"pony, you are a good business leader with a long-term vision, but now is not an ordinary moment. The Internet is changing. If you don't change your mind now, you will be eliminated during this Internet change.
"Jiang Hua shook his head: "This time the Internet revolution is different from the past. No matter how it changed in the past, the Internet was operated based on computers, but this time it is different. Computers will no longer be the only Internet terminal."
pony thought for a while: "You mean, this time smartphones will replace computers and become the mainstream of Internet terminals."
"Computers will definitely not be eliminated, but for most ordinary people, using a mobile phone to browse the Internet is undoubtedly much easier than using a computer." Jiang Hua smiled: "Think about it for yourself, if you just use a smartphone, you can
Browsing content on the Internet, what does that mean for the Internet?"
pony took a breath: "The number of Internet users will increase unprecedentedly. For Internet companies, this means more users, more traffic, and more revenue. This is a new opportunity. If we seize
If you live there, even if you are worthless today, you will become an upstart on the Internet and a new billionaire tomorrow.”
"Then we shouldn't sell ICQ. ICQ has a large number of users all over the world, which allows us to reap the dividends of the new Internet as soon as possible." pony said in confusion: "You are equivalent to losing money to us except the mainland.
All markets have brought unprecedented resistance to our future market expansion. If we join QQ and go overseas, the first thing we will face is the behemoth ICQ."
Jiang Hua shook his head: "This brings us back to the topic we just talked about, building a brand new instant messaging software. Think about it yourself, why?"
"Yes, why?" Pony asked curiously: "Is there no need to waste resources at all? We just need to intelligently transplant our QQ. Now the company is doing such an operation."
"You still don't understand what smart instant messaging software is used for. To make a product, you must first know who your customers are?"
"Our customers are all Internet users, that's very clear."
"Wrong, big mistake." Jiang Hua sat up straight and said: "Most of the users of QQ used to be students. They learned about the world through this world, so they used QQ to meet new friends. In the past, you would dress up as a woman and talk to people.
Chatting is taking advantage of this opportunity, so QQ is positioned as a social network for strangers. Later, classmates, colleagues, and family members all derived from it."
“Isn’t the new messaging app for meeting strangers?”
Jiang Hua nodded: "It will have this function, but the main positioning is definitely not like this."
"Then I have to ask the boss to clarify my doubts."
Jiang Hua picked up the phone and asked, "What do you use your phone for?"
"Mobile phone? It must be used for communication and contacting people."
Jiang Hua asked: "Who should I contact?"
"Family, colleagues, friends."
Jiang Hua raised a finger: "Okay, family, colleagues, and friends, what do these three have in common?"
Pony suddenly realized: "They are all acquaintances and close people. The positioning of the new instant messaging software is the contact method between acquaintances, so the functions and applications cannot be similar to QQ."
"Yeah, you finally figured it out."
Pony shook his head: "I'm still a little confused. You can make phone calls, send text messages, and MMS messages to contact acquaintances. The functions of our instant messaging software overlap with these, so it's a bit unnecessary."
Jiang Hua smiled and shook his head: "You still haven't turned this corner. Just because the communication company has it, we can't have it. Besides, China Mobile can send text messages, so why did he build Fetion?"
"The function of Fetion is mainly to facilitate users to have disconnected contact with their mobile phones while using the computer."
Jiang Hua slapped the table: "Yes, a communications company can extend its hand to the Internet. Why can't our Internet company have a hand in mobile communications?"
"Boss, although our Huaxing Network can make all the difference on the Internet, in terms of size, we are still far from the mobile companies." Pony said jokingly: "If we compete with the mobile companies, we will probably lose miserably.
"
"There is no such thing as arm-wrestling." Jiang Hua said angrily to Pony: "I'm not involved in the communications industry, so why should I fight with the mobile company? You can jump into the fire yourself, but don't drag me into it.
"
"Mobile companies mainly provide communication services, and the rest are add-on. We are just competing with them. Everything is the user's choice."
pony asked: "Then what advantages do we have compared with mobile companies?"
"Let me ask you, how much does a text message cost and how much does a one-minute phone call cost?"
Pony shook his head: "I didn't know. I'm not a fussy person. I just charge up my phone if it runs out of money. Who cares about these small accounts?"
"Not talking about packages, text messages are only ten cents each, and phone calls are three-pointers per minute."
“Not expensive.”
"It's not expensive, but only for you and me." Jiang Hua said slowly: "For working people and students, you have to calculate the cost of phone calls. Their monthly communication fees are very limited."
"What does that have to do with us?"
Jiang Hua explained, "If our newly created instant messaging software can also send text messages, but it only uses network traffic charges, instead of the 10 cents per text message charge of China Mobile, wouldn't it be very economical?"
Jiang Hua continued: "If our new software can also make calls, it only uses data and does not require phone charges. Wouldn't it save money for people with low communication costs?"
"Boss, you are a bit unworldly, and the data charges are not cheap now."
"I know, of course I know that data charges are not cheap, but China Mobile and China Unicom also know that as more and more people use data, haven't they launched data packages now? Isn't it cheaper after all?"
Pony nodded: "This is considered cheap, but if the data package is used up, the loss of phone bills will be like water."
"Don't worry about this. Communications companies will continue to exit new businesses, reducing the cost of people's data usage." Jiang Hua shook the smartphone in his hand and said: "And haven't you noticed that smartphones have a function that can connect to wireless networks?
Internet, this thing is cheaper than a data plan. As long as you install a wireless router where there is Internet, wouldn't all problems be solved?"
pony stood up: "Boss, I will organize manpower to develop new software."
