Chapter 219: Nonsensical Requests
As soon as these words came out, all eyes were on Ma Huateng, who was sitting in the chief.
Now, it's Mr. Ma's turn to make a 'difficult decision'.
It is no secret that there are grievances between Zelianke and Tencent, Zhao Zejun and Ma Huateng once had a honeymoon period, and later because of the game and financial business, which led to the split of the Skynet Alliance and became two camps of the Internet, the two sides have competition and cooperation, but in general they are in an opposite state.
Now Tencent's top priority, the primary opponent, is not Zelianke and Baidu, but 360.
The longer it drags on, the greater the harm to Tencent.
With the influence and number of users of Zelianke's Weibo, if it can also join the anti-360 alliance, it will naturally have a huge role in promoting the overall situation.
And only Ma Huateng, who is qualified to have a direct dialogue with Zelianke, and only Ma Huateng himself came forward to contact Zhao Zejun, can reflect Tencent's sincerity.
At the beginning, it was Mr. Ma who broke with Ze Lianke, and now, if Mr. Ma wants to make up for the rift, it depends on whether Mr. Ma can pull down his face.
After all, it's for the whole company.
"Well, I'll personally communicate this issue with Zelianko. Ma Huaten nodded.
Although his face was expressionless, at the mention of the three words Zelianke, Ma Huateng's heart couldn't help but fluctuate.
What he was thinking about was not a personal face issue, whether to communicate with Zhao Zejun.
It's about having to communicate, how to communicate.
In fact, the work of the anti-360 alliance, he has been secretly deployed, and a number of enterprises have been contacted.
But the last and most important level was stuck on Zelianke.
The actual effect of this alliance does not depend on the number of members, but on the weight of the members!
The market share is large, the influence is strong, and the indispensable members of the user are the decisive force.
At present, among the many companies contacted, only three companies, Aoyou, Keniu, and Sogou, have made it clear that they are willing to stand up, show their banner to join Tencent, and use tough means to fight against 360.
However, the weight of these three is obviously not enough.
Alibaba, Baidu, is the real killer, if these two can join the anti-360 alliance, as soon as this alliance moves, 360 will inevitably collapse.
But the problem is that Baidu's side, even if it has been blackmailed by 360, has an ambiguous attitude on this matter, Li Yanhong is vague, and the meaning of his words still has to be discussed with Zelianke.
Baidu and Zelianke have always worn a pair of pants, and after the formation of two camps, these pants have been worn more closely.
That's it, Baidu is another camp after all, and what is annoying is that Ali, who is in the same trench with Tencent and has also been in the hands of 360, is unwilling to support Tencent this time.
The reason is very simple, Ali's Internet assistant and real-name business, which were destroyed by 360 back then, are not the core business, and its focus is on e-commerce.
At present, Ali's biggest and most powerful competitor in the mainland, JD.com, also wears a pair of pants with Zelianke.
If Baidu and Zelianke are cooperating, then Jingdong almost relies on Zelianke's snort and obeys Zelianke's words.
Alibaba made a wave and announced that it was not compatible with 360, if JD was also incompatible with 360, it would be fine, but what if JD was indifferent?
Wouldn't that immediately give up all the market to JD.com and abolish its martial arts?
Ma Yun's meaning is very clear, before JD.com, or Zhao Zejun does not clearly express his opposition to 360, it is absolutely impossible for Alibaba to join the anti-360 alliance.
As for the antivirus software such as Ruixing and Kingsoft, which have a real grudge against 360, it is possible to take this opportunity to regain the market, but it is still unknown whether they are willing to use the same drastic means as 'incompatible' as Tencent.
Tencent dares not to be compatible with 360,Because the user base is far more than 360,Affordable,QQ is also a necessary software;And Kingsoft、Ruixing,Compared with 360,There are not many users in the first place,Can't help but consume like this;Moreover,They are not as good as 360,Users can do without them at all。
What's more, Lei Jun, the real behind-the-scenes boss of Jinshan, is now also fighting with Zhao Zejun.
Xiaomi technology has become a dark horse in the smartphone market, the outside world has always believed that the cooperation between Lei Jun and Zhao Zejun is a match made in heaven, and Lei Jun's current focus is obviously more invested in Xiaomi technology, Zhao Zejun's opinion will also greatly affect Lei Jun and Jinshan.
Competition and cooperation are ubiquitous, penetrate each other, influence each other, and can be transformed into each other at any time, in the final analysis, if you want to truly establish a strong 360 alliance, the key point now falls on Zelianke.
Ma Huateng himself didn't understand why Zhao Zejun, who had been on the sidelines, inexplicably became the key to determining the outcome of the game?
Speaking of Xiaomi mobile phones, Ma Huateng couldn't help but feel a little upset.
The era of mobile Internet has arrived, if it is not for 360 'trouble', the most important thing Tencent should do at present is to fight for a ticket to the mobile Internet.
was inserted by 360 so much that Tencent had to concentrate on coping, but let Zelianke take the lead and obtain one of the two best tickets in the mobile Internet era through Xiaomi mobile phones: hardware tickets.
