Chapter 934: QQ Level Wonderful
In people's eyes, Lu Shaohua is a strong person, and the fact is that Lu Shaohua is indeed very strong, but sometimes, Lu Shaohua has to let go of his strength and occasionally give up a small step. Just like Phoenix Tencent, Lu Shaohua gave up a small step and only held 80% of Phoenix Tencent's shares.
I think that when Lu Shaohua found Ma Huateng to develop QQ, he thought that it would be okay to let QQ stand in China like in his previous life, but what Lu Shaohua never expected was that Microsoft, Dell, IBM, and Apple came to the door.
Microsoft even used their instant messaging software to frame the Phoenix Group, so that Lu Shaohua could publicize it after seeing through it, and Microsoft's instant messaging software was completely abolished, so that Phoenix Tencent had a bright future.
Needless to say, Phoenix Tencent's development speed is extremely fast, Cheng Xiang is spreading, out of control, quickly gaining a firm foothold around the world, and then has occupied a huge share of the global market.
It has been three or four years since the launch of Phoenix Tencent, and in the past three or four years, the number of registered users has grown from tens of thousands, to hundreds of thousands, to millions, to today's billions, which is simply a miracle.
There are more registered users, which means that there are more users who use them, and when they reach a certain amount, Lu Shaohua asked Ma Huateng to join the membership system, the membership is ten yuan RMB, and in other countries, the pricing is not the same, like in the United States, the membership price is 2 US dollars a month, in the United Kingdom it is 1 pound, and in Europe it is 1.5 euros.
Don't underestimate only a little money, in Europe, there are too many rich people, and it is a piece of cake for them to buy a membership, so almost a little necessary user will open a membership, and once it is opened, it is an annual package, and dozens of dollars are handed over together.
A user is dozens of dollars a year, which doesn't seem to be much, but, gathered into a lot of people, there are more people who open it, and it is a terrifying number when it is gathered, no, Phoenix Tencent's annual income has reached a terrifying number, and the market is rising again and again, and it has broken through the 10 billion dollar mark.
Ma Huateng couldn't have imagined that he just accepted Lu Shaohua's invitation with a trial attitude, but in the blink of an eye, it was only a few years, and there were billions of dollars around him.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as getting rich overnight, but Ma Huateng knows that all this was given to him by Lu Shaohua, oh, no, if you are honest, the billions of dollars were given to him by Lu Shaohua for nothing.
Therefore, Ma Huateng cares about everything about Phoenix Tencent, and does his best to do everything, hoping to satisfy Lu Shaohua, of course, if Lu Shaohua has any instructions, as long as there are no drawbacks, Ma Huateng will accept it directly without even thinking about it.
However, it seems that none of Lu Shaohua's suggestions to Phoenix Tencent so far have drawbacks, and some are only interests. This made Ma Huateng more convinced of Lu Shaohua.
Maybe it's because Ma Huateng believes in Lu Shaohua, or maybe Ma Huateng thinks that Lu Shaohua gave him billions of dollars for nothing, and he should be grateful, so when he heard that Lu Shaohua was coming, he almost didn't even eat lunch, just waited in the office, and at the same time notified the employees outside, once he found out that Lu Shaohua was coming, notify him immediately, and he would go to greet him.
Lu Shaohua naturally didn't know that the atmosphere in Phoenix Tencent was tense, he was only eating lunch leisurely at the moment, slowly, not in a hurry at all, until one o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Shaohua took Lu Shaopeng to the floor where Phoenix Tencent was located.
Yes, Lu Shaopeng also inspected with Lu Shaohua this time, and Lu Shaopeng had nothing to do with him, but in order to let Lu Shaopeng adapt to the working atmosphere of the Phoenix Group first, Lu Shaohua still brought Lu Shaopeng to adapt to the atmosphere first, and at the same time, let Lu Shaopeng have a long insight.
Phoenix Tencent is on the 18th floor of the Phoenix Building in Shenzhen, occupying a good location, and the number of floors is also very auspicious, but when Lu Shaohua stepped into the door of the 18th floor, it was full of excitement inside.
Don't get me wrong, it's not noisy, it's just lively, because the place where you enter the gate is the business office hall of Phoenix Tencent, where people work 24 hours a day, and every office will be full of employees at work.
The reason why it is lively is completely caused by the atmosphere of the office, Lu Shaohua stepped into the door less than three seconds, and heard at least ten phone calls, which shows how busy the employees are.
