Chapter 299

"Mr. Ma, I think it's obvious that someone is behind the scenes to induce public opinion, because the focus of this news outbreak covers almost all kinds of media, such as Netease, Sina and so on, in addition to the media of our Tencent department." Liu Shengyi, who is in charge of Tencent Online media, spoke first.

Liu Zhiping, the second leader sitting next to President Ma, nodded and agreed: "I agree with Shengyi. If no one induces, it is impossible to break out such a big public opinion, and most news reports are negative for our company. I doubt, or I'm sure, it should be the ghost of Huizhong!"

Several senior executives expressed their views, but without exception, everyone agreed with the sudden outbreak of public opinion, pointing at Tencent, which is likely to be the ghost of Huizhong.

President Ma was silent for a moment and said, "don't pay attention to external public opinion for the time being. How is the progress of the development of the new version of QQ?"

"Soon, a comprehensive upgrade can be carried out by the end of this month at the earliest and the beginning of next month at the latest!" Tang Daosheng, a senior Tencent official directly responsible for Tencent's social business such as QQ and social platform, answered.

Liu Zhiping listened to him and looked at him silently. He thought of a high-level meeting before Tencent.

That meeting was the second meeting on dealing with Huizhong wechat held by Tencent. If the previous meeting was held in a hurry and the senior executives attending the meeting simply recognized the threat of wechat, the preparation for this second meeting was quite sufficient. Every senior executive attending the meeting used wechat and understood its difference.

Whether it is the address book function or the voice function, all the senior executives of Tencent feel a threat. The people who can think of this way of social interaction are simply too talented. They don't know how wechat came up with it. President Ma, who was born in the product, is the most impressed by the uniqueness of this product and therefore attaches the most importance to it.

At the meeting, the senior executives at the meeting discussed two solutions to compete with wechat. First, they "learn" the function of wechat on QQ and add the functions such as address book and voice chat to the new version of QQ. This scheme is approved by the most people and supported by Tang Daosheng, the current person in charge of QQ.

The second scheme is to redevelop a chat software specifically for the mobile terminal. All businesses start from scratch. This scheme has few people to support, but Liu Zhiping, the second leader of Tencent, supports this scheme most.

In Liu Zhiping's opinion, directly "learning" the function of wechat on QQ can not change the current situation that QQ mainly focuses on the field of computer social software. Moreover, after more than ten years of development, the business system of QQ has become very large and bloated, whether in terms of functional complexity, user friendliness, or just the size of simple software package, There was no way to compare with wechat, so Liu Zhiping felt that it was necessary to build a new software to compete with wechat.

However, Tang Daosheng and others who support the direct update on QQ don't think so. First of all, let alone that QQ is the most important core of Tencent. The newly developed software has a great overlap with QQ in function, which threatens QQ's position as the absolute core. Needless to say, it will also waste many unnecessary resources.

At present, mobile QQ has more than 20 million monthly active users, and potential users include hundreds of millions of registered computer users of Tencent. If you make a software from scratch, will users accumulate from scratch or import it with QQ resources?

If it is the latter, why do you need to make a new one? If it is the former, why do you think that the new software can surpass wechat, which has millions of users in China?

Although Liu Zhiping doesn't agree with the ideas of Tang Daosheng and others, he doesn't argue too much, because from the eyes of other senior executives, he seems to see that many people think he wants to divide power. If Tencent makes a new chat software, will QQ, the eldest son of his own son, and Tang Daosheng, the person in charge of QQ, decline?

The final decision is still in the hands of the number one President Ma. His attitude determines the way Tencent and Huizhong compete in the field of mobile social networking. Is it to protect the authority of their own son or have a second child?

Finally, Ma zongzhan came to the side supporting QQ update. The decision of Ma Zong and Tencent can be said to be one of the biggest differences between Tencent and its previous life.

In the previous life, Ma and Tencent rose in MI chat. After having tens of millions of users, Ma and Tencent chose to make a new software to compete with Tencent. In this life, Ma and Tencent made very different choices.

Behind this, the actions and behaviors of Huizhong and Fang zhe can be said to play the most key role. Although President Ma, like Tang Daosheng and others, believes that making another software is a waste of resources, President Ma is even more afraid that Tencent is unable to compete with Huizhong by making a new software. Just like Tang Daosheng said, if you do it from scratch, users will accumulate from scratch, Why does Tencent think it can do better than Huizhong's wechat? If you don't do it from the beginning, or use the resource guide of QQ, why do you have to make a new software?

Huizhong's particularly high-profile promotion of wechat and wechat's accumulation of more than 30 million users around the world in less than a month have made President Ma feel a threat. Although the number of wechat users in China has not even passed the threshold of 10 million, we should be vigilant in times of peace and take precautions. Wechat can't develop in China, which is what President Ma wants to see most.

Fang zhe was overjoyed when he learned that Tencent did not let the internal team horse racing to make a new chat software specifically for the mobile terminal as in his previous life, but directly planned to update it on QQ. For several days in a row, Fang zhe was like eating honey, with a smile on his face all the time, and promoted wechat with great fanfare, Ma Zong and Tencent were finally misled by themselves.

Mr. Ma thinks that using QQ directly can save most resources and make use of the existing user advantages to continue to expand and stabilize the basic disk. However, in Fang Zhe's view, QQ is developed for the computer terminal in terms of product design, and mobile QQ is only an extension and supplement of computer QQ, whether in terms of user experience or function development and iterative update efficiency for the mobile terminal, Wechat has an absolute advantage over QQ!

Why did QQ in previous lives start from scratch when it was so huge? After the launch of wechat, the function of high coincidence with QQ once puzzled ordinary Internet users and even many people in the Internet industry. Fang Zhe, who had just entered the Internet industry at that time, was also ignorant. He really didn't understand why Tencent didn't have to be a wechat with QQ.

It was not until wechat developed slowly, until those who may not even have a computer at home and don't know what QQ is. After 60 and 70, people of parents' generation also began to use wechat, that Fang zhe gradually understood.

Wechat to QQ is equivalent to the revolution of the mobile Internet to the computer Internet. QQ is the product of the computer Internet era. It has stealth online busy, mature QQ group system, QQ space and so on. Tencent has spent more than ten years to establish a variety of product ecology.

However, wechat is a clean social software specially built for the mobile Internet. It doesn't need you to remember or register complex QQ numbers. It doesn't need you to set up stealth and busy online. It is one of the carriers of the mobile Internet. Open it, you enter the mobile Internet, exit it, and you still keep in touch with the mobile Internet.

In the smartphone era, no one is still idle. Every time they log in and out of their wechat account, even many people may have forgotten what their wechat signal and password are.

Ma Zong and Tencent only saw that Huizhong vigorously promoted wechat. Under the hasty challenge, it was wrong to go wrong. They "learned" according to the cat without understanding the essence of wechat.
