Chapter 423: Just the Beginning
The most important thing is that among the five million users, especially the two million new users who have just emerged later, the vast majority are players and users of several online games under Coslight Technology.
This also means that although these players and users may not know each other in reality, there is a close bond between them, that is, these online games under Coslight Technology.
Several online games under Coslight Technology have social functions. In addition to the stand-alone game "Plants vs. Zombies", "Running Kart", "Dota Map", and "Journey", these three games can be called online games.
There are clan functions in "Running Kart", and in "Journey" games, there are various social functions such as guild families.
As for "Dota Map", although there is no similar function, such a multiplayer real-time competitive game, there are always many people, who will form a fixed team, and a certain degree of socialization is also required.
However, before that, these people were either in the game, using the chat function to chat with each other in multiple people, or offline, one-on-one.
For example, in the game "Journey", when the guild or clan in the game needs to carry out various activities, if they want to gather other players who are not online, they can only notify them one by one through chat software or mobile phone calls.
Some large unions, even numbering hundreds or even thousands, are extremely cumbersome to notify, and there is a high risk of missing out on vital events.
This is extremely inconvenient for these gamers. However, the function of this chat group launched by the flash message chat software has allowed many gamers to see another way of communication.
It is precisely for this reason that the chat group function of the flash message chat software has brought viral growth to the number of users of the flash message chat software.
For example, some of the big guilds and some managers in the "Journey" game, after using the flash message chat software, carefully studied the function of the chat group, and were ecstatic to find that this is simply an artifact for communication between guilds.
Although the flash message chat software developed by Guangyu Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly used on the computer side, in terms of mobile phones, the flash message chat software can also be downloaded and used.
Although many wonderful functions cannot be used on mobile phones due to the limitations of current mobile phone technology, at least the function of chat groups can still appear on mobile phones.
This also means that as long as those players in the guild install a flash message chat software on their mobile phones, they can receive notifications in real time, and even avoid the cost of text messages or phone calls.
Moreover, it is possible to notify hundreds or thousands of people at once, which is far more convenient than using other means to notify.
And after they discovered this novel and convenient function, these game guilds or important members of the family began to spare no effort to promote the flash message chat software.
As long as a guild notices this new feature, it means that dozens or even hundreds of new users will be counted.
After a few hours of brewing, after the update was completed and re-operated, at 4:30 p.m., the background statistics of the flash message chat software showed that the number of users of the flash message chat software increased, in a close to crazy attitude, constantly climbing upward.
Around 4:00, the number of users of the flash message chat software was only about 6 million, but by 5:00, the number of users of the flash message chat software had officially exceeded 10 million.
This means that in less than 5 hours, the number of users of the flash message chat software has increased by as much as 7 million.
With such a terrifying growth rate in the number of users, not to mention the outside world, even those employees of the flash letter development department of Guangyu Technology Company were dumbfounded.
And with the increasing number of users of flash message chat software, the rate of growth has not slowed down.
You know, these online gamers, although when they first use this chat software, most of them are based on the communication about online games, which is more convenient. But in fact, these online gamers also have their own network of connections in reality.
It is precisely because of this that the flash message chat software has allowed them to see another new social model.
On December 1, a whole afternoon, millions of netizens in China began to be dazzled by this chat software that suddenly appeared in their field of vision.
Just when hundreds of employees of the Flash Letter Development Department of Guangyu Technology Company were nervously paying attention to the background data of the Flash Letter chat software, Chen Ping's figure appeared in the office hall of the Flash Letter Development Department, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
For Chen Ping's arrival, even Qiu Wenhua was a little surprised, and looked at Chen Ping suspiciously. But before Qiu Wenhua could speak in front of Chen Ping, Chen Ping had already waved his hand gently.
Then with a smile, he crossed Qiu Wenhua in front of him, came to the front of everyone, and said with a chuckle: "Take up a few minutes of everyone's time, I have something to say." ”
Hearing Chen Ping's words, hundreds of employees of the flash letter development department in the office hall all looked at it one after another.
Chen Ping also smiled slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone should have noticed that the number of users of the flash message chat software has increased significantly in just a few hours.
According to such a growth trend, in a very short period of time, flash message chat software is likely to become the second largest chat software in China.
