Chapter 150: Surrender
Ma Huateng's carefully prepared reception banquet has ended, and the banquet without drinking will end much earlier than the banquet with drinking. After all, as soon as you drink, it will take a long time to toast and persuade you to drink or something.
As soon as the three of them had eaten well, Ma Huateng asked Ying Hao: "Mr. Ying, can you tell me why you want to invest in Xunteng?"
Ying Hao replied without hesitation: "It's very simple, optimistic about Xunteng." ”
"What do you like about Xunteng?" Ma Huateng then asked.
For Ying Hao's shareholding in Xunteng, Ma Huateng is unwilling.
Ma Huateng's original intention was for Duan Huang to invest in Xunteng alone, so that all the company's affairs would basically be decided by him.
With Duan Huang's identity, it is impossible to have time to manage Xunteng all the time.
In this way, Ma Huateng can get rid of those shareholders who do not know how to pretend to understand and have been influencing the company's operations.
Who knew that Duan Huang had brought Ying Hao in, even if he had already seen Ying Hao's information from Duan Huang in advance, Ma Huateng still wanted to see what kind of person Ying Hao was.
During the day's contact, Ying Hao was not able to leave a good impression on Ma Huateng.
Ma Huateng chatted with Ying Hao at this time, just to see if Ying Hao was capable. If Ying Hao can't show enough ability to convince him, Ma Huateng can only accept Ying Hao's shareholding in Xunteng at most, but he can't accept Ying Hao's voting rights in Xunteng.
Because, with the right to vote, no matter how much, it means that Ying Hao can have a certain impact on the company.
That's not a good thing for him.
For Ma Huateng's question, Ying Hao already had the answer in his heart, and he also realized that Ma Huateng was testing him.
I saw a confident smile on Ying Hao's face: "It's very simple, instant software is an emerging Internet industry." There is already a mature market abroad, but the domestic market is not yet mature. Xunteng is the first person to eat crabs in China, so he will naturally be ahead of the starting line. ”
"As long as there are sufficient funds, the leaders do not make stupid moves, and making money is an inevitable result. Now that the domestic Internet industry has begun to rise, and the Internet has gradually entered the homes of ordinary people in China, popularization will not be a distant thing. ”
"Compared to the high roaming charges of mobile phones, instant messaging will be a breakthrough. With the official prosperity of the Internet in China, instant messaging will not be a luxury in people's lives. At that time, Xunteng, who has a large number of users, will not be able to enter if he wants to. ”
As Ying Hao said it sentence by sentence, Ma Huateng also nodded secretly in his heart.
When Ying Hao stopped, Ma Huateng continued to ask: "According to what Ying said, shouldn't ICQ be the best choice?"
Ying Hao smiled: "At present, ICQ is indeed the best choice, and even MSN is much better than Xunteng." However, they have one thing in common, that is, they are all foreign companies. ”
"Instant messaging software is destined to become the norm. If the domestic market is all occupied by ICQ and MSN at that time, it will not be a good thing for the country. ”
"In terms of science and technology, our country has suffered too many losses from foreign countries. A lot of technology is controlled by foreign companies, and then they can make our country's money unscrupulously. For an industry like instant messaging software, which has not yet been completely monopolized, if we have local companies in China that can compete with foreign companies, I believe the state will be willing to support it. ”
"Oh?" Ma Huateng looked at Ying Hao in surprise, and then asked: "Mr. Ying, you are wrong, don't you know that Xunteng has not received any state support so far? Even banks are unwilling to lend to Xunteng. ”
Ying Hao smiled and shook his head: "It's not that the state doesn't support it, and it's not that the bank is unwilling, but that neither the country nor the bank sees Xunteng worthy of their action." However, when our share transfer agreement is signed tomorrow, I think state support should come. ”
"The reason is very simple, Xunteng is an emerging technology industry, and it is within the national key support projects. Xunteng has been losing money before, but now it has turned a profit and achieved a profit. In this case, the state is naturally willing to support Xunteng to compete with ICQ and MSN. ”
"And with Brother Duan here, it shouldn't be difficult to seek some support. As long as Xunteng itself is hard enough, there will basically be no situation where there is no bank loan in the future. ”
"In other words, I don't think Xunteng will need to borrow from the bank at all in the future. Because, Xunteng's profitability will shock the whole world!"
Ying Hao's big words came out, which directly made Ma Huateng overturn Ying Hao's impression in the afternoon.
Because, Ying Hao said so much, it is obvious that Ying Hao has studied this part.
At least, Ying Hao knows which mainstream instant messaging software there are, and he has a thorough understanding of some external factors, not the kind of person who doesn't understand anything.
