Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

People always suffer when faced with dilemmas.

A situation where you want it all often means there are sacrifices and compromises behind it.

Once this happens, people tend to avoid it and let themselves forget it for a short time to avoid inner pain.

In fact, if possible, Yan Chijuan would like to continue studying with Pei Qinglan instead of going back to school.

Obviously the person I least want to see right now is here, but I still came back.

We met once when school started, and Xu Xing even helped her carry her suitcase. In the end, she didn't even want to wash the water glass.

Obviously there is no need to come to watch his symposium live.

But when her roommate asked whether she wanted to come, she still followed her, comforting herself in her heart that it was her roommate who said she wanted to come, and if she didn't come, she would look out of place.

So what are your true thoughts deep inside?

Yan Chijiu turned to look at Sister Nian Nian, and then looked at Xu Xing, who was sitting on the sofa chair on the stage with a relaxed posture.

He has always been so confident, even if he is now the focus of everyone, he can still face everyone's gaze calmly.

Yan Chijiu envied such an ability and was easily attracted to such a person. Once she was attracted to him and slowly felt various advantages from him, she could not help but fall in love with him.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that I was deeply involved.

But the more this happens, the more painful it becomes after learning the truth.

Yan Chijuan himself didn't know how he survived the month after learning the truth.

It's just that in the past two or three months, she traveled abroad with Pei Qinglan. After her mood calmed down, her mood also stabilized and she thought of many other things.

It's about life, ideals, or the future direction...as well as feelings and choices.

"Sometimes you don't have to think too much."

Xu Niannian's voice came from my ears.

The next second, Yan Chijuan felt his right hand being gently held by Sister Niannian.

"Actually, I admire you very much." Xu Nian said softly without letting others hear, "I also thought about leaving at first. As long as I escape from here, maybe I can let go."

"But I didn't do it, but you did it."

"You are much better than me."

Yan Chiju wanted to withdraw her hand, but listening to Sister Niannian's words, her originally tense arms became relaxed. Instead, she turned them around in Xu Niannian's hand and gently turned them around.

hold.

"Sister Nian Nian, stop talking."

Xu Niannian said no more and returned his gaze to the stage.

At this time, Mei Hong had received a question from the second lucky viewer in the live broadcast room.

He glanced at the content of the question, then looked at Xu Xing and said: "This audience member said, Mr. Xu, can WeChat become the number one social software in the country in the future and completely replace QQ?"

"This question is very dangerous." Mei Hong smiled, "Has Mr. Xu thought about how to answer it?"

"As long as they are engaged in social software, there is no one who would not think about replacing QQ or surpassing QQ." Xu Xing laughed and said, "Of course I will also have such a vision."

“But vision is vision, and WeChat’s goal is not to surpass or replace anyone.”

"If this is the goal, then the original intention of making the product will change."

"The goal of WeChat is very simple, which is to meet people's needs for more convenience and intelligence in their daily lives in the mobile Internet era."

“As long as we continue to work hard with this goal in mind, WeChat will always have the soil for its growth.”

"As for whether WeChat can replace QQ in the future, it's up to everyone to decide." Xu Xing paused, then smiled, "But this is not easy, QQ can also be regarded as my childhood memory, really want to say

It’s not easy to let go either.”

“So I don’t force employees in the company to only use WeChat.”

"I'm quite curious, will Tencent employees use our WeChat? It would be great if Brother Ma could give me an answer."

There is a saying that Xu Xing is really good at fighting fire with hidden swords in his smile.

Mei Hong also laughed: "It doesn't make much difference to me. I use both QQ and WeChat."

"But my wife didn't use computers very much before, but your WeChat is very easy to use."

"And the voice function is quite good. My elders are all in their 70s and 80s and have not kept up with the development of the times. It is difficult to use a single-button mobile phone."

"It was hard to learn how to use the old phone, but smartphones are coming again. WeChat has really taken this into consideration."

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded, "This is also what I call a new opportunity from the mobile Internet era."

"As time goes by, the convenience brought by the Internet will benefit more and more people."

"In the past, it might have been just accessing the Internet, but in the future, all kinds of trivial matters in life may become more convenient because of Internet connectivity."

