Chapter 424: Foreseeing the Crisis
Hearing Qiu Wenhua's words, Chen Ping shook his head with a chuckle, and after a moment of faint silence, he said softly: "Mr. Qiu, I appreciate your self-confidence.
However, sometimes, overconfidence is not a good thing. Prior to this, in the process of developing the flash message chat software, I asked you to develop the background monitoring program inside the flash message chat software.
According to my previous settings, this monitoring program can monitor in real time, the entire flash message chat software, chat activity, etc. Are the stats out at the moment?"
Qiu Wenhua nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "It's already out." However, this is based on the data from an hour ago, and there should be a huge gap compared to the current data. ”
Chen Ping also smiled slightly, and then took a document handed over by Qiu Wenhua. After briefly flipping through for a while, Chen Ping's movements also stopped, and his finger lightly clicked on one of the pages of this document. Then, it was returned to Qiu Wenhua in front of him.
With a chuckle, he asked, "Have you paid attention to these data?"
Qiu Wenhua was stunned for a moment, and after carefully looking at these data, he looked up at Chen Ping in front of him with a puzzled face, and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, is there anything wrong with these data?"
Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then his face gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qiu, you are a very good developer.
However, you're not very good at these business things, so I won't blame you for not noticing the anomalies in these data. ”
Then, Chen Ping began to explain in a deep voice. This data shows that before this update, the Flash Messenger chat app had a user base of three million.
Among these three million users, only some of them are online gamer users of Coslight Technology.
However, in just a few hours, we recounted the data and showed that an hour earlier, the number of users of the Flash Messenger chat app had reached as many as 6 million.
In other words, in these few hours, the number of users of the flash message chat software has increased by 3 million. And the growth of these 3 million users, presumably Mr. Qiu can also know, most of them, who are they?"
Qiu Wenhua nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "The vast majority of these 3 million new users should be players and users of several online games under Guangyu Technology Company. ”
Chen Ping chuckled and nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "That's right, that's it." Through the comparison of the two statistics before and after, you can find that the previous data shows that before this update, 3 million, flash message chat software users, chat activity is only 12%.
In other words, only about 1/10 of the active users who use the flash message chat software to chat every day. In other words, there are less than 400,000 of the 3 million users of the flash message chat software, and the real active users.
However, after the growth of data, the number of users of flash message chat software has reached as high as 6 million, and the number of active users has been as high as 65%. What does this mean? Have you ever thought about it?"
Hearing Chen Ping's question, Qiu Wenhua was also completely lost in thought. He knew that Chen Ping's inquiry was by no means untargeted, and there must have been some important factors that he had ignored.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Qiu Wenhua's eyes flashed slightly, and then his face changed slightly.
However, there was still some uncertainty, and he asked in a deep voice: "What Mr. Chen means is that up to 65% of the active users, in fact, the vast majority are new users. That is, the online gamer user of Coslight Technology. ”
Chen Ping chuckled and nodded, affirming Qiu Wenhua's inference. Then he said in a deep voice: "That's true. And this also means that the real main active users of flash message chat software are actually gamers of several online games.
And those who are not gamer users of Guangyu Technology Company are not really active, in fact, it is not too high. ”
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Qiu Wenhua also nodded heavily. He was already somewhat aware of what Chen Ping meant, but at this moment, Qiu Wenhua had no way to really determine Chen Ping's intentions when he said this.
I could only ask softly: "Mr. Chen, does this have any negative impact on the future development of our flash message chat software?"
Chen Ping chuckled and nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Of course it has an impact. This kind of data also means that compared with Tencent's Tencent QQ, there is still an incomparably huge gap between our flash message chat software and Tencent's Tencent QQ.
The vast majority of users who really care about our chat software are still several online gamer users of Guangyu Technology.
Among the real civilian user groups, our flash message chat software actually doesn't have much influence.
In other words, even if all the online gamer users of Guangyu Technology Company start to use flash message chat software, the number of our chat software users will not exceed 50 million at its peak.
This also counts the role of these online gamer users, who will promote our flash message chat software from the side. ”
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Qiu Wenhua's face gradually became heavy, and then nodded slightly. Qiu Wenhua did not refute Chen Ping's judgment.
