Chapter 153: FF-1
Lin Feng sat in the office and carefully sorted out the recent matters in his mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What stage has this just reached?
When the company's total assets are only billions of dollars, and the industry is only a few mainstream businesses such as websites and games, he already has a feeling that his affairs are complicated and chaotic.
In addition to the mainstream Internet websites, e-commerce, games, search and other businesses, they also include mobile Internet, cultural media, finance, hardware manufacturing, logistics, data and many other fields.
When Lin Feng thinks about it now, he feels admiration and a big head.
It is no wonder that every large company, in addition to the top-level executive team, has countless full-time vice presidents in each specific business, and subsidiaries also have independent CEOs, and even need to cooperate with the president to have a special "chamber of waiting".
Lin Feng feels that from now on, he also needs to start training the company's senior executives and establish an efficient management system.
Relying only on himself, Li Dong, and Wang Hao, the three partners, it is impossible to control everything in detail, and this increasingly huge company is popular.
This is a big topic, and Lin Feng feels that he needs to take a time out to make a long-term plan with Li Dong.
Fengxing has always been driven by Lin Feng and is growing rapidly at an unconventional speed.
Up to now, there has gradually been a trace of Lin Feng's imagination, the prototype of the future Internet giant.
It's just that the foundation is still weak.
If there is no management team and management system to support it, it will fall into a situation where the larger the company, the faster it falls.
Shanda is a prime example.
Chen Tianqiao can be described as a generation of heroes, and Chen Danian is also extremely smart and a technical genius.
It's just that Shanda's management system focuses too much on the family business, and the power and ability of other executives are out of balance, which has led to a large number of talent leaving.
Shanda, which had a great opportunity to dominate, actually fell under the tide of the times in just a few years, and finally transformed into an investment group, and its influence in the industry was greatly reduced, which is really embarrassing.
Although Chen Tianqiao's "box" strategy is too advanced, there are risks in the policy.
The biggest reason is that there is a problem with Shanda's management system.
This is a living example, enough to make Lin Feng vigilant!
…………
I thought about it and sorted it out. Lin Feng initially clarified his thoughts.
There are a total of 5 major business groups.
The planning of the game business group is basically completed: led by Yao Xiaoguang in Shanghai and Xu Bo in Beijing, it will be adjusted according to the arrangement of the strategy committee meeting, and it is estimated that it will take about 1 or 2 months to form a new game business group.
That is, Beijing is the headquarters, mainly engaged in the research and development and operation of large-scale MMORPG projects, and Shanghai is the branch, mainly engaged in the research and development of leisure and other types of online games, while taking into account the Haofang battle platform and the agent operation of "World of Warcraft".
In this way, the two princes of the game business group have territorial power, and they also maintain a balanced trend.
In addition to the game business group, another core of Fengxing Company is the software business group (FF business group).
Although everyone thinks that the web media business group is the only business in the game business group.
But the top management inside Fengxing knows very well that the important surname of the software business group even exceeds the game business group to some extent!
On the surface, this business group is mainly based on Foxmail mail client software, but in fact, the focus is on the development of FF voice communication software.
From the beginning, Lin Feng and Wang Hao secretly started the research and development of this "nuclear strategic product", and it has been almost one and a half years now.
Lin Feng initially put forward high requirements: in order to achieve voice transmission without jamming and dropping in the current network basic environment, in addition to large-scale investment in server and bandwidth resources, the underlying architecture of the software itself needs to be perfectly designed.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Tencent's CTO Zhang Zhidong, Tencent's "No. 2 person" is the underlying technology developer of QQ, he single-handedly designed the QQ architecture from 1998, until later, the number of users from the previous design of millions to hundreds of millions, the entire architecture is still applicable, really commendable, even incredible. It can be seen how important the underlying architecture is for communication software!
Fortunately, from a technical point of view, Wang Hao is also worthy of being a bull, he organized the most capable programmers of Fengxing Company to carry out closed development, which lasted a year, and finally completed the preliminary research and development of FF.
It's just that with the sudden rise of popularity, the acquisition of hao123 and Foxmail one after another, the overall business layout began to be readjusted, especially to integrate Foxmail mailbox and various businesses into FF, and increased a lot of development.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaolong joined.
This one of China's first batch of programmers, and is known as one of the best programmers in China, is indeed not an idle person.
When he came into contact with the FF project, he was immediately filled with passion and creativity. For Zhang Xiaolong, Foxmail is certainly a product that he has poured countless efforts into, but after all, as an email software, it has its limitations, and it is far less influential than social messaging software.
Zhang Xiaolong has a special affection for communication software for a long time, and has been thinking about what angle to cut into the market, but after all, the resources are limited, and the heart is more than enough.
Now that it has entered the trend, there is no shortage of funds and resources, and there are mature products in front of you, so what are you waiting for?
He happily took on the role of General Manager of the Software Business Group, and in addition to continuing to improve the conversion of Foxmail from the client to the web, he devoted all his energy to the development of FF.
Wang Hao, Zhang Xiaolong, Li Jun (who developed the ringtone editing software at the beginning), three top technical geniuses, developed FF together!
Lin Feng definitely has high hopes and confidence.
Imagine,When FF is launched,Immediately can aggregate 40 million registered users of my love music network、30 million registered users of games such as "Fantasy Journey to the West", 40 million registered users of Haofang battle platform, 10 million registered users of Foxmail...... Even if some of them overlap, it is expected that the number of FF users will exceed 100 million!
What is this concept?
By April 2004, the number of registered users of QQ exceeded 300 million, that is to say, as soon as FF was launched, it had 1/3 of the number of QQ users.
At this time, the number of global users of MSN has just exceeded 100 million, and Sina UC has accumulated nearly three years, and the number of users has only just reached 80 million. As for NetEase Bubble's 15 million users, it is even more insignificant.
The launch of FF will enter the first camp in the field of communication software in one fell swoop.
However, it is estimated that due to FF's special form of voice communication, QQ will not use it as a competitor at the beginning. From the perspective of the model, the opponent of FF is Sina UC.
But no one knows that in Lin Feng's heart, FF is more than just a communication software.
It will be the core of the entire business system, and will be the branch of all businesses, just like QQ is to Tencent, FF will become the invisible tree and cornerstone of the epidemic, and will be popular in the music, games, communities, mailboxes, and even Alipay that are scattered now...... , all gathered into it, thus forming a terrifying Internet user portal!
This is Lin Feng's killer feature that has been preparing for many years!
That is to say, Lin Feng has the experience of his previous life, YY started from games, to live music, Momo started from stranger socialization, and also to live broadcast...... ,It proves that in the era of mobile Internet,The characteristics of social networking have changed a lot,So at the beginning of my love music network, he left a foreshadowing,Gather a large number of original music talents and cover talents,And the acquisition of Haofang,It is for FF to provide music、Game user genes。
In the process of the development of the Internet industry, there will be a wave of social networking sites, such as school, happy, everyone, etc., and Lin Feng will also integrate this social form into FF through acquisition and investment, so as to achieve comprehensive competition with QQ.
Even if it can't squeeze out the throne of QQ boss, as long as FF can also share the social needs of China's 1.3 billion users, there will naturally be countless profit points!
Now, it's time for FF to be born!
