Rebirth of the Wild Age - chapter 690
Brother Xiao Ma came in person, and went directly to Song Weiyang’s house.
Lin Zhuoyun is still working at the magazine, and the little six is over three years old. She is currently squatting in the kindergarten, and she doesn’t know which little girl is pulling her pigtails.
Song Weiyang personally made a cup of tea for Brother Xiao Ma, then sat back on the sofa and smiled and asked, “What is so urgent?”
“I flew directly from Hong Kong City,” Xiao Ma Ge Niu took a sip, put down his teacup and said, “Tencent has repurchased 30 million US dollars of stock.”
Song Weiyang asked: “Lack of money?”
Xiao Ma said: “Lack of money, but I can persist.”
Tencent’s stock repurchase has little to do with the invasion of n, but was smashed by the mobile company.
Just two years after its establishment, China Mobile was poor and white, so it used Monternet to win over Internet companies. Including Sina, Netease, Sohu, and Tencent, all of them were saved by Monternet’s wireless value-added services in the winter of the Internet. At the same time, China Mobile also made a lot of money.
However, the wireless value-added services of these Internet companies are developing too fast, and more and more Internet users are accessing phones through the Internet, and most of the profits do not belong to China Mobile.
After China Mobile was full of wings, it turned around and gave its partners a knife.
The mobile chat service, which accounts for one-third of Tencent’s total revenue, was formally terminated by China Mobile at the beginning of the year. Immediately afterwards, the profit sharing of the mobile short message service, China Mobile only took 15 in the past, but now suddenly increased to 50.
It is not only Tencent that is affected, but all those who rely on Monternet’s business have suffered. NetEase directly chose to withdraw from this field and concentrate its efforts to enter the online game market. Sohu’s main source of income has now become Renren. Sina doesn’t know what it’s doing. Anyway, it has a little bit of everything, but it doesn’t see its main business.
The worst is t, this company was once known as the “king of p”, and its Monternet wireless value-added business once surpassed Tencent. For t, China Mobile is his own father, who knows that his father suddenly turned his back on his son. In order to eat, the son had to go out and be kidnapped.
How did t transform?
Let’s talk about one of the new businesses. I rented a house in the outskirts of Beijing, hired hundreds of women, and conducted chats via internet phone, and they talked about the kind of content with colors. : Interactive voice response service.
These two operations of China Mobile directly cut Tencent’s profits in half, and monthly revenue fell by more than 60.
Therefore, in April, Tencent’s stock price plummeted again. Investment institutions lacked confidence and immediately put pressure on Tencent. Tencent was forced to repurchase 10 of its outstanding shares, pulling the stock price back abruptly. It just so happened that n took advantage of the vacancy, and after more than half a year, Tencent was defeated steadily. Investment institutions once again expressed their concerns and clamored to reduce their holdings and sell off. Tencent could only buy back US$30 million worth of stocks from the investment institutions.
In the two repurchases, Tencent spent nearly 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars in total, and the company has run out of funds.
If you want to describe it in one sentence, it is that the leaking of the house happens to rain overnight, and the timing of the trouble is too fatal.
Xiao Ma said: “What Tencent lacks now is not money, but the ability to continue hematopoiesis. Although the share of wireless text messaging services has been increased to 50, I guess this is not the end. Reliance on Monternet. And how to get rid of it, all must focus on QQ, so the development of QQ is the top priority, but n has come to China to spoil the situation again!”
Xiao Ma expected it well. Although China Mobile has taken back the right to operate the Internet phone and increased the share of Internet SMS, it will definitely not be satisfied. In another year, China Mobile will launch “Fetion” and forcibly merge “Mobile qq”, which will be named “Fetion qq” during the transition period.
If Tencent cannot find new profit growth points before Mobile launches Fetion, then the company’s profits will be cut by more than 30% again!
“So, you let me be the QQ platform and openly support QQ?” Song Weiyang asked.
Xiao Ma said: “Tencent has no funds for publicity, and n’s promotion strategy is too powerful. I never said that qq is just an entertainment chat tool, but it was forcibly promoted by n as an entertainment software. Now the business market has been n grabbed it all! You are the richest man in China. If you stand up and support QQ, then you can rectify the name of QQ and reverse everyone’s misconceptions about QQ.”
Song Weiyang laughed and said: “You don’t have to be afraid, just do your own products with peace of mind. n Never do localization, it is the same on a global scale, and the development rights of each function are held in Microsoft headquarters. The group of Microsoft headquarters Uncle, how is it possible to know the needs of Chinese users? If I can gain a foothold in China, I will follow Bill Gates with shoes in the future.”
Xiao Ma said: “Although they do not have a local advantage, they have a global advantage! After announcing the alliance with Yahoo, they directly occupied nearly 50 shares of the global network communication market, and the number of users is close to 300 million! 300 million people worldwide can Use n to communicate, but the actual number of QQ users is far from that many. What’s more, n now grows millions of users in China every month, and it will not take long to actually threaten the existence of QQ!”
n This year is really big, and it has really increased several million users a month. With this trend going on, next year, all Chinese netizens will use n.
Of course, the premise is that n does not force old users to uninstall one after another.
Song Weiyang leaned Erlang’s legs and held up a teacup to warm his hands and said, “I want you to watch “News Network” more and study more national policies. Have you followed suit?”
“I didn’t like to read the news since I was a kid.” Xiao Ma said.
