Chapter 188: Detonating Public Opinion in China (1W!! )
ASML has more than 5,000 suppliers around the world.
If Cymer had not been acquired by ASML, it would have been the most important of the 5,000 suppliers, and only they could have built the most advanced light sources.
After ASML's acquisition of Cymer, the global vice president served as the president of Cymer, and ASML attached great importance to Cymer internally.
That is, in the golden age of the uncertain situation of lithography machines and globalization, there is such an opportunity to acquire Cymer.
In 2001, Ameriken reaped enormous benefits from economic globalization, whether it was Wall Street, Washington, or Silicon Valley. Americon Capital is a no-man's land on a global scale. In later generations, most countries and regions outside of China were almost all made by Ameriliken in most countries and regions.
This is the foundation laid in the era of economic globalization, and no one can now guess that in the future, Ameriken will personally overthrow the globalized trade order he formulated, and be crazy enough to kick out the major manufacturing countries.
Now globalization is the consensus, the upstream and downstream of the supply chain cannot be handled by a single company, no matter what field, multiple countries and enterprises work together to create the final product is the norm.
Therefore, Xinxin Technology's attempt to acquire Cymer did not cause much discussion in the industry, and it was nothing more than a complaint that a big dog had bought a new toy.
However, the acquisition of Cymer is still in the early stages of negotiations, as the acquisition of them would require permission from the Committee on Foreign Investment in Ameriliken.
When ASML acquired Cymer, it needed to obtain antitrust approvals from the Committee on Foreign Investment in Amer, as well as from Neon, Korea, Wanwan, Deutsche and Israel.
This is because the major shareholders behind ASML at the time were Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and Wall Street Capital, while Cymer's shareholders included Israel, Neon, and Deutsche Capital.
In October 2012, when ASML's board of directors announced that it was going to acquire Cymer, the Ameriken Department of Justice launched a monopoly investigation, which was halted in April 2013 and was not approved until the end of 2013.
The acquisition of Cymer by Xinxin Technology is not so complicated, because the capital behind Xinxin Technology is only Zhou Xin, and at the same time, Xinxin lithography machine is very far away from monopolizing the lithography machine market.
Therefore, if Xinxin Technology wants to acquire Cymer, it only needs to obtain permission from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the company.
As for whether the Ameriken Foreign Committee will agree to the acquisition at this time, Zhou Xin does not know, but he wants to try. Because Cymer is the most important link in the upstream and downstream of the EUV lithography machine industry chain, in addition to lenses.
If given the opportunity, he would even like to buy Cymer's upstream supplier, Trumpf, a German manufacturer specializing in laser instruments. Lasers are also the core components of lithography machines.
Even if there is the slightest chance, Zhou Xin wants to try, and if he wants to persuade the Committee on Foreign Investment in Washington, he can persuade them through lobbying that China will join the WTO at the end of this year.
So if you don't try it now, you won't have a chance at all in a few years. The upper echelons of the empire were still basking in the afterglow of the great victory, and they were invincible in all directions, and now the Ameriken did not regard China as a competitor.
As for the $3 billion acquisition of Cymer, it is a lot for other companies, and it is nothing to Zhou Xin. Not to mention the two-catch-all technique he learned from Goldman Sachs, which allowed him to make a big profit by investing in high-margin companies in the S&P 500 when the Nasdaq bubble burst.
Zhou Xin invested money in Xinxin Technology, Matrix mobile phone research and development and some other investments, and he still holds current assets in tens of billions.
No matter how bad it is, even if Zhou Xinxin has no money, there are many people who want to lend him money.
Now spend three billion to buy it, and wait until fifteen years later, even if Ameriken wants to take it from him, at least multiply it by ten.
Three billion is the market value of Cymer, and Zhou Xinmai only buys a part of the shares, and buying 55% of the shares is expected to give a 50% premium, that is, acquiring 55% of Cymer's shares at a valuation of 4.5 billion. This premium is not high, because ASML originally acquired Cymer 12 years later, and completed the acquisition at a premium of 61% of Cymer's market value at that time.
From an investment perspective, the acquisition of Cymer is not a good business because it is now worth $3 billion, and 12 years later Cymer has a market value of $2.5 billion, which is lower than before.
