Chapter 467: William's Facebook (Fourth Update)
Everyone looked at Li Zetian with puzzled eyes.
Li Zetian smiled faintly and began to carefully explain his thoughts to everyone.
After half a ring, everyone suddenly realized and looked shocked, admiring Li Zetian.
“Mr· Li, I was almost scared to death just now, I really thought World of Warcraft was going to be free? Well, this item is really innovative!" Mike Mohan laughed.
Ma Huateng, this is the first time to feel Li Zetian's domineering side leakage and world-class talent at close range.
Nowadays, the mainstream charge of online games is point card charging, but he did the opposite, proposing to abolish the point card charging model, promoting that the game is free, and using props to charge, if players don't buy props, it really doesn't cost a penny.
At first glance, this idea is very silly, but after thinking about it carefully, especially after listening to Li Zetian's analysis just now, Ma Huateng feels that this is the inevitable way for online games to go in the future!
Ma Huateng had to sigh in his heart that his big boss was really awesome, and it was worth learning for a lifetime.
Li Zetian glanced at Ma Huateng, and a subtle smile appeared on his face: "Hehe, Ma Huateng was deeply shocked by me!"
Li Zetian walked over at this time, patted Ma Huateng's shoulder, and asked, "Ma Huateng, did you understand what I just said?"
"Understood!" Ma Huateng nodded and said very seriously, "Mr. · Li, your idea is unique and different from ordinary people, and it also points out the operation and charging model of online games in the future! I simply admire you, like the water of the Yangtze River!"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "It's nothing, many people can think of it." Shanda Group's "World of Legends" was released, is it popular in China?
Ma Huateng nodded and said, "It's very hot." Because many people have played "Legend of Blood", once "World of Legends" was released, there were many fans who supported it!"
"Well, but it doesn't matter, "World of Legends" is a shoddy work after all, and there are many plug-ins and private servers, and the game will collapse sooner or later. "World of Warcraft" should learn from it, and it is absolutely necessary to put an end to the existence of plug-ins!"
"Yes, I understand!"
A few days later, Ma Huateng returned to China.
Blizzard has decided to develop more items during the open beta.
……
SoftBank and Shanda Group are planning to get rid of Tencent, so they attach great importance to Shanda IM and send the company's strongest software development team to conduct product research and development. In fact, it is not so difficult to develop IM (communication software), and many college students can complete basic functions in just a few hours, let alone a large company like Shanda Group.
In addition, Shanda Group will definitely plagiarize Tencent's QQ software, which goes without saying, so the development speed will be faster, and a test version will be made in a week or two. And before Christmas, a more mature product has been born.
Chen Tianqiao announced that Shanda IM was officially released on January 1, 2004, and it was a good luck for the New Year.
In addition to acting as an agent for "World of Warcraft", Tencent Games also has several games developed by itself.
The first: "QQ Tang", plagiarized Shanda's "Bubble Hall" in 2002, which was the exclusive agent of South Korea's NEXON company. Shanda IM plagiarized Tencent qq, and the speed of development was very fast, and naturally "QQ Tang" copied "Bubble Hall", and the speed of development was also very fast, and everyone was each other.
The second: "Crossfire", well, plagiarism is what everyone knows.
The third: "QQ Fantasy", NetEase's "Fantasy Journey to the West" just released not long ago has been targeted by Tencent, hmm...... Mr. Ma can, just take office and carry out plagiarism to the end!
NetEase's self-developed Q version of "Fantasy Journey to the West" is very popular, no worse than "Legendary World", not only boys love to play, but even girls like this game very much, it belongs to the genre of both men and women.
NetEase can be regarded as going out of its own way and cultivating its own game development team, and more products will be released in the future.
At present, several major portals in China are very mixed with NetEase.
Sina and Sohu are both a bit "miserable".
……
During Christmas, colleges and universities across the United States are closed.
William also returned home.
"Facebook has been developed?" asked Li Zetian casually at dinner.
William nodded excitedly, his mouth was like a machine gun and he couldn't stop at all, and told Li Zetian in detail about the development of Facebook.
William recruited six college students at Stanford University and developed the Facebook site in a month and a half.
"On the morning of December 24th, Facebook officially released it, but during this school holiday, many people went home, and I plan to wait for the new semester to start and send people to promote it in the school. ”
Stanley Milgram, a famous psychology professor at Harvard University, created the theory of six degrees of separation in 1967, and its core idea is that there will be no more than 6 people between you and any stranger, that is, you can know any stranger through a maximum of 6 people! According to the theory of six degrees of separation, each individual's social circle is constantly enlarged, and finally it becomes a large network!"
"So, even though we're only doing college socials now, we're looking at the whole world!"
William confidently: "There are many websites that do SNS (social networking services), but Facebook has its own original elements. ”
"The first is the provision of ancillary online services to pre-existing physical communities, such as by providing university students with information services that are not accessible to physical communities, which is an interactive student guide that includes each student's lesson plans and social networks. Instead of creating a new community that didn't exist before, Facebook is providing a more important information and communication service to the physical community that already exists!
Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction, it was a good decision to serve other communities when his own strength was weak, so as to grow rapidly. Didn't Google also serve Yahoo back then, and finally achieved its own?
"Second," William continued, "Facebook created the ideal online service by restricting user registration! This was a very important decision for Facebook, which initially allowed users to register with the email of the school domain to ensure the authenticity of the users, and then gradually spread from the eastern universities of the United States to the universities of the United States, and then gradually to Europe and the rest of the world through word-of-mouth marketing. The original purpose of this decision was to make users feel that Facebook was exclusive, different, and a social networking site that only belonged to the elite of universities. ”
"Like things gather, people divide into groups!" College students will be proud to be on Facebook!"
"Different from other SNS social networking sites, we are a real-name system, based on the user's real social relationship, so the user stickiness is very large, and it is easy to attract more users to join, for example, a college student wants to know his classmates, or the goddess of his crush, but is embarrassed to go to her in person, then you can easily understand the other party's situation by using Facebook. There are many ways to build a relationship chain, and this is a social chain based on 'search'!"
William Kaikai talked, full of confidence, and had a kind of guiding style.
Well, it's my species!
Li Zetian was satisfied.
Li Youran was also listening, his eyes looked William up and down, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "I can't see it, you guy is usually so fun-loving, and you even have a bit of business acumen!"
William glared at her and said proudly, "Just kidding, don't look at who I am!"
Yu Jingqiu said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it yet, when you finish speaking, the food will be cold." ”
Li Zetian said to William and Youran: "Okay, let's eat first!"
"Oh......"
