Chapter 364 Take away the name of WeChat with 1 yuan
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Liang took Su Jian and Xiao Lirang on the plane back to Yangcheng.
Li Xia and their group had returned to Yangcheng early in the morning.
Bolang has set up a special office in Beijing, which is similar to Bolang's window in the capital. Some trivial matters such as welcoming people and sending them are already part of their work, so Li Xia and the others don't have to worry about them.
Xiao Lirang was a little tired and started to take a nap soon after getting on the plane. The first class cabin on the big plane was okay and he could sleep soundly.
Su Jian touched the sleeping little Li Rang and also dozed off.
When she woke up again, the plane was already hovering over Yangcheng, and the sky outside was already like dusk, which was not very bright.
The driver drove the nanny car and came to pick up the person.
Wen Liang took Su Jian and Xiao Li Rang directly back to his home, but did not send them back.
Although Xiao Lirang was at an age where people would dislike a dog, but with Su Jian here, it wouldn't be a big problem for the two of them to get together as a couple.
Moreover, Xiao Lirang and Wen Liang have always gotten along very well and do not find her annoying.
After resting for an afternoon, Su Jian took Li Rang to prepare dinner after arriving home. Wen Liang's family did not hire a live-in cook, so the cleaning and sanitation were left to the same company as the Bolang manager's lounge.
At this age, Wen Liang is not used to having outsiders living in his home.
With his wealth, if he wants to solve the problem of eating, it should not be too simple. There is no need to go through too much trouble. Not to mention Bolang's canteen, all five-star hotels nearby can provide Mr. Wen with the most exquisite meal delivery service.
If you really can't, you can still go to your aunt's house for a meal.
After the meal, Su Jian changed into a set of home clothes, collapsed on the sofa, and then asked: "Has everything been settled in the capital?"
"Okay." Wen Liang replied.
"Is there any problem?"
"No."
"How about talking in the wall?"
"good."
So, Su Jian asked: "When can I finish my work?"
Wen Liang gave the time: "Next week."
"Okay, then I'll look at the arrangements." Su Jian looked pleased, hummed a tune, and started playing with Li Rang.
Wen Liang couldn't help but laugh.
This little girl is still worried about him, but most of the time she won't show it easily so as not to affect Wen Liang.
As Ms. Wang Wanhua said, Su Jian is a very suitable wife for him.
Able to handle all aspects of things.
He also understands the overall situation very well.
From Wen Liang's current point of view, there is nothing fishy between the two of them.
It doesn't matter if love hasn't happened yet, the feelings are still there.
There is nothing wrong with experiencing life step by step.

…………
Monday the 28th.
Mr. Wen Liangwen, who had not been to the company for a few days, still did not go to the company to order lunch. He slept until he was tired before getting up, then packed up and went to IFC.
I didn't go to the office area, but went directly into the reception hall of the Four Seasons Hotel, and then went up to the 70th floor.
Lixia is already waiting.
Mapelly, Liu Chiping, Zhang Sanshi and Shen Nanpeng have not arrived yet, and the time is scheduled to be in the afternoon.
Wen Liang flipped through the information prepared by Li Xia.
Mainly some key developments in the overseas plan.
It is worth mentioning that the total number of range users has experienced a blowout after exceeding 100 million, and is expected to exceed 200 million in February. This may be due to the wider coverage of 4G and the decline in the mobile phone industry in overseas markets.
.
The development situation of the international version of Xiaocheng Book is also good, and it is expected to have more than 100 million users in the next half month.
Compared with Weibo and QQ, which have promoted international versions very early, it can be regarded as a latecomer.
Li Xia added some information orally: "White Goose has invested a lot more in the overseas plan. Based on the QQ International version, they have vigorously promoted their pan-entertainment, but the effect is not very satisfactory."
"The international version of Weibo has no other plans. Instead, it is working steadily and gradually occupying a mainstream position in some small places. It can be said that it has established a foothold in a small area, but it has no hope of the North American and European markets."
"Our progress here is very stable. To a certain extent, it will be in line with Hai1's sales coverage area. The focus is also on Sta Apps. We do not spend too much effort to promote our application Internet ecology. The international version of Xiaocheng Book ranks high in the international social network.
The platform has the second fastest growth rate, and the first is range.”
"In this round of adjustments to the domestic social network, the total number of Xiaocheng Book users has exceeded 600 million, and its position is unshakable, because the included communication and social module functions are well-tuned, and except for QQ, there is no competing product of the same level.
, the volume of WeChat has also weakened a lot.”
Speaking of this, Lixia paused for a moment, and then said: "According to the analysis of information compiled by the relevant departments of the group, the main developer of WeChat has certain flaws in product operation."
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "It's a bit interesting."
Xiaolong was one of the first White Goose executives Wen Liang met, together with Ma Purley and Liu Chiping.
At that time Mapelley was considered a respectable person.
After all, Bolang was not yet a big company at that time.
Xiaolong barely spoke at that time, and Wen Liang had almost no direct initial impression of him, but he had many indirect impressions of him.
In his previous life, Xiaolong publicly stated on the Internet many times that hundreds of millions of people came to teach him how to make products every day.
He never listens.
Then make WeChat a piece of shit.
In the previous life, Wen Liang had experienced social networking on WeChat, which was indispensable for life and death, and the hot stuff on WeChat. There were too many things to list, and there were also many things that were deliberately designed to disgust users, such as roaming message synchronization for cerebral palsy, and group chats for extreme cerebral palsy.
