The battle between Hapi.com and QQ Space for users shows no signs of stopping.

The two families were ready to fight to the death, and both sides were clearly aware of this.

On the Penguin side, QQ Space is an important project of Penguin. We have invested enough energy in it and it must not end in a hasty manner.

As for Qingzhou, Hapi.com is Qingzhou's only and most important platform for attracting users. If Penguin takes the lead, the consequences will be irreversible. This gives them a reason to spare no effort.

End of the year.

This winter is not as cold as last year.

As Plants vs. Zombies became popular, a new game suddenly went online on QQ Space——

Grab a parking space.

Everyone has a parking lot with three parking spaces, and the system also gives away a second-hand Alto.

Parking your car in someone else's parking lot can earn you "cash" income, which can be used to buy a higher-level car.

Rumor has it that as long as you are rich enough, you can buy a golden car worth more than 200 million yuan.

With the rise of web games, parking space grabbing has become a game that many users play to kill the remaining time after stealing vegetables.

Don’t underestimate this small piece of fragmented time, it’s how user stickiness is created.

Many visionary leaders in the industry seem to have foreseen that in the future, users of Hapi.com may experience the parking space grabbing game on QQ Space out of curiosity, and then become dual game users of Hapi Farm and QQ parking space grabbing. In the later stage, due to the trouble of logging in back and forth, they will gradually become users of QQ Space and abandon Hapi.com.

Therefore, the launch of Penguin's parking space grabbing device can be said to be a great success.

Zheng Zhihao, who was in charge of the development of the parking space grabbing project, was even more prominent within Penguin.

Many media also see this as a major victory for QQ Farm in its competition with Hapi.com for users.

The marketing of clickbait headlines is everywhere.

"A generation of "heroes" fell, ten inevitable reasons for the shutdown of Hapi Farm", "Analyzing the rise and fall of Hapi.com from a psychological perspective", "Today, Hapi Farm is facing a cold winter".

Many people are looking forward to what kind of counterattack Hapi.com will make.

However, what Hapi.com did next was so simple and crude that it was beyond everyone's expectations.

One week after going online to grab a parking space on QQ space.

Internet users including students and urban white-collar workers have given clear feedback that they all like the game of grabbing parking spaces, which is based on social relationships.

The user activity of QQ space has increased, and the growth rate of new users has also become much faster.

Just as Zheng Zhihao was opening the champagne himself at the celebratory dinner, an employee came over and told him something out of the blue -

Hapi.com has launched a game called “Occupy Parking Space”.

Zheng Zhihao was completely dumbfounded.

He first suspected that an internal employee had leaked company secrets.

After all, the development of the parking grab has always been carried out in secret.

Even if you work overtime and without sleep for a week at Hapi.com, it is impossible for you to produce a stable parking space reservation app, right?

Unless you have already started doing it!

This possibility cannot be ruled out, because the origin of this parking space grab is not very glorious.

However, the Ministry of Justice’s investigation was given priority.

The branch company of QQ Space was in a state of panic for a while.

As a computer practitioner who signed a confidentiality agreement before joining the company, leaking company secrets would definitely put one at risk of ruining his or her reputation.

Moreover, given the strength of Nanshan Pizza Hut's legal department, there would be absolutely no problem in giving you a pair of small handcuffs.

After a long, one-on-one conversation that made every employee anxious and worried, Penguin did not find any problems internally.

On the contrary, the "Parking Space Occupancy" game of Hapi.com was launched smoothly during the period of internal turmoil at Penguin, and its subsequent performance was very good.

Although the speed at which the number of users is increasing is still not comparable to that of Penguin, this is mainly because QQ Space, backed by its own chat software, already has a huge number of traffic groups. The number of middle and high-level users who are truly willing to share and interact is actually completely incomparable to Hapi.com.

And after Zheng Zhihao personally experienced the struggle of fighting for a parking space, that bad feeling came back again.

Imaginative module function development and incredible iteration speed

To be honest, he was amazed by this "copied from them" parking space grabber.

As for imitation, his answer was that the starting point of Hapi.com and Penguin was the same, which was why they released this app with more functions a week after QQ Space.

Occupying a parking space.

What's even more troubling to him is how should he deal with it now?

In the previous "war", Penguin has always played the role of a powerful latecomer in the industry, challenging the industry pioneer Hapi.com in farm projects.

But now.

Is Hapi.com going to challenge them in the parking space project as a latecomer in the industry?

Many people need several days to get used to changing their posture. It would be very difficult for them to adapt to the new fighting position suddenly.

