Su Wang, these two words have become popular all over the Internet recently.
Although this person is just a rising star, and may even be younger than the children of many people here, no one here dares to ignore this name.
Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com, especially the latter, are still a thorn in the hearts of many Tencent executives. This is the only company in Tencent's development that can still survive in the face of their full strength, and it is getting bigger and bigger.
of enterprises.
As the detailed introduction about Su Wang was revealed, people at Tencent knew that Su Wang played such a huge role in the development of Fanfou.com, including the development of Kaixin.com. From that time on, everyone remembered Su Wang.
Look at this person’s name.
Now, Su Wang has founded Meituan, and Tencent has also invested in Dianping. The two sides are fighting together again, and Meituan is still suppressing Dianping. This makes Tencent executives understand that in one sentence, the reputation
There are no virtuous people below.
"This software was created by Su Wang. What does Su Wang want to do? His Meituan is not a sure winner, but he still has the energy to do other things."
“Bite off more than you can chew, and it’s often not a good thing for young people to be too confident.”
Zhang Dalong heard the comments from his colleagues, and most of them felt that Su Wang's behavior was arrogant. It is a taboo in business to enter another field before a company has stabilized its profits.
This is just like marching to a battle. Before the two armies can decide the winner, a group of teams are separated to fight the third army. The result of spreading the military strength and energy will only be defeat on both sides.
However, Zhang Dalong didn't think so. He knew very well that Su Wang was definitely not arrogant, but had carefully considered it, because Su Wang had made an appointment with him a few months ago, but he could not make this matter public.
Although he rejected Su Wang, the workplace is the workplace. Once such things are said, I am afraid that Mr. Ma and many colleagues will be wary of him, even though he says he has a clear conscience.
"Dalong, what is your suggestion?"
Ma Krypton looked at Zhang Dalong. Zhang Dalong was the one he hired to take charge of QQ Mailbox. Zhang Dalong indeed lived up to his expectations. Under Zhang Dalong's leadership, QQ Mailbox's influence has gradually surpassed that of Yahoo!
and NetEase, so Ma Krypton still relies heavily on Zhang Dalong.
“My suggestion is that we also develop a similar product and not let WeChat take the lead.”
"I don't think it's necessary."
After Zhang Dalong finished speaking, the head of Tencent's QQ business department interrupted Zhang Dalong and said: "We already have an instant messaging product QQ, so there is no need to go to such trouble, and the mobile version of QQ is also well developed.
Really? This is completely unnecessary."
"Qq is qq, mobile instant messaging is mobile instant messaging, qq still has its limitations, because qq cannot replace the functions of making phone calls and sending text messages."
"QQ can't do it, so can WeChat do it?"
The person in charge of QQ looked at Zhang Dalong with a slightly mocking look. In his opinion, Zhang Dalong was simply whimsical. Even what QQ had not been able to do for so many years, it was simply impossible for a new software to do it.
.
"Because of its own attributes, qq is a PC-side product. Naturally, it cannot replace phone calls and text messages on the mobile side, but WeChat is already doing it. Take a look at WeChat's function of reading the address book."
Zhang Dalong pressed the button in his hand again, and the picture on the projector screen changed again. What appeared was the WeChat add address book friend function.
"We have this function in QQ, but the effect is not obvious. Network software is network software after all. Many users are not willing to introduce real contacts and relationship circles into the Internet. They prefer to enjoy their virtual selves on the Internet.
"
The person in charge of QQ looked at the audience and continued to explain: "In fact, we have analyzed user behavior data and found that users still separate the Internet and reality. The Internet represents virtuality, and reality is reality. Once
If you really combine the Internet with reality, many users will probably be repulsed by it."
"Suppose that among your QQ friends are your leaders, teachers, and elders, do you still dare to post casual comments at this time? Is the QQ space open to the outside world or not?"
"There is no way to solve these problems. The function of reading the address book is useless, because the network itself plays a role in escaping reality for users in many cases. To forcibly cancel this function is a kind of suicide behavior."
Listening to the words of the person in charge of the QQ business department, Zhang Dalong was not angry because he knew what the other person said was the truth.
"Mr. Chen, I agree with everything you said, but it is precisely because of my agreement that I said that I would create a new instant messaging app. This app is different from the virtual social network of QQ. The main function of this app is to communicate with acquaintances.
.”
"this……"
Chen Qiao didn't know what to say for a moment, and he found that what he said actually helped Zhang Dalong.
