Chapter 452 New Ideas
Among Internet companies, if the number of users and viscosity is just about it, then no company can compare with Tencent.
But how to convert this huge number of users into profits is a headache for Brother Ma.
The reason why Tencent's market value has always been so low is that the company has not found a profit direction and the company's profits cannot increase.
It was launched with QQ membership services and QQ shows, and there were also a lot of messy diamonds, which really made a lot of money.
However, it is far from enough.
Because the company that makes social software has invested too much in hardware and operation and maintenance!
Think about it, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of users are using your software every moment, and not just browsing, but sending messages to each other, as well as voice and video.
How many servers does this require?
How much bandwidth is required!
Therefore, although Tencent dominates the domestic real-time social field and its company size is also at the giant level, its market value is not even comparable to that of Meigou.com.
Not only is it not as good as it is, it is also very different from the US Shopping Network.
Tencent Holdings, which is listed in Xiangjiang, currently has a market value of only more than 240 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 40 billion US dollars.
The market value of Meigou.com is more than 110 billion US dollars!
Internet companies, investors allow you to be unprofitable for a long time, but they need to see that you have clear monetization channels and monetization capabilities.
Those companies that do not have the ability to monetize will not last long.
The monetization of Tencent’s membership system has been proven that it can only survive, but it cannot live better.
Therefore, the market value of this social giant has been so sluggish for a long time.
Of course, Brother Ma was unwilling to give up. After so many years, he finally endured all his competitors to death. Now QQ and WeChat dominate both the computer and mobile terminals.
But it doesn't make money...
He was trying his best to improve the company's profitability, so he started his own e-commerce website, but ended up dead.
Now he has become interested in group buying websites and wants to invest in a few companies. Since he can't do it well, then I can invest and support others in it.
Brother Ma admires Wang Ye’s vision and forward-looking nature very much, so when he has the opportunity, he will ask Wang Ye for questions related to the Internet.
Wang Ye did not hide it. Although Meigou.com was very successful, Wang Ye did not focus his career on the Internet, so there was no need to worry about any competition.
Regarding group buying, Wang Ye frankly expressed his opinions.
"Mr. Ma, I'm not optimistic about group buying. It's just a bubble economy. It won't take long. When this tide fades, you will find that the current popular group buying websites are actually swimming naked."
After hearing Wang Ye's judgment, Brother Ma was a little worried. His company has been contacting several group buying websites recently and is preparing to invest.
If it is really as Wang Ye said, no one can do it, then wouldn’t I have used the money to waste it?
"So many group buying websites, can't there be one that can be built?"
Brother Ma asked unwillingly.
Wang Ye thought about it and couldn't speak too absolute, although most group buying websites
The stations were dead, but some survived.
"Then let Meituan. This company is different from other group buying websites. It focuses on group buying in the service industry. This kind of group buying is truly a starting point. I guess this company has a good prospect."
Brother Ma quickly recorded the name "Meituan.com". He had no doubt that Wang Ye was talking nonsense. If he had not been sure of a certainty, how could he speak nonsense?
Even if Wang Ye doesn’t have to take responsibility for the rest of the world, perhaps Brother Ma may invest hundreds of millions or even more funds after listening to his speculation, so he will say it if he is confident.
While chatting, the safe old Ma also walked in. When he saw Brother Ma, he shook his head and smiled and said, "I said you Tencent, it's really! The game you made is so weird, the name is so weird, the boy of my family is addicted to this game, he plays it every day after school, and his grades are back down!"
Brother Ma quickly defended himself: "Brother Ma, you can't blame me for this. There are always people who need to do games. As long as you have self-control and control the time of playing games, it will not affect anything."
Tencent has started making games in the past two years. The "lut, lu" that Lao Ma mentioned is actually a game called "League of Legends" introduced by Tencent.
This game was introduced in 2010. After Tencent promoted it for more than two years, it only improved this year.
In the past, people would be ridiculed for playing romance, especially old players who play dota, who don’t even look down on this League of Legends game.
When Wang Ye heard the name "Lu Ai Lu", he was stunned for a moment. He didn't play games very much, but how could he not know about this game?
I just have been busy with my career and haven't noticed it at all. Tencent has taken down this game and promoted it for a while.
He asked quickly: "Mr. Xiao Ma, what year has this lol game been introduced this year?"
Brother Ma looked at Wang Ye in surprise. He didn't expect that Wang Ye actually knew about this game.
Originally, people like them were too busy with work, which was really like Stephen Chow said in the movie, about hundreds of thousands of minutes.
Just like Xiao Ma Ge’s company is now making games, but he doesn’t have much time to play games.
"It's been three years since it was introduced. There are not many people playing in the first two years. This year, the format is good, and there are millions of monthly active players."
If it is a paid game, it would be amazing that millions of monthly active users. Currently, only World of Warcraft can reach this level.
Unfortunately, lol is a completely free game, so although there are many active users, Tencent has not made much money.
Tencent has not yet cultivated to the great state of "creating happiness with firewood" in later generations, or rather, it is not unscrupulous enough.
"Have you started to do any competition? It's a world-class?" Wang Ye asked.
The most suitable game for games like lol and dota is e-sports, that is, competitions. If there is no competition, the charm of this type of game will be reduced by half.
"It has been held for two sessions, and the third session will be held this year. Unfortunately, the influence is not very good, and there are not many people watching it on the spot." Brother Ma smiled embarrassedly.
"Did you acquire Riot Company?" Wang Ye continued to ask.
Brother Ma was not surprised, but shocked.