From a strategic point of view, the acquisition of Cymer is not worth it, and it is worth it just to get involved in the key nodes of EUV lithography machine technology.
Zhou Xin has memories of the future, but memories from the future won't help him beat the semiconductor industry that has taken decades to build by a global group of 100,000 engineers.
Therefore, whether it is the establishment of Xinxin Technology, the support of Huaguo's semiconductor industry, the creation of Matrix to become the core chain master enterprise in the mobile Internet era, or the acquisition of suppliers of key upstream and downstream technologies of semiconductors, these are all to help Huaguo and his own semiconductor companies benefit from the existing semiconductor industry system as much as possible.
When Xinxin Technology under the control of Zhou Xin frequently attacked the upstream and downstream of the semiconductor industry chain, Mphone's influence gradually began to be released.
Taking mobile payment as an example, the more scenarios that support mobile payment offline, the more powerful mobile payment will be.
Compared with credit cards, mobile payment will not be convenient to go anywhere, its convenience is limited, credit card swiping - signing represents the completion of a payment, mobile payment will call out the QR code - scanning the code represents the completion of a payment.
In fact, there is not much difference between the two, the popularity of electronic payment in China is because the credit card payment habits of the majority of user groups have not been cultivated, under this premise, mobile payment is convenient and that is also an advantage.
At America, credit cards have a history of more than 50 years, and the system is mature enough that consumers have developed habits and dependence on credit cards.
The advantage of NewPay compared with credit cards after the current combination with Mphone is that the discount function, every discount paid with NewPay is visible to the naked eye.
Whether the user receives the consumption voucher from the WeChat group, WeChat official account or from the official website of the enterprise, after using NewPay to pay, each deduction amount will be clearly displayed to the user.
After the e-bill of each month is pulled out, NewPay will deliberately indicate how much money it has saved by taking electronic payment this month.
At first, only Walmart launched this feature, and later more and more consumer companies launched the feature, and by the end of the first quarter, there were 13 consumer brands in the United States that supported NewPay.
Some of these brands are supported in some regions, and some are supported nationwide, among which the fastest support is McDonald's, except for Walmart.
All offline stores are directly operated, resulting in McDonald's headquarters having extraordinary control over stores.
According to the data analysis done by McDonald's in the early stage, NewPay has indeed had an effect on the turnover growth of a single store, and the effect shows a growth trend.
For example, store A began to support NewPay payment, introduced enterprise QQ and established a user base, and its revenue increased by 3% in the first month, 5% in the second month, and 7% in the third month.
In other words, the more popular the Mphone, the more obvious the role of electronic consumption vouchers will be.
At the same time, consumer companies have also found that they can use electronic consumption coupons to promote some products that do not sell well and products that are expiring.
Originally, I needed to put the expiring products in a conspicuous place and put a big sign to tell consumers that these expiring products had a 50% discount.
Consumers will only see the message when they pass by this stall, and now I have shared the message with all the customers in the group through the group, and issued vouchers.
Originally, I also wanted to get a 5% discount, but now I am 7% off offline, and then issue 7% off coupons for expiring products in the user group, these coupons support discounts, 0.7*0.7=0.49.
Similarly, the last expiring goods are 5% off for consumers in the user group, and 7% off for offline consumers, Walmart found that by adopting online and offline synchronous promotions and different pricing, the expiring goods are not only digested more, but also sold at a higher price.
Consumer companies have begun to take the initiative to study how coupons and user groups can be used to maximize the benefits for their businesses.
For consumer groups, discounts are always the most intuitive means of marketing.
In the later generations of taxi wars, mobile phone taxis quickly changed the tradition of Chinese consumers to travel and take taxis, the poor service attitude of the taxi industry is the secondary reason, and the large number of subsidies for mobile phone taxis is the fundamental reason.
Now, too, I can save points with a credit card, but the problem is that the points will not be redeemed until the Year of the Monkey.
With electronic payments, you can save money on every payment, and after entering the second quarter, in addition to Walmart, there are also Carrefour that support NewPay and launch online stores.
In other words, two of the world's three largest retail brands have begun to support NewPay payments.
In the enterprise instant messaging battlefield, enterprise qq uses its unique electronic payment advantages to chase MSN, ICQ and Yahoo Messenger.
