What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Future (5k)

The grudge between Thunder and Penguin has been around for a long time.

The former has tried IM tools, the latter operated the QQ whirlwind, and both sides fought offensive and defensive battles, and also competed in court in Nanshan District.

This grudge made Xunlei’s eyes lit up when he saw the threat from WeChat to Penguin. This time, Yu Xing went from Beijing to Yangcheng and then to Pengcheng, and the same shareholder IDG on both sides also greeted him in advance.

In addition, there are already examples of cooperation between 360, Sogou, UC and YY, Zou Shenglong did not hesitate to help.

He didn’t have to listen to any market competition at all. He just passed the motions and greeted Yu Xing and his group.

Yu Xing was really flattered when he felt this unprecedented enthusiasm.

“Brother, you don’t have enough companies to join forces, why don’t you bring Baidu and Alibaba in? There are also Sina, Sohu and NetEase?” Zou Shenglong asked about the situation regretfully after three tours of wine.

Yu Xingjian talked about what he said. Although Penguin has a bad reputation, not all traffic companies are willing to come in and get involved, even if WeChat companies are willing to sell equity relatively affordably.

Moreover, when you are doing business, no matter how affordable it is, it will be a piece of waste paper once it goes bankrupt.

“Hey, brother, tell the truth.” Zou Shenglong touched a glass of wine, “I’m talking straight, don’t blame me.”

Yu Xing smiled and said, “Brother Zou, it’s okay. I’m also the kind that speaks very straightforwardly. Just say it if you have something to say.”

Zou Shenglong thought about it and it was true that the young man in front of him was too straightforward.

He put down his glass and said, “I think it’s hard for you to beat Penguin on WeChat. I’m… It was four or five years ago. I also did communications at that time, but it was on the computer. I also wanted to find traffic at that time. At that time, I found 139 below Huaxia Mobile, but it ended in vain.”

Zou Shenglong shook his head and sighed: “Penguin is too strong in this regard, and this is not a good opponent.”

Yu Xing smiled slightly: “We are still ahead now.”

Zou Shenglong nodded and poured wine for Yu Xing himself: “So, the changes in this era are sometimes really hard to understand. In the past ten years, who can believe that there will be a communication software that can lead the Penguin?”

He happily made another suggestion: “Brother Yu, if you want to talk about this traffic, Mobile and China Unicom are the biggest ones, you should go find them.”

“Brother Zou, we have found it, but the operators are obviously not interested and can’t make an appointment with anyone who can manage the business.” Yu Xing pondered, “Although Feixin has no market trends, it is a competitive relationship after all, and there are various internal interests. We will try it later, but we basically don’t expect to cooperate.”

Zou Shenglong was quite regretful, but he grinned again: “Brother, it’s already awesome to be able to do this. If you can’t kill him, you will be scared!”

Yu Xing could feel the sincerity and even urgentness in this sentence, and couldn’t help but smile and said, “It may not be possible to kill me, but if you want to be shocked, it will probably work.”

Zou Shenglong’s enthusiasm immediately became higher: “Come on, I’ll respect you another cup. I’ve only heard a few mouthfuls of Bai Xiaosheng before, but I recently learned that there is a person like you!”

The atmosphere of the welcoming banquet presented by Xunlei was excellent, so I drank a lot of it.

After waking up after resting in the afternoon, Yu Xing and Li Shanyou discussed this situation and were still surprised by Xunlei’s initiative.

“Didn’t Mr. Zou say that, Mr. Yu is also the number one person. We are the third largest instant messaging company in China.” Li Shanyou smiled, “Although you can’t attract traffic by holding the banner of fighting against penguins, at least you can get help.”

Yu Xing agreed and said regretfully: “Yes, the foundation is still relatively poor, and the reputation in the world is not enough.”

Li Shanyou rolled his eyes: “Mr. Yu, I went to Motorola first, then to Alcoa, and then to Bausch Lomb, then joined Sohu to work diligently as Senior Vice President, and finally founded Cool6.com. Only then did I gain some reputation in the world, but I even sold Cool6.”

He sighed, “Look at you, it’s only been more than two years since you left school in 2008. Your name has become much louder than me! You are not satisfied! You still want to be able to unite and resist the reputation of penguins! You are too greedy!”

When Yu Xing heard this, hey, it was not unreasonable.

He touched the empty cigarette case and asked, “Mr. Li, do you want to learn? I’ll teach you.”

Li Shanyou said suspiciously: “Can you still teach this? Tell me.”

Yu Xing said sternly: “Occursing people.”

