Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 229 Shanghai United Innovation Development Investment Company

When it came to the third point [sharing personal life], Liao Qinyu took Zhu Rongzhen and picked up the phone.

Under the guidance of her son, Zhu Rongzhen clicked on the [Moments] function newly added in WeChat 2.0.

"Mom, look there is a camera button here, click it." Liao Qinyu said, and Zhu Rongzhen clicked the button.

Choose to shoot directly.

The mother and son took two group photos on stage, with the big screen and the audience in the background in the background.

"After the photo is taken, you can type what you want to say on it and then send it."

"Ah?" Zhu Rongzhen was a little confused, "Send it? To whom?"

"Send it to your circle of friends. All your WeChat friends can see it. Of course, only me can see it now." Liao Qinyu said this, opened his own WeChat account, and took two pictures.

After taking the photo, he showed it to Zhu Rongzhen, "Look, it's like this."

【Today is also a beautiful day】

After Liao Qinyu added a sentence, he paired it with two photos and sent them to his circle of friends.

Zhu Rongzhen also entered the content on her mobile phone - [I am proud of my son]

Click Send.

“This is the third new feature of WeChat.”

After Liao Qinyu confirmed that both people had sent the message, he displayed their mobile phones on the big screen.

In the circle of friends that was originally empty, two new updates suddenly appeared.

"Many people may think this is nothing more than that, because most other social software has similar designs and functions."

"But the circle of friends that WeChat wants to build may be different from those."

Having said this, Liao Qinyu pointed at the two people's mobile phone screens and asked: "Look carefully, are there any differences on them?"

The audience in the audience felt strange for a moment, but soon, some people discovered the difference.

"There seems to be new feedback in Mr. Liao's circle of friends, but I can't seem to see it on his mother's phone?" Liu Huan touched his chin, his eyes flickered, and he was lost in thought.

Others in the audience also discovered this. When someone liked and commented on Liao Qinyu's circle of friends, Liao Qinyu's mobile phone could clearly see who had liked and commented on it.

But on Zhu Rongzhen's mobile phone, the circle of friends displayed by Liao Qinyu was empty, with no one liking or commenting.

And just when Liao Qinyu was about to continue, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

Liao Qinyu was startled. He looked down at his phone and found that his friend circle had been liked and commented by Mr. Xu.

[Mr. Xu]: Hello aunt, I will try my best to find a solution for your son’s girlfriend. In fact, there are still many outstanding girls in our company.

"Hahahahaha!"

After seeing this comment clearly, the audience burst into laughter.

The reporters in the front row immediately captured a key piece of information - Mr. Xu, the founder of Qunxing Company, was at the scene?!

Thinking of this, many people glanced towards the front seats.

Only Secretary Zhao and Yan Chijuan’s eyes fell on Xu Xing in the middle.

At this time, when the two people on the stage saw this comment sent by Xu Xing, Liao Qinyu was a little bit dumbfounded, while Zhu Rongzhen was a little flattered, and even covered her mouth in surprise.

"Here, is this your boss?" Zhu Rongzhen asked carefully.

"Yes, but let's not talk about this for now." Liao Qinyu stopped smiling, then looked at the audience and said, "Everyone has seen it, and Mr. Xu also gave a friendly demonstration."

“In WeChat version 2.0, Moments is a very private sharing space.”

"The content you post on this page can not only be seen by the WeChat friends you added, but also your interactions with others on this page. If the other WeChat friend is not a WeChat friend with the person who initiated the interaction,

, then they won’t be able to see any trace of each other.”

“To put it simply, because my mother and Mr. Xu are not WeChat friends, they can’t see the likes and comments that the other party has given me when they see my posts in their respective Moments.”

"This is further privacy."

"Only when Mr. Xu and my mother also become WeChat friends can they see the traces left by each other in my circle of friends."

"At this time, the three of us formed a circle, all related to each other, which is the so-called circle of friends."

