copied kakao from South Korea, and Xiaomi also copied this one. Everyone should know who copied the three companies, and then Tencent bought others backhand! I have to say that a little Korean innovation is really strong
I read the comments of various great gods. It's a bit of a slap in the face. You wanted to whitewash Tencent's interface, but you were hit in the face. In a strict sense, nothing is beyond Tencent. The key is that copying is not hateful. If you copy it so that people have no choice, you will be hateful.
The earliest copy of Xiaomi's Mi Chat by WeChat, the earliest intercom voice chat mode, was Mi Chat.
When Mi Chat was the hottest, Ma Huateng was on pins and needles and sent an email to Zhang Xiaolong at two in the morning: Make (copy) it for me.
WeChat copied Mi Chat. If Tencent didn't send out WeChat, QQ would be killed by Mi Chat. I also used Mi Chat, and WeChat used QQ.
wechat copied kakao, copied rice and chatted. lsp knows what started early wechat, and shaking and drifting bottles are good tools for ghs.
Like most Internet startups, Xiaomi grew up through trial and error. Xiaomi's first important product is rice chat. Prior to this, they developed a number of hands-on products such as Xiaomi driver and Xiaomi reading.
The predecessor of Mi Chat is Xiaomi Tong. Since the second half of 21, Xiaomi has been trying to make something similar to Xiaomi Tong. For Lei Jun who missed the first wave of Internet development, it seems to make sense to regain his dream with this software.
However, in the instant messaging of mobile phones, many leading products such as QQ and Fetion have already seized various markets. It seems that this product with such a rustic name has no good luck to kill its opponents. Without being revolutionary, there is no possibility of survival in the face of powerful opponents such as QQ.
in 21, an instant messaging product called Kik appeared in the market. Its biggest feature is to establish a communication mode based on real identity by matching with the mobile phone address book, and at the same time, to get through the existing SNS. At that time, Fetion was declining, and SNS was still in carnival, which provided a way out for the rice chat in the dilemma.
Lei Jun distributed it to Weibo at 15: 29 on July 27th, 21, saying, "Let's talk about Tencent. Tencent has achieved a generation of hegemony, and Ma Huateng has become the overlord of this era. But as powerful as the Roman Empire and as powerful as the Daqin Dynasty, there will be a day of decline, which is a natural law.
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, which is the driving force for the progress of human society. The key point is why and when Tencent will decline, which is worth pondering by all of us! This is our opportunity to start a business. "
in December 21, Xiaomi released the first Kik-like product in China, first the Android version, and then the iPhone version. In April 211, Mi Chat borrowed a similar product called Talkbox from Hong Kong, and added walkie-talkie function to Mi Chat, and the number of users soared to 1 million. Lei Jun once famously said: "Standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly." Obviously, Michao stood on the cusp of mobile instant messaging. We don't know whether Lei Jun thought Michao was an opportunity to subvert Tencent.
However, Ma Huateng's sense of crisis is not worse than Lei Jun's. Lei Jun may not know it, but Tencent, the king of instant messaging in China, has secretly developed a product called "WeChat" under the leadership of Zhang Xiaolong, the Guangzhou R&D headquarters.
January 211 should be a nightmare for Lei Jun. Tencent launched the blockbuster "WeChat", which also stood on the cusp of instant messaging with Mi Chat. The rapid "take-off" of the pig WeChat directly led to the fall of Mi Chat. Wechat relies on the mature relationship chain of 8 million QQ users, and it takes only one year to get 1 million users, leaving Mi Chat far behind.
On August 7, 211, nine days before the release of Xiaomi's mobile phone, Lei Jun sent a Weibo: "Give up, you can get it if you give up, and the house is small, but the house is big." In May 212, Lei Jun said in an interview that it is reasonable for Mi Chat to lose to Tencent WeChat, and it has created a miracle that entrepreneurial companies can survive in direct competition with Tencent. Winning or losing is a common occurrence for military strategists, and Lei Jun has long been relieved. Although the rice chat failed, in the process of doing rice chat, Lei Jun deeply realized how important it is to stand on the "tuyere" and realized the value of "following the trend".
Maybe when the time is right, when the hurricane comes, Lei Jun will pick up Mi Chat's weapon against Tencent. This hurricane may be the time when Xiaomi relies on hardware and MIUI to build a powerful ecosystem that can compete with Tencent, and this day will definitely come in Lei Jun's heart.
Then, in-depth discussion, why did Mi Chat lose to WeChat?
1. From the product form, people who are in close contact with you are the first to use this kind of products (you see something you want to share with him, or communicate with him by asynchronous voice). What? You don't even have his number? ), at this point, QQ friends list does not have much advantage over phone book.
The problem of Mi Chat is the quality of products. I have established a circle with some close friends for a long time, but there are often poor pictures and voice cards. The terrible thing is that this problem has never been solved, but WeChat has never had this problem. Whether it is a technical foundation or a stronger one.
please refer to friendster for the problem of product quality.
2. In the later period, this product expanded to make friends with strangers, which is also the reason why WeChat finally became popular, which has nothing to do with the advantages of QQ (relationship list). What a shake, around, WeChat evolved rapidly, and can cooperate with the operation and promotion, and some functions immediately became popular.
Michao, on the other hand, has been left behind in grasping the potential opportunities in the market and quickly launching functions.
Of course, QQ will definitely promote WeChat. For example, WeChat can receive offline messages from QQ, which is a no-brainer. However, if, if Mi Chat can get these steps right and have a good differentiation and positioning for WeChat in advance, the result is really unknown.
Plagiarism is the beginning of learning. The word plagiarism should not be abused, and not all of them should be defined as plagiarism. But people hate Tencent because it can only copy.
Generally, when a company starts a business, it thinks an avant-garde idea may be liked by the public, and then it crosses the river by feeling the stones and puts it into the market with risks. If the market responds well, he can do it.
Tencent does not need to develop new business, just wait for a product in the market to respond well, and then he will copy the same one. Thanks to the huge sticky user base, after the new product is launched, as long as you use it, you can give extra virtual rewards to the old users. A month's membership is even just a badge, and customers will run to him. Tencent's own team will do some optimization on the basis of copying, and you really don't have to be as good as others.
In this way, when others took risks with creativity and just started to improve or return, they were starved to death just before the food was served. This kind of monopoly under the cover of competition is not despicable. This is why everyone hates Tencent's plagiarism. What is even more frightening is that when the tentacles of your network empire penetrate into various fields and form a more unshakable force that affects the whole society, the physical society will inevitably be overhead to a certain extent.
That's why people have that disgusting feeling of contempt and fear. You hate him for being bad to you and you can't live without him. You don't have Stockholm syndrome, but you love and hate him. He bites off the fish tongue like a fish tick and replaces it, which is what you should have. You can't live without him but you don't want to be controlled by him.
to read a sentence. "I have been imitating and have never been surpassed." What seems to be saying is
