Top of the big era

The plane lands.

It happened to be morning when we arrived in the capital.

The weather is still a bit cold, and the haze in the morning is still a bit heavy.

When you go to the company, don’t be too anxious. Go to the employee canteen to have breakfast first.

This is not an ordinary employee canteen hall, but a private room on the third floor.

I happened to see Guo Pengfei and Meng Houkun.

"Huh?"

Guo Pengfei was slightly startled.

Meng Houkun glanced at Zhou Buqi's side and found that there was no beautiful woman following him, only a male driver. He said with a smile: "You are paying attention to your image during this private visit incognito?"

Zhou Buqi was not polite and went directly to their private room, "Why don't you pay a private visit incognito? Come here to try the company meal and check on the work."

Meng Houkun said with a smile: "Didn't you watch the show on TV? Kangxi went to have a private visit in disguise, and there were Yifei, Xiao Taohong and so on around him."

Of course Zhou Buqi is around.

This time I was accompanied by Sun Wanran and Ning Lu when I returned home. At the same time, Aunt Xue seemed to have something to do, so she also came back. This was an advantage for Zhou. On the plane, he took Aunt Xue to take a mandarin duck bath on the grounds that he needed to be in a good mental state at work.

The mandarin ducks in each are playing in the water, the affection is lingering, and the affection between husband and concubine cannot be expressed.

After sitting down, Guo Pengfei said that they came to the company so early mainly because they had something to do. They wanted to go to the department to explain WeChat's product logic, the next direction of innovation, and to express Ziweixing's attitude in dealing with the current predicament.

Zhou Buqi asked: "What attitude do you want to express?"

Meng Houkun snorted: "Of course we refuse! We must resist this unreasonable monopoly oppression to the end!"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Don't be so fussy!"

Guo Pengfei sighed and said helplessly: "We really can't agree to any of those requests."

"How many are there?"

"There are three main things. The first is to stop WeChat."

"This is impossible!"

Zhou Buqi would definitely not accept such a plan.

Guo Pengfei continued: "The second is to stop the phone service, but this is WeChat's most popular feature at the moment."

Meng Houkun said: "We can't back down. Now many similar products in the industry are staring at WeChat. Ziweixing must set an example for them and help them find a way to survive in the industry. This kind of thing, Ziweixing has to set an example for them." If MSI doesn't do it, who else will do it? If WeChat quits, they will all die. Even if there are tens of millions of people involved in this kind of escort, I..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Buqi felt that this kid was a bit arrogant, but he was right. "We must keep this business! Times have changed. The authorities banned the Internet phone business a few years ago. That's because At that time, the momentum of the Internet was not so obvious, and the value created was not enough. It is different now. Our country has been in the first class of the mobile Internet era, tied with the United States!"

This is where his confidence lies.

Just like Weidian Video, Baidu Video, Qvod and other platforms will be banned for piracy of film and television content, but various online disk businesses can continue to engage in piracy with tacit consent.

Why?

Because the network disk business is in full swing!

This industry can even create value that is not weaker than the genuine industry.

This is WeChat’s greatest competitiveness.

A few years ago, Internet telephony created very little value, seriously damaged the business of the operator, and interfered with the operation of the operator, so it was very reasonable to ban it.

Things are different now. The value that this kind of OTT social products can create has become an economic volume that cannot be ignored.

If WeChat is banned, it will destroy an industry.

Meng Houkun snorted coldly: "There are just some people who want to unite to cause trouble and curb the Internet... Not only WeChat, but Alibaba has also formed a resistance force."

"Ali?" Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, "Has Alipay been hacked?"

Meng Houkun shook his head, "It's not Alipay, it's express delivery."

"express delivery?"

"Well, now there are couriers on the streets and alleys. They ride around on an electric tricycle with little safety protection, and they just run around in the city. They always fail to abide by traffic regulations and have many accidents. The most important thing is, It is the existence of this industry and this group that affects the appearance of the city, creates difficulties for urban management, and also affects the selection of civilized cities. Many people are putting pressure on the authorities, hoping to restrict the development of the express delivery industry."

"There are so many reasons." Zhou Buqi looked a little funny, "Is it from the post office?"

With the development of the private express delivery industry, the postal service, a former state-owned monopoly, has basically ceased operations. It can be said that it is uncompetitive in the face of private power.

If you can’t beat the market, what should you do?

Then we can only pin our hopes on policies. This is the privilege and greatest advantage of state-owned enterprises.

WeChat is being targeted by operators, and express delivery is being stalked by the postal service. Boss Zhou and Boss Ma are really a pair of inseparable brothers.

Meng Houkun nodded, "It seems so. They have been fighting for many years. The authorities have been allowing the development of the private express delivery industry, and the entire industry has created millions of jobs. That is useless, everyone has his own territory. Who doesn’t grab it and bring it back? Yes, let’s have a fight anyway.”

"By the way, there's a third point, why didn't you mention it?"

"The third point is to incorporate WeChat into the operator's system."

"How to include it?"

Zhou Buqi frowned. Of course, he was unwilling to let WeChat establish itself on its own. Once it was incorporated into the operator's system, it would suffer in the future.

Guo Pengfei said: "I don't know the specific situation, and I need to inquire more. But it is nothing more than making up for the operator's losses through cooperation. It is probably similar to the cooperation between Montnets and Mobile QQ back then."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's too unreliable. This is the mobile Internet, all kinds of OTTs of various vertical apps. Monternet's approach will only get worse and worse until it finally closes down."

Guo Pengfei nodded, "Go and check the situation. You can't let WeChat be controlled by others."

Zhou Buqi said: "Helo is developing so well overseas. In addition to Helo, there are also Apple's iMessage, Facebook, Snapchat, Skype, Ucgram, and Twitter in foreign countries. It is not easy for China to develop so well in the mobile Internet industry. Well, we have achieved a leading position in the world. If we destroy ourselves due to internal fighting, then we are killing each other and letting outsiders laugh."

Guo Pengfei said with a serious face, "That's right."

Meng Houkun said carelessly: "It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Boss Ma is also in Beijing..." Zhou Buqi will definitely not go to the ministry to negotiate. This level is too low. If he comes forward, he will definitely face the two or three people who have the final say. There is no rush, "Okay. , then you go, I'll talk to Lao Ma and see what's going on there. I thought he was in trouble with Alipay, but I didn't expect that the express delivery industry was under pressure... Huh? It doesn't seem to be under Alibaba. Express delivery industry, right?”

Meng Houkun said: "Alibaba does not do express delivery, but e-commerce business cannot be separated from express delivery. How many express delivery companies rely on Taobao to survive. If these express delivery companies are left alone to bear the pressure, they may not be able to withstand it. Boss Ma stepped forward. Let’s negotiate. I estimate that Ali will definitely focus on making strategic investments in a large number of private express delivery companies in the future. Only in this way can all those messy express delivery companies be protected under Ali’s wings, and Ali will protect them.”

Zhou Buqi praised him, "Okay, there is progress, he has quite a strategic vision."

Meng Houkun laughed and said, "It's impossible if we don't make progress. I have to work harder. When you step down, I will have to step up and become the chairman of the board of directors!"