Speaking of this, Liao Qinyu paused for a moment, and then continued, "Compared to the open dynamics of Weibo and the relatively open QQ space of QQ, WeChat's Moments pay more attention to the privacy of users.

"

"After all, some things are more suitable to be shared with people you know than to be shared with other strangers."

"Then the circle of friends will be a very good place."

After hearing this, Wang Dongcheng in the audience couldn't help but curl his lips: "After all, it's not just copying the function."

"If you say this now, when QQ develops QR code business cards and voice recognition functions, won't your face be slapped?" Liu Huan on the other side laughed.

"WeChat doesn't belong to Alibaba right now." Wang Dongcheng said sarcastically, "You are just protecting and helping to speak like this now. If people ignore you when the time comes, who will be more embarrassed?"

Liu Huan's expression changed and he snorted.

To be honest, at this point, he really couldn't tell what the outcome would be.

Although the conditions offered by Alibaba are very generous, as long as WeChat joins Alibaba, it will immediately receive the highest level of treatment.

But after actually looking at today’s press conference, one thing that is obvious is that WeChat is very clear about its subsequent development and planning, and its expansion of functions is also very purposeful.

Seeing now, the role of the four new functions of WeChat version 2.0 is already obvious.

QR code business cards and voice recognition functions can quickly help WeChat continue to expand the number of users and form a deeper moat.

The Moments and the follow-up [Linked Daily Entertainment] are obviously designed to increase user stickiness.

Such a combination of punches, coupled with the current user base of WeChat itself...

If Liu Huan originally only thought that WeChat could compete, he was actually not too optimistic about it. His highest expectation was to take a piece of meat from QQ's mouth.

But if this trend continues and WeChat itself does not have any problems, Liu Huan is really not sure about the future situation between WeChat and QQ.

"Now that we've finished talking about the circle of friends, let's move on to the next stage." After Liao Qinyu ended this section, he entered the fourth stage.

——[Linked Daily Entertainment]

"In terms of daily life and entertainment, we mainly have two directions."

Liao Qinyu simply said, "The first direction is the game center that everyone is familiar with."

"So far, except for "Henghua Campus" provided by Mihuyou Studio, the rest of the games are produced by Tianshu Games, a subsidiary of our group."

"And the main creative ideas come from our Mr. Xu himself, and he is also the chief planner of the game."

"However, a person's ability is always limited, so after a series of discussions, we decided to make two new decisions in the game center."

At this point, Liao Qinyu paused for a moment, and then continued: "The first point is that WeChat's game center will be open to the outside world."

“In the future, any game that can pass the joint review of Tianshu Games and WeChat can apply to be put on WeChat’s game center.”

"The second point is that WeChat Game Center and Tianshu Games will launch start-up team assistance programs every year in the future."

"Any game studio that encounters financial and technical problems can receive certain financial and technical support as long as the game creativity and planning plan can meet the indicators of the assistance plan."

"And after the game production is completed, you will be qualified to log in to the WeChat Game Center."

When he heard this, Liu Huan in the audience raised his eyebrows, but he didn't feel too much. After all, Alibaba is not strong in games.

Even their boss Ma once said that Alibaba does not make games.

But Wang Dongcheng on the other side frowned tightly, deeply feeling the pressure from WeChat.

Social, games.

These two pieces of content can be said to be the core industry of Tencent.

Social networking provides traffic, and games harvest cash flow. The two form a perfect closed loop.

But now, WeChat is challenging Tencent’s system.

"We Qunxing started from a small studio." Liao Qinyu continued on the stage, "Although our boss Xu has a smooth journey, he knows very well that domestic game studios are not having a good time."

"Many gamers have an entrepreneurial spirit and have all kinds of rich and interesting content and creativity, but they are buried in the contradiction between reality and the structural framework of the domestic game industry."

"So we also hold a sincere heart and sincerely hope that the domestic game industry will get better and better in the future, so that high-quality games can survive."

