That night, Li Dong slept peacefully.
If you let go of some things, you would have fewer worries in your heart. If you couldn't let it go, it would be troublesome.
Everything in the previous life was the previous life.
For those who were reborn, they all had some bad interests and liked to collect famous people. Li Dong was no exception.
When he first saw Wang Junyu, even if he was still a student, he wanted to take him under his command because he was a famous person in the previous life.
When he saw Wang Xin, he also wanted to take him under his command because he was also a famous person.
At first, when he saw Er Ma and other famous people in the previous life, he didn't think about it because the gap was too big.
But when he came to this step and felt that he had the capital and strength to take them under his command, naturally, the same idea arose in Li Dong.
However, when he was directly rejected by Ma Yun in Lin 'an last time, Li Dong realized that he was wrong about some things.
If it was ten years ago, he might have had a chance, but now, he didn't.
Ma Yun was like this, so was Ma Huateng.
Even Shao Yibo of Yi Qu was the same!
When Li Dong invited Shao Yibo to take charge of Far Away Mall, Shao Yibo refused without much consideration.
Why?
Was Far Away Mall not as good as Yi Qu?
Or was Li Dong's price too low?
None of them!
Because at this time, these people all had their own beliefs and their own pursuit. Another point was that they had capital and had passed the time of bowing down for five buckets of rice.
Take Lei Jun for example, how many companies did he work for?
Jinshan, YY, Zhuoyue, Xunlei, UC …
Lei Jun had been the boss or the highest authority in these enterprises, but as soon as the enterprise was acquired or lost its supreme authority, he would leave immediately without any hesitation.
He would rather start over and be a millet than stay. Was it purely because of money?
At night, Ma Huateng's words made Li Dong completely sober.
They were the same kind of people, but the same kind actually repelled each other.
They could be friends, enemies, or allies, but they couldn't eat from the same bowl.
Otherwise, as time went on, it was almost inevitable that they would fall out.
An enterprise only needed one core, and the goal of these people was this one and only core.
When there were two cores, they would either collapse or disappear. It was very difficult for these two cores to reach a balance.
When he clearly realized this, Li Dong completely let go of his unrealistic thoughts.
If Li Dong won against Ali and Tencent, he could defeat them and receive the fruits of his victory. However, he could not take them under his command while their core members still existed.
Without this thought, Li Dong could naturally sleep soundly.
…
A dreamless night.
Li Dong had a good night's sleep last night, but that didn't mean the others could.
Far away when Li Dong arrived at the company in the morning, almost half of the executives had dark circles under their eyes.
Obviously, these people did not sleep well. It was normal for them to not sleep for an entire night.
Zhang Xiaolong really did not sleep for the whole night. His eyes were even a little bloodshot.
When Li Dong arrived at the company, Zhang Xiaolong was waiting in the office.
As soon as he entered the door, Bai Su whispered, "Mr. Zhang did not go back last night. He stayed up all night in the company."
Li Dong nodded slightly and smiled. "Alen, you did not have breakfast, right?"
"General Manager Li, I …"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaolong was about to report his work, Li Dong pressed his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this first. Bai Su, get someone to send some food over. Work is important, but health is more important. In the past, I also liked to stay up late. When I first started my business, I could not sleep all night. But at that time, I was still young, so it didn't matter. But when I got older, I realized that there was no end to work, and there was no end to the money. Only my body was my own … "
Zhang Xiaolong was instantly embarrassed. Every time he heard Li Dong say that he was old and recalled his youth, he felt very embarrassed. Or rather, everyone felt embarrassed!
Damn it, how old are you?
How many years have you started your business?
Every time you talk about the past, you always talk about the past, but you still act like it was decades ago. Don't you feel embarrassed?
You are a young man in his twenties, but you always act like an old man. How can they accept this?
Zhang Xiaolong was a little helpless and embarrassed to say anything.
He and Li Dong were not very familiar with each other. The time they spent together was not too long.
So far away from Zhang Xiaolong, it had been less than a year. The number of times he had met Li Dong alone did not exceed 30 times.
If it were Sun Tao and the rest, it would be fine. They were used to it, and sometimes they could even joke around.
But Zhang Xiaolong could not. He had not reached the point where he could joke around with Li Dong.
