What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Watching

WeChat shareholders are still working.

When Yu Xing appeared on CCTV, he introduced resources from IDG, because of the new development of grassroots entrepreneurs in the mobile Internet era and the arrival of the new wave through this phenomenon.

In CCTV’s view, WeChat, which focuses on mobile Internet, has become the third largest communication tool in China less than a year after its establishment, which is valuable, and it is also very popular as an entrepreneur who is at the forefront of the trend and is also very popular with giants.

And, after the 3Q war, WeChat showed a positive courage. The only thing that makes people worry is that Bai Xiaosheng’s company sometimes seems too much, but then again, what does it have to do with WeChat’s Yu Xing?

However, WeChat has ushered in the update of version 2.0.0 and added a heavy voice information function, which is more important than Yu Xing’s appearance in CCTV News.

The ratio of Android and iOS users in the WeChat software is relatively high compared to other companies. The most obvious comparison is Penguin. Its current mobile phone QQ does not particularly tend to Android or iOS systems, and the first ones to push Symbian are always Symbian.

Users of the new generation of smartphones are not only more active, but also more willing to try it out. Many of them tried the new version of WeChat’s voice at the first time and praised it.

It used to be free text messages, but now isn’t this equivalent to a free call with a residual blood version?

If the remaining blood version is here, will the full blood version be far away?

Yu Xing received feedback from users’ reputation, and when he opened Weibo to update the content to ask everyone for their opinions on WeChat, he saw wave after wave of new jokes in his comment section.

—Yu Xing was arrested just after updating the WeChat version. He shouted innocently, but only got a cold answer, “Do you think we don’t know who your new feature is targeting!”

—Ah, can you perform that? That’s that, that one.

—I would like to personally officially announce Penguin that if the micro-chat fails to replicate the voice information within three days, I will uninstall it immediately!

—Penguin, stop pretending, let’s take a look at the unique skills of the old Murong Fu!

Yu Xing opened Weibo, browsed Weibo, and closed Weibo.

If he is a funny person, he doesn’t mind reproducing the micro-chat, but as the president of WeChat company, he still hopes that the micro-chat can be reproducing the micro-chat slowly.

Perhaps it is because the sounds on the Internet have really taken effect recently, or perhaps it is because Penguin is still waiting for further market feedback. WeChat has upgraded 2.0, and there is no news or news in the next three days. Instead, Renren Cha announced that it will follow up on the latest updates.

October ends with attention. This month, there are both the 3Q war that whipped users, the fantasy promotion of WeChat companies, and the start of the mobile communication chaos.

as well as…

When Sohu’s reporter was taking stock of this special October, he suddenly thought of what the founder of WeChat company Yu Xing said in the news.

He quoted and placed it at the end of the report: “Perhaps, as Yu Xing said, the era of mobile Internet has arrived, so there is a question that will inevitably last for several years for us. Who will get the ticket for the new era?”

Who will get the ticket for the new era…

Anyway, Tudou.com won’t.

As soon as November began, Yu Xing received a message from the person involved, asking whether he heard that Tudou.com would be on the market in the near future.

Yu Xing heard it, and he also heard very accurately the information on submitting the application on November 9 that he heard from shareholder Xu Xin.

He could only reply to the situation in a tactful way: “I heard that, but I can’t tell you, maybe you can wait a few more days.”

The party involved replied with “thank you” and sincerely wishes WeChat to defeat Penguin as soon as possible.

Although the competition with Penguin has been very tense recently, Yu Xing still feels that there is a small problem in front of him. He felt that he needed to communicate with Xu Xin in advance. So, what method should be used and how long should he be ahead?

Xu always supports himself, although he may not be 100% support…

OK, Yu Xing thought about this and thought about the tacit insistence on voting today. Instantly, he notified Liu Jiankai half a day in advance and asked him to tell Xu Xin’s decision.

This matter is not a big deal. No matter how Baixiaosheng platform handles it, as long as the parties file a lawsuit, it will be the same ending. Tudou.com must suspend its listing according to the procedures. The difference is that with the expansion of public opinion, the problem will probably be solved more easily.

On November 1, Yu Xing reported in the WeChat financing group that the total number of customers had once again broken through the small nodes, achieving an achievement of 11 million.

This was expected by everyone, so there was not much joy. Instead, they were more concerned about the stimulating effect after the new version of the voice.

“The latest one million users have up to 65% of smartphone users, which is a pretty good percentage, and I believe it will continue to improve.”

“In addition, this group of users has a higher friend increase rate, and they are all happy to push WeChat to others.”

