Chapter 1490 Solving Worries

While promoting Li Dong's live broadcast in Yuanfang, it is actually promoting WeChat in a disguised form.

WeChat and Li Dong's live broadcast, the two are linked together, and even WeChat is the main body, and then promoted with the help of Li Dong's fame and attention.

Borrowing the reputation of the big boss to promote the product, and the boss has no objection, so the distance side naturally spares no effort to promote it.

Although the new version has not been updated yet, the number of WeChat users still experienced explosive growth on the 26th and 27th.

This is actually not surprising. Li Dong personally launched a live broadcast promotion for a product, which was originally the biggest gimmick.

Yuanfang has launched many products in the past few years, even including such an important Internet payment product as Wanka, but Li Dong has not personally participated in any large-scale publicity activities.

Only WeChat, which doesn't seem too eye-catching, Li Dong has contributed so much, it has also aroused the curiosity of many people.

By the evening of the 27th, the domestic registered users of WeChat had reached 4.8 million!

In just over a day, when Yuanfang announced the news, there were only 3.5 million WeChat users in China, and it approached the 5 million mark a day later!

When 3G was just emerging, it was almost unbelievable that more than one million users increased a day.

Teng Xun has used almost all of its promotion resources to promote Weichat. However, after a few days of promotion, so far, the number of users is only close to 2 million.

The current market is so big, and WeChat and Weichat are products with similar positioning. Under normal circumstances, users will only choose one to download.

It is not like the PC side, which can download multiple software at the same time with the computer. There are not a few users on the PC side who use PP and QQ at the same time. This is why Li Dong said that Teng Xun and distant user resources overlap.

4.8 million is the number of domestic users of WeChat.

In overseas markets, WeChat has also been known to many people through the promotion before the live broadcast, especially some overseas Chinese.

Since Li Dong became the richest man in the world, it was the first time that a Chinese climbed to the top of the world's richest man. Many overseas Chinese are proud of Li Dong.

Knowing that Li Dong's Yuanfang has launched a new product, many overseas Chinese organizations even held a special meeting to help Li Dong with publicity.

In Europe and the United States, including Japan and South Korea in Asia, the 3G system has matured, and smart phones have not just emerged in China, but began to flourish before 2007.

In 2007, the global smartphone shipments were around 110 million units.

In 2008, the global smartphone shipments reached 170 million units.

In the past two years alone, the shipment of smartphones has reached nearly 300 million. It can be seen that the overseas market is not small. China did not start to rise until the beginning of 2009. In fact, it is much later than other developed countries.

To say that it has just emerged does not mean that there were no smart phones before. In the 2G era, there were actually many smart phones. The market share is actually not too low. More than 15%.

However, compared with the latest generation of smart phones in the 2G era, the gap is quite obvious.

For software such as WeChat and Wanka, the older generation of smartphones currently does not support software operation, so users of these old smartphones are generally not counted in the distance.

Of course, based on China's population and base, although the development is slower than other countries, since 2009, China's smartphone market has exploded.

However, the outbreak, also because the time is too short, it is impossible to surpass the overseas market.

The scale of the overseas market is much larger than that in China, and there are many overseas Chinese, including some foreigners, who are actually more interested in the products promoted by this commercial giant in the East.

When Huaxia users reached 4.8 million, the number of overseas users also reached 2 million.

However, when these people really downloaded WeChat, many people felt that there was still some psychological gap.

Maybe it was because I had too high expectations for Li Dong,

Many people think that WeChat must be amazing, it is a new IM system that breaks through the limitations of the original IM software.

But when they really used it, they realized that it was not too different from traditional IM software.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that there is no difference at all, such as the social system based on the mobile phone address book, simple and clear user experience, real friend network, nearby people search...

In these respects, WeChat is still doing well.

However, some people disagree.

The person in charge of Canadian RIM Corporation, which is the communications giant that owns the BlackBerry brand, revealed on some occasions that WeChat actually has some functions similar to the social platform they are developing.

Of course, when saying this, RIM also felt a little helpless.

In the previous life, the mobile IM software based on the mobile phone address book system, whether it was WeChat or Michat, actually referred to the popular foreign KIK software.

The founder of KIK, whose creative source is the service of BlackBerry, has worked in BBM for two years.

To sum up, BBM is actually the creative source of this industry.

In the previous life, BlackBerry took KIK to court.

But if Blackberry can sue KIK, can the other party sue Li Dong?

