Chapter 2176 Unparalleled Advantages

"So, this is the main reason why I called everyone here. First, we must have a full understanding of the characteristics of mobile Internet,"

"Second, we must start now and make relevant preparations for our future mobile terminals,"

"We must also understand that it is not just about developing a third-party application that runs on smartphones - although developing an excellent APP is not a simple task, and Zuckerberg and others should have already realized this. I think you will definitely not be satisfied with this application installed on Apple phones,"

"I think you will be even more dissatisfied in the future, because the mobile terminal is definitely not a simple transplant of our PC version, and it is as simple as copying all the functions,"

"For example, I have told Sandberg before that with the advancement of mobile communication technology and the improvement of Internet speed, many people will habitually check their Facebook status after a few minutes,"

"In the future, during such a long meeting as ours, some people may check it several times,"

Sandberg laughed, because that means Facebook's opportunity.

But some older people like Palmat and Drucker don't believe it. That's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"At the same time, because more sensors will be integrated into smart terminals such as mobile phones in the future, as long as they are used reasonably, they will realize many special functions that are not available on the PC side,"

"To give a simple example, in the future we will not only know the dynamics of our friends at any time, but also be able to easily know our timely location and the relative distance between you and him..."

"But on the other hand, due to the hardware limitations of smart terminals, such as small display screens, processor performance, memory, including battery life, etc., they are quite different from the PC side,"

"Because of these differences, simply copying the PC side will obviously not produce ideal results..."

"However, these are design issues, I think everyone will adapt quickly in the future, and there will be many more professional opinions than me,"

"What I want to say is that in the era of mobile Internet, it means that we will tilt and focus more resources on the mobile side,"

"That means that even if we are very satisfied with users on the PC side, we still have to do our best to make users like our APP on the mobile side,"

"In the final analysis, this means... A battle for users,"

"In the era of mobile Internet, mobile users can be roughly divided into two types. One type is that they have used our PC products and found them useful, and then they installed our APP on their mobile phones,"

"In another case, some people have not used PCs before for various reasons, and mobile is their only choice. How to develop them into our users is a key to our future performance growth...,"

"We must also be fully aware of a problem. Relatively speaking, the average cost of developing an APP will not be too high. This means that in the future, for mobile users, whether it is social networking or online shopping, there will be so many choices that will dazzle people,"

"How to make them choose ours instead of other products?"

"For example, in China, our Alipay is currently the most successful product in the field of online payment, but in the era of mobile Internet, will other powerful competitors emerge?"

"You see, even non-e-commerce products such as Facebook are now developing their own payment products,"

Lao Ma became serious.

Feng Yiping's words clearly meant something.

"If some products in mobile payment can pose a strong threat to Alipay in the future, will this lead them to get involved in e-commerce?" Feng Yiping then raised another question.

"Or, will Facebook, which is now mainly social, also become an e-commerce company in the future?"

Lao Ma frowned tightly.

"This is what I have repeatedly said before, the characteristic of mobile Internet, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, the boundaries are getting more and more blurred, and the real opponents may be outside the industry,"

"Maybe even those new opponents themselves have never thought that they will become our opponents one day,"

"A more realistic problem is that due to the limitations of mobile phone hardware, some APPs that are not used frequently will soon be uninstalled by users because they need more space to run and install the applications they like,"

"This is a more severe challenge..."

"... In any case, I don't want our company to be defeated by some non-professional players and some cross-border robbers in this new era. I hope our company can stay ahead in various industries we are in as it is now,"

"Time has no boundaries, and greatness has no end," Feng Yiping said.

Zuckerberg was a little excited. This was his favorite sentence from the ancient Roman epic "Aeneid".

So Feng had also read it and was impressed by it?

"We will not claim to be great, but I hope that we will become a company that users like, both now and in the future,"

"Whether in the mobile Internet era or in the more distant future, we can provide more and better services to more users,"

"So everyone, I hope that everyone will start thinking about our strategy in this regard from now on,"

"Each era has its own pulse. We must firmly grasp the pulse of the mobile Internet era, although the pulse of this era is really difficult for us to grasp,"

"Because this new era will have many models that are incredible from the current point of view, such as wool coming from pigs, and finally letting dogs pay the bill,"

This time, not only Palmat and Drucker, many people are a little messy.

"This era is an era where even if you win all your opponents, you cannot guarantee that you will develop smoothly. This is an era where the strong may not always be strong,"

"This is the main purpose of our meeting today,"

This is also the purpose of Feng Yiping deliberately holding this meeting in Wuli'ao. I believe that in the near future, everyone will realize the importance of this meeting.

This will naturally inadvertently raise the status of Wuli'ao.

…………

Everyone talked about it.

After a long while, Lao Ma said, "Let me talk about my opinion first. After all, users are still the key,"

This is Lao Ma's ability. Although he does not understand technology, he can also see the essence directly through the complicated appearances.

"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded, "Even if it is a product with an unclear business model, as long as it can attract a certain number of users, then it is a successful product,"

"Because users are the premise, with users, we can always find ways to make profits," Sandberg said, "I still remember your original analysis, Feng, I think your analysis is correct, this is an opportunity for us to surpass Microsoft and Google in the future,"

Obviously, in the era of mobile Internet, the user stickiness of social products is definitely higher than the previous two.

It's just that Randolph is a little unhappy, especially when Facebook seems to be one step ahead, "Feng, can't we, YouTube, strive to become an application on Apple's generation of products?"

"Randolph, you know, because Disney has put all its resources on Apple's iTunes, and it sells well, so many people at Apple don't want a strong competitor to appear on a product they have invested so much resources and spent so much time developing,"

Feng Yiping certainly wanted YouTube to be included in the first generation of iPhones to be released, but Apple just didn't agree, and he was helpless.

"But I believe that this situation will change soon. At the latest, their second-generation products will be open to all applications,"

At this time, Rubin stood up, "It doesn't matter, I'm here,"

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

To be honest, although they knew that he was the CEO of Android, many people didn't know what Android was, because Android had been unknown in the US business lineup before.

"Yes, we have Android, Rubin, you just happened to introduce it to everyone,"

"Let's put it this way, our Android is an operating system that can be installed on mobile terminals including smartphones," Rubin introduced, "We believe that after Apple's smartphones are released, more mobile phone manufacturers will produce similar hardware. At that time, it can be said that our Android system is the most favorite system for their mobile phones,"

"Because our system is not only excellent, but also free,"

"I can say that in the future, there will only be two types of smartphones, those with Apple systems and those with Android systems. As for Microsoft," he shook his head, "it is definitely not our opponent,"

"So everyone, in the next mobile Internet era, we will have an advantage over all other companies," Rubin said without modesty.
