To say who is the most depressed among the Internet bigwigs under the stage at the moment, it is Tencent President Ma, who has rarely appeared in public recently.

"If Tencent could hatch wechat as soon as possible!"

"If QQ could follow up wechat as soon as possible!"

"If..." unfortunately, there is no if. In the past two years, President Ma of Tencent has become more and more haggard. Topics and articles such as Tencent's decline and why Tencent's transformation failed have become widely circulated negative teaching materials on the Internet.

At the moment, listening to Fang Zhezhi Yu Xuanang's speech on the stage and listening to his 1.8 billion wechat users, President Ma managed to maintain a peaceful state of mind and showed some signs of collapse. He rubbed his chest tightness, and even directly untied the tie buckle that made him feel difficult to breathe, regardless of the strange eyes around him.

Until Fang zhe stepped down, Mr. Ma didn't look in that direction again. He was afraid that he couldn't help fainting in one breath, and he was even more afraid that he would lose his mind and disturb such a grand meeting.

Aware of his strange google president Li, he unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle on the table between them and handed it to him.

Speaking of it, the two of them are in sympathy with each other. They are half a beat slower when transforming the mobile Internet. It is this half a beat slower that makes them miss the biggest opportunity in the history of the Internet industry and grow such a terrible monster as Huizhong!

In the past two years, Mr. Fang Zhe and Mr. Arima have come very close, while Mr. Li of Baidu and Mr. Ma of Tencent may have the same poor mentality. They have frequent exchanges and close cooperation. The two companies have jointly invested and cooperated in many projects.

After Fang zhe stepped down, international guests from all over the world began to speak on the stage, from the former Prime Minister of Ireland to the president of the internet name and digital address distribution organization.

In the afternoon, the organizers opened several sub forums to give all kinds of bosses and guests the opportunity to speak or participate in the discussion. As one of the main guests, Fang zhe participated in the mobile Internet forum with several heavyweight guests, such as sun Zhengyi, chairman of Softbank of Japan, Chang, chairman of China Unicom, and Fang bin, former president of Yanjing University of Posts and telecommunications. The theme of this sub forum is "Connect the future • share wisdom - Mobile Internet makes life better".

As one of the main guests, Fang zhe received the attention of the audience. The host also asked Fang zhe several questions about the theme and wechat.

"President Fang, at the opening ceremony of the conference this morning, you said that the total number of wechat users worldwide has reached 1.8 billion, which is less than half of the more than 3 billion people using the Internet around the world. What do you think the future growth of wechat users will enter a ceiling, or plateau period? If the growth of wechat users reaches the ceiling, what do you think is the next step of wechat, Or what is the core of Huizhong's next development? "

Moderator Xu Feng is the head of the mobile network administration bureau of the state Internet information office. His questions are also very sensitive.

"I think the ceiling of the total number of wechat users depends on the ceiling of smartphone users. When the total number of smartphone users does not grow or enter the plateau area, the total number of wechat users will slowly enter the plateau period and approach the ceiling. I estimate that this number should reach between 3 billion and 4 billion in 5 to 10 years.

There are more than 7 billion people in the world. Leaving aside these three or four billion people, the remaining two or three billion elderly people, children, or people in Africa and various underdeveloped countries may not use smart phones, but they will use cheaper and more durable function machines, hearing aids, children's early education equipment and other smart devices.

Today, when we mention wechat, we refer to wechat on mobile phones, but in fact, wechat has long supported computers, tablets, smart watches and other electronic devices. In the future, in the era of 5g and the Internet of things, wechat needs to connect all kinds of smart devices. Even if it is an old man or child, we will strive to create wechat suitable for them.

Wechat needs to connect everyone in the world, so the next step you ask is actually the answer. I think it may take more than ten years and decades for wechat and Huizhong to do this alone! "

WOW!

Warm applause broke out, and Fang Zhe's views were always so wonderful and interesting.

"Well, OK, what general Fang means is that wechat should connect all kinds of smart devices in the world and everyone in the world. I think this is also very consistent with the theme of our forum today and connect the future * wisdom sharing. I believe that when wechat does this, our life will be beautiful because of the convenience wechat brings us."

Xu Feng briefly summarized and turned the topic to sun Zhengyi, chairman of Softbank next to Fang zhe:

"Hello, Mr. Sun, just now president Fang imagined for us the vision of connecting wechat to various intelligent devices in the future. What do you think the future mobile Internet will look like?"

"The future can be far away or very near. We imagine a distant future. 3000 years later, perhaps the mobile Internet has evolved into more advanced technology. Human beings can contact family and friends on earth and play games at any time during Star Trek;

In the past 300 years, I think the chip computing speed at that time was hundreds or even thousands of times that of today. Artificial intelligence has gradually become popular and integrated into our life. The mobile Internet is not only connected to people, but also to your machine, housekeeper and nanny.

In the next 30 years, the future is very close to us. Most of us here today have the opportunity to see that if there was an iPhone at that time, it must be time to go out to the iPhone 32!

Let's call the iPhone 32 at that time. IPhone 32 may have two development directions. One is that the storage space becomes larger, which can store hundreds of thousands of songs and millions of years of media information.

The other is that the storage space becomes very small, or just as large as it is now. Because of the cloud technology and ultra-high network speed at that time, any software we run or mobile phone files we view can run directly on the cloud. Our mobile phone can only be a streaming media display, as long as we focus on breaking through the display technology. "

Sun Zhengyi's imagination also attracted a burst of warm applause from the audience. Many viewers couldn't help thinking about what the future iPhone 32 should look like with him? The screen gets bigger and longer?

Several bigwig level guests talked freely on the stage, and the audience listened with interest. From time to time, some Internet bigwigs with weaker level than on the stage stood up from the stage to answer or answer the questions of host Xu Feng.
