At nine o'clock that evening.
YY has officially launched Paypal payment globally. Paypal adopts a completely parallel settlement strategy with Alipay. Alipay supports all RMB settlements, while Paypal supports all non-RMB settlements.
Launched at the same time as Paypal payment, is YY's new membership value-added service. This set of membership value-added services is completely different from the previous single membership standard, especially the various wireless superimposed service packages, which can satisfy everyone. special office needs, and the amount of money it really requires is very little.
In the United States, any office software may cost hundreds of dollars. The activation fee for some anti-virus software is tens or even hundreds of dollars a year. A premium mailbox even costs a few dollars a month to use. So For American users, YY's membership value-added services are simply the most cost-effective value-added products on the entire Internet. Although more expensive value-added services have been launched, the various services provided are also growing simultaneously, and there is no compulsion. It will not cause any resistance among users.
As soon as YY completed the adjustment, Li Mu immediately tried to register and log in using an overseas server. He checked the membership value-added service page and the smoothness of Paypal payment. Everything was very smooth and there were no incompatibility issues.
This is the first time YY has made active adjustments to overseas markets. Li Mu believes that this move will definitely allow YY to bring a higher favorability to users in overseas markets. This is the case for any consumer. They are happy to meet merchants or product developers. , make changes and optimize products according to their needs. The more they feel valued, the more favorable and loyal they will be to the company and products.
At this time, the U.S. market has not responded immediately.
Most of the elites have not yet started their day's work due to the time difference. Li Mu decided to post the news about YY's access to Paypal and the comprehensive upgrade of member value-added services at 10 a.m. local time in San Francisco and Washington. At this time, The elites must have started a busy day of work, and YY, as one of their most important office tools at the moment, must be kept on at this time. As long as a prompt pops up at this time, it will be closed if you don't click it. The pop-up advertisement that has been floating in the lower right corner is sure to attract the attention of all users.
After Li Mu handed over all the work, he returned home to rest. Although he was also looking forward to feedback from the American market, after all, there was a time difference here. It would be better for him to wait until he woke up before paying attention to overseas feedback.
The time in the eastern United States where New York and Washington are located is three hours ahead of the western region where San Francisco is located. Eleven o'clock in the evening Beijing time is exactly ten o'clock in the morning in Washington.
A large number of white-collar and gold-collar workers working in New York have already sat in front of the computer and started working all day. Today's work is no different from before. Everyone is still advancing the things in their hands according to their own rhythm.
As an iconic product for white-collar workers, YY is now very common among the entire New York elite. After turning on the computer, everyone will subconsciously log into their own YY before starting a day's work.
At ten o'clock sharp, a pop-up window popped up on everyone's YY account. The overview of the message immediately attracted the attention of all overseas YY users.
"Dear American users, we are happy to tell you that YY has fully supported Paypal payment. At the same time, in order to better meet your needs, we have comprehensively upgraded our member value-added services to support more automatic payments. Define selections, click for details… ”
Although the push is launched for American users during this time period, this pop-up prompt will be continuously pushed to users all over the world in the next period of time, starting with New York, and every local time At ten o'clock in the morning, it will be pushed according to the login IP of overseas users. It will first go around the earth's time zone. At nine o'clock in the morning, Yanjing time, which is ten o'clock in the morning in Tokyo and Seoul, users in Japan and South Korea will receive it. Related push, and at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, VIP users among domestic users will be pushed separately.
Most of the domestic market is ordinary users, and the membership payment ratio is not high. However, Li Mu does not want to develop in-depth value-added services now, because the big environment has not yet arrived, and encouraging users will arouse resentment. If prompts for users to upgrade to VIP pop up every now and then. , which is a harm to most users.
…
When white-collar workers in major office buildings in New York discovered the YY pop-up window, they felt particularly happy at the first sight.
YY supports Paypal payment! This means that it will be much more convenient for everyone to recharge YY membership in the future, and they no longer need to go to eBay to find scalpers to help recharge.
In addition, a foreign software is connected to the payment channel of the country, which in itself will bring a great sense of vanity to the users of the country, just like the Apple App Store finally supports Alipay recharge after many years, which will bring a great sense of vanity to China. For users, it is not only much more convenient, but also feels more favorable towards the Apple Store.
Moreover, this time YY not only supports Paypal payment, but more importantly, YY has comprehensively upgraded its member value-added services!
