Global monopoly of technology

The matter of the two big men surnamed Zhang each other in the circle of friends, was secretly observed by other big men who gave screenshots to circulate out. For a while, it caused a lot of attention in the industry, and they all turned into strong crowds watching melon eaters.

As a besieged hunter, Tik-Tok under the ByteDance's continuous blows in this midsummer has had a very difficult life, but in the end it has survived, and now it seems that it is all suffering.

After experiencing the "dark moment" of the second quarter, Tik-Tok now ranks first in the AOS App Store's global download list in the third quarter, with a specific download volume of 68.5 million, surpassing BlueSpace's BlueSpace , BV Video Network, WhatAPP, etc. became the most downloaded Azure applications in the world.

In the third quarter of this year, Blue Space had about 30 million downloads, ranking sixth on the list.BV Video Network, WhatAPP, and Messenger have respectively 45.5 million downloads, 33.8 million downloads, and 31.3 million downloads ranking second to fifth in order.

Tik-Tok has become the most downloaded app in the world today, and its installed capacity has beaten its competitors, including the rise of North America’s "burning after reading" software Snapchat, as well as the super social giant Bluestar Technology Inc. BV Video Network, MicroBlog, BlueSpace, etc.

In 2017 last year, Tik-Tok's monthly download volume was less than 10 million. The download volume of several core social applications under Bluestar Technology was higher than Tik-Tok, but it began to rise rapidly in the second half of this year. Last month In September, the number of downloads in the month reached 23.5 million, which is only the number of downloads from the AOS app store.

As of 2018, Tik-Tok's global downloads have reached 330 million. With the addition of 240 million users of Tik-Tok's predecessor "Musical.ly" software, the cumulative downloads have now reached 750 million. The current global monthly The number of active users has reached 400 million.

These dazzling data Tik-Tok only took less than two years, while BV video network used three years, Messenger used four years, WhatAPP used four years, and Blue Space used five and a half years.

The popularity did not know why, but it was out of control from this, sweeping the world, and the time users are willing to stay on Tik-Tok is also quite amazing. This social product is becoming more and more popular among local young people in North America.

In North America, local users have to open Tik-Tok about 8 times a day, an average of 5 minutes each time, corresponding to BlueSpace and WhatAPP under the Bluestar Technology Group, which are 4.9 minutes and 3.7 minutes respectively.

...

The headquarters of the Côte d'Azur, Galaxy City.

Early this morning, Zhang Bowen came to the French Riviera.

"Come in... yo, Lao Zhang? Haha, what brought you to my site?" Yao Jianhong's office saw that the person entering was Zhang Bowen, the actual head of Bluestar Technology, couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Bowen came in and sat down on the sofa in the lounge area. He was not polite at all. He immediately vomited: "Ah...Don't tell me, Douyin is not dead. I have trouble sleeping and eating. Recently, Zhang Yiming gave me food. I don't know the smell, I can't sleep at night."

Hearing this, Yao Jianhong came out of his desk, sat down opposite Lao Zhang, and joked with Erlang's legs tilted up, "How? It's not easy to be smashed by someone, right? Now you can understand It’s the taste of those old giants who were topped by Bluestar Technology ten years ago."

Zhang Bowen smiled bitterly and shook his head, and sighed: "I was careless. I couldn't shake the pot that made Zhang Yiming rise up. I couldn't shake the pot, or Mr. Luo's insight was terrible. I remember that in 2013, In a small chat with Mr. Luo, he mentioned Zhang Yiming and his headline product value attention, and tried to buy it. By 2016, it will not be a big threat. I did not expect it to be a year or two in a blink of an eye. Coincidentally, in the past two years, I have been involved in North America again, neglecting Zhang Yiming’s expansion..."

Now that these are all post-mortems, Tik-Tok's current momentum, by the end of the year, the global download volume is rushing to 1 billion.

In fact, Bluestar Technology did send people to find Zhang Yiming to initiate mergers and acquisitions many times, but they were rejected by the other party without exception. They had no choice but to give up. They made it clear that they didn't want to work with you, not only didn't want to, but also wanted to replace it.

However, although Zhang Bowen at the time admired Zhang Yiming’s ambitions, he did not think that the other party could pose much of a threat to Bluestar Technology. Old Zhang thought in his heart that he had N different ways to defeat his opponent, and he waited until all N methods were used. After that, Lao Zhang finally began to realize something was wrong with Nima.

Today, especially since the second half of this year, the global conquest of Tik-Tok, the international version of Douyin, has made the world "tremble".

Zhang Bowen said in a deep voice: "The great thing about Zhang Yiming is that the success of Tik-Tok can be replicated in all major markets around the world. The overseas version is so attractive, and there are actually not many changes in the way of playing. Overseas users are also playing the game. Gu games, sitcoms, jokes, somersaults, lip-synching, etc. The only difference is that the people in the short videos are no longer East Asian faces, and the language has changed."

Yao Jianhong nodded, and after a while he also analyzed: "The rise of Bytedance is also within my focus. The icebreaking of Tik-Tok in different overseas markets is due to accidental factors such as Bluestar Technology being involved in too much energy by North America. Exists, but in general, its operating ideas should be the same as that of domestic Douyin."

