Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

"Mr. Lu, are you planning to start a war with Goose Chang and Qiandu at the same time?"

Regarding the two new projects mentioned by Lu Yi, everyone present thought that Lu Yi was declaring war on Goose Factory and Qiandu!

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Don't be so serious. I didn't say that future technology will only be an on-campus Internet cafe?"

"Besides, Goose Chang and Qiandu are not as scary as you think."

"Let's talk about Qiandu first. Although it occupies the largest market share in the country, the current situation is undecided. There are also Guge, Yahu Search, etc. Who can break through the siege? In fact, everyone has a chance."

"As for the goose factory..."

"Yes, Goose Factory is indeed the leader in the domestic instant messaging field, but it is not without rivals."

"In November 2002, NetEase launched NetEase Bubble, an instant messaging software, which copied QQ indiscriminately. As long as QQ has it, NetEase Bubble has it."

"And in just one year, thanks to the large-scale promotion campaign of [hanging up bubbles to send text messages], the number of registered users of Wangyibaopao reached 15 million, with a record of 500,000 people online at the same time."

"This also makes Wangyipaopao the second largest domestic instant messaging software after QQ in terms of domestic market share."

"Of course, there is still a big gap between the user base of NetEase Paopao and QQ, but this does not mean that NetEase Paopao has no chance to shake QQ's status."

Based on past life memories.

In early 2004, in order to challenge QQ, Ding Sanshi developed an explosive weapon, the Skype instant voice communication tool.

It was the development of this voice communication tool that gave Ding Sanshi the confidence to join several other instant messaging software to launch an attack on QQ.

"In addition to NetEase Paopao, Microsoft's MSN has also entered the country, trying to challenge the status of QQ."

"In addition, Xinlang announced the acquisition of Langma not long ago, and the instant messaging software Langma UC developed by Langma has been renamed Xinlang UC. The number of registrations is not low, and it ranks second in domestic market share. For the three companies I just mentioned.”

"In addition to the above four companies, Sohu, Telecom, etc. also want to come in and disrupt the situation. The pressure on Goose Factory is not ordinary. As competitors, we need to add some pressure to Goose Factory."

"And according to my estimation, in February or March next year, several companies such as Wangyipaopao, Microsoft MSN, Xinlang UC, etc. may join forces to launch a war of encirclement and suppression against Goose Factory QQ."

"With all the heroes vying for success in the Central Plains, the field of instant messaging has great potential in the future. The potential even exceeds that of the school network, so I must enter this field."

"Of course, we can choose to stay dormant first and see if this war against QQ can be fought. If it does happen, then we will directly have a oriole behind us. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Everyone had to admire Lu Yi's analysis of the instant messaging market.

Obviously.

Before this, Lu Yi made a detailed understanding before he could explain it so clearly.

As for Lu Yi's decision to enter the field of instant messaging, he did not make it on the spur of the moment, but after careful consideration.

No one had any objections.

Like Liu Hong and Lan Lan, the initial team who started Lu Yi's business blindly worshiped Lu Yi.

And the executives hired with high salaries will not object.

Because the opposition was ineffective, Lu Yi was the one who said the right thing in the company.

"Mr. Lu, what is the third project?" someone asked.

"The third project is to enter the gaming field."

"Of course, start by setting up a gaming department in the company."

"After the school beauty selection event on the school network is over and becomes popular, I plan to launch several social games, so I need to be prepared first."

"I am also very optimistic about the gaming industry. The future market will be at least trillions."

"Of course, we will occupy a pit first, and when the time is right, we will vigorously deepen our efforts in the game industry. In the future, we may even split the department and establish a game subsidiary."

All right.

Everyone still had no objection.

Because it’s useless to object.

Lu Yi has always been arbitrary when it comes to major decisions.

Of course, Lu Yi is willing to discuss other aspects together, such as unimportant naming issues.

In the end, after everyone’s discussion and voting, everyone unanimously decided that the name of the search engine would be [Jisou] and the name of the instant messaging would be [WeChat].

After determining the name of the project, the next step is the question of the person in charge.

"Lao Yu, you have a background in search engines, and you have unique advantages in this area. So, will you be responsible for the Jisou project? Is there any problem?"

Lu Yi looked at Yu Jun.

Tieba has been completed, and Yu Jun has no burden on him now, so he just handed over the Jisou project to him.

Yu Jun nodded: "No problem."

"As for the WeChat project, I have a suitable candidate in mind, but I need to recruit him." Lu Yi said.

At this stage, there are only a few people in the company who can lead a project alone, except him, Yu Jun.

As for Du Qing, although he is also very good at technology, he is not good at network security and is not very good at project development.

It can be said that Du Qing is the protective umbrella of the entire company from cyberattacks.

so.

We still have to find a headhunter to continue poaching people, and this person Lu Yi has already been identified.

That is Zhang Xiaolong, who is later known as the "Father of WeChat".

In 2000, Zhang Xiaolong sold Foxmail to Boda Company for 12 million yuan and served as the company's vice president.

On March 16, 2005, Goose Factory acquired Foxmail software, and Zhang Xiaolong joined Goose Factory as the general manager of Pengcheng R&D Department, taking overall responsibility for and leading the qq mailbox team.

In November 2010, the Penguin WeChat project was officially established and Zhang Xiaolong was in charge.

The birth of WeChat has also officially replaced QQ as the instant messaging software with the largest user base in China, with 1.1 billion users. No other software can shake Goose Factory's position in the field of instant messaging.

It can be said that Zhang Xiaolong is indispensable for the Goose Factory's continuous development and growth in later generations.

How could such a talent be left to Goose Factory?

after all.

No matter how awesome Lu Yi is, he is still a human being.

If he can bring out a group of capable people who can take charge of their own business in the future, this is the result he wants most.

Because this is related to the company's future expansion.
