The next day, Li Dong's livestream became the center of everyone's discussion that night.
Did you not watch Li Dong's livestream?
That's a big loss for you!
Don't you know WeChat?
Then you're behind the times!
If you don't buy your parents a smartphone and download WeChat for them, then you're not filial.
If you still bring cash when you go out in the future, do you want to live in the primitive society that Li Dong mentioned?
Scanning payment. Some people did not understand it before, but now they understand.
Red packets. Some people did not know about it before, but now they know.
The whole world was talking about Li Dong!
An Eastern business giant. Even if he was just playing around and did a livestream, the effect it brought was beyond everyone's expectations.
Could others replicate it?
No!
They were not the world's richest man. Far away did not have the resources to promote their products. They did not have the corresponding products, and they were not as open-minded as Li Dong. They were not as young as Li Dong, and Li Dong could always come up with new things.
Other people might pay attention to their livestreams, and it might be effective. But they could never achieve the sensational effect that Li Dong had.
Just the reputation of being the world's richest man was enough to make others feel inferior.
24 years old, the world's richest man. This was the biggest capital!
Others thought that Li Dong's success was because of his ability to talk, livestreams, and WeChat. But that was not the case.
Without the first five years of foundation and the accumulation of his reputation, even if Li Dong became the world's richest man in an instant, he would not be able to achieve such a result.
This livestream had almost cut off Tencent's expansion in the mobile IM industry.
Unless Tencent could develop a mobile IM product that was five times or even ten times better than WeChat. Otherwise, no matter how much Weibo broke through, it would only be a niche product.
…
Shanghai.
After watching Li Dong's livestream, Qin Yuhan stared at the computer for a long time. She did not know what to feel at that moment.
He succeeded. He was very successful!
Far away had been in constant conflict with Tencent over the past few days. Many people could tell that Li Dong's current opponent should be Tencent.
Tencent launched WeChat and Far away launched WeChat.
Two similar products, and this time, WeChat won!
Qin Yuhan believed in Li Dong. He was a legend, the omnipotent Li Dong. There was no enemy he could not defeat, no opponent he could not defeat.
She wanted to be proud of this man from the bottom of her heart.
But in the middle of the live broadcast, Li Dong said, "My wife is staring at me." That short sentence crushed all her pride and arrogance.
That man didn't need her to be proud of him.
He didn't seem to have the right to be proud of himself.
With a self-deprecating smile, Qin Yuhan suddenly picked up her phone and pressed the button. "Fangfang, get ready. We'll start the trial operation of the platform tomorrow! Labor Day is coming soon, so we'll be testing the operation for two days. Since it's a holiday, we can correct any mistakes in time. "
As soon as the voice message was sent, she received a voice message from Qi Fangfang.
Feeling the charm of WeChat, Qin Yuhan suddenly smiled and said, "We can use WeChat's platform to promote it. In addition, we can use Wan Tong and WeChat QR codes to pay. We can use whatever we can! Also, we can use the red packet rebate activity. Since others have launched it, it'll be a waste if we don't use it. It'll save us the trouble of thinking of a promotion plan. "
After saying this, Qin Yuhan's smile became even brighter.
No matter how good you are, I'll still use it. You can't do anything about it. If you're not convinced, then you can sue me!
…
"Achoo!"
At this moment, Li Dong, who had just arrived home, suddenly sneezed.
Shen Qian hugged the sleeping Little Shitou and said softly, "Did you catch a cold? I'll make you some ginger soup later. Is your throat okay after talking all night? "
Li Dong laughed and said, "I'm not made of glass. It's nothing. It's only two and a half hours, and I didn't sing or dance … In fact, I wanted to do something else at first, but time didn't allow for it. Plus, there were more business this time, so I gave up. Maybe next time. Far away is building its own live broadcast platform now. If there's a chance next time, I'll break the record I created. Next time, I must open the gift function. To be honest, I always feel like I'm losing out when no one sends me gifts during the live broadcast at night … "
Shen Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As she entered the room, she said, "You should forget about it next time. I don't know where your head is filled with so many strange ideas. To be honest, many of the products Far away has come from your ideas. The more I understand you, the more I'll be infatuated with you. "
As she said this, Shen Qian suddenly said softly, "Being able to walk through this life with you hand in hand is probably the happiest thing in my life."
Li Dong grinned and said, "It's so mushy. Baby, don't mess around. The child is still listening."
"Screw you, baby!"