“This kind of user activity is the basis for our promotional cycle!”

Yu Xing sent a voice message with a passionate voice, and tried it three times before he had the most enthusiastic effect.

“Very good, Mr. Yu, very good, but unfortunately, we don’t know what effect Penguin’s micro-chat has achieved in the past few days.” Xu Xin replied in a half-true and half-false happy voice.

“Penguin will not announce it, it is indeed difficult for us to know, but I see that many users download and use it because of the QQ icon. I believe that the activity of the users of WeChat will definitely not be as active as us. The next step is to continue to try to widen the gap.” Yu Xing said half-truely, “Our new version is still being developed, and the WeChat voice of the Symbian version is also above the progress.”

Simple discussions and evaluations appeared in the WeChat group.

After Yu Xing finished reading it, he was about to discuss the second issue when he saw the door of the President’s Office knocking, and Chairman Song Yufeng came back in turmoil.

He threw a cigarette to Song Yufeng, poured another cup of tea, and then sent a voice message tentatively: “Mr. Zhang, Mr. Hu, Mr. Xu, Penguin’s competitive pressure is still very high. When the company was discussing the market, there was a suggestion that we could also make a PC terminal of WeChat, so that it could pose some threats to Penguin QQ. What do you think?”

Offense is the best defense, which does come from internal discussions.

However, Yu Xing has temporarily rejected it first.

The main reason is that there is no money.

All the money raised by WeChat is used to maintain operation and publicity. The previous round of fund orders was to push users to 20 million repeatedly negotiated with the investors, and the development team’s new version development task has been fully loaded, and a series of iterative functions such as “shake”, “drift bottle”, and “people nearby” need to be launched in time.

So far, WeChat companies have no revenue and rely on the blood bags of the three institutions, and they will inevitably weigh the situation before discussing the support for the next step.

If WeChat companies still have enough energy, the first task is to push up the total number of mobile communication users, rather than opening the second front. Otherwise, if the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?

But Yu Xing also considered that this move could be a confrontational gesture and might have a greater symbolic meaning. When it comes to symbols, there is no more time than creating big news when it comes to selling.

Silence appeared in the WeChat group.

Yu Xing waited for a while, and pointed to his mobile phone screen with a smile: “Brother Feng, do you know? Every time I, the shareholder group, remain silent, I feel that they are unifying my opinions behind my back. Well, generally speaking, Zhang Suyang first objected, and then Xu Xin came out to speak, Hu Xubo, sometimes he doesn’t speak, but not speaking is just an expression.”

Song Yufeng’s expression was a little weird. It sounded that WeChat was in full swing and did not receive too much unanimous support.

He took a sip of tea and reported on his extensive contact with WeChat this time.

Yu Xing previously gave the chairman a job to show him the attitude of other outside institutions after the counterattack of Penguin, and at the same time, he also looked at the attitudes of manufacturers such as Sina, NetEase, Baidu, and Alibaba. “Brother Xing, as for the investment institutions I contacted this time, they are generally calm and are looking at the competition between WeChat and WeChat. Well, they basically want to wait for a certainty.” Song Yufeng said, “There are also things like Sequoia. They think the valuation obtained by WeChat is a little bit high. They are willing to contact and talk about the next round of financing, but there may be no valuation increase.”

Sequoia has also been to the fourth floor before and is quite enthusiastic, but they have no intention of giving a higher valuation for WeChat’s growth from millions to ten millions, which is nothing more than considering the huge uncertainty of Penguin’s competition.

Yu Xing took the document handed over by Song Yufeng, and read it while listening to his description.

“Their attitudes are even more…it should be said to be cold.” Song Yufeng talked about the organization and company, “They gave me the feeling that they were happy to see the threat of WeChat to Penguin, but they were not interested in really investing in it, and some companies might rather do it themselves.”

Yu Xing took out a cigarette, and then felt that he had smoked a little too much recently and put it in his hand to rub it.

Song Yufeng did not bring good news.

This is not surprising, but it is a bit disappointing to actually hear it.

This kind of challenge to giants is that it is easy to start with a lively start, with a difficult middle, and a lament at the end. The powerful companies watching these onlookers either decline themselves, or set up projects to test the waters, or have clear strategies…

Yu Xing shook his head and lit a cigarette: “After all, it’s a penguin, and it’s still a goose that reacts so quickly.”

Song Yufeng was quite confident when he went out, feeling that with the popularity of WeChat company, he would definitely become a guest of honor when he went out this round. However, after he walked back like this, he felt cold in his heart.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

Everyone’s attitude is different from what they imagined…

This seems to prove that WeChat is far less bright than it seems.

