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

Chapter 189: The 5 Million Capitalist Blow on the Way

Zhang Xiaolong described the whole thing in a concise and detailed manner.

Xiao Ma Ge frowned, "You mean our previous version was not only useless, but even counterproductive, but was simply overshadowed by the illusion of QQ's traffic diversion?"

"Yes, that's right, so my suggestion is to apply to be offline for micro chat show!"

Pony Ma looked at the data report and user reviews submitted by Zhang Xiaolong. He realized the seriousness of the matter and said, "Get offline, immediately!"

"It's all ready. We just need your approval and it will be offline tonight!"

Xiao Ma Ge did not click to approve immediately, but asked, "It's easy to take it offline, but are you prepared for the follow-up, such as user refunds and offline statements?"

“These were all prepared in advance.”

Normally, at this time, it would be time to execute the decision, but now Weichat is the only one left, which makes Xiao Ma Ge regret that Qchat and Qxin merged too early. Now he can only support Weichat no matter what!

If this wasn't the only one left in the factory
"Well! This is not bad, but Xiaolong, every failure makes you a wiser person. I don't want to see the same mistake again in the future. Don't make it again!" Xiao Ma Ge narrowed his eyes at Zhang Xiaolong.

Zhang Xiaolong was startled when he heard this, "Xiaolong, I understand!"

"How do you plan to develop the subsequent micro chat?"

"Of course I'll continue to follow WeChat's footsteps, but I think there's something wrong with our previous route!"

"How to say?"

“At first I thought the other party would stop after releasing a few versions. If we were all on the same starting line, after a while, with Tencent’s background, we would definitely defeat the other party.

But judging from the current situation of WeChat, I was wrong. Their innovation seems to be endless!

This will result in the other team always being in the lead, while we are chasing behind!"

"Can we use headhunters to poach the other party's products?" Xiao Ma Ge wanted to use the golden hoe composed of his money ability.

"Uh, I'm afraid that's not possible!"

“Are there still people that money cannot poach? Then use stocks or positions to attract them!”

Pony Ma doesn’t believe that there are still people that Tencent cannot poach. If the other party disagrees, it only means one thing: the money given is not in place!

Zhang Xiaolong had a constipated face. "If the previous news is correct, all the version updates after WeChat went online were made by Chen Mo."

The young man at the auction a few months ago suddenly flashed through Xiao Ma Ge's mind, "You mean, it's not the other product manager but the Chen Mo from the other side?"

"Boss knows Chen Mo?"

"Not only do I know him, I've also met him once offline. He's a very talented young man, but it's a pity that I can't use him." Xiao Ma Ge felt a little regretful.

Seeing that the boss was somewhat off topic, Zhang Xiaolong turned the subject back to the topic.
"Now that I think about it, we have always been caught up in the opponent's rhythm, using our own weaknesses to attack their strengths, thus throwing away our greatest advantage!"

"Our biggest advantage? Hasn't QQ already started to introduce micro-chat? Isn't that big enough?"

Zhang Xiaolong shook his head, "There are two sources of traffic, one is diversion, the other is attracting new customers, and attracting new customers requires a lot of money!

The other party's WeChat has almost no funds for promotion and relies entirely on word of mouth from users. This is 2011, not 2001. They are too slow! "

"You mean spending money to attract new customers?"

"Yes! Let's have an open conspiracy. With Tencent's great momentum, how can the other side stop us?"

“So how much budget do you plan to apply for?”

Zhang Xiaolong thought about it, gritted his teeth and said the number in his mind, "1 million!"

Xiao Ma Ge did not comment, but continued to ask, "How do you plan to use this money? Continue advertising?"

Zhang Xiaolong talked about the plan he had thought of before, "I plan to connect WeChat and Tenpay, and then hold activities on WeChat. After meeting the standards, I will connect to the user's online banking through the Financial Connection. First, it will bring benefits to users and attract new users. Second, it will open up the WeChat payment function, which will provide strong support for the follow-up, such as upper-level games and other scenarios." Xiao Ma nodded, feeling that this time it was about right. "Are there any milestones in the project cycle?"

