Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 336 Instant Translation Online, Breaking International Communication Barriers

Pengcheng, Tengxun headquarters executive meeting.

"It's an exaggeration to easily harvest 3 million users in just one week."

"The real exaggeration is that the Bluestar Technology Group has achieved such a huge scale, but there is no bottleneck in its innovation capability, which means that it is far from reaching the ceiling."

"After all, the overall scale of overseas Internet users is much larger than that in China, and Bluestar's international business has been very successful. Only with these foundations can they reap users."

At this moment, the senior executives inside Tengxun are full of emotion and envy.

I am afraid that no Internet practitioners would not envy. Users are the root of all Internet companies and the cornerstone of everything.

WhatAPP's performance is obviously a super hot model, its debut is the peak, more than 3 million users were harvested in the first week of launch, and a monthly increase of tens of millions of users. This is still when the scale of mobile Internet users is far less than that of PCs.

"Why didn't Bluestar Group launch the same service in the Mainland?" Xiao Ma said concisely.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one immediately expressed their opinions on this question. This is not only a question from Teng Xun, but also a big question in the minds of many people in the industry.

According to the usual operation of Bluestar Technology, the international version and the domestic version are generally dual-issued.

WhatAPP, a cross-platform chat application, only launched an international version, and the Bluestar Technology Group official did not come out to explain it, and everyone involved was very puzzled.

"It may be the problem of the scale of mobile Internet users." Xu Chenghua replied, and after a while he analyzed: "Currently, the number of PC Internet users across the country has reached 338 million. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated at the 3rd Mobile Internet Symposium that at present, my country The number of mobile Internet users has reached 192 million, an increase of about 62.7% over last year, but in my opinion, this is a mobile Internet user in a broad sense, and the number of users in the true sense is only 10 million."

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, those mobile phones that can simply use the web, to put it bluntly, are also included in the mobile Internet users.

But the real mobile Internet users can only look at the shipments of Côte d’Azur mobile phones over the years, because until now, only the Côte d’Azur is selling real smartphones.

In other words, there are only more than 50 million mobile Internet users worldwide.

Teng Xun’s internal analysis really hit three points. Luo Sheng did not launch in the country because the mainland market has not yet risen. If you launch first, you will be frantically smashed by peers. If you are creative now, you will come up with friends in the next second. Business.

What is a friend?It's the enemy!To treat the enemy is generally to kill him.

Therefore, Bluestar Technology plans to wait another year before releasing the corresponding applications in the Mainland, because after 2010, the environment has undergone a tremendous change.

Now major mobile phone manufacturers or new brands are making great efforts. Around 2010, new smartphone brands like Xiaomi will also launch their own products, and then copycats will take off, and the mainland Internet users will explode directly.

Teng Xun now suddenly feels that Bluestar Technology is in trouble. Although the two sides have already started to compete, they are also in the field of social software in a broad sense. Now the other side launches WhatAPP.

This thing is instant messaging software, and the threat to QQ is much higher than that of blue space.

Blue Space is just a social networking site, not an instant messaging. The competition between the two parties is just about grabbing time for users to use their products.

However, Bluestar Technology Group's entry into the instant messaging business this time has already caused a huge threat to the hinterland of Tengxun's kingdom. What's even more frustrating is that you have nothing to do.

Because WhatAPP is released overseas, Bluestar Technology's global business is doing well, but Tengxun’s QQ is limited to China. At most, the Southeast Asian generation cannot go to sea in an all-round way. You don’t even have the means to threaten the other party.

Can't follow.

This made Brother Xiao Ma couldn't help but think of how Huawei got up. Huawei was almost unable to mix in the mainland back then, but miraculously took off overseas and then returned.

He doubts whether Luo Sheng is also implementing such a strategic policy to allow WhatAPP to occupy the market abroad, to build the world's most popular instant messaging application on the mobile Internet side, and then to cultivate the mainland with pressure.

By that time, the ceiling of QQ had been forcibly locked by the opponent, and then besieged in the interior and gradually eroded and strangled.

The final decision made by Teng Xun, who had been in the meeting for three days, was to study WhatAPP repeatedly, then find the bright spots, and then develop functions that conform to the habits of domestic users and add them to QQ.

As for the so-called WeChat, Tengxun now has no such awareness.

Even if there is Luo Sheng, there will be no panic. The number of mobile Internet users in the Mainland is there, and it will be so big if they die, unless Tengxun can make WeChat extremely perfect, what kind of content such as circle of friends, public accounts, etc. Elements can't be thought of all at once and launched so quickly.

For Teng Xun, the biggest crisis is that he knows that the other party is not good, but he can't think of a good solution, which is undoubtedly frustrating.

At present, the market value of Tengxun, a domestic Internet company, is second only to Bluestar Technology Group, reaching 49.7 billion US dollars. It can be said to be a very successful Internet company.

There are two main factors that support the market value of Tengxun’s nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars. The first is holding about 8% of Bluestar Technology Group’s equity. Tengxun has sold a part of Bluestar Technology’s stock. Now it is a bit regretful. For the current 8%, everything is in your hands.

The other is its game business. Tengxun is not so much a social network company as it is an online game agency. Its two major cash cows "CF" and "DNF" continue to attract money for it. The former claims "300 million mouse gun battle dream", the latter is known as "eight million warriors."

After this penguin tasted the sweetness in the game field, he continued to work quietly here, because QQ's advertising monetization ability is really touching, and the blue space does not care about the grade, even if it is limited to the domestic market.

However, QQ captured the group of students and game players, and perfectly diverted to the game sector to achieve a strong monetization ability. It's just that the result of this operation is that Xiao Ma is now scolded hundreds of thousands of times by the majority of players every day, and the data is still Rising emmm...

...

Liu Jun is an ordinary Chinese young man, but he likes to surf the Internet very much. Of course, this requires scientific Internet access.

But Liu Jun has an irreparable shortcoming, that is, he does not understand foreign languages. Of course, he knows the word beginning with the F letter, but it is of no use.

I want to see the international version of the BV video website, all of which are raw meat, the page text is in a foreign language, and the video is also in a foreign language, or English, or Spanish, or French, or German.

Liu Jun has nothing to do today and is surfing the Internet. The world is so big and I want to see it everywhere, but his wallet is not powerful, so it is an important way to understand the outside world through the Internet.

Today he logged into BlueSpace as usual, and he also has an international BlueSpace account.

Just when he landed in Blue Space, a small advertisement popped up.

This kind of operation is very annoying for users, but compared to the endless advertisements of QQ or other free Internet products in China, Bluestar Technology is simply not too conscientious.

Liu Jun had subconsciously closed the small advertisement window in the lower right corner, but when he moved the mouse to the upper right corner of the small advertisement window, he took his hand in time.

"Instant translation, can you communicate with international friends without understanding foreign languages? Access to the Internet?" Liu Jun stared at the small advertisement window for a moment, and then decided to click in to take a look. He found that it was an accident. Surprise.

Liu Jun suddenly felt that Bluestar Technology knows himself too well, so he simply dozed off and delivered a pillow. He just lacked such a service to solve his troubles of surfing the Internet.

So began to carefully browse the details of this product.
