Zhao Xu is a white-collar worker in a company, and at the age of 26, he has already lived a life of 9 to 5 and 3 o'clock.

The heavy work always makes it difficult for him to slack off in his spirits.

Maybe only after work, grabbing a good spot in the subway where many people are crowded around, will make his body and mind extremely happy.

Even if he has to cook for the two children who come back from school after returning home, and endure his wife's complaints to the company boss, Zhao Xu can still enjoy a moment of quiet belonging to him in the crowded subway.

He turned on his mobile phone every day and wanted to enter QQ to chat with some people.

It's just that Zhao Xu soon found out that someone was @ him in the same city dating group.

It's a small circle of his own.

There were about eighty people in the group.

The group owner and administrator will often hold some outings, or have dinner in the hotel, Zhao Xu still remembers that when QQ Farm came out, the people in the group were also the most stolen vegetables, and there were even ruthless people who did some mobile phone scripts in order to steal more vegetables, and hung up to steal vegetables.

Of course, these are all small episodes of life, what really makes Zhao Xu care is that they can hug each other to keep warm under the pressure of life.

Including which supermarket has a discount, how many batches of fresh and cheap seafood have entered, including children's school employment, where to go to school, where to apply for tutoring classes.

And now, Zhao Xu found out that it was not who @ him, but the group leader @ everyone.

The group owner said that he found a very interesting mobile phone software, and recommended it to everyone after trying it out.

According to him, this mobile phone software called WeChat not only has a more concise chat page than mobile phone QQ, but also has many interesting functions.

For example, what shake function, it's quite fun.

There is also a circle of friends function,You can share photos and moods in the circle of friends,The group owner said that it is a simplified version of the QQ space,It's fun。

"Circle of friends?"

Zhao Xu was successfully attracted by the group owner's words, and he subconsciously clicked on the link sent by the group owner, and jumped to the quick use app.

This is the app he downloaded through Baidu's pop-up push, which can download a lot of software, which is very practical.

Zhao Xu looked at the introduction of this WeChat product, including some of its promotional pictures, such as a user who shared his travelogue today in the circle of friends, put some photos of food and scenery, and the following are many people's likes and comments.

I have to say that Zhao Xu was a little moved, and even moved the idea of downloading.

However, considering that there was no signal in the subway, Zhao Xu waited for the subway to come to the next station, he walked out of the platform, and then clicked to download this product.

The download efficiency of the quick app has always been very high, if you don't download it on the fast app, such as downloading it directly on the web page, it's slow to death, and on the fast app, you can basically get it in two minutes, Zhao Xu likes to download games with the quick app.

When downloading, the quick app will also display the circle progress bar of the app being downloaded on the desktop to help him see the download progress of the app.

Soon, waiting for the circle progress bar to load, a green background, two white chat bubbles together composed of the app download and installation completed, and two small white words appeared below - WeChat.

Zhao Xu was a little impatient, he wanted to see if the app recommended by this group owner was really that interesting.

So even if the subway that changed the line had already opened, Zhao Xu stayed in place, but instead studied this WeChat that made his eyes shine just by the icon.

Zhao Xu quickly clicked on WeChat, registered his mobile phone number, and set his nickname in one go, and Zhao Xu was surprised to find that this one has the same novice guidance function as the game, and every function will appear in a pop-up window to explain, and after understanding, you can click Next to learn about other functions.

What Zhao Xu is most afraid of is that he clicks on a software but doesn't know what to do, and when he encounters such software, he will delete it directly.

And the simple function introduction of WeChat has made his good impression of this software also rise.

In the introduction, he learned about the same chat function as QQ, the address book function, and the circle of friends function, and after all the functions were understood, Zhao Xu couldn't wait to add friends.

He already knows that this is a social software very similar to QQ, how can he do it without friends.

Zhao Xu clicked on the address book, and planned to add some friends by searching for the mobile phone number, but the 'one-click to add mobile phone address book friends' function on the address book directly attracted his attention, and he subconsciously clicked it.

After waiting for a while, the number of friends in the address book also increased.

All of them were acquaintances in his phone's address book.

There are more than a dozen.

Then a pop-up popped up.

It's an acquaintance on some other phone's address book.

There is a green background next to it, and the 'invite' button is written in white letters.

Obviously, these are all people who have not registered with WeChat.

Zhao Xu didn't rush to click on the invitation, because even he hadn't fully understood WeChat, and it would be impolite to invite rashly.

He clicked on the circle of friends that he was thinking about.

Looking at the bustling scene of the subway platform, Zhao Xu took a photo directly.

The picture needs to be accompanied by text, and Zhao Xu also added a sentence [Just got off work, there are a lot of people in the subway station. 】

This is the first circle of friends he posted, and Zhao Xu looked at this page with anticipation.