Song Weiyang smiled and said: “China has relevant regulations that foreign investors are not allowed to set up information data centers in China. Do you know this policy?”
“It seems that there is such a rule.” Xiao Ma is a little uncertain.
Song Weiyang analyzed: “So, the user data of n can only be placed on the server in the United States, and then transferred through the server of China Telecom. Do you understand what I mean?”
Brother Xiao Ma thought for a while, shook his head and said, “I don’t understand very much.”
At this time, n’s large file transfer problem has not been fully exposed, because the Chinese government has not really taken any action yet.
Song Weiyang laughed and said: “You can report the situation to the relevant departments. Almost all large companies in China use n for office, especially companies with multinational businesses, which can only use n for overseas contacts. QQ is temporarily unable to contact People grab business. How much business data these companies send through n, all of which must be stored in US servers, are they suspected of threatening national security?”
“You mean, let the government intervene?” Xiao Ma said and suddenly shook his head. “It’s impossible. The government can’t intervene in this kind of thing, let alone interfere with the normal development of n in China.”
Song Weiyang had a tea ceremony: “It is naturally impossible to publish policies on the surface, but it is still possible for the telecommunications department of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to limit the speed and flow of the transit point of n. At that time, the large file of n will be released or issued. Half of it won’t start, will anyone use it for business office?”
Brother Xiao Ma thought carefully: “It is easy for Microsoft to find a response strategy, right?”
Song Weiyang put down his teacup: “Of course there is a countermeasure. The first is to establish a joint venture company, and it must be a joint venture company with a Chinese team at the top, and the joint venture company will set up an information data center in China. The second type is to use n user data, Let it be hosted by a third party. What kind of strategy do you think Microsoft will adopt.”
“It’s impossible. Microsoft won’t accept either of these two strategies.” Xiao Ma suddenly laughed. “This method is wonderful. I will send someone to Beijing to respond to the situation!”
Song Weiyang said: “How about it, is this idea still useful?”
Brother Xiao Ma gave a thumbs up and joked rather rarely: “As expected, it is Dr. Ma, it is really tricky!” In fact, he really wanted to say that he was old and cunning.
Song Weiyang said: “When the telecommunications side starts, you can stand up and grab the large file transfer function of QQ to make sense. Let the executives of those large companies determine for themselves whether they continue to use the junk product like n, or Use a product with mature functions like qq! As for me as a qq platform, at least I have to wait until there is a problem with the large file transfer function of n.”
Xiao Ma said: “If there is a problem with the large file transfer of n, then I am absolutely sure to win the battle, and I won’t have to trouble you anymore.”
“In fact, it’s the mess of n in China, you really don’t have to worry too much,” Song Weiyang asked with a smile, “Do you know the cooperation between Lianzhong Games and n?”
The QQ game is to imitate the ZLianzhong game, the two companies are now deadly enemies, and the Lianzhong game has also joined the “Anti-QQ Alliance” initiated by n.
Xiao Ma nodded and said: “I know, Lianzhong has also contracted n’s game channel.”
n Advertising revenue for the seven months of this year (founded in May) is equivalent to the advertising revenue for the entire year of the communication. The key is that n contracted all channels to cooperative units. The game channel is doing it, and the news channel is doing it. There is no connection between them, and the content is chaotic!
You can understand that the fantasy channel is contracted to a certain company, and the metropolitan channel is contracted to another company. The user accounts are interlinked, but the channels are engaged in different activities, the readers of each, what the **** is this like?
n is the core platform for n’s development in China, and the decision-making makers are simply ignorant if they dare to play like this!
Song Weiyang couldn’t help but said: “Lianzhong is also unlucky. Last year, the joint venture was taken over by South Koreans. This year, he spent a lot of money to contract n’s game channel. Statistics after one month of contracting, n only attracted more than 20 users to Lianzhong.”
“Is there such a thing?” Xiao Ma felt unbelievable.
Even if you go to forums and post bars to post advertisements, you will not only attract more than 20 users!
Song Weiyang laughed and said: “It’s true. Lianzhong employees can’t stand the management of Koreans. They have changed jobs a lot during the past year. A former employee went to 17173 to post a comment and exposed the matter. Now I can’t bear it. Netizens of n use this to ridicule.”
“I really don’t know, but this matter can be used for publicity!” Xiao Ma felt that he had grasped the handle of n again.
Song Weiyang said: “Most of n’s revenue this year ~www.mtlnovel.com~ comes from n. Only one month attracts more than 20 users. Can the companies that contract the channel be in a hurry? I guess it won’t take long.’ The Anti-QQ Alliance’s broke up on its own.”
I also want to make virtual props like qq show. This kind of new income-increasing function has a very high priority, but the problem is that it can’t be done!
The reason is that n is in South Korea and is cooperating with local Korean companies. South Korea’s rate of launching virtual fee items and claiming that it owns patents, if you want to promote it in other countries around the world, it must share the profits of South Korean cooperative enterprises. This inexplicable copyright dispute has been going on for more than half a year, and neither party is willing to let go. As a result, n cannot launch similar virtual props outside of Korea.
No way, who made Microsoft engage in the globalization of n, and South Korea n took the lead in launching similar functions.
It is precisely because of this precedent that Microsoft no longer cooperates with companies in other countries to operate n, and withdraws n’s global R&D rights. Any region who wants to develop new features, even if it is just a code modification, must be approved by Microsoft headquarters!
For Tencent, the South Korean friend gave a great assist.
