Chapter 556: MSN Bodyguard
Bill said a lot, and Buffett listened carefully all the time, until finally, Buffett finally stretched out his right hand and shook it with Bill, "Okay, we're going to be friends." ”
The road to market expansion has never been a process of self-development of the company. The world's leading companies, in order to expand their influence and defeat the potential competitors, have traditionally invested in the acquisition of their products instead of improving the competitiveness of their products.
Often, such business activities are incomparable to other weak and small companies.
Just like the Chinese network in later generations, the Chinese network directly belongs to Shanda Company.
In 2008, Shanda began its expansion. Originally, the CEO of Shanda Literature. His direct way is to further expand the business of Chinese Internet and open more online literature channels. For example, some platinum-level writers were sent to Germany to participate in cultural exhibitions...... Until the end. The CEO of Shanda Literature finally realized how slow it was to rely on the development of his own business. Since then, Shanda Literature has changed its previous style and started large-scale acquisitions.
Like Jinjiang novels, red sleeves add fragrance, and novels read chaff nets...... These well-known stations, during this period of time, joined the banner of Shanda Literature. Since then, Shanda Literature has unified the online literature of the Central People's Republic of China, and has realized the super hegemony of Shanda Literature in online literature.
I have to say that these acquisitions are of great significance. Like Microsoft, when FETIO appeared, Bill was able to make a decision and launch an acquisition plan, and this kind of vision is not known to be many times higher than others.
On the same day, after Bill left Buffett's residence, Microsoft MSN released an important message.
"Microsoft holds a 40% stake in FETTIO and will hold a shareholders' meeting in the near future to re-establish its board of directors."
The article reported that Microsoft recently completed equity conversion agreements with a number of fund companies, and ...... In the end, he withdrew from Warren Buffett and bought the last 10% stake in FETIO for $1 billion: at this point, Microsoft directly owns 40% of FETTIO. According to the current information of various funds, Microsoft has become a major shareholder of FETTIO and will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in the near future to discuss the issue of board seats.
The top leader of a company is not the CEO or the chairman, but the full board of directors. Now, Microsoft can directly mention the board seats, even if they don't want to take over the company in full, I am afraid, they also want to control the company in the strategic direction.
When the news broke, the world was shaken.
Many media said...... "FETIO company, which has been the hottest company recently, has been 40% controlled by Microsoft." With the current share capital, FETIO is likely to become a subsidiary of Microsoft. ”
In this world, whoever has more shares is the boss, even if it is the country, he can't interfere. Many media commentators pointed out that "this is the most intelligent operation of Microsoft since the launch of the operating system." ”
Because, they analyzed, with the development of instant messaging, more and more things, he has to rely on instant messaging. At present, although MSN is one of the world's three major instant messaging software, there is still a big difference between his market share and Tang Dynasty TT: moreover, Microsoft does not have an excellent Internet network, which will suffer very much in the future Internet road. From Microsoft's recent operation, we already know that Microsoft's determination to enter the Internet should be very large.
If the acquisition of FETIO goes well, FETIO will be merged into MSN, and according to Microsoft's strategy, MSN software will be closely integrated with FETIO software to share resource advantages. In this case, on the one hand, MSN can expand the original instant messaging market, and on the other hand, it can also allow FETIO software to enter the world-class instant messaging market in a short period of time.
It may not be long before the market of TT in the Tang Dynasty surpasses that of the Tang Dynasty.
"Microsoft gives ......"
"No, it's a miracle."
"Hand of God:"
This is the voice of netizens.
Because, they really can't believe it.
Originally, the outbreak of FETIO in a short period of time was already an incredible thing. However, within a few days, FETIO let its rival Microsoft buy it. Perhaps, it was the Tang Dynasty Company that acquired the company plus people, and it is not surprising to everyone. After all, Tang Dynasty Company has given others too much shock, but this time, it was Microsoft that has always had a bad reputation when he acquired FETIO. ,
Well, we don't really like Microsoft though.
But we also want to praise, "This acquisition is really beautiful." ”
Many netizens commented on this matter from time to time
"Mr. Chen, it went smoothly, and the major fund companies did not leak any news."
"Okay, continue to smooth the ...... as planned"
Yes, this time the FETIO company was established by the Tang Dynasty company. However, in order to attract the attention of Microsoft, Tang Dynasty Company secretly entrusted others to register a company called FETIO: of course, this Ding, the company, has nothing to do with Tang Dynasty Company. Moreover, in order to diversify the shares. Tang Dynasty also took advantage of the Tang Dynasty Quantum Fund to cooperate with other fund companies and invested in FETIO one after another.
