Chapter 230 X Chat, pointing at BAT

At present, in addition to Goose Factory’s WeChat and QQ, there are also social software such as Xiaomi’s MiLiao, China Mobile’s Fetion, and YY.

Wang Yi didn't make chat software before, because he didn't have the capital and couldn't do the Goose Factory.

But now, the number of users of Meiyou has exceeded 60 million, and the number of users of "Defend Youzi" has exceeded 80 million!

WeChat has the QQ user group as the basis, and Wang Yi can also use Meiyou and "Defend Youzi" as the basis.

It can be said that Wang Yi now needs funds and a user base. Even if he is making a social software, relying on Meiyou and "Defend Youzi", he can quickly grow in size.

Coupled with the follow-up Xingyi mobile phone, which has built-in own chat software and international advantages, it can definitely become bigger.

After all, WeChat has only started for more than half a year and has not yet become a phenomenon. The total number of users is only tens of millions, which is not as good as Meiyou.

Moreover, the current market value of Goose Factory is only more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is at the same level as HM. It is not yet the 3 trillion giant that will be ten years later, and it is not invincible.

In terms of revenue, Goose Factory’s annual revenue is about 280 billion, and Alibaba’s is more than billion. They are not as terrifying as the annual revenue of to billion ten years later.

To put it bluntly, Xiaomi just started in 2011, and the three BAT giants are also developing, and they are not yet super overlords.

It is precisely because of this that Meituan was unable to obtain a payment license in 2011!

In a few years, Wang Yi may not be able to join the three BAT giants with a market value of trillions.

The WeChat project was proposed in October 2010, and version 10 was released in January 2011, almost two months later.

Local life services, small programs, etc., will come even later.

In addition, Wang Yi is familiar with WeChat and is a programmer. He only needs to gather a large number of top programmers in the imperial capital, put forward requirements, and hand them over to his subordinates for development.

The reason is simple. A single payment software is not irreplaceable, and social interaction is a necessary attribute.

X Chat is laid out now, and it won’t be a big problem to release it in January next year.

There is no way, social software is too important, Wang Yi has to do it.

During this time, the IT department continued to recruit employees.

"Boss, you're here!" Cai Zisong hurriedly greeted him. He hadn't seen Wang Yi for a while since Wang Yi went to the imperial capital.

Meiyou Technology is developing rapidly and its business is increasing. Naturally, the more first-class developers the better.

Moreover, the current WeChat function is still very simple, and it also has functions such as sending voice messages, floating bottles, and nearby people.

Of course, users can also fish other people’s star messages from the galaxy.

The biggest update of Meiyou 4.0 is the official launch of Meiyou novels.

For WeChat, which has just started, Wang Yi still has a great advantage.

In addition, colored star messages can be launched, and the age, gender, and even hobbies of the other party receiving star messages can be restricted... making star messages more playable.

The main thing is precise knife skills!

For example, first make the circle of friends that WeChat has not yet created in advance!

There are also people nearby that WeChat has already done, and we have to add them, but Xingyi Technology needs to do a better job.

The gameplay is similar to that of drift bottle, but more gorgeous.

In the previous life, WeChat developed rapidly. Not only did it become the largest social media giant, it also used WeChat Pay to overwhelm Alipay!

You don’t have to build all the functions at once, just do it first on WeChat and take your time.

Food and entertainment nearby!

But without WeChat, it would be difficult to rely on Alipay to socialize...

If you don’t have Alipay, you can still pay with WeChat.

Proper green comes from blue and is better than blue.

Arriving at Meiyou Building, Wang Yi went straight to the IT department.

On the contrary, WeChat has to do the opposite and copy X Chat's surroundings to play with and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

"Meiyou 4.0, is there no problem?"

But the longer time passes and the later the social layout is, the advantage will become smaller and smaller.

This is not considered plagiarizing WeChat, after all, there are too many upgrades.

And the shake is changed to star language, making a starry sky background, shaking the phone, the stars are bright, randomly connecting users who shake the phone at the same time, far away from the galaxy, but connected by fate.

"No problem. After multiple rounds of testing, all bugs in version 4.0 have been fixed. It can be launched at any time."

Not only do you list people nearby, but you also directly list nearby food and attractions!

But you can't use 'nearby', you have to change the name to 'surrounding'.

For example, the core voice calls, video calls, WeChat payment, red envelope function, transfer function, etc. were only launched in 2014.

The WeChat mini program is equivalent to a system platform with far-reaching strategic significance.

The Chinese names are "Xingchao?" "Xingyu?" "Zhichao?" "Changanchao?" "Fengxin?"

As for the drifting bottle, change it to a star message, fold the user-edited content and voice into a paper airplane, fly to the bright galaxy, and turn it into a star, waiting for someone who is destined to catch it.

The most obvious thing is that in 2018, consumers used Alipay to pay more for shopping, but after 2020, they will use WeChat to pay more!

Even though Alipay is a professional payment software, it is still not as good as WeChat, a cross-border player who started in social networking.

If Wang Yi had launched voice calling in 2012 and was far ahead, then there would be no problem in using WeChat.

Then I obtained the payment license. In early 2013, I took advantage of the New Year to launch the red envelope function, transfer function, and online video function, allowing relatives thousands of miles away to video New Year greetings and send red envelopes online!

With this combination, it can become bigger and stronger, and even send away other social software.

In such an important field of social networking, it would be unjustifiable for Wang Yi not to do it!

As for the name of the social software, the English name is "X Chat".

Wang Yi has made a calculation, social software must be laid out as soon as possible and started as soon as possible.

But now, Wang Yi can still compete with the BAT giant with a market value of more than 300 billion!

Even Moments has not been launched yet, and other excellent features will have to wait for a long, long time.

"Very good." Wang Yi nodded: "On the 25th, we will launch the closed beta test of Meiyou novels and push them to paid novel users first."

"Okay, boss." Cai Zisong responded, hesitant to speak.

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Lao Cai, just follow me when Meiyou starts, just say whatever you want, and tell me everything you know!"

"Okay!" Cai Zisong smiled slightly: "Boss, there are too many people in the IT department now. Even if some people are allocated to the game department, there are still too many people. But the tasks are obviously not that many, especially since version 4.0 has been developed and there are no BUGs. Now, the test team can continue testing, but the development team has no work to do.”

Wang Yi smiled. Lao Cai was a real person. He felt a little sorry that he only took money and did not work in the past week.

"It's easy to say, and then separate a testing department to be responsible for testing work. In addition, the development team is also subdivided into two parts. A small number of people enter the Meiyou Business Department and are responsible for the subsequent maintenance and updates of Meiyou. There will not be much follow-up It’s a big update, so there won’t be too many people.”

Meiyou has developed to this point. After the novel is launched, new projects will have to be split, and Meiyou cannot continue to pile on it.

"All the remaining developers will join the new department and work on the social software 'X Chat'!"

For such an important business as X Chat, Wang Yi decided to hand it over to Cai Zisong’s team just like Meiyou.

After all, this team has been working together and is top-notch. They have developed several versions of Meiyou, and Wang Yi is very satisfied.

There are some newly recruited developers in the imperial capital, and there may even be commercial spies.

Wang Yi didn't dare to hand over such an important business as X Chat directly to them.

On the contrary, Wang Yi will subdivide X Chat into modules and hand over unimportant modules to the Imperial Capital.

Cai Zisong is still responsible for the confidential and core modules.

After a period of time, make sure that there are no problems with the people in the imperial capital, and then entrust them with important tasks.

Horsepower can be seen in the distance, and people's hearts can be seen in the long journey.

It’s better to use the veterans first and test the new recruits first.

"Boss, we want to socialize? Is it similar to WeChat or YY?" Cai Zisong was excited and came to live!

"WeChat + YY! We don't make a choice, we want both!"

Wang Yi said: "The future development direction is specialization. Consumers like to do subtraction and can do it with one software. They never like two software or even three software. Therefore, our X Chat must perfectly replace WeChat +YY. By then, many users of WeChat and YY will flow into us."

