In the field of Internet instant messaging, the advantages of the pioneers are too great, to the extent that the latecomers are completely unable to challenge.
Because the cost of user relationship transfer is too high, under normal circumstances, users will not change their instant messaging software unless they are forced to.
But everything that happened today seemed to break this rule.
"No, it's far from being successful. WeChat still has a long way to go." Yu Wenfei smiled and shook his head.
"We reached [-] million users in just one day, isn't that called success?" Li Xin said with his eyes widened in disbelief.
"You don't understand the difference between downloads and activity, do you?" Yu Wenfei said lightly.
Li Xin scratched his head embarrassingly and smiled. He naturally knew that downloading belonged to downloading, and using it belonged to using. He was just a little too excited.
In his opinion, with [-] million downloads and the excellent quality of WeChat itself, Li Xin is sure to retain users.
Therefore, with the 6000 million downloads, there should be at least [-] million active users...
Isn't that a success?
Yu Wenfei seemed to see his doubts, and patiently explained to him: "Don't be blinded by today's results, you must know that there are so many downloads today, it is caused by many factors. For example, Facebook Facebook game Bonuses, such as my fan sentiment bonus and so on.
However, after today, the number of WeChat downloads will inevitably decrease a lot, because the current number of domestic Internet users is only about [-] million, and the number of computers is less than [-] million.
Coupled with the characteristics of our WeChat, it is destined that some people will choose to continue using QQ instead of our WeChat.
For a long period of time to come, WeChat and QQ will be in a stalemate, splitting the market equally!Our user groups are working people, white-collar workers in the workplace, and some college and middle school students.The users of QQ are the young and low-educated groups. "
Yu Wenfei was very sober. He knew that no matter how bad the first day's results on WeChat were, it would be impossible to kill all competitors at once.
There has never been any product that can monopolize all the market, let alone QQ already has a fairly solid foundation.
The design style of WeChat is completely different from that of QQ.
On the PC side, WeChat will not make great efforts, and it is enough to be able to share the same share with QQ.Because WeChat is biased towards the mobile terminal from the low-level design logic of the product, but the era of the mobile terminal has not yet arrived.
The function of WeChat is very "restraint"!
All non-essential functions, optional or unnecessary, are all unnecessary.
And the function design of QQ is very "greedy", add all the functions that can be added!
As far as the design of a QQ hierarchy system is concerned, it shows that QQ wants to "kill" all the time of users, while WeChat cancels the hierarchy system for the purpose of "liberating" users' time.
Although the core functions of these two products seem to be exactly the same, the design concept can be said to be different from each other.
In the end which product is more liked by users, it will be really unclear for a while, and the answer may not come until the advent of the mobile Internet era.
…………
On September [-]st, the achievements of WeChat, Facebook Music, and Facebook Video were quickly known to the major shareholders of the Facebook family.
Xue Chunhe immediately reported the amazing achievements of WeChat to the headquarters. It stands to reason that WeChat has nothing to do with Softbank, because the WeChat project has always been under the banner of Star Technology, and Star Technology, so far, is owned by Yuwen Fly sole proprietorship holding.
Facebook music and Facebook videos are the projects that Softbank should pay attention to.
But WeChat's "[-] million a day" is too shocking. Even if Softbank invested in half of the Internet industry in the world, it has never seen such a result.
In the report, Xue Chunhe basically spent all his time on the introduction of WeChat. As for Facebook music and Facebook videos, they just skipped it.
In the end, Xue Chunhe made a summary of WeChat with extremely admirable words.
"WeChat will quickly grow into the leader of China's Internet instant messaging industry! It may even go out of the mainland and go to the world. Yu Wenfei's understanding of the Internet is beyond everyone's imagination. What's more exaggerated is that his marketing methods are simply unimaginable .
Mr. Sun, can you imagine that the launch of WeChat, just a banner promotion on Facebook, plus a song by Yu Wenfei, has achieved an effect that no other company can achieve with an investment of [-] million US dollars!I can say without hesitation that in any industry that Yu Wenfei wants to enter, no one or any company is qualified to be his opponent, let alone defeat him!
QQ is not the opponent of WeChat, nor is MSN, nor is ICQ!Because behind WeChat stands Yu Wenfei! "
For his junior, Xue Chunhe simply admired him beyond measure.
Of course, all of this comes from Yu Wenfei's string of successes.
After listening to Xue Chunhe's report, Sun Zhengyi was silent for a long time, until Xue Chunhe suspected that the phone had been hung up, he said: "Send a copy of the specific data of WeChat, and Facebook music and Facebook The data of the video is also required."
Xue Chunhe is the executive director of Facebook and the representative of major shareholders. Of course, he has relevant data at hand, and immediately sent the data to the headquarters via encrypted email.
The next day, he received a notification from Assistant Sun Zhengyi that Mr. Sun was coming to Shanghai again, and asked him to make an appointment with Yu Wenfei!
………………
"Mr. Sun is coming over? Didn't he just come here a while ago?" Yu Wenfei looked at his senior brother Xue Chunhe in surprise.
"Haha, this is to celebrate you. The launch of WeChat can be said to have caused a sensation in the global Internet industry. You may not know that foreign Internet companies are now researching your Facebook family. I don't know how many big capitals are ready to move. I'm here to give you money." Xue Chunhe said with a big smile.
"But now the Facebook company is not short of money, and Facebook is preparing to go public, why should we dilute the shares in the hands of our old shareholders." Yu Wenfei spread his hands and smiled.
On this point, Xue Chunhe must be on the same front as him, so he immediately agreed: "Boss Fei is right! Don't say that you are not short of money, even if you are short of money, can't we old shareholders still pay for it?" Why? Why introduce new shareholders.”
The topic turned back to the listing of Facebook. During this period of time, the newly invested Citibank took the lead, and Facebook began the tedious preparations for the listing.
Naturally, Citigroup was also given the qualification as a listed underwriter, which was one of the additional conditions when they bought shares.
Citigroup is of course familiar with this, and all preparations are in progress in an orderly manner. According to the plan, it will be listed smoothly around the Spring Festival.
Facebook will also be the first listed company in the Facebook family.
After the last time Citi was introduced, Facebook's shareholding structure has changed again.
The company's total share capital now totals 1000 million shares.
Yuwenfei is still the largest shareholder, holding 6000 million shares.
Modu International Trust and Investment Company is the second largest shareholder, holding 900 million shares.
Citibank became the third largest shareholder, holding 1000 million shares.
Softbank Capital retreated to fourth place, holding 900 million shares.
Cai Congxin and Jiaotong University Venture Capital tied for fifth place, each with 100 million shares.
In addition, 1000 million employee incentive shares have been set aside, and the control of this part is also in the hands of Yuwen.
According to Facebook’s shareholding structure, Yuwenfei’s shares are all Class B shares, each with ten voting rights.
All the remaining shareholders hold Class A ordinary shares, and each share has only one voting right.
This is also Yu Wenfei's preparation in advance to prevent himself from losing control of the company after the dilution of shares in the future.The shareholding structure of Facebook Games is also the same.
Of course, at present, Yu Wenfei is still the largest controlling shareholder of all Facebook companies, and no shareholder can shake his position.
