Experience Officer’s Recommendation

Experience Officer’s Recommendation

With WeChat gaining a foothold in the domestic market and opening up a huge gap with Penguin's QChat, Zhou Buqi is full of confidence in Ziweixing's domestic business.

It was accumulated in the PC Internet era and exploded in the mobile Internet era.

This is already an inevitable trend.

Therefore, Zhou Buqi basically decentralizes Ziweixing's domestic business to an extreme extent. Regardless of whether he is in the company or not, all business-level matters will not be reported to him.

Unless the disagreement is serious and the people below are quarreling, they will come to him.

In contrast, Zhou Buqi is more concerned about Ziweixing’s overseas business.

Competitors in overseas markets are too strong. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, etc., none of them are easy to compete with technology giants.

Even though Helo and Ucgram are already one of the two most popular social application products in overseas markets, their future prospects are unclear, and their insurance coefficients are far inferior to the three major businesses of cloud computing, artificial intelligence and investment.

Therefore, Zhou Buqi is more familiar with apps in overseas markets and will often read the materials when he has time.

For example, he can casually name the top 10 downloaded free apps in overseas markets, which are Helo, Facebook, Angry Birds Free Edition, Crossword Puzzle, Ucgram, Skype, Netflix, and Angry Birds Rio.

Free version, Fruit Ninja, Twitter.

In fact, the overall situation is similar to the top 10 in China.

It mainly focuses on social products and has several free games.

The difference is that the overseas market is dominated by "Angry Birds", which almost dominates the list. It occupies two seats in the top 10 of the free list, and it is even more exaggerated in the paid list, occupying three seats, respectively ranking No.

"Angry Birds" ranked first, "Angry Birds Seasonal Edition" ranked third and "Angry Birds Rio" ranked sixth.

In the first three quarters of this year, the total number of downloads of the paid version alone reached 180 million times, and the cost per time was US$0.99.

The fact that Ziweixing International's game division can sell such a high price is inseparable from the "Angry Birds" status as the "big brother" in the mobile game market.

However, the domestic market is different.

"Angry Birds" is also very popular, but it ranks more highly on the iPad. The most popular mobile game on smartphones is "Talking Cat".

"Talking Cat" is also very popular in overseas markets. It is in the top 10 in the game list and the top 30 in the overall list, but it is still incomparable with the popularity in China.

And this game has nothing to do with Changyou.

Zhou Buqi immediately became excited.

This game should be won!

It’s not just that this game can make money, because with the development of the times, super IPs like “Talking Cat” have multiple attributes for diversified development and are extremely vital.

Another more important point is some ideas on gameplay.

The future is the era of artificial intelligence.

In the early days of AI, it was actually a simple conversation between AI and humans. If a large AI model is added behind the "talking cat family" so that pets can interact with users more intelligently, it will have the potential to be a super hit.

Zhou Buqi has now officially taken over Changyou.

Next, he would do something drastic.

These little secretaries unanimously provided a game like "Talking Cat", which is considered to have successfully completed the task of "product experience officer".

very nice!

However, this is not over yet.

Zhuo Wensi, a senior intern at Beijing Normal University with a cute round head and small tiger teeth, provided a new and unique material, which is a list of 20 apps that are not ranked high but are very interesting.

No matter how well these 20 arrangements were selected, Zhou Buqi felt that she deserved praise just for this idea.

Take another look at the content... Wow!

It’s really available!

These 20 apps are Symbian Netdisk, ProcessManager, Yiyangzhi, iReader, Tinder Address Book, Amy Video Chat, Momo, Amap Navigation, Cartoon Desktop, Volcano Weather, Telephone, Give, and Tiantian

Dongting, R66+ map pack, Jinxiaofeng, Autostarts, mobile phone cutout, etc.

Zhou Buqi took a look and found that it really had some background!

Most apps actually have obvious characteristics of the times, such as Tinder address book, volcano weather, call notification, startup item management software Autostarts, task manager ProcessManager and other products, all of which are not fully functional on smartphones.

It was okay in the early days.

After a few years, there will be no room for survival.

There are also some apps that are so niche that they have not developed at all and have quickly gone silent.

Starting a business is not easy.

Even if you make a very good product and get a certain amount of praise and attention in the market, it may soon die in the big wave.

However, there were two products that left a deep impression on Zhou Buqi.

One is AutoNavi and the other is Momo.

They are all famous!

"Yes, yes, this material is very good. Thank you for your hard work, Wensi!" Zhou Buqi took the two A4 papers from Zhuo Wensi and was full of praise.

Zhuo Wensi smiled like a flower, "Did I do the right thing?"

Zhou Buqi praised: "Yes, very good. Well, is AutoNavi Navigation the most popular navigation application on mobile phones now?"

Zhuo Wensi said briskly: "No, it should be Kaili De Navigation."

Zhou Buqi looked at the slightly disappointed girls next to him. They all agreed with this statement, saying that the two most popular navigation products in China are Kaili De and Amap.

"What about us?" Zhou Buqi then asked, "Does our company have one?"

"this……"

Zhuo Wensi and his sisters looked at each other for a few times, then looked a little bit confused.

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "No?"

Mai Feixue plucked up the courage and said proactively: "It doesn't seem to be the case, um... no! It shouldn't be! I checked it specifically!"

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "Don't we have a micro-dot map?"

Mai Feixue said weakly: "A map is a map, and a navigation is a navigation, right?"

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment.

It may be that the performance of current smartphones is too poor and the functions cannot be integrated too much; it may also be that the navigation function is too complicated, not at the technical level, but because the road conditions need to be inspected on the spot and constantly updated. This is a very huge offline project.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Buqi asked: "Is there an app for Microdot Map?"

"have."

The girls spoke in unison, their clear voices very pleasant to the ear.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "But the micro-dot map does not have a navigation function, right?"

"right."

The girls laughed happily and spoke in unison.

Zhou Buqi raised his head, looked at Ning Lu sitting on the sofa, and ordered: "Go and ask to see if we have a team working on navigation products. If they are doing it themselves, forget it; if they are not doing it,

, why not just acquire AutoNavi. Navigation should be a must-have feature for smartphones.”

Zhuo Wensi was particularly excited, and his eyes were like two clear springs.

I didn’t expect that my advice actually worked.

There is a huge sense of accomplishment.

Unexpectedly, there would be something more powerful later. Zhou Buqi pointed to a name on the document with a smile, "What's going on with Momo? Do you like to use it?"

Zhuo Wensi's face suddenly turned red.

Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing and said jokingly: "Why are you blushing?"

Zhuo Wensi looked dizzy and said, "I just tried it."

After all, she is still a young lady, so she is a little embarrassed.

At this stage, Momo has not been online for long.

Such a chat product competes with top products such as WeChat, QChat, and Fetion, and then grabs the position as soon as it comes out. Why?

Because the operation behind the product was already well underway before the product was launched, a large number of young girls such as hair salon girls, nightclub dancers, and bartenders were already organized.

A beautiful girl is your greatest asset.

After the product was launched, male users discovered that there were so many beautiful girls who were willing to chat and be able to date them, so they spread the word and quickly opened up the market.

There is a well-known "School Beauty Selection" section on the school network, which has a similar function.

Mai Feixue was no longer a girl, so she became bolder. She said very positively: "I have also used Momo. It seems that it was launched only last month. It is very powerful."