Although, now Microsoft has acquired a 40% stake in FETIO. However, all of these 40% shares were given to them by Chen Jiayi. Of course, the reason for ceding to Microsoft is not that Tang Dynasty is stupid, but that it is entirely to introduce Microsoft into the bureau:
It's called putting a long line and catching big fish.
If you don't give up some share capital, how can you attract the attention of Microsoft.
However, after the launch of Feixin, the situation that immediately swept the world was also something that Chen Jiayi did not expect: in later generations, Feixin was launched by China Mobile. Although it did receive a lot of attention when it was launched, in the later promotion process, because of the monopoly of Tencent instant messaging, Fetion did not get much development.
It's just that after it was launched now, in a short period of time, it has swept the whole world.
Carefully analyzed, such an outbreak seems to be related to the promotion of Tang Dynasty companies. However, just when Chen Jiayi thought it was related to promotion, Chen Jiayi shook his head again and denied the idea. After all, the three major instant messaging have now monopolized the world's communication market: some other instant messaging is simply not possible to enter directly.
For this reason, Chen Jiayi looked at the information in front of him again;
These materials are all used by some netizens.
The first point, from the content of the information, we see: What attracts many users and friends is that Feixin can send text messages for free, and of course, there are also netizens who rush for a low discount on phone bills...... So as to make and. In fact, the phone bill is more preferential than the original, and many people think that this is a real discount: but, in terms of the real effect, he is not.
We know that judging from the later telecommunications surveys. The level of the phone bill determines the user's consumption: when the phone bill is high, the user's call time is significantly reduced. And when telecom mobile companies adopt more preferential packages, we find that their talk time has increased significantly.
For example, in the case that the phone bill has not been reduced, I use less, and the phone bill for the month is 50 yuan: however, after some discounts, the phone bill is reduced. However, because of the decrease in phone bills, my phone bill and call time have increased significantly. After calculating, the amount of phone bills for a month is still 50 yuan...... :
You talk for a longer time, a little shorter, and there is little difference in cost for these telcos and mobile companies. They can't wait for you to call more, so they are willing to give up these offers. Just like this Feixin, communication on the computer, especially those who make phone porridge, will increase the talk time indefinitely. Perhaps, due to the reduction in call costs, their monthly phone bill will increase a lot.
All of these are very possible.
It seems that this is the key to the real success of Fetion:
This is a direct step further than the Feixin pushed out by the later generations, that is, to turn on the call function: the future mobile has only accepted free text messages from users, and does not accept the call function: but from the current point of view, it is obvious that the future mobile, he is a little too petty. He did not expect that when the phone bill was greatly reduced, the user's spending power would increase exponentially.
In addition, there is also a very important reason why Fetion can spread so quickly to the world. From these investigation records, Chen Jiayi has seen it. Many users have given great praise to the simple operation of Fetion. They believe that Fetion is simple and practical, and it is more convenient than instant messaging.
Yes, before the launch of Fetion, learn from the experience of later generations of mobile to launch Fetion. When Chen Jiayi developed Feixin, he put forward some opinions. One of the most important of these comments is that you don't need to go through verification to add friends. In other words, you can chat with whomever you want to chat with or text with, enter your mobile phone number directly, and you can do it. ,
The advantage of this effect is that everyone can operate it, and everyone will think that this is simple:
On the other hand, in later generations, the country of China did not do well in this regard. Probably, when China Mobile launched Feixin, it was greatly affected by instant messaging. They believe that adding a friend to chat and the like need to be verified and the other party agrees, which can be increased. But...... In fact, Feixin, although he is an instant messenger, but he is not so simple as instant messaging:
If you want to use the image metaphor, that is, Feixin, he is a mobile phone instant messaging software.
For a mobile phone, it has to be distinguished from a computer.
Because, we know, we use mobile phones to communicate: in general, you know the other party's phone number, then, you can call him directly or send a text message directly: where to get any verification, if before making a call, everyone has to add each other as friends, it is not troublesome.
In later generations, the setting of mobile Fetion was much more complicated.
For example, they have to choose to add each other as friends. If the other party does not have Feixin, he only uses his mobile phone. Then, when you want to add him as a friend, the system will send a verification message directly to the other person. The other party will receive a message to verify the friend, but for many friends who don't know much about this aspect of the business:
Seriously, a lot of people don't know how much business mobile has. When they received a friend request from Mobile, most of them chose to ignore it or delete it directly.
