Top of the big era

The cooperation between Weidian and Soso has a hidden clause, that is, during the cooperation period, Qzone can no longer imitate the social games of Friends.com, especially the farming games.

This is just an agreement without legal force.

However, the competition between Penguin and Ziweixing is at a relatively benign stage. In addition to competition, there is also a certain degree of cooperation.

In addition to the law, there are human feelings.

If there is no agreement, people can imitate how they want, as long as they don't break the law, they can do whatever they want. But if the agreement is made, if you break the promise, you will be wronged on the moral level, and the relationship will deteriorate.

Therefore, in the short term, there should be no tendency for the other party to launch the same game.

This gives friends the opportunity to develop.

"Happy Farm" is on fire!

The number of players has increased rapidly, exceeding 20 million!

Affected by this, the registered users of Friends.com reached 64 million, and the number of daily active users reached 22 million.

You know, in May, the daily active users of Youyou.com were only about 10 million.

Zhou Buqi got the detailed financial report of Youyou.com in June.

Very eye-catching!

Information flow advertising revenue, 143 million yuan;

Open platform income, 42.7 million yuan;

Taobao preferred commission, 29.58 million yuan;

In addition, there are also income from enterprise certification numbers, cooperative promotion, and value-added services, which also exceeded 10 million yuan.

Last month, Friends.com's revenue was 225 million yuan!

Net profit reached 120 million yuan!

Almost double that of May.

congratulations!

Friends.com has consolidated Ziwei Star's position as the largest business, and has widened the gap with other departments.

The biggest contributor to achieving such an eye-catching report card is "Happy Farm".

That's what Internet business does.

The first step is to grab traffic!

High traffic means money.

The second step is to convert the traffic into a longer usage time.

More time, more money.

"Happy Farm" did both.

Zhang Yiming came to report the incident, and said with a smile: "This game is very interesting. We found that many players surf the Internet in the middle of the night and go to a friend's farm to steal a round. So many people want to prevent being stolen in the middle of the night. , I have to get up and put away my own fruit."

Zhou Buqi was not very interested in this, so he waved his hand, "How many daily active players are there?"

"About 7.5 million."

"not much."

"Well, it's still growing. There are hundreds of thousands of new players joining every day. At this rate, it is very likely that by September, the number of registered players will exceed 40 million, and the number of active players will exceed 20 million."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "It's too small! It's so small!"

Zhang Yiming was slightly taken aback, "Huh? Is this still young?"

With 20 million active players, at least 200 million traffic can be brought to Friends.com every day. Unlike competitive online games, social games have a waiting process.

That is to say, wait for your own fruit to ripen, and wait for other people's fruit to ripen.

During this waiting period, players can use more services of Youyou.com, read friends' news, try to experience more ways to play on the open platform, and so on.

This process will generate a lot of traffic and generate a lot of income for the website.

You know, in May, the daily traffic of Friends.com was only about 160 million.

Zhou Buqi said: "Isn't the daily traffic of Qzone 1 billion? Such a high traffic is supported by young people. Lightweight and simple games like "Happy Farm" are not very attractive to young people. Big. The main user group is adults, and this is a way of leisure. I think this game may become even more popular. Maybe relying on "Happy Farm", after a year, the traffic of Youyou.com will be comparable to that of Qzone! "

Zhang Yiming took a deep breath, "1 billion traffic?"

"I don't think it's a problem." Zhou Buqi is very confident about this. "You said that the number of active players is 20 million. This indicator may be mainly for white-collar workers, civil servants and college students. We must focus on the sinking market. I think 50 million Active players are not an issue."

Zhang Yiming nodded, "If you want to sink, you have to rely on social software. By the way, when it comes to social software, Guo Pengfei seems to be very concerned about it!"

"Um?"

"He always goes by these days and tells me about social software. He has a lot of ideas."

Zhou Buqi felt that there was something in his words, "How do you say?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Guo Pengfei is not joking. He said that you are the chief product manager of Ziwei Star, and he is the second product manager. I think it makes sense. He has many innovative ideas in product design. Social software and Toutiao Combined with the gold coin wallet system, they are all very good ideas.”

"Um."

"Why don't you just promise him and let him be a product manager?"

"You don't do it?"

Having said that, Zhou Buqi's heart skipped a beat.

I think this suggestion is solid!

The prospect of Zhang Xiaolong's poaching is very uncertain, he is as stubborn as a piece of wood, showing no sign of loosening. It seems impossible to dig him over.

If poaching fails, there must be alternatives.

Who will be in charge of this chat software?

Zhang Yiming?

Zhou Buqi didn't have much confidence in him. In his previous life, he had tried several chat software, but they all failed. Moreover, his position is very important, and he does not want to be hit by his failure.

Airborne is not necessary.

The social software outside is worse than the other, not to mention competing with QQ, they can't even touch the edges.

