Chapter 260 Unswerable
Penguin''s quick movement is indeed very fast.
It comes in a hurry and goes there.
Yu Xing had to ask the old seniors to complain about the acquisition contact he encountered this time, and asked investors in the financing group: "Who is going to do this? Is this here to acquire?"
Zhang Suyang: "Overyone who feels good about himself or is really good at writing will do this."
Xu Xin followed: "Penguin, the vice president, is really awesome, he probably wants to attack."
Yu Xing replied: "Oh, so, then who are you?"
With such a casual sentence, the WeChat group immediately became quiet.
The flaw of text information is that sometimes you can’t fully see the tone. In addition, sometimes Mr. Yu is not a human being, and maybe he will be stimulated by the penguin to go crazy.
Xu Xin took a long time to break the situation and replied: "We are people who are easily injured by accident."
Then, she didn''t see Yu Xing and replied.
Xu Xin waited and waited, resisting the urge to directly @, thinking that the flaw of non-face-to-face communication is that not being able to scold him in person is simply a infection of Ah Q''s spirit.
Penguin failed to acquire contact and was also received as a "complaint".
Liu Chiping had no choice but to feel a fresh feeling.
He murmured after thinking for a while, "What kind of person is this Yu Xing?"
The information about Yu Xing is already on the desktop, but these words look quite complicated... and the phone call immediately made the words pale.
Seeing this, the secretary Hu Manmei next to him said a little angrily: "Mr. Liu, Yu Xing really doesn''t know how to be polite."
She didn''t care so much about speaking in private, she was talking about the most direct feeling.
Not only this time, the role played by Bai Xiaosheng in the public opinion of "Computer World" last time and Yu Xing''s performance were ungrateful!
Not to mention running away in sight, where is the minimum respect for giants?
But...
Workplace platforms are really a field that Penguin can’t interfere.
Liu Chiping glanced at the secretary and said lightly: "What do you want to do? Arrest him again?"
Hu Manmei noticed the vague dissatisfaction in Mr. Liu''s words, and immediately stopped what she wanted to say, and turned to it: "As long as we make efforts, Yu Xing will know why Penguin is the largest Internet company in China!"
The company is already developing products urgently, and she is quite confident that Penguin has the ability to compete with references. It may not sound that good, but what does commercial competition mean?
Liu Chiping was silent for a moment and commented: "It still needs to be paid attention to. Yu Xing''s WeChat is more threatening than Zhou Hongyi''s 360."
Hu Manmei looked at the president in surprise and confusion, but she didn''t expect that he would give such a high evaluation.
You should know that 360, which has successively launched privacy protectors and QQ bodyguards, has forced the company to "choose one of two" and even has to let him offline!
This WeChat company has not been established for a long time, can it be more threatening than it?
Of course there are a lot of users with two million, but compared to hundreds of millions of users in the field of instant messaging, it is a rain.
Hu Manmei doesn’t feel arrogant, one is billion and the other is million. This is the difference between heaven and earth, and Penguin will definitely not launch its competitors for more than one month!
"This WeChat has strong vitality. The WeChat company was registered in February and went online in July. The real large-scale offline promotion was in September. Have you read that research report?" Liu Chiping asked, "What do you think is the most intuitive thing about the whole report?"
Hu Manmei pondered for a while and said, "It quietly took a group of users from the campus?"
Liu Chiping expressed his opinion: "It is it that has won the likes of young people."
He sighed: "Whoever can get the use of young people is the future."
Hu Manmei respects the president''s view, but...
She still feels that this is not objective enough. This problem is not unsolvable, but is easy to solve. Since WeChat has been liked by young people, then Penguin just follows the likes of young people.
Is this difficult?
"Our company has reached the public opinion dilemma of today. This is..." Liu Chi-ping originally wanted to think deeply about the love of young people and the storms that they encountered this year, but when he saw Hu Manmei''s eyes became boring, he just asked, "Where is Pony?"
Hu Manmei replied, "He is meeting Wang Gongquan."
Liu Chiping sighed and wanted to wait until Pony finished chatting with Mr. Wang before systematically talking about the company''s strategy.
Working wave after wave, and it turns out that the company’s current strategy is problematic.
He had not agreed to such rough actions before, but... it has come to this point, and he should still pay attention to new threats.
Liu Chiping didn''t waste time thinking this way, so he sorted out his thoughts on the email first.
Regarding the emergence and size of WeChat, in addition to the recognition of young people, Yu Xing''s operations can also reflect something. He obviously has spare energy. It was not until he really debuted that he began to introduce Bai Xiaosheng''s traffic and promoted it on a large scale.
WeChat could get 2 million users before this, how many will it be now?
After explaining this paragraph, Liu Chiping thought for a moment and mentioned the latest valuation of WeChat in the email. Although the acquisition contact failed, it also received a valuation of US$100 million, which proves that the investors behind WeChat have reached a consensus to take a try.
With the initial users, the consensus of investors, the experienced founder, and the public image of Penguin falling into the valley...
