The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 251 Homecoming Li Zhibin

On February 2th, on the highway from Hangzhou to Shanghai.

Ma Yun was sitting in the back seat, with his legs crossed, one elbow resting on the armrest of the car door, holding a document in his hand and looking down, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

WeChat, Qunxing, Tianshu games.

Didi, have you eaten? Tianxuan Information Service.

In addition, there are listening to the sound of the cloud, going to the blue sky, and Tengyun data.

Each noun and the meaning behind it are clearly explained in this document, intertwined into a very dense network in Jack Ma's eyes.

When he lowered his gaze to the bottom and saw the introduction information of the founder of this star company, he still couldn't help showing disbelief in his eyes.

With the information network and energy behind Ali, it is still very simple to simply want to know the basic information of a company owner.

So for Ma Yun, Xu Xing's identity is transparent in front of him.

But because of this, Ma Yun didn't dare to believe that this Qunxing company was created by such a young man in his 20s.

For him who is nearly fifty years old, this is really a jealous thing.

You know, he started his business in 95 and founded Ali in 99. It has been more than ten years now. It can be said that he has participated in the entire process from the start to the rise of the domestic Internet.

This created the current Ali Empire.

But right now, this young man named Xu Xing, in just over half a year, relying on several popular mobile games, forcibly produced an instant messaging software such as Weixin.

He also bit off a piece of meat from Tencent's QQ.

To be honest, if it was only mobile games that became popular, no matter how powerful the Tianshu game was, Qunxing would only become a link in the Internet ecosystem.

It's great, but at least it doesn't have the ability to influence and change the situation.

But a WeChat message completely changed the situation.

As a traffic pool with huge potential, Weixin’s strategic position is no less than that of Ali’s Taobao and AliPay. Both are strategic weapons that can become the core of a group and ecological chain.

It's not that Ali never thought about making social software for instant messaging before, but after many attempts, they basically ended in failure.

Tencent's QQ empire is solid and unshakable, with a user base of hundreds of millions. Once users' habit of using is cultivated, the process is almost irreversible.

It's just that no one expected that in the turmoil of the mobile Internet era, Qunxing would seize a fleeting opportunity to complete a sneak attack by taking advantage of the convenience of mobile phones and the expansion of user groups.

Especially the show operation from the game platform to the social platform, even though Ma Yun has read the analysis report several times, it still makes him feel bright.

The mobile games produced by Tianshu are relatively simple types, which can naturally attract a large number of mobile phone users.

After using mobile games to accumulate the first wave of users, WeChat immediately used the rogue-level function of contact book friends.

The address book, a function that only exists in mobile phones, symbolizes a secret treasure in the mobile Internet era. It is there, but few people really notice it.

People who make Internet products know very well that if they want to increase users, the most perfect situation is that users spontaneously attract people around them.

And this move to make friends in the address book is completely a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot, directly and quickly pulling a large number of mobile phone users into the ecological chain of WeChat.

Combined with the information at the Weixin 2.0 conference, everyone quickly realized one thing.

Middle-aged and elderly people may not be the main force of Internet consumption, but they can become a chain linking young users.

Relatively simple social software such as WeChat, as long as it can meet the basic needs of the middle-aged and elderly groups and create a top-down relationship in the social circle, relatively young people will have to use it even if they don’t want to.

This move directly hit the weakest point of Tencent QQ, and immediately opened up the situation for WeChat.

It has evolved to the present, tens of millions of users, as long as WeChat continues to maintain, the future social software landscape may be surging.

It would be a pity if Ali couldn't get involved.

It's just that, facing a company with no problem in cash flow, even a large amount of surplus, rapid development, and huge room for growth, if you want to take it under the door, you may have to pay a very huge price.

Ma Yun frowned, and looked through Xu Xing's personal information carefully. He was really not sure, and he had to wait until he met the person before he could make a judgment.

……

In the evening, a clothing foundry.

Xu Jian finished the assembly line manufacturing related meeting with the construction team, and roughly determined the construction plan for the next year.

After the other people in the meeting left, Xu Jian pressed the shoulder of Zhang Qiang, the leader of the construction team, and said with a smile, "Are you free tonight? Please have a meal."

Faced with the expansion of this production line, Xu Jian still paid more attention to it. After the meeting, he took a few people from the construction team to the meeting to go out for dinner, make contact with each other, and get acquainted with each other in advance.

