What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 264
Chapter 264 China Third (5k)
Haiyan has produced a Dr. Yu, and a young man has emerged in the entrepreneurial circle.
With the rapid publication of NetEase’s exclusive interviews and the unstoppable popularity, the news that WeChat users doubled to 4.19 million quickly hit all parties concerned about this matter.
Unlike the melon-eating crowd, and the joke of WeChat taking over last time, the shocking increase from 2.07 million to 4.19 million has begun to make the industry think seriously. It won’t really make this young man make mobile IM tools?
The user scale of 2 million is already good in other fields, but to challenge Penguin, it may only enter the threshold that can be seen directly after the initial surprise.
It also requires strength to joke about penguins, otherwise, there will be no public opinion in this recognized field at all.
However, from 2XX to 4XX, WeChat only took four days, with an average daily increase of 530,000 yuan. If this trend can be maintained, wouldn’t it be for 10 million this month?
Software with more than 10 million users in the field of instant messaging…
According to such standards, who else in China?
The first one is QQ, the second one is Fexin, and then…
It’s gone!
Even if the standards are reduced, who will have more than 4 million users in the country?
From this point of view, it doesn’t take until the end of the month. China’s third largest instant messaging software has been released!
There is no attribution, and there is no need to distinguish between PC and mobile, it is China’s third communication software!
Before October, who was WeChat?
After October, China is third.
The nature of things seems to be different.
According to NetEase’s report, “For WeChat, this is a dazzling start. I asked Yu Xing if he knew that WeChat was already the third in China. He shook his head and then answered me thoughtfully, mainly because there were too few players in this field, and Penguin could cheer, their opponents were the last in China.”
“Yu Xing found good news for his opponent who was deeply involved in criticism.”
“Perhaps it is precisely because he is good at thinking from the perspective of others that he dares to find breakthroughs in the market monopoly of Penguin, and to make users recognize WeChat.”
“Before I officially interviewed Yu Xing, I and my colleagues tried WeChat, and I also saw many ordinary users’ evaluations, which are generally simple, concise and smooth. Compared with QQ’s fancyness, this may be the product that some people need.”
“Yu Xing’s entrepreneurial history is not long, but before he ‘offended’ Penguin this time, he was an entrepreneur who made many people frown.”
“WeChat company comes from Bai Xiaosheng’s incubation, and Bai Xiaosheng has caused Yu Xing to receive a lot of criticism. He did not respect his predecessors and criticized Tang Jun’s academic qualifications in sharp words. He was under pressure from shareholders and recklessly revealed the entrepreneurial projects under the same investor.”
“He took the stage to recruit job seekers because he couldn’t bear it. He had to upgrade his website technology because he was dissatisfied. He stumbled and sold the hard work of Guiai.com and Bipriet.com.”
“Looking at Yu Xing’s development after abandoning medicine and going to business, he still adheres to his many years of medical research, uses a lancet to accurately analyze the industry structure, and uses a microscope-like detailed insight into user needs. He is not a business elite in the traditional sense, but more like a reckless man who only looks at the target and runs desperately!”
“However, without such a reckless man, WeChat would not have come into being.”
“The smoke of the 3Q war has not yet dissipated, and monopolists still use binding users to build high walls. They conquer each other on billions of computer screens without permission. I’m afraid that only white-robed knights like Yu Xing can tear open the cracks in the iron wall with minimalist design philosophy.”
“The medical field is just missing a pathologist, but there is an extra business hero who dares to fight.”
“Our business environment requires someone like Yu Xing who dares to tell the truth and fight.”
“I asked him at the end of the interview if he was satisfied with my evaluation. He thought for a while and added four words, so…”
“Our business environment requires someone like Yu Xing who dares to tell the truth, fight, and dares to fail.”
NetEase’s exclusive interview content boasted about Yu Xing, who founded WeChat, but what made the melon-eating crowd talk about the most was the title of its report – “Old Horse Lost and Yu Gong Moves Mountain”.
As a famous joke leader on Weibo recently, Yu Xing has inspired many audiences to make jokes.
So, similar titles and interesting comments were quickly added in his comment section.
“This wave, this wave, is called Yu Yuelongmen!”
