Chapter 259 Collision (5k)
Once unveiled, WeChat has a user size of 2 million.
This is really shocking and has become one of the most surprising news before the end of the National Day holiday, and may only be after the loss of contact with the red clothes.
Before Yu Xing posted on Weibo, most people had never heard of WeChat''s name at all. Now, it feels like it suddenly jumped out of a stone. How can this software quietly gain so many users in the field of instant messaging? ?
Penguin is having a meeting, Sina is having a meeting, and Alibaba is also having a meeting, but everyone has different levels of meetings.
As the deputy director of operations of Taobao Mall, Cheng Xiangwen was dragged over to hold a meeting that night, talking about the development of the instant messaging field, and also mixed with some changes in the mobile Internet era.
Cheng Xiangwen once proposed the idea of ??instant messaging products internally. At that time, he was inspired by Yu Xing''s communication, but he was rejected if there was almost no trouble.
At this moment, he was talking in the conference room, looking at his bosses'' thoughtful expressions, and he felt very satisfied. What had he done long ago? He told you before, you must not listen!
However, when Cheng Xiangwen walked out of the conference room and was blown by the cool breeze, he also reflected on himself.
Yu Xing once said something that touched him. He said that most people at work are only willing to believe what they see, and only a few people can imagine what they cannot see. No matter how they say it is mobile, they will not have the motivation to do it when they don’t really see it appear in front of them. But, they have missed the biggest opportunity when they want to move.
Tsk, Mr. Yu’s words seem so sincere today…
They are so **** that they not only say that, they are really doing that!
After understanding the truth, he rushed up, regardless of whether it was a penguin or who was opposite...
Cheng Xiangwen was in a bit complicated. He had indeed thought about Mr. Yu''s invitation, but he had not seriously considered agreeing. Looking back now, isn''t he the most people he said that he could not imagine what he could not see? What else can I complain about my bosses?
He opened the car door and got into the car. He hesitated to look at the cell phone in his hand. Should he call Mr. Yu?
Please, the products I talked to with me before have achieved results, but now it seems very snobbish when I get together.
No, Mr. Yu’s words have been verified. Will you miss an opportunity to communicate with such a person?
Cheng Xiangwen hesitated for more than ten minutes, and finally pressed Mr. Yu’s mobile phone number with a little embarrassed mood.
Dudu, no answer!
Cheng Xiangwen''s heart sank, smiled mockingly, put down his cell phone, and drove home.
However, after driving for ten minutes, Mr. Yu''s call suddenly appeared on his phone.
Cheng Xiangwen quickly pulled the car aside and answered the phone.
"Hey, Mr. Cheng." Yu Xing''s tone was very ordinary, "I was busy just now and didn''t pay attention to my phone."
Cheng Xiangwen became happy: "Mr. Yu, congratulations, your WeChat is amazing!"
"Haha, it''s just started, and it''s a little early to congratulate you." Yu Xing smiled, "If we started the same, our number of users is already a lot, but with opponents like Penguin, we probably have to take half a step more."
Cheng Xiangwen said sincerely: "Mr. Yu, it''s so valuable to take this half step! But I not only congratulate WeChat on its surprising progress, but also admire Mr. Yu for his willingness to stand up at such a moment!"
When WeChat is unveiled, many things can be linked together.
Cheng Xiangwen talked about his analysis at Alibaba''s meeting today. WeChat has quietly grown to 2 million users in a "dark under the light" way, and it chose to raise the banner of fighting against Penguin at such a time, so it must use this to try to expand rapidly.
This is a realistic decision that has already emerged, and within the assumption, WeChat can continue to lurk.
But Mr. Yu chose the former, which was like a thunder sounding on the ground, which also inspired the morale of many people.
No matter what the previous confrontation had, he was indeed fighting against the giants and was lost due to it. Before time had passed, a new confrontation stood up, which made people feel a little bit emotional.
Yu Xing heard Cheng Xiangwen''s words and said, "Mr. Cheng, I didn''t think so much, but I just think that the benefits of WeChat are more than disadvantages."
"Mr. Yu, to be honest, I had a meeting at the company to discuss the appearance of WeChat before I got off work. I talked to my leaders about what you said to me at the beginning, and I was also very moved that WeChat is doing something that only a few people can imagine." Cheng Xiangwen said.