The engineers in the three teams headed by Zhang Qiang also readily agreed. There is still some time before the start of construction, and the construction plan has been finalized. The host mainly treats guests, so naturally they will not refuse.

So Xu Jian drove the car himself and took them to the hotel that had been booked in advance.

As a result, when he arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Xu Jian bumped into a group of young people. Seeing them sitting on the round table in the lobby, he always felt familiar.

Then he heard a familiar voice: "Uncle Xu?"

Turning his head, Xu Jian raised his eyebrows: "Li Zhibin, right? Why are you here?"

"Oh, isn't this our classmate reunion?" Li Zhibin said with a naive smile, "Uncle Xu is here for dinner?"

"Well, I invite guests to have a meal." Xu Jian looked around and saw that they had reserved at least three tables, so he asked, "Is that kid Xu Xing coming too?"

"No, Xu Xing won't come." Li Zhibin scratched his head, "I wanted to ask him to come, but he said he wasn't free."

"I'm not free for the high school reunion?" Xu Jian clicked his tongue. He didn't know about that kid. How could he be free? He clearly went to accompany his little girlfriend, and he went back to stay for a night last night. .

I don't know if the protection measures are in place, but don't finish the freshman, bring him a baby first.

While Xu Jian was chatting with Li Zhibin, the engineer who came to eat with Zhang Qiang also found his daughter Hu Hualin at the table, sitting next to Li Zhibin.

"Dad?" Hu Hualin, who was originally a study committee member in a high school class and was also admitted to Beijing University, and went to school in Kyoto with Li Zhibin, was a little surprised when she saw her father, Hu Yanyu.

Hu Yanyu didn't talk much, but nodded to his daughter: "I'll have a meal with my client, and you can have fun by yourself."

Xu Jian led Zhang Qiang, Hu Yanyu and others into the box, and Li Zhibin who was in the lobby asked curiously, "Is that your father?"

"Yes." Hu Hualin nodded, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"Oh, that's Xu Xing's father."

"Isn't that our boss' father?"

"you do not say."

Since Li Zhibin took over the expansion of Eatme's business in Kyoto, he asked many classmates to help him, and Hu Hualin, who was his high school classmate, was naturally among them and helped him a lot.

Coming to the high school reunion today can be regarded as Li Zhibin's homecoming.

Although he is not a shareholder, Eat Me raised 1500 million US dollars, of which 500 million will be allocated to the business expansion in Kyoto. For the person in charge of the business in Kyoto, that is considered a powerful position.

Let alone 500 million US dollars, 50 US dollars, 5 US dollars, is enough for Li Zhibin to brag among his classmates.

On the contrary, after reaching the number of millions, although the students were envious, they couldn't feel too much jealousy, and they were a little numb instead.

Especially when they heard that this thing was made by their classmate Xu Xing, it felt even more unreal, like a dream.

If Li Zhibin hadn't followed Xu Xingxing step by step, he would have felt the same way as this group of people.

He also adjusted his mentality over and over again, and after a while, he was shocked by Xu Xingxin's operations and achievements. After being constantly refreshed by this guy's understanding of the world, he gradually got used to this status quo.

It was because of these opportunities to exercise before and after that he was able to take over the business of Eat Me in Kyoto.

Fortunately, he majored in finance and economics, unlike Xu Xing and his computer major, which have many courses.

With Li Zhibin's level of study, if he doesn't participate in some miscellaneous club activities and competitions in the school, if he just takes classes honestly, he can take care of his career and don't have to choose to suspend school like Zhang Nong.

In addition, although Hu Hualin was the only one who went to Beijing University with him, there were also a few people who were admitted to other universities in Kyoto, and now they were all pulled into the team by Li Zhibin. After returning to Shanghai, they seemed to be a small group.

"So Xu Xing is really not coming?" Hu Hualin asked softly, "We haven't seen this boss since the summer vacation."

"We'll see each other. He's busy." Li Zhibin said in a low voice, a little helplessly, "And he probably just doesn't want to come. After all, the gap is too big, so coming here will affect everyone."

Hu Hualin understood. After all, it was a takeaway with an estimated value of hundreds of millions. As a high school classmate, I didn't show off when I was in school, but as soon as I entered university, I skyrocketed.

It's only been half a year since I saw him, and he's already worth over [-] million, so he's not from the same world at all.

If Li Zhibin, who happened to be in the same class and had a good relationship with Xu Xing, was admitted to the same university, Hu Hualin probably wouldn't be able to get in touch with such a person in this life.

