Chapter 1238: Only One Battle

April 22nd.

On the 20th, there were only 1.6 million WeChat users. On the 22nd, in two days, the number of registered WeChat users reached 2 million!

At this time, although Teng Xun hadn't come up with a better plan, Ma Huateng couldn't sit still.

Li Dong wants to wait until May to start the war, but it doesn't mean that Ma Huateng must act according to his wishes!

...

Shenzhen.

Fiyta Building.

Ma Huateng's face was extremely serious, and he said with a heavy face: "Everyone, Li Dong's purpose is already obvious!

The goal in the distance is not Ali, not Su Lin, not Bailian, not any company, but Teng Xun! "

"His target has always been Teng Xun!

In the early stage, I was paralyzed and negligent. This is an unforgivable mistake!

Here, I apologize to everyone, it is my underestimation of the enemy, my negligence, which made me make a wrong judgment!

Li Dong told me a long time ago that he wants to defeat me on the mobile terminal, and defeat me in the era of mobile Internet...

I didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, but I paid attention to it later, but I was indecisive and didn't make a decision at the first time. All of this should not be done!

Here, I want to say, I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry for all investors and our users.

It’s not the first day that Li Dong coveted Teng Xun, from when he cut off our “Dungeon Warrior”, to the acquisition of SmileGate, and the other side followed Teng Xun’s lead, making game halls, PP spaces, and PP mailboxes…

This series of actions all showed that he was planning a second Teng Xun!

His ambition to replace Teng Xun with Yuanfang technology didn't come from a sudden moment!

In the early stage, because I underestimated the enemy, I gave Yuanfang a chance to grow bigger.

In the later stage, it was because I was afraid, I didn't want to hurt both sides, and I didn't restrain the development space in the distance!

Now, our crisis is coming!

Since January 2009, Yuanfang has been ready for a decisive battle with us.

Their interactive entertainment company is constantly negotiating with the game manufacturers we represent, discussing acquisitions, negotiating the transfer of agency rights, and even some game manufacturers broke the contract and chose to cooperate with distant places!

Their Weibo and portal websites are also constantly squeezing our portal market share.

In terms of other industries, Yuanfang has always spared no expense, whatever we do, they will do..."

Ma Huateng said excitedly: "I said this, now it is suspected of being an afterthought, and many people will say, since they have known this for a long time, why didn't they make preparations for a bloody battle earlier!

Some partners even proposed to suppress the living space in the distance.

But why didn't Teng Xun act?

I admit that I am a little jealous, afraid of Li Dong, afraid of Yuanfang, before I see the general situation clearly, I am worried that a war with Yuanfang will anger Li Dong, and make him attack Teng Xun with all his strength at all costs!

Teng Xun, although we are not weak in the Internet industry, we are weak compared to Yuanfang!

Our annual revenue is less than 7 billion RMB, and our profit is less than 3 billion RMB!

I am afraid, I am afraid, Li Dong has brought me a lot of pressure, in the industry, everyone thinks he is crazy!

Once we are the first to launch an attack, he is likely to invest tens of billions, or even more, to attack us, even if all the money is lost, he will not hesitate.

So I dare not, can't, and I don't want to be an opponent with him.

However, my fear and forbearance did not bring me Li Dong's kindness.

Now, Li Dong wants to sever our foundation and completely crush us!

Everyone, at this moment, I can't bear it anymore, and I can't be afraid anymore, I can only put all my eggs in one basket and fight with my back! "

Ma Huateng admitted that he was afraid of Li Dong, feared Li Dong, not only underestimated the enemy in the early stage, but also because everyone in the industry knew that Li Dong was very difficult to provoke, once provoked, he would bite like a mad dog, endlessly!

Although everyone doesn't say these things, how many people in the Huaxia business world are not afraid of Li Dong?

He Ma Huateng,

It is a fact to be afraid of Li Dong!

Even most of Teng Xun's people are afraid of Li Dong!

Ma Huateng exposed himself, just like Ma Yun back then, he did not hesitate to step on himself first, let everyone let go of all worries, and prepare for this big battle!

After talking about himself, Ma Huateng said excitedly: "Since the launch of Yuanfang's WeChat, it means that Yuanfang's final layout has been completed!

You may be wondering, how can a software with only 2 million users be the final layout and the final trump card of Yuanfang?

Then let me tell you, we have been neglecting one thing, or not negligence, but from beginning to end, you including me have not paid attention to it!

The international version of WeChat, WeChat, was launched globally on April 14th, the day before we launched Weichat!

Didn't do too much publicity, just like WeChat, quietly.

However, in 8 days, they also accumulated millions of users overseas!

