Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 111 Fetion? Tencent? Both
Chen Mo was not at all panicked when he saw this.

He took out two cans of Coke from the refrigerator next to him, handed one to her, opened it himself, took a sip, and then spoke,
“This is an idea that I have been thinking about and polishing for a while.

In fact, the initial inspiration came from the fact that I have been using my mobile phone to replace the work of the computer, but it is very painful. Especially the mobile QQ, which is so difficult to use that it is just garbage.

I just wondered if I could make a simple and easy-to-use instant messaging software.

It is also a major traffic entrance. If we can handle this well, everything Xiaomi does in the future will be much more efficient.

The prospect is no less than that of QQ 10 years ago. This will be our Xiaomi’s ticket to enter the mobile Internet market in the future! ”

Pain breeds opportunities, pain points create demands!
Lei Jun agreed with Chen Mo's words, "It seems that we two heroes have similar views."

"So, Jun-ge agrees?"

"I agree with your theory about the pain points of mobile phones. I have been using my mobile phone for work recently, and it is indeed constrained in many ways. When I can completely get rid of computers, then the smartphone will be fully mature.

But I didn’t say I agree with your mobile messaging app.”

“Uh, what’s wrong with this app?”

"Not only is there a problem, but it's a big one! Do you think I haven't thought of similar products before? I was also very excited at first, thinking I had found a very awesome project, but the more I thought about it, the more risky it seemed. If I were to reject your proposal, I don't think you would be convinced. It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, so I'll have a good chat with you this time."

Lei Jun stood up, walked around his desk, went to the whiteboard, and wrote down the problem that was bothering him at the time. With just a few words, there were only two key words!
"Fetion! Tencent!"

Looking at the words on the whiteboard, Chen Mo nodded secretly. Xiao Lei was indeed Xiao Lei. He got to the essence of the problem and grasped the key point right away.

Lei Jun pointed at the former with a pen, "Fetion has been developed for three years. Now it can compete with mobile QQ and occupy nearly half of the market share. Moreover, it has the support of China Mobile. If I remember correctly, the number of registered users in the first two months should be close to 5 million, and the number of active users is close to million. First, tell me how you compete with Fetion alone?"

Lei Jun can talk about these data and news at will, which shows that on weekdays, he not only pays attention to the dynamics of the mobile phone industry, but also maintains a very high sensitivity to other products on the Internet.

Chen Mo knew about Fetion. This software had been available since 07. It integrated multiple communication methods such as GPRS, SMS, and voice, and supported instant messaging services including fully real-time quasi-voice communication, quasi-real-time text communication, and quasi-real-time small-data communication.

Chen Mo admitted that before he went to Xiao Lei to discuss the plan, he had anticipated what questions Lei Jun might ask, and then he focused his main energy on the latter keyword.

As for Fetion, he really didn't pay much attention to it, because he subconsciously didn't regard Fetion as a rival.

So when he heard Lei Jun's question, Chen Mo showed surprise on his face.
"Fight? Why fight? Isn't it good to coexist peacefully?"

"Oh, you think too simply! The products are similar, the users overlap, and the other party is very powerful. You want to take advantage of the situation. How can you compete without fighting? If you don't compete, how can you survive?"

Chen Mo fell into deep thought. He was not thinking about how to fight or compete, but that Fetion was just a flash in the pan that would be abandoned by the times.

How to convince Lei Jun of the established facts of the future through reasonable words without being abrupt is what gives Chen Mo a headache.

After nearly a minute, Chen Mo's words were heard in the office.
"The product I want to build is not in the same field as Fetion. Moreover, Fetion will be eliminated in a few years, so there is nothing to worry about."

He is so arrogant despite his young age. Lei Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then I'd like to hear what you think."

Chen Mo did not start from the details, but directly demonstrated the overall situation and macro narrative.

"One is a product from the 2G era. It has grown to its current size thanks to the huge support of China Mobile, but it is also the product of both success and failure."

