WeChat can be said to be Zhou Yan's strategic project to dominate the mobile Internet in the future, if it is really sent away by the penguin's big move, not to mention that all the previous efforts have been abandoned, and then the mobile Internet will no longer have a share of the waves.

Large companies have sharp noses, and once the penguins move to mobile, then these Internet companies will follow up like cats that smell fishy.

Although Ali and 360 are now on their side, 360 is because they have a common opponent, and Ali chooses to help chase waves because of the interests of trademarks.

So this time it seems to be a competition, in fact, it is also the key to whether the waves can gain a firm foothold in the mobile Internet market, and because of this, Zhou Yan has always regarded penguins as the biggest opponent, and has made a lot of preparations.

However, thanks to Penguin, they don't pay much attention to the small company of Zhulang, otherwise with the market value of Penguin's 100 billion yuan, how could it give Zhulang a chance to take a breather.

"I'll talk about the slash in person, just go to Hangzhou to meet a friend." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"Then I'll communicate with the headquarters as soon as possible." Gu Yuanzhong said.

Zhang Long wanted to say something, but at this time his mobile phone vibrated a little, and he glanced at the message on his mobile phone, and there was a little more surprise in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuanzhong was a little puzzled.

Zhang Long put down his phone, shook his head with a smile: "You 360 have already made a move." ”

"Huh?" Gu Yuanzhong was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Yan was a little curious, "It can't be that 360 really issued a statement saying that it wants to develop instant messaging on the web." ”

"That's right."

Zhang Long nodded: "Just now, 360 has officially issued a statement that it will officially enter the instant messaging market on the web. ”

He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, 360 also hopes that we will share user data on WeChat, and directly connect with their newly released web-based instant messaging software." ”

"How could it be ???"

Gu Yuanzhong looked at his mobile phone in disbelief at this time, obviously knowing some great news, he muttered to himself: "I also received the news, and I want to cooperate with all my might... But how did I not know what other instant messaging software was developed by HQ. ”

Gu Yuanzhong was a little distracted, even a little lonely, obviously he felt that he was really isolated from the company.

Zhang Long smiled and patted Gu Yuanzhong on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, 360 hasn't developed any instant messaging software, my friends on Huaduo Network told me that their company has been jointly acquired by 360 and a mysterious company." ”

"Waldo?" Gu Yuanzhong finally knew why Zhang Long got more accurate information than him first, but what kind of company is Huaduo.

Zhou Yan frowned at this time, he had a little impression of this Hua Duo, but he didn't have much of an impression.

"YY knows, right?" Zhang Long said with a smile.

Zhou Yan instantly understood, "Brother Zhang, you mean that 360 acquired YY?" ”

YY can be regarded as a new star software, and it is also the only instant messaging software that has escaped Penguin's sanctions, and even in the previous life, it was called a miracle in the field of domestic instant messaging.

He really forgot about YY, it was really YY who was too low-key, and he had been deeply involved in the game field, and then he went out of the circle and successfully rang the bell on NASDAQ, which was something that no one expected.

As one of the three giants of the domestic Internet, Penguin is not without the idea of YY, in the initial stage of YY, Penguin invested 150 million US dollars to acquire YY company, and even promised to return double the original shares, which means that the founder of YY, Mr. Li, can still occupy 40% of the shares after Penguin spent $150 million to buy the company, as long as he agrees, he can immediately become a billionaire.

However, Li Xuelin refused, and even initiated a vote at that time, the result was that all members of the company refused to be acquired by Penguin, which can be said to be the most hardened company, and in 11 years, Penguin completely began to sanction YY, and terminated all cooperation with YY, and according to the usual routine, copied YY's strengths, and released a customized version of QQtalk to achieve the blockade of YY.

The final result was unexpected, YY benefited from its strong user stickiness, and survived tenaciously in the confrontation with Penguin, Penguin withdrew from the game's voice communication battlefield, and YY was successfully listed on NASDAQ shortly after, becoming a company that survived and developed in the cracks of penguins.

Even Zhou Yan would not have thought that YY would be acquired in 10 years, after all, YY was founded in 08, and it was in the limelight at this time, how could it be that after rejecting Penguin's acquisition, he sold himself to 360, Zhou Yan actually had some doubts in this regard.