Shen Qian was really moved just now, but when Li Dong said "baby, don't mess around", she instantly thought of what Li Dong had just done in the live broadcast room.
From the beginning to the end, "baby" before "baby" after.
Tonight, who knew how many people were still immersed in the title of "baby", unable to extricate themselves.
…
The two chatted for a while. As it was getting late, they washed up and Shen Qian arranged for the two children to go to bed.
Li Dong did not go to bed, but sent a voice message to Ma Huateng.
"Brother Ma, what do you think of the new version of WeChat?"
After a while, Ma Huateng replied with a voice message, "Li Dong, are you showing off or provoking me?"
"Neither."
Li Dong replied, then smiled and said, "Let's talk over the phone. A voice message on WeChat is enough. It's more convenient to talk over the phone."
After saying that, Li Dong called Ma Huateng.
At this moment, Ma Huateng, who was still in the conference room, picked up the phone and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Brother Ma, don't use such a tone. I don't mean to go against you.
It's best not to be personal when doing business.
What I want to say is that if we fight, the probability of you losing in the end is as high as 90%. Believe it or not, this will be the result.
Therefore, I actually hope that the means and methods can be more peaceful.
I've already said that I don't really care about this field.
However, I can't give up completely.
Mobile devices, you guys have no hope. In the future, mobile devices will only grow bigger and bigger. As time passes, even if we don't target Tencent, we will still be eliminated.
This is the reality, and it is also the truth. "
Ma Huateng did not say anything. He could see this trend.
But what could he say?
Moreover, as time passes, Tencent might still find a chance to fight back.
Even if they defeated Far away in the PC market, Tencent still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Seeing that he did not say anything, Li Dong suddenly said, "Brother Ma, I can merge PP-related industries, including WeChat, into Tencent! This way, Tencent will achieve double the progress! Compared to your own development, it will save at least 3 to 5 years! What do you think? "
"Li Dong!"
Ma Huateng was shocked and said, "What do you mean? If you think this can provoke me, then you are underestimating me! "
"Wrong!"
Li Dong said seriously, "I don't mean to provoke you, and I'm not joking.
But the premise is that Tencent's shares are higher than yours.
I don't want to control Tencent. Just like MIH, I only enjoy dividends.
But you have to cede some related industries to me. Tencent doesn't want to do the most important Internet payment and financial industry. I will do it!
We will expand the areas of cooperation, and you can focus on social communication and gaming.
I believe that you and your team will do a good job in this aspect, even better than me. "
Ma Huateng was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed. "Are you trying to persuade me to surrender?
I think I am right. You are trying to persuade me to surrender, right?
Internet payment, from the current situation, runs through the entire Tencent system.
Although it does not seem to be worth mentioning, in fact, it controls Tencent's economic system.
You have taken over our Internet payment system and controlled most of our shares. Even if you don't want Tencent's management rights, in fact, you can easily get rid of Tencent.
Li Dong, tell me, do you think I'll agree? "
"Even if you don't agree, someone else will!
Will MIH and ABSA Bank agree?
Will the rest of your executives agree?
The Internet industry is the path of professional managers. Everything will remain the same, and the company's strength will increase exponentially.
As for the payment system being controlled by Tencent and Far Away, is there any difference?
Far Away's shares are higher than yours. Will Far Away give up Tencent?
The only one who will not agree is you.
Pony, I just don't want us to compete too much and waste our resources and strength.
Microsoft and the rest of the overseas giants are still eyeing our industries. In China, Sina and the rest had not given up on our communication and social media platforms.
Why don't we work together to chase those foreign investors out? I will replace them, and you can continue with what you are doing. There is no difference.
At this moment, the timing was actually the most appropriate!
Tencent is in danger, and it is only natural for them to give up. They can even give up voluntarily.
I only want the shares and payment system, and you can continue with the rest. Is it really that difficult? "
"Impossible!"
Ma Huateng replied firmly. "We will not know who will win until the last moment! It is not that easy for you to take me in! "
Li Dong sighed and said, "Why do you people have to do this?
Only you all can take over others, and others cannot?
Furthermore, this is not taking over. It is cooperation. Cooperation. Do you understand?
Tencent had not acquired many companies in the past few years, and they are investing in fewer companies?
Ali, Baidu, and everyone else is the same.
I don't need to teach you the principles of cooperation. I am only curious why everyone in the industry is against me, Li Dong, entering your system.
If it were someone else, will you, Ma Huateng, reject them so decisively?
Would he, Ma Yun, say no resolutely and decisively?
