Rebirth started in 2004

Chapter 305 Valuation

Digital City and Ganchang, the two websites are highly overlapped in market positioning, business scope, and user groups, and even 100% overlap in user groups.

In terms of user experience, Ganchang.com is much better than the current digital city.

"Director Wei, now Yang Haoyong has been involved in a lot of energy by the divorce lawsuit. If this case cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it will definitely affect the development of Ganchang.com."

Chen Wei said indifferently: "Although the development of Ganchang.com is not satisfactory, it would be a good thing to wait for the merger of the digital city in the future. Anyway, the two websites are not different in essence."

And Chen Wei still remembers that Ganchang.com was really merged by Digital City.

The two classified information websites are not the protagonists today, but WeChat is!

With the increase of smartphone users, the number of WeChat users is also skyrocketing.

For domestic users, WeChat users and Hengtong electronic product users have a high degree of overlap.

No way, there are so many consumers.

A consumer uses many products.

Compared with the previous life, or in Chen Wei's impression, the era of mobile Internet has come more violently in China.

Faced with a large number of users, the three communication companies are also constantly improving.

At least the deployment of the 3G network can be too active.

Of course, the three communication companies have a gnashing hatred for WeChat.

Because with WeChat, people call less now.

As for the SMS fee?

Now mobile phone text messages are sent to others for free, and they don't send them anymore.

The number of active users of Fetion, which was launched before China Mobile, has been greatly reduced. As for the number of new users?
There are no new users at all.

WeChat now has more than [-] million registered users.

WeChat can have so many registered users, it must be said that WeChat has occupied people's mobile phone contacts.

In addition, there is a big difference between WeChat and QQ.

WeChat is mainly socialized with acquaintances, and the attribute of friends is quite strong.

Especially after the WeChat circle of friends came out, the number of WeChat users increased greatly.

Every day, more than 20 million Moments are updated on WeChat.

This number is an exaggeration.

Heavy users have to update several circles of friends a day.

Chen Wei never took the initiative to update Moments, unless he was sending blessings during festivals.

On Chen Wei's WeChat, many friends have been added.

Everyone, those who Chen Wei thinks are important will be added.

Recently, WeChat has quietly launched the WeChat computer client and the web version of WeChat.

The online computer client WeChat is mainly used as an office software.

In the domestic market at this time, MSN occupies the office chat market, and most white-collar workers use this software.

MSN still has a pretty good market share in the domestic market.

In addition to normal chatting, the WeChat computer version also has a very important function, which is the ability to transfer files between computers and mobile phones.

This can be regarded as a great help.

Nowadays, it has always been a troublesome thing to transfer files, pictures and the like between computers and mobile phones.

As for the web version of WeChat, it is mainly for chatting and the like.

The computer version of WeChat does not have a mobile payment function.

Moments can still be viewed and posted.

After the P picture on the computer, you can directly send it to Moments.

Like Meitu Xiuxiu, there was only a PC version of the software before, but now it has released software that supports the ONI system.

The download volume can be quite awesome!
Regarding the needs of Meitu, because of the popularity of Moments, everyone has some needs.

"Has the valuation of WeChat been made yet?"

Sun Licheng: "According to our calculations, the valuation of WeChat is in the range of 70 billion to 100 billion US dollars, which is appropriate."

Chen Wei: "Have you considered mobile payment?"

Since the Spring Festival Gala made online red envelopes, mobile payment has officially started to be put on the agenda.

Start testing in the capital first.

The positioning of WeChat Pay is very clear, that is, to sink the market, it must become the most important payment method for micropayments.

It is being promoted in vegetable markets, supermarkets, and convenience stores.

In order to promote it into supermarkets, Xiaoju Technology provides mobile payment collection equipment to supermarkets free of charge.

Chen Wei told the R&D staff about the supermarket mobile payment in his impression, and they developed the thing quite quickly.

All hardware and software are done.

The early promotion was carried out in first-tier cities.

Because among the first-tier cities, the users who use smartphones are the most.

In order to push mobile payment up, ground push is also enabled.

Go directly to merchants for promotion.

In the early stage of WeChat payment, it naturally does not charge any fees and is completely free.

Merchant cash withdrawals do not require money.

There will be no charge for transfers or anything.

Even Xiaoju Technology posted the money upside down, and the payment QR code card is quite exquisite.

There are only three, a listing like a work card, a QR code sticker, and a plastic QR code stand.

Let’s get it all together, anyway, the family needs to subsidize some money.

But it doesn't matter, does it?

As long as there are merchants who use QR codes to collect payments, more users will naturally be able to use WeChat Pay and Nine Pay.

After the merchant receives the money, they will naturally not transfer the money away immediately.

In other words, there is a large amount of cash deposited in Xiaoju Technology's account.

As long as the money does not leave WeChat or JiuPay, is the money real money?

For users, this money must be real money, and they can withdraw money to their bank accounts at any time.

But for Xiaoju Technology, the money displayed on the user account is actually a number.

For example, user A transferred 1000 yuan to user B, but user B did not withdraw the money to the bank card after receiving the money.

So where is the 1000 yuan actually?
For Xiaoju Technology, is this only a change in the number on the user account on its own program?

Chen Wei didn't mention paying attention to these funds, but the interest generated by these deposited funds does not belong to the users, but to Xiaoju Technology.

Xiaoju Technology alone can earn 30 million a month.

Therefore, for Xiaoju Technology, the promotion of mobile payment can reduce the operating pressure of Xiaoju Technology.

"If mobile payment is also taken into account, the valuation of WeChat will increase to 150 billion U.S. dollars."

Chen Wei supported his head and raised his eyebrows slightly.

For Chen Wei, the instant chat feature of WeChat is not the most important.

Mobile payment function is!

Everything else is for this function.

As for things like official accounts, there are quite a few on WeChat now, but not too many.

After all, it always takes a certain amount of time for new things to come out.

"What about the overall valuation of Xiaoju Technology?"

"$260 billion!"

Chen Wei pondered slightly, but did not speak. This valuation is already quite powerful.
