Chapter 87: Strong Suppression
Yigou shines in the island country's tourism market, which makes Youdao unable to sit still.
U-Dao Translator also belongs to the free + paid form.
The free fee is mainly for short voice and text translations, and the charge is mainly for human translation. Among them, the most commonly used human translation is the translation of papers and materials.
It seems that it is determined to nip the translation dog in the bud, and U-Dao announced on July 23 that all manual translations are free! And U-Dao's big move is that the human translator can talk to each other to understand, and even let the manual explain the translated materials, and the result of the paper translation will not exceed 24 hours at the latest.
"We are not robots, we are messengers who love translation and build language communication bridges!"
This is the latest slogan of Youdao.
The point is very clear! The translation dog uses machine translation, and Youdao uses manual translation.
Even if the machine translation of Youdao was not as accurate as the machine translation of the dog in the past, now with the big move of human translation, the two are almost the same.
Moreover, there is a fee for Yigou to translate papers, and U-Dao is now free of charge indefinitely, and you can also communicate with translators.
U-Dao supports more than 100 languages, and Yigou supports two languages.
The most emotionless is the consumer, consumers don't want to be sentimental more often, they want to be cost-effective, which one is cheaper to use.
There is an Internet giant network wing with a quarterly net income of 15 billion behind Youdao, and it will be free for as long as you want, until you kill the translation dog.
The second step of Youdao is to launch a WeChat plug-in, which fully replaces WeChat online translation and realizes the voice machine translation function, although the accuracy is not as high as the original translation dog, but it is a lot more convenient.
The third step is to implement travel translation services for island countries and stick countries, supplemented by machine translation, and you can find U-Dao translators and travel human translation assistants at any time in the travel project to translate for you instantly.
The travel translation service is free for half a year, and a fee plan will be established after half a year.
After Youdao launched the three-step process of killing the dog in a short period of time, the office area of the dog was silent.
Ma Yanjun's face was very bad, "At present, the installed capacity is only 910,000, and there are a little more than 10,000 online users, and the number is still declining, and there are less than 3,000 paying users." ”
Netizens have also made their own choices on the internet.
"Wow, wow, wow! Youdao human translations are all free!
"It supports more than 100 languages, which is quite cost-effective, and it is a loss if you don't use it now!"
"The paper and the explanation!
"There are professional human translation assistants for island country travel, and although the experience effect is not as good as that of the translation dog, it is free!"
The cruelty of the Internet is beyond everyone's imagination, and in the case of a small gap in quality, who will charge for it?
Ma Yanjun added: "Most of our remaining paying users are interested in Yigou's fast translation speed and are translating urgently needed documents. ”
"Otherwise, we'll be free too!" Qianyi noticed.
Gratis?
Xiao Ming thought of the original online car-hailing war, Didi spent tens of billions of dollars in order to win the market, acquired UBER, and killed more than 30 online car-hailing companies such as Kuai, Shaky, Baimi, Dudu, Taxi Secretary, and Bumblebee. Again, Didi tied the penguin's thigh.
The takeaway war burns tens of billions a year, leaving only the two giants of Meituan and Ele.me, the former to Penguin and the latter to Ali.
In the bike-sharing war some time ago, the first-line OFO, Mobike and other crazy financing smashed billions, and the second-line Xiaolanche, Xiaoming Bicycle, Cool Ride, etc. also frantically financed tens of millions to hundreds of millions in order to grab the market. And then there's Harrow, which came to the fore.
During this period, OFO first took refuge in Didi (penguin) and then Ali, Mobike took refuge in Penguin, and Harrow sold to Yongan (behind which is Ali). The battle is not over yet, the second-tier bicycles are almost dead, and OFO is dying.
This is the Internet market, and how many ashes are behind the seemingly prosperous market.
In the translation market, Youdao has always been the boss, followed by Baidu and Jinshan, but there is no intention to challenge the authority, and everyone is fine.
Now that the translation dog is coming, it is accurate to hit Youdao, although there are only one million users, but it has already had the momentum to challenge the leader of Youdao, and it is strange that Youdao is not powerful!
Qianyi said that the translation dog is free.
There is only Xiao Ming behind Yigou, and there is only a little more than one million cash on the books.
If it's free, then it means that Yigou doesn't have any income, and the server, salary, rent, etc. have to be paid.
How long can a million burn?
What's more, free is only the first step in the battle, to compete with Youdao for the market, Xiao Ming is bound to open multiple languages, provide more services, have better servers and more employees to fight with Youdao on the battlefield.
How long can a million burn?
Behind Youdao is a 10-billion-meter knife-level net wing, what about the dog?
One million soft sister coins against tens of billions of rice knives, Xiao Ming is afraid that it will not be enough to burn the money if he sells the old Xiao family.
If Xiao Ming wants to face the battle, there is only one last step, and like most Internet companies, he relies on financing and investing in Internet unicorn companies.
Financing burns money to fight a war or financing to invest in unicorn companies. If you lose, you will go bankrupt and become the ashes of Internet history, and if you win, you can't say whether you will win as badly as OFO.
Don't end up burning yourself and making wedding dresses for others.
Xiao Ming has Pan Shaxing's technology, and he is confident that he will be able to complete the explosion in science and technology. But he is not a genius or a superman, and he is self-aware, and he may not be able to play with those capital giants on the battlefield of capital.
"Or let's advertise on the software to maintain the operation, and then make it free. Qianyi had another idea.
Ma Yanjun obviously saw it much more thoroughly than Qianyi, "Youdao this time he reported the idea of fighting to the death with us, and your method will not work." ”
Ma Yanjun also has a headache, and it is really an honor for the start-up company to enjoy such a strong treatment from predators.
Everyone looked at Xiao Ming.
Qian Yi was a little unbearable, after all, Xiao Ming was only eighteen years old.
Halfway through, Xiao Mingcai said, "Don't pay attention to it, what should we do." Only English and Japanese have emergency information translations, and Yigou will always have users. ”
Xiao Ming began to arrange the task: "Brother Ma, you collect the language libraries of French and German, and strive to launch a travel translation project for two countries in a week. We compete with Youdao dislocation, our language library doesn't cost money, their labor costs money. Our current task is not to compete with them for the market, but to live happily, with monthly wages and year-end bonuses at the end of the year. ”
"I understand!" Ma Yanjun knew that it was not cost-effective or worth it to fight against Youdao with Yigou's current size.
Xiao Ming said: "It's time to release Ozawa's voice. ”
At this time, various financial institutions at home and abroad saw the translation dog like a hungry wolf, and they would enthusiastically throw olive branches.
