Ma Huateng had a complicated look on his face. He doesn't think this is interesting, but what Feng Yu said will help Tencent a lot. Maybe this time, he doesn't understand what Feng Yu is saying.
"General Manager Feng, we will look into this when we get back."
Feng Yu saw Ma Huateng's expression and knew he doesn't believe him. In Feng Yu's previous life, QQ Farm had also imitated Happy Farm. But with its huge user base, QQ Farm overtook Happy Farm. But Feng Yu cannot deny that Happy Farm's staff is very creative.
Ranches and restaurants, which are derived from Happy Farm, had attracted a lot of users. First, QQ Farm can maintain user loyalty, and second, it can stimulate the sales of Yellow Diamond members.
"Ok. I believe you all have other ideas, and it will surely bring in more profits for the company."
In Feng Yu's previous life, after Tencent became strong, it had acquired many small internet companies. Tencent is interested in this company's creativity and not its marketing ability. When it comes to marketing, Tencent is second to none.
"General Manager Feng, you had mentioned that we should not compete with Sina, NetEase, and the rest for users. But as some foreign internet companies enter Hua Xia, I think if we join them, we will be able to accelerate the development of this industry."
Healthy competition is the best catalyst for development.
"So?"
"That's why I intend to set up QQ Mail, QQ Forum, QQ Music, and other services. We will build an internet technology empire around our QQ Software!"
Ma Huateng's ambition is revealed at this moment. However, someone once said that everyone who achieved great success had ambitions that others could never hope to reach.
Ambition was also a kind of motivation. It could urge people to continuously work hard to achieve their ambitions.
Feng Yu suddenly remembered what Ma Huateng said. Ma Huateng said Tencent might not have enough funds and will be listed in 2005 at the latest. What is he talking about? There are so many businesses to be launched, and how can the expenditure be small?
It is impossible for a product to make money the moment it is introduced to the market. A product needs a huge amount of funds from the research and development to the promotion stage. Why are internet companies known as money-burning companies? It is because the initial investment of internet companies is huge, and they cannot make profits immediately. But once the company succeeds, the profits will be huge!
"Manager Ma, I believe your dream will come true in the future. But the most important thing is our QQ Software. We must maintain our leading edge in all aspects. We must let people think of QQ first when they think of instant messaging software! "
"Of course. NetEase's Bubble and other companies' chat software are not as good as ours. Also, my target is not just China. In the future, I want Tencent to go overseas and become the world's biggest instant messaging software! "
Feng Yu raised his brows. Ambitious. But QQ is still far from MSN. Even if QQ has 400 million registered users, it only has 30 million active users, and it is only focused on the Chinese market.
The active users of MSN had exceeded 100 million, and there was a giant behind it, called ICQ, which was the company that QQ imitated.
The biggest advantage of these two software is that they are based on English and are suitable for many countries. As for QQ, it is still only in Mandarin.
ICQ had been replaced by QQ in Hua Xia, but MSN did not enter Hua Xia. Because of Microsoft's promotion and bundling sales, MSN's user growth rate is still very fast.
MSN has a wider user coverage, and it is harder to surpass it. But in Feng Yu's previous life, MSN was eventually replaced by Microsoft's own software, Skype. When Microsoft was about to be overtaken by Skype, they directly acquired the software's development company. This is Microsoft's usual practice.
If you have more potential than me, then I will buy it and make it mine.
When MSN dominates other markets, how can it give up the huge Hua Xia market? In Feng Yu's previous life, MSN was also used by Feng Yu. At first, it was favored by business people because of its concise page and more secure information protection. It became a necessary social tool for white-collar workers.
After all, at that time, QQ had already experienced a lot of hacking. In terms of protection, QQ was indeed not as good as MSN.
But later, MSN became worse and worse, and QQ became better and better. Only then did it suppress MSN again. However, in Feng Yu's previous life, MSN also fought with QQ to the end. After MSN was closed abroad, Hua Xia still persisted for a year.
At its peak, MSN controlled more than 60% of the world's market share. In other countries, there are instant messaging software similar to QQ, but they were all suppressed by MSN.
Now, MSN has not entered Hua Xia. Ma Huateng is full of confidence. When MSN starts to exert its strength, Ma Huateng will know that it is not good to underestimate the opponent too much.
After all, MSN also has a huge user base of Microsoft. Even in the world, Microsoft can be called the system software with the largest number of users.
"Manager Ma, you can dream big, but you must also consider the possible competition. Although ICQ was defeated, the world's number one instant messaging software is MSN. I heard that this software has plans to enter the Hua Xia market. "Feng Yu reminded.
"I know, but they are based on English. Our Tencent Group understands Chinese better and understands the habits of Hua Xia users better. We know what they like better. In fact, I also have plans to make a Pinyin input method. Now, other than Wubi, there are no good Chinese input methods. Wubi requires people to memorize the root of the characters. Pinyin input method is more advantageous. "
Feng Yu is speechless. This Ma Huateng wants to make more things than him. But thinking about his previous life, there is indeed a Pinyin input method called QQ. It is the same as Sohu's Pinyin input method, Baidu's Pinyin input method, and Microsoft's Pinyin input method. It is more popular among users, but it seems that Sohu's Pinyin input method has more users.
"Manager Ma, you will need a lot of technicians." Feng Yu reminded Ma Huateng not to bite off more than he can chew.
"Don't worry. I had thought about this. Currently, we are at the forefront of the IT industry when it comes to recruiting technicians. We had also recruited a lot of overseas students and engineers. Of course, our expenditure is high. "
Feng Yu nodded. "Don't mistreat our technicians. Don't forget that Baidu, NetEase, etc. are also recruiting these technicians. Also, many of them are recruited by smaller startups. If you want to be a leader in the Internet technology industry, you must maintain a leading edge in technology. "
After chatting for a while, Ma Huateng left. He told Feng Yu that he has to attend a class gathering tonight, and he should not be late.
Speaking of class gathering, Feng Yu remembered that he had not met his university classmates for a long time.
