Zhang Dalong and Zhao Ying met once. Although it was just a one-time relationship, they still recognized each other.
"General Manager Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Su Wang. I am also entrusted by Mr. Su Wang to meet with you, Director Zhang. Mr. Su is a shareholder of Meituan.com and Fanfou.com, and he is also a shareholder of Meituan.com and Fanfou.com.
Major shareholder."
Zhang Dalong, who was shaking hands with Zhao Ying and looking at Su Wang curiously, had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't care about Kaixin.com, but Fanfou.com was one of his favorite websites, especially before the revision.
At that time, he often went to Fanfou.com, sometimes updating dozens of moods a day on it.
At that time, Fanfou.com was relatively pure, with no celebrities or big Vs. It was more of a place to vent one's feelings and talk about some technical issues. However, after the revision, he rarely visited Fanfou.com.
However, Zhang Dalong does not deny that the Fanfou.com before the revision was very suitable for him, but the Fanfou.com after the revision is more suitable for most people and more suitable for promotion.
After all, Yangchun Baixue is a niche. If an Internet company wants to become big, it must face the mass market. In this sense, the revision of Fanfou.com is successful.
Tencent Weibo, which was recently incubated within my company, is targeting Fanfou.com. Unfortunately, it has been incubated for almost half a year, and it has not exerted much pressure on Fanfou.com.
Although there are still people within the company who are still unwilling to give up, Zhang Dalong has already determined that Tencent Weibo is in a dead end in his heart. If a product cannot quickly open up the market and tear apart the siege of competitors, it will be difficult to survive.
One of the characteristics of the Internet industry is that it is born quickly. If you seize the market quickly, you will be slower every step. If you want to catch up, you will have to pay a huge price, and it may not be possible to catch up.
"Hello, Mr. Su!"
Zhang Dalong calmed down after being surprised. What he was thinking about was whether Mr. Su was from a big family. Chen Binghao from Kaixin.com and Wang Xing from Fanfou.com were members of this big family.
White gloves?
"General Manager Zhang, I have long admired your name."
Seeing Zhang Dalong, Su Wang was really excited. This man was the father of China Mobile Communications. Although he was standing on the giant Tencent, there was no denying his own awesomeness.
A grassroots entrepreneur, he created Foxmail software in 1997 and sold it for 12 million three years later. The company was then acquired by Tencent and he served as the general manager of Tencent's Yangcheng R&D Department.
The existence of mailbox competition even surpassed NetEase Mailbox later.
Of course, the most awesome thing is naturally the WeChat R&D team established later.
"Mr. Su is joking, I don't have any reputation."
Zhang Dalong smiled modestly. Su Wang knew that the other person didn't have a close relationship with him and that all he said were clichés, so he didn't continue to flatter him. The three of them sat down on the sofa.
"Manager Zhang, let me get straight to the point. This time I asked you to meet through Mr. Zhao. I want to dig you out of Tencent."
Zhang Dalong was not surprised at all by Su Wang's words. This was based on his guess. He half-jokingly said: "Mr. Su, do you want to poach me to work on Kaixin.com or Fanfou.com to develop email projects?"
"No, it has nothing to do with the mailbox project."
Su Wang shook his head, looked at Zhang Dalong, and said thoughtfully: "Manager Zhang became famous at a young age. To be honest, many founders in the Internet industry are juniors compared to Manager Zhang. With Manager Zhang's status, he went to Fanfou
Net and Kaixin.com, unless you hold the position of CEO, you will be underestimating your talents."
"Mr. Su, you are flattering me to death."
Zhang Dalong's eyes flashed slightly, but Su Wang caught it, which made Su Wang confirm in his heart that Zhang Dalong was indeed ambitious.
Thinking about it, when he was reading news reports in his previous life, some media reported that Tencent would launch a WeChat project. That was because Zhang Dalong took the initiative to mention it to Brother Ma. If Zhang Dalong had no ambition, he could have continued his email project.
.
As one of the earliest entrepreneurs on the Internet, seeing his younger generation become CEOs one by one, it was impossible for Zhang Dalong to say that he didn't have any ideas, but Su Wang was not afraid that Zhang Dalong had ideas, but was afraid that he had no ideas.