In the past, they didn’t need to consider anything else. They just borrowed whatever was available on Hapi.com.

But now.

They had the upper hand and occupied the moral high ground.

But faced with an "imitator" that seems to be better than himself.

The simplest way, of course, is that if you have it, I must have it too.

But this will put them in a very embarrassing situation.

They could have shamelessly stood on the moral high ground and condemned Hapi.com through public opinion.

But what if they also imitate the functions of the "imitator"?

So from the perspective of outsiders, isn't this also a kind of being both right and wrong?

The impact of public opinion, the damage to the brand and even the damage to his personal reputation are all things Zheng Zhihao can imagine.

at the same time.

This incident still caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.

"Epi" and "Hapi" are confronting each other, and the main battlefield of public opinion is the most popular forum at the moment.

"Ha, you're really good at stealing vegetables, you're stealing other people's games too, right?"

"The farm was previously sold to Penguin by Hapi.com, but now it is blatantly plagiarizing it?"

"Habi, talk!"

"Don't the little bastards say every day that our family was robbed? Your master did it himself. Is this human nature?"

From the perspective of the fans who are mainly "epi", the whole incident is not as complicated in their eyes as Zheng Zhihao's. It can be summarized in one sentence -

Hapi.com copied my game!

It can be said that the goose criticism has always been slightly inferior to the hard criticism in the confrontation of public opinion.

After all, the QQ Farm they support is an independent channel split from the Hapi Farm.

And the most important thing is that in the subsequent function updates, most of the functions will first be logged in to Hapi.com, and then will appear in QQ Farm after a few days.

Therefore, the accusation of plagiarism was put on their heads for a long time.

Now, they can finally give their enemies a taste of their own medicine.

This allowed them to vent a lot of their resentment.

The heat of denouncing Hapi.com is boiling on the Internet, and the Hapis who are fighting against the wind don’t quite understand Hapi.com’s behavior. They don’t understand why it plagiarized Penguin, and some people are even a little disappointed with Hapi.com.

The main force of Hapi.com disappeared from the Internet in an instant.

Such a favorable wind environment made the geese feel elated for a moment.

However, many Penguin fans also found it strange, wondering why the main Penguin had not spoken out yet and had their legal department take action.

They seemed to have remained silent, as if they didn't want the matter to become too popular.
At an Internet conference in the last few days of 2009, Su Yu, vice president and spokesperson of Hapi.com, accepted an exclusive interview with Sina.

The interview video soon leaked online.

The interviewer's words were very tricky and sharp.

"The boss of Hapi.com has always been very low-key. Ms. Su, can you tell us a little about his identity?"

"I don't think it's possible, but if Hapi.com has the opportunity to ring the bell on Nasdaq in the future, it will definitely appear in front of everyone. I hope everyone will support Hapi.com and let us go public as soon as possible."

"Recently, the game Parking Space Occupancy has triggered a phenomenal gaming craze. Can you tell us about Hapi.com's ideas for making this game?"

“Occupying parking spaces was included in the list of projects on Hapi.com a long time ago.”

"But now there are many voices on the Internet saying that occupying parking spaces is a result of plagiarism from Penguin. How does Ms. Su view this issue?"

"This is completely slanderous. I can produce many documents and files to prove that Hapi.com has been developing the occupied parking spaces for a long time. If anyone says this again, Hapi.com will pursue legal responsibility."

"And about the plagiarism, if there is a chance, I still have a lot of topics about Hapi Farm that I want to discuss with Penguin. Although I am not good at speaking, I still like their many micro-innovations on Hapi Farm."

As soon as the video was broadcast, it received a huge number of views.

Su Yu's resolute reaction gave the Ha Pi people a shot in the arm.

The word "micro-innovation" that she jokingly said was also talked about by many netizens.

"Penguins like micro-innovation. As the saying goes, you can tell a child's future at the age of three and his character at the age of seven. Penguins start innovating right after they are born."

"HaPi.com has a ranch, and you guys also have a ranch. Please be innovative. Why not call it a cemetery?"

"As I said, only primary school students use QQ Space, adults really don't use it."

The video fermented, and what was even more surprising was that

During the interview, Su Yu's performance prompted many people to look for more of her previous interviews.

At first glance, I found that in many interviews, Su Yu always has an icy appearance like a queen and speaks in a weird way.

This kind of personality suddenly attracted a large number of strange fans, and many people began to declare that this female vice president was their ideal on earth.

"I really want to be treated weirdly by Sister Su Yu."

"Brother, move aside. It's my turn to be stepped on by Su Yu."

