Zou Sheng can also be regarded as the first batch of Internet entrepreneurial backbones under Gu Mojie, if Gu Mojie was not born, Zou Sheng could finally rely on the signboard of Xunlei download to kill a way of his own, and finally get a value of billions.

Doing the entertainment industry is not his hobby. It's just that since 2006, Hatsune Entertainment has developed explosively, and there is a lack of professional Internet entertainment helm talents, so it has to be asked to take care of the people who are engaged in data transmission and video to take care of the overall planning of games, self-media, virtual concerts and other businesses. Zou Sheng has made a lot of money for Gu Mojie, and has also experienced the stage of resentment and depression because the profits of the business he is in charge of were decisively allocated to the brother industry by Gu Mojie, and finally fortunately, when the group's new CFO Gu Yong joined, he reminded Gu Mojie and gave Zou Sheng some group-level equity replacement, which appeased the veteran who worked hard more than he could.

In September, Gu Mojie bought out the Fire Fist Company in the United States, and also took back Steven's team - not to mention the character of Steven Sheepknife, this product is making games, and there are really a few capable operation and planning cadres under him. (Later lol in history was contributed by this group of people, of course, it didn't all depend on this team)

Since then, Zou Sheng has gradually faded out of control of online games, animation, and virtual concerts, and transferred a considerable part of the business to a team from the United States to take over the management, while he himself has time to calm down and concentrate on the follow-up outlook of download/cloud disk/digital transmission.

Gu Mojie also appropriately compensated him and other managers who were about to be spun off a total of 2% of the equity of Hatsune Entertainment, which can be regarded as a reward for him to take Hatsune Entertainment through the stage of primitive reclamation in the past two years.

After going public next year and lifting the ban, if Zou Sheng and others are willing, the 2% equity of Hatsune Entertainment can also be realized at least 1 billion in cash. From this point of view, Zou Sheng followed Gu Mojie to work, and his final income was no less than that of being his own boss and opening a Thunderbolt company in another time and space.

At this moment, at the meeting to discuss the competitive strategy of "First Meeting" and QQ, Zou Sheng proposed the strategy of "hands-on sniping at the offline text jiàn function point of QQ", which is obviously the expression of his successful transformation back to his old bank.

Gu Mojie is deeply gratified by this: it is not easy to throw a meritorious veteran into a new business field to fight and finally pull it back. How many people are dissatisfied with the treatment in this process, because they feel that they will be taken over by the boss's henchmen when they open up a new market, and secretly leave their jobs.

After all, there are very few people in the world who can say that if you lose your country, you will lose your country, you will go to Japan when you say you will go to Japan, you will go to the United States if you say you will go to the United States, and you will not know how to resist like a cow.

……

"Applejack, I think it's a complete failure for Ma Huateng to launch the 'QQ offline text jiàn' function in order to upgrade defensively a while ago.

Because in the field of download tools, QQ Whirlwind is not the opponent of Hatsune Download at all, and even the latter's market share is less than 30%. In terms of cloud storage space for email addresses, QQ Mail is also not as good as Hatsune Mail - although QQ Mail still has two or three times the number of users as Hatsune Mail to date.

Therefore, when Fuji Xun launched this new feature, I felt that it was completely sent to the door to invite us to copycat - to each 'first see' user 20M free cloud storage space, valid for 7 days, available for offline download - these 3 numbers, with our Hatsune download and mailbox free space, can be easily imitated, and in various indicators than QQ offline text jiàn is better, more convenient. ”

When Zou Sheng talked about this issue, he changed the cautious way he had been discussing the product layout of the game and entertainment industry in the previous two years, and almost gushed out - no way, anyone is so confident when talking about their life's work.

Gu Mojie listened on the sidelines, and even felt that the past two years had been really condescending, why didn't Zou Shengan quietly put Zou Sheng'an in the field of cloud storage to continue digging deeper.

Of course, there is nothing to regret, after all, the maturity of cloud disk technology requires the support of network infrastructure progress. In the era when the development of China's telecom and Netcom is not fast enough, directly engaging in cloud disks is undoubtedly a trick to build a castle in the air and slay a dragon.

"To be specific, if I promise to follow the main mode framework of 'QQ offline text jiàn' and build the function of 'first meeting offline text jiàn', what do you think you can do? How much does it cost? ”

"First of all, the validity period of 7 days is too short, in order to reflect our sincerity, it can be made into a 30 astronomical jiàn validity period. The size limit of 20m is also too small, and it is not a problem for us to add 50m or even higher.

Secondly, I have analyzed the current QQ offline text jiàn function, which can only be point-to-point offline - that is to say, the offline text I send on the computer at home can only be directly clicked on the computer at home 'Sent text jiàn', and if you log in to your QQ number on the company computer or portable notebook, you can't find these texts.

