Chapter 198 Two-level reversal, Tengda reaps the consequences!
"If Weixin Pay is launched at the end of the year, it will be half a year later than Caifutong. Is it really okay?"
Zhao Xiaohu raised his concerns.
Although he has resigned from Tenda, Zhao Xiaohu is still well aware of Tenda's R&D and marketing capabilities. He knows that half a year is enough for Tenda to establish a leading advantage over Weixin.
"Even MiLiao will be connected to Zhifu Bao in the near future."
"What do you think is the essence of mobile payment?" Zhang Shuo asked without answering.
"???"
Zhao Xiaohu was obviously taken aback, thought for a moment and said: "The key lies in the carrier of mobile payment?"
"clever!"
Zhang Shuo was very happy and said with a smile: "The victory or defeat in the payment field has never been about the payment itself. The success of Zhifubao does not mean how excellent Zhifubao itself is or how good the user experience is.
Instead, it relies on Mobao, a powerful transaction carrier. This is unmatched by other software."
In fact.
The user experience of Zhifubao APP is really difficult to describe, it is too complicated and confusing.
It's dazzling to see.
But there is no way, as long as you are shopping on Mobao, you can't avoid getting rich.
This is the foundation of getting rich.
"So, if Weixin Payment wants to succeed, it does not depend on the external competition situation, but on how much market share Weixin itself can have and how much user loyalty it can gain."
Original time and space.
On the surface, Weixin Payment was started with the help of Spring Festival red envelope marketing, but the essence lies in Weixin’s massive user base and Weixin’s simple UI interface.
Even without Spring Festival marketing, there is a high probability that Weixin Pay will still become popular.
"I see."
After being prompted by Zhang Shuo, Zhao Xiaohu quickly understood the essence of mobile payment.
No wonder Zhang Shuo is not in a hurry.
For Weixin, the most important thing at this stage is to continue to consolidate market share and compete with ICQ for new smartphone users to ensure that it does not fall behind.
Everything else is secondary.
That’s why we need to pay more attention to user experience and not add random functions.
At this point in the conversation, the two of them have established a basic trusting relationship. At least Zhao Xiaohu is very satisfied and is very glad that he decided to join Qinghe Technology.
Watch now.
This move was indeed the right one.
He is now looking forward to taking Weixin to a whole new level, competing with the ICQ Chamber, and jointly carving up the domestic social market.
near future.
It may not be possible to use Weixin as a connector to create another "Tengda".
How could you not be excited?!
At the end of the conversation, Zhang Shuo told Zhao Xiaohu, "We must divest WiChat-related assets to the newly established subsidiary as soon as possible in order to reach an agreement with Jiaoyang Holdings and avoid intellectual property disputes."
In order to promote the overseas sales of WiChat, Lu Kai has gone to the beautiful country.
This side of the country.
Qinghe Technology is also required to complete the cutting of WiChat.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter."
Before Zhao Xiaohu joined Qinghe Technology, Moya had already decided to sell WiChat and let WiChat operate independently overseas, giving up overseas markets.
Although he didn't quite understand it, Zhao Xiaohu couldn't overturn the decision already made by the holding company.
You can only execute it obediently.
Moreover, from the conversation with Zhang Shuo just now, Zhao Xiaohu also realized that Zhang Shuo is definitely not a short-sighted person, and there must be some deep meaning in making such an unexpected decision.
He didn't bother to think too much.
…………
After Zhao Xiaohu left, Zhang Shuo turned on the computer and started browsing emails.
Among them was one sent by Gu Mingzhang from Finland.
According to Gu Mingzhang, he has obtained the understanding from Nokia headquarters and can negotiate patent licenses with Nokia as vice president of Moya before completing the resignation process.
After all, this is a huge order worth nearly 10 billion, and Nokia will be flexible when it needs to be.
It can't affect making money.
Seeing a series of failures in smartphones, Nokia is eager to have more mobile phone manufacturers buy patent licenses, so that it can gain some blood.
Maybe we can use this huge sum of money to revive the smartphone industry.
At least I can give it another try.
Especially for companies like Maili Technology, one purchase is a ten-year non-exclusive patent license, and it is also a full set of patent licenses. It is simply a super big customer that cannot be seen in a century.
You must take care of yourself.
In view of this, Nokia not only gave the green light to Gu Mingzhang's resignation, but also gave the green light as much as possible to the team members that Gu Mingzhang favored.
This shows Nokia's urgency in this matter.
Since the progress of the contact was much smoother than expected, Gu Mingzhang sent an email to Zhang Shuo, not only to report on the progress of the work, but also to request that Sprout Holdings send a negotiation team to Finland.
Of course, Gu Mingzhang cannot negotiate a contract worth nearly 10 billion by himself. He must be equipped with a professional team including technology, legal affairs, finance, etc.
If necessary.
You may even need to hire professional business negotiators.
