Chapter 1458 I also thought of what you thought of(1/2)
While Li Dong was staying in the capital, other places did not stop.
Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Tencent Headquarters.
Ma Huateng wandered in the office for a while. After a long time, Ma Huateng suddenly turned around and said, "How long has Alen been away?"
Xu Chenye, who was Tencent CIO at the time, thought for a moment before saying: "The distance where I joined the company in August 2008 is almost 8 months old."
"Did you see the remote management adjustment not long ago?
Alen quietly became the president of the mobile business group.
He had been away for so long, and there seemed to be no movement, but he was promoted like this and even replaced Wang Junyu's position.
Although Wang Junyu is not demoted, why is Alen promoted for no reason?
He even became the president of the mobile business group!
Mobile business has always been a business that Li Dong attaches great importance to, and it is not enough for ordinary people to hold this position.
Li Dong is not the kind of person who just gets promoted. In terms of getting close to him, there are more people in the distance, how long will Alen go?"
Xu Chenye couldn't help but say, "Didn't Li Dong say before that the red envelope system was made by Alen?"
"Beast!"
Ma Huateng has always been gentle, but now his temper is getting more and more irritable, and he can even speak out as soon as he swears.
After cursing, Ma Huateng took a deep breath, rubbed his cheek hard and said, "Even if the red envelope system is from Alen, this credit alone is not enough to get Alen to the top.
Also, I have been a little uneasy since the beginning of the year.
The threat PP has put us is getting bigger and bigger, even surpassing the MSN at the time.
In the past two years, Fargo has been constantly suppressing our business.
When I didn't pay attention, the PP rose.
At the beginning, we all thought it was just another Ali Wangwang. Who would have thought that with the help of an emoticon, the other party would quickly grow bigger.
After that, during the time when we measured the pros and cons, the other party caught up in the blink of an eye!”
When Ma Huateng said this, he felt a little regretful.
When the PP was launched at the beginning, they noticed it.
But Alibaba was also ambitious at the beginning. When it launched Alibaba Want Want, it also wanted to challenge Tencent in the field of instant messaging.
Of course, the final result was miserable. Before Tencent could take action, the other party was beaten and could not find Bei.
The original intention of PP is very similar to Alibaba Want Want. The only difference is that PP has made some new tricks and updated the emoticon package system.
But QQ quickly followed, and PP fell into a quiet period at that time, and it seemed that it would not continue to invest in the distance.
However, although the distance did not invest in PP, it was a different approach.
What really made PP popular again is not the PP itself, but the farm game that is still popular now.
With this game and the need for mall communication, tens of millions of active users have been drawn to the PP in just a few months.
Once an active user reaches tens of millions of dollars, it will be difficult to suppress it in a short period of time.
At that time, Tencent was also following the trend urgently. However, when they launched the game, the Far East immediately began to update. In addition, Li Dong asked someone to sue Tencent and constantly hype PPs, which promoted the outside world that PPs posed a major threat to QQ.
With the reputation of QQ, the PP is known to more people.
Even if it is hyped, it is not very useful for ordinary small businesses.
However, the distance is not an ordinary company, and Li Dong is not an ordinary person. Li Dong is actually a real marketing master and has done a good job in this regard.
After several hypes, the PP became more and more popular.
At that stage, even if Tencent reacted, it was a little late.
At this time, Tencent had actually had the idea of making great efforts to eliminate the other party.
However, the result was helpless. Several attacks not only failed to achieve good results, but instead helped the PP to increase its fame and scale again and again.
Until now, time has not passed for too long.
And PP has grown to an unimaginable level.
The distance seems to be stuck on a node, intercepting their products, and taking the lead in launching a series of products, each of which has been popular with the market.
Every time Tencent is about to follow the trend, the other party immediately starts to update more advanced versions.
Time and time again, and several times, Tencent seemed to hit the empty space every time it punched.
After a few times, Ma Huateng felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood, and the executives and technicians on Tencent were also very aggrieved.