“And business opportunities are hidden in these conveniences.”

"Like the three Internet giants that everyone is familiar with, BAT, Alibaba's Taobao allows everyone to purchase various products at home at any time and have them delivered to your door."

"Tencent's QQ allows people thousands of miles apart to communicate directly without any barriers. The search function of certain degree also frees everyone from the complicated and repetitive work of finding documents in the past."

"Now various products under Qunxing have similar goals, including food delivery, taxi hailing, video, and live streaming. They are all committed to making the Internet convenient for ordinary people's lives."

"If the three BAT companies mentioned above cannot keep up with the trend of the times and meet the needs of more people, or if high-quality alternatives appear in the ecological niche they occupy, they will also have their own crises.

.”

[Stop talking, Mr. Xu will start talking about how to beat BAT]

[It’s hard to imagine that this guy is only twenty years old...]

[In a few decades, I will be able to kill Lao Ma and his group, but Mr. Xu doesn’t give this hope at all]

[Mr. Xu is here to offer business opportunities, can’t you just listen carefully?]

[Laughing, business opportunities are also prepared for those who have capital. No matter how good you are, if people just throw money into the market, what can you do? 】

【How are those stars made? 】

[Didn’t you watch WeChat’s press conference before? If the Shanghai Stock Exchange had not entered the market, Alibaba and Tencent might have won WeChat]

[Although WeChat sounds nice now, most people around me still use QQ. WeChat is used by the elders in the family, and they are used only when they have no choice. Wait until the young people who use QQ grow up and use WeChat.

When the older generation passes away, WeChat will still have to be eliminated]

[Don’t be ridiculous, by then, WeChat will probably become the standard for users across the country, and it will even eliminate a chicken]

"Then we will discuss this issue here. I believe everyone has learned something." Mei Hong said with a smile, "If I hadn't had to do experiments, I would have been persuaded by Mr. Xu to expand the territory."

"What Academician Mei is doing now is the pillar of the country." Xu Xing said modestly, "The opportunities of the Internet rely on the driving force brought by technological changes at the bottom. Otherwise, everything will be a castle in the air."

"Fantasy that cannot be realized is just a bubble and has no practical significance."

"And scientific researchers who turn fantasy into reality are the foundation of the development of the times."

"I like to hear this." Mei Hong laughed and felt very comfortable after hearing it. Then he continued to look at the list on the phone and said, "Then the last questioner from the audience will be, um...this

Is this classmate who is addicted to studying and unable to extricate himself present here?"

A boy suddenly stood up from the front seat.

The staff member on the side handed over the microphone.

"Hello." Academician Mei Hong looked at this somewhat slovenly boy, "First of all, would you like to introduce yourself?"

"Hello, Academician Mei, hello, Mr. Xu." The boy nodded into the microphone and said, "I am a second-year graduate student in electronic information. I will graduate next year."

"Aren't you considering studying for a Ph.D.?" Mei Hong asked.

"I should be able to get a job directly," the boy said. "I got an interview opportunity from my senior, who was recommended by Tenxin. I am also in contact with other companies, and now I am also very interested in Qunxing."

"Oh?" Mei Hong raised his eyebrows, "Then do you want to ask about Qunxing's recruitment conditions and treatment?"

"No, no." The boy shook his head repeatedly, "I just want to understand this myself, so I won't waste this question."

"What I want to ask is another question."

"Then you ask." Mei Hong said, looked at Xu Xing, and turned the topic back to Xu Xing.

So the boy asked: "I have been interviewing some companies recently, so I will deliberately collect some information about related companies."

"Then I discovered something very strange. Mr. Xu, your Qunxing Group and the parent company's shares still seem to be fully controlled by you?"

"There may also be a part used as employee incentives or distribution to key members, but at least two-thirds of it is still held by you yourself."

"In addition, in core industries such as WeChat and Tianshu Games, the former only has 10% of the shares held by local official investment in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, while the latter has healthy cash flow and will feed back the group's other funding gaps."

"And website platforms such as Eat Me Takeaway, Didi Taxi, and Douyu Live Broadcast have received a lot of external financing."

"As far as I know, the ultimate goal of most Internet companies is to go public."

