Chapter 340: Continue to Raise Money
Millet!
"Mr. Lei, I think we can also make such a software, compared with WeChat, we have our advantage, that is, we can rely on our own mobile phones to install and promote. ”
"In the Internet era, we can't do Tencent, but now will be a good opportunity, and this is the best time for us to enter the game. ”
Lei Jun listened to his suggestion, thought for a moment, and finally said: "Then let the project department set up the project, and the project will be launched in a month's time. ”
As a very successful boss in the Internet industry, Lei Jun's vision naturally does not need to be said, in his opinion, with the breakthrough of mobile technology, the future will inevitably become the Internet era into the mobile Internet, and this will be an opportunity for major Internet companies to reshuffle.
On the PC side, it can't shake Tencent's QQ status, but the mobile side is not, and now is also the best opportunity.
……
"Mr. Su, at present, the number of registered people has exceeded 1.5 million, and the number of downloads has increased by 500,000 on this day. ”
At the headquarters of the WeChat team, Li Feng happily reported the data to Su Wang, and after the comprehensive advertising, the number of downloads on this day caught up with the previous month, which is very terrifying.
However, Su Wang didn't feel much surprised by these data, because just now he had already gotten the data from halva technology, and last night's online broadcast volume of Running Man reached a terrifying 40 million, under this playback, and with physical advertising, if there were no 500,000 downloads, there would be a ghost.
This is an advertising effect, and I am afraid that the number of downloads will decline next, but in Su Wang's view, if it can be maintained to 100,000 per day, it will already be considered a success, after all, the current function of WeChat is not particularly strong.
"Mr. Su, when will we launch the second version?" asked Li Feng.
"When the second version will be released depends on when our competitors enter the game. ”
Su Wang replied meaningfully, launching a new version at this time can naturally attract more users, but it is also very easy to be imitated by competitors.
Many people may think that Su Wang thinks a little too much, who can't think of these functions of WeChat, nothing more than voice chat, send pictures, but in fact, this is from the perspective of everyone who has come over, and those who have done development know that a new product and new software, from project initiation to testing, every function must be repeatedly scrutinized, including the design of the interface, the location of the menu.
If a new version is released now, competitors will just take it and copy it.
Of course, it doesn't mean that if a competitor doesn't enter the game, he will never update the version, Su Wang's plan is to update the version every two months, and if a competitor enters the game, then update the version according to the opponent's software.
"I understand, the other thing is about the server, whether to buy the equipment yourself or rent, for now, the rental is completely enough. ”
"Buy. ”
Su Wang made a decision without hesitation, he has a lot of confidence in WeChat, and he also knows that for this instant messaging software, the server is very important, if the user experience is not good, users will be easily lost.
In the previous life, Mi Chat actually didn't have the power to fight with WeChat, but why did they lose in the end, first, because they didn't have the technical reserves for instant messaging, and after they went online in a hurry, there were often problems with the software.
The server has been down for several days, messages can't be sent, picture cards are sent, voice messages are lost, and users are collectively disconnected.
These problems have led to a large loss of users of Mi Talk, so Su Wang does not allow the problems encountered by Mi Talk to appear on his own WeChat software, and it is the best way to choose to buy a server and then manage it himself.
"In addition, regarding data storage, Mr. Su, is it really necessary for us to build such a data storage center, the cost is not small, and the most important thing is that it is not very useful at present. ”
"It's not very useful now, it doesn't mean that it won't be in the future, the user's data must be stored, in case one day the user wants to find the information, but in the end they find that they can't find it, which will make the user's impression of our software worse. ”
Regarding the user's chat information storage, Su Wang knew that there was a paid save behind QQ, and WeChat could do the same, but Su Wang felt that it was not necessary, because it was actually a chat software, but WeChat was positioned as a social software.
A national-level social software, then it has to be all free, all functions will not be charged, unless it is a third-party development function, if the user wants to use it, the payment belongs to the user's own behavior.
"As for the data storage center, I have already chosen the address, and the construction will start soon, and it is expected to be fully completed next year, but it will be ready for use by the end of this year. ”
Regarding the address of the data storage center, Su Wang has signed an agreement with the hometown government, which will provide land for free to build a data center, of course, not just a data center, according to what Chen leader told Su Wang, his hometown wants to build a national Internet high-tech industrial park.
After chatting about WeChat, Su Wang did not rest there, and then came to Meituan, although Meituan is now a leader in domestic group buying websites, and because of the merger of Ele.me, it has developed a takeaway market, but in the end it is not yet a hegemon.
The tragedy of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments is not there, but the battle between Meituan, Koubei and Dianping is still continuing, and the three parties are still in a fierce battle.
"Mr. Su, at present, there are only 500 million funds left in our account, and according to the current level of money burning, I am afraid that the support will be less than five months. ”
Meituan's general manager's office, Zhang Xuhao had a wry smile on his face, burning more than 100 million yuan a month, this kind of money-burning speed even he felt his heart beat faster, after all, this is not an entity, this is just the Internet industry, once it fails, it is equivalent to a loss of all this money.
The real economy burns money and loses money, at least there will be some real estate, but when the Internet company goes bankrupt, there will be only these computers left, which are not worth a million combined.
"Keep burning, if the money is not enough, I'll find a way. ”
It is inevitable that Meituan will burn money here, Su Wang has already counted it in his heart, according to his estimates, if this battle is to end, at least 500 million will have to be burned.
If word-of-mouth and public reviews are also willing to do so, they may have to burn more.
Thinking of this, Su Wang made a phone call to go out, sometimes, financing is also a good thing, because you can find more contacts and circles through financing.
