Top of the big era

With the rectification in the past few years, the SP market has been severely impacted, China Mobile's Monternet business has been greatly challenged, and its revenue has dropped sharply.

However, Penguin is still the number one beneficiary in this market.

The monthly SP income exceeds 70 million yuan.

At the peak of the previous two years, two to three billion yuan could be earned in a month.

There are probably four reasons for the decrease in income.

First, the collective sluggishness of the SP market, and the general environment has changed;

Second, the mobile QQ monthly subscription fee has been reduced, and the monthly subscription fee has been reduced from 10 yuan to 5 yuan.

Third, there are more and more smart phones, and the mode of sending text messages has entered the end of the era.

Four, Fetion.

The current Fetion, whose full name is "Fetion QQ", can directly import users from QQ, which has caused a huge impact on the SMS service of mobile QQ.

The number of Fetion QQ users has exceeded 20 million, and it has grown very rapidly, grabbing a lot of profits from QQ's SP business.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way!

Helo became popular in no time!

QQ panics about sudden spoilers, and Fetion is similar. People from China Mobile still want to rely on Fetion's business to save Monternet's performance.

Now Helo has come out, and its functions are similar to those of Fetion... In terms of product performance and product ecology, Helo is far ahead of Fetion.

Best of all, Helo is free and even has a gold coin wallet system to make money.

Fetion is backed by China Mobile. Although sending text messages is free, it looks ugly. There are a bunch of value-added services that need to be activated by users. Adding a friend costs 5 yuan to activate value-added services.

Therefore, people who move come to the door.

Said to conduct a wave of research on Helo's text messaging business. Seven or eight people came, led by Vice President Yao of Montnets. A group of people with big bellies asked Ziweixing to sort out Helo's business model.

He Yang and Cheng Zhenping came forward to deal with it, and Zhou Buqi thought about it for a while, and also participated.

Vice President Yao is chubby, sitting on the sofa like a Maitreya Buddha, "According to user feedback, they have all been harassed by text messages from Helo, this is not acceptable!"

Cheng Zhenping said with a smile: "There is such a problem, and it has been rectified. Now Helo is no longer free to send text messages, but costs 50 gold coins for each text message sent. Due to the limitation of the number of gold coins, users can It is impossible to use Helo on a large scale to harass others."

Vice President Yao frowned, dissatisfied, "There is no large-scale harassment, and small-scale harassment is not acceptable! We are building a harmonious society, and the country is very strong in cracking down on spam text messages."

Cheng Zhenping almost retched when he heard this.

High-sounding!

Even if some users send some harassing text messages to strangers through Helo, so what? As long as the SMS service exists, this kind of thing is inevitable. Who hasn't sent a few SMS?

What mobile really needs to solve should be the problem of advertising text messages and fraudulent text messages. This is not just harassing text messages, but also involves crimes.

However, due to interests, China Mobile has never restricted this kind of SMS service. As long as money is paid, SMS can be sent casually without censorship.

Especially in recent years, third-party text messaging software has formed a black industry. In addition to receiving a share of SMS replies, there is also advertising revenue.

That is, through the SP business, the personal information of mobile phone users is grasped, and then sold to them. It would be better if it was sold to a regular company, the user would be harassed at most and would receive advertising text messages non-stop. If it is sold to a criminal gang and some people carry out some intimidation or fraudulent activities through mobile phone information, it will be serious.

This kind of thing happened to Jiang Bingjie a few days ago.

She received a threatening text message, which probably means that I know you are a star and I already know about your scandal. Quickly remit 200,000 to the designated account, or I will expose you!

The inexperienced Jiang Bingjie had never seen this kind of thing before. She thought it was someone who knew about her relationship with Zhou's father. She was terribly frightened, and she was afraid that Lin Daiyu's role would disappear.

Then she hurriedly went to the company to find Xu Baihui.

As a result, he was severely criticized by Mr. Xu.

Now, it's kind of deliberately embarrassing for people on the move to grapple with a little problem with the Helo instead of dealing with the trickier texting problems.

He Yang's face was not very optimistic, "Mr. Yao, in your opinion, how should Helo rectify?"

Vice President Yao said with a smile: "You can refer to Fetion's model. After Fetion launched the client, users can send text messages for free through the client. However, in order to prevent strangers from being harassed, Fetion can only send text messages to Fetion friends. This effectively limits the behavior of harassing strangers."

Cheng Zhenping said: "Mr. Yao, this is unreasonable. Fetion can have such a restriction, because Fetion is connected to QQ, and QQ friends are Fetion friends. Helo lacks the ecological relationship of friends. Without friends, how do you send text messages? Is the order wrong? You can add Helo friends only after you send a text message to talk."

Vice President Yao said with a smile: "No, no, Mr. Cheng's words are biased. Helo has a friend network and a school network behind it, as well as a strong network of schoolmates and social friends. I heard that Helo's The number of users has exceeded 40 million? The sudden increase in just a few days is due to the conversion of users from Friends.com and Xiaonei.com.”

