Global monopoly of technology

Time flies, and 2018 has entered the last quarter. Luo Sheng’s work this year is basically focused on the Côte d’Azur and Horizon Safety International, and the Bluestar Technology he founded at the beginning has hardly paid much attention this year. There are no more than 10 visits to the company headquarters throughout the year, and the CEO's office has a turbulent rhythm.

Things on the Côte d’Azur side are finally almost set up. Luo Sheng did not continue to work in his free time, but gave himself a short holiday. After all, it is a statutory holiday, and rest and rest is not excessive.

After spending a few days of dire holiday life, Luo Sheng paid attention to the recent situation of Bluestar Technology.

October 8, Science and Technology Complex Building.

This morning, Luo Sheng had just finished a simple meal, and some important things that should be done this year were not completely settled. Only then did he think of Bluestar Technology, and immediately asked: “Xiaona, the internal and external news of Bluestar Technology What are there to be concerned about?"

Xiaona responded: "Internally, since May of this year, Zhang Bowen has faced the pressure of competition from Bytedance and has already stated within the management that Bytedance is very likely to be the number one potential competitor of Bluestar Technology in the future. Fully contain it, especially represented by short video services."

Hearing Xiaona's reply, Luo Sheng couldn't help being stunned, and smiled involuntarily after reacting.

In fact, Zhang Bowen, who is in charge of the operation of Bluestar Technology, did not know that Luo Sheng had already deployed Bytedance. Now he is not only the largest shareholder of Bytedance, but also holds a veto in his hand.

However, no one knows until now that Anaheim Asia, the "angel investor" by Bytedance, is actually controlled by the Luo Sheng family fund.

Only two people know the whole truth here. Luo Sheng himself and Qin Weimu, who had been arranged by Qin Weimu at the beginning, carefully designed the "vest" of Anaheim Asia and finally succeeded in winning the headlines. It is the byte beating now.

It’s just that Zhang Bowen, who didn’t know about it, felt very stressed. Bluestar Technology has gone through fifteen years and is now the world’s largest super-tech giant with a market value of US$2.5 trillion. Emerging Internet companies like this jumped on fear.

Luo Sheng didn't intend to tell Lao Zhang the truth at all. It might not be a bad thing to put him under a little pressure. Besides, he had to do enough to do the drama, so that it was true.

If Zhang Yiming found out that he was still working for Luo Sheng, it wouldn't be beautiful to quit in angrily. Luo Sheng still hoped that he could work for himself for a while.

Xiaona opened a screen in the room, called up a piece of information, and said: “Bluestar Technology is focusing on blocking ByteDance’s Douyin products in China. WeChat CEO Liu Jinlong and his team said “to avoid link brushing” The screen affects the reading experience of Moments. There is an anti-sweeping restriction on the spread of links in Moments. The gear is calculated based on the day. If the number of sharing of links in Moments triggers the upper limit of the day, it will be automatically blocked and processed the next day. Back to normal.'"

Luo Sheng immediately took the initiative to check the relevant news, and he was quite surprised when he saw it: "The two sides have been fighting so fiercely? Lao Zhang is also cruel enough."

In the face of byte-beating competitive response strategy, Zhang Bowen made a decisive move. It can be said that it is completely decoupled and blocked. It is not just as simple as a war of words, but just does it without hesitation, even if it is so-called. People in the industry criticized the name of "big bullying the small" at all costs.

The posture of Bluestar Technology's posture also made the industry look at it. As the undisputed social hegemon in the world today, people have discovered that since the rise of Bluestar Technology, there has never been an "overreaction" performance like today. Such a challenge to an unlisted startup company.

To some extent, this has made Bytedance's reputation.

After all, being suppressed by today's global social hegemony Thunder is a manifestation of strength in itself, and this also makes capital more and more favored by bytebeat.

How ruthless is Bluestar Technology's shots?

Its social platforms such as Blue Space, Weibo, and WeChat have all blocked it. This kind of strength is treated as a peer competitor, and it is not even that strong when competing with Google.

