Chapter 1369 The Profitable Way of Wechat
The emoticon store is just the first step in paid membership services, and there are many more to come.
For example, the storage space for videos and images in personal and circle of friends is not very large. Personal is like 5G, and circle of friends is about 50G, and you need to pay to expand it. If you want to maintain more videos and images, then
You have to pay money to buy it from the WeChat company.
After the launch of smartphones such as the IPHONE, everyone realized how much girls like to take selfies.
If they are used to using WeChat, they will take selfies all day long and upload photos and videos to the WeChat space.
Although 5G can already accommodate 10 120-minute movies, it is enough for ordinary people, but for them, it is far from enough.
In this world, making money from a man is definitely not as easy as making money from a woman.
And girls have a great advantage, that is, if they have no money, as long as they act coquettishly, there will be countless men vying to give them money.
The so-called "take advantage of" is used to describe these men who are rushing to pay.
For Xiao Qi's DreamPad, 8 out of 10 users who buy more than 5 units are girls, and 100 out of 100 pink limited editions fall into the hands of girls and women - no matter who donates to charity.
Whether it’s their father, husband, boyfriend or son, they are the final beneficiaries anyway.
The same goes for the circle of friends. It can also accommodate 100 120-minute movies. But if there are 20, 30 or even 50 people in the circle of friends, then this capacity is a bit small.
It is impossible for the person who founded this circle of friends to say, I'm sorry, because I can't afford to expand the space, so please don't upload videos and images... As long as you are a normal person, I'm afraid you won't say that, right?
It is impossible for this person to say, friends, many of the videos and images you uploaded before are expired and tired of watching them. In order to save space and save my money, how about I delete them?... Same thing
, as long as you are a normal person, you will not say that.
A person like Ah Q has to shout "My son is beating me!" when he is being beaten. Such self-comfort is a matter of face, let alone today's urban white-collar workers.
Therefore, in the future, the storage capacity of the circle of friends will definitely only expand, and the money will cost more and more, and it will even become a big burden.
If the person who created the circle of friends is a wise person, then he (she) will definitely tell his friends honestly, either to ask them to delete unnecessary videos and images, or to ask everyone to pay a small fee.
common maintenance.
Although this will be embarrassing, it is much better than pretending to be fat.
But the problem is, the vast majority of people in this world are those who are trying to make themselves look fat, and those who are not afraid of being embarrassed are probably not even 1.
When Xiao Qi and Huangfu Cai were discussing this topic, they once laughed and said that these people would definitely suffer to save face.
Classmate Fairy took Xiao Qi's words to heart, and then when formulating the storage space plan, she specifically changed Xiao Qi's personal 3G and friend circle 30G into personal 5G and friend circle 50G.
Huangfucai also wrote these reminders into the storage space: "Please do your best and do not expand the storage space without limit" and "Delete redundant and expired videos in a timely manner to save space"...
On the mobile subtitles below.
But in Xiao Qi's opinion, except for the effect of increasing free storage capacity, the rest of the reminders cannot stop people from being extravagant and wasteful.
In other words, 90% of users will not restrain themselves because of Huangfucai’s reminder. They will waste what they should. Most people still don’t know how to cherish money that is not their own.
Speaking of extravagance and waste, don’t think that it is a Chinese patent.
Take the United States for example. Their waste of paper and wood is definitely far greater than that of the Chinese. However, because they do a good job in commercial fast-growing forests, they import large amounts of wood, and they also pay excessive amounts of U.S. dollars to pay debts.
Debt consumption is the only way to maintain it.
If the Chinese were to use paper and wood in their extravagant and wasteful way, they would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Let’s take the Japanese, who are the most thrifty people in the world. Almost everyone in them takes a shower and washes their hair every day. Is this waste of fresh water resources greater than that in mainland China?
Don't say that you will be healthy if you wash every day, and you will be sloppy if you don't wash.
Doctors and researchers have said that it is not good to bathe and wash your hair every day. As you get older, gout, rheumatism, eczema and other diseases will haunt you.
In summary, do you know now?
Extravagance and waste are a subconscious habit of everyone. This habit will be reflected in life, especially on the Internet. People who should be extravagant and wasteful will never stop just because they are on the Internet.
Of course, what I mentioned above is just a small amount of money earned, and it cannot account for the majority of the WeChat company's profits.
In the past, China's WeChat development and profit methods were certainly very utilitarian, but they were definitely very successful in commercialization.
Xiao Qi and Huangfu Cai had already discussed this.
First of all, WeChat is only free for individual users. If a company wants to apply for a WeChat public account, it must go through strict verification and then pay a certain annual fee before it can use the WeChat platform.
make an announcement.
And the more storage space, data processing services, etc. this company applies for, the more it will charge.
Then, and the biggest source of profit growth, is to open a mobile payment service and use the WeChat account as a Zilibao account, that is, use it as a savings card or credit card, and use it only in a bank.
Rights, too, will reap the profits that only a credit card company and bank can have.
For example, the handling fees generated by mobile payment services are not a question of tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Which bank has 1 billion users? So it is at least tens of billions, or even tens of billions of RMB in handling fee income every year!
Another point, think about it, hundreds of billions and trillions of funds are transferred from banks to WeChat accounts, and then spent from WeChat accounts. WeChat is responsible for storing the money in third-party custody.
How big of a large deposit will the company receive? And WeChat companies don’t have to pay any interest!
At the same time, even if the money has to be supervised by various countries, it can still be legitimately used through the savings fund function of Fairy Bank... Well, that is, funds such as Yuwobao and Tenpay can also be used to make money.
All in all, WeChat’s profit prospects are extremely broad!
