Chapter 424: Anticipating the Crisis

Hearing Qiu Wenhua's words, Chen Ping chuckled and shook his head, and after a moment of indifference, he said softly, "Mr. Qiu, I appreciate your confidence.

However, sometimes, overconfidence is not a good thing. Before that, during the development process of the Flash Chat software, I asked you to develop the background monitoring program inside the Flash Chat software.

According to my previous settings, this monitoring program can monitor the entire Flash Chat software, chat activity, etc. in real time. Are the statistics out now? "

Qiu Wenhua nodded lightly, and then said in a deep voice, "It's already out. However, this is based on the data from an hour ago. Compared with the current data, there should be a huge gap."

Chen Ping also smiled slightly, and then took a document handed over by Qiu Wenhua. After simply flipping through it for a while, Chen Ping's movements also stopped, and his finger lightly clicked on one of the pages of this document. Then, he gave it to Qiu Wenhua in front of him.

With a chuckle, he asked, "Have you noticed these data?"

Qiu Wenhua was stunned for a moment. After looking at the data carefully, he looked up at Chen Ping in front of him with a puzzled face, and asked softly, "Mr. Chen, is there any problem with these data?"

Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then his face gradually became serious, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qiu, you are a very good developer.

However, you are not very good at these business things, so I don't blame you for not noticing the anomaly in these data. "

Then, Chen Ping was Shen Sheng and began to explain. "This data shows that before this update, Flash Chat had a user base of three million.

And among these 3 million users, only a part is the online game player users of Coslight Technology Company.

But in just a few hours, the data we re-stated shows that the number of users of the Flash Chat software has reached as many as 6 million an hour ago.

That is to say, within these few hours, the number of users of the Flash Chat software increased by 3 million. As for the 3 million users who have grown, Mr. Qiu must be able to know who the vast majority of them are? "

Qiu Wenhua nodded lightly, and then said in a deep voice, "The vast majority of the newly added 3 million users should be players of several online games owned by Coslight Technology."

Chen Ping smiled and nodded.

Then Shen Sheng said: "That's right, that's it. By comparing the two statistics data before and after, you can find that the former data shows that before this update, 3 million users of Flash Chat software, Chat activity is only 12%.

That is to say, only about 1/10 of the active users who use the Flash Chat software to chat every day. That is to say, the 3 million Flash Chat software users, the real active users, are only less than 400,000.

However, after the data growth, the number of users of Flash Chat chat software has reached as many as 6 million, and the user activity level is as high as 65%. what does that mean? Has Mr. Qiu thought about it carefully? "

Hearing Chen Ping's question, Qiu Wenhua was completely lost in thought. He knew that Chen Ping's inquiry was by no means aimless, and some important factors must have been ignored by him.

After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Qiu Wenhua's eyes flashed slightly, and then his face changed a little.

However, there was still some uncertainty, and Shen Sheng asked, "Mr. Chen means that as many as 65% of the active users are actually new users. In other words, the online game player users of Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. ."

Chen Ping chuckled and nodded, confirming Qiu Wenhua's inference. Then Shen Sheng said: "That's true. And this also means that the real main active users of the Flash Chat software are actually gamers of several online games.

And those who are not gamer users of Coslight Technology are actually not very active. "

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Qiu Wenhua also nodded heavily. He was already somewhat aware of what Chen Ping meant, but at the moment Qiu Wenhua had no way to really determine what Chen Ping meant when he talked about it.

He could only ask softly, "Mr. Chen, will this have any negative impact on the future development of our Flash Chat software?"

Chen Ping nodded with a chuckle, and then said in a deep voice, "Of course it has an impact. Such data means that compared with Tencent's Tencent QQ, our Flash Chat software is more user-friendly than Tencent's QQ. , there is still a huge gap.

Most of the users who really care about our chat software are users of several online game players from Coslight Technology.

And among the real civilian user groups, our Flash Chat software does not actually have much influence.

That is to say, even if all the online game player users of Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. start to use the Flash Chat software, the number of users of our chat software will not exceed 50 million at the peak.

This also needs to calculate the role of these online game players, who will promote our Flash Chat software from the side. "

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Qiu Wenhua's face gradually became heavy, and then he nodded lightly. Qiu Wenhua did not refute Chen Ping's judgment.

