Among Internet companies, if you talk about the number of users and stickiness alone, then no company can compare with Tencent.

But how to convert this huge number of users into profits, this is a headache for Xiao Ma.

The reason why Tencent's market value has been so low is because the company has not found a profit direction, and the company's profits cannot be improved.

When the QQ membership service was launched, the QQ show was launched, and there was a lot of messy diamonds, which really made a lot of money.

However, it is not enough.

Because the expenditure on hardware and operation and maintenance of social software companies is too large!

Think about it, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of users are using your software all the time, and they are not just browsing, but they are messaging each other, and there are voice and video and so on.

How many servers does this require?

How much bandwidth is needed!

Therefore, although Tencent dominates the domestic real-time social field, and the company's size is also a giant, its market value cannot even be compared with Meigou.com.

Not only is it not comparable, but there is also a big gap with Meigou.com.

Tencent Holdings, which is listed in Hong Kong, currently has a market value of just over HK$240 billion, or less than US$40 billion.

The market value of Meigo.com is more than 110 billion US dollars!

For Internet companies, investors allow you to remain unprofitable for a long time, but they want to see that you have a clear monetization channel and monetization ability.

Those companies that do not have the ability to monetize will not live long.

The monetization of Tencent's membership system has proven that it can only make it live, but it cannot make it live better.

Therefore, the market value of this social giant has been so depressed for a long time.

Of course, Brother Xiao Ma is not reconciled, he has survived for so many years, and finally boiled all his competitors to death, and now QQ and WeChat dominate both the computer and mobile terminals.

But not to make money......

He was trying everything to improve the company's profitability, and he made an e-commerce website by himself, but he died.

Now he has taken a fancy to the group buying website again, and he also wants to invest in a few, since he can't do it himself, then I will invest in supporting others to do the head office.

Xiao Ma admires Wang Ye's vision and forward-looking very much, so when he has the opportunity, he will also ask Wang Ye about Internet-related issues.

Wang Ye did not hide that although Meigou has done a lot of success, Wang Ye has not focused his career on the Internet, so there is no need to worry about any competition problems.

Regarding group buying, Wang Ye candidly expressed his opinions.

"Mr. Ma, I am not optimistic about group buying, this is just a bubble economy. It won't take too long, and when this tide subsides, you will find that those group buying websites that are currently booming are actually swimming naked. ”

After listening to Wang Ye's judgment, Xiao Ma was a little worried, his company has recently contacted several group buying websites and is ready to invest.

If it is really as Wang Ye said, no one can do it, then wouldn't he have wasted his money.

"There are so many group buying websites, and none of them can do it?"

Brother Pony asked unwillingly.

Wang Ye thought for a while, and he couldn't speak too absolutely, although most of the group buying websites died, there were still some that survived.

"Then Meituan, this company is different from other group buying websites, it focuses on group buying in the service industry, this kind of group buying is really promising, I guess this company has a good prospect. ”

Brother Xiao Ma quickly wrote down the name "Meituan", he had no doubt that Wang Ye was talking nonsense, and if they were at their level, if they didn't have a certain degree of certainty, how could they speak indiscriminately.

Even if Wang Ye doesn't have to take responsibility, maybe Brother Xiao Ma may invest hundreds of millions or more of funds after listening to his speculation, so he will say it if he is sure.

During the chat, the old horse of Ping An also walked in, and when he saw Brother Xiaoma, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I said you Tencent, it's really! What kind of game did you get, the name is so weird, masturbation, masturbation...... My kid is addicted to this game, and he plays every day when he comes home from school, and his grades have regressed!"

Brother Ma hurriedly defended himself: "Brother Ma, you can't blame me for this." There is always someone to do the game, as long as you have self-control and control the time you play the game, it will not affect anything. ”

Tencent has been making games for the past two years, and the "masturbation" that Lao Ma said is actually a game called "League of Legends" from Riot of America introduced by Tencent.

The game was introduced in 2010, and after more than two years of Tencent promoting it at any cost, it can only be regarded as improving this year.

In the past, playing masturbation was to be ridiculed, especially for veteran players who played DOTA, and they couldn't look down on this League of Legends game at all.

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard the name "masturbation", he didn't play games much, but how could he not know about this game.

It's just that I've been busy with my own career and haven't paid attention to it at all, Tencent has taken down this game and promoted it for a while.

He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Pony, this LOL game is the first few years that it has been introduced?"

Brother Pony glanced at Wang Ye in surprise, he didn't expect that Wang Ye would also know about this game.

Originally, people like them couldn't be busy with things at work, but it can really be said that it is like what Xing Ye said in the movie, hundreds of thousands of minutes per minute.

It's like Pony is making games now, but he doesn't have much time to play games.

"It's been three years since it was introduced, and not many people played in the first two years, but this year it's been in a good format, and there are millions of monthly active players. ”

If it's a paid game, then it's a lot of millions of monthly active users, and only World of Warcraft can reach this level at the moment.

It's a pity that LOL is a completely free game, so although there are many active users, Tencent doesn't make any money.

The current Tencent has not yet cultivated to the realm of "creating happiness with salary" in later generations, or rather, it is not black enough.

"Did you start any competitions, world-class?" Wang Ye asked.

Games like LOL and DOTA, the most suitable is e-sports, that is, competitions, and if there are no games, the charm of such games will be reduced by more than half.

"It's been held for two sessions, and this year it will be held for the third time, but unfortunately the influence is not very good, and there are not many people watching it on the spot. Little Pony smiled sheepishly.

"Did you buy Riot?" Wang Ye continued to ask.

Brother Xiao Ma was not surprised, but shocked.

They do have plans to buy Riot Company, but they are still in internal discussions, and they haven't decided it at all, so why Wang Ye knows.
