What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 265
Chapter 265 Analytical
WeChat company has been fully promoted, and it is extremely busy from top to bottom, especially Yu Xing.
So much so that Liu Wanying pushed him twice before seeing him during the day.
In the first week after the National Day holiday, WeChat company still maintained extremely high exposure, partly because its rivals and the storm in the past are too eye-catching.
Another part of the reason is the product power of WeChat itself, which can really save on SMS fees.
However, on October 12, the WeChat software experienced a two-hour message delay, which inevitably magnified the technical problems under the attention. It was also this failure that everyone suddenly realized that this company, which is already the third largest instant messaging company in China, has only been established for half a year.
On Sunday evening, Liu Wanying met Yu Xing at the presidential office of WeChat.
“Mr. Yu is so busy.” Liu Wanying said calmly when she met, “Your secretary knows where you are.”
Yu Xing spread his hands and smiled and said, “No, you, the Kestrel BOSS and WeChat shareholder, aren’t you jealous of a little secretary?”
“Hey! You didn’t look at the look she gave me last time… Forget it…” Liu Wanying’s emotions, which were about to rise and fall, suddenly stabilized.
Yu Xing took two sips of tea and said, “Tell me, I’ll listen.”
“There is nothing to say.” Liu Wanying said viciously, “No matter what you, the secretary and the team leader, you will sell it all in one go.”
Yu Xing thought about it and simply ignored it and mentioned his thoughts on banning and inspecting goods.
After hearing this, Liu Wanying stood up and walked away, feeling that her dissatisfaction had disappeared.
It was hard for her not to exclaim, “How did you think of it?! Why are you so bad?!”
Yu Xing smiled and said about the inspirational breakfast buns, and said with a little smugness: “The ban you eat when eating buns is called…uh, that…”
Liu Wanying took the words: “It’s because of shit, right? It’s really disgusting!”
“It’s not disgusting. I just previewed the matter in advance for Alibaba. These two companies will definitely collide. When the collision occurs, who can still be gentle and elegant?” Yu Xing corrected his words.
Liu Wanying was walking in the office, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this kind of forced buying and selling really increased the success rate.
The domineering expansion that Penguin uses its own traffic has been said in the “Computer World” system. Although e-commerce is not mentioned in it, Penguin has tried this area a long time ago, and its Paipai.com is aimed at Alibaba’s Taobao.
Just like Penguin, Pony Ma himself will not be able to avoid foul water from Ali Jing in the future.
She thought for a while and asked, “Can we try to get Alibaba’s investment or resources, and lobbying methods are to use the inspection and inspection set you just mentioned?”
Liu Wanying was considering finding Alibaba as a backer and continuing to try to let WeChat company win this competition.
Yu Xing lit a cigarette and pondered, “I remember you asked me before, if Alibaba really bought WeChat, is it possible that it would win the Penguin.”
Liu Wanying nodded and asked herself that she was still in the planning stage for shorting Penguin at that time, so she naturally considered the follow-up.
Yu Xing smoked quietly, considering what words to use to express his ideas.
In fact, Alibaba has certainly tried mobile communications and launched “Lakeside” and “Lutong”, but it was all after Penguin’s WeChat overall situation has been decided, so it naturally far from meeting expectations.
Since then, Alibaba’s attempts to break through in the social field have basically failed, which has begun to make everyone judge the Internet gene theory. One type of gene can only do one type of thing well, while Alibaba has no gene for socializing.
But if the WeChat in your hand can be pushed to a situation where it is not at a disadvantage for the time being and then bought by Alibaba, can it win in the end?
After smoking the cigarette in his hand, Yu Xing said carefully: “Penguin does socializing, Alibaba does e-commerce, and their respective successful businesses are actually quite logically contradictory in the internal logic.”
Liu Wanying asked with interest: “What do you say?”
“Social networking is about maintaining interpersonal relationships. You see, many businesses on Penguin QQ revolve around this, but to put it bluntly, e-commerce is about buying and selling, and it is about making things around transactions.” Yu Xing said, “So, Alibaba’s Taobao and Taobao Mall are both tools designed around exchanges. For example…”
He thought for two seconds: “It’s like Thunder, it’s a very typical tool, and it has many users, but almost all users put it aside after downloading it. Who else does other business with it?”
“Whether Taobao or Alipay are tools created by Alibaba Group around e-commerce. The more successful it is, the more people are used to using it to buy and sell things. Who else uses it to socialize?”
“If Alibaba bought our WeChat and operated it according to its ideas, it would probably also serve its e-commerce service.”
“One is to build tools around relationships, and the other is to build relationships around tools. This is destined to be a completely different path.”
“There are internal logic differences in this kind of product positioning. Who do you think can win the competition?”
