Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1844 Alternatives

The domestic Internet industry has a big drawback, which is the excessive collection and random abuse of user data.It’s fine if it’s for your own use, and a gray industrial chain has even been born for large-scale data trafficking.

This is even more true in the era of mobile Internet.

When Guo Pengfei talked about this routine, it seems quite fresh now, and it will become very common in a few years, especially during the period from 2012 to 2015 when this tool-type app was flooding, and it simply slaughtered users like fish and meat at will.

Because there is a bigger gray industry behind this-gray App.

That's what Fu Sheng wanted to do when he went to the United States to start a business.

Zhou Buqi had communicated with him before, so he felt deeply.

For example, registering an app with a mobile phone number often requires the server to send a text message to the mobile phone for a verification code.No matter how much data the platform has, it can't grasp the user's verification code, right?

In a similar way, it seems that user privacy can be effectively protected.

This is too small to underestimate the technical means of this gray industry. They can even delete photos and videos in the user's mobile phone album at will. Isn't it easy to check a text message verification code?

Of course, what Fu Sheng did was a non-governmental method, and he lacked confidence, so he needed enough concealment.

As Guo Pengfei said, use the phone numbers of some smartphone users in Ziweixing's database to pre-register for Q-mail, so that when these users want to register for Q-mail, they cannot register or log in.

So, how to cross the verification code?
In fact, it is invasion and theft.

For example, Ziweixing has Weidian Mobile Assistant and 91 Mobile Assistant.

The Weidian brand cannot be compromised, so the Weidian mobile assistant must be formal in product design. The 91 mobile assistant is unnecessary, but it can also come up with more tricks.

In the middle of the night, you can cooperate with the 91 mobile phone assistant to register Q letters in large quantities.After the verification code is sent to the user's mobile phone, the verification code is obtained through the background of 91 Mobile Assistant.After obtaining the verification code, in order not to be discovered, the text message must be deleted.When the user gets the phone the next day, it's as if nothing happened.

This matter seems troublesome at first glance, but in fact, it only needs to develop a very simple small program, and it can be completed automatically with one click.

He Yang said: "Be careful."

Zhou Buqi remained silent.

This kind of suggestion has happened many times in the past, but he refused to adopt it at all, and unauthorized use of user data is not allowed.But this time is different. The success or failure of the "WeChat" product is very important to Ziwei Star's industry status in the mobile Internet era.

Zhang Yiming said: "This set of methods is hidden in the dark, and it is difficult to be discovered. As long as the news is not revealed, no one will know that Ziweixing is doing this, and the internal employees will not know. In this way Once this happens, it will not damage Ziweixing's brand and the company's stalwart image in the hearts of employees."

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath, "Observe for a while and use it as an alternative plan. To disturb the hearts of Q Xin's team by poaching people and headhunting, this is the principle of reciprocity and can be used now. This plan cannot be rushed. Go ahead, wait a few months and see if things don't go well."

"Then it will be limited to three months. In April, we will re-evaluate the market competition pattern of WeChat and Q letter."

Zhang Yiming is not as conservative as He Yang. On the one hand, he wants to maintain Ziweixing's internal civilization construction for the sake of long-term planning; on the other hand, he must not ignore the present, and must provide maximum release and support for the development of core products.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, but if you really want to adopt this alternative plan, we need to meet together and make a collective decision, and don't act privately."

Zhang Yiming said: "This year, the number of smartphones in China will reach 1 million units. Products such as WeChat and Q-mail will have a strong winner-take-all attribute because of the logic of viral marketing behind them. If we gain a firm foothold this year and firmly become the number one in the industry, then this market will be basically occupied. This year is very important, and this year can determine life and death.”

Zhou Buqi said: "For products with special circumstances, sometimes it is inevitable to use some special methods."

Meng Houkun exclaimed: "That's right! That's how it should be done!"

He Yang didn't object either, he just said that he should not take unconventional actions unless it was absolutely necessary.But once the Q letter is really unstoppable, then for the development of WeChat and the future of Ziwei Star, many things have to be done.

Everyone's thinking has basically reached a consensus.

It is to make WeChat work at all costs!
Meng Houkun was very happy, "What else? What is Article 3?"

Guo Pengfei said: "The second article of user information squatting is a competition hidden in the dark. This article 2 is about to be placed in the open, and it is a real fight with real knives and guns."

"Oh?"

"We need to use our own UC browser, Weidian mobile assistant, 91 mobile assistant, Meitu Xiuxiu, Weidian music, Weidian input method, Xiaonei, Weibo and other smart phone App products, to Q letter Forcible technical interference!"

"I go!"

Meng Houkun was also taken aback.

The first few items are easy to say, although the moves are also very bad, but at least they sink under the water.Although the behavior of using user data to preemptively register Q-mail is bad, it can at least be hidden and will not be discovered.

This kind of technical shielding and technical interference is different. This is a vicious competition on the bright side. Not only all employees of Ziweixing will know that the company is playing a shady way, but the entire industry will know it. Departmental penalties.

Zhou Buqi was very firm this time, "Okay, this is another alternative! If it really doesn't work, just do it like this! Even if you get punished, it's no big deal! Microsoft's IE competed with Netscape back then, and what they sacrificed was Monopoly stick, lost the lawsuit, won the product, and 95% of the browsers on the market are IE, which is also a huge success.”

Guo Pengfei was very excited, "Then do this?"

"Dry!"

Zhou Buqi has the spirit of breaking the boat.

Guo Pengfei concluded: "There are two alternatives. First, covert information squatting; second, open technical interference. We must kill Q Xin at all costs!"

"Okay! Do it!"

In fact, Zhou Buqi has a third alternative.

That is the Asda mobile phone.

In the current smartphone market, there are no low-end phones, and the cheapest is the mid-range phone from "China Cool Alliance", which costs more than 3000 yuan.

Xiaomi mobile phone has not been launched yet.

Even if the Xiaomi mobile phone is launched, it is of little significance. It is impossible for a new company to have a large production capacity and cannot meet the needs of the market.

If it doesn't work, it can only be Esta!

Astar will launch a batch of low-end phones with a price of 1000-1500 yuan. As long as the quantity is sufficient, it can sweep the market and grab the market share of "China Cool Union" in one fell swoop.

In this way, Ziwei Star has the power to control terminal products, and can rely on this series of low-end mobile phones to completely block Q letters.

On these mobile phones, only WeChat can be used, Q letter cannot be used.

This is to completely destroy Q letter from the source.

Back then, MSN did not beat QQ.In fact, there is a complete chance, as long as Microsoft's operating system completely blocks QQ, it can solve competitors from the source.It's just that Microsoft didn't pay enough attention to MSN at that time. It didn't think it was a strategic product, and it didn't want to suffer monopoly lawsuits like the Netscape browser back then.

Zhou Buqi attaches great importance to WeChat.

In a word, at all costs.

Even if he was punished and fined billions of dollars, he would not hesitate!

Three alternatives have been identified.

Next, let's do it!
Only to succeed, not to fail!
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit serious, Zhang Yiming smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to be nervous. The alternatives are all accidental situations, and they will only be used with a very small probability. In '4+3', we have 99.9% There is a high probability that the battle can be resolved in the first 4 items, and we can lead WeChat to dominate the rivers and lakes.”

He Yang said very seriously: "If you can use the alternative plan, try not to use it. This is a way of injuring the enemy by one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred. The loss is too great."
