Chapter 627: The End of the Social Mode
In early July 2009, the iphone3GS mobile phone began to be officially sold in mainland China.
Even the scorching summer days can't stop the enthusiasm of these apple fans.
From a distance, the queue at the entrance of the store is an endless queue.
Liu Yun pointed to the pictures on the computer and smiled at Wu Qiang: "Manager Wu, you said that our leisurely smart phone, when new products are on sale one day, can it also have such a spectacular scene?"
Wu Qiang looked at the picture, was stunned for a while, and said with some envy: "If I boast about Haikou and say that it must be okay, it seems a bit perfunctory and unrealistic." But I'm trying my best to achieve this goal. ”
After a pause, he continued: "If one day, our mobile phone sales can also have this kind of grand occasion, it will really be in vain. ”
Liu Yun pulled out a chair, stood up and said: "I know it's difficult, but I don't need to be in a hurry, the smart phone market is very big, so big that it can be monopolized by just a few companies, we do our best, the first goal is to survive first." ”
The iPhone 3GS is the third generation of iPhone launched by Apple, as an upgrade of the iPhone 3G, the S in the 3GS stands for Speed.
It has faster running processing speed and 3G network loading speed, bringing speed improvement to people's wonderful lives.
If Apple will launch the iPhone 4 mobile phone next year, it will officially open the era of mobile Internet, and this model, known as the "God mobile phone", will also bring great changes to the smart phone market.
But now the iPhone 3GS has just been launched, which means that Apple has begun to make official efforts.
The iPhone 3GS allowed Apple to establish an advantage in the mobile phone space, while the iPhone 4 established their dominance.
Liu Yun thought for a while, took out the parallel mobile phone he bought from Hong Kong from the drawer, and stared at the green and white icon on it, Youxin, for a while.
"The matter of smart phones can be put aside first, after all, with Yoyo's current pricing, the basic disk can still be kept. As for Youxin, shouldn't you exert your strength now?" he hesitated, unable to make up his mind.
......
As Zhang Xiaolong expected, the hot sales of the iPhone 3GS have also increased significantly in the number of users along with Youxin.
Yoyo's water army continues to build momentum on the Internet, so that the software has a certain popularity among young people.
Especially since Yoyo launched a new feature - Find People Nearby, many young people will smile meaningfully when they mention it.
At least today's text messaging doesn't have this feature.
Zhang Xiaolong took advantage of the victory and launched a new function, imitating QQ by adding various emojis to the chat box.
Throughout June, with the hot sale of the iPhone 3GS and the steady increase in the number of Android devices, the number of registered users has exceeded 50,000.
It's just that at this time, Liu Yun fell into a dilemma.
Today's Youxin can be verified and registered through a mobile phone number, or you can register directly with a Yoyo pass, which is not much of a problem in terms of channels.
After scanning the phone's address book, users can find out who is really using Uxin, so that they can add friends directly.
As for the next step, to promote it online on a large scale and in all directions, Liu Yun has been pressing it in his hands and has not agreed.
Now, due to the short period of time, Tencent has not noticed Yoyo's move.
They are just one of the many mobile APP products launched by Youxin.
Since in the Weibo market, Youyou has been pressing Tencent, Zhang Xiaolong thought of a way.
He thought Liu Yun made a suggestion: "Can we import Weibo friends into Youxin?"
Liu Yun's first reaction after hearing this, he felt that this method was good, and he just wanted to agree to this method, but suddenly thought that there were so many zombie fans in his account, and he realized the problem.
"No, it won't work. He immediately replied, "Youxin is a social software with a relatively high level of privacy, while Weibo is public. There isn't much compatibility between the two. ”
"For example, you don't actually want your Weibo friends to add your Youxin, but you can accept your friends to add you to Weibo. One is private and the other is open, completely different. ”
Zhang Xiaolong thought about it carefully and felt that there seemed to be some truth.
He is the first person in charge of Weibo, understands its characteristics, and understands the boss's thoughts.
"But in this case, I can't think of a suitable means of promotion. Zhang Xiaolong sighed lightly, "It would be nice if we also had similar QQ software." ”
Liu Yun shook his head and said: "Originally, I also thought that having software like QQ would make the promotion of Youxin twice as effective with half the effort, but now my mind has changed a little. ”
Zhang Xiaolong frowned slightly, listening to Liu Yun's analysis.
"Our core is still the address book, and that's the key. Because the people in your address book are the ones you often need to contact. ”
"But ......" Zhang Xiaolong seemed to want to explain something, but he couldn't find the right words for a while, so he had to say, "It's a lot more convenient after all." ”
Liu Yun smiled indifferently and said, "Manager Zhang, if you have a good chat with a netizen, what is the next step?"
Zhang Xiaolong thought for a while, his eyes lit up and he replied, "Add each other's mobile phone numbers?"
Liu Yun snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "This is what I thought of when I thought carefully about the order of social patterns. ”
He remembers that almost in 2015, it was completely stripped away, although there had been QQ drainage before, which improved the non-negligible boost for the growth of WeChat, but after leaving only a mobile phone address book, the active users did not decline but rose.
Liu Yun suddenly noticed one thing: the original social mode was that QQ chatted well, and the two would add each other's mobile phone numbers.
And adding each other's mobile phone numbers is an end point in today's social model.
The emergence of WeChat has changed the mode of adding mobile phones from a full stop to a comma, and the social mode has continued to extend, and WeChat has become a new endpoint.
Recalling the scenes of his previous life, Liu Yun realized the possibility of overtaking himself purely in the corner.
In fact, it is the same as Weibo, you don't want all QQ friends to become your Youxin friends. Liu Yun flashed his eyes and gave his own judgment, "Do you think this is the reason?"
Zhang Xiaolong is worthy of being an outstanding professional manager in the business, he understood the meaning of the boss, and quickly realized the key point of this product: irreplaceable privacy.
"When we advertise a product, we should emphasize its privacy. It's the real end point in social mode!"
QQ - > mobile phone - > Youxin.
QQ is before the phone's address book, while U-Faith is after the phone's address book.
The number of U-trust friends you want < the number of people in your phone's address book, and the number of U-trust people you want to add is basically within the scope of your address book.
We can completely get past the existence of QQ.
Liu Yun cleared his throat and continued: "Regarding Youxin, we must emphasize its secrecy in our publicity, and its future functions will also be developed around this point. ”
"Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to their privacy. Our positioning of Uxin is a mobile terminal-based communication software for those close friends and important working partners who can keep in touch with each other and communicate closely. ”
