Time flies, and 2018 has entered its last quarter. Luo Sheng’s work focus this year is basically on the Costa del Azure and Horizon Safety International. The Blue Star Technology, which he founded at first, has hardly paid much attention this year. He went to the company headquarters no more than 10 times throughout the year, and the CEO’s office is about to be gray.

The matter on the Costa à la Côte d'Azur has finally been arranged. Luo Sheng did not continue working, but gave himself a short holiday. After all, he is on a statutory holiday now, so it is not too much to rest.

After spending a few days of dire holidays, Luo Sheng paid attention to the recent situation of Blue Star Technology.

On October 8, Science and Technology Complex.

This morning, Luo Sheng had just finished a simple meal, and some important things to do this year were almost done. Then he remembered Blue Star Technology and asked: "Xiao Na, what are the internal and external news about Blue Star Technology that are worth paying attention to?"

Xiaona responded: "Internal, since May this year, Zhang Bowen has faced the competitive pressure from ByteDance and has clearly stated within the management that ByteDance is very likely to be the potential number one competitor of Blue Star Technology in the future, and has officially launched a comprehensive encirclement of it, especially the short video business as the representative."

Hearing Xiaona's reply, Luo Sheng couldn't help but be stunned. After reacting, he couldn't help laughing.

In fact, Zhang Bowen, who is in charge of Blue Star Technology's operations, did not know that Luo Sheng had already planned to ByteDance. Now, not only is ByteDance's largest shareholder, but he also has a veto power in his hand.

However, no one knows that until now, the "angel investor" of ByteDance is actually controlled by the Luo Sheng family fund.

Only two people know the whole truth here, that is, Luo Sheng himself and Qin Weimu, who made Qin Weimu arrange it and carefully designed the "vas" of Anaheim Asia, and finally successfully won the headlines, which is now ByteDance.

However, Zhang Bowen, who was unaware of this, felt under great pressure. Bluestar Technology has been around for fifteen years and is now the world's largest super technology giant with a market value of US$2.5 trillion, ranking first in the world. However, he is very afraid of emerging Internet companies like ByteDance.

Luo Sheng didn't plan to tell Lao Zhang the truth at all. It might not be a bad thing to put him in a little pressure. Besides, you have to do enough drama, so that it is true.

If Zhang Yiming finds out that he is still working for Luo Sheng, it may be a shame if he gives up the job in anger. Luo Sheng still hopes that he will work for him for as long as possible.

Xiaona opened a screen in the room, called out a piece of information and said: "In China, Blue Star Technology focuses on blocking ByteDance's Douyin products. WeChat CEO Liu Jinlong and his team said, "In order to avoid links that swipe the screen affecting the experience of Moments, there are anti-sweep restrictions on the spread of links in Moments, and the calculation of the rating is based on days. If the number of times the links are shared in Moments triggers the upper limit of the day, it will be automatically blocked and will be restored to normal the next day."

Luo Sheng immediately took the initiative to check the relevant information and was quite surprised when he saw it: "The two sides are fighting so fiercely? Lao Zhang is also cruel enough."

Facing ByteDance's competitive response strategy, Zhang Bowen took decisive action, which can be said to be a complete decoupling and ban. It is not just a simple battle of words, but just doing it without any hesitation. Even if he is criticized by the so-called industry insiders for "blaming the small with the big" name.

The situation of Blue Star Technology's stance has also attracted the attention of the industry. As the undisputed social overlord in the world today, people have found that since the rise of Blue Star Technology, it has never been as "overreacted" as it is today, and it has actually attacked a startup that has not yet been listed.

To a certain extent, this made ByteDance famous.

After all, being suppressed by the current global social overlord Thunder is itself a manifestation of strength, and this also makes capital increasingly favorable to ByteDance.

How ruthless is Bluestar Technology’s move?

Its Blue Space, Weibo, WeChat and other social platforms have banned it. This strength is completely regarded as an equal competitor, and it is not even as strong as it competes with Google.

