Global monopoly of technology

Venture capital fund headquarters.

Liu Wen, who was sitting in the office, called his assistant and asked, "How has the blue space website been developed recently? Do you have market survey data?"

The assistant nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, we have obtained the latest data on the Blue Space website. So far, the cumulative number of user registrations on the website has reached 14.8 million, with 9.5 million active users and 257 million page views. ."

"What?" Liu Wenyi was shocked when he heard it, and subconsciously said: "Why is the proportion of active users so high?"

Not only that, the monthly user growth rate was nearly 10 million. This is where he is most shocked. This data is crazy. Compared with the growth data of QQ over the same period, the blue space website has almost completely exploded QQ.

The assistant continued: “More than a month ago, the Blue Space website launched a photo function. This photo sharing function became popular once it was launched, driving an explosive growth of users. Data shows that only in the last month Inside, the number of photos uploaded by users of the Bluespace website has exceeded that of any other website."

It’s not surprising for Luo Sheng that the number of photos uploaded exceeds other websites, because photo sharing is one of the most core social functions of Bluespace. Now you can even remove "one". The current Bluespace website has photo functions. It is the core, there is no one.

Liu Wen thought secretly: "Not to mention absolute success, but the prospects for Bluestar Technology's success are indeed getting brighter. With the current momentum, the future may be able to challenge QQ or even surpass it."

Thinking of this, Liu Wen now regrets that he was a step late and failed to get the angel round of financing from Bluestar Technology. Xu Chenghua took the lead.

Can't help but sigh secretly, QQ's sense of smell in the field of social networking is better than others.

Judging from the current development momentum, the Blue Space website is definitely the most eye-catching social networking site in the Internet world. The user growth rate has been comparable to that of QQ. It has been 5 years since QQ was established and went public. Time is up.

The Blue Space website under Bluestar Technology has only been more than three months old. Although the total number of users is less than 15 million, it is still very different from QQ users.

But the growth momentum of the blue space is too strong, this is the point.

Liu Wen immediately asked: "Can you find out the current financial situation of Bluestar Technology? I remember Xu Chenghua showing off in front of me at the beginning, as if the angel round financing only took 1 million. With the current data, users share a lot of photos. , The Internet fee alone is enough to drink a pot, one million can’t help but hit.”

His assistant replied: "Bluestar Technology expanded the team a month ago. Now their company has about 20 or 30 people, and the current development status. The amount of funds used is increasing. It is not difficult to speculate that they are combined. The fund should bottom out soon. I think Bluestar Technology will definitely seek a new round of financing within this month."

"It makes sense." Liu Wen nodded and said decisively: "If you missed the angel round of financing, you must not miss the pre-A round of financing. You should prepare the materials as soon as possible. I will visit the founder of Bluestar Technology in person. "

Liu Wendan packs up votes. Now it is estimated that he is not the only VC who is staring at Bluestar Technology, and most of the other venture capital institutions have already stared.

Large investment companies are all strategies of casting the Internet. They are not investing in any company. They invest in the entire track. So far, Bluestar Technology may be a rare excellent racer in the Internet field. His VC is naturally not less.

The Internet industry has not appeared in this situation for a long time since the cold winter. Insiders have even concluded that the Internet industry has basically done what it can do.

The "blue phenomenon" emerging now is undoubtedly a slap in the face.

As one month passed, the blue space website reached nearly 15 million user registrations. During this time, several new social networking sites suddenly appeared in the industry, all of which were highly imitation blue space models.

However, most of the online products are basically semi-finished products, and there are a lot of bugs, and there is no photo function, because the development is still in progress, and it will take at least a month or two to go online.

Luo Sheng's launch of the photo function is a time gap, and development takes time.

The industry is staring at the development of the blue space, especially some people who study the B community, find that this company likes to update the website at around three or four in the morning and upload some new content, so many people stare at it most of the night.

A typical example is the renren.com website development department under QQ. There is a dedicated person to do this.

In this posture, Zhao Peng wanted to let R company copy the rhythm to the end.

And Bluestar Technology is also staring at Agency R. Xu Yong stared spontaneously. Rhythm Master recently flew with a rhythm belt on the Internet. Agency R on QQ faced his crazy mockery, basically Treating with silence is mainly weak by three points in terms of momentum.

After all, netizens who eat melons have sharp eyes, and they can do this kind of thing silently. They are justified and confident. Maybe the rhythm is getting more and more fierce, but it is not good for R company.

Zhao Peng's strategy is very simple, thinking that this is "bearing humiliation" and working silently. As a person of Tengxun, he is very clear about one thing-user habits.

User habits are a terrible thing. Once they are formed, they are basically stable.

As long as users develop user habits in R, the retention rate will go up.

Xu Yong also registered an account with R agency, which is one of his main attack positions. R agency did not delete his account. In fact, he wanted to delete it, but R agency felt that this might not be a bad thing.

"Boss, as expected, the shameless R community finally launched the photo function." Xu Yong yelled immediately, adding sarcastically with a look of indignation: "But the interface is pretty bad and reasonable, and it's not very smooth. Can’t wait for the result of the hurried launch."

Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the lounge, said to Bai Lang and Feng Yi immediately: “Let’s wait for R agency to launch the photo sharing function. As for other messy communities that are online, let’s just ignore it, our main competitor. It is the R company, followed by [51 personal space]. As for the others, they can be classified as "others", but you should pay attention to the situation in North America."

Luo Sheng is most worried about whether the intercepted Xiaozha will start Facebook again in North America. The key is that North America is now the world's largest single Internet market. The current Internet users in the United States are 140 million. Scale, followed by domestic.

Luo Sheng obviously will not give up the overseas market. The international version of the blue space is inevitable, so he has a sense of time urgency. He immediately said: "Bai Lang, Feng Yi, prepare to launch our label function, let’s do it. One point is that it has been plagiarized and never surpassed."

"Always plagiarized, never surpassed?" Xu Yong pondered these words and couldn't help but froze for a while, and then gave a thumbs up: "As expected of the boss, wonderful!"

Feng Yi said: "Update now? Now in the daytime, there are millions of users using Blue Space. Should we wait until midnight to push the code? Even if the code goes wrong, it will not affect many users."

Luo Sheng shook his head and resolutely said: "Move fast and break the routine. Of course, it is online now. The label function has been developed more than a month ago. After using it for so long and continuously optimizing it, you are worried that the code will have problems?"

The boss said so, the two of them who maintain the website naturally have no objection, and immediately pushed the code according to Luo Sheng's request.

The photo tagging function has been quietly launched. There is no doubt that the blue space website is one step ahead in terms of user experience.
