"70 yuan?" Fang zhe said with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth
"It seems that Tencent and President Ma really can't sit still. Chinese people love small and cheap. Since mobile QQ gives us 70 yuan, we will specifically target domestic subsidies, add 5 yuan and 10 yuan, and we will give benefits to the people all over the country!"
Fang zhe doesn't care about Tencent's counterattack measures. Is it better than throwing money? Sorry, Tencent may not be able to hit Huizhong!
Not to mention that the US $9 billion raised by Huizhong in round a is nearly 60 billion yuan, which is equivalent to Tencent's six-year net profit, even deducting the more than US $3 billion spent on previous investment in cloud computing, Xiaomi and wechat traffic subsidy plans.
The remaining money from Huizhong's round a financing alone is as high as more than US $5 billion and more than RMB 30 billion. If you want to add Huizhong's own game business and mobile Internet business with a profit of more than 10 billion a year, what can Tencent compare with Huizhong?
In Huizhong's main business, except that wechat and cloud computing businesses now need to spend huge investment subsidies, other businesses are basically profitable. In contrast, Tencent, because Tencent's front is too long and all businesses are involved, whether it can make money or not, at least in terms of human, material and financial resources, Tencent is much higher than Huizhong.
Huizhong's current valuation of US $52 billion is US $2 billion higher than Tencent's valuation of US $50 billion. However, Tencent has nearly 30000 employees, while Huizhong has only about 15000. In other words, Huizhong's per capita net profit is more than twice that of Tencent!
"You should also hurry up to test the red envelope plan for the Spring Festival, and let Li Yifei serve snacks there. Don't give me anything wrong!" Fang zhe told his subordinates who reported to me.
Compared with the situation of little development caused by the mutual check and balance between Myspace and Facebook abroad, the only thing that can check and balance Tencent in China is Huizhong's own bare arms.
Fang zhe can feel that Ma and Tencent firmly want to win the decisive battle between mobile QQ and wechat in the field of domestic mobile social software, but Fang Zhe is also confident to compete with Tencent.
Although Tencent can channel through QQ, middle-aged and elderly users aged 35-60 without QQ are also the weakness of QQ and the main user group of wechat.
As long as wechat can establish preconceived ideas in their hearts, wechat will surely win when mobile QQ does not have too many advantages over wechat!
On the third day Tencent launched the traffic subsidy plan for mobile QQ, the official wechat operation team also announced to increase the subsidies of wechat in China. On average, the subsidy amount of each wechat user in China has been increased from 60 yuan to 80 yuan now!
In addition, the wechat operation team has also made extensive promotion of wechat across the country through a variety of ways, including wechat advertising on major domestic news websites, video websites and novel websites, outdoor advertising on subways and bus stations, and implantation of wechat in several popular urban TV dramas in China.
After some measures, the number of new users of wechat in China has increased more violently. In the three days of new year's Day holiday alone, the number of new users of wechat in China has exceeded 10 million. In addition, wechat has conducted a traffic subsidy for half a month before, and the total number of users of wechat in China has exceeded 50 million!
After the end of new year's day, the time entered 2011. It was in this year that the "wechat" developed by Tencent came out at the end of January.
In this life, due to the disturbance of Fang Zhe and Huizhong, wechat has become a product of Huizhong, and Tencent did not develop a chat software specially designed for domestic mobile users as scheduled because of the intervention of Fang Zhe and Huizhong, but chose to continue to add code to mobile QQ!
For Tencent's choice, while secretly proud, Fang zhe also understood that this was the helpless choice of Ma and Tencent executives.
When wechat came out in the previous life, although there was a chat software Mi chat in China that had a direct competitive relationship with it, when Tencent launched wechat, MI chat only had more than 10 million users. As a start-up company, Xiaomi behind Mi chat has no way to compare with Tencent in terms of human, material and financial resources, and various resources. Therefore, Lei Zongcai had no choice but to give up rice chat and make his own mobile phone.
However, Mr. Lei also said at that time that if we give meter chat another six months of development time, even if Tencent launches wechat, meter chat will also compete with wechat. Behind this is the preconceived advantage and time advantage!
Now, wechat and Xiaomi, which are many times more powerful than previous generations of MI chat, compete with mobile QQ and Tencent. Which one wins or loses, not to mention the domestic Internet peers and national netizens watching the excitement, even many senior executives of Huizhong and Tencent dare not guarantee.
Therefore, just after new year's day, both companies entered a new round of crazy subsidy activities. The per capita subsidy amount of wechat was increased to 80 yuan, and the per capita subsidy amount of mobile QQ was increased to 90 yuan. Then, within a few days, wechat increased the subsidy amount to 100 yuan!
"I'll go, QQ and wechat are the rhythm of fighting!" netizens all over the country, at the beginning of the new year after new year's day, all have the mentality of eating melons, watching Huizhong and Tencent, and watching wechat and mobile QQ fight each other.
The netizens themselves are sitting in the middle to reap the benefits, and enjoy the traffic subsidies of Huizhong and Tencent. Therefore, many netizens have installed mobile QQ and wechat chat software on their mobile phones at the same time!
"Fight, fight, the more lively the fight, the more free traffic I get. It's best to subsidize that I don't have to buy traffic packages in half a year!"
"In fact, I think both QQ and wechat are very useful. Why do they have to fight together?"
"You're stupid. One mountain can't tolerate two tigers. How can Tencent allow the same social software as QQ in China!"
"I don't understand. Now is the era of mobile Internet. In the future, everyone will use smart phones to surf the Internet. If everyone uses wechat on their mobile phones, can QQ survive?"
"I've convinced boss Fang. Tenima is rich and willful. I heard that Huizhong's wechat carries out subsidy activities around the world. If a user subsidizes 100 yuan, wouldn't 1 million users have to subsidize 100 million?
I heard that there were 10 million new users in China alone on wechat New Year's day. That doesn't mean that wechat burned 1 billion in three days. My God, how nice it would be if you gave me so much money! "
"There are so many. On New Year's day, the subsidy amount of wechat is only 80 yuan, with a maximum subsidy of 800 million!"
"At most, I'll burn 800 million in three days. I just want to know, no, which company in the world is so rich and willful?"
"Isn't Tencent the same?"
"Ha ha, Tencent is really not. You haven't seen the latest announcement of QQ. Tencent's subsidy amount is now beginning to require a minimum consumption amount. It will give you back traffic subsidies unless you spend more than a certain amount of traffic every month!"
"Lying trough, Tencent counselled!"
