Now, the pace of time has come to mid-April 2007, and there are only three years left before Apple launched the iPhone 4 in 2010.

For the upcoming mobile Internet era, Liu Yun is gearing up, and he also has a trace of uneasiness and anxiety.

As a hanger, he understands that now is the time to plan ahead.

Tencent will officially launch this epoch-making heavyweight product in 2010, the year of research begins.

In another time and space, WeChat allowed Tencent to renew its life and became the most important cornerstone of the Penguin Empire, and in this time and space, Yoyo took the lead in snatching "Crossfire" and "Dungeons and Warriors", killing Penguin's game empire, but the other party may still rely on WeChat to make a complete turnaround.

This is Liu Yun's concern, and he knows that there is a natural fit with WeChat, just like Weibo and Sina Blog.

In the previous life, this kind of instant messaging software serving smart terminals was not small on the market, but only WeChat was really successful. In addition to Tencent's successful operation mode, of course, it is inseparable from QQ's huge user base that constantly logs in directly for the number, as well as the import of QQ friends.

This kind of social software is very money-burning in the early stage, and there are not many means to make a profit, unless it can be done like WeChat, monopolizing the entire instant messaging market on the mobile phone, which is why Liu Yun has always hesitated.

But now that an opportunity was in front of him, he decided to lay out three years in advance and try the possibility of this approach.

If you really want to enter the field of instant messaging in the era of smart phones, it makes no sense to burn some money and occupy a certain market share.

The instant messaging market is different from the blooming online game market, this field is like the Warring States period in Chinese history, no matter how many identical types of software are on the market at the beginning, the final result is only one, merger and devouring, survival of the fittest, and the only instant messaging software left to dominate the market.

Liu Yun also understands that in this field, it is very difficult to defeat Tencent, which has QQ, and many of these situations are not the relationship between you are willing to burn money, but the adhesion of the product and the usage habits of users.

So he wants to try to launch instant messaging software like WeChat in the future, which can be directly imported from YOYO voice users.

Since YOYO Voice and QQ have realized user sharing, the number of users in YOYO Voice will increase several times compared to now.

Liu Yun's advantage is that he can lay out the layout earlier than Tencent, and he can also launch this instant messaging software in advance, which is helpful for Yoyo to seize the market in a very short period of time.

When Tencent reacted, Yoyo had at least taken the lead and could accumulate tens of millions of users, and at that moment, what Liu Yun had to do was to mislead Tencent and try to confuse the other party's judgment, so that he could not realize the potential and value of this kind of instant messaging software.

He also understands that in the first year of Tencent's launch, he couldn't realize that this software could be upgraded to a giant in the future, and even replace QQ as a new phenomenal social software.

The difference in the degree of attention paid by both sides is also another advantage of Liu Yun.

At this time, Xiao Ma in 2007 didn't know that this was a pit, and he immediately remembered the plan between Yoyo and Sina not long ago to look forward to the future and win-win cooperation, and felt that this seemed to be a good way. Let's make the market bigger together to make more money.

"Mr. Liu, YOYO voice and QQ not only have no conflict in function, but also have a good complementary role, I think this suggestion is good, but ......" Brother Xiao Ma said this, paused slightly, and continued with a confident tone, "I admit that YOYO voice has monopolized the voice chat software market, but I believe that users who have registered for YOYO voice almost all have QQ, but users with QQ do not necessarily have YOYO voice." So this time the user sharing is Youyo taking advantage, Liu Yun, do you think that's the case. ”

Liu Yun scolded secretly, this stinky penguin climbed up the pole, but at the same time, he was secretly happy in his heart, this pit, they had already stepped into one foot, as long as they were pushing, they would jump down without hesitation.

"It seems that this is the case, if it is really cooperative, Yoyo will take a lot of advantage. Liu Yun smiled and continued, "I can't treat my partners badly, let me think about it?

Brother Xiao Ma hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Liu, if you don't give me the controlling stake and operation rights of Youyou Times, I promise to hand over dividends to you every year!"

Fuck off! However, with the domineering nature of penguins in the previous life, it is normal to make such a request. But standing in front of you is Yoyo, and now Tencent is a company of magnitude, shouldn't this kind of dialogue be based on equality?