Soon, a message appeared on it.

After Zhao Xu clicked on it, he found that a few acquaintances who had added friends liked his statement, and another acquaintance directly commented [Alas, I am also in the subway, I can't find a seat, squeeze to death. 】

Zhao Xu was suddenly a little excited.

He thinks this circle of friends is very interesting.

Under this person's comment, Zhao Xu replied [That's it, there is no place for the subway, and the bus is slow, so it will be settled." 】

Soon, the acquaintance commented again, "I can only do it. 】

So Zhao Xu chatted with acquaintances, you commented, I commented.

After that, other acquaintances joined the comments, and Zhao Xu also played more and more.

Until an incoming call appears.

Zhao Xu's face stiffened, and he connected the call: "Hey, wife?" ”

A woman's filial piety came from the phone: "What time is it and you haven't come home to cook, the children are starving to death, do you have any points." ”

Zhao Xu's scalp was numb, but he still immediately said: "I'm working late today, right away, come back right away." ”

"Hurry up."

The woman hung up.

Zhao Xu sighed, he looked at the time, and found that more than ten minutes had passed since he downloaded WeChat and interacted with acquaintances in the circle of friends, and he was indeed a bit 'out of business'.

The subway of Line 5 entered the station again, and Zhao Xu hurriedly got on the subway and found a place to sit down.

Subconsciously, he clicked on WeChat again and played.

And he was soon attracted by another new trick of WeChat.

"Shake it?"

....

Hundreds of miles away in Hongcheng, Hongda Entrepreneurship Base of Weiliao Technology Co., Ltd

In the office, a group of technicians are still monitoring WeChat data.

And the feedback from the data monitoring still made them a little unbelievable.

Because in just one hour, the number of downloads of the official version exceeded half a million times.

If there is no error in the data, it means that the WeChat project has ushered in an unprecedented good start!

Half a million.

What a concept it is.

When Penguin released QQ, there was no such terrifying data for an hour.

Rao is Gu Yuanzhong was also extremely surprised.

"Such a horrible promotion... How can it be. Gu Yuanzhong muttered to himself, he looked at the data report fed back by his subordinates, and couldn't believe that WeChat would be so popular, with 500,000 downloads within an hour.

"In fact, it is mainly the majority of college students who use the home app, because the college student group has adapted to the use of WeChat in advance, and this time the Li is independent to make the official version, and the college students in Hongcheng who use the home app tend to download the official version of WeChat, and the majority of them also account for the majority." Zhou Wan explained with a smile.

At first, she was quite surprised, after all, almost every second, there are more than 100 downloads.

Even if the quick app occupies 80% of the market share of the mobile app download market, it will never have such a terrifying publicity effect.

After all, the quick app is just a mobile version of the software download center, most people download the quick app for the convenience of downloading the software later, it does not mean that they will keep staring at the quick app to see, even if the function of the home page promotion is strong, it also takes a certain amount of time to convert.

Therefore, it is mainly the college students of Hongcheng who occupy the lion's majority.

Because the home app originally used WeChat to communicate, everyone also used the habit, so after the official version of WeChat came out, they were more inclined to download, which also led to the number of WeChat downloads, which exceeded 500,000 times in just one hour.

Gu Yuanzhong nodded and agreed with Zhou Wan's explanation.

"When Hongcheng's college students are saturated, the growth rate of WeChat downloads will slow down, and at that time, it is the key to test whether our products are successful." Zhang Long said with a smile.

He is the president of Weichat Technology, responsible for coordinating the development and operation of WeChat, and for nearly a month, Zhang Long also did his best to polish the WeChat product.

Including the shake function, the circle of friends function.

In September, he launched the drifting bottle function in QQ mailbox, which is a game with a very simple logical structure, users will 'information' into the bottle, and then throw it away randomly, and then randomly assigned by the system, picked up by other users, each user can get a fixed number of opportunities to pick up bottles every day, and the bottles picked up can be thrown away to continue drifting, or you can choose to reply.

This simple application has brought a huge number of users to QQ mailbox, and in three days, the number of users has broken one million, and in one month, the number of users using QQ mailbox is as high as 10 million, which is a social idea conceived by Zhang Long.

But the success of QQ mailbox is inevitably that he was squeezed out of the company by the diehards within the company, which is also Zhang Long's regret.

Now the wave has developed WeChat, Zhang Long in the operation of the research and development, but also the drifting bottle of the operation logic simplified, developed a shake function, just now in the data detection, there is also a single function of WeChat use monitoring, within an hour, the total number of use of the shake function, reached an astonishing three million times.

What does this mean?

This means that a user shakes it an average of 6 times.

