My Age of Investment - Chapter 1488 Weifeng.com

   Chapter 1488 Weifeng Net

   In the next few days, an article titled "Wisdom Fruit Blocks WeChat" was suddenly posted on Weifeng.com, and quickly attracted the attention of the majority of fruit fans.

   That's right, it's fruit powder!

  Although the Fuxing mobile phone has achieved world-renowned achievements in this time and space, and is not inferior to the iPhone in terms of performance and design, it still cannot control the free choice of every consumer.

  Wisdom Fruit has sold more than one million mobile phones with the help of its partner Unicom since it entered China last year.

   Millions of mobile phones correspond to millions of users, most of whom are not very good at using smart fruit mobile phones, but simply fancy others' American brands.

   As a result, Weifeng.com, the largest Chinese iPhone community in China, came forward to provide a platform for iPhone lovers to freely communicate, discuss and learn.

  This Chinese Internet community was established on the second day of the first-generation iPhone product launch conference, and it has been three years since then.

In the first two years, the website has been developing tepidly, because its positioning is relatively small, and Zhiguo has not officially entered the Chinese market at that time. The mobile phones flowing into the Chinese market are basically parallel imports from Hong Kong Island, and the number is not large. , naturally not many people visit Weifeng.com.

   At the same time, Weifeng.com can’t compete with a group of communities and small websites headed by Fuxing Mall and Android.com to discuss Fuxing mobile phones and Android mobile phones.

However, since last year, Weifeng.com has been operating from time to time. Thanks to the cooperation between Zhizhiguo and China Unicom, the number of iPhone users in China is becoming more and more. Weifeng.com has also become a gathering place for millions of fruit fans. , and is also the civil spokesperson of Wisdom Fruit China.

  Developed to today, Weifeng.com is no longer the small website that wrote several Chinese software such as iPhone Chinese input method in the past.

It not only successfully obtained the angel investment of Shanda Games at the beginning of this year, but also expanded its product service line, such as translating and releasing the latest news about foreign wisdom fruit companies, providing website users with movies, music, software, wallpapers, The theme and other iPhone resource download platforms, and even cooperated with Wisdom Fruit to actively develop various iOS applications and free mini-games suitable for Chinese people. This year, it even shouted the development slogan of "Building a Wisdom Fruit Portal that Chinese Users Like".

   From the perspective of Wisdom Fruit users, an iPhone community website that answers their questions, teaches them how to use the iPhone correctly, and provides various Chinese software is undoubtedly excellent.

   But from Lin Bing's point of view, he hated Weifeng.com, the "leading party"!

  Because the Fuxing mobile phone has been focusing on both China and the international market since its release, it has also developed a variety of Chinese-specific applications according to the habits of Chinese users.

That is to say, although the Fuxing mobile phone sold in China and the mobile phone sold abroad have the same design, there are many differences in the mobile phone interface and application. Lots of research and various optimizations.

   As a result, Weifeng.com directly “stealed” the work results of Fuxing Mobile, imitated the applications of Fuxing Mobile, and developed many special applications and games for the iPhone to adapt to the Chinese market.

   In this way, Fuxing Mobile's competitive advantage in the local market has been wiped out, and at the same time, many obstacles have been cleared for Wisdom Fruit to enter China.

  Lin Bing once contacted Yang Bin, the founder of Weifeng.com under the guise of Vision Capital, and planned to spend some money to recruit this guy, so that he would not destroy it.

  As a result, Yang Bin rejected the investment and acquisition request put forward by Vision Capital, and insisted on contributing to the development and construction of Wisdom Fruit in China.

   There is no way, if you can't be friends, you can only be enemies.

  …………

  …………

  Pengcheng.

Nanshan District.

   Yang Bin, a young entrepreneur born in the 1980s, came to the company early in the morning. As soon as he sat down in the office, a subordinate knocked on the door and walked in, bringing him some bad news.

   "Wisdom fruit block WeChat?"

   Hearing this, Yang Bin hurriedly logged in to Weifeng.com, the iPhone portal he founded.

   is not much different from those small workshop-style websites. Weifeng.com's UI design and website layout are also messy.

   But after all, it was a website founded by himself, Yang Bin couldn’t be more familiar with it, and soon found the article about “challenging things” on the “Forum” channel.

