Become the richest man in the world starting from the rebirth of college entrance examination

Just when Zhou Hao was busy preparing to return to Yao'an for filming, Guo Kaiyu brought Zhou Hao a big news: Tencent and NetEase were both testing products similar to Tieba.

Tencent developed Q Bar based on the QQ chat room. Q Bar is 90% similar to Tie Bar. It is said that Tencent wants to divert traffic directly from QQ and QQ chat rooms.

As for NetEase, their internal beta product is called Youba. Like Q Bar, it is 90% similar in structure to Tieba, but they want to make it a professional game Tieba.

Ning Hao had almost completed all the coordination work and was about to set off in the next two days, and the equipment had been sent to Yao An first. However, Zhou Hao suddenly received this news that made him a little uneasy.

In Zhou Hao's memory, Tencent and NetEase have never made any products similar to Tieba, but why are they launching products similar to Tieba now? The possibility only comes from yourself.

The last Tieba was officially launched at the end of 03. My appearance brought Tieba two years ahead of schedule. It was precisely because I took Tieba out in advance that Tengxun and NetEase now have ideas for Tieba.

Zhou Hao has calculated that except for QQ, Tencent has no real derivatives. The next heavyweight product is QQ game, but this platform was not born until 03, which is about the same period as Tieba. If According to the rhythm of the previous life, Baidu was developing Tieba, and Tencent happened to be developing QQ games. At that time, Baidu was developing Tieba to increase user stickiness, and Tencent was developing QQ games for the same purpose. So at that time, the two companies were busy with their own affairs. There is no conflict of interest, so Tencent has no energy to develop Tieba, but it is different now.

Now Tencent is in a product window period. With the rise of Tieba, it is reasonable for them to choose to follow up.

As for what kind of game NetEase is going to develop, Zhou Hao is a little confused. Even if they do it, it should be done by the game portal, right?

Zhou Hao suddenly remembered that NetEase will also be a game-focused company in the future, and their first online game "Westward Journey" should be launched by the end of this year. Maybe it was just recently!

"Westward Journey" is NetEase's stepping stone in the online game market. Now NetEase's development momentum is very rapid. Under this situation, the product model of Tieba is in front of them. They want to take advantage of the opportunity of making online games to build a game Tieba. Understandable.

After comprehensive analysis, Zhou Hao also understood the intentions of Tencent and NetEase in establishing Tieba. Tencent wanted to directly compete with Tieba, while NetEase wanted to cut away Tieba's game users and traffic in the vertical field of games. Both are wild ambitions, especially Tencent. It now has tens of millions of users. If it really makes "Q Bar" bigger, it won't be that you take away his base, but that he will take away his own!

Zhou Hao responded quickly. On the one hand, he asked Guo Kaiyu to find a way to find out the news. On the other hand, he asked him to strictly block the two products currently being developed by Haobo Technology: Personal Space and Happy Farm. These two are his magic weapons to win. He must ensure that Absolutely ahead.

Guo Kaiyu had previously known about Zhou Hao's overall plan for the "battle to win the title". Naturally, he was well aware of the threats posed by the two major Internet companies. He immediately assured Zhou Hao that the two core products would never be exposed.

Zhou Hao nodded, "Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing. I originally wanted to use Tieba to take away Tencent's foundation in instant messaging. Now they actually want to imitate Tieba and replace me. As long as its Q bar is online, I will not only Its Q bar has been completely destroyed, and it has to seize all the advantages it has accumulated in instant messaging.”

Guo Kaiyu asked: "What about NetEase?"

Zhou Hao waved his hand: "NetEase has no chance. Before 03, NetEase wouldn't have much development in the field of online games. It couldn't do its core business well. How can you compete with me? The current game community is not professional enough. If you want to dominate the game community, I still have a sharp weapon that I haven’t taken out yet.”

Guo Kaiyu hurriedly asked: "What sharp weapon is it, boss?"

Zhou Hao smiled slightly and pretended to be mysterious, "It's not time yet, let's do our best to do the things in front of us first."

Guo Kaiyu saw that Zhou Hao was unwilling to say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Hao is now thinking about yy voice. yy voice is a team voice software. It started as a team voice platform and later transformed into voice and video live broadcast. Zhou Hao directly integrated this with the group function when his own instant messaging software was launched. The reason why he still doesn't want to do it now is that the current Internet bandwidth is limited and instant voice has not yet been developed vigorously.