"Mr. Ma, do you think such a request is appropriate? We are not the kind of small business with cats and dogs, which are plagiarized by you...... Oh, I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue! The small company that you imitated is helpless!" Liu Yun deliberately made his tone a little more impatient. He deliberately said something wrong to stimulate Brother Pony.

However, Brother Xiao Ma disapplaudedly helped the frame of the glasses, under the elegant appearance, he had the face of real gold that was not afraid of fire, he smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, don't be excited, then change the conditions." ”

Liu Yun thought for a while and said, "That's it, Mr. Ma." Today, the installed base of Yoyo Security Guard has reached 250 million, which is the same hegemon-level software as your company's QQ. All of Tencent's products, in the software management section, I will set aside a relatively good position, and provide free download. But your company can not develop products that conflict with Yoyo, we first tentatively set the browser, security guard, input method these three. ”

Brother Pony pondered for a moment and felt that this condition was acceptable. Of the three projects mentioned by Liu Yun, there is only one browser that he really plans to develop, and it is only under the guise of attracting traffic to his own products.

As for the input method and security guard, Xiao Ma Ge did not consider it for the time being. After all, today's Yoyo strength is much stronger than 360 and Sohu in the previous life, and Xiao Ma has no bottom in his heart, feeling that it is expensive and energy-consuming to blindly expand the product line and compete with Yoyo.

Next is the division of equity in Youyou Times, Liu Yun is only willing to give 29%, Zhou Hongyi's highest holding will reach 20%, and Youyou will maintain 51%.

Liu Yun said that Zhou Hongyi is only an angel investor, and if he encounters a suitable offer in the future, he will sell his shares, and Yoyo has the right of first refusal. At that time, half of the equity recovered from Lao Zhou's hands, half of each of Youyou and Tencent, and Tencent's highest shareholding ratio will also reach 39%.

There was still a trace of hesitation in Xiao Ma's heart, but Liu Yun's last sentence dispelled his doubts.

"In the future, once the profits of the Yoyo era are generated, the dividends of Tencent and Yoyo will be half each. Mr. Ma, I can guarantee that after 2009, Yoyo Times will start to make profits. ”

......

After reaching this agreement with Tencent, it has become possible for Yoyo to have its own instant messaging software in the era of mobile Internet.

Liu Yun has quietly named this brand new project Youxin.

This layout has quietly begun today, and in a few years, it will start a needle-to-needle competition with Tencent's WeChat.

As for what the final result will be, Liu Yun's mentality is very good.

I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life.

He and Xiao Ma reached a rough cooperation agreement, and the matter of Youxin was put aside for the time being, and now he is thinking about how to put pressure on NetEase through Tencent.

A few days later, a new icon appeared in the interface box of QQ, Yoyo Browser, and at the same time, in the first row of hao123 navigation pages, Tencent.com reappeared.

Attentive netizens quickly discovered these two changes, and also exclaimed that a cooperation agreement had been reached between Youyou and Tencent.

The installed base of the Yoyo browser, which had already stagnated, has once again skyrocketed, and the user traffic of Tencent.com has also begun to rise.

......

Zhou Hongyi felt that his time in Youyou had entered the countdown.

At a glance, he saw that today's Internet market is almost saturated, and almost every field is occupied by large companies like Youyou, Tencent.

His dream of starting a business, the dream of being a boss, seems to have become unattainable, at least in the short term, and it will be difficult to achieve it.

With the rapid expansion of leisurely, Lao Zhou occasionally flashed a thought, it would not be bad to stay here as a vice president.

This is also a very glamorous and face-saving position.

However, the young boss seemed to only want to hire him for two years, and there was not much intention of renewing the contract, which made him feel a little helpless.

Lao Zhou is still a little unclear, why Liu Yun only gave him a two-year contract, and was even willing to pay such a big price, with 5% of the equity of Youyou Times as a bargaining chip. Is it really just because of his ability and position in the Internet that he came to pressure Yoyo?

In fact, with the strength of Yoyo at that time, they were already barely among the first-line Internet companies, and they could rely on their own operations and drainage to promote the three projects of Yoyo Technology.

