What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 268

Chapter 268 Confrontation (6k)

“What’s going on? What’s going on??”

On the evening of the evening when the ceremony collapsed and the music was broken, before Liu Jiankai could get home, the boss Xu Xin’s phone call came in, and he couldn’t wait to know the whole story.

Yu Xing came politely this time, so he naturally did not intend to enjoy it alone. He soon spread the videos and pictures to different platforms, which was a batch of high-intensity fission propaganda.

Xu Xin habitually visited Bai Xiaosheng and noticed the new situation.

Liu Jiankai described the matter and mentioned the more novel details.

“Lu Shan is gone, Ni Feipeng and his group of people left Yu Xing and the other three indignantly. They were quite imposing, but as a result, the people next to Ni Feipeng wanted to call the police…”

“Yu Xing hasn’t reacted yet, so Lu Shan first pressed down his own person who wanted to call the police.”

“Lu Shan and the others didn’t report it, and Yu Xing and the other two were asking to call the police again…”

Liu Jiankai also felt funny when he said this: “My grass, what’s the matter!”

Those who are troubled are afraid to call the police, and those who are troubled are desperately trying to report it!

The lion panicked, and the sheep spread their teeth and claws!

Xu Xin couldn’t help laughing: “Everyone knows that WeChat is competing with Penguin. I just got lost contact before, and I was not famous. If I had to do something similar, I would be really stung by someone…”

She asked, “What’s next?”

“It was left alone later.” Liu Jiankai said, “There are still people watching here. Yu Xing and the others don’t do it, they just talk. Ni Feipeng and the others can’t do it. If they talk, they can’t answer it. Yu Xing and the others repeatedly requested it. The answer was very simple, but they just couldn’t get a positive response.”

Xu Xin already had a picture in her mind.

—The surname is Yu, you XXXXX!

—Can penguins not learn as they are? May I?

—We are talking about XXXX now!

—Can penguins not learn as they are? May I?

Somehow, Xu Xin suddenly felt itchy in her teeth.

She said quietly, “Liu Jiankai, you should help you next to you.”

Liu Jiankai laughed and said, “Mr. Xu, you didn’t see it. Yu Xing and the other three don’t need my help at all.”

Xu Xin suggested regretfully: “I mean, you should help Penguin get Yu Xing and the others in, so that you can lose contact for the second time. Anyway, it will definitely not be locked up for a long time, and it may bring a very high heat.”

Liu Jiankai: “…”

Xu Xin didn’t hear the answer and sighed: “This is dealing with penguins. You can use any tricks that are useful. If you ask Yu Xing, he should not object.”

Liu Jiankai planned to hang up the phone and sent a WeChat message to ask Yu Xing, and said something similar to Yu Xing: “Yu Xing also said that dealing with penguins is to go side by side…”

He said that the final scene was helpless: “Anyway, they left in the end.”

“The key to the problem now is whether Penguin’s competitive means against WeChat will continue the replica of the kind they performed with 360 in the past few years or even this year.” Xu Xin said so.

Liu Jiankai said without hesitation: “Of course!”

“Of course, of course, otherwise, why can’t Lu Shan respond to this question at all? Damn, if Lu Shan answered Yu Xing with such mixed words, I suspect he is ready to embarrass people…” A very natural deduction suddenly appeared in Xu Xin’s mind.

Liu Jiankai was stunned for several seconds and couldn’t help but agree, “Of course…”

“Lu Shan’s style is quite restrained. Why did he come to Shanghai for nothing? If it were Liu Chiping, there might be some different sparks.” Xu Xin felt a little regretful that he was not present.

Liu Jiankai could only say: “I didn’t expect Yu Xing to do this to senior penguin like Lu Shan…”

According to normal people’s habits, penguins like Lu Shan should be able to get the minimum respect as a penguin.

Liu Jiankai had considered what Yu Xing wanted to do. He thought it would be a verbal battle at most, but he did not expect it to be purely unilateral humiliation.

