Chapter 551: Unhappy Breakup, Trip to Xiangjiang (Two in One)

Of course, Brother Xiao Ma knows that "QQ Speed" is very popular and very profitable.

This is their most successful and proud ...... to date. Copycat works have even surpassed the original.

Just like the penguin's purpose, which has not been explicitly stated, but also silently upheld: to go the way of others, so that others have no way to go.

But Liu Yun said it so openly, which made him feel a little weird. Brother Xiao Ma even felt that the other party's extraneous meaning was likely to point to Weibo.

"Mr. Liu, the Internet is an open platform. Xiao Ma said in a serious tone, "I know that the outside world has some criticism of me, and I understand this. With the identity and status of you and me, it makes no sense to dwell on these. ”

"It is human nature to learn from each other and refer to each other. For example, the games you independently developed also have the shadow of Warcraft and legends, such as Weibo, which is now popular, and the creativity also comes from foreign Twitter. He said indifferently, "Mr. Liu, we are all the same." ”

Liu Yun was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Mr. Ma always speaks, and his eloquence ability is not inferior to that of another Mr. Ma." It's true that our ideas come from Twitter, and your company's ideas come from you. Everyone borrows and borrows, and there is no difference. ”

After hearing this, Brother Xiao touched his chin a little helplessly, this stinky boy still didn't forget to step on himself.

"Mr. Liu, leave this matter aside for the time being. I'd like to talk about Weibo. ”

"If Mr. Ma wants to say anything, just say it directly. ”

Brother Xiao Ma glanced at the sky outside the window, paused slightly, and continued: "I think your company has spent so much financial and material resources to promote Weibo, thinking of using Weibo as a fulcrum to build a new social empire. ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently and replied: "The scope of social networking is quite wide, to be precise, it is to build a closed Internet ecosystem around a popular product. Baidu has a search engine, and all his business expansion revolves around this engine system, while Ali uses Taobao as the core to improve its peripherals. ”

When he said this, he took a sip of tea and continued: "There are not many opportunities left for Yoyo in this market, so I want to use Weibo as a breakthrough point." I don't want Yoyo to be reduced to a pure game company like NetEase. ”

Brother Xiao Ma didn't agree with what Liu Yun said, and immediately retorted: "You have almost monopolized the computer butler on the PC side!"

Liu Yun shook his head and replied, "Mr. Ma, you are exaggerating. These PC-based computer butler products have a very low degree of adhesion to users, but they are highly replaceable. ”

"What's the explanation?"

"Because they don't have a social component. To put it simply, if netizens uninstall these products, it is easy to find a replacement. ”

Brother Pony lowered his head slightly, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about the meaning of the other party's words.

Liu Yun continued: "This is different from QQ, whether it is antivirus software or security guard, it itself is static and cannot allow users to interact, so there is not much loss to uninstall it. Once a netizen gives up QQ, it means not only to change user habits, but also to give up a complete social circle. ”

"To be exact, if everyone around you uses QQ, you have to use it too, otherwise you won't be able to communicate, but Yoyo's antivirus software and security guards don't have such a strong inertia. ”

Brother Xiao Ma showed admiration and said, "Mr. Liu's analysis is very good. ”

Liu Yun blinked and asked, "Mr. Ma asked me here, I don't think it's just about talking about Weibo." ”

Brother Xiao Ma asked: "Mr. Liu, our two companies can get along amicably, but now we are a little tense for Weibo." What's more, not long ago, you also poached our company's executive, Zhang Xiaolong. ”

Liu Yun spread his hands and said, "Mr. Ma, this is not right. First of all, employees are independent individuals, not slaves of the company, and it is their personal freedom to stay or go. I think Zhang Xiaolong chose to come to Youyou, and it is not us who needs to reflect, but you Tencent. ”

Brother Xiao Ma was a little surprised, the guy in front of him spoke directly enough. He originally thought that Liu Yun would be more or less polite.

"Mr. Liu, I have only one real purpose for looking for you today, what is the market of Youyou and Tencent Weibo?" he said with a slight squint.

"Two points of the world?" Liu Yun didn't react for a while, and repeated the word in his mouth.

"Yes, Yoyo and Tencent are both big companies, there is no need to consume each other and shed too much blood in this business!"

