It is undeniable that the business model of "the wool comes from the dog and the pig pays the bill" is a very subversive model. No matter from understanding to design, to implementation, this model is very "convoluted". I can't even think about it, let alone do it.
To be precise, this model is tantamount to lengthening and complicating the industrial chain. It is free for some people, but it is "cross-border robbery" for others, forming an unequal competition that makes Some enterprises died because of unequal competition.
To give the simplest example, of the three stores next to each other, two sell quilts and one sells home clothes.Two quilt sellers competed, and one of them came to sponsor, selling quilts and giving away home clothes!As a result, this store not only crushed its peer competitors, but even the home clothing store that was "watching a show" next to it...
Just like Yu Wenfei's "Huimin Computer Project" this time, he didn't intend to seize the market share of the low-end and mid-end complete machines, because he didn't care about the profits of the low-end and mid-range complete machine market at all.
The main purpose is to promote the country's informatization process, expand a higher ceiling for his Internet company, and start to deploy the mobile phone industry.
In his entire business layout, Lenovo is just a "tool", not a "protagonist" at all, and he never expects to make any money from Lenovo.
But it is obvious that after Huimin Computer goes on the market, those domestic brand complete machine manufacturers will inevitably be "killed and injured"!
This is the cross-industry "dimension reduction strike"!
Destroying you has nothing to do with you...
Business competition is so cruel. Behind the rise of every multinational giant company, there are countless "dead" "skeletons" of peer companies, accumulating like a mountain!
………………
In 2003, the business logic of "pig, dog and sheep" was obviously not widely used, and Yu Wenfei was just a small test last time.
This time, when solving the funding gap of the new Lenovo Group's Huimin Computer, he is going to use it again, and this time, the benefits he will get are obviously not as small as tens of millions...
Ordinary people may be at a loss when they face a problem, unable to figure out how to solve it, this is only the first level of realm.
When you are able to face difficulties bravely and actively solve them, you have reached the second level.
If you can think of a reasonable solution to solve the difficulty, and bring benefits to yourself by solving the problem, this is the third level.
Furthermore, when solving problems, not only bring benefits to oneself, but also bring benefits to others, and achieve a win-win or even win-win situation. This is the fourth level of realm.
But Yu Wenfei is different, he has already reached the realm of the fifth floor!
Not only can it perfectly solve difficulties, but also gain benefits for yourself and everyone through solving problems.He even went a step further, laying a solid foundation for future career development by solving problems, and he has already seen the next few years!
If you use the Internet words of later generations to describe it, it is "old mille-feuille cake"...
…………
The WeChat company has been established for so long, Yu Wenfei, as the chairman of the company, held the board meeting for the first time.
这家公司股东组成也很简单,都是老熟人了。上一次融资时微信公司估值50亿美金,总股本一亿。宇文飞独占7000万,软银资本1000万、魔都国际信托投资公司1000万、沈楠鹏900万、交大创投100万。
After the financing, WeChat also successfully returned to the Facebook family, and is now a subsidiary of Facebook Holdings.
The conference room was full of old acquaintances, Yu Wenfei sat at the head, and behind him was his secretary Peier.
On both sides of the conference table were Xue Chunhe, representative of Softbank Capital, Mr. Wang, Shen Nanpeng, director of Shanghai Jiaotong University Venture Capital, and Li Xin, the person in charge of WeChat.
But there was another person who seemed irrelevant, that was the representative of Citibank, he should not have appeared here, but Yu Wenfei specifically asked Pei Er to invite him here as well.
"Mr. Li, please introduce the recent development of WeChat." Yu Wenfei first said to Li Xin with a smile.
The rest of the conference room also raised their spirits. Wechat started off amazingly, reaching [-] million users at an unprecedented speed!
After a period of development, it should be better.
Li Xin's face was a little dignified, and he got up to report to the directors: "WeChat has been online for a while, but the growth rate of users is not as fast as expected!
After an initial surge, the number of new user additions began to slow.There is also a more serious problem, that is, the user activity is not enough!
We should have 5000 million users now, but the number of active users in three days is only about 4000 million, which is very flat and does not fluctuate much. "
Except for Yu Wenfei, everyone was a little surprised because it didn't make sense at all.
According to the momentum of WeChat at the beginning, normally speaking, it should have surpassed Tencent's QQ by now.
According to the data released by Tencent, the number of daily active users of QQ has reached [-] million!
WeChat has only 4000 million, which is one-third of the other party...
Chapter 675
Yu Wenfei was not surprised. He had already reminded Li Xin not to be fooled by the performance of WeChat when it was first launched.
Because the design concept of WeChat determines that its audience is different from that of QQ.
WeChat adopts a "minimalist style" and puts practicality first, so it will be more popular with some college students, white-collar workers, and older people.
But for middle school and high school students, WeChat is not as "bells and whistles" as QQ.
WeChat has no hierarchical system, no "sun, moon, and stars" to hang on to, and no QQ show. However, WeChat is very functional, with stable and reliable message transmission, an easy-to-use email system, and a clean interface.
Therefore, after a period of time, the user group of WeChat has gradually stabilized, and it has already been loved by some college students, and it is slowly invading MSN's territory in the workplace.
Of course, it will take time to completely replace MSN.
4000 million DAU is already very, very good for a software that has just been launched for less than a month.
But Li Xin and some shareholder representatives are still not satisfied, because this is a project they have high hopes for, and it has been valued at 50 billion US dollars just after its launch!
No one regards it as a new project, but a new generation of Internet instant messaging giants standing on the shoulders of many companies in the Facebook family!
So the expectations for it are naturally very high.
4000 million DAU is obviously unsatisfactory.
"It's okay, WeChat is a long-term project, so you don't have to worry about short-term gains and losses, not to mention, WeChat's current situation is not bad. Don't look downcast, those who don't know will think WeChat is a failure, haha... "Yu Wenfei smiled and comforted everyone.
The rest of the shareholders also laughed. Yu Wenfei was right. WeChat, as a rising star, can rise up under the two mountains of QQ and MSN. After one month of launch, it has surpassed MSN in the domestic market, and has even formed a threat to QQ. , have done well.
After listening to Yu Wenfei's comfort, Li Xin's face also relaxed. He has been under a lot of psychological pressure during this period of time.
"I called everyone over today. Actually, what I want to talk about is a function of WeChat, a function that has not been fully utilized yet." Yu Wenfei said seriously, and everyone became serious and listened carefully to what he said.
"That's WeChat Pay! This function may not be realized by many shareholders here. Therefore, I specially invited our friend Jack from Citigroup. He must have a deeper understanding of this." Yu Wenfei said As he stood, he turned his head to look at Jack, the shareholder representative of Citibank.
Jack, with short blond hair and a burly figure in a suit and leather shoes, nodded.
He said: "WeChat payment, I have done research recently. Frankly speaking, I regretted not investing in WeChat at that time!"
Everyone was a little puzzled. At that time, Yu Wenfei gave everyone the opportunity to invest in WeChat, but Citigroup refused and gave the opportunity to Shen Nanpeng.Now he said that he regretted it again, what is he trying to sell?
"Internet instant messaging software is not very attractive to us at Citigroup. After all, our main business is still a bank, not a venture capital investment. What's more, the valuation of WeChat at that time was already very high. Got it, haha." Jack laughed.
Everyone nodded. Citigroup's decision at that time cannot be said to be wrong. They have their own judgment and basis.