Unless, when you add him as a friend, use your phone to discuss it with him first......
With such a troublesome matter, Chen Jiayi will definitely not let him continue to exist:
In this way, Chen Jiayi will add friends to each other and completely remove it. Although, perhaps in the future, with the development of Fetion, because there is no need to add friends, there may be more and more harassing text messages, which will be born at any time: however, it is completely unnecessary to consider that step now.
Now Feixin, as long as the unilateral unlimited expansion of users, that is.
Of course, then again. If by then, there are a lot of harassing text messages born. That has proved that Fetion has become popular all over the world, and has gained a foothold. Then, at that time, it is okay to directly restrict those harassing text messages.
A few days later, Microsoft held Yao's FETTIO shares and forcibly convened a shareholders' meeting, and. At the general meeting of shareholders of FETIO, the seats on the board of directors represented by Microsoft msn were elected. In addition, throughout the shareholders' meeting, Microsoft used its public relations power to unite a number of other shareholders, all of whom supported Microsoft's side. So far, the number of shares of Microsoft and the consortium has reached more than 50%, and it has become the new owner of FETIO.
With such a number of holdings, although for the time being, Microsoft has not announced the merger of FETIO into Microsoft, all aspects of operation remain unchanged. There is no mention of Fetio as a subsidiary of Microsoft. However, to the outside world, FETIO is already Microsoft.
"Microsoft is starting to rise, is the world ready?"
If you talk about Microsoft, you will only talk about its operating system, then, now Microsoft, it has long been more than just an operating system. The world has maintained a great deal of innovation with this new FETIO software. Microsoft acquires it, perhaps, in the Internet field, Microsoft will officially start to enter.
News like this, many media, expressed strong American attention.
We all know that in order to develop Microsoft's operating system, before, he did not pay attention to the Internet aspect. Until, when he realized that the Internet was promising, he lost the best time to enter it: it was only then that Microsoft showed its edge.
However, one would think that a behemoth like Microsoft would be. It's good that he didn't enter the Internet before, but now he buys Fetio, and when in the future, he will use the monopoly of the operating system, and maybe, he will have the same monopoly as his operating system, a world monopoly. However, this is fine, after all, the Internet media all over the world now look at it. If there is a strong competitor at this time, it is undoubtedly a very good phenomenon for the development of the world Internet.
This one is ready and said to be the world, but the most prepared person is not someone else, but the Tang Dynasty Company. ,
Tang Dynasty Company, the world's No. 1 instant messaging provider: Before this, he had no competitors, and even if there were competitors, they would all be eliminated by Tang Dynasty Company at lightning speed. The emergence of Fetio and the status of TT in the Tang Dynasty have shaken the foundation of the Tang Dynasty company.
Moreover, the emergence of FETIO is not the development of a small company. Instead, he has a super strong consciousness and quickly absorbs world capital, which provides a powerful driving force for his rapid development. In this way, FETIO was able to rise rapidly under the pressure of all parties.
With Feito's development strategy, any other company can't imitate it.
"We are looking forward to the reaction of Tang Dynasty Company, but we don't know how Tang Dynasty Company will respond this time."
Many times, the Tang Dynasty Company has given the world one miracle after another: and many times, everyone thinks that the Tang Dynasty Company is simply the embodiment of God. Until this time, in the face of the development of FETIO Company, Tang Dynasty Company did not know what to do. If they still keep their previous words, believing that the FETIO software is not likely to be popular all over the world, then, obviously, their previous strategy has been completely wrong.
Even, under the ignorance of the Tang Dynasty company, Microsoft has already launched an action. I have to say that this is the biggest mistake Tang Dynasty company has made for so long. Until now, even if it has been a powerful Tang Dynasty company, many people still do not agree with his countermeasures:
Especially for those economic analysts, they believe that the excellent performance of FETIO has made it impossible for any company to have any obstacles. LOOK, THE AMOUNT OF FETIO SOFTWARE GROWING EVERY DAY, HE IS SIMPLY TERRIFYING. With this amount of growth, he has cultivated the momentum of FETIO software.
It is impossible for any enterprise to touch him.
It's just that after everyone is looking forward to it, or questioning the actions of the Tang Dynasty company. Within a few days, a subsidiary of Tang Dynasty Company, that is, Tang Dynasty Guard, suddenly released an update announcement: on the update content, in addition to repairing the Tang Dynasty Guard interface more perfectly, it also added a new function for Tang Dynasty Guard.
This one function, his name, is called MSN bodyguard:
