My Age of Investment

July 1st.

Zhang Dalong invited various media and Internet colleagues to hold a massive WeChat mobile product launch conference in Beijing, officially showing his sword to Penguin.

In the past six months, the WeChat PC version has achieved good results with tens of millions of registered users thanks to the joint help and resource recommendations of domestic holding groups and Vision Internet companies.

Regardless of whether these users are highly active or not, or they are using QQ and WeChat, the two major instant messaging softwares at the same time, and have no choice but to fully embrace WeChat. However, WeChat has initially opened up the situation, which is already the case. An indisputable fact in the industry.

Therefore, after receiving the "hero post" sent by WeChat, many Internet company founders chose to come over to support. They all wanted to see with their own eyes whether the overseas holdings that have been aggressive this year have the ability to overthrow Penguin.

"Ari Jackma!"

"Jingxi Liu Ruoxi!"

"Three sixty weeks in red!"

"Dami Lei-kun!"

“Meituan Huangxin!”

"Ganji.com Yang Haoyong!"

"Car Home Li Xiang!"

…

The media people present stretched their necks one by one and gave a big roll call to the Internet tycoons and tycoons in the first row.

If you don’t count, you won’t know, but if you count, you will be shocked. Half of the country’s Internet networks are here.

A small product launch event actually attracted so many celebrity entrepreneurs from all over the country to come to the stage.

The most important thing is that Xia Jingxing was not present at today's press conference.

Mr. Xia’s face is indeed great!

While some media people were amazed by Xia Jingxing's "power", there were also some attentive media people who noticed a small detail and quickly started a discussion with their colleagues.

"Why haven't you seen Charles? It is said that he and Mr. Xia are close friends and they are both romantic figures."

"You are old enough. Charles had a falling out with Xia Jingxing last year. Sohu Video is now very greedy for Tudou Video's industry status."

"Oh, when you said that, I remembered that last year Fox Factory, Pig Factory and Lang Factory together sold the Weibo business to Penguin, which is equivalent to Penguin's allies."

"Then the three companies have suffered huge losses. I heard that Penguin Weibo is in trouble and is laying off employees. And the most terrible thing is that HR will call you to the office and force you to resign voluntarily. In this way, they It saves a lot of compensation.”

"Holy shit, is Penguin so awesome? That's a big factory!"

"What a big company? It's long gone. Ponima has suffered repeated defeats in the past few years. Penguin's little fortune will be wiped out by him sooner or later. I think Overseas Holdings may want to take what's left of Penguin this time." Even the territory was taken away."

"That's not true. How many people across the country use QQ?"

…

A group of reporters were chattering there about the future of WeChat and Penguin. The guests sitting in the front row were also busy chatting in twos and threes.

Jack Maxun glanced at Xiao Xizi, who was sitting across from him, and with a thought in his heart, he said to Huang Xin beside him: "Mr. Huang, can we change seats?"

Huang Xin didn't hate Lao Ma to the core at this moment. He still respected Lao Ma, the big brother in the e-commerce field, and readily agreed to change positions.

After switching to Liu Ruoxi's side, Jack Ma started chatting with him.

"Old Liu, we haven't seen each other for a while, right? How are you doing lately? I heard that your development is rapid."

Liu Ruoxi didn't have much favorable impression of Jack Ma, his biggest enemy, but he didn't want to hit the smiling man. Besides, it was Mr. Xia's place today, so he still wanted to give Mr. Xia some slack, so he talked to Jack in a lukewarm manner. Horse dialogue.

"I heard that you are still building your own logistics?"

Liu Ruoxi didn't answer.

Jack Ma continued with a smile on his face: "To be honest, I still admire your courage and courage. Ahri does not have the courage to do such a thing. Asset-heavy operations are not an easy task."

Liu Ruoxi didn't understand why Jack Ma was telling him this? Did you come here specifically to ridicule yourself?