But this is just the beginning, and it doesn't mean we've succeeded. Because in front of us, there is also a feared behemoth, which is the well-known Tencent.
Tencent QQ, a subsidiary of Tencent, has dozens of times the number of users we have. According to Tencent's internal statistics a month ago, the number of Tencent QQ users has exceeded 200 million.
The gap between us is still obvious. Even if we now have a promising outlook for everyone. But in fact, this does not mean that we will be able to achieve the ultimate victory when we compete with Tencent in the market.
On the contrary, I believe that Tencent will be our biggest rival for the next period of time. It is not even ruled out that in this competition, we will eventually lose completely.
Even in our hands, we still hold more than a dozen of the most critical technologies. Holding a good hand, but that doesn't mean Tencent won't have the power to fight back.
In my opinion, on the contrary, Tencent's strength is something that we can't compete with head-on at this stage, and the killer features we have in our hands can only narrow the gap between us and Tencent. ”
Hearing Chen Ping's words, hundreds of employees in the office hall began to look at each other, and even Qiu Wenhua on the side was slightly stunned.
They had been following Chen Ping for quite a short time, and before that, Chen Ping had never said such a depressing word. This is clearly to grow the morale of others and extinguish their own prestige.
For a while, many people's eyes showed a bit of doubt. But then, Chen Ping smiled faintly: "Don't think I'm alarmist, what happens next will confirm what I said."
However, I don't say this to discourage everyone, but to remind you that this battle between us and Tencent is just the beginning, not the end.
For a long time to come, we will face an extremely dire situation, and any of the slightest carelessness could completely destroy the fruits of our efforts during this time.
So I hope that even if we have achieved what we have achieved now, we will not take it lightly. On the contrary, I hope that everyone here can raise the spirit of 120,000 to deal with the series of changes that may occur in the future.
Of course, I, Chen Ping, will never fight unprepared battles, and I have already guessed and expected all the changes that may occur next.
Although Tencent is strong, it is not impossible to defeat. What we need to do next is to expand the results of the battle step by step and stabilize the situation.
In the next half month, I will often sit in Coslight Technology Company to make adequate preparations for the next battle. ”
After speaking, Chen Ping also turned his head to glance at Qiu Wenhua beside him, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qiu, summon the middle-level and above managers of the flash letter development department, and let's go to the conference room for a simple meeting."
The others were divided into three groups, the first group always paid attention to Tencent's movements, the second group paid attention to the reactions of other chat software companies in the market, and the third group counted and monitored the background data of the flash message chat software. If anything happens, come and let me know immediately. ”
Hearing Chen Ping's words, everyone in the office hall nodded as if they didn't understand. Even Qiu Wenhua was a little confused.
Obviously, the current flash message chat software is already a good situation. Even Qiu Wenhua is sure that as long as this development continues, with the increasing number of users of the flash message chat software, the function of the chat group will also be developed to the greatest extent.
Then, the development department of Flash Letter can invest more than a dozen new achievements that have been developed at one time. A variety of new features will completely push the flash message chat software to the altar.
At least in the chat software itself, the various functions and exquisiteness of the flash message chat software, etc., are above the current Tencent QQ.
With such a big killer in his hands, Qiu Wenhua really can't think of any reason why he can lose in the battle between flash message chat software and Tencent QQ to compete for the market.
However, for Chen Ping's words, Qiu Wenhua naturally would not show opposition in front of these ordinary employees. After just nodding heavily, he quickly ordered the hundreds of employees of the flash letter development department to divide into three groups.
Then, more than a dozen middle-level and above managers came to the conference room with Chen Ping and Qiu Wenhua.
After coming to the conference room, Qiu Wenhua finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, looked deeply at Chen Ping in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, although Tencent is powerful, it is not invincible.
At present, in Tencent, although the flagship product is Tencent QQ, in fact, Tencent's real strength is its comprehensive development method.
Tencent's strongest point lies in their funding. As for Tencent QQ, compared with the chat software we developed, there are still some gaps.
And purely in terms of competition in chat software, I have full confidence that with the technology we have mastered, we can definitely cut Tencent QQ off the horse.
As long as I am given three months, I can make the flash message chat software completely replace the position of Tencent QQ and become the most popular chat software in China.