Of course, this setting has no effect on the transmission of messages between different users, but it is very inconvenient for some people who need to work on multiple terminals and often send messages to themselves. As long as we slightly modify it to 'no matter where you send offline texts to your account, you can download them when you log in to this account on any other terminal', then 'Chujian' will be very friendly to those who need to work on multiple terminals, or even online remote co-working.

Finally, we can directly integrate a model called 'Chujian Yunwen Jiàn', make a pointer backup of all offline sent and received texts, and consider increasing the scope of the overall backup of texts in the future, so that users who can't find them feel more intimate, and also pave the way for the follow-up optimization of this function. ”

This analysis of the construction is very detailed, and everyone sitting here feels the same way. CFO Gu Yong basically didn't speak on this occasion, just listened, and couldn't help but come out in agreement at the moment:

"It sounds like a good thing - it turns out that when I work by myself, I often have to use QQ to pass around, and sometimes I have to get two QQ numbers and send things to myself to save the mailbox. If it can be so convenient to see the offline text for the first time in the future, then there is no need for my two QQ numbers to save zài. ”

Gu Yongjiang's joke won a smile from the audience, and even Gu Mojie couldn't help but laugh, he turned to Zou Sheng and said, "It seems that there is nothing to discuss about this point, everyone thinks it is feasible." But I still want to know the cost, how much it will cost. ”

Zou Sheng was very sure of this, and obviously did his homework in advance: "In comparison, the expenditure of these storage spaces is nothing at all - think about it, even if our company is weak, at least half of the capital scale of Tengxun, and in instant messaging products, the current user scale is only 4% of QQ."

Coupled with our technical superiority in the merger and compression of cloud numbers, even if we increase the survival time and maximum capacity of offline texts by several times, our total expenditure in absolute value is far less than that of Tengxun - perhaps less than one-fifth of that of our opponents. In this case, what are we afraid of not having enough money to burn? ”

Gu Mojie groaned and didn't speak, but COO Ye Weilun helped him insert a question:

"And what about the future? It's true that the number of active users is only 4% of QQ now, but we are growing rapidly, maybe in three months, it will reach 10% of QQ, and in half a year it will reach 20% - when the time comes, the total amount of money we burn in terms of subsidizing offline capacity for free will gradually exceed that of Tengxun. ”

Zou Sheng smiled confidently: "Mr. Ye, you may not know about the industry trend in the field of cloud storage. You must know that whether it is a cloud disk or a large-capacity mailbox, the storage cost of these services is rapidly decreasing with technological progress. Especially in the past two years, it has been in a period of rapid development. Maybe in 2006, the cost of 1 g of mailbox capacity will be able to pack 2 g in 2007, and it may be flattened later, but the development trend is the same.

We are now launching 50m or even 100m free offline capacity, maybe we need to spend so much money, and after half a year, maybe the space cost per unit capacity has been cut in half, so there is nothing to worry about. We're going to launch 100m free offline now, maybe Tengxun doesn't dare to follow up, and when the cost drops next year and they also follow up to 100m, it's a big deal that we don't move. ”

"Taking advantage of our relatively small scale and sniping at a few rapid development indicators in the embryonic stage - this is a good idea, and I think it is feasible." Gu Mojie Chrysostom has made a decision, naturally no one will question the cost anymore,

"And I can prove this trend myself: next year, with the advent of the 3G era, the cross-competition between China Mobile and China Telecom will become more and more obvious. China Mobile is interested in entering the fixed network business, and its competitive pressure on telecom will be significantly stronger than that of the current half-dead Netcom. I have talked to several senior people in the circle, and it is estimated that there will be a period of sharp decline in broadband tariffs for several years starting next year, so all the original Internet business models that burned a lot of money and were uneconomical can be re-evaluated. At that time, even with the online video that we have been working on Hatsune, the cost will drop by several percent. ”

"I really hope this day will come sooner, now the domestic broadband tariff is really expensive, and I can't afford to burn money for video." Chen Shijun, who was born in the YouTube department, was the first to answer and complained about the black heart of Telecom.

Zou Sheng gloated and poured cold water on Chen Shijun: "You can save it, if the telecommunications tariff drops, it is impossible for the video website to lose less-I estimate, when the time comes, users should pursue high-definition, the pursuit of Blu-ray disc effect, and the pursuit of 1080p-these technical standards have been put there, but now the network speed is slow, and users can only be shown 270p/480p bad movies." When the Internet speed is up and the competition is fierce, the user's appetite will be saved. So, if you want to wait for the future, it's better to save it. (To be continued.) )