"Regret for creating Ah Li Jack Ma, not good at speaking Suha Pi."

This wave of pride among the users of Hapi.com was quickly met with a counterattack from the goosepi.com users.

"Copying is copying. If you have evidence, show it. You keep saying you have evidence but won't show it. You must be guilty."

"I am so angry that I feel cold all over in the hot summer. When will the awareness of copyright protection be awakened? When will the people stand up?"

"It's so funny, you say those who use QQ space are elementary school students? Sorry, I'm already a mother of two children."

The heat of public opinion continued to rise, with Hapi.com and Penguin at the center of the storm.

It's not all bad.

Although it received mixed reviews, Hapi.com still received a wave of free website promotion.

Two or three weeks later, the reversal of events suddenly occurred.

Within Penguin, Zheng Zhihao was forced to accept internal pressure from the company. After Hapi.com launched a 30-yuan parking pass activity, QQ Space finally couldn't hold back and launched the battle pass gameplay to grab parking spaces right after that.

The geese were silent, and for a moment they all felt sick as if they were stabbed in the back.

"Dad copied his son, awesome! You penguin are the best at playing."

"I'm really speechless, really. After I finish collecting this wave of vegetables today, I'll turn to the Hapi channel."

"It's so funny, Penguin never treats players as human beings, just leeks."

While some people are still wavering, and some are still stubborn and insisting on the theory that Hapi.com plagiarizes.

A piece of little-known knowledge gradually spread on the Internet, where the speed of transmission is not fast enough.

The cause was just a complaint on Tianya.

[How can they quarrel like this? Don’t you know the parking game on Facebook? 】

In a short while, the screenshot of this sentence was circulated wildly by netizens.

[The parking space grab is a penguin original creation? Stop making me laugh. 】

【Penguin: How can micro-innovation not be considered innovation? Innovation is our own.】

【Ma Teng went crazy after seeing this picture. 】

Netizens gradually learned about it through popular science.

It turns out that in foreign countries, which are separated from the other side of the ocean, there was already a parking space grabbing game long before Penguin launched the parking space grabbing game in China.

Therefore, the claim that Hapi.com copied Penguin does not exist at all.

This made the fans who had previously fought for the Penguins feel that their previous behavior of jumping around on the Internet was as funny as a clown.

Hapi.com was not affected. After all, they were launched amidst the public opinion of plagiarism, and players did not feel any disappointment.

The parking space grabbing game has been praised by the goose critics for several weeks and has been elevated to a high position.

Having lost the aura of the pioneers, the players suddenly felt a huge sense of gap.

Moreover, even at this time, people are still copying various activities to occupy parking spaces to grab parking spaces.

This caused disgust among many players.

After all, QQ Farm used to claim to be the channel service of Hapi Farm, but now the parking space grabbing game is really copying.

At the end of January, due to the large number of players quitting the QQ Space game, Zheng Zhihao was criticized within Penguin and was demoted from general manager to deputy general manager. The general manager of QQ Space was handed over to Penguin COO Zeng Liqing to take on the position concurrently.

In the spring of the following year, Zheng Zhihao resigned from his position as vice president of QQ Space, and a few days later, he led his team to join his old rival Qingzhou Network Company.

In April, Hapi launched a friend buying and selling game online.

You can buy and sell your friends as slaves. Their value will increase with each transaction, and you can also earn more "cash" by relying on your friends.

Once again, a phenomenal craze has been set off.

The user activity of Hapi.com has officially surpassed that of QQ Space.

The incredible rise of Hapi.com has become the stuff of legend.

Many people describe it as: Hapi.com rose to the top by stepping on Penguin.

Being able to step on a penguin is an achievement that many people cannot imagine.

After all, before this, Penguin's record was horrific. Companies such as MSN for chatting and 9game for games, which were considered the big brothers in the industry, almost all lost in the confrontation with Penguin.

Hapi.com has overcome a mountain that ordinary people think is almost insurmountable.

What is the next goal of Hapi.com?

There is a lot of discussion online.

One day when they were chatting, Su Yu asked Xu Cheng this question.

His answer was particularly clear.

This answer made Su Yu stunned for a few seconds, but it seemed so reasonable.

College entrance examination.

【Passed the review!!!】

First of all, I'm sorry

I was invited to eat copper hotpot yesterday.

Several people were in a small private room with the door closed.

No one thought there would be such a problem at that time.

As we all know, charcoal burning produces carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if inhaled into the human body in a closed environment.

Fortunately, I didn’t inhale much and nothing happened. I’m really lucky.
