Chapter 529: The Game Within a Game, All in the Dark (Two in One)

The news of Zhang Xiaolong's resignation was like an unexpected wind that soon blew through Tencent's management.

A week later, the rare snow finally stopped, and he had completed his resignation.

Liu Yun took the driver and personally went to the airport to greet the future >

In fact, Liu Yun has the idea of Youxin in his mind, which is to rely on Youyou's promotion channels to fully replicate WeChat in another time and space. If you have to tap the potential from the inside, Liu Shihua is a good choice.

If he is fully responsible for the U-Trust project team, he may not be able to achieve the > of his previous life

But at this point, Liu Yun hesitated.

Two reasons made him hesitate, and he made the decision to recruit Zhang Xiaolong.

First, even if the idea (idea) is Liu Yun's, it is Liu Shihua who implements it. In the company, some people know Liu Shihua's "ability", some people don't know, and some people worship not Liu Yun, but Liu Shihua, and feel that Liu Shihua has made Liu Yun.

It is necessary to prevent Liu Shihua from "shaking the master", and at the same time prevent Liu Shihua from losing the pillar of "self-reliance".

It's called balance. Liu Yun is to Youyou, just like the ancient emperor is to the entire court, no one wants a minister who leans towards the government and the opposition. What he needs is a balance.

This company, after all, can only have one core, and that is himself.

Second...... There is an idiom called "one eliminates the other".

Zhang Xiaolong stays in Penguin, and sooner or later he will be a strong opponent.

In his previous life, in terms of mobile phone instant messaging, Lei Jun's "Mi Chat" had already taken the lead, but in less than a year, he was defeated by Brother Xiaoma and Zhang Xiaolong.

In this world, if Zhang Xiaolong is not dug up, even if Liu Yun finds someone to develop Youxin in advance, even if Liu Yun has a powerful platform such as a security guard and a browser that can quickly promote Youxin, will he definitely be able to defeat Xiao Ma and Zhang Xiaolong, who have strong execution after reacting?

Hard!

When you think of QQ's huge user base, this is almost an unsolvable problem. To this end, he laid out countless innings.

Therefore, in order to make the road ahead a little easier, it is safer to dig Zhang Xiaolong over.

Digging Zhang Xiaolong can not only ensure the development of an "original" WeChat, but also hit the product quality of potential opponents.

Such a win-win-win thing, why not.

In the airport hall in Ningjiang, Liu Yun's hand and Zhang Xiaolong shook together.

His driver, at Liu Yun's request, also took a photo not far away.

He had a gut feeling that in a few years' time, this photograph would bear witness to a great era, and its significance and value would be immeasurable.

Liu Yun said with a smile: "Welcome Mr. Zhang to join the big family. ”

Zhang Xiaolong said frankly: "Actually, after the call that day, I knew that there would be this day, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly." ”

Liu Yun didn't ask the reason, but he guessed it in his heart.

"Mr. Zhang, I said that your talent and ability should not always be limited to the mailbox business. ”

He also understood that what really touched Zhang Xiaolong's heart was not how much the other party could get from Youyou, but this sentence that hit his heart.

Zhang Xiaolong, who is nearly 40 years old, needs to break through the bottleneck of his career, and changing jobs will be the biggest challenge in his life.

"Thank you Mr. Liu for your appreciation, and I also look forward to proving my ability in the business of Weibo, and I can also bring more benefits to Youyou. Zhang Xiaolong said with great interest.

Weibo?

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled indifferently: "Mr. Zhang, get in the car first and visit the office building." ”

Along the way, Zhang Xiaolong saw many pedestrians clearing the snow, and suddenly remembered that the snow disaster that swept most of China had just passed.

"In the years I was in Guangdong Province, I didn't see any snow. He looked out the window and suddenly said with some emotion.

"In terms of snow scenes, Hangzhou is better, and the famous broken bridge and remnant snow are famous all over the country. Liu Yun turned his head and smiled, "But Mr. Zhang, your place of work will be in Shanghai, and your identity is the shareholder representative of Youyou and the executive general manager of Weibo." ”

Zhang Xiaolong nodded seriously.

Liu Yun suddenly remembered that in another time and space, although Tencent's headquarters has always been in Shencheng, WeChat's headquarters has always been in Yangcheng, because Zhang Xiaolong himself prefers to live in Yangcheng.