It seems that Vice President Yao is not an idiot, he has investigated before coming here.

There are classmate records on the Xiaonei website, and there are circles of friends on the Friends website, both of which have relatively strong social relationships.

Even for the convenience of new Helo users to communicate with friends faster and more conveniently, when Helo is connected to Youyou.com, the system will automatically fill in the user's friend relationship on Youyou.com.

Cheng Zhenping said flatly: "Mr. Yao, don't be joking. How many users does Youyou.com have? How many users does QQ have? Can it be compared? If you can help us import QQ friendships to Helo, I assure you, Helo can also leave In Fetion mode, you can only send text messages to friends."

Vice President Yao's expression froze, a little embarrassed, "QQ friendship, you have to talk to them, I can't control it."

Cheng Zhenping said: "QQ covers netizens all over the country, and the friendship is very strong. But Helo can't do it. If you can't send text messages to strangers, Helo can't scale up. You can only attract new users through SMS services."

Vice President Yao was very helpless, and said bitterly: "Mr. Cheng... and Mr. Zhou, Mr. He, please don't embarrass me. I am also following the instructions of the leader. Helo must rectify."

Cheng Zhenping was relatively indifferent, and said calmly: "It is right to avoid SMS harassment, and it should be restricted. The method adopted by Fetion is to send text messages to friends, which can be effectively controlled. Helo also has its own measures. Sending a text message with 50 gold coins also It can be effectively controlled. It is impossible to completely eliminate harassing text messages, and Fetion’s model can’t do it either. We believe that the effect of Helo’s model will not be worse than Fetion’s.”

It is absolutely impossible to back down.

Once backed down, Helo's growth will be greatly curbed.

Although Vice President Yao didn't say it clearly, behind this incident must be the joint operation of QQ and Fetion to resist the rise of Helo.

After all, the full name of Fetion is Fetion QQ. The two companies are in a cooperative relationship and have been in close contact for many years.

The reason why the SMS service of UC, POPO, SMS Kangaroo, MSN and other products has not been implemented is also subject to similar restrictions, and can only send SMS to friends.

However, these chat software have very few customers and few friendships.

No friends, who to text?

How to get new friends without texting?

This is a paradox.

Prior to this, the Helo decision-making team had already made a collective resolution, no matter what, we must stand up! Resist the pressure to move and stick with Helo's existing model.

The existence of the gold coin wallet system has been able to effectively restrict Helo from sending harassing text messages wantonly, even better than Fetion.

Fetion can send text messages to friends, but the vast majority of QQ friends are strangers who are not known in reality. Sending text messages without restriction can easily cause text message bombing to strangers.

Helo will not, the gold coins are not enough!

If the other party does not reply to the text message, the gold coins are not enough to support the continuous sending of text messages.

People who are moving now come to the door, in fact, they are looking for faults.

He Yang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yao, I'll just say it straight. We firmly believe that there is nothing wrong with Helo's model. Helo will not change, there is no need to change, and it cannot be changed."

Vice President Yao was about to cry, "Mr. He, don't embarrass me. I'm also a manager. This is arranged by the leader..."

He Yang was unmoved, "Last month, the secretary of the big leader called me specifically, thinking that our gold coin wallet system is very creative. Giving users rebates, which is taken from the people and used by the people, is in line with our society. Value. I hope Ziwei Star will continue on the road of Internet innovation. Why? The mobile side has doubts about our gold coin wallet business model?"

Vice President Yao broke out in a cold sweat and coughed lightly, "This...I have to go back and report to the leader in detail."

He Yang said coldly: "The gold coin wallet system has created huge network traffic and created huge technical problems. In order to solve this problem, we have adopted the self-developed Feitian distributed relational database. This is my country's zero in this field. The breakthrough is also to break the technical blockade of developed countries in Europe and the United States against my country in this field."

Vice President Yao collapsed.

Before he came, he had done all the research. He said that it was Ziweixing's boss Zhou who liked to go online very much. He always talked about the feelings of family and country and the righteousness of the nation.

That's great!

This Boss He is not a good person either!

"Uh...Mr. He, don't worry, I will report your attitude to the leader in detail when I go back. For the development of Ziwei Star, China Mobile is still very supportive..."

Vice President Yao's tone changed a little, not as tough as it was at the beginning.

Zhou Buqi saw that he was almost ready, so he opened his mouth and gave sweet dates, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yao, business must be mutually beneficial. The monthly income of Ziweixing's SP business is about 30 million. Since It's 50-50, so it should be the same amount for mobile, right?"

"Of course! Of course! Our accounts have always been fair. We will keep as much as we should, and we will not deduct a single cent." Vice President Yao quickly expressed his opinion.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I don't mean to doubt, I mean... I believe that Ziwei Star can create greater benefits for China Mobile and Monternet, which is far better than Fetion."

"Are you relying on Helo?"

Vice President Yao didn't quite believe it.