Li Shanyou didn’t react in the first second, thinking that what he was going to teach would offend people. Thinking about it again, these three words seemed to condense some of Mr. Yu’s traits in the past two years…

Since its establishment, Bai Xiaosheng has really offended countless people. Even the storm brought by today’s capital this time has been offended by Bai Xiaosheng’s rules. The traffic cooperation obtained from negotiations from south to north is also under the banner of offending Penguin.

Li Shanyou couldn’t help but think of Zhang Chaoyang’s previous warning to Yu Xing, “Don’t offend people less”, and also thought of his “offending more people” that day. He felt quite interesting and shook his head repeatedly: “I can’t learn it, Mr. Yu, you really can’t learn it.”

He immediately said, “But, although I can’t learn it, I can give you some supplements.”

Yu Xing pinched a flat cigarette box and threw it into the trash can accurately, listening carefully.

Li Shanyou pretended to be serious and said, “I will still survive if I offend people.”

Offending today’s capital, offending penguins, offending this and that, the current action is to try your best to survive after offending others.

The two looked at each other, laughed loudly, and they had a tacit understanding.

5500+1500+1500+2000+1500, the total traffic resources of 120 million Huaxia coins from 360+Sogou+YY+UC+Thunder were determined one by one after Yu Xing and others arrived in Pengcheng, and it was determined that they could supplement the fund gap caused by today’s capital vacancy.

This batch of traffic resources is diverse, including security software, browsers, input methods, voice software, download tools… It can be said to be a pieced together.

But unfortunately, a lot of traffic is not a supplement to WeChat promotion, but a continuation of previous cooperation.

A large part of the money WeChat company gets from the four institutions is used for promotion. Companies such as Sina and Sohu that have not agreed to cooperate are also one of the promotion channels that have been cooperated with.

After all, these are the companies with a lot of traffic in the domestic Internet. WeChat companies can only focus on them. The newly added YY and Sogou traffic was not in the cooperation before. Considering that their advertising conversions were relatively poor, the previous funds should be spent as much as possible.

Now… it’s very good if there is one.

Yu Xing repeatedly counted and calculated the impact of this “poor change” this night. He felt that the upper limit of the overall traffic pool of WeChat promotion had been widened, but the subsequent feedback on the daily increase still needs further observation.

At eleven o’clock in the middle of the night, he lay in bed and couldn’t sleep. He had a phone call with Xiaoying, and had a chat about two projects that the mountain was about to attack, and then talked about the style of browsing the major companies.

The phone was not hung up until the early morning.

Yu Xing looked at the mobile phone screen, flipped through the WeChat friend list, and considered the next day’s visit arrangement. Although this trip was helpless, the effect of his WeChat founder personally led the team seemed to be stronger than expected.

In the current market competition between WeChat and WeChat, perhaps its role in foreign cooperation is more important.

Yu Xing turned his mind and his eyes suddenly fell on the name of Zhai Yifei, the director of the post bar added in Beijing.

He thought about the last brief exchange and tentatively sent a message: “Mr. Zhai’s idea of ​​decentralization of information is very inspiring. When will we have time, we can talk together.”

In just five seconds, there was a reply on WeChat.

Zhai Yifei was simple and clear: “There is time now.”

Then came the second message: “WeChat is also very good. It is surprising that the industry is able to make such a product in such a short time.”

Yu Xing was considering how to reply, and the other party’s third message came again.

Zhai Yifei: “Mr. Yu said last time that control was transferred from the editorial room to the server cluster. I have thought about it these days. Compared with humans, the uninterrupted performance of machines 24 hours can indeed form a more hidden centralized power in massive information. If the machine uses algorithms to control information, the generation of information will be greatly affected by rules, and most creators will actively or passively transfer creative sovereignty to the algorithm.”

Before Yu Xing could talk about the previous topic, he simply posted a message in his voice: “The traffic mechanism of the hierarchical architecture and the super-centralized system under the distributed appearance.”

Zhai Yifei immediately replied in voice: “WeChat’s system architecture is a combination of hierarchical architecture and distributed approach, right?”

Yu Xing: “Hahaha, yes, I was discovered. These two words I learned from the technical team. When WeChat first launched the project, there were great differences in this regard. Later, I had a little superficial understanding. Now it is suitable to describe the future of decentralized information you mentioned.”

The two of them talked about possible future situations and changes one by one, and unknowingly they talked until two o’clock in the morning.

Yu Xing noticed the time when he was reminded of the battery level by his mobile phone. He saw that he had already talked a lot, so he reluctantly made an appointment to chat another day. After all, there is still something to be busy tomorrow.

However, when the phone was placed next to the pillow to charge, a thought flipped through my heart and jumped into WeChat.

Yu Xing sent a message: “Mr. Zhai, the decentralized information model has great potential. Are you willing to do it from Baidu? If you are willing to try it, I can invest.”