In Zhang Bowen's eyes, social interaction is the heartland of the core kingdom of Blue Star Technology, and ByteDance is trying to spy on the heartland of Blue Star Technology Kingdom. It must react in the most ruthless, fastest and most decisive way and destroy it, without any negotiation.

Faced with the sudden "not generous" variable of Blue Star Technology, ByteDance's life in the second quarter of 2018 was very difficult, so the two sides began to have a war of words. Zhang Yiming, the head of ByteDance, couldn't help but jump out and post a dynamic on his social account: [If you don't randomly suppress and block applications and information flow, it will be more worthy of the company's recent ones.]

Although the name was not pointed out, the majority of netizens knew that it was talking about Blue Star Technology.

Zhang Bowen also directly stated that Zhang Yiming was "allergic" and said that "the platform treats everyone equally."

The netizens who like to watch melons said: Everyone’s surname is Zhang, why bother hurting each other and making things difficult for each other…

In fact, ByteDance's own problems cannot be covered up when facing this crisis. Like most software that can quickly accumulate users, its short video business was inseparable from playing the edge and growing wildly in the early stages.

This directly led the state to take action to rectify the situation. This so-called "ban" actually originated from the country's Internet short video rectification campaign in April. Relevant departments found that the "Nian Mojizi" client software organized and promoted by the company and the associated public accounts have prominent problems such as incorrect orientation and vulgar style, and ordered its parent company to permanently close the "Nian Mojizi" client software and its public accounts.

For this reason, Toutiao had to quickly decouple it and clear out the negative impact of this product.

Then, Zhang Bowen took the initiative to act decisively, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and let his social network media platforms such as WeChat, Blue Space, Weibo, and Yunge Tieba suspend the direct playback function of short video APP external links.

The connotation joke is a software product that ByteDance has high hopes for. Its development speed is also very rapid. The number of users has soared to 200 million. The popular "Di, Didi" code is quickly popular on the Internet. Facing such an ending, it is indeed a big blow to ByteDance.

But the genes that connotate jokes have actually been destined to end in this way.

However, after experiencing the darkest moment in the second quarter, ByteDance, led by Zhang Yiming, finally quickly emerged from the haze, which also attracted the attention of industry insiders.

"Master, Zhang Yiming just posted a news message."

At this moment, Xiaona reminded him, and Luo Sheng said curiously: "Look at what it is."

In a moment, the big screen in front immediately popped up the message. It was a dynamic news of Zhang Yiming's circle of friends, with two pictures attached, one is the global download ranking of the AOS app store, and the other is a note, which is the Tik-Tok, an international version of Tik-Tok, a subsidiary of ByteDance.

Two pictures were uploaded and the English sentence was attached: [Celebrate Small success]

It can be translated as "celebrating a small success".

Xiaona refreshed the interface, and soon left a message below this update: [Tik-Tok downloads the world's first in AOS app store in the third quarter, and Bluestar Technology's excuse to ban it cannot stop Douyin's pace]

A few minutes later, Zhang Bowen jumped out and left a message under this update: [It can be understood as slander]

In less than a minute, Zhang Yiming replied to Zhang Bowen: [The former is not suitable for discussion, the latter has been notarizing. I didn’t expect any war of words. I just couldn’t help but complain, I will send you the materials separately]

Zhang Bowen replied to Zhang Yiming: [Too many of you need to notarize]

Nowadays, those who can see this circle of friends are all familiar big shots to netizens, and most of them are watching the fun.

Seeing the "Two Zhangs" secretly slamming in their circle of friends, Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing. When he saw Zhang Yiming posting the Tik-Tok download list and winning the world's number one, he almost couldn't help asking Xiaona to use his account to give her a thumbs up.

The executives of Blue Star Technology must be unhappy when they see this update, but Luo Sheng is the only one outside the list. He hopes that the hotter Tik-Tok's momentum, the better.

However, Luo Sheng finally gave up the idea of ​​likes. At this time, he should not show off his presence, otherwise he would catch everyone on both sides off guard and might think more.

That would be unbeautiful.