Not to mention the question of whether you dare or not, the key point is that the BBM platform on the BlackBerry side has not yet been launched, and WeChat has been officially in operation for almost a month.

Moreover, the gap between the two parties is quite obvious. WeChat is more open than BBM, with more functions and a simpler user experience.

Tell Yuanfang at this time, don't turn around and be sued by Li Dong in court, that would be embarrassing.

Titan Lee in the East likes to litigate and find fault. Who doesn't know this?

The lawsuit between the other party and Forbes is not over yet. I heard that Titan Lee is planning to file another lawsuit with Forbes because of the name issue. Now some foreign media giants are starting to sympathize with Forbes. How can anyone find this guy with nothing to do? trouble.

But not making trouble for Li Dong doesn't mean everyone is willing to watch him grow.

...

Just when WeChat's domestic users were about to exceed 5 million, a sudden gust of wind came out.

The three major domestic communication operators may impose some restrictions on WeChat and WeChat!

WeChat and Weichat, the IM software based on mobile phone address books, have seriously threatened their interests!

SMS and MMS are currently one of the main sources of income for several major operators.

In 2008, the revenue of mobile companies exceeded 400 billion, of which, SMS revenue was 50.4 billion, and MMS revenue was 3 billion. Together, the revenue in this area was as high as 53.4 billion!

The previous mobile phone QQ and PP, because they were built on the basis of a pan-social circle, and both were giants, had little impact on the SMS business. Although several major operators wanted to restrict each other, in the end it was because several parties could not reach an agreement. I chose to compromise.

But now, WeChat and Weichat, the IM software based on the mobile phone address book, have definitely touched their interests!

A more convenient dialogue mode, a simpler communication window, and based on acquaintances, the user experience is also stronger than the SMS mode.

Anyone with a little vision can see that with the increase in the number of users, WeChat and WeChat will definitely have a major impact on the SMS services of several major operators!

This is not the same concept as mobile QQ and PP.

The social systems of the two sides are different, and the influence is also completely different!

...

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet about this.

Some people think it's all nonsense, but in fact, some rumors are really not groundless.

compound.

It was getting dark outside, but Li Dong was standing in the courtyard talking to Wang Jianzhou.

"Mr. Wang, don't you think that you, like outsiders, think that we have really touched the interests of the operators?

To put it bluntly, this is the general trend!

With the completion of the laying of the 3G network, the number of users has increased, and the development of smart phones has become faster and faster, and the mobile Internet has become a trend...

If we don't do it, someone else will!

Yes, if you make some restrictions this time, we may indeed be stillborn, but this time you have finished tossing us, what about next time?

What about next time?

Now that this trend has already appeared, it is impossible that we will not do it because your operators are not happy.

And if you really want to do this, it doesn't matter that I, Li Dong, have a good temper.

With Ma Huateng's temperament, he can't stop fighting with you.

Okay, I won’t talk about these digressions, let me add one more thing, do you think WeChat has really touched your interests?

In the short term, your SMS income may be affected, but in fact, how much is your SMS income?

50 billion is all!

And those who should send text messages will still send text messages. By the end of the year, your text message revenue will be limited. I will count it as 5 billion, which should be almost the same.

But once WeChat has more than 10 million users, the traffic fee alone will be enough to recover your losses.

Once the number of users exceeds 30 million, your income will be more than that of text messages, and the benefits cannot be seen only in front of you.

In the long run, WeChat will not be your enemy, but your mutual beneficial friend.

In addition, what is the current utilization rate of your 3G network?

Below 10%! "

Li Dong sighed and said: "People abroad have started to promote 4G networks. We have invested hundreds of billions, but the result is that we can't use them. Now the utilization rate of 3G is only below 10%. These hundreds of billions are almost useless.

What should I do if I want to recover the cost quickly?

Of course, it is to increase the number of users and let everyone transition from 2G to 3G. Let alone a utilization rate of 100%, it must be more than 50%.

But why can 3G attract users?

Is it because 3G sounds better?

You have nothing to interest users, they won't use 3G networks.

Can wechat?

I think it is possible!

Next, our scan code payment and our red envelope function will be reflected in the new version of WeChat.

Think about it yourself, what an interesting piece of software, if you use it, can I not use it?

Your children are using it, can you still not use it?

What to do if you don’t have a smart phone, buy it, how can you sell 30 million mobile phones customized by OPPO? It’s not because of this, it’s 30 million mobile 3G users!

How does traffic income come from? If you use or don’t use these software, where will the traffic revenue come from?