Liu Wanying thought seriously for a moment and felt that this positioning was quite in line with the two companies, but…
She said a little dissatisfied: “If you follow the logic, then there is no need to compete. Everyone can directly decide the outcome by placing the logic. You have to try it out before you know!”
Yu Xing smiled and said, “Yes, yes, yes, I just have to think like this. If you don’t think like this, I can’t sell it yet. As for you, you say you want to find Alibaba as your backer and ban it once. If it realizes the problem, it may have to hold important things directly in your hands or airborne team to help me manage it. That will be even more difficult.”
This idea is normal. He came to sort out the logic in the future and knew that Alibaba’s social attempts ended in failure. He believed that there were core essential factors, and those failures have not been put forward yet, so naturally there seems to be room for exploration.
Liu Wanying was amused: “Just say that Penguin is invincible in this regard. According to this logic, Alibaba’s e-commerce business obviously has a lot of room for growth. Even if WeChat is bought by it, it will definitely need to serve its own core business. In the end, it will still not escape the fate of the tool. Well, do you think if WeChat is integrated into Alipay, can there be traffic?”
She just said this, and before Yu Xing denies it, she first denied it: “No, right, Alipay is also a tool, and everyone will not socialize more on tools.”
“Our own analysis and judgment is just that. I don’t know whether Penguin is invincible in communication, but in terms of talent, others have it, it also has it, money, it still has it, and in terms of traffic, not to mention software functions, it can be replicated soon.” Yu Xing smiled, “It has it all, and the most important thing is that it can also directly import QQ messages to WeChat, which is unique but others cannot.”
When Liu Wanying heard the last sentence, she frowned and kept talking about Penguin traffic. Everyone was talking about promotion to users, and this directly connected the QQ and WeChat messages…
This unique traffic infusion is bound to be terrifying.
Liu Wanying sighed quietly: “Not only does it have it, it also has more than others. I can only say that the start of your WeChat company is too dreamy, and it is really too difficult for short sellers like me to do long. Penguin will not make mistakes.”
The Penguin who was originally hoping for had made a mistake, which was rejected by the two highest levels.
She shook her head: “Even from PC to mobile Internet, the giant Penguin really cannot challenge socializing.”
“Trying Penguin with communication is like challenging Alibaba’s Taobao with C2C. You know, they can do everything, you can do everything, you can do it, and you can do it, too.” Yu Xing said seriously, “So, logically, the one that can defeat Penguin will never be homogeneous communication software. It can only be something from another dimension to have hope.”
Liu Wanying suddenly said, “Those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die!”
She remembered the skynet that first chased Bai Xiaosheng, and it disappeared as if it was a similar problem.
Yu Xing nodded slightly.
Liu Wanying reviewed this logic and said with a little regret: “What is another set of things.”
Yu Xing smiled and said, “Then you have to play the role of your kestrel. If this goes well, we will have money to find and invest and another set of things to see if we can shake the giants. Investment is both easy and labor-saving. The heroes in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river.”
“How can there be so many good things?” Liu Wanying shook her head and said, “Even if you really find it, can you make it if you want to make it? Even if you really make it into it, what can you do if you think it is different from what you think?” She was just chatting and just said casually.
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.
Yu Xing frowned slightly and lit another cigarette.
Seeing this, Liu Wanying laughed in silence: “Are you really thinking about it? Where are you following?”
Yu Xing was really thinking about it, and he was a little embarrassed.
He took a few puffs of cigarettes and said with some criticism: “Hey, we are not really good at investing. Look at the investors I have come into contact with, they have dealt with Xu Xin the most. Her strong style has really deeply influenced me. Mr. Xu, she is just someone who wants to work hard to interfere in entrepreneurial projects.”
Liu Wanying laughed, “Anyway, Mr. Xu will influence people.”
Yu Xing also laughed, then crushed Yan: “Do your WeChat first, we must attack with all our might, and then see what will happen.”
Liu Wanying deeply agrees.
…
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The founder and shareholder of WeChat, or the two partners of Kushanfeng, need to judge the subsequent possibilities.
Similarly, investors who really pay money also need to conduct serious research and judgment.
On October 14, Xu Xin asked Liu Jiankai to come over and talk about the latest news.
“Next time, you ask Yu Xing whether WeChat can be announced every million, so there is no need to find nodes.” Xu Xin said this when talking about the number of WeChat users.
Two days ago, WeChat Company announced the latest number of users on its official website, which has changed from 4.19 million to 6.55 million.
Compared with the 2.07 million at the beginning of the month, this is more than three times the number, which is really dazzling.
Liu Jiankai agreed: “Okay, Mr. Xu, I will tell him.”
However, he then added: “I just don’t know if President Yu will listen to me…”
When Xu Xin heard this, she couldn’t help but drink a sip of tea. Indeed, saying that is to say, listening is to listen, and listening is to listen, and it is different.
