Six hundred and fortieth chapters unexpected joy
It is true that Ding Luochuan is good at exploiting loopholes in the law, but this time it did not cause trouble for Fan Wubing, but actually did a big thing, one that didn't seem to be anything to him, but in Fan Wubing's eyes it seemed particularly important.
At the end of last year, to be precise, on November 12, 1998, the second day of Singles' Day, Ma Huateng and his classmate Zhang Zhidong from college formally registered and established Shenzhen Tencent Computer Systems Co., Ltd., the company's main business is to expand wireless network paging systems.
When Tencent was established, its main business was to establish a network paging system for the paging station. This software development project for enterprises or units can be said to be the best choice for almost all small and medium-sized network service companies. In 1997, Ma Huateng came into contact with iq and became its user. He personally felt the charm of iq and also saw its limitations.
Although iq is widely circulated among foreign users, it has an English interface, and it is quite difficult to use. This makes iq widely used in China, but it is never particularly popular. Most of it is limited to experts at the net insect level.
Ma Huateng and his partners initially thought about developing a Chinese iQ software and then selling it to a powerful company. Tencent did not think that it would take huge investments to operate it but could not make money. At that time, it was because a large company was interested in investing a large amount of money in the Chinese iQ field. Tencent also wrote about project construction and had already started to develop and design iQ. By the time of bidding, Tencent did not win the bid, and Tencent decided to do it by itself.
You should know that at that time, Tencent priced the price of iQ at that time, which was only more than 300,000 yuan. Later, when Tencent began to develop rapidly, Ma Huateng said very appropriately that we needed our own Chinese network software and we needed our own iQ.
But in fact, Tencent launched an iQ purely. By chance, if that big company did not intend to invest money in the Chinese iQ field, there would be no iQ. If Tencent won the bid, there would be no iQ. Tencent's success is partly lucky and half strength.
Ding Luochuan didn't know what he bumped into. Luckily, Tencent found them after taking out the beta version of iQ, hoping to sell the software to him, or if it could be promoted to Fan's Investment Group, or integrated into Huafeng.com with a very good development momentum for sales.
After Fan Wubing and Shen Ying arrived at the Shenzhen branch, after listening to Ding Luochuan's introduction, Fan Wubing had no idea, but thought this thing sounded familiar, so he asked Ding Luochuan to take detailed information to let him see it.
However, when Fan Wubing saw the little penguin icon, he suddenly stood up and his eyes became a little dull.
"Mr. Fan, are you okay?" Ding Luochuan was shocked and said to himself for many days. He hadn't seen Mr. Fan anymore. Who knew that he would get hysterical as soon as he came. If he had something wrong with it, he couldn't explain it to Member Fan Heng?
"How can it be fine? Ah! It's quite a matter!" Fan Wubing calmed down and said, "Give me some drinks, I must be serious about this."
After reading the detailed information, Fan Wubing felt a clear idea. Tencent’s prototype QQ software, iQ, has not yet been promoted to the Internet, so everyone has no idea, so their ideas can be sold at once.
Anyway, Tencent has not had many people at this time, just a few big cats and kittens. iq itself is just a small software, and its basic functions are all imitated by iq. Maybe there are some copyright issues in it, and it is the best choice to be able to cash out as soon as possible.
As for the fact that I put it into the market, the risk is too great, and the publicity cost is also a very amazing number. In terms of the current situation of the company, it seems to be difficult to support.
The information provided by Ding Luochuan to Fan Wubing is not just Tencent, but also many software developers who hope to receive funding or support. After all, everyone now knows that Fan's Investment Group is actually the largest venture capitalist in China. If there are suspicious projects that they can see, there is still a chance of being adopted. This opportunity cannot be missed.
Tencent launched an instant messaging tool based on the Internet, supports online messaging, instant transmission of voice, video and files, and can send information to mobile users through clients. Its functions are already very powerful.
Fan Wubing looked at the detailed instructions and thought of the QQ he used at that time. He had developed powerful functions such as crossing the firewall, dynamic expressions, recording and songs for Hao, capturing the screen, sharing folders, remote assistance, providing chat scenes, and displaying pictures during chatting. It is impossible to say that he is not excited at all.
From a heart, Fan Wubing always believes that the biggest function of QQ is to bring people apart, and at the same time build a very convenient information exchange platform for countless otaku and otakus. Of course, it also breeds countless finger families. As an indispensable instant messaging tool that has been widely used in work and daily life in a few years, the value created by QQ is unmatched.
At this time, the power of life and death judgment of this small software was placed in front of you and in your own hands, which made Fan Wubing, who was very busy for the sun, feel turbulent for a long time.
If Fan Wubing is coveting this software that will be incredible in the future, it is better to be very interested in this development team. You should know that ten years later, Tencent's market value will be equivalent to about 30 billion US dollars. This figure is higher than the market value of Yahoo at the close of Nasdaq on the same day, and Eby's market value of 28 billion US dollars, following the market value of Amazon and ggle, and it has become the third place in global network stocks.
The development of Tencent QQ has profoundly influenced and changed the communication methods and living habits of hundreds of millions of netizens. It provides users with a huge and convenient communication platform, practicing various life functions, social service functions and business application functions in people's lives, and has changed people's lifestyles at an unprecedented speed, creating a broader prospect for Internet application.
A company team that can achieve such great achievements is obviously worthy of respect.
After Fan Wubing calmed down, he said to Ding Luochuan, "Don't mention the rest, you can do it yourself, but I want to give priority to this iQ plan. When you talk to the other party, I said that I am more interested in their entire company and their software industry. For the purpose of protecting the development of national software industry, I hope they can maintain a certain degree of independence, so I am willing to invest 10 million yuan in individuals to acquire 80% of the shares of their company."
"This condition seems to be too generous," Ding Luochuan said astonished when he heard this, "I think it would be good to buy this software for 300,000 or 500,000 yuan. What I asked you to see is actually several other projects."
Ding Luochuan didn't expect that Mr. Fan was so interested in the iQ software of the little penguin icon, so he couldn't help but scratch his head. This matter was very different from his initial thought. He originally wanted to sell him several other projects, and the investment amount was over 100 million yuan. Who knew that Mr. Fan seemed to be not interested in those projects at this time.
Seeing that Ding Luochuan was a little surprised, Fan Wubing smiled and patted Ding Luochuan on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes, when you are a person, you need to look longer. What can you do with a software? What we need most is these original talents. Only by mastering talents can you be invincible in the future. But to master talents, you need to give them enough respect. In fact, I think buying 80% of their shares for 10 million is already a big profit. When you mention them in the future, you will inevitably be said to be really bad!"
After hearing Fan Wubing's explanation, Ding Luochuan smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Fan, whatever you say, I'll contact them now and try to make this matter immediately. In order to increase the attraction, should I add another sentence? Why not use Huafeng.com to conduct high-density advertising on their software?"
Fan Wubing nodded and agreed with a smile, "This time you do a beautiful job, I'll give you a reward after you go back."
Shen Ying was also very surprised at Fan Wubing's performance today. Although she had known Fan Wubing for a long time, she had never seen Fan Wubing so happy. Naturally, she didn't know that the role of QQ was to use free information exchange to deceive most people, guide everyone to form an online habit that they could not quit, and then subdivide this huge resource group and promote various specific service contents for different groups according to their habits, such as payment, online shopping, e-commerce, entertainment, games, etc.