Of course, not being allowed to create other apps is not entirely out of consideration for the interests of his own department, but also his own true opinion. Now that Zhang Dalong says this, he can’t continue to oppose it, otherwise it will give people a
The feeling of deliberate obstruction.
"Old Liu, please tell me your opinion." Ma Krypton looked at a gentle man with glasses in a white shirt sitting not far away and called him.
"Okay, then I'll tell you my opinion."
Liu Zhi nodded and stood up. As he stood up, everyone's eyes fell on him, and everyone showed an expression of listening attentively.
Although Liu Zhi was not a member of Tencent's original founding team, no one present dared to ignore him. As one of Tencent's vice presidents, his status is not outstanding, but the department Liu Zhi controls is the most important in Tencent.
one of the departments.
Investment Department!
This is a new department established by Tencent, because after the development of the Internet over the years, Tencent executives have also realized that there are too many Internet fields. It is impossible to personally involve in every field, but they cannot ignore it, so the best way is
Well, it means investing in or acquiring start-up companies with potential in a certain field.
The Investment Department is responsible for this responsibility.
It is no exaggeration to say that all departments in Tencent work hard to perform performance and KPI assessments, and ultimately they are all to send money to the investment department so that the investment department has money to spend. Of course, Liu Zhi cannot spend money casually and has to spend a certain amount of money.
The results come.
"What Dalong said makes sense, and what Chen Qiao said is also correct. QQ is indeed not suitable for acquaintance communication. So in this case, it is okay to try to develop a software specifically for acquaintance communication. Technically it should not exist.
What a problem."
Liu Zhi's words made Zhang Dalong look happy, but before he could finish being happy, Liu Zhi's next words made his smile stop abruptly.
"But there is only one problem, because acquaintance communication will replace text messages and phone calls, and this is tantamount to competing with operators. The situation of our domestic operators is not known to everyone. For a product that does not know
Whether the software can be successful and whether it is worth fighting with the operators, this is what we need to consider."
Ma Krypton's face showed a thoughtful look, and other executives also agreed. Indeed, WeChat, a software with only a few million users, is nothing now. What needs to be considered now is, if such an app is really made,
How to deal with operators.
In the entire Internet industry, if there is a company that has the most dealings with operators, it must be Tencent.
The reason is very simple. To some extent, QQ is a software that is taking advantage of the operators. Many young people do not make calls or send voice messages, but use QQ to chat and send messages to their friends. When the operators first started
, but there are still some stumbling blocks.
Finally, the operators have finally accepted the existence of QQ. If the acquaintance communication software is launched at this time, the operators will probably be furious.
"Regarding this issue, I conducted an investigation on WeChat and found that WeChat also cooperates with China Connect operators. China Connect has launched a special phone card for the WeChat software. If you purchase the phone card, the data consumed by using the WeChat software is free.
.”
Since he wanted to make such software and understand his competitors, Zhang Dalong naturally conducted a detailed investigation. It is no exaggeration to say that apart from the WeChat team members, Zhang Dalong should be the one who knows the WeChat software best.
"Will LianTong agree?"
Tencent executives present had puzzled looks on their faces. Is China Connect's management out of their mind to agree to this behavior of celebrities snatching food? Or have China Connect's executives been bribed?
"That's the fact." Zhang Dalong spread his hands and continued: "So I think we can also talk to the operator. WeChat can cooperate with China Unicom, we can also cooperate with China Unicom, and even China Mobile Telecom
, the latter is much larger than Connected.”
Seeing Zhang Dalong's resolute attitude, other managers stopped talking and finally looked at Ma Jin. It was still up to Mr. Ma to decide whether the final project could be launched.
"Dalong, if you were asked to develop such a project, how long would it take you?"
"One and a half months will be enough." Zhang Dalong replied confidently.
"Okay, then I'll leave this project to you."
Ma Krypton has made a decision. He is not the kind of person who is hesitant. With the current size of the company, even if a project fails, it is nothing. The company can bear the loss.
"good."
Zhang Dalong did not refuse, he would make such a suggestion at the meeting, and he would be ready to take charge of the project.
"As for the operators, there is no need to contact them yet. We will consider the next step after we have a certain number of users."
Hearing Mr. Ma's words, Zhang Dalong knew that Mr. Ma didn't attach much importance to this project. He only agreed to establish the project out of concern for his own face. However, this also aroused his competitive spirit and he must make a decision.
A good product to prove that your vision is correct.
