Chapter 643: A Shock of 100 Million a Day

"This worked, but we don't seem to have done anything yet. ”

Looking at the brilliant data obtained by WeChat in a day, Li Xin looked confused.

He looked up at Yu Wenfei, as if he wanted to hear something from Yu Wenfei.

Before WeChat was launched, Li Xin was still quite confident, and he also knew that with the support of the two major companies in the Facebook system, WeChat's performance would definitely not be bad.

But no matter how optimistic he was, he didn't expect to have such a result!

Li Xin is also a person who has worked at ICQ, and not only is he no stranger to online instant messaging software, on the contrary, he may understand the characteristics of such software better than most people.

Although he is very confident in the software he has built, he has never dared to expect such good results to be achieved online.

Because there are two big mountains in front of QQ and MSN!

In the field of online instant messaging, the advantage of the first mover is too great to be challenged by the latecomers.

Because the cost of transferring user relationships is too high, in general, users will not change their instant messaging software unless they are forced to do so.

But what happened today seems to break this pattern.

"No, it's far from being successful, and WeChat still has a long way to go. Yu Wenfei smiled and shook his head.

"It's only been 100 million users in one day, isn't this called success?" Li Xin's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

"You won't be confused about the difference between downloads and active downloads, right?" Yu Wenfei said lightly.

Li Xin scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, he naturally knew, download is download, use is use, he is just a little too excited.

In his opinion, with 100 million downloads and the excellent quality of WeChat itself, Li Xin is sure that he can retain users.

Therefore, with this 100 million downloads, there can be at least about 60 million active users......

Isn't that a success?

Yu Wenfei seemed to see his doubts, and patiently explained to him: "Don't be blinded by today's results, you must know that there are so many downloads today, which is caused by many factors." For example, the bonus of Facebook games, such as the bonus of my fan feelings, and so on.

However, after today, the number of downloads of WeChat will inevitably be much less, because the number of domestic netizens is about 300 million, and the number of computers is less than 300 million.

Coupled with the characteristics of our WeChat, it is destined that some people will choose to continue to use QQ instead of our WeChat.

In the next long period of time, we will show a stalemate and divide the market equally! Our user groups are working people, white-collar workers in the workplace, and some college and middle school students. The user group of QQ is a young age and low education group. ”

Yu Wenfei is very sober, he knows that no matter how bad the results of WeChat on the first day are, it is impossible to kill all competitors at once.

There has never been any single product that can monopolize all the market, not to mention that QQ has a fairly solid foundation.

The design style of WeChat is completely different from QQ's two routes.

On the PC side, WeChat does not make a lot of effort, and it is enough to be able to share the same color with QQ. Because WeChat is logically biased towards the mobile terminal from the low-level design logic of the product, but the era of the mobile terminal has not yet arrived.

WeChat's function is very "restrained"!

Anything that is not necessary for functions, but optional, is not allowed.

And QQ's functional design is very "greedy", and all the functions that can be added can be added!

As far as the QQ hierarchy is designed, it shows that QQ wants to "kill" users all the time, while WeChat cancels the hierarchy in order to "liberate" users' time.

Although these two products seem to be completely identical in terms of core functions, the design concept can be said to be the opposite of each other.

In the end, which product is more liked by users, it is really unclear for a while, and it may not be possible to get the answer until the arrival of the mobile Internet era.

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

On September 1st, the achievements made by WeChat, Facebook Music, and Facebook Video after their launch were also quickly known by several major shareholders of Facebook.

Xue Chunhe immediately reported to the headquarters the amazing achievements made by WeChat, it stands to reason that WeChat has nothing to do with their SoftBank, because the WeChat project has always been under the umbrella of Star Technology, and Star Technology, so far, is wholly owned by Yuwenfei.

Facebook music and Facebook video are the items that they should focus on at SoftBank.

But WeChat's "100 million a day" is too shocking, even if SoftBank has invested in half of the world's Internet industry, it has never seen such results.

In the report, Xue Chunhe basically spent all his time on the introduction of WeChat, and as for Facebook music and Facebook videos, they passed by.

Finally, Xue Chunhe made a summary of WeChat with extremely praising words.

"WeChat will quickly grow into the boss of China's Internet instant messaging industry! It may even go out of the mainland and into the world. Yu Wenfei's understanding of the Internet is beyond everyone's imagination, and what is even more exaggerated is that his marketing and publicity methods are simply incredible.

