Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone
Chapter 210 The other way
Chapter 210 The other way
The 13th floor of China Resources Wucai City, the headquarters of Bi'an Technology.
"Boss, this is the report on the use of funds for Weilian and Wangxin that the data department has deduced from the user scale announced by the other party. Please take a look."
Taking the report handed over by Xu Chaojun, Chen Mo looked at it for a while. After calculation, it was found that the two companies had more than 10 million left out of the 2 billion yuan in funds. Even if there were some deviations, the difference should not be too big.
He then called Chen Tong and Li Jianchao to inquire about the progress of the latest task, and was told that it was ready.
"It's time to launch the final offensive. They've had their fun for most of the month, now it's our turn."
In mid-June, the second wave of ammunition was used up, and Sina's Weimi, NetEase's YiXin and Shanda's YouNi announced their withdrawal from the battlefield as their cash incentive activities came to an end.
Now the only players left in the battlefield are Tencent's Weichat (1.5 million users), Bi'an's WeChat (1.3 million), and Alibaba's Wangxin (1 million).
In the war of public opinion, the three parties are equally matched and no one can do anything to the other.
In terms of growth rate, two companies relied on funds and one relied on social games, and the user scale continued to spiral upward, and the three companies were temporarily in a stalemate.
At this moment, Bi'an Technology finally revealed its long-hidden fangs, breaking the fragile balance between the three.
As the mobile social war enters a critical period.
Mobile QQ and Fetion, which originally held the top two positions, have not seen much change in the number of users, but their monthly active users and market share have shrunk significantly.
The money-throwing war went on for a long time, and while the other companies were thriving, the top two were very sluggish.
QQ Mobile is doing okay, barely maintaining the first place in market share, while Fetion has dropped to fourth place, only slightly better than Wangxin, but it is also extremely limited and may be surpassed soon.
The person in charge of Fetion saw it and said, "Huh? How come I'm almost dead while you're fighting? Report it quickly."
In fact, as early as the beginning of the month, Fetion's risk report was submitted to China Mobile's leadership, including but not limited to the poaching of the technical team, the slow cycle of feature iteration, the necessity of free interoperability among three networks, and financial support, among other feedback and suggestions.
But the relevant leaders of China Mobile were also worried. After "unremitting efforts" and coordination among all parties, the interconnection among the three networks was finally free in late June. But it was too late now. Whether in terms of functions or benefits, the current Fetion is far behind Weilian, WeChat, and Wangxin, not to mention Weimi and YiXin. It seems like a product of the previous era.
Fetion, which was once popular, has now declined.
On June 6, Bi'an Technology, which had been preparing for many days, took action.
"10 billion in cash, a reward for those of you who have never left us!"
Chen Mo gritted his teeth and took out all the money he had earned except for the cost of maintaining the company's operations to make up the total.
The main idea is that I’m done, you guys can do whatever you want!
This reflects the special feature of Bi'an Technology. Currently, Bi'an's shareholders only have the right to dividends but not the right to vote. In other words, Chen Mo has the final say.
The other side does not need the existence of a second voice!
Perhaps such a situation would be extremely dangerous in other companies, but it is different at Bi'an, because the boss of Bi'an is called Chen Mo!
The official website and official WeChat account of Bi'an Technology, the official WeChat account of WeChat, Chen Mo's personal Weibo, and the Bi'an media resources are bombarding the message from all directions.
As soon as the two pieces of news came out, the Internet circle was shocked. Now there was no voice pessimistic about the other side, but everyone was dumbfounded.
No one expected that, first of all, how could such a mediocre company like Bi'an Technology get so much money? It couldn't have been earned in just one month, right? When did the monetization ability of small games become so terrifying?
Second, the mini-games produced by the other side are endless, just like the Doraemon in which rock-paper-scissors always produces rock, and you can never guess how many games will be produced in the future.
"WeChat uses its big move to give someone a taste of their own medicine"
WeChat King Bomb, One Three
"How should Tencent and Alibaba respond when they are caught in the crossfire?"