Such a speed of development made me fully realize that I am in big trouble!

In about 20 days, more than 3 million users, no promotion, no publicity, this is not Li Dong's style, nor is it an achievement that a software designed by no one can achieve.

The positioning of WeChat is a complete mobile IM software, and I am sure that the current WeChat is not the final version of Yuanfang, nor is it the final WeChat model.

Li Dong is paralyzing us!

It's a pity that although we have been paying attention, we are still paralyzed, and we still haven't paid the greatest attention.

If I’m not mistaken, in May, the virtual currency fund was launched, attracting attention from all walks of life, Wanjia online, and when everyone is waiting for the battle with Ali in the distance, Li Dong will choose to fight against us!

The reduction of traffic charges he promoted in the early stage, and the rapid expansion of 3G user groups, including the 30 million customized mobile phones reached by them in cooperation with OPPO and China Mobile, are all the killer moves left by Teng Xun!

Everyone, the most dangerous moment has come!

I know that some of you will be afraid, fearful, and even dare not face the enemy directly in the distance.

Why?

Because he is a legend, a living legend, the richest man in the world, the number one person in the Chinese business world, a business tycoon...

But being afraid, does it mean that we have to make way for his success and glory?

Are we willing to be the stepping stones on his legendary road? 11 years of ups and downs, we have come together, 11 years of perseverance, 11 years of perseverance, 11 years of youth and years, we have stayed in Teng fast!

Whether you are afraid or afraid, tell me, are you willing to fail like this?

Are you willing to be ashamed and timid before fighting?

Even if we are timid, we have to face it with our heads held high. Li Dong is a legend, and so are we!

He is just picking up people's teeth and walking the way we have walked. There is nothing to worry about!

Teng Xun cannot be defeated by money alone. No matter how rich he is, no talent, no technology, no accumulation of users, he still cannot surpass Teng Xun!

Is our 11 years of accumulation not as good as Yuanfang Technology, which he cobbled together in three years?

Gentlemen, at this moment, there is only one battle, and there must be one!

I know very clearly that this battle is about our life and death, gentlemen, we have no way out! "

Everyone in the audience looked heavy, excited, and worried, but no one refuted.

Ma Huateng did not lie. Someone suggested to him a long time ago that he should first suppress the living space in the distance.

But a large number of executives, including several major shareholders of Teng Xun, disagreed with this proposal, not just Xiao Ma.

Start a war with Li Dong?

Everyone is not very willing!

Moreover, Teng Xun was established 8 years earlier than Yuanfang Technology, and Yuanfang Technology really had a system in 2006.

Many people don't think that Yuanfang can overtake Teng Xun so quickly.

In the later period, in fact, Yuanfang is also concealing its own user data. PP users include some related revenues.

This also caused the outside world to be somewhat negligent about the strength of the distant PP.

Ma Huateng has a rough idea, but he himself is actually afraid. The last time Guomei acquired the case, he actually moved his mind.

I want to give Yuanfang a fatal blow when Yuanfang competes with Guomei.

But at that time, he contacted some companies, but no one responded. The Internet industry, including Ma Yun, rejected his proposal.

Because at that time, Yuanfang had not yet decided to fully enter the C2C field, and the competition with Ali mainly lay in the payment system, and at that time, Ali also needed Yuanfang to promote it together.

So, in the end, it became Ma Huateng to make peace, instead of taking this opportunity to attack the distance.

In the later period, Li Dong's paralysis really made Ma Huateng hesitate.

Originally, he planned to go back and start a war with Yuanfang after the Yuanfang Alliance Conference was completed.

As a result, Li Dong threw out the matter of the virtual currency fund, and talked with him about the acquisition of Paipai.com and entering the C2C field, which made him even more hesitant.

However, it was these few hesitations that gave Li Dong time.

His WeChat has begun to encroach on the mobile terminal market, and his PP-related industries have also made frequent small moves recently.

Unknowingly, apart from QQ, Teng Xun seemed to have nothing to offer.

At this moment, Ma Huateng is completely awake!

If he didn't fight back or make any moves, Teng Xun might be wiped out in the distance without a sound!

Seeing that he spoke solemnly and seemed to have made up his mind, Xu Chenye, one of Teng Xun's five tiger generals, said seriously: "Pony, we are aware of the threat to us from afar!

I just want to make sure of one thing, you really want to choose this time to break with Yuan Fang?

Also, have you talked with MIH and ABSABank?

Finally, after the breakup, from which aspects do we start to fight back? Are we alone or with other companies to fight back together? How do these plans work?

Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. If we don't make a perfect plan, with our current strength, the odds of winning against Yuanfang may not be too great.