"continue."

"Brother Jun, you should know that although text messages between mobile users are free, voice chat is charged, and it is charged in both directions. Free text messages sent to non-mobile users are charged per message.
Although Fetion and SMS are both businesses of China Mobile, they are in competition with each other. China Mobile envies Fetion's huge user base, but is reluctant to give up its SMS business which brings in billions of dollars a year.

Lei Jun was thinking along with what Chen Mo said and retorted, "What's the big deal? If I were the leader of China Mobile, I would just make Fetion free, occupy the market, and directly grab QQ's market share. Then I can set the price as I please." "You forgot the antitrust law."

"You forgot that it is a state-owned enterprise!"

“State-owned enterprises can do it.”

"Xiao Mo, you are still young" Lei Jun made an expression that you may not understand now
The young Chen Mo laughed at this time, "But because of this, Fetion will never be free, because its genes have determined its future outcome. Our gameplay in the mobile Internet era is a dimensionality reduction attack on it. This is why I said before that Fetion will not become an obstacle or opponent to us!"

Chen Mo took Lei Jun's pen and wrote the three words "officialism" on the whiteboard, stopping there and putting the final word on it!

Only then did Lei Jun realize that he had been misled by Chen Mo. He had been using Internet thinking to develop Fetion.

It was only after Chen Mo reminded him that he reacted.

The price wars that are common on the Internet simply don't work in state-owned enterprises because of their own limitations. It is impossible for them to come up with something for free and kill their own profit points.

Fetion's R&D, operation, maintenance and other expenses are all obvious. If it were free, the hole would only get bigger.

This involves the issue of loss of state-owned assets, and no leader can afford to take the blame for this.

Therefore, the first thing these people consider is not how to seize the market and expand revenue. No matter how well Fetion performs, even if it has already occupied half of the communication software market, what’s the point if it doesn’t make a profit?

But if you don't do it well, for example, if you provide it for free and are labeled by people with ulterior motives, then you will have worked hard for decades, and your future will be ruined if you are back to the time before liberation.

So don’t seek to achieve anything but seek to avoid mistakes, take the steady approach, and learn about it!
Lei Jun could understand these things, but what he couldn't understand was how Chen Mo, who was so young, could understand these things.

Is this what is called genius? Lei Jun has already forgotten how many times he has felt this way, and he seems to be a little numb.

"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense. It's not true that there's a tiger in front of you, but Tencent is not a state-owned enterprise, right? How can you protect yourself from the wolves behind you?"

Lei Jun said this while writing and drawing on the whiteboard.

Then the above will appear: Find the target -> plagiarize -> resource bombing -> overtake on the curve, link these keywords with arrows, and express your own opinions.
"Looking at Tencent's past, it always quietly lays out its plans, quietly appears behind you, and comes out to disrupt the situation at the right time. I learn from you and become more like you than you are. Once the time is right, it will ruthlessly take away your piece of cake until it becomes the ultimate winner.

If your app doesn't become popular, it's ok. As long as it develops rapidly, Tencent will follow up immediately, and may launch it one to two months later than you. Everyone is the same, and Xiaomi doesn't have their huge resources. How can you compete?"

Chen Mo didn't worry about the issue of plagiarism at all, because others could say it was micro-innovation, tribute, or reference. If he wanted to sue, he had the support of Nanshan Pizza Hut.

So when it comes to plagiarism, it’s an unsolvable problem.

He skipped the first step and discussed the second step, which was how to still compete or achieve ultimate victory in this situation.

Chen Mo nodded and took the pen. It was obvious that he was prepared for this question because he had already thought of a way to deal with it when he started designing it.

Asked Lei Jun, "What did you plagiarize?"

"Copy everything about your product, including the concept, core, page, function, gameplay, etc."

“Therein lies an opportunity.”

Chen Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly and drew a circle on the whiteboard with a pen!