Xu Xin smiled and said, “So what do you think Hongyi’s missing contact?”

Liu Jiankai was speechless and even wanted to reflect on whether he was a bit polite to the strong. There was no reason that the strong could only humiliate the weak.

“Business rules are just a vague category, and Yu Xing is just performing his normal level.” Xu Xin said this and suddenly said again, “Liu Chiping talked to me.”

Liu Jiankai’s heart tightened: “What did he say?”

“I didn’t say much, but I just expressed my importance to this competition.” Xu Xin said lightly, “and then I felt that I could sit together if I had time.”

Liu Jiankai hesitated for a few seconds and said, “The market is going to be played and watched.”

Xu Xin agreed: “Yes, I think so too, call and watch it, and the voice function of WeChat’s internal testing is really good.”

Liu Jiankai said at this time: “I think Penguin will definitely replicate this voice version of WeChat. Later, it depends on whether the WeChat changes can be recognized by the market.”

To gain market recognition means to gain Penguin recognition, then Yu Xing’s sharp offense can be implemented this time.

In other words, Yu Xing’s action this time was like a pre-sentence.

Only when the suspect cooperates can the maximum effect be achieved. What if the suspect does not cooperate? What if the suspect only cooperates halfway?

This kind of consideration is not only Liu Jiankai, but also passers-by who watched the fun this time.

Of course, considering that the goal is a penguin with a bad reputation, everyone should be more concerned about laughing.

Yu Xing, who is from China’s third largest chat tool, seemed to have a dart against the largest, but can it really swing?

This matter is doubtful for the time being.

However, whether it is Yu Xing taking a picture with the hat of “protecting the environment” or the scene of him chasing the senior Penguin, this seems both funny and ironic, and he really grabs traffic in front of the vice president of Penguin who said he has seized traffic…

This incident received a review on Weibo.

—Mr. Yu’s call to the mountains, and the silence from the mountains.

There are also many people who only read Yu Xing to tell jokes on Weibo before, but this time they really saw his…the spirit of resistance, and suddenly they felt very attracted to fans.

The Baixiaosheng Forum has turned a lot of comments that are eye-opening. Many old users are very happy and crying about this. It feels like they are from entanglement to becoming more popular, allowing more people to see Dr. Yu’s sharpness!

There are two different encouraging atmospheres on Weibo and Bai Xiaosheng.

The former is, see what penguins have forced Mr. Yu to be like!

The latter is that the Penguin finally forced out Dr. Yu’s true form!

But no matter what, Yu Xing readily accepted this.

“Mr. Yu, Penguin may not be concerned about the public opinion control this time.” Vice President Li Shanyou felt that the boss won unexpectedly, and on the other hand, he was also worried about the upcoming head-on confrontation.

“It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s certain. If the penguin is so naive, can it be here until now?” Yu Xing was very calm in the face of such words, “But it’s better to have public opinion. In addition, guess what I got.”

Li Shanyou seriously speculated: “Lawyer’s letter?”

Yu Xing smiled and said, “No, it’s an invitation letter, the invitation letter from the penguin.”

Li Shanyou said incrediblely: “Invitation letter? What invitation? The knife, axe and a cup is thrown as a number?”

“At the end of January next year, that is, the Penguin strategic transformation exchange meeting before the Spring Festival, it is said that it is necessary to listen to suggestions, advice and criticism from all walks of life.” Yu Xing replied.

Li Shanyou looked at the boss in surprise: “Invitation? Do they don’t want to do it?”

Yu Xing pondered for a moment and sighed: “I can only say that the penguins are indeed very confident. Maybe they think the battle can be resolved before the New Year.”

Li Shanyou’s throat slid and he didn’t say anything.

WeChat users are rising steadily, but many of the previous expectations for Penguin have been shattered. It is neither slow nor despised. It is already the one who is in charge of the troops and is about to surround it.

After a while, he asked a question: “Mr. Yu, I heard that the next version of WeChat can only be used on Android and iOS first. So when can Saipan be used?”