If there is no Zelianke, after the 360 war, Tencent can take advantage of the power of victory and march towards the mobile Internet era with great fanfare, but Zelianke is just stuck in Tencent, the most critical node.
It's the same as the last time Alibaba was cut off in the financial industry, what Tencent wanted to do, this time it was taken the lead by Zelianke!
Ma Huateng and Ma Yun once talked about their feelings about Zelianke, and the reason why they chose to stand in different camps with Zelianke is not entirely because of the competition in games, finance, and these very specific projects, but more because they both keenly feel the huge threat in the future, and the existence of Zelianke, like another version of Ali and Tencent, will take away their most precious things one step ahead.
Now, Ma Huateng can't help but think too much, and after thinking about it for a while, he dialed Zhao Zejun's private phone.
"Mr. Ma, I haven't been in touch for a long time. ”
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Zejun said in a calm tone as if he had expected to receive a call from him.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think about the matter of 360?" Ma Huateng got straight to the point.
Zhao Zejun pondered for a moment and said: "360 This time, it is not QQ Butler that shakes, but QQ itself, which is digging the foundation of Tencent, in turn, Tencent uses the huge user base to launch QQ Doctor, which is also shaking the foundation of 360's survival." And all the other companies, including my Zelianke, no matter which side they are on, hope to get the most out of this matter. So ......"
Zhao Zejun smiled: "The key point of the 360 incident is not what I think, but how much Tencent is willing to pay to solve the problem." ”
Before making this call, Ma Huateng had already expected that since he took the initiative to contact the other party, the other party would definitely open his mouth and ask for enough benefits, but he didn't expect Zhao Zejun to say it so bluntly.
It's very straightforward, with the bloody straightforwardness between the thick shark teeth, but it's also very real.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you want?" asked Ma Huateng.
"I want Tencent and Zelianke to jointly build an open platform. Zhao Zejun said.
"Open platform?" Ma Huateng was slightly stunned, not understanding what Zhao Zejun meant.
"In short, both sides can open up all their projects to provide interfaces, publicity, and resource sharing for each other's products and other web developers. ”
Zhao Zejun smiled and said: "I won't tell you, Zelianke will have new projects launched next, and it is very much in need of Tencent's publicity." ”
The open platform is a revolutionary enterprise transformation carried out by Tencent after a series of research and demonstrations after the 3Q war. Tencent no longer acquires and copycats, but opens up its own platform, cooperates with talented entrepreneurs from all walks of life, and leverages Tencent's strong platform foundation to bring huge traffic and revenue to the app.
In just a few years, with this platform, Tencent has accessed more than 4 million applications, shared revenue of more than 10 billion, spawned 50 billionaires, and incubated more than 20 companies listed or backdoor listed.
It is precisely because of this platform that Tencent, which has been criticized for many years, has achieved transformation, and Tencent has become an open platform enterprise from a closed predatory enterprise, tying many small and medium-sized Internet companies and entrepreneurs with itself and becoming a giant in the Internet industry.
However, at this time, Zhao Zejun suddenly made this suggestion, but Ma Huateng couldn't accept it at all!
Tencent has been on a closed road before, and an open platform is equivalent to completely changing Tencent's corporate strategy and going in the opposite direction.
Just talk about the most visible benefits: Tencent's user base is so huge, if all of them are opened, it will be equivalent to unreservedly doing traffic guidance for Zelianke.
How is it possible to give away the most valuable resources that Tencent has accumulated over the years?
At this time, Zhao Zejun asked Tencent to open all platform resources without any restrictions, which is even greater than the threat of 360 to Tencent.
If Ma Huateng is given enough time to think and demonstrate after the end of the 360 War, maybe he will be the same as the original time and space, and make the transformation decision of an open platform by himself without Zhao Zejun's proposal.
But at this time, Ma Huateng only felt that this was Zhao Zejun taking advantage of the opportunity of the 3Q battle to blackmail him into making a major regression.
Zelianke has taken the lead in getting the ticket of the mobile Internet, if Tencent agrees to open the big platform to Zelianke, it is tantamount to driving the wolf at the front door and entering the tiger at the back door, even if it wins the battle of 360, it will also cultivate the most terrible enemy in the era of mobile Internet.
Zhao Zejun's request is not only excessive, but also a bit nonsensical.
"Mr. Zhao, this request is absolutely impossible. Ma Huateng said neatly, "I can promote it in a limited way, and even in terms of games, Tencent can make major concessions, but the whole platform is absolutely not open." ”
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Zejun was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Ma, in the short time we spoke, Tencent may have lost hundreds of thousands of users, and its stock price has fallen by several cents. 360 is not listed, it doesn't care about the impact of word-of-mouth on the stock price; antivirus software is a field with a certain technical content, before there is no better alternative, Kingsoft, Ruixing, these limited competition, will not really shake the foundation of 360, and Tencent is ready for a protracted tug-of-war?"
