In the middle of 2012, Weituo still passed this decision, and soon another wholly-owned company of Weituo was established, led by a person named Wang Xiaoming, who was poached from Microsoft Research.

No matter what kind of ideas Wen Xiaoguang gives, it is actually difficult for him to say clearly when he really goes deep into the technical field, but he must provide technical architecture support services for WeChat Pay and deconstruct and analyze the collected data for Toutiao.

Problem-driven, at least one direction.

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

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

In this way, the whole group of Weituo began to become larger, WeChat Division, Mobile Internet Investment Department, X Division, Overseas Division, and the newly established subsidiary company Weituoyun, in addition to WeChat Pay, which is not legally part of MicroTuo, but is inextricably linked.

At present, it has been solving the problem of online payment for affiliated companies such as Ele.me and Meituan, and the rapid popularity of local life services in 2012 has caused the company to expand rapidly, and the large number of money transactions has caused the cost of operation to rise rapidly.

If you want to buy database services, buy servers, buy Oracle software, etc., Americans understand the urine nature, but if you can't get it, it will be expensive to death, and any small server is millions, but you can't use it.

This is the rule of finance, the numbers on the screen are not numbers, they are all money, and there is no mistake at all.

Speaking of which, a few million is nothing to Weituo, but WeChat payment is different, a company always has to calculate costs and benefits, and Fu Youxuan's business does not have much profit.

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

Otherwise, what is this company busy for, to make some profits to give to the Americans?

Overall, the company's expansion in 2012 exceeded expectations, originally due to the growing number of WeChat users, but the merger of overseas companies, the growth of WeChat Pay, and the newly established WeTuoyun have resulted in more than 15,000 employees in less than a year.

Considering the more rapid development of the 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 of its own for Micro Tuo.

The current building was bought, rented at first, and then I didn't want to move, so I simply bought it all, and now it is not enough.

During this period, he has been living in the company for a long time, one is to re-straighten out the relationship between various departments, improve management efficiency, and the other is to be determined to take the micro extension belt to a higher level.

A new headquarters can swear to the outside world the success of Micro Tuo and enhance the company's image.

This is not to spend money, according to Wen Xiaoguang's development ideas, Weituo will hold the road of the factory, so that there will be a number of its products in the future, and it is too late to cover it, and this is not a matter of deciding today and getting it done tomorrow.

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

When Wen Xiaoguang said his thoughts, Li Wenbo also realized that the time had come.

A new headquarters building located in a prosperous area is convenient for enterprises to obtain more business information resources, because the prosperous places of big cities often gather the flow of people, logistics, wealth and business atmosphere from all over the world, and at the same time enhance the visibility and influence, but also form an attraction to high-end talents.

People live with a face, working in a broken building, is not a dream for people to strive for, the working environment is emphasized by many technology companies, Google, Apple, that is comfortable to a point.

"Although I have also invested in some real estate, there is no distinction between public and private. Wen Xiaoguang tapped the table lightly with a pen, "The new headquarters still has to be open to bidding, and the design is also very important." ”

"What about the budget investment?" asked Li Wenbo with Erlang's legs crossed.

Speaking of investment, Wen Xiaoguang felt that time should be tightened.

Ma Dan, housing prices rose rapidly in 2012, and the land became more and more expensive, one day at a time.

Now that it has been built, the property appreciation alone will have to exceed the business growth that most companies have worked hard for several years in the future.

"Input, I don't have a concept, I need to make an evaluation and prediction," but in his concept, "since we are positioned as a new headquarters, we can't build too stingy, like Tengxun to build it for a few years and find that it is small, and we can only replace the new headquarters." ”

Li Wenbo covered his mouth and smiled, Tengxun Building was completed in 2009, but there are 39 floors above ground and 3 floors underground, which is as ugly as a spatula. Wen Xiaoguang knew better that there was not enough space in two years, so he could only reinvest, so he moved again in 2017.

"Then you can cap it, I'll do it. "Li Wenbo has to pick something out.

Wen Xiaoguang raised his head and thought about it, "I did ask about the headquarters of other entrepreneurs, what do we say...... No more than 1.5 billion, I can sign it, provided that the design is satisfactory and there is a sense of technology. ”

After financing, there is money.

Overseas companies injected 40 million US dollars, cloud computing reinvested 800 million, and the new headquarters is another gold-absorbing monster. However, after calculating that they have not even spent a fraction of the B round, they will continue to optimize their original business and add the promotion of WeChat and Toutiao.

In the summer of 2012, the most important promotion channel was the title of The Voice of China.

Wen Xiaoguang personally stared at this matter, thinking that Jia Duobao spent 60 million back then, so he let his name easily enter the streets and alleys and thousands of households, this phenomenal variety show is the best place to advertise.

In 2012, it was still 60 million, and in 2013, it rose to 200 million.

The magnitude of the price increase speaks for itself.

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

How delicious JDB is, Zhejiang Satellite TV doesn't care.

As for money, Weituo, which has just raised more than 10 billion yuan, is somewhat dissatisfied with other competitors.

Wen Xiaoguang knows that the good voice has made JDB, a Hong Kong company, make a lot of money, and its market share in herbal tea has soared to 70%.

So this has to be done.

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

Several things are piled up, but fortunately, Wen Xiaoguang is in charge of Beijin, and he works silently after a low profile, and the company's internal business departments are in good order, advertising should spend money, and programmers should be tortured, so although there are many things, Weituo is full of vitality.

In that case, investors would have nothing to say about him spending more than a billion yuan to build a building, and they didn't get the right to supervise finances from Wen Xiaoguang.

In such a busy situation, gradually, Mr. Wen lived a single life at home and in the company in a small house, which was deeply rooted in the concept of many people.

Slowly, Wen Xiaoguang waited for another business plan, who wants to make a fortune this year, who doesn't want to find him Wen Xiaoguang,

And the submission of this plan is called Beijin Xiaoju Technology.

Some people may not know much about this company, but it develops a product that many people know: Didi.
