Top of the big era

With a detached vision, Zhou Buqi can quickly make a judgment. The open source code of the social open platform will have a great impact on Friends.com.

It must be highly valued!

Zhou Buqi didn't understand the technical details, so he asked Zhang Yiming and Jiang Chengan.

The answer is not very friendly.

Different open platforms, the same product requires different codes to connect. For example, Apple mobile phones and Huawei mobile phones have the same Douyin app, but the code behind this app is different.

However, the Douyin app for Huawei mobile phones, Xiaomi mobile phones, Samsung mobile phones, and OPPO mobile phones has the same code, because this set of code is for the open source Android system.

If Google is a social networking site, it will certainly not be an opponent of Facebook.

But this does not prevent Google from being a shit-stirring stick in this industry, completing the sniping on Facebook through the developer field.

To put it simply, both Google's open platform and Facebook's open platform require developers from all over the world to write corresponding programs to anchor on their platforms.

If Google's social open platform is open source, then hundreds of thousands of websites in the world will use this open source code to create their own Google open platform.

Developers are very happy, as long as they develop a small program for Google's open platform, they can directly target hundreds of websites.

Do multiple things in one fell swoop, save time and effort!

Instead of developing a different program for each website, it would be a waste of cost, manpower and material resources.

In this case, developers will of course prefer Google's open platform.

This will help Google's social networking site lead Facebook in the developer market.

Google has more applications, and more playability. After time accumulation, it can accumulate users and form an overtake of Facebook.

This is a set of tactics from high to low, and it is also Google's usual trick. The open source Android system to counter Apple's IOS system relies on this set of ideas.

If Facebook is not open source, then Google's open platform can be compared to the Android system, and Facebook's open platform can be compared to the IOS system.

But the problem is that Apple has the confidence to play closed, Jobs is a genius, and the iPhone is an epoch-making product.

Will Facebook work?

Does Zuckerberg have this confidence?

Certainly not.

If you want to compete with Google's social open platform and compete with Google for global developers, the only option is to make Facebook's open platform also open source.

If the world's social networking sites have two options: Google's social open platform and Facebook's open platform, then nine out of ten will choose Facebook.

Because Facebook is the big brother in the social field.

As long as developers have developed corresponding applications for Facebook, other social networking sites can also easily obtain the source of these applications.

"Facebook's open platform will definitely be open source!"

This matter is not within the scope of Zhou Buqi's foresight, but he has been able to make the most accurate judgment relying on the existing knowledge structure and the analysis of the future development trend of Facebook and Google.

Zhang Yiming said in a deep voice: "If it is really open source, it will be bad news for us!"

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Yes, there is no monopoly in competition. If it is not open source, at least within three years, the open platform of Friends.com will be the only one in China. Once open source, Sina Blog, Qzone, Yahoo China, and even Taobao and 5Q will all have their own open platforms.”

This is the most fucked up.

In order to promote the open platform, Friends.com must take the initiative to find some large companies to cooperate and let them develop applications for the open platform of Friends.com. At the same time, incentive policies are introduced to allow small and medium-sized enterprises to join in and develop applications.

But the problem is that the open platform of Friends.com is one with Facebook.

Once Facebook is open-sourced, Internet companies across the country will be able to create their own open platforms within a month. Then those applications made for the open platform of Friends.com can be easily connected with other websites with a little modification.

The good situation was created by Friends.com, and other companies enjoyed the success and shared the fruits of victory.

Friends.com planted trees to let competitors enjoy the shade.

Why?

Zhou Buqi felt that he was not so impartial.

Jiang Chengan coughed lightly: "Currently, Google's social open platform is still in the internal testing stage and has not yet launched. Even if the internal testing is over, there is no rush to launch it. It depends on the development of Google's social networking sites. I think... the soonest It won’t be online until the end of the year.”

Zhou Buqi didn't feel relaxed at all, "There's not much time left!"

Jiang Chengan said: "Google has not determined the open source plan internally, and it depends on the competition between social networking sites and Facebook. If it really fails, it will choose an open source plan."

"Well, that's a very important point."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Yes, this year is 2007, a big year when the Internet explodes! Internet companies around the world are experiencing skyrocketing stock prices, and it is rare for them to double or triple.

Under such a majestic wave, Google will certainly not willingly admit defeat and will fight Facebook.

In 2008, the situation changed suddenly.

The subprime mortgage crisis broke out.