"So I'm curious, will Mr. Xu choose to lead Qunxing to go public in the future?"

After Xu Xing listened to what the boy said, he smiled slightly. He didn't expect anyone to ask such a question.

He picked up the phone, thought about it for a while and said: "Whether it will be listed in the future or not is not something I can decide now."

"First of all, we have to understand one issue, which is why most Internet companies pursue listing."

"There are probably two main reasons."

"First point, listing is a very useful financing method for many companies, which can help companies relieve financial pressure and maintain rapid expansion growth."

"The second point is that most Internet companies need a lot of money to burn money to capture the market in the early stage, and most founders cannot afford this money themselves."

"At this time, the founders can only use the company's shares to raise funds, exchange equity for funds, and achieve rapid growth of the company."

"For investors, if they want to get high returns, they naturally have to run for the company to go public. Once the company is successfully listed and the stock price is good, it is time for investors to reap the rewards."

"Now back to the question you asked." Xu Xing paused and said, "If Qunxing is short of funds in the future and cannot obtain sufficient funding sources through other channels and chooses external financing, it may be possible to go public."

"You also said it was possible, right?" The boy was afraid that the question would be answered, so he quickly asked curiously, "Actually, Qunxing's internal structure is quite reasonable now, and financing should not be needed in the future."

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Xu Xing said with a smile, "It's just that if it is not necessary, going public is definitely not Qunxing's purpose. Going public for the sake of going public is a bit putting the cart before the horse, but some of our companies will definitely have follow-up plans.

Corresponding listing plan."

In fact, Xu Xing did not forcefully spend money on areas such as food delivery, taxi hailing and live broadcasting, because he knew very well that no matter how much money he made from his own mobile games, it would be impossible to maintain the simultaneous advancement of so many industries.

Therefore, his bottom line is very simple, ensuring absolute control of Tianshu Games and WeChat. The former is used to maintain corporate cash flow, and the latter is the core of the group.

Once the industries that exist around WeChat are branded with WeChat and become dependent, they will no longer be able to work independently from Qunxing Group.

This is true for EatMe takeaway, as well as Didi Taxi, Douyu Live and Bizhan.

Just a full account interoperability and service center traffic tilt are something they can't refuse.

Once the ecosystem is formed, as long as WeChat is the core point, other industries that require a lot of money can be released for financing and listing.

After all, it is impossible to support such a huge consumption of funds just by relying on the income from mobile games.

For example, those video websites of later generations burned money all the way to raise funds to go public. In the first few waves of soaring stock prices, those investors had already recovered their principal, and the rest were profits.

As for the company's own financial statements showing losses, that's just the company losing money, and the pockets of the individuals who should make money later have already made a lot of money.

Not to mention that sometimes the losses on the financial statements are simply for the market to see. Whether or not the company loses money depends purely on what signals the company needs to let the market feel, so as to indirectly control the stock price trend.

There are many ways to do this, and the specific operations are more complicated.

Qunxing's current shareholding structure is completely out of the ordinary among Internet companies, and it is a piece of Tang Monk meat that everyone wants to take a bite of.

It's just that Xu Xing didn't give him this chance.

"Then that's the end of the question." Mei Hong ended the topic and said with a smile, "Although I don't know much about whether it is listed or not, Qunxing is not a group controlled by foreign capital. This alone makes me like it enough.

Already."

"It's not necessary to say that." Xu Xing coughed, "I hope everyone pays more attention to the quality and shortcomings of the product itself, rather than blindly liking it."

"You are just too sober." Mei Hong laughed and shook his head, "I have been with you for a long time, and I always feel that your temperament is not like that of a twenty-year-old young man."

Xu Xing smiled and just said: "Then please ask Academician Mei a question for the last audience member in the live broadcast room."

"Well." After Mei Hong finished joking, he looked down at his phone and asked the last viewer in the live broadcast room to ask a question, "Let me see, the last question from this viewer is..."

"he asks--"

"Excuse me, Mr. Xu. Mr. Ma of Alibaba said before that Qunxing will not do e-commerce, but I think the current structure of Qunxing, with a traffic pool like WeChat, we can give e-commerce a try."

"So do Qunxing have plans to develop into e-commerce in the future?"