It's already a terrifying statistic.

The circle of friends function, Zhang Long borrowed the idea of QQ space, moved the QQ space on the computer to the mobile terminal, and became a small social forum built in the network of acquaintances, and according to the use of background feedback, it is not inferior to shaking.

Even more popular than a shake.

Zhang Long originally only planned to shake it, but after communicating with Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan told Zhang Long if he could learn from QQ's advantages, so he had the inspiration for the circle of friends.

Originally, the circle of friends was not called the circle of friends, but my space, but Zhou Yan directly took the name of the circle of friends, and Zhang Long felt that it was quite appropriate.

Zhang Long didn't know that ideas such as the circle of friends were made by himself, but he might have to delay a few versions, but now he was ordered by Zhou Yan in advance and made a big killer on WeChat.

Zhang Long still admires Zhou Yan very much.

He believes that Zhou Yan is also an excellent product manager who knows how to grasp the psychology of users.

is even very similar to him, with unbridled creativity.

"Let's take a look, I'm looking forward to how many users WeChat can gain before tomorrow." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Gu Yuanzhong also laughed: "Actually, I'm looking forward to what kind of expression the penguin's pony horse will be after WeChat has gained tens of millions of users." ”

The more popular WeChat is, the more Gu Yuanzhong feels relieved.

United Wave Chase Technology's revenge battle against the penguins.

The success of the project on the mobile terminal will definitely give the penguin the strongest response.

At that time, Brother Xiaoma's expression is really worth looking forward to.

And Zhang Long's eyes also flashed slightly, the purpose of his coming to Hongcheng was not just to fulfill his promise to Zhou Yan.

Everyone wants to have a chance to prove themselves, and now this opportunity is firmly grasped in his hands.

Penguin... Zhang Long's eyes were a little deeper, and what was hidden deeper was a hint of shrewdness.

If it weren't for those people's obstruction, I'm afraid that this project would have started in Penguin now, and Chase Wave will undoubtedly be the strongest opponent of Penguin, but by mistake, he joined Chase Wave and became an opponent with Penguin.

It's very interesting...

The time soon came to seven o'clock in the evening, and the big guys gathered in the office of Weichat Technology, eating a boxed lunch while monitoring the data of Weichat.

After a period of extremely violent outbreaks, the growth rate has been relatively flat.

Because of the foreshadowing of the Homeland app, college students in Hongcheng and surrounding cities easily accepted the official version of WeChat.

There is a sentence that I don't know when it was spread.

'Only primary school students use QQ, and college students use WeChat. ’

This sentence is very lethal, meaning even that you use QQ is a primary school student, but at another level, the same is the identification of WeChat, I don't know how many college students, after getting used to the WeChat function in the home app, they decisively gave up the mobile version of QQ, even if they are still using computer QQ, but on the mobile side, whether it is work or study, or daily socialization, they are gradually accustomed to using a more concise and practical WeChat.

The official version of WeChat was launched, which was naturally also supported by college students in Hongcheng and even surrounding cities, so it also made the initial data explode directly.

After that, most of the millions of college student traffic on the Home App were converted into the traffic of the official version of WeChat, and the increase in this aspect was reduced a lot.

However, it is just as fast.

360's omni-channel promotion, the continuous development of the fast app on the track, and WeChat's strong product reputation, with the addition of many factors, WeChat's promotion is like riding a roller coaster, and it can't be stopped at all, but it just has passed the steepest place in the early stage.

Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan have been staring at the progress of WeChat in Weichat Technology.

And he and Zhou Wan both held a box of lunches in their hands.

Staff meals.

Because I didn't have time to eat, the restaurant downstairs also brought a batch of boxed lunches.

Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan were sitting at a desk at this time, with a laptop in front of them, displaying real-time data, and eating a boxed lunch with taste.

The others are similar.

"Zhou Yan, I don't eat chicken legs, you can eat it." Zhou Wan looked at the computer and saw that there was still a chicken leg left in the lunch box that had not been moved, and said to Zhou Yan.

"Huh?" Zhou Yan was stunned.

Zhou Wan blinked and whispered, "Don't worry, I haven't bitten it, can't you eat it?"

"I don't dislike biting me."

Zhou Yan smiled, it happened that the lunch box was not very full, and he unceremoniously picked up the chicken legs in Zhou Wan's box lunch.

It seems to be an unintentional word, but the listener has a heart.

Zhou Wan heard Zhou Yan say that she didn't dislike her for biting, and she didn't know why, and she felt a little ashamed.

She tilted her head slightly, staggered Zhou Yan's gaze, and whispered, "I really haven't bitten it." ”

The sound is small.

It's so small that it's easily drowned out by the noise in the office.