The stock market plummeted, and the stock prices of Internet companies also slashed in half. At that time, Google's confidence was insufficient, and it could not fight Facebook to the end.

At that time, Google will break the jar and completely open source. If you stop playing, you can't make your opponent feel better.

In order to meet the challenge, Facebook can only choose to open source.

In other words, there is at most one year left for Friends.com to open the platform! A year later, domestic open platforms of this type will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

We must make good use of this information gap and time period to bring out the exclusive advantages of Friends.com.

How should I do it?

Jiang Chengan didn't seem worried at all, and said with a smile: "Even if other websites have this open source solution, it doesn't matter, because they don't have friends.com users. For example, Qzone, the main users are some young people who post photos and write diaries." It’s okay, but you may not know how to play open platforms. The quality of users of Youyou.com are basically adults, mainly white-collar workers, and this is the main user group of open platforms.”

After a pause, he continued: "The user base of Sina Blog is similar to Friends.com, but their scale is small. Another very important point is that Sina Blog has no friend relationship, which is the most fatal. Many applications need to call friends. Relationships are the only way to do it. And with friendship, friends can recommend each other and do better promotion.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, keeping his expression on.

Deeply disapproving in my heart.

I feel that this guy who came back from Silicon Valley is just like that. He may have strong technical ability, but his vision may not be very high, so it is not worth cultivating. And he's thirty years old this year...a bit old.

Zhou Buqi is not worried about competition.

In terms of competition, Friends.com has no rivals in this field.

Qzone has more than 300 million users, so what? The earning power and market position cannot be compared with Friends.com. Qzone is just a recreational space for young people, and they can only rely on the activation of Yellow Diamond to earn income.

It was Zhang Yiming who understood Zhou Buqi better, and said with a smile: "Our boss is concerned about how to maximize the benefits of the open platform. If we can't achieve monopoly, we must actively donate instead of passive competition."

Zhou Buqi slapped his hands, "Well! Well said! In terms of the strategic positioning of the open platform, we must take the initiative. When the project is open-sourced, we will passively respond. We will not have the exclusive influence of the current market monopoly."

The most typical example is mobile.

Monternet under its banner has an absolute monopoly position and is the grandfather of all Internet companies. Even a big company like Penguin has to be courted like a third grandson.

But so what?

China Mobile only wanted to use its monopoly position to make money. Seeing that QQ made more money, it came up with the exact same Fetion to grab food. There is a tendency that what is popular with oneself and what is spicy is drunk, and everyone else will get out of it.

This is too short-sighted.

Monternet's monopoly is based on the current domestic backward communication technology. When 3G is launched, Monternet will be half dead; when 4G is launched, Monternet will be completely dead.

At that time, China Mobile will no longer be able to squeeze a penny from Internet companies, and its market position will be reversed. Internet giants will become the protagonists of the market, and China Mobile will only be able to act as a waiter and earn some traffic fees.

This is the bitter fruit of lack of long-term vision.

You must know that Monternet was launched as early as 2000, and it is the core weapon to pull domestic Internet companies out of the bubble crisis. The construction of Monternet has amazed the whole world. 80% of the Internet companies in Silicon Valley have died, but China has been revived with the help of Monternet.

If China Mobile can make better use of its monopoly position and life-saving role, instead of grabbing food with Internet companies, it will support them to share the fruits, and acquire shares in those Internet companies with a small amount of funds to form strategic cooperation... ... Then China Mobile will be the largest content provider in China.

Take the initiative to give alms, people will be grateful. Passive competition, people will fight with you.

Mobile is obviously too focused on immediate interests.

In the Fetion project, Zhou Buqi has had some dealings with China Mobile, and he will definitely learn a lesson and not follow the old path of China Mobile.

The market position of the open platform of Friends.com is definitely far inferior to that of Monternet.

But monopoly positions are similar.

It’s not good to take shares, but to take money from the head office, right?

When Google and Facebook haven't open sourced, and haven't released the news that they want to open source, it's better to act first! Selling the source code of the friend network open platform nationwide!

hum!

The active defense technology of micro-point antivirus has generated 65 million yuan for Ziweixing.

What price can the open platform sell for?

"Tomorrow at eight o'clock, the decision-making committee will meet!" Zhou Buqi was silent for a long time before making a decision, "Jiang Cheng'an, you are the person in charge of the open platform, and you should attend tomorrow's meeting as a non-voting delegate. Let's discuss the benefits of the open platform." If there is a monopoly advantage, it cannot be wasted.”
