[Can WeChat Assistant challenge QQ’s throne in the social field]

After Xu Xing clicked on the hot search tag of [WeChat Challenge QQ], the page jumped, and the article that appeared at the top was this.

Seeing the thousands of likes, hundreds of comments, and a large number of retweets, Xu Xing felt a bit toothache.

He tried refreshing the page, and the number of likes immediately increased by dozens online. After refreshing it again, it was another dozen.

Almost every second someone is paying attention to this stuff.

"Have you checked who the author is?"

Xu Xing asked Peng Yuxuan while clicking on this article.

"This seems to be content written by an ordinary user." Peng Yuxuan said helplessly, "The screen name used is not the real name. Unless we can contact Weibo, we should not be able to find out the specific situation of this person."

While listening to Peng Yuxuan's report, Xu Xing turned his attention to the content of this article.

It starts with a violent argument——

[In the era of mobile Internet, QQ may be about to step down from the altar]

[I don’t know who can step on the corpse of QQ and ascend to the throne, but at present, it seems that the WeChat Assistant launched by Qunxing Company at the beginning of the month may have great potential!]

[As we all know, in the era of PC, Tencent carried QQ all over the world, and the 3Q war in the previous two years is still vivid in our minds]

[Although the reputations of Tencent and QQ were ruined by that battle, it also completely allowed Tencent's QQ to secure its position as the largest social software in the country, with a market share of at least 80%.]

[In this case, why do I say that QQ will face challenges and even step down from the altar? 】

【Because the era of mobile Internet is coming!】

[Many friends may wonder how the popularity of smartphones will affect the status of QQ? 】

[After all, Tencent had already begun to deploy the mobile version of QQ very early on. Although it didn’t pay much attention to it at that time, it has taken care of it in the past two years. The current number of mobile QQ users is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.

[Originally, the author had this idea and downloaded mobile QQ early. The user experience is pretty good. It basically fully inherits the main functions of QQ on the computer]

[It seems that as long as QQ can continue to convert computer users to mobile QQ step by step, then QQ will be almost invincible]

【but!】

[After I downloaded the WeChat Assistant launched by Qunxing Company a while ago, it completely changed my view!]

[The author believes that as long as WeChat Assistant is given enough room to grow, even if WeChat Assistant cannot defeat QQ in the future, it will still have a good chance of dividing the world with QQ!]

[QQ’s monopoly on instant messaging social software will be completely broken!]

Seeing this, Xu Xing couldn't help but be a little speechless.

He, the founder of WeChat Assistant, doesn't dare to say such big words. Now he is promoting WeChat with the mentality that it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

If we can really take a piece of meat from QQ and occupy our own market share, then it will naturally be good.

But if it doesn't succeed, it can also move closer and develop towards a pure game promotion platform, and it won't be in vain.

Now seeing the author of this article boasting so much about WeChat, Xu Xing, the founder of WeChat, is embarrassed.

But having seen this, Xu Xing still had to bite the bullet and continue to look down, wanting to know how this guy was bragging.

[Everyone may be relatively unfamiliar with Qunxing Company, so I will briefly introduce it here]

[Qunxing Company currently has four subsidiaries, including the earliest Tianshu Game and Entertainment Company, the Qunxing Investment Management Company established in Kyoto, and the subsequently established Tianxuan Information Service Company, and Tianquan WeChat Network Company

[Among them, the one that everyone is most familiar with should be Tianshu Company, which is the team formerly known as Tianshu Studio that produced the popular Fruit Assassin across the country]

[Since then, this game company has successively launched two phenomenal parkour games: Secret Escape and Happy Run]

[At the same time, what many people have not noticed is that following the simultaneous launch of these two parkour games, there is also the "WeChat Assistant" launched by Tianquan Company]

[That is, the protagonist of our article today]

[For those who haven’t heard of WeChat Assistant, don’t worry, let’s first talk about what this software is used for]

[In the beginning, the main function of WeChat Assistant was not mobile chat, but a comprehensive game platform]

