After meeting with Zhang, Foxmail's acquisition continued smoothly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On January 12, Su Wen signed an agreement on behalf of Weixin and Boda Company, paid the advance payment, and the agreement took effect immediately.
Legally, Foxmail, an old domestic mail client, already belongs to WeChat!
The acquisition of Foxmail is of great significance to WeChat.
In addition to strengthening QQ's advantages in the field of instant messaging, it can also be extended to other fields through Foxmail.
Of course, with the acquisition of Foxmail, there are a lot of problems that need to be solved.
The first is the five million users of Foxmail, these are relatively high-end business users, and Su Wen doesn't want to see the loss of these high-quality users.
Secondly, Su Wen is going to change the name of Foxmail to QQ mailbox and make it a QQ icon, so that users do not need to download the client, and even as long as they have a QQ number, they can use Foxmail mailbox without registration.
On the other hand, the name change to QQ mailbox can also be regarded as a label for micro-communication.
These two points are not very easy to solve, but Su Wen is also ready for long-term combat.
If you can't accept it for a while, it doesn't mean that you will never be able to accept it, and time will dilute a lot of things.
On January 15th, after Weixin and Boda completed all the handover work, Weixin announced to the outside world on behalf of Weixin through the "Herald", which they had cooperated with last time, that Foxmail, an old email client, was officially incorporated into the territory of Weixi.
However, the exact purchase price was not disclosed, and the announcement was made in the Herald newspaper on a script-based basis.
Since Weixin received financing from MIH, it has been attracting attention from the outside world, and it is very concerned about what Weixin, which has obtained a huge amount of money, will use the funds for.
Therefore, as soon as the news of Weixin's acquisition of Foxmail came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention from the outside world.
At present, mailbox technology is a major focus of competition among major portals, and it is not yet possible to say which one has more advantages.
And Weixin entered the game at this time, and it was also regarded by the media as a taste of wanting to compete.
Regarding the speculation from the outside world, Su Wen did not specifically ask people to clarify, because he did have the intention of competing with the three major portals for the field of mailboxes.
After completing the acquisition of Foxmail, Su Wen not only asked Xu Gangwu to rush to South Korea to negotiate a project, but also prepared to solve the problem of the shortage of WeChat personnel.
After the acquisition of Foxmail, Zhang Xiaolong joined with his entire team, but there were only fifteen people.
With the addition of the original employees of WeChat, the total number is less than 120 people, and its development has been seriously constrained.
In addition, Su Wen has asked Xu Gangwu to go to South Korea to negotiate the project, if the negotiation is completed, the problem of staff shortage is even more imminent!
It is now mid-January, and the Chinese New Year will only be celebrated in mid-February this year, and after the New Year, there will be a wave of employment.
Su Wen also set his sights on this wave of employment, hoping to alleviate the current dilemma of WeChat.
At present, among the domestic Internet companies, Weixin has become a star-level Internet company, even compared with the three major portals, it is not too much.
It's just that when it comes to attracting talents, because Weixin is located in Jiangzhou, and most of the computer talents are gathered in Yanjing, it is much worse than the three major portals.
Su Wen also understood Ding Sanshi's mentality of why he desperately wanted to move Wangyi to Yanjing, the capital of IT, in addition to increasing exposure and recruiting talents, will never face difficulties.
Su Wen has no plans to move Weixin from Jiangzhou for the time being, because staying in Jiangzhou is not completely without any benefits, at least compared to the crowded Yanjing, Weixin in Jiangzhou, can get more policy inclination.
At present, Su Wen can think of the simplest and crudest way to recruit talents, which is to greatly increase the salary and benefits to attract excellent IT talents to join!
Although five insurances and one housing fund have been implemented since 98, at present, only state-owned enterprises and civil servants have them in China.
Su Wen plans to make Weixin the first Internet company to have this benefit!
In addition, in terms of salary, employees will also get a significant increase, even compared with the three major portals, it will be 15% higher!
As soon as this move of Weixin was announced, it immediately attracted a lot of criticism.
Because Weixin has pulled up a large part of the industry's revenue.
In particular, only state-owned enterprises and civil servants can enjoy five social insurances and one housing fund, which makes Internet practitioners whether they are on the job or not, focus on WeChat.
And the reason why Su Wen released such a high welfare and salary package all of a sudden was purely helpless, and he was completely forced by a shortage of personnel.
Su Wen doesn't want to recruit everyone, so he can only attract outstanding talents in these industries by offering high salaries and benefits.
However, as soon as the benefits and remuneration of Weixin came out, it also caused many Internet companies to denounce it, saying that it was a blatant act of digging up the wall to destroy the order of the industry and make people's hearts float.
Su Wen does not deny this, but natural selection, if you have the strength, you can also open a higher salary, otherwise what kind of salary does Weixin want to offer, you don't need other companies to worry!
In addition, these salaries and benefits of Weixin came out, and immediately became a benchmark in the Internet industry, not to mention whether the strength has surpassed the three major portals, but in terms of salary and benefits, it has far exceeded the three major portals!
During this time, there were many people who came to inquire, and there were also many people who sent emails to Weixin to inquire.
Su Wen asked Wu Xiaoguang to strictly control this aspect, otherwise it will be easy to invite God and difficult to send God in the future.