Fortunately, after a while, Liu Hong entered the office with dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing Zhang Xiaolong, Liu Hong was not surprised. He smiled and said, "I didn't see Alen in the office just now, so I guessed that he must have come to General Manager Li's office. Early in the morning, everyone can't wait to report the good news. General Manager Li, just wait and see. There will be more people coming later. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Haiying's laughter came from outside the door. "General Manager Li, Director Liu, and Mr. Zhang are all here. I knew it. I didn't see anyone in General Manager Li's office early in the morning. "
"The few bosses are all here. Everyone is quite early."
As soon as Tan Haiying finished speaking, someone behind her spoke. It was the director of Far away Finance, Cao Jinsheng.
These people were all Far Away Finance. This was normal.
However, Li Dong did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Liu Hong.
Far Away Finance's four subsidiaries were now operating independently.
Under normal circumstances, Far Away Finance's matters could be reported to Liu Hong. There was no need to specially report to him.
However, these people came one after another early in the morning. The CEOs of the business groups and the CEOs of the subsidiary companies all came alone. This was a little strange.
If Liu Hong had organized this, it would be fine. But now, it was obvious that this was not the case.
Although the directors of the subsidiaries came to Li Dong's office and did not cross the line, when everyone came together, especially when Liu Hong was around, it was a little embarrassing.
Liu Hong's expression was very calm. It was unknown if he did not care, or if he did not realize it, or if he felt that it was reasonable for everyone to come to Li Dong's office. Anyway, when Li Dong looked at Liu Hong, there was nothing strange about him.
Liu Hong did not say anything. Li Dong also maintained his composure. He said with a smile, "It's good that you're all here. Take a seat.
Have you all eaten breakfast?
Bai Su, get someone to send more over. Let's all eat together.
Don't treat me like an exploiter. I admit that work is busy. Recently, everyone has been quite busy with tasks.
But as busy as you are, you still have time to eat and sleep.
Now, Far Away Technology's tasks are the most arduous. Everyone is the pillar of Far Away Technology.
If you all collapse, that will be the biggest loss to the group. "
Liu Hong quickly smiled and said, "I ate before I came. General Manager Li, don't worry. Our goal has not been achieved. Our Internet empire has not been built. At this time, we won't let ourselves fall behind. As General Manager Li said, the time to witness a miracle has not arrived yet. If we fall behind now, we will regret it for life. "
"You're right. The Internet industry has just started."
Li Dong drank his tea and smiled. "We still have a lot of potential to tap in the IT industry. The current industrial chain is actually not perfect. Far Away Technology is actually not much, and it is just the beginning. Many industries have not been deepened. If we really want to perfect the layout, Far Away Technology with a market value of more than a trillion US dollars, then we can call it an Internet empire … "
"Cough, cough, cough …"
In the office, Liu Hong and the others could not help but cough.
Far Away Technology, trillion US dollars!
They really could not understand what the boss was saying now.
To say that the entire Faraway Group would reach a market value of trillion US dollars in a few years, everyone was not sure, but there was still hope.
But was a trillion US dollars in Far Away Technology possible?
Li Dong did not care and continued to smile. "When we dominate e-commerce, instant messaging, social media, and Internet entertainment, why can't a trillion US dollars be possible? Of course, it is not possible in the current market, but it does not mean that it will not be possible in three or five years. "
Cao Jinsheng could not help but say, "There is also Internet finance."
Li Dong shook his head and said, "We can be the overlord in other fields, and we can even be the one and only overlord, but not in Internet finance."
Cao Jinsheng suddenly became silent when he heard this.
Internet finance could not work!
Why not?
It was very simple. It was related to the financial field, and it was the emerging Internet finance field, so it could not work.
Don't think that Wan Tong was doing well now, but so what?!
Ma Huateng said last night that Tenpay looked inconspicuous, but it ran through the entire Tencent industry and controlled the economic lifeline of Tencent.
In fact, it was more than Tencent!
Ali had been raising funds, but it had never used Alipay to raise funds.
In fact, Alipay almost did not get a third-party payment license. At that time, Alipay was the leader in the Internet payment field. If others could get it, why did Alipay almost not get it?
How did it get it in the end?
Although Ali did not say much to the public, people in the know knew that Alipay only got a third-party payment license after removing the foreign shares.
Ma Yun easily separated Alipay from Ali.
SoftBank and Yahoo did not say a word and tacitly agreed.
Were the investors stupid?
None of them!
Because if they did not leave, Alipay would be an unregistered account, and they would not be able to get a license.