How to improve the utilization rate of 3G network depends on these!

Mr. Wang, tell yourself, is this a business grab?

50 billion SMS revenue, a few billion less, will it really make your life difficult?

The increase in traffic revenue may exceed 20 billion, 30 billion, or even 50 billion!

You only know how to calculate SMS revenue, why don't you think about anything else?

Mr. Wang, everyone is just eating for nothing. You can’t drink all the soup and water. Yuanfang sincerely wants to make money with everyone. We are different from Teng Xun.

On Teng Xun's side, all they do is steal your jobs. Can I, Li Dong, do this kind of thing?

They only know how to engage in instant messaging, they just grab business, and they don't think about you.

What about us?

Our Vancard offline code scanning business, the red envelope function, including the upcoming Yuanfang mobile map and Yuanfang Mall mobile client, which are not things that consume data.

Just our users and business alone, the performance growth brought to you every year will definitely exceed your losses!

Mr. Wang is not an outsider who doesn't understand anything, why bother pretending to be confused..."

Li Dong chattered for a while, but Wang Jianzhou on the opposite side didn't say anything for a while!

What the hell, I just said a word, co-author you have already prepared, and the reasons have been given to you, what else should I say?

When Li Dong had finished speaking, Wang Jianzhou suddenly interrupted: "You didn't say that to me alone, did you?"

Li Dong laughed and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just said it three or four times, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also asked me, but this is a matter of mutual benefit, so there is no need to make it like this.

The rumors on the Internet, Mr. Wang should understand that some people want to take advantage of you and deliberately target people from afar.

These days, they can't play business, so they just play these tricks.

Mr. Wang, you said, we are really going to have a big fight, who will win in the end?

I doubt it, the most likely thing is that Teng Xun did it!

100% thing!

They are not afraid, they have mobile QQ, the market share is much higher than our PP, WeChat is really going to die, mobile QQ will definitely rise on the mobile side, do you believe it or not?

At that time, since the relationship link of the mobile phone address book has come out, do you think their QQ will give up this newly established relationship link?

In the end, it was still cheaper for Teng Xun.

And you and my family are the losers.

As far as Ma Huateng's small thoughts are concerned, I can see it at a glance.

Mr. Wang, you guys can't be fooled by this..."

Wang Jianzhou didn't bother to pick up the words. This guy couldn't say anything away from Teng Xun now. When people pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, he just named him by name. He wished to move a few companies and start attacking Teng Xun now.

But I have to admit that some of Li Dong's words are not without purpose.

If it is really not good for the major operators, they have already started, and they will not delay until now.

After a few words, Wang Jianzhou suddenly said: "In this promotion, it was mentioned that WeChat is applicable to any group of people, including illiterate user groups.

And in the previous Weibo financing, your president Liu said that we cooperated with some voice software vendors to do technical research and development, and applied them to these social software.

Mr. Li, tell me the truth, WeChat, has there been a breakthrough in this area? "

Wang Jianzhou is not a fool to have mixed up in the business world to this extent.

Whether Ma Huateng thought of it or not is unknown, but after Wang Jianzhou saw the propaganda in the distance, this was the first thing he thought of!

Voice calls!

How do illiterate users use WeChat?

No matter how concise and clear WeChat is, not everyone can use it. How dare Yuanfang say that?

And this is not the first time. When Weibo raised funds, Liu Hong said that he and Xunfei studied the actual application cases in this area.

After such a long time now, is it unusual for Yuanfang to develop such a function?

Wang Jianzhou had to think about this!

It's fine to steal the text message business. If Li Dong really does this, he will even steal the voice call revenue.

As a result, several major application providers really can't sit still!

But Li Dong on the other side of the phone was slightly startled, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you still don't understand the current market?

The conversion of voice data consumes a lot of traffic.

In a word, there is no difference between the traffic consumed and the cost of calling. Even if there is, what is the impact?

Should call or have to call..."

When he said this, Wang Jianzhou understood, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, there are some things I won't say, but you should understand.

Of course, with the development of technology, some things are inevitable.

We can accept some old things being eliminated.

The development and growth of an enterprise does not mean that it can grow bigger by suppressing someone. Development and innovation are what we have to do.

But I have something to say, and I will explain it to Mr. Li thoroughly.

The distance is going too fast, we can't keep up with the rhythm.

We just squeezed the SMS market, and then started to squeeze the voice call market. We didn't do any preparations at all, and there was a sudden earth-shaking change. This change came too abruptly.

I can accept it, but others can't accept it for a while.

