From retail to global domination
Chapter 436 Acquisition of YY
Fight for payment port.
Sooner or later there will be a big war between the three parties.
It is unrealistic to try to inhibit the development of Ahri and Penguin.
It's already 2005, Penguin has developed into a giant, and Ahri has also received an investment of one billion US dollars, and will usher in rapid development.
It seems that competition in the payment field is unavoidable, so we can only implement layout.
To be honest, in the payment field, Zhang Yang really has no confidence to defeat these two companies!
Lao Ma's personal charm is absolutely unparalleled, and Penguin's Wechat is even more powerful.
In the field of instant messaging, people are eager to make public, but now is obviously not the right time to enter, and it is difficult to compete with Penguin.
As long as Penguin dominates the field of instant messaging, Wechat will still appear in the future, even if Zhang Yang enters this field early.
The other party will never allow them to develop and grow.
In this case, we can only enter the field of instant messaging now.
"By the way, what do you think about us entering the field of instant messaging?" Zhang Yang looked at Li Ying and asked.
Even though Zhang Yang is a reborn person, he is not as familiar with the Internet field as Li Ying.
He just knows those products will be popular and knows how to operate them, but implementation and analysis still require Li Yinglai.
"It's hard!
Penguins have completely dominated the field of instant messaging. If they want to grab food from the tiger's mouth, they will provoke a crazy counterattack from the other party." After thinking about it, Li Ying continued: "If it was two years ago, I would have been confident of grabbing food from the tiger's mouth, but
Now!"
She stopped talking, she believed Zhang Yang would understand.
The best opportunity has now been missed.
At present, instant messaging is the dominant one. Everyone who knows how to access the Internet basically has one QQ, and some even have ten or eight. How can we compete with each other?
You can't compete at all.
"Da da da..." Zhang Yang doesn't know, but if you don't enter now, it will be even harder to enter in the future!
With the backing of Penguin, when the mobile Internet comes, WeChat can still quickly occupy the market relying on Penguin.
When Penguin developed WeChat, even Rebus wisely backed down.
There is no competition at all, the two sides are not on the same level.
"By the way, buy this software." Zhang Yang knocked on the table and turned the computer to Li Ying.
"Yy?" Li Ying looked confused. She had never heard of this software. It seemed like it was instant messaging.
"Well, this is a good name. Let's acquire it first."
In the last life, the only instant messaging that survived and developed well was YY.
yy found a new way to develop voice chat before it broke out in instant messaging. Penguin didn't want to acquire yy at first, and the price offered was not low, but it was still rejected by yy's boss, and then Penguin entered the voice field.
When he rejected Penguin, the psychological struggle of YY boss never stopped.
He knew very well that once he rejected Penguin, the other party would definitely enter the voice field and use Penguin's huge traffic to oppress YY.
But even so, he still refused!
In 2010, the founder of yy received a Penguin acquisition bid: US$150 million in cash, and later returned the founder's stock at double the price. Under the temptation of huge benefits, the founder insisted not to sell the company, and finally landed in 2012
Beautiful Country Nasdaq completed its listing.
After the acquisition of YY failed, Penguin restarted qqtalk, which had been suspended in May 2008.
Subsequently, Penguin's many popular online games such as "League of Legends" have built-in Qt voice, and they have vigorously promoted it through gift packages, points and other player support programs. However, after all, it is three years later than YY Voice. Although Qt Voice is backed by Penguin.
Shu has snatched some of YY Voice’s market share, but has still not been able to shake YY Voice’s dominant position in the gamer market.
After the company went public, the founder said in an interview with the media that the key to yy being able to grow under the noses of penguins was to "keep a low profile, not shout, and not attract the attention of giants." This gave yy a sufficient "development period."
, after completing the accumulation of technology and users, it has grown up when it was discovered by the giants, and it is difficult to be killed by "micro-innovation" again.
Since this routine allowed yy to survive the Penguin ban, why can't he use it?
Keep a low profile, this is a must.
You must keep a low profile and never let the penguins react. By the time they react, yy is no longer a challenge to the opponent.
Technology accumulation.
yy was established in April 2005 and went online in 2008. In the past three years, yy has been polishing its technology.
