Chapter 527: Changes After Weibo Mutual Closure (2-in-1)
Liu Yun, the founder of Yoyo, took the initiative to chat with him. A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Zhang Xiaolong's heart.
He has always regarded himself as a high-end elite of the Internet, regardless of whether others, including that little brother Ma recognizes it or not, at least that's what he thinks.
But when Liu Yun took the initiative to chat with him, excitement flashed in his heart.
The other party is a young rich man in the top ten on the Forbes list, and he is a popular figure in the Chinese Internet, he is willing to take the time to take the initiative to chat with you, which is very rare, at least the other party recognizes your value and ability.
In the past few days, Zhang Xiaolong's mood has been bad, and Brother Xiaoma's treatment of the game business and the email business is so distinctive, which makes him feel very depressed.
In many cases, those talented people can not only do it with money, but also want to be able to achieve their ambitions in life.
On the phone, Liu Yun highly praised QQ Mailbox, and said that this is the best email system he has ever used, with a simple interface and convenient operation, which has completely exploded Yahoo and NetEase Mail on the market.
Zhang Xiaolong is also an old fritter in the workplace, and he also understands in his heart that Liu Yun said this, and most of them are also talking. Although QQ Mail is excellent, it is far from being a standout.
But because the person who praised it was Liu Yun, not an ordinary executive on the Internet, he inevitably felt a little more excited in his heart.
Especially not long ago, because Brother Xiao Ma was not very concerned about the mailbox business, he just returned disappointed. Comparing before and after, his mood is more complicated.
"If Yoyo also enters the mailbox business, I believe there will be another strong player in the market. Zhang Xiaolong asked sideways.
But as soon as he said this, he felt a little bored.
In the mailbox business, he has been rolling around for several years, is it true that he is ready to drill into this horn for the rest of his life?
"I don't have much interest for the time being, I think even if Yoyo really does mailbox, it can't do Tencent, which is the same as making chat software and QQ. Liu Yun said with a smile.
After a slight pause, he continued: "I don't think with Mr. Zhang's talent, it is impossible to study the mailbox business for several years. ”
Maybe the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Zhang Xiaolong, who thinks highly of himself, never thinks that he should be immersed in the mailbox business for the rest of his life, and he is also looking for a breakthrough, but Xiao Ma may not think so.
There is a saying: The one who can appreciate your talent is always the boss of someone else's house.
Although people will always be taboo to talk about it, for Zhang Xiaolong, Liu Yun and Xiao Ma are both bosses of Internet companies, the difference is that one is the boss of his current workplace, and the other is not.
But in terms of friendship, he and Brother Xiao Ma are only bosses, and it is even more difficult to say that they will work together for a few years in the future.
Ali's old horse once summed up the reasons for employees' job hopping, which are nothing more than two: heart, wronged, and money, not in place.
For grassroots employees, they value income more, while for executives like Zhang Xiaolong, money is a factor, but whether personal value is recognized and realized is his primary consideration.
Therefore, the former considers whether the money is in place, while the latter considers whether the heart is wronged.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiaolong replied: "Mr. Liu, I don't think it's possible for me to do this all the time." ”
On the other end of the phone, Liu Yun pondered for a few seconds and said: "Mr. Zhang, there is such an unwritten rule in the workplace, and changing jobs is the best way to break through the bottleneck of your career. There is also an old saying that a tree dies, but a person lives. ”
This sentence inexplicably made Zhang Xiaolong's heart jump suddenly, although Liu Yun did not invite himself straight to the point, but the implication in the words was already obvious, he was inviting himself to go to Youyou, but it was not broken.
A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, this time to listen to the concert, meet Li Hao, and talk to Liu Yun, is it providence or coincidence?
Could it be that Mr. Liu, who is leisurely, has already set his sights on himself?
But these are no longer important, there are two choices in front of him, stay at Tencent, or change jobs to Youyou.
Liu Yun just said something that really pierced him in the depths of his heart: Changing jobs is the best way to break through the bottleneck of his career.
He also understands several of Yoyo's management.
Liu Shihua is a former senior engineer of Sohu, and Dong Rongjie is a former technical director of NetEase.
After they jumped to Yoyo, their careers have attracted a new peak, which is a living real-life example.
