Standing on the commanding heights of his previous life and along the timeline of the entire 21st century, Ning Zimo could no longer find any Internet product that could be used throughout the whole process except instant messaging software.
If this product is given a name that can be used as a reference, looking at the country, no software other than QQ can take on this important responsibility.
This software, which was born in 1998, played an important role in the lives of every generation of Internet users in the previous life. Until the year before my own rebirth, even powerful software such as WeChat did not completely replace its historical position.
Investigating the essence, it is because QQ has achieved the ultimate in user stickiness in the process of its development. The basis of this user stickiness has a competitive relationship with all related businesses of its own "One Number Pass".
Coupled with the characteristics of the Internet, there has always been no room for two tigers in one mountain! Therefore, no matter how the main focus is on the expansion of overseas markets, in the domestic market, there will be a battle between Emperor Penguin and Tencent.
Since it is inevitable,
It’s better to plan as early as possible.
After all, the current Tencent QQ is not absolutely unshakable, and the instant messaging war that is about to happen next year will also lead to the chaos of the Warring States Period in the social software field.
At the same time, the domestic social field will have to wait until WeChat comes out in the future to expand the pattern to a larger one. Zhang Xiaolong is already on his side, so it is better to let instant messaging in the social field play a greater value in his own hands!
Or maybe, use your strength to prove who updates!
Anyway, Emperor Penguin wants to take root in the domestic social field.
Whether it is in the personal field or the business field, Emperor Penguin has to be tough with both hands!
Only in this way can we give people in this life,
Earlier and faster brings a bigger picture!
…
"Feixun focuses on the social network community, and DingTalk focuses on the business application community. These two major user groups will respectively expand the business of Taobao and Ali Baba International Station.
Especially DingTalk, it will combine corporate email, corporate Duobao Box, and enterprise version of LinkedIn business to connect the needs of business users with DingTalk. If the supply and demand relationship of e-commerce is integrated, it will inevitably transform the global network.
Users are as connected as possible…”
Although a domestic strategy for instant messaging has been formulated, for Ning Zimo, the most important territory is always global. Otherwise, what is the point of just competing with Tengxun?
After a pause, Ning Zimo continued, "I hope that through the b2b business of e-commerce, domestic and foreign companies will have smoother communication channels, and in a sense, we can achieve something similar to what you mentioned, 'Make the world easy to do.
's business' purpose..."
Looking at Ning Zimo with the corner of his mouth raised, Ma Yun never expected that the concept he had proposed would be supported by Ning Zimo again.
Because she values the relationship with corporate users, Ma Yun listened very carefully when Ning Zimo introduced the software DingTalk.
Ma Yun has a great sense of identification with the software DingTalk. When she hears the words "make it easy to do business in the world" from Ning Zimo's mouth, Ma Yun always feels extremely comfortable in her heart.
That is a kind of recognition, and it is also a kind of recognition of recognizing heroes and valuing heroes!
Don’t worry about the road ahead without friends.
Who in the world doesn’t know you!
In the more advanced fields, there are still people who think the same as him, Ma Yun Hero!
"good!"
Ma Yun clapped her thighs and stood up immediately. His brows were furrowed, but it was not as ugly as when he encountered a problem. It was more of a serious and rigorous thought.
Ma Yun paced back and forth in front of the coffee table. After two or three back and forth, he stopped and said, "Although when I first heard that you were going to do instant messaging, I wasn't sure whether you wanted to copy Skype. But listen to you.
After dismantling DingTalk in such detail, I discovered that you are actually preparing to play a bigger game through the layout of the social field.
This game of chess even takes us, Ah Li, into consideration. But after much thought, I can’t find any reason for me to refuse you. Because your proposal is a proposal that benefits both sides!”
"Layout has a lot to do with structure. If I just want to make money, I have many ways. But if I want to create a large ecological environment, I feel that no one is better at such a thing than me!"
Ning Zimo smiled and waved to Ma Yun, "You'd better sit down and let's talk slowly. You can't let me stand up and talk to you, right?"
Ning Zimo made a gesture to stand up. When Ma Yun saw his movement, she unconsciously thought of his size.
Pouting her lips, Ma Yun could only return to her seat helplessly.
Seeing Ma Yun sit down, Ning Zimo said, "Next, I will talk to you about something of far-reaching significance. Because I just mentioned the cooperation between Feixun, DingTalk and Ali, these two projects are inseparable from each other.
The emperor penguins are of greater help, so I will naturally find some compensation and give it back to Ahri."
???
How did Ning Zimo know what he was thinking? Ma Yun was very curious!
Although he and Ning Zimo had just reached a consensus on "recognizing heroes and valuing heroes" on some points, he also thought that the cooperation between Feixun and DingTalk would indeed be more advantageous for Emperor Penguin.
