"Boss Chen, you're too biased."
"Biased? What's going on?"
"As for Xie Zhang … President Chen, you've given Xie Zhang a huge cheat. Now, it's like we're fighting each other. "
"What's wrong with fighting each other? Maybe MSN and ICQ will die while you're fighting."
While exploring the explosive potential that Precise Positioning would bring to their user registrations, Li Nan, who was feeling pressured, gave Chen Yu a call.
As for the purpose …
It was very simple.
The crying child would get milk.
"Boss Chen, how can there be such a good thing? I just want you to give us more pointers and give us a small hack."
"What hack do you still want? I believe in your ability."
"I need it too much. With someone like you, I'm so scared. "
Li Nan was not afraid of anything, but she was truly afraid of Chen Yu.
In his eyes, the king of the Internet was Chen Yu.
Even if he did nothing and just gave you some pointers, he would be like a GM in a game, changing the world's data.
Just like Xie Zhang's probe.
Previously, there were only one million registered users. In just one month, there were 50 million registered users.
If this was not changing the data, then what was?
This was even more terrifying than changing the data.
At this speed, even Li Nan felt immense pressure.
If Xie Zhang's probe surpassed his, then it would be a slap in the face.
How could Chen Yu not know what Li Nan was thinking? He smiled and said, "Li Nan, what are you worried about? Although there's a wave of explosion, their positioning is to make friends with strangers. They can see great results in the short term, but overall, it's still not as good as WeChat. The trend of instant messaging is to socialize with acquaintances. It's impossible for everyone to go and find beauties. "
"That's true, but who knows if Xie Zhang will change to socializing with acquaintances in the future."
"Hehe, you're right."
Although the probe was a niche, no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.
Since it was a racing mechanism …
If Xie Zhang really entered the social circle in the future and even surpassed Li Nan, Chen Yu could not protect WeChat.
However, now was not the time for them to fight.
MSN and ICQ were WeChat's strongest competitors.
WeChat had yet to become the most mainstream form of instant messaging. Chen Yu had to push WeChat out first.
After thinking about it, Chen Yu said, "Alright, I'll give you an idea."
"I knew Boss Chen wouldn't abandon me."
"Save it."
Chen Yu was not interested in Li Nan's flattery. He said, "Li Nan, you can actually refer to the plan on Weibo."
"Weibo?"
"Boss Chen, are you talking about giving the user the Discovery Gold directly?"
Although Li Nan wasn't in charge of the Weibo business, how could she not know about it?
Not long ago, the plan that had the most momentum was a 500 million USD spending campaign on Weibo.
This event could be said to have completely turned Weibo into the most watched media platform in the world.
At the same time, it allowed Huanyu Technologies to control the direction of global public opinion.
Even if they didn't completely control public opinion, at least a series of negative public opinion against Huanyu Technologies could be eliminated without a trace.
For example, there were some signs of anti- Huanyu Technologies in some places.
Before these signs could grow, Huanyu Technologies used its own channels of public opinion to directly eliminate them.
This also made it impossible for such public opinion to enter the mainstream, and it was impossible for people with ulterior motives to change the tempo of the discussion.
"Yes, directly give the user the Cash."
Some niche software could naturally be pushed out through innovation, operation, and other methods.
However, for the general public, there were only two ways to popularize various types of applications to all users.
One was to rely on a long period of time to defeat the opponent one by one.
This period of time could be three years, five years, ten years, or twenty years.
However, Huanyu Technologies couldn't wait for such a long period of time.
Huanyu Technologies was no longer a new company.
Since it couldn't wait, there was another way.
That was to throw money at it.
As long as the money was in place, the software could be pushed out.
If it still couldn't be pushed out, then it meant that the money was not enough.
In the past, Huanyu Technologies used time to exchange for space.
Now, Huanyu Technologies used money to exchange for time.
Problems that could be solved with money were not problems.
If they could use money to take over the market, why would they think of more complicated and troublesome plans?
Chen Yu had always liked to be simple and straightforward.
When he first started playing online games, Chen Yu's strategy was like this. The strategy now was the same.
