Chapter 354 Project Initiation

The shadow of the famous tree of man!

Su Wang, these two words, have recently become popular all over the Internet.

Although this is only a rising star, and may even be younger than many of the children here, no one in the room dares to ignore this name.

Happy Network and Fanfu.com, especially the latter, are still a thorn in the hearts of many Tencent executives, this is the only company that Tencent has developed to the present, and can survive in the face of their full efforts, and become bigger and bigger.

With the detailed introduction of Su Wang, the people of Tencent knew that the development process of Fanfu.com, the role of Su Wang is so huge, including the development of Kaixin.com, since then, everyone has remembered the name of Su Wang.

And now, Su Wang has created Meituan, and they Tencent have also invested in Dianping, and the two sides are fighting together again, and at present, Meituan is still suppressing Dianping, which makes Tencent's executives understand that there is no vanity under fame.

"This software was made by Su Wang, what does Su Wang want to do, his Meituan is not a stable winner, and he still has the energy to do something else. ”

"It's not a good thing for young people to be too confident. ”

When Zhang Dalong heard the comments of his colleagues, most of them felt that Su Wang's behavior was arrogant, and it was a taboo in business to enter another field before a company was stable and profitable.

This is the same as fighting on the march, the two armies have not yet decided the winner, and a group of troops is divided to engage the third army, and the result of dispersing the military strength and energy will only be the defeat of both sides.

However, Zhang Dalong didn't think so, he knew very well that Su Wang was definitely not arrogant, but after careful consideration, because a few months ago, Su Wang had made an appointment with him, but he couldn't make this matter public.

Although he rejected Su Wang, the workplace is the workplace, and once this kind of thing is said, I am afraid that Mr. Ma and many colleagues will be defensive of themselves, although they say that they have a clear conscience.

"Dalong, what is your suggestion?"

Ma Krypton looked at Zhang Dalong, Zhang Dalong was dug by him and was responsible for QQ mailbox, and Zhang Dalong did not live up to his expectations, QQ mailbox under the leadership of Zhang Dalong, its influence has gradually surpassed Yahoo and NetEase, so for Zhang Dalong, Ma Krypton is still very dependent.

"My suggestion is that we should also develop a similar product and not let WeChat take the lead. ”

"I don't think it's necessary. ”

When Zhang Dalong's voice fell, the person in charge of Tencent's QQ division interrupted Zhang Dalong's words and said: "We already have the instant messaging product QQ, so we don't need to be so troublesome at all, and isn't the mobile version of QQ also well developed? ”

"QQ is QQ, mobile instant messaging is mobile instant messaging, QQ still has its limitations, because QQ cannot replace the function of mobile phone calls and sending text messages. ”

"QQ can't, can WeChat do?"

The person in charge of QQ looked at Zhang Dalong with a slightly mocking gaze, in his opinion, Zhang Dalong is simply whimsical, even what they have not done in QQ for so many years, it is impossible for a new software to do it.

"QQ because of its own attributes,It is a PC product,Naturally, it can't replace the phone and SMS function on the mobile side,But WeChat is already doing it,You look at WeChat's function of reading contacts。 ”

Zhang Dalong pressed the button in his hand again, and the picture on the projector screen changed again, and what appeared was WeChat's function of adding contacts and friends.

"We QQ has this function, but the effect is not obvious, network software is network software in the end, many users are reluctant to introduce the real network and relationship circle into the network, they enjoy the virtual self on the network more. ”

The person in charge of QQ looked at the audience and continued to explain: "In fact, we have analyzed the user's behavior data and found that users still separate the network from reality, the network represents the virtual, and the reality is the reality. ”

"Suppose, if there are your leaders, teachers, and elders among your QQ friends, do you dare to talk casually at this time, and whether QQ Space is open to the public or not?"

"There is no way to solve these problems, and the function of reading the address book is useless, because the network itself carries the role of escapism for users in many cases, and forcibly canceling this role is a kind of death. ”

Listening to the words of the person in charge of the QQ Division, Zhang Dalong was not angry, because he knew that what the other party said was the truth.

"Mr. Chen, I agree with what you said, but it is precisely because I agree that I said that I want to create a new instant messaging APP, this APP is different from QQ's virtual network social, and the main function of this APP is to communicate with acquaintances. ”

"This ......"

Chen Qiao didn't know what to say for a while, but he found that what he said had fulfilled Zhang Dalong.

