Broken Bowl asks for a monthly subscription.

………………

Later, Fang Nian and Lu Weiyu went to Baiyun Airport together.

Caught the four o'clock flight back to Shanghai.

In addition to Shen Niel, there are several other familiar investors in Shanghai, including Lei Jun.

In the past ten days, a lot has happened in the public information system.

In addition to exciting news such as Frontier's announcement through the media that it will hold the first Scientific Developers Conference, the mobile game industry has been blown up.

One of the most important news is:

At 2 p.m. on April 30, Qingchao announced that the number of Qingchao users exceeded 60 million.

Once the news was sent out, it immediately detonated the entire domestic public cyberspace.

It has even spread to the overseas Internet.

For a time, a large number of analysis posts appeared in forums, post bars, and Zhihu, which was gradually becoming popular.

Well... at the end of last year, Zhihu launched its website, adopted an invitation-only registration method, and invited 200 seed users.

Among them, we also invited the ‘Holding Key Huaxian Kaitian’ who is more active on the Weibo platform, has a large number of fans, and frequently asks questions.

Student Fang Nian doesn’t log in to his account often, so of course he doesn’t know about it.

It means rejection by default.

However, I chose to join again in early April.

because……

In mid-to-late March, Zhihu received angel round investment from Frontier Angel.

Frontier Angels invested a total of US$900,000.

It's not a big business. If someone hadn't introduced it, Fang Nian wouldn't have paid attention to Zhihu at all, let alone participated in Zhihu's angel round investment.

At that time, it was Guyu who replaced Fang Nian.

It just so happens that we will be in Beijing at that time...

Qingchao announced that its total number of users exceeds 60 million.

Some questions immediately popped up on Zhihu.

Among them, the most frequently asked questions are in the Bihu format most commonly used on the Weibo platform.

Even the officially recommended question format is: How do you view XXX?

End with a question mark.

One thing to say, if I were to be stricter, I would almost owe the "holding key" classmate a copyright licensing fee.

Regarding light chatting, the most popular questions on the internet are of course:

'How do you view the number of users of Qingchao software at over 60 million? Does Qingchao have the potential to become the leader in mobile instant messaging software?'

Although it is an invitation-only beta test, there are still a lot of answers.

"Thank you for the invitation. There is news that Qingchao became independent from Xiaomi Technology at the beginning of this year. Judging from the current data, Qingchao's independence has played a very good role."

"..."

"On April Fool's Day, Qingchao suddenly updated its version. After launching the sharing function, I predicted that the number of users of Qingchao would skyrocket. This is indeed the case. For how to view it, please refer to my previous answer."

"..."

"Thank you for the invitation. In my personal opinion, Qingxiao should have the potential to become a leader, but I think it would be more appropriate to invite a key holder to answer this question."

"..."

Of course Fang Nian knew all this information. He had read it yesterday afternoon, but Fang Nian ignored the invitations and answered them.

Besides, Qingchao wants to announce the number of users, so Lei Jun will naturally communicate with Fang Nian.

In fact, the number of Qingchat users is about to reach 70 million, but if it doesn’t reach this number, it’s hard to lie.

Throughout April, the growth rate of Qingchat users was obvious.

In addition to the millions of users added within an hour after the sharing was launched on April Fool's Day, the average number of users increased by about 550,000 per day in April...

Anyway...

This heavy news of light chatting will obviously produce different results in the eyes of different people.

What some people see is the relationship ecology of light chatting.

Some people see how mobile social networking has greatly stimulated the mobile game industry.

because……

The second important news is:

Yesterday at two o'clock in the afternoon, Dangkang mobile game platform launched a classic mobile game based on social networking:

Parkour master.

Official news states that it only supports some large-screen smartphones. The recommended models are: Xiaomi 1, iPhone 4, Meizu M9, HTC Desire S, Samsung Galaxy 2, etc.

In just two hours after its launch, "Parkour Master" was downloaded more than 1 million copies.

Originally, it would be difficult for this news to generate more discussion in public cyberspace than Qingchat, which has more than 60 million users.

but……

The truth is so magical.

then……

Today, at 10 o'clock in the morning on May Day, Qingchao released a small version update, and there was a new content in the 'More' option:

game.

Seamlessly open a new embedded page in the form of an external link, linking to the lightweight casual game area of ​​the Dangkang mobile game platform.

Qingchao has specially divided two categories on the game page.

They are:

Mobile games, mini games.

The display of mobile games is gray, click on it to stay tuned.

When you click on the mini-games, you can see hundreds of games.

Very lightweight and casual.

In fact, the games that can be played can basically be divided into categories such as Lianliankan and Tetris.

Although Doudizhu is classified into the mini-game category, it is not open yet and is still in the debugging stage.

but!

Even so, it still triggered heated discussions among netizens.

In the past, everyone only knew that you could play web games on computer web pages, steal food in QQ space, and so on.

But this time, Qingchao and Dangkang Games completely refreshed netizens’ perceptions.

Not only can you play games on your mobile phone, but now you don’t even need to download them, so you can click and play anytime, anywhere.

this……

Who can withstand it.

Even Shen Niel, who clearly knew that Fang Nian might use some means to interfere in the mobile game industry and create a spotlight in advance, couldn't resist it.

Therefore, Neil Shen chose to work on May Day, and took a flight all the way from the capital to Shanghai;

And contacted Fang Nian...

…………

On the plane, Lu Weiyu and Fang Nian also talked about the series of important things that happened in the past two days.

After a few brief words, Lu Weiyu asked curiously: "The strategic integration of Qingchao and Dangkang has completed the first step, right?"

Fang Nian answered with a smile: "Strictly speaking, not really, the first step is a long-term process, but the gimmicks are all completed;

Qingchat is integrated with games, so it is not only mobile games, but also client games and even web games;

Just talking about mobile games, now is just the beginning. After all, even mobile games need artificial promotion to form an industry outlet;

In fact, the integration with client games and web games is not strictly a strategic integration between the two parties, but a large-scale tripartite support;

That is: Let Qingchao fully open third-party interconnection, which can be used by various Internet platforms to call account information, but..."

Speaking of this, Fang Young smiled softly: "I forgot to tell Lei Jun the last time I was in the capital."

"..."

Lu Weiyu smiled softly: "Yeah."

"It doesn't matter whether we talk or not, the strategic matters are completed anyway." Fang Nian said nonchalantly.

Lu Weiyu agreed with this point, and then said: "Throughout April, the popularity of mobile games on the Internet has been high. After Qingchao launched the game center, it should have almost reached the mainstream, right?"

"It's not my business." Fang Nian laughed, "At this stage, it basically has nothing to do with me. After all, the trend has been formed;

Now all categories from large-scale mobile games to popular mobile games to small games are covered, and what follows is a process of small fish emerging and being eaten by big fish.”

Lu Weiyu smacked her lips: "Actually, I still don't quite understand how impact funds or capital can make profits in this process?"

"After all, almost all mobile games now do not have a good consumption system. It is not impossible to recharge through a computer webpage, but it will obviously dissuade many game users. Anyway, mobile games are just for fun."

Facing Lu Weiyu's curious gaze, Fang Nian thought for a while before answering.
