Beijing.
Following Li Dong's announcement. Mobile headquarters.
Someone said with a serious expression, "A voice version of WeChat will definitely have a huge impact on our SMS and voice calls!"
"Right, we can't let WeChat survive, or we'll be in big trouble!"
"It sounds nice to say that it won't affect the phone call market, but how can the appearance of a voice function not affect it?"
"Director Wang, we can't wait any longer …"
Everyone was discussing. Wang Jianzhou coughed lightly and said calmly, "How can we suppress them?
It's a live broadcast now, and the whole world knows about it.
At this time, the only thing we need to do, and what we can do, is to make our own technological breakthroughs and other channels of expansion.
The mobile internet era has officially arrived!
Everything that Li Dong is promoting now might not be a bad thing.
At least, 3G users will explode at the fastest speed because of his promotion.
The traffic revenue and other value-added revenue might not be lower than the traditional voice and SMS revenue?
We shouldn't be rushing to make decisions before there's a conclusion. "
"But if we wait for WeChat to become stronger, we won't have a chance …"
Wang Jianzhou suddenly snorted. "Worrying about the opponent becoming stronger is not the mentality a big company should have! The stronger the opponent, the better! This is also a test for us, and the government is happy to see it happen! The development of new technologies, breaking the barriers of traditional industries, and breaking the monopolies of some industries … are what the government wants to see! "
Everyone was speechless when they heard that.
Breaking the monopolies of industries? Did the government want to see that?
Yes!
The 3G license was proof of that!
Mobile was previously the unbeatable giant of the telecommunications industry. Both Unicom and Telecom were no match for Mobile.
But because of 3G, Mobile had spent hundreds of billions of dollars, and the user experience was not very good.
If not for the cooperation with Far away to promote mobile services Far away, it was inevitable that Unicom and Telecom would join forces to take over some of their users.
Why did Wang Jianzhou not want to be entangled with Li Dong?
Why did he not mention the voice version after one phone call?
He had some reservations, that was for sure.
But the key was that Far away was cooperating with them, and not Unicom and Telecom!
Far away, they might increase the number of 3G subscribers by tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. This would help Mobile continue to consolidate its position as the industry leader. Could Wang Jianzhou not understand this?
Now that Mobile was suppressing Distance, there was no guarantee that the other two families would choose to cooperate.
This was highly possible.
Wang Jianzhou was too lazy to say more. How could the people present not see it? It was just like what Li Dong said, he was single-minded.
He wanted to grab everything in one go. He didn't want to suffer any losses and only wanted to take advantage of others. How could it be so simple?
There were gains and losses. In the end, it all depended on the pros and cons.
As long as the pros outweighed the cons, so what if there was an impact?
So what if the revenue from voice calls and text messages decreased?
Wang Jianzhou understood this point, and so did many others. It was up to everyone to choose.
…
As the pros and cons were still unclear on the mobile side, no decision had been made.
Shenzhen City.
However, Ma Huateng took a deep breath and stared at the screen. "The WeChat chat is over!"
Zhang Zidong's expression was heavy as he said bitterly, "There's still a chance …"
"How many days?"
"Ten days. Ten days is enough …"
"Ten days. How many WeChat users do you think there will be after ten days?" Ma Huateng asked again.
Everyone was speechless. Far away was not Xiao Mi.
Xiao Mi did not have a user base, and Lei Jun was not Li Dong.
Li Dong's livestream could attract tens of millions of users on a single platform. In 2009, no one could surpass him.
Including the hundreds of millions of old users Far away, how many WeChat users would there be in ten days?
This question was not easy to answer.
However, Ma Huateng did not hide it. He said self-deprecatingly, "30 million. I don't think it will be too difficult. It might be more.
Especially the few inconspicuous things he mentioned earlier. Did everyone understand?
Download WeChat. Don't worry about the data flow. He will discuss with the operations and send it back.
The price of the mobile phone will be lowered again.
Download a WeChat account for your parents. We can communicate with them later …
Look, he's starting again … "
Everyone immediately looked at the screen. They saw Li Dong saying with a face full of emotions, "It's not easy for your parents. They don't even dare to speak more than a few words on the phone.
It's fine. We have 30 million custom-made mobile phones.
The data flow cost is very low. It doesn't cost much.
There's also WeChat software on it. You don't need to download it. You just need to bind your phone number and log in.
Add your parents as friends and chat with them when you are free.
My original intention for the voice version was to serve all the elderly in the world.
Some people say that WeChat is targeted at the white-collar class and the elite class. Wrong, wrong!
Am I, Li Dong, that kind of person?
Am I promoting WeChat to serve you?
