“From zero to tens of millions of users in just 22.5 hours”

"A miracle! WeChat technology emerged, with 1100 million registered users in one day."

“It’s not too long before WeChat technology replaces Tenda QQ!”

“WeChat Technology: The Rising Star of Tomorrow!”

It seemed as if within one day, the dominant position in the Internet industry's instant messaging field changed hands.

Faced with the flattery from various media outlets and the sour blessings from friendly competitors, even the top executives couldn't help but imagine the future.

Li Zehua couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "People outside can't see the situation clearly, and you don't understand it either?
This time, the group mobilized almost all of its resources and half of its Internet competitors to take action together. It also took advantage of the entanglement between Tenda and 361 to gain a golden opportunity to bully the weak and lose consumer support.

After investing in various preferential policies at no cost, we were able to barely get the number of registered users to 1100 million, of which the number of real users whose ID cards had been actually verified barely exceeded 300 million.

If we exclude users who may be used to make up the number, such as those under 18 and over 45 years old, there are actually less than 200 million users.

With just this little achievement, you still have the nerve to be happy?"

As for registered users, this thing may be good for deceiving ordinary people who are unaware of the situation, but in the eyes of venture capitalists and professionals, they generally only look at two core data: the number of active online users and the retention rate.

Thanks to various resource additions, WeChat Technology received strong support from many friendly companies as soon as it went online (in exchange for contracts and resources), creating the so-called new miracle.

In fact, Wu Yibin and Wang Fei worked overtime in the middle of the night, and the information data summary they produced showed that 80% of users stayed for less than five minutes, and basically they just ran away after receiving the coupons.

The remaining 20% ​​may be real users, but most of them do not communicate through WeChat technology. Instead, they are busy binding their ID cards, redeeming coupons, and completing the registration for the One Card.

Among the more than 200 million valid registrations and logins, less than 50 tried to add real friends (with accounts verified by ID cards), and only more than 6 posted on WeChat Moments.

After all, the new product has just been launched on the market and has not yet been widely accepted by consumers, which is understandable.

Within one day, more than 20 new customers placed orders, and micropayment added more than 30 registered card-binding customers in one go, making the directors and investors of major branches smile from ear to ear.

"Happy, why not?"

Wu Yibin was not the one who laughed the happiest, but Xiao Chengdong was, "Boss, I finally understand the commercial value of the phenomenal instant messaging software you mentioned.

The QingCloud ecosystem is even more powerful with WeChat technology!
In just one day, with such a small user base, Weifuli added hundreds of thousands of active customers at once, even if each of them had to pay the minimum discount of 3 yuan.

That’s a good deal. Normally, even if you pay 10 yuan to Baidu, you may not be able to buy a registered user.”

"That is, yesterday, most of the stores nationwide that participated in the 9 yuan all-you-can-eat and 9 yuan all-you-can-eat promotions saw their sales increase by more than 0.1% compared to usual, especially some special categories such as seafood and specialty restaurants.

I was busy until the early morning before I could rest. "

Qin Lang was almost shocked by the sudden improvement in performance and said with a silly grin, "We must continue to spend money. When we saw the preliminary data last night, the board of directors almost went crazy.

The new users may not all be office workers who have no time to cook, but as long as they have tried using Chizumai, takeout will become a supplement to their daily meals.

The convenience of home delivery, plus the Internet convenient payment promotion year event mentioned by Lao Xiao in the next year, with special discounts from time to time, I believe the spring of the food delivery industry is coming soon. "

"Almost. However, your performance growth mainly relies on the development of smartphone business and Internet software industry. WeChat technology and micro-payment can only provide auxiliary services."

Li Zehua briefly talked about fragmented time management and the changes in consumers' consumption habits. If a person is idle as a whole and does not have enough spiritual and entertainment activities to pass the time.

Naturally, he is unlikely to choose takeout because his time is not valuable.

Improve the market environment so that more people can make full use of their time, make limited time valuable, enrich everyone's inner brain, and free up time to cook.

It is the most convenient way to open consumers' wallets.