“Faced with the threat of penguins, the doctor is Yu Zhan and Yu Yong!”
“Dr. Yu, I have recommended WeChat to my aunts and aunts. Don’t worry, I will help you, and I will definitely let WeChat Yu Zhuqingtian!”
“I heard that Dr. Yu refused Penguin’s acquisition at the first time, but the WeChat of 2 million users did not make Penguin persist. Is this 4 million okay? Dr. Yu, on behalf of Penguin, I would like to advise you, if you surrender with etiquette, you will still be granted the title of marquis and ministers!”
NetEase’s exclusive interview report has become a reference for the current situation of Yu Xing and WeChat, and it has been circulated in the Internet circle.
Excluding the praise and flattery in it, Yu Xing’s thinking about the market has made many companies eager to seriously consider whether to keep up with it.
Yu Xing can touch it, why can’t I touch it?
The progress of WeChat company is like a light that splits the inherent understanding. For example, Sina and Shanda are still having serious discussions, and Renren has officially launched the project that night!
In just a few days, WeChat’s incubation, starting and development have been very transparent, and Renren saw the complete route of WeChat companies using campus entry.
this…
If it is compared to the reputation of the campus, isn’t my Renren.com better than a new company like you?
I thought Penguin was incomparable in the field of communications, but the mobile Internet seems to be very different from PCs, so… WeChat is likely to be the forefront of the king, and “everyone chats” is the last true emperor!
Unlike Bai Xiaosheng, who is in Yu Xing’s hands, only has less than four million workplace user traffic, Renren’s user registration volume is as high as 170 million, which is regarded as one of the few who can compete with Penguin in the social field.
However, Renren is successful and has a campus success and failure… It is not considered defeat now, so it can only be said that transformation is more laborious.
When talking about heroes, Tao heroes, who is the hero?
Renren has launched a secret research and development plan.
At the same time, considering that WeChat is already a potential competitor, Renren’s website has also quietly deleted some of its promotional posts and reduced the push of related content.
…
“Tsk, dare to fail, Li Song, do you know why I have to vote on WeChat? I have to say that Yu Xing’s enthusiasm is indeed a big reason for me.”
Xu Xin is one of the people in the world who cares about WeChat the most, so she naturally saw the report from NetEase and was quite happy.
“If you dare to fail, you will be motivated?” Li Song shook his head and was puzzled.
“Dare to fail is Yu Xing’s own evaluation of him. I ask you, if you stand in Yu Xing’s position, can you try to communicate with Penguin’s pressure?” Xu Xin turned her head and looked at her husband, “Can you take out your revenue, resist the dissatisfaction of investors, and then find additional funds, and then carry out this kind of incubation?”
Li Song shouted “huh”.
Seeing that he was not convinced, Xu Xin continued, “This expectation of failure is by no means empty talk, but an attempt to fully think about and measure the market. He and Liu Jiankai talked about how to compete eight months ago. Although there are some differences now, they are generally consistent. It was February this year. Didn’t you ask me why I have always been unwilling to invest in you? Just because of you…”
She didn’t continue to say this, and saw that her husband’s face turned dark and she didn’t want to quarrel.
Li Song is more used to being hit by his wife. He put himself in his shoes and admitted helplessly that he really couldn’t do this, but everyone is not on the same track…
He still said with some dissatisfaction: “What’s so great about him to fail? What’s so happy about you? If you really fail, will you still lose your money?”
Xu Xin laughed: “Does he, Yu Xing, dare not fail, but I, Xu Xin, dare not fail?”
Li Song opened his mouth and couldn’t speak.
Sometimes he actually admires his wife very much.
Xu Xin carried a cup of tea and added casually: “Besides, if you really fail, it will be a loss to the money I raised.”
Li Song: “…”
“Entrepreneurship is a life-and-death life, and investment is almost the same.” Xu Xin said calmly, “Everyone investors and entrepreneurs will definitely do their best to succeed, but they will still fail in the end and accept it. JD.com will definitely go public in the next few years, and Tudou.com will go public next month. If we find the project that is ‘lifelong’, we can get benefits beyond ‘nine death’.”
WeChat may not be sure whether it can last a lifetime, but such a start and trend is worth a bet.