Yu Xing looked at the vice president and smiled: “Tan Ruize and the others are working hard, so it shouldn’t be too late.”

Li Shanyou nodded, communicated for a while, and then left to work.

After less than ten minutes of quietness in the president’s office, technical director Ge Zhijie walked in with a heavy face.

“Mr. Yu, I, I may really not be able to bear the pressure…”

Yu Xing was desensitized to the technical director’s expression, signaling him to sit first, and then asked, “Is it a problem with the Symbian system?”

Ge Zhijie was silent for a while and talked about the bad news: “Sypan’s architecture is old, audio codec and network transmission optimization are too difficult, and the adaptation is too complicated, which is likely to delay our market action…”

“Didn’t Android and iOS go very smoothly? There is no problem with internal testing.” Yu Xing comforted, “You don’t have to worry too much about Saipan. It’s great to have Android and iOS now.”

Ge Zhijie asked in pain: “What should I do if Saipan?”

“This is a market-level problem after all,” Yu Xing said, “Don’t worry, as for this version, there is actually a solution, first, then voice.”

Ge Zhijie stared at the boss in a daze, a little confused and a little suspicious.

Yu Xing looked at Ge Zhijie’s gaze and asked, “Mr. Ge, if you have something to do, you can tell me directly. Is the Penguin people paying money to poach you? At this moment, if you insist on leaving, I am not the kind of person who will definitely miss your future.”

Ge Zhijie’s face suddenly turned red, and he angrily denied this doubt.

He has been under a lot of pressure during this period, but the recent difficult performance of Symbian version of WeChat is still frustrating. Its native support does not have enough audio codec algorithms. The audio processing module often slows down and loses frames when processing high sampling rate and high-quality audio data, which causes stuttering, distortion and other phenomena in recording and playback of voice information.

In addition, the multitasking mechanism of the Symbian system, the support for the new network transmission protocol, etc. are all great obstacles. Simply put, it is quite OK to process text information on Symbian version of WeChat, but it may take more than half a year to follow the current progress of the voice information.

Ge Zhijie knew the upcoming competition of Penguin, so he felt that this half year was really luxurious.

Yu Xing apologized for his insulting the technical director’s innocence, talked about the good progress in the market again, and finally smoked two cigarettes with him before ending the comfort.

When there was only one person left in the president’s office, the smoke rose again.

Yu Xing stood by the window, looking at the telephone pole outside that was blocking his view, frowning.

Penguin’s rapid response brought a chain impact. WeChat wants to compete with the change of new features, which requires hardware basic support. Symbian performed poorly in this regard, but the number of Android and iOS in China is still relatively limited.

According to the data analysis of multiple independent institutions, including parallel products, the total stock of domestic Apple phones from 2008 to the present is about 6.5 million units, while Android has only seen a significant price drop this year, with a total stock of only about 11 million units.

In other words, putting aside Symbian, the total number that can support WeChat to update subsequent versions now is no more than 17.5 million.

Including the growth of smartphones in the next few months, the limit of this part will not exceed 24 million.

This theoretical limit is bound to be impossible to reach, and it is very optimistic that WeChat can get 70%.

As of today, the total number of WeChat users is 8.3 million, of which Symbian accounts for 35%, Android and iOS accounts for 54%, and counterfeit phones account for 11%.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

Therefore, whether it is publicity, fission or version change, WeChat is likely to usher in a significantly weakened growth in the next few months, and its roughly range will be around 30 million.

According to Yu Xing’s initial market judgment, WeChat can reach 20 million as soon as possible, which may establish a good siphon effect. From the judgment of Penguin Liu Chiping, he placed this number at 50 million to 100 million.

Yu Xing felt that Liu Chiping’s judgment might be closer to the real situation.

In this way, there is a slowing barrier in front of WeChat and a penguin’s quick pursuit behind it, which is likely to usher in a substantial turning point in competition.