Yu Xing was really busy. The phone call was so fast that he saw Ali behind Cheng Xiangwen. He smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng said that, I really want to be soaring. WeChat is still a long way to go and there are great risks, but I also think the benefits will be great. Mr. Cheng, I invited you to work on WeChat before and do something together. This invitation is still valid today."
Cheng Xiangwen heard that President Yu was still worried about digging himself and was in a better mood. He pretended to be modest and said a few words, and finally said, "Mr. Yu, I will consider it seriously for my kindness."
Yu Xing smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Cheng, then let''s add WeChat first, and you can support me too."
The phone number is over, and WeChat adds it.
Cheng Xiangwen continued to drive, but compared to his previous self-deprecation, he became a little flattered and happy.
The person is still the same person, but he seems to be not the same person, who has accumulated 2 million users.
Yu Xing had a lot of calls that night, not only from what he knew before, but also from all kinds of people he didn''t know, but also from Bai Xiaosheng''s quick private messages.
Congratulations to the nodded friends. The media reporter wanted to interview, but the ones who had never met had a relationship, even...
Yu Xing also received a call from his father.
After he connected, he was a little unbelievable: "Dad, it won''t be that, won''t anyone come to me again through you, right?"
Yu Guosheng is very concise: "No, I just want to tell you that you have added you on WeChat, please pass it quickly."
Yu Xing: “…”
He hung up the phone and applied through a friend''s application, and then quickly saw a 99+ message appeared on his WeChat.
Hu Xubo, who was squatting at the door, noticed the helplessness on President Yu''s face, and suddenly said, "Mr. Yu, congratulations, it''s very hot."
"Mr. Hu...you can go back. It''s so late. Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang are both leaving..." Yu Xing glanced at the great **** and became even more helpless, "I won''t break the appointment."
Hu Xubo from Qiming Venture Capital learned the previous lessons and still sticks to WeChat, while IDG and Today Capital have both withdrawn first.
Hu Xubo smiled and said, "I am idle too. I can help you think of publicity plans if I have nothing to do. Isn''t it okay? I don''t want your money, but I want you to ask me for my money. What are you dissatisfied with? Do you think I''m in the way?"
As he said this, he squatted and moved two more steps outside.
Yu Xing really didn''t know how to evaluate this person''s behavior.
He could only give a thumbs up: "Mr. Hu, you really have many experts in the investment world."
Hu Xubo just thought it was a compliment.
Yu Xing was busy in the company and was busy until eleven o''clock in the night to experience the tranquility of getting off work.
He greeted the investor who was obviously sleepy: "Mr. Hu, I''m leaving, so too."
Hu Xubo was a little confused: "Oh, um, um, let''s go, let''s go, let''s go together."
When the cold wind blew at night, Hu Xubo woke up and saw Mr. Yu looking for the number. He accidentally took two steps closer. He saw that he was looking at Zhang Suyang''s phone number and said alertly: "Mr. Yu, what are you looking for Mr. Zhang? I''ll help you to learn more."
"What are you doing? There are too many WeChat messages, so I don''t want to read them. I want to call him again." Yu Xing said while walking, "The company has to send a batch of options. I''ll know this."
Hu Xubo knew about the option distribution of WeChat companies, and couldn''t help but persuade: "Mr. Yu, WeChat companies are indeed developing very fast, but I have never seen such a high frequency of option distribution. You can wait for another half a year to do this."
Yu Xing looked at his phone and changed his mind again. He planned to talk about this with Zhang Suyang and Xu Xin tomorrow, and replied: "Mr. Hu, do you think the competition between WeChat and Penguin is just a market competition?"
Hu Xubo''s mind was not slow, and he rubbed his face and understood: "Are you afraid that the penguin will poach people directly? Well... The strength of the penguin and WeChat companies is indeed too different. Mr. Yu, you are right, I have no objection."
How big is the gap in strength between WeChat and Penguin?
Even if it is ten thousand times.
This will inevitably face all-round problems, including but not limited to the WeChat team.
Hu Xubo was very convinced at this moment that if Penguin could poach the entire team directly, it would never be stingy, and the options in the hands of employees would be very critical at this time.
If, if, if WeChat companies can really not be strangled by Penguin, what kind of growth will the options in everyone''s hands grow?
Baidu''s listing makes money, and Penguin''s listing makes money, these are all examples that were presented a few years ago.
Of course, not everyone values ??long-term interests, but WeChat’s options are a good moat.
Hu Xubo asked: "Mr. Yu, have you ever thought about preventing penguins from poaching people in advance?"