In Zhang Bowen’s eyes, social networking is the core of Bluestar Technology’s hinterland, and Bytedance is trying to spy on the hinterland of Bluestar Technology’s kingdom. It must respond in the most ruthless, fastest and most decisive way to destroy it. Have to discuss.

In the face of the sudden "not generous" variables of Bluestar Technology, Bytedance's life in the second quarter of 2018 was also very difficult, so that the two sides began to fight each other. Zhang Yiming, the head of Bytedance, couldn't help it. He jumped out and posted a dynamic statement on his social account: [If you don’t casually suppress applications and information flow, it is more worthy of the nearest company.]

Although no name was given, the majority of netizens know that they are talking about Bluestar Technology.

And Zhang Bowen directly stated that Zhang Yiming was "allergic" and said that "platforms are treated equally."

Friends who like to see melons say: Everyone’s surname is Zhang, why bother and embarrass each other...

In fact, ByteDance’s own problems cannot be concealed when facing this crisis. Its short video business, like most software that can quickly accumulate users, is indistinguishable from sideball and brutal growth in the early stages. open.

And this directly caused the country to take action. This so-called "blocking" actually originated from the country’s Internet short video rectification action in April. Relevant departments discovered that the company organized and promoted the "intension duo" client software and The associated official account has serious problems such as improper orientation and low style, and its parent company is ordered to permanently shut down the "Yiyi Duanzi" client software and its official account.

For this reason, the headline department had to quickly delink it and clean up the negative impact of this product.

After that, Zhang Bowen made a decisive move, with a stance of "taking your life while you are sick", and asked its social network media platforms such as WeChat, Blue Space, Weibo, Yunge Tieba to suspend short video APP outside the chain to play directly Features.

Connotation Duanzi is a software product that ByteDance has high hopes for, and its development speed is also very rapid. The number of users has soared to 200 million. The popular "Di, Didi" secret code has quickly become popular on the Internet. It is indeed right to face this ending. The byte beating is a big blow.

But the genes of Yii Duanzi were actually destined to end with this ending.

However, after experiencing the darkest moment of the second quarter, ByteDance, under the leadership of Zhang Yiming, finally quickly got out of the haze, which also attracted the attention of the industry.

"Master, Zhang Yiming just released a dynamic message."

At this moment, Xiaona gave a hint, and Luo Sheng curiously said: "Look what it is."

For a moment, the big screen in front of the screen immediately popped up with information. It was a message of Zhang Yiming's circle of friends. Two pictures were attached. One is the AOS App Store's global download rankings, and the other is a musical note, which is exactly the byte beating. Tik-Tok, the international version of its Douyin.

I uploaded two pictures with an English sentence: [CelebrateSmallsuccess]

Literally translated, it means "celebrate a little success".

Xiaona refreshed the interface, and soon left a message below this dynamic: [Tik-Tok in the third quarter of the AOS app store downloads the world's number one, Bluestar Technology's excuse can not stop the pace of Douyin]

A few minutes later, Zhang Bowen jumped out and left a message under this post: [Can be understood as slander]

Less than a minute or so, Zhang Yiming replied to Zhang Bowen: [The former is not suitable for discussion, and the latter has been notarized. I didn’t think there was a war of words. I just couldn’t hold back a complaint. I will send you the materials separately.]

Zhang Bowen replied to Zhang Yiming: [Too many of you to notarize]

Now you can see this circle of friends who are familiar with melon-eating netizens, and most of them are watching the excitement.

Seeing the posture of "Two Zhang" in the Moments of Friends, Luo Sheng couldn't help but laugh. When he saw Zhang Yiming released the Tik-Tok download list and ranked first in the world, he almost couldn't hold back let Xiaona use it. Like his account for the past.

The senior management of Bluestar Technology must be unhappy with this development, but Luo Sheng is the only one outside the list, and he hopes that Tik-Tok's momentum will be as hot as possible.

However, Luo Sheng finally gave up the idea of ​​liking, so don't come out to brush up on his presence at this time, otherwise people on both sides will be caught off guard, and they will think more about it.

That's not beautiful.