Because he knew very well that Chen Ping's judgment was very precise. This is a data-based judgment, not an untargeted one.
Because the data shows that the main user group of the current flash message chat software is the users of online games.
Even if the users of these online games, after using the flash message chat software, they like this new chat software and start to promote it to their relatives and friends.
But in fact, such promotion efforts cannot be regarded as extremely powerful. The number of new users brought to the flash message chat software is not as terrifying as imagined.
So as Chen Ping said, even now the number of users of flash message chat software has exploded. But in fact, the peak of the final growth may not exceed 50 million.
Even if it has 50 million users, at that time, the number of users of flash message chat software will grow, and it will fall into a bottleneck period.
Compared with Tencent QQ's 200 million users, there is still an incomparable gap. It was precisely because of this that Qiu Wenhua gradually calmed down, and then began to think carefully about what Chen Ping meant.
After a while, Chen Ping didn't let Qiu Wenhua continue to think, but seemed to be talking to himself and laughed softly: "People have habits, when a person is used to using a thing, if you want him to change such a behavior pattern, the effort required will be several times or even dozens of times more than before."
Nowadays, most domestic netizens, the first choice to use chat software is Tencent QQ. On the one hand, it is because Tencent QQ is indeed an extremely good chat software.
On the other hand, it is also because of the nature of the chat software itself.
The chat software itself is actually a social tool, and the most important thing about this social tool is to communicate with your social circle in another way.
In other words, the biggest purpose of any user of chat software when using chat software is to communicate with their social circle.
And when the vast majority of people in your social circle are using the same chat software, it will be extremely difficult for people to give up this chat software and use a brand new chat software that no one else is using.
At present, our flash message chat software is facing such a situation.
The vast majority of domestic netizens use Tencent QQ, a chat software. Even our flash message chat software, in all aspects, is stronger than Tencent QQ.
But these netizens, the first choice of chat software, I'm afraid it's still Tencent QQ.
Even at present, the users of the flash message chat software who maintain their activity, after a period of time, will gradually reduce their attention to the flash message chat software.
The only thing I pay attention to is probably the chat group. After all, the vast majority of the users of our flash message chat software are players and users of online games.
The function of chat groups makes it more convenient for players of these online games to discuss and communicate with multiple people. But in addition, the chat software they use daily is probably still Tencent QQ.
After all, in their social circles, the chat software used by most people is basically Tencent QQ.
Therefore, after a period of time, the activity data of the flash message chat software will decline significantly, which is almost inevitable.
And most importantly, it's still the best-case scenario. In other words, we have such a big killer as the chat group in our hands, at least we can maintain a certain user activity of the flash message chat software.
But have you ever thought about what kind of situation it would be if the function of the chat group appeared on other chat software, or even on Tencent QQ, a chat software?"
Chen Ping's last sentence suddenly shocked more than a dozen people in the conference room, especially Qiu Wenhua, the manager of the flash letter development department, whose pupils shrank slightly, and then his face changed wildly.
Shen Sheng opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean......?"
Chen Ping also smiled bitterly, then took a deep look at Qiu Wenhua in front of him, and said softly word by word: "Mr. Qiu, don't underestimate Tencent, the development power possessed by Tencent is far from being comparable to our Guangyu Technology Company."
If we at Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. can overcome the development level of the chat group in a few days, then Tencent will be able to overcome such a threshold in a shorter time and launch the same chat group function.
Even our flash message chat software, with all kinds of new features, has applied for patents. But in reality, commercially, Tencent has countless ways to circumvent the so-called patent rights.
They can also introduce similar chat group features, and even a variety of other features that we will be rolling out soon.
So, next, if Tencent launches the same chat group function on Tencent QQ, a chat software, have you ever thought about what kind of situation the flash message chat software will face at that time?
Hearing Chen Ping's words, many people began to look at each other. But before they could react, Chen Ping continued to speak in a deep voice: "It's not just a chat group function.
If it is just copied such a function, it is not a fatal blow to the flash message chat software.
But if Tencent copied several of our other crucial new features one after another, what would the end result be?
