My Age of Investment

  Chapter 950 Instant Communication

  Kristina handed the baby to the baby nurse next to her, and followed Xia Jingxing to the garden outside the house.

  Canna, sweet-scented osmanthus, jasmine, chrysanthemum, oleander, desert rose...The garden is full of flowers blooming, colorful and fragrant.

  Xia Jingxing looked around and smiled: "The garden is well taken care of. No wonder my mother praised you as a craftsman and never starved to death in famine."

   "What craftsman?"

  Kristina walked to a chair, sat down, and looked at Xia Jingxing with a puzzled expression.

   Sit down next to Christina, Xia Jingxing smiled openly and said, "Naturally you are farming! My mother said that if you were born in China a few decades earlier, you would definitely be an expert at earning work points."

  "What are work points?" Kristina felt that Chinese culture is too complicated. Even though she has been learning Chinese for five years, Xia Jingxing's words popped up from time to time, which still made her confused.

  Xia Jingxing briefly explained the work points to Christina, and she was surprised when she heard it, as if she had discovered something incredible.

   "Okay, let's not talk about this!"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, and then talked about another thing, “Android will launch an app store next year and recruit a large number of developers to develop mobile apps on the Android platform.”

Kristina held her elbow on her head, tilted her head to look at Xia Jingxing, and blinked her beautiful eyes at him. A pair of big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, "Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are not all agreed with Android Is there any cooperation? Fuxing FX2 will be equipped with these three social applications when it leaves the factory."

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, “I know, I’m just reminding you that once various software applications are spread out on smartphones, visits from the PC will continue to decrease until they are all migrated to mobile devices.”

   Christina, who was originally lazy, sat upright and opened her red lips slightly and said, “You mean that people will use Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter on their phones in the future.”

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "This is the trend!"

  "I know this is a trend. Facebook launched the WAP terminal two years ago for users to access Facebook with mobile devices. This part of mobile users currently only accounts for 1% of the total users."

Christina sternly said: "I judge that it will take at least three to five years for this wave of mobile Internet to completely cover Internet users. Network infrastructure needs to be upgraded, application ecology needs to be reconstructed, and new smartphones are released. The volume needs to replace the current feature phones and older smartphones."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "You have a clear understanding of the mobile Internet."

  Kristina smiled slightly, "Because I have been following Android and Fuxing mobile phones."

   "Okay, then I won't say more. I believe that Facebook and Twitter, under your leadership, can smoothly complete the mobile Internet transformation. On the YouTube side, take the time to communicate with Luo Li."

  Kristina nodded slightly. Although YouTube is not under the jurisdiction of Facebook in name, the actual controller is still the original shareholders of Facebook, especially her shareholder who holds the most voting rights.

  On weekdays, Facebook will also cooperate closely with YouTube. The two companies are essentially the same platform, and the cutting is not thorough enough.

   "What I want to talk about today is the map, the browser, and the mailbox."

  Kristina was a little surprised, "You said let Facebook enter these areas?"

"no."

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "It's Android, and Android will launch its own browser and mailbox next."

  Kristina had a suddenly realized expression, "It turned out to be here. Everyone is curious why Android is open source? How will it be profitable in the future?"

   After finishing speaking, Christina noticed that Xia Jingxing did not mention the map, and then asked: "Where is the map?"

   "The map made by Facebook will be the basic mobile service of Android and will be carried on all Android phones."

  "Shall we make a map?"

  Kristina thought for a while and understood why, and asked: "Are you worried that the map business is too sensitive? Android is not appropriate to do it?"

   "Ninety percent of Android's shares are in the hands of Envision Capital. Some of them will definitely be sold in the future, but I can't sell them now, so I can only hold them first."

  Kristina nodded slightly. As a pillow, she is very aware of her boyfriend’s capital shift in recent years, and she can understand all the key points without much explanation.

   "Is Facebook suitable for mapping? Is it deviating from the main business of social networking?"

  Xia Jingxing did not answer, and asked, “How is the operation of Navteq after joining the open Facebook platform?”

  "It’s not great, who would be okay to look for the map? Normal users only want to check the map and see the route when they are about to travel."

  Kristina spread her hands, "But this is also unnecessary. If you drive, you will have a car map."

