Chapter 50 The War Begins
TT was shocked and analyzed carefully. 6.5 million users in the mobile phone circle is not the worst!
Mixin users will definitely attract another wave because Damai has already released a mobile phone. By August, it is estimated that the number of users can reach 15 million.
No, no, no, this does not include their F code!
The so-called F code is the friend code. This code is required to reserve a Damai mobile phone.
This code is distributed according to the contribution value, and one of the weights is how many people you recommend to download and use Mixin!
This forms a social network effect, one-to-many.
The terrible thing about the social network effect is that when more than 40% of your friends use the same social application, the penetration rate of this social application will begin to grow explosively.
You will find that many people around you seem to be using it, and then gradually feel that you are "out of the circle" if you don't use it, so you start using it, and you become a point in the network to radiate more people.
And this F code can be given or resold, which makes more people who are not fans of Damai start to frantically pull people to use Mixin in order to get the F code.
TT Technology was simply too excited. It took them five months to make a new version, but a Cheng Yaojin came out!
What to do now?
Even if you want to sell the phone for 999, the problem is that there is no stock!
The rare May Day holiday, the vacation trip of TT Technology's senior executives was cancelled again.
After the instant messaging module of Tongcao Technology was open sourced, the meeting room of TT's president's office once again held an emergency meeting in a solemn atmosphere...
On May 4, TT Technology released a new version of Weihua as scheduled.
Two functions that were expected to be released in August were directly added.
People nearby, shake, drift bottle.
The three functions are all for the same thing, to get to know more people with Weihua!
Let more people use Weihua to find more "acquaintances".
The network effect of Mixin must be sniped!
Another big news, TT mobile phone will be released on August 8, priced at 1499!
At the same time, major media released a comparison of the specifications of TT mobile phone and Damai mobile phone, the baseband, screen, and storage are exactly the same.
TT is the same specification, come to compare prices!
With a lower price, people who want to order the Damai mobile phone will enter a wait-and-see state, pouring a bucket of cold water on the F code.
The Damai mobile phone is developed by itself, and the TT mobile phone is manufactured by HCC in Taiwan. HCC is a well-known smartphone manufacturer with guaranteed quality. As for the Damai mobile phone, there is no historical verification in this regard.
At noon on May 4, Giant Lion Technology, which always likes to join in the fun, also released news.
Giant Lion Technology will release the "smart security mobile phone" on September 1, priced at 1399!
The main "security card", and the news comes with various cases of smartphone insecurity.
What can remotely open your camera and record video and voice.
What can access your photo album and upload photos secretly. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎
What can monitor your password input and obtain your bank account information.
Although Jushi Technology is in the spirit of joining in the fun and taking a small bite of the market share, it can be regarded as helping TT to snipe Damai.
With more low-priced mobile phones to choose from, users will enter a wait-and-see state, and this wave of mobile phones is originally aimed at the market of young people under 25 years old, who are price sensitive.
Moreover, in terms of quantity, the number of core diehard fans in the Damai community is about three million.
These people are the core strength of Damai and the opinion leaders of the community.
However, in addition to these iron fans, there are a large number of passers-by fans of different levels.
It is necessary to use prices to differentiate these passers-by fans and minimize the influence of Damai's popularity!
At 8 o'clock in the evening on May 4th, another one came to join in the fun, Huanshi Video released news.
Huanshi Video will release a "video smartphone" on October 1st, priced at 1299
Unlike other 3.5-inch phones, Huanshi Video's phone is 4 inches!
As an Internet video platform, Huanshi's main mobile phone this time is to give away Huanshi membership with Huanshi phones.
Not only that, they also negotiated a data package with the operator. For only 15 yuan per month, they can watch Huanshi videos without restrictions.
The 4-inch screen is larger, and the visual experience is naturally better. Now that 3G charges are so high, being able to watch videos at will is really attractive.
Branded mobile phone manufacturers don’t understand. Damai is a newbie, but one is a chat developer, one is a security software developer, and one is a video developer. What kind of job are these outsiders trying to grab!
They feel humiliated!
Drive these outsiders out first!
We will fight the rest ourselves! A bunch of people who don’t follow the rules, go away!
So, mobile phone brand manufacturers united and released news one after another. On November 1, a 4-inch smartphone was released, priced at 1499!
But this phone is in cooperation with the operator. Buy a phone and get a 3G number, launch a monthly data package of 99 yuan, and a half-year package is free! All in all, a smartphone costs less than 1,000 yuan!
After the joint attack of many parties, Damai’s success was indeed affected.
A battle between mid- and low-end smartphones has begun.
TT seems to have won back a game on the surface, but if you calculate carefully, the phone priced at 1499 has also been crushed!
After all these, it seems that nothing has been gained?
Cao Shen evaluated that if these mobile phone sellers can deliver on schedule, the penetration rate of smartphones this year will be much higher than that of the original world.
In 2011, the original world shipped only 70 million smartphones in China, with 128 million 3G users, and the penetration rate was only 13%.
Mixin and Weihua did not use the voice module of Tongcao Technology, but developed it themselves and worked hard to optimize it.
Although the sound quality is still not as good as that of Tongcao Technology, it sounds different but within an acceptable range.
Cao Shen sensitively realized that Damai's heavy attack and the war of low-priced smartphones will change the pattern of the instant messaging market.
Whether it is TT or Damai, as long as they form a network effect in instant messaging, a large number of users will lean towards it.
The hosting application of his open source instant messaging module may be affected.
So, he decided not to do anything stupid and make money first.
Although I got 200 million from Xiao Gang, the 200 million was for investment, not for my own development, and I couldn't embezzle it.
In addition, even if the investment has a return, it is only a floating profit on the books. As long as the shares in hand are not sold, the money is just a number on the report.
Early projects generally have to wait until they are listed or acquired before the money can be withdrawn. It will take a long time!
So, I have to make money myself.
"System, I want to exchange for a game editor."
[OK! ]
The next second, a game editor appeared on Cao Shen's computer.
Cao Shen grabbed his hair and roared:
"That's it! That's it!
180 days, you give me this thing!
I have never seen such a shameless system like yours!!!"
Looking at this game editor, Cao Shen was speechless. Is it too late for me to commit suicide now? I don't want to do it anymore!

The protagonist of the next door super-rich system eats and drinks well and has a harem, but here the protagonist not only has a short life, but the system is also stingy.
Ask for a recommendation vote.
Cao Shen is in hardcore mode. Even if the system is bad, he is still the strongest protagonist!
