On February 7, Hangzhou went to Shanghai on the expressway.

Ma Yun sat in the back seat, crossed Erlang's legs, one elbow propped on the armrest of the car door, holding a document in his hand and looking down carefully, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

WeChat, Stars, Tianshu Games.

Didi, have you eaten, Tianxuan Information Service.

In addition, there are also listening to the sound of clouds, going to the blue sky, and soaring cloud data.

The nouns and the meanings behind them are clearly explained in this document, and they are intertwined into a very dense network in Ma Yun's eyes.

When he lowered his gaze to the bottom and saw the introduction information of the founder of this star company, he couldn't help but have a look of disbelief in his eyes.

With the information network and energy behind Alibaba, it is still very simple to simply want to know the basic information of a company's boss.

So for Ma Yun, Xu Xing's identity is transparent in front of him.

But because of this, Ma Yun didn't dare to believe that this star company was made up by such a young man about twenty years old.

This is really a jealous thing for him, who is nearly fifty years old.

You know, he started his business in 95 and founded Ali in 99, and it has been more than ten years now, and it can be said that he has participated in the entire process from the start to the rise of the domestic Internet.

This is what makes today's Ali Empire.

But right now, this young man named Xu Xing has relied on several popular mobile games in just over half a year to make an instant messaging software like Weixi.

also bit off a piece of meat from Tengxin's QQ.

To be honest, if it's just a mobile game that explodes, no matter how powerful Tianshu Games is, Qunxing can only become a part of the Internet ecosystem.

Awesome is awesome, but at least it doesn't have the ability to influence and change the pattern.

But a micro-message has completely changed the situation.

As a traffic pool with huge potential, Weixin's strategic position is no less than that of Alibaba's Taobao and Alitong, which are both strategic weapons that can become the core of a group and ecological chain.

Previously, Ali didn't think about making instant messaging social software, but after many attempts, it basically ended in failure.

Tengxin's QQ empire is firm and unshakable, with a user base of hundreds of millions there, and after the user's inertia is cultivated, this process is almost irreversible.

It's just that no one expected that in the era of mobile Internet, Qunxing Company seized a fleeting opportunity to complete a sneak attack with the convenience of mobile phones and the expansion of user groups.

Especially the operation of shifting from a game platform to a social platform, even if Ma Yun has read the analysis report several times, it still makes him feel bright.

The mobile games produced by Tianshu are relatively simple types, which can naturally attract a large number of mobile phone users.

After using the mobile game to accumulate the first wave of users, Weixin immediately used the rogue level function of contacts friends.

Contacts, a function that only exists in mobile phones, symbolizes a secret treasure in the mobile Internet era, it is there, but few people really notice it.

People who make Internet products know very well that if they want to increase users, the most perfect situation is for users to spontaneously attract the people around them.

And this move of contacts book friends is completely a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, which directly pulls a large number of mobile phone users into the ecological chain of micro-messaging.

Combined with the information at the Weixin 2.0 press conference, everyone quickly realized one thing.

Middle-aged and elderly people may not be the main force of Internet consumption, but they can become a chain that connects young users.

As long as it can grasp the basic needs of middle-aged and elderly groups and create top-down relationship constraints in the social circle, relatively young groups can use it even if they don't want to use it.

This move directly hit the weakest point of Tengxin QQ, and suddenly opened up the situation for WeChat.

Evolving to the present, tens of millions of users, as long as WeChat continues to maintain, the future social software landscape may surge.

It would be a shame if Ali couldn't get a kick out of it.

It's just that in the face of a company with no cash flow problems at all, or even a large amount of surplus, rapid development, and huge upside, I am afraid that it will need to pay a very huge price if it wants to take it under its door.

Ma Yun frowned, and carefully looked at Xu Xing's personal information, he was really a little uncertain, and everything had to wait until he saw someone before he could make a judgment.

……

In the evening, the garment foundry.

Xu Jian ended the meeting with the construction team on the assembly line manufacturing and roughly determined the construction plan after the year.

After the other people in the meeting left, Xu Jian pressed the shoulder of Zhang Qiang, the leader of the construction team, and said with a smile: "Are you free at night?" Have a meal. ”

In the face of this production line expansion, Xu Jian still attaches great importance to it, and after the meeting, he pulled a few people from the construction team to go out to dinner, contact feelings, and get familiar with it in advance.

The engineers in the three teams led by Zhang Qiang also readily agreed, there is still a period of time before the start of construction, and the construction plan has been determined.

