In mid-February, construction began after the New Year.

A piece of news was spread by the entire Internet circle in China.

That is, to become the overlord of the instant network communication industry!

Moreover, key data such as the number of online users, the number of daily active users, the average daily usage time, and the frequency of use surpass QQ.

And it is not a point or two that is surpassed, but several times!

It's kind of a scare guy.

During the Spring Festival, the face spectrum system joined forces, and the 10 billion red envelopes were held to celebrate the New Year, which shocked all peers at that time.

Everyone is also paying attention to what can be changed by throwing out the 10 billion yuan of Mr. Fei.

Now, the first big change has emerged.

That is, the penguin, which has occupied the leading position in the domestic timely network communication industry for several years, was picked out of the horse......

became the first victim.

............

In fact, Lao Ma's luck psychology at that time was also thought of by many peers.

That is, WeChat does have many people using it on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but how much can be left is the most critical question.

But everyone didn't expect that obviously WeChat Technology or Mr. Fei had already prepared for this problem.

Just a function of sending red envelopes to each other, leaving the vast majority of new users.

However, the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Maybe the average user thinks that there is just a red envelope function, and there is also a penguin side, isn't it?

There are still many QQ users who wonder why people's WeChat has launched the red envelope function, how lively it is to grab red envelopes and send red envelopes, why there is no movement on the penguin side!

But the industry understands that the penguin side doesn't want to, but can't do it!

The support behind this simple red envelope function is very complicated.

It requires a complete online financial system!

On WeChat, there is a brother unit called Facebook Mutual Finance Company.

Facebook Mutual Finance is now the largest Internet finance company in China, and its business scope covers online payment, online banking, and even business expansion such as online funds and online insurance.

What's on the penguin's side?

Nothing......

In addition to it, the online game that has just begun to make money - QQ Triumph!

However, online games play no role in this core business competition.

And the little money earned by Kaixuan, under the huge promotion cost of tens of billions of dollars, is even more of a cup of salary, which is not worth mentioning.

Therefore, it is impossible for the penguin side to launch the function of red envelopes at all, and there is no good way to deal with it in the face of WeChat's pressing step by step.

............

QQ's data fell sharply during the Chinese New Year, and this result was quickly fed back into the stock market.

Years later, after the official opening of the Xiangjiang Securities Market, Penguin Technology's stock price began to dive directly.

And it's not an ordinary kind of fall, but "the flying stream goes straight down to 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days"......

The stock price went down and never pulled back.

The market value of Penguin has also been cut in half from more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars to more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars......

Pony has also been held accountable by the company's shareholders.

Faced with this situation, Brother Xiao Ma couldn't say anything, so he could only carry everything silently by himself.

He also wants to open it, anyway, that's it, the competition can't compete with WeChat, what else can I do.

Although the position of the boss of instant network communication has been given up, it is okay to be the second one.

Anyway, QQ still has tens of millions of basic disks, and it's enough to attract traffic for online games, and the focus of the business in the future will be shifted to online games.

I don't want the company to develop much.

After all, when I founded Penguin a few years ago, I never thought that the company would have a market value of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

Now that I think about it, that's enough......

Although Brother Xiao Ma has planned to get rich and settle down, it is obvious that things will not develop according to his vision.

..................

On the morning of March 1, Heung Kong Knorr Holdings announced that it had acquired 16% of the shares of Penguin through the secondary market.

When the news was first released, many people in the Xiangjiang securities market did not pay attention at all.

The Penguin Company is dying, and who cares who buys it.

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, in the afternoon of the same day, Heung Kong Knorr Holdings Company announced again that it had acquired 40% of Penguin's shares through the primary market.

In other words, in one day, this Knorr company has completed the holding of Penguin Company!

At this time, an insider also revealed that the largest shareholder of Xiangjiang Jiale Holding Company is Yu Wenfei!

What was originally an inconspicuous small acquisition immediately set off an uproar.

Doesn't Yu Wenfei have WeChat technology, and the penguin's current half-dead situation is caused by Yu Wenfei......

Why, Yuwenfei still wants to buy penguins!

This is not only a problem that people in the securities market do not understand.

Even WeChat Technology didn't understand it, including the executives on Penguin's side.

Li Xin came to Yuwenfei's office in a daze, and asked, "Mr. Fei, did you buy the penguin?"

Yu Wenfei smiled and asked him to sit down, and replied, "To correct a point, it is the control of Penguin, and it is not completely bought." There is also a part of the shares held in the hands of the Penguin founding team, and there are several cornerstone investors who are reluctant to exit. ”

But obviously, Li Xin is not concerned about this.

He asked suspiciously: "Penguin and WeChat are exactly the same software, now that our WeChat has thrown the penguin away, don't care about them anymore, I estimate that it won't take three years, and the penguin will become history." Is it still necessary to acquire such a company?"

Yu Wenfei did not agree with Li Xin's opinion, he shook his head and said: "You go back and study it carefully, QQ and WeChat have never been real competitors! These two software, although they are both network instant messaging software, but in essence, there are still differences. ”

Seeing that Li Xin was still full of incomprehension, Yu Wenfei reminded him again: "Didn't you report a data to me two days ago, WeChat users, more than 70%, are used on mobile phones." More than 80% of QQ users use it on their computers, and that's the difference. ”

"But...... But aren't mobile phones going to completely replace computers in the future?"

People who do technology are more stubborn, and Li Xin still thinks that the acquisition of penguins is completely useless.

And those loyal users of QQ will inevitably switch to the "embrace" of WeChat in the future.

But Yu Wenfei just smiled and asked him:

"Why do you think that computers will be replaced by mobile phones?

The simplest example is that in the future, will you use your mobile phone to work in the company?

Computers will be replaced by mobile phones, that's the biggest lie!

At the beginning of the birth of WeChat, its gene was on the mobile terminal.

On the contrary, at the beginning of the birth of QQ, its gene was on the computer.

So, in fact, it is not a complete competitive relationship, but a complementary relationship!

After winning the penguin, our layout in the Internet industry can be regarded as truly completing the closed loop!"