This thought bothered him for a long time, but Lao Zhou also understood that it was impossible for Liu Yun to tell him the true thoughts in his heart, and this answer might never be known.

Of course, there are ready-made cheap ones that are not picked up, and it is by no means his character. So he happily accepted the offer.

In the past six months, Lao Zhou's most proud masterpiece is to take revenge on his old club, Yahoo assistant 3721 through the platform of Yoyo Technology, of course, this rogue plug-in now belongs to Ali.

Now, he is gearing up, thinking about going one step further, and it would be better if he could fight Ali upside down.

Browsers, security guards, and antivirus software are the three major weapons in his hands, and I believe that they can give Ali a headache for filing.

However, when he was full of expectations, he didn't know that Liu Yun had already made a phone call with Lao Ma in private.

The two had a long talk in a friendly and frank atmosphere.

Although Lao Ma kept saying that he would invest 100 million to promote Yahoo Assistant 7321, he also understood that the reputation of this rogue plug-in among netizens was too bad, and he did not report too much hope in his heart.

Since Yoyo Security Guard officially listed the 3721 assistant as a rogue plugin, the market share of this software has been declining.

With the uniqueness and shrewdness of Lao Ma's vision, he immediately decided to give up this chicken rib software, so as not to backfire on Ali itself.

"Ali can no longer give this failed product a blood transfusion. ”

After Lao Ma made up his mind, he gave Liu Yun a reply, and then the two sides released their suspicions.

Perhaps in the eyes of these two bigwigs, such a small episode is not a matter at all.

In this small battle, Liu Yun won, and Yoyo Security Guard also took the opportunity to dominate the computer software butler market on the PC side.

He was also very atmospheric, and gave Lao Ma a step, Ali Wangwang's download link on Yoyo Security Guard, and directly exempted him from the fee for one year.

Seeing the release of the old suspicion between these two companies, there seem to be signs of re-cooperation.

Lao Zhou felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He initially thought Ali would be annoyed, and then shouted that he was going to have a fight with Yoyo.

Zhou Hongyi was only proud for a few days, and he felt that he was being pounced on by cold water.

What made him even more maddened was that in this settlement, Liu Yun completely bypassed him, the president of the subsidiary, and did not consult him at all for any advice, and it can even be said that Lao Zhou did not know at all.

And when Liu Yun and Lao Ma reached a settlement agreement, they directly threw this result to him, leaving only one sentence, "Implement it according to my requirements." ”

Then what am I? This is the question and dissatisfaction in Zhou Hongyi's heart.

At this moment, he finally began to realize that his status in Liu Yun's mind was far from being as high as he imagined, and he didn't even have the respect he deserved.

"You're the boss of Yoyo, that's right! But how can I be regarded as the president of Yoyo Technology, the nominal helmsman, any important decisions and strategies, let me know in advance, or even discuss my opinions, it is a matter of course. ”

"But this time, I charged forward and killed Ali's 3721 assistant to the point of losing his armor. But you didn't even have the least notice, and directly reconciled with Lao Ma, and then gave me orders to do what you asked. Could it be that Lao Zhou, I'm just an automated robot?"

Zhou Hongyi's fist slammed heavily on the table, making a "bang" sound.

He didn't know Liu Yun at this moment, and he also had a trace of dissatisfaction.

Liu Shihua is now the vice president of Youyou Technology, the technical director of the group, and Liu Yun's internal designation, after the expiration of Zhou Hongyi's contract, the first person to replace him.

Judging from the news he gave back, Zhou Hongyi obviously wanted to continue to expand the war with Ali, such as listing Taobao as a risky website on the grounds that there were too many fakes.

And Liu Yun's goal is only to eliminate the rogue plug-in of 3721 assistant and establish the hegemony of the computer software steward on the PC side, but it is only limited to this.

He understands that the balance of advance and retreat must be properly grasped and pointed, but he must not cross the line because of this. So he decisively made a phone call to Lao Ma, explained his intentions, and also divided the scope of the battlefield this time.

Liu Yun was dissatisfied that Lao Zhou was acting as a substitute for the company, and regarded Youyou Technology as a sharp weapon in his hands, leaving his confession behind.