Because he is very clear, Chen Ping's judgment is very precise. This is a judgment based on data, not aimless.

Because the data shows that the most important user group of the current Flash Chat software is the users of online games.

Even the users of these online games, after using the Flash Chat software, like this new chat software, and start promoting it to their relatives and friends.

But in fact, such promotion efforts cannot be considered extremely powerful. The number of new users brought to the Flash Chat software is not as terrifying as imagined.

So as Chen Ping said, even now the number of users of Flash Chat software has exploded. But in fact, the final peak of growth may not exceed 50 million.

Even if it has 50 million users, at that time, the number of users of the Flash Chat software will grow, and it will fall into a bottleneck period.

Compared with the 200 million users of Tencent QQ, there is still an incomparable gap. It is precisely because of this that Qiu Wenhua gradually calmed down, and then began to think carefully about Chen Ping's meaning.

After a while, Chen Ping did not let Qiu Wenhua continue to think about it, but he seemed to be talking to himself and smiled softly: "People are habitual, when a person is accustomed to using a thing, he wants to change him. The effort required for such a behavior pattern will be several times or even dozens of times as much as before.

The first choice for most domestic netizens to use chat software is Tencent QQ. On the one hand, it is because Tencent QQ is indeed a very good chat software.

On the other hand, it is also because of the nature of the chat software itself.

The chat software itself is actually a social tool, and the most important thing of this social tool is to communicate with your social circle in another way.

That is to say, the user of any chat software, when using the chat software, the biggest purpose is to communicate with his own social circle.

And when most of the people in one's own social circle are using the same kind of chat software, it will be extremely difficult for people to give up this chat software and use a brand new chat software that no one else around them is using. difficult thing.

At present, our Flash Chat software is facing such a situation.

The vast majority of netizens in China use Tencent QQ, a chat software. Even our flash messaging chat software is stronger than Tencent QQ in all aspects.

However, the first choice of chat software for these netizens is still Tencent QQ.

Even at present, the users of Flash Chat software who are still active will gradually reduce their attention to Flash Chat software after a period of time.

The only thing I'm concerned about is probably the chat group function. After all, the vast majority of users of our Flash Chat software are online game players.

The chat group function makes it more convenient for players of these online games to conduct multi-person discussions and exchanges. But in addition, the chat software they use every day is probably still Tencent QQ.

After all, in their social circle, the chat software used by most people is basically Tencent QQ.

Therefore, after a period of time, the activity data of the Flash Chat software will decline sharply, which is almost inevitable.

And most importantly, this is the best possible situation. That is to say, we have a big killer like a chat group in our hands, which can at least maintain a certain user activity of the Flash Chat software.

But have you ever thought about what kind of situation it would be if the chat group function appeared on other chat software, or even on the Tencent QQ chat software? "

Chen Ping's last sentence immediately shocked more than a dozen people in the conference room, especially Qiu Wenhua, the manager of Flash Mail Development Department, whose pupils shrank slightly, and then his face changed wildly.

Shen Sheng asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean..."

Chen Ping also gave a wry smile, then took a deep look at Qiu Wenhua in front of him, and said softly, word by word, "Mr. Qiu, don't underestimate Tencent, the development power that Tencent has is our Guangyu. Tech companies are nowhere near comparable.

Our Coslight Technology Company can overcome the development level of chat groups in a few days, then Tencent can overcome such barriers and launch the same chat group function in a shorter period of time.

Even our Flash Chat software has applied for patents for various new functions. But in fact, in business, Tencent has countless ways to avoid the so-called patent use rights.

They can also launch the same chat group function, and even we are about to launch various other functions.

So, next, if Tencent launches the same chat group function on Tencent QQ, the chat software, have you ever thought about what kind of situation the Flashmail chat software will face at that time? "

Hearing Chen Ping's words, many people started to look at each other in dismay. But before they could react, Chen Ping continued to speak in a deep voice: "It's not just a chat group function.

If only such a function is copied, it is not a fatal blow to the Flash Chat software.

But if Tencent copied several of our other crucial new features one after another, what would the final situation look like? "
