As long as there is the slightest problem in the Tang Dynasty, then there may be one of the most serious information crises in the world.

"Do we need to get an IQ bodyguard for IQ?"

mn, this is how it was pulled into the water by the Tang Dynasty company, naturally, iq, it seems that the same method can be used. However, Chen Jiayi did not agree with such an approach. He shook his head and said directly, "We just had a big battle with MN, if we provoke IQ again, even if IQ is eliminated, it will make our Tang Dynasty Company's reputation plummet." This method can only be used once, and then again, at least after people forget about it......"

"Mr. Chen, if you don't use this unconventional method, although IQ's market share is lower, their users are the same as MN, and they are very large. In general, it will not accept our Tang Dynasty easily. Moreover, in this war, IQ also took the opportunity to fall into the well and take over a certain part of MN users. ”

IQ was originally developed by the Sè Lie, but in 1998 it was acquired by AOL for nearly $300 million. Therefore, IQ and MN are both American products. During this period of war, there are some MN users, and they have also chosen domestic instant messaging software.

"Hehe, unconventional methods can certainly achieve surprising results, but if you develop a general trend, even if you directly state your intentions, others will still have to surrender."

Chen Jiayi's favorite is not a trick, nor is it a trick. What he likes the most is to develop his own momentum. As long as the general trend is cultivated, even if everyone in the world knows your words and actions in the future. However, this sentence is like the king's order, the government is all over the world, and no one can file it.

The Tang Dynasty is now defeating MN, just taking advantage of the victory to chase the opportunity, and by taking advantage of the king's spirit that has just been shown, he forced IQ to commit. He didn't believe it, little IQ, he could withstand the prestige of the Tang Dynasty company.

Hearing this, Zhao Danyang realized.

And under the influence of this sentence, Zhao Danyang slowly cultivated his own master style from the original edge. In the future, this business genius was in the days of leading the Tang Dynasty information. Although on weekdays, there is nothing surprising. However, Zhao Danyang was slowly running his plan step by step during this period of time. Just like he is slowly adding bricks and tiles by himself, he can't see anything at first, but after a while, when you look at it again, he has built a high-rise building.

IQ Headquarters, USA.

Today, IQ headquarters is constantly busy.

"Hey, guys, cheer up a bit."

"Wenli", the president of IQ, slapped his face and reminded everyone.

"Yes, b, we've always been in good spirits."

They each looked at each other, and they knew that in a while, a guest from the East was coming to IQ.

"Very well, I just like your bearing. You have to remember that when that guy is here, we have to show our QQ style. Let that guy know, although our IQ is not as good as them for the time being. But let's also show that we're also the third, nay, second-largest instant messaging app provider in the world. ”

"B, don't worry."

"That's good."

Winley smiled, then sat aside, waiting for someone to arrive.

It's just that, who knows, this seemingly calm IQ president, his heart is more nervous than anyone else. Because, the guest who arrived from the East today is none other than Chen Jiayi, who has just fought hard with Microsoft. And Chen Jiayi came to IQ today, although for the time being, Chen Jiayi did not spit out anything. However, Winley had vaguely guessed......

It's just that Wen Li doesn't want to believe Chen Jiayi's intention to come here.

He recalled in his mind the development of IQ in recent years, and the rapid performance was achieved by the Tang Dynasty using Renren, Baidu, and other international Internet platforms. Later, it overtook MN and IQ, and became the N1 of global instant messaging. However, because of the great attack of the Tang Dynasty, IQ, which was most likely to become the world's No. 1, has been decreasing its market share.

Therefore, in such a situation, Wenli and its IQ executives have launched a new decision. This decision, that is, since they can't expand the market, then they will launch a variety of different businesses in the current market to keep the temporary market. This strategy has been developed to the present, and has been supported by many IQ users, and from the perspective of annual report performance, it has also been growing in profitability because of the launch of various businesses.

In this regard, Wenli is still happy. Thinking of this, Wen Li's heart became cheerful. secretly said in his heart, even if Chen Jiayi of the Tang Dynasty Company came in person, what fear would they have? , "Chen Jia arrived. ”

At this time, I don't know which one shouted, Wen Li was startled, and then stood up.

"Has Chen Jiayi of the Tang Dynasty Company arrived?"

"Yes."

"Let's go out to meet you."

Subsequently, Wen Li began to take the lead, leading a group of IQ executives to the door of IQ headquarters, waiting for Chen Jiayi's arrival. After a while, I saw an extended "Lincoln" sedan slowly passing by in the distance. It didn't stop until we got close to the IQ Building. Then, in the middle of the Lincoln carriage, a young man in a white sè tunic, stepped straight down from the car. The majesty of the expression is not angry, and the majesty of the world.

"Welcome friends from afar, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Wenli."