【What does it mean?】

[That is to say, as long as you download WeChat Assistant and register an account, all games under Tianshu Company can be fully interoperable with one account]

【Does this sound familiar to everyone?】

[Yes, some large domestic game manufacturers do this, and the one that does it best is QQ, a subsidiary of Tencent]

[Obviously, Qunxing Company’s ambitions in this regard are also not small. They have only launched three games and are already coveting the market share of the gaming platform]

[And you should know that although Tianshu Company has only released three games so far, they are all popular in the market]

[Fruit Assassin, domestic downloads have exceeded 40 million, Secret Escape 25 million, Happy Run 20 million]

[In recent times, almost all my friends who play mobile games have not escaped the harvest of these three games]

[And many of my friends download all three games and switch between them when they are bored]

[But the really scariest thing, in my opinion, is actually the WeChat Assistant hidden behind these three games!]

[WeChat Assistant can not only directly connect to friends on the three games, but also directly enable the method of adding friends to the address book, greatly expanding its potential user pool]

[And they also put a lot of effort into the interaction between friends]

[Not only can you check your friends' game score rankings in real time on it, but you can also open all its games with one click, and interact with friends through "invite", "share", "battle" and other methods]

[And once users start using the chat function that comes with WeChat Assistant, WeChat will have unconsciously begun to cultivate users’ usage habits]

Xu Xing held his chin up and saw this, his eyes gradually became serious, and he felt that something was wrong.

If you were just a simple netizen, it would still be understandable to make some violent comments.

However, being able to analyze the product logic of WeChat Assistant in this way is beyond the reach of a simple well-meaning netizen.

Especially looking further down, the author of this article goes straight to the core.

[Let’s take a look at the updated content of WeChat Assistant 1.2 and 1.3]

[Version 1.2 adds a voice conversation function, which greatly facilitates conversation interaction on mobile phones and provides more scenarios for how everyone chats]

[For example, when walking on the road, in the past, if you wanted to reply to a message, you had to hold your phone with both hands. If you didn't pay attention to the road, you would be in danger. It would be even more troublesome if you were holding other things in your hands.]

[But with the voice conversation function, users only need to press the button with one hand, talk and walk while looking ahead, without worrying about risks and troubles]

[In addition, I think this function is a huge boon for middle-aged and elderly people who are not familiar with pinyin typing]

[Today’s young friends may not know that at least among people over 40 years old, a large number of people who cannot pinyin definitely account for a large proportion]

[Although mobile phones also have their own Wubi input method, it is obvious that this is not as convenient as direct voice dialogue]

[I just recently recommended WeChat Assistant to my parents. After getting used to it for two or three days, I am now more proficient in using the voice conversation function to send me messages]

[I highly recommend everyone to give it a try to their parents]

[Oh, by the way, if the production team of WeChat Assistant can see this article, it is recommended to add a blocking function to the game rankings and real-time online]

[Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be seen by my parents every time I play games]

[If I weren’t about to graduate and find a job, I would probably have my phone confiscated by my parents just like when I was still in high school]

Seeing this, Xu Xing couldn't help laughing. After taking a pen and paper to write down this function, he planned to discuss it with Liao Qinyu later to see if he should add it.

[Other than that, the thing that wows me the most is probably the “People Nearby” function that was just updated a few days ago]

[This feature can be turned on or off at your own discretion. Once turned on, you will be found by other WeChat users around you who also turn on this feature]

[And your list will also show the actual distance between these users and you. You can choose to interact with them, add friends, and even if you have a good chat, you can find time to make an appointment.]

[Of course, I already have a girlfriend, so I just briefly tested this function without going too deep into it]

[What really makes me feel great is that WeChat Assistant makes good use of their game resources. The nearby people function not only allows you to chat directly with strangers around you, but also invites them to play games]

[This is simply great news for those who are afraid of society]

[It is very difficult for them to greet strangers directly, even on the Internet, but if they just play an entertaining game without saying much, it is an easy way to promote mutual relationships and feelings]

[The previously trending Weibo sharing of "You can find a girlfriend by playing Fruit Assassin" also proves this point]

[To sum up, WeChat Assistant first accumulated its initial user base through the traffic of three popular games]

[Subsequently, through three version updates, we further expanded our user base by using three new functions: address book friends, voice conversations, and nearby people]

[Here, I can boldly guess that the current number of registered users of WeChat has probably exceeded 3 million!]