  The article was published last night, and it has been almost ten hours now, and it has achieved tens of thousands of views and thousands of comments and replies.

  Although he was a little impatient, Yang Bin patiently read the entire article.

  "...According to reliable sources, Wisdom Fruit is determined to block WeChat this time.

   Zhang Dalong's team has communicated with the Wisdom Fruit Chinese team seven or eight times, but every time they are sent back by the Wisdom Fruit people to wait for news.

   Now the Android version of WeChat has been launched for more than ten days, and it is said that the number of users has exceeded 10 million.

   But the iOS version of WeChat is still a long way off!

All the friends around me are using Fuxing mobile phones. Just like Zhang Dalong and Xia Jingxing demonstrated at the press conference, they are holding mobile phones for voice intercom. I am the only one who uses smart fruit mobile phones. Now I want to register a WeChat to join their queue. no……"

   Yang Bin frowned more and more, this was clearly an article attacking and smearing the fruit of wisdom.

Although the language of the whole article is simple, it is from the point of view of an ordinary smart phone user to explain various inconveniences, there is no obvious praise for the revival mobile phone, nor does it belittle the smart phone, but as long as you read it carefully, anyone can feel the wisdom If the mobile phone is not trendy and convenient enough—for example, the whole company is chatting on WeChat, using WeChat group chat to discuss work, and I can’t join in alone, it’s so out of place!

  Yang Bin swiped the mouse quickly and continued to read the comments and replies below this post, both good and bad.

  The good comments are all to persuade the user to be patient. The iOS version of WeChat will be launched soon, and Wisdom Fruit Company will not fail to see the popularity of WeChat and choose to go against the general trend.

   And the bad comments directly began to persuade the user to change the phone, and also gave an example that he had already replaced the Fuxing mobile phone. The Fuxing FX3 is thinner and lighter than the iPhone4, and it is not easy to break the back cover of the mobile phone...

   Seeing this, Yang Bin's eyebrows were almost twisted together, and he was suddenly a little worried about the development of Wisdom Fruit in China.

   He is not worried, because Weifeng.com is positioned as the iPhone portal, and Wisdom Fruit is a grasshopper on a rope.

Speaking of which, the first-generation Fuxing mobile phone was released a few days earlier than the first-generation iPhone. Originally, Yang Bin had also thought of launching a website serving Android and Fuxing mobile phones, but there were people in Fuxing Mall Zhuyu before, so he could only find another way. Choose to bet on the fruit of wisdom.

   Soon, Yang Bin's wrinkled eyebrows gradually stretched out, because the **** fruit powder had arrived, and his words were sharper than each other.

   "The navy who revived the mobile phone, the appraisal is complete!"

   "Fucking Fuxing mobile phone, Lao Tzu loves to use the fruit of wisdom, and you don't want to bite me?"

"I don't understand why so many people tout the revival of mobile phones, and they are equated with patriotism! Think about it with your brain and know that the fruit of wisdom is better. They are real Silicon Valley companies. Fuxing mobile phones, hehe, put Android first. Let’s talk about it when the system is running smoothly!”

  …

   Looking at the noisy comment area, Yang Bin showed a smile. With the support of so many die-hard fruit fans, Wisdom Fruit's country is destined to die, and Weifeng.com doesn't have to worry about the problem of lack of food.

   However, there is such an article on the front page of Weifeng.com forum, which is really annoying.

   After all, Weifeng.com is also a partner of Wisdom Fruit in China. He was also received by Cook when he visited China. How can a navy be arrogant here!

  Thinking of this, Yang Bin immediately instructed his subordinates: "Go ahead and delete this post! The people below are also ignorant. If there are any other posts like this, they will be deleted!"

   "Huh? Delete?"

   The subordinate reminded me a lot: "Mr. Yang, what Weifeng.com advertises is a platform for free communication, discussion and learning!"

   Looking at the young man in front of him who had just walked out of the school, Yang Bin shook his head and laughed, "It was written for users, do you really believe it? How can there be an online platform for true freedom of speech in this world?"

   "Oh, okay, I'll arrange to delete the post right away."

   "Go ahead, act fast, otherwise the views and comments will double later, which is not good for Wisdom Fruit, and it is not good for us."

   Yang Bin waved his hand, dismissed his subordinates, and started today's work, apparently not taking this trivial matter too seriously.