This trick is especially effective for adult men with purchasing power. A man may not buy clothes online often, but as long as he does not live with his family.

Ordering takeout is a must. It’s really easy to spend thirty to fifty dollars on three meals a day.

“Therefore, cooperation with small game and small program companies should be prioritized. Cooperation with large companies is not so urgent. We have to take advantage of it before Tenda reacts.

We will send invitations to all game companies around the world as quickly as possible. As long as they can develop supporting internal mini-programs for WeChat Technology, they will be free of charge for the first three months.

During this period, Qingyun Group promised that as long as the company's products are good enough and are willing to connect to the Qingyun Card, it will be allowed to be the priority payer through micropayment.

Special traffic support will be provided to all, and companies are even willing to pay to provide them with third-party Internet traffic promotion! "

Li Zehua doesn't care about spending money as long as it is meaningful.

Isn’t Tenda’s main strategy to eat more, occupy more, and have it all to itself?
Well, WeChat Technology will do the opposite, being inclusive and open, welcoming everyone, and conquering the Internet before Tony Ma can react, just to make Qingyun Card the mainstream of the market.

When it becomes an industry standard accepted by thousands of Internet companies and can be logged in uniformly through WeChat and micropayment platforms, the trend is set!

"From now on, the promotion department will be fully mobilized to spread out to schools and cooperating restaurants to promote the QR code for micropayment.

The first batch of shared bicycles produced were immediately put into use in schools in two areas of Yanjing and Modou. The goal of putting 100,000 bicycles into use must be achieved before the winter vacation.

Lao Lin, you have to hold on to the shares of Minsheng Group. I want to use the outlets and depositor data of the Minsheng Group to support small and medium-sized enterprises and complete the Internet finance coverage task..."

With every word he said, a company leader came forward to perfect the plan.

"Mr. Sun, Pinxixi's e-commerce mission is the most important. The first batch of Roewe phones has rolled off the production line and is on its way to various stores. On November 11, I will launch online sales nationwide.

Pinxixi’s experience store promotions have already had after-sales service specialists recruited in place. You can arrange the training time by yourselves. In short, the promotion in rural areas must not be delayed.

We have made a good start on the computer side, and we must not relax on the mobile side. In addition, you, Mr. Gu, will be responsible for asking agricultural companies to poach Tengda's technicians. Double or triple their wages will not be a problem.

Anyway, please recruit him for me. As long as he has real skills, the group will not hesitate to invest a few hundred million more."

……

“Damn it, from now on, we will stop all business dealings with Qingyun Group, and prohibit the sharing of Qingyun advertising links in QQ groups and anywhere else…

Tell all friendly companies that anyone who cooperates with Qingyun will be put on the group’s blacklist and any form of cooperation will be rejected in the future.”

Tony Ma went completely crazy. "You are playing dirty, right? Contact Qiandu and Ali. I want to talk to Li Yanhong and Jack Ma in person."

Liu Zhiping was also mad, but he still had his sanity. "Mr. Li from Baidu has contacted us several times. They just signed a supplementary agreement with Qingyun for 2010 and an advertisement worth 2011 billion for 40.

I’m afraid they will not agree to cooperate with the company.”

"Then go find Qiantang Jack Ma. Qingyun's food delivery e-commerce is about to trample him underfoot. I don't believe he can bear it."

Qingyun's move was really disgusting and posed a huge threat to Tenda. No one expected that the overlord of the instant messaging field and the giant of the antivirus software industry would go to war.

A third-party company will suddenly appear and steal the house, or take advantage of the critical moment when people across the country are condemning Tenda. Public opinion now favors Qingyun 361, and it is almost like pointing fingers at the nose.

You deserve to curse Tengda!
Consumers are busy scrambling for the benefits offered by Qingyun Group, giving each other one download miracle after another.

What does 1100 million a day mean?
Theoretically, Tenda has 6 million users in total. If it continues to grow at this rate, in less than two months, will WeChat Technology grow to be comparable to Tenda? Jack Ma was also shocked. When the three-dunk battle came to the most critical moment, he actually had the idea of ​​throwing Ali Wangwang out and taking the opportunity to grab Tenda's market share.