Zhang Xiaolong once stood in the deep city and looked at Ningjiang from afar, and he had envy in his heart.
Liu Yun did not directly name him: Xiaolong, come to my company.
He used a very tactful way, first generously praised the other party's ability, then analyzed the market potential of the mailbox business, and finally pointed out that with your talent, you will not stay in this area for too long.
Zhang Xiaolong is almost forty years old, and he doesn't want to spend all his time in the mailbox, but as long as Brother Xiao Ma doesn't say anything, he has to do it hard.
He's not a boss, just an average senior manager. What work is assigned, that's the boss's business.
Why can't Little Brother Ma see his ability and talent?
But Liu Yun can...... , after all, it is the boss of someone else's house.
The two continued to talk for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
From beginning to end, Liu Yun did not name him and hoped that he would change jobs to Youyou, and Zhang Xiaolong did not reveal that he wanted to leave Tencent.
But both of them are smart people, and they can read between the lines.
Zhang Xiaolong returned the phone to Li Hao, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Fellow, thank you." ”
Li Hao glanced at his expression quietly, and said secretly: This smile is not like pretending, it should be really happy.
At this moment, the concert has ended, and the audience has left.
Li Hao sat alone in the audience, looking at the back of this fellow who was 15 years older than him, and was a little puzzled.
Why did he, an old classmate, design such a bureau composed of countless seemingly coincidental events, just to poach a Tencent executive who looked ordinary?
With Yoyo's current status in the industry, it has actually passed the time of seeking talents.
This kind of inadvertent digging will not seem so deliberate, but the effect is often surprisingly good. Li Hao was curious that Liu Yun was so troublesome that he would dig up someone.
……
After Zhang Xiaolong returned to his residence, he turned on the computer, opened the Weibo page, and registered a verified account.
The bio is also very simple: the founder of QQ Mail.
This is an agreement between him and Liu Yun on the phone just now. At that time, Liu Yun very warmly invited him to open Weibo.
Generally speaking, verified accounts on Weibo require a period of review, at least 3 days. But Zhang Xiaolong's personal Weibo was reviewed very efficiently, and it was passed in only 30 minutes.
At that time, his first reaction was that Liu Yun had opened a special passage.
Soon, he received a private message from Liu Yun: Welcome Mr. Zhang to Weibo, I hope you like this product.
Liu Yun took the initiative to pay attention to his personal Weibo, and Zhang Xiaolong quickly reciprocated the favor and returned to the customs.
At this moment, there was a trace of emotion in his heart.
is not only Liu Yun's appreciation of him, but also an approachable attitude.
Just like the highest treatment of talents in ancient times, Corporal Lixian. He could feel the feeling, something he had never felt before.
"Weibo is a great product, and I want to experience it too. ”
Soon, Zhang Xiaolong replied to Liu Yun with a private message.
Weibo has only been online for a few days, but the number of users is increasing at an explosive rate. Nowadays, we are organizing a snow photo shoot activity, and it is going on vigorously.
Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but glance out the window, there was no snow in the deep city, even if he wanted to participate in this event, he could only give up.
He thinks Weibo is a great design, more convenient than blogging, and more socially interactive. A large number of celebrities continue to enter the station, which has also led to the continuous increase in the number of registered people on Weibo.
"I remember that our company also has a similar project team, which is also ready to be officially launched in the next year. Zhang Xiaolong suddenly thought of this.
This matter is not a secret among Tencent's top management. Whatever is popular, the penguin will use it to copy it, and everyone knows it.
Even if there is QQ to drain traffic, can it really be successful?
Tencent also has products that fail to imitate, such as learning from Baidu to engage in products similar to Tieba, but the result is a failure.
He has an intuition that the future Huaxia social system will be divided into two worlds: QQ and Weibo. In particular, Weibo also shares user data with Baidu's Tieba, which means that QQ will face the joint efforts of two strong enemies, but the situation is not optimistic.
Of course, in the instant messaging market, QQ is still a well-deserved hegemon, and no one can challenge it.
He played Weibo for a while, then turned off the computer and lay on the bed, still in a mood with a hint of excitement: I went to the concert today and didn't give away this ticket, which seems to be right.
……
Jiangnan Province, Ningjiang.