“The user reached 6.55 million, but the increase on the 11th and 12th has dropped. There were 360 advertisements on the 10th, with a single-day increase of more than one million. That day was 114, the 11th became 63, and the 12th was 59. Putting aside the first support, there is still a slow downward trend.” Liu Jiankai talked about the specific data.
Xu Xin said “Hmm”: “It’s better than expected. Now I hope that these users will bring enough fission. Yu Xing also believes that the total number of users will see a significant accelerated growth when it reaches a certain number.”
Liu Jiankai talked about WeChat for a few words and suddenly said, “Our contract with WeChat has not been implemented yet.”
“Well, they are still talking. In addition to the number of users, one of the current objections is the issue of AB shares. I have unified the opinions with IDG and Qiming Venture Capital. The voting rights cannot be left.” Xu Xin said lightly.
The so-called AB shares are different rights, which allows entrepreneurs to hold only a small number of shares and have a majority of voting rights, thus controlling the company.
Liu Jiankai thought carefully: “Mr. Yu is also very persistent? His personality is relatively stubborn.”
“WeChat now needs funds, and we can provide funds with appropriate price points. This is the main thing. For other things, no matter how stubborn Yu Xing is, we will delay for a few days and he will realize the status quo.” Xu Xin put down the document, “This will not be a big problem.”
Liu Jiankai nodded and thought for a while: “After we confirmed the news from IDG and Qiming Venture Capital, there have been fewer peers in contact with WeChat companies in recent days. Now we also need to see what Penguin will look like after the response.”
The Penguin will inevitably fight back, this is a consensus.
Therefore, the uncertainty after the Penguin counterattack is the main factor that keeps investment institutions waiting and watching.
Xu Xin sighed: “Yes, WeChat company is actually doing well enough, but I still don’t know what will happen in the end. Yesterday I heard that Penguin has set up a ‘midnight battle group’. Guess who is there?”
Liu Jiankai guessed, “There must be Pony.”
“Yes, there are three people in total. It is said that the meeting is held on time at 0 a.m. every day. In addition to Pony, there are also Zhang Zhidong and Lu Shan.” Xu Xin said the situation.
Zhang Zhidong is Penguin’s CTO and controls the company’s most ace technical team.
Liu Jiankai asked strangely: “Isn’t Lu Shan responsible for Penguin’s operating platform system? This time he was asked to directly be responsible for the development of competitors?”
Xu Xin pondered: “I heard that Zhang Zhidong attaches great importance to Lushan. Lushan is likely to be the one who will replace the CTO in the future. Anyway, Penguin has been doing its best this time.”
She felt a slump when she heard this news.
Penguin has a bad reputation, but it is very strong. After putting together all kinds of definite news, this emphasis on WeChat companies makes people feel cold.
Liu Jiankai could also feel the pressure coming to his face. After thinking about it, he thought: “It depends on how Mr. Yu and the others fought. These are actually predictable.”
Xu Xin agreed with this.
After a while, she shook her head again: “Do it all out. It’s really not possible. WeChat can push users to a good level. I believe Penguin will be interested in directly joining it, so that even if you lose, you won’t lose too much.”
Liu Jiankai frowned in his heart, said after a little hesitation, “President Yu may not agree to sell it to Penguin. The previous opposition with him is well known to the entire network.”
“We need to be responsible for the funds.” Xu Xin said lightly, “So, we can’t give him AB shares this time. The returns are indeed great, but the risks are equally great. Besides, he is given the right to vote. If Penguin catches up, the three of us will not provide follow-up funds. He will also need to face reality, and reality will not be transferred by his will.”
Liu Jiankai remained silent. Of course, the investor is a shareholder of the company, but he is a different shareholder.
Xu Xin shook her head: “Everyone is doing everything they need to do and do, and then look at what happens. IDG is already helping to contact CCTV’s advertising resources. Now, it is the best time to pile up users while Penguin is not fighting back.”
The same trench has different identities and there are many things to consider.
The opposite trench just needs to consider how to respond to WeChat.
Even though Pony and Liu Chi-ping have firm confidence in winning, when WeChat officially announced that users exceeded 6 million in a short period of time, some Penguin executives informally evaluated their opponents.
“Yu Xing’s WeChat is just a small company and cannot support more user base. Instant communication has high technology requirements, and the information delay failure it has occurred can prove this.”
“No matter how WeChat uses public opinion, the technical stuff must be solid.”
Embarrassingly, not long after this person spoke, Penguin’s QQ had a message delay at night.
Yu Xing didn’t reply back and forth, but when he saw this, he had to speak on Weibo: “No wonder there was a problem with WeChat. We just learned from QQ!”