Yu Xing shook his head: "I haven''t thought about it."
Immediately, he added: "But Mr. Liu on the sixth floor reminded me about this. He is an old player in recruitment. He has seen him and has helped others poach many people. Option bundling has a role in this regard. In addition, this has indeed made everyone play a 12% level in their work."
Talent is very important, the performance of talents is very important, and the stability of talents is also very important.
Hu Xubo looked at the moon in the night sky and said expectantly: "Mr. Yu, I really hope that the penguins will continue to make mistakes, so that our chances will be greater."
Yu Xing laughed: "Well, Mr. Hu, wait until your money is invested first." "Hey! Mr. Yu, hey, what do you mean?" Hu Xubo said loudly, "You promised me! You said just now that you wouldn''t break the appointment!"
"Just say that, I will not need it tomorrow. I''m very busy." Yu Xing ended his communication with investors and trotted back to the community.
Hu Xubo sighed and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the most critical thing and did not ask. He quickly shouted to President Yu''s back: "Mr. Yu, how many tens of thousands have it increased today?!"
Yu Xing replied without looking back: "250!"
2.5 million!
Hu Xubo felt a shock in his heart, and he could block the achievements of a month in one day!
The next moment, he was a little suspicious again. Mr. Yu meant this, didn’t he say he was 25, right?
Hu Xubo''s thoughts were full of thoughts, and he was envious, jealous and hated IDG and Today''s Capital again. Damn, the seniors are so shameless!
He got into the car and soon realized something again, maybe it was a shameless senior!
As of 24:00 on October 6, WeChat users have indeed exceeded 2.5 million. To be precise, this is the effect that took only four hours to complete, with an average increase of 105,000 per hour!
This effect really made Yu Xing have new thoughts in his mind.
Before going to bed, he called Xiaoying and expressed his ambitions: "Xiaoying, 420,000 users in four hours, do you think WeChat companies really have no chance? Can we really make WeChat work?"
"It depends on what kind of powerful penguin is. See if it is really such a giant. However, WeChat has obtained customers this time with free text messages and 3Q public opinion. If this company really needs to go down for a long time, how can it make the subsequent revenue? Penguin will always be eyeing it." Liu Wanying said this a few words, and then changed the subject, "But I support you to turn WeChat into a new penguin. If there is really hope, you can definitely take a try. If you do this long and I do this short, why will we be left with something."
Yu Xing took a deep breath and felt from the bottom of his heart that only by burning hard can he force the strongest penguin to make and judge how to choose.
This is at least in line with the momentum that WeChat company needs now.
On October 7, after a night of digestion of news, WeChat companies that have already negotiated cooperation with various channels showed the momentum of a starter. Whether it is major portals, Sina Weibo, or Baidu search, you can see WeChat advertisements.
At 8:30 that morning, Bai Xiaosheng, who had 3.4 million users, also gave the strongest cooperation and sent a private message from all users for the second time.
The latest storm and lake hunting order!
And, this time the pursuit of the world has become a hot topic on Sina Weibo.
Because the content of the private message on the entire site is "Protect penguins and support penguins. Please use WeChat more to break the monopoly, so that the penguins can wake up and not walk on the edge of the cliff."
Support Penguin and use WeChat more?
Well, the truth seems to be true. The monopoly penguin was beaten to become a public enemy by public opinion this year. So, isn’t it just to prevent it from monopoly to fight against poison?
#Protect Penguin#, #Fight poison with poison#, #Use WeChat# more!
Sina Weibo’s hot topics are very diligent, and I wish I could just top the news about the WeChat software throughout the year, but judging from the results of the past two days, it is almost the same as the top. The enthusiasm accumulated by the melon-eating crowd has been transferred to WeChat.
Yu Xing also posted a latest Weibo at noon, with the content: "Press protection in the comment area and push WeChat to others, and everyone will be good friends of Penguin."
After the technology upgrade and this time, the joke leader Yu Xing has really been loved by netizens, which has also maintained a high level in WeChat''s user growth today.
Today is the last day of the National Day holiday, and no one could have thought that the Penguin will usher in a strong opponent after this holiday.
However, Yu Xing did not expect that the team of Penguin flying from Pengcheng would be welcomed in the evening.
Five-person team, led by Vice President Lu Yanang, and the director and deputy director accompanied him.
The task of Lu Yan''ang''s trip this time was very simple, which was to buy a WeChat company.
