A short holiday put the company's business to a standstill.

When everyone returns to work from the holiday again, holiday syndrome will also accompany you, and many people will have to take a long time to recover.

Therefore, this is impossible to be fast.

After several days of internal discussion.

Penguin responded formally:

First, let me announce the official announcement to the user: stating that I have not spy on the user's privacy and clarify myself.

At the same time, counterattack 365: Taking the other party to court with unfair competition.

Finally, public opinion and public relations: unite the enemies of the enemy in the industry and jointly denounce them.

As long as you are in the world, who can have few enemies?

Even if it is not on the same boat, as long as there is a place for each other to borrow, this kind of verbal cooperation is often easy.

In a war of words in public opinion, the most feared thing is that the other party does not respond while talking.

As long as you respond, you can continue to the next round.

Often the more you respond, the more lively it becomes!

The more excited the people eating melons are.

Therefore, the 365 Guard did not disappoint the melon-eating crowd and responded immediately, and at the same time used the desktop software pop-up window.

Still a big window!

"We were retaliated by Penguin in order to protect user privacy!"

Anyway, it’s just a war of words, who can admit defeat?

The two sides responded and the battle of words immediately escalated to a higher level.

Many people who were obsessed with melons participated in the discussion and passionately chose to stand by.

At this time, new news came in the group chat of the WeChat board.

Liu Qing: "It's rumored that 365 is going to enter the real-time communication field. Have you heard of it..."

The source of this message is not true or false, but someone is circulating it.

Lin Yuan, who received the news, thought carefully and did not remember that 365 had made such software in his previous life.

Maybe even if it is done, it is not done.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have no impression of it.

Zhang Yayan: "Really? Is it a mobile phone?"

The positioning of WeChat chat is the smartphone and PC.

Mr. Lei: "It's probably fake! Let's not get involved, develop first, it's important to occupy the mobile terminal!"

Lin Yuan: "That seems to be fake. Do you know who is spreading it?"

Liu Qing: "I don't know, it doesn't feel like 365!"

Lin Yuan: "Why?"

Liu Qing: "Where is the one who releases the news before the project has been done? If you really want to do it, you have to do it like a micro-chat. First, secretly develop it, and then comprehensively promote it and launch it online, occupying the high ground in one wave. Only after obtaining beautiful data, will it be disclosed at this time that this is the best choice..."

Mr. Lei: "It feels like this news is more like a smoke bomb released by someone who is interested."

The purpose is unknown, and it is to escalate the war of words between the two sides.

Let the Penguin increase its efforts to attack the 365 Guards.

It seems that some people hope that the two companies will fight harder, the better!

But Lin Yuan felt that it won’t take long to chat and become a member of public opinion!

Because WeChat is really making instant messaging apps.

As long as you chat with the hottest news, it will be exposed sooner or later!

However, it’s better to become popular, the higher the valuation of the hotter it is!

The financing negotiations were more beneficial then.

Lin Yuan: "As long as the WeChat chat maintains this growth rate, it will probably not take long before someone will come to us!"

Mr. Lei: "Penguin is also discussing the launch of the micro-chat competitors!"

Although this statement is just a guess, no one wants to doubt it.

Now there are more than 10 million users in less than a month after WeChat is online. There is no need to think about this. Even if WeChat does not open a PC, Penguin will end.

There is no way, such user growth is too scary!

Lin Yuan: "They react so quickly?"

Mr. Lei: "It's not that they react quickly, but that there have been many people discussing and chatting during this period!"

Zhang Yayan: "Well, let's not care about these things for now, let's develop with your hair!"

Lin Yuan: "We have to speed up! December before, we will reach the life and death line of 20 million users! Even if we spend money, we must complete the basic user accumulation in the early stage!"

You must have a user base disk to discuss the follow-up.

Zhang Yayan: "Well, we are already speeding up! This month we are going to expand the server here. Now the company is just one person and becomes a dog, and it is busy..."

Lin Yuan: "Nostalgia.JPG. A few months ago, I asked you to recruit more people and make the server bigger, so you won't do it!"

Zhang Yayan: "It's too expensive to idle the server for a month. Am I considering you investors!"

Mr. Lei: "This is the case, I will help coordinate a team to support you in the short term!"

Liu Qing: "Like it.JPG!"

Lin Yuan: "Like it.JPG!"

...

Mid-October.

A foreign instant messaging mobile APP called kik is launched on both Ai Chuang and Android.

The functions of this APP are very similar to those of WeChat, but they are not as good as WeChat in terms of functions.

It’s not as good as micro-chat when using it!

Lin Yuan was a little confused. Is the other party plagiarizing him?

But after analysis with the company's team, this is extremely unlikely.

The reason is very simple. This R&D team is a Canadian company.

WeChat has only been launched in the domestic version and has not been released overseas.

Even if the development team has been to the mainland and learn about the WeChat chat app, it is normal to be the time node around the 11th.

From project establishment, to development, and then to online launch, this time is not impossible to complete, but this time is a bit too hasty!

No matter how you look at it, Kik is a relatively complete product.

If you really want to imitate, why not imitate more and imitate the complete functions of micro-chat?

Putting all kinds of reasons together and a brief and comprehensive analysis shows that there seems to be no necessary connection between the two.

It's more like each of them independently developed similar APPs, but the time is similar.

Kik has gathered millions of users in just half a month since it went online.

Lin Yuan, who received the new news, realized that Kik was likely to be the first cross-platform social APP based on address book in his previous life.

Similar software in China is its followers.

After figuring out this problem, Lin Yuan wanted to ask the team to inquire about the company.

Surprisingly, my team’s connections abroad are mainly major countries such as the United States.

Without the relevant resources and connections from Canada, it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive to inquire through your circle of friends.

Lin Yuan thought about it and had never heard of Kik's name in his previous life.

This means that the other party failed to enter the country.

This kind of instant messaging software is destined from birth. For the sake of communication security of its own country, major countries will never let these software enter their own country easily.

This will easily obtain the privacy of the country's communications and will not easily make concessions.

To come, you have to accept N rules, at least the server supervision...

Otherwise, you have to quit like Brother Gu!

Not only that at home, but also in the United States.

So, Lin Yuan no longer cared about this APP and just did his own domestic market.

At the same time, he made people stare at the updates of this APP and whether there are any competitors on the market!
