Once a friend uses QQ, they will recommend it to their friends and family, spreading it almost virally, especially the QQ group function, which has become popular in enterprises and campuses.

One week after its launch, QQ's registered users surpassed 100 million, shocking the world!

The investment community is in an uproar because of QQ!

Numerous investors called Wujiang Group, expressing their desire to invest in QQ.

QQ is probably the fastest-growing software in terms of user numbers that they have ever seen. It is incredibly powerful and has almost become a standard feature for every netizen.

At the same time, Amazon's website, which was jointly operated with QQ, experienced a surge in traffic, and its users and revenue increased dramatically.

Seeing the incredible traffic QQ brought to Amazon's website, investors became even more eager to invest in QQ.

Sequoia Capital founder Don Valentine exclaimed, "My goodness, this is an incredible growth rate! Instant messaging software is absolutely the most important part of the internet, and we at Sequoia Capital must seize this opportunity!!!"

Goldman Sachs President Michael Pullman analyzed, "Communicating online will be a trend, an essential need, everyone needs it! The number of potential users for QQ is equal to the number of internet users worldwide!!!"

Time magazine called it: "QQ, the ancestor of instant messaging software!!!"

At this time, similar products that imitated QQ were also launched immediately.

However, as a social networking software, QQ instant messaging software exhibits an extremely strong Matthew effect. The more people use it, the more people it attracts; conversely, the fewer people use it, the more people it attracts.

After other instant messaging software was launched, it was doomed.

In my past life, QQ was so powerful that I could win against my opponents effortlessly.

I hadn't even used much force, and you guys were already game over.

Zhao Ye knew, of course, that many companies would also develop instant messaging software, but he wasn't afraid at all.

There are software programs or websites that can beat QQ, but they won't appear anytime soon.

QQ focuses on social networking with strangers. You can register for QQ even without using your ID card and find friends in "Nearby" or even around the world.

However, you may never know whether the person you're chatting with is a human or a dog.

Despite this, users all over the world love QQ, and many flirtatious men and women especially love the "My Nearby" feature, which could potentially be used for flirting, as it might be helpful for them to meet up in the same city.

It is well known that Europe and America are more open-minded, and it is said that very few high school students are still virgins.

According to QQ's backend data, since QQ was launched, many European and American users have used the "My Nearby" feature most frequently.

Some users even add two or three hundred female QQ users every day through "My Nearby," which is absolutely outrageous.

Seeing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but worry that Western governments would define QQ as a pornographic chat software.

QQ Company.

With a stern face, Zhao Ye instructed Lü Cangran in a very serious manner: "Many people are using the 'My Nearby' feature to do bad things, so we must disable 'My Nearby'."
