Inside Tencent's headquarters, heads of almost all departments and branches are here. They gather in a large conference room. Some are looking through the materials in front of them, while others are looking at the people sitting in the meeting room. Ma Huateng was above the conference room. There was no other sound in the entire conference room except for the occasional rustling. "You must know the reason for calling everyone here this time. The new version of Waiwai launched by Shinhwa Group this time has nearly 20 million users, and these are very active users. Although our QQ registered users It has exceeded one billion, but the number of real active users is only 400 million, which is only 20 times that of the new version of Waiwai. Please speak freely and contribute to the company," Ma Huateng said. Tencent President Liu Chiping continued: "In the past, Waiwai only focused on voice communications. Now after being acquired by Shinhwa Group, they immediately launched an instant messaging software that has functions similar to QQ and retains the original Waiwai. They want to compete with us for instant messaging." The market in this field has become clear. If we cannot take countermeasures in time, it is very likely that many users will be pushed to the Shinhwa Group, so Mr. Ma and I want everyone to use their brains. " Ma Huateng is here. I scanned around the conference room and saw that most people had disdainful expressions. I knew that they did not regard Waiwai as an opponent at all. MSN, the giant in the field of instant messaging before, was not in China. Fallen into the sand. Ma Huateng didn¡¯t say anything. He had a feeling of worry in his heart. He felt that the Joyful Era, which was acquired by Shinhwa Group, would become Tencent¡¯s strong rival sooner or later. However, it seems that most employees in his company don¡¯t care much about Waiwai. Ma Huateng, who has been able to grow QQ step by step to the current monopoly position in China, has a great sense of crisis. It is this sense of crisis that has allowed him to lead Tencent to become a super giant company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars. Xu Chenye, chief information officer of Tencent and one of the five original shareholders of Tencent, smiled and said: "Mr. Ma and Mr. Liu, I think the new version of Waiwai does not pose any threat to our QQ at present, although Waiwai is launching a new version. After the version, the user base has grown very fast during this period, but most of these users are game players of Shinhwa Group. Waiwai is almost saturated if it has 20 million users. In the future, the user growth rate will be It has become very slow. According to the data I have obtained, the number of people who specifically downloaded Waiwai in order to experience chatting is very small, so there is no need for you to be too nervous. At least in the next five years, Waiwai will not have any They have the strength to fight against us." Xu Chenye's words made many people here couldn't help but nod. They all thought the same way. You must know that users on the Internet are sticky, unless your software is really bad. , otherwise users generally will not change software casually. QQ has dominated China's instant messaging field for many years, and has already made Chinese people develop the habit of using QQ for everything. When talking about online chat, QQ will be the first thing that comes to mind. There are even many people who don't even know that China has several instant messaging software. In the past, when Tencent was not yet big, Sina launched Sina UC, a chat software, which later became synonymous with history. Tencent Vice President Peng Jiaxin said: ¡°Although Waiwai cannot make any waves, once the new version of Waiwai is launched, our UT Voice share will drop rapidly. If we don¡¯t take some measures in time, then we are very likely to It may lose its market share in voice communications." Ma Huateng frowned and said, "Then what can you do to help UT regain the lost market and even seize more markets?" Ma Xiaoyi, vice president of Tencent Games, said, "I will. Personally, I think it will be difficult for UT to make a difference if it cannot be in games. In the past, because our Tencent Games occupied a certain market share in China, our UT could expand along with our games. However, since the emergence of Shinhwa Group, they have been everywhere. To seize our game market, it seems that we have basically lost our share of MMORPG games. At present, we mainly rely on casual competitive games to support our appearance, so I suggest here that we give up the MMORPG game market and only use very classic games. Consider being an agent, focusing on mobile games and casual competitive games, and encouraging the use of UT in the game, and giving certain rewards to players. "Tencent President Liu Chiping looked at Ren Yuxin and asked: "Mr. Ren, this is what your game department is like. "Is that planned?" Ren Yuxin nodded and said, "That's true. In the field of MMORPG, we really can't compete with Shinhwa Group." Liu Chiping thought for a while and said, "Since the game department has this plan, then you can do it, but it is already an agent. It¡¯s better to continue operating the RPG game, unless the vast majority of players have given up on it before considering closing the server.¡± Ma Huateng looked helpless, knocked on the table and said:"We are here to discuss how to deal with the new version of Waiwai under the Shinhwa Group. We are not here to discuss matters in the game department. If the game department has anything to report, we will discuss it with the Investment Promotion Bureau." Everyone stopped saying anything and looked at Ma Huateng, even a few days ago when the new version of Waiwai saw the fastest growth in users, QQ and WeChat users basically had no fluctuations. It can be seen that Waiwai has not yet impacted the strength of QQ. Ma Huateng took a breath and said: "Perhaps everyone is still far from being able to confront us, but everything must be prepared. We cannot take any opponent lightly, let alone a chat that already has 20 million users. Software." Hearing Ma Huateng's insistence, everyone in the conference room began to make suggestions. Anyway, they had encountered this kind of thing many times, and they were familiar with it. After some discussion, Tencent's top management finally came up with measures. They could not deal with Waiwai openly, otherwise there was no guarantee that Shinhwa Group would not sue them for monopoly. It is said that the chairman of Shinhwa Group also has someone above them, in case they were really sued. If the lawsuit wins, Tencent will be miserable. The plan they came up with is that QQ will undergo another major upgrade in the near future, removing some unnecessary functions, making the bloated QQ lose weight, and once again beautifying the interface and user experience. Free users will receive more benefits, allowing Waiwai has completely become a voice communication software.
