"TT was created by the original founding team of Penguin?"
In the office, Chen Yu called Li Nan and Zhang Jianming over.
"Yes."
Li Nan nodded.
"Why didn't we notice it before?"
"The legal person of the company was not the original team of Penguin, but an unfamiliar name. Recently, they changed the legal name of the company and used the name of Penguin again."
"Well, let me take a look."
Chen Yu downloaded TT on the computer.
Chen Yu had heard of TT before. It was a newly established voice chat tool.
It was actually a defense against YY.
However, at that time, the company considered that the domestic broadband speed was not very fast, so they did not involve much in the voice chat business. Therefore, Li Nan only introduced the voice chat function, but it was not the main focus.
"Why are there so many people?"
Chen Yu was a little surprised when he went online and looked at a few channels. There were as many as thousands of people.
"TT acquired E-Voice some time ago."
"E-Voice? Didn't it get investigated?"
E-Voice could be said to be a rising star in 2003.
They mainly dealt with voice and video services.
In half a year, E-Voice had reached three million registered users, and three hundred thousand users were online at the same time.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for E-Phone to develop so quickly.
However, E-Voice was like a cheat code.
However, Chen Yu did not dare to learn this cheat code.
The reason why E-Voice developed so quickly was that it was a borderline forbidden service.
In the end, the higher-ups came to investigate and E-Voice was taken down.
However, although E-Voice was taken down, there were still potential users.
TT spent a sum of money to acquire E-Voice's database. A group of E-Voice users was introduced to TT's voice chat.
"TT also borderline forbidden service?"
Chen Yu looked around and found that the whole chat room was quite clear. There was nothing borderline forbidden.
"They are guarding against our business, mainly games and entertainment."
Li Nan said.
"Ma Huateng is a talent."
Chen Yu sighed.
He thought that after the failure of Penguin, Ma Huateng might not have anything to do with him.
He did not expect Ma Huateng to make a comeback in another way.
Moreover, it looked like they were coming with a vengeance.
"They can't just do voice and video services. They want to enter the field of instant messaging."
Although the broadband speed in 2003 wasn't as fast as later generations, it could already support voice and video services.
Of course, although they supported it, not all regions supported it.
First and second-tier cities and coastal areas had faster broadband speeds and more users.
The broadband speed in fourth and fifth-tier cities was average, and there were fewer users.
Overall, there were still not many users.
However, even if it wasn't a lot, as time went on, there would be more and more users.
"Focus on our voice and video businesses."
Chen Yu felt a sense of familiarity.
Back then, when they created YY, they also wanted to use group chat to enter the instant messaging market.
Now, Ma Huateng was using the same method he had used before.
Hehe, don't tell me you want to use the same moves I used to defeat me?
"Launch a reward mode and sign a contract with the major chat rooms to share the profits."
Almost immediately, Chen Yu thought of a strategy to deal with it.
"Also, launch a new YY voice and video version."
YY used to be a group chat. After they defeated Penguin, they officially focused on instant messaging.
Therefore, YY didn't go deep into the voice and video business.
This was Chen Yu's idea.
It wasn't that Huanyu Technologies didn't have the ability to go deep into the market, but there would be conflicts between instant messaging and voice group chat.
Voice group chat was just an entertainment product, and he wasn't the main focus.
Therefore, although Ma Huateng was using the e-platform to start all over again, Chen Yu wasn't particularly anxious.
Let's not talk about whether Ma Huateng could handle the voice and video market.
Even if he could, it was just YY from his previous life.
Of course, although Chen Yu wasn't particularly anxious, Chen Yu didn't want to see Ma Huateng threaten him in any way.
"Alibaba's Taobao, Brother Jian, what do you think?"
After dealing with YY, Chen Yu turned to Taobao.
Huanyu Technologies used to have an e-commerce business, but they were busy with games and instant messaging. They didn't focus on developing the e-commerce business. But now, it seemed that it was time to enter the e-commerce business.
"Alibaba recently received 50 million USD in financing and launched a new C2C business, Taobao. Relying on their previous B2B business, Taobao also launched a completely free model. Many individual merchants went to Taobao, and the volume of transactions increased rapidly. "
"Free … I think they'll recover the fees from other places in the future."
Of course, Taobao was free.
You could open a shop for free, and you could sell things for free.
But this was only to attract sellers.
When Taobao became bigger and stronger, they would start to take advantage of it.
"We think so too. However, free is a very good model. Boss Chen, I think we should work on the e-commerce market. "
"Yes, we should."
Chen Yu nodded.
Taobao was established first, and the C2C business was launched first.
But that didn't matter.
E-commerce still needed a long time to mature from the beginning.
"Brother Jian, immediately set up an e-commerce business department and launch a new C2C business platform. Like Taobao, we will launch a free model. Also, set up an e-commerce marketing team and let more sellers join our platform. "
E-commerce in 2003 was still in its early stages.
For the early stages of e-commerce, the first step was to attract as many sellers as possible.
Only with more and more sellers could there be a variety of e-commerce products.
Then, with the emergence of a variety of products, ordinary users would be interested in online shopping.
…
After giving instructions to Zhang Jianming and Li Nan, Chen Yu didn't stop. He called Wang Chang over.
"Wang Chang, do you have a suitable candidate for the portal?"
Li Nan was in charge of YY. However, Li Nan knew a little about instant messaging, but she was a layman when it came to portal operations. When Ma Huateng and Teacher Ma met to launch the new business, Chen Yu realized the cruelty of the market.
If he wasn't careful, his competitors could be ahead of him.
Just like the voice and video business and e-commerce business.
Under the influence of Chen Yu, 2003 was slowly changing from the 2003 in his previous life.
Although the portal business wasn't urgent, he didn't want to wait. He needed to expand his portal as much as possible.
"Shin-Lang's Chief Editor, Chen Tong. He's very experienced in building content."
"Can you recruit him?"
"I'll try."
"Don't go. Let the headhunter talk to him secretly. They're more professional than us when it comes to recruiting people."
Although the YY portal had just been launched and hadn't made any big moves.
At the same time, in terms of professionalism and IP flow, they couldn't be compared to Shin-Lang.
They couldn't even be compared to NetEase or Sohu.
However, with YY as an instant messaging tool, any portal would see Huanyu Technologies as a competitor.
If Wang Chang went personally, the success rate wouldn't be high.
"Boss Chen, Alibaba's CEO, Jack Ma, invites you to the West Lake Sword Conference."
After going through the arrangements, Chen Yu's assistant, Xia Zhu, handed the fax invitation she had just received to Chen Yu.
"Oh, who's going?"
"Other than you, Jack Ma also invited Ma Huateng, Shin-Lang's CEO, Cao Guowei, NetEase's CEO, Ding Lei, Sohu's founder, Zhang Chaoyang … He also invited Microsoft's Bill. Oh, and Mr. Jin Yong. "
"Why does it seem like they're all here to deal with me?"
Chen Yu smiled, "Reply to Jack Ma, thank you for the invitation. I'll definitely attend."