"Hello, I'm Chen Jiayi."

The person who came was Chen Jiayi of the Tang Dynasty Company, and this time, he was ready to go out in person.

Of course, from the moment Chen Jia got off the bus, countless media who heard the news have been pouring in. All kinds of image equipment are flashing straight at Chen Jiayi and at IQ President "Wenli". Moreover, there are even more scrambling reporters to press all over the line, wanting to interview Chen Jiayi as soon as possible.

"Hello, Chen, can you tell me about the purpose of this trip?"

Every time Chen Jiayi came to the United States, he brought a lot of changes to the United States. This time, the same, is no exception. Many world media, including countless American media, have speculated about the purpose of Chen Jiayi's visit to IQ. Some media predicted that Tang Dynasty Company might be pitting that IQ again, after all, MN was pitted by Tang Dynasty Company like this. Then, if Tang Dynasty Company wants to complete the hegemony of dominating the world, the next goal is definitely IQ. Judging from the recent style of Tang Dynasty Company, it is estimated that this arrival is definitely IQ's nightmare...... Perhaps, IQ and we, when we wake up from a nightmare, we will never know.

"Of course, I want to start a friendly cooperation with IQ."

Chen Jiayi said with a smile.

"Cooperation, huh?"

Ladies and gentlemen, how can you believe what Chen Jiayi said?

"Yes, you don't have to doubt it. Well, after we've worked with IQ in a moment, we'll talk about it in more detail. ”

Subsequently, Chen Jiayi and his party from Tang Dynasty Company entered the IQ headquarters with IQ members.

IQ Meeting Room.

The representatives of IQ and Tang Dynasty Company sat down in turn on the left and right. And, after a few casual cold words, I went straight to the point. And the first to start is not their IQ, but Chen Jiayi.

"I've heard that IQ has been making good profits in recent years."

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles. Chen Jiayi has always paid attention to the development of IQ. In particular, after IQ was threatened by the Tang Dynasty Company and MN at that time, it made a huge change. Until now, this change has seen some effects. At least, in terms of profitability, it is already very good.

"Thank you, I think, your company's Tang Dynasty is the real profit."

The base determines profitability, even if the Tang Dynasty did not launch so many profitable businesses. However, after all, Tang Dynasty has the largest user base in the world, and even if he has less profitable business, his profitability is also eye-catching.

"Where, where, I think, IQ and Tang Dynasty, each has strengths. We in the Tang Dynasty, perhaps, also have to learn how IQ expands its business. ”

This is naturally a joke, with Chen Jiayi's understanding of instant messaging in later generations, how could he not know that it was profitable. Like a large number of red diamonds, green diamonds, and purple diamonds in later generations of Tencent...... and QQ games, which is the best way to make money. On the other hand, although IQ's business is doing well, compared with Chen Jiayi's business strategy, it is not enough to see at all. The reason why some charging items "Chen Jiayi" were not launched so quickly is entirely to expand the market.

When he did not monopolize the world market, Chen Jiayi's goal of giving information to the Tang Dynasty has always been to expand the market.

"yes, that's a real pleasure."

An avant-garde American, how did he know that this was Chen Jiayi's joke.

Wenli also thought that IQ's business expansion ability really attracted Chen Jiayi.

Of course, Wen Li's answer made Chen Jiayi laugh secretly, but he still continued to talk about their business with "Wen Li", directly praising them as one of the most profitable companies in the world. And Wen Li them, when have they received such praise. Moreover, it is the first person on the Internet to praise them, "Chen Jiayi". In the meantime, in the past half an hour, they have been directly praised in the clouds, and their hearts have drifted.

It's just that at this time, Chen Jia changed his words, and then said with a laugh, "I'm thinking, with IQ's business capabilities, coupled with the number of users of Tang Dynasty Company, it will definitely be able to unify the world, what do you think?" "I think it's a genius idea. ”

Wen Li didn't seem to wake up until now, but followed Chen Jiayi's words and nodded obviously. In his opinion, IQ has such a business expansion ability, and Tang Dynasty Information has so many instant messaging users. Obviously, the two can work well together. It's just that, at this moment, Wen Li was shocked in his heart, "What does that unified global mean?" ”

"Acquisition."

The word acquisition instantly went straight to Wenli's mind.

Before Chen Jia came to IQ, Wen Li thought of this word. In his opinion, the ambition of the Tang Dynasty company is so great that he will definitely not meet the needs of the world's largest instant messaging. His vision will definitely be on the whole world. So, after destroying the MN, the next target is them. It's just that Wenli has been reluctant to mention this word.

He didn't know that when Chen Jiayi said this word, he didn't know how to refuse. Because, judging by the recent developments of IQ. Although IQ's profitability has been growing, how many people know that the number of IQ users has not increased much when the Internet information is highly developed.