Wang Yi knows that subsequent Android software is becoming more and more bloated, but has the same functions, making users miserable.

On the contrary, if you can do it with one software, you can free up a lot of space and resources.

For example, ten years later, many people gave up Alipay and went all-in on WeChat because WeChat can socialize, manage money, and transfer money.

To put it bluntly, WeChat can do everything Alipay can do, so it doesn’t make much sense to keep another Alipay taking up space.

As a result, many people who are short on space have uninstalled Alipay and only keep WeChat.

Similarly, social software such as MiLiao, YY, Fetion, Soul, and Tantan have also been uninstalled by some users. In the end, only WeChat + QQ may be left on the phone.

Some people even no longer play QQ.

The general direction of ecological development is that a single software function is becoming more and more complete, while the number of software on mobile phones is getting smaller and smaller.

No one likes fifty software if it can be done with thirty software.

After all, the boys' games and the teacher's lessons take up quite a lot of space.

Girls like to take photos and videos, which takes up more space.

Android phones are okay, the 512G and even 1T versions are not much more expensive.

But the cost of the iPhone is high. The 256 is 128 more expensive than the 512G standard version, the 1G is more, and the T version is more!

X Chat will be used by users only if it has the same functions as WeChat and has multiple software functions. Otherwise, it will be replaced by other software and abandoned by users.

Later, Wang Yi explained the core functions of X Chat 1.0 version to Cai Zisong one by one.

Cai Zisong took out his notebook and recorded it carefully.

With Wang Yi's requirements, it is equivalent to completing the initial market research and user needs analysis of software development.

Later, Cai Zisong analyzed Wang Yi's requirements, conducted software design, decomposed X Chat into different modules, and then assigned different modules to the following employees to develop one by one.

Finally, the different modules are integrated to form a complete software.

After testing by the testing department, bugs are found and bugs are fixed. Finally, X Chat is developed.

The rest is internal testing, official launch and subsequent maintenance and upgrades.

"Boss, don't worry, I will develop X Chat as soon as possible!" Cai Zisong promised.

At present, the United States has many soldiers and generals, and developing the X Chat 1.0 version will not be a problem.

Wang Yi nodded: "The development of WeChat 1.0 took more than two months. We are more complicated, but I will give you two months!"

"This..." Cai Zisong's expression changed slightly: "Boss, you are under a lot of pressure. After all, we have more functions, which is equivalent to WeChat version 4.0!"

"Indeed, the task volume is larger, but WeChat is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and we are crossing the river by feeling the stones. So the task volume is larger, but it is easier."

Wang Yi waved his hand: "So, I will give you two months. If there are not enough manpower, we can recruit. In addition, the software development department in the imperial capital can also be given to you to command. You can hand over those non-core modules to them!"

Modules such as peripherals, star messages, and voice messages are all included in WeChat. They are not secrets and can be handed over to the newly recruited employees of Imperial City without any problem.

However, functions such as Moments and voice calls that WeChat does not have are core and can only be completed by veteran employees of Cai Zisong’s department.

"Okay, boss, with the help of my colleagues in the Imperial City, it will be no problem." Cai Zisong breathed a sigh of relief.

It is equivalent to two development departments advancing at the same time, and the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.

Moreover, Wang Yi made it clear how to do it. If they just focus on development, it would be much easier.

As for the development of WeChat, the development team inspects the market, analyzes by itself, designs by itself, and verifies by itself, and often takes detours...

“Come on, I hope X Chat can successfully log into Xingyi’s mobile phone in two months!”

Wang Yi patted Cai Zisong on the shoulder. This is the most important thing at the moment!

After all, WeChat and MiLiao have already started, and X Chat is already a year late and has to catch up.

"Okay, boss, I promise to complete it!" Cai Zisong was very motivated.

He knows that the year-end bonus he can get depends entirely on the development progress of X Chat.

The development is progressing smoothly, and the year-end bonus is indispensable.