I'm not serving you. I'm serving the middle-aged and elderly. So, even if you have to live frugally, you have to buy a custom-made mobile phone for your parents.
Of course, you can also buy one for your whole family. There's a discount package.
Greet them when you wake up, greet them on your way to work. Don't forget to chat with your parents and family when you go to the toilet.
Oh, WeChat has many other functions.
Everyone should know about the red packet function. WeChat has it.
Send a red packet to your parents. Why? It's not for fun, but for convenience.
Because WeChat, like Wan Tao, has a QR code scanning payment function.
Parents are reluctant to spend money on groceries. They haggle over a few cents and a few cents at the market. How sad is that?
You usually send a small red packet of a few tens of yuan. It's useless to leave it on WeChat. You might as well buy some groceries and food.
Everyone, watch me. This is the counter of the Faraway Supermarket … "
…
In the livestream.
Li Dong had a lot of vegetables in his hands. They were real vegetables.
Holding the vegetables, Li Dong laughed and said, "Shopping at the Faraway Supermarket is a pleasure for many middle-aged and elderly people. It's convenient to buy groceries.
It's even more convenient to pay.
As you send the red packet, your parents carry the vegetables to the counter. They don't even need to pay. They just need to open the QR code on their phone or scan it themselves. They just need to scan the QR code to pay.
Moreover, after scanning, they can receive a red packet.
At most, it's a few hundred yuan. At least a few cents. Over time, they can buy something delicious.
Far Away will promote the WeChat QR code scanning payment service all over the country. In fact, it's the Wan Tao QR code scanning payment service.
However, many people are not familiar with Wan Tao. Moreover, when you chat, they don't want to open another app. It's too troublesome.
Now, they don't need to switch while chatting. They can just use WeChat to pay. How convenient.
I once said that in the near future, you don't need to bring a wallet or even cash when you go out. This is not empty talk.
In the future, we will cooperate with bus companies, subway companies, taxi companies, major shopping malls, major tourist attractions …
We will cooperate and promote wherever we need to spend money!
What's the point of paying?
It's too troublesome!
QR code scanning!
WeChat QR code scanning, Wan Tao QR code scanning, PP QR code scanning. One day, I will open a QR code scanning service on Weibo and Far Away Mall.
Anyway, as long as you use a Far Away app, I will give you a QR code scanning payment service.
You can take a taxi or take the bus. You can chat with your friends and family while taking three seconds to scan the QR code. Everything will be solved perfectly!
The current WeChat is not the ultimate version.
I'm afraid that everyone will not use the good stuff and waste it.
Take your time. After some time, we will introduce more good stuff.
However, I absolutely believe that everyone should be satisfied with what they've gotten so far.
So, there's nothing to wait. It's 9 now. Everyone should download whatever you need.
It's fine if you don't have a smartphone. You think it's too late and it's not convenient to buy it?
What's there to be afraid of? Go to Far Away Mall. Order now and I will deliver it to you before noon tomorrow.
You can use WeChat in the afternoon.
Our Far Away Mall has first-class service, first-class quality, and first-class logistics!
Who knows, there might be some places near the storage center. You can order now and you will get your phone in half an hour. I, Li Dong, am not lying.
As long as the local supply is sufficient, if you can't get your phone in half an hour, look for me and I will send it to you for free!
Of course, this depends on the distance. If it's more than 30 kilometers away from the storage center or if it doesn't have any stock, don't use this against me.
Our express delivery team is ready to go.
Is there anyone who wants to order now?
I will live-stream for another hour. Let's wait and see if anyone gets their phone immediately.
If you get it, everyone can use the new version of WeChat.
Also, those who get their hands on the phone after my live-stream ends can send a message on the screen. I want to see how fast our express delivery is!
The first one to send a message and get verified will get a big prize. Do you want to try? "
Following Li Dong's words, in the live-stream, Liu Hong said softly, "Outsiders say that General Manager Li is a master of marketing. This is true!"
Everyone nodded.
A live-stream with a few simple words. WeChat, MasterCard, Far Away Mall, OPPO mobile phones, Far Away Express, Faraway Supermarket, PP Video …
Far Away's businesses were almost all brought along by Li Dong and linked together.
From WeChat to ordering mobile phones at the mall and using QR code to pay at the supermarket, Li Dong very naturally explained everything.
At this time, Li Dong was still talking with assurance.
After chatting for a while, Li Dong suddenly said, "It's already 8 million? So fast? Aren't you afraid that I will renege on my debt? You really downloaded it. I was just joking. The download of the new version of WeChat costs a lot of data. If I don't make it up to you later, you will have wasted your money. Forget it, I will make it up to you. Also, since the number of users hasn't reached 10 million, I will not go offline for the time being. Since I have nothing to do, how about I play a little game with everyone? "
There was a lot of support in the bullet screen area, and they also hoped that Li Dong could play some new tricks.
