Reborn in 1984: Starting with the Development of Chinese Character Cards, Chapter 341: WeChat. As smartphone sales increased, Zhao Ye was also considering whether to launch a new version of WeChat, but there were still many differences between Facebook and WeChat.
After much deliberation, Zhao Ye decided to launch WeChat.
WeChat is a product that is more geared towards the usage habits of Chinese people.
Abroad, people clearly separate work and life; work is work, and life is life. They also value privacy. A product that covers too many things is not popular with foreigners. On the contrary, the simpler the product, the more popular it is.
In contrast, the domestic market prefers large and comprehensive products.
WeChat can be described as a culmination of many features.
Therefore, Zhao Ye decided to focus on promoting WeChat domestically and Facebook internationally.
Developing an app isn't difficult; Wujiang Group has readily available advanced technology that can be directly applied to WeChat.
That afternoon, Zhao Ye had a WeChat development team organized. He had already written a complete development plan, and the development team only needed to write the code according to his requirements.

September marks the start of the university academic year.
Freshmen leave their hometowns to study at university, so they need to buy a mobile phone.
Many people get their first mobile phone in college.
"Son, this is the first time you've gone so far away from home to study. You need to learn to take good care of yourself, okay? Oh, by the way, Mom and Dad have decided to buy you a cell phone. You can call us if anything happens!"
With their son set to study far away tomorrow, the parents are filled with worry and anxiety.
"Son, what brand of phone do you want?"
"Mom and Dad, I want to buy a Honor phone. Honor phones are one of the most popular smartphones this year, with a very high cost-performance ratio. It's only 999 RMB, and it even supports installment payments." The son was very considerate of his parents' hard work and difficulties, choosing the cheapest Honor phone. The key was that it supported installment payments, which wouldn't put too much pressure on his parents' repayments.
Of course, he himself also really likes smartphones. Nowadays, smartphones are super popular, and everyone is proud to own one. Moreover, his classmates and friends often discuss smartphones.
Who still buys Nokia, Motorola, or Ericsson phones these days?
Smartphones sold very well in September.
Honor phones, known for their high quality, low price, and excellent value, saw a surge in sales in a short period.
In universities, at least 57% of students who own mobile phones have purchased Honor phones. The iPhone 6 is relatively expensive, and fewer students, less than 10%, can afford such an expensive phone.
Blackberry phones, on the other hand, are not very popular among college students.
However, due to production capacity issues, Honor phones are only sold domestically. This is partly to cater to domestic consumers, and partly because their profit margins are relatively low compared to iPhones and BlackBerry phones.
In overseas markets, the focus is on promoting iPhones and BlackBerrys, using scarcity marketing to stimulate overseas consumers to snap up these two smartphones.
Making a killing off foreigners is the most satisfying thing ever.
To date, the total shipments of Honor, iPhone 6, and BlackBerry smartphones have reached a staggering 75.2 million units.
The Wujiang Group has made a fortune, with smartphone revenue exceeding $43 billion and profits reaching $26.1 billion. In addition, paid services, including App Store apps and iCloud, have also generated over $4 billion.
The incredible earning power of Wujiang Group is enough to make the whole world change its tune!
At the same time, 3G mobile communication networks began to develop rapidly.
Countries around the world are building 3G communication base stations and vigorously developing 3G communication networks.
In the 3G era, Wujiang Group's CDMA standard is undoubtedly the most advanced and mature mainstream standard. The world's largest telecommunications companies have purchased related equipment from Wujiang Group to build 3G networks, which has made Wujiang Group extremely wealthy.
After years of dedicated work in the CDMA field, Wujiang Group is finally reaping the rewards.
Without exaggeration, Wujiang Group is even stronger than Qualcomm in its previous life, and basically monopolizes the global baseband market.
Although other countries are also striving to develop their own 3G technology standards, the reality is that their technology is rubbish and their production costs are far from matching those of Wujiang Group's CDMA. After all, "Made in China" is known for its high quality and low price.
Therefore, the vast majority of countries have had to use the CDMA of the Wujiang Group, including the United States.
The United States is composed of 50 states, each with a high degree of autonomy. Even the president would find it difficult to prevent CDMA from entering the local communications network market.
To date, Wujiang Group has captured 86.4% of the global telecommunications network equipment market, far exceeding its competitors, and continues to lead the global telecommunications equipment market.
Wujiang Group uses technology as its weapon, grasps the pulse of the times, and makes a lot of money.
At this moment, Zhao Ye was worried about how to spend all the money he had earned...
Unfortunately, Wujiang Group's spending speed is far slower than its earning speed.
In the end, they had no choice but to invest the money in more challenging cutting-edge technology fields, such as blockchain technology, quantum computing, gene editing technology, biotechnology, nuclear energy, AI, photovoltaics, new materials, virtual and augmented reality, brain-computer interface technology, new energy vehicles, autonomous driving technology, 3D printing technology, space exploration and colonization, 5G technology, and so on...
