Chapter 899: Instant Messaging Topic
And it's not just in the domestic market.
In the global market, because of Zhang Ning's Jianyì, Wu Xinhong not only developed a new English version after the Chinese version, but also launched Russian, French, and Italian after the English version...... The Meitu App is available in more than a dozen languages around the world.
Although at the beginning, Wu Xinhong's behavior once made many people think he was crazy.
Not a single market has been occupied, why has dozens of language versions been launched around the world all at once.
However, when the Penguin App Store put the Meitu App on the shelves, Wu Xinhong knew that his efforts had not been in vain.
The Meitu App succeeded.
He has successfully captured countless photographic lovers around the world.
Although, there are many people who don't understand why such a foolish and simple software like the Meitu App can become popular. He doesn't seem to be as good as PS at all, but why does he need a less powerful software like the Meitu App when he has a PS in the world?
It's just that no one will tell the guys who are confused.
Like, they will never understand how those business tycoons can make hundreds of millions of dollars with a random idea.
Without them understanding it, they had no choice but to bring the success of the Meitu App to the Penguin App Store.
Used by 600 million users worldwide.
What a terrifying number.
In this way, under the promotion of the Penguin App Store, the previous Penguin Game Accelerator was successful, and the Meitu App was also successful.
Many people in the industry screamed about this.
They shouted that spring had arrived for software developers.
Just upload your software to the Penguin App Store, and under their promotion, your software will be known all over the world.
Brothers, on, what are you waiting for.
We don't need to bother with promoting software anymore.
We don't need to worry about having no resources, no platform.
Now we just need to develop the software well, and the rest, then hand over a qiē to the Penguin App Store.
Then, as Zhang Ning said, your life will start to shine from here.
The power of money is invincible.
In the past, many software developers could not promote the software because they had developed it, and finally had to stop developing.
However, after seeing the success of the VIP sharing model of the Penguin App Store, those friends who had long stopped developing software tapped the keyboard again and took out one software after another.
Although, in it, there are a lot of software that are just ordinary software and don't have much functionality.
However, under the upload of countless software developers, there are always a few software that attract people's attention.
At the same time, on top of the platform publicity and many potential users, many innovative software that had been buried before were also rejuvenated and favored by many users at this moment.
Of course, the Penguin App Store also uses its own platform to successfully bind all software developers around the world and major software vendors around the world. Although this is just a partnership, if there are more such cooperations, then Penguin will become the most loyal partner of these software developers in the future. Even if Penguin wants to launch some other products in the future, these software developers will be the first to enter directly.
This proves that the Penguin App Store has succeeded.
Zhang Ning also found a way to deal with Microsoft under the success of the Penguin App Store.
Moreover, even if Zhang Ning does not launch an operating system now, he has a small strategy against Microsoft.
Just like the Penguin App Store's instant messaging feature.
This is a special activity of instant messaging software that Zhang Ning came up with.
Of course, the event is not to introduce the world's most popular instant messaging software to all friends around the world.
I don't recommend ICQ and MSN to all my friends around the world.
This is a competition in a global instant messaging software development competition.
Any company or individual in the world can participate, and the participation is provided that you develop an instant messaging.
The PK system was adopted for the competition.
Over a period of time, whoever has the highest number of downloads and the highest usage rate at the same time is the winner.
The winner will receive a full set of instant messaging recommendations from Penguin Mall, as well as a number of recommendations from Penguin's other platforms.
This event, as soon as it came out, had a huge impact.
The first to be interested in this event are naturally those companies or individuals who have long wanted to develop instant messaging.
They had not had a chance before, because the global instant messaging market was either monopolized by MSN or ICQ. They wanted to get in, but they didn't even have a window. However, now that the Penguin App Store has actually started to promote instant messaging, a group of software developers are suddenly excited.
What else to consider, hurry up and develop an instant messaging first.
If you look at MSN's profitability and look at ICQ's global market, it's eye-popping to think about.
Anyway, instant messaging software programs are actually very simple, no matter whether they can be developed successfully or not, even if they are not successful, they will not lose much. And, what if it succeeds.
There are not a few people who think like this.
Some came with the idea of trying their luck, while others really wanted to enter the instant messaging market.
But in any case, the recommendation opportunity given by the Penguin App Store moved them to tears.
He's a great guy.
Zhang Ning, I love you to death.
Zhang Ning, you really deserve to be my idol.
In an instant, thanks to the efforts of these software developers, hundreds of instant messaging apps emerged around the world.
……
"Zhang Ning, what's going on, how did you come up with the idea of engaging in an instant messaging promotion."
Zhou Hongwei looked at Zhang Ning with some strange eyes, "You don't want to enter the global instant messaging market, do you?" ”
Penguin's core business is instant messaging, but the most unfortunate thing is instant messaging.
Although Penguin has successfully launched QQ and has a monopoly in China.
However, some of Penguin's other businesses have already gone global. It's like Facebook, Penguin Video, Weibo, online games...... However, Penguin's Penguin QQ is still nesting in the country.
Zhou Hongwei had long known that Zhang Ning had this heart disease, so at this moment, he asked weakly.
"I want to get into the instant messaging market."
Zhang Ning sighed and shook his head, "However, I know that our QQ doesn't have much opportunity for the time being." ”
It's 2004, MSN and ICQ have successfully captured the market, and QQ is too late to enter the global market.
"Didn't you see, I didn't promote our QQ on the Penguin App Store at all?"
"That's right."
Zhou Hongwei nodded secretly, but he was even more strange, "Then why are you launching a special topic of instant messaging, it won't do us any good." Moreover, these instant messaging software are all free, and we also say that we divide them into fifty or fifty, free software, how do we divide them. ”
"We don't need to divide it, as for why we are launching instant messaging topics, you can guess if you think about it."