According to the domestic financial regulations and the regulations when the Internet payment license was issued, if the proportion of foreign shares was too large, no matter how strong the company was, they would not be able to get a license.
Moreover, if the proportion of foreign shares was too large, it sounded like it was fine as long as one did not have a controlling stake. In fact, if one held more than 30% of the shares, the review period would be indefinite.
Therefore, the current Alipay was actually not in Ali's system. Instead, it was under the control of Ma Yun and the others.
In the current Internet group, it was common for foreign investment banks to hold more than half of the shares, and the government would never interfere.
No matter how fast the Internet developed, the government would only promote it and would not deliberately create difficulties for you.
However, there was one aspect that could not be done, and that was Internet finance.
Of course, the current Internet finance mainly referred to the Internet payment field.
However, there were all kinds of restrictions in the payment field alone. One could imagine that as the Internet finance field was gradually filled, the restrictions would only increase.
E-commerce, instant messaging, social media, search engines …
It was not like there were no cases of one company monopolizing these fields. If you had the ability, you could monopolize it.
However, if you wanted to monopolize the Internet finance field, you could forget about it.
Internet finance actually ran through the entire Internet industry. Even the integration of the real economy and the virtual economy could not be separated from this field. Its importance was far greater than anything else.
Li Dong had actually seen through this a long time ago.
Otherwise, his previous activities and technologies such as QR code payment, Red Envelope System, Red Envelope Rebate, and so on could have been developed after the launch of 3G. He would not have given Ali and Tencent a chance to follow suit.
However, Li Dong did not. He had started taking action when the mobile Internet era had just begun.
Later on, Alipay and Tencent quickly caught up.
Li Dong would let Wan Tong occupy the majority of the market share, but he would not kill them. This was actually a consensus reached by several IT giants.
Li Dong dared to take over Tencent, but after taking over Tencent, he would never take over Alipay.
Unless another Internet payment software with a large market share was born in the market.
These words were summarized by Li Dong in one sentence and did not go into depth.
The people present were not fools. With the establishment of the Internet economic system and its increasing share, everyone could feel which was more important.
Since Li Dong did not mention it, they did not talk about it.
Although Cao Jinsheng felt a little regretful, he still smiled and said, "Even if we cannot monopolize the market, it is still necessary and necessary to occupy the leading position!"
While they were talking, Bai Su brought a few staff members and brought a lot of food and drinks.
Although Li Dong had already eaten, he still picked up some food and ate it. It was not because he was hungry. If he didn't eat, the others wouldn't eat either. They asked Li Dong to wait at the side.
He moved his chopsticks, and the others probably did not eat, so they followed suit.
While eating, Zhang Xiaolong said, "General Manager Li, I think I should report as I eat. Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable if I keep it in my heart."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Just say it. It's just a small matter. Do you need to be so anxious?"
Zhang Xiaolong did not care what he said and immediately said, "After last night's live broadcast, there was a huge public response.
Even Tencent did not want to advertise for us, but Tencent News still gave a small report in the morning. No one will read it if it is not reported.
On the Internet and in real life, almost everyone is talking about WeChat.
The new version of WeChat was released, and the response was excellent!
When yesterday's live broadcast ended, WeChat's domestic registered users reached 11 million. I thought this was already a peak, but in fact, it was just the beginning.
After 10: 30 AM, WeChat's registered users exploded again.
I kept an eye on it at night, and at 12 AM, WeChat's registered users reached 14 million!
There were fewer people at night, but the number of registered users was still increasing at a high speed.
Before I came, at 7 AM sharp, we did the statistics. Currently, WeChat's domestic registered users have reached a whopping 16.5 million!
And the overseas version's growth is also very fast. After last night's live broadcast, there were 5 million users. When I looked in the morning, it had already reached 7 million.
The global number of users has reached 23.5 million.
And in the domestic area, we have covered almost half of the 3G smartphone users.
A product that reaches 50% of the user base, after this, there is almost no need for us to promote it, nor do we need to do anything. Let nature take its course, and this product will naturally explode.
By the end of today, I dare to say that the domestic registered users will reach 20 million! "
Zhang Xiaolong was a little excited and spoke confidently.
Li Dong did not doubt it. Sometimes, products are like this. It is difficult to accumulate the initial users, but after the initial stage, it will explode very quickly.
In Feng Yu's previous life, WeChat spent 7 months to accumulate 15 million users.
