"Mr. Lei, I think we can also make such a software. Compared with WeChat, we have our advantage, that is, we can use our own mobile phones to install and promote it."
"In the Internet era, we can't beat Tencent, but now there will be a good opportunity. This is the best time for us to enter the game."
Lei Jun listened to his subordinates' suggestions, thought for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Then let the project department establish the project. The project will be online in one month. Since WeChat has hit Tencent with a time lag that cannot be used, we must also speed up.
In terms of speed, I don’t think Tencent will just sit back and watch mobile communication software become bigger.”
As a very successful boss in the Internet industry, Lei Jun's vision is needless to say. In his view, with the breakthrough of mobile technology, the future will inevitably become the Internet era and become the mobile Internet, and this will be the major
Opportunities for Internet companies to reshuffle their cards.
The PC side cannot shake Tencent's QQ status, but the mobile side is not necessarily the same, and it is also the best opportunity now.
…
"Mr. Su, our current number of registered users has exceeded 1.5 million, with an increase of 500,000 downloads this day."
At the WeChat team headquarters, Li Feng happily reported the data to Su Wang. After comprehensive advertising, the number of downloads on this day caught up with the previous month. This data is very scary.
However, Su Wang was not very surprised by these data, because he had just obtained the data from Sutang Technology. Last night, the number of online views of Running Man reached a terrifying 40 million. Under this number of views,
Coupled with physical advertising, it would be crazy if it didn't have 500,000 downloads.
This is an advertising effect. I am afraid that the number of downloads will drop in the future, but in Su Wang’s view, if it can maintain 100,000 per day, it will be considered a success. After all, the current functions of WeChat are not particularly powerful.
"Mr. Su, when will we launch the second version?" Li Feng asked.
"When the second version will be launched, it depends on when our competitors enter the game."
Su Wang replied meaningfully. Launching a new version at this time can naturally attract more users, but it is also very easy for competitors to imitate and follow suit.
Many people may think that Su Wang is thinking too much. No one would have thought of the functions of WeChat, which are just voice chat and sending pictures. But in fact, this is viewed from the perspective of those who have experienced it and have done development work.
As you know, every function of a new product or new software needs to be carefully considered from project establishment to testing, including the design of the interface and the location of the menu.
If a new version is released now, competitors will just copy it.
Of course, this does not mean that if competitors do not enter the game, the version will never be updated. Su Wang’s plan is to update the version every two months. If a competitor enters the game, the version will be updated based on the opponent’s software.
"I understand. The other thing about the server is whether to buy the equipment yourself or rent it. For now, renting is enough."
"Buy."
Su Wang made the decision without hesitation. He has great confidence in WeChat and knows that for this kind of instant messaging software, the server is crucial. If the user experience is not good, it will be easy for the user to
Loss.
In the previous life, MiLiao was not incapable of competing with WeChat, but why it failed in the end was because they did not have the technical reserves for instant messaging. After being launched in a hurry, the software often had problems.
The server was down for several days, messages could not be sent, picture cards were sent, voice messages were lost, and users collectively went offline.
These problems have led to a large loss of MiLiao users, so Su Wang does not allow the problems encountered by MiLiao to appear on his own WeChat software. The best way is to buy a server and manage it himself.
"In addition, regarding data storage, Mr. Su, do we really need to build such a data storage center? The cost is not small. The most important thing is that it is not of much use at the moment."
"It's not very useful now, but it doesn't mean it won't be useful in the future. Users' data must be stored. If one day the user wants to find information, but in the end they find they can't find it, it will make the user's impression of our software worse."
Regarding the storage of user chat information, Su Wang knew that QQ had a paid storage option, and WeChat could do the same, but Su Wang felt it was unnecessary because it is actually a chat software, but WeChat is positioned as a social software.
A national-level social software must be all free, and all functions will not be charged. Unless it is a function developed by a third party, if the user wants to use it, payment is the user's own behavior.
"As for the data storage center, I have already chosen the address and construction will start soon. It is expected that it will be completed next year and will be put into use by the end of this year."
Regarding the address of the data storage center, Su Wang has already signed an agreement with his hometown government, which will provide free land to build a data center. Of course, it is not just a data center. According to what leader Chen told Su Wang
, my hometown wants to build a national-level Internet high-tech industrial park.
After talking about the WeChat issue, Su Wang did not rest there, and then came to Meituan. Although Meituan is now the most outstanding group buying website in China, and has developed a food delivery market due to the merger of Ele.me, it is not yet there.
To establish a dominant position.
The brutality of the Hundred Regiments War is no longer there, but the battle between Meituan, Koubei.com and Dianping is still going on, and the three parties are still in a fierce battle.
"Mr. Su, we currently only have 500 million in funds on our account. If we continue to burn money at the current level, we may not be able to support it for more than five months."
In the office of the general manager of Meituan, Zhang Xuhao had a wry smile on his face. He was burning more than 100 million yuan this month. He was burning money at such a rate that even he felt his heart beat faster. After all, this is not an entity. This is just the Internet industry. Once it fails,
If so, that means all the money is lost.
The real economy is burning money and losing money, so at least there will still be some real estate. But when the Internet company goes bankrupt, all that's left are these computers, which are probably not even worth a million dollars in total.
"Keep burning. If the money is not enough, I will find a way."
It is inevitable for Meituan to burn money. Su Wang has already known this. According to his estimation, at least 5 billion will have to be burned to end this battle.
If word-of-mouth and Dianping are willing to do so, they may have to burn more.
Thinking of this, Su Wang made a call. Sometimes, financing is also a good thing, because you can find more contacts and circles through financing.
