After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 121 Tencent’s competitive product analysis meeting becomes more and more desperate!
Tencent responded quickly, and WeChat and QQ held emergency meetings in Guangzhou and Beijing respectively.

They recalled that some time ago, when the Baiju Technology team came to them to request cooperation for some element-level services, both sides had been playing Tai Chi.

I originally thought that social networking was an absolute moat that no one could break through and it was a private territory that belonged exclusively to one’s family.

But they didn't expect that Baiju Technology would directly attack their forbidden area with its first move.

Although WeChat and QQ have not been greatly affected at present, anyone with a discerning eye can see the aggressiveness and strong competitiveness of Baiju Technology.

“The so-called system-level plug-in they offer blocks the operating system of the hardware. If the so-called element-level service is promoted, all apps will be broken down into individual services that can be freely combined by users.

"Other apps are fine, but what about our mini-programs?"

The WeChat team is not unaware of the strength of Baiju Technology's Xiaosha, but what they have done has actually touched upon WeChat's core interests, which makes it almost impossible to compromise.

This is also the fundamental reason why they did not agree to Baiju Technology's element-level chat service last time.

We didn't provide it, and Baiju Technology didn't ask them for it, but I never expected that they would do it themselves.

And this caused such a big commotion.

What was originally thought to be an absolute moat turned out to be like tofu dregs for Baiju Technology.

Especially his flow, it's amazing.

The WeChat team also summarized what they did immediately and came to the following conclusion:

"Baiju Technology has redefined social interaction. Before, what did we think of social interaction as? Chat, voice, and video. These are the core.

"Other things include sending red envelopes, sending green envelopes, sharing articles, sharing links, etc. These are all extensions of social interaction.

“But what does this product manager of Baiju Technology think of as social networking?
“Thousands of miles away, I bought you a gift, it’s social.

“Sitting in the library, I hand you a book, it’s socializing.

“Sitting in a restaurant and me feeding you a bun is also a form of socializing.

"In his eyes, any exchange of what you have and I don't have, any sharing between you and me, and even any form of interaction or connection between people or between people and things is social.

"All of these can be realized or simulated through circulation in Xiaoshaxing." Zhang Yilong, the founder of WeChat and current president of the WeChat business group, has a very unique vision and analyzed the core right away.

After hearing Zhang Yilong's words, everyone couldn't help but think of the case a technician had just shared, where her mother forwarded a message to him and scolded his father. It was a classic.

At this time, each of them experienced the power of "quicksand", especially the power of quicksand which they called "everything can flow".

Yes, Huawei mentioned the Internet of Everything. Although Baiju Technology did not mention anything, the WeChat team gave a description for this feature during the response meeting: "Everything can flow."

These people tested Quicksand, especially the entire process of the flow function, just like testing their own products, and sorted out some of the rules:

The transfer-related functions require personal confirmation to activate, and whitelist and blacklist modes are provided.

Users on the whitelist can directly stream content to their devices and open it directly in non-Do Not Disturb mode, while blacklist users are prohibited from streaming. Normal friends who are neither black nor white will receive a message notification, which they need to click to start.

A very important issue here is that in the Do Not Disturb mode, in addition to forcibly turning it on, Xiaosha knows exactly what state you are in when using your device. For example, if your girlfriend sends a heart, Xiaosha knows when it is appropriate to send it to your device.

It won't pop up when you're casting your screen in a meeting - unless you want to show off.

Without saying anything else, just for this one function, Xiaosha is the only one that can make real-time and accurate judgments.

"How can we keep up with the completely subverted concept of social networking?" This was shared by another product manager, and the tablets that everyone brought and the large screen in the conference room were provided by him through the flow function of quicksand.

“As Mr. Li just said, all communication is social, and so is the PPT on my computer that I just circulated to you. I am operating it here, and each of you can see it on your own device.”

The product manager said: "Moreover, you can make the PPT I shared full screen, small window or even closed. Also, did you notice that there was a typo on this page of the PPT just now? My assistant has corrected it through his device, and it was corrected without leaving any trace.

“She just gave me a pop-up, but only I saw it.

"This is also one of the concepts. In the past, we talked about screen projection, sharing, and remote assistance. In Liusha, it has completely become the same concept, which they call flow.

"The objects of delivery and circulation have also changed from screen to application, or even element-level application. What I am circulating to you here is PPT, so whether I am chatting here or opening other apps, your devices and office screens cannot see it.

"You see, even though my WeChat chat window has covered the top of the PPT, you are still seeing this page of PPT."

The product manager even turned his tablet over and spun it around so everyone could see his screen. "But if I move the PPT, everyone can see it."

This is what the product manager discovered and shared. He finally said with emotion: "It is very easy to use. Once you use it, you can't go back."

……

Next, leaders of departments related to technology, marketing, products, etc. shared their own uses and ideas one by one.

Some are about work, some are about parents, and some are about partners, but no matter which aspect, Liusha does it very well.

If Quicksand is good, then Tencent is bad.

The more we analyze abnormal competitors, the more things will seem wrong. The more we listen, the more desperate the team members will become, because they are currently unable to do any of the things mentioned in Quicksand.

"Liusha has its advantages, but we also have our advantages." Zhang Yilong saw that this was not going to work, and he had to encourage them, otherwise the team would fall apart:
"Our advantage is that we have nearly 14 billion monthly active users, almost everyone has one. And Xiaosha, according to statistics from relevant agencies, has just 4.5 million! At least for now, we have an absolute advantage in terms of user scale.

“Besides, we have been operating social networking for decades, and users have formed the habit of using WeChat and QQ. Even if they use Xiaosha for a short period of time, they will never give up WeChat.

"This is our window period, and we must solve the problem within it."

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. There was a window of opportunity and a way out, so they decided to take a step back.

"Boss, Baiju Technology has made new moves!" As soon as Zhang Yilong finished speaking, another sentence came, and the atmosphere, which had just relaxed a little, was suddenly lifted again.
