Start earning money as the girl next door

The general ledger of the Internet economy later showed that in addition to its own local Internet dividends, Yingjiang also shared the Internet dividends in most parts of the world.

Flower cultivation is a local Internet industry, and the dividends are basically eaten by oneself, and part of the cake is radiated overseas, which is not as good as Yingjiang.But apart from Eagle Sauce, the second most Internet applications around the world are flower growers.

Old Europe and Japan are typical examples of those who have not reaped the dividends of the Internet. Since the 21st century, the economic aggregates of Europe and Japan have not grown, and their share of the global economic aggregate has regressed.

Japan is in a worse situation than the EU. It has lost ten, 20, 30 years, and I don’t know if it will lose 40 years.Its share of world GDP has gradually declined from 18% at its peak to 4%.

The main reason is that Japan's industries are too old, polishing many old technologies and old industries, and have not reaped the dividends of new technologies.

The development of flower growers is actually a combination of high, medium and low-level industries, and all kinds of dividends are eaten together, so it creates sustainable development.

Including Internet dividends, its contribution cannot be mythical, but it cannot be ignored either. After all, it objectively provides a huge incremental cake.

To feed and grow such a large body of flowers, there must be all growth opportunities...all of them!

Chapter 395 Reconciliation with Sogou

April 2005, 4, Beijing.

The lawsuit between Jingjing Pinyin Input Method and Sogou Input Method finally ended in an out-of-court settlement.

Mainly Sohu's boss Zhang also noticed that since the lawsuit has been going on for several months, friends of the portal website have been constantly ridiculing Sohu.

Sina, NetEase, TOM and even Tencent are reporting on this matter from time to time.

And what is Sohu’s status now? WBE Internet traffic ranking is actually second only to Sina and Baidu, ranking third in Chinese Internet traffic.Although, this only counts WEB websites and does not include users and traffic of client software.

But now Sohu is not a third-tier Internet manufacturer that can be ignored as it was later, but a leading manufacturer.

Although Zhang Chaoyang was groggy due to lack of sleep, he often read news about friends and businessmen.

Realizing that his friends and businessmen were laughing at him, he immediately asked Wang Xiaochuan to settle the lawsuit quickly.

Then, Wang Xiaochuan communicated with Han Xiu, and the two parties talked for several hours in a cafe.

After the conditions were negotiated, the two parties jointly held a press conference to announce an out-of-court settlement.

"For the long-term development of the Pinyin input method industry, and in order to better serve Pinyin input method users in the Chinese market, we have decided to enter into a mutual licensing agreement with Sogou Pinyin Input Method and Sogou Pinyin Input Method."

Han Xiu briefly introduced at the press conference, "As the CEO of the input method division appointed by Jingjing Application Software, I agree to settle out of court with Sogou."

Wang Xiaochuan also took the stage and smiled: "Our Sogou team realized that we made a small mistake due to negligence.

But now through communication, it has been properly resolved.

Jingjing Input Method has more patents than we do. As compensation, we spent 500 million yuan in cash to obtain more than 100 patents for Jingjing Pinyin Input Method.

In the future, Sogou Pinyin will develop hand in hand with Jingjing Pinyin to provide a better user experience for Chinese Pinyin input method users.

At the same time, we will also jointly maintain patents and intellectual property rights related to input methods.I hope that latecomers to the industry will respect knowledge products. "

Then, the two put on a show in front of the media, signed and shook hands, and exchanged documents.

In an instant, the technology media present all realized one thing. These two families... were in cahoots with each other!

Originally, the two companies were locked in a lawsuit over patents, but now they have formed an alliance.

As for the current Chinese Pinyin input method world, the boss is still Microsoft. Generally speaking, there are as many smart ABCs as there are WIN desktop operating systems. This thing is the default software bundled with the system.Whether you use it or not is one thing, but the system comes with it is another.

However, the number of smart ABC installations does not mean that its share is really stable.

In fact, the number of users who have installed Jingjing Pinyin has now reached 2300 million, and these users account for half of the Chinese market.

Users who install Jingjing Pinyin or Sogou Pinyin are naturally dissatisfied with the smart ABC that comes with the system.

During this period, Sogou Pinyin Input Method went against the criticism of the media and spent crazy money on advertising. In two months, the number of users has exceeded 300 million.