Gu Yuanzhong was obviously also a little incredulous, and he muttered in a low voice: "How is it possible.. How could it be, how could the company be..."

Obviously, he didn't quite believe that the company would suddenly make such a big turn and buy YY.

Zhang Long said with a smile: "I don't know much news, but it is indeed 360 and another company jointly acquired YY, it seems to be a southern private equity investment company, but now I can't get relevant news, I may have to ask the headquarters far away to know." ”

Gu Yuanzhong was still stunned at this time, he heard Zhang Long's words, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I asked, but I didn't reveal anything to me, saying that it was confidential, but I should have known about this kind of thing earlier." ”

】

"Now I feel like I can't go back, if the WeChat project can't be done, I..."

Gu Yuanzhong obviously underestimated the company's attention to the instant messaging project, if he did a good job, it would be okay to say, but if WeChat really collapsed, how could the company still have his position as a loser, originally Gu Yuanzhong was holding a passable mentality, and even he felt that the company was also this mentality, and the cooperation with the wave of WeChat This project is just an attempt, it doesn't matter if it fails, but how does the current wind feel that the company really wants to declare war with the penguins, and it will shake the basic plate of the penguins, The importance of instant messaging to a company has risen several levels.

Gu Yuanzhong didn't know why the company suddenly made a 180-degree turn, which was obviously unplanned.

Zhang Long said with a smile at this time: "Think about it from another angle, since 360 attaches so much importance to the instant messaging project, then it will also value you, the person in charge, and tilt more resources, what is there to worry about." ”

Gu Yuanzhong listened to Zhang Long's half-comforting words, and smiled a little far-fetched.

Clear-eyed people know that WeChat can't do penguins, at that time the company's strategy was to do this project disgusting penguins, and now the penguins are doing their best, maybe the company is really likely to abandon the mobile communication market, and even take the micro chat technology as a wool light, and make up for the instant messaging project on the web, after all, if you really use YY to grab a certain market share from the penguin on the web, the mobile terminal is dispensable.

And he felt more and more that his guess was correct, after all, he was isolated from such an important matter as the company's acquisition of YY, and his understanding was not even as clear as that of Zhang Long, an outsider.

However, he won't say these words to Zhang Long and Zhou Yan, there are some things that he understands in his heart, and saying them will make it difficult for each of them to do it.

Gu Yuanzhong sighed and looked at the two, "What do you mean, whether to open the user data on WeChat, the headquarters did not force it, and this is also within the scope of cooperation." ”

"Yes, but YY's user data and your own data must also be shared with WeChat." Zhou Yan said without hesitation.

"This.... I can't be the master, I'll communicate upwards. Gu Yuanzhong whispered.

He didn't expect the company to open up data to a small company, and maybe the establishment of the WeChat chat company was also part of the company's instant messaging plan on the web.

To put it bluntly, he is just a project manager, how can he influence the company's decision-making.

However, Gu Yuanzhong really felt that his boss had suddenly become much wiser, and he dared to make up his mind to take this step.

You must know that not long ago, 360 was struggling under the sanctions of penguins, how did it become so strong now.

Even in the statement just now, the smell of gunpowder is very strong, and it is almost a direct declaration of war with the penguins.

Zhou Yan touched his chin at this time, he always felt that something flashed in his mind, but he didn't really want to understand, not to mention Gu Yuanzhong, even he felt that this time 360's strategic vision was strong.

When the penguin was determined to get off the court and wrestle with the waves, he struck the web side, and he didn't have to think about it to know how blue Brother Pony's face would be when he heard the news.

In fact, he really just hopes that 360 will issue a statement that is not light.

Zhou Yan didn't know that Gu Yuanzhong actually had a pessimistic attitude towards WeChat, he only knew that Zhou Hong finally didn't coax it once this time, and this time's actions were like a platform for chasing waves, and the information revealed in it was really a bit complicated.

"Could it be..."

The ripples are still in Hangzhou, will it have anything to do with the ripples?

Zhou Yan thought of something, and also had the idea of leaving immediately, he said to Zhang Long: "Brother Zhang, without further ado, I will leave Hangzhou immediately, this time the penguins are bound to be attracted to 360, which is really a huge opportunity for our WeChat." ”

Zhang Long nodded, "Don't worry, I will take care of the company." ”

"In addition, about the entrepreneurship group, can Brother Zhang help me keep an eye on it and help them improve the plan." Zhou Yan said to Zhang Long.