"Mr. Ma, don't be funny. If we were to swap the positions of our two companies, would you agree to this request?"

"Of course I agreed, and this is a very sincere condition. To Liu Yun's surprise, this guy said this confidently.

This man is so thick-skinned that he opens his eyes and speaks nonsense.

"I'm stupid to believe your nonsense!" Liu Yun pouted and said.

Brother Xiao Ma continued: "Mr. Liu, there are facebooke and Twitter abroad, and the Weibo of our two companies can also coexist perfectly. ”

Liu Yun replied: "There is nothing to talk about here, I must gnaw on the Weibo market, even if the opponent is you." Mr. Ma, the two of you have a choice, one, give up resistance. 2. Continue to resist stubbornly. ”

Brother Pony confirmed again: "There is no room for negotiation at all?"

Liu Yun replied decisively: "No!"

Brother Xiao Ma said: "Mr. Liu, if I learn from you, I will also separate Tencent Weibo from the company, and then how about the financing of investors?"

Liu Yun started talking, looking at Brother Xiaoma's serious expression, a hint of surprise flashed through his heart.

It seems that the penguins in the previous life did not have this scene. Basically since 2004, Tencent's cash flow has been very abundant, and it has rarely raised money.

Their channels and platforms allow Tencent's products to always get the highest exposure, and the promotion effect is twice the result with half the effort.

There are pros and cons to financing or not financing.

What does it mean for Brother Xiao Ma to let go of his cruel words now? The strength of Youyou Weibo has made the other party feel a sense of crisis, and he is ready to raise funds in the form of financing, and be ready to fight a protracted war with Youyou.

Little Pony is ready to fight against the odds.

They will not tolerate Weibo challenging the social empire built by QQ.

In particular, Zhang Xiaolong played a hand that allowed third-party software developers to enter the platform.

The functionality of Weibo and QQ does not overlap much, but because they both belong to social software, if netizens spend more time surfing on Weibo, their enthusiasm for QQ will inevitably decrease.

That's all there is to man's time, and so much energy.

Liu Yun stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, what you can't get on the battlefield won't have results at the negotiation table." There is only one goal of Yoyo Weibo, to defeat or even eliminate all products of the same kind in the Huaxia market, leaving only one of us as a winner. I think the best outcome for your company is to give up Weibo and concentrate on QQ. ”

As soon as he said this, he said goodbye and left, but when he walked to the door, he turned his head and added: "Mr. Ma, the game market is very large, and I can leave a store market share for Tencent." For example, the download link of Penguin Games on Security Guard is still free. ”

After saying this, Liu Yun disappeared from Xiao Ma's sight.

However, Brother Xiao Ma sat quietly on the chair, stunned for a while, and kept replaying in his mind what Liu Yun said when he left: The game market is very large, and I can leave a store market share for Tencent.

After a while, he finally reacted and cursed secretly: This stinky boy's mouth is really vicious, even if he leaves, he doesn't forget to be yin again.

Tencent's share of the game market is all driven by himself and the team, bit by bit.

Even if netizens from the outside world always accuse themselves of plagiarism, if the plagiarized things do not exceed the original, will there be netizens who will buy it?

You must know that the Penguin game R&D team compares the copycat works with the original works every day, and analyzes which aspects to make some improvements and innovations, so that netizens can give up the original without hesitation and devote themselves to the copycat works.

Brother Xiao Ma said secretly: Plagiarism is also a profound technical job, is it easy for me?

After Liu Yun walked out of the door, he sat directly into a black car, and then took a light breath and said to himself: I still want to divide the market equally, and I want to be beautiful! Either you die or I die. Even if Tencent Weibo wants to defeat Youyou, it will make them pay a huge price, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

His thoughts on Weibo have not changed, and it is good to be successful, but if it fails in the end, it will also drag down Tencent's pace.

Liu Yun's goal is not to drink alcohol, but to use this project to consume all of Tencent's energy.

Therefore, in front of Brother Xiao Ma just now, he just acted in a scene, so that the other party was absolutely imperative.

Liu Yun closed his eyes slightly, and said secretly: He will definitely enter the pit, because Tencent has no better goal today, and the idea of WeChat can't even see a shadow, so they can only spend all their energy on Weibo.

