Chapter 463: Internationalization
"The upgrading of hardware will definitely bring about software innovation, I saw this change in the early days, starting from the underlying operating system, Windows will lose its position in the smart terminal, Android and iOS have been very obvious, so I take into account that some other PC classic software is also facing this problem. ”
"When we started doing social networking last year, we only considered the design of each interface for the characteristics of smartphones, and it happened that some unexpected events attracted Ma Huateng's attention, and also allowed us to get the first batch of users, which was a mistake. ”
......
Now it's a matter of a few words.
"It was thrilling. Lu Qin described: "The public relations teams on both sides have exerted their strength to eat milk, and it has attracted the attention of the whole people, and finally the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology came forward, and the Internet is noisy." Actually, I was watching ...... at the time."
Wen Xiaoguang raised his eyelids, "See if I'm lucky?"
"You can't deny that it was luck, can you?"
"It's luck. Wen Xiaoguang affirmed, "The Internet has come to this day, and the pattern of the three-point world has been decided, and I know that the concerns of your investors are that it is difficult for new forces to raise their heads." ”
Han Wei probably paid attention to it, and only heard some news sporadically, "I thought it was two companies competing with each other, but I didn't expect that a fourth pole of the Internet was born." And what's next?"
Lu Qin also wanted to know the answer to this question.
Wen Xiaoguang looked at the two of them, with confidence in his eyes.
"I've never told anyone that the second step of WeChat, the first step is that everyone knows that WeChat is currently building a platform that spans the entire mobile Internet, with us as the center and various start-ups to form a double-arrow structure. ”
He stretched out a finger, "On the one hand, WeChat is a diversion for takeaways, group buying, local life services, travel, map navigation, e-commerce, etc., on the other hand, through third-party companies to enrich the functions of WeChat and retain users. ”
Wen Xiaoguang only opened his mouth, and Han Wei was dumbfounded, what a huge and bold idea this is!
"Wait a minute, Mr. Wen, what is a taxi?"
"It's not that capital has invested in a company that does Uber in the United States, I think you are optimistic about this market. Lu Qin said seriously.
"As early as this year, at the latest next year, Internet taxi companies will definitely appear in China, this kind of thing to some extent we have more potential than the United States, the taxi industry impacted by emerging companies can still resist abroad, and I will scold two sentences in China, I will say so......
Wen Xiaoguang was sonorous and powerful, "Even if no one does it in the end, then I will do it myself!"
"Then why don't you do it yourself?" Han Wei asked, he didn't even understand a little, "This is also a potential direction?"
Wen Xiaoguang shook his head.
"WeChat has its own strategic determination, you can't see the money to open everything to do, the end of the goose factory is in front of us, we have made money, it should be boycotted by people, you can say that this is my pattern, you can also say that this is caused by competition. ”
Fundamentally, it's about leaving some roads for others to take, for more direct reasons...... Whether it is takeaway, local life services, or Internet taxis, they all burn money and burn a mess. If he takes everything, not only will he make enemies everywhere, but he will also likely end up forming a gold-swallowing beast that is high in the air and can't get down.
It's better to travel light.
And it's not necessary, the Tengxun strategy after the 3Q war is very successful, upholding the principle of openness, doing everything effortless and thankless, and living a comfortable life is not good, although it has withdrawn from many fields, but has it affected his status as an international Internet giant?
Lu Qin took a sip of coffee with a smile, looked at Han Wei, who opened his mouth slightly and was a little surprised, and said: "I'll just say, this is an interesting young man, right? Although there is no clear profit plan for the first step, as soon as this bubble blows, it will be the next ten years." ”
Investors also like to blow bubbles, and if they blow, his 200 million may become 2 billion or 20 billion, and how many people are rushing to take over. As long as the value increases, as for what value-added......
...... Damn, it doesn't matter what he adds value for.
Han Wei asked: "But can those companies that invest in really succeed?"
