Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a few years, when others heard Xiao Qi's words, they knew what he was talking about.

    The Chinese version of this kind of thing can be called MiLiao or WeChat.

    English versions also include WhatsApp, Line, and iMessage.

    The term ¡°WeChat¡± appears most frequently in our lives, which represents the five similar voice communication software mentioned above.

    According to Xiao Qi¡¯s understanding, the originator of these five voice communication software should be WhatsApp, which was created by Jane?  Founded by Koum in 2009.

    Then, Xiaomi Technology, which later learned and copied Qiao Gangzhu, launched the Chinese version of MiLiao in December 2010.

    ?The shameless Penguin then launched WeChat with almost the same functions at the end of January 2011.

    Don¡¯t feel angry and immediately accuse ¡°Chinese people only plagiarize and copycat¡±.

    In fact, in 2011, Gangzhu Qiao also did something very unkind. The iMessage he launched was a plagiarism of WhatsApp. The main functions of the two are almost identical.

    As for the sudden rise of Line, it was also launched in the Japanese market by a Korean company. It is also a copy of WhatsApp, but it is more subtle and more innovative than the previous ones. It can be regarded as the one with the lowest level of copycat.

    Of course, the above facts are only about the past life.

    In this life, it is still only 2007. Mr. Koum has not resigned from Yahoo, so this voice communication software has not appeared. In other words, Xiao Qi has become the person who created it.

    Huangfucai is a very smart person, and Xiao Qi's words are easy to understand. She only thought about it for a few minutes before she understood it.

    ¡°This is just like playing DreamPad online games, it requires network connectivity at all times.¡±

    "right!"

    "If the network is always connected, in addition to text messages and voice calls, can I send photos and videos like I do on Weibo?"

    "Snapped!"

    "Ah~~"

    Xiao Qi was amazed by the sharp thinking of classmate Fairy.

    But there was no "case" to shoot at this time, so the young man slapped the beautiful girl's buttocks as smooth as silk, causing her to squeal.

    Xiao Qi deliberately simplified the functions of this voice communication software. In fact, Huangfucai could immediately draw inferences about the four major functions of WeChat: text messages, voice, upload and share videos and photos, and shake to find nearby friends.  The video and photo functions are already very talented.

    As for the last one, "Shake to find nearby friends", it has some functions that are not very advanced, which is not surprising.

    "Xiao Cai'er, now that you understand the meaning, do you think this can be done?" Xiao Qi asked her instead.

    "Of course we have to do it~~" Huangfucai said, leaning towards Fenzhen, "But this can only be considered an APP, right? If it's just software, can it be successful?"

    "I'm going to criticize you!" Xiao Qi coughed lightly and said righteously: "Isn't Microsoft just making WINDOWS software? They can be the number one in the world, why can't my little fairy's software be the best?  To be No. 1 in the world? Look at the game we made, "Exploding Birds."

    "But the biggest significance of the Internet is that sharing is free. On the one hand, you do not charge people for calls and text messages, but only use the mobile traffic of the 3G network; but on the other hand, you charge for the software itself, then users will be willing to bear the cost  "Huangfucai asked the question again.

    My wife is indeed amazing!

    Xiao Qi unconsciously admired his fairy wife again.

    The contradiction she mentioned is the biggest contradiction between voice communication software in the future.

    WhatsApp is an example of resolute charging. In addition to the initial free trial period, WhatsApp charges each customer a total of 0.99-1.99 US dollars for three years. The usage fees of this group of users have supported the operation and profitability of WhatsApp and have become  In addition to being the most popular product of its kind in the world, it also has a valuation of over US$3 billion.

    Line is also shy about learning to charge, but instead of using the APP client to charge, it uses various one-time use emoticons in the store to charge. It can also charge for selling virtual goods in a common game mall, but Line  The software itself is free of charge.

    The other three, MiLiao, WeChat and iMessage, are completely free, but their fates are different.

    MiLiao is earlier than WeChat and iMessage, but because it does notThere is no certain software carrier, so in the end it was in vain to watch WeChat seize 70% of the instant voice communication market.

    iMessage is very popular abroad, spread by IPHONE users, and even poses a threat to WhatsApp. However, in China, it does not have as strong assimilation rate as Q.Q, so its share is still very low, but it is better than Mi Chat.

    In the past life, because WhatsApp did not do a good job in distinguishing patents, these software took advantage.

    Xiao Qi can't be such an idiot. He has done patent work on voice communication software early. Thirty-eight patents, large and small, ranging from creative patents to technical patents, have been registered in all places around the world that can be registered. It is estimated that by the time  The preliminary results of the first round of review will be available next year.

    Even patents for free communication calls, including the specialized voice phone SKYPE, have long fallen into Xiao Qi¡¯s clutches.

    He didn't know if this method could stop Penguin's copycats, but having another weapon to defend himself would always give him more confidence in victory - again, thanks to Penguin being listed in Hong Kong, which provides patent protection.  It is very strict. As long as Xiao Qi handles this matter seriously, Penguin will not be able to escape punishment.

    Huangfu Cai must be considering the Chinese market.

    There is no doubt that if WhatsApp and WeChat fight in China, WeChat will definitely win.

    Because Chinese people are so accustomed to using free software, this deep-rooted habit has only changed a little in the past ten years.

    The software is good, but if no one uses it because of the fee, it is undoubtedly a very painful thing.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
