Global monopoly of technology

"Is this still unsatisfactory?"

Xu Yong couldn't help but complain, and his heart was too big. At present, there are more than 600 million Internet users worldwide. Is it a small goal to make 300 million of them become blue space users within two or three years?

In their opinion, this is already an illusion.

Luo Sheng leaned on his wheelchair and smiled calmly and said: "You only have this imagination? The growth of Internet users in the future will explode. Now there are less than 100 million Internet users in my country, but there are more than 1 billion people in my country. Without access to the Internet, with such a large population base, the future has endless room for imagination."

The growth momentum of the blue space website comes from the photo tag function, and the like function is currently the best function to maintain user activity. How big is the small like function?Not only does this change the product decision of the Blue Space website, but also other websites.

Luo Sheng said: "With the take-off of the like function, for the first time, we have a truly fundamental change. It has changed the user's habit of using the B community. During the pre-A round of financing, I used to talk to investors Say 300 million in two years. In fact, what I want in my heart is to be faster."

Xu Yong, Feng Yi and others secretly smacked their tongues.

Seeing their lack of confidence, Luo Sheng immediately said: “It seems like it is an impossible feat to achieve the goal of 300 million users of the Blue Space website within two years. What we are fighting for is to make the impossible. It becomes possible. When you first joined the company, who would have thought that our business would develop to this level? Who would have thought that the blue space website has reached more than 40 million user registrations in just over three months. Who would have thought that Bluestar Technology is currently valued at more than 1 billion yuan?"

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng looked around and pointed to himself, "I thought about it, I did it, and I can still do it!"

These words immediately mobilized several young managers in the conference room, and their confidence was inexplicably raised.

Yes, no one would have thought that Bluestar Technology could be valued as a 1 billion-level startup company. This is a miracle in itself, and Luo Sheng is the core creator of this miracle.

So why not continue to believe that he can create new miracles again?

"You are the boss, we all believe, and firmly believe." Xu Yong smiled: "Then what should we do next?"

Irene and others at the meeting also focused their attention on Luo Sheng. He thought for a while and said: "If you want to achieve this seemingly impossible feat, the blue space website should also have some attitude. This has changed. Before, we only served college students, but there are more than a thousand universities across the country, and the number of new students entering the university each year is limited. Therefore, our products can not only focus on universities, and there is enough to expand beyond campus Reason."

Expand beyond campus?

Everyone nodded silently, and then they remembered what Luo Sheng once said, the ideal and mission injected into the blue space is to connect all mankind. Although it was born in a school, it will not be limited to the school intranet in the end.

Irene said: "After the company moved into the Jinmao Building, it has currently purchased three commercial vehicles, purchased servers, and corresponding hardware expansions. A total of 3.3 million has been spent, and there are more than 74 million surplus funds for expansion."

Irene, who served as the chief financial officer of Bluestar Technology, soon played the role of CFO and was fully responsible for corporate financial audit management.

"OK, just follow the current established strategy and complete the expansion of the company's staff to 100 within this week. In addition, the finance department will use another 10 million expenditures for the promotion of the blue space website." Luo Sheng ordered in an orderly manner. The participating managements also took over his task requirements and ended the meeting.

Luo Sheng watched Irene and they were all preparing to leave this meeting room, and immediately said, "Xu Yong, Feng Yi, you stay."

The two sat back again, and the last one to leave, Irene, closed the door of the conference room. After a while, Luo Sheng said: "It is not enough to just transfer the expansion goal from university to the whole society. To grow, we need to develop new products to maintain the product advantages of the blue space website."

Competitor renren.com is backed by Tengxun and intends to copy it to the end. Luo Sheng has calculated that the R community will probably be launched in June, and will also look beyond campus.

Now the two sides have begun to face the competition, grabbing users on each other’s territory. The competition has entered the next scene, and the money-burning war has begun, which undoubtedly intensified the fierce competition. Just as Luo Shengzui marked out a 10 million promotion fee. , And may not be enough.

Regardless of the pre-A round of financing that has received more than 70 million, once this starts to grab users, both parties enter the mode of burning money, and more than 70 million is really not spent.

What's more, Blue Space not only faces direct competition from renren.com, but also indirect competition from QQ. Although the two parties have different models, they do not seem to be in conflict. Now many users have both QQ accounts, as well as blue space and renren accounts. , And with continuous expansion, similar overlapping users will increase.

For both Blue Space and QQ, there will be fierce competition in the time of opening the product, that is, the competition of activity.

When a user browses the blue space, the time spent on QQ will be relatively reduced, and vice versa. The user’s activeness in using the product is very important, and the most obvious manifestation is a direct impact on revenue.

"Boss, I guess you must have a new creative idea." Xu Yong couldn't help but shine when Luo Sheng said that he wanted to develop new products.

"Don't guess, you must have it." Feng Yi smiled.

The two looked at Luo Sheng unanimously, the latter nodded with a smile, and said: "I decided to let Blue Space complete a'big facelift', new ideas, I call them'message flow', at the latest To complete the launch of the project before the end of the fall, we only have about three months left. At the end of this summer, we will launch the message flow project."

Xu Yong curiously said: "Message flow? What kind of functional product is this?"

After hearing this, Luo Sheng said with a confident expression: "If photo sharing is the core of the blue space, then the message flow is the fundamental. This is a subversive product and a viral marketing concept that allows users to have an avatar. "

"This product, in simple terms, is a series of news. It contains everything that happened on the Blue Space website. It just collects status updates and personal homepage changes. It should be an aggregator that collects all stories. Of course, there will be a set With the new logic algorithm, it is impossible for us to show all the content to users."

Although Luo Sheng is the CEO of the company, he has not forgotten his identity as a technology developer. This is the biggest competitive advantage. A technology-oriented CEO like him is currently rare in the industry, but in the original world , If the founder of the company does not have the ability to develop technology, he is embarrassed to start a business.

The times are different, and the world is different, so there is no need to compare them.

Luo Sheng drank slobber, gestured and said, "There are mainly two streams in it, one is what you are doing, and the other is what other people are doing on the Internet. It is not static, not boring, and not useless. , It should be a continuously updated'newspaper', that is, it can tell you what is happening on the Bluespace website, and we think there are some things you might be concerned about."

Xu Yong couldn't help being amazed. His thinking was also very quick. He immediately realized the role of this news flow and couldn't help but exhilarated: "This idea is amazing. Why do you always think of such a good idea?"