Lu Qin answered for him, "So Wen Xiaoguang's control over the companies he invests in...... That desire is stronger than our IDG, young to young, not soft at all. ”
"I will take a small whip and pull them forward, just like Mr. Lu brought me all the way to Xiangjiang. Wen Xiaoguang made a little joke, "It seems that we have given up these fields, but because we have a stake in this one and a stake in that one, the valuation of WeChat is actually rising together with the entire mobile Internet!"
This is of course the value of the company.
Yahoo can breathe a sigh of relief, just by holding Ahri Baba's shares.
"This company...... It's amazing. Han Wei shook his head and sighed, "At such an age, it is incredible to start building and implementing such a grand idea." ”
Looking back, it was a crucial step to build the name of Wen Xiaoguang's godfather of mobile Internet investment.
He went to various investors one by one, and now in 2011, because of WeChat's traffic entrance status, because of his willingness to invest...... The entrepreneur has stepped through his threshold.
Han Wei couldn't wait, "I want to hear about the second step." Talk about it, talk about it. ”
"The second step is actually inspired by what Lu Qin and I mentioned last night. It's about internationalization, it's about profitability. ”
The second wave of Internet companies in China, which is really promising and profitable, is ByteDance. relies on the head work Douyin, and the best internationalization is still Douyin, people say that the cultural promotion that has been worked hard for decades is not as good as a Douyin.
Wen Xiaoguang said: "At the beginning, I didn't really want to do socializing, because it was too difficult, and I wanted to make an entertainment product at that time, but I thought that whether it was entertainment or content, its source was the traffic entrance, so I went back to socialize." ”
Lu Qin paused, "What do you mean? This is a prequel?"
"So to speak. Internet companies still have to rely on advertising to make profits, Facebook and Google in the early years are like this, but WeChat itself cannot put a lot of advertising, can only develop entertainment products, and make money through advertising. ”
Han Wei can't even listen to it, so it's an international giant!
Facebook has so far relied on advertising.
In fact, many Internet companies don't make money, and if they don't burn too much, this is already very healthy, and Amazon has lost money for many years.
WhatsApp was sold for $19 billion, but how much money was on the company's account? more than $8 million-_-||. If such a large company buys three houses in Beijin, there is no money available for finance.
"In fact, entertainment also hides the ...... internationalization," Wen Xiaoguang's brows furrowed slightly, "When Lu Qin said that I don't think about internationalization, I thought about it......"
Essentially, he's been waiting for these things and wants to make some investments.
But! But! He patted his head!
"I really don't understand why you keep ignoring the markets of Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. Here too, there is a blank. Lu Qin said bluntly, he can only understand that it is the limited vision of the leader himself.
It's a fixed mindset!
In fact, the great success of LINE's emoji business is based on the payment habits of foreign users, and now since WeChat is also doing it, and it is under the habit of domestic users not paying, it is doing it hard and laboriously, in this case, why give up Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia?!
Is it because WeChat didn't go abroad in my previous life, and I won't leave either?!
It's stupid!
Wen Xiaoguang's heart suddenly fluctuated, "Mr. Han, Lu Qin said that you are a talent with an international vision?"
Han Wei modestly smiled: "I don't dare to say that, I just run from various countries, and I have been an executive in some foreign regions in multinational companies, so I can't say that I have an international vision." ”
"Don't be modest, Mr. Han, I think I need to think about internationalization. ”
In the previous life, WeChat also wanted to enter India, but it failed.
Lu Qin smiled slightly, he is really a father and a mother at the same time, no wonder, he has seen Wen Xiaoguang's growth background and educational background, and his foreign experience is almost 0, not only Xiangjiang, but he will have to find a place to play in the future.
......
Wen Xiaoguang himself has been checking, he is checking whether there is any information on the Internet.
The result is obviously, no. Hell hell if he can find out.
Because the official date of service of Line is June 23, 2011.
Two months to go,
The experienced WeChat team can not leave the scum of the nascent company!
But the murderer is not Wen Xiaoguang, but Lu Qin!
