Chapter 124 The hidden worries behind the popularity
The time came to the end of November, although Bubble and UC also followed up with QQ's QQ group service, Bubble Group and UC Group Chat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, due to the influence of the first-mover advantage of the QQ group, it has included a considerable number of netizens. The group launched by Bubble and the group chat launched by UC were received by the market coldly, and although the number of real-time online users did not decline further, it seemed that people could not see the slightest vitality.
During this time, the industry was surging, and many media that were originally optimistic about QQ began to advocate QQ.
The first is the "Herald" of the Internet industry, which said in the article that QQ has become a must-have software for Chinese netizens, and even for many netizens, they can not know portals, BBS, etc., but they must know QQ!
At the end of the article, it also warns many Internet companies that have entered the field of instant messaging, focus on what is in front of you, and stop engaging in instant messaging as a side business. QQ has gained a firm foothold in this industry, and it is not something that any opponent can shake!
Seeing this general trend, the "Communication World", which had originally criticized Weixin and Su Wen, immediately turned around and vigorously advocated QQ and Su Wen.
The article directly stated that the QQ group is a revolutionary creation in the field of instant messaging.
And Su Wen, who led Weixin to develop the service of QQ group, was also evaluated as a genius with forward-looking vision!
Fuxing Road, Fengwei District, Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou Daily Office Building.
Jiangzhou Daily Editor-in-Chief Office.
The man sitting in the leather chair asked anxiously to the man standing across from him. "Have you gotten the materials?"
The person who spoke was Wang Minghui, the editor-in-chief of Jiangzhou Daily, and standing opposite him was his subordinate Pei Chenghu.
Pei Chenghu patted the folder on his hand and said. "I've got it, is it tomorrow's front page announcement?"
Wang Minghui was a little uneasy and said. "I'll take a look first. ”
Pei Chenghu handed over the documents in his hand to Wang Minghui as he said.
After a long time, Wang Minghui put down the documents in his hand and nodded. "I'll publish this on the front page of tomorrow. ”
November 29th
The headline on the front page of the latest issue of Jiangzhou Daily is "As of yesterday, the number of QQ groups created has reached 720,000!"
The news of Jiangzhou Daily does not have only one headline, and there are many data in the article that QQ does not know.
For example, the number of QQ registrations is disclosed in the article, 47 million!
The number of real-time online users of QQ is also disclosed in the article, and the highest number of real-time online people of QQ per day is 1.63 million!
Jiangzhou Daily's report can be said to have shaken out the bottom of QQ in one fell swoop.
For a time, the article published by Jiangzhou Daily was hotly discussed by the industry, and at the same time that the sales of the newspaper soared, many peers sent applications to Jiangzhou Daily to reprint the report.
Before seeing these real data, most people only knew that QQ groups were popular and QQ was very popular, but as soon as this report came out, and with the disclosure of various QQ data, it completely made opponents in the instant messaging field feel desperate!
Originally, the heated discussion caused by Su Wen has cooled down, but with this report from Jiangzhou Daily. Many media outlets once again began to focus on WeChat, asking Weixin whether the articles published by Jiangzhou Daily were authentic.
In the face of these media inquiries, Weixin has remained silent.
WeChat, in Su Wen's office.
Su Wen said to Wu Xiaoguang, who was standing in front of him. "Be sure to find out who leaked the data. ”
The data obtained by Weixin from UC and Bubble basically depends on estimates, and if no one makes an internal response to Jiangzhou Daily, Su Wen does not believe that Jiangzhou Daily can grasp such accurate QQ data.
The last time the news broke the news that Weixin made six million in three days, Su Wen has not yet settled accounts with Jiangzhou Daily. I didn't expect to come back this time, and once again disclosed the data hidden by WeChat, which was a bit endless.
Although the impact of this report was not large, the data has always been a corporate secret.
Like today's three major portals, will they be stupid to disclose how many users they have?
This time, Jiangzhou Daily made these data public, completely making WeChat News no secrets at all.
Although it is not passive, it can easily become a target for opponents' research!
This is also the reason why Su Wen made up his mind to find out this inner ghost.
There is this Jiangzhou Daily in the internal response of the micro message, which makes people feel like a man on their backs, which is very uncomfortable.
After Wu Xiaoguang was ordered to go out, Su Wen stayed alone in the office.
During this time, although the QQ group was popular, there were things that worried Su Wen within WeChat.
QQ Farm and QQ Ranch, two cash cows, have been online for nearly ten months since they were launched on February 8.
In the past November, for the first time, there was a decline in active users and a decrease in income, which made Su Wen more worried.
Although the magnitude is not large, there is already this trend, which proves that QQ Farm has lost its original attraction to users.
QQ Farm was a game with a short lifespan in the previous life, and it may not be able to change this fate in this life.
Su Wen can only plan for this early, if he loses the two cash cows of the farm and the ranch store, Weixin will only be left with QQ Show and Mobile QQ, two money-making projects.
In the case of rising operating costs, relying on these two money-making projects alone is not enough to maintain the daily expenses of WeChat.
What's more, there are still so many opponents eyeing each other, which can't tolerate micro-messaging to make mistakes, and every step must be extra cautious!
China's Internet has experienced the portal as king, the rise of online games, the victory of search, the advent of online literature, the e-commerce melee, and the battle of thousands of regiments!
Now is the era when portals are king, which makes Su Wen begin to seriously consider whether he can enter the portal industry.
Advertising has always been the weak point of WeChat, and it can even be said that since Su Wen took over, Weixin has not received a single advertisement, which is an embarrassing fact, but I have to admit it.
That's why Su Wen wanted to enter the portal, and advertising has always been a source of income for the portal.
Wangyi and Sina portals have entered the field of instant messaging, why can't WeChat enter the portal industry?
However, if you want to enter the portal, a good domain name is quite important.
Su Wen once asked people to inquire about qq.com domain name.
The qq.com domain is owned by an American in the video business, who is asking for $2 million in the domain name market, and there is no room for concession.
This made Su Wen scratch his head, 2 million US dollars is converted into 16 million yuan, a price that Su Wen could not accept no matter what.
