Chapter 299: Surrounded by Competitors
"This..."Yan Bin rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and after a long time, he couldn't say a complete answer.
Recently, his focus has been on competing with penguins, always paying attention to penguin trends and adjusting strategies accordingly. Or always pay attention to various information feedback after YY implements counterattacks.
Some ignore the performance of YY in foreign markets.
Fang Ping knew what was going on at a glance, and he didn't blame Yan Bin, he got up and said with a smile: "Let's go!" Let's take a look at YY's performance abroad. ”
"Yes, Mr. Fang, please here!"
Yan Bin was embarrassed, so he hurriedly got up and led Fang Ping out of the office together to the technical team, responsible for the technical support area of YY International Edition.
Arriving in the area, Yan Bin said directly: "Lao Wang, call up the background data of the YY international version." Mr. Fang, take a look! ”
"Yes!" A middle-aged technical engineer in the area raised his head and looked at Fang Ping and the others with some restraint before he nodded, and hurriedly called up the background data of YY International Edition.
Fang Ping stepped forward, tilted his body slightly, and looked at the data that came up, the number of registered users reached more than 180 million, covering more than 10 countries in North America and some Western countries.
The average daily activity rate reached 78%.
I looked at the data trend again and found that the data trend had a relatively stable increase in the early stage, with high and low, but in the last two or three days, there have been very obvious fluctuations in the increase.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why is the data increase of YY International Edition so big yesterday?" Is there a technical failure? ”
"No, this data is real and valid!"
Lao Wang, a middle-aged technical engineer, shook his head and said: "In addition, when the data fluctuates, I have contacted Pete of the Future Technology Branch of the United States, and the sudden increase in the data of the YY international version was reported by the local United States media!" ”
"Report? What's the report? Yan Bin was surprised.
Lao Wang said a little stiffly: "It's a money-burning war between YY and Penguins." I also have a screenshot of the report that Pete sent me! ”
While talking, he opened his YY account again, and called up the chat history with the branch Pete, as well as screenshots.
Fang Ping leaned over and took a closer look, only to know that within two or three days of the sudden increase in the data of the YY international version, some countries such as Mi Guo had exceeded more than 100 million US dollars because of the war between YY and Penguin.
Such a large amount of money, used to compete with rivals, and it is also in the current Internet field, has attracted a lot of media attention and reports in the country.
It's just that the content of the report, except for a few neutral media that report in a very pertinent way, the rest of the media inevitably report with some discrimination.
There are even media reports that slander and probe sex.
However, regardless of the direction and content of the reports, those reports still attract the attention of many Internet users and Internet industry bigwigs abroad.
As a result, many Internet industry bigwigs have made all kinds of good or bad comments on the money-burning war between YY and Penguin.
This has also indirectly led to a great increase in the popularity of YY and penguins abroad.
Among them, because YY has gone abroad and launched the international version simultaneously with China, it will directly convert those users who pay attention to the money-burning war into registered users of YY.
The relatively complete ecological chain of YY has flowed down these users, and only then has an average daily activity of 78%.
"It seems that we are still blessed by misfortune, double happiness is coming!"
Yan Bin also read the chat records of Lao Wang and Pete, and the screenshot of the report, and said with some joy: "Not only did I win, but the penguin blocked YY." It also made YY show its face in the international arena and improved a lot of data in the international version of YY. ”
Fang Ping glanced at Yan Bin, shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy. YY International Version's appearance abroad is both a good thing and a bad thing! ”
"Mr. Fang, you mean..."Yan Bin was stunned, and suddenly reacted, a little tentatively.
Fang Ping nodded: "Yes, the popularity of YY International Edition abroad is bound to attract the attention of foreign instant messaging giants such as MSN, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc.!" ”
"These giants have carved up the foreign instant messaging market, and they will never allow one more competitor, and this opponent is still from China!"
Yan Bin's face changed slightly, and his brows furrowed, he knew that neither MSN nor AIM abroad could be compared to domestic penguins.
Behind every instant messaging company, there is a powerful giant.
Like MSN, behind is Weiruan, which currently ranks first in the Internet market capitalization and has more than 200 billion US dollars.
And these instant messaging products are still fighting on the mainland.
If they are aimed at and block YY, the pressure on YY will be unprecedented.
In particular, there is a penguin in China, eyeing the tiger.
Almost without thinking about it, we all know that once YY starts a war with those instant messaging giants abroad, Penguin will definitely stop YY at home.
As a result, YY will face isolation and helplessness, and will be blocked by the whole industry.
Thinking of this, Yan Bin couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fang, what should we do then?" Do you want to give up the international version of the business for a while and focus on the domestic business? ”
"What? Are you scared? Of course, Fang Ping understood what Yan Bin meant, and joked.
Yan Bin shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but I feel that YY doesn't have the ability to fight on two fronts." Especially those foreign instant messaging giants, all of them have a lot of money in their hands. ”
"Even if you burn money, you can't win them."
"And as Mr. Fang said, YY is an outsider to them. It's easy to get them to give up the competition with each other, and the muzzle is always outward. ”
"You have a point! But you only see the advantages of the other party, but ignore our advantages! Fang Ping said with a smile.
