What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Attention

WeChat has completed a new round of financing.

Yu Xing did not disclose the scale of this financing within the company, but whether it is the enthusiasm of IDG, Capital Today, Qiming Venture Capital, or Xiong Xiaoge, Xu Xin and Hu Xubo to visit each other, these are enough to inspire the enthusiasm of employees. .

Even, WeChat companies have experienced overtime work that has been repeatedly banned.

In response to this phenomenon, Yu Xing specially found Deputy Director Tan Ruize, hoping that he, who is responsible for the management of some technical teams, will not put too much pressure on everyone.

“Mr. Yu, there is no pressure, no pressure at all, it is all motivation!” Tan Ruize answered sincerely, “We are the most proactive company I have ever seen! I have given too many…”

The salary of WeChat companies is middle-to-high in the industry, while the core team is upper-to-high.

However, the options aspect is likely to be one of the best deals….

From February to September, WeChat companies sent options twice. When Kestrel invested $5 million for the first time, everyone calculated this matter and knew that the overall value was 16.75 million Huaxia coins, which was 7- 200,000.

Such numbers belong to…

According to the evaluation of Ge Zhijie, a technical director who came from a large factory, “it’s okay”.

However, Kestrel soon added $5 million for the second time, and the value of the options in everyone’s hands clearly doubled.

Even Ge Zhijie cannot be underestimated and evaluated.

Later, although Mr. Yu did not announce the financing this time, the value of the options in his hand must still increase, right?

How much is it worth now?

Assuming that the increase is 50%, the total value of the options issued will also be 25.92.9*1.5=38.8935 million, which is 210,000-600,000 for individuals.

What if it is not 50%, but higher?

What if there is another financing?

Everyone knows that the company was established just before the New Year, but now it has not ended for a year. The valuation has been rising rapidly. There are only four words to describe – the future is promising!

However, these inflated numbers are just paper wealth, and whether options can be cashed depends on the company’s final result.

The boss is willing to issue options, but can he exchange options for money alone?

Isn’t it necessary for everyone to work overtime?

Based on this situation, the employees of WeChat company have almost truly achieved the mentality of breathing, sharing the same destiny, promoting more and working together.

Everyone is for me, I am for everyone!

Sweat in pain today, and be rich tomorrow!

Yu Xing is indeed willing to issue options, but it is quite surprising to see such an effect, so he understands the technical team that always quickly solves various problems of feedback from various feedbacks.

The company’s employees are making efforts. As the boss, he also actively uses his influence at this stage and goes to Oriental TV to record “You’re the One” every week.

Unlike before, Yu Xing recently appeared on stage as the CEO of WeChat. When talking about this latest incubated product, he was firmly positioned on campus, and only said that this is a gadget that is convenient for students to use.

Of course, whether viewers who watch the show will use it is another matter.

Yu Xingjue didn’t mention Penguin, and even rarely participated in the discussion of the current 3Q dispute. At most, he talked about Feixin, criticized mobile’s slowness, and talked about the increasingly surging development of the mobile Internet.

At the same time, the WeChat company that received the capital injection is already talking about larger-scale Internet promotion, and is ready to face the most powerful competitors with the fullest spirit when it can’t hide it.

When will Penguin notice the development of WeChat? This is actually something that Yu Xing is curious about, but he can’t verify it. He only wrote down such an idea in his notebook, intending to wait for more information to appear afterwards before pieced together this period of time. Complete situation.

However, in fact, some employees of Penguin have noticed the emergence of WeChat companies, which was earlier than Yu Xing imagined.

On September 2nd, Peng Rongxuan, the deputy director of Penguin Games promotion, downloaded WeChat when he was sending his child to school.

Before this day, he had never heard of the name “WeChat”. When he downloaded the iPhone in the Apple Store, he saw that there were not many reviews on this software, so he didn’t care too much.

By the middle of the month, Peng Rongxuan wanted to ask a few questions about his child’s campus life while having dinner in the evening, but suddenly noticed something. The software he subconsciously opened was WeChat.

I didn’t make a phone call, didn’t send a text message, didn’t use QQ, and I pressed my finger to WeChat.

Peng Rongxuan was stunned at this moment.

Then, after asking about his child’s college adaptation, he asked an extra question: “Does the classmates use WeChat more in your class?”

“A lot, most of them are used, and there are also class groups.”

Peng Rongxuan looked at the answer, thought for a while before asking, “Why use it?”

“It’s easy to be troublesome, convenient, nothing else.”

Peng Rongxuan frowned.

The next day, he learned about the situation of this software and learned that it was an internal project incubated by Yu Xingxin, the founder of Baixiaosheng, and was positioned as a campus college student group.

After careful consideration, Peng Rongxuan went to his colleague to discuss this matter.

However, when he opened the Apple store in his hand to display relevant comments, he suddenly noticed a detail.

“I remember when I first downloaded it, the number of comments in this software was about 800. Now it’s only two weeks, and the number of comments has reached 4,000! Song Tong, do you know how to calculate the approximate amount of comments in the Apple Store? How many software downloads?”