Of course, not allowing the creation of other APPs is not all out of the interests of his own department, but also his own true opinion, and now that Zhang Dalong said this, it is not good for him to continue to oppose it, otherwise it will give people a feeling of deliberate obstruction.

"Lao Liu, tell me what you think. Ma Krypton's eyes looked at a man in white shirt and glasses sitting not far away, and called out.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I think. ”

Liu Zhi nodded and stood up, and as he stood up, everyone's eyes on him fell on him, and one by one they also showed a serious listening expression.

Liu Zhi, although he was not a member of Tencent's original founding team, but none of the people present dared to ignore him, as one of Tencent's many vice presidents, this identity is not prominent, but the department controlled by Liu Zhi is one of the most important departments of Tencent.

Investment Department!

This is a new department set up by Tencent, because after the development of the Internet over the years, Tencent executives are also aware that there are too many Internet fields, and it is impossible to personally involve every field, but they cannot be ignored, so the best way is to invest in or acquire start-ups with potential in a certain field.

The Investment Department is responsible for this.

It is no exaggeration to say that all departments of Tencent work hard to do performance KPI assessment, and in the end they are all to send money to the investment department, so that the investment department has money to spend.

"What Dalong said makes sense, and what Chen Qiao said is not wrong, QQ is indeed not suitable for acquaintance communication, so in this case, it is okay to try to develop a software exclusive to acquaintance communication, and there should be no technical problems. ”

Liu Zhi's words made Zhang Dalong's face look happy, but before he could finish his happiness, Liu Zhi's next words made his smile stop abruptly.

"But there is only one problem in this, because acquaintance communication, will replace the text message and phone function, and this is tantamount to competing with operators, our domestic operators do not know the situation, for a software that does not know whether it can succeed, and whether it is worth it to fight with operators, this is what we need to consider. ”

Ma Krypton showed a thoughtful look on his face, and other executives also agreed, indeed, this software WeChat, which has only a few million users, is nothing now, and now what we have to consider is, if we really make such an app, how to deal with operators.

In the entire Internet industry, if there is a company that deals with operators the most, it is Tencent.

The reason is very simple,QQ this software is to some extent equivalent to the hands of the operator,Many young people do not call or send voice,Use QQ to chat with friends to send messages,When the operator first started,But there is no less stumbling。

Finally, now the operator has accepted the existence of QQ, and at this time, the acquaintance communication software is launched, and the operator is estimated to be thunderous.

"On this issue, I have conducted an investigation on WeChat, and found that WeChat also cooperates with connected operators, and Connected has launched a special calling card for the WeChat software, and the traffic consumed by using the WeChat software is free when you buy the calling card. ”

Since you want to make such a software, to understand the competitors, Zhang Dalong naturally did a detailed investigation, it is no exaggeration to say that in addition to the team members of WeChat, Zhang Dalong should be the most aware of the WeChat software.

"Will the connection be promised?"

The Tencent executives present showed puzzled expressions on their faces, this kind of celebrity grabbing behavior, did the connected management have a hole in their brains and would they agree? Or were the connected executives bought?

"That's the case", Zhang Dalong spread his hands and continued: "So I think we can also talk about the operator, he WeChat can cooperate with Connect, we can also cooperate with Connect, and even with Mobile Telecom, the latter is much larger than Connect." ”

Seeing Zhang Dalong's resolute attitude, the other managers stopped talking, and finally looked at Ma Krypten, whether the final project can be launched or not has to be decided by Mr. Ma.

"Da Long, if you are asked to develop such a project, how long will it take you?"

"A month and a half will do. Zhang Dalong replied confidently.

"Okay, then you'll be in charge of this project. ”

Ma Kryptonin has made a decision, he is not the kind of person whose mother-in-law and mother are hesitant, with the current size of the company, even if a project fails, it is nothing, and the company can bear this loss.

"Good. ”

Zhang Dalong did not shirk, he would put forward such a proposal at the meeting, and he was ready to be in charge of this project.

"As for the operator, there is no need to contact it now, and we will wait until we have a certain number of users to consider the next step. ”

Hearing Mr. Ma's words, Zhang Dalong knew that Mr. Ma didn't attach much importance to this project in his heart, and only agreed to set up the project out of taking care of his own face, but this also aroused his competitive spirit even more, and he must make a good product to prove that his vision is not wrong.