In the field of Internet companies and traditional industries, the enterprise QQ barely maintained the first position, and the other three instant messaging software chased very closely, and the market share was not much ahead.
However, in the consumer-facing field, enterprise QQ occupies an absolute lead, and more than 80% of consumer companies only consider choosing enterprise QQ.
In China, it is a non-mainstream exclusive QQ, and when it comes to Ameriken, it has become an instant messaging software used by workplace elites. This change made Pony Ma sigh: orange is orange when it is born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei. There is still some truth in the words of the ancients.
The great popularity of the company QQ in Ameriken has also attracted the attention of the domestic media, especially Tencent, as the first company invested by Zhou Xin at the Millennium Internet Conference, has been very successful in Americacan, which itself is very newsworthy.
"Tencent's "Death" and "Life", the cover article of Southern Weekly, detonated the field of public opinion in China, occupying four pages around the huge success of Tencent's overseas expansion, and making the attention of Internet people in China focus on Tencent.
At this time, the bloody legend has not yet been released, NetEase and Sohu are still on the eve of listing, the Internet is in chaos, and the focus of the media is still focused on the Huaguo men's football team Asian qualifiers to win all six games and advance to the top ten.
The media and the public are paying attention to whether the men's football team can enter the World Cup, although the Asian qualifiers have won all six games, some viewers still think that the top ten matches are the ugly place for the men's football team, and it is difficult to enter the World Cup.
This view is held by old fans, who dare not have too much hope for the men's football team, and can only make themselves feel better in the face of the result by lowering their expectations.
Six of the ten posts on the Tianya forum are analyzing whether the top 10 men's football matches can be successfully qualified.
The cover article of Southern Weekly about Tencent focused the public's attention on Tencent.
In the past, Tencent's success in Silicon Valley was only sporadically concentrated on the Internet, and the vast majority of Chinese people did not know about it, let alone have a concept about it.
Compared with the Internet, 2001 was the end of the golden age of print media, and Southern Weekly had a strong influence in most of China.
Because QQ has been used by almost every netizen, QQ is a product of Tencent, which has had great success in Silicon Valley, pressing Microsoft, Yahoo and Ameriken to play online.
The interweaving of information gives everyone a sense of unreality, and it also makes this news full of explosions.
Ma Huateng, who appeared at the Yanjing Marriott Hotel, was dressed in a striped shirt, with a baby face, a simple hairstyle and thin-rimmed glasses. A slick of talk can vaguely see a hint of greenness and excitement.
After coming out of the Marriott Hotel, as the founder of Tencent, Ma Huateng had just received tens of millions of investments from Zhou Xinju, which freed him from the anxiety of the company's imminent collapse. This is because Tencent's product QQ is liked by a large number of Chinese users, but Tencent has not found a way to make money on QQ, they can only burn money on this product to buy servers and networks, and without investment, Tencent's cash is about to dry up.
The reporters gathered in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel at that time were obviously very interested in Tencent, the first Chinese Internet company to receive Zhou Xin's investment. The reporters asked Ma Huateng a lot of questions, and in the end, these answers did not appear in newspapers and magazines, because more than ten Internet companies have received Zhou Xin's investment in the future.
Against this backdrop, the reporters believed that Tencent was able to win this first place only because they were lucky in the ranking, and Tencent's business model - instant messaging was not attractive compared to portals and e-commerce at that time.
Readers don't even know what instant messaging is, let alone become interested in it.
Later, all newspapers and magazines focused their attention on the three portal giants, NetEase, Sohu and Sina, and NetEase and Sohu were recognized by Zhou Xin, while Sina received nothing. I don't know what kind of state of mind Ma Huateng, who saw these newspapers at that time, faced all this, Tencent is just a supporting role, only a supporting role with one sentence.
Compared with other Internet company leaders, Ma Huateng's media exposure is very low. The unanimous evaluation of him inside and outside the company is "low-key". More often than not, he likes to sit at Tencent's headquarters in Pengcheng's Huaqiang North SEG Science and Technology Park to test the company's products.
The cooperation between Ma Huateng and Zhou Xin is a miracle of Huaguo Internet, and they have jointly created a new business model for an Internet product IM (Instant Messenger) that is recognized by the industry as not profitable.
