Chapter 287

For the wechat promoted by Huizhong, mysapce and Facebook both pay enough attention and vigilance. However, at present, the business focus of the two companies is still on computers, and the mobile terminal is only a supplement. Although the two companies also see that the mobile Internet is the future development trend of the Internet, their attitudes towards wechat are quite different.

MySpace has a very deep cooperative relationship with Huizhong, and MySpace does not have any important business on the mobile end. Therefore, although he is wary of Huizhong's wechat, he does not show any hostility. Even, because the wechat circle of friends is very competitive with Facebook's social model based on personal information flow, MySpace is also a little complacent, and Huizhong is finally on the front line with Facebook on the mobile terminal.

Facebook's hostility to wechat is directly reflected in its face. It should be said that wechat version 1.0 was just a chat software before, but now wechat 2.0 has joined the circle of friends, which directly competes with Facebook's social network.

In the past, the field of Internet social networking has taken two completely different development paths at home and abroad. Although QQ, an instant messaging software, first imitated foreign ICQ, QQ became popular at home, and ICQ was not as popular abroad as expected.

Later, social networks like QQ space, represented by mysapce and Facebook, became popular abroad, while social networks such as Renren, a domestic QQ space, became an auxiliary of QQ based social networking.

Therefore, in China, we usually chat with QQ. In foreign countries, users who are used to Myspace and Facebook also use these two software directly. If wechat is just a chat software, Facebook can not care. Anyway, chat is not the core of wechat, but wechat is creating a circle of friends. This kind of friend information flow, It directly competed with the core products of Facebook. Therefore, only one week after Huizhong comprehensively promoted wechat, Facebook directly blocked wechat!

Prohibit what prohibit, like previous Tencent in QQ, in friends circle, such as Taobao, jitter, and so on, Facebook blocked all the invitation links to WeChat, two-dimensional code, even when users mention WeChat friends, and what will be restricted information display, for example, I sent a message about WeChat tiktok, my friend may not see this information.

Although this practice and behavior of Facebook has been protested and resisted by many users, however, Facebook still adheres to this strategy unswervingly.

Even on the open platform, including Facebook, which is about to give up but still profitable, Huizhong's happy series games have been warned. If the happy series games promote wechat in the game, Facebook will remove these games!

Well, do you think Fang Zhe and Huizhong will be soft?

Yes, yes. Fang zhe believes that Facebook can really do it. The removal of the happy series of games from the shelves is nothing more than reducing part of Facebook's revenue, and Facebook's current revenue engine has become information flow advertising. He can not care about this, but let Huizhong promote wechat in the happy series of games operated on the Facebook platform, That will directly threaten the core of Facebook's products.

It can be said that Facebook's action this time is not decisive. After being fed up with Huizhong and Fang Zhe, Mark Zuckerberg finally raised his eyebrows, because Facebook can threaten Huizhong, but Huizhong can't refuse to accept the threat. If the happy series games on Facebook platform are taken off the shelf, Huizhong will not promote wechat here, You can't even make money running games.

Therefore, two weeks after the global promotion of wechat, the happy series games operated by Huizhong on Facebook stopped the promotion of wechat. However, at this time, the total number of registered users of wechat in the world has exceeded 50 million. Now, the number of users is enough to rank among the top 20 social software in the world and the top 5 in the field of mobile social software.

In fact, with the rise of the global mobile Internet, mobile social software is very scarce. In addition to Facebook and mobile QQ, which are directly connected to computer software, similar software can hardly be seen on the market.

However, since Fang zhe dared to let Huizhong fully disclose his identity with wechat and invested huge resources to promote wechat, how could he not be ready to fight these old social giants?

At present, there are only two competitors of Huizhong in this field at home and abroad. One is Tencent's mobile QQ, the other is Facebook, and others like line, snapchat, kaokaokaotalk and WhatsApp, which should have been the most competitive in the past. Now the first three have not been born, and the last one is Huizhong's younger brother.

The first three have wechat to seize their market in advance. It is uncertain whether they can be born. Even if they are born, they are nothing more than a start-up company, which is enough to crush them with Huizhong's huge resource strength.

The remaining WhatsApp has been under the control of Huizhong. Now it has developed silently as in previous lives. It only has the basic functions of chat software, without other complex functions, and requires a service fee of $1 a year. At present, it also has more than 4 million users around the world. If wechat can not successfully gain a foothold in the world, it can only rely on it to make a comeback!

Abroad, for Facebook, in addition to cooperating with MySpace, Facebook's largest competitor, Fang zhe remembered several crises encountered by Facebook in his previous life, all around one word, information security and personal privacy.

God, in order to stop this kind of crisis that may occur abroad in the future, since its birth, wechat has consulted many overseas legal experts, filled many secret doors and loopholes, and added many privacy agreements and terms.

Under the guidance of Huizhong, MySpace spread a lot of money to data analysis companies and network security companies in many countries from the United States to Europe, and the media matrix covered by the huge News Corporation behind him was silently prepared.

In China, for Tencent's mobile QQ, or Tencent behind it, in addition to vigorously promoting the steam China platform, seizing Tencent's game players and reducing their cash flow, Huizhong began to support YY and launch an attack on Tencent from the field of computer social software.

In addition to these, there is a third way to involve Tencent's energy, that is, the 3Q war. In previous lives, Tencent's entry into the field of computer security touched 360's adverse scale. The two companies had a hard time in 2010. No matter how many Internet users sympathized with 360 and resented Tencent and QQ at that time, Just how much energy Tencent executives have been involved in this vigorous public opinion and lawsuit. Fang zhe feels that it should be enough for them to put down a lot of energy on wechat.

At the end of March, Fang Zhefei went to Shenzhen and participated in a famous summit of Chinese IT leaders in previous generations!