But he was persuaded by his subordinates.

“We don’t have money, Mr. Ma. Even if the company can succeed in the sneak attack, how much money will it need to spend in the future to stand firm under Tengda’s crazy revenge?
How much money will it cost to develop a large enough user base under Tenda's nose?
The instant messaging field is different from other industries. There is no win-win cooperation here, not to mention that there are niche areas for survival. There will not be a pattern similar to Taotao, Pinxixi and JD.com.

It is a winner-takes-all industry, and Tengda has a market capitalization of 6 million. Any company that attempts to compete with Tengda in this field must be prepared to lose all its money.”

After weighing the pros and cons, Jack Ma decisively listened to the advice. He was very familiar with that old rival. Don’t be fooled by his gentle appearance and glasses. If you really touch his bottom line, he will be killed.

As expected, Qingyun's actions made the honest man anxious, and the opportunity for Tengda and Ali to cooperate for the first time throughout the year appeared.

"Jack, let's not talk about the past grudges. You know the current situation well. If Qingyun succeeds, it will be like a complete Tengda plus Qingyun against Ahri."

Tony Ma didn't have to be so anxious, but the latest data today still made him very excited.

If yesterday's 1100 million was shocking, then today's 710 million downloads in just the first twelve hours completely tells everyone that WeChat Technology is not kidding.

It has shown great potential, mature products and even optimized every detail, plus big data centers are being built simultaneously in Yibin, Jiangcheng and Guizhou Province.

Some of them have already been put into use. In terms of server information storage and analysis, QingCloud is ahead of Tenda, and it has a large technical team.

With the presence of 361, the top domestic Internet security company, any attempt to interfere and influence through external means will be ineffective. As for sending Uncle Hat across the province to Shanghai to arrest Li Zehua?
Isn't that a huge joke?
These past few days, everyone in Shanghai has been wishing that all media, newspaper and magazine pages would be replaced with information about Qingyun WeChat Technology.

Tony Ma was at the top and mobilized the power of Teochew porridge to lobby for policy, but his attempt to restrict Qingyun did not work.

At the lower level, they have offended almost all Internet small and medium-sized enterprises and consumers, even if they use huge discounts to recharge, rebate and deduct coins, and give away QQ shows and hot money props.

It is also impossible to compare with Qingyun Group in terms of real money to buy off consumers.

Investors were also going crazy. Before the three-dunk battle started, Tengda's market value was HK$3100-3200 billion. After the two choices were announced, its market value plummeted by HK$150 billion.

With another blow from WeChat Technology, the price has now fallen to between HK$2800 billion and HK$2900 billion. If Li Bancheng had not come out to publicly support it, a large number of Hong Kong businessmen would have come out to pledge funds.

Maybe Tengda’s market value will fall to 2500 billion right now.

Li Zehua made money anyway. All the profits earned by Qingyun Investment from shorting Tengda were used by him to subsidize activities. According to this rate of decline, the short-selling profit will be more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

It can at least last for a month or two, using Tenda's money to build Tenda's business. Everyone in the Qingyun system is very happy.

Tony Ma doesn’t know this yet. If he knew, he would fly to the Magic City himself and strangle Li Zehua to death.

Unable to withstand the pressure from investors and the board of directors, he sought reconciliation with Ali for the first time. The specific terms are yet to be decided based on the development of Qingyun WeChat.

But facing a unified and powerful enemy, Jack Ma did not refuse, "How do you want to cooperate and to what extent?"

Ali is also having a hard time, not because of the emergence of Pinxixi, but because of a series of secrets that Li Zehua revealed in advance, including the dispute between Alipay and Yahoo.

By the way, Temasek was taken away in advance. It was the financial sponsor that provided a large amount of funds to Ali in history. Without it, Ali would be forced to agree to more stringent conditions from SoftBank and Goldman Sachs.