"On this basis, the initial assistance plan is just the beginning. As long as the results are good, we will launch more appropriate plans in the future to help teams with ideas and innovations."

After saying this, Liao Qinyu gave everyone some time to digest the above information.

Then he continued to introduce: "As for the second aspect, everyone should have noticed it before."

As he spoke, he directed Zhu Rongzhen to click on the [My] page. The lower half of the area belonged to the [Service] page.

Two of the icons stand out.

They are “Didi Taxi” and “MeiMe Takeaway”.

"Our lives include not only entertainment and games, but also the most basic necessities of life, food, housing, and transportation that are closest to our daily lives." Liao Qinyu said while reminding Zhu Rongzhen to try ordering takeout from EatMe. "WeChat, as a social diversion portal,

If it only carries the traffic outlet of the game center, it would be a bit wasteful."

"Therefore, we will also provide access points for various software to complete the introduction and outflow of traffic, realize the real traffic value, and at the same time, bring a real new life in the mobile Internet era to our users."

"Everyone can see now that my mother can directly find a takeout platform here, click on it, and start ordering takeout."

“Don’t be like the taxi-hailing apps above.”

"If any company is interested in this business, you can contact us at any time."

“WeChat’s service page is still very empty and can accommodate many other software.”

"For example, if Alibaba's Taobao has this need, we would be happy to connect a Taobao entrance to it."

"Many people will think that this matter seems a bit unnecessary." Liao Qinyu said, pointing to his mother Zhu Rongzhen, "But you have to know that users like my mother will never be in the minority in the future."

"The huge number of complicated apps will only force them to use a few of the most familiar software. Even if the other software is downloaded and occupies the memory of their mobile phones, it will not occupy their usage habits."

"Under such circumstances, instead of racking our brains to make people download the APP, it is better to change the idea and share the same traffic pool with WeChat, and also bring a more convenient interface collection to users."

Secretary Zhao listened silently to what Liao Qinyu said on the stage, and then turned to look at Xu Xing: "I thought I already thought highly of you, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xu's ambitions were even higher than this."

"You're grateful." Xu Xing responded modestly, "Of course the primary purpose of what I do is for the development of the company, but I also pay attention to the benefits and convenience it brings to society."

"In the old PC era, if people wanted to search for something, they couldn't avoid the browser. They could even quickly find the website they needed by just using the browser's navigation page."

"Now that we have entered the mobile Internet era, the form will naturally change."

"What WeChat is doing now is nothing more than borrowing the traffic brought by instant messaging and social networking to become a navigation page in the mobile era."

Secretary Zhao laughed twice: "When something comes out of your mouth, it seems to be a matter of course and easy."

"That is only possible through the efforts of countless employees of the company and the support of users. It is not as easy as I say."

"Really?" Secretary Zhao tapped his fingers on the armrest and said calmly, "I hope your attitude and actions will be the same modest in front of me, as in the face of society and users."

"certainly."

…

After introducing the new functions in the four directions, the press conference came to an end.

But after reaching this step, the reporters in the audience had already sorted out the questions they wanted to ask, but they didn't know that there was another bombshell waiting for them.

"The updated content of WeChat 2.0 has been introduced here." After Liao Qinyu sent Zhu Rongzhen off the stage, he looked at the audience with a smile, "At midnight on February 1st tonight, WeChat version 2.0 will be launched

Officially launched, please look forward to it.”

"However, there is one last thing to do before our press conference is over."

"Well, let's invite Mr. Liu Wenwu from Shanghai United Innovation Development Investment Company to the stage!"

After hearing this, Liu Wenwu, who was sitting between Wang Dongcheng and Liu Huan, straightened his suit, slowly got up from his seat and walked towards the stage.

Wang Dongcheng and Liu Huan, who were next to them, looked at each other after hearing the name of Lianchuang Development Investment Company. Their expressions suddenly changed, and they both had an extremely bad premonition in their hearts.