Zhai Yifei obviously didn’t sleep, and replied: “Does Mr. Yu have any funds to invest? WeChat company doesn’t seem to be very relaxed. Well, I feel pretty good at Baidu, and the development of Tieba is quite promising. I will talk about it if I have the opportunity in the future.”

Yu Xing felt a little regretful: “Mr. Zhai, if you can do this kind of project, the prospects will be much better than if you were working on a Tieba on Baidu, and it may be subversive. WeChat is now a critical period of competition, but Bai Xiaosheng can still incubate it, and I can also help find resources. Last time you said that homogeneous WeChat may not be able to beat Penguin, but this may not be possible.”

Zhai Yifei’s final reply was very short: “Thank you, Mr. Yu for your feelings, let’s talk about it.”

Yu Xing did not continue to send messages, and flipped through the chat content with this person, and fell asleep with a feeling of concern for the present moment.

Thunder in Pengcheng gave an exciting contact, but the following companies such as Renren and Shanda were unable to have too good expectations due to various factors. They can only say that they should do their best.

Today’s capital gap has basically been filled, and the remaining companies visited are considering enhancing the promotion effect of WeChat companies. However, although Renren.com cannot have another chance, it is unwilling to use traffic to exchange WeChat’s equity. Shanda Company may have some relationship with Tang Jun, or it may be its own decline, which is directly a hard nail.

NetEase was not interested in the next one, so Ctrip simply refused the purpose of visiting on the phone…

There are fewer and fewer names on the list. When I visited Youku, I finally received warm hospitality.

Youku’s courtesy is almost as good as Thunder!

Because Tudou.com, which has been suspended from listing, is its most direct competitor!

There is no company in the world that is more happy to see Tudou.com fail!

Yu Xing simply made up his intentions. Youku.com almost quickly compared the companies that he had already cooperated with and was willing to provide three months of traffic resources.

Li Shanyou could only sigh about this situation: “Mr. Yu, offending people can also be beneficial…”

The enemy is a friend, which is also quite obvious in business competition. Not to mention Youku today, the wave of traffic that WeChat owes at 360 is exactly this reason.

Yu Xing did not comment and arranged to split the troops: “Youku this time is within our expectations. Mr. Li, next you go to 58.com, and I go to Lin’an to find Alibaba. Let’s separate our affairs.”

Li Shanyou has a friend in 58, and he went to Lin’an to touch Alibaba’s current situation.

“These two are hard bones. I hope we can at least have good news.” Li Shanyou said sincerely.

After walking around like this, WeChat’s journey of seeking traffic cooperation is coming to an end.

However, before the two of them could separate their actions, a latest news from their opponent made them frown.

On the last day of November, Penguin’s micro-chat updated version officially launched the voice message function, which also means that it has adopted the following tactics that it is best at after clearing up internal problems and increasing its promotional power.

You have it, and I can have it too.

As soon as the new version of Weibo was launched, Yu Xing’s Weibo immediately became lively, and many comments were on @Penguin’s Lu Shan who did not dare to make a promise last time, and the mockery was fully demonstrated.

The prejudgment of the previous sentence from the founder of WeChat officially took effect.

Many people questioned Yu Xing in that public opinion, and at this time they joined the mockery of the Penguin with a “Mr. Yu, I’m sorry” queue.

Affected by this, the daily increase of WeChat users has reached a small peak, with a daily increase of nearly 500,000 users.

“Mr. Yu, Penguin still did this.” Li Shanyou’s worries were almost completely disguised, “There is one and two, and it will not stop when it opens like this.”

If you have been criticized, you will naturally have to completely kill your opponent.

Yu Xing seemed quite calm: “For penguins, the expected competitive means are effective. If I go to the penguins’ seminar, they might apologize to me.”

Li Shanyou was amused and crying.

“Let’s do it. I’m going to Lin’an. Ma Yi didn’t make an appointment. It’s good to see Cai Chongxin.” Yu Xing returned to the matter again.

Cai Chongxin is one of the eighteen arhats of Ali, known as the man behind Ma Yi. He is now the CFO of the group and is quite substantial.

Yu Xing also attaches great importance to seeing this person. If possible, I hope to have a wave of friendly contacts that lay the groundwork first.

However, Yu Xing has no feeling about following up on WeChat functions, so others are different.

Just when he had just arrived in Lin’an, a message from Zhai Yifei from Baidu Tieba was sent over.

Zhai Yifei: “Mr. Yu, the micro chat has also been posted on the voice version.”

Yu Xing: “Yes.”

After two short sentences, Zhai Yifei took a long time to send a voice message: “Mr. Yu, do you think the decentralized information model is really expected to subvert companies like Penguin?”

