Chapter 644: Surprise

It is true that Ding Luochuan is good at exploiting loopholes in the law, but this time he did not cause trouble to Fan Wubing, but actually did a big thing, which seemed like nothing to him, but to Fan Wubing It is a particularly important event in the eyes of the disease.

At the end of last year, to be precise, it was November 12, 1998, the second day of Singles’ Day. Ma Huateng and his college classmate Zhang Zhidong officially registered and established Shenzhen Tencent Computer Systems Co., Ltd. The company's main business is to expand wireless network paging systems.

When Tencent was established, its main business was to establish an online paging system for paging stations. This kind of software development project for enterprises or units can be said to be the best choice for almost all small and medium-sized network service companies. In 1997, Ma Huateng came into contact with Q and became its user. He personally felt the charm of Q and also saw its limitations.

Although Q is widely circulated among foreign users, it has an English interface and is quite difficult to use. This makes Q although it is widely used in China, but it is not particularly popular and is mostly limited to netizens. In the hands of experts.

Ma Huateng and his partners initially thought of developing a Chinese Q software and then selling it to powerful companies. Tencent did not think at the time that operating Chinese Q would require a huge investment but would not make any money. At that time, it was because a large company intended to invest a large amount of money in the field of Chinese Q. Tencent also wrote a project construction document and had begun to develop Q. When it came time to bid, Tencent did not win the bid. As a result, Tencent decided to do it on its own. You know At that time, the price Tencent bid for Q was only more than 300,000 yuan. Later, when Tencent began to develop rapidly, Ma Huateng said very appropriately that we need our own Chinese network software and we need our own bsp; but in fact, Tencent's launch of Q was purely an accident. If the big company had not If we plan to invest money in the field of Chinese Q, there will be no Q. If Tencent wins the bid, there will be no Q for Tencent. Tencent's success is partly luck and partly strength.

Ding Luochuan didn't know what he bumped into. As luck would have it, Tencent found them after taking out the beta version of Q, hoping to sell the software to him, or if it could be promoted to Fan Investment Group, or integrated into Huafeng.com, which has a very good momentum of development, conducts share sales.

After Fan Wubing and Shen Ying arrived at the Shenzhen branch, after listening to Ding Luochuan's introduction, Fan Wubing didn't have any idea. He just felt that this thing sounded familiar, so he asked Ding Luochuan to get the detailed information for him to review.

But when Fan Wubing saw the little penguin icon, he immediately stood up with a groan, his eyes a little dull.

"Mr. Fan, are you okay?" Ding Luochuan was startled and thought to himself. He hasn't seen Mr. Fan for many days. Who knew he would become hysterical as soon as he came over? If something happened, he wouldn't be able to explain it to himself. How should I tell Commissioner Fan Heng?

"How can everything be okay?! It's quite something!" Fan Wubing calmed down and said,

Then he said, "Bring me something to drink. I want to take this seriously."

After reading the detailed information, Fan Wubing had an idea in his mind. Tencent's prototype of QQ software had not yet been launched on the Internet, so everyone had no idea. At this time, the idea was to simply It can be sold at once.

Anyway, there are not many people in Tencent at this time, just a few big cats and kittens. Q itself is just a small software. Its basic functions are imitated from Q. Maybe there are some copyright issues in it. It is good to be able to cash out as soon as possible. The best choice.

As for launching it to the market on its own, the risk is too great, and the cost of publicity is also a very staggering figure. Given the company's current situation, it seems difficult to support it.

The information Ding Luochuan provided to Fan Wubing was not just from Tencent, but also from many software developers who hoped to receive funding or support. After all, everyone now knows that Fan's Investment Group is actually the largest in the country. For venture capitalists, if there is a suspicious project that makes them look over the top, there is still a good chance of it being adopted. This opportunity cannot be missed.

This Internet-based instant messaging tool launched by Tencent supports online message collection, instant transmission of voice, video and files, and integrates mobile communication methods to send information to mobile phone users through the client. The function is already very powerful.

