Chapter 255 There was a loud bang in the sky, and WeChat made a grand debut!
Liu's Building.
The world's number one Chinese restaurant.
Liu Xiahui, Liu Xiaxue, and Helanlan were having a meal while chatting.
Liu Xiahui said: "Two sisters, let you explore the market in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan next!"
Liu Xiaxue nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave it to us!"
Helanlan also nodded and said, "I will do a good job in assisting!"
Now Laoliu Catering is the largest catering giant in China, and it is imminent to go out of China. The purpose of opening up the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan markets is to prepare for going to the world.
After graduating from university, my sister and Lan Jie were responsible for the establishment and development of the Laoliu BBQ chain. After several years of training, they are no longer the newcomer in the industry who just left campus and had to give advice on everything.
Therefore, this time, Liu Xiahui left his sister and Lan to take charge of the development of the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan markets.
After talking about the main business, Liu Xiahui looked at his sister and Sister Lan, and said, "Sister, Sister Lan, this time I sent you to explore the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan markets. In addition to doing the main business, I hope you can also handle your private affairs.
After all, my younger brother and my children are about to go to the middle school class in kindergarten, but you two sisters don’t even have a boyfriend yet. This matter really needs to be taken seriously!”
Liu Xiaxue gave him a blank look and said, "You are worrying!"
Helanlan laughed and said, "Xiaohui, your sister and I want to be strong women. Generally, strong women rarely fall in love or get married before the age of 35, which will affect work efficiency!"
Liu Xiahui shook his head and said, "This is not a reason. In short, you can serve snacks yourself. I will also help you pay attention. If there are excellent candidates, you will introduce you to me!"
Liu Xiaxue waved her hand and said, "Xiaohui, don't get involved in this matter, I know what I know!"
Liu Xiahui sighed and said, "Sister, I don't want to interfere with your marriage, but as year after year passed, you have been slow to take action. I'm worried!"
Liu Xiaxue said: "Marriage is about fate, no matter how urgent it is, it is useless!"
Helanlan also agreed and said, "Yes, actually, what kind of strong women is just a joke, but the fate has not come, so there is no way to force it, right?"
Liu Xiahui nodded and said, "I understand this too. What I mean is not that you will find your boyfriend immediately, but that you can have snacks on your own. Don't focus on the business, and pay attention to the men around you. Just like being in the desert, you cannot wait for the water source to come to you, but also pay attention to the surrounding environment and consciously look for the water source. The chance of finding the water source must be higher. Do you think so?"
Liu Xiaxue responded helplessly: "I understand, I will pay attention!"
Helanlan also nodded and said, "Xiaohui's words are reasonable, and I will pay attention to them appropriately!"
Liu Xiahui nodded, and then said: "Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have developed economies, and there are many excellent men. However, the two sisters try not to find a partner in the entertainment industry. I don't have any objections to celebrities. The main reason is that the reputation of this circle is too bad, and it is difficult to find a man with self-discipline! "
After hearing this, Liu Xiaxue and Helanlan agreed with Liu Xiahui's statement. In the eyes of ordinary people, big stars are incredible, but in the eyes of real rich people, big stars are not much different from previous actors.
...
Before Zhang Xiaolong arrived, Liu Xiahui asked someone to register a new company and WeChat trademark.
In order to facilitate future development, Liu Xiahui independent of this new company, unlike those companies before, all of which are affiliated with the parent company of the Liu Group.
On July 7, Zhang Xiaolong arrived two days in advance.
On July 8, Liu Xiahui and Zhang Xiaolong signed a famous 10 billion guaranteed contract in later generations.
After the signing of the 10 billion guaranteed contract, Liu Xiahui had a private talk with Zhang Xiaolong.
"Mr. Zhang, Apple 4 is now selling well all over the world, and the market share of smartphones is also soaring year by year. I believe that the mobile Internet will enter a period of vigorous development in the future, and all walks of life will usher in new changes!"
Speaking of this, Liu Xiahui said in a tone of a heavier voice: "Whoever can gain the lead in the future mobile Internet era will be the biggest beneficiary of the mobile Internet era!"
