Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Six: Internet West Lake on the Sword
"TT was done by the original founding team of Penguin?"
In the office, Chen Yu called Li Nan and Zhang Jianming over?
"Yes."
Li Nan nodded.
"Why didn't you find out before?"
"The previous company registration legal person was not the original Penguin team, but another unfamiliar name. Recently, they changed the company legal person name and reactivated the Penguin company name."
"Well, I'll take a look first."
Chen Yu downloaded TT on the computer.
Chen Yu had heard of this TT before, and it was a newly established voice chat tool.
In fact, there are some molds to prevent YY.
However, at that time, the company considered that the domestic broadband speed was not particularly fast, and it did not involve much in the voice business. Therefore, Li Nan's side only launched the voice function, but it is not the main focus.
"Why so many people?"
Just went online and watched a few channels, and there were thousands of people, Chen Yu was a little surprised.
"TT acquired [ephone] some time ago."
"E phone call, hasn't it been checked?"
E-phone can be said to be a rookie who appeared in 2003.
They mainly do voice and video services.
In half a year, e-phone has reached 3 million registrations, and 300,000 are online at the same time.
In itself, normally speaking, it is impossible for e-communication to develop so fast all of a sudden.
But just e-communication is like hanging up.
However, Chen Yu did not dare to learn this.
The reason why E-Telecom has developed so fast is entirely in the name of ignoring the 18-ban business.
Finally, an inspection came up.
e call was also taken down
However, although eCall was taken down, potential users still exist.
TT spent a sum of money to acquire the database of eTalk, and the original users of eTalk were directed to TT Voice.
"Does TT also hit the 18th ban and wipe out the edge?"
Chen Yu looked at it and found that the entire chat room was relatively clear, and there was nothing to brush the edges.
"What they model is our business, which focuses on games + entertainment."
Li Nan said.
"Ma Huateng is a talent."
Chen Yu exclaimed.
He also thought that after Penguin failed, Ma Huateng and himself might never have an intersection.
Unexpectedly, Ma Huateng made a comeback in another way.
And, it looks menacing.
"They can't just do voice and video, what they want to do is instant messaging."
Although the broadband speed in 2003 was not as fast as later generations, it could already support voice and video services.
Of course, although supported, not all regions support it.
First- and second-tier cities and coastal areas have faster broadband speeds and more users.
Fourth- and fifth-tier cities have average broadband speeds and fewer users.
Overall, there are still not many users.
However, if not many, as time progresses, there will be more and more users.
"Focus on the layout of our voice and video business."
Chen Yu had a familiar feeling.
When they came out with YY, they also wanted to enter the instant messaging market by means of group chat.
The current Ma Huateng actually used the method he used before.
Hehe, do you still want to beat me with the tricks I used?
"Introduce a reward model and sign contracts with major chat rooms for a share."
Almost immediately, Chen Yu thought of a countermeasure.
"Also, launch a new YY audio and video version."
YY used to do group chats before, but after defeating Penguin, YY officially focused on instant messaging.
Therefore, in the audio and video field, YY did not go deep.
This is what Chen Yu meant.
It's not that Huanyu Technology has no in-depth strength, but that instant messaging and voice group chat will conflict.
Voice group chat is just an entertainment product, he is not the main one.
Therefore, although Ma Huateng made a comeback with the help of e-talk, Chen Yu was not particularly anxious.
Let's not talk about whether Ma Huateng can eat the voice and video market.
Even if he can eat it, at most he is only the YY of his previous life.
Of course, although Chen Yu was not particularly anxious, Chen Yu also didn't want to see Ma Huateng threatening him in any way.
"Alibaba's Taobao, Brother Jian, what do you think?"
After dealing with YY, Chen Yu turned to Taobao again.
Huanyu Technology actually had an e-commerce business before, but it had been busy doing games and instant messaging before, and the e-commerce business was just hanging there without focusing on development. But now, it's time for e-commerce to enter.
"Alibaba recently got a $50 million financing and launched a new c2c business Taobao. Relying on their previous b2b business, and Taobao also launched a completely free model, many individual merchants ran away all of a sudden Taobao, the transaction volume is rising rapidly.”
"Free... It is estimated that the cost will be recovered elsewhere in the future."
Taobao is of course free.
You can shop for free, you can sell things for free.
However, this is only to attract sellers.
When the Taobao platform becomes bigger and stronger, it will start to grow wool.
"We think so too, but free is a good model. Mr. Chen, I think we should make efforts in the e-commerce market."
"It really should."
Chen Yu nodded.
Although Taobao was established first, it also launched the c2c business first.
But that's okay.
It will take a long time for e-commerce to mature from its inception.
"Brother Jian, immediately set up an e-commerce department and launch a new c2c business platform. Like Taobao, we also launch a free model. In addition, we will set up an e-commerce marketing team to allow more sellers to join our platform."
E-commerce in 2003 was still in its infancy.
For the initial e-commerce, the first step is to attract more sellers.
Only with more and more sellers can there be variety in e-commerce products.
Furthermore, with the emergence of diversified products, ordinary users are only interested in online shopping experience.
...
After instructing Zhang Jianming and Li Nan, Chen Yu did not stop, and called Wang Chang over again.
"Wang Chang, is there a suitable candidate for the portal site?"
YY is in charge of Li Nan. However, Li Nan has some research on instant messaging, but is a layman for the operation of portal websites. When Ma Huateng and Mr. Ma got together to launch a new business, Chen Yu realized the cruelty of the market.
If he is not careful, his competitors may walk ahead of him.
Just like the voice and video business and the e-commerce business.
Under the influence of Chen Yu's butterfly, 2003 and the previous life of 2003 have slowly begun to change.
Although the portal business is not in a hurry, he doesn't want to wait any longer. He must make his portal as big as possible.
"Xinlang editor-in-chief Chen Tong, he is very experienced in content construction."
"Can you dig?"
"I'll give it a try."
"Don't go there, let the headhunter communicate with him quietly. They are more professional than us when it comes to digging people."
Although the YY portal has just been launched recently, it has not made any big moves.
At the same time, in terms of professionalism and IP flow, it is temporarily unable to compare with Xinlang.
Even, it can not be compared with Netease Sohu.
But after all, there is YY, an artifact of instant messaging, any portal website will regard Huanyu Technology as a competitor.
If Wang Chang goes in person, the probability of success is not high.
"Mr. Chen, Jack Ma, chairman of Alibaba, invites you to participate in the Internet West Lake discussion."
After reviewing the arrangement, assistant Xia Zhu handed the fax invitation letter just received to Chen Yu.
"Oh, who is participating?"
"In addition to you, Ma Yun also invited Ma Huateng, Xinlang Chairman Cao Guowei, NetEase President Ding Lei, Sohu founder Zhang Chaoyang... In addition, he also invited Microsoft's Bill. By the way, and Mr. Jin Yong ."
"Why does it seem like they're all here to deal with me."
Chen Yu smiled: "Reply to Jack Ma, thank you for the invitation, I will definitely participate."
