The appearance of TikTok quickly caused a sensation on the internet.
"An internet miracle, a newly released short video software, has reached a terrifying 6 million downloads in 24 hours."
"A magical short video software; how can a piece of software reach 6 million downloads in 24 hours? Our reporter takes you to explore the secrets of TikTok."
"TikTok, our new lifestyle fashion."
"Have you played TikTok today?"
With the news of TikTok's 6 million downloads spreading, TikTok was instantly pushed to the headlines of major media outlets.
Major media outlets were all reporting on TikTok.
24 hours, 6 million downloads; this data is simply astonishing.
Apps have been out for so many years, but among so many pieces of software, not one has been able to reach such a terrifying number of downloads.
Even WeChat didn't have such impressive download numbers back in the day.
Furthermore, WeChat relied on traffic from QQ back then.
To put it bluntly, WeChat was converted from QQ traffic, whereas the TikTok app is an entirely new product.
Apart from previous promotions, it had no prior user base.
Yet, such a newly emerged video app managed to attract countless fans through wonderful content; it is truly amazing.
Surpassing 6 million downloads in 24 hours can be called a legend and a myth.
This data left many people in disbelief.
"What is TikTok? How come I haven't heard of it?"
"You are so out of it; there are so many pretty young ladies on TikTok now."
"Damn, really? Then I won't have to look at young ladies at the school gate anymore."
"Are there really that many beauties? I'm going to download one."
"Of course, there are young ladies who sing well, young ladies who dance well, and even young ladies who can act."
"TikTok isn't just about young ladies; there are also many excellent videos."
"Damn, I actually unknowingly scrolled through TikTok all night last night."
"I've watched TikTok, it's really super awesome."
With the reports from major media, countless people learned about the TikTok software for the first time.
Especially the boys; looking at the young ladies on TikTok, they simply couldn't stop.
If you are on a bus and see some young man smiling foolishly,
don't doubt it, he must be scrolling through TikTok looking at beauties.
Of course, it's not just beauties in there.
There are also handsome men that beauties like.
And the charm of the handsome men inside is not inferior to the beauties at all.
With the media reports, it brought another wave of traffic to TikTok.
The download numbers were climbing rapidly.
Whether on the main streets or small alleys, the most popular phrase was:
"Have you scrolled through TikTok today?"
Some industry insiders even exclaimed:
"The wolf is coming."
With the popularity of TikTok, a video platform that had always occupied an absolute dominant position felt a strong sense of crisis.
a video platform could be said to be the ancestor of short videos in this era.
They possessed an absolute monopoly position in 2008.
a video platform did not expect that such a terrifying piece of software would appear so quickly.
a video platform was actually also transitioning to short videos.
But they were still in the exploration stage.
However, after so many years of operation, the user base of a video platform had already reached tens of millions.
But these users were accumulated only after five or six years of development by a video platform.
Now, a newly emerged software had reached a terrifying 6 million downloads in just one day.
If they were given more time to develop, wouldn't their position as the boss be unstable?
At the headquarters of a video platform, in the Conference Room.
Chairman Zheng had a gloomy expression.
"What are your thoughts on this newly released TikTok?"
"Chairman, this TikTok is coming on aggressively and has already snatched away quite a few of our customers. If we don't do something, I'm afraid our customers will soon be snatched away by them."
"Yes, the production of this TikTok software is too mature; it feels much stronger than ours."
Chairman Zheng frowned: "I am clear about what you are saying. Now I want to know, what countermeasures do you have?"
A vice president said: "I think we can choose to follow the trend and also produce some videos similar to TikTok to attract traffic."
"Yes, our user base is there. As long as we shoot some videos that attract traffic, they will definitely not be our match."
"Hmm, I think this method is feasible. Whatever TikTok shoots, we shoot. We have more users than them; they definitely won't be able to beat us."
"That's right, I think following the trend is a very good idea."
"Hmm, our technical department has studied it. The reason why TikTok obtained such high download numbers is directly related to those short videos of theirs."
"I think the appearance of TikTok is not a bad thing; it has given us a lot of subject matter."
The other Shareholders were all in agreement.
That is, to follow the trend.
Whatever TikTok shoots, they follow and shoot.
Anyway, TikTok had just developed, and its competitiveness was definitely not as good as theirs.
The Shopping Mall is like a battlefield.
Although doing this is not very honorable, this is the Shopping Mall.
The result is the most important thing.
Since you dare to challenge us, then don't blame us for using despicable methods.
Chairman Zheng nodded and said: "Since that is the case, let's make arrangements according to what you all said."
"However, since we have found the direction, we cannot blindly follow the trend; we must also have our own style."
"Yes, our position must absolutely not be snatched away by TikTok."
The Chairman highly agreed with the thoughts of these Shareholders.
However, he also put forward his own ideas.
They cannot blindly follow the trend, otherwise, wouldn't they just become a knock-off TikTok?
Therefore, they must have their own style.
The general manager of the technical department nodded and said: "Yes, Chairman Zheng, I will arrange for the people in the technical department to do it right away."
"Alright, today's meeting ends here. Everyone work a bit harder recently; you must pay attention to the development of TikTok."
Chairman Zheng took a deep breath: "I have a feeling that this TikTok is definitely a formidable rival of ours and will certainly not be defeated so easily."
"Yes." The other Shareholders also nodded one after another.
After all, TikTok created 5 million downloads in 24 hours; this achievement made them have to treat it seriously.
At this time, Ye Chen did not know that because of his appearance, the development of the once popular a video platform had encountered an unprecedented crisis ahead of time.
Originally, a video platform would only encounter its formidable rival, TikTok, more than a decade later.
As a result, it encountered it early now.
Time passed quickly for another three days.
The download numbers of TikTok were still increasing steadily.
In just three days, TikTok's download numbers surpassed 10 million.
Such download numbers made industry insiders exclaim in shock.
a video platform also felt unprecedented competitive pressure.
On the school Playground.
Ye Chen and Xia Yingluo were running on the Playground.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Ye Chen stopped his steps and answered the phone.
Li Li's anxious voice came from the phone.
"Ye Chen, it's bad! Our biggest competitor, a video platform, is plagiarizing our video works."
Over the past few days, a video platform finally shot a large number of works and uploaded them to a video platform.
In this way, many of the original users of a video platform who were watching TikTok were immediately attracted back to a video platform.
Furthermore, as these old users left, they also took away quite a few of TikTok's fans.
Seeing this situation, Li Li became anxious.