If you look at it from the perspective of those professionals in this era, Weibo is very likely to establish a new social empire after QQ and compete with Tencent in this market.

Brother Xiao Ma and Tencent behind him have no way to retreat.

They have QQ, and they don't want to be a pure game company like NetEase, so they must go all out.

……

After Liu Yun and Brother Xiao Ma met, his next stop was Xiangjiang.

The trip to Xiangjiang is to pave the way for Yoyo Entertainment, which is about to become independent and ready to raise funds.

To be honest, although Liu Yun has grown a lot, excluding the "prophet", his theoretical level and specific business ability are far behind these investment banking elites and professional managers.

It's normal to have gaps, and you can always warn yourself to be vigilant and not to relax.

In the mainland, Liu Yun can rest assured that he only has Yang Zhicheng by his side.

But not in Xiangjiang. This realm looks very civilized, but in fact, there are a lot of wild roads, and it is not practical to take two people around without it. So Chen Yinan also followed.

This was Liu Yun's first time staying at the InterContinental Hotel in Xiangjiang, and he was really amazed.

The amazement happens the moment you walk into the lobby. With a space of nearly 30 meters high and a giant floor-to-ceiling glass window of nearly 270 degrees, the beautiful sea view of Victoria Harbour is perfectly presented in front of you.

At dusk.

Liu Yun walked out of the room, went down to the hotel lobby lounge, ordered a "Kowloon Club" cocktail, sat in the corner of the lounge, looking at the sea of Victoria Harbour reflected by the sunset, the beautiful scenery and fine wine complemented each other, and enjoyed a rare leisure.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Liu Yun held a red wine glass in his hand, leaned on the soft beauty couch in front of the window, comfortably enjoyed the gorgeous light show on the opposite bank, and deeply felt that this was life.

This is life......

He was a little intoxicated.

At 7 a.m. the next morning, the alarm clock rang on time.

Liu Yun started his morning jog along the harbor. With such beautiful scenery and environment, a morning jog is truly a treat.

Morning light, shade, veil......

In the morning breeze, it is almost forgotten that you are in the busiest neighborhood of Xiangjiang, and you feel like you are on vacation in Phuket.

Liu Yun returned to the room to change his clothes, went directly to the executive lounge on the second floor of the hotel, and also met Yang Zhicheng and Chen Yinan.

"It's your first time coming to Xiangjiang?" asked Liu Yun with a smile as he sandwiched his breakfast.

"For the first time. Yang Zhicheng replied.

"It's my first time too. Chen Yinan also answered.

In the eyes of many Chinese mainlanders in this era, Xiangjiang is still a tall and desirable place.

When they think of Xiangjiang, they think of it as an international metropolis and the world's financial center.

In Xiangjiang, there are many, many celebrities, and many, many rich people.

In their opinion, today's Xiangjiang is still more than one grade higher than Shanghai and Yanjing.

But Liu Yun looked at Xiangjiang and saw a hint of twilight. Its vitality is actually not as good as the deep city across the river. Ten years later, this is deeply felt.

"What was it like to stay for one night. Liu Yun continued to ask with a smile.

Yang Zhicheng thought for a while and replied: "Luxury, let people enjoy, linger." ”

Chen Yinan also thought for a while and replied: "In one sentence, this capitalism really has something worth learning. ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently and said, "Xiangjiang is indeed a good place. After that, he continued to pick up vegetables.

The Executive Club Lounge on the second floor of the InterContinental Hotel is one of the most popular venues in the hotel, and the reason why it is located on the second floor is because of the unrivaled sea views.

For an additional $900 per night, hotel guests can enjoy a separate buffet breakfast, afternoon tea, evening cocktails and more for the lounge.

Sunlight shone through the glass window on the small wooden round table where they were dining, and a few sprigs of fresh green were inserted into the crystal clear bottles on the table.

One of the green leaves with water droplets is illuminated by the sun, dyed a golden yellow, and reflects a dazzling light.

Liu Yun looked at these beautiful scenery, but he couldn't help but think: Yoyo Entertainment seems to be able to become a card in his hand, to slow down Tencent's pace, so that they can also burn a lot of money in this business.