In recent years, with the soaring growth of "Internet stocks," some people have called the "high-tech industry" represented by the information and network industries a "new economy."
In China, entrepreneurs representing the new economy have no connection with the word "original sin", and their growth depends more on the "blood transfusion" of foreign venture capital, and their profit model is built on a huge user base.
NetEase, Sohu, Alibaba, and Tencent are actually young enterprises that are completely in line with international standards from the inside out.
In February 1998, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong developed the Chinese ICQ, also known as qq. Prior to that, in 1996, four Israelis invented the first instant messaging software, ICQ.
In November 1999, the 10th month of OICQ's launch, the number of registrations had exceeded 1 million. They work so hard just to get most netizens to download QQ from the Internet for free and then use it for free; For this reason, Tencent also has to pay a large amount of server hosting fees to the telecommunications bureau.
As the number of users continued to climb, Ma Huateng originally wanted to sell QQ. I talked about a few of them, but because of the price, I didn't talk about them. QQ couldn't be sold, but the number of users grew rapidly, and the cost of operating QQ became higher and higher, so Tencent's founder team had to go around to raise money. Looking for a bank, the bank said that we had never heard of a mortgage loan based on the "number of registered users", we had never done this kind of business, and we had never heard of any bank that had this kind of loan product.
There is no profit model, only free services can be provided. At that time, there was a popular saying in the industry, "In the Internet field, it is really difficult to see clearly." This field is so new that even the laws of value and business are completely new and even unconventional. ”
Time magazine editor-in-chief Walter's evaluation of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos seems to be an interpretation: "He [Bezos] tried to build a company based on growth rate, not profit." It sounds incredible, but for better or worse, this philosophy has undoubtedly changed the entire economic model of 1999. ”
Knowing this, you can understand why all the companies that run the Internet, including the famous Yahoo, Amazon, etc., seem to be losing money.
The only exception is Zhou Xin, a genius entrepreneur with a new name, but in the field of the new economy, he has an extraordinary dedication to the traditional business model, and his entrepreneurship adheres to one principle, that is, profit.
According to Zhou Xin's speech at the Internet conference, his maximum tolerance for a loss-making Internet company is two years, and if he can't find a profit model in two years, then he will think that the company is not in his investment scope.
If you follow this investment philosophy, Tencent looks like it will be difficult to achieve profitability in two years, but during the Internet conference, Zhou Xin's businessmen, Ma Huateng's Tencent is the first Internet company to receive investment, and looking back now, we have to suspect that Zhou Xin has already thought of a way to make a profit for QQ.
At that time, the heat wave of the Internet blew strongly from the United States on the other side of the ocean, and the Nasdaq index soared from 500 points in 1991 to more than 5,000 points in December 1999, and the market boom ignited the enthusiasm of venture capitalists.
At that time, Tencent's founding team took a business plan of more than 20 pages with six revisions, and tried to get $2.2 million from IDG and Yingke Digital based on the "number of users". As a result, the NASDAQ heat wave came so quickly, and the NASDAQ cold air spread to China so quickly.
The weather in December changes so quickly that the first half of the month is a heat wave in Hawaii, and in the second half of the month it turns into a cold wind in Alaska. The Nasdaq stopped growing and fell by 10%, and the entire venture capital market seemed to be on pause.
For Tencent, their fundraising process has also been suspended, and without any further investment, Tencent's servers and network can no longer be sustained. Under such prospects, the Internet conference at the turn of the century was held, and Zhou Xin's statement undoubtedly relieved all the Internet entrepreneurs present.
At least there is hope, Zhou Xin, who has a huge amount of money in his hands, is like an angel, and Internet entrepreneurs know that they have a place where they can get venture capital.
Even if he fails to get venture capital from Zhou Xinjui, Zhou Xin's statement can also give other foreign venture capital institutions a reassurance. And with a nervous mentality to meet Zhou Xin, Tencent successfully obtained the first venture capital.
With this venture capital, Tencent embarked on the fast track of development, qq show helped Tencent find a way to make money for IM software, and the release of the enterprise qq allowed them to achieve breakeven for the first time.
The enterprise QQ is the first time that Huaguo Internet is not plagiarizing the business model of foreign Internet, but the business model explored by itself, which was quickly copied by the giants of Ameriken after entering Silicon Valley.
