In most cases, individual destiny is changed not only through individual efforts, but also through the course of history. At the right time, the right place and the right people, the organic combination of the three is likely to change the existing society. If ordinary people can grasp the important historical opportunities in time and keep enough sensitivity, they can be promoted to the elite class, not to mention with their own efforts, at least. Successful entry into the country’s middle class should not be too much of a problem.
Imba, believe in recent days, most people in the circle of friends there must be some brush to trill overseas edition tiktok was banned in the us market rumors related, although it is just speculation and no real implementation into practical action, but such rumours for tiktok with Chinese background will certainly not a good news.
The big picture is that it’s not just bad news for Bytedance, a young company, but also bad news for any Domestic Internet company with overseas ambitions. As a successful sea products, if from the perspective of a large dimension, tiktok seems to be in recent years the domestic Internet sea enterprise only to take a foreign product, not just because of products unique algorithm advantage, more important is successfully break into the mainstream of the countries around the world of ordinary users circles today in overseas short video each big battle, Tiktok is off the charts.
According to the track of bytedance’s past products, once a product successfully takes a firm foothold in a certain market, the pace of commercialization will surely catch up with it quickly. Judging from the current situation, TikTok is obviously equipped with such conditions, if not for unfair policy reasons, Tiktok can definitely become a cash cow in ByteDance’s overseas revenue sector this year. But as things stand now, in all likelihood, that commercial vision will fizzle out, and being forced to sell TikTok is byteDance’s best bet.
Some may wonder why byteDance’s products are banned in the U.S. market, since they don’t work for the company and don’t pay their salaries. But is the truth really so simple?
First of all, according to the U.S. government needs banned tiktok because the software has the problem of privacy violations of the americans, would these private personal information sent to the domestic related department, the reality is, however, in order to dispel the doubts of the U.S. government, byte beat not only set up their own data centers in the United States, The government’s decision to ban TikTok when even the executive team is entirely American is clearly more than just a privacy issue.
China is real access to the Internet in 1994, exactly the Internet is an import, the birthplace of true is in the United States, was originally a military project sponsored by the U.S. government, then through participation from all social organization and perfect it gradually formed the pattern of the Internet today, it is relying on the advantage of the invention to the Internet, American technology companies have long been among the top tech companies in the world, as can be seen from global Internet rankings.
Because of this reason, the early Chinese Internet companies basically copied from America in both their business model and product form when they were founded. No matter taobao, QQ, meituan and Didi Dache are all imported products from overseas. The reason why these products can gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market, apart from the special national conditions, lies in the overseas technology giants do not pay attention to the local team. Otherwise, the overseas Internet giants will never give up an overseas market with billions of users.
Compared with billions of Internet users world wide scale, the scale of the billions of domestic users clearly not comparable, in bytes to beat CEO yi-ming zhang’s opinion, if a company don’t do globalization, so he can not be called a successful global company, more important is that as the mobile Internet dividend disappeared, without looking for the next market, Basically, the ceiling of the growth of the company will be very obvious. Therefore, after seeing the weak growth prospects of the domestic market, globalization will inevitably become an unavoidable threshold. To promote globalization, it is natural to have a head-on confrontation with the Internet giants in the overseas market.
In most cases, domestic companies have no chance of winning, but byteDance has managed to gain a firm foothold in mainstream overseas markets thanks to technological innovation. As the dominant social network in the US, Facebook has repeatedly developed short video apps with the same functions, but the average American user has never been impressed. Over time, not only has the user base not grown much, but TikTok has been growing rapidly. Faced with a tough competitor in the social space, Facebook’s CEO ended up repeatedly hyping TikTok’s privacy concerns and even invoking patriotism that ordinary Americans don’t like.
A year ago, such issues might not have made much of a difference, but now, as two of the world’s most important powers wrestle with each other, any small issue is likely to be amplified. Looking back the past few years, both from the very beginning of meng wanzhou event, or after a series of policies to ban huawei, to confrontation between the two powers diplomacy frequently, can feel, a faint gold development period of 20 years since China’s accession to the wto may have in the past, both trade and foreign relations, the next road line could be even stronger than before. Once an established superpower regards another rising developing power as a potential number one rival, it will not be ruthless in both economic and military terms, and huawei’s yesterday and TikTok’s today are very likely to become the tomorrow that some overseas enterprises must face.
Losing control of TikTok is nothing more than a minor setback on the road to globalization for byteDance, a company that has become a platform with a decent capacity to generate blood. In fact, what is more worrying is that the superpowers are using their global influence to exert invisible pressure on other countries, repeating the iron Curtain speech of the last century, which can be regarded as a disaster to both countries and enterprises to some extent.
Perhaps to prepare for such a scenario, a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a few days ago made a special summary: “Meeting pointed out that the current economic situation is still complicated and severe instability and uncertainty is larger, we encountered a lot of problems is medium to long term, from the Angle of the protracted war must be understanding, speed up the formation of domestic large cycle as the main body, domestic and international dual cycle promotes mutually, the new development pattern of epidemic prevention and control and long-term economic and social development work coordination mechanism, We will adhere to the strategic direction of structural adjustment, rely more on scientific and technological innovation, improve the design and adjustment of cross-cycle macro regulation, and achieve a long-term balance between ensuring steady growth and guarding against risks.”
Judging from the summary of this meeting and the experience of Bytedance’s overseas product TikTok, such things may become more common in the future. Otherwise, the central government would not have put forward the initiative of “accelerating the formation of a new development pattern with domestic major cycles as the main body and domestic and international double cycles promoting each other”.
Even if byteDance’s globalization strategy fails completely, as long as it can firmly grasp the market of 1.4 billion people, no matter how the external environment changes, the company can still live a very prosperous life, which is just a lower ceiling for development and a smaller space for imagination.
However, for ordinary people, the continuous failure of the overseas strategy of Domestic Internet enterprises means that the degree of internalization of domestic enterprises will continue to increase. After all, when the Internet dividend disappears, the revenue growth of one enterprise often comes at the expense of the revenue decline of another enterprise. If such a scenario really occurs, by then I am afraid that the 996 working mode, which is despised by the majority of Internet practitioners today, may become a normal situation.
Conclusion: In today’s era of unprecedented changes, we are not only the witnesses, participants, creators of history, but also the masters of our own destiny. Only with the ability to see the autumn in one leaf, can we continuously enjoy the dividend of this era.