Then it can only be promoted internally.

Guo Pengfei is indeed a good candidate.

Zhang Yiming said: "Since we are going to do it, we have to prepare comprehensively. At least three project teams can be formed. One for Friends.com, one for Xiaonei, and one for the software business group. Wait for the product to be completed. It came out, internal audit, and put out the best one to the market. Big R\u0026D, small skin, big middle stage, small front desk, the three project teams don’t need to be too big, just do the detailed design of the product. The function realization is all It will be dominated by a unified middle and Taiwan department."

Zhou Buqi was thoughtful, "Hmm! This idea is fine!"

The software business group has developed a lot of successful software, such as Micropoint input method, Micropoint browser, Micropoint security guard, etc., accumulated a lot of experience in software development, and has unique insights in product design.

Xiaonei also has an advantage here. It has done a lot of interactive functions and has a deep understanding of social aspects. In particular, Guo Pengfei's idea of ​​merging Toutiao and social software and adopting the same gold coin system is amazing.

Friends.com will definitely not be reconciled. This is a social business group. Logically speaking, social software should belong to this department from its genes.

In this case, maybe it is possible to set up three project teams!

Internal competition, survival of the fittest!

Zhang Yiming said: "I have already organized a team to do the functional design of the product. You might as well use this team as the middle office, and set up three front-end project teams in the three business groups to encourage internal competition and come up with the best solutions." The most stunning design."

Zhou Buqi pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Then it's decided! Act now! By the way, I have some ideas for product design. I will draw a simple pattern later. If it feels good, I will adopt it. If it is not good, I will adopt it." Not adopted. Specific design opinions are subject to the respective project teams.”

With the same product structure as QQ, the probability of survival is very small.

There must be some changes in the layout of the interface and the way of operation, to make it simpler, more convenient, and have revolutionary changes, in order to highlight the product features of Ziweixing.

QQ is still slightly complicated.

Zhou Buqi's idea is to imitate the structure of the computer version of WeChat, Feishu and DingTalk.

If you want to chat on QQ, you have to click on the profile picture twice to jump out of the chat dialog box. WeChat and Feishu are designed with avatars on the left and dialog boxes on the right. Click on the profile picture to display a dialog box on the right. The operation is simple, there is no jumping out of the program, and the response speed is faster.

...

The next day, He Yang replied in Pengcheng.

Some surprised.

Zhang Xiaolong didn't even see him!

He Yang's tone was very peaceful, and he said with a smile on the phone that he would visit the thatched cottage three times and always see him.

Zhou Buqi was very dissatisfied, "Forget it, it's gone!"

"ah?"

He Yang was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "Whether he likes to come or not. You are the COO, and I don't even see you. This is to completely distance myself from Ziweixing. It may be that Pony put pressure on him. Since he made If you have a choice, there is no need to put a hot face on a cold ass. You go to the branch to have a look, and come back if you have nothing to do."

He Yang couldn't believe it, "Really stop digging?"

Zhou Buqi said: "No digging! The plan has changed! Recently, we have been poaching people, Wang Jian, Shen Xiangyang, and Zhou Feng. With so many executives airborne at once, the employees have a lot of opinions. The person in charge of the social software, we Internal promotion gives everyone hope."

"real?"

"real!"

This time, Zhou Buqi made up his mind.

Of course Zhang Xiaolong is very good, but what makes him great is not his technology, but his understanding of products.

Zhou Buqi feels that he also has an understanding of the product, and the advantage of foresight can be used for many years. If you train Guo Pengfei and Ji Zian well, maybe you can really cultivate a product master!

There is no need to always bend your elbows and give up good projects to outsiders. Your own people are eagerly looking forward to it, but they don't get the opportunity to show their talents. This is not conducive to corporate cohesion.

There must be a balance between airborne and internal promotion. Only when everyone has the space and possibility to rise can the enthusiasm of this organization be mobilized.

After the phone call ended, Zhou Buqi was still a little bit aggrieved.

Are you worse than brother pony?

snort!

Time will prove that Zhang Xiaolong made a wrong decision! Not joining Ziwei Xing would be the most regrettable thing in his life!

At this time, Ning Yaxian was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, a wrap-around skirt, black stockings, and black high-heeled sandals, with her graceful waist swaying, and walked over with a smile, "Boss, here are the materials you want."

"what material?"

"A love story written by Wang Xiaochuan."

"oh?"

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it.

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and said, "Boss, your sister Bao hasn't won yet? Want to learn?"

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Oh, don't mention it, her mother is as shrewd as you. Sister Bao has already passed that test, the key is that her mother is not very easy to deal with. She has been here for several days, a little No response."

Ning Yaxian covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It's just a woman, you still can't handle it?"

"Don't pour me the ecstasy soup!" Zhou Buqi snorted, "Come on, come out with me."

"No plan, where are you going?"

"Jieyu Media!"