Why is this happening? I have been thinking about it … "
Ma Huateng was speechless. It is common for companies to invest in and acquire companies.
The companies that Lei Jun worked for or held a controlling stake in had been acquired more than once or twice, and it did not matter to them.
Tencent, Ali, Baidu, and other companies acquiring other internet companies was also common. They even brought in investment banks. Is there really that much of a difference from bringing in Li Dong?
Why is everyone against it?!
Li Dong had made it very clear. The management rights will still be given to them, and it will be no different from before.
And because of Li Dong's entry, they will achieve greater breakthroughs and development.
Why are they not willing?
Ma Huateng thought for a while and said slowly. "Maybe it is because they are afraid."
"Afraid?"
Ma Huateng was a little dispirited. He sighed. "Maybe it is because of jealousy? Or something else.
In short, we can accept others, but it is difficult to accept you.
Maybe it is not just you. Or it is more suitable to say that it is our own kind.
Or maybe it is because we are unwilling!
We have all kinds of thoughts, and after all these years, we are used to it. Our subconscious tells us that we are the best!
We can use other people's things, but others can't take away our things.
If we don't experience a crushing defeat, we won't be satisfied, and we won't be easily subdued by you.
Li Dong, I am not afraid to tell you that it is impossible to absorb Tencent now!
No matter what you do, it is impossible!
Unless Tencent is really defeated, and everyone thinks that it is time for you to enter. That will be your chance.
And at that time, maybe I will not be Tencent anymore. "
Ma Huateng's last sentence was very soft. Maybe there will be a day when he will leave Tencent.
Maybe that day will come very soon.
When Li Dong defeated Tencent, it will be time for him to leave.
At this point, people like them did not lack money, status, or anything else. Maybe it was a kind of obsession, or maybe it was a kind of pursuit of a dream.
And these, Li Dong could not give them!
What Li Dong gave him was his own dream, his own obsession, and pursuit.
Ma Huateng clearly knew that Ma Yun, Li Yanhong, and some other industrial giants would make the same choice.
If they failed, then they would start all over again!
The more they admired Li Dong, the more unwilling they were to follow him. They just wanted to fight back and make a comeback!
Ten years ago, Ma Huateng might have agreed, might have followed Li Dong.
Ten years later, he would not accept it.
Hearing Ma Huateng's words, Li Dong was silent for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I understand a little. It seems like we are the same kind of people. This is good, I don't have any hope, and I can fight with all my strength!"
If now, there was someone who controlled Far away, and even offered a price of 300 billion, 500 billion, to double the strength of Far Away.
And if the other party invited Li Dong to stay and continue to control Far Away, would Li Dong agree?
No way!
Not to mention the other party, even if it was an investment bank or other institutions, he would not agree.
If the other party controlled Far Away, no matter how much the other party, Li Dong, admired him, he would either retire, or make a comeback, with the other party as his target, and kill his way back!
And it was the same for people like Ma Huateng.
Therefore, Ma Yun was not willing to sell Taobao. Even if he sold, he would not hold any shares, let alone work for Li Dong.
It was the same for Ma Huateng. Tencent could only lose, not surrender.
When the opponent was Li Dong, there was no possibility of surrendering, unless, the power was no longer in his hands.
The conversation between the two ended here.
Ma Huateng and Li Dong both knew what this phone call was about.
Some of the previous disputes might have seemed like the two parties had shed all pretense of cordiality, but it had not reached the stage of fighting to the death.
No matter how strong WeChat was, it was only WeChat, it did not mean anything else.
The competition was also limited to this area.
But at this moment, the moment the phone call ended, it meant that there was no room for negotiation, no possibility of compromise.
Fighting to the death, if one party did not completely lose, the other party could forget about reaping the fruits of victory.
These words, although the two did not say it out loud, were clear in their hearts.
…
After hanging up the phone, Li Dong suddenly smiled and murmured, "Fine, it's good to let go of the last bit of hope."
A long time ago, he had always thought that if he controlled Ali and Tencent, people like Ma Yun and Ma Huateng would all work for him, how great would that be?
As for them, Li Dong would not mistreat them.
In terms of money and status, he would not give them less than in his previous life.
But at this moment, Li Dong was completely sober.
There were some things that he could not give.
And for people like them, it was fine in the early stages of entrepreneurship, but at this stage, some of the things that they pursued had actually changed.
Pure money and status were not everything that they wanted.
And these, Li Dong could not give them.
