111 Fujitsu's response [2]
At the same time?... Everyone present thought for a while and thought this plan was good!
QQ is the company's core product, but due to factors such as interest relationships, the entire software is already very bloated and has many internal functions. In addition, another function must be fully certified and internally tested to ensure that there are no problems before it can be launched on the market. Otherwise, if something really happens, no one dares to bear this responsibility.
WeChat is just the current use of Tengxun Company to test the mobile Internet market. If Quxin's expansion speed is not too rapid, it can be gradually developed and explored.
But now when we encounter an emergency, we can only bite the bullet and go to it. However, compared to the risk of using QQ, WeChat can be sacrificed at any time.
"Okay, then QQ traffic is drained and WeChat is fully promoted!" Zhang Xiaolong's smile could no longer be suppressed. Although this time was a crisis for Tengxun, it was a development opportunity for WeChat. Compared with WeChat before, it had to develop independently on its own. After external verification, WeChat can get traffic support from the entire Tengxun Group.
However, this time, WeChat expansion still has to follow the old path of Teng Xun. In a short period of time, he could not imagine anything better than shaking it. The time is already very tight and Teng Xun cannot tolerate trial and error. Once Quxin has occupied the market share and users get used to using it, Teng Xun will have to pay more cost and time to make these people give up using a software they are already used to.
"I have another way!" At this time, another operation director Xue Wen'an suddenly said:
"Mr. Ma, everyone, our current competitor is not Alibaba, nor Baidu or 360, but a company that has just started a business. According to our previous strategic plan for the next five years, when we discover unicorns with potential, try to focus on capital investment or acquisition.
This time, Quxin is engaged in social activities and has a competitive relationship with our main business, but it is not an opportunity for us Tengxun. As long as we acquire Quxin, we can make up for the shortcomings on the mobile terminal, and also give QQ a similar competitor who is under our control but is completely different in personalization."
"This is indeed a solution, but we don't know whether the other party is willing to take action or not. And now time is tight. If we allow Quxin to develop, when it really becomes large, the threat to us will be very great." Zhang Xiaolong analyzed:
"Even if Quxin is willing to sell it at that time, we will face bidding from companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, and 360. If Quxin comes to these people, it will pose a greater threat to us."
Ma Huateng thought about it and said, "Xiaolong is right. We cannot put hope on the other party's willingness to sell it. We cannot bet. If Quxin really develops on the mobile side, it will be a huge threat to us. We also need to consider other venture capital investors, whether Baidu and Alibaba will fuel the fire."
"Now we will go together with three roads. Xue Wen'an, you are responsible for going to Shanghai. To test whether Zhou Yujie is willing to cash out. Although I think it is unlikely, it is not harmful to try it. And it is best to be able to spy out his ideas during the negotiation process, whether he really wants to make social networking bigger, or just think of a certain scale and then take action.
Although Zhou Yujie is very capable this year, he is still a college student after all. He lacks social experience. You are a master in this field and know what to do!"
"I understand!" Xue Wen'an nodded and agreed, and also began to think about the next steps.
Ma Huateng continued: "From today on the way, we will mobilize technicians from various departments to do our best and work overtime. We must add a shake function on WeChat and QQ in the shortest time, and we must also be prepared for data analysis."
"No problem, there will be a shake on WeChat tomorrow." Zhang Xiaolong agreed. WeChat's current functions are very simple, and there are very few new users. It is very simple to add a new function.
Technical director Mr. Lin also agreed that his time was ten days. In addition to technical reasons, how to pair after the shake is launched is also a question he needs to consider, because the number of QQ users is too large. If you launch shake, then how should you pair when countless people shake at the same time? You can't just follow the distance, right?
After the meeting ended, everyone rushed back to their jobs, leaving behind a thoughtful Ma Huateng.
...
Zhou Yujie, who was thousands of miles away, did not expect that his interesting letter would actually trigger the advance growth of WeChat.
With the explosive growth of Quxin in recent days, the entire Toutiao company has once again entered the busiest stage. All left-behind personnel started their on-duty career with the ground as the bed. Because there are too many people who are still shaking desperately in the middle of the night, many technicians can only replace work and rest to deal with the endless needs of single dogs.
As the boss, Zhou Yujie does not need to participate in the specific matters of the company, but he cannot really leave for too long as the company is so busy. Therefore, during the day, Zhou Yujie stayed in the company, analyzing the data with the senior executives, and discussing some details. At night, he went home to accompany his parents to prepare for the New Year.
On January 20, the day before New Year's Eve, Zhou Yujie walked into the gate of Toutiao Company as usual. After seeing Zhou Yujie, many employees said hello tacitly and went their own way. It was because they were too busy.
When he arrived at Lin Youde's office, Zhou Yujie said: "Brother De, it seems that we need to expand further in terms of personnel."
"Yes, there are indeed not enough staff now. After the Chinese New Year, at least another 100 people need to be recruited. But the problem is that our office space is probably not enough, but if we want to change places, there may be problems with the funds." Lin Youde said helplessly.
When I rented such a large two-story building, I thought it would be available for at least one or two years, but Toutiao's development speed was too fast, far faster than that of ordinary Internet companies. Toutiao, Quxin, and AppTrea are developing rapidly, and the company's most core big data department also requires a large number of data analysts. Now the development speed of several software under Toutiao has shown explosive growth, and problems have quickly arisen in terms of manpower.
In terms of funds, the entire Toutiao company's operation is entirely supported by the funds obtained from the sale of copyrights on Double Eleven. In order to quickly gain the market, Toutiao's three softwares do not accept external advertisements except internal traffic. Even the most basic app treasure, as long as Zhou Yujie nodded and agreed, a bunch of APP companies that want to buy bidding rankings are happy to send cash to Toutiao's desk.
But Zhou Yujie disagreed that implementing matching APP recommendations for AppTrea is the core competitiveness of AppTrea. Once you give up this and turn to bidding rankings like 91 Mobile Assistant and Pea, you will never be able to grab the other party’s market, because if you want users to change APP, you must do much better.
Lin Youde also understands this truth, but as time goes by, Toutiao's account has not had much money, either charging advertising fees or accepting financing, and there is no third solution.
Chapter completed!