They could barely raise enough funds to redeem the shares from Yahoo, and the negotiations took up too much of Ali's energy. When the deal was finally reached, looking back, they found that the Qingyuntongda Group had already become a dominant force.

The two parties not only launched comprehensive cooperation in smart logistics warehouses and QR code cooperation, but also jointly raised more than one billion US dollars to enter the logistics industry with broader market prospects.

In other words, Ali's strategy of trying to control the express delivery industry through Cainiao Network has failed. Facing competition from Qingyun Tongda, SF Express, JD.com, and China Post, it will be difficult for Ali to cultivate another one.

Zhou Shaoning of EMI is completely useless. He takes money from two giants, Hon Hai and Ali, but he doesn't know what he is doing. He can only barely get some Taobao orders, and the complaint rate is alarming.

Jack Ma is out of options for the time being. He doesn’t even know how to restrict Qingyun’s continued development. Now that his old rival Tony Ma has come to him, he has no reason to refuse.

How wonderful it would be if Tenda’s traffic was only available to Ali?
"I can't reach that level for now. Qingyun is not qualified to be the bridge for a complete reconciliation between our two families. Let's reach a settlement on the minor business for now.

For example, Tenda's Tenpay wants to become a payment channel for Ali's products. In response, Tenda's gaming business can also be opened to payment insurance.

At the same time, you can give some of the link sharing permissions of Tenda QQ to Ali, but you have to stop Sina and not allow Weibo to continue to be the main battlefield for the other party to spread propaganda and public opinion. "

Tony Ma said a lot in one breath, and Jack Ma listened carefully, thinking that you have come to this day. You have relied on your traffic to create obstacles for Ali's development. Now he is so happy.

But he said: "There is no problem with the equal opening of payment channels. Currently, the number of active users of micropayment is close to that of Alipay, and it has far surpassed Tenpay.

But Sina, you may need to make more concessions and show more sincerity.”

Tony Ma said unhappily: “Are these conditions not enough?”

"It's far from enough. If you can give Tenda Weibo in return, such as allowing Sina Weibo and Tenda Weibo to merge, I believe Mr. Wang can ban WeChat on Weibo right now."

How could Jack Ma miss this opportunity? He made a big move, "Your Tengda Weibo is half dead. You've spent so much money but it's still not improving. You might as well exchange it for some Sina shares."

"Impossible. Weibo is an integral part of Tenda's strategy."

Tony Ma couldn't bear to sell Weibo right away. Although it didn't take off, it was exchanged for Sina shares, but they were only a few points and had no effect at all.

"Then let's talk about the conditions that can be negotiated first..."

Jack Ma is not in a hurry because he knows that Qingyun has been preparing for so long and definitely has more than just this means. As long as WeChat's share on the computer side increases, Tenda will not be able to hold back sooner or later.

"Let's find an opportunity to meet and talk."

"Sure, I have some good tea here, and I'm waiting for you to come anytime."

……

Tengda’s ban on the industry has a wide range of impact.

Even a large company like Qingyun Group has to be cautious.

As soon as he received the news, Li Zehua called the core members of the legal group together and said, "Let's take action. There's nothing to say. Let's file a lawsuit nationwide."

Authoritative legal experts, led by Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Tsinghua University, and China University of Political Science and Law, were all gearing up for the event and were all smiling happily.

In order to prevent a sudden fallout with Tengda, the legal team came up with dozens of plans. The boss started with a full-scale lawsuit involving the advertising cooperation between the two companies worth over 1 billion yuan.

If a fight breaks out, it will definitely be earth-shattering. The lawyer fees alone will be hundreds of millions. The key is that it can also make you famous. Who wouldn't be happy?

"Nanshan Nursing Home, Beihai Kindergarten, I want to see which one is better."

Li Zehua was not lenient at all, because Tengda's greatest help to Qingyun was limited to traffic. He stabilized Qiandu in advance to prepare for now.

But what he didn't expect was that the two Ma brothers, who had been enemies throughout history, would reach a historic reconciliation because of the Qingyun Group.

Tengda Group and Ali Group, work together to deal with Qingyun? (End of this chapter)