After discussions between Penguin General Office last night and this morning, on the one hand, it is definitely the internal development of similar competitors, and on the other hand, it is the most direct acquisition method.
Opponent?
Simple, I''ll buy it.
Lu Yan''ang was assigned this task and was thinking along the way how to complete it and how to convince the founder of WeChat Company Yu Xing.
He looked at Yu Xing’s information on the way and found that it seemed not that simple, so he thought hard about how to suppress the other party.
In the end, Lu Yan''ang decided to use three sentences to show the heroic posture of the penguin.
"Mr. Yu, I want to tell you three words."
After introducing his identity, Lu Yan''ang stood in the conference room and started the show with great momentum.
Yu Xing actually didn''t have much experience in negotiating with others. He only had some experiences of insulting Tang Jun, angrily criticizing Xu Xin, reporting fugitives, and taking action on the show. At this moment, he saw the vice president of Penguin who did not play according to common sense, and his emotions were activated.
He felt that the person in front of him was a little crazy.
Lu Yan''ang looked at Yu Xing: "Mr. Yu, Penguin wants to buy your company!"
Yu Xing had no expression.
Lu Yan''ang said the second sentence: "The competitors that Penguin is already developing are about to be launched. If you don''t sell them, you will have to be in a short last time!"
Yu Xing still had no expression.
Lu Yan''ang''s last sentence: "WeChat is completely impossible to defeat the penguin, there is no possibility!"
Yu Xing felt that it was better to say that it was coming to demonstrate rather than talking about the acquisition, or perhaps this was just the first level of demonstration, and there was Huairou behind it? Need a slap and red dates?
He doesn''t understand.
Lu Yan''ang stared at the young man in front of him, trying to tell the other party about his confidence in winning with his eyes.
Yu Xing was silent for a long time, took out his cell phone, and asked an irrelevant question: "What is your leader''s phone number?"
Lu Yan''ang frowned: "Mr. Yu, I''m..."
Yu Xing interrupted, "I want to talk to your leader, which is very important."
Lu Yan''ang hesitated for two seconds and gave the phone call from President Liu Chiping to the other party. Perhaps Yu was already scared by Penguin''s quick reaction and realized that he was the third largest Internet giant in the world with market value.
It is the third largest in the world after Google and Amazon!
Anyone should be able to realize this weight!
Yu Xing dialed the phone and heard Liu Chiping''s voice. After pressing the voice-over, he said directly: "I am Yu Xing, please remember it."
Liu Chiping said "ah" and knew who Yu Xing was, but he didn''t know what this meant. He subconsciously took the notebook at hand.
"I originally wanted to sell the company to Penguin, but the Lu Yanang who came here is too unprofessional and arrogant." Yu Xing said seriously, "It is because there are too many unprofessional people that Penguin has fallen to its current level and gives us the opportunity to develop on WeChat."
Lu Yan''ang''s face turned pale in an instant.
Liu Chiping remained silent.
Yu Xing said again: "This is my complaint to him. I will come next time, so you, the president, will come here."
"About WeChat..." Liu Chiping had just spoken for a while and the phone was hung up.
Yu Xing put down his phone, signaled the inexplicable vice president of Penguin with his eyes, and pointed at the door.
Lu Yan''ang took a few steps, stopped by the door, and said, "Mr. Yu, if you don''t sell the company, you will regret it."
After he said this, he would continue to leave.
"Mr. Lv." Yu Xing stopped the person.
Lu Yan''ang turned around and took the arrogance from the giant: "Mr. Yu, this matter can be discussed."
Yu Xingtong knew: "WeChat company accepted investments from IDG and Today''s Capital, with a valuation of US$100 million. Can you make the decision to buy it now? Give you five seconds."
His countdown: "5, 4..."
Lu Yan''ang said in surprise and quickly: "$100 million? The premium for users like WeChat is too high."
Yu Xing’s countdown ends: “3, 2, 1.”
He shrugged: "Mr. Lu, can''t he make a decision?"
Lu Yan''ang was speechless. This premium valuation really couldn''t make the decision within five seconds.
Yu Xing pointed at the door again: "Let Liu Chiping come next time."
Lu Yan''ang could not answer this sentence and left silently under the gaze of all the employees of WeChat company.
Before the group could go out, Yu Xing announced loudly: "IDG and Today Capital have invested in us, with a valuation of US$100 million. The company will soon issue a new option!"
In the midst of jubilation and even boiling, the figures of the penguins and their group completely disappeared.
