Special troubles of rebirth

As a reborn person, Wang Yu actually already knew it.

Sina’s so-called big move is probably the first domestic Weibo platform: Sina Weibo!

In Wang Yu’s memory, in the middle of next month, Sina Weibo will begin internal testing. This is an information sharing and communication platform that provides entertainment and leisure life services to the public.

As this product became very popular in the market, Sina Weibo officially added the @ function and private message function. In addition, it also provides "comment" and "forward" functions for users to communicate.

Sina Weibo adopts the same promotion strategy as blogs, that is, inviting stars and celebrities to join in setting up microblogs and conducting real-name authentication on them. After authentication, users will have a letter "V" added to their usernames (certified personal letter V). is golden yellow, and the letter V of the certified enterprise is dark blue) to show the difference from ordinary users, and also to avoid the behavior of pretending to be a celebrity Weibo, but the Weibo functions are the same as ordinary users.

As of 2014, Weibo had 1.438 million monthly active users and 6660 million daily active users, including a large number of government agencies, officials, enterprises, and individual certified accounts. The open communication mechanism has made Sina Weibo the "public forum" of China.

It can be said that Weibo is a landmark product in the development process of Sina, and it is also Wang Zhidong's proud work.

In fact, this product was almost completed at the end of July and was released to test the market in mid-August, so it is not surprising that there is news in this regard.

Cao Guowei pursed his lips and deliberately said with a grimace: "I am very embarrassed. There are so many colleagues here. We have worked hard to develop a new product, but we are forced to expose it before it is released."

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and looked at Wang Yu and said: "I will suffer losses in this matter, and I will definitely blame you later!"

After laughing at himself and teasing, he replied to reporters: "Yes, our Sina will launch a new product next month, tentatively named "Weibo", which means micro blog. It is a social network based on user relationships. As a media platform, users can access it through various mobile terminals such as PCs and mobile phones to realize instant sharing, dissemination and interaction of information in the form of text, pictures, videos and other multimedia.”

Everyone in the circle has heard about it, but when it was officially revealed from Cao Guowei's mouth, it was different after all.

The most excited people in the audience are undoubtedly the reporters. This is heavyweight news.

There are also a few investment institutions with smiles on their faces. It looks like it is a new hot project.

“Weibo is based on an open platform architecture, providing a simple and unprecedented way for users to publish content publicly and in real time. Through fission communication, it allows users to interact with others and closely connect with the world. Weibo is a new entrance to the Internet after portals and search. , Weibo has changed the way information is disseminated and enabled instant sharing of information.”

Cao Guowei described the application prospects of Weibo's new product like an advertisement, then spread his hands and said: "That's all I can say. If I say one more word, I will be punished within the company!"

Everyone can understand, so the first question ends abruptly here.

Although the fruit orange was not discussed in detail and the time was short, everyone was satisfied.

Next it was Xiao Ma's turn, and he gave the right to ask questions to his peers.

The one who stood up was also a relatively young entrepreneur. He just glanced at the enlarged section and then selected the first question.

"Mr. Ma, does Tencent have the intention to expand into the gaming industry next? How do you personally view the prospects of this industry?"

As early as 2001, based on its large number of users, Tencent launched its first game QQ Hall. In 2003, it launched its first online game "Triumph". Calculating that they were making games relatively early.

Starting from Ninetowns in the early days, there were so many game companies, large and small, on the market. The market was really alluring. Chen Tianqiao from the Magic City represented a game called "Miracle" and showed something that absolutely subverted many people's views on this industry. awareness, so capital began to intervene in this industry.

Tencent didn't start too late in the early days, but it didn't do very well at the beginning, but its huge base of users was really terrifying. So when Tencent started to pay attention to this big piece of the market, it made a little effort and immediately There's a big chunk to go.

"As for the game industry, everyone knows that the market is huge. A few years ago, Mr. Chen of the Magic City unveiled it for us. We at Tencent have been following up on this aspect and have successively launched many products in recent years. game."

Xiao Ma responded with his usual smile: "Really speaking of achievements in this area, Mr. Wang has the most say among the five of us here. His Guoke Game has launched a number of popular games since its establishment. Welcome to the popular hit game, and he is eating this market cake with his mouth full."

This kind of salon-style forum is relatively casual, so Wang Yu responded with a smile: "Guoke Game just occupies the first-mover advantage. Mr. Ma relies on QQ's huge user base. With a little effort, he can catch up, or even surpass. Later, I have to discuss the matter of arrogance with Mr. Ma in private."

Brother Xiao Ma looked at Wang Yu and said, "You have creativity and successful experience, and I have basic users, so we can consider cooperation."

As soon as he said this, the audience was shocked.