The products and projects that were launched were on the verge of elimination again and again, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources, but the results were not satisfactory, and they were ridiculed by the distance again and again.
Over the past few years, the only one that Tencent has maintained its advantage is probably the only number of users.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy Ma Huateng became. After a long time, he said: "Alen became the president of the mobile business group. Li Dong has always said that he would defeat us in the mobile field. The future is the era of mobile.
I think Alen's promotion will not be due to the red envelope system.
If this is the case, Li Dong should have taken action at the end of last year when the red envelope system was launched.
Maybe... Maybe Alen's promotion is because he has made another breakthrough in the mobile field!"
Ma Huateng said, squinting his eyes and said, "Starting this year, Li Dong has been making frequent moves, targeting Alibaba and other retail companies.
But I don’t know if you have noticed that Li Dong seems to ignore us this year.
From the beginning of the year to the present, it seems that we have collectively forgotten in the distance.
Not only do we not oppose us, but we are focusing on winning over us.
E-commerce is trying to win us, and Internet finance is trying to win us..."
"He wanted to comfort us, and he wanted to focus on Alibaba, right?" Another senior Tencent president said subconsciously.
Ma Huateng glanced at him sharply, and then said for a while: "Maybe, this is also the illusion that Li Dong wants us to have!
To this day, QQ and PP have actually had great conflicts and conflicts in their business, and are getting bigger and bigger, much bigger than Alibaba!
Taobao's main business of C2C is actually not very conflicting with the distance, and even if there is, it is not fatal.
On the contrary, the conflict between us and PP is fatal.
As early as last year, I wanted to take the initiative to launch a war with Li Dong and defeat the distant places in one fell swoop.
But every time I had this motivation, Li Dong seemed to notice it and kept comforting me.
After a few times, I was really convinced.
But these days, my anxiety has become more and more serious. I am afraid something will happen!"
Ma Huateng said, and suddenly said: "I originally wanted to wait for the virtual currency fund to go online, but there is still more than a month before it goes online. In more than a month, something might happen.
Can't wait, let's take action immediately!
Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, the 20th, the 3G version of QQ will be officially updated and launched!
It’s useless to just launch a new version, I thought about it…”
Ma Huateng looked at everyone and said slowly: "I will negotiate with the three major operators. Tencent will provide large-scale subsidies to the traffic expenses incurred by users to see if it can block the traffic entrance of PP."
Everyone's expressions were fixed, and someone immediately said, "It's impossible."
"First, there are many PP users, and PP is just a product under Yuanfang, and they have many products.
There are also many users of them.
At present, there are not many mobile application software on the market, and a large part of the traffic source of several major operators is from distant user groups.
There is almost no such possibility to block traffic entrances in the distance, even if we pay a greater price.
Second, this method is not suitable for use. We can use it, and we can use it from afar.
Ultimately, it will not be us who are cheaper, but others, including several major operators.
Third, as for what Pony said, you are talking about large-scale subsidies for user traffic costs..."
The executive who spoke was helpless and said: "The traffic cost is very expensive nowadays, and 3G consumes more traffic. We have so many user groups. If we really need large-scale subsidies, we may have to burn billions of dollars in to force it."
Ma Huateng raised his eyebrows and said, "Are there so many?"
"Absolutely, there are not much traffic for packages now, and once we subsidize, users will increase their traffic applications here.
If tens of millions of users on the mobile phone have a subsidy of 10 yuan per person, then there will be 500 million or 600 million.
Moreover, this is still the month, and it is even more terrifying throughout the year.
Even if we have negotiated with the three major operators and reduce traffic costs, we will have to subsidize them for a year, and the 10 billion yuan will be burned out."
Ma Huateng frowned and said, "What do you think should you do?"
"The subsidy policy is actually OK. Now several major operators are promoting the 3G industry. They also hope that users will be converted into 3G users as soon as possible because they have invested a lot in it.
Companies are willing to make subsidies themselves, but they will not refuse to agree, so the plan is feasible.
To be continued...