Just from his perspective, I didn't think of any incision to mention. But I didn't expect that Ning Zimo would say what he was embarrassed about.
Looking at the confused Ma Yun, Ning Zimo leaned back and said, "All online businesses under Emperor Penguin will be officially integrated with Alipay's online payment business after Emperor Penguin fully invests in Ali Baba.
Payment interface for docking.
Feixun, DingTalk, Luban ERP, Coolplay Platform, Wegame, etc. All online payment functions of Emperor Penguin’s platform businesses will fully cooperate with Alipay. Through our cooperation, we can open up more business areas and use commercial applications.
A practical way to help Alipay open up the payment process!"
When Ning Zimo opened the lid, Ma Yun's eyes stared at him motionlessly. Until he said the last word, Ma Yun's eyes widened with a look of disbelief!
After pretending to be too much, Ma Yun saw that Cai Chongxin's face next to her also had rich colors.
There was only a brief exchange of eyes between the two people, and then they heard Ning Zimo's voice coming over again.
"To make the business environment better, the best way is to make money more circulated. But vested interests will never take the initiative to break the status quo. Before the emergence of Alipay, the entire domestic banking market was vested interests.
, and it is still a monopoly industry.”
Ning Zimo raised his chin and said, "For small and medium-sized enterprises, the current business supporting facilities cannot reach the environment of 'making it easy to do business anywhere in the world'. Rather than letting this stagnant water just slowly surge, why don't we
I want to think of ways to push it forward. Therefore, I want to take some practical actions to accelerate the development of the entire business environment."
In the previous life, until 2010, before the country's third-party payment license was officially issued, state-owned banks had always controlled a large amount of funds. At this time, banks were far less flexible than private enterprises. Their relatively solid model resulted in a relatively solid
Such a business environment is not conducive to the overall development of society at all.
"The current focus of banks' services is always on 5%-10% of high-net-worth customers. Not to mention how unattainable personal financial management is, just talking about the loan business needed for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises has set up a very high level.
threshold.
This also makes the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises that grow flowers always subject to the overall business environment. But for any country, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is actually a very important part in promoting the development of the national economy. Therefore, the current business environment must always be
There is a game-breaker."
Ning Zimo said word for word, "I am optimistic about Ali Baba, and I also appreciate Ali's decision to establish Alipay as an independent company. Therefore, we Emperor Penguin will use practical actions to support Ali to develop Alipay. Let Alipay become the stirring moment."
This stagnant water is a new force to break the monopoly.
Only when this force gradually develops stronger will the pool of water come alive and the monopolist make changes. And when the monopolist makes changes, the entire business environment will become more flexible and the monopoly will be able to make changes.
It will make the market lively."
Spreading his hands, Ning Zimo smiled again and said, "Let Alipay raise the service standards and technical capabilities of the entire financial industry, so that people can truly see what good services should look like.
Since the banks are not changing at present, we will change the banks. Since commercial institutions are always pursuing profits, let them realize that only by pleasing users can they make money, and let them see the benefits generated and be motivated."
After being reborn, it is impossible to change the past, but it is important to change yourself and the people around you.
But wouldn’t it be more interesting if you had the ability to promote the development of a country?
It’s unclear whether this idea is just a mayfly or an overestimation of one’s capabilities, but how can one say no if you don’t give it a try?
Ning Zimo looked at Ma Yun and Cai Chongxin, and saw that their faces were visibly excited because of his words.
Taking advantage of this momentum, Ning Zimo struck a chord while the iron was hot, "I have told you that the Emperor Penguins will definitely form a strategic alliance with Ahri. The so-called strategic alliance means mutual benefit. Therefore, in addition to forming a strategic alliance with Ahri in these fields, the Emperor Penguins will
In addition to the cooperative relationship, a sum of funds will be injected!”
After a pause, Ning Zimo hung Teacher Ma in the air with great interest.
It wasn't until there was a slightly impatient look on his face that Ning Zimo said firmly, "1.2 billion US dollars. Emperor Penguin will use this money in exchange for 40% of the shares you are willing to release. I have two requirements and one promise for this money."
!”
"What requirements and promises?" Ma Yun's eyes flashed.
This was the moment he had been waiting for for a long time, and the number even exceeded his expectations, but it was still unknown what those two requirements and a promise were.
Looking at Ma Yun with squinted eyes, Ning Zimo said calmly, "The first request is that I hope that the original Ali Baba share holders will not cash out more than 600 million!"
In Ali’s fourth financing in the previous life, including Masayoshi Son, Ali’s management and other shareholders, a total of US$750 million was cashed out. In other words, of the US$1 billion Yahoo invested in Ahri in the previous life, only US$250 million was actually used.
The development of Ahri.
