"Of course it's true, but if you don't believe it, forget it."

"Believe it, why not?" Manager Ma said quickly.

As he was speaking, a middle-aged man with a square face and a dense hairline walked over.

Seeing each other, everyone who was chatting stopped talking subconsciously.

As for the reason, the other party was Zhang Long, the person in charge of WeChat.

Although WeChat and QQ belong to the same company, the relationship between Zhang Long and Manager Ma is very delicate.

Especially Manager Ma.

In the past, because of QQ, he was the absolute boss in the company.

Even the big boss was polite when he met him.

But the rise of WeChat has completely changed this status.

Now, no matter what Tencent does, Zhang Long is the leader.

Including bonuses, Zhang Long is a level higher than others.

The most depressing thing is that all of this was given to him by Manager Ma.

Over time, an inherent concept has been formed in everyone's mind.

That is, when Manager Ma and Zhang Long were present at the same time, everyone chose to remain silent.

After all, both of them are big guys, and if I say something wrong, I might offend one of them.

Then prepare to be tortured!

And the probability of this happening is very high.

Manager Ma glanced at Zhang Long with a complicated expression.

However, Zhang Long was smiling. He walked up to Manager Ma and said, "Brother Ma, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be so energetic."

Manager Ma said calmly, "Really? Why don't I feel that way?"

"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can look in the mirror."

Manager Ma: "Is it a peeing photo?"

"Hahahaha, Brother Ma, you are so humorous, I have to learn from you!

Let's have a quick lunch together at noon, it's my treat."

Manager Ma looked at him quietly, and suddenly smiled: "No problem.

But let me treat you!
After all, no matter what, I am considered a senior in the company, how can I ask you to pay?"

Zhang Long was a little surprised.

He was clear about his and Manager Ma's situation in the company.

Unlike Manager Ma who holds a grudge, Zhang Long is much more open-minded.

Manager Ma helped him at the beginning, which led to WeChat overtaking QQ in status.

As a result, his bonus is much higher than Manager Ma's.

This made Zhang Long feel embarrassed.

For him, he would rather do it all with his own abilities rather than asking Manager Ma for help.

It’s just that letting QQ promote WeChat was the company’s core strategy at the time.

You have to know that when WeChat was first established, it was not the only dominant player.

There are several very powerful competitors who are not only not inferior to WeChat, but have the upper hand.

If I don’t use QQ to push traffic, my winning rate will be less than 30%.

So for the sake of the company's overall situation, he had no choice but to compromise.

Because he felt guilty, when he met Manager Ma, he greeted him with a smile no matter how sarcastic the other party was.

Sarcasm is Manager Ma's trademark. Whenever you see him, he always says something like that.

Like today, this is definitely the first time that someone has taken the initiative to treat me to a meal.

"Really? Then I won't be polite.

I just happened to not have breakfast this morning, so you'll have to pay for it later!"

No matter what the other party said this for, Zhang Long accepted it with a smile.

Just then, the sound of leather shoes tapping against each other came from far away.

Everyone couldn't help but look up.

I saw a slightly fat man wearing glass-framed glasses walking towards me with firm steps.

Behind him, there were six men in suits.

This person is their boss, President Ma Yelei, who was once the richest man in the country.

"Hi boss!"

"Hello, President!"

Manager Ma and Zhang Long greeted at the same time.

President Ma looked at the two of them and immediately patted their shoulders with a smile: "Hello to you too.

You did a good job this time, especially Xiao Ma. I really didn’t make a mistake in choosing him.”

Manager Ma was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I didn't do anything."

"Okay, merit is merit, and fault is fault.

I like to clearly distinguish between merits and demerits when doing things. If I do things right, I will reward, and if I do things wrong, I will punish.

After all, there is no order without rules."

The two of them nodded quickly. This was President Ma's character and they were used to it.

President Ma looked around and said, "Everyone is here. Let's go to the meeting room."

In the conference room, everyone sat down according to their seats.

President Ma took out a pile of documents and said, “There is a lot to cover in this regular meeting, so let’s make it short.

First of all, it is a strategic issue for the company.