Song Yufeng couldn’t help but ask: “Brother Xing, what should I do next? Oh yes, I didn’t go to 360, why don’t I go to 360 again to ask if they are willing to support it.”

Yu Xing laughed: “The advertising fee is still dragging there.”

At this time, a reply sounded in the WeChat group.

Yu Xing clicked directly, so that Song Yufeng could also hear the attitude of the institutions.

Sure enough, Zhang Suyang was the first to speak out: “Mr. Yu, is the priority of the PC side not that high? You can move back temporarily. If the mobile phone side cannot open up the gap, the PC side will not be able to invest. Of course, this does not mean that I do not support your competition for Penguin.”

Xu Xin was also the second one to speak out: “Mr. Yu, what we need to compete for now is a mobile penguin. If we do the PC side, we will face a complete penguin, which is to promote our shortcomings and avoid our strengths.”

Although Song Yufeng was worried about WeChat, he couldn’t help but admire his reply order when he saw that the order of their reply was the same as what the boss said: “Brother Xing, you… you can tell that you are used to it!”

“You must be good at observing.” Yu Xing smiled and replied to the news in the group, and finally said to Song Yufeng, “They do have a relatively close understanding.”

Song Yufeng was silent, this was not easy to do.

However, it is difficult for WeChat companies to establish projects from the beginning.

“Okay, Brother Feng, thank you for your hard work. Go and rest. I will study your contact again.” Yu Xing stood up and sent the chairman out.

Then he picked up the file and focused on the situation of Alibaba.

Well… Alibaba is the coldest person who has no intention of investing or testing communications.

Yu Xing thought about it and called Liu Jiankai again. He learned that Alibaba not only had almost no foreign investment, but also used money from investors to consolidate the e-commerce ecosystem this year. Recently, there have been news that Alibaba wanted to buy back the stocks in Yahoo.

It seems that not only Alibaba’s strategic issue, but its own funds are not that abundant.

Yu Xing drew a circle with a stroke and squeezed it out. Companies like Alibaba can always squeeze out after squeeze.

That night, questions such as WeChat, Penguin, Alibaba and other things lingered in Yu Xing’s mind, and he suddenly received a call from Alibaba and was still a little dazed.

“Oh, Mr. Cheng, good evening.”

Yu Xing received a call from Cheng Xiangwen, deputy director of Alibaba’s operations.

Cheng Xiangwen first congratulated WeChat on its success, and then asked with a little nervousness: “Mr. Yu, I wonder if I can help me when I come to WeChat at this time?”

Yu Xing was a little surprised and happy: “I can’t ask for anything, Mr. Cheng! Come quickly, come quickly, I will take you to join the company tomorrow!”

Cheng Xiangwen smiled and said, “Mr. Yu, oh… I am flattered. Well, my work at Taobao Mall here still needs to be handed over, and I may not be able to leave until before the Spring Festival as soon as possible.”

Yu Xing hesitated a little. Before the Spring Festival, before the Spring Festival, if WeChat companies were to be the current situation, they might only serve as a springboard…

Jump from Alibaba to WeChat and then to Alibaba’s springboard…

Cheng Xiangwen didn’t hear the answer and asked, “Mr. Yu, is there anything wrong with it? I will do it as soon as possible.”

“Mr. Cheng, um…” Yu Xing “um” for several seconds, but he didn’t expect any good words. In the end, he could only say, “Okay, welcome, Mr. Cheng, I really wish you could come here early. When I think about being able to work with you during the Spring Festival, I feel very uncomfortable.”

Cheng Xiangwen felt the true feelings in President Yu’s words and was even more flattered: “Mr. Yu, I am also looking forward to that day!”

Yu Xing finished the call and thought about it. At that time, he could only make up for his salary.

Or maybe, Mr. Cheng may be happier to work in another department.

In the first week of November, the voice version of WeChat received stronger feedback, and there were new highs in terms of total users, activity, and fission ratio.

At the same time, some latecomer discoveries in the industry that WeChat companies stopped publishing this data after the number of users reached 10 million, and this is by no means because of its worse growth, but may be preventing penguins from conducting relevant assessments.

On November 7, Penguin suddenly leaked the inspiring personnel changes, and many people in charge of the instant messaging business were transferred from their posts, while Lu Shan, who was chatting, temporarily took over the communication business of the entire group.

This action is interpreted as that even if the micro-chat is released, there are still differences in the Penguin’s opinions on it.

Obviously, WeChat has received further support from Penguin’s highest decision-making level, and it is very likely that the opposition from PC interests has been cleaned up.
