There is a busy scene in Tencent Group's office building.
The employees who occasionally walked through the corridor didn't look very good either.
The continued decline in performance made them vaguely smell the crisis of layoffs.
Yes, QQ has not had a good time recently.
Since the launch of the Future People 10 chat function last year, the number of active users of QQ has been showing a weak trend.
The person in charge of the QQ project department almost turned pale and did not come up with any good way to win back the game.
What?
You say user stickiness?
That’s right, when your relatives, friends and even netizens use QQ, you really don’t have a good time to change the chat tool.
But when your relatives, friends and netizens basically have the Future People 10 installed on their mobile phones, and the Future People 10 happens to have a chat function, is QQ really irreplaceable?
Especially in the future Ren Technology has used a very insidious move, friend synchronization technology!
WeChat and QQ can synchronize the mobile contact list, while Future Ren 10 synchronizes the WeChat and QQ friend list very domineeringly.
That is, any user who downloads Future People 10, QQ and WeChat at the same time can synchronize friends in the list of Future People 10 and intelligently group them according to user habits.
This move was so annoying that the person in charge of the QQ project department cursed, but he had no choice.
Future Ren Technology did not violate any laws, and did not copy the user's consent to place an unilateral copy, which did not have any impact on the normal operation of QQ, and did not violate relevant laws that restrict vicious competition.
At least the market share of communication software on mobile phones has been stolen by Future Ren Technology.Fortunately, QQ is supported by PC, but WeChat, which has always had a good performance, is in terrible.
The foundation that supports the Tencent Empire building is QQ number, and any of its products are built on this foundation.
And now, Future People 10 begins to extend his hands to the building itself.
Boss, Ren Technology has made new moves in the future.A secretary with square glasses walked into the office and gently placed a document on Ma Huateng's desk.
Lao Ma sat at the desk with a deep face, his eyes never leaving the screen of the notebook.
That was an article reprinted by the News Network.
The internal testing of the virtual reality masterpiece "God-level Continent" has begun. Future Ren Technology invites 2,000 players from all over the world to board a luxury cruise ship together.
These days, Future Ren Technology has been building momentum for virtual reality.Ma Huateng is very suspicious that in the future, Ren Technology will be able to make back the capital of publicity in the end.
He still knows something about virtual reality technology.Although China has made achievements in the field of virtual reality, there is still a big gap compared to Internet giants such as Microsoft and Google.
Even virtual reality online games abroad are in their infancy, so why bother to come over?
When they eat the meat, they will take back the leftover rice and stir-fry it. Isn’t it very delicious?
Why do you have to study innovation and invent?
Anyway, in this 1.3 billion market, copyright is nothing.
It's so stupid, tsk, can't do business.
Ma Huateng shook his head.
But that said, the measures of Future Ren Technology still cause a lot of trouble for Tencent.
If that virtual reality online game has entered the internal beta stage, it will undoubtedly be an unprecedented rush for any traditional online game on PC and mobile.
What is distressing is that the test site of "God-level Continent" was chosen in the Panu Islands, and it did not accept media interviews, and no photos were leaked. Tencent has too little information.
Is it a traditional somatosensory VR device or a legendary immersive VR device?
Even online is very controversial.
Many people who claim to be internal test players (Shui Jun) posted that they are actually somatosensory devices.
But some people who claim to be internal beta players claim that Future Ren Technology has developed the legendary immersive device.
The so-called "no pictures" is because no photos are leaked, which makes everything in the god-level continent seem confusing.
boss?The secretary asked tentatively.
Are there any more famous virtual reality companies in China?Ma Huateng sighed and said.
Shanghai Lexiang Technology Company, the deepn virtual reality device launched last year, uses Samsung AMOLED-1080P-full HD screen, a refresh rate of up to 75HZ and a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees, which performed well at last year's CES exhibition.
Send someone to discuss the acquisition.Ma Hua waved his hand and said.
yes.The secretary nodded, turned around and walked out the door quickly.
The acquisition should not be very difficult. The domestic virtual reality industry has always been lukewarm, and lukewarm means that there is little capital to pursue.
If someone is willing to pay for their creativity, I believe they will be happy to cash in on the technology in their hands.
Ma Huateng stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.
Looking down at the street view of Shenzhen and his reflection on the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Very good. Since your future Ren Technology has announced that it has entered the virtual reality era, I will play with you!
……
The so-called Icarus paradox refers to companies with monopoly positions that are afraid of change and are unwilling to update their management, technology, and business models.
This will make it difficult to adapt to a rapidly changing environment and lose its advantage in new competition.
So what is the Icanos effect?
That is, companies that already have a monopoly position in the current market will spare no effort to use the resources at hand to prevent the emergence of such changes.
Just like energy giants withdrawing investment from new energy development, maliciously acquiring new energy vehicle companies, etc.
However, the equity structure of RenTech in the future is stable and its operating conditions are extremely good, which makes many Internet giants feel like they are unable to get started.
At this moment, Microsoft headquarters is far away from Seattle.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was sitting at her desk, staring at the coffee on the table and listening to the assistant's report in distractedness.
...HlLens' overall sales rose by 27% in July.
