Chapter Forty-Three: Email Three Kingdoms Killing
After this new round of onslaught of "Hatsune Download", Gu Mojie just rightly launched two joint bundled features.
The first is to completely integrate and bundle the "browser downloader" and "hatsune download" of the Hatsune Secure Browser - just like the relationship between the 361 Secure Browser and the 361 Downloader in another time and space.
It's just that 361 in another time and space is relatively empty, and I can't get a download tool as powerful as Thunderbolt. And Gu Mojie's role in this field now is equivalent to another time-space 361+ Thunderbolt combined giant posture, and the scale is even larger, which is really what I am.
The number of browser users, bundled by this wave, has skyrocketed several percent in less than half a month.
According to the original estimate, Maxthon Browser and Fujixun Browser, which will not be able to be left behind until the end of the summer or even eleven, have been abandoned by Hatsune Security Browser before July is over.
Judging from the potential of such a combination, it is really at the end of the 11th Golden Week, and it is estimated that Hatsune Security Browser can blow up the current fourth place Sogou and the third place Firefox, and then put itself in the position of the top three in the rivers and lakes, creating a new miracle in the industry.
After all, Google, which was born in the United States, is still relatively regular. In view of the good work style of the United States in copyright protection, all U.S.-funded online products have very little investment in technology research and development in terms of searching for pirated resources and helping to download and share pirated resources. This naturally leads to the shortcomings of U.S.-funded browsers in the Chinese market.
Although Gu Mojie can't guarantee that he will do better than Google Chrome in Google's strengths, he can at least guarantee that he will blow up Google in Google's shortcomings. At that time, it will not be a dream to surpass Google Chrome due to the barrel short-board effect - of course, this will not be possible in 2006.
The coming day is long, but there is no hurry.
The second joint bundling measure arranged by Gu Mojie. It is the internal integration between the new Hatsune download and Hatsune secure email.
About ten days after the launch of Hatsune Download, which supports BT resources, Hatsune Network announced a new feature in a high-profile manner: that is, the integration of Hatsune Download and Hatsune Secure Email's attachment upload/attachment download tools.
All users who have used Hatsune Secure Email before have found that the speed of downloading attachments from Hatsune Mailbox is simply more than three or five times that of NetEase and QQ Mailbox, and the upload speed is just as amazing, almost as fast as the user's home package of broadband network.
User experience improvements. Out of the common.
In addition, in order to further promote Hatsune's secure email, Hatsune has also given some other quantitative preferential benefits.
For example, NetEase, which was the most generous in the field of e-mail mailbox capacity in China, has only given 500M of personal mailbox attachment capacity, and plans to upgrade to 1G in 2007.
The Hatsune Group took advantage of the current east wind and directly announced that the free capacity of personal mailboxes would be increased to 2G!
Theoretically, one consequence of Gu Mojie's actions would be the hardware money that Hatsune spent on mail server capacity. It will be four times as much as Netease Ding Sanshi!
The industry thinks Gu Mojie is crazy, because according to the little bit of advertising-based income of the mail business, it can't bear such a huge hardware expenditure, and this is completely a loss-making business.
Therefore, peers all feel that Gu Mojie is burning money as a means to exchange for a short-term increase in the number of users. This kind of trick can't last, maybe in a few months, after the number of Hatsune email users increases, Gu Mojie will break his word. Reshrank the free space size for each user.
Of course, it doesn't matter if Gu Mojie is crazy or not. At the moment, the effect of this trick is called an immediate. Because the mailbox storage space is several times larger than that of its peers, and the speed of uploading and downloading texts is also several times faster than that of its peers, the promotion speed of Hatsune Secure Mailbox is almost as fast as that of Didi in later generations when it burned money.
β¦β¦
A few days after Hatsune announced that it would increase the free space for personal mailboxes to 2G.
Shenzhen, the headquarters of Fuji Xun Company.
Ma Huateng's iconic trapezoidal face was full of hesitant doubts. Some recent competitor movements have puzzled him.
Could it be that Gu Mojie really went to the United States and got back 5 billion yuan. There is so much money that you burn the bun and start spending it indiscriminately?
Although Ma Huateng has not faced Gu Mojie head-to-head so far, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know this potential opponent. Gu Mojie is now an Internet tycoon who can be counted on two hands in China, and it is impossible for Ma Huateng not to have paid attention to the temperament of this peer.
"This kind of style is not very scientific."
I'm thinking about it. There was a knock on Ma Huateng's office door. As soon as he looked up, it was Zhang Xiaolong, his new right-hand man last year.
Zhang Xiaolong is also an old-school IT industry cadre in China, two years older than his boss Ma Huateng.
In the late 90s, Zhang Xiaolong started his own business, and his record at that time was to develop and operate the email brand Foxmail. Later, foxmail worked for three years, just in time for the Internet bubble to burst at the turn of the new century, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaolong was quite far-sighted, smelled danger on the eve of the bubble collapse, and then sold Foxmail to an investment institution for $12 million, and cashed out himself.