The night here is still windy and snowy, but Liu Yun's mood is sunny.
A few days ago, since Google officially released the Android 1.0 system, he knew that Youxin's plan should be on the agenda.
The point in time before his rebirth, in 2018.
Android and IOS systems have almost monopolized more than 99% of the market share of smartphone operating systems.
Another giant company, Microsoft's Indos Phone, has almost reached the point where it is difficult to move an inch and is unsustainable, and it may be abandoned by Microsoft at any time.
There is also a giant company, Huawei, which claims to have been preparing to develop its own independent operating system, but there has been no follow-up, at least at the time of Liu Yun's rebirth, he can't see the signs.
Since he is familiar with these inevitable historical events, he knows how to take advantage of this east wind to maximize his own interests.
Apple's side, you can delay it a little, after all, the arrogant Jobs may not pay attention to this rising star from the East, but Google's side is different, after all, the Android system itself is also open source, it is an open platform, and they are willing to maintain dialogue with other Internet companies.
"Zhang Xiaolong, he is not only responsible for the research and development of Youxin, but also needs to maintain a dialogue directly with the person in charge of Android. ”
This is Liu Yun's first step, he wants to take the initiative from the source.
In fact, Liu Yun at this moment is a little unsure of Zhang Xiaolong's mentality, and he doesn't know that he is very happy on Tencent's side.
So he directed this scene through Li Hao, and passed a phone call with the other party in this seemingly coincidental way.
What's more, today's days are snowing heavily and all planes are suspended, and it is unrealistic for him to really want to go to Shencheng.
But this time, through phone chats, Weibo exchanges, and mutual private messages, he knew that he had made a good start, and the other party wanted to change the environment, and he did have the idea of changing jobs, although he did not point it out directly.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Yuhan looked at Liu Yun's expression and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I got a key. Liu Yun turned around and smiled.
"What key?"
"A key that can pry the entire mobile Internet. ”
……
The next day, Zhang Xiaolong went to work in the company and received a notice that Brother Xiao Ma temporarily held a management meeting.
At the meeting, Brother Xiao Ma only emphasized one point, Weibo is menacing, and all management must play with the spirit of 12 points.
Some management mentioned: Yoyo has a lot of singer connections through online music, and they also have to give Yoyo face, so many people have opened personal Weibo. And these singers and actor friends, everyone is afraid of face, and in order to gather fans, they also opened their personal Weibo.
"We at Tencent don't have the resources in this area now, and even after developing Weibo, it is difficult to attract those stars in the entertainment industry. ”
Without well-known celebrities joining, there will be no influx of fans, and the situation faced by Tencent Weibo after its launch is actually very grim.
"It's too wise for Yoyo to engage in online music, opening up the network in the entertainment industry, and the annual investment is only about 100 million yuan. ”
Brother Xiao Ma squinted his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said, "I will solve this problem like a solution." The entertainment industry is so big, there are so many stars, it is impossible to be all swept away by Yoyo, our company's Weibo project team must also step up research and development, no matter from the interface, operability, entertainment, can not lose to them, and I promise to make additional investment. ”
He will not allow the throne of the social empire to be relinquished.
At the end of the meeting, Xiao Ma suddenly emphasized one point: all Tencent's senior management must not register a Weibo account, and after Tencent Weibo is launched, everyone must register an account.
Zhang Xiaolong was slightly stunned, and some management personnel were also surprised.
Brother Xiao Ma observed everyone's expressions, was a little annoyed, and said, "If you register, go and cancel it." I don't pursue it. ”
In front of each of these managers had a notebook, and in order to show their loyalty, they immediately logged in to Weibo and prepared to log out.
Weibo has a function, that is, it will push users from the same company or with more mutual friends to you.
Zhang Xiaolong just registered on Weibo last night, and he hasn't exchanged any other management in the company.
When other management members in the company logged in to Weibo, a friend push interface suddenly popped up, which happened to be Zhang Xiaolong's Weibo.
Someone curiously clicked into Zhang Xiaolong's Weibo, and suddenly let out an exclamation: Xiaolong, you actually shut up with Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu even left a message on your Weibo, which is amazing.
Zhang Xiaolong was stunned, and Brother Xiao Ma was also stunned.
