Venture Capital Fund Headquarters.

Liu Wen, who was sitting in the office, called his assistant and asked, "How has the Blue Space website developed recently?" Do you have any market research data? ”

The assistant nodded and said: "Mr. Liu, we have obtained the latest data on the Blue Space website, which has accumulated 14.8 million registered users, 9.5 million active users, and 257 million page views so far. ”

"What?" Liu Wen was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "Why is the proportion of active users so high? ”

Not only that, the monthly user growth rate is nearly 10 million, which is what shocked him the most, this data is crazy, compared with the growth data of QQ in the same period, the blue space website is simply full of QQ.

"A little over a month ago, the Bluespace website launched the photo feature, which has exploded in popularity, driving an explosive increase in users, and data shows that in the last month alone, the number of photos uploaded by users of the Bluespace website has exceeded that of any other website," the assistant continued. ”

The number of photos uploaded exceeds that of other websites, which is not surprising to Luo Sheng, because photo sharing is one of the core social functions of the blue space, and now it is even possible to remove the "one".

Liu Wen thought and said secretly: "Not to say absolute success, but the prospect of the success of Bluestar Technology is indeed getting brighter and brighter. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Wen now regrets very much that he was one step late and failed to get the angel round of financing from Bluestar Technology, allowing Xu Chenghua to take the lead.

I can't help but sigh helplessly, QQ's sense of smell in the field of social networking is sharper than others.

Judging from the current development momentum, the blue space website is definitely the most eye-catching social networking site in the Internet industry at present, and the user growth rate has been on par with QQ, you must know that QQ has gone through 5 years since its establishment to its listing.

The Blue Space website of Bluestar Technology has only been more than three months, although the current cumulative number of users is less than 15 million, compared with QQ users is still very different.

But the growth momentum of the blue space is too strong, and that's the point.

Liu Wen immediately asked: "Can you find out the current financial situation of Bluestar Technology?" I remember Xu Chenghua showing off in front of me at the beginning, as if he only took 1 million in the angel round of financing, and with the current data, users share a large number of photos, and the expenditure of Internet fees alone is enough to drink a pot, and one million can't help but fight at all. ”

His assistant replied: "A month ago, Bluestar Technology expanded the team, and now their company has about twenty or thirty people, and the current development situation, the amount of funds used is getting larger and larger, and it is not difficult to speculate that their funds should bottom out soon, and I think that within this month, Bluestar Technology will definitely seek a new round of financing." ”

"Makes sense." Liu Wen nodded and said decisively: "I missed the angel round of financing, the pre-A round of financing must not be missed again, you go to prepare the materials as soon as possible, I will personally visit the founder of Bluestar Technology." ”

Liu Wen dared to pack the ticket, and now it is estimated that he is not the only VC person staring at Bluestar Technology, and most of the other venture capital institutions have already been eyed.

Large investment companies are all casting a wide net strategy, they are not investing in any one company, they are investing in the entire track, Bluestar Technology may be a rare excellent racer in the Internet field so far, staring at his VC will naturally not be less.

The Internet industry has not been in this situation for a long time since the cold winter, and industry insiders have even concluded that the models that the Internet industry can do have basically been done.

The "blue phenomenon" that is emerging now is undoubtedly a slap in the face.

As a month passed, the Blue Space website reached nearly 15 million user registrations, and during this time, several new social networking sites suddenly appeared in the industry, all of which were highly imitation of the Blue Space model.

However, most of the online products are basically semi-finished products, and there are a lot of bugs, and there is no photo function yet, because it is still under development, and it will take at least a month or two before it goes online.

Luo Sheng's launch of the photo function is a time difference, and it takes time to develop.

The industry is staring at the development of the blue space, especially some people who study the B community, and find that this company likes to update its website and upload some new content around three or four o'clock in the morning, so many people are staring at it in the middle of the night.

A typical example is QQ's website development department, which has a person who does this.

With this posture, Zhao Peng wants to let the R club copy the rhythm to the end.

And Bluestar Technology, also staring at the R Society, Xu Yong spontaneously stared, the rhythm master recently flew up with the rhythm belt on the Internet, and the R Society on the QQ side faced his crazy ridicule, basically treated it silently, mainly in terms of momentum, it was three points weaker.

After all, the eyes of melon-eating netizens are bright, just do this kind of thing silently, and it is reasonable to say that this rhythm is getting more and more fierce, but it is not good for R Society.

Zhao Peng's strategy is very simple, I think this is "endure humiliation and bear the burden" and work silently, as Teng Xun's person, he knows one thing very well - user habits.

User habits are a terrible thing, and once they are formed, they are basically stable.

As long as the user develops a user habit in the R company, the retention rate will go up.

Xu Yong also registered an R Society account, which is one of his main offensive positions, and the R Society did not delete his number, in fact, he really wanted to delete it, but the R Society felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing.

"Boss, sure enough, the shameless R community has finally launched the photo function." Xu Yong immediately shouted, adding with a look of indignation and mockery: "But the interface is very bad and reasonable, and it is not very smooth, it is estimated that I can't wait for the result of the rush online." ”

Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the lounge, immediately said to Bai Lang and Feng Yi when he heard this: "Let's just wait for R Society to launch the photo sharing function, as for the other messy communities that are online, we don't have to worry about it, our main competitor is R Society, followed by [51 personal space], as for others, they are classified as 'other', but pay attention to the situation in North America." ”

Luo Sheng is most worried about North America, whether the truncated Xiaozha will make Facebook again, the key is that North America is now the world's largest single Internet market, and the current Internet users in the United States are 140 million, followed by China.

Luo Sheng obviously will not give up the overseas market, and the international version of Blue Space going to sea is inevitable, so he has a sense of time urgency, and immediately said: "Bai Lang, Feng Yi, let's get ready to launch our label function, we have to do one thing, that is, it has always been plagiarized and has never been surpassed." ”

"Always plagiarized, never surpassed?" Xu Yong pondered this, couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then gave a thumbs up: "It's worthy of being the boss, wonderful!" ”

Feng Yi said: "Update now? It's daytime, and millions of users are using Blue Space, so why not wait until midnight to push the code? Even if something goes wrong with the code, it won't affect many users. ”

Luo Sheng shook his head and said firmly: "Act quickly, break the convention, of course, it will be launched now, the tag function has been developed more than a month ago, and it has been used internally for so long and has been continuously optimized so far, are you worried that there will be problems with the code?" ”

The boss said so, and the people who maintained the website naturally had no opinion, and immediately pushed the code according to Luo Sheng's request.

The photo tag function has been quietly launched, and there is no doubt that the Blue Space website is once again one step ahead in terms of user experience.
