The two big guys surnamed Zhang argued about each other's circle of friends, and the screenshots of other big guys who were secretly observed were leaked. They attracted a lot of attention in the industry for a while, and they all turned into powerful onlookers.

As a hunted person, Tik-Tok, a subsidiary of ByteDance, has had a very difficult life in this midsummer, but he finally survived it. Now it seems that he has ended his hardships and has been happy.

After experiencing the "dark moment" in the second quarter, Tik-Tok now ranked first in the global download list of AOS app stores in the third quarter, with specific downloads reaching 68.5 million times, surpassing BlueSpace, BV Video Network, a subsidiary of BlueSpace, BV Video Network, and becoming the most downloaded Azure application in the world.

In the third quarter of this year, the number of downloads of Blue Space was about 30 million, ranking sixth on the list. BV Video Network, Messenger, 45.5 million times, 33.8 million times and 31.3 million times respectively ranked second to fifth.

Tik-Tok has become the most downloaded application in the world, and its installed capacity has beaten its similar competitors, including the rising "read-after burning" software Snapchat, and the super social giant Bluestar Technology, which includes BV Video Network, MicroBlog, BlueSpace, etc.

In 2017 last year, Tik-Tok's monthly download volume was less than 10 million. The download volume of several core social applications under Bluestar Technology is higher than that of Tik-Tok, but it began to rise rapidly in the second half of this year. The monthly download volume reached 23.5 million in September last month, which is only the download volume of the AOS app store.

As of 2018, Tik-Tok's global downloads have reached 330 million. Adding to the 240 million users of Tik-Tok's predecessor, the "Musical.ly" software, the cumulative downloads have now reached 750 million. Currently, the number of monthly active users worldwide has reached 400 million.

These impressive data took Tik-Tok in less than two years, while BV Video Network used three years, Messenger for four years, and Blue Space for five and a half years.

The popularity has been uncontrollable for some reason, but it has been sweeping the world and users are willing to stay on Tik-Tok for quite a while. This social product is becoming increasingly popular among local young people in North America.

In North America, local users turn on Tik-Tok about 8 times a day, with an average of 5 minutes each time, corresponding to BlueSpace and BlueSpace under BlueSpace Group, which are 4.9 minutes and 3.7 minutes respectively.

...

The headquarters of the Costa çare, the city of the Galaxy.

Early this morning, Zhang Bowen came to the Costa ça.

"Come in... Oh, Lao Zhang? Haha, what wind blows you to my territory?" Yao Jianhong's office saw that the person coming in was Zhang Bowen, the actual head of Blue Star Technology, and couldn't help but laugh.

When Zhang Bowen came in, he took a care of himself on the sofa in the rest area and sat down. He was not polite at all. He immediately complained: "Stop talking about it, I can't sleep or eat until I'm not dead. Recently, Zhang Yiming made me feel uneasy and couldn't sleep at night."

Hearing this, Yao Jianhong came out of his desk, sat down opposite Lao Zhang, crossed his legs and joked: "How is it? It's not good to be hit by someone's ass. Now you can feel the taste of those old giants that were hit by Blue Star Technology ten years ago."

Zhang Bowen shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "I was careless. I can't even get rid of the blame for Zhang Yiming's rise. Or is Mr. Luo's insight terrible? I remember that in 2013, during a chat with Mr. Luo, he mentioned the value of Zhang Yiming and his headline products. He tried to acquire them. It may not be very threatening by 2016. Unexpectedly, it was just a year or two in a blink of an eye. It happened that he encountered trouble in North America in the past two years, and ignored Zhang Yiming's expansion..."

Now that these are all hindsights, Tik-Tok's current momentum is now, the global download volume will be 1 billion by the end of the year.

In fact, Blue Star Technology did send people to Zhang Yiming to initiate merger and acquisition invitations many times, but without exception, they were rejected by the other party. In desperation, they had to give up. It was clear that they didn't want to work with you. Not only did they not want to, but they also wanted to replace them.

However, although Zhang Bowen at that time admired Zhang Yiming's ambition, he did not think that the other party could pose a great threat to Blue Star Technology. Lao Zhang thought in his heart that he had N versions of ways to defeat his opponent. After all N methods were used, Lao Zhang finally began to realize something was wrong with Dama.

Today, especially since the second half of this year, the global battle of Tik-Tok on the international version of Tik-Tok has caused the world to "tremble" rhythm.

Zhang Bowen said in a deep voice: "The amazing thing about Zhang Yiming is that the success of Tik-Tok can be copied in major markets around the world. The overseas version is so attractive, but there is actually not much change in the way of playing. Overseas users are also playing prank games, sitcoms, jokesters, somersaults, singing and mouth shapes. The difference is that the people in the short video are no longer East Asian faces, and their language has changed."

Yao Jianhong nodded, and after a moment he also analyzed: "ByteDance's rise is also within my focus. Tik-Tok's icebreaking in different overseas markets has the existence of accidental factors such as Blue Star Technology being involved in North America, but overall, its operating ideas should be the same as domestic Douyin."