Seeing that the brother company Bluestar Technology is in a hurry now, Yao Jianhong's sense of crisis has also increased a bit. The Cote d'Azur is also facing a situation of lagging behind competitors in the field of smart homes, and it is not facing one or two opponents, but a group.

The old international companies such as Nokia, Motorola, and BlackBerry, which were killed or disabled by the Côte d'Azur, have not yet cooled their bodies. Yao Jianhong does not want to play with them.

But relatively speaking, the situation on the Côte d'Azur is much better. The Dabai robot is a real killer, which gives Yao Jianhong great confidence.

But the sense of crisis really exists. Being strong now does not mean that you can continue to be strong. The rise of oneself is achieved by stepping on the corpses of the old giants. There are many people who have the idea of ​​"that can replace them".

When Yao Jianhong finished speaking, Lao Zhang nodded and said: "You’re right. Zhang Yiming first increased the investment volume by hundreds of millions and burned money to attract celebrities. Then, the star effect brought a large number of young seed users. The first batch of traffic was brought in; then, relying on super strong operation to detonate the reputation. His three axe not only flourishes for domestic use, but also tried repeatedly in mature markets such as Japan, Europe, and North America."

At this time, Yao Jianhong looked at the other party and said: "Lao Zhang, you ran to me in a hurry, don't you want me to be your thug?"

Hearing this, Zhang Bowen helped his head to cough a few times, and then looked at the other party and said bluntly: "Well, you and I won't sell it, you guessed it, I came here this time just to ask you to do it once. The AOS and WOS terminals block byte-based products. That’s it, Zhang Yiming has to peel off his skin without dying, and my Bluestar Technology side continues to increase efforts, even if he can live, he will breathe a sigh of relief."

This trick is really ruthless, and it's a totally unreasonable trick to behave as a hooligan.

This is what Zhang Yiming is most afraid of. As long as the Blue Coast also intervenes in this dispute, it will be a serious blow to the byte beating, and an accident may directly cool the rhythm.

Smart phones are currently the core carrier foundation of the mobile Internet. Blocking from the AOS and WOS ends means that about 65% of mobile phone users worldwide are directly isolated and can only absorb users in the Android camp.

And behind Android is Google. Google is a Silicon Valley technology giant. Now Lao Mei is not only unhappy with Bluestar Technology and the Blue Coast, but also with all the people surnamed "Hua". Tik-Tok's current momentum is also very present in North America. , Has already entered the sight of Lao Mei, Zhang Yiming has already felt the strong hostility of Lao Mei.

In order to understand the operation of the baby's goods, I will arrange for you someday.

Therefore, even if ByteDance is gaining momentum now, its fragile side is objectively present. Once it collapses, it will be the rhythm of blood collapse. Although Zhang Yiming showed off his achievements in the circle of friends and complained, it is also a sense of crisis. Full.

"It's definitely not possible, Lao Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I can't. Once this is done, the damage to the third-party developer community will produce a sequelae that may not be healed for ten years, which shakes the third-party development. The foundation of the community, and this will shake the core competitiveness of the Riviera."

When Yao Jianhong listened to the other party’s request, he refused without even thinking about it, and added: “If you want to block from the consumer terminal, Zhang Yiming must make his own mistakes. Just like the blockade of'intension', everyone There is nothing to say."

Yao Jianhong said that he would not open this head. As long as he sits in this position and is in charge of the Blue Coast, he cannot be passed.

Once this kind of start is made, what will other third-party developers think?Will a certain product rise in the future, and as long as it threatens you, will it be an indiscriminate blockade?

This will not only cause troubles such as a series of lawsuits and anti-monopoly investigations on the Blue Coast. The most deadly thing is that the vitality of the developer community will no longer exist and gradually evolve into a stagnant pool. Some people with lofty ideals will inevitably worry about their products. When he got up, he was finally ruthlessly blocked by the Blue Coast and died.

And these people with lofty ideals are precisely the core group that ensures the vitality of the community.

It's simply pushing excellent developers to the Android camp. Those in Google management who want to see this happen, Larry Page will probably laugh out loud in his dreams.

Zhang Bowen smiled bitterly for a long time and was speechless, only to see him leaning back on the sofa looking at the ceiling and sighing: "Using current Internet buzzwords, the baby feels bitter."

Yao Jianhong couldn't help but smile and said, "Lao Zhang, before you came, you knew that I would not agree to it. This is not clear. You just want to find someone to spit out and release the recent pressure. At Bluestar Technology, you can only get bored. Now, I feel bitter but I can’t say anything. I can’t be discouraged to my subordinates and hurt morale. I’m embarrassed to go to Mr. Luo for my boss, so I can only come to me. I know, maybe I will come to you someday. , The same situation as you."

Zhang Bowen muttered to himself: "You're right, it's really cool to top others, and it's really uncomfortable to be topped by others. You can feel the taste of both ends, Maade."

If poor baby Zhang knew that Bytedance and Tik-Tok had been arranged by his immediate boss for a long time, he would not be so suffering, and he would not come to Yao Jianhong for comfort.

It's just that they are still kept in the dark, including Zhang Yiming and everyone outside.

Co-authored for a long time, is the left hand hit the right?

Don't bring such a trick.