The mobile social war may be coming to an end
After seeing the media reports, many netizens were overwhelmed with joy. For nearly a month, every day was like Chinese New Year.
There are even diligent netizens who did the math and found that the amount was almost as much as half a month's salary. Now, as long as you use social software and complete tasks diligently, you can even earn more than the hourly wage of working on an assembly line.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that manufacturers claim that assembly line workers receive a monthly salary of nearly 10,000 yuan, including food and accommodation.
In fact, you will know it once you get in. It is earned by working more than 12 hours a day. If you calculate the average hourly wage, it is among the lowest in the world.
The launch of the WeChat event doubled their favorability.
The money they spent on WeChat can be repaid one day, so they will feel less sorry about spending money on WeChat in the future.
Netizens were in a frenzy as they received unexpected money.
Once the fathers on the Internet are happy, the effect will be great.
On June 6, the number of WeChat users surged by 24 million, directly matching that of Wechat. Just a few hours later, it overtook WeChat and reversed the decline to become number one.
The media turned into waiting stones, wanting to see the reactions from Tencent and Alibaba, but there was no movement.
The two Ma's felt no happiness but only pain, the kind of pain of regret. For the first time, they both fell into hesitation and entanglement.
Don’t follow it. Although the previous 15 billion cannot be said to have been wasted, it is definitely a loss.
But if I continue to raise the stakes, who knows what will happen next on the other side, will there be a third wave? Lao Ma paced around the office for a long time, and finally cursed in Chinese. He thought he could get a share of the pie, but he ran into a ghost. If he continued, it would be a bottomless pit.
After all, e-commerce is still its core business, and mobile social networking has become a swamp, so there is no need to continue. He then gave the order to end the Wangxin subsidy activity.
Old Ma can cut off his tail like a gecko, but Little Ma can't. This is Tencent's basic foundation, and he is not convinced. Why should the other side do that?
And is Chen Mo sick? He just throws away the money he just earned!
However, even though he cursed, he also admired this guy's determination to fight to the death. It was indeed very difficult for him, but no matter how difficult it was, there was always a solution.
WeChat has failed time and again, and the pressure from the board of directors has finally come to an end. The fire can only burn on Zhang Xiaolong's head.
This time when Zhang Xiaolong came to his house, Xiao Ma Ge deliberately avoided him. He didn't even go back to the office after the meeting, and left work out of fear that he would be out of sight and out of mind.
The next day, Xiao Ma Ge heard from his assistant that Mr. Zhang asked him to relay what WeChat was doing and how he was confident of overtaking in video chat.
Later, Pony Ma asked someone to check the surveillance footage and found that Zhang Xiaolong waited until 11 o'clock last night before leaving sadly.
Now that it has come to this, it is no longer a problem that can be solved by a few function updates. How can he still not understand it?
Even though he was angry, he knew that Zhang Xiaolong was a talented person. Out of old friendship, he did not fire him directly, but gave him a chance and told him to wait for another opportunity after this period of time. He hoped that Xiaolong could understand his good intentions.
Since he was not on the same page with him, Pony Ma immediately ordered Zhang Xiaolong to be removed from his position as general manager of the Guangzhou R&D Center and demoted him to deputy manager.
The general manager is Tang Daosheng, the group's senior executive vice president and the previous head of QQ and QQ Space.
Pony Ma gritted his teeth and persuaded the board of directors overnight to extract another 20 billion yuan from the group. He gave 10 billion yuan to Tang Daosheng to continue to distribute benefits on WeChat and plan a new version of WeChat, and the other 10 billion yuan was invested in media, publicity and Internet traffic.
He also bet that there was no third bullet in Chen Mo's gun. He didn't believe that he couldn't get a clear world with his money!
However, when he thought that the money used by Bi'an for the event might be their own money, Xiao Ma Ge felt so sad that he wanted to vomit blood.