But the domestic smartphone market will inevitably usher in explosive growth next year, and the front barrier will disappear by itself as long as there are a few more months.

Yu Xing looked at the telephone pole, and felt that the telephone pole was looking at him.

After smoking a cigarette like this, I still used the conclusion that “it is impossible to challenge the penguin with homogeneous communication software” that I communicated with Xiaoying before to soothe my brows. The penguin’s strength is still strong, otherwise I would not be able to seize the short opportunity if I had a quick reaction.

Moreover, even if it cannot seize this opportunity, the massive traffic still holds the key to winning.

Yu Xing took the cigarette box, drank half a cup of tea and rubbed his face before walking out of the office, preparing to face the head-on competition with the Penguin.

On October 25, Penguin has not released its competitors, but preheating has begun to appear on QQ. It is officially announced that it will release a free SMS-style mobile communication software called “WeChat” on the 29th. You can register an account with one click by using the QQ number.

At the same time, the QQ client also pops up the release appointment, and as long as the user successfully registers for WeChat, the relevant icons can be illuminated on QQ.

Such publicity and traffic diversion are the exclusive secrets.

On this day, the counterattack from Penguin was officially unveiled, which made the industry excited.

October 6th is the day when WeChat debuted after 3Q, and it is also the time to attract Penguin’s attention. It launched mobile competitors in just 23 days. The speed is very fast and the momentum is not bad.

And, there are also information that confirms that the Penguin’s attitude is not bad.

It is said that because Penguin wanted to make a communication tool for free text messages, this move was strongly opposed by China Unicom’s senior management, and he directly called Pony Ma, demanding that such a decision be revoked.

Pony Ma Hui refused with a firm rejection, and the quarrel with China Unicom was not very happy.

WeChat seems to be a small company started this year, but it has been included in the list of heavy enemies by Penguin, and it is launched by the lion fighting against the rabbit.

Yu Xing received a lot of inquiries this day, and felt all kinds of emotions such as caring, waiting and watching, watching the excitement, watching jokes, etc.

That night, WeChat company did not disappoint Penguin’s attention and announced on its official website that the user usage had exceeded 10 million.

The last time WeChat announced the number of users was 9 million on October 21, and after 4 days, another update node happened to arrive. Although this growth rate is gone without the stimulation of the huge public opinion of 3Q, the number is still quite considerable.

10 million, compared to the 9 million figure, it seems to have a certain threshold, which looks completely different.

“WeChat has a strong strength from 2 million at the beginning of the month to 10 million at the end of the month. Whether it is in multiple Android app markets or Apple stores, it is the first-ranked download. Penguin is not that easy to chase, right?”

“Watching eagles all day long, maybe you will be pecked by eagles!”

“10 million, this is already 10 million…”

“I feel that there are indeed many people around me who are using WeChat. The speed of WeChat from 0 to 10 million is much faster than Penguin’s QQ back then!”

Someone also specifically checked and found that the registration volume of QQ from 0 to 10 million took a full 22 months, while WeChat took less than 4 months from July 5, when it was officially launched on the market.

From 22 to 4.

Everyone has always been paying attention to Penguin’s shadow on WeChat, and looking at the operations of WeChat companies alone cannot be underestimated!

Penguin warms up the publicity, WeChat returns tens of millions, and the confrontation between the two sides is coming soon.

However, the next day, a new disruptor appeared.

Renren announced that it would open the download of the free mobile instant messaging software “Renren Cha” at 3:00 pm on October 26, officially testing the hot communication track.

Renren.com? Everyone talks?

Where did it come out?

Moreover, your “everyone chat” interface is too similar to “WeChat”, right? !

The industry’s attention has been temporarily shifted to Renren.com, and a competitive analysis has also been conducted, believing that it has strong ability to disrupt the situation with 170 million registered users.

This is a serious 170 million registered users, and the traffic resources at the start are much better than Yu Xing’s incubation!

However, Yu Xing had no interest in “Renren Chat”, so the three platforms of Weibo, Baixiaosheng, and Renren were given a huge criticism.