"Think about it?"
Zhou Hongwei was a little stunned, thought about it, and seemed to understand something.
"Zhang Ning, you won't use these instant messaging to attack Microsoft."
"Yes."
Zhang Ning nodded directly.
"Microsoft's MSN relies on Windows, and the potential is limitless. In addition, after the recent acquisition of ICQ by AOL, MSN has not developed much instant messaging business, and MSN has occupied a large part of the market. To deal with Microsoft, the operating system is temporarily powerless, then, have to deal with his MSN first. ”
"Compared to the operating system, MSN instant messaging is obviously better to deal with."
Zhou Hongwei is also deeply touched.
There is hardly anyone who doesn't hate Microsoft.
In particular, those companies that do not cooperate with Microsoft have little interest in Microsoft.
A lot of the time, they wonder when they can beat Microsoft and develop an operating system that can compete with Windows.
It's just that Microsoft's monopoly is too strong, and they have not been able to do it.
"It's just, Zhang Ning, your idea is good. But how do you get these little software developers to take the lead, and do you think they can outcompete Microsoft with these new instant messaging apps? This is incredible, it's better for you to go directly, anyway, you also beat Microsoft in China back then. ”
"I can't, I can't get on."
Zhang Ning shook his head.
"I'm useless, and I'm going to get Microsoft's attention. Moreover, I competed with Microsoft back then because I was in China, and of course we had the final say. Now we are entering the world, and our QQ does not have any advantages in the global market. Moreover, now that instant messaging has developed a habit for many people, people generally do not change instant messaging lightly, even if I enter the global market, I may not be able to beat MSN. ”
Zhang Ning could only sigh, he couldn't help the missed market.
"That's it, you can't beat them, and it's even more impossible."
Zhou Hongwei didn't know what Zhang Ning wanted to do, which was very strange.
"I didn't say that I can beat MSN with these instant messaging, and I just need them to grab a little bit of the market, even a little bit, and that's enough. Moreover, these instant messaging may not be able to compete with MSN in the global market, but they may not be able to compete with MSN in their home market. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Ning took out a number of jù.
"Take a look, this is an instant messaging from Japan, which has just been launched, and in just a few days, he has actually obtained more than 10,000 simultaneous online records. If the future development is good, it may not be impossible to drive MSN out of Japan. ”
The idea of using local software to defeat global giants has long been known to Zhang Ning.
In any case, local software is developed locally, whether it is the developer or the software itself, he belongs to the local and belongs to the country. Generally speaking, for local software, many people will spontaneously support it. At the same time, for local software, the government agencies in their own countries will also have greater help.
This gives local software the innate conditions to beat international giants.
Back then, Zhang Ning went to Japan to found the Penguin Comics original platform and cooperated with Son Masayoshi, also considering that Son Masayoshi was Japanese. Finally, with the help of Masayoshi Son, the Penguin comic original platform also gained a firm foothold in Japan, and became the largest original comic platform in Japan.
However, on the other hand, if there is no Japanese Masayoshi Son. Even if the Penguin Comics original platform relied on creativity to seize the Japanese market at once. However, Zhang Ning may not be able to keep such a market. After all, manga is a pillar industry in Japan, and it is impossible for him to let such an industry fall into the hands of a Chinese. In the end, not to mention that there are Japanese companies that want to deal with the Penguin Comics original platform, even the Japanese government will think about how to kill the Penguin Comics original platform.
It is precisely because he learned about the power of local software from the Penguin Comics original platform that Zhang Ning also had the idea of letting local software beat international giants. At the beginning, Zhang Ning wanted to rely on Penguin's own strength to launch a very localized instant messaging software in various countries or regions around the world. It was only later, after Zhang Ning thought about it carefully for a long time, he found that this method did not work.
One is that Zhang Ning must find a qualified instant messaging agent in various countries or regions around the world.
This person must be localized, and he must also have some knowledge of instant messaging and the Internet.
It's just that this one is very difficult.
Not every country has a genius like Masayoshi Son.
Second, Zhang Ning also had to develop a more localized instant messaging.
Just like Penguin QQ, he is not the same as MSN. Penguin QQ has unparalleled localization advantages, like his QQ expression, which does not have much effect on MSN, and on other countries around the world, they may not have much idea about QQ expression.
Instant messaging in each country, to a greater or lesser extent, carries some of its own country's imprints.
It is also basically impossible to develop such a highly localized instant messaging.
In the end, Zhang Ning dispelled such an idea.
However, although Zhang Ning dispelled such an idea, Zhang Ning still believes that localized software can defeat such an international giant. In particular, localization plays a very big role in breaking the monopoly.
So, Zhang Ning came up with the idea of launching an instant messaging topic.
Moreover, the launch is also a local instant messaging topic in various countries around the world.
He wants to foster the rise of instant messaging in all countries.
Even if you can't drive away MSN for the time being, you can still seize the MSN market by a large margin.
It's good for Penguin.
At the very least, it could greatly diminish Microsoft's ability to monopolize the global market.
Of course, in addition to instant messaging, Zhang Ning also launched an impact on Microsoft's other important product, office software.
Yes, Microsoft has not only monopolized the world with its operating system, but also with its office software Word.
If various countries can develop an office software that competes with Word, it will be a huge blow to Microsoft.
For this, Zhang Ning did not have reservations, and also launched an office software topic on the side of the instant messaging topic.
He believes that as long as these software are given time, there will be several bull fork software in the world, and the world will definitely be able to squeeze out the Microsoft market little by little under the joint force of these software. And when the time comes, Zhang Ning will really fight hard with Microsoft, and it will not be so laborious.