I have emphasized many times that as a high-tech industry relying on the Internet, our future development must be diversified, layered and refined.

For various industries, comprehensive development is necessary.

But for a certain industry, it is necessary to work intensively.

My requirement is that no matter who you are or what you do, you must be among the top three in the industry within three years.

If you can't even make it to the top three, I have to question your ability..."

After a series of opening remarks, President Ma began to elaborate on the projects that each person in charge was responsible for.

Manager Ma was listening attentively at first, but soon his mind wandered.

It was not until he felt pain in his feet that he subconsciously raised his head.

President Ma said, “This is the problem facing our short video industry. I hope we can sum up our experience in the future.

OK, let’s talk about instant messaging software.”

Manager Ma glanced at Zhang Long secretly.

There is no doubt that the person who stepped on him just now was Zhang Long.

Manager Ma has a problem: he personally doesn't like holding meetings.

Especially a conference like this where all departments get together.

Because whenever he was in a meeting, he couldn't help but empty his mind.

It seemed like I heard everything, but it also seemed like I heard nothing.

On several occasions, when President Ma asked questions, he was confused and didn't know how to answer.

It was based on this point that Zhang Long stepped on him as a reminder.

Seeing that Manager Ma was looking at him intently, instead of being absent-minded like before, President Ma was very happy:

“Speaking of instant messaging software, I want to give special praise to Manager Ma.

Although I often criticized you before, I actually know it very well in my heart.

The reason why your QQ user activity has declined has nothing to do with your ability.

It’s just that the company needs performance, so no matter whose performance declines, they must criticize you and use you as a typical example.

But I never expected that you could make QQ go further in such an environment, and even make it compete with WeChat.

So, come on!

I am very optimistic about you.”

Manager Ma quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, President. I will definitely continue to work hard."

President Ma smiled and said, “You’re welcome.

Of course, for a qualified boss, it would be hooliganism to only promise employees a rosy outcome without mentioning any treatment.

Although I am a bit of a hooligan, I am not a complete hooligan.

So take it!"

He handed an envelope to Manager Ma, who quickly stood up and took it.

When I opened the envelope, I found a special folded red paper inside. There was a bright golden pattern in the middle of the red paper, which looked very high-end.

Manager Ma was not surprised by this kind of paper, as it was the special paper the company used to give bonuses to employees.

The bonus amount is stated above. Of course, the specific money will be directly transferred to the employee’s salary card by the finance department.

This kind of paper is more of a formality.

Manager Ma quickly unfolded the red paper.

When he saw the number clearly, he was stunned.

Because it actually said 6.53 million.

This……

Manager Ma couldn't believe his eyes.

I heard from other colleagues before that the boss would reward himself.

He thought it should be about 100,000 or 200,000.

After all, although the number of daily active users of QQ has increased a lot, so far, it has not created any benefits for the company.

The boss will give you at most 100,000 or 200,000 yuan as a token of appreciation.

I didn’t expect it to be 6.53 million.

He was filled with mixed emotions, as it turned out that President Ma had never forgotten him.

Because according to Manager Ma’s bonus standards, if he had not promoted WeChat, QQ would have maintained its dominant position in instant messaging.

The money he can get is definitely much more than it is now.

Every time the company gave out bonuses, he would calculate how much money he missed out on.

Adding up all this money, it's exactly 6.53 million.

In other words, President Ma directly gave himself all the bonuses that were underpaid to him in recent years.

Seeing that Manager Ma looked a little strange, President Ma smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"Okay, I know you're upset.

In fact, I feel as uncomfortable as you do.

As for your previous bonus being reduced, there’s nothing I can do about it.

After all, if you are still given so much, what will other senior executives in the company think?
Now you have proven your ability through practical actions.

Since I owe you money, I naturally have to make it up to you.

But I have to state in advance that I will only make up for it this time.

How much bonus you can get after that depends entirely on your performance.

Do you have confidence?"

Manager Ma immediately raised his head and said, "Please rest assured, President, I will do my best."

"Very good. I believe you."

However, Manager Ma suddenly hesitated: "Boss Ma, I have a request, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Then he glanced at Zhang Long secretly.