According to our interview with Zeng Liqing, one of the founding members of Tencent, he told us that they now have some engineers who work night shifts to deal with the business needs that come back from Americacan. Because after the enterprise QQ landed on Ameriten, in the face of competition from Ameriten's local Internet companies, the enterprise QQ needs to update and iterate faster and faster than them in order to win the market.
Tencent adheres to the attitude of responding to business needs at any time, became a partner of Walmart in the second half of last year, and took the lead in launching the concept of consumer groups at the end of last year.
The consumer group creatively pulls enterprise employees and consumers into the same digital space for dialogue and communication, and in this way, the distance between enterprises and consumers is instantly shortened through group chats. Enterprises can directly provide discounts to consumers through consumer groups, and consumers can give real-time feedback to enterprises through consumer groups. The combination of consumer base and online Walmart has enabled online Walmart to achieve a qualitative leap in user experience.
This is also the most important weapon for the enterprise QQ to expand aggressively in the Ameriken enterprise instant messaging software market. We have no way of knowing whether the creativity behind it comes from Zhou Xin or Tencent itself, or the results of exchanges and discussions between the two sides, but Tencent's magic weapon to defeat competitors in this field is not only product creativity, but also the spirit of service.
Foreign Internet companies can't respond in real time in the processing of enterprise instant messaging software, but Tencent, which is thousands of miles away, can do it, and they can also solve the problem remotely for users if there is a time difference problem. While other companies update versions on a monthly basis, Tencent releases a minor version on a weekly basis, or even a daily basis, and sometimes releases a minor version in three days to solve some of the previous problems.
This kind of service spirit is worth learning from other Internet companies in China."
The Southern Weekly article put Tencent on the cusp, at a time when QQ's registered users had exceeded 30 million, and the number of online users exceeded 3 million.
There are many users of QQ, and there are not many users who know Tencent. In addition to those who pay attention to the Internet industry, they have a little impression of Tencent, and know that this is the first Internet company to receive Zhou Xin's investment at the first Internet Conference the year before last.
The impression of Tencent ends here, Tencent has not been listed, and has only launched the QQ show in China, the QQ show is a product, 3 million online users, and only 100,000 users have made purchases.
The deepest impression of Tencent should be the enterprises in Pengcheng Huaqiang North SEG Science and Technology Park, and the residents living around SEG Science and Technology Park
Tencent's earliest office was in Tencent's SEG Science and Technology Park, and after breaking even last year and deciding to enter Silicon Valley, Tencent also received another venture capital from Zhou Xin, and it was this venture capital that increased Zhou Xin's stake in Tencent to 51%.
The first thing Tencent did after it got rich was to rent all the 4 to 10 floors of the second east building of the entire SEG Science and Technology Park, and the highest of the 4 buildings was only 10 floors, and Tencent only rented 403 on the 4th floor at the beginning.
Employees of other SEG Science Park companies began to notice that no matter how late they left work, the lights in East Building 4 were always on.
The security guards in this building all found out that they didn't have to stay in the security room at all, there were always people in there anyway.
As a result, some employees of other companies went to Tencent to visit the door, only to find out that this company was Tencent, and they worked 24 hours a day and needed to be manned at any time.
These door-to-door employees, some of them went to work at Tencent, just like the original MSN and QQ in China, and then MSN's product leader, Xiong Zhihua, who worked in Microsoft headquarters for nine years, was poached to Tencent, and Zheng Zhihao, the product manager in charge of MSN space, was also poached to Tencent, and now Tencent has an extraordinary attraction for people who like to toss.
Discussions about Tencent spread on major online forums:
"Does anyone know about business QQ? I see that the Southern Weekly has a high evaluation of Tencent, which is a bit like the taste of the light of the Internet in China, and Tencent and Zhou Xinbi are still a little far behind, right? ”
"Mainly because Zhou Xin's achievements in Silicon Valley are very high, and the products he makes are all world-class products, the problem is that Zhou Xin has nothing to do with Huaguo, and the only relationship is that he is a Chinese. Zhou Xin started a business in Silicon Valley, all the employees are from Silicon Valley, and the company registration, tax payment, and target users are all Americacan, we will only feel admiration for Zhou Xin, but we will not have a sense of closeness.