You will never know how many group chats you have if you don't know how many group chats you have... 99% of this is Xiaolong's fault, and he did it on purpose.
What might be called a bug in other social products is called a damn feature on WeChat.
As long as users provide suggestions, Xiaolong will... hundreds of millions of people teach me how to make products every day.
And it’s only 2013, so everyone still knows how WeChat’s Tama user base exploded and then was suddenly suppressed.
Being able to get out of MiLiao, Fetion, etc., in addition to QQ diversion, doesn't it rely on horse racing? Then the whole blame was passed to Momo.
Now that the analysis team of Bolang Group has proposed such an idea, what else should Wen Liang say besides saying it is interesting?
Isn’t this an obvious way to save money?
What Wen Liang wants from the beginning to the end is not that spicy thing of WeChat. The R&D department of Bolang Group, which has been spread to various branches, is not stronger than the R&D department of Baieyangcheng?
All he wants is the name WeChat, and that White Goose will no longer bother with competing communication and social products, and develop his QQ properly, so that everyone can restrain and balance each other.
…………
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Wen Liang met Ma Perli and Liu Chiping who had come from Pengcheng in the private banquet hall of Four Seasons.
Of course Zhang Sanshi, Shen Nanpeng and others will not be arranged to interfere in this wave.
The two parties briefly exchanged greetings for a while.
Liu Chiping spoke with flattery.
"Mr. Wen is still tough."
"Do what you do."
"Under such great pressure, Bolang Group remained motionless."
Wen Liang said with a playful smile: "Speak more, I like to hear it."
Mapperly pushed up the pair of glasses worth more than two million yuan on the bridge of his nose and couldn't stop the smile on his face: "Mr. Wen is still so humorous. No wonder he dominates the capital."
"Listen, Mr. Liu, learn from Director Ma." Wen Liang marveled, "I still have to thank Director Ma for holding on at the critical moment and giving us a chance to breathe."
Mapperly: "Fuck..."
Liu Chiping: "You are riding a horse..."
The two of them were too lazy to hold back and cursed directly. They are all so familiar, right?
"Mr. Liu, you can't get angry in a hurry at this age, you will age quickly." Wen Liang comforted him lightly, "I heard that you have been a little anxious recently. In fact, it is not a big deal. The market should be amplified."
Liu Chiping shook his head helplessly: "I can't hide anything from Mr. Wen. The people below are too anxious. They have to run before they learn to walk. It is inevitable that they will stumble in a big market like overseas."
Wen Liang was referring to the fact that White Goose has pushed their pan-entertainment too hard, and now its performance in overseas markets is not as good as the international version of Weibo.
Mapperli is not so anxious or angry about these specific businesses. He has really "enlightened" from a series of things such as 3Q, and his behavior has become much more low-key. Not to mention, he even mentioned basic research theories on some key occasions some time ago.
.
It is said that our mobile payment and other things are developing very fast, and they are given various titles, but the foundation is in the West. These things are like desert castles, which will fall down as soon as they are pushed.
In Wen Liang's impression, Mapelly's attitude was at least after 2017.
It’s no wonder that another horse is gone in 2022. His life was so nourishing that someone went to the photos to put eye drops on him.
After chatting for a while, Wen Liang took the initiative to get to the point: "We are more interested in the name WeChat and want to use it to promote a simpler thing for corporate employees."
Be open and honest, don't hide anything.
Wen Liang had earlier put forward some opinions on the development of WeChat. In the second half of last year, the development of WeChat almost stagnated. Not only did it fail to exceed 200 million users, but there were also more silent users.
Neither Mapperly nor Liu Chiping were surprised by this.
Liu Chiping was the first to express his position: "We have had some internal discussions, and Mr. Wen also knows the reasons for the emergence of WeChat. Now it seems that it may be better to focus on QQ to avoid wasting internal resources."
Mapperli was more direct and straight to the point: "Mr. Wen is not interested in the Yangcheng R&D Department?"
Wen Liang said calmly: "Xiaolong is an excellent talent, and your Yangcheng R&D team is also excellent. It would be false to say that you are not interested, but Bolang really can't afford it. We need to travel lightly when applying the Internet."
He really has no interest in the WeChat product.
Without rivals and without considering commercialization, it would not be difficult to develop a new WeChat using existing resources.
As for other platforms that you want to use, you have to ask QQ and Xiaocheng Shu if they agree.
Wen Liang's intention was so clear that Liu Chiping had trouble making an offer, and Maperli was also a little hesitant.
They have a strange feeling.
Wen Liang's so-called request for the name "WeChat" is just to reduce the burden on White Goose and give a good start to other subsequent negotiations.
After all, this time the two companies will work together to explore overseas markets.
This feeling is very unreliable.
But in the end, Mapperly made the decision and transferred the WeChat trademark and name to Bolang at a very low price.
How cheap...
1 yuan.
Because Bolang doesn’t want WeChat as a product, let alone WeChat users, White Goose also has a necessity to travel lightly in key areas, so a name doesn’t seem to matter.
Mainly due to internal discussions within White Goose, it was believed that the product WeChat could actually be merged into a QQ chat version.
It can also develop in a differentiated manner and be more unified.
The development of things is so bizarre.
Through the success of Xiaocheng Book, Bolang has completely suppressed the development of WeChat, and its value is no longer so prominent.
If White Goose focuses on investing resources in the development of QQ mobile version, it can still secure its position as the No. 1 mobile Internet communication and social networking company -
