Chapter 1237 The Next Trend Is Instant Messaging
Lu Yi returned to the village during the Chinese New Year and gave each household a big red envelope worth 1,000 yuan.
It can be said that the villagers of Fushi Village were very happy.
It's like picking up this money for free.
The seven aunts and eight aunts from the countryside all praised Lu Yi non-stop.
Then.
Everyone began to preach to the younger people in the village.
This made the young people in the village roll their eyes.
Then how can I compare with the richest man in the world?
Who can withstand this!
Although they are of the same generation, most of them have graduated from junior high school or even elementary school, and they basically work outside all year round.
Are you asking me, a loser, to compare myself to the richest man in the world?
Is this too dimensionally reducing?
The situation in Fushi Village has also spread to other villages in Shili and Baxiang.
This makes people in other villages envious.
They all lamented why there was no "Qi San Qi" aspiring young man like Lu Yi in their village.
The Spring Festival always goes by very quickly.
When everyone is still not satisfied, the countdown to the seven-day Spring Festival holiday begins, reminding everyone that the holiday balance is insufficient.
February 19th, the sixth day of the lunar month.
Lu Yi returned to Sioux City.
Three days later.
Lu Yi arrived at the Future Group headquarters early and held an internal high-level meeting.
in the meeting.
Lu Yi mentioned.
With the development of Internet technology, smart phones are rising rapidly.
The next trend in the industry is instant messaging.
but.
The group has already launched the instant messaging software WeChat.
The domestic version of WeChat and the international version of WeChat are both pretty good in terms of number of users.
The combined number of users of the two exceeds 150 million.
This number of users can be said to be too much or too little.
With the popularity of smart phones, it is obvious that the field of instant messaging will usher in a big explosion.
As far as domestic users are concerned, since QQ was taken down.
The ones you can choose are basically WeChat, Fetion and MSN.
However, there are many instant messaging software options available abroad.
Relatively speaking.
domestic.
WeChat’s current main competitor is Fetion.
Fetion is a software that can realize seamless connection between the Internet and SMS. It emerged in the web2.0 era and was first launched in 2007. Now it is the most popular social software in China. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most popular social software in China. Xiaonei Network is a super application in the same echelon.
Users can use Fetion to send text messages to friends in their address book, which is very convenient for users who need to send notifications, and this service is free.
In fact, the sluggishness of operators' SMS business is not only due to the rise of social products such as WeChat, but also Fetion, a subsidiary of China Mobile, which has also played a big role.
In 2007, the domestic mobile phone market was still dominated by operators.
Blue Star Electronics has just released its first-generation mobile phone, which has a small market share, while Fetion is launched by the most powerful mobile phone, which can be said to be a behemoth.
Now this product is at its peak, with the number of users reaching 500 million and monthly active users exceeding 100 million.
Considering that smartphones still have a lot of room for popularity, most Fetion users still run on smartphones with plastic keyboards.
You can imagine the prospects here.
Although Fetion was besieged by QQ and WeChat in its previous life, it eventually declined.
But it's different now.
QQ, the biggest competitor, has disappeared in the long history.
WeChat has not yet become popular, and the threat to Fetion is limited.
It can be said.
Fetion is currently the largest social software in China.
At the meeting.
Lu Yi said.
WeChat should develop more functions on top of its original simple functions, such as official accounts and so on.
"We and Fetion Mobile are confirmed direct competitors, and they will be our main competitors for some time to come. But at the same time, we must also pay attention to potential competitors that have not yet surfaced."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lu Yi in confusion.
What's the meaning?
QQ has been beaten to the ground, can it still make a comeback?
“Have any of you noticed Rice’s recent job postings?”
"I always feel like Rebus is planning to do something big lately."
Lu Yi's words immediately made everyone feel a little embarrassed.
They really don't have the time to pay attention to rice.
The reason is also very simple.
Doesn’t rice make smartphones?
There is no way to compete with the Future Group.
Even if it is attention, it should be Blue Star Electronics that should focus on it.
See this.
Lu Yi's face darkened.
His sharp gaze swept over everyone, and the senior officials who looked at him all trembled in their hearts.
A pressure spread directly in the conference room.
"Teacher Da Liu said it very well in "The Three-Body Problem", weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is!"
“Why did I mention rice?”
"Because I noticed that rice's recent recruitment information is a bit unusual. They have hired a lot of talents with experience in social product development. Some relevant product managers have already worked at rice."
Lu Yi's words immediately shocked everyone.
Lu Qi said: "Director Lu, you mean that Yinmi intends to enter the social field? It will even compete with our WeChat?"
"Don't underestimate any opponent, even if the opponent is a monk halfway." Lu Yi did not answer directly, but said this.
But his meaning was already obvious.
Not only does Rebus want to enter the social field, but not surprisingly, it also wants to create a social product called MiLiao.
The meeting lasted an hour and a half before ending.
After the meeting, a group of senior executives asked their assistants to buy Mr. Liu's "The Three-Body Problem" and prepare to read it.
This meeting made many executives feel the pressure for a long time.
Everyone can clearly feel Lu Yi's dissatisfaction.
This also made them aware of the seriousness of the problem.
The smooth development of the group in recent years has made them somewhat inflated and relaxed.
This time Lu Yi beat them very well.
If you don't knock, the subordinates below will become unresponsive.
But this.
This is definitely not what Lu Yi wants to see.
at the same time.
Just when Lu Yi named rice.
Rebus also convened a meeting with Rice executives.
Rebus has always been a big man who has a place in the entire Internet industry. He is a big man who has been famous in the IT industry for a long time, and has been active on the front line for so many years.
Before he founded Rice, Rebus was already very famous. He became the general manager of Jingshan Company at a young age, and later became an angel investor. Although he only invested in the ideas of acquaintances, Rebus missed many opportunities. Few good targets.
but.
Rebus has always invested in many successful products. .