Mr. Sun, can you imagine that WeChat was launched, just made a banner on Facebook, and with a song by Yu Wenfei, it achieved an effect that other companies could not achieve with an investment of 100 million US dollars! I can say without hesitation that no one or any company in any industry that Yu Wenfei wants to enter is qualified to become his opponent, let alone defeat him!

QQ is not and is not, ICQ is still not! Because behind WeChat, there is Yu Wenfei!"

For his younger brother, Xue Chunhe simply admired him beyond measure.

Of course, all this comes from Yu Wenfei's series of successes.

After listening to Xue Chunhe's report, Sun Zhengyi was silent for a long time, until Xue Chunhe wondered if the phone was hung up, he said: "Send a copy of the specific data of WeChat, and also the data of Facebook music and Facebook video." ”

Xue Chunhe, the executive director of Facebook and the representative of the major shareholder, of course had the relevant data in hand, and immediately sent the data to the headquarters through encrypted email.

The next day, he received a notice from Sun Zhengyi's assistant that Mr. Sun was coming to the magic capital again, and asked him to make an appointment with Yu Wenfei!

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

"Mr. Sun is coming over, didn't he just come a while ago?" Yu Wenfei looked at his senior brother Xue Chunhe with a surprised face.

"Haha, I'm not here to celebrate you. The launch of WeChat can be said to have caused a sensation in the global Internet industry, and you may not know that now foreign Internet companies are studying your Facebook system, and I don't know how many big capitals are ready to move and want to send you money. Xue Chunhe laughed.

"But now that Facebook is not short of money, Facebook is preparing to go public, so why should we dilute the shares in the hands of our old shareholders. Yu Wenfei spread his hands and smiled.

At this point, Xue Chunhe must be on the same front as him, so he immediately agreed: "Mr. Fei's words are right! Not to mention that there is no shortage of money, even if there is a shortage of money, can't we, the old shareholders, take it out? Why do we have to introduce new shareholders." ”

The topic turned back to the listing of Facebook, during this period of time, the newly acquired Citibank took the lead, and Facebook began to make tedious preparations for listing.

Naturally, Citi was also given the qualification of the listed underwriter, which was also one of the additional conditions when they first became a shareholder.

Of course, Citi is familiar with this, and all preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner, and according to the plan, it will be able to go public smoothly around the Spring Festival.

Facebook will also be the first company in the Facebook family to go public.

After the last introduction of Citi, Facebook's shareholding structure has changed again.

The total share capital of the company now totals 110 million shares.

Yuwenfei is still the largest shareholder, holding 60 million shares.

Modu International Trust & Investment Company is the second largest shareholder, holding 19 million shares.

Citibank became the third largest shareholder, with 10 million shares.

SoftBank Capital retreated to fourth place with nine million shares.

Cai Congxin and Jiaotong University Venture Capital tied for fifth place, with one million shares each.

In addition, 10 million employee incentive shares have also been set aside, and the control of this part is also in the hands of Yuwen.

According to Facebook's shareholding structure, all the shares in Yuwenfei's hands are Class B shares, with ten voting rights per share.

All the other shareholders have Class A ordinary shares and only one vote per share.

This is also Yuwenfei's preparation in advance in order to prevent him from losing control of the company after the dilution of shares in the future. The shareholding structure on Facebook's side is the same.

Of course, at present, Yu Wenfei is still the largest controlling shareholder of all companies in the Facebook family, and no shareholder can shake his position.

In fact, other shareholders didn't think about what to do with Yu Wenfei at all, because everyone knew that the success of Facebook was entirely because of Yu Wenfei.

In the final analysis, Yuwenfei is the soul of the Facebook company and the biggest asset!

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

Son Zhengyi came over very low-key this time, after he arrived in the magic capital, he did not go to the company, but visited Yu Wenfei privately.

In the antique tea room, only Yu Wenfei and Sun Zhengyi sat opposite each other, and the tea master next to them skillfully helped the two of them make tea.

Picking up the small teacup, the curling fragrance of tea came to the face, and the two raised their glasses to salute, and then drank them all.

After putting down the teacup, Son Masayoshi let out a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "I heard Mr. Xue relay your definition of WeChat, it is really a great idea, amazing!"

Yu Wenfei waved his hand lightly and said: "That's just a vision, we will work in this direction, as for the result, let's see in the future." ”

"I have seriously considered Mr. Fei's plan for the entire Facebook system, and I found a problem, Mr. Fei wants to hear about it?" said Sun Zhengyi with a serious face.