For an instant messaging platform with no user growth, he is absolutely going to die. Now it looks like IQ is still very young. But what happens to this group of users when they get old, or when they get middle-aged and don't use IQ much?

It's just that even if he knows this clearly, Wen Li doesn't want to show it.

"You're talking about acquisitions?"

"Let's just say that, in fact, I've always seen him as a collaboration, just a change in shares."

Chen Jiayi replied calmly.

"N, our IQ has been developing very well and has never had the intention of selling."

"yes, but I think IQ can think about it now."

This consideration is naturally to consider selling.

Now IQ is really moving towards the old road of the future. In later generations, IQ was acquired by AOL for nearly $300 million. AOL was nothing more than taking a fancy to IQ's instant messaging capabilities, and, at that time, there were no companies competing with him in the global market. In between, IQ was able to sell at a high price. However, it was not until 2010 that IQ was acquired again.

Perhaps, after more than ten years of development, you will think that IQ at that time should be more valuable. Anyway, there must be a 10 billion, or billions of dollars. However, this idea could not be more wrong. In its second acquisition in 2010, IQ only sold 1. $800 million. In the past ten years, IQ has not only not appreciated the value of AOL, but on the contrary, it has not even recovered the cost price at the time of acquisition. Moreover, if you take into account factors such as price appreciation, the IQ acquired by AOL may have lost billions of dollars.

"Don't you think, Mr. Wenli, that IQ will not be able to generate much profit if it develops for a few more years?"

At this time, Chen Jiayi said directly.

In later generations, many people have been calling for the development of IQ.

They couldn't understand why the world's first instant messaging software, he actually came to such a point. After summing up, people finally know. IQ's decline is not without reason. In the past ten years of development, IQ's strategy is too low-level.

For example, in the early stage of IQ's development, the single release version was the biggest problem.

At that time, IQ did not pay attention to the markets of other countries, so it only launched an English version in the world. But we know that the language of the world, which is so simple as English. As a result, IQ's own development has also brought opportunities to other local instant messaging software. In the early days of China, a large part of the popularity of QQ was caused by the lack of a Chinese version of IQ. At that time, there was no Chinese patch, and many people in China suffered from IQ's English interface, so when QQ was listed, many people directly abandoned IQ.

Even if the Tang Dynasty does not appear, IQ, he will also make himself enter old age prematurely because of this one reason.

Secondly, since the last time IQ was influenced by the Tang Dynasty and MN, it has also made a big mistake in its future strategy. This mistake is to keep burying your head in expanding your business without considering user growth. Although this strategy has allowed IQ to remain profitable in previous years, with the rise of new users, IQ has slowly declined.

At the same time, with the update of the version, the IQ program is so large that too many features are barely used, and these integrated features seem to be a hodgepodge of unrelated features most of the time. And for the average user, these large and useless features are of no other use than to increase the difficulty of use. Although AOL noticed this after the integration of IM and IQ, and made adjustments in the past period of time, without introducing large-scale expansion functions, and made a simplified version of IQLIE, it was too late. , two simple reasons, but how many people know?

Therefore, IQ has entered the deep pool under these two reasons. Until later generations, even Tencent, which imitated IQ in the early stage of development, ran away when it learned that IQ wanted to sell. Consult directly with the United States Online, I heard that your IQ is going to be sold, we can buy it.

Yes, in the case of Tencent's super large company with a market value of more than 50 billion yuan, it is not a problem to pay only one or two hundred million dollars. Although, later, IQ was not sold to Tencent, but to a Russian company. But from this extremely depressing phenomenon, it can be seen that the development of IQ in later generations should be what kind of cups.

Just like the current Wenli, when Chen Jiayi mentioned that IQ's future profits could not grow, Wenli's direct reaction was surprised and unbelievable. did not refute Chen Jiayi's words, perhaps, on the one hand, they admired the strategic vision of Tang Dynasty Company, on the other hand, they did not know how IQ should go in the future.

When Chen Jiayi said this, not only Wen Li, but even the entire IQ members, they had nothing to say. Because, they also know the situation of IQ now. It's just that they don't know how to deal with it. In particular, when the Tang Dynasty information war MN was over, they did not know how to compete with the Tang Dynasty information.

"This ...... We think about it. ”

"Haha, Mr. Wenli, do you want to ask AOL for instructions?"

IQ has been acquired by AOL, and even if Wenli is the president of IQ, he does not have the right to sell IQ. However, Chen Jiayi didn't let Wen Li think too much, "I think the meaning of your headquarters should be the same." There's an acquisition proposal here, and we're willing to pay $1 billion to acquire IQ. Remember, it's $1 billion. If you refuse, I think, in a year's time, when you negotiate again, we are only willing to pay $100 million. ”RO@。