By the time Penguin noticed them, it was already 2010. YY had been polishing its technology for another two years, five years in total. By this time, their voice technology was already very mature. Penguin was considered a rising star, and it was already difficult to catch up.
In terms of voice technology accumulation, Penguin needs at least three years to catch up, at least.
You know, while you are catching up, the yy technical team is also making progress.
In the rapidly changing Internet, a lot can be done in three years, and who knows what will happen by then.
However, yy is only a successful voice software, and it is still difficult to break up the huge Penguin users!
It’s already good that they can protect themselves, so why bother competing with Penguin for users?
This is what penguins want too.
The audience in the voice field is not that big. People who like to play games go to YY. People usually use Penguin to communicate in private.
If Penguin did not enter the voice field and YY grew to a certain extent, it might compete with Penguin for users in the core field of instant messaging, but Penguin did not give them a chance.
Even if I can't compete with you, I still want to lock this product in a small circle.
Obviously, Penguin succeeded.
In the end, yy was really locked in the voice field. When they developed to a certain level, they suddenly discovered that games had begun to slowly shift towards mobile games. Fewer people went to Internet cafes to play games, especially with the emergence of smart phones, Internet cafes were even more
There is no one left.
By this time, yy had already started to go downhill.
There is no way, yy can't just develop in the voice field, it must transform!
But the question is, how do they transform?
It is unrealistic to compete with Penguin. In this case, we can only switch to the live broadcast field!
I have to say that the founder of yy does have a good vision. Everyone can see how the live broadcast field will develop in the future.
It's just unfortunate that yy did enter in the early stage, but it didn't have strong financial support, nor did it have enough traffic to compete with Kuaijia and Douyin, and was eventually surpassed by the two parties.
Even though there was no capital to support YY, it was eventually acquired by Du Niang.
Du Niang’s traffic is indeed good, but Du Niang is still not as powerful as Ali Penguin. Even the founder of Electronic Dog is more courageous than the founder of Du Niang. Otherwise, Du Niang would be overtaken by every internet company even though it has the upper hand.
transcend.
Before 2010, Du Niang was the number one Internet company in China.
It may have reached its peak. The founder lost his passion. He was surpassed by Penguin and Ahri, and he could never catch up. In the end, Du Niang couldn't even see their taillights.
It's fair to say that it lost to Ahri and Penguin, but later it was surpassed by other companies.
In fact, Zhang Yang could completely remind the other party in this life, after all, he is the largest shareholder of Du Niang, but after thinking about it, Zhang Yang gave up this idea.
Even if he reminds him, the other party will not listen.
In this case, there is no need to do useless work, which may make Lao Li unhappy.
Let him do whatever he wants. Du Niang's stock price is rising steadily, although it is a little slow, but Zhang Yang doesn't care.
He can definitely use Du Niang’s traffic to develop YY and other Internet products.
Internet entrepreneurs who start businesses all have one characteristic: they are extremely paranoid. They are the kind that even ten bulls cannot pull back. In other words, without this character, they would not be able to make their companies so big.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yang doesn't plan to mention Lao Li.
There was no need to remind him, maybe it was because he was not too strenuous. In that case, what should he worry about?
"I know, this company seems to be in Yangcheng, I'll contact you right away." After saying that, Li Ying turned around and left.
"Wait."
Li Ying turned around and looked at Zhang Yang in confusion.
"Don't let the other party know that YY was acquired by Huifeng Group, and keep it secret from the media. I don't want Penguin to be defensive." If you want to develop, you must follow the development trajectory of YY in its previous life, secretly entering the village and shooting.
Li Ying was startled, then said: "I know."
"yy!" Zhang Yang muttered in his heart.
I don’t know if YY can compete with Penguin if he gets it.
In the previous life, YY was unable to compete with Penguin in terms of funding and technology, but Zhang Yang was different.
He has accumulated a lot of technical personnel, technical personnel in various fields, and all the Internet companies in China may not have more and more skilled technical personnel than Huifeng Group.
Everyone in Huifeng doesn’t know that Zhang Yang values talents.
In addition to cultivating, there is also excavation.
As long as there are technical talents at home and abroad, Zhang Yang will dig them up and pay them high salaries, even Penguin is no exception.
Penguin also had many technical talents poached by Zhang Yang.