Yu Xing was so energetic when he received this news, he thought for two seconds and replied: “Mr. Zhai, I don’t know if you will be happier if I say this. It is not only possible to subvert Penguin, but also hope to subvert your current boss.”

Zhai Yifei replied almost instantly: “Mr. Yu, do you and Bai Xiaosheng really have money to invest in incubation?”

Yu Xing confirmed: “If you can show off, even if I don’t have money, I have the ability to go out to find money.”

Zhai Yifei: “Then I’ll give it a try.”

Yu Xing put down his phone, wondering if this keen Tieba director can really make the decentralized information model look like, and I don’t know where Zhang Yiming, who made bytes, is now.

When I arrived in Alibaba, I met Cai Chongxin, and the appointment was only half an hour.

Almost all Yu Xing was saying that the CFO of Alibaba only raised a few questions that were not related.

In the end, Cai Chongxin gave a clear answer: “Mr. Yu, the competition between WeChat and Penguin is impressive, but our strategic scope does not cover this area. I hope your WeChat can develop better.”

Yu Xing asked: “According to this trend, Alibaba will sooner or later engage in close contact with Penguin. It is now blocked in front of the mobile instant messaging door. Shouldn’t Alibaba lend a helping hand immediately?”

Cai Chongxin said slowly: “Mr. Yu, I think Alibaba needs to do its own thing and then see what will happen.”

Yu Xing asked a little disappointedly: “Mr. Ma thinks so too? Does Mr. Ma know about the competition between WeChat and WeChat?”

Cai Chongxin heard what Yu Xing meant, smiled, and said with certainty: “Of course he knew, of course he thought so.”

Of course Yu Xing was not satisfied with these two, but he also knew that this trip was a waste of effort.

He could only say with regret: “I hope Mr. Ma and Ali will change their minds because of reality.”

Cai Chongxin smiled slightly and stood up to see him off.

Yu Xing left Alibaba and considered the information he felt during this meeting. He still felt sorry. If the traffic of this giant can really attract the market, he might not be able to try more possibilities.

However, Ma Yi is still abroad and is said to be still dealing with Yahoo’s equity.

The turmoil caused by Alipay’s equity has not completely subsided. At least, Yahoo’s equity holdings have not yet received a solution that both of them are satisfied with.

Yu Xing strolled on the shore of West Lake, looking at the early winter scenery, and thinking hard about the expectations of WeChat competition.

As noon approached, he suddenly received a WeChat message from Liu Jiankai.

“Mr. Yu, we’ve followed up on WeChat.” Liu Jiankai didn’t talk for a long time, and the latest news about WeChat competition was the beginning.

“Yes, today’s former vice president of Capital, you have such a good news.” Yu Xing replied.

Liu Jiankai’s voice was quite helpless: “Mr. Yu, it’s not good to expose someone’s scars.”

Yu Xing smiled and said, “Yes, I usually create scars.”

Liu Jiankai: “…”

A moment later, he mentioned what happened when he resigned in the first half of the month: “Mr. Yu, let’s not hide it. I dreamed of you before. I dreamed of me by a friend to carry out a subsidy fraud project, and then my Bai Xiaosheng was exposed. I rushed to your office to confront you. In the end, you apologized to me, but I slammed the door and left.”

  If you didn’t do the right dream, is it wrong to say that it is?

Yu Xing laughed silently: “Mr. Liu, do you… have a next home? The Falcon is short of people, are you here?”

Liu Jiankai declined: “If you don’t go, you are all investing. So why should I quit? Is there any other way?”

Yu Xing thought for a while and asked, “Bisheng’s Letao.com is developing well now. He has potential. Are you going?”

Liu Jiankai still refused: “I want to go to e-commerce, why not go to JD.com? Don’t, is there any more?”

Yu Xing sat in the chair, pondered for a few seconds, and asked again: “I came out this time and met a director from Baidu. He is going to do a new information acquisition model project. The prospects are very good. Are you here?”

Liu Jiankai looked at the words on the screen and refused again: “If you don’t go, it will be unreliable when you hear it.”

Yu Xing was helpless: “If you don’t go, then, what else can you do if you don’t go?”

Liu Jiankai smiled and said, “Mr. Yu, you are a strange person, and you can definitely help me think about it.”

Yu Xing thought about it and suddenly thought of a direction. After clearing his throat, he asked, “Decentralization is a key point in my chat with Baidu. Speaking of decentralization, Mr. Liu, have you heard of blockchain?”

Liu Jiankai replied after a long time: “What is that?”

Yu Xing stared at the West Lake for a while and replied, “It’s probably the future.”