If development is not progressing smoothly, it will be hard to say what the year-end bonus will be.

"In the future, X Chat will be the core business. In a certain sense, it will be more important than Meiyou. Therefore, we can recruit top programmers on a large scale. But we must pay attention to personnel screening and background checks, and don't let anyone sneak in." Wang Yi said earnestly.

"Don't worry, boss, newly recruited employees will go through multiple rounds of screening and investigation. And they will not be exposed to the core business in the initial stage."

"Okay!" Wang Yi nodded, turned and left.

Meiyou has developed to version 4.0 and launched novels, which is the end for the time being.

Any subsequent increase will only increase the scope of business.

For example, Meiyou Mall has launched new categories.

However, the core functions will not be significantly updated in a short period of time. As for Meiyou 5.0, it is even further away.

But X Chat is different. It will be continuously updated and upgraded in the future, and new functions will be added continuously.

X Chat is the core business. After all, the positioning of X Chat is to realize the functions of WeChat in the previous life in advance, surpass WeChat, and replace WeChat!

You are all reborn, how can you have no ambition?

In the past life, the e-commerce field was initially dominated by Alibaba, but later JD.com and PDD were killed by the Three Kingdoms.

Especially after the economic downturn and consumption sinks, PDD has a tendency to surpass Alibaba!

But in the social field, WeChat is the dominant player.

The only second-ranked brother is QQ.

There is no way Wang Yi would give up on such an important business.

X Chat can only succeed and cannot fail.

But how to hack WeChat is a problem and needs to be studied carefully.

Later, Wang Yi went to the game department again.

Seeing Wang Yi's arrival, Liang Qiye was stunned for a moment, then walked over with a smile: "Boss, you're here!"

Wang Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, "Defending Pomelo" was very successful, and all members of your department received year-end awards!"

"The boss is wise!"

Everyone in the room was excited.

The biggest advantage of being in Meiyou is that there are more opportunities for those who are able.

Which department has outstanding performance will get the highest year-end bonus. Which department's performance is at the bottom will have a lower year-end bonus.

Before "Defend Grapefruit" was not launched, the game department could only watch helplessly as other departments won quarterly awards, but they did not get any points.

Now the clouds are clearing and the moon is finally clearing, and the year-end bonus is guaranteed!

"But!" Wang Yi paused:

"The year-end bonuses are also divided into levels. Whether you win the grand prize or the small prize depends on the revenue in the next few months. The revenue of "Defend Grapefruit" continues to rise, so the grand prize cannot be won. If the revenue declines, then the only choice is It’s a small prize. If the revenue collapses, there will only be a little consolation prize left.”

"This……"

The smiles on the faces of everyone in the room froze.

I thought that if the game became popular, I would be able to win the year-end grand prize, but it turns out that I can only win prizes. How much depends on the subsequent market performance.

To put it bluntly, what Wang Yi wants is not just a good start, but continued development!

"Don't worry, boss, our department won't be arrogant when we win, and we won't be discouraged when we lose. Since "Defend Yuzu" became a big hit, we have worked more overtime. We are constantly optimizing the game experience, developing new maps and new modes. Currently, "Defend Yuzu" 1.1 is big The update is ready, not only new themes have been added, but also challenge mode has been enabled!"

"Very good. When the revenue declines, we have to start launching new versions."

"Yes!" Liang Qiye responded.

"After completing version 1.1, we will also push forward 1.2 and 1.3. Then we can take time to work on "Defend Grapefruit 2"!" Wang Yi said earnestly:

"From now on, your department will be responsible for the development of "Defend Grapefruit". Your performance and year-end bonuses will also be linked to the revenue of "Defend Grapefruit". You will both gain and lose."

"I understand!" Liang Qiye took a deep breath and understood the seriousness of the situation.

As a stand-alone game, no matter how popular "Defend Yuzu" is, it will not remain popular for two years.

Everyone likes the new and hates the old!

Therefore, "Defend Yuzu 2" will have to be made in half a year and released in a year.

