Chapter 385: Unicorn

In another world, WeChat Penguin belongs to the same company, and the competition between the two belongs to internal competition, and no matter what the result is, the meat is rotten in the same pot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Du Jiayi had a foresight, but he felt that the WeChat model was very powerful, so he let the project team of Yijia Network develop it in advance. Who would have thought that Penguin and Yijia would have a social grudge to the point of dying.

WeChat took advantage of the trend and began to compete with Penguin, a software that was originally the same source.

Advertising and the introduction of Yijia Weibo users have brought a huge number of users to WeChat. So how to keep these users depends on WeChat's own ability.

Anyone who has ever used a penguin must know that the penguin ties almost everything to the penguin client. From penguin music, a variety of games, as well as bricks of various colors, members.

Penguin's client looks too bloated for many service users to use. Penguin is not a pop-up window, the publicity effect is huge, but for discerning users, this is undoubtedly a trampling on the user's psychology.

The penguin has become the boss of instant messaging, and a domestic and foreign communication software has died under its iron hooves. The internationalization of penguins has always been difficult, and there are competitors in China, and the whole research and development is very delayed. There is an update every once in a while, but it is all tinkering, and there is no real change.

WeChat takes a minimalist path, except for some necessary functions, and does not bring users a family bucket. Domestic companies have a lot of habits, and they are always used to making a family bucket. Install a penguin, and the computer will be inexplicably multi-anti-virus software and browsers.

Everyone does this, which is the default tradition in the industry. However, WeChat has emphasized user experience from the beginning, and everything is premised on user experience. The whole family bucket undoubtedly brings a lot of troubles to users, and WeChat directly abandons this bad habit.

Penguins have been around for so long, adding countless friends, work, study, and a lot of strangers. WeChat, on the other hand, is more private and a quiet place for many users.

130 million registered users!

This is the success of WeChat in the first 24 hours, which stunned the companies that paid attention at home and abroad.

The pony who was far away in Shenzhen was not very good all day, but kept silent and did not speak.

WeChat's dazzling results made the pony always a little cold all over his body. The core of penguins is instant messaging, and the rise of WeChat is undoubtedly cutting off the rhizomes of penguins.

Once the instant communication dies, the branches, leaves, and fruits of the penguin tree will wither. When the flames of war burned into the field of instant messaging, Ma Huateng finally had a sense of urgency.

"A bunch of rubbish!" Pony was always yelling in the office.

After the mess in the office, Mr. Pony's face finally relaxed, and then he called a meeting of the entire company's management.

The threat posed by WeChat is so huge that Ma Huateng is terrified.

Du Jiayi is still very satisfied with the performance of WeChat's debut, and then there are WeChat public and WeChat emoji functions online, and the difficulties of penguins will still be difficult at that time.

What is the market cap of Penguin?

In 07, it was about 100 billion US dollars, including a number of popular games with core communication and social services and gold-making artifacts.

Yijia Network first overwhelmed the penguins on Weibo and sent the penguin Weibo back to their hometown. Then Yijia Network launched WeChat, a voice instant messaging software, which directly aimed at Penguin's core business.

What is the market value of the more dazzling Yijia network? No one has been able to give an accurate figure.

"Each product of Yijia Network has hundreds of millions of users, which produces an agglomeration effect, and users will have strong stickiness. Judging from the long-term research, users who use Yijia network products rarely abandon them. ”

In the "Economic Observer", a professor from the Capital University of Finance and Economics gave a description of Yijia Network from the side.

"Judging from the development of the Internet in the United States, social networking is definitely a hot spot in the next stage of the Internet. The layout of Yijia Network on Weibo and WeChat firmly grasps the most critical point of social networking. ”

"On top of that, WeChat is very focused on mobile ports. Many of WeChat's features are very mobile-friendly, and I believe that in the near future, the users of WeChat's mobile port will be larger than that of a computer port. ”

There is no doubt about the professionalism of the professors of Capital University of Finance and Economics, and the evaluation of Yijia Network and WeChat is very objective. If Du Jiayi can see his evaluation of WeChat, it is estimated that he will suspect that this guy has also crossed over.

WeChat was originally developed for mobile ports, and after being ported to a computer port, some of them looked weird. It's obvious that the shake function, it's a very chicken rib on the computer, and the interactivity is worse.

"In the face of the penguin-centered protest coalition, Yijia Network gave a very perfect answer."

The success of WeChat has caused many venture capital institutions to raise their evaluation of Yijia Network, and its valuation has doubled from more than $30 billion to $60 billion.

When the technology media describes Yijia Network. One of the most commonly mentioned industry terms is called unicorns, and the so-called unicorns are Internet startups with a valuation of $1 billion, and the concept comes from Silicon Valley in the United States.

The concept of unicorn is generally used when the company is exposed to financing, in fact, this may just be a packaging term for the financing company, unicorn means that it has entered the $1 billion club, and it has become a star Internet company, the media will be more willing to report, and the company can get more attention.

In fact, in China, being a unicorn company with a value of more than $1 billion may be a lifelong dream pursued by many entrepreneurs, or it can be said to be an obsession. Because unicorns mean that there are very few, it also shows that the startup has achieved success in the start-up stage, and the company has become widely known in the industry.

Yijia Network has not raised funds externally, but with its dazzling aperture, it has become the largest unicorn in the world, and is favored by countless venture capitalists and funds. If Du Jiayi is willing to let Yijia Network go public, it may become the largest listed company in China.

Du Jiayi is really not in a hurry, WeChat has not yet reached its peak, and the valuation of Yijia Network can still go to a higher level.

Yijia Network develops itself through financing, and its listing can only reach a critical point and achieve qualitative changes through listing. (To be continued.) )