It's just that what she didn't know was that the takeaway food was just the tip of the iceberg on Xu Xing's career map.

Knowing about this, Li Zhibin just smiled, thinking that when Xu Xing's true identity is revealed, he doesn't know how his high school classmates will react.

……

In the evening, Ocean International Building.

Xu Xing sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the office chair.

The sky outside the window darkened, and as the season entered deep winter, the night in the Shanghai stock market came earlier than before, and it was completely dark before six o'clock in the evening.

But sitting at the height of ten floors, looking down, this bustling city is still brightly lit.

"Mr. Xu, Ali's Mr. Ma is already on the highway, and he will arrive at the hotel in about half an hour." Yan Chi stood obediently by the desk and reminded Xu Xing.

"Yeah." Xu Xing nodded, "We'll be there in 15 minutes."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the office, and after Xu Xing answered, Liao Qinyu walked in from the door.

"Mr. Xu, the summary of the previous year's data on WeChat has been sent to your mailbox."

"it is good."

Xu Xing returned to his desk, opened the mailbox, clicked on the data sheet, and glanced briefly.

Since the release of Weixin 2.0 in early February, only a week has passed, and the number of Weixin users has grown rapidly to 7000 million.

The [-] million mark is not far away.

The current WeChat is already a behemoth that cannot be ignored in the Internet field. After all, with 7000 million users, it is definitely not enough compared to its big brother QQ, but looking at the bottom, they are all younger brothers!
But if this momentum continues, 7000 million to [-] million, it seems that it is not impossible.

And once the number of [-] million is broken, the meaning will be completely different.

At this stage, with such a huge user base, especially these users are connected based on personal social networks.

This means that WeChat will have at least tens of millions of sticky users.

A person's relationship network is all on this software, and you will not be able to uninstall it if you want to, it is the same as QQ, even more rigorous than QQ.

After all, in the computer era, there are still many middle-aged and elderly people who don't know how to use computers, let alone QQ accounts, and they don't even understand how to play.

However, in the mobile era, this group of people also slowly began to use mobile phones, especially the middle-aged people who did not use computer QQ very much in the past.

Xu Xing looked at the data, and after a brief scan, he set his sights on the utilization rate of several new functions of version 2.0.

Among them, the voice recognition function is not very mature, so the usage rate is relatively low, and the service center that combines Didi Taxi and Eat Me is still in its infancy.

During this period of time, many companies have approached Weixin and wanted to discuss cooperation. The purpose is to insert their own APP links into Weixin's service center and enjoy the irrigation of Weixin's traffic pool.

You must know that at present, Didi Taxi and Eat Me takeaway are still regional services, covering only two places, Kyoto and Shanghai.

Among them, after receiving a new round of financing, Didi Taxi has begun to expand to other cities, but the effect has not yet fully appeared.

If you eat it, the takeaway is really limited to the two core cities, and it has not yet spread.

Under such circumstances, there will naturally be many other companies who want to seize the C position in the traffic pool of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in the future.

However, what satisfied Xu Xing the most was the data from Moments.

The daily utilization rate reached 57.8%, and the weekly utilization rate reached 88.9%.

Of course, this is only the first week, and no specific trend can be seen yet.

But just looking at the time of this week, the usage rate of the circle of friends is increasing in the form of a surge almost every day.

"I don't know what conditions that President Ma will give when he sees such momentum."

Xu Xing clicked his tongue twice. Seeing that the time was almost up, he got up and said, "Just maintain the current situation of WeChat, continue to collect feedback on various functions, and relax during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay Mr. Xu." Liao Qinyu said goodbye and left after reporting the data summary.

Xu Xing packed his clothes and waved to Yan Chi: "Secretary Yan, take me to see President Ma."

Yan Chi vinegar obediently followed Xu Xing, lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Okay, Mr. Xu."

"How are you getting used to it?" Xu Xing squeezed her little hand and asked in her ear.

"Mr. Xu, this is the company, please respect yourself." Yan Chijiu took half a step back with a serious face, "I'll take you to the hotel."

I don't know why, the more serious Yan Chi vinegar is, the more interesting and exciting Xu Xing finds it. If it wasn't for Mr. Ma's arrival, he probably couldn't help but push Yan Chi vinegar onto the desk and spank his ass.

"Let's go." Without bullying his little secretary anymore, Xu Xing pushed open the door of the office and walked out.