From 15 million to 50 million, WeChat spent 3 months. From 50 million to 100 million, it still took 3 months. From 100 million to 600 million, it only took slightly more than a year.
Based on the initial speed of 2 million users per month, to reach 600 million users, it would take 25 years.
But Tencent only spent slightly more than 2 years to accumulate more than 600 million users.
When a product, especially a communication product, is used by people, there is actually no need to advertise or promote it. Just by word of mouth and using one's social circle to promote it, the speed of the explosion is incomparable to the large-scale promotion in the early stages.
Currently, WeChat has become the first choice for smartphone users, and it far surpasses similar products like WeChat. It is almost impossible for the latter to surpass WeChat.
Unless the other party is unconventional, or something happens to WeChat, Li Dong does not need to care about WeChat anymore.
Zhang Xiaolong was excited, and Li Dong saw him losing his appetite. He smiled and comforted him. "It is indeed worth celebrating. But this is just the beginning. There are less than 30 million users globally, and the market is still huge. It has been almost a month since WeChat was launched, and we must reach 100 million users within two months and 200 million users within three months! Our current version is close to the ultimate version, and I believe we can achieve it. We will celebrate after we reach 200 million users. There is no rush now. "
Zhang Xiaolong nodded. According to the current trend, as long as the number of smartphone users in China continues to increase, it is not impossible for WeChat to reach 200 million users within three months.
After Zhang Xiaolong finished speaking, Tan Haiying also put down her chopsticks and wiped her hands. "General Manager Li, you were a genius last night. Just a few words from you, and our shopping mall's business has increased significantly. From last night until now, the business volume of smartphones alone in the shopping mall had increased by a large margin. In the morning, we counted all kinds of 3G smartphones, and in one night, the shopping mall has sold 230,000 units. Moreover, today will also be an explosive period. In addition, there's also Distance Supermarket. I believe that after opening for business today, there will also be a surge in sales. In total, our smartphone sales today alone may exceed 500,000 units. "
When Tan Haiying said this figure, many people's eyes moved.
What is the concept of 500,000 phones in a day?
Whether it is Faraway Supermarket or Far Away Mall, the price of smartphones is about the same.
Physical stores, the profits are slightly lower. After all, the expenses are high.
But in the shopping mall, the profit margin is not low.
Of course, Far Away is trying to open up the market, and the price is not too high. When smartphones are just rising, the OL02 model is priced at 2,499 RMB, and there are various preferential policies, and the sales are generally more than 2,300 RMB. Compared to other phones, the profit margin is lower.
At present, the profit margin of smartphones in the market is generally more than 10%, and it is normal for it to be as high as 20% or even higher.
Far Away, the profit margin is evenly divided, excluding some activity discounts, a smartphone, taxes, and other costs. The profit is about 150 to 200 RMB.
Even if the lowest is 150 RMB, if 500,000 more phones are sold from last night to today, the profit alone will increase to 75 million RMB.
And this is the profit of the channel!
In fact, Li Dong is not only the channel, but he is also the head of the manufacturer. Currently, the increase in smartphone sales is mostly from OL phones.
In this aspect, Li Dong actually made more money. After all, there are other channels that are also selling OL phones.
Therefore, in one day, Li Dong made 200 million RMB just from the phones. This is not a lie.
In addition to the number of WeChat users, the PP video traffic last night increased greatly, and the membership fees …
Far Away's original performance, the daily profit is close to 100 million RMB.
All in all, not including the added value of WeChat and other products, Li Dong definitely made close to 400 million RMB in one day!
When this debt was reflected in their hearts, Liu Hong and the others did not know how they should feel.
The speed at which this rich person makes money is really not a joke.
400 million RMB a day!
Last night, when Li Dong said that 100 million RMB is not even a small goal, many people probably thought that he is joking.
But is Li Dong joking?
He is not joking!
What he said was the absolute truth!
Who would make money in six hours as a small goal?
When you earn 3,000 RMB a month, would you set 25 RMB as a small goal in life? Obviously not!
In comparison, Li Dong obviously would not set 100 million RMB as a small goal.
The more they thought about it, the more Liu Hong and the others felt emotional.
This money came so easily, and the boss is so stingy. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
The last time, he said that he has no money to give out red packets. Not long ago, he took more than 2 billion RMB back, but he did not give out any red packets. Could it be that being stingy is one of the reasons why rich people are richer?
The few of them cursed in their hearts, but no one showed it. They continued to report the progress honestly.
