Chapter 420 [This year's Internet circle is really lively]

In fact, as the overlord of the domestic instant messaging field, now that the era of mobile Internet has arrived, it is natural that it will not be indifferent to the changes of the times. Also in the past few days, the product team of Goose Factory's R\u0026D center in Huadu has been working as the team manager. Zhang Xiaolong started the development of mobile instant messaging under the leadership of Zhang Xiaolong.

Zhang Xiaolong had previously developed Foxmail and QQ mailboxes and other well-received products in the industry. However, there are other teams in Goose Factory who are also engaged in PK competition with each other. That is, which team wins the product PK, and Goose Factory will be big. Tilt resources at scale.

However, at the press conference at this moment, Xu Jingren came to the workbench on the side of the stage. He picked up an S1-Plus smartphone owned by Xingyu Technology, and projected the screen on the big screen on the stage.

All the attendees at the scene looked at the big screen.

Xu Jingren clicked on the WeChat APP application icon on his mobile phone, and said at the same time: "WeChat version 1.0 supports platforms such as TOS, iOS, and Android, and can communicate across platforms. In addition to instant messaging, version 1.0 supports sharing photos, music, functions such as video and changing avatars.”

At this moment, Fang Hong, who was sitting in the audience area, heard the voices of two industry insiders whispering next to him, and one of them shook his head repeatedly and said: "The function is too simple and there is no innovation. To be honest, I am not optimistic about WeChat. It can threaten Goose Factory’s dominance in the social field, and frankly speaking, it’s a bit disappointing if it’s just like this.”

Many industry insiders who attended the conference were generally not very optimistic about the functions displayed by WeChat at the moment.

Fang Hong smiled inwardly. Of course, the 1.0 version of WeChat will not be the only ones, but it will definitely not play all the good cards in his hand. The month will be imitated by competing copies.

In fact, Fang Hong has already learned from Xu Jingren that the WeChat team is conducting an internal test of version 2.0, and this version will add the function of "viewing nearby people". This is a bomb.

According to Fang Hong’s promotion strategy for WeChat, new functions such as “shake” and drift bottle will be added in version 3.0. The “shake” function is very creative and interesting, which can further increase WeChat’s social interaction. Attributes.

In the 4.0 version, the circle of friends will come out, and at the same time, the function of photo album will be added, and the album can be shared with the circle of friends. Not surprisingly, the launch of the circle of friends is another bomb.

It is impossible to play all these cards at once, one by one. When the competitor just copied the previous idea, Quantum Beat’s WeChat immediately launched a new function, so as to maintain a continuous lead among all peers, so that WeChat is always at the forefront of fashion and creative elements, so that WeChat is the most fun, freshest and most fashionable in the minds of users.

But at this moment, Xu Jingren on the stage said: "I remember chatting with a friend two years ago, when talking about the development of the Internet in China and North America, he called the current development of the Internet in the mainland the 'C2C' model, that is, 'Copy-to- -The meaning of China'."

Everyone was puzzled when they heard "C2C" at first, but then suddenly realized, and then there was a burst of laughter at the press conference.

Xu Jingren said with a smile: "Basically, the mainland Internet copied the business model of the North American Internet, such as Souhu, which was founded after Yahoo, Baidu, which was founded after Google, Youku Tudou, which was founded after Youtub, etc..."

After a while, Xu Jingren said again: "It seems that the models that can be copied are basically copied all over the place? What should we do when there is no copy? The answer we give is Innovation-to-China. A great company will inevitably bring great Innovation."

Xu Jingren looked at the participants present and said: "In the 1.0 version of WeChat, we have brought some new innovations to mobile instant messaging. The first is the function of WeChat scanning the mobile phone address book. With this method, you can know who is among your friends. using the app."

The function of scanning the mobile phone address book made the eyes of the industry insiders shine, and Xu Jingren continued: "At the same time, WeChat is associated with Weibo. If you have a Weibo account, you can directly authorize the connection and log in with one click. You also have When you have a Weibo account, you can also scan the list of friends who follow each other on Weibo, and you will know who among your friends who follow each other on Weibo is using this app."

At this point in the press conference, many people in the industry began to pay attention to it, and Xiao Ma, who was secretly observing, was a little less calm.

The function of scanning the address book and scanning the function of mutual relations and friends on Weibo, this idea is very imaginative.

Anyone with a discerning eye will immediately understand that Quantum Jump makes WeChat and Weibo highly related, especially by scanning Weibo friends who follow each other, you can know whether the other party is using the WeChat app. Weibo, which has more than 200 million users, is not enough to drain WeChat. underestimate.

Xu Jingren said in an orderly manner: "WeChat and Weibo private messages can communicate with each other and realize cross-app private chat, that is to say, I use WeChat and you use Weibo, and we can communicate between two different apps. "

Under the surprised eyes of all the participants, Xu Jingren said with a smile: "The innovation brought by WeChat to the field of instant messaging is not limited to this. We also innovatively added the function of scanning the QR code to add friends. It is more convenient for users to add friends. You just need to scan it."

Having said that, Xu Jingren once again picked up the S1-Plus smartphone and demonstrated the function of scanning the QR code for everyone on the spot.

The participants at the scene couldn't help but feel surprised.

Obviously, this new product of WeChat has greatly exceeded their expectations, and Xu Jingren said: "On this basis, our development team has added a voice conversation function to WeChat, based on voice recording and voice transmission, to provide users with Peer-to-peer dialogue, unlike purely text-based messaging, relies on quick and instant voice transmission to better express users' emotions."

After Xu Jingren finished speaking, he demonstrated the voice call function for the audience again. The audience was very surprised, and even more surprised by the innovative ability of Quantum Beat.

Fang Hong, who was sitting in the auditorium, heard the voice of the insider next to him again, but this time his attitude changed drastically, and he said in amazement: "I was careless. I dare not say how the market reacts, but Quantum Jump is indeed trying to break out of the 'C2C' model, without Copy-to-China but with its own innovation."

The friend next to him suddenly smiled and said, "I'm starting to look forward to whether Quantum Beat's WeChat can shake the status of Goose Factory's social overlord, and it may not be impossible."

The main content elements of WeChat version 1.0 are basically introduced by Xu Jingren. The first version is like releasing these. More new functions and innovations will be launched through iterations in the follow-up to ensure that WeChat continues to lead competitors.

...

As soon as the press conference is over, people can download the APP directly on the Internet that day. Among them, the fastest app store is the TOS app store of Xingyu Technology, which is directly given to the most eye-catching position on the homepage.

People from all walks of life who came to the scene also downloaded WeChat to experience it for the first time after the press conference.

At this moment, an industry insider is holding a mobile phone to experience the newly downloaded WeChat, and at the same time commented: "Goose Factory should be nervous. I dare to say that this function of scanning the mobile phone address book will definitely detonate the number of registrations."

This person is the industry insider who sat next to Fang Hong at the previous press conference. After personally experiencing it, his evaluation of WeChat has reached a new level. Introducing China Unicom as its major shareholder, this series of innovations, a series of layout...Xu Jingren is not easy."

He couldn't help but gloated and said, "Goose Factory probably can't sleep now. The 3Q surge is getting worse. At this juncture, a potential competitor has emerged to raid the instant social communication field that is the lifeblood of Goose Factory. , This year's Internet circle is really lively."
