Chapter 1271 Why Is WeChat so Valuable?

According to Xiao Qi's estimation, the value of WeChat as a whole can reach 150 billion US dollars.

But this is not to say that as long as you have WeChat, you can earn 150 billion U.S. dollars, that is simply a joke.

There are two very, very important reasons why Penguin’s market capitalization soared by about 100 billion U.S. dollars in the previous life. If one was missing, they would not be able to reach the market capitalization of 150 billion U.S. dollars estimated by many fund investment banks.

The first prerequisite is that Penguin has more than 800 million users. By 2013, the number of active users will reach 500 million. one-third.

If you remove the elderly and children, then it has more than half of the adult market.

It is precisely because Penguin has cultivated so many users that it is possible for WeChat to go online and become a communication software that is popular all over China—otherwise, if you look at Michat, which came out a year earlier than it, it is clearly a pioneer, but Because there is no huge user base, so Penguin is free to pick up cheap.

The second important condition is that WeChat is bound to "WeChat Pay", so that the WeChat account can be bound to a bank card, and shopping can be done directly online, which greatly increases its commercial value at once.

Well, you can think of it as adding the Zifubao function in addition to the voice call function.

And with this "WeChat payment account", then there is the rise of the concept of "WeChat Mall" - with such a huge user base, the WeChat Mall has great potential in the future, anyone who knows a little bit should be stunned! ! [

If the entire WeChat platform is worth 150 billion US dollars, then only 50 billion belongs to its communication function.

The value of the remaining US$100 billion lies in the concepts of "WeChat Pay" and "WeChat Mall".

Penguin has a unique and huge user resource, and it is a very loyal customer base. This is the magic weapon for them to succeed in doing things in the past, because such a huge user base will soon bring development to their projects.

However, Xiao Qi will not let Penguin imitate and rob his WeChat like other people.

The reason why Penguin dared to imitate Michat directly. It is because whtspp, the ancestor of WeChat, expressed the patent inaccurately and failed to apply for a patent, so it was taken advantage of by Penguin, Microsoft and lne.

In 2006, that is, last year, Xiao Qi took the idea of ​​intelligent communication software, including all functions of whtspp, messge, lne and WeChat, carefully described and formed, and registered 38 invention patents, large and small. All places in the world where registration is possible have been registered.

According to the normal review speed, around the end of this year and the beginning of next year, the results of the first round of review should come out.

Even if the audit result did not come down, Xiao Qi was one step ahead of everyone.

Of course, the acquisition of this patent is only to prevent others from robbing the super big cake of WeChat.

Whether we can really do a good job in the WeChat industry and do better than the penguins in the previous life depends on our own efforts.

Penguin has its own qq platform. Xiao Qi also has its own super platform, which is the application store.

The app store is one of Xiao Qi's strongholds. The many users it has cultivated are no less loyal to QQ than the Hua people.

A data from Nielsen data company shows that the average number of users who visit the app store once a day has reached 600 million, and the average number of people who visit the app store five times a week exceeds 1 billion, and the number of people who visit the app store three times a week is even more. It directly exceeded 2 billion, making it the most viewed online ppstore in the world.

As long as Xiao Qi puts the Wechat software on the homepage of the free platform for selfish purposes, within a month, the Wechat software can become popular all over the world.

When it comes to WeChat, preconceived impressions are very important. [

Even if there are definitely other companies. Bypassing patents to design new network communication software, but this time period will definitely not be less than half a year, and it must not violate WeChat's patents at all, otherwise Xiao Qi will not even allow it to enter the app store, and will Pull up a team of lawyers composed of dozens of lawyers and sue them to death.

But naturally, those powerful big companies will not do such stupid things by themselves, because this is a challenge to the rules they set, and the huge sequelae of breaking the rules are far beyond what they can bear .

As for those humble small companies, will the software they produce have a large market share?

You know, the more people use WeChat, the more people will join in.

You don't have many users in your user base, so how can you attract new users to join in?

Wouldn't it be better to go to the WeChat group that already has billions of users?

In the process of those big companies imitating and avoiding patents, half a year was enough for Xiao Qi to firmly grasp the user base of WeChat.

Juveniles have much larger appetites than penguins.

Penguin just wants to dominate the market in China, but Xiao Qi's WeChat wants to dominate the global market.

Not only communication tools, but also mobile payment! !

Ok.

The grand scene at that time was indeed refreshing and yearning.

But we still have to come back to reality first, and develop the WeChat software to perfection in a down-to-earth manner before we can take the second step of global expansion and development.

In the past three months, the Weibo company team has developed four major functions of WeChat: SMS, voice, uploading and sharing videos and photos, shaking to find nearby friends, all of which have been developed.

Not only the Chinese version, but also the English version, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and more than a dozen major language types, which are also very good.

This is also thanks to the teachers and students of Shuchuan University of Foreign Languages, who helped with various tasks.

For this reason, the Weibo company paid a total of 20 million sky-high remuneration, so that the school, teachers and students all received generous monetary rewards, and they were happy to thank the Weibo company for their generosity.

Or Chinese people are honest!

These things have to be in foreign countries, and you have lost 50 million US dollars in cost, so don't even think about it.

On the first day after Huangfucai came back, the technical department conducted a final test on each version of WeChat. Huangfucai felt that the effect was very good, in line with her original expectations, and then talked with Xiao Qi about the official launch. matter. (to be continued...)
