about it for a while, Luo Sheng was not anxious and waited patiently.
I combed through the intertwined information in my mind. After a while, Liu Jinchen looked back to Luo Sheng and said, "As far as Fetion is concerned ... Mr. Luo, I think we can summarize its future with an idiom."
Luo Luosheng was curious: "Oh?"
Liu Jinchen said in a deep voice: "Success is also a matter of defeat, but also Xiao He."
Luo Luosheng: "How do you say this?"
"If I remember correctly, I saw a report some time ago that Fetion users on Azure mobile phones accounted for only about 25% and a quarter of Azure mobile phone users, because Unicom and Telecom users could n’t use them. Fetion received great convenience because of its mobile, but was blocked by China Telecom and China Unicom. "
When he said this, Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction, there was no worry in his mind, and he could rest assured that he would take this important project.
Liu Jinzhen saw this scene also secretly excited, and his thinking became clearer, but added a moment later:
"My conclusion is actually very simple. Fetion could not accidentally die in the competition because it does not support the three networks. This is the biggest shortcoming of Fetion. It seems that mobile does not want to change the meaning. It may be because it is too simple to obtain users. Let ’s go. And the WeChat we are launching must support Three Netcom. The next three years are the best development period, and Fetion may not respond.

Luo Luosheng laughed with great appreciation: "Speak well, but do better, understand?"
泷 Liu Jinxi nodded heavily, obviously he is a middle-aged man in his forties, but in the face of the young big boss so appreciated and recognized, his heart is also a little excited.
Luo Luosheng actually rarely boasted a subordinate in front of him in this way, but Liu Jin's remarks really directly pointed out the core pain points of Fetion, and at the same time, the judgment of the environment pattern was quite accurate.
The next three years will be the golden three years of WeChat development, or the golden three years of instant messaging in the mobile Internet era.
Because smartphone brands will spring up like bamboo shoots, more importantly, Luo Sheng already knows that Rebus is going to let his Xiaomi mobile phone go down the cost-effective line. Smartphones at the 2,000 yuan level are almost affordable for everyone. , Will inevitably further accelerate the expansion of the mobile Internet.
These three years are also the superimposition of the golden age and decline era of Huaqiangbei and the cottage, or because of Xiaomi, because of Rebus, the cottage was destroyed by him.
Under the offensive of Xiaomi's 2,000 yuan stall, the cottage machine has no power at all.
Everything seems to have no intersection ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In fact, the whole body is dragged in. The changes and changes in the times have been the most rapid in the past three years. Some rise and some decline. The "fish eat slow fish" effect is evident.
Feixin's large size, coupled with carrier giants such as back-to-back mobile, the size is large enough, and finally was eaten, because the response is too slow.
This is the classic case of fast fish eating slow fish.
If you blame it, blame the mobile operator for the fact that Fetion has reached such a huge size. It is too superstitious about the "Matthew Effect" and feels that no matter how bad it is, it will not face the tragedy of death. The reason is very simple. Take a look at QQ. Mass, look at the mass of the blue space. After so many years, no one can help, including Fetion's mass is almost at this level.
Everyone has occupied the dominant market share in their respective fields, forming the "Matthew Effect" of winner-take-all, and it is not surprising that Fetion responded slowly and eventually died.
Because until now, few people have realized the concept of "fast fish eat slow fish".
Luo Sheng looked at Liu Jinzhang: "WeChat competitors, Tencent QQ and Mobile Fetion are already confirmed competitors. They are very powerful competitors, but we must also pay attention to potential competitors that have not yet surfaced. "
When everyone heard this, they looked at Luo Sheng in confusion.
Liu Jinchen hesitated: "General Luo, you mean ...".
Luo Luosheng muttered to himself with an intentional or unintentional tone: "I always think it seems that Lei has been doing things recently."
As soon as the words came out, Luo Sheng immediately looked at the crowd and asked, "Who have you noticed Xiaomi's latest recruitment information?"