Do you think Quora, Riot Games, and NewPay are Chinese companies? Not at all, even Zhou Xinzai's fanatical supporters would not think so.
Tencent is different, Pengcheng native Chinese enterprises, even if they enter the Ameriken market, research and development is also in China, most of the engineers are also in China, this is a rare Chinese enterprise in Ameriken success.
If the field is limited to China, then this is even more unique. ”
"I'm more interested in whether the enterprise QQ product is Tencent's idea or Zhou Xin's idea, if it's Tencent's own creativity, then it's amazing."
"I think it should be a creative idea that was discussed together, otherwise why didn't Zhou Xin help them design products from other companies that also received Zhou Xin's investment, such as NetEase and Sohu?"
"This needs to look at the proportion of investment, like NetEase and Sohu, which have already experienced financing, and the proportion of equity that can be given to Zhou Xin is very small, and Tencent has written in the Southern Weekly that they have not received investment before, Zhou Xin is the first investment, and Zhou Xin can get much more shares.
Therefore, Tencent is running well, which is the most beneficial for Zhou Xin. ”
"Has anyone ever used Enterprise QQ? I've heard from my friends who work in telecom that they have an instant messaging app called Feixin. ”
"I have used, we are a large state-owned enterprise in Zhejiang Province, the specific name will not be said, last year's purchase of enterprise QQ, after the purchase is indeed very convenient, whether it is internal communication or some cross-departmental work to promote collaboration, with the group chat function has become particularly convenient.
Including the document sharing function, to be honest, it is really easy to use, I can expect it to be successful, but I didn't expect the enterprise QQ to be popular abroad.
Of course, there are also bad places, that is, the enterprise QQ mandatory punch-in, it turns out that we sign in the morning, to put it bluntly, it is a few minutes or even more than ten minutes late, and the leaders who go to the comprehensive department to sign in will also turn a blind eye. Now that the company QQ checks in, you will be notified and criticized if you are a minute late, and you will even be fined in the future.
However, from the perspective of enterprise management, it is obvious that there are no advantages and no disadvantages. ”
"I am from Zhejiang Telecom, and I really want to complain about our own internal Feixin, when the science and technology department said that this is an enterprise instant messaging software, which can bring us a lot of convenience.
As a result, the convenience was not experienced, but the trouble was to find us a lot, and we can't do without, because this is a product strongly promoted by the headquarters, I estimate that the headquarters leaders will work harder after seeing the report of the Southern Weekly on the enterprise QQ. ”
"Can you elaborate on that buddy upstairs? I am from Suzhou Province Telecom, and it is said that our Feixin will also be deployed soon. ”
"First of all, the punch-in function is very perverted, we originally went to work at half past eight, and after the punch-in, the leaders began to ask everyone to punch in at eight twenty-five, and then asked for eight twenty punch-in, and the department leaders in order to compare in front of the leaders above, making more and more exaggerated, and now we have to punch in at eight o'clock, which is equivalent to half an hour early.
In addition, the more exaggerated part is that the leader sends you a message, and if you don't reply for five minutes, Feixin will pop up a pop-up window to remind you that you need to reply, and you say that the software is not clicked on, so you can't see the message sent to you by the leader can be explained, and you don't see the pop-up window, which doesn't make sense. This also leads to nerves all the time, and the need to reply to the leader's messages.
The most perverted thing about Feixin is not this,The most perverted function is that after your computer turns on and leaves the desktop,Five minutes into the screen-off state,After entering the screen-off state, the computer will automatically record your screen-off time and save it to the server background,Every month, the human resources department will pull the account,Display everyone's screen off time in addition to the public rest time,The computer screen-off time。 It made everyone dare not go to the toilet for a long time. ”
"Jie Wai, I clenched my fists after hearing this, is Telecom so perverted?"
"No, our Feixin is about to go online, is it too late for me to move now?"
"Do you think mobile doesn't have similar software?"
"After I listened, it's actually okay to punch in, punching in is a problem of your internal management, the result of comparison between departments, and the latter two functions are indeed a bit perverted."
"Yes, let's not talk about the perverted software, and some of the functions that are conducive to everyone's work are very bad. For example, file sharing, the documents that I obviously saved in the department's shared space disappeared mysteriously, and this kind of thing has happened more than once to me. ”
This post was still discussing Tencent at the beginning, and then it was crooked to the Feixin engaged in Telecom, and no one was discussing Tencent in the back.