In addition, according to the meaning of Ying Hao's words, it seems that Ying Hao even has a certain amount of research on Xunteng's next development direction.
"Mr. Ying, what you said makes sense. However, I'm curious where you started when you finally said that Xunteng's profitability would shock the whole world. To be honest, Xunteng turned a profit last year, but the profit is like that, and I am still worried about the profitable project. Ma Huateng put on an open face and asked Ying Hao.
Ma Huateng asked this question, and it was right in Ying Hao's arms.
Ying Hao was still thinking about how to remind Ma Huateng of Xunteng's next development route, so Ma Huateng took the initiative to ask, which was simply God's cooperation.
Just as Ma Huateng didn't want Ying Hao to meddle in Xunteng's affairs, Ying Hao didn't want to care about Xunteng's affairs. Ying Hao only needs Xunteng to make money for him, and nothing else matters.
After all, Xunteng is destined to be an industry that he can control in the future, and the biggest benefit of investing in shares is only to make money.
Ying Hao pretended to think, and only after a few minutes did he speak: "Mr. Ma, Xunteng's foundation for making money now is actually already there. It's just that, in my eyes, what we need to do most now is not to make a profit, but to take down the opponent first. ”
"For example, ICQ, ICQ's profitability is mainly based on advertising. It can even be said that the user experience of ICQ has been scattered by advertising. We can grab users with him first, and when the users get it, then it is very simple to make a profit. ”
"It's a very simple example, we all know that monopoly is the most profitable business. We may not be able to monopolize it, but we can be dominant. We don't charge money, we don't push ads, the software performance is superior, and it's easy to grab users. ”
"ICQ is no match for us in this regard. As for MSN, with its back to the Great God, we may not be able to defeat it, but it is not a problem at all to let it follow our ass and eat dust. ”
"If it was before, Mr. Ma, you might be worried about the matter of funds. But starting tomorrow, there will be 200 million US dollars of funds into Xunteng, and this 200 million US dollars can fully support Xunteng to drive ICQ out of the domestic market. At that time, the largest instant messaging software provider in China is Xunteng. ”
"Xunteng's main instant messaging software can not be profitable, and when the time comes, we can launch a series of supporting software to make a profit. In the case of such a large user base as instant messaging software, as long as the supporting software is not too bad, it will definitely make money. ”
"For example, a game, a third-rate game, as long as there are enough users, will be more popular than a first-class game, or rather, make money. Legend you know, in Goryeo is just a third-rate game, but in our country, it is extremely popular, directly making Shanda among the first-class game providers. ”
"When the time comes, we can develop the game by ourselves, and if we develop it, we don't need to pay agency fees. If you can't develop it, you can find some high-quality game agents, and you can make money after all. ”
"The Internet industry, after all, is a sentence, traffic is king, users are the first. With users and traffic, there is no need to worry about losing money at all. ”
This is the experience accumulated before Ying Hao's rebirth, before Ying Hao's rebirth, countless emerging Internet industries, in the early stage, were all kinds of burning money to grab users. worked hard with similar businesses, and it was not until there were two or three left that they tore off their free coats and began to charge.
At that point, users can only spend money if they don't want to.
Because, people who are used to using these things, you let them not use it, it is impossible.
But if you want to find other software of the same type, you will be charged the same. The free ones have all been killed, and there will be no new entries, so you will have to accept the fact that you are charged.
For example, takeaway software, various coupons and discounts in the early stage, when there are only a few such software left in the market, the industry rules will come out.
Ma Huateng's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, what Ying Hao said, he never thought about it.
Because, Xun Teng is poor.
In 2000, he searched all over China, and only got so little investment, when did he dare to think about burning money first and then making a profit.
Last year, he began to make a profit, but those shareholders were clamoring for dividends one by one, and they were not even willing to invest more, so he naturally could not have such thoughts.
As Ying Hao said just now, starting tomorrow, Xunteng will have a large amount of money in the account, and it is completely possible to burn money to grab the market first, and then start harvesting when the market position is stable.
While most of the money will go into the pockets of the shareholders today, a large part will also go into the company.
In this way, the money burned in the early stage will be there.
Even if it burns out, Ma Huateng believes that Ying Hao and Duan Huang can increase their investment. Even if they don't have the money to invest, they will definitely be able to find a way to raise money, and they don't need him to look for money everywhere like begging grandpa and grandma.
Thinking of this, Ma Huateng said to Yinghao with emotion: "You should always be able to have your current net worth, not by luck, but by strength, I am convinced!"