[You know, this is just the results of WeChat Assistant just one month after it was launched!]

[Similar to this kind of strong social software, the larger the user base, the faster the subsequent growth rate will be]

[It has already reached the level of millions in the first month. If there are no big surprises, WeChat Assistant may really be able to shake the solid foundation QQ has accumulated on the PC side! 】

After reading the entire article, Xu Xing sighed.

Originally, I wanted to have a good and obscene development and try not to be too high-profile.

However, there are still too many people with a keen sense of smell on the Internet. With the current size of Qunxing Company, it is normal for people to take notice of these small tricks.

A well-founded article analyzed in this way, with such a very gimmicky title and a violent argument at the beginning, is indeed naturally very attractive.

However, what this author did not expect was that in just a few days, the number of registered users of WeChat Assistant has exceeded 7 million.

And it is sprinting towards the 10 million mark at an alarming speed.

The author’s guess of three million users seems conservative in comparison.

But you can't blame him.

After all, in the field of social software, no APP has achieved such an astonishing increase when it first appeared on the scene.

Millions a month, this is not a popular popular game like Fruit Assassin and Secret Escape.

Relying only on the traffic support of three games to achieve this level in just one month is really a fantasy.

But for Xu Xing, this can only be regarded as a normal situation.

For special features like address book friends and nearby people, the first person to try it out will definitely benefit the most.

Even if latecomers imitate this, it will be difficult for them to surpass it in a short period of time.

However, although in Xu Xing's opinion, the author of this article did say it well, the comment area below is not very friendly.

For example, the comment with the highest number of likes currently writes——

[The ultimate outlet for WeChat Assistant is just a game promotion platform. QQ’s user moat is too deep, and all friend relationships are bound to it. Even if I don’t like Tencent, I still have to hold my nose and use it. This

This kind of usage inertia cannot be erased in just one sentence in the so-called mobile Internet era]

In the replies to this comment, many people came out to ridicule WeChat, thinking that the author of the article was too exaggerated.

Although there are many people who do not have a good impression of QQ, just like a child who has been raised to be rebellious but whose parents cannot bear to have anything happen to him, there are still many people who stand up to defend QQ's rebellious son.

In addition, in the current domestic social networking field, there is really no opponent that can beat QQ, and the comments made by these people are also well-founded.

For example, no matter how popular the three games are, they will only have a lifespan of one or two years at most. However, Tencent has a bunch of ultra-high-traffic games. The mobile games of Tianshu Company are indeed good, but they are all lightweight games.

If you can’t get on the stage, the drainage effect will only last for this month, and it will probably become sluggish in the future]

Also [people nearby, isn’t this thing just for flirting with girls? You said it was so high-minded, but in the end it was just a dirty thing, how can it be praised like this? 】

[Three million? No one around me uses this WeChat. It’s just a matter of playing Tianshu Company’s mini-game. Who would go out of their way to download such a thing? My friends basically only use QQ. The three hundred you mentioned

It’s just a random guess. I don’t think it’s even a question of whether there are 1 million users.】

[Laughing, even if I give you 10 million WeChat users, so what? In front of QQ’s hundreds of millions of users, you’re still a younger brother within a younger brother? 】

[Not to mention surpassing QQ, if WeChat can reach 100 million users, I will just run naked all over the city]

[The one above is exaggerating, I think 10 million is enough]

Looking at these comments and replies, Xu Xing was not angry at all. He just laughed and read for a while before closing the article.

"The impact has already occurred. Since it is unavoidable, don't hide anymore." Xu Xing slowly exhaled.

Now even if we try to contact the author to delete the manuscript, it will actually be of no use. We might as well take advantage of this wave of popularity to speed up WeChat.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Xing made up his mind and said to Peng Yuxuan: "Go and help me find Liao Qinyu."