"What.. What is the startup group? Gu Yuanzhong was also stunned when he heard Zhou Yan's words.

"It's an entrepreneurship training class that Zhou Yan took at school." Zhang Long explained, and also smiled at Zhou Yan and said, "You are the boss, don't be so polite, just let them contact me when the time comes."

Zhou Yan had approached Zhang Long before because of the 101 entrepreneurial group's bicycle scanning code, and Zhang Long naturally knew how important the entrepreneurial group was to Zhou Yan.

"Then I'll be relieved."

Zhou Yan nodded and said with a smile, taking advantage of his time to go to Hangzhou, it would be good to let Zhang Long lead a group of entrepreneurs.

Zhou Yan and even Zhang Long are definitely the best project managers in the Internet industry, and letting Zhang Long check it is much more beneficial than him as a semi-layman.

After explaining some of the company's above things, Zhou Yan was ready to go to Hangzhou.

Because he wanted to see Ripple and Xiaomo, Zhou Yan didn't bring Qiao Shishi with him, but before leaving the school, he still interacted with Secretary Qiao in the office amicably, and it wasn't until Senior Sister Qiao begged for mercy again and again that Zhou Yan let her go and took a shower together.

Time was pressing, Zhou Yan prepared a little and immediately set off for Hongcheng Station.

The high-speed rail has been connected to Hangzhou, and Zhou Yan also bought the nearest flight and directly got on the express direct train.

Sitting in the position of the high-speed rail, Zhou Yan had time to think about the recent events.

From Penguin and Baidu's strong announcement, to Chase Wave, 360, Ali counterattack, and then Penguin's remake of Mobile QQ, 360's acquisition of YY counterattacked in the Web instant messaging market, the form changes day by day.

Even Zhou Yan was a little unbearable.

Although the company has not yet reached the size of its previous life, it is enough to be called exciting.

After all, in his previous life, he didn't have the opportunity to directly confront the penguins, and it could even be said that he ate with the penguins.

At that time, Penguin was already an Internet giant company with a market value of trillions, and with the size of Zhou Yan's company, it really wanted to be noticed by Penguin, and I didn't know how to die, and there would be any chance of confrontation.

Now it can be said that it really seized the opportunity, while the penguins were still focusing on the computer market, and picked up a big leak, otherwise there is really no confidence to fight.

The train was running fast and was about to arrive in Hangzhou, and Zhou Yan also had a decent set meal on the train.

Soon, with the announcement of the arrival of Hangzhou Station, the train stopped, and Zhou Yan picked up his computer bag and got off the train.

The first time I came to Hangzhou in this life, it was to send Xiaomo to school, and when I came to Hangzhou again, I wanted to talk about business with Ali.

Unknowingly, he had the qualifications to talk to Ali on an equal footing, and Zhou Yan also had a feeling like a dream.

He didn't immediately leave to go to the Binjiang District where Ripples is located, nor did he go to Xiaomo's Zhijiang Campus, Ripples didn't return to Hongcheng these days, Xiaomo stayed on campus all the time, and he didn't have to worry too much, what Zhou Yan has to do now is to finalize the cooperation with Ali on WeChat.

After all, 360's move was too sudden, and Zhou Yan also wanted to be fully prepared, in case 360 did not play cards according to common sense again, and when it was sold, he might have to help others count the money, although there was another possibility, Zhou Yan didn't want to take too much risk.

He made a call from Zhong Ming, Zhong Ming joined Ali, and it was easier to have him and Zhou Yan with him.

Soon, Zhong Ming called back.

Zhou Yan also immediately took a taxi to Ali's headquarters in Yuhang District.

Under the headquarters building, Zhong Ming has been waiting for a long time, he is wearing the uniform he used to work, the decadence and vicissitudes on his face have disappeared, but there is a high-spirited look, Zhou Yan is also mental environment can really change a person.

After experiencing the pain of falling out of love and coming to Hangzhou, he also talked about a girlfriend from Zhejiang University, and now he is working in Ali, Zhou Yan estimated that Zhong Ming's ex-girlfriend would regret death if she knew his current situation.

"Senior." Zhou Yan greeted with a smile.

"Haha Zhou Yan, long time no see." Zhong Ming came up and gave Zhou Yan a big hug.