President Ma said helplessly: "You are playing tricks on me, right?
What do you mean by what should be said and what should not be said? If I don’t let you say it, will you not say it?
Hurry up, if you have to fart, let it out!"

Having his thoughts guessed, Manager Ma said embarrassedly: "I want to connect QQ's user port with WeChat."

"Docking? What do you mean?"

"It is the sharing of user resources between the two parties. To put it simply, if one user downloads QQ and the other user downloads WeChat.

Then QQ users can add users who have downloaded WeChat as friends directly through the QQ software.

Then both parties can chat and see each other's space and so on."

"This..." President Ma was a little stunned. "Can't you just do your own things? Why do you have to merge?"

Manager Ma shook his head and said: "It's not a merger, it's still each person doing their own thing.

It’s just that both of us help build a bridge for users.

If the customer is used to using QQ, let him use QQ. If the customer is used to using WeChat, let him use WeChat.

I have done some research on this.

For most users, they only have one core instant messaging software.

Either WeChat or QQ.

As for the other one, either just discard it or use it occasionally for work or other reasons.

But here is the problem.

Whether it is QQ or WeChat, it takes up a lot of space on the user's mobile phone.

This caused many people to complain.

I believe that when we make Internet products, the most important thing is the user's personal experience.

If we can let them choose between the two, it can help us restore a lot of reputation.

The key is to do this, no matter it is QQ or WeChat, there will be no loss.

On the contrary, because we can communicate with each other, our daily activity has increased.

The effect of this kind of cooperation is no longer simply one plus one equals two.

One plus one equals three, one plus one equals four.”

President Ma frowned: "Is that so?"

He looked at Zhang Long again: "Along, what do you say?"

Zhang Long stood up and said, "Boss, I agree with Manager Ma's suggestion.

There is certainly the reason he mentioned, but there is another point.

In the past two years, with the popularization of 5G, users' attention has been fully attracted to short videos.

The best one in this regard is Kuaishou.

In terms of user usage time, we used to be the dominant player, but now Kuaishou has surpassed us.

Although we have also launched similar short video products, the results have not been ideal.

If we can open up the user channels of QQ and WeChat, perhaps we can usher in a new opportunity.”

President Ma pondered for a moment and nodded: “I understand what you mean.

I have agreed to this matter. You should do your best in the future. I look forward to the good news you will bring me."

The two nodded quickly.

noon.

Emperor Hotel.

Private room on the second floor.

Manager Ma and Zhang Long were sitting opposite each other, and suddenly, they both laughed at the same time.

Manager Ma extended his hand: "Happy cooperation!"

Zhang Long also nodded: "Happy cooperation!"

When Datou received the news that the channel between QQ and WeChat had also been opened, he was completely stunned.

That dog-headed military strategist actually got it right?

Could it be possible that my own Wuji Changliao, with the help of the Wuji system, could really overtake others and become a giant in instant messaging software?

A bit unlikely, right?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.

However, the increase in daily active users of Wuji Chat is real.

In just one month, the daily active users of Wuji Changliao increased threefold.

This is incredible.

According to his investigation, everyone's QQ, WeChat and Wuji Chat are now completely bound together.

As for its usage, it is also varied.

Some people have all three softwares, while others uninstall the other two and only keep the last one.

However, contrary to Datou's expectation, most people chose to install all three software at the same time.

However, only a very small number of people keep only one.

But no matter which one it was, it actually brought the daily active users of the three chat software to a peak.

Is it possible that this situation will continue?
Then QQ, WeChat and Wuji can chat freely and finally achieve win-win cooperation in a special sense?
Big Head is not just guessing.

For users, whether it is QQ, WeChat, or Wuji Chat, they all have their own characteristics.

And no matter who they are, users will use it.

The only difference from before is that you had to open three different software frequently.

Now, most of the time you only need to turn on one.

But opening one is equivalent to using all three software.

For example, if a person sends a picture to his friend through Wuji Changchat, then he can see the picture no matter whether he opens Wuji Changchat, QQ or WeChat.

So the daily activity of the three softwares is now available. (End of this chapter)
