Age of Dreams
Vol 2 Chapter 1006: Wechat (on)
After a few years, when others heard Xiao Qi's words, they knew what he was talking about.
This kind of thing, the Chinese version can be called Michao, WeChat.
English version also has WhatsApp, ne, iMessage.
The term "WeChat" that appears most frequently in our lives also represents the five similar voice communication software mentioned above.
According to Xiao Qi's understanding, the originator of these five voice communication software should be WhatsApp. It is the former Yahoo engineer in charge of operations and management, Jane? Qom was founded in 2009.
Then, in the future, I learned and copied Mi Technology, which was the leader of Qiao's gang, and launched the Chinese version of Mi Talk in December 2010.
followed by the shameless Penguin, at the end of January 2011, it launched a WeChat with almost the same functions.
Don't feel very angry, just come and accuse "Chinese people can only plagiarize and copycat".
In fact, in 2011, Joe’s gang did a very unkind thing. His iMessage copied WhatsApp, and the main functions of the two are almost the same.
As for the sudden emergence of ne, it was also launched by a Korean company in the Japanese market. It is also a copy of WhatsApp, but it is a bit more subtle and more innovative than the previous ones. It is the lowest copycat.
Of course, the above facts are only about past lives.
In this life and this world, it is only 2007. Mr. Qom has not resigned from Yahoo, and there is no voice communication software for this item. In other words, Xiao Qi has become the creator of it.
Huangfu Cai herself is a very smart person, plus Xiao Qi's words are easy to understand, she just figured it out for a few minutes, and then she understood.
"This is the same as playing the Dream Pad online game, it needs to be connected to the Internet at any time."
"Correct!"
"If the Internet is always connected, in addition to text messages and voice, can I send photos and videos like I did on Weibo?"
"Snapped!"
"Ah~~"
Fairy student's keen thinking made Xiao Qi marvel at the case.
But there is no "case" to shoot at this time, so the boy slapped the beautiful **** the silky buttocks of the beautiful girl, causing her to scream.
Xiao Qi deliberately streamlined the functions of this voice communication software. In fact, the four major functions of WeChat: SMS, voice, uploading and sharing video photos, shaking to find nearby friends, Huangfu Cai can actually tell by analogy immediately The video and photo functions are already very talented.
As for the last "Shake to find nearby friends", there are some functions that are not up to the standard, which is not surprising.
"Xiao Cai'er, since you want to understand the meaning, do you think this can be done?" Xiao Qi asked her instead.
"Of course I will do it~~" Huangfu Cai said with a partiality, "But this can only be regarded as an APP? If it is just software, can it be done well?"
"I'm going to criticize you!" Xiao Qi gave a light cough, righteously said: "Doesn't Microsoft just make WS software? They can achieve the world's first position, my little fairy software, why not Be the number one in the world? Look at the "Exploding Birds" we made. It's just a game, isn't it earning tens of millions of dollars a month?"
"But the greatest significance of the network is that sharing is free. On the one hand, you don’t charge people for calls and text messages, you just use the mobile data of the 3G network; on the other hand, if you charge for the software itself, then users will be willing to bear the cost. Is it?" Huangfu Cai pondered again and raised the question.
My wife is really amazing!
Xiao Qi unconsciously admires the fairy wife again.
The contradiction she said is the biggest contradiction between voice communication software in the future.
WhatsApp is a model of resolute charging. In addition to the initial free trial period, WhatsApp charges each customer a total of 0.99-1.99 US dollars for three years. The usage fees of this group of users support the operation and profitability of WhatsApp and become In addition to the world's highest market share of similar products, its valuation has reached as much as 3 billion US dollars.
ne is also a shy learn to charge, but instead of using the APP client to charge, it uses various one-time-use emojis in the store to charge, and it can also charge for selling virtual goods in a common game mall, but ne The software itself is free of charge.
The other three, Michao, WeChat and iMessage, are completely free of charge, but their destiny is different.
Michao is earlier than WeChat and iMessage, but because it does not have a specific software carrier, it finally looked at WeChat to seize 70% of the instant voice communication market.
iMessage is very popular abroad. It is spread by NE users and even threatens WhatsApp. However, in China, it still has a very low market share because it does not have the assimilation rate of QQ~www.readwn.com~. Talk better than rice.
Because WhatsApp did not do a good job in distinguishing patents, these softwares took advantage of it.
Xiao Qi can't be such an idiot. He has done the patent work of voice communication software early. There are thirty-eight patents large and small. From creative patents to technical patents, all places that can be registered in the world have been registered. It is estimated that it will wait until later. The preliminary results of the first round of audits will be available next year.
even includes a patent for a free communication phone called SKYPE, a special voice phone, which has already fallen into the clutches of Xiao Qi.
He doesn’t know if this method can stop Penguin’s copycats, but an additional weapon to defend himself will always give him more confidence in victory. Again, thanks to the fact that Penguin is listed in Hong Kong, where the protection of patents It was very strict. As long as Xiao Qi dealt with this matter seriously, Penguin could not escape punishment.
Huangfu Cai must be considering the Huaguo market.
There is no doubt that if WhatsApp and WeChat fight in China, WeChat will definitely win.
Because Chinese people are too accustomed to using free software, this deep-rooted habit has only changed a little over the past ten years.
The software is good, but if no one uses it because of charges, it is undoubtedly a very painful thing.
