Chapter 701: Twin Horse Combo
Since the update, it has been criticized by many readers, and I have deleted most of the book reviews.
But you don't have to worry, it's not that I can't accept criticism, and I keep all the useful ones in mind, but I don't want future readers to be affected. Because different readers, receptivity, and cognition of the three views are different.
The author is not a genius, he is even dumber than the average person, and it may take a long time to write to reach the level of others. If you see something bad, you are welcome to correct it, but I will still delete it after I finish reading.

"Mr. Ma, we are also our family, and it's boring to beat around the bush. Ma has not been doing well lately, and he has tried all kinds of ways to avoid competition with Weibo and try to save QQ.
The effect is there, but if you want to turn the situation around, you can't find a way or opportunity. At the same time, the number of QQ users is decreasing day by day, and he feels that there is no time left, and the struggle is only a few days late.
So Ma Huateng took the initiative to contact Jack Ma, planning to form a two-horse combination with him to deal with Jiang Yan Company together. He knew that Jack Ma was also a direct competitor to Jiang Yan Company in business, and the situation was not much better than him.
"Jiang Yan's current business is mainly involved in social networking, e-commerce, games, finance, mobile phones, etc., and the strength is very strong. If he continues to expand, our living space will become smaller and smaller. One day, Jiangyan will monopolize the domestic Internet industry, which will be a disaster for us and for the entire Chinese Internet. Ma Huateng said.
"I also feel the same way, Hang Yunshan has a very big appetite, I have talked to him a few times, hoping to cooperate with him. But every time I talk about the conflict of interests, I am willing to take a step back, but he refuses to take half a step. Although we cooperated to launch an international daigou, it was a last resort, and it was difficult for me to enter the international market without the help of their platform. Jackma also had a victim tone.
When Ma Huateng heard what he said, he immediately understood that Jackma also wanted to deal with Jiang Yan Company.
"The domestic Internet ecology is too bad, and users have no long-term interest perception at all, and only want temporary convenience. With the advantage of Weibo, Jiangyan can enter any field at will, and surpass its opponents in a short period of time with its user base. We have to turn this around, and competing with them in the social sphere is the best way to do it. Ma Huateng said.
"I also wanted to be a social platform, but I lacked experience in this area, and the product acceptance was poor. Coupled with the late entry into the market, it is no longer able to compete with Weibo. I'm curious, before Hangyunshan became famous, QQ's development momentum was obviously very good, how could it be overtaken?" Jackma said.
Of course, Ali has also made social software, but the product is too poor and nothing is willing to use it.
Everyone in later generations knew that Tencent wanted to do e-commerce, and Ali wanted to do social networking, but both sides failed to get their wishes. In this life, Hang Yu can combine the two models and succeed in both of them, which is equivalent to opening up a double talent.
"As you said, the development momentum of QQ was very good back then, and there were almost no opponents in China. It is also for this reason that we did not expect that such an advanced social platform as Weibo would be born at that time. It's me who underestimated the speed of development of the times, if we care more about our counterparts in Europe and the United States, we won't be able to seize this opportunity first. "Don't look at Ma Huateng's usual calm appearance, in fact, his intestines are repentant.
Especially when I learned that Hang Yu's Weibo was just a plagiarism of Twitter in the United States, I beat my chest angrily. Since then, Ma Huateng no longer dares to underestimate his peers, and has paid more attention to the development of the Internet in developed countries.
This is a good thing, after Ma Huateng set his sights on the world, his horizons have broadened a lot. At the same time, he has also found many ways from abroad and invested in many emerging small businesses.
"The speed of development of the times is indeed unexpected, and it has come ahead of us unconsciously. If you can't keep up with your thoughts, you will be eliminated inadvertently, which is why we lost to Jiangyan Company. Jack Ma agrees.
If you do global shopping earlier, if you do Tmall early...
"It's too late to correct the mistakes, and as long as we work together, we have a good chance of turning things around. Ma Huateng said.
"What do you suggest?" asked Jack Ma.
"No matter how updated QQ is, it is difficult to restore its former glory, because its image in the hearts of users has been almost fixed. So I'm going to make a new social platform, focusing on mobile clients, and find another way to regain my advantage. Ma Huateng said.
"Why focus on mobile and what are the features of this platform?" Jackma curious.
"As I said earlier, times are moving fast, and this time it will be my turn to grasp the pulse of the times. According to my observations, smartphones are now widely available and will soon become the main tool for young people. Ma Huateng said.
"I've noticed this, but as far as I know, Weibo can be logged in with a mobile phone. Jackma said.
"It's true that Weibo also has a mobile app, but how can there be a perfect product in this world. Ma Huateng showed a smile and said: "I have studied the platform of Weibo in particular, because it has integrated multiple functions, so it is large. Although Jiang Yan's developers are very strong, these functions are well planned and easy to use. However, it is limited to computers, and if you use your mobile phone to log in to Weibo, many functions are inconvenient to use, and even affect the most important function of social software - instant messaging. ”
"If you don't say it, I really don't know, it turns out that Weibo has such a weakness. Jackma "suddenly realized" that it was true or not.
"The reason why Weibo has developed so fast is that there is a very important function, which is the broadcasting platform. This feature can spread information quickly and spread like a virus. But the most important and core function of social platforms is still instant messaging. The new platform I'm going to make is still focused on instant messaging, and I'm going to introduce more convenient features on top of it. Ma Huateng explained.
"Simplicity and convenience are indeed the main points of mobile platforms, but that alone is not enough. If Hang Yunshan reacts, he only needs to simplify the mobile version of Weibo, and our advantages will be gone. Jackma said.
"If at this time, there is a sudden large-scale disconnection on Weibo, what do you guess?" Mr. Ma said.
"......," Jackma saw a treacherous look in his eyes.
Ma Huateng suddenly took out a mobile phone from his pocket, which looked very familiar, and Jack Ma found that there was a cute cat's paw logo on the back of the phone. I saw him operate the phone a few times, and then put it in front of Jack Ma.
"This is our latest mobile instant messaging platform, which is temporarily called Family Letters, and you can try it out. There are also different styles of instant messaging, we focus on family affection, privacy, and hope that family letters can become the messenger of communication for tens of millions of families. Ma Huaten's words were quite inflammatory.
"It's kind of interesting. Jackma nodded.
