The atmosphere in the conference room was subtle, and a set of the latest data was displayed on the big screen. ""QQ Speed" converted WeChat users xxx!"
""CrossFire" converted WeChat users xxx!
“As of now, the total number of WeChat users has reached 20 million!”
Zhang Xiaolong coughed and said: "The effect of the recent activities is still very significant, with an increase of 7 million to 8 million users in a short period of time.
We have not disclosed the data, and neither has 99. Both parties have tacitly played a secret card.
The last time WeChat disclosed the number of users was 20 million, that was two months ago, and now we have tied that number. Don’t worry about the strength of the group. Let’s keep up the good work and overtake WeChat!”
“I’m not going to throw cold water on this, what should I do if I use the 99 channel card?” someone asked.
"We are already developing our own APP channel, temporarily named [App Store]. Mr. Ma attaches great importance to this aspect and promises to provide sufficient resources for promotion."
"[App Store]?"
“When can it be launched online?” “It will be possible within the year!”
"That's great. We were already a step late in terms of channels, but fortunately it's not too late." The atmosphere became more lively.
We are not stupid. We know that 99 has Meizu and 360, which have huge channel advantages. But they don’t think they will lose. There is a gap of 10 million at most. The two sides will fight for a long time and sooner or later they will overtake.
In other words, both internal and external parties, including Zhang Xiaolong and Xiao Ma, all believed that the two sides were going to fight a long-term war. However, Yao Yuan did not think so at all.
It's approaching noon.
Jiang Chao drove back to Yingshi Building from a Hunan restaurant.
When he passed by Sigma, he took a few glances and felt that it was still very lively, with people coming in and out, but he knew that it must be crazy inside, especially the WeChat department.
"Bah!" "Let you be arrogant!"
He spat, parked the car in the underground parking lot, took out a card, got into the elevator dedicated to Mr. Yao, and flew directly to the office.
“Bought it back!”
"Yeah, just in time, come and eat together!"
Yao Yuan was sitting on the sofa for entertaining guests. On the coffee table were the canteen dishes that Cheng Wei brought back. He chose three vegetarian dishes, plus a dish of duck, duck head, duck intestines, duck neck and so on.
Jiang Chao also put the dishes on the table, including beef noodles, ginger-spiced snake, and stir-fried bacon with dried radish. Yao Yuan brought the beef noodles over politely and gestured with his chopsticks: "Let's eat! Let's eat!"
Today, Jiang Chao has basically passed the test and has been confirmed to be the next assistant. He also has a similar taste for his boss, and he is flattering and flattering even more than Cheng Wei.
They didn't show any pretense, they picked up their bowls and started eating.
Everyone is full of praise for the spicy ginger snake. This dish is made of black snake, pork belly, and old ginger. It is first put in a pressure cooker for a few minutes and then stir-fried. It is fragrant and nourishing.
"Bah liu ba liu!"
Yao Yuan was very happy and rarely talked about work during the meal.
He ate most of the bowl of noodles and stopped eating. He picked up a duck head and scratched it. Chicken heads and duck heads were nothing to eat. The scratchy ones just had a taste.
Some people say that it contains heavy metals and should not be eaten. Yao Yuan never cares about this. Crayfish and catfish are so satisfying to eat.
Cheng Wei and Jiang Chao are a foodie based on their body shape, so they have similar interests. Jiang Chao gnawed on a duck neck and asked: Boss, how are things going in the United States?"
"It's almost over. After almost a year of hard work, I finally have all the rules and regulations sorted out. I'll have to fly over to sign the contract later. "Can Hugelive be launched within the year?"
"It should be possible, but there are not many works to be released online. No matter how soon "Black Robe Picket" is released, it will have to be next year. We will make more English films in the future."
"Mr. Yu didn't open a drama for Liu Yifei?" Cheng Wei suddenly gossiped.
"Not really, maybe I have some plans." Yao Yuan said.
"Hollywood's model is a white man paired with an Asian woman. They are just like a flower vase. If you want to be remembered, you have to either take off your clothes or make a fool of yourself." Jiang Chao looked like he knew very well, then took a duck neck and said: "There is depth." There are too few Asian characters, even if there are any
, the first choice is also Korean, Japanese...ah!"
He suddenly screamed like a little girl and dropped the duck neck in his hand on the table. "What are you doing?"
"Rat!" "Huh?"
Cheng Wei looked at it doubtfully and picked up the piece of duck neck: "It's just like a mouse head. It's making a fuss." "It's just a fuss."
Yao Yuan also looked at it and shrugged, "Shushu, it's actually a duck!" After finishing the meal.
Yao Yuan sat on his large chair, his back relaxed and his head slightly raised, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
Cheng Wei and Jiang Chao also took a break, wearing headphones and playing "Happy Landlords" online. The 99 Kaixin series already has 11 games, including the ancient "Happy Farm".
Yes, stealing food actually happened just a few years ago, but it seems like it was already a thing of the last century.
Not far from where they were, there was the whiteboard, with a lot of things written densely on it. Writing on the whiteboard was a habit that Yao Yuan started ten years ago.
Jiang Chao thought it was primitive at first, but now he thinks it's pretty good. Things written with a pen are simpler, more intuitive, and more impactful than data on a computer.
Right in the center of the whiteboard, a set of latest data is circled, which is the number of WeChat users: "30 million!"
Entering October, the competition between WeChat and WeChat has become fierce, but both parties have chosen not to disclose the data for the time being and are hiding it.
About half an hour later, Cheng Wei's computer prompted him to get up and go over to receive a piece of information. Then he walked next to Yao Yuan and said softly: "Would you like to take a look now?"
"Um!"
Yao Yuan opened his eyes, took the document and scanned it, sighing: "We have been fighting with Tencent for so many years, and almost every product can be benchmarked, one-on-one, and the situation is 50-50.
In terms of overall strength, they are even stronger.
Nowadays, they are all using their own methods. They have no new tricks, but we still have a card.
The sales volume of smartphones in July and August totaled 10 million, and in September it was 14 million. The sales of Meizu 3 have exceeded one million. The combined base is considerable, and it should be effective when put into the market."
"Do you want to start a new plan?" Cheng Wei asked. "Let's start!"
"good!"
Cheng Wei took Jiang Chao to work.
Yao Yuan stood up with his cell phone, left the office, and went to the window on the other side of the corridor.
Now that the National Day has passed and autumn has entered the capital, traffic is surging on the road in front of the Sigma Building, and pedestrians are wearing coats. Year after year, the four seasons cycle, and most people just pass by like this.
For him, a quarter, a month, or a week may become a historic turning point. Groups of the latest data flashed through Yao Yuan's mind:
"ZTE's global shipments of smartphones have exceeded 10 million! Domestic sales of ZTE V880 have exceeded 2 million!" "Huawei's global shipments of smartphones have also exceeded 10 million! C8650 sales have exceeded one million!"
"Coolpad plans to launch 13 thousand-yuan smartphones in the second half of the year, 10 of which are already on the market!" (Also...)