Yan Bin was stunned and said, "Our advantage? ”
"Yes, among all the products in the field of instant messaging, YY is the best."
Fang Ping nodded and asked rhetorically, "You don't deny this, right?" ”
"No denial!" Yan Bin almost didn't think about it, and blurted out.
As the person in charge of YY, he knows the products he is responsible for well.
To put it mildly, among all the instant messaging products at home and abroad, none of them can compare to YY.
Not only the functions of YY, but also because of YY's product thinking.
Under the leadership of Fang Ping, YY's ecological chain functional products are always one step ahead of other products, or even two or three steps.
The reason why there will be a truce in the money-burning war that Penguin and YY have just ended is because Penguin's innovative products are not as good as YY.
Fang Ping smiled and said, "In addition, YY also has the resources of all the platforms of Future Technology, as well as the funds in my hands. I can't say that I can beat my competitors, but at least I can stay undefeated! ”
"Undefeated is victory!"
"Uh..."
Yan Bin wanted to say that Fang Ping was too optimistic in this matter, foreign instant messaging products have both local and financial advantages, even if the products are not as good as YY, these advantages can also make up for it, but he didn't dare to refute it.
After all, he is the person in charge of YY, and he is responsible for YY and the other party is responsible.
In front of Fang Ping, he said some frustrating words, I was afraid that he wanted Fang Ping to withdraw himself.
Fang Ping saw that Yan Bin was still worried, but he didn't say anything about it, and changed the topic with a faint smile: "Since we thought that our competitors would make a move, then we can't sit still!" ”
"Mr. Yan, you immediately arrange people to take people to the United States to set up YY's overseas branch!"
"This... Let me lead the team myself! Yan Bin groaned.
He knew Fang Ping's intention to make such an arrangement, although there are branches of Future Technology overseas, and Future Technology is also one of the shareholders of YY, but YY is an independent product after all, and it is not possible to do without an overseas independent operation team.
In addition, the overseas branch of Future Technology is responsible for the overseas operation, maintenance, and development of all products of Future Technology. may not be able to free up their hands to operate YY.
It is possible to operate YY, and there must be no YY's own team, and the operation is good.
Therefore, in view of the strong competitors that YY is about to face abroad, he still feels that it is more appropriate for him to go out in person.
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows: "It's okay!" I'll keep an eye on YY here, after you go out to set up a branch, what can you do to find the overseas branch of Future Technology. ”
"Then I'll say hello to her and ask her to assist you and set up a YY branch!"
"Really, thank you Mr. Fang!"
Yan Bin's eyes lit up, although he had never seen Feng Ziyue, but Feng Ziyue's name, he had already heard of it.
In the future, technology can gain a firm foothold overseas and develop to this point, which is indispensable.
After Fang Ping waved his hand, he returned to the office with Yan Bin, and agreed in detail to set up YY's overseas branch, as well as pay attention to the details of the information of overseas competitors.
After discussing these details, Yan Bin spent three days to set up a team to go to the United States to prepare for overseas branches, and took the team to the United States to start the journey of YY's overseas strategic deployment.
At the same time, as soon as Yan Bin left, Fang Ping also officially entered YY Town, and every day the documents that need to be handled by him such as Future Technology and Weilai Mall are sent to the YY office area by the administrative departments of two companies, and arranged for people to be sent to the YY office area for Fang Ping to deal with.
Although this process is a little more troublesome, fortunately, in the future, technology and so on are in the same building, even if it is troublesome, it will not be troublesome.
On this day, Fang Ping had just finished dealing with YY's daily affairs when there was a knock on the door in the office.
Fang Ping stretched his waist before he said, "Please come in!" ”
In the next second, the office door opened, and a familiar figure wearing a high-end professional skirt with a bewitching figure walked in from the outside holding a stack of documents.
Fang Ping was stunned when he saw the person coming, and said in amazement: "Teacher Zheng, why are you here?" ”
"I'll send you papers!" Zheng Ting came to Fang Ping's desk and put the stack of documents in her arms on Fang Ping's desk.
Fang Ping hurriedly said: "Teacher Zheng, just leave this little thing to others to do." How can I bother you to make a trip! ”
"I have something to do with you, and the documents are only sent by the way!" Zheng Ting was also polite, pulled out the chair in front of Fang Ping's desk, sat on it, and put her legs together.
Fang Ping was curious: "Teacher Zheng, what are you looking for me?" ”
"You're busy first, you're talking when you're done!" Zheng Ting looked at the stack of documents on the table, and Nunu said.
Fang Ping was stunned: "Uh, okay! Teacher Zheng, what do you want to drink, I'll give it to you! ”
"No, you're busy, I'll pour my own water when I'm thirsty!" Zheng Ting waved her hand.
"Alright! Then Mr. Zheng, you sit down for a while! ”
Fang Ping was even more curious, but he didn't ask too much, and hurriedly dealt with the daily affairs documents of the future technology brought by Zheng Ting.
Half an hour later, Fang Ping finished processing the documents, put down his work, and said with a smile: "Teacher Zheng, now you can tell what is going on!" ”
"It's noon now, I'll invite you to dinner, and talk while eating!" Zheng Ting put down the water glass in her hand and got up.
Fang Ping was a little stunned, no, what the hell was going on to make it so mysterious?