This is still the number of installations obtained despite the infamy. After the lawsuit is over, the number of Sogou Pinyin installations is expected to go further.

However, as far as the current industry landscape is concerned.Sogou Pinyin is the real leader in the industry that cannot shake Jingjing Pinyin.

……

"Boss, we have reconciled with Jingjing Pinyin and reached a cooperation agreement, aiming to exclude other input method companies from entering the market." Wang Xiaochuan reported happily.

"Yeah, I got it!" Zhang Chaoyang had little interest in the input method itself. The main reason was that there was no Chinese input method in Silicon Valley.

In a sense, Mr. Zhang’s thinking is still about what Silicon Valley does and what we copy.

The reason why I made the input method was because I saw the size of Jingjing Pinyin and I was so greedy for it.

Zhang Chaoyang thought that even if Sogou could not reach the user scale of Jingjing Pinyin, even if it was only half, it would still be an input method software second only to Jingjing Pinyin.

After gaining a large number of users, Zhang Chaoyang's idea was not to make good software, but to... squeeze the value of the software through pop-up ads!Deliver traffic to online games!

Goose Factory understands the wonderful use of pop-up ads.

In 2003, Goose Factory used pop-up advertisements to drive traffic to the two game products "QQ Game" and "Triumph".

"Triumph", a client-side online game, hit the market, which was Goose Factory's initial setback in the gaming industry.

But "QQ Game" has KOed all the online chess and card clients such as Lianzhong, Winger and so on!

The MMRPG online game failed, but the chess and card client quickly became the number one in the country.

It has been proven that Goose Factory’s pop-up tactics are indeed effective.

At the end of 04, Goose Factory made a comeback and produced "QQ Hall", which was almost a replica of the popular "Pao Pao Hall".

Relying on the direct login with QQ account and the advantages of pop-up advertisements, "QQ Hall" almost overwhelmingly crushed "Pao Pao Hall".

Although, despite being accused of plagiarism, "Bubble Hall" strictly speaking cannot beat Tencent.

Because, in fact, "Bubble Hall" also plagiarized "Bomberman" from the early arcade and Famicom era.

In short... you also copied it, and despite the controversy, you quickly took away the market share of "Bubble Hall".

Here, Zhang Chaoyang saw some clues, which were the advantages of traffic.Homogeneous products, those with traffic advantages are crushed by those without traffic advantages.

Zhang Chaoyang felt that if he first gets 1000 million users of the input method, and then desperately pops up windows, if he sends 100 million users to the game, the input method would be useless, and it wouldn't matter.

Because the traffic of the input method client is cheap, it is estimated that tens of millions of users will not require millions of promotion fees.

If it is an online game, if you want to promote an online game, it is very difficult to get a user without spending 30 yuan.

In addition, Zhang Chaoyang is reluctant to use Sohu's portal to promote games through crazy pop-up windows. Although he is greedy for the profits of games, he is afraid of ruining his most important job.

But it doesn't matter if it's an input method. Once its reputation gets bad, just throw it away.

Of course, Zhang Chaoyang never knew that Zhao Han had taken away the biggest opportunity in advance for Sohu, which he had longed for, to make a strategic transformation in online games.

Sohu's biggest opportunity originally was the game adaptation rights of Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

And now, the game copyright of Jin Yong's martial arts novels has been taken away by Zhao Han.

It can only be said that the fate is wonderful.

It was inevitable that Zhao Han noticed it and cut off some opportunities.

Strangely enough, Sohu attracted Zhao Han's attention.

and……

Zhao Han felt it didn't matter if he offended Sohu.In the future domestic Internet arena, the most powerful ones will not include Sohu.

The really awesome ones are BAT.Later, it was fight, group, shake, fast and so on.

Sohu's future status in the industry will only decrease with version updates.

Chapter 396 The pattern of small giants has gradually taken shape

After the lawsuit with Sogou Pinyin ended, Han Xiu was about to leave the capital and return to the company headquarters.

Before leaving, I met with Cheng Xue, CEO of Wenwen Jingjing Technology’s Beijing branch, to hand over some matters.

"Senior Cheng Xue. The water here in the capital is too deep and we need to develop in a low-key manner." Han Xiu said, "The boss said to keep a low profile, and I understand it deeply. It is better to be low-key... If you don't keep a low profile, in first-tier cities, you will be ignored by countless people." The ferocious beasts copied it and swallowed all the meat scraps."