Of course, Zhang Shuo didn't hesitate and directly asked Wu Xian, the legal department manager, Han Mei, the financial department manager, and the deputy manager of the investment and M&A department to form a luxury negotiation team.
Immediately fly to the Europa continent to meet up with Gu Mingzhang.
Of course, the entire negotiation process was still dominated by Gu Mingzhang, and there was no need to even report to Zhang Shuo.
It shows Zhang Shuo’s absolute trust in Gu Mingzhang.
In addition to Gu Mingzhang, Cao Yanhua also quietly went to Beautiful Country with a few people a few days ago, preparing to contact EPIC to discuss investment cooperation.
Oh, right!
There is also Lu Kai, who is also traveling in the beautiful country, and is busy contacting the Thieves Group.
While Ahri and Tengda were still closely following every move of Mei Ya in China, Mei Ya was already becoming more and more active in the international market.
This is probably beyond the expectations of many people.
…………
Thursday, May 12th.
Tenda Building.
"Boss, in just these two days, forty-eight people in the WeChat project department have submitted resignation reports." Yu Wei, the newly appointed head of the WeChat project, had a sad face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You must know that although it has received support from headquarters personnel many times, the WeChat development team has only grown to the present, with the total number of people barely breaking through the 150-person mark.
This means that nearly one-third of the people will resign, and the team will almost face disintegration.
"Did Zhao Xiaohu do it?"
Renyu's face is also ugly.
After the news of Zhao Xiaohu joining Qinghe Technology spread, the one that suffered the biggest shock was the WeChat project team, and Rengyu also expected that some people would resign.
This is almost inevitable.
It’s just that Renyu never expected that so many people would resign, which caught him off guard and completely underestimated Zhao Xiaohu’s influence on the WeChat team.
"should be."
Because the resignation report had not yet been approved, Yu Wei did not dare to speak too fully.
The reason why such a large-scale wave of resignations broke out was not only the inducement of Zhao Xiaohu, but also the 180-degree turn in the positioning of Wechat, which caused dissatisfaction among many developers.
You might as well resign together.
Yu Wei did not dare to reveal this information to Renyu, for fear of being in trouble.
"The resignation reports have been handed in, so hurry up and approve them and let them go." Renyu acted more decisively than Yu Wei, "It saves these people from staying in the project, doing nothing, and snooping on the Wechat R&D process."
Because even if Tengda suppresses the resignation report and refuses to approve it, it can only last for a month at most.
next month.
People should go or have to go.
Moreover, Qinghe Technology is not an empty post half a year ago, nor is it just waiting for this group of developers to come in and forcibly hold them back, which will actually affect the development progress of Wechat itself.
It's not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
"What about the staff gap?" Yu Wei asked tentatively.
He hurriedly came from Yangcheng to cry, which was of course a performance, but mainly to ask for help.
Wechat development is also at a critical period.
It needs to be revised to focus on socializing with strangers, it needs to add a "Game Center" function, and it needs to be connected to pay. It doesn't hesitate to re-engineer the program.
No wonder Yu Wei was so anxious.
Although it is said that he was lucky enough to take over the WeChat project, given the cruel competition mechanism within Tenda, if Yu Wei cannot achieve results in a short period of time.
You may not be able to secure your current position.
"The headquarters will try its best to make arrangements. If it's really not enough, we'll have to do this for the time being." Renyu is not that easy to talk to.
The headquarters cannot be said to be a "loose talent boy". The headquarters can dispatch as many people as necessary for reinforcement at any time, as many people are needed for the following projects.
What's more, it is even more difficult to coordinate from the Binhai City headquarters to the Yangcheng branch.
the most important is.
As the importance of the WeChat project decreases, it does not require too many developers.
"All right!"
Yu Wei felt a little depressed and ran back to Yangcheng in despair.
Rengyu's forehead was feeling a dull swelling and pain.
In the past half month, one unfavorable thing has happened one after another. First, game developers such as Martin and others were poached by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, and then Zhao Xiaohu "abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side."
Then there is the wave of resignations that happened today.
Suddenly looking back, Tengda's previous suppression measures against Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment were all reversed by Moya Ya in the blink of an eye.
How can I not have a headache?
In addition, regarding the WeChat infringement incident, Tenda lost the lawsuit for the second time.
Cao Xi also reacted, saying that the game planner hired from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment was not worthy of his name. After observing him for only half a month, he did not show much dazzling talent.
"They are just a bunch of parallel imports." Cao Xi complained.
As a result, Renyu became less confident in the game studios it had snatched from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
I was still suspicious all day long.
I wonder if I have fallen into a trap.
The bad things happened one after another, and Renyu had long lost his previous high spirits. Now that he recalls the warning that the second master gave him before, it feels a little creepy.
"Merting is really a hedgehog, you can't touch it, you can't touch it." Rengyu almost gritted his teeth.
But what can be done?
From his position and standpoint, he could only keep fighting with Mo Ya.