Fan Wubing looked at the detailed instructions, and then thought about the QQ he was using at that time. It already had functions such as firewall traversal, dynamic expressions, playing videos/requesting songs for friends, capturing the screen, sharing folders, remote assistance, and providing chat. It is impossible not to be a little excited about the powerful functions such as scenes and pictures being displayed during chat.

From the bottom of his heart, Fan Wubing always believes that the biggest role of QQ is to bring people closer together, and at the same time, it has built a very convenient online information exchange platform for countless otakus and otakus. Of course, it also breeds QQ has won the hearts of countless finger users. As an indispensable instant messaging tool that has been widely used in work and daily life in a few years, the value created by QQ is unmatched.

At this time, the power of life and death of this small software was placed in front of him and in his hands. This made Fan Wubing, who was very busy hanging the sun, feel so upset that he could not calm down for a long time. .

To say that Fan Wubing covets this software with unlimited future prospects, it is better to say that he is very interested in this development team. You must know that Tencent's market value will be equivalent to approximately 30 billion US dollars in ten years. This figure is higher than the US$20 billion market value of Yahoo and the US$28 billion market value of eBay when Nasdaq closed on the same day. Following the market value of Amazon and g1e, it ranks third among global Internet stocks.

The development of Tencent QQ has profoundly affected and changed the communication methods and living habits of hundreds of millions of Internet users. It provides users with a huge and convenient communication platform, and implements various life functions, social service functions and business functions in people's lives. Application functions have changed people's lifestyles to an unprecedented degree and created a broader Internet application prospect.

A company team that can achieve such great achievements is obviously worthy of respect.

After Fan Wubing calmed down, he said to Ding Luochuan, "Don't mention anything else. You can take care of it yourself. But for this Q plan, I have to give priority to ensuring its completion. You talk to the other party and tell me I am quite interested in their entire company and their software industry. For the purpose of protecting the development of the national software industry, I hope they can maintain a certain degree of independence, so I am willing to personally invest 10 million yuan to acquire 100% of their company. Eighty percent of the shares.”

"This condition seems to be too generous -" Ding Luochuan said in shock upon hearing this, "I think it would be good to give them three to five million yuan to buy this software. What I let you see is actually something else. Several projects.”

Ding Luochuan didn't expect Mr. Fan to be so interested in the Q software with the little penguin icon, and couldn't help but scratch his head. This matter was completely different from his original idea. He originally wanted to sell several other projects to him, including investing in it. The quotas are all over 100 million, but Mr. Fan doesn't seem to be interested in those projects at all at this time.

Fan Wubing saw that Ding Luochuan was a little surprised, so he smiled and patted Ding Luochuan on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes as a human being, you need to take a longer view. What can you do if you buy a software? What we need most are these original works Only by mastering talents can you be invincible in the future. But to master talents, you need to give others enough respect. In fact, I think 10 million is enough to acquire 80% of their shares. , I have already made a lot of money, and when I mention it in the future, people will inevitably say that this guy is really evil!"

After hearing Fan Wubing's explanation, Ding Luochuan said with a smile, "Okay, whatever you say, Mr. Fan, I will contact them and try to settle this matter immediately. In order to increase the attraction, To add more power, why not do a high-density advertising of their software through Huafeng.com?”

Fan Wubing nodded and agreed with a smile, "You did a good job this time. I will reward you heavily later."

Shen Ying was also very surprised by Fan Wubing's performance today. Although she had known Fan Wubing for a long time, she had never seen Fan Wubing so happy. Naturally, she didn't know the role of QQ. Using free information exchange methods, we deceived most people into the pirate ship and guided everyone to form an Internet habit that they can’t break. Then they subdivided this huge resource group and promoted various websites based on their habits. A variety of specific service contents targeted at the needs of different groups, such as dating, online shopping, e-commerce, entertainment, games, etc.

If ordinary portals operate a kind of Internet habit, then what QQ operates is a kind of interpersonal relationship. When all your friends are communicating online, how can you not communicate online? Once you join the QQ family and become accustomed to this lifestyle, there is no chance of quitting.
