Liu Yun really can't remember how the penguins in his previous life leveled the mobile operator.

It is true that Zhang Xiaolong is the father of WeChat, but these higher-level matters should be handled by a chairman-level figure like Brother Xiaoma.

As a technical expert, Zhang Xiaolong will not think about it too much, such as the privacy of users who capture the mobile phone address book, and the profitability of Youxin.

What he needs to consider is technical issues, such as once the operator intervenes, resulting in intermittent information receiving and sending when users use Uxin, resulting in a bad experience.

He also had to clear up the relationship with his boss in advance, and if something really went wrong at that time, it was not his responsibility.

Liu Yun stood up and fell into thought.

If Uxin involves telecom operators, it is not something that Zhang Xiaolong can solve, and he needs to come forward himself.

"You don't have to worry about this for now!" After Liu Yun sat down again, he gave the final decision, "Now the top priority is to make the product of Youxin first, and we will see what happens on the operator's side while we go." ”

After all, there were many instant messaging software based on smart terminals in the previous life, and no one had encountered this problem, and Liu Yun also felt that this was not a big deal, and there should be a solution at that time.

It's just that today's Yoyo may be the first person to eat crabs.

He said with some confidence: "I only hope that you and your team, before January next year, come up with a product that satisfies me, has a temperament, is simple and delicate at the same time." ”

"That's fine. Zhang Xiaolong also patted his chest and promised, "Even if there will be a lot of imitators on the market, I can guarantee that Youxin can bring the best user experience." ”

Copycats?

Liu Yun looked at Zhang Xiaolong's departing back and was slightly stunned.

He suddenly realized a problem, it was not that he hyped up Youxin and QQ as two completely different and conflict-free social software, so he could sit back and relax.

When Tencent sees the huge potential of this area, it will definitely imitate it and replace it.

If you rush to the front, fight wits and courage with those telecom companies, and negotiate conditions, will you make a wedding dress for others?

Regardless of that, let's make this product first, and then take a step at a time. What's more, with the popularity of smartphones today, the number of registered users of Uxin will not be very large.

While he was closing his eyes and thinking, Liu Yun received a phone call.

The caller was Zhao Xudong, the CEO of the game company, and for some reason, a sense of disgust rose in his heart, as if he knew that the person on the other end of the phone must have brought bad news.

"Hey, Manager Zhao?" Liu Yun said lightly after answering the phone.

"Mr. Liu!" Zhao Xudong's tone was a little anxious, "I have to report something to you, about Tencent." ”

It's the penguin again......

He was thinking about letting Youxin jump out of Tencent's sight and get a period of rapid development, Weibo was a bait, and he didn't expect anything else for the time being.

At this moment, Liu Yun's heart was really a little reluctant to hear this name.

"In the second half of the year, Tencent launched two games, and now the response is good, and the market share is rising. ”

"I know that one is also a 3D masterpiece "Aion", and it is reasonable that it is sought after by players, as for the other ......"

At this point, Liu Yun suddenly stopped, because he really didn't have the heart to pay attention to another Tencent game, and he didn't think it would be a big deal.

Tencent's "Aion" has been too successful compared to the grand in its previous life, and even reached the popularity of "Miracle MU" that year, but it is far from enough to rely on these to fight against Youyou.

Zhao Xudong replied: "Mr. Liu, another game was developed by Tencent itself, and of course it also carried forward their consistent imitation style. ”

Liu Yun said disappreciably: "Who is this stinky penguin going to go, so that others have no way out." ”

After a moment of silence, Zhao Xudong said something that surprised Liu Yun: "Boss, it may be you!"

"Me?" Liu Yun was slightly stunned, and secretly said which tendon this kid was wrong.

Zhao Xudong ignored Liu Yun's thoughts and continued: "Mr. Liu, another game is called "QQ Fireline". Just by the name, you should know who it is imitating. It's hot, even more so than "Aion". This is bad news for us. ”

Liu Yun was silent for a moment, sometimes people's sixth sense is so sensitive, the feeling of irritability just now, really bad things will happen.

