Chapter 1045 (1/2)
When Li Mu came to America, he made a series of combos.
The most direct result of this combination is the sharp rise of users of Paradise town in the United States.
Driven by two tens of millions of dollars of bonus activities, ”Paradise town” can hardly stop like a wing, which makes the whole Microsoft MSN business department panic.
At present, MSN has four core businesses: MSN portal network, MSN network access, MSN Messenger and MSN hotmail.
Among them, msn-messenger is the MSN software for instant messaging. In addition, MSN portal and MSN mailbox are also important business segments of MSN, with more than 100 million users.
Among them, the one who is most afraid of YY is msn-messenger, which has the same positioning as YY, but the overall level is different from the instant messaging software of several times.
In their eyes, ”Paradise town” is like the launching pad of YY, a nuclear bomb. As its users increase, the angle of the launching pad tends to be more vertical. Once the angle enters the ideal launching state of 90 degree vertical, YY will be released mercilessly by Li Mu.
Microsoft is very clear up and down, once YY uses ”Paradise town” to achieve the perfect debut in front of the US netizens, MSN will suffer the disaster.
Today's MSN has been abandoned by YY for several times at the product level. Although the latest version has been quietly developed, and many of YY's unique functions have been copied in the latest version, Li Mu's deep understanding of the future Internet is still lacking, so even if the new version is developed, it is still much weaker than YY as a whole.
It is also easy to understand that for a long time, compared with the automobile manufacturers in developed countries, the domestic automobile manufacturers have a huge strength gap. Even if there are so many overseas successful models for reference, the domestic automobile still has a gap with the developed countries in engine, chassis, gearbox and other aspects, which is the objective fact of the technical gap.
Although Microsoft is powerful as a whole, it is not a universal enterprise in the Internet industry. MSN has always been a rotten product in the eyes of Li Mu in the last life, which shows that Microsoft does not really have the gene to make social communication software.
So, even if Microsoft wants to imitate Li Mu in this life, it should not have this gene or not, which is a defect that he can't make up.
Behind many of YY's humanized functions, there are technical patent barriers of Makino technology itself. How to solve users' chatting records roaming, offline files, how to support group chatting, how to solve the group message receiving and sending and storage logic, how to develop more advanced streaming media transmission technology, and how to realize nesting in the software, etc. are all what Microsoft MSN needs Solve the problem.
In addition, Microsoft can't compete with Makino technology only in terms of design aesthetics and interface friendliness.
Design Aesthetics needs a long-term precipitation to form its own set of things. It is difficult to form its own style simply by imitating and copying, which is very obvious in the automotive industry.
In the next ten years, even if there are so many overseas successful models of domestic cars for reference, it is still difficult to produce several truly original and really good-looking models, because of the lack of design aesthetics precipitation.
Of course, it's needless to say that a series of products are 100% copied by Zhongti's tape measure. However, Zhongti can do such a thing, but Microsoft will not.
Because of this, MSN is developing the latest version in-house, which still lags behind YY for more than one time in design aesthetics.
However, this new MSN, which is still behind YY by more than one era, has not been developed yet, and several functions have not yet been able to find effective solutions. According to the plan, this product will wait at least another two months to be tested, and then it will be released after the test is correct.
But now, MSN's team leader can't wait.
Once ”Paradise town” begins to flow to YY, msn-messenger is the first one. It can be predicted that by then, all players of ”Paradise town” will almost give up MSN and turn to YY in the first time.
In addition, there is MSN mailbox. YY itself integrates the mailbox function, and the user experience is much better than msn-messenger and MSN mailbox. If the user gives up msn-messenger and chooses YY, it can be sure that the user will give up MSN mailbox.
The only thing to be thankful for is that YY portal is not available in English yet, otherwise even MSN portal will be impacted by YY.
So, in the eyes of MSN team, YY is the number one enemy of MSN at present. In order to prevent YY from suddenly using paradise town to occupy the whole American market, Luis may, the head of MSN business department and one of the vice presidents of Microsoft group, held an emergency meeting, decided to launch the new version of MSN in advance, and asked that the faster the better.Lewis May's request made everyone feel nervous.