Only in this way can we continue to retain users and continue to achieve profitability!

More importantly, if Meiyou doesn't make "Defend Youzi 2", other companies will follow suit and make it.

So Meiyou can only run faster!

"This month's revenue is good. Your department's performance this month will all get double the coefficient! Next month, keep up the good work!"

Wang Yi patted Liang Qiye on the shoulder, turned and left.

Cheers erupted from inside the house.

At Meiyou and Xingyi Technology, most jobs are based on basic salary + performance.

As long as the established business is completed, it will be 1.0 performance. If the revenue is high, the performance will be 1.5 times.

For example, "Defend Grapefruit" exploded directly, which is 2.0 times the performance.

Of course, if the set tasks are not completed, it will be 0.5 times the performance, or even 0 performance, and only the basic salary will be paid.

You can get a high salary just by messing around, which is absolutely impossible in Meiyou Technology.

Wang Yi does not raise idle people.

At this time, Song Sining's secretary Yu Xue came over and said, "Boss, the groundbreaking ceremony of Meiyou Science and Technology Park is in half an hour."

"Okay, let's go there!" Wang Yi went out and Wu Shuang was already waiting in the car.

Ten minutes later, Wang Yi came to a construction site, covering an area of ​​300 acres, which was the future Meiyou Science and Technology Park!

The construction site was surrounded by a circle, and some excavators, forklifts, and tower cranes were parked inside.

There are many workers waiting inside, who are the contractors.

The contractor was found by Song Sining before. He was very reliable and cost-effective. He only needed to spend half the money, which was enough, and he could still maintain quality and quantity.

For general projects, you will find a general contractor. If the general contractor provides 20%, then you will find a second contractor, and if the second contractor provides a portion, you will find a third contractor...

Divided layer by layer in this way, the first and second phases of the science and technology park totaled 10 billion, and finally fell into the hands of the construction party, with only 3 million left. It would be strange not to cut corners!

If the subcontractor in the middle defaults on the project payment again, causing the construction party to fail to get the money and cause trouble, the impact will be huge.

Meiyou Technology will also be affected.

Therefore, Song Sining did not look for those well-known general contractors. Instead, she directly looked for high-quality local construction companies!

After all, even if you find a general contractor, in the end it will be a local builder who does the work, which may not be of high quality.

Nowadays, Meiyou goes directly to the local construction company, eliminating the need for middlemen to earn the price difference. A 10 billion project only requires 5 million to complete, and Meiyou Technology directly saves 5 million.

The construction party can also earn an additional 200 million, ensuring that more materials are used and the quality is better. There is no need to worry about the project funds being misappropriated by the middle subcontractor and not getting paid.

It can be said that everyone is happy.

The only hard thing is that those general contractors and subcontractors can't make any money or get a commission.

Wang Yi didn't mind this.

Just like e-commerce, why can the price be lowered?

It’s all about profiting from the price difference without the middleman.

Times are changing, everything is changing.

Of course, if Wang Yi plays this mode, it will be difficult for others to do so.

If a monster pops up randomly to cause trouble, it will be difficult for people to deal with.

But Wang Yi doesn't care. Meiyou is a major taxpayer in the High-tech Zone. Not only the High-tech Zone, but also Jeju is paying attention.

It would be fun if someone really dared to jump out and look for trouble.

What's more, Meiyou's legal affairs are not vegetarian.

Those low-key people typically bully the weak and fear the strong.

Now Meiyou is no longer someone they can mess with.

"Director Wang, you are here!"

Seeing Wang Yi approaching, He De'an, the general contractor and construction owner, greeted him with a smile.

As the top local construction company in Jeju, he has a variety of construction teams, including earthwork, foundation pit, elevator, and fire protection construction teams.

The main thing is that the team is complete and the comprehensive strength is strong.

Therefore, many large projects in Jeju are contracted out to them, and they are ultimately responsible for the construction.

But the project funds they received were only 30% of the total project funds.

The remaining 70% were taken away layer by layer by the general contractor.