Song Tong didn’t know, but she knew which colleague knew about this. Sun Liyang, who was pulled over, was easily given an experience in the face of the problem: “4,000 items, this kind of communication tool software, the download and comments are estimated to be 30-50 times, well, you can take the intermediate value. 40 times, every 1 comment is 40 downloads.”

The number growth in two weeks became clear at a glance.

32,000 → 160,000.

A growth of about 5 times!

The three of them looked at the picture that was drawn by Peng Rongxuan and looked at a positive growth curve, and felt a faint strangeness in their hearts.

“This WeChat is a campus, and is it growing a little faster than Feixin?” Song Tong hesitated and said in a low voice, “The threat is definitely not threatening QQ, but the speed of this software, well, this, So fast!”

How could a new software affect QQ?

This is inevitable confidence!

but…

“I went to send my child to school with my brother at the beginning of the month, why didn’t I see WeChat promotion on campus?” Sun Liyang was a little puzzled.

The strange feeling in Peng Rongxuan’s heart suddenly became stronger.

He simply found several colleagues who had children or relatives and friends in college recently and were surprised to find out… Some people know, some people don’t know, the former entered the university campus in the north-north region, while the latter was in Guangdong Province and Around Pengcheng.

The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥

“What can this prove?” Seeing the result after the sampling, Song Tong asked Peng Rongxuan with a serious expression in confusion.

“This proves that WeChat, an instant messaging software that claims to be benchmarked against Feixin, is likely to deliberately bypass the area we are in.” Peng Rongxuan said word by word, “What are it concerned about? What do you want to do? ”

Song Tong shook his head and smiled: “There are too few samples and the conclusion is too ridiculous. Are you saying that this WeChat is not a benchmark for Feixin, but a benchmark for our QQ? Rather than saying that it is bypassing our area, it is better to say that its headquarters is in Shen. Because of limited funds, the city can only promote the area around it.”

Peng Rongxuan seemed to be right when he listened to this logic.

Sun Liyang tried the WeChat he had just downloaded on his phone and said without raising his head: “Brother Xuan, your conspiracy theory is unreliable. Unless Yu Xing is crazy, it is impossible to think about competing with us, but… ”

Peng Rongxuan looked over.

Sun Liyang smiled and said, “However, this software is quite silky. Go back and ask if you can make a similar one next door. It is estimated that there will be a lot of downloads.”

Peng Rongxuan was opposed by two colleagues. When he recalled his guesses, he felt it was a bit outrageous. In addition, he was quite at ease with his ability to make similar competitors.

However, after this day, he has been paying attention to the movements on WeChat outside of work, collecting relevant information, and then checking whether his logic is correct.

The more you collect this, the more you feel something is wrong.

Peng Rongxuan patiently searched the information displayed on the forums and post bars of colleges and universities in different regions, and found that WeChat still seemed to be walking around Guangdong Province and Pengcheng, and different Android application markets appeared quickly like Apple Stores. increase.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was on three days off. When the holiday returned, as of September 25, the Apple Store was vaguely estimated to have more than 200,000 downloads, and the Android application markets such as Wandoujia and Anzhi Market doubled by at least 400,000. In addition to the difficult-to-count Symbian version of WeChat, as well as the opaque offline promotion of WeChat companies…

Pinpin on the left and right, the user scale of WeChat is likely to have exceeded one million!

If based on this number…

Peng Rongxuan re-examined the software that is said to be benchmarking against Feixin and gave a new definition – this is a free instant messaging software with 1 million users and focuses on mobile Internet.

Is it still benchmarking Fexin?

Or is it just killing Feixin?

Peng Rongxuan didn’t know if his brothers’ departments had noticed the rapid development of WeChat, but after thinking about it, he sorted out the information he collected recently, wrote a related report on WeChat, one sent to the B3 on the head, and the other sent to the The R1 next door—that is, the QQ-related instant communication line.

1 million users, instant messaging, rapid development…

The keywords from the report attracted a certain attention from the instant messaging product department, and after a simple investigation, it recognized the certain threat of external competitors. Immediately, more information was integrated into the report and forwarded to the department general manager Yin Yu.

However, before Yin Yu could notice this report, 360, which has been clamoring with Penguin recently, suddenly released a software called “QQ Bodyguard” late at night on September 30, including but not limited to blocking Q show. Software advertising, mini home page pop-up windows and news pop-ups.

It is better than the privacy protector launched previously, and it is like a sharp arrow shooting into the heart of the penguin, instantly robbing the attention of the penguin senior executives and also bringing the in full swing of 3Q to its most sharp moment.

That night, Penguin executives worked overtime overnight to discuss the opponent’s actions and standards of counterattacks, and many employees were temporarily cancelled their holidays.

“what’s on your mind?”

On the first day of the National Day holiday the next day, Liu Wanying saw Yu Xing staring at the laptop screen and asked this question.

Yu Xing pointed to the discussion of the QQ bodyguard in his forum and said seriously: “The blood is coming…”
