Rebirth: I Have Nothing But Money!

Chapter 025: Wechat Closed Beta, Word Of Mouth Exploded! (Nine Updates)

The frequent and uninterrupted bombardment of soft articles began on September 18 and continued until the night of September 30.

At present, Honor's public relations department only has about a dozen people, and the working hours are as long as 14 hours a day.

Apart from eating and sleeping, I basically stay in the office writing soft articles, reviewing and revising them over and over again.

Su Can has classes at school and can only control from a distance and pass her suggestions to the brothers and sisters in the public relations department through Zhang Dalong.

The first three days were fine, but on the fourth day, the friends couldn't bear it anymore. They all felt uncomfortable here or there.

The principle of life that Su Can summed up from his previous life of entrepreneurship is that "money is the root of all evil and the most primitive driving force."

What a bonus!

What a salary!

It's all bullshit.

There's nothing more exciting than being paid directly.

So on the 4th day, Su Can directly asked the finance department to withdraw 1 million in cash, and gave out a cash reward of 1,000 yuan every day. At the same time, he solicited original copywriting everywhere.

The content must be sharp, easy to spread, ruthless enough, gentle enough, rich enough, and can be used as a penguin's personal signature when picked out alone.

Under Su Can's barbaric way of spreading money, the professional writers of the public relations team used high-quality soft articles to increase the number of daily active users of Penguin Mailbox in just ten days!

In this regard, Zhang Dalong only wanted to say two words: "NB!"

Starting from September 30, a "WeChat internal beta download link" will be added at the bottom of the special soft articles about Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Night.

The WeChat team immediately selected 25% of the email users and began the first internal test of WeChat.

Many users feel strange when they see the word "WeChat". The promotional slogan only has one sentence: "WeChat is a way of life."

This sentence was originally thought up by Zhang Dalong, but now all Zhang Dalong’s knowledge of Wechat comes from Su Can.

The real creator of this product is Su Can. Zhang Dalong is only the maker and perfecter of this product. Of course, it also contains a lot of his personal stuff.

Zhang Dalong is a person who does not like to socialize. To be precise, Zhang Dalong is a bit autistic and withdrawn.

Such people are actually the most suitable to make social software. Such people are more able to understand the nature of social networking:

"It's the exchange of value and information."

From a psychological perspective - the essence of social interaction is divided into two:

They are "empathy socialization" and "utilitarian socialization"

Although Penguin Mailbox still looks like a Tengfei series product, you can still enter the mailbox homepage through the Penguin page.

But in fact, the database and servers are all in the Honor Group. Ascendas can only roughly determine the daily activity of Penguin Mailbox through Penguin users' clicks to Penguin Mailbox.

So I don’t know…

How long have current users of Penguin Mailbox been using it?

After Su Can’s crazy popularity boost, many people began to open their dusty Penguin mailboxes and write an email to their first love or crush.

This kind of information transmission with long text content seems to have become an extremely ancient but ritualistic way of commemoration.

It is actually useless, but it will definitely be of great benefit to Su Can’s subsequent release of WeChat——

On September 30, WeChat opened the internal beta download link for the mobile APP version. The 25% of email users who qualified for internal testing achieved a download rate of 95% within 24 hours!

This is an extremely exaggerated download rate.

You must know that WeChat has done nothing... it's just a matter of writing some soft articles to enhance its presence for 10 consecutive days.

Ascendas did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Unlike the previous version of "WeChat" that had the prophet Su Can, the WeChat 1.0 version has almost reached a level of perfection after two months of improvement and development.

Wechat 1.0——

Support adding friends to the mobile address book and inviting friends to register as WeChat users.

You can add friends by scanning the QR code face-to-face, and you can also search and add friends through the unique "Customized Wechat Account".

On the premise of supporting text sending, voice intercom, voice call, video call, picture sending...

The entire UI, from the chat box, to avatars, information display, etc., everything is particularly special for users in 2010.

Wechat product department.

late at night.

Many features are not available during the internal testing phase.

Users can only fill in the WeChat account name, customize the WeChat account, and change some settings.

In the conference room.

A histogram of feedback from internal beta users is displayed on the LCD monitor.

Less than 60 minutes have passed since the download link was opened, and the download volume has reached a terrifying 100,000+!

The staff in the product department seemed to be on a roll. Within 60 minutes, the five-star praise rate of WeChat 1.0 was as high as 89%!

This is a very scary set of data, and as time goes by, the five-star reviews are still rising.

Su Can is also in the conference room tonight. This is the core product of Honor Company in the future, and he wants to witness this moment.

At this time, Tengfei Company did not seem to realize the seriousness of the problem!

They are still in a state of unawareness.

Time passes minute by minute.

The staff in the WeChat product department stayed up all night, staring at the praise bar chart on the LCD monitor!

soon!

It was noon the next day.

Everyone is still awake. At this time, the download volume of the internal beta version of WeChat 1.0 has reached 1 million!

The positive rating has climbed to 94%!

Zhang Dalong's excited eyes were bloodshot.

Two whole months.

He did it.

He led the team to develop an epoch-making product.

In this era when WIFI has not yet become completely popular, in this era when everyone is still using a 5 yuan 30M monthly package.

He, Zhang Xiaolong, led the team to create an instant messaging software called "WeChat".

Closed beta tonight!

There is no doubt that it was a success.

Terrifying downloads + explosive reputation.

There is no doubt that Ascendas' most powerful killer weapon - "Penguin Chat" is about to face unprecedented enemies.

this time.

To be precise, this life.

WeChat and Penguin are no longer Tengfei’s right-hand men.

It is no longer the foundation of Tengfei’s business empire. In Su Can’s words, if WeChat does not belong to Tengfei, it will definitely kill Tengfei!

Just like Tengfei stepped on the corpses of countless competitors to get the upper hand, the launch of WeChat in 2010 will also have a huge impact on Tengfei.