Whether it is the software interface or the use of logic and functions, Renren Cha is like a replica of WeChat.

Is Penguin like this, and you Renren.com like this?

“Dog Damn” didn’t scold you, right?

Renren originally had executives actively promoting software on Weibo, but they were soon confused by this criticism.

He even expressed his grievances a little confused: “Penguin is this way of competition. It is in line with the industry’s situation.”

Doing is wrong, and saying it is even more wrong.

Poor speeches lead to stronger criticism, a large part of which are Renren’s own basic campus users. They are relatively unable to rub the sand in their eyes. The penguin has not yet reproduced it. You, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, will you reproduce it first?

That night, Renren.com’s development team worked overtime urgently to discuss solutions.

On October 27, the second day after Renren Chat was launched, its criticized software interface was modified first and said that innovation will be added in the future.

But…this is ridiculed again.

It is wrong to do it, it is wrong to say it, and it is even more wrong to change.

The biggest voice is, “You have copied it all, why are you changing it? Isn’t this scolding and not asking for anything?”

This sounds very reasonable.

The executives of Renren.com are both helpless and hesitant. This is not right to copy or modify. What should we do?

They discussed it over and over again and decided not to move. Since it has been changed, then keep it.

The industry’s attention to Renren Chat has not been maintained for too long, and soon on October 29, he turned his attention to the real giant Penguin.

At 9 o’clock in the morning that day, Penguin’s three versions of Symbian, Android and iOS were launched simultaneously, officially launching the strategic transfer from PC to mobile.

For a moment, I don’t know how many QQ icons were lit by users.

Not surprisingly, the WeChat chat interface is also similar to WeChat, except that the WeChat login interface is the Himalayas, while the WeChat chats about the South Pole of the Earth and a group of penguins.

In addition, the interface, typesetting, text, etc. are very similar.

Everyone treated it differently and criticized the penguin for its habitual reproduction.

There were also people who were very sarcastic, “No wonder that Lu Shan did not dare to answer Dr. Yu’s request, so he could only cover his face and leave. It turned out that he knew he could not do it. This is the real Penguin.”

However, no matter how everyone satirizes and criticizes it, Penguin is completely different, showing the calmness of an old replica.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Renren held an emergency meeting again, changed the decision two days ago, and changed the “Renren Cha” again, and decided to learn the spirit of the penguin.

“Mr. Yu, what do you think of this WeChat chat?” Xu Xin asked Yu Xing’s intuitive feelings in the WeChat group.

“It’s OK. The one-click registration of this QQ number is good, it’s very simple and mobile.” Yu Xing commented, “I tried it, and it’s very silky to use it. It’s like using WeChat. However, QQ has not conducted more traffic diversion, so I don’t know if it needs to be tested.”

QQ did not open the connection between offline messages and WeChat, which surprised Yu Xing and he was relieved for a while.

Preheating is like an advertisement, because Penguin’s huge traffic will have a good effect, but WeChat has previously promoted 360 omni-channel, so it has barely experienced that situation and will not be particularly shocked.

Such advertising effect will drop rapidly. Next, we still need to look at the functions and user experience of the software. If offline messages are not really pushed, the drainage of micro-chat on the surface may not be very strong.

Yu Xing talked about his judgment and thoughts, which made investors feel a little relieved.

“I’m just waiting to see the attractiveness of the new version tonight.” Zhang Suyang said this.

The new version of WeChat is already waiting for the debut of Penguin Competitors, and its launch news was launched simultaneously with CCTV News.

That night, Yu Xing’s interview was released on CCTV, enthusiastically introducing the development of WeChat companies, focusing on the innovation of voice messages, and believing that this is expected to drive the hot sales of smartphones.

“The era of mobile Internet has arrived.”

Yu Xing used this sentence in the news to announce the formal competition with Penguin, which instantly pushed the industry’s attention to the fierce competition between these two companies in the new era to the pinnacle.