Slow and orderly development, giving us a little time to adapt, maybe it will be better, Mr. Li thinks? "

What Wang Jianzhou said is the truth, take your time, the major operators are not really intolerable, QQ has existed for so many years, if it is really intolerable, countless disputes have already broken out.

But now, the distance is too fast.

Before everyone has done any preparations, Li Dong is going to rob them of their main source of business. This will make many people at a loss and create a huge psychological gap.

In terms of 3G and traffic, although they have seen growth at present, they are not enough to replace voice and text messages for the time being.

Li Dong laughed lightly when he heard the words: "President Wang filtered it, and I said that the impact is not great, you feel that empty words have no basis, so don't worry.

Well, let's stop talking about it.

Let's gamble again, if your voice call revenue this year is lower than last year, how much will I make up for it!

But if there is no reduction by the end of the year, then our cooperation can continue to deepen, including mobile phone customization business, recharge business, including the launch of remote customized traffic card business...

In this way, we are all beneficial, what does Mr. Wang think? "

When it comes to gambling, Wang Jianzhou scratches his head, he has never seen such an entrepreneur.

Take a gamble at every turn!

Mobile voice income is hundreds of billions, and your entire net worth, Li Dong, is not enough for their annual revenue. Where do you have the confidence to say this!

However, it can be seen from this that Li Dong still has some confidence, otherwise Li Dong would not do such a disadvantageous thing with his temperament.

Wang Jianzhou is naturally not interested in gambling.

As a central enterprise, it is enough to sign a contract with Li Dong once, but again, what do you think of them?

However, Li Dong's words did make him feel a little relieved, and finally said: "Let's see."

At present, it is all speculation, and it does not actually affect the interests of operators.

Wait until the new version of WeChat is launched, and then we will see the situation.

If the income drops so badly, even Li Dong's rhetoric will not give up.

But if the impact is not great, then there is no need to fight endlessly with Yuan Fang for this.

Li Dong naturally understood the meaning of Wang Jianzhou's words.

After hanging up the phone, Li Dong smiled and said to Shen Qian who called him to eat: "It's done, the mobile side will be fine in a short time, and the other two are similar.

China Mobile is the leader in the industry, and they don't intervene. I'm not too vague about the other two.

If it weren't for the large-scale cooperation agreement negotiated with them before, it might not be so easy this time. "

30 million mobile phone customization business, 36 billion VAM agreement...

These are the main reasons why China Mobile doesn't want to go to war.

In the case that Li Dong did not actually erode a large amount of their market, anyone should consider clearly whether it is worth it or not.

Li Dong chose to cooperate with China Mobile, rather than China Unicom and China Telecom, because China Mobile has the strongest strength.

Otherwise, according to the smoothness of the 3G network, it would be more appropriate for him to choose China Unicom.

It's hard to say whether the second and third children are willing to contribute after the boss in the industry is settled.

Even the mobile is sitting on the sidelines. Based on Li Dong's understanding of them, there will be no big moves in the future, and the big deal is just a little trick.

Seeing his relaxed face, Shen Qian couldn't help asking: "You made up your mind a long time ago to drag them into your pirate ship, right?"

Li Dong said speechlessly: "What is a thief boat? It's called taking the bait by the volunteers. Besides, if you cooperate with me, you won't lose anything to them. Why don't you cooperate?

If I don't engage in WeChat, others will.

I just don't want to turn heads with them, take a detour, let everyone have a step down, this is a good thing for each other, don't you think I am more mature now? "

Shen Qian actually agrees in her heart that Li Dong is indeed much more mature than before.

In the past, he would have been hard-pressed, so he didn't care whether they were happy to move or not.

If this is the case, in the later stage, the two sides will inevitably fight openly and secretly. In the end, maybe the matter will become a big mess, and Li Dong's fiery temper is very likely.

But now, before Li Dong promoted WeChat, he pulled China Mobile to his side. Obviously, it was not just for the promotion of 3G before. Today's scene, he probably expected it.

If the two parties hadn't cooperated before, Wang Jianzhou would never have called to communicate with him calmly.

Fighting back and forth, plus there is still an opponent, Li Dong may suffer a bit.

But now, in a matter of a few words, both parties have chosen to reduce the big thing to the small because of the previously established cooperative relationship. It can be seen that Li Dong's layout is still effective.

I thought so, but seeing his embarrassing look, Shen Qian rolled her eyes and left, so she didn't give this guy a good face, and she could go to heaven with a few compliments!