Zhang Xiaolong made up his mind, "Let's launch it within a month!"

Seeing the boss lowering his head in thought and not saying anything else, Zhang Xiaolong felt a little uneasy. He felt that he had said too much and that perhaps 5 million was enough.

But what Xiao Ma Ge thought was that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Xiaolong’s idea, but his vision and ambition were not big enough.

Then he shook his head, "1 million is not enough, I'll give you 5 million! I'll give you another month, just go online before the end of April. I don't want a quick decision, I want it to be final!"

Such an answer was beyond Zhang Xiaolong's expectations. It made him ecstatic and feel tremendous pressure at the same time.

"no problem!"

Pony Ma stood up and put his arm around Zhang Xiaolong's shoulders, showing a rare gesture of intimacy. "This time for 5 million, my request is very simple. I want to leave WeChat far behind and stop being a threat to us. Can you do it?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"Well, if I can't do it, I won't be able to report to the board of directors. I won't be able to report to the board of directors."

Xiao Ma Ge didn't say anything else, just patted Zhang Xiaolong on the shoulder and smiled.

"Go ahead. I've given you the position, the people who can chat with you on QQ, the traffic on QQ, and you asked for 1 million. I'll give you 5 million. You are the hope of the whole factory. Don't let me down, Brother Long!"

Zhang Xiaolong could feel the bloody smell in his boss' smile. He pursed his lips, nodded heavily, and strode away, very resolutely!
If you don’t succeed, you will succeed!
Zhang Xiaolong was holding his breath. He didn't believe that Weilian, who had a strong army and sufficient food and fodder, and all kinds of weapons and ammunition were on the way, couldn't beat WeChat?

The last time I fought such a rich battle, I was still a bald man.

Zhang Xiaolong touched his still thick hair. If he lost this, he, Zhang Xiaolong, would have no face to stay in Tencent!

The next morning, Zhang Xiaolong returned to the Guangyan Center and immediately convened a meeting, looking at all the core members.

"The uproar a while ago caused us to make a lot of mistakes and took a lot of detours.

But I think it's worth it.

A war without suffering is not a war!
So here are some arrangements!
First, the boss has approved it. Thanks to everyone for their hard work. We will urgently shut down the WeChat chat show today! And do the follow-up work according to the previous plan!
Second, shake your phone and people nearby will be added to the schedule.

Third, cooperate with the Tenpay team to embed the Tenpay function into WeChat chat and open up the payment function! "

The first two items were easy to deal with, but the third one made everyone present a little confused. Why did they suddenly start to talk about payment?
If you don’t understand, just ask. The product will speak first. “We just launched a micro chat show on our own and it was taken offline. Now we have innovated payment. We are not afraid.”

"Yes, Boss, it's a social-centric application. It was used for micro-chat shows before. Now it's used for payment. Aren't you afraid?"

“How about we put payment aside for now, and start with Shake and Nearby People, and then wait for the progress on WeChat?”

How could this be the same? But he couldn't say it clearly.

Zhang Xiaolong's answer was very firm. "These three points are not for discussion but for notification! I will also bring back promotion funds this time."

He paused for a moment, then said word by word, "Five hundred million!"

HOOOOO~~~~The whole audience was boiling.
As soon as the 3 million was announced, the whole audience immediately stopped objecting. Zhang Xiaolong continued, "I have informed the leaders of Tenpay, so let's get started! I want to see that two and three are ready by the end of March! Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"Work!"

Zhang Xiaolong looked at the WeChat screen on his phone with burning eyes and clenched teeth.

Chen Mo, I admit that you are very strong and you can’t copy us, so let’s have a fair fight!
Once this 5 million yuan is released, how will you respond?