So Xu Jian personally drove them to the hotel that had been booked in advance.

As a result, when he arrived at the door of the hotel, Xu Jian bumped into a group of young people, and he always felt quite familiar when he saw them sitting at the round table in the hall.

Then he heard a familiar voice: "Uncle Xu? ”

Turning his head to look, Xu Jian raised his eyebrows: "Li Zhibin, right?" Why are you here? ”

"Oh, we're not having a class reunion." Li Zhibin smiled innocently, "Uncle Xu is here for dinner?" ”

"Well, I'll invite the guests over for a meal." Xu Jian looked around and saw that they had at least three tables, so he asked, "Will that kid Xu Xing come here in a while?" ”

"No, Xu Xing can't come." Li Zhibin scratched his head, "I wanted to call him, but he said he wasn't available." ”

"Haven't had time for a high school reunion?" Xu Jian sighed, I don't know about that kid, how can I not be free, I obviously went with my little girlfriend, and I went back to live for one night last night.

I don't know if the protection measures are in place, but don't finish my freshman year, bring him a baby back first.

And just when Xu Jian was chatting with Li Zhibin, the engineer who followed Zhang Qiang to eat also found his daughter Hu Hualin at this table, and sat next to Li Zhibin.

"Dad?" Hu Hualin, who was originally a member of the study committee in the high school class, was also admitted to Beijing University and went to school in Kyoto with Li Zhibin, was a little surprised when she saw her father Hu Yanyu.

Hu Yanyu didn't talk much, just nodded at his daughter: "I'll have a meal with the customer, you guys have fun by yourself." ”

Xu Jian led Zhang Qiang, Hu Yanyu and others into the box, and Li Zhibin, who was in the hall, asked curiously, "Is that Dad?" ”

"That's right." Hu Hualin nodded, "Who were you talking to just now?" ”

"Oh, that's Xu Xing's father."

"Isn't that our boss's father?"

"Not really."

Since Li Zhibin took over the expansion of Eatme's business in Kyoto, he has found many classmates to help him, and Hu Hualin, who is a classmate of his high school classmates, is naturally among them and has helped him a lot.

Coming to the high school reunion today can be regarded as his Li Zhibin's return to his hometown.

Although he is not a shareholder, he has raised 15 million US dollars, of which 5 million will be allocated to the expansion of the business in Kyoto, which is also a great power for the person in charge of the Kyoto business.

Not to mention 5 million US dollars, it is 500,000 US dollars, 50,000 US dollars, which is enough for Li Zhibin to brag among his classmates.

On the contrary, after the number rose to millions, although the students were envious, they couldn't have too much jealousy, but they were all a little numb.

Especially when I heard that this thing was made up by their classmate Xu Xing, it was even more unreal, as if in a dream.

If Li Zhibin hadn't followed Xu step by step, I'm afraid he would have felt the same way as these people.

He also adjusted his mentality over and over again, and then after a while, he was shocked by Xu Xingxin's operations and achievements, and after this guy constantly refreshed his cognition of the world, he slowly got used to this status quo.

It was also with these opportunities to exercise before and after that he was able to take over the business of eating in Kyoto.

Fortunately, he is majoring in finance and economics, unlike Xu Xing's computer science major, which has many courses.

With Li Zhibin's learning level, if he didn't participate in some miscellaneous club department activities and competitions in the school, if he honestly just attended classes, he could still take care of his career, and he didn't have to choose to suspend his studies like Zhang Nong.

In addition, although there was only Hu Hualin who went to Beijing University with him, there were a few people who were admitted to other universities in Kyoto, and now they have all been pulled into the team by Li Zhibin, and after returning to Shanghai, it has become a small group.

"So Xu Xing is really not coming?" Hu Hualin asked softly, "We haven't seen this boss since the summer vacation." ”

"You'll see him, he's busy." Li Zhibin was a little helpless, and whispered, "And he probably just doesn't want to come, after all, the gap is too big, and coming will affect everyone." ”

Hu Hualin understands, after all, it is a takeaway with a valuation of hundreds of millions, and her high school classmate, who was not inconspicuous when she was in school, soared as soon as she entered college.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and he is already worth more than 100 million, and he is not a person from the same world at all.

If it weren't for Li Zhibin, who happened to be a classmate and had a good relationship with Xu Xing, he was admitted to the same university, Hu Hualin estimated that he would not be able to have a relationship with this kind of person in his life.

