200: Section 200
Through older users, WeChat has firmly established itself in both chat and payment fields.
If it were other software and companies, after achieving such results, they might have already started celebrating and slowing down, as no one truly wants to be enemies with Penguin Group and Ali Group.
But the key is...
The opponent is Wang Mo.
The person who dared to directly sue Penguin Group with his first software.
The person who dared to directly challenge Ali Group's Taobao with his second software.
Regarding this person...
Double Ma knows very well.
If Wang Mo does not reach the pinnacle in a certain field, he will definitely not stop. The idiom 'know when to quit' simply does not exist in Wang Mo's dictionary.
Therefore...
It is only a matter of time before WeChat targets first- and second-tier cities and younger user groups.
Previously, both Ali Group and Penguin Group internally thought that WeChat would be defeated before it could even reach this stage.
But the fact is...
WeChat not only reached this stage but also firmly stabilized its pace.
For such an opponent who bites down and refuses to let go, Double Ma couldn't help but feel shivers down their spines.
After listening to General Manager Ma's words...
General Manager Ma angrily slapped the table in front of him and directly said,
"Then I'll wait and see!"
"We cannot interfere with the older user market, and with the existence of Weixin Wallet, we cannot stop its explosion in the Lower-Tier Market."
"But..."
"As long as WeChat dares to truly enter the younger user group, I will definitely make him understand that in this position, QQ can absolutely not be shaken by anyone!"
"We have long built a complete ecosystem serving young users through QQ, especially in the corresponding gaming field.
As long as we remain the only leader in Yan Country's gaming field, WeChat will not have any real possibility of shaking QQ!"
Speaking of this...
General Manager Ma looked at General Manager Ma on the screen.
"Instead, you, General Manager Ma."
"Your Blue Wallet ecosystem is not as stable as ours."
"Users do not have to use Blue Wallet, even younger user groups."
"If you cannot maintain the payment habits of the younger user group, then your Blue Wallet is the most dangerous."
Listening to General Manager Ma's words...
General Manager Ma slowly nodded.
"I understand this point, you don't need to worry."
"But I still want to remind you."
"Now WeChat is our common opponent, do not let your judgment be wrong."
General Manager Ma nodded and said,
"I know what's important, don't worry."
After that...
After everyone discussed how to deal with WeChat's upcoming impact, the video conference officially ended.
And in the following days...
WeChat's user growth had reached an extremely terrifying level.
Originally, there were many second and third-tier towns and small villages in Yan Country.
It would take a considerable amount of time to promote WeChat in every location.
But everyone underestimated the appeal of this profit to many people.
So, just three days later...
Most of Yan Country's second and third-tier towns and some large rural areas were basically swept through by various gift-giving activities.
WeChat's user base also saw a large increase in older users who previously had smartphones but never used chat software or online payments.
Just as this wave of WeChat promotions sweeping through Yan Country's Lower-Tier Market was about to end, an update launched by Blue Wallet added fuel to the fire of this activity.
Originally, many people who earned money through WeChat Red Envelope scans had already started counting their money at home.
But before they even finished counting their money, they saw information that Blue Wallet had launched a similar activity.
For a time...
The grand gift-giving activities in the countryside reappeared.
However, this time...
The software these people promoted had changed from WeChat to Blue Wallet.
In the following days...
Blue Wallet experienced a similar situation to WeChat. After purchasing a weibo hot search, Blue Wallet's rural activities appeared in various second and third-tier towns in Yan Country.
And because they had the first experience...
This time, both the speed of promotion and the time it took to sweep through various towns were much faster than WeChat's previous efforts.
Blue Wallet's user numbers also surged wildly under these circumstances.
Five days after Blue Wallet launched its update...
Ali Group officially announced that Blue Wallet's daily active users had increased from nearly 600 million to 800 million!
This activity, which copied Weixin Wallet, directly increased Blue Wallet's user base by 200 million!
From this moment on...
Blue Wallet's position as the perennial second-place finally changed.
Now, the top spot for daily active users in Yan Country has changed from QQ to Ali Group's Blue Wallet!
Many people did not expect that...
The biggest winner in the initial struggle between WeChat and QQ, at this point, turned out to be Blue Wallet.
And after Blue Wallet publicly released its latest daily active users...
This information naturally also climbed to the weibo hot search.
Many users were celebrating, and Blue Wallet also announced that it would continue to launch various activities.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Blue Wallet is finally the software with the most daily active users in Yan Country."
"I remember before, Blue Wallet was suppressed by QQ for almost ten years, right? For these ten years, Blue Wallet was always second, and now it has finally turned over."
"However, since Blue Wallet has increased so many users, WeChat's current user count must not be bad either, but why hasn't WeChat publicly released its data?"
"It's normal not to disclose it. No matter how many users both software have now, it's only temporary. After all, these users were added because of the previous rural activities. Let's wait half a month to see how many users WeChat and Blue Wallet can retain, that's the key."
"I see, that's why WeChat didn't disclose it. It's preparing to wait until the daily active user count stabilizes."
Among these comments...
Although many people wanted to know WeChat's current user count...
Because of WeChat's more stable attitude, they could only wait for a period of time.
After all, the number of users added through such activities is indeed not long-term.
It's not about how many users can be added through activities; the key is how many of these activity-added users can be converted into loyal user groups.
As for why Blue Wallet chose to disclose its daily active users so early...
One very crucial reason is...
After they disclose the data, they can not only occupy the top spot for daily active software in Yan Country but also set a new record.
Even if later...
Due to fading popularity, Blue Wallet's user count won't be as high as it is now.
But the record of 800 million peak daily active users will not be broken by anyone in a short time.
And as time passed...
The popularity of this gift-giving activity in the countryside finally slowly dissipated.