He held back his anger and said in a stiff tone: "Ali has Ahri's way, and Jingxi has Jingxi's way?"

What way?

Specifically catching Mr. Xia’s wool?

Jack Ma sneered in his heart. He knew very well what Liu Ruoxi was planning. He was trying to trick Xia Jingxing into investing money to help Jingxi build its own logistics.

He can guarantee that if it weren't for Xia Jingxing's continuous capital injection in the past few years, Jingxi would have died eight hundred times at the rate it was spending money.

He didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Liu Ruoxi poured into Xia Jingxing, and why he supported Jingxi as if he were his own son!

You know, Ahri is... the one that Vision Capital and Facebook should focus on supporting!

Jack Ma now believes that Xia Jingxing has no ambitions in the e-commerce industry. He used to worry that Haihai Holdings might end up personally, but now he has dispelled such concerns.

If nothing else, let’s focus on today’s press conference. It’s clear that we want to fight Penguin to the death!

If he kills Penguin again, he will be well-deserved as the social king of the East and the West.

Under this circumstance, Overseas Holdings should have no more ideas about the e-commerce industry.

As for the other party that has been investing heavily in and cultivating Jingxi, in Jack Ma’s opinion, they probably want to eat up the leftovers of this track.

However, Jingxi's recent development has been too fast, and with Xia Jingxing's support, there is no shortage of money at all, which makes Jack Ma feel a little uncomfortable.

Jack Ma can still tolerate Jingxi's Dangdang level, but if he wants to continue to expand the scale, Ahri is not easy to mess with.

He was chatting with Liu Ruoxi today, not to quarrel, but to find out the other person's background.

Liu Ruoxi's exposed hostility made him feel very unhappy.

But no matter how unhappy I feel, I still have to continue talking today.

"Old Liu, we are all visionary companies. In the words of the media, we are all Mr. Xia's "disciples."

Liu Ruoxi turned his head and looked at Jack Ma with wide eyes, not believing that the word "disciple" would come from Jack Ma's mouth.

He knew very well how proud Jackma was in his heart. In other words, he refused to accept anyone.

Unexpectedly, he started to flatter Mr. Xia now. This was not like the Jack Ma he was familiar with.

"Don't look at me like that. I personally admire Mr. Xia very much.

It’s okay not to admire it. As of today, Facebook’s stock price has exceeded the $50 mark, and its market value is as high as $153 billion.

The green shoe options were successfully sold. If issuance costs are not included, Facebook raised a total of US$18.4 billion in this IPO.

Such a large-scale IPO is rare in the United States, let alone in China. "

Speaking of this, Jack Ma's face was filled with envy. When could Ahri be so proud and proud?

Different from his previous life, in this life he is connected to Facebook. If he can use the power of Facebook, he is confident to expand his business overseas, and it will not be a small business.

If it can grab some market share from Amazon and eBay, Ali's overall road to listing will undoubtedly become more brilliant.

However, he contacted Kristina, who was not very enthusiastic about the matter and asked him to contact Xia Jingxing.

Didn't the two of them break up?

Why does Kristina still obey Xia Jingxing’s advice so much?

Jack Ma was a little confused and guessed that the two people must still have an affair.

Therefore, he wanted to try Liu Ruoxi's tone and see which one he liked more, Ah Li or Jing Xi, or Xia Jingxing.

"Going to sea? This matter is too far away for us, we dare not even think about it."

After all, Liu Ruoxi was an honest person, and he was easily tricked by Jack Ma - Xia Jingxing seemed to have no intention of supporting Jingxi to go overseas.

Jack Ma was more suspicious, and looked at Liu Ruoxi carefully a few more times, and finally confirmed that it didn't look like he was hiding anything.

Thinking of this, Jack Ma felt relieved. It seemed that Mr. Xia still loved Ahri more. Facebook's market value of US$150 billion still contributed 11% of Ahri's equity.

