Chapter 230: The Good Days Are Over
Zhou Hongwei came to meet Zhao Zejun in person, and his sincerity was full, and Zhao Zejun's communication with Ma Huateng several times was through encrypted videos between the two parties.
The sincerity is the same in different ways. Whether Ma Huateng took the initiative to contact Zhao Zejun, or Zhao Zejun contacted Ma Huateng this time, they were full of sincerity.
However, it is absolutely impossible to have no sincerity, but no matter how great sincerity is, it must be built on the premise of cooperation, and without the premise of cooperation, the grand strategic conflict between the two sides, no matter how good the sincerity is, it is useless.
"Zelianko and 360 are like that. Zhao Zejun shook his head and smiled in the video, and said to Ma Huateng: "I don't like the expansion model of 360, and I don't worry that there will be a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads in the future, which can balance the entire Internet at any time, so I rejected Zhou Hongwei." ”
After the board meeting, this is the second video between Ma Huateng and Zhao Zejun, listening to Zhao Zejun say it bluntly, Ma Huateng thought about it and didn't explain: "I didn't expect you to be so direct, I thought you were going to use 360 as a bargaining chip." ”
"There's no need for that. Zhao Zejun shook his head and said: "Everyone can see the current situation on the Internet very clearly, and people say that the authorities are fascinated, but I think that Mr. Ma, you and Zhou Hongwei, the vision is the most accurate." Now Zelianke can choose not to stand in line, and it will not lose anything, let the two of you slowly consume, there is no loss to me, WeChat and financial business, can gradually develop. To put it bluntly, it is Tencent and 360 that are in a hurry, not Zelianke. ”
"Do you still insist on an open platform?" Ma Huateng frowned.
This bend is really not good for Tencent.
"Yes. Zhao Zejun nodded without hesitation, his eyelids drooped, then he raised his eyes, and said seriously: "Mr. Ma, the times are different." We always hear rough development, upgrading and transformation, and these words are the same in the Internet industry. The brutal development of the Internet in the early days brought us a golden age, but if you think about it, what is the real cause of this 3Q war? Is it Tencent that launched QQ Manager to grab the 360 market? Or is it 360 slandering QQ and blocking QQ's ads?"
"Isn't it?" Mr. Mawalten said.
"On the surface, yes, but in the final analysis, it was everyone who developed roughly, unruly and unruly, which led to bad results. There is so much competition in the same field, but such a fierce competition is very rare, to put it bluntly, it is the vicious competition that has accumulated to a certain extent. Oh, if you want to pirate, you can pirate, if you want to ban it, it will be blocked, it will not leave a way for others to live, and it will be no problem to run rampant for a while, can it still be domineering for a lifetime? When encountering small enterprises and entrepreneurs without roots and backgrounds, it is natural to rub them with a large enterprise like us, but we big enterprises, sooner or later, there will be a 'conflict', and we are used to being domineering, and no one will give in.
Zhao Zejun's words can be regarded as digging out his heart and lungs, as a traverser, although there is no clear incident to prove his argument, but according to some feelings of cold bystanders in his previous life, he does feel that after 2010, the development model of the Internet has changed completely different from before.
To put it simply, it's a lot more formal.
"Mr. Ma, you and I are both at the top of the mainland Internet wave, well, we have an entrepreneurial side, and at the same time, I believe that you, like me, also have the spirit of Internet pioneers. From this perspective, let's look back and think, what is the essence of the Internet?
Zhao Zejun said lightly: "Openness, inclusiveness, sharing, interconnection and reciprocity, interoperability, this is the foundation of the Internet, we are not precisely because of these, we have Tencent, Zelianke." Today, the status is high, the money is more, but the eyes are blinded by the world of flowers, only care about making money, competition, quick success, lust for profit, but forget the original intention, is to create a new world. ”
Ma Huateng glanced at Zhao Zejun, and there was some indescribable taste in his eyes.
Okay, even the chicken soup for the soul is on it, this little brother of Zelianke, who has watched all the way and merged with Tencent, has really taken great pains for this open platform.
But thinking about Zhao Zejun's words, it's really not wrong.
Whether he is fooling or sincere, he is right, and at the same time, the current situation is here: if the 3Q war is not ended as soon as possible, Tencent's stock will be in big trouble!
"Mr. Zhao, don't talk about your original intentions, and you don't have to talk about your life ideals and the future of the Internet. The most realistic problem is that once Tencent opens the platform, hundreds of millions of users will be diverted to WeChat, and the homogeneity of these two products is too high. Ma Huateng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is drinking to quench thirst, you are braiding a rope sleeve, let me drill my neck into it!"
"I think you're too pessimistic. Mount Tai is majestic, Mount Hua is steep, the Yellow River is turbid, and the Yangtze River is clear, all of them are mountains and rivers, but have you ever heard of which mountain has cut off the way of life of another mountain, and that river has cut off the water source of another river? You must know that instant messaging is different from search engines, and it is not a field of high technical difficulty, and Tencent should focus on improving its products instead of sticking to the old idea of 'one company dominates and drives away all competitors'. ”
Zhao Zejun saw Ma Huateng's expression, he was slightly shaken, sighed for a while, and said: "That's it, Mr. Ma, WeChat computer client market, I don't exert force, leave it to QQ, only retain the most basic functions, do not do synchronous optimization and upgrading, WeChat only focuses on the mobile phone." In this way, the core market of QQ will not be impacted, and since it is an open platform, if WeChat becomes popular in the future, it can also feed back QQ. There are 700 million or 800 million computer users in the country, and the QQ market will only increase, not decrease. ”
High-level deception, there are two essential elements: nine truths and one falsehood, true feelings. If Zhao Zejun is asked to score himself, Lao Zhao feels that he can give at least 9 points this time.
Everyone knows that the era of 'mobile Internet' has arrived, but except for him, I am afraid no one will believe that in just a few years, smart phones will become a new generation of Internet terminals, leaving computers far behind. Even a lightweight laptop, in later generations, its use time, frequency and range are far less than that of mobile phones, and many new functions and products in the mobile Internet era will not be carried out on the computer at all.
As for the WeChat PC side, this is a very embarrassing thing, and under normal circumstances, few people use it. There is not much of it, and there is no less of it.
This chip was thrown, and Ma Huateng was indeed tempted.
"In addition, Tencent's situation is very difficult now, and it needs not only to end the 3Q war, but also to win a big victory to save the sluggish stock market. ”
Zhao Zejun suddenly became a caring little brother, and took the initiative to mention what Ma Huateng wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start, and said: "This time, if the two of us join forces, Tencent will definitely gain more than Mr. Ma you hope." It's not just as simple as getting out of the quagmire of 360. ”
"What exactly?" asked Mawarteng.
Zhao Zejun smiled, "I personally suggest that Tencent prepare a large sum of money, and the good days of 360 are about to come to an end." ”