Zhang Xiaolong nodded and said, "The changes in the mobile Internet in the past two years are indeed amazing. I have conducted this survey and feel that in two or three years, the active users of the mobile Internet will surpass the active users of the PC Internet. At that time, just like what the boss said, all walks of life will usher in new changes."
Liu Xiahui asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, communication tools like QQ have been born in the PC Internet era. Do you think there will be new communication tools in the mobile Internet era?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong was shocked and said in surprise: "Boss, it turns out that your purpose of recruiting me is to make mobile social software?"
Liu Xiahui nodded and said, "Yes, I am very optimistic about the mobile social software. I have been recruiting you through a lot of effort, just to lead you to develop a brand new mobile social software.
Not only that, I am also very optimistic about the future mobile payment field, and plan to do socializing and payment together, perfectly combine the two, and seize the initiative for the next development of mobile Internet!"
Zhang Xiaolong said excitedly: "Boss, I'll tell you, recently I have also begun to pay attention to mobile social networking, and I have a vague idea of mobile social software.
I originally planned to straighten out this idea first and then give suggestions to my original boss Ma, so that he can also pay attention to mobile social aspects.
But I never expected that you, the boss, also set your sights on this area and rushed to Huadu in person. They brought me a request that I could not refuse. This is a coincidence!"
Liu Xiahui laughed and said, "This proves that I am lucky than Boss Ma. With Mr. Zhang, you, a general, joining me, I believe we will definitely achieve outstanding results in the field of mobile social!"
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong was already excited to develop mobile social software. He patted his chest and said, "Boss, don't worry, I will do my best to develop the mobile social software you need!"
Liu Xiahui nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I have some ideas for mobile social software and its payment system to tell you... First... Second... Then... Then..."
In the next half hour, Liu Xiahui told Zhang Xiaolong in detail about the functions of WeChat and WeChat payment.
As Liu Xiahui explained step by step, Zhang Xiaolong became more and more shocked when he heard it. When he heard it, he was almost numb. He was so impressed by the new boss who was a teenager younger than him.
Too awesome!
This is really awesome!
For example, it is like an ancient painter who wanted to draw a modern city map. Although this painter is very good at painting, modern cities only exist in the painter's imagination. How to draw, the painter has to slowly explore and imagine.
But although Liu Xiahui did not understand painting skills, he could tell the painter all aspects of the modern city, which would naturally be of great help to the painter.
Liu Xiahui introduced the WeChat and WeChat payment functions he remembered to Zhang Xiaolong in detail, and finally said: "Mr. Zhang, this is my general idea of this mobile social software. All you have to do is lead the R&D team to realize these ideas one by one.
Of course, I said that I just mentioned a relatively perfect version. The ultimate goal is to develop these functions one by one, but this can be done step by step, for example, first launching version 1.0 and then updating a version every once in a while.
I believe you understand how great the benefits of doing this are."
Zhang Xiaolong nodded. Of course he understood this. To put it bluntly, this thing is to make technical reserves.
Just like those mobile phone manufacturers, even if the technology of the next generation of mobile phones is released, mobile phone manufacturers will not throw out all the technology without competitors.
Instead, they will keep a firm eye on new technologies, first maximize the profits of the mobile phones currently being sold until they are almost exhausted, then launch new technologies that have been developed long ago, and then start the next round of hot sales for mobile phones.
Zhang Xiaolong is no longer surprised by this kind of routine operation!
Next, the two discussed and decided on versions one by one. The functions that each version matched were clearly divided!
Liu Xiahui repeatedly emphasized the four words "simple and easy to understand", which was also one of the factors that made WeChat successful in his previous life.
After everything was discussed, Liu Xiahui solemnly reminded: "Mr. Zhang, once this mobile social software is released, it will inevitably have a great impact on Tencent. Tencent will treat us as mortal enemies.
Therefore, this R&D project must be absolutely confidential. All those involved in the R&D sign a confidentiality agreement. In addition, I will take out another 100 million as a confidentiality reward.