Since Mr. Xia still cares about Ali, Fuxing Cloud will be used for a while until Ali Cloud is launched.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Xia for spending a huge amount of money to find a successful cloud computing path for Ahri, and at the same time, he also solved Ahri's urgent need.

However, Mr. Xia is Mr. Xia, and Liu Ruoxi is Liu Ruoxi.

He cannot give up on weakening and attacking potential competitors like Jingxi.

Thinking of this, Jack Ma decided to fool Liu Ruoxi a few more words, so he said: "If you build your own logistics, personnel management and costs are a big trouble. I heard that you are still buying five insurances and one housing fund for front-line delivery and express employees. , the cost is too high.

I would say that you should concentrate all your efforts on increasing the transaction volume of the platform. "

here we go again!

Liu Ruoxi glanced at Jack Ma and felt a little unhappy. Why do you always persuade him to give up building his own logistics?

"Mr. Xia said, let me do it boldly and confidently, and he will fully support me."

Jack Ma was speechless by Liu Ruoxi's words. Yes, there was a big benefactor providing financial support, and he, Liu Ruoxi, was worried.

Will it really be done by Liu Ruoxi in the future? Jack Ma suddenly felt worried.

He is indeed not optimistic about self-built logistics, which requires heavy investment and is not very efficient, but he can't help it. Mr. Xia has money. If he is willing to lose money for ten or eight years, maybe the logistics business will be profitable. Logistics services can also be regarded as a major selling point to add luster to Jingxi’s brand services.

Just when Jack Ma was lowering his head in thought, he didn't know that a pair of hostile eyes had already stared at him.

"Ma Dazui has been very high-profile recently, taking his Yunfeng Fund to attack everywhere."

In the summer, Zhou Hongyi, who was wearing a red jersey again, glanced coldly at Jack Ma not far away, and said to her good friend Lei Jun beside her.

Lei Jun glanced at Jack Ma and said with a smile: "It's been so many years, but I still haven't forgotten the grudge between you.

We are all visionary companies, so we still need to give each other some face. "

"Fu's face, how has Jack Ma ever given me face?"

Lei Jun pinched his eyebrows. Zhou Hongyi's fiery temper has not calmed down even after so many years.

But it’s normal. If it’s changed, is it still called the Red Cannon?

"Some time ago, you posted more than 40 Weibo posts criticizing Penguin, and you also named him and said that Ponima deliberately targeted 360. This is somewhat excessive."

"What? Did I pass?"

Zhou Hongyi was so angry that her lungs exploded. Fortunately, it was Lei Jun who said this, otherwise he would have directly bombarded her.

"I declare that it is not me who is provoking trouble, it is him, Bonima, who takes the initiative to provoke me.

A few months ago, their QQ doctor plagiarized us and was repulsed. I didn’t bother them anymore. They just treated me as a weak person and could be bullied.

Last month, they quietly upgraded QQ Doctor to version 4.0 and renamed it QQ Computer Manager. They also integrated the management of QQ Doctor and QQ software into one, adding cloud Trojan killing, plug-in cleaning and other functions, covering 36 All the mainstream functions of Zero Security Guard and the user experience are very similar to our products.

You comment, isn't this an addiction to bullying? "

Zhou Hongyi glanced at the WeChat logo displayed on the big screen on the stage, and smiled, "This time Ponima has encountered a tough situation. Now I just want WeChat to quickly sweep Penguin, the source of all evils on the Chinese Internet, into the trash heap of history." inside."

Lei Jun also glanced at the WeChat logo on the stage and said, "I'm afraid this battle won't be easy to win!"

“You don’t like WeChat?”

Zhou Hongyi sneered: "If my prediction is good, domestic smartphones such as Fuxing FX3, Honor Phone, and Meizu will soon come out of the factory with WeChat applications. How can Penguin compete with Mr. Xia?"

"This battle is not that simple."

Lei Jun shook his head. He was not as optimistic as Zhou Hongyi. QQ is not an ordinary application software. It is the youth of an entire generation!

