Reborn? The Kind You Can Choose!

Late at night, exactly 12 o'clock in the morning.

NetEase CEO Ding Sanshi was awakened from his sleep by a phone call.

"Hello?"

With sleepy eyes, he answered the phone and subconsciously looked at the caller ID. The name on it was his partner, Li Yanbin, the chief financial officer of NetEase, who graduated from the accounting department of Xiangjiang Polytechnic University.

He was the hero of NetEase's listing on NASDAQ in the United States. He served as NetEase's group financial director in November 2001, and was officially appointed as a director and chief financial officer in April 2002.

"Yanbin, it's so late, what happened?"

Ding Sanshi didn't dare to slack off at all regarding Li Yanbin's call.

He knew that it must be very important for his partner to call at this time.

"Sanshi, turn on the computer right now!"

"Our NetEase Finance Channel has just published this news!"

"Penguin is going to acquire a social networking site called Xiaonei.com. This site is currently very popular among students, and the number of users is increasing dramatically every day. Many people in our company are also using it!"

“The feedback they gave me was very sticky and they logged in almost every day!”

"This is a website with great potential!"

"I just logged in and registered to check it out, and I was surprised..."

Li Yanbin finished this sentence almost in one breath. Ding Sanshi, who was originally very sleepy, seemed to be full of energy after hearing his partner finish this sentence.

penguin!

The opponent he currently finds most difficult.

Although NetEase's current market capitalization is as high as 2.5 billion US dollars, nearly 20 billion yuan, ranking third in China in terms of market capitalization, only Sina and Baidu are ahead of it!

Compared with Penguin's valuation of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is fully twice as high, but Ding Sanshi has always regarded Ma Huateng as his biggest concern.

The two of them are actually very good friends in private!

But the more friends we are, the more we will know how terrible the other party is.

As the saying goes, the people who know you best are often not your opponents, but your friends!

As early as 1993, the two people actually knew each other.

He and Ma Huateng were netizens. They met on BBS, a horse racing website founded by Ma Huateng. For this reason, the two still appeared in reality. At that time, Ding Sanshi, who had already founded NetEase, persuaded Ma Huateng to found Penguin. company.

He never expected that this move would create an enemy for him that he would never be able to surpass in the future.

The second position in NetEase Games has been held by Penguin for 10 years!

And now in 2004, although Penguin has not yet made a game, NetEase's "Westward Journey" has already made a lot of money from online games, but Ding Sanshi still feels that if NetEase has Penguin's 400 million QQ users, his gaming industry will will be more vigorous.

Therefore, he decided to also make a social software for instant messaging.

NetEase Paopao came into being in this way. The current number of users has been claimed to have reached 100 million, and the highest number of online users has exceeded 1 million!

This is definitely an extremely eye-catching number.

Ding Sanshi was still a little dissatisfied.

Because the most commonly used social network in China is QQ!

He is very clear that his own software NetEase Paopao is only better than the idle volume. As long as the computer is idle for one day, 120 text messages can be sent as gifts. This is why so many people use it, and the first choice for netizens to chat, 80 % Still QQ!

This made Ding Sanshi quite distressed.

So he has been thinking of a way to defeat QQ, and even developed voice dialogue.

This is definitely a very innovative highlight.

It shows that Chinese Internet companies achieved a major breakthrough in instant messaging voice as early as 2004. If it had not been severely obstructed by the three major state-owned telecom operators, WeChat would have been born seven years earlier in 2011, and this The opportunity should belong to Ding Sanshi’s NetEase!

But there are no ifs in this matter. Before NetEase launched voice communication, it was directly strangled by the three major companies.

If NetEase did this, who the hell would still use their mobile phone to make calls?

This is what the three major operators are afraid of, so they will not let NetEase update.

For this reason, Ding Sanshi argued hard for more than half a year, but now...it is completely out of the question.

But he has been holding a breath in his heart, a breath of bad breath that wants to reverse the situation.

"Sanshi, our opportunity has come!"

"I think the combination of social networking sites and social software is even more powerful than our voice communication!"

"Think about it, if our users can log in to this website directly and combine the two, do you think Penguin's chat advantage will still be that great?"

Li Yanbin said excitedly in Ding Sanshi's ear. Ding Sanshi had finished reading the news and now he had started to log in to the school network.

First look!

After just one glance, Ding Sanshi became a little excited.

This feeling was just like the feeling when his brain was hit instantly after seeing QQ.

This website is so sticky!

What he clings to is not friends or colleagues, but the most terrifying relationship for everyone - classmates!

Who among those who go to school does not have a classmate?

Friends are not necessarily classmates, but classmates must be friends!

And most of them are very good friends!

This results in interactivity reaching the extreme.

-connect!"

"As soon as possible tomorrow, let the Investment Department take the earliest flight to resist Jiangnan City!"

"I want to know the result at noon!"

Ding Sanshi said quickly to Li Yanbin, but Li Yanbin grinned: "Sanshi, early tomorrow morning, I think it will be very crowded. It is estimated that Sohu and Sina will be at this time, so I will simply go now! "

Ding dong!

It happened that at this time, Sanshi heard a voice reminding him to board the plane.

"You...you are already at the airport?"

"Bingguo, give me the reward!"

"This time, I will go there myself!"

Li Yanbin said with a serious face, and Ding Sanshi was a little convinced.

This is his CFO, the chief financial officer of NetEase.

He can keenly control the value of a product and then make the fastest response.

"Bon Voyage!"

"I wish you good luck. I look forward to waiting for (Wang Zhao) good news early tomorrow morning... By the way, it seems that Xu Xin has just returned to Jiangnan City. You can contact her!

"She is a local and should know some situations better than you!"

Ding Sanshi said with a smile, and Li Yanbin hummed: "Understood, I have already contacted her!"

"It's time to board the plane, hang up first!"

"Okay, 88 no!"

Ding Sanshi hung up the phone, and then breathed out a sigh of relief.

Having such an outstanding partner saved him a lot of effort.

"It's just that Penguin doesn't know...what kind of conditions are offered?"

This is something that Ding Sanshi has been worried about. His eyes were fixed on the school network, but there was a hint of determination on his face.

He must take down this website!

"Even if options are exchanged, it's worth taking the risk!"

"This is the only chance to defeat Penguin!"

Ding Sanshi murmured, thoughts flashing in his eyes behind the lenses.