As for the Meiyou Science and Technology Park project, He De'an felt that he had made a lot of money by directly letting him, a low-level construction contractor, be the general contractor and receiving 50% of the project payment.

It is precisely because of this that the 500 million interest-free loan given by the High-tech Management Committee was originally only enough to build the first phase of the Meiyou Science and Technology Park. Now it is better, and it is enough to build the first and second phases together.

"Work hard, there will be three phases and even other projects later." Wang Yi said meaningfully.

"There are other projects!" He De'an was extremely excited and completely understood what Wang Yi meant: "Don't worry, Director Wang, I will ensure the quality and quantity, and I will never let you down."

"Okay." Wang Yi nodded, but secretly thought in his heart that if He De'an is really good, he can be hired as his subordinate and become the royal contractor.

After all, Meiyou has real estate qualifications, and there are still three communities + a skyscraper waiting to be developed.

The current Meiyou Technology Park is developed by Meteor Real Estate Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Xingyi Technology, and the contractor is De'an Construction Co., Ltd.

If He De'an is really reliable, he will be the official contractor of Meteor Real Estate in the future.

If it is unreliable, you will miss this wave of wealth.

Many years later, He De'an finished other people's projects and was worried about getting the money for the projects.

Many times I vomit blood after drinking it, but it doesn't come out.

Even though we are clearly owed money for the project, we still have to use the money to manage things and give gifts everywhere...

But these will never appear here in Wang Yi.

"Director Wang, long time no see!"

A loud voice sounded, and several figures came over.

"Director Hong!" Wang Yi smiled slightly and stepped forward to greet him.

The God of Wealth is here.

These three hundred acres of land were given by Director Hong.

It is worth mentioning that these 15 acres of land are not worthless industrial land, but very valuable commercial land, worth billion.

Industrial land can only be built into industrial parks. Even if it is equipped with office buildings and apartments, it cannot be sold separately and can only be used by yourself.

But commercial land is different. You can build office buildings or apartments, and they can all be sold!

Therefore, commercial land is also much more expensive than industrial land.

Although the area nearby is still the Eastern Suburbs, it is not valuable yet, only 15 billion for acres.

But in a few years, when the Meiyou 518 Building is built, the surrounding areas are demolished, and the financial center is built. This will be the future financial center, and every inch of land will become very valuable!

Then this land is not 15 billion, but 50 billion, or even more!

More importantly, Wang Yi didn't even spend the 15 billion.

It was completely a bet between the High-tech Zone Management Committee and Wang Yi in order to retain Meiyou Technology.

As long as Meiyou achieves a revenue of 30 billion within two years, these three hundred acres of commercial land will be given to Wang Yi for free, and an interest-free loan of million will be provided to Wang Yi to complete the first phase of the construction of Meiyou Science and Technology Park.

Unexpected results, how can it be used for two years?

In less than two months, Wang Yi completed the bet and gained 300 acres of land for free!

"Director Hong, Director Hong, you are such a kind person!"

Wang Yi burst into laughter. Of course, the management committee did not lose any money.

After all, for Meiyou to do this, the tax paid every year is a terrifying figure.

This 1.5 billion land can be earned back very quickly, and all the subsequent tax revenue will be in vain.

As for political achievements, let alone that.

So much so that now when Director Hong goes to attend city meetings, he is more than welcome!

"Director Wang, I haven't seen you for a while, you really shocked me!"

Director Hong looked complicated: "A few months ago, you even asked for a loan of 35 million for the project, but now, billion Hong Kong dollars have been strategically invested in BYD! It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Director Hong has been optimistic about Meiyou from the very beginning, that's why she is so powerful!"

"Hahaha." Director Hong was in a good mood. Wang Yi didn't get carried away just because he became big.

This kind of character made him take another high look.

"Director Hong, the time has come. Let's hold the cutting ceremony for the foundation laying ceremony of Meiyou Science and Technology Park!" Wang Yi made an invitation gesture.

"Okay! Director Wang, please!" Director Hong said with a smile.

(End of this chapter)