However, this does not prevent Zhou Hao from making stage plans. Tieba has now gathered many game users. When its instant messaging software is launched and the group function is launched, it will be able to provide instant group messaging for these game users, although it is still only Text communication is enough. As for group voice communication, it is a matter for the next stage.

Less than two days after the news came out, Tencent Q Bar completed the inner side and went online.

Even Zhou Hao was a little surprised by this speed. As soon as he received the news of the internal beta, it was online. Tencent was very strict in the development and internal testing process. The most embarrassing thing is that Haobo Technology’s personal space and Happy Farm are still Didn't complete the beta test.

Tencent has the advantage at this stage. The share of Tieba was originally 100%, and there was a huge overlap between users and Tencent. As soon as Q Bar went online, it directly cut off many users through QQ software and QQ chat rooms, and even launched a Many trolls go to major Tieba posts to post advertisements, trying to attract more Tieba users to Q Bar.

Soon Tieba was criticized by people in the industry.

Previously, there was news about Baidu withdrawing from Haobo Technology, and there were rumors that Haobo Technology was going its own way and insisting on being a navigation website. Later, there was news about the emergence of Tencent Q Bar, NetEase’s internal testing of Youba, and Haobo Technology’s Tieba. It's normal for people to be negative.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Muhaobo Technology first lost allies, chose the wrong development direction, and now has strong enemies. It is suffering from internal and external troubles, and is bound to go downhill.

If Haobo Technology can turn the tide in time and alleviate this downward trend, if they still insist on being a navigation website, I am afraid that the decline will become faster and faster.

As soon as Q Bar was launched, Mr. Li from Baidu met Luo Chenyi. Mr. Li asked Luo Chenyi: "Lao Luo, what do you think the future of Haobo Technology will be like?"

Luo Chenyi said: "I think Zhou Hao screwed up this time. It's not that he was obsessed with making a navigation website, but that Tieba hasn't closed the B-round yet."

"Ideas can change as the situation changes, but Haobo Technology is not favored by the industry now, and capital is very cautious about them. Before this, Haobo Technology raised Series B at any time with a valuation of 300 to 400 million. Now it seems that, Even if it lowers its value, capital will not come in easily, but Haobo Technology has raised a total of several million in the A round from the beginning to now, and cut off part of it to Wangwa Technology. Their cash flow may not last long. "

Mr. Li nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "You are right. The battle between the two armies is not about military power but logistics. Zhou Hao is now without food. Tencent's Q bar continues to exert its strength. He simply cannot afford it. , and in the end it can only be eaten away a little bit.”

Speaking, Mr. Li said with a smile: "I think we should wait and see how long Zhou Hao can persist under the siege of Tencent and NetEase. If the time is right, I think we can give him a hand."

Luo Chenyi opened his eyes wide, "Give him a hand?"

Mr. Li smiled and said: "Yes, even if Q Bar and You Bar attack Tieba together, Tieba still has an advantage. At least Tieba has accumulated content and user habits for such a long time, so its share will be eroded, but This process will not be too fast. If Zhou Hao does not have the funds to compete with the two companies, and does not have the capital to dare to invest in him, then we will reinvest in Haobo Technology. Whether it is Tencent or NetEase, their Tieba products do not have our advantages. Tieba can freely create keyword Tieba in the form of search keywords, naturally to integrate with search engines.”

Luo Chenyi said: "What you said is true, but Mr. Li, if we invest in Tieba, we may not be able to beat Tencent and NetEase."

Mr. Li nodded, "There is no need to fight. As long as Tieba can hold on to more than 60% of the share and persist, it will be considered a success. If Zhou Hao reaches the edge of the cliff, he will find ways to save himself. We are the only ones who can save him then, because we Not only can we provide money, but we can also provide traffic. If Tieba is on the verge of life and death, only we can save it!"

Luo Chenyi said with a smile: "When we invested in him in the A round, it was the icing on the cake. This time it is a timely help. Zhou Hao will definitely not guard his shares as strictly as before, and hemorrhage will definitely be inevitable."