"I know!"

Cheng Xue smiled and said, "Look, there was no press release when the Beijing branch was established. It was mainly about recruiting people.

Then, I will send people to Pixel Software for training. If they stay at Pixel Software, I will give them to them. If they are willing to come back, I am going to set up another game studio to develop new games if there are enough people.

The Beijing branch currently does not have any new business. It is mainly a platform for recruiting talents from local universities. "

"Well, that's good!" Han Xiu was originally afraid that she didn't know the heights of the world, but now it seemed that she was overthinking.

The company's culture of low-key development is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

My colleagues in Beijing are also Gou Daozhong people.

……

On April 2005, 4, Han Xiu returned to Jiangcheng County headquarters.

Conducted some reports on work in Beijing.

Then, he met Bai Xiaolu.

Even in the capital, Han Xiu cared about the company and paid attention to the company's new management.

After the Weibo project managed by Bai Xiaolu went online, the number of registered users and activity increased rapidly.

Han Xiu naturally wanted to have a good relationship with Bai Xiaolu as colleagues.

"Mr. Han, you are back. Jingjing Pinyin Input Method will iterate on a new version immediately to deliver traffic to our Weibo." Bai Xiaolu smiled, "I'm waiting for your approval when you come back!"

"You're welcome!" Han Xiu thought for a while, "Jingjing Pinyin Input Method will provide you with traffic support without affecting its own user experience... Remember, you can give me some user traffic in the future."

"Thank you!" Bai Xiaolu nodded, "Of course, we should help each other."

……

On April 2005, 4, Jingjing Pinyin released a new version, version 22.

The feature of the new version is that when the input method menu button enters the user's personal interface, there is an additional "sign-in" function.

Users who sign in every day can get gold coins ranging from 0.01 yuan to 0.1 yuan.

Currently, the currency obtained from this sign-in is tokens, not actual RMB, and cannot be withdrawn.But you can make various payments and purchases in the software Jingjing Pinyin Input Method.

For the time being, there is nothing else to consume except buying skins.

However, it can be regarded as guiding users to visit the personal center.

Advertising has also been launched in the personal sign-in center. The first advertisement currently is a joint promotion of "Super Girl".

The talent show "Super Girl" is indeed the most popular TV show in 05 due to its scale and momentum.

Any other TV program, even the Xinwen Network, will not be as topical as "Super Girl".

"Super Girl, Jingjing Pinyin, Weibo joint promotion:

If you are a Super Girl viewer, go to Weibo to follow the Super Girl contestants, and post, comment and forward support for the contestants you support!

Weibo is a more down-to-earth social platform for interaction between idols and fans. "

Advertisement links can also jump to Weibo web pages.

In name, it's to promote Super Girl.

But in fact, it is using the guise of promoting Super Girl to attract traffic to Weibo.At the same time, it also strengthens the entertainment attributes of Weibo.

Many people in later generations think that the fandom in the entertainment industry is not good, but... if you blow up the cesspit of the fandom, many people may become various strange circles and suck them away.

What kind of extreme environmentalists are they? Overseas developed countries turn a blind eye to the super fires and big pollution that affect the global climate, while they plant flowers and attack small pollution.

Eagle-sauce meat consumption is beef that consumes more feed and causes more pollution. They turn a blind eye and instead point fingers at growing flowers and eating some pork.

What kind of boxers, what kind of protectors of cats and dogs...

In fact, this weird thing is much more harmful than the entertainment industry.Entertainment is more prosperous, and entertaining yourself to death is better than those poisonous things, right?

What's more, you have restrictions on entertainment in your country, but other countries do not restrict entertainment, causing fans to shift to consume overseas idol groups, which is an even worse situation.

In a sense, star-making activities like Super Girl are truly grassroots stars selected through auditions, but they are among the entertainment stars in the past who have received the least negative press and thunder.

Under the powerful wave of traffic from Jingjing Pinyin.

On April 4, the number of new registrations on Weibo exceeded 22, and the total number of registrations exceeded the 15 million mark for the first time!

The number of daily IP visits exceeds 120 million, and the number of PV views exceeds 3000 million. It has roughly ranked among the more than 100 most visited global Internet, and also ranked among the more than 30 most visited Chinese Internet.

Well, ranking in front of Weibo is Tianya.com!