“You don’t think that a company like WeChat that has been in the past few months can really defeat Penguin, right? I can’t imagine that such a picture. Even whether WeChat can pass the Feixin level is a big question.” Li Song put forward such an idea after a while of silence.
“The matter is human. If Penguin’s own mobile transformation is slow, don’t blame others for coveting its position.” Xu Xin said disapprovingly, “Liu Jiankai has also asked Yu Xing similar questions about Feixin.”
Li Song said curiously: “What did he say? He is a set of one thing, is there any other three playing styles, three groups, etc.?” Xu Xin shook her head: “Yu Xing just said, don’t make things difficult for other people’s outsourcing companies.”
Li Song stumbled on these words, thinking about the internal interests of mobile, outsourcing settings, various hills and other issues, and suddenly wondered why Yu Xing’s words were so convincing?
“The profits of others coming to move mobile are others, and they are easily jealous of offending things within themselves. The mobile market is so big, it is not impossible to do it, and it hasn’t reached that moment.” Xu Xin smiled, “Penguin is different this time. WeChat is touching its core business. Hey, do you see, Yu Xing’s vertical segmentation analysis is really as accurate and sharp as the Lancet?”
Li Song couldn’t refute it.
Xu Xin said, “Next time I will meet Yu Xing and ask him to have a dissection of your company and see if there is any improvement.”
Li Song wanted to sneer, but he still endured it.
It’s okay to have a cut, what if, right?
The development of WeChat has taken over the banner of fighting in the 3Q war. With the emergence of various promotions, it seems that WeChat’s name is everywhere for a moment.
However, although 3Q ends substantially, it still needs a nominal ending.
On October 10, Industry and Information Technology took action, reported criticism, ordered the suspension, and asked both sides to do a good job in the aftermath, and publicly apologized to all users.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
That afternoon, Penguin and 360 apologized one after another, saying that they would humbly accept criticism, seriously implement follow-up work in accordance with the requirements, and summarize experiences and lessons learned from their mistakes.
At this point, an impressive Internet war officially ended.
This battle that swept through hundreds of millions of users’ computers has many details that are talked about. Many of them have just been revealed in the past two days. However, just that night, 360, which had already extinguished the war, pushed advertisements on a large scale.
—WeChat, the third largest communication software in the country!
—For free text messages, use WeChat software!
—Save SMS fees and use WeChat!
—The best mobile communication software in the country, used by family and friends!
360 is pushing WeChat!
To be more precise, 360, which has hundreds of millions of users, is pushing WeChat!
I apologized in the afternoon and passed on the skills to Penguin’s new opponent in the evening!
This is definitely not a painful lesson from 360 Company, it is definitely a painful lesson from Zhou Hongyi herself!
This time he hurts a little more than the company.
However, compared with the previous privacy protectors and QQ bodyguards, this kind of advertising does not violate normal business behavior. Even if Zhou Hongyi has a bad reputation, many people understand his revenge feeling after returning from losing contact.
What else can I do? I can catch someone with the surname Yu.
The 37th floor of Penguin Building has been working overtime during the National Day holiday. Yesterday, I finally got off work on time, but today it became a temporary seminar.
The increase in WeChat from 2 million to 4 million is directly reported to the general office. Although the range is indeed amazing, everyone can still accept it. However… The bodyguard before 360 can attract more than 15 million users within 48 hours. How will WeChat push this time?
The atmosphere of the meeting held by the General Office was relatively solemn.
Fortunately, there is good news. 360’s revenge operation this time still did not reach the point where the privacy protector and QQ bodyguard forcefully guide users regardless of 321.
Also, WeChat does not have a PC side, only mobile software, and the transmission effect of this kind of advertisement will not be that strong.
Furthermore, WeChat currently relies on the stock of smartphones, and iOS and Android phones are easier to download, but Saipan and counterfeit phones are quite troublesome, and their versions are also very different.
In short, WeChat’s 360 help does increase the level of threat, but it does not mean that it will collapse and tsunami.
The seminars and notifications at the General Office meeting made Penguin’s highest decision-making level much easier.