"General Manager Zhang, I believe that I have studied your resume and admire your technology and product development skills. I am very sincere in coming here this time. Let's put it this way, I will give full authority to this new project.
You are responsible, and at the same time, I will set up a separate company for this project, and you will also own 10% of the technology shares in this company."
Hearing Su Wang's words, Zhang Dalong's heart flashed with disdain. With his skills, it was impossible for him to take on any project with only 10% of the shares. Generally, he had to have at least 30%.
"Mr. Su, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I have no intention of leaving my job at the moment. I'm having a good time at Tencent."
"General Manager Zhang, don't refuse in a hurry. Listen to what I have to say, and at least understand what project I want you to develop, General Manager Zhang."
"All ears."
Su Wang looked at Zhang Dalong, because he wanted to judge from Zhang Dalong's facial expressions whether Zhang Dalong had any inkling of developing the WeChat communication project at this time. If so, it would be easier for him to guide him.
.
"I plan to make a mobile messaging software. Different from computer software, this software only runs on mobile terminals, mobile instant messaging software."
"Mobile instant messaging software?"
Zhang Dalong raised his eyebrows slightly. Although the movement was very slight, it was still caught by Su Wang. This made Su Wang sure that Zhang Dalong should have this idea in his mind at this time, just because of certain conditions.
When mature, it may still be just a seed.
"Mr. Su, I am an employee of Tencent. We at Tencent have always made instant messaging software. Isn't it inappropriate for you to talk to me about this?"
"I dare to tell you this, Manager Zhang, because I trust your character, Manager Zhang. Regardless of whether we can cooperate in the end, I hope to become friends with you, Manager Zhang."
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your trust, but I have no interest in instant messaging software, and to be honest, I don't think any domestic Internet company can compete with Tencent in terms of instant messaging software, not even Fetion."
.”
The underlying meaning of Zhang Dalong's words is very clear, which is to tell Su Wang that Fetion, which has a large traffic and large backing such as China Mobile, has been overwhelmed by Tencent, let alone a new company.
In Zhang Dalong's heart, the gene for instant messaging lies in Tencent.
Seeing that this negotiation failed, Su Wang was not surprised. If talents were so easy to find, they wouldn't be called talents. It was expected that Zhang Dalong was not interested in his project, but he felt a little disappointed.
.
As a reborn person, although Su Wang occupies things that originally belonged to others, he is still very kind in most cases. The founder of Kaixin.com is still Chen Binghao, and the founder of Fanfou.com is still Wang Xing.
Although Wang Xing lost Meituan, he still owns Fanfou, which is equivalent to Sina Weibo, so it cannot be said to be a loss.
But Su Wang must win the WeChat project. This project is the core. Think about how Tencent has easily copied Alipay’s WeChat payment, Pinduoduo, and a series of other products that Alibaba has spent a lot of money to build with WeChat.
Ecosystem.
WeChat, which has a traffic entrance of close to one billion, will hardly be defeated as long as Tencent does not commit suicide.
In contrast, Alibaba has always been risky, because shopping is ultimately a selective activity. Users can shop on Taobao or other platforms. Otherwise, Taobao has established its dominance for so many years.
Why are some e-commerce software still popping up like mushrooms after a rain, even gaining the favor of venture capital institutions, and living well in the shadow of Taobao?
Social networking, social networking is the most unique, especially after everyone is accustomed to one software, it will be difficult to move to another software, unless there is a cross-generation technology, but obviously Tencent will not give it to others
This kind of opportunity.
Since he couldn't take down Zhang Dalong, Su Wang could only say: Dalong, I'm sorry, I gave you a choice, but you didn't cherish it.
ps: I originally wanted to arrive at 12 o'clock sharp, but I found that I couldn't make it. Summing up in September, I felt a little overwhelmed in the last ten days. During the National Day, there were more blind dates. I couldn't help it. Alas, I still owe it.
Chapter Fourteen, Nine Lanterns are slowly returned.
By the way, it’s the National Day Harmony Time, so there’s no need to mention it in this chapter. It will resume after seven days, double the monthly ticket, and vote if you have a guaranteed monthly ticket.