Seeing that his brother's company Bluestar Technology is so anxious now, Yao Jianhong's sense of crisis has also increased a little. The Costa delle behind competitors in the field of smart homes, and he is not facing one or two opponents, but a group.

The old international manufacturers such as Nokia, Motorola, and Blackberry, which were killed or disabled by the Costa à la Côte d'Azur, are not cold yet, and Yao Jianhong doesn't want to go to them to play with him.

However, relatively speaking, the situation on the Costa delle is much better. The Dabai robot is the real killer weapon, which gives Yao Jianhong great confidence.

But the sense of crisis really exists. Being strong now does not mean that you can continue to be strong. Your own rise itself is to reach the top by stepping on the bodies of old giants. There are many people who have the idea of ​​"that can be replaced by it."

When Yao Jianhong finished speaking, Lao Zhang nodded repeatedly and said, "You are right. Zhang Yiming first increased the investment of hundreds of millions and spent money to attract celebrities to join. Then, the star effect brought him a large number of young seed users and attracted the first batch of traffic. Then, relying on super operation, he ignited his reputation. His three axes are not only used in China, but also proved to be successful in mature markets such as Japan, Europe, and North America."

At this time, Yao Jianhong looked at the other party and said, "Old Zhang, you ran to me in a hurry. Could it be that you want me to be your thug once?"

Hearing this, Zhang Bowen held his head and coughed a few times, then looked at the other party and said bluntly: "Okay, I won't keep you from keeping it. You guessed it. I came here this time to ask you to take action and ban the Byte products on the AOS and WOS side. Just this, Zhang Yiming will have to peel off even if he doesn't die. In addition, I, Blue Star Technology, continue to increase my efforts, and even if he can live, he will breathe a sigh of relief."

This move is really cruel, and it is a completely unreasonable move to act like a hooligan, which is to act like a hooligan openly.

This is what Zhang Yiming is most afraid of. As long as the Costa del Blue intervenes in this dispute and takes all its strength to suppress it, it will definitely be a heavy blow to ByteDance. If you are not careful, you may be completely disappointed.

Smartphones are the core carrier foundation of the mobile Internet at present. Banning from the AOS and WOS ends means that about 65% of the world are directly isolated and can only absorb users in the Android camp.

Behind Android is Google, which is a Silicon Valley technology giant. Now the United States is not just looking at Blue Star Technology, but the Costa delle of the Blue Sky, but all those named "Hua" are not happy. Tik-Tok's current momentum is also full of presence in North America and has long been in the sight of the United States. Zhang Yiming has already felt the strong hostility of the United States.

If you understand the operation of the baby, you may be arranged one day.

Therefore, even though ByteDance is at its peak, its fragile side is objective. Once it collapses, it will be a bloody rhythm. Although Zhang Yiming showed off his achievements and complained in his circle of friends, he also felt full of crisis.

"This is absolutely not OK. Lao Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I can't. Once I do this, the harm to the third-party developer community will have sequelae that may not heal for ten years. This shakes the root of the third-party developer community, and this shakes the core competitiveness of the Costa delle of the Blue."

When Yao Jianhong heard the other party’s request, he refused without thinking and added: “If you want to ban it from the consumer terminal, Zhang Yiming must make a mistake by himself, just like banning the ‘intrinsic jokes’, everyone has nothing to say.”

Yao Jianhong said that he would not open any of this head, as long as he sat in this position, he would not be able to pass through the Costa del Sur.

Once this kind of head starts, what will other third-party developers think? Will a product will rise in the future and will be indiscriminately banned as long as it threatens you?

This will not only cause a series of lawsuits on the Costa delle of the Blue Sky, but also troubles such as antitrust investigations. The most fatal thing is that the vitality of the developer community will no longer exist and gradually evolve into a stagnant pool. Some aspiring people will inevitably worry that their products will be made, and they will eventually be ruthlessly banned and killed by the Costa delle, which will inevitably be discouraged.

And these aspiring people are precisely the core group that ensures the vitality of the community.

It's simply pushing excellent developers to the Android camp. Those who are in Google's management want to see this happen, and Larry Page and others will probably laugh at the sound of a pig in their dreams.

Zhang Bowen smiled bitterly for a long time and was speechless. He looked at the ceiling with his back against the sofa and sighed: "In terms of the current Internet buzzwords, the baby is feeling bitter."

Yao Jianhong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Old Zhang, you knew that I would not agree before you came. This is not obvious. You just want to find someone to complain and release the pressure recently. In Blue Star Technology, you can only be dull, feel sad but cannot speak, you can't show your grudges to your subordinates and hurt your morale, and you are embarrassed to go to Mr. Luo for your boss, so you can only come to me. I understand, maybe I will go to you one day, in the same situation as you."

Zhang Bowen murmured to himself: "You are right. It's really good to beat others. I'm really unhappy when I'm beaten by others. I've all realized the taste of both ends, Made."

If poor Zhang Baobao knew about ByteDance and Tik-Tok had been clearly arranged by his immediate boss, he would not have suffered so much, nor would he come to Yao Jianhong for comfort.

But he is still kept in the dark, including Zhang Yiming and everyone else in the outside world.

After a long time of fighting, was it the left hand hitting the right hand?

Don't bring such a trick.
