In the middle of 2012, Weituo passed this decision. Soon another wholly-owned company under Weituo Tuo was established. The team led by a man named Wang Xiaoming, which was a big player poached from Microsoft Research Institute.

No matter what concept they give, it is actually difficult for him to explain clearly when he truly penetrates into the technical field, but he must provide technical architecture support services for WeChat Pay and deconstruct and analyze the data collected by Toutiao.

Driven by problem, there is at least one direction.

There is not much attention from the outside world, but internally, Wen Xiaoguang has invested 800 million yuan in this regard, buying people, technical information, and equipment.

No one can guarantee that success is certain, it can only guarantee that Weituo has worked hard to become a respected company and is unwilling to be mediocre.

As a result, Weituo's entire group began to become larger, including WeChat business unit, Mobile Internet Investment Department, X business unit, Overseas Business Unit, and newly established subsidiary Weituoyun. In addition, there is also WeChat payment that does not belong to Weituo in law but has close ties.

At present, it has been solving online payment problems for affiliated companies such as Ele.me and Meituan. The rapid popularity of local life services in 2012 has also rapidly expanded the scale of the company, and a large amount of money transactions have led to a rapid increase in operating costs.

If you want to buy database services, servers, Oracle software, etc., Americans know how to use it. Anything you can't figure out is definitely expensive. Any small server will cost millions, but it won't work.

This is the financial industry rule. The numbers on the screen are not numbers, they are all money, and there is no problem at all.

Speaking of which, millions are nothing to Weituo, but WeChat Pay is different. A company always has to calculate costs and benefits, and Fuyuxuan's business does not have much profit.

From this perspective, moving hardware infrastructure to the "cloud" is not only a problem of Wen Xiaoguang's strategic vision, but also a problem of the company's internal logic.

Otherwise, what is the purpose of this company being busy all over the world? Will it give some profits to Americans?

In general, the company's expansion in 2012 exceeded expectations. Originally, it was only considered that the number of WeChat users was increasing, but the merger of overseas companies, the growth of WeChat Pay and the newly established Weituoyun have already made the company's employees exceed 15,000 in less than a year.

Considering the faster development of mobile Internet in the next 13 or 14 years, Wen Xiaoguang feels that there is one thing that needs to be done.

That is to build a headquarters for Weituo.

I bought the building I am currently in. I rented it at first, but later I didn’t want to move it anymore, so I simply bought it all, but now it’s not enough.

During these days, he has been living in the company for a long time to re-simplify the relationship between various departments and improve management efficiency, and secondly, he is determined to take the Micro-Tuoleading to the next level.

A new headquarters can swear to the outside world the success of micro-expanding and enhance the company's image.

This is not a spending money. According to Wen Xiaoguang's development ideas, Weituo will hold WeChat and start its own factory road to "app" so that there will be multiple products in the future, and it will be too late to build them. This is not something that will be decided today and will be done tomorrow.

“…The company is indeed much bigger than before.”

When Wen Xiaoguang expressed his thoughts, Li Wenbo also realized that the time was coming.

A new headquarters building located in a prosperous area allows companies to obtain more commercial information resources, because the bustling places of big cities often bring together people, logistics, wealth flows and business atmosphere from all directions. While increasing popularity and influence, it can also attract high-end talents.

Life is just a face. Working in a broken building is not the dream of people. The working environment is emphasized by many technology companies, Google and Apple are all so comfortable.

"Although I have also invested in some real estate, public and private must be distinguished." Wen Xiaoguang tapped the table with a pen, "The new headquarters still needs to be publicly tendered, and design is also very important."

"Where is the budget investment?" Li Wenbo asked crossing his legs.

Speaking of investing in Wen Xiaoguang, I feel that time needs to be taken more quickly.

Madan, house prices rose rapidly in 2012, and the land was getting more and more expensive, and it was the same every day.

Now that the property value alone will exceed the business growth that most companies have worked hard for several years.

"I don't have a concept of investment, I need to make an evaluation and prediction," but in his concept, "Since we are positioning as a new headquarters, we can't build it too stingy. We have built it like Tengxun for a few years and found it's smaller again, so we can only change it to a new headquarters."

Li Wenbo covered his mouth and smiled. Tengxun Building was completed in 2009, but it was 39 floors above the ground and 3 floors underground, which looked ugly like a spatula. What Wen Xiaoguang knew even more was that there was not enough place in just two years, so he had to invest again, so he moved again in 2017.

"Then you can seal the top, I can do it." Li Wenbo must pick up something.

Wen Xiaoguang looked up and thought, "I have asked other entrepreneurs about the headquarters. If we say that... we don't exceed 1.5 billion, I can sign it, provided that the design is satisfactory and it must have a sense of technology."

After financing, you will be rich.

Overseas companies invested 40 million US dollars, cloud computing reinvested 800 million yuan, and the new headquarters is another money-making monster. However, even the fraction of the B round was not spent. Next, they will continue to optimize their original business and add to the promotion of WeChat and Toutiao.

This summer of 2012, the most important promotion channel was to name China's Voice.

Wen Xiaoguang personally watched this matter. I remember that Jiaduobao spent 60 million to easily enter the streets and alleys, and thousands of households. This phenomenon-level variety show is the best place to place advertising.

It was still 60 million in 2012, but it rose to 200 million in 2013.

The amount of price increases proves everything.

China's Voice will premiere on July 13. Zhejiang Satellite TV has posted hero posts, and many companies have expressed their interest in sponsoring, but advertising is money.

How delicious is Jiaduobao? Zhejiang Satellite TV doesn’t care.

In terms of money, Weituo, which just raised more than 10 billion yuan, was somewhat dissatisfied with other competitors.

Wen Xiaoguang knew that the Good Voice made the Hong Kong company Jiaduobao make a lot of money, and its market share in the herbal tea has soared to 70%. Good guys, herbal tea, can there be such a big gap in taste between each other?

So this has to be done.

It is also an important promotional measure to allow WeChat and Toutiao to take off for the second time.

Several things have accumulated, but fortunately, Wen Xiaoguang is in charge of Beijin, and then works silently after being low-key. The company's business departments are in order. Advertising costs money and programmers should torture. Therefore, although there are many things, they are full of vitality.

In that case, if he spent more than one billion to build a building, the investors would have nothing to say, and they did not get the right to supervise finance from Wen Xiaoguang.

In such a busy life, gradually, Mr. Wen is in a small house, and his single life at home and company every day is deeply rooted in the concept of many people.

Slowly, Wen Xiaoguang waited for another business plan. Nowadays, those who want to make money by making an app are not going to find him.

The person who submitted this plan is called Beijin Xiaoju Technology.