"Boss Chen, are we going to throw in 500 million USD too?"
Li Nan was previously in charge of the YY business.
Although the YY business was the business that Huanyu Technologies valued the most in China.
But to be honest …
The business in China had been smooth sailing. Although there were some instant messaging challenges, they were easily solved by Huanyu Technologies.
Most of the time, Li Nan didn't need to throw in much money at all.
Now that they were overseas, when they thought about Weibo throwing in 500 million USD, even Li Nan was shocked.
500 million USD, that was 4 billion RMB. Wouldn't it be too willful to throw in so much money?
"No, 500 million USD isn't enough this time. I think we can throw in 1 billion USD."
"1 billion USD, oh my god …"
Li Nan couldn't stop clicking his tongue. "Boss Chen, that's too much."
"Is it?"
Chen Yu touched his chin. "It's a little too much, but if 1 billion USD can get us 1 billion users, will you throw in?"
"Of course."
If 1 billion USD could get them 1 billion users, that was 1 USD per user.
Although this conversion rate wasn't the highest, it was already quite good.
It was a little too much, but overall, it was still worth it.
However, Li Nan was still a little worried. "What if 1 billion USD can't get them 1 billion users?"
"Then we'll throw in another 1 billion."
"Pfft …"
Li Nan was shocked speechless by Chen Yu's generosity in spending money.
However, when he thought about Chen Yu's wealth, he probably didn't care about 1 billion USD or 2 billion USD.
As long as he could get the market back, it was worth it no matter how much money he threw in.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that throwing in 1 billion USD was a very normal thing to do.
…
"Bill, I have bad news for you."
"Go ahead."
"We can't hold on to MSN anymore."
Microsoft Headquarters.
CEO Steve reported to Bill.
Although MSN wasn't completely overtaken by WeChat, Steve felt extremely uncomfortable as WeChat took away the market bit by bit.
More importantly, he didn't have much of a solution.
"Huanyu Technologies is in the instant messaging business. It's normal that we can't compete with them for the time being."
Bill shook his head. He was also helpless.
He had known Chen Yu for a long time. In the instant messaging competition, Microsoft had already competed with Huanyu Technologies in the China market.
Unfortunately, in the China market, MSN died quite miserably.
However, he didn't expect …
Chen Yu not only pushed MSN out of the China market, but now Huanyu Technologies came back to the North American market.
Were they going to take away the North American market that originally belonged to them?
"Bill, do you have any ideas?"
"Let me think."
Bill no longer held any position in Microsoft. He only retained the position of chairman.
Although he was once famous for monopolizing the global PC market with Windows.
But after so many years, he didn't really care about this, let alone the new mobile internet market.
However …
Although Bill didn't really care about the specific matters, he still had a strong vision and courage.
After a while, Bill said, "The person in charge of MSN, Weisseff, is actually quite capable. There's no need to criticize him too much. The reason why we've been lagging behind recently, in addition to our concept of mobile internet being weaker than our competitors, is mainly because of the problem of funding. Steve, how about this, give MSN a 100 million USD fund and let Joseph be bolder. "
"100 million USD?"
Steve was a little surprised.
"Yes."
"What's the 100 million USD for?"
"Operations for MSN."
"In terms of operations, 100 million USD …"
Steve didn't know what to say.
But Bill seemed to have misunderstood Steve and said, "Although 100 million USD is a little too much, it also shows Joseph that MSN is not a peripheral business of Microsoft. Our headquarters will always support them."
"This …"
Steve's face was a little pale.
"Steve, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
"You don't look well, are you sick?"
"No."
Steve shook his head.
Then, he opened his email. The email was secretly obtained business intelligence. "Old classmate, I received a secret report. Huanyu Technologies approved a 1 billion USD plan."
"1 billion USD, so much?"
Bill was shocked. "Where is it for?"
"WeChat."
"What's the specific plan?"
"Just like you said, it's for instant messaging operations."
"Uh …"
At this moment, Bill was almost like a PC, and his computer almost stopped working.