More than two years ago, when he felt inexplicably irritable, the famous "derailment door" incident of "World of Warcraft" broke out, and the actor was still an employee of the company, the cousin of his cousin Liu Yueru, and a relative on the other side of her. This incident caused Liu Yueru to resign directly from Yoyo.

Liu Yun asked directly: "Then our "Crossfire", there is a lot of player loss. ”

As long as he listens to the name, he knows which game QQ Fireline is imitating.

Zhao Xudong said calmly: "Yes, and there are a lot of players!"

Suddenly, a nameless anger grew from Liu Yun's heart, and he said loudly: "We are original, how can we lose to that copycat." Are those players blind?"

There is an unspeakable fear that only he can understand, but it surrounds him, like a shadow lingering, as he just quipped, to go other people's way, so that others have no way to go.

I didn't expect a game word to happen to me so quickly.

Zhao Xudong only said that the boss was very angry, and did not delve into the reason, and continued to ask: "Mr. Liu, there is one more thing that I must report." “

"You say!"

"Next month, in January 2009, Tencent will also release a game, QQ Warriors, and you should guess who he is imitating him. ”

Liu Yun laughed angrily, having an urge to smash the phone on the ground, but he still held back and said, "Then tell me, how should we deal with it?"

Zhao Xudong stiffened his head and said, "Mr. Liu, there is no solution for the time being!"

After hearing this, Liu Yun smiled: "Manager Zhao, now we are the king of the online game market, not the penguin." You told me I don't have a solution?"

"The reason for the incomprehension is the game itself. Zhao Xudong said calmly, "Mr. Liu, can I tell the truth." ”

"Say it. ”

"In my opinion, the production of these two Korean games is actually quite crude, and Tencent's game team is strong and good at learning from imitation. These two new games that imitate us are actually more refined and detailed, and they have been warmly welcomed by players. They don't care if it's a copycat or not, it's just fun. ”

Liu Yun listened to Zhao Xudong's words, and it seemed that a lightning bolt had split the fog in his mind.

Netizens like to call Korean games kimchi games, which are boring, time-consuming, and easy to imitate.

"Tencent has tasted the sweetness. Zhao Xudong continued, "'QQ Speed' and 'QQ Dance' have easily replaced 'Running Kart' and 'Audition', which has greatly boosted the penguin's confidence. ”

As long as they start the copycat machine, they will imitate one and kill an original.

They do whatever they want, and the imitators are helpless.

"A lot of Korean games are like this, it's much the same, the production cycle is short, and there is no long-term plan. The laws of the two countries are different, and it is not difficult for Tencent to get started. ”

Liu Yun thought that in his previous life, "Crossfire" and "Dungeons and Warriors" seemed to only be on fire in China, and the response in the rest of the region was lackluster.

This is inevitably inseparable from Tencent's excellent operational capabilities, and now Yoyo's operational capabilities are very close to Tencent's previous Tencent.

He also heard a rumor that Tencent's agency fee to DNF accounted for 40% of Jeju Island's revenue.

In South Korea, there are many large and small game companies, almost all of which rely on the Chinese market for their livelihood.

Now, the other party has launched newer and more sophisticated games, and there is a bug software QQ that drains traffic, like an unstoppable craze rushing towards us.

The situation Liu Yun faced was a bit passive.

"I see. You go and discuss a possible way to report back to me. Liu Yun still hung up the phone.

His mood was a little indescribably irritable, and he tried his best to contain Tencent, but it seemed that all this went around in a big circle and returned to the original track.

He tried to unrecognise the original history of the Chinese Internet, but Tencent seems to want to pull this process that has been deviated to the original track.

Today, Yoyo and Tencent are at an unprecedented and delicate point, working together to invest in the e-commerce market, but coveting each other's fields, gaming and socializing.

The ambitions of the two companies in 2008 have become clear.

......

On December 20, 2008, the temperature was getting cooler and cooler in the cold winter season, but it was a different scene for Shencheng, a southern special zone with all year round.

At this moment, Brother Xiaoma's mood is as bright as the sunny weather in front of him.