Based on this alone, Zhang Xiaolong's foresight can not be described as incumbent.
After cashing out ashore, Zhang Xiaolong, who was worried about the Internet bubble, closed his business for two years, and only at the end of 02 and early 03 did he go to the sea again with the 100 million yuan he had in hand to start a business, and did some business, but there was no great achievement. Until March 05, he was favored by Ma Huateng, and he eagerly pulled Teng Xun and promised some equity.
At that time, Ma Huateng took a fancy to Zhang Xiaolong's ability to develop and operate Foxmail over the years, and wanted Zhang Xiaolong to help him build a QQ mailbox that was just starting out at that time.
Since then, Zhang Xiaolong has become the chief operating officer and technical director of the QQ mailbox project
Future generations may also know Zhang Xiaolong's other identity - "the father of WeChat". Of course, there is no such thing as a rote memorization of prophetic lowbs in this plane.
"Pony, you're looking for me for Hatsune's mailbox?" As soon as Zhang Xiaolong entered the door, he asked tentatively. On the way here, he had actually calculated the reason why the boss was looking for him.
Ma Huateng pointed to the sofa opposite. motioned for Zhang Xiaolong to sit down and chat.
"That's right, it's for Gu Mojie's business - what do you think of Hatsune Mailbox's high-profile upgrade of email attachment upload and download speed, and free mailbox capacity during this time? Do you think we're going to have to do something about it? Recently, Hatsune Mail seems to be pulling users very quickly. β
Listening to the boss's question, Zhang Xiaolong squinted his eyes, thought about it slowly, and said with vigor:
"Definitely. Gu Mojie's trick, it is estimated that in the medium term, if we don't deal with it, there will be about 30% of the number of daily active users of our mailbox, which is already very impressive. Our only advantage is to rely on the convenience of one-click login of QQ account to attract some individual customers who do not have professional requirements for email.
However, I think it's better for us not to respond too quickly to this kind of thing, because I don't think Gu Mojie's move lasts. What he's doing now. To support the same number of email customers, the cost of server and data center hardware is at least five to six times that of us and four times that of NetEase.
In the QQ email business, we only basically support the income, not to talk about profits, and NetEase's Ding Sanshi relies on other businesses to make money, subsidizing part of the email business every year, and losing money to support the faΓ§ade. Therefore, I concluded that Gu Mojie must be a big loss by doing this, and it won't take long to return to its original state. β
Ma Huateng leaned forward slightly. He asked, "However, even if Gu Mojie can't last." He's stealing our email users right now, and that's a real deal. Email products have user social attributes in them, and now all the products of the Hatsune Group are most lacking in social attributes - if he makes up for this shortcoming, the threat to us will not be lost. Shouldn't we follow up, Gu Mojie subsidizes, let's also subsidize. Gu Mojie expands, we also expand, and we will keep an eye on the whole process. When he really can't hold it anymore one day, let's stop it - do you think such a plan is better than what you say is indifferent? β
Zhang Xiaolong showed a fleeting and imperceptible mockery: "Pony." I think our company's reputation in the industry has been relatively ...... Good at imitating, if the whole process is how to change the first tone, we also follow how to keep an eye on it, doesn't it seem ...... Are we too unconfident?
What's more, Chinese netizen consumers actually don't know how to be grateful, they have always been accustomed to using everything for free, and they feel that they should get everything. If you have never given something, they will not hate you; If you give it and let them try it for a while and then take it back, they will definitely scold you to death.
What's more, in this incident, NetEase's Ding Sanshi has always stood still. It can be seen that he also understands that this matter is rigid and easy to break and cannot last. If Gu Mojie acted recklessly, we followed up, and in the end, Gu Mojie and we were unwilling to invest more money, so if we were stubborn, wouldn't domestic mail users think that our company and Hatsune goodwill are not good, or NetEase has a beginning and an end, and does not arbitrarily promise some promises that cannot be done? Won't it be cheaper for Ding Sanshi when the time comes? β
"Fame is a good thing! The people who scold me, no matter how much they scold, are no different from passers-by! The essence of doing the internet is to grab your fans! It's not that it doesn't attract scolding! If there were two groups of people in front of me now, the first group would have 100 million followers and 100 million passers-by; There are 100 million and 100 million fans and 99.99 million people scolding me in the second group, so I'd rather have the second group! β
Ma Huateng silently recited this paragraph of the creed that brought him to the peak of his career in his heart, but after all, he still held back and didn't say it to Zhang Xiaolong.
A company needs a variety of talents with three views.
What's more, although Zhang Xiaolong's three views are slightly inconsistent with Ma Huateng, the last sentence still has some truth.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move - Fuji Xun's enemy in the mail business is not only Hatsune, but also a veteran peer NetEase. If NetEase has always stayed out of the matter, but Teng Xun has been staring at Hatsune too closely, and finally both of them have "reversed" their reputations, wouldn't it have benefited NetEase fishermen?
"Then I believe you for the time being, and we will continue to stand still." (To be continued.) )