At this time, Li Dong's smile was a little treacherous.
As soon as they saw this expression, many people suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. They all said, "It has nothing to do with me, right?"
…
In Lin 'an.
Ma Yun rubbed his nose and murmured, "I am far away from him. It should have nothing to do with me."
Everyone nodded quickly. "It has nothing to do with you. You think too much."
…
And Ma Huateng in Shenzhen frowned. Suddenly, he suddenly threw the mobile phone in his hand aside, stood up, and said, "End of meeting!"
Before he ended the meeting, Li Dong on the screen said with a smile, "Now I enter Ma Huateng's mobile phone number. I am sure that he has registered a WeChat account, downloaded the latest version, and is watching the live-stream. Everyone, look carefully. I will add him as a friend. If he doesn't add me, he has a guilty conscience. If he adds me, I will chat with Brother Ma and let everyone see the voice version's function. I will also send him a red packet to appease him. Later, Brother Ma can use my red packet to buy a few packs of tissues at Faraway Supermarket. Don't cry too badly. "
While talking, Li Dong quickly entered Ma Huateng's mobile phone number, and then said in surprise, "Damn, he really used his mobile phone number to register for WeChat. Is he stupid? I was just joking. Brother Ma, your IQ … Forget it, I won't provoke you. Don't hide it. You are a man. Be generous and add me as a friend. I also registered for WeChat and advertised for you during the live-stream. Add me as a friend and let me test the new function. Do you think it works? If not, I will ask Ma Yun to try. That guy must have also registered … "
Li Dong continued, but Ma Huateng gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You are ruthless!"
Zhang Zidong said angrily, "Ignore him!"
Ma Huateng took a deep breath and said, "I made a mistake. I forgot about this just now."
He was holding his mobile phone and wanted to experience the latest WeChat version as soon as possible, so he registered with his mobile phone.
Under normal circumstances, they would use the company's mobile phone and number to register for a trial.
Now that Li Dong had discovered it and mentioned it in the live-stream, it would be a blow to morale if he ignored it.
Seeing him pick up his mobile phone, Zhang Zidong suddenly said, "Pony, just pretend you don't know."
It was not that Zhang Zidong did not understand Ma Huateng's choice, but he was worried that Ma Huateng's ability to talk was far inferior to Li Dong's.
It was not a worry, but a fact. Ma Huateng was indeed not as good at talking as Li Dong, and he was not as shameless as him. At least in public, Ma Huateng still cared about his face.
Instead of being angered by Li Dong to the point of vomiting blood, it was better to pretend not to know now and let Li Dong harm others.
…
At the same time.
Lin 'an.
Ma Yun said in a hurry, "How can I untie him? Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have registered. I didn't expect that I would be fooled the second time! "
What he said was that when Far Away Mall was just established, he used his address to participate in a seckill event, and he was used by Li Dong for a while.
Now Li Dong did not target him at the first time. While Li Dong and Ma Huateng were dawdling, he had to untie him as soon as possible.
Others saw the chairman in a hurry, and many people did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Cai Chongxin said helplessly, "I can't untie him today. He can untie him the next day …"
"I …"
Ma Yun said angrily, "What kind of lousy software is this? The user experience is extremely bad. I will complain to them later!"
The others didn't say anything. You downloaded it yourself, who else can you blame?
If you insist on testing the function, you can test it. The company has a lot of mobile phones and a lot of dedicated machines. It is not others' fault that you insist on downloading it with your own mobile phone.
However, everyone could understand. Far Away Mall's product was developed, and after Li Dong demonstrated it on the video, these big shots could not wait to use it.
Everyone dared to bet that at this time, there would be a lot of big shots who used their mobile phones to download and register. At least more than half of the big shots in the Internet industry were probably bound to their mobile phones at this time.
If Li Dong really wanted to try them one by one, he would definitely be able to catch a few.
At this time, the big shot who was eager to untie him with Ma Yun would not only be Ma Yun.
When this scene appeared in their minds, many people wanted to laugh.
Everyone said that Li Dong was a scammer, but you guys just had to fall into the pit and give him a chance to scam others. There was really no other way.
…
Far Away Mall.
In the live broadcast room.
Li Dong suddenly said in surprise, "Brother Ma added me. A big shot is a big shot indeed. This bearing is extraordinary! If it were me, if I were caught, I would definitely pretend to be asleep. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let me say hello. Brother Ma, don't pretend that you can't hear it. Even if you can't hear it on your mobile phone, you can still see it in the live broadcast room. "
As he said that, Li Dong pressed the phone's microphone and said, "Pony, Pony … Please reply if you hear me!"