His right-hand man Zhang Zhidong leaned against the window and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, 2008 is a year when Tencent has made great strides." ”

After hearing this, Brother Xiao Ma put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "This year's Tencent is like last year's Youyou, and it is making great strides. ”

Zhang Zhidong replied: "I think the mood of Mr. Yoyo Liu now must be like the weather in Jiangnan Province, with heavy snowfall. ”

Brother Pony floated the frame slightly, recalled the various encounters when he met Liu Yun, and said: "In the most optimistic estimate, the today of "Running Kart" and "Audition" will become the tomorrow of "Crossfire" and "Dungeons and Warriors", but this is still not to the point of breaking the bones for Yoyo. ”

"Don't forget, Yoyo will launch "Swordsman Love III" next year, in the large-scale 3D online game, we have no advantage at all, and a mere "Aion" can't fight against Yoyo. ”

"Let's continue to imitate?" Zhang Zhidong said with a slight movement of his eyes.

"No!" Little Pony decisively rejects the proposal, and he also understands that there are things to do and things to do.

The more monolithic the game, the easier it is to imitate, especially in South Korea, because these proxy games have the problem of slow update speed, which is far less than domestic games.

Judging from past history, Tencent's imitation of those role-playing domestic online games is often not very successful. Brother Pony quietly set up a forbidden area for himself.

As for the epic online game "World of Warcraft", he also jumped over it with great interest. He understands that if he repeats his old tricks and launches a 3D version of "QQ Warcraft", in the words of the classic boss Illidan Furywind: You are killing yourself.

"Zhidong, you have to eat one bite at a time. Brother Pony continued lightly, "It's a long competition, and you may never be able to tell the winner. Yoyo is a formidable enemy, don't try to defeat them in one go. ”

"What are our goals for 2009?"

"In the game and Weibo market, you can compete with Yoyo. ”

"Mr. Ma, I think Tencent's steps can be a little bigger, the focus of Yoyo is shifting, they seem to attach great importance to the mobile phone, this is our opportunity. ”

Brother Xiao Ma hesitated for a while and said: "At this point, I admire Liu Yun very much, like the mobile phone industry, there are countless funds to be invested in the early stage, and Yoyo has smashed a lot of profits on it." If they are focused on running their existing business, it will be difficult for us to find a breakthrough. ”

Zhang Zhidong replied: "Since he is so obsessed with mobile phones, he will continue to study it, and we are happy to see such a situation." ”

After hearing this, Brother Xiao said with a smile: "Our business strategy is still based on the Internet, and gradually encroaching on Youyou's market share. I hope that Liu Yun's kid will continue to focus on the study of mobile phones. ”

In the last month of 2008, the world of the Internet was full of swords and swords.

Tencent has launched two imitation games, placing themselves on the cusp, netizens are crazy to criticize the pen, of course, most of them are the water army launched by Yoyo, thinking that their move is too blatant, but Yoyo's management has not responded so far.

Even Liu Yun, who has always liked to scare people in person, surprisingly quietly did not post any personal Weibo, which surprised many people.

At this moment, in the chairman's office.

"Scolding and scolding, but the heat is not reduced. Zhao Xudong smiled a little helplessly, "It can even be said that the more you scold, the hotter it gets." ”

"Of course I do. Liu Yun disagreed, "No one wants to see Yoyo dominate this market, so the management is happy to see a competitor like Tencent appear." If I get out of the game, it's just going to bring heat to the other side. ”

"Mr. Liu, this is the market report for the fourth quarter. Zhao Xudong walked up to Liu Yun and handed a document to the other party, "Yoyo's game market share has dropped to less than 50%. ”

After a little hesitation, he added: "At the beginning of the year, it was close to 70%, and this is all my responsibility." ”

As a manager, whether it is sincere or false, he has to give a statement.

Unexpectedly, this time Liu Yun did not show any signs of anger, and said lightly: "You go back to work first." ”

After Zhao Xudong left and closed the door of the office, Liu Yun directly tore the report into pieces with an expressionless face, threw it into the paper basket, and muttered to himself: This is really an unexpected blow.