“We need to increase WeChat to 360 to treat it.” President Liu Chi-ping conveyed his meaning on behalf of Pony, “This is a tough battle that takes place on the mobile Internet. It is a market where we don’t have so many advantages. If we don’t pay attention to it today, we will face a decline like Nokia tomorrow, and we may collapse and die the day after tomorrow!”
As Penguin develops to the present, there are many internal problems, one of which is that the opinions of senior management are often inconsistent, and most of the company’s current revenue is still from the PC side, which objectively may bring obstacles to self-innovation.
Pony Ma looked at the expressions of everyone present quietly, and in one sentence everyone paid a significant attention: “Set up a mobile IM team and report it directly to me, and I will be responsible for it myself.”
The atmosphere in the conference room was condensed.
The head of the Chinese Internet giant is going to take action to catch the business.
The president Liu Chiping joined halfway. Although he has reached his current position and cannot fully motivate everyone, Pony, who founded Penguin, will never have this problem if he has made up his mind.
At 11 o’clock in the evening, the extraordinary meeting of the General Office ended.
Liu Chiping took the document and asked about an extra thing while walking: “Does Yu Xing also invite our external diagnostic seminar?”
Penguin reflects on itself, especially when they communicate and reflect on each other, one of the things they decide is not to close their eyes and ears, but to really listen to everyone’s thoughts.
However, the threat level of WeChat has indeed increased again.
“Please, I’m quite curious about what he thinks of Penguin.” Pony Ma shook his head, “If WeChat really wins, our company should really lose.”
Liu Chiping nodded, knowing that Pony’s confidence was still as unchanged as he did.
…
“360’s traffic is quite large, but unfortunately, the conversion effect is not as much as you imagined.”
In the early morning, Yu Xing was still full of energy. While observing the help from the new advertisement, he shared his ideas with Xiaoying.
“The advertisement itself is quite annoying, and the advertisement of 360 is particularly annoying.” Liu Wanying commented so, and asked again, “5 million is always broken, right?”
Yu Xing gave an accurate answer: “5.33 million.”
When Liu Wanying heard this number, she hesitated in her heart: “WeChat’s growth in the past few days is really fierce. Do you really feel that your hope is slim? Will you continue to raise big funds later?”
“It is definitely necessary to burn money. This is also the roughest way to acquire users, but it can only be put in the end.” Yu Xing was very calm, “No matter how you burn it, the penguin will only keep up and can burn more.”
The two of them seemed to have a mentality swap.
Yu Xing initially did not think that WeChat had hope, and it was a little shaken in the past few days. Now he re-thinks that WeChat’s destination is still used to create negative news, while Liu Wanying was touched by the increase of up to one million today.
He continued, “It is time for my thoughts to become clearer when things are done in detail. I still have to practice it. Don’t say that I win, it’s too difficult to be stalemate.”
Yu Xing sorted out his thoughts in his mind and talked about the company’s planned operations: “The growth of WeChat users is indeed good. I believe that we can use multiple versions to change at least to comparable levels for a period of time, but in the end, it will take time to find the buyer of Alibaba….”
The buyer is just planning, it is still an uncertain and unknown state.
“Aren’t you going to use penguins to raise the price?” Liu Wanying asked.
“Well, yes, but I’m afraid it’s not enough. Just like some of my delusions and underestimations about Penguins before, you see, how smart Pony Ma and Liu Chiping are, from their perspective, Ali must be smart.” Yu Xing pondered, “This matter needs to be operated.”
How to do it, I didn’t think of the answer during this call.
The next morning, when Yu Xing bought breakfast, he wanted to see what stuffing the buns were, and suddenly there was an electric current in his mind.
If you want the buyer to pay, you have to inspect the goods.
Alibaba’s strategy is still concentrated in e-commerce today. It has not yet had a large-scale collision with Penguin, so it may not be willing to be the takeover hero.
So, you can let Alibaba see the embarrassment after the social portal is controlled.
Wait until the appropriate node directly blocks Taobao’s links and only allows JD’s links to be shared freely.
Just one thing that is boring is enough to be unforgettable.
Yu Xing went upstairs while eating buns, and had a rough outline in his heart.
On October 11, at 8 o’clock in the morning, the founder of China’s third largest IM tool decided to unilaterally ban the No. 1 e-commerce in China.
