Chapter 163 Digging Your Own Grave?

The news that the Meitu platform will be updated was immediately uploaded on the Internet. However, this free data is only for the short video module of the Meitu platform. Watching short videos does not consume any data, but the picture module still needs to consume data.

At the group headquarters of Douyin Platform, Zhang Daming was working in the office when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Boguang opened the office door and walked into the office, "Mr. Zhang, I have a message for you."

"What news?" Zhang Daming put down the work at hand, and the recent bad news appeared one after another. First, a Meitu platform suddenly emerged, cutting off the number of users of the Douyin platform.

Then, the total number of users of the Meitu platform surpassed the Douyin platform, which caused the market share of the Douyin platform to continue to decrease, and investors' valuation of Douyin also continued to decrease.

Bo Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Zhang, today the Meitu platform ushered in a new update. The updated content is extremely unfavorable to us."

"What's updated? What's new with Meitu?" Zhang Daming immediately frowned. Recently, whenever he heard the words "Meitu short video platform", his head would get dizzy.

Previously, the Meitu platform integrated special effects pictures into the short video module, which attracted a lot of users, and has surpassed the Douyin platform in terms of features.

Zhang Daming had been thinking of ways, but he couldn't think of a suitable one that could curb the development trend of the Meitu platform.

"It's like this." Bo Guang continued: "The Meitu platform has ushered in an update. The content is to exempt the traffic consumption of the short video module, and all the traffic will be borne by Vanke Group!"

I have been paying attention to the development of the Meitu platform for a while, and after seeing this update, I hurried over to report to the leader.

"What? Why did Meitu short video do this?" Zhang Daming was a little confused. If all the traffic was borne by the group, the annual profit would be reduced by at least tens of millions.

Boguang continued: "Mr. Zhang, the Meitu platform has only released such an update description at present, and the update package will not be released until [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. It is still unknown why the user data fee will be exempted."

There is only an update description on the Internet, and there is also an update introduction, but why this is done, judging from this introduction, it is not obvious at all.

"What is this Ding Jie thinking?" Zhang Daming really couldn't understand Ding Jie's thoughts at this time. According to the current development trend of the Meitu platform, the future will definitely pull the Douyin platform far behind. It can be said that the future is limitless.

However, after the incident of free streaming of short videos, he is not optimistic about the short video platform of Meitu. "Could it be that Ding Jie Yelang is arrogant? He wants to push the development of the platform to the peak in a short time?"

If the short video platform does not require users to pay traffic fees, it will be very attractive to users. In today's era of very high traffic tariffs, users will definitely like programs with lower traffic.

If the Meitu platform really eliminates traffic consumption, the future development trend will definitely skyrocket. It is almost impossible for Douyin to gain a foothold and compete for market share.

"Mr. Zhang, I have an analysis." Boguang is also a marketing person with a lot of unique insights. "I think Ding Jie must have been dazzled by the victory. Before surpassing our user base, he wanted to expand blindly." The number of users! Exempting user traffic is indeed a very good way to expand users, but the consequences are very serious”

"Today, the number of users on the Meitu platform is 6500 million, and the monthly bandwidth fee should reach 600 million, which is 7200 million a year. Although it does not seem like a lot, it cannot withstand the increase in users every year. This year it is 6500 million users. , it will have to be tripled next year, and the bandwidth will have to be tripled, which is already sky-high bandwidth!"

"You're right!" Zhang Daming agrees with Boguang very much, "I think Ding Jie is digging his own grave by canceling the user traffic fee! The bandwidth fee of hundreds of millions in the future will definitely drag down the short video platform!"

"You are right! Throwing away long-term interests for the sake of short-term interests, this Ding Jie is really ill-considered in doing so!" Bo Guang thought that Ding Jie was a genius before, but now he must do it from the bottom of his heart. Fall from the altar.

"Let's watch, there is a good show to watch! Let's see how far Meitu's short video can go!" Zhang Daming suddenly felt very happy. His opponent's mistakes were like his own victory. excited.

"Hey, there's a good show to watch!" Bo Guang also laughed a few times, preparing to watch Meitu's performance in this money-losing show.

The Meitu short video platform is free of traffic, which is great news for the majority of users.

Li An is a student at school. He just started his sophomore year. He usually likes to play with his mobile phone. When other students are playing football or basketball, he usually lies down in the dormitory.

If it is distinguished by personality, it can be regarded as a professional otaku.

"Oh, it's annoying, the school doesn't install a high-speed wifi, and the monthly traffic is not enough."

On this day, Li An was nestling in the dormitory, and began to lament the problem of insufficient traffic.Although the school has a free wireless network, so many people use it, and those with slow network speeds can only browse the web, which is still the kind of web page without pictures.

If you want to see pictures, you will get stuck. It takes almost half a minute to load one picture, and it will take a long time to load the rest.

Unable to use the free wireless network, Ang Lee had to order a mobile phone data package at a high price. In 2016, the data tariff was still very high.

As a student party, his monthly traffic fee has reached 100 yuan, which is already the limit.Accommodation and living expenses outside the home are very expensive, and it costs money to eat and drink. It is impossible to spend all the money on charging data.

"Oh, it's already the end of the month, there's no traffic, and I can't watch the short videos of the girls."

Every time it comes to the end of the month, especially the last few days, Li An will feel very embarrassed, because the traffic is mostly gone at this time.

He has recently become obsessed with the short video platform, where he can meet all kinds of good-looking ladies, and he has to browse many videos every day, resulting in insufficient traffic.

"Hey, I already bought a gas pack once this month, do you want to buy it again? Today is the 30th, there is no class in the afternoon, and it's so sad not to play with my phone."

This month, I have already spent 50 yuan to buy a data package, plus the package fee, I have already used 130, and I have no living expenses for the next month.

"Forget it. There is still half a day, just bear with it and it will pass."

In the end, I decided not to buy it. I will not watch short videos for half a day and read novels, which can save traffic.