Liu Chi-ping was born in Goldman Sachs and felt that even from his own perspective, he might be willing to take a try.
With such worries, the Penguin President actually sent the email in a flash, and then sent it directly to Pony for him to discuss it after reading it.
When Pony Ma received the email, his communication with Wang Gongquan was over.
This is the second time I have met with an old friend since the 3Q war. In fact, it hasn''t been a few days apart, but the situation is completely different.
The 3Q war is becoming fierce, and this incident shocked the business circle. As the former "Wantong Six Gentleman", Wang Gongquan has a certain reputation in the circle. He is not only an early investor of 360 and an early investor of Penguin. He once held meetings overnight to help Ponyma explore the company''s business model.
Because of such a connection, Wang Gongquan wanted to be an intermediary and specially found Pony Ma to chat for two hours.
In the past two hours, Pony Ma talked a lot, sticking to his position, completely refusing to compromise.
However, when we talked again this time, Pony Ma was much silent.
Wang Gongquan noticed this obvious change and knew that both public opinion and new opponents made Pony think, so he tried hard to persuade the Penguin to release the people and take the initiative to calm the incident.
"Pony, I said last time that your competition will be dangerous, not only public opinion, not only destroying the stability of the industry, but also someone wants to take advantage of the situation."
"Before I came here this time, I specifically asked Mr. Xiong, do you know what he said?"
"He said he is optimistic about Yu Xing and WeChat!"
Wang Gongquan mentioned IDG, which once held shares in Penguin.
Ponyma sighed, his attitude obviously eased: "I have no objection to Mr. Zhou. I just want to defend my company. That''s a matter of life and death."
What Wang Gongquan wants to say is swallowed in his throat, and those who have no opinions will lose contact. What if you have opinions?
He only said, "Where is this WeChat life and death just now? Pony, everyone is watching, not only netizens, not only public opinion!"
The fight was too much!
Pony Ma knew what Mr. Wang meant, but he nodded after thinking for a while.
Indeed, the 3Q battle needs to end, and Penguin has to face up to another opponent that emerges.
The popularity of Sina Weibo this year has actually put Penguin in a more stressful way, because it is a threat from social platforms. Instant messaging like WeChat, it goes a step further and directly blocks the ecological location of the mobile Internet.
This has to be full of energy.
Pony Ma ended his second exchange with Wang Gongquan, and will quickly end the market dispute that has been recorded in history by default.
At the end, he couldn''t help but ask Wang Gongquan again: "Mr. Wang, what do you think of this WeChat?"
"How is it?" Wang Gongquan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I can''t say what will happen to it, but it''s really convenient to use. I think it''s more convenient than QQ."
Pony Ma sent Wang Gongquan away.
Then, when he saw the email from Liu Chiping, he had to agree with his ideas. This year, whether it was publicly insulted by Computer World or being dragged into public opinion by 360 and forced to choose one of two, Pony Horse was mentally distressed. Looking back at these things, Penguin may have reached a node that had to change.
Pony Ma called Liu Chiping and said concisely: "I added you on WeChat, let''s chat on WeChat."
Competition in the field of instant messaging is worthy of seriousness, and seriousness starts with using competitors’ software.
…
News in the industry is always circulating very quickly.
On the first working day after the National Day holiday, Yu Xing was still seeing the latest gossip in the "WeChat Financing Group" on the way to Oriental Satellite TV to record the program.
Zhang Suyang: I heard from Mr. Xiong that Wang Gongquan went to see Mr. Ma again, and the 3Q battle is probably about to come to an end.
Xu Xin: What result did it happen? He killed the red clothes?
Zhang Suyang:…
After a while, Xu Xin also had news and directly @ Yu Xing.
Xu Xin: @Yu Xing, I have a friend who saw Mr. Ma’s registration in his address book.
Zhang Suyang: Hahaha, it probably is true. He will definitely try it. Alas, hey, Mr. Yu, please let the background screening and see if there is a WeChat group run by Penguin. Maybe they will discuss how to deal with you.
Yu Xing replied: WeChat absolutely protects user information. What''s so good about this? Come on.
He replied this, put down his mobile phone and told his secretary: "Lingling, call the company and ask them to search to see if they can see Ponyma''s information. There are so many users on WeChat, and it still needs to be reviewed for health information."
More mechanism, starting with Pony Horse.
However, Yu Xing felt that even if this person wanted to try WeChat, he would not talk about anything too sensitive. He was just doing QQ and would definitely pay attention to this aspect.
When he arrived at Oriental Satellite TV, Yu Xing suddenly remembered who Wang Gongquan was mentioned by Zhang Suyang.
Isn’t this the elopement emperor who publicly elopes on Weibo?
From this perspective, he has a great reputation?
Yu Xing thought of the vice president who came yesterday and felt more and more disgusting.
"You''re the One" by Oriental TV was recorded as usual.
However, the treatment for recording this day is completely different from before.
Yu Xing was in a hurry to get a traffic jam on the road. He heard the warm applause at the scene before he could say hello, and noticed the strange eyes of almost all the boss guests.