After about seven or eight seconds, Li Dong said with a smile, "He replied, and it's a voice message. Brother Ma is really good. A big shot is a big shot, learning to send a voice message in such a short time. Since he replied, I don't think Brother Ma would mind playing it for everyone to hear. I'll play it for everyone and see how the sound quality is. After all, we're thousands of miles apart. Maybe there's a problem with our product. "
After Li Dong said that, he turned on the voice message. Ma Huateng's slightly deep voice came from the mobile phone, "Congratulations, the product is well done."
Li Dong listened for a while and then said disappointedly, "That's all? Brother Ma, say a few more words.
Forget it, you're just a taciturn gourd. You don't even know how to talk. Two days ago, I was too lazy to answer your questions.
I don't want to talk to you anymore. It seems that Shenzhen's signal and data conversion are quite good. I'll try to contact others. Ma Yun, Zhang Jindong, Liu Chuanzhi …
These big brothers are very supportive of me. They must have downloaded WeChat and bound their mobile phones.
I'll add them as friends and chat with them. I'll let everyone understand that WeChat is a product that everyone is using!
These big brothers are using it, and countless celebrities are also using it. I still have a lot of celebrities' phone numbers in my mobile phone. I'll add them as friends later so that everyone can chat to their heart's content.
Everyone can use me as a transit point to chat with these business giants and celebrities that you like.
Everyone can send a bullet screen message to whoever you like. I'll make preparations in advance so that everyone has a chance to participate … "
As soon as he made this proposal, the bullet screen area went crazy again.
Not far away, Liu Hong and the others quickly said, "Contact some celebrities immediately. Those who haven't registered for WeChat, hurry up and register. As for the appearance fees, Far away will be paid later! Contact East Star and ask them to support us … "
Everyone quickly began to make arrangements. The charm of WeChat was being used to the extreme by Li Dong.
Business giants and celebrities were almost all topics that ordinary people were interested in.
In addition, Li Dong, the world's richest man, was doing a live broadcast. Those people would also give him face.
Just now, Li Dong did not go too far. He only said a few words to Ma Huateng and did not continue. It was probably out of Ma Huateng's expectations.
Even Ma Huateng, Far away's biggest rival, Li Dong did not go too far. If others gave him face and cooperated, Li Dong would not go too far.
…
And that was indeed the case.
As some celebrities and business giants joined the live broadcast interaction, the audience's enthusiasm rose even higher.
In the beginning, there were 10 million online viewers. Later, at its peak, the number of viewers approached the 20 million mark!
And the number of WeChat downloads went from 8 million to 9 million in less than half an hour. This was the number of registered users in the country.
When it was close to 10 o 'clock, the number of users in the country officially exceeded 10 million!
At this moment, there were about 40 million users in the country for 3G smartphones.
Some people might not have watched the live broadcast or because of other reasons, did not choose to download it for now.
But the coverage reached more than 25% in an instant, which exceeded everyone's expectations.
And this was just now. In the next few days, there would be reports and discussions about this live broadcast. There would definitely be many people choosing to buy smartphones this time. 20 million or even 30 million would be within reach.
This was the case with social media. It was difficult to accumulate users at the beginning.
But once the scale increased, it would snowball.
10 million today and double tomorrow. It was not impossible.
When Li Dong officially ended the live broadcast at 10: 30 PM, the number of viewers had reached 22 million. The number of registered WeChat users in the country had reached 11 million, and the number of overseas users had exceeded the 5 million mark!
16 million users worldwide!
This number was still increasing. Before Li Dong's live broadcast, the number was 8.6 million.
In two and a half hours, there were 7.4 million new registered users. This was still limited by the hardware.
Liu Hong and the others were almost certain that if everyone had a smartphone, this number would increase by 10 times.
Five years later, Li Dong's live broadcast might bring in more than 50 million users. It was a terrifying celebrity effect!
…
When Li Dong walked out of the live broadcast room, there was a thunderous applause!
Everyone looked at Li Dong with admiration. This master might look unreliable, but in fact, there were almost no times when he was unreliable.
When the others were preparing to report the results, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Also, the mobile IM competition has come to an end. Get ready, the PC competition is here! Ma Huateng, I'm afraid you should be having an overnight meeting now. I won't be having a meeting. Go back early and have a good rest. Tomorrow, our battle will really start! "
The crowd, who were in high spirits just a moment ago, froze when they heard this.
Yes, the mobile IM competition had really ended. Because of Li Dong's live broadcast and WeChat's mature system, it had surpassed the progress of Wechat by more than three versions. It was very difficult for the other party to catch up.
But the battle on the PC side had only just begun.
At that moment, everyone's excitement died down.