Lu Shaohua nodded secretly, very satisfied with this atmosphere, and glanced around, Lu Shaohua walked inside and started his real inspection trip.
Not long after Lu Shaohua stepped into the 18th floor, Ma Huateng, the person in charge of Phoenix Tencent, had already received the news, and hurriedly walked out of the office in the deepest part of the floor, accompanied by the two deputy general managers of Phoenix Tencent and the head of the public relations department.
The public relations department is in charge of the outside, but what many people don't know is that the public relations department actually has a responsibility, that is, it is responsible for the introduction, like a tour guide, if there are senior executives or important people of the company to visit, then the public relations department is responsible for being a tour guide in addition to reception.
Lu Shaohua's identity is undoubtedly the most precious and high-minded, so when he came, the minister of the public relations department had to personally come forward to receive and explain to Lu Shaohua the situation of Phoenix Tencent.
"Hello chairman!"
………… Everyone greeted Lu Shaohua one by one, and the word respect was written on their faces.
Lu Shaohua deserves so much respect from them, who made Lu Shaohua their boss. And Lu Shaohua has obviously seen this kind of scene, but he didn't panic, his face was very flat, he nodded lightly, and said. "Let's talk about the general situation of Phoenix Tencent now."
"Yes." Ma Huateng nodded, always with a charming smile on his face, and then introduced in a concise tone. "Now Phoenix Tencent's QQ chat software has spread to all parts of the world, as long as there is a network, there is our QQ, and Phoenix Tencent Information has set up servers in almost every country, opened our information home website, and because QQ users are at most, resulting in high traffic on the information website, now in the information area, we are already the first."
"Also, some time ago, we launched an important initiative, the official opening of four diamonds, by the same good level, the opening of users is constantly rising, conservative estimates, all the users of the four diamonds are expected to exceed 10 million, and only open a diamond of users may exceed 100 million, as for two diamonds and three diamonds, the data will be different." Speaking of this, Ma Huateng paused, and then continued. "In the membership area, because it was opened relatively early, it already has a huge number of regular users to buy, plus new users, so far, the statistics of users have reached more than 230 million users."
QQ chat software is free, it doesn't seem to be profitable, but don't underestimate it, members and four diamonds come out, the speed of making money is no different from the money printing machine, plus the advertising income of the homepage, every year's income is an astronomical amount.
"Hmm." Lu Shaohua nodded, indicating that he had heard it, and then asked lightly. "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Yes." Ma Huateng was very simple, his face immediately turned into a gloomy cloud, and he said with some concern. "So far, we have opened the purchase of four diamonds + membership business, many users just look good, and there is no fundamental effect, so if it continues, once the novelty passes, then the user power of the purchase will be reduced."
As Ma Huateng said, users who buy Four Diamonds + membership are just for the sake of good looks, and there is not much practical surname, and once this novelty passes, then no one will buy it.
However, this problem may be a difficult problem for Ma Huateng, but for Lu Shaohua, who has seen Ma Huateng's methods in the previous life, it is not a big problem. "You can start with this aspect, for example, QQ has launched a level system, relying on online time to calculate the level, and those who buy members can accelerate the improvement of the level, aren't those practical!"
QQ level, etc.,In the previous life,The system was also pushed out in 2002.,When it first started,,It's just timing to count the level.,And members don't have the role of accelerating upgrades.,Until 2009,Members have the role of accelerating upgrades.。
Lu Shaohua let members accelerate the upgrade in advance, in addition to making members more useful, and then there is a sales method, Lu Shaohua is sure that once the level system appears, members can accelerate the level increase, it is estimated that more users will open members.
Ma Huateng has been listening quietly, and when Lu Shaohua finished speaking, Ma Huateng thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and he glanced at Lu Shaohua, his face was full of surprise, and said. "I'll start working on a hierarchy system right away."
"Hmm." Lu Shaohua smiled faintly and said. "As for the four diamonds, you can also work hard in this area, anyway, let the four diamonds + members not only look good, but also practical, so that the number of people who open will not be less and less, but more and more."
Yes, in Lu Shaohua's memory, it seems that later QQ got a member VIP level, what VIP1, VIP2, the speed of each level is different, and many users desperately renew the VIP level, the purpose is to make QQ's level rise faster.
However, users don't know that this is a means of Ma Huateng, the purpose is to let regular users add more and make more money.
However, Lu Shaohua had already given his opinion, and he also believed that Ma Huateng would do all this well, so he didn't say much at the moment, waved his hand, and said. "Alright, let's start looking at the company."
