"Do you know the laws of the Dark Forest?"

Lu Heng chuckled and threw out this question, which made Li Xueling baffled, and he frowned almost instantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The Law of the Dark Forest?" Li Xueling muttered and asked, "What do you mean?"

This term is very unfamiliar in this period, but if it is put into the future generations, most people will react in a moment.

The law of the dark forest, derived from the law introduced by the famous science fiction writer Liu Cixin in "The Three-Body Problem II", is also an explanation of another physicist, Fermi's "Fermi paradox".

The first "Three-Body Problem" has been published in 06, but the second part was only published in May this year, and the influence has not yet spread, and there are very few people who know the law of this dark forest.

Although Lu Heng cannot be said to respect this law, he also has his own understanding.

"The so-called law of the dark forest is to say that the universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is a threat hunter, carefully hidden in the depths of the universe. If one civilized world discovers another civilized world, it will either be destroyed by shooting or destroyed, and a situation of peaceful coexistence will rarely be formed. This is the picture of cosmic civilization, once discovered, only one party can survive, or none of them can survive. ”

After briefly describing the meaning of the law of the dark forest, Lu Heng took a breath, and then began to explain his own understanding under Li Xueling's expectant gaze.

"What I think of as the e-commerce industry, and the business world as a whole, can be seen as a universe. And for example, your YY live broadcast, oh no, it should be our YY live broadcast now. Lu Heng chuckled lightly and continued: "For example, our company is the civilization in the universe, with huge potential, and anyone can become an amazing and terrifying behemoth in a long time. But there needs to be a chance here, a chance to stay out of the eyes until you're strong enough!"

Li Xueling listened attentively, and he also wanted to know what insights Lu Heng, who had just become his partner, could give. Or, he wants to know more, what is the basis for this young age to be able to talk and laugh with people of his age?

Lu Heng looked at Li Xueling with a smile and asked casually: "What do you think of the current YY compared to the powerful Tencent Empire?"

Rumble!

Almost instantly, Li Xueling's head was like a volcanic eruption, and there was a temporary roar.

Now it is only worth tens of millions of YY and tens of billions of dollars worth Tencent?

It can't be said that Haoyue and Firefly can no longer be said to be on a par with each other at all, Lu Heng suddenly put the two on the same table, and Li Xueling couldn't help but think about it, does he think that YY is possible to do the same thing as Tencent?

Lu Heng suddenly smiled, "Mr. Li, don't think too much, I'm not saying that YY's goal is Tencent, after all, we have to find our own positioning." ”

Li Xueling breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with a wry smile: "I thought you were going to say that our goal is to become a giant like Tencent, to be honest, I only thought about it in my dreams." After all, the cost of being a rival to it is too high. ”

"But he's our opponent!"

"Uh........." Li Xueling's voice seemed to be choked, and he looked at Lu Heng in disbelief.

Lu Heng shrugged, "What is YY doing? It's voice, it's live video, and maybe it will involve live broadcast on mobile phones in the future, other broadcast events, and so on." Think about it for yourself, what is the purpose of all this? It's not about the number of users, it's only more and more about the number of users, that's what we're pursuing, and it's a never-ending pursuit. If you think about it again, how did Tencent become the behemoth it is today? What does it rely on? It is not the terrifying user base that has been accumulated by the free chat tool QQ, but the user base that no one can match in China, no matter what games he launches, what novel products he has, he has guaranteed to be invincible. It can be said that if you want to defeat Tencent head-on, it is only possible to rely on a user base that exceeds him.

Unfortunately, but fortunately, all we do is to accumulate the number of users, so as to form a huge user base and grab huge profits in the future!"

Li Xueling looked at Lu Heng dumbfounded, his words still buzzing in his ears.

Originally, I just wanted to make a voice product that is convenient for Internet addicted teenagers to play games for good communication, and then expand to full entertainment live broadcast.

But how did it come to Lu Heng's point of view, and it became a competition with Tencent?

But he had to admit that Lu Heng had a little truth in what he said.

No, it's not that much truth anymore, but it really puts YY and Tencent on the same competitive stage.

Thinking of the law of the dark forest that Lu Heng had proposed earlier, although he was still a little ignorant at first, he now roughly understood what Lu Heng meant.

It is impossible for Tencent to watch a company that is robbing its user base grow, either by suppressing and destroying it, or by acquiring it and putting it in the bag.

When Lu Heng thought of this, his heart was also heavy.

He is different from Li Xueling, he is reborn and knows more about Tencent's attitude towards YY.

Just last year, Tencent stopped operating the Qtalk voice service, they felt that there was no future in this area, Sina UC's products were seriously stuck, and players and users complained frequently, and the game network was the most sticky to game users, so they thought of doing this piece.

Fortunately, it was well done, and it was warmly welcomed by players, who adopted YY voice one after another.

But the premise of all this is that if Tencent does not notice, no matter how low-key a company is, when it becomes a behemoth, it will eventually be noticed.

Just a year later, YY Voice, which had developed to a certain extent, was acquired by Tencent at a sky-high price.

Yes, the sky-high price is well deserved, Tencent offered $150 million in cash to buy the company, and then returned 40% of the founder's shares twice.

1.5 billion US dollars, that is more than 1 billion people's coins! It is more than 100 times the mere 1.2 million US dollars that Lu Heng has invested now.

And that's cash!

The most important thing is that Tencent is willing to give 40% of the shares to the founder Li Xueling immediately after the acquisition, that is to say, Tencent spent more than 1 billion yuan to acquire only 60% of the shares, just for a control.

But Li Xueling can rely on this money to become a billionaire in an instant!

The reason for this is self-evident, Tencent sensed the threat and wanted to buy it immediately and put it on its own territory.

Although Li Xueling later refused for some reason, Tencent did not stop the business in this area, QQ voice was launched, there was also QT voice in games, and even invested in Douyu live broadcast, Dragon Ball live broadcast, and even started its own Tencent video live broadcast.

Completely suspend the cooperation with YY, including the cooperation that has been signed, in the voice part, there is a simple example, a game called "League of Legends" that is popular all over the world, if you don't use the qt voice developed by Tencent, and use YY voice, then it's good, you can't get any activation codes and gift packages.

Everything is besieging YY live from all directions.

This is the current weak and incomparably weak product, which is not favored by everyone in the industry, and the dilemma that will be encountered in the future can almost be said to be nine deaths!

Li Xueling clenched his fists fiercely and looked at Lu Heng strugglingly.

"Lu Dong, you say, what should I do now? Since you have judged the situation, you must have your thoughts, right?"

Lu Heng smiled slightly, "That's why I want to intervene in your management after getting twenty-one percent of the shares, it's not that I'm a person who has a strong desire to control, but I don't want my investment to become someone else's spoils in the future." ”