Host Zhang Shaogang introduced the guests in a routine manner, and his thoughts were particularly loud: "Welcome to Mr. Yu Xing, CEO of WeChat Company."
Yu Xing pinched the microphone and nodded in greeting.
The ratings of "You''re the One" are still good and are also very popular among young people. The ratings of this episode are probably full.
Yu Xing received a call from the producer yesterday. The other party was afraid that he would not come today, so he sincerely invited the effect and played the favor card, so he obviously did not want to miss such a great opportunity.
As expected, even the job seeker did not appear on the stage, and the host directly mentioned the recent business competition.
Zhang Shaogang first talked about 3Q and then talked about WeChat. As soon as he talked about WeChat, he could ask Yu Xing: "Mr. Yu, can we talk about WeChat directly? Don''t you mind?"
Yu Xing shook his head.
"Okay, Mr. Yu has launched WeChat, and compared with the college student group he promoted in our previous promotion, WeChat that has returned from this holiday has begun to benchmark QQ. So, do you think WeChat can last? "Zhang Shaogang asked the audience a question, "If you agree, please raise your hand."
After he said this, Yu Xing also looked at the audience curiously.
As a result, they raised their hands almost in one go.
Zhang Shaogang was surprised and said, "What the people want, then, what do the bosses here view the challenge the penguin next to you? Mr. Yu has allowed us to speak freely."
The BOSS guests were quiet for a short time, and then Mu Yan from Lily.com immediately spoke.
"Mr. Yu, this is what Shaogang asked about. If you want to hit him, just hit him, but if you hit him, you can''t hit me." Mu Yan first made everyone laugh, "I tried WeChat since President Yu first appeared as the CEO of WeChat company. It is indeed a good mobile software. However, objectively speaking, I think there is no chance in the domestic instant messaging field."
He talked freely: "Penguin has completed monopoly accumulation in this market, and can continue to attack other markets with this accumulation. Its status can be seen. WeChat''s courage is worthy of praise, but... it may be difficult."
Mu Yan is not optimistic about this, and others have expressed similar views.
On the one hand, everyone runs companies and knows the strictness of this kind of competition. Don’t look at the camera like a person, it’s a thousand miles away from a Penguin company!
On the other hand, they are all characters sitting here on the same stage. Why did Yu Xing jump out and **** the penguin? This awkward mentality is also very subtle.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop." Li Song from Zhenai.com heard the opinions of his peers and shouted to stop when it was his turn, and said, "I don''t understand the future of WeChat. I just want to know what kind of mood did President Yu make the instant messaging product?"
After chatting on the spot for a long time, the bosses talked about competition and products, but the parties involved had not spoken yet.
The lens is aimed at and the line of sight is shifted.
Yu Xing felt everyone’s expectations and said with a smile: “Even companies like Penguin can do it, why can’t I do it?”
When Li Song heard this, he immediately gave two words of evaluation: "Arrogant!"
The next second, he stood up directly from his seat and greeted the audience with both hands: "Give a arrogant applause!"
The audience heard the audience with extremely enthusiastic applause, and the young audience members liked this tone.
Indeed arrogance!
Which company is that kind of company? !
But this kind of words under public opinion are combined with young and sharp entrepreneurs, and the two complement each other.
Zhang Shaogang clapped and took the things handed over from the audience. After the applause disappeared, he laughed and said, "Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu, today''s show will give you a gift."
Yu Xing said curiously: "What gift?"
Zhang Shaogang trotted over, and after he arrived at Yu Xing, he took out the gift from the bag, and it looked like a long yellow sleeve.
He smiled and said, "The cooling has dropped recently and many viewers are concerned about your body. Our program team will give you a warm long sleeve."
Yu Xing was so amused that he refused, "Okay, okay, I appreciate it, just record the show."
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu, come on." The more Zhang Shaogang saw him refuse, the more he wanted to put his long sleeves on him.
There were continuous laughter at the scene.
The more these two people refused, the better the performance of the program.
Yu Xing had no choice but to follow the program team''s intentions and even put the large-size long-sleeved sleeves outside.
His style of doing this attracted everyone outside to the point of view.
There is a line on the back of the yellow long sleeves - if you catch him, you can''t catch me again.
The front is four words - protect the penguin.
Yu Xing spread his hands and saw the recording scene of such laughter for the first time.
Zhang Shaogang scored twice and sent a second gift. This time it was a hat with two words on it - WeChat.
Yu Xing had WeChat on his head, no scratches behind him, and was protected from the front, and welcomed everyone''s warmest laughter and applause.
He couldn''t help it, and turned his head and asked loudly in the background: "This episode can''t be broadcast, right? Can you broadcast it?"
The producer, who was also smiling so hard that he leaned back and forth, gave an OK gesture.
However, no matter whether it can be broadcast or not, such an image has been posted on Weibo first, and has begun to top the hot topic, and has been spread by users from all walks of life.
Yu Xing estimated that his image would be remembered for a long time, but the free communication effect must be very good, so he could only sacrifice himself and protect the penguin. He had no choice but to do so.