For the American elite, they have always felt that the privileges of YY membership are not enough. Some people need to send a lot of offline files every day, some people need to create more groups, some people need longer video calls, etc. , everyone has always hoped to have a customized system that allows everyone to customize according to their own needs.
After the user curiously clicked on the details page, he discovered that this time YY's membership value-added service jumped directly from version 1.0 to version 5.0, because Makino Technology is just like an American communications operator, launching various profiles for customers. monthly subscription service, and all service orders are clearly marked with prices, which is equivalent to transforming a convenience store that only sells instant noodles into a completely self-service restaurant.
The amount of each seasoning in instant noodles is fixed, and the number of fried noodles is also fixed. Users can eat as much as they want, but it is impossible to add more if they are not enough, unless they buy another box and mix it by themselves;
All the food in the cafeteria is listed and placed there. Users can eat whatever they want and as much as they want. If they are not enough, they can come back again until they have enough.
Therefore, these two service models represent a world of difference to users.
This immediately got users in New York excited because they realized, this is fucking awesome! All their needs have been solved by YY in one step. Although various added services also represent an increase in price, to them, this little money is nothing at all. It can only cost a few dollars or even more than ten dollars a month. It can greatly improve work efficiency. For these white-collar workers whose monthly salary is thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, it is as cost-effective as picking it up for free.
Less than 24 hours ago, Ben. Clarkson’s article made all American elites feel the same. Ben. Clarkson is the first American to speak directly to YY in the media, and he is also a very famous person in the IT technology media field. As the editor-in-chief of Youwei, everyone is hoping that Ben. Clarkson’s articles will be seen by Makino Technology and Li Mu. It is best to get enough attention from Li Mu to provide members with richer customization according to Ben. Clarkson’s needs. Serve.
But they never dreamed that in less than a day, the Chinese people would respond with practical actions!
At first, users in New York thought that this should be Ben. Clarkson’s appeal that had an effect. However, some people soon figured out the time difference. No matter how simple Paypal’s payment access is, it can never be implemented in one day. , and such a complex value-added service customization standard, even if it can be finalized in one day, it is difficult to develop the entire set of standards into the product in one day. Therefore, judging from this time point, Huaxia people at least a few days ago It's already being planned.
After understanding this, users in New York and in the same time zone as New York couldn't help but sigh. YY is indeed the world's leading super product. Their product thinking is too advanced, and their concept is also extremely focused. It can be said in four words: user Supreme!
The entire product surprises users at all times. They not only develop product functions that users could not imagine before, but also create effects that users could not imagine based on the product functions that users can imagine. The latest membership value-added The service system is the most typical example. Users only want one more product on top of one product. YY directly puts hundreds or thousands of products in front of users: "Use it however you want, whatever you want."
When Ben. Clarkson went out to get ready for work, it was already 12:30 in New York, and it was just 9:30 in Silicon Valley on the west coast of the United States.
Ben. Clarkson lives in a business community near Silicon Valley. It only takes less than 20 minutes to drive to the company. At 9:30, he went out and got into the car before starting the engine. He suddenly received a call from his assistant. , on the phone, his assistant said hurriedly: "Ben, YY already supports Paypal!"
"How is it possible..." Ben. Clarkson blurted out subconsciously: "Not to mention the contract process, just the development of the payment page and the debugging of the interface will take several days to complete. I just posted that article yesterday..."
The assistant said: "It's absolutely true! Not only does it support Paypal payment, they have also launched a very complete and highly customizable member value-added service system, which is much more complete than the suggestions you mentioned in the article. .”
Ben.Clarkson sighed: "That Li Mu is simply a genius! He must have thought of me a long time ago! My article was just a self-humiliation..."
The assistant said: "This is not a self-humiliation. I can only say that you are both awesome and thought of going together."
Ben.Clarkson was very impressed by this sentence, and he felt pleased with himself, and asked him: "By the way, have you tested it? Is the payment smooth?"
The assistant said: "I haven't waited for the push from YY yet. They use the local time of 10 a.m. of the user's IP address as the node to officially push the message. The New York side has received the push two and a half hours ago. I asked After talking to friends in New York, they said it is very easy to use, and they also told me about the membership value-added service system. Come to the company as soon as possible, and you should be able to receive the push notification in about 20 minutes!"
Ben. Clarkson subconsciously started the car and blurted out: "We'll be there soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the car suddenly sprang out and went straight to the magazine where Ben. Clarkson worked...