Thinking of this, he continued: "Mr. Zhang, I have been planning to set up an office in Hangzhou, and there may be a brand new project, and I will transfer you to Hangzhou at that time. ”

Zhang Xiaolong is only thinking about making a career at the moment to prove that Brother Xiao Ma has lost his eyes. He didn't have much advice on whether to stay in Shanghai or Hangzhou.

He asked a little kindly, "Am I not in charge of Weibo, and there are other projects?"

Liu Yun was silent for a few seconds, and smiled: "Perhaps...... , maybe one day there will be a more important project than Weibo. ”

Zhang Xiaolong was slightly stunned, and nodded a little abruptly, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart: What would be a more important project than Weibo?

Liu Yun thought that Zhang Xiaolong in 2008 was not Zhang Xiaolong in 2010, and he directly proposed the concept of Youxin, which the other party might not be able to accept for a while.

In the span of three years, people's thoughts and concepts can sometimes be very different.

Regarding the birth of WeChat, there is such a rumor on the Internet: at the end of 2010, Zhang Xiaolong, who has always been silent, sent an email to Xiao Ma Ge, suggesting that Tencent make mobile social software. Zhang Xiaolong believes that the mobile Internet will have a new communication tool in the future, and this new communication tool is likely to pose a great threat to QQ. Brother Xiao Ma quickly replied to the email, agreeing with Zhang Xiaolong's idea, and asked him to lead Tencent's Yangcheng R&D department to start the project as the person in charge.

But now, the curtain of the mobile Internet has only opened a crack that is difficult to detect.

Both the IOS system and the Android system have just appeared in a simple beta version and have not yet been opened to the public.

Even if Yoyo wants to open up Yo-Us, there is no suitable operating system as a platform.

As for Nokia's Symbian system or the Indos Phone system for smartphones, it is because there is a lot of money and there is no place to burn, so I will go to this troubled water. He's not stupid, he doesn't even think about it.

"Mr. Zhang, I have some ideas in my head, and I will tell you in the company specifically. Liu Yun then added.

There are some things that can really only be said to the point, and you can't say them too clearly. Liu Yun believed that Zhang Xiaolong was eager to prove himself, and that he was not a spy sent by Penguin, but he still wouldn't easily say what he wanted about Youxin.

In his plan, Zhang Xiaolong needs to stay in the company for a while and become the old man of the company before revealing his thoughts bit by bit.

From another point of view, in the battlefield of Weibo, Tencent and Youyou are in a fair competition, but Youxin is not, discerning people, especially Internet elites like Zhang Xiaolong, who jumped out of Penguin, are likely to be able to see at a glance that Youxin's vision is incredibly compatible with QQ and the Tencent company behind it.

This kind of fit, in fact, is easy for penguins to achieve twice the result with half the effort in this area.

If Liu Yun fully revealed his ideas when they first met, what would Zhang Xiaolong think: maybe his enthusiasm would be thrown cold water in front of him. Because he will feel that under the huge pressure of QQ, the possibility of success is too small to develop Youxin.

Because once Youxin is launched, Tencent will definitely react as soon as possible, it will not allow another self to appear, this is a matter of life and death for the enterprise, and Tencent will definitely not agree. If you don't agree, Tencent will launch similar projects, and then use Tencent's huge resources to impact Youxin's living space.

So this matter has to be gradual, Liu Yun always keeps a clear head and understands how difficult it is for him to do something.

After arriving at the company, Liu Yun took Zhang Xiaolong to visit the office building briefly, and then came directly to his office.

"The office building is very nice and the working atmosphere is great, and it is easy and enjoyable to work in such an environment. After Zhang Xiaolong sat down, he slapped a sycophant quietly.

Liu Yun also seemed very enthusiastic, first gave the other party a cup of tea, and then gave himself a cup.

"An enterprising company should be like this, less intrigues, everyone twists into a rope, and works together towards the goal. He nodded slightly and said.

"Mr. Liu. Zhang Xiaolong looked at Liu Yun calmly and said, "Weibo has indeed had a very good start, especially with the news hotspot of this snow disaster, it has gathered popularity, and there are no similar products on the market, but ...... It's almost there, too. ”

Tencent Weibo will be released in the next year, Zhang Xiaolong knows this, and he believes that Liu Yun will not know.

