Chapter 614: The Opportunity of Instant Messaging

Exam, exam, exam.

Zhou Buqi kept a low profile, going quietly and returning quietly. He didn't even have time to have lunch with Wu Yu. He was a bit busy at the end of the year.

In addition to security business, search business, and mobile phone business, Zhou Buqi also paid attention to a very important business - domain name business.

Ordinary domain name business, he doesn't care at all.

For example, several domain names sold in the United States were either given to the company free of charge, or given as bonuses to Senior Sister Zhen to help her have a better life there.

But this business is different, it’s very important!

Invitation from China Mobile, domain name.

Zhou Buqi was immediately shocked when he received this email.

Feeling that I had found a way to defeat QQ, I immediately called Cheng Zhenping and said excitedly: "China Mobile is going to build an instant messaging software. Did you know?"

Cheng Zhenping looked confused, "What?"

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi was speechless.

I had to half-guess, half-fool, and explain to him that the text version of the domain name should be "Fetion". As the name suggests, this should be a platform similar to SMS services. Considering the difficulties encountered by China Mobile in the past year, this project must be for

To make up for the losses of Monternet.

Cheng Zhenping was indeed a veteran in the SP field. He immediately reacted and slapped his thigh, "So that's it! Let me tell you, how could China Mobile be so kind to help QQ!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Monternet's QQ needs to deliver messages through SMS services. In order to attract users, China Mobile's policy in the past was a free trial for the first month, and payment began in the second month. However, starting last month, China Mobile canceled this policy

Affected by this, QQ’s revenue from Montnets has stopped falling and rebounded. It is said that the revenue it received from Montnets last month exceeded 70 million yuan, and it may be close to 100 million yuan this month. From this point of view, it is for its own products.

.”

"100 million? That much?"

Cheng Zhenping said: "QQ business is Monternet's largest business, with more than 23 million users. In addition to the more than 1 million mobile QQ users, most of them are Montnets users, with a monthly subscription of 5 yuan per person, plus some overspending.

The expenses are split 50-50... This fee alone can be divided into 50 million. Moreover, QQ has also added other 2.5g products such as WAP and ring tones, and the benefits have been significant."

Zhou Buqi nodded and asked: "By the way, isn't Yanbai on Monternet? Last time I looked at the report, it said that after a wave of recommendations, the number of users exceeded 1 million?"

Cheng Zhenping smiled and said: "That was all last week, and now the number of users has exceeded 4.5 million."

"So many?" Zhou Buqi was shocked and unbelievable, "Isn't this development speed too fast?"

Cheng Zhenping shook his head, "Yibai is a new product, and it will still enjoy the first month's free trial policy within half a year. It's the free period now, and there must be a lot of users. After the free period next month, the number of users will drop sharply.

"

"According to past statistics from Montnets, how many people can be retained in this situation?"

"About 70%."

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Buqi was shocked again.

What kind of god-level product can achieve this level of paid conversion rate?

When Cheng Zhenping saw that his boss didn't understand the rules, he coughed lightly and said, "There is actually an automatic subscription agreement. This month is a free trial, but as long as you try it, you have accepted the agreement. Unless the user sends a text message or calls

Call customer service and explain that you want to cancel the subscription to this service, otherwise the fee will be automatically deducted on the 1st of every month starting from the next month.”

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth, "With such a deep routine, is there really no problem? Aren't we talking about purifying the bad SP market now?"

Chen Zhenping said: "This is set by the operator and has nothing to do with the content provider."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Then let's not talk about this and continue talking about Fetion. This is a big deal!"

Cheng Zhenping nodded in agreement and said seriously: "I thought Monternet was helping QQ, but I didn't expect that it was using QQ as a test subject to cast stones for its own products. But it's normal. QQ has taken over Monternet.

Half of the network is not an exaggeration. With such a big piece of fat, China Mobile is definitely not willing to let other people’s saplings bloom and bear fruit on its own land, and will take a share of the pie.”

This is a normal business routine.

Take Apple's app store for example. Once an amazing new product appears, Apple can take advantage of it as the owner and turn it into its own product for the iPhone.

Zhou Buqi said: "No matter what, China Mobile has a huge business, and Monternet has kidnapped QQ. What MSN can't do, Fetion may really be able to do it."

Cheng Zhenping was slightly startled and asked tentatively: "Boss, you mean... you want to cooperate with China Mobile and participate in the development and subsequent operations of Fetion?"

Zhou Buqi said: "We also do social networking, and a national-level instant messaging software is very important. You have also seen the momentum of QQ. All Penguin's businesses are inseparable from QQ as the core. MSN cannot be counted on.

, Fetion might be our opportunity."