Those of us agree, and our shareholders and shareholders will not agree.

In their eyes, Li Dong is a god!

None of the companies that opposed Li Dong ended up well.

Especially on the 12th, when Li Dong ascended to the top position of the world's richest man, he was completely mythical and put on the altar..."

Ma Huateng said quietly: "I know this. The position of the world's richest man may not have belonged to him in the first place. If I guess correctly, the list released by Forbes last time has Li Dong's personal wishes in it!"

Someone was taken aback for a moment, and then they all woke up suddenly.

Li Dong, just want to push himself to the altar!

Originally, although he has been called a legend and a myth, it is only limited to the East, or even China.

However, when he sits on the throne of the world's richest man, his myth is no longer an oriental myth, but a global myth!

Some of Teng Xun's investors, especially the two major shareholders MIH and ABSABank are foreign capital institutions.

Even if they knew Li Dong before, because Li Dong has been tossing around in China and Weibo is not online in Africa, the two headquarters may not really have a deep understanding of Li Dong.

This time, they don't need to take the initiative to understand.

Not everyone can be the richest man in the world.

At this critical moment, any slight hesitation of the two families may cause a fatal blow to Teng Xun.

Of course, Teng Xun is different from Ali. At present, Teng Xun’s voting rights are almost all in the hands of Ma Huateng’s team, and neither of them has the right to intervene in the company’s operation and strategic layout.

But major shareholders, if they say that they won't affect the company at all, that's just a joke.

If the two companies feel that there is a risk and sell a large amount of Teng Xun's stock and cash out, then Teng Xun will be finished without Li Dong's attack.

Even if you want to cash out, you don’t want to sell it, but now that Teng Xun has been listed for so many years, the sales restriction period has passed. If you really want to cash out, unless the Ma Huateng team spends a lot of money to buy it back, otherwise, the other party will run away. Ma Huateng There is no way.

Regarding Xu Chenye's question, Ma Huateng slowly said: "After all, MIH and ABSABank have cooperated with us for many years, and I have communicated with both parties before.

MIH will fully support us, after all, we are really going to be defeated by the far side, and they will also suffer heavy losses.

As for ABSA Bank..."

Speaking of this, Ma Huateng paused for a moment, and the others understood.

The two major shareholders of Teng Xun actually hold shares in Teng Xun, but they are not of the same nature.

Speaking of Teng Xun's major shareholders, it is actually a bit complicated.

MIH is a subsidiary of Naspers (South African newspaper), and there are many shareholders of Naspers, one of which holds more shares is PIC, and PIC also has its own shareholders, one of which is Standard Bank of South Africa.

In 2008, ICBC acquired a 20% stake in Standard Bank. Of course, this does not mean that ICBC has become a major shareholder of Teng Xun. In fact, Teng Xun and ICBC do not have much ownership relationship.

There are still many layers between the two parties, at most they are distant relatives.

Of course, these are irrelevant. The key point is that MIH chose to hold shares in Teng Xun, and that is because it is really optimistic, so it chooses to invest.

The other shareholder, ABSABank, held Teng Xun's equity in the hands of MIH's parent company, Naspers. Yes, the other party never let go.

Because MIH believes in Teng Xun and its own vision, even if it encounters a crisis, it will not give up in a short time.

However, ABSA Bank held shares in Teng Xun not because they invested in Teng Xun, but after taking over the shares of Teng Xun, they found it profitable and did not let go.

Once there is no interest, it is almost inevitable to give up.

The communication between Ma Huateng and ABSA Bank was not so smooth, and the other party was not very in favor of a decisive battle with the industry owned by the world's richest man.

Saying these words now is a bit demoralizing. Ma Huateng simply mentioned something, and then said in a deep voice: "No matter what their opinions are, don't forget, Teng Xun is still our Teng Xun!"

Compared with Ma Yun, Ma Huateng is much more at ease.

From the very beginning, other shareholders only have the right to pay dividends, and almost all the real voting rights are in the hands of their team, so regardless of their opinions, it doesn't matter whether Ma Huateng listens or not.

What's more, ABSABank does not hold many shares, and it is enough to get MIH done!

Seeing what he said, everyone did not refute.

Ma Huateng didn't discuss this with them today, since he had set the tone, that's the only way Teng Xun could do it!

These founders, as long as they are still in power now, no one is in power, and they can say what they want, and it is useless for others to object!

Even Ma Yun, let alone Ma Huateng, was able to forcefully pass a resolution despite Yahoo's troubles.

After setting the tone of the counterattack, everyone started a long discussion.

One person counts short, and Ma Huateng also needs to discuss with them how to counterattack the distance.