It's just that what she doesn't know is that eating takeout is just the tip of the iceberg on Xu Xing's career map.

Li Zhibin, who knew about this, just smiled, thinking that when the true identity of Xu Xing was revealed in the future, he didn't know how their high school classmates would react.

……

In the evening, Ocean International Building.

Xu Xing sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, his fingers tapping on the armrest of his office chair.

The sky outside the window darkened, and as the season entered the depths of winter, the night of the Shanghai market came earlier than usual, and before 6 o'clock in the evening, it was already completely dark.

However, sitting at the height of a ten-story building, looking down, this bustling city is still brightly lit.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Ma of Ali is already on the highway, and there will be about half an hour to get to the hotel." Yan Chi Vinegar stood obediently at the desk and reminded Xu Xing.

"Hmm." Xu Xing nodded, "In another fifteen minutes, we will also pass." ”

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door in the office, and after Xu Xing answered, Liao Qinyu walked in from outside the door.

"Mr. Xu, the summary of the previous year's data about Weixin has been sent to your mailbox."

"Okay."

Xu Xing returned to his desk, opened the mailbox, clicked on the data sheet, and glanced at it briefly.

Since the release of Weixin 2.0 in early February, the number of users of Weixin has grown rapidly to 70 million in just one week.

It is not far from the 100 million mark.

Now the micro-message,It's already a behemoth that can't be ignored in the Internet field,After all, 70 million users,Compared with its big brother QQ, it's definitely not enough to see,But look at the bottom,It's all younger brothers!

But if this momentum continues, 70 million to 100 million does not seem impossible.

And once the number of 100 million levels is broken, the meaning is completely different.

At this stage, there is such a large user base, especially since these users are still connected according to personal social networks.

This means that Weixin will have at least 10 million sticky users.

A person's relationship network is all on this software, and you can't uninstall it if you want to, it's the same as QQ, or even tighter than QQ.

After all, in the computer era, there are still many middle-aged and elderly people who don't know how to use computers, let alone QQ numbers, and they can't understand how to play.

But in the mobile era, this group of people also slowly began to use mobile phones, especially the middle-aged files who did not use computers QQ much in the past, once they were captured by Weixin first, after radiating downward, the stickiness must be more exaggerated than QQ.

Xu Xing looked at the data, and after a brief scan, he focused on the usage rate of several new features in version 2.0.

Among them, the voice recognition function is not too mature, so the usage rate is relatively low, and the service center that brings together Didi taxi and food delivery is still in its infancy.

During this period of time, many companies have approached Weixin and want to discuss cooperation, the purpose is to stuff their own APP links into the service center of Weixin and enjoy the irrigation of the Weixin traffic pool.

You must know that at present, Didi taxi and takeout are still regional services, covering only two places: Kyoto and Shanghai.

Among them, after Didi Taxi got a new round of financing, it has begun to expand to other cities, but the effect has not yet fully appeared.

After eating takeaway, it is really confined to the two core cities, and it has not yet been rolled out.

In such a situation, there will naturally be many other companies that want to seize the C position of the traffic pool of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in the future.

However, what satisfies Xu Xing the most is the data of the circle of friends.

The daily usage rate reached 57.8% and the weekly usage rate was 88.9%.

Of course, this is only the first week, and there are no specific trends to be seen.

But just looking at this week, the usage rate of Moments is rising in the form of a surge almost every day.

"I don't know what conditions Mr. Ma will give when he sees such a momentum."

Xu Xing sighed twice, seeing that the time was almost up, he got up and said: "Just keep the current situation of Weixi, continue to collect feedback on various functions, and relax during the New Year." ”

"Okay, Mr. Xu." After Liao Qinyu reported the data summary, he said goodbye and left.

Xu Xing packed up his clothes and beckoned to Yan Chi Vinegar: "Secretary Yan, take me to see Mr. Ma." ”

Yan Chi Vinegar obediently followed Xu Xing's side, lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Okay, Mr. Xu." ”

"How's it going?" Xu Xing squeezed her little hand and asked in her ear.

"Mr. Xu, this is the company, please respect yourself." Yan Chi Vinegar took half a step back, his little face serious, "I'll take you to the hotel." ”

I don't know why, the more serious Yan Chi vinegar is, the more interesting and exciting Xu Xing feels, if it weren't for Mr. Ma's approach, he probably couldn't help but push Yan Chi vinegar to the desk and spank.

"Let's go." Instead of bullying his little secretary, Xu Xing pushed open the office door and walked out.
