Chapter 131: WeChat is far less powerful
After the copyright of "Miracle MU" was won, Wei Kun's Korean strategy this time was basically over.
Although the day before yesterday I met a few bigwigs who worked in social software companies, and I didn't call after leaving each other's business cards, Wei Kunzi didn't fancy his own treatment, after all, there are giants in the social field such as "Tencent" and "Sina", and his small company that has not yet started in the social field is naturally nothing.
Social software entrepreneurship has always been one of the industries with the largest influx of Chinese entrepreneurs, and the largest number of deaths.
The war in the social sphere is no less fierce than that of O2O.
A family with no social genes, relying on the money from web games to smash into the social field, no matter how you look at it, it is a nouveau riche who sees others 'socializing' to make money, and waves his hand to follow up.
'Social networking is the crown jewel of Internet products. ——Zhang Mingchen, Vice President of Red Dot Ventures.
That being said, the fact is that most social companies don't even have a voice when they die, and that's the status quo of the entire social field.
There are two main drivers for the development of social products: one is the change of hardware, such as from PC to mobile, and the other is the change of people.
Both of these drivers are firmly grasped by Tencent.
From social to community to tools, it forms the largest chain of disdain for China's mobile apps.
Tools are at the bottom, because of their lack of user stickiness, once a better tool appears, it will be replaced immediately; the community is in the middle of the chain, the product has a certain stickiness, but it needs to have the ability to continuously produce content, otherwise it will also die; and the social product at the top of the chain, the precipitated relationship chain is its biggest barrier, even if the function and content are not updated in time, it will not face the threat immediately.
This is the fundamental reason why tool products, including Alipay and the Meitu App, want to be social.
What Ali wants to do, Wei Kun naturally wants to do.
The key to doing this is people!
As the content manager of Kakao Talk's product department, Song Yuanpeng is already a big man in the field of social software to a certain extent.
Being able to enter a large company like Tencent and Sina is naturally not a difficult thing for Song Yuanpeng, after all, he has work experience in Kakao Talk, and he has almost started with P3.1 (product/project channel), and the annual salary of senior engineers is 350,000 yuan.
Song Yuanpeng's ability is not very clear, if the ability is super strong, it is possible to start directly P3.3, or even P4, that is the director level, with an annual salary of at least 1 million, and 1 million stocks/options.
In terms of treatment, Wei Kun can give quite, or even better, because to start from scratch, I don't know how many people have been trapped for this alone.
There are so many social networking companies that silently close down in China every year, can it be said that after less than half a year of employment, the company goes bankrupt and then looks for a job on their own? This is not such a good result for people who want to live a stable life.
Not to mention the delay, I have to drag my family to find a job again.
Song Yuanpeng didn't call in the past two days, and in Wei Kun's opinion, it was a matter of course, if he had the ability, he would have a better choice, so he naturally didn't need to look at other people's faces.
Just to his surprise, the day before Wei Kun planned to leave South Korea, Song Yuanpeng's phone called his mobile phone, wanting to ask him out to meet and the two of them talk together.
The location is in a nearby café, which is worthy of a coffee-loving people.
When Wei Kun arrived at this café, Song Yuanpeng had been waiting early, and when he saw someone coming, he got up and stretched out his right hand with a smile, "Mr. Wei, long time no see." ”
"Yes, if it weren't for your phone call, I would have booked my tickets today and prepared to go back tomorrow. ”
Hearing this, Song Yuanpeng asked, "Mr. Wei is going back?"
Wei Kun nodded, "The copyright has been negotiated with the game company here, so naturally I want to go back." ”
While talking, the waiter brought two cups of coffee, and the two chatted while drinking.
"Mr. Wei, how about the data of WeChat in China?" Although he knew that his own senior Zhang Xiaolong had developed a similar social software, he really didn't know the specific number and the impact on the domestic social field.
Wei Kun still knows a lot about this, after all, 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible'.
"On March 29 and January 21 this year, WeChat was born to 100 million users, and it took a total of 433 days. Although the WeChat team has not released its own data since March, the growth rate will only be faster because of the chain of acquaintances and contacts in the address book. ”
When it comes to WeChat's data, Wei Kun has long kept it in mind.
"That's fast!"
Hearing Wei Kun's words, Song Yuanpeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Yes, Tencent is the king in the social field, even if Ali is envious, he can't catch up. Wei Kun said with a smile.
I don't know why, when facing Wei Kun, Song Yuanpeng can always feel inexplicable confidence from him, and even the people around him will be affected by him.
It's like he knows that Tencent is the king of the social field, and his heart is like a mirror, but he doesn't believe in evil and wants to go up and use his little arm to break his wrist with the monster Tencent, which is both smart and stubborn.
Song Yuanpeng came here this time to have a serious talk with Wei Kun, wanting to know what he was thinking.
"What I've learned is that the domestic social sector is oversaturated, so why do you want to enter the market at this time?"
Wei Kun took a sip of coffee on the table and said: "There is a saying that 'good food is not afraid of being late', but now it should be said in reverse, the sooner you do social work, the better, since you can't travel through time to advance to WeChat and Mi Chat before the birth of WeChat, then you can only start early." ”
"Backed by Tencent's social tree, WeChat has a potential massive user base early, which is a huge resource advantage that no company in China can match, which also brings a huge user base to WeChat's cold start. ”
"But in essence the old way. ”
Speaking of which, Wei Kun did not continue.
In March 18, Boss Ma publicly announced at the National Two Sessions of the National People's Congress where technology bigwigs gathered that the global users of WeChat could exceed one billion.
Oh, no, to be precise, it should be a global user account, which also includes a huge domestic user group, excluding overseas users, and people who apply for multiple accounts in China due to business, this number may drop a lot.
WeChat is powerful, but it's not as powerful as it seems, at least in Wei's opinion.
After many years, WeChat can be said to be a behemoth for many social software, but it is certainly not now.
