Chapter 910 Borrowing the Millennium Wind
In the northern season, after November, it is the middle of winter.
Although the busy capital city is still bustling with traffic and a prosperous scene, it still cannot conceal the festive atmosphere of the upcoming Gregorian New Year.
According to Chinese tradition, the Gregorian New Year would not be celebrated with much fanfare. After all, the Lunar New Year is the main event throughout the year.
However, this year is different, because ninety-nine are unified, and the millennium is coming!
After six months of continuous development, Xiaonei.com has deservedly become the largest social networking site in China in terms of user registration scale and daily activity rate. Of course, even if the word social is removed, it still deserves to be number one.
Office workers who use computers to work on weekdays are embarrassed to tell others that they are white-collar workers if they have a campus network account!
The instant web chat plug-in of Xiaonei.com has also become one of the most popular instant chat software in China.
Friends secretly chat with each other to enhance their relationship. While browsing the web, they can use the chat plug-in to say a few words. This function is extremely convenient.
Therefore, Tencent’s QQ in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange has been greatly affected. Not only has the number of registered users grown slowly, but the daily active rate has also begun to decline.
As an instant chat tool, the advantage of QQ is that it provides a novel and convenient means of communication for men and women behind the Internet. But after chatting, a shortcoming emerged, that is, QQ itself has too few value-added services.
After all, men and women just chat every day, and the excitement will not last long.
At this time, the benefits of the school network are reflected. We share the articles we have read together and forward the new things we see. This social interaction is maintained unconsciously.
Skyview Corporation.
During these days, Wu Tao witnessed that the school network went from balancing its own income and expenses to starting to make profits, and then all kinds of profits came in one after another. He felt very accomplished.
But on the other hand, he was worried that QQ would collapse due to this, so that his angel round investment would be in vain.
But this kind of emotion cannot be expressed in Tianjing Company. Because in Tianjing Company, Tencent exists as the number one domestic competitor.
In the heated room, the windows are already covered with window grilles.
Wu Tao stood at the window holding a cup of hot tea, looking out at the streets that were changing every day, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.
The new century is coming, and China, a nation that has struggled for decades, will also begin to embark on the fast lane of development and experience rapid changes.
At this moment, a rapid knock on the door brought Wu Tao back to his senses.
Holding the teacup, he walked back to the chair and called out, "Come in," and then Yang Zili rushed in in a hurry.
"Boss, Tencent has launched a streamlined version of QQ software! I have sent you the download address, please take a look."
"Why panic? We are all R&D managers. We have to keep calm, understand?" Wu Tao did not forget to mention Yang Zili before turning on the computer.
Although Yang Zili has become a manager, he has not yet developed the temperament of a leader. He is still busy and noisy: "Can I not panic? Our school network has finally reached the development situation it has today. If Tencent QQ pulls it back again, That would be big trouble!”
While talking, Wu Tao had already opened the website, and a streamlined version of QQ software was quickly downloaded.
After a few minutes, the software is installed. Wu Tao took a look and found that this so-called new software was actually not much different from the original QQ. It’s just that the interface is indeed streamlined and supports customized development and maintenance.
Wu Tao's heart moved, isn't this the predecessor of TM?
Huatengma is preparing to focus on the business market and promote variants of QQ software to various companies!
This is clearly a market segment, and it is a direction with a high payment rate.
Sure enough, Lao Ma is worthy of being Lao Ma. Even though his living space is so squeezed by the school network, he still has some unique tricks to win.
Wu Tao told Yang Zili this analysis, but he didn't actually feel much nervous.
On the contrary, Yang Zili thought about it over and over before saying reluctantly: "Boss, this market segment doesn't seem to be our strong point!"
Wu Tao nodded, otherwise Lao Ma's idea would be totally wrong. This market segment is simply outside the target customers of Xiaonei.com!
"What should we do, boss? We can't just watch and be crushed by them, right?" Yang Zili pushed his thick lenses and gestured as he spoke.
Wu Tao laughed angrily.
"Lao Yang, please sit still! Let me tell you, although Internet technology is developing rapidly, it will not lead to a situation where everything is lost just because of a momentary mistake or failure."
"... Tianjing Company has developed to where it is today, step by step, in a down-to-earth manner. How could QQ reach the level of crushing you mentioned just because of a good move by QQ?"
When Yang Zili heard this, he smiled and said, "Boss, I'm a little too impatient. But we can't do nothing about this, right?"
Wu Tao showed his appreciation and said: "Although Mr. Ma's move this time is wonderful, he cannot seize the leisure social market of our school network. Even if the white-collar workers of the company use their streamlined version of QQ at work, it will not work with them." Communication between friends and at the social level will still be done on the school network. This is because many people are unwilling to mix work and life."
Yang Zili relaxed, "That's right, boss."
Then Wu Tao's tone changed, "But having said that, they can't do anything to us, and we essentially can't do anything to them."
"Ah? What should we do?" Yang Zili's mood fluctuated up and down, but he finally became stupid.
Wu Tao thought for a moment, slapped the table and said: "I'll do as you say, we can't do nothing. But you guys in R&D can't do much about this. After all, it's too late to come up with new features now. So. We can only work hard on the content and make the school network more popular."
After saying that, Wu Tao waved his hand: "Go out and call Li Jing."
Not long after, Li Jing came over, sat down at the table, and acted like a professional white-collar beauty.
It has to be said that Li Jing, who played volleyball, has now transformed into a white-collar beauty. The sunny charm she exudes is always outstanding.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Wu Tao withdrew his gaze, crossed his fingers together, put them on the table and said, "That's right. Isn't this the turn of the millennium? I plan to take advantage of the millennium and stir up the popularity of the school network! Now that the registration scale of Xiaonei Network is approaching tens of millions, I am really looking forward to the impact and feedback of this event."
As soon as she mentioned this, Li Jing suddenly became excited, "Boss, what is the theme of the content?"
"How about calling it the Millennium Like Collection Campaign. The rules don't have to be too complicated. The easier it is to participate, the better."
"So how to set up awards and what is the appropriate amount?"
Wu Tao didn't want to discuss these details, so he waved his hand and said: "You make the plan first, and then report it to Mr. Qiu. As for the amount of prizes and so on, let her find a way to get some sponsorship, and then we'll have everything?"
Li Jing was slightly surprised. The boss wanted not to spend a penny this time!
High, really high!
