Rebirth: I Want to Surf

WeChat Business Unit.

Zhang Xiaolong sat alone in the office without doing anything, not even smoking.

From the end of October to the end of November, the 99 Group made a sudden effort, yes, it was a sudden effort, as if the previous actions were all small troubles.

From mobile phones to channels to content, WeChat has been encircled and suppressed in all directions.

After this month, he didn't know how many users Weichat had increased, but the number of WeChat users was clearly in front of him: 23 million!

After entering the 20 million mark, WeChat fell into a quagmire, struggling, and the growth rate of users became very slow.

Because the end of the year is approaching, manufacturers will basically release mobile phones this year. The sales of Apple, Samsung, HTC, LG, etc. are very stable every month, no more, no less, just hovering in a range.

Only the thousand yuan mobile phones of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom can achieve a large increase in a short period of time. The thousand yuan machine is like Pinduoduo, presenting the most real income class.

And Yao Yuan just hit this fatal spot, occupying the channels of China Unicom and China Telecom, and he is relentless in mobile, fighting for every inch of land.

This is the reason why WeChat has only increased by 3 million users in the past month.

"How many Weichat users are there now?"

"38 million?"

"Or 40 million?"

Zhang Xiaolong sighed, not only depressed but also helpless, every step of WeChat is correct, but every step is lagging behind the other party!

"..."

He sat for a while longer, picked up his mobile phone and called the boss, and said, "Mr. Ma, I take full responsibility. It's because of my ability that I failed to fight this battle well."

"..."

Brother Xiao Ma was also silent for a moment, and said: "It's not your problem. 99's plan and strength have exceeded my expectations. I think WeChat is very important, and we must compete for the market, but that's all.

99 was able to promote Weichat at any cost, even sacrificing some business. "

As he said that, Brother Xiaoma changed his voice and said, "We haven't lost yet, 99 has occupied China Unicom and Telecom channels, but they can't cooperate forever.

We are one step late this year, but we can book a new phone for next year, and we can also go to China Mobile... As long as we give WeChat a two-month development period, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory! "

"Okay, I see!"

Zhang Xiaolong hung up the phone, became more energetic, and immediately started to arrange.

Mobile phone pre-installed software, not ready to use, must be finalized before production. This year's machine is hopeless, not necessarily next year!

If Tencent talks about it now, it is possible that WeChat will be pre-installed on the new phone next year. Coupled with the release of App Store, there is indeed a chance to turn defeat into victory.

…………

Tencent also understands that it is not very useful to find a manufacturer for this kind of thing, and the efficiency is also low.

You have to find the operator.

Ever since, the three major operators of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom began to be frantically entangled by various negotiators and public relations personnel.

"Tencent has a wealth of APP resources, and the volume of mobile games is also growing rapidly. We can jointly develop and launch mobile phones with Tencent APP pre-installed... Based on the income generated by the APP, we will not take any money except for the share given to the manufacturer!"

Tencent does not have a mobile phone, so it can only share profits in APP revenue.

Now this area is quite chaotic, there is no standard, Meizu's split is 5:5, and some other manufacturers have higher and some lower.

Tencent is very sincere, but the problem is that operators really don't want to make money now. If they want to make money, why are they still subsidizing manufacturers?

People are in order to develop 3G users and seize the market.

And this, only a mobile phone can do it! Tencent does not have a mobile phone, so its life is short.

"Okay, I won't send it off, you go slowly!"

In a certain office of China Unicom, the vice president received a guy from Tencent, and turned around to call Yao Yuan.

"Hello? Brother Yao!"

"What's the matter?"

"Well, it's a bit hard to say, Tencent came to us... They are willing to give us a profit on the app, and they are targeting the new phone next year.

You know, it is not easy for us to coordinate with manufacturers. It has been very difficult to hold down the past few months, and it is not guaranteed next year. "

"I'll give you another 50 yuan for the purchase price of Meizu 3, and the same for Meizu!"

"Okay! My brother is straightforward, so I will fight for it... By the way, you must have a head for this matter, don't make it a year or two, then I really can't afford it."

"Three months, three more months!"

"Oh, three months is okay, you don't know, I do this job..."

"Dude!"

Yao Yuan interrupted him and said: "You don't need to test, and you don't need to cry with me. Let me tell you this, if there is no risk of bribery, I will directly put a 1 billion check in front of you!"

Ga!

The vice president was suddenly frightened.

He didn't feel that the other party was talking big, but really had this idea!

…………

Entering December, the end of the year.

Bad news came one after another. In addition to the progress made in mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom are still on the defensive. 99's intention is more direct. Anyway, the mobile share is small. If I give up, I can win!

The competition has reached the moment when the most anxious bayonet sees red.

Seeing that the operators were not good enough, Tencent bypassed China Unicom and China Telecom, directly contacted those manufacturers, gave them money, and pre-installed WeChat.

Some manufacturers are really interested, but this will not be the next generation. This will be one of the domestic machines, and all rely on the operators to eat. Coveting the little money in front of me is not worth the loss.

And there is a news circulating among them: Meizu will launch a thousand yuan phone soon!

Meizu's thousand yuan phone is definitely different from them, and the operator will definitely support it strongly, so you can't offend the operator, so as not to lose your share.

This is not to bury the manufacturers, just look at the performance in reality.

The four major brands of China, China, Cool, and Lianqian Yuanji are full of food at this stage, and they are immersed in the subsidized iron rice bowl and do not want to make progress. As a result, after a few years, the subsidy is gone. Except for Huawei's precautions, the remaining few are rushing and dying.

So expecting them to be ambitious, and must kill the Meizu, it is better to expect the rats to become duck necks!

…………

"call……"

In the office of Yingshi Building, Yao Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

Since entering October, he has been hanging a big stone in his heart, and now it finally fell to the ground. Looking at the number of users approaching 50 million, he knew he had won the competition at this stage.

Perhaps it is also the competition that determines the final outcome!

"No no, you can't take it lightly..."

Yao Yuan became vigilant again, reviewing every step, thinking about every possible counterattack Tencent might make, and suddenly shouted: "Cheng Wei, book me a plane ticket!"

"I'm going to America, right away!"

...

Tencent's dying struggle, did not struggle up.

When the capital entered winter, Xiao Ma, who was far away in Shenzhen, experienced what it meant to be "heavy snow in the southern sun."

"cell phone!"

"channel!"

He has never felt the weight of these two things like at this moment, and secretly made up his mind to make mobile phones unpredictable, but the channels must be made!

App treasure must grow stronger!

As for WeChat, Xiao Ma also knows that there is basically no chance of winning.

But he was still not convinced, he still had one last move, and he ordered decisively:

"Complain to the competent authority that 99 uses illegal means to bundle channels, monopolize the market, suppress WeChat, and force users to choose one of the two. We request a reasonable investigation and result!"