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, "This is the disadvantage of PC Internet. If it is a mobile phone map, it is very convenient. You can always take out your mobile phone from your trouser pocket to check the route and the mode of transportation."

   "This is true! If the mobile Internet becomes popular, people's lives will be much easier."

  Kristina sighed with emotion, and asked: "But does this have anything to do with Facebook?"

  "LocationBased Services, LBS for short."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: “Facebook can launch such a new feature for location social networking.”

  Kristina quickly understood that after adding such a small feature to Facebook, it can set off a series of activities such as dating in the same city, making friends offline, and so on.

  Xia Jingxing continued: “For location-based social networking to achieve more long-term development, it must be more convenient on mobile devices.

  But it can also be played on the PC, but the development will not be too fast at the beginning, but it can be laid out in advance.

  As a social platform with hundreds of millions of users, Facebook will develop into a super-large network platform covering more than 200 countries and billions of users in the world. It needs to provide users with just-needed services besides social networking. "

  Kristina smiled and nodded, "I understand, then do it, anyway, we have money now."

   "Then Android is used as a browser and mailbox, not to offend Microsoft and Yahoo."

  Xia Jingxing didn’t care: “It was originally a temporary cooperation. The phone call was made by Gates. He still wants to buy Android.”

   "As the company grows larger, it will inevitably encounter this kind of problem."

  Kristina sighed, “Facebook plans to launch an instant messaging tool next, which should compete with MSN, YahooMessenger, and Yahoo Messenger.”

  "Instant messaging?" Xia Jingxing was a little surprised. He didn't instruct Christina to do this, but he thought about it, such a big piece of fat, and Facebook, which has hundreds of millions of users, makes no sense to give it to others.

  In response to Xia Jingxing’s gaze, Christina said: “This tool is temporarily named FacebookChat. It will integrate the existing messaging tools on the platform and become the only instant messaging tool on the Facebook platform.

  After the user logs in to the Facebook website, a “Chat” bar will appear at the bottom of the homepage. The user does not need to download any software, and can directly talk with friends in the conversation bar. The chat friend list and Facebook friend list will be synchronized. "

  After the introduction, Christina said quite proudly: “As soon as this tool is launched, the end of AOL, MSN, and Yahoo Messenger is coming.

  Relying on hundreds of millions of users and the social relationship chain precipitated by Facebook, replacing them is only a matter of time. "

   Stroking Christina's smooth and shiny hair, Xia Jingxing smiled and sighed, "You are so sinister!"

  Kristina smiled slyly, "Isn't this what you taught me? We must maximize the advantages of real-name social interaction."

   "Yes, you are right, what you said is right, and what you did is right!"

  Xia Jingxing sighed in her heart. Facebook’s move is considered to be one of Yahoo’s key points. Yahoo, which is already declining, may decline even faster than in previous lives.

  Yahoo Messenger is currently the No. 1 instant messaging tool in the US market share. More than 50 million people log in and use Yahoo Messenger every day in the world.

  However, Yahoo lacks a platform such as Facebook that precipitates the social relationship chain, and it is difficult to prevent the loss of users.

  The reason why Yahoo's decline in the past life is related to the double attack of Google and Facebook is inseparable.

  However, he can only silently mourn Yang Zhiyuan for three seconds in his heart. After all, Yahoo's development is not even better for him.

   "I think Hainei.com should also launch an even communication tool." Christina lying on Xia Jingxing's shoulder suddenly straightened up and said.

  Xia Jingxing's gaze said faintly: "Hainai.com faces a much worse competitive environment than Facebook.

  First of all, there is only one communication hegemon in the Chinese market, not three;

  Secondly, QQ space is also an SNS service that can compete with Hai intranet;

  Finally, Penguin is a social company. "

  While talking, Xia Jingxing herself started to have a headache. Penguin is not easy to deal with!

  However, the domestic game cut off the penguin, which is equivalent to breaking off the penguin's arm. Cash flow is also an important part of business competition, and you can't fight without money.

  Kristina nodded, "That's true! Who knew that China had such a freak as a penguin!"

Xia Jingxing chuckled, "They are actually not as powerful as they thought. The mobile Internet wave has arrived. Let them jump for a few more days. The time is not very mature. China still has a 2.5G network and smart phones have only sold less than one. Million."

  Kristina nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood something.
