The biggest difference between WeChat groups and QQ groups in later generations is two places. One is that you can easily build a group anytime and anywhere, and the other is that any group member can also attract people to join the group at will.

The comments on these two functions are actually mixed in online reviews, but WeChat still does this. The most fundamental reason is that it handles differently from QQ, taking a route that is different from QQ, allowing different people to use Teng Xun's own social software.

The same is true for Quxin's development ideas. Zhou Yujie does not need to consider whether users like this function, because those who like it will use QQ. Only some people who do not like QQ's business model are the users that Quxin may attract at the beginning.

Several engineers from Toutiao Company are still chatting with Quxin. Like the female dormitories in ordinary colleges, six people formed seven or eight groups, sending messages to each other constantly in order to test the stability of the software.

"It's almost done, and the basic functions meet my requirements." Zhou Yujie nodded and said, "Just as long as you ensure the stability of the software and server, you can add other functions slowly."

The current social software is that simple, and Zhou Yujie’s requirement is to be simple, try to learn from WeChat in future generations. As for some nuclear weapon-level functions, of course, you have to wait for the right time to launch them so that you can achieve the greatest effect.

Lin Youde said: "Mr. Zhou, there is a question: Do we do the VOIP business?"

"If we don't do things that will seek death, we won't do the first thing we can do. At least we have to wait until it has a certain scale." Zhou Yujie denied without hesitation.

VOIP, full name is Voice over Internet Protocol, which is voice calling. This most common function in later generations is still a taboo at present, not because the technology cannot be achieved, but because it cannot be said.

In fact, around 2005, a new technology emerged abroad, that is, using computers to directly talk to mobile phone users for free. This technology quickly flowed to China, but it was directly killed before it developed.

QQ, even with a top giant like Teng Xun, it could only try to leave messages in voice and did not dare to go beyond the line. In 2013, WeChat became a national software and accumulated hundreds of millions of users before it dared to try to take this step, but it soon received an iron fist-like blow. On the hot searches of the Internet back then, whether WeChat videos and voice will charge fees, has always dominated the hot searches.

It was not until 14 years later that the free tide was unstoppable, and people's demand for calls decreased, that operators also discovered the huge profit margin in 4G traffic, which made free chat a reality.

Zhou Yujie continued: "We are small in scale and may not be discovered when we open VOIP business, but if we are discovered in the future, you must stop this business, and then a large number of users will give up using Quxin.

Social software is different from other applications. Other applications have left half of it, which means half of it. At most, the profit is half less. But Quxin is a social software, and friend links are the core. If 1/10 of the users are missing, it will immediately trigger an avalanche effect.

I would rather not have these users in the early stage than influence others because of these people's departure in the later stage. Now we can just use voice messages."

Communication is actually a new feeling. When mobile phones about 00 were just popular, many couples had not enough time to call. More than ten years later, telecommunications companies were desperately sending call time because no one had called for a long time.

The fundamental reason is that fragmented chat is the mainstream market. Unless there is really an urgent matter, or if couples have just entered the stage of passionate love, information chat and voice chat are more suitable for most people.

Therefore, although most netizens are calling every day to release the voice call function, they have done so after 14 years, but the number of people using it is not as much as they imagined.

What you can't get is the best, and that's the case if you get it. This is common in any field.

Zhou Yujie then asked, "How are you preparing for Toutiao today?"

Lin Youde said: "The framework has been built, but the main core of Toutiao is the application of intelligent recommendation of this system. Only after the market is opened can we optimize data. At present, the logic of our software is to focus on the hot searches of mainstream platforms such as Baidu, Tengxun News, Weibo, and NetEase, and crawl every day and then recommend it to users.

Then we will determine the user's preferences based on whether the user clicks and viewing time, and then make further similar news recommendations to gradually improve our algorithm."

"Yes, there is no need to consider advertising revenue in the early stage of Toutiao. I hope that in the shortest time, our users will begin to become addicted to our various news recommendations." Zhou Yujie said solemnly: "What I need is the time for users."

Toutiao in history has exceeded 10 million subscribers within three months, which is unlikely for the moment, because the smartphone market is different in size.

In terms of funds, I should be stronger than Toutiao at that time. In terms of traffic, AppTrea can also provide some help. However, Zhang Yimin in his previous life was a super strong man. He successfully cashed out and left the scene for four times. Finally, he founded Toutiao. As an entrepreneur born in the 1980s, he created an Internet giant that can compete with Tengxun Alibaba in a few years. This kind of keen sensing ability and management execution ability to the market are what Zhou Yujie lacks at present.

In later generations, when the monthly active users exceeded 100 million, the average time for each user to use was 70 minutes a day. This number is very scary. It is already very good for other portals to have half of this number.

This also indirectly shows that big data intelligent recommendation can capture a person's heart and make netizens addicted to the heaven of content he likes; and good things will naturally attract more people to join, so Toutiao has become the king of mobile portals in a very short time.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I didn't plan to accept any advertisements in the first three months." Lin Youde said with a smile. The account has more than 10 million US dollars, which is the greatest confidence of Toutiao. Otherwise, if a company established in the first place cannot quickly obtain venture capital funds, it will easily face the question of whether to choose the number of users or funds. At this time, venture capital will take the opportunity to lower the price. After all, there are still very few real investors like Masayoshi Son and Sequoia Capital.

"Okay, then let's do it first. Just ensure the stability of the company's products, and the direction will develop according to this." Zhou Yujie nodded and suddenly, the QQ on his mobile phone rang.

Zhou Yujie opened it and saw that it was Chen Qian, a young lawyer from Rongsheng Firm, who sent him a sentence: [Mr. Zhou, do you need to go see the car?]