Everyone is frantically complaining about Feixin.
As the earliest customer of enterprise QQ, Guangdong Telecom developed Feixin based on the design idea of enterprise QQ products, adding a lot of more perverted functions, which are only promoted internally. The follow-up telecom intends to sell to their upstream and downstream suppliers.
"The landlord is now in San Francisco, and in the promotion of NewPay, I can talk to you about Mphone, enterprise QQ and mobile payment.
After the launch of Mphone, electronic payment has a new concept, that is, mobile payment, before Mphone QR code payment, mobile payment stays in the field of handheld computers, and that is not called payment, that is transfer.
Why can't the handheld computer be transformed into electronic payment, because the handheld computer is a cost for offline stores, and the original barcode scanner only needs to add a QR code scanning head if it wants to support the QR code, and the cost is much cheaper than the handheld computer.
Another important point is that there are very few users with handheld computers, and they cannot support this market. Mobile payments are different, and there will be more and more mobile phones that support them in the foreseeable future.
Since the first half of this year, my experience in San Francisco is that there are more and more stores that support QR code payment, and more and more clerks ask me to add their store's WeChat group.
After Mphone scans the code to join, Mphone enters the group chat interface through WeChat. Bean sprouts supermarket is a chain of supermarkets that have opened many stores in California, mainly selling fruits and vegetables.
This kind of regional supermarkets have begun to support offline QR code payment and introduced enterprise QQ, which can be imagined how popular enterprise QQ is in California.
I don't know about other regions, maybe because California is Zhou Xin's home base, he has extraordinary influence in this area, our Chinese community has always said that if Zhou Xin wants to run for governor of California, he will definitely succeed, but I don't know if his nationality has changed to Ameriken nationality.
Then we are also using enterprise qq internally, both of which are Zhouxin's enterprises, NewPay and Tencent have crossover in many businesses, and we need to cooperate, and our internal acceptance of enterprise qq is very high.
Including when we go outside to communicate with other Internet companies to promote NewPay, hoping that NewPay will become their payment channel, we will introduce the enterprise QQ to the other party by the way, and at the same time, the enterprise QQ will also help NewPay promote in the process of promotion.
Our experience with it is very good, except for the fact that it is a bit annoying to check in, other functions can really make it convenient for us. And Tencent's response speed is really fast, I have dealt with their engineers, 10 o'clock in the morning on our side is one o'clock in the morning of Yanjing time, I look for their engineers in Yanjing, they are still 100 times more energetic to help me answer questions.
This kind of work attitude is impossible to see in the Internet companies on the Amerilican side.
Because enterprise QQ can help consumer companies market their products and help them better do product promotions, almost all consumer companies will only consider Tencent when looking for enterprise instant messaging software service providers to cooperate.
We work very closely with Tencent, and I know a lot of people that Tencent recruits in Silicon Valley, and I know from them that Tencent is really doing a good job in Silicon Valley, and there is no rival in this field.
And since offline mobile payments can only be made through Mphone, coupons can only be used for offline mobile payments, which also leads to more and more users feeling that the pricing of Mphone $599 is not expensive. I used to have a hard time seeing Mphone users outside, but now when I go to the supermarket, about one out of 10 people are using Mphone to complete the payment.
A new ecosystem has emerged between Mphone, QQ and NewPay that allows consumer companies, consumers and software providers to profit from it. ”
Huaguo's Internet companies are very greedy, especially the companies that Zhou Xin has invested, everyone has taken money from Zhou Xin, why is it only you Tencent who have eaten the dividend?
Jackma consulted with Tsai Chongxin, and they also wanted to chat with Zhou Xin and express their demands in a tactful way.
"Joey, Ali also wants to go to sea, as a foreign trade-driven e-commerce company, we can only have greater benefits and a broader future when we go to sea." Joey is Joe Tsai's English name.
Today's recommendation, so I wrote 10,000 words, and I'm always diligent now, right?
In addition, I want to write about the domestic influence, I look back and always feel that the pace is too fast, and some places that can be written in detail are not written in detail, and the crow still wants to write this part of the content in detail.
Finally, 10,000 words for a monthly pass!
