Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

That night, Xingchao released a new emoji.

Mushroom Gutou and stick figures are just as attractive and magical as pandaren emoticons.

The Internet immediately set off another round of emoji craze.

At this time, Luo Fan didn't know that the new emoji package had been uploaded, and he was still considering whether to take advantage of this opportunity to promote a wave of Star Chat.

Just when Luo Fan was in a tangle, his phone suddenly rang.

Luo Fan glanced at the caller ID above and was stunned.

"Zhang Jian? Why did he call me?" Luo Fan muttered to himself, then answered the phone.

"Hello~"

"Mr. Luo, long time no see, how have you been recently?"

"Very good, how about you, Manager Zhang?"

"I'm not having a good time! President Luo, is Xingyuan planning to enter social software?" Zhang Jian asked straight to the point.

"Manager Zhang misunderstood! The main product of our company is not Star Chat. Star Chat is only launched for the convenience of game users to communicate with each other." Luo Fan replied in seconds.

"Really? I thought Mr. Luo designed those emoji packs to seize the market of social software!"

"Manager Zhang misunderstood. The emojis have always been there. It was just an accident that they became popular."

"It was an accident that the pandaren's emoji became popular, but the two emojis you updated later were not an accident, right?"

Luo Fan was stunned when he heard the words, the emoji updated later? Where's the emoji at the back?

But it's strange, Luo Fan's response is not slow at all, he said quickly: "The two emojis in the back are really for a wave of enthusiasm.

Before Xingchao, the installed capacity was only in the early 200,000s. Anyway, it is also our own product, so we can't completely ignore it, right? "

"That's right. After all, you can't just throw away your own products, so let's hold them together. What if it catches fire? Right?"

"That's right! Isn't this the norm for our Internet companies! It's one thing to be the main pusher, and another thing to do it." Luo Fan said with a smile.

After listening to Luo Fan's words, Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. He had already seen that the so-called Xingchao was not designed for game communication at all. To put it bluntly, it was a social software launched by Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.

But the crux of the problem is that Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. intends to promote this software? Or was it just developed to be prepared.

If it is the former, there is no doubt that Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. is a potential opponent of Penguin. If it is the latter, it is not necessary to pay too much attention.

After all, the underlying structure of chat software is very simple. Even a programmer can do it after staying up late for a month.

This type of APP has no technical content at all, and it doesn't take much time to develop one.

Before Zhang Jian called Luo Fan, he had already learned about Xingyuan's Xingchao in detail.

This product of Xingchao is completely different from their penguin. It does not have many functions of penguin. The whole APP looks very simple. To put it bluntly, it is a chat room, and there are a few people similar to yy who can pull a small function of the group.

In Zhang Jian's view, these functions are very simple and do not deserve attention at all.

Therefore, Zhang Jian personally prefers that this software is created by Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. in order to be prepared.

Even if it wasn't for the explosion of emoji packs that caused the downloads of Xingchao to surge, Zhang Jian would not have called to confirm whether Xingyuan had the idea of ​​promoting Xingchao.

Today's netizens are not the kind of Internet novices of ten years ago. In the field of social software, Penguin raises the appetite of users.

The new social software experience is worse than that of Penguin, so basically there is no game. If you want to succeed, at least the experience cannot be worse than Penguin.

And Xingchao, such a poor and white, apart from building groups and emojis, is a very simple chat tool. Zhang Jian really thinks that it cannot be regarded as a penguin's opponent.

However, Penguin suffered from underestimating the enemy a few years ago. At that time, Penguin was almost broken by the mobile Fetion.

In 2007, China Mobile launched Fetion and directly adopted the method of mobile phone registration. This registration directly broke the user chain of Penguin at that time. No need to apply for any number. shock.

And in 2007, the traffic fee was very high. It is self-evident what most users would choose to use the traffic to chat with Penguin and use Fetion to chat for free.

Therefore, Fetion has been developing rapidly. Up to now, the number of users of Fetion has exceeded 100 million. It is the chat software with the largest number of users except Penguin.

Penguin was very worried that Fetion would rise completely and drive them out of the communication market.

But I don't know why, Mobile doesn't seem to pay much attention to this software, and many users just regard Fetion as a free SMS sending platform.

What makes the Penguin side completely relieved is that Fetion is only free for chatting between mobile users, and other users are charged for chatting, which is the same as the SMS fee.

Although China Mobile has a much higher market share than China Unicom and Telecom in the communications market, as long as a small number of people do not use this software, it is a complete failure.

No one will choose a social software that can only chat with most of the friends, and the few remaining friends can not be?

In addition, since 2009, the price of traffic has begun to decrease, and only using Penguin chat has no effect on the total user traffic, so Penguin no longer regards Fetion as an opponent, and they feel that the decline of Fetion is a matter of time.

However, the sudden emergence of Fetion also gave Penguins a wake-up call, allowing them to discover the gaps in their user chain.

Therefore, Penguin launched the service of binding the mobile phone number of Penguin. On the one hand, it can increase the security of Penguin and prevent Penguin from being stolen.

On the other hand, it is also to get friends directly from the address book like Fetion, to make up for the lack of penguins.

And Luo Fan's Xingyuan application platform directly uses the mobile phone number to register the member account, and its products are universal accounts, plus the emoji package that suddenly exploded in Xingchao, which makes Penguin pay some attention to Xingchao , specially sent Zhang Jian to inquire.

And Zhang Jian is the "old school" in Penguin. He believes that the more functions of social software, the better, so he does not pay enough attention to the poor and poor software such as Xingchao.

In addition, Luo Fan did not hide his intentions. He directly told Zhang Jian that Xingchao was a social software developed by Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. in order to be prepared.

Luo Fan said this in front of him, which made Zhang Jian basically dispel his concerns about Xingchao. After he and Luo Fan talked nonsense, he hung up the phone and went to report to the boss.

Luo Fan breathed a sigh of relief after he put down his phone. This time, he should have been fooled, right?