Once Guoke Games reaches a cooperation agreement with Tencent, a new giant company in the gaming industry will definitely not be able to escape.

All the company bosses involved in this aspect of the industry suddenly looked solemn.

Fortunately, Wang Yu didn't pick up the conversation, otherwise the two big guys would have reached some kind of verbal agreement directly on the forum, and I'm sure some of the people below would have had their blood pressure rise and have difficulty breathing.

"I can make an estimate here."

After discussing a few topics about the game industry with others, Xiao Ma ended his speech with one sentence: "In the next ten years or so, the market pie of this industry will exceed 100 billion!"

"Too small!"

Wang Yu muttered to himself: "A big cake worth at least two to three hundred billion!"

After Xiao Ma's part was over, it was Wang Yu's turn next. He didn't deliberately click on the person who asked the question, and it turned out to be the person in charge of an investment institution.

"Originally, there were fixed options, but this morning Mr. Wang published a discussion on a new concept based on big data. For investment institutions like us, we hope to learn more about this information."

The questioner looked at Wang Yu and said, "I would like to ask, does Mr. Wang have any entrepreneurial behavior based on this aspect?"

Breaking out of the process set up by the host, he directly asked about topics of more interest, and everyone on and off the stage seemed to be more looking forward to Wang Yu discussing this issue.

"Well, I can't break the established rules, because once I take the lead, what if someone asks Jack Ma about the details of Pebble Beach?"

Wang Yu smiled and said: "That's a long story. You'd better choose a question within the established framework first. As for this question, there will be a banquet later. Friends who are interested can discuss it together and take a look. Is this okay?”

This suggestion was so pertinent that the questioner picked a question in the established section.

"It is reported that Apple's new generation of smartphones will be released soon, and there is also news from Samsung that they will step up the research and development of a new generation of smartphones. What new changes will the Guohu series of mobile phones have in the future to adapt to or lead the Internet era in the mobile phone industry? ?”

“It mainly relies on technological breakthroughs!”

Wang Yu thought for a while and then replied: "When the first generation of Guoke I was launched, the Guocheng takeaway APP was added directly to the appearance settings. The Weibo product described by Mr. Cao just now, in addition to linking to the PC In addition, it also supports mobile phone links. According to Moore's Law, our mobile phone memory chips will become more and more powerful. In the next five to ten years, it will no longer be a fantasy to put the functions of a computer into your hands."

As he said that, he looked at Jack Ma beside him: "You have been working on Alipay since 03, and it is still limited to PC. Once the functions of mobile phone chips are greatly improved, will you start mobile payment based on mobile terminals?"

Jack Ma showed his iconic smile: "Our purpose is to change, to change ordinary people's past life, travel, shopping and other aspects. In the future society, you can check the world's affairs on your mobile phone while sitting at home. You can buy anything you need in your life at home, and all payments can be made through the mobile terminal, provided that, as Mr. Wang said, the mobile phone chip is powerful enough."

"I heard that Mr. Wang has also applied for a payment license. Does Engine Technology also have a strategic plan to develop in this area?"

In-depth discussion on the extension of this issue is allowed by the salon format. The following people seized this opportunity to raise this tricky question: "The majority of users have become accustomed to a certain payment system. If more applications are not very widespread, If it is taken out, will it cause fragmentation and confusion in the market?"

"Engine Technology also needs to build a complete ecological chain. Don't forget, I also have a Guoke e-commerce platform!"

Wang Yu smiled, looked at the reporter who asked the question and said: "Just like the GPS navigation system we use now, it's not that it has not been partially shut down by someone, and whether it is used or not is two different things!"

The reporter quickly asked questions: "According to what Mr. Wang just said, is it possible to form a relatively fierce business competition environment with Alipay or other payment systems in the future?"

Faced with such questions, many people present had strange expressions on their faces.

Even Jack Ma on the side watched Wang Yu's answer with great interest.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Wang Yu nodded and asked a media person next to the reporter: "Which media are you from?"

"I'm from the news department of Shanghai Evening News."

The little girl in question was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the topic turned to her.

Wang Yu did not continue, and turned to the reporter who asked the question: "Now that Sina has conveyed the news of this forum, there is no need for you to waste social resources again. Go back and suggest that your boss closes his business. Competition?”

The questions were sharp and the replies were sophisticated.

This use of Zi's spear to attack Zi's shield immediately aroused laughter in the venue.

Amidst the laughter, Wang Yu added without hesitation: "My presence can properly urge Alipay to establish a more complete service mechanism. Healthy competition will only prosper the market and give the public more choices!"

This response is not only for the media, but also for everyone present.

Engine technology is also a giant!