Because of this, Brother Ma often scolded Zhang Yang behind his back.
But it was just a curse.
No one in the country knows that this guy is hoarding talents. No one knows exactly what he wants to do. Anyway, he will never let go of the talents he can poach.
In order to prevent talents from being poached, Brother Ma has no choice but to use stocks to retain people!
There is nothing we can do about this, otherwise what should we do?
If you can't beat Huifeng with money, then you can only use stocks to retain people!
But even so, Huifeng still didn't stop trying to pry people off.
At present, many domestic Internet companies are scolding Zhang Yang behind his back. This guy is so shameless, poaching technical talents everywhere, and some companies have even poached them!
Penguin monopolizes the field of instant messaging, so Zhang Yang is a talented person who wants to monopolize the entire Internet.
Relatively speaking, this guy is more hateful.
But there is no trick, whoever makes people rich is so willful.
Zhang Yang also knew that these guys often scolded him behind his back, but he didn't care.
Just scold him, and he is indispensable. There are more people scolding him every day. He has 1.8 million, which is still the least. If he doesn't care about it, will he still be alive?
If 100 million people scolded him, would he still commit suicide?
Only mediocre people do not attract criticism.
So, Zhang Yang doesn't care and still goes his own way.
It took three years to develop the yy language. When it comes to Zhangyang, it will surpass the opponent's three-year progress in one year.
He knew in his heart that with his huge R&D team, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to create a voice software?
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here..]
But now I want to acquire YY, and I don’t know if the other party will sell it.
The current yy is in the research and development stage and should not be worth much money.
Li Ying didn't want Zhang Yang to wait for long. In less than two days, the other party agreed to sell yy, and 20 million was packaged and sold by the founder of yy.
It's rare to meet a fool, and he would be a fool not to sell.
With these 20 million funds, they can start a business again and develop software that is exactly the same as yy. Anyway, when the other party acquired yy, they did not ask them not to try this industry again.
In this case, why not continue research and development after getting the money?
Well, both Zhang Yang and Li Ying ignored this problem before, thinking that after the acquisition, the other party would take the money and go away.
For a project that is currently being developed and has just been developed, 20 million is already a lot.
Of course, even if he knew what this guy wanted to do, Zhang Yang wouldn't care. By 2008, the cucumber dishes were already cold.
It is estimated that at that time, their software had been online for two years.
Although the other party has funds, it can’t do it without technology.
At present, all the top technical talents in China have been harvested by him and brought to Huifeng.
"Boss, I always feel that these 20 million are a bit of a waste!" Li Ying sighed.
Twenty million to buy a name is not a high cost.
"It's not bad, yy, don't you think this domain name is good, on par with Penguin?" Zhang Yang smiled nonchalantly.
It’s really not a loss to buy the yy domain name for 20 million.
"By the way, put yy under my personal name so that the attention will be smaller. If it is put under Huifeng Group, it will probably spread to everyone in a few days," Zhang Yang said.
"It's already in your name." Li Ying gave Zhang Yang a charming look and said.
"By the way, I will give you 3% of the shares and you will run it." Zhang Yang knew very well that he would never be able to keep up with Li Ying in terms of the Internet. In this case, just give her the shares, and sooner or later it would be his.
Well, if Li Ying knew what this guy was thinking, he would have the idea of beating him to death.
This is to have both wealth and sex!
He really wanted to have both wealth and sex, he was even more hateful than that Li Kui, but it was a pity that she didn't know what Zhang Yang was thinking.
"Okay." Li Ying immediately felt better after hearing that Zhang Yang gave her shares again.
Everyone in Huifeng doesn't know that Zhang Yang's paranoia about shares has reached a perverted level.
Except for top technical personnel, no one else can get shares.
And Li Ying became the first person to get shares in Huifeng Group, and now he has given her shares. Does this prove that she is special in Zhang Yang's heart?
The more she thought about it, the happier she became.
"By the way, when are we going to go online?" Li Ying looked at Zhang Yang and asked.
"It will be researched and developed for one year, and it will be launched by this time next year."
"Okay, I will give yy to the technical department." In the past, only Zhang Yang could be mobilized in the technical department, but now Li Ying also has some rights.
After all, Li Ying is a senior executive of the company, so Zhang Yang should appropriately release some rights...