"Okay Mr. Xu."

After a while, Liao Qinyu, who was working upstairs, hurried down and walked into Xu Xing's office.

"Mr. Xu." Liao Qinyu pushed up his glasses and walked to the desk, "I happen to have something to ask you."

"Huh?" Xu Xing, who was thinking about possible problems and how to deal with them, couldn't help but ask after hearing what Liao Qinyu said, "What's the matter? You tell me first."

"It's like this. Not long ago, a certain degree sent out a message saying that the certain degree hi2.0 version is about to be updated. That is, the mobile APP can not only exchange accounts with certain degree users, but also probably

Functions such as address book friends and other functions have also been added." Liao Qinyu said with a serious face.

"In addition, telecom operators and NetGame also sent out news to announce cooperation and will launch Xinbaotong in the middle of this month, which is also aimed at social software."

"There is also new news from Alibaba. Not only will Alipay introduce the friend function, but Taobao also seems to have plans to launch a new social software called Taojianghu."

"As for Tencent, there is no news yet, but it is estimated that countermeasures are being discussed internally."

When Liao Qinyu talked about this, his face was filled with worry.

Yesterday, he was still rejoicing about the rapid growth of WeChat, but today he was caught off guard by the news from all sides. Once these companies all rush in and compete for the mobile social market share, he is really worried about Qunxing Company.

Can these little arms and legs withstand it?

"Don't be anxious, take your time, we just have to do our job well, and the result can only be left to the market and the future." After hearing the news, Xu Xing was not surprised at all.

However, in his opinion, the above news looks scary, but the real threat to WeChat is always only Tencent.

What he is really worried about now is some of the methods that Tencent may use behind the scenes.

"You and Dai Zhuoshan should pay more attention to the direction of public opinion on the Internet during this period." Xu Xing reminded, "Especially on Dai Zhuoshan's side, the hot news has just been online recently, which is a good testing stage."

"In addition to testing the profiling of users, let him screen the recent negative news about WeChat. Once there is any hot negative news, notify me immediately."

"In addition, regarding the function of nearby people, we should build the word blocking and one-click reporting functions as soon as possible. There should also be clear prompts when turning on the function to let users pay attention to civilized wording. Once there is any suspicion of abuse and harassment, we will

Retain the right of injured users to pursue prosecution."

After hearing this, Liao Qinyu showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and then he looked stunned and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I understand."

After sending Liao Qinyu away, Xu Xing told Peng Yuxuan some things. After watching him go out, he let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair, with various thoughts swirling in his heart.

At this time, Xu Niannian knocked on the door and came in. Originally, he wanted to discuss game development with him, but when he saw that he had a tired look on his face and closed his eyes to rest, he naturally slowed down his steps.

"Are you okay?" Xu Niannian walked around the desk and came to Xu Xing's side, "Don't be so tired every day. I see you think about so many things every day. Be careful, your hair will fall out before you turn thirty."

"Your curse is too vicious." Xu Xing opened his eyes and rolled his eyes at her, "Besides, this is just some mental activity for me, so I think you should be more tired."

"But it's also a lot of pressure." Xu Niannian sighed, looking at his younger brother's mature look, walked behind him, stroked his forehead with his cool and slender fingers, and gently massaged his temples.

"Making money will never end. You should be happy and don't be too stressed. You are now 10,000 times better than all your peers in the world."

"What kind of pressure can I have?" Xu Xing leaned on the back of the chair, the back of his head resting comfortably against Xu Niannian's belly, closed his eyes and enjoyed it comfortably, "It's not so much pressure as it is a kind of fun, just like you

I think you are quite enjoying the dress-up game you are doing now."

"That's true." Xu Niannian laughed, pressed his head for a while, and then put his hands on his shoulders to massage, "The dress-up game is really what I want. I just bought a few sets of new clothes. I will go back today.

Are you going to show me jealousy again?"

"Okay, can you show your thighs this time?"

"roll."