"How is the development of your rice phone? It's a mule or a horse. Get out and run around quickly. If it's too late, you won't even be able to drink soup."

Lei Jun smiled and said, "It is under development and will take some time.

Without further ado, let’s talk about WeChat. What do you think its mobile version will look like? "

Lei Jun is quite interested in this matter, but he does not want to follow the trend and launch a Mi Chat, but is simply interested and looking forward to this "Micro Q" war.

Because of the advent of Fuxing Mobile, the current situation of domestic smartphones is urgent and the development speed is far faster than in previous generations. It is impossible for Lei Jun to distract himself from MiLiao anymore. The highly competitive mobile phone business alone is enough to give him a headache.

"How do I know what the mobile version of WeChat looks like? Just watch Zhang Dalong's performance."

As soon as Zhou Hongyi finished speaking, the lights in the audience went out.

Today's protagonist, Zhang Dalong, walked onto the stage wearing a white T-shirt with the WeChat logo printed on the chest.

Looking at the thousands of guests present in the audience and the dark crowd of heads, Zhang Dalong felt a little excited and a little nervous at the same time. He was sweating from holding a golden Renaissance FX3 in his hand.

"Good morning everyone, I am Zhang Dalong, a WeChat developer."

Zhang Dalong greeted the guests present in a serious manner. When he heard the warm applause from the audience, he felt much more relaxed.

In Mr. Xia's words, today he is here to announce the birth of a king-level application and to challenge Penguin, but he must not be timid.

After calming down, Zhang Dalong recited a few opening remarks that he knew by heart, then quickly went to the operation demonstration table nearby and connected the screen projection cable to his mobile phone.

The first is to log in to the WeChat App. Users in the audience can clearly see several options appearing on the large projection screen on the stage. They can choose to log in with their mobile phone number, or they can choose accounts for products owned by Hainan Holdings such as domestic mailboxes and Weibo. Log in.

Zhang Dalong chose his mobile phone number to log in, and then entered an App login interface. A background image of "a little man standing next to the earth" appeared.

Then, after logging in successfully, the chat interface appeared.

"Du~"

Suddenly a red dot popped up, and then another red dot popped up, and soon it was refreshed, and all unread messages were pinned to the top.

Zhang Dalong clicked on the first message that was pinned to the top. The person who sent the message was a cartoon pig wearing a Superman uniform. He seemed to be flying in the sky. His nickname was also very interesting, called "Wind and Wave Pig".

Just after Zhang Dalong clicked to enter the chat interface with Fengkoulangzhu, people in the audience noticed that the entire chat interface was very similar to the PC version of the chat interface, or exactly the same. The only difference was that there was no text and three lines instead. Weird message.

What a strange method?

A weird symbol of the WiFi sign rotated 90 degrees clockwise, followed by the words 7'', 12'', 15'' and so on.

The audience in the audience all stared at the big screen, curious about what message this was?

Soon, Zhang Dalong revealed the answer to the mystery.

He pressed his fingers gently, and then the WiFi mutation symbol began to undulate like waves, and a deep male voice appeared in everyone's ears through the speakers distributed around the venue.

"Lao Zhang, has your press conference started yet? Have all the guests arrived?"

"As soon as I finish the press conference here, I will rush back immediately. Netizens and Internet practitioners in Southeast Asia are very enthusiastic. As soon as they heard that I was going to hold a product launch conference in Singapore, many people came from Indonesia and Malaysia. "

"How about we compete? Let's see who has more than one million mobile users first, WeChat or WeChat?

No, there are few people in Singapore, so you have to give me some advice, let me give you 90...100...90,000.

If Singapore breaks through 10,000 users first, I will win.

If you exceed one million users in China first, you will win.

Whoever loses, go run this year’s marathon.

Well, let's just run a half marathon. You're not too young anymore, so I can't make things too difficult for you. "