When he heard this, he came back to his senses.
HlLens is a holographic glasses designed by Microsoft based on the Windows 10 framework.
The market response has been good since its release in 2016, but it is really rare to see such obvious sales fluctuations.
...As of the close, Nasdaq's virtual reality sector rose across the board. Affected by the virtual reality business launched last year, our company's stock also rose by 3%.
The 3% increase on that day was already an objective increase for Microsoft, which is a behemoth.
Nadella closed her eyes.
Establish a subsidiary to operate the HlLens project and immediately issue a development announcement about HlLens2.
The assistant widened his eyes and looked at Nadella in disbelief.
But HlLens has just been launched... Could it be
Nadella glanced at the assistant and said nothing.
He knew what he wanted to say.Building a shell, issuing an announcement, and listing of subsidiaries is the rhythm of preparing to find a buyer.
But the prospects for virtual reality are smooth, why do you need to do this?
The board of directors will not agree.The assistant reminded cautiously.
Don't think too much, I'm just preparing for both.Nadella stood up, I will explain to the board of directors, and I need to ask Gates for his opinion.
After saying that, Nadella left the office, leaving behind an assistant with shocked expression.
Holding the document, the assistant stood there for a long time.
He didn't understand why Microsoft's strength needed to prepare for both.
……
Inside the office building of 360 Group.
God-level continent?Virtual reality online games?Hoho, interesting.
While browsing the web pages on the laptop screen, Zhou Hongwei was amazed.
Boss, you don’t seem to be in a hurry?Standing next to the desk, his capable general Zhang Jianfeng smiled bitterly.
Why are you in a hurry?Zhou Hongwei glanced at him and leaned on the office chair. Is this thing so anxious?It has been more than half a year, and people in the future are almost updating to 20. The project department responsible for cracking has not yet produced any results. It really raises a bunch of waste.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hongwei was so angry.
Although 360 and Future Ren Technology have cooperation in projects, Zhou Hongwei has never stopped cracking Future Ren 10.
However, just a while ago, he completely gave up cracking the Future People 10 and dissolved the project department that was specifically responsible for cracking the Future People 10.
He knew very well that it was not just his own company that made this choice. The confidentiality measures of the Future People 10 were as hard as a turtle shell, which made him unable to speak.
I remember at the beginning of the year, he also found an old friend who worked in the Patent Office and wanted him to help copy the patent documents applied for by Future Ren Technology from the information room.
However, his old friend said helplessly that the people from their patent office have repeatedly persuaded Future Ren Technology to submit detailed technical information as soon as possible, and what are the benefits of applying for a patent? However, the CEO of Future Ren Technology is still so inhumane.
unnecessary.
Very no need.
How despised the coders who work hard to face the future people 10 times.
But now, Future Ren Technology has launched another virtual reality smoke bomb.
Zhou Hongwei couldn't help but curse in his heart: Can't you fucking throw out new technologies slowly?
The previous ones have not been cracked, so you throw out a new thing.
If you take such a big step, you are not afraid of ripping it!
boss?Seeing that the boss's face turned blue and white, Zhang Jianfeng asked tentatively.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Hongwei recovered from his distraction.
I want to hear what you think.
Zhang Jianfeng nodded. It was obvious that he came prepared. When he saw the boss ask about his opinion, he immediately stated it.
There are probably two ways in front of us now. One is to acquire a ready-made virtual reality technology company to see if we can get a share of the virtual reality hotspot created by future generations of Renmin Technology.The second is to miss this opportunity. After all, the market in the mobile phone and PC fields still has a lot of room for development.If all capital goes to pursue the virtual reality industry, this will be a good opportunity for us to expand our market share in the mobile phone and PC fields.
Zhou Hongwei closed his eyes and thought for a long time.
After a while, he sighed.
I prefer the second option.
Zhang Jianfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
I think so too.
Regardless of the future RenTech is crazy about building momentum for virtual reality online games, will it be impossible to pull the ball when taking such a big step? If 360 also takes such a big step, it will be almost unquestionable to pull the ball when taking such a big step.
It's better to be more stable.
Even if the virtual reality is magical, it is impossible to replace the mobile phone.
Compared with the three BAT giants, 360 still has a considerable gap in strength.
Even if Zhou Hongwei wants to fight with them, he is afraid that his chances of winning will not be very high.
Funding is one aspect and technology is also one aspect. 360 has neither advantage in both aspects.
What it should do most at this moment is not to follow the trend, but to take advantage of the situation when capital is pouring into the virtual reality industry and expand its market share on the mobile side.
Now 360 Search has gradually shaken Baidu Search's market share?
We should work harder to let those big hooligans fight to the future technology. We should be stable.
After all, because of the Lingyu Technology incident last time, the cooperation between 360 and Future Ren Technology is still closely listened to.
Zhou Hongwei sighed.
To be honest, he was really unwilling to make such a choice, but he was helpless.
What he didn't know, however, was that in just a few months he would be grateful for his choice.
The employees who occasionally walked through the corridor didn't look very good either.
The continued decline in performance made them vaguely smell the crisis of layoffs.
Yes, QQ has not had a good time recently.