The media's eager wait was not in vain.
On June 6, Tencent officially announced the third round of WeChat welfare relaxation, and continued to follow up with 25 billion~~~
Then there were only two opponents left at the table: WeChat with 1.8 million users vs. Weixin with 1.7 million users.
Over on the other side of the group buying war, whether it is WoWotuan, 24quan, Yingwei Lashou and Meituan, seeing the big investments on the social side, from the previous billion yuan to the current billion yuan, several bosses couldn't help but swallow their saliva. With such a comparison, it feels like the fighting they have been doing for the past year or so is just a joke.
Especially the founder of WoWo Tuan, who boasted to the media more than half a year ago, that he worries about how to spend 500 million every day when he wakes up.
Looking back now, it is simply a dark history that is too shameful to watch.
After this battle, Bi'an Technology, which has proven its worth, is now valued at US$10 billion and is competing with Tencent, which has a market value of US$400 billion.
This battle was also dubbed by the media as "the largest money-burning war in the history of China's Internet!"
Countless netizens saw that there was no money to be made in other social software, so many people chose to uninstall them, highlighting the ruthlessness of Ba Diao, and then turned to WeChat and Weichat.
Since Tencent has a very bad reputation in people's minds in the past, and seeing the media exaggeration, Bi'an Technology has brought them countless happiness in the past month, and the scale of the two is really pitifully small in comparison, many netizens started to make trouble out of sympathy for the weak.
"Don't cry WeChat, wait till we get rid of the WeChat wool and then we will support you~"
“We want to let those capitalists know that money is not omnipotent, at least when it comes to innovation!”
"It turns out there are products that Penguin can't copy. Tank Wars wants to copy Plane Wars? Haha~ Does the old lady agree with your copying?"
"Hey, have you seen the announcement on the WeChat official website? It seems that the person in charge of WeChat has changed."
"It doesn't matter who comes to power. Products that don't stand in solidarity with the people are doomed to fail!"
Even though many people are supporting micro-chat, the trend has already been established due to the joint offensive of the vast number of netizens and the other side's water army, and it can't make any waves at all.
Chen Mo, who was always keeping an eye on Tencent, called Zhang Changfa immediately after seeing the news of the change of leadership on WeChat.
"Hello, it's me. I sent you some information via email. Find a few reliable friends to go to Guangzhong and keep an eye on this guy named Zhang Xiaolong. Contact me immediately if you hear any resignation news.
Also, the computer room administrator I asked you to find earlier, let them get ready."
Now the whole army's attack has become a very useful weapon for him. It is a mysterious organization that combines intelligence, winning over, propaganda, and fighting.
I have known Zhang Changfa since the beginning of my journey, and subsequently we have experienced various collaborations, big and small. After the transformation of the All-Army Attack team, the effect was remarkable. There are dozens of middle and high-level technical personnel on the other side who were poached from various major Internet companies with the help of the All-Army Attack, and the remuneration paid for this also made the other party very satisfied.
Even so, Chen Mo asked Zhang Changfa to be more restrained in recruiting. Otherwise, with the current conditions at Bi'an, the popularity of WeChat, and the efficiency of the all-out attack, the efficiency of recruiting could at least be tripled, and by then the company would not be able to accommodate so many talents.
This is what gives Chen Mo a headache.
After the last fight, Chen Mo gave him a service fee, but Zhang Changfa did not take it back and returned it, saying it was a friendly favor.
The brothers who are going out in full force to attack are spread all over the country, their number is a mystery, and each of them is capable of both fighting and martial arts. There is no better team for ground promotion than them.
Chen Mo thought about waiting for the other side to develop for a while, and then talk to the long-haired brother to see if he could call off the entire army's attack.
In order to defend WeChat, all other matters of Bi'an took priority, and the original press conference was forced to be postponed for a period of time.
All this can only be done after he defeats Xiao Ma Ge first.
After all, in the era of mobile Internet, WeChat has everything.