Also, except for you and me, don’t talk about the functions of each version to a third person.”
Zhang Xiaolong replied with a serious look on his face: "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do!"
"Well, it depends on you next!"
"Boss, have you named this mobile social software?"
"If you pick it up, it's called WeChat!"
"WeChat, easy to understand, what a good name!"
"Well, Mr. Zhang, let's talk about this today. You must form a R&D team as soon as possible and strive to develop the version before the National Day comes!"
"Yes, boss, please make sure to complete the task!"
...
After WeChat began to enter the R&D stage, Liu Xiahui was not idle and began to make strategic layouts in advance.
First of all, it is the layout of the scarf. Since Liu Xiahui wants to enter the social field, it will be a matter of time before he can compete with Tencent. He must have his own propaganda position.
And scarves are the propaganda position that Liu Xiahui likes.
The battle between the four tigers of the scarf is fierce, but Liu Xiahui, who knows the subsequent development, naturally knows that the final winner of the scarf fight is Xinlang Wei.
It happened that the celebrity certification when Xinlang Wei was launched and the natural disaster in Haiqing Province not long ago gave Liu Xiahui some friendship with Mr. Cao of Xinlang Wei, so Liu Xiahui directly met with Mr. Cao in the Emperor Capital and discussed cooperation.
After some secret talks, three days later, the two parties signed a strategic partnership agreement.
The second thing is to open up the links of the bank. After all, once WeChat Pay is launched, banks without cooperation will be fucked!
Among the four major banks, ICBC is the safest. In recent years, the cooperation between Liushi Group and ICBC has been the most in-depth. It is completely OK to just say hello, not to mention that Li Wencheng, the former branch president, is now the president of the Guizhou Branch.
In addition, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China and Liu Group have cooperated. After all, the reason why eggs cannot be placed in one basket is still understood. No matter how deep the cooperation with ICBC is, he has not given up on other banks.
Moreover, with Liu Xiahui's current wealth, no bank would refuse to cooperate with him.
Once the four major banks are done, other domestic banks will be even more unproblematic.
Therefore, after the Imperial Capital signed a strategic partnership agreement with Xinlang Weiwang, Liu Xiahui immediately returned to the capital of Guizhou Province and discussed cooperation with the four major banks and other small and medium-sized banks.
As expected, no bank in Guizhou Province would be so stupid that it refused to cooperate with Liu Xiahui.
If there is no precedent, it may have to go through some twists and turns, but because of the emergence of Alipay, the central bank has formulated the "Regulations on the Management of Payment Services of Non-Financial Institutions". As long as it obtains the "Payment Business License" issued by the central bank, major banks can cooperate with WeChat payment with confidence.
After discussing the bank in Guizhou Province, Liu Xiahui was still not satisfied and continued to go to other provinces to discuss cooperation with other local banks.
September is coming in a blink of an eye, and Liu Xiahui, the banks that are popular in China, have already negotiated cooperation.
The "Regulations on the Management of Payment Services of Non-Financial Institutions" formulated by the central bank will also come into effect on September 1. Liu Xiahui immediately submitted an application for the "Payment Business License" and was preparing to obtain a third-party payment license in the first batch.
By mid-September, the version has been successfully developed in advance and has started internal testing. There should be no problem with the official launch before the National Day holiday.
Because of Liu Xiahui's "foresight", the version developed by Zhang Xiaolong this time is different from his previous life. Although the 1.0 beta version of the previous life supports importing existing contact information through QQ numbers, it only has simple functions such as instant messaging, sharing photos and changing avatars.
The version developed under the guidance of Liu Xiahui, in addition to these simple functions, also added the function of reading mobile phone address books and multi-person conversations. The most important is the voice intercom function, which is a very popular feature in WeChat in his previous life.
Originally, when WeChat was first launched in previous life, everyone's reaction was mediocre and the promotion was not smooth.
However, in the version update, after adding voice intercom function, the WeChat user base has increased significantly for the first time.
And the version launched now is actually equivalent to the previous life version.
Chapter completed!