Liu Yun smiled calmly: "So you need Mr. Zhang's strategizing even more, and you know Tencent better." ”

Zhang Xiaolong nodded seriously and said, "I will definitely do my best." ”

After a slight pause, he clenched his fists and continued: "Behind Weibo, there are also Sina's blogs and Baidu's Tieba to attract traffic. It can be said that Mr. Liu has laid a very good foundation for promoting Weibo. Under such good conditions, if I can't succeed yet, it will really live up to Liu Yun's expectations and become a huge stain on my career. ”

Liu Yun smiled with satisfaction: "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people." I trust Mr. Zhang's ability, and I am willing to hand over Weibo to you to take care of. ”

Zhang Xiaolong sat up straight and said seriously: "Thank you Mr. Liu for your trust." ”

For such an important project, the boss handed over the trust to a new management, and he was very touched by this trust.

Liu Yun seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "That's right, Mr. Zhang." I got the news that Google will release a new phone-based operating system in September this year, which is said to be called Android 1.0, the full name of Android in English. I'm very curious and want to go to the United States, so you can come with me then. ”

He tried to keep the sentence as plain as possible, not wanting people to see the slightest bit of unusualness.

Zhang Xiaolong was slightly stunned, but still nodded. I am also very concerned about the Internet information on the other side of the ocean, knowing that Apple and Google have released new mobile phone operating systems.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Liu, although today's operating system is the world of Nokia Symbian system, and the operating system of smart phones is monopolized by Microsoft, the future variables are still not small. Google is also a big company, and their Android system is worth paying attention to!"

Liu Yun glanced at him with some surprise, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaolong really deserves to be the father of WeChat in another time and space, and his vision is really unique.

Of course, the smart machine in his mouth, in Liu Yun's eyes at this moment, can only be regarded as a pseudo smart machine, and it is extremely inconvenient to operate.

And Google, which has just released the source code of the Android system, has just released the source code of the Android system, and such an insignificant move, which can't even be said to be a sign, will cause him to look at it differently.

After all, he is an Internet person living in China, and he is not in Silicon Valley, the world's IT mecca, and it is not easy to have such an understanding.

Nowadays, most people in the world will only submit to the hegemony of Nokia and Microsoft, and they feel that this situation will be difficult to change for a while.

Of course, there are also those who are quietly pushing for these changes, and those who are discerning have realized that the big changes are about to begin.

Liu Yun is also one of these few people, and he has the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

In Liu Yun's plan, Zhang Xiaolong will be thrown into the Weibo project team for most of the next half a year to confuse Tencent's attention, and he also wants to see what kind of achievements this guy can lead Weibo to

He understood that the penguin would definitely be staring at Zhang Xiaolong and Weibo's every move. After the year, Yoyo will start a direct confrontation with Tencent in the Weibo market.

Liu Yun also wants to use Weibo to observe how much threat and trouble Tencent, which is bundled with QQ, a BUG-level social software, can cause to himself, so that he can prepare for the next step.

"Mr. Liu, when will I leave for Shanghai?" Zhang Xiaolong was already eager to try at the moment.

"When you're done with the onboarding, you can go at any time. Tomorrow at the earliest" Liu Yun smiled indifferently and said.

"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow. Zhang Xiaolong didn't think about it, and quickly replied.

"Yes. Liu Yun nodded and said, "I will pass your letter of appointment to the company in Shanghai immediately." ”

This guy is very enthusiastic about his work, and he can't wait to prove his ability.

After Zhang Xiaolong left, Liu Yun stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at the ceiling for a while.

At this moment, he has expectations, unknowns, apprehensions, and all kinds of complex emotions in his heart. Because he quietly took another step that others could not see, even Tencent's side would be confused by his move, and even as the key party in the incident, Zhang Xiaolong was still ignorant of the real purpose of the boss.

He is gearing up to lead the Weibo project team to fight against the upcoming Tencent Weibo, and on the Penguin side, Brother Xiao Ma is also ambitiously preparing for the Weibo project, wanting to tell his former subordinates that your success is inseparable from the drainage of QQ.