"Boss, what should I do?"

"Contact China Mobile and inquire first. Well, you can discuss it with He Yang later. If we can win this case, it will play a vital role in Ziweixing's future overall situation."

Cheng Zhenping took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Well, I understand."



Boss Ma was speechless.

The latest news is that Google China President Zhou Shaoning confirmed his resignation, which was confirmed by Google headquarters. He became even more concerned and went to Beijing three times in a row to meet with Zhou Shaoning, trying to persuade him to join Alibaba's camp and do express delivery.

In the past two years, he has dealt with many express delivery companies, and he even specifically supported a new express delivery company, YTO, through Taobao.

In order to express his gratitude, the boss of Yuantong also wanted to tie himself firmly to Ali's chariot and expressed his willingness to give Boss Ma 20% of the shares for free.

But Boss Ma didn't care about money and didn't like it at all, so he refused.

In his eyes, YTO is just a low-level, labor-intensive express delivery company with no technical content, which does not match Alibaba's grand strategy. It can cooperate in the short term, but it is not suitable for the long-term strategy.

But if you look at domestic express delivery companies, they are basically careless.

I have no choice but to cultivate it myself.

The target he was looking for was Zhou Shaoning, and he wanted him to go to Hangzhou, build a smart express delivery company with high technology content, and grow with Alibaba.

This is a big dream.

But I didn’t expect that the kid from Ziweixing would cut off my beard in advance!

Moreover, they have weaved a bigger dream, saying that they will build a mobile phone empire in the next era of wireless Internet!

"Damn! When it comes to deception, you Northeasterners are the best!"

For this reason, Boss Ma specially called Zhou Buqi out for a meal to complain.

Of course, the complaints are false. Such big businessmen will not just complain when they sit together for dinner. Boss Ma said that eBay has been defeated by Taobao. Next, it will be Taobao’s own battle with itself. Next year, the Taobao customer project will

It will be an important strategy for Alibaba, and we hope to further cooperate with Ziweixing.

Zhou Buqi declined, saying that Xiaonei.com only sells self-operated high-quality products. However, Weimi.com is the first Taobao website and can cooperate with Taobao to carry out certain business changes.

Weimi.com has been operating as a Taobao customer for half a year, and has facilitated more than 700,000 orders in total, with a total transaction volume of more than 24 million yuan. Weimi.com received a share of 4.6 million yuan, with a share ratio of nearly 20%.

There are also some hard and soft advertisements made by Weimi.com for Taobao. In the past six months, it has received 8 million from Taobao.

As Taobao gets better and better, next year, this amount will suddenly increase, and even the income of 30 million will not be able to stop it.

To be profitable, of course we need cooperation.

Boss Ma smiled and said: "If the school network is not good for group buying, how about the friends network?"

"Um?"

"The traffic of Friends Network is not low now. It must have more than 10 million daily active users, right?"

"No, maybe 8 million."

"Awesome! Almost as good as Taobao!"

"hehe!"

Zhou Buqi wanted to spray him in the face.

My heart says you are really capable of bragging!

Can Taobao's traffic be compared with that of Friends.com? Friends.com has 8 million daily active users, which is 8 million registered independent IP users. Each user is real. And most of these 8 million people are white-collar workers.

College students and civil servants are all mid-to-high-end users with certain Internet knowledge.

What is that 8 million traffic on Taobao?

Many people don't even have an account.

When browsing other websites, I clicked on an advertisement for no apparent reason and then jumped to the Taobao page. It would be good to have 30% effective users.

Boss Ma is neither impatient nor impatient, neither blushing nor embarrassed. There seems to be some kind of flowing light flowing in his eyes. He is quite charming and touching. He said with a smile: "Friends.com has such a large traffic, so just to earn some advertising fees,

What a shame."

"What do you want?"

“Why not open a Taobao channel on your friends’ website?”

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

Lao Ma is indeed Lao Ma, and he hit the nail on the head!

Advertising, e-commerce and games are the three major ways to monetize Internet traffic.

Boss Ma continued: "Alimama will be Ali's key development strategy next year, and we will develop it at all costs. You have also seen that Taobao's advertisements are overwhelming on the Internet. They are everywhere on major, medium and small websites, which have attracted the attention of netizens.

The boycott has had a very negative impact on Taobao’s brand.”

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Hey, you still know?"

Boss Ma said: "This is the God of Wealth... It is Sun Tongyu's idea. It is to compete with eBay for the market, so it has to be done. It won't happen in the future. eBay is finished. Taobao needs to change its marketing philosophy and change the inherent characteristics of netizens."

Ideas.”

"The marketing concept you are talking about is Taobao Business Alliance?"
