Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

Chapter 155 The irresistible force

Jack Ma was unhappy.

Make your attitude clear right from the start: What do you mean by replacing the original mobile payment system?
Are you protecting me?

Or are you guarding against me?
At the same time, he did not hide his actions of monitoring the WeChat payment system through background data.

"Mr. Ma is overthinking it. When we commissioned your company to design a payment system for WeChat, we agreed that it was just a temporary situation."

Luo Hui did not flinch.

Zi Guzi explained: "Since it was agreed at the time that it was a stopgap measure, it was only a matter of time before WeChat designed its own mobile payment function."

"Since the payment system provided by your company cannot meet the requirements of WeChat, it is reasonable to replace it."

"Why is Mr. Ma angry?"

"It is true that you are a shareholder of WeChat, but you have no decision-making power or the right to determine the development direction of WeChat."

"If my guess is correct, the domestic mobile payment license will be issued in the second half of next year, and WeChat and Alipay will be the biggest competitors by then."

“I can’t just watch WeChat use Alipay’s mobile payment system and remain indifferent, right?”

Markets are like battlefields.

God knows what ulterior motives you have behind secretly monitoring the WeChat payment system. It makes sense to take precautions in advance.

If you feel uncomfortable.

easy to do.

You can divest!

WeChat now has enough financial resources to take back the shares it originally sold.

"Mr. Luo, such a big thing as replacing the payment system must at least be approved by the board of directors, right? It's true that you founded WeChat, but you have to take care of the interests of shareholders. Otherwise, who will be willing to raise funds from WeChat in the future?"

Jack Ma, who was defeated by an army, had a clear idea and did not give up his shares as Luo Hui expected, but instead highlighted his shareholder rights.

"Mr. Ma is right. As the core system of WeChat, the payment function cannot be placed in the hands of the largest competitor. Designing and controlling the core subsystem independently is to protect the interests of the majority of shareholders. Do you think I am right? "

"Okay, okay, okay, Mr. Luo is really wise."

"Mr. Ma's reward is for the benefit of shareholders."

"..."

It's time to break up!

Looking at Jack Ma's mischievous smile on the phone screen, Luo Hui knew clearly that the love period between the two parties had passed.

Next, he could no longer rely on Jack Ma's power.

WeChat has also completely gotten rid of Jack Ma's influence and has to prepare to face the storms from all sides alone.

At this point, it would be pointless to continue talking.

You can't trash talk each other, right?
Too cheap.

After a few simple polite words, both parties hung up the video call harmoniously.

"Mr. Luo, is it time to pay attention to the trends of Jackma's companies?"

Fu Tao, who witnessed the quarrel between the two bosses, asked with a wink.

She is very smart.

Also very alert.

Unexpectedly, Luo Hui waved his hand disapprovingly: "Ignore him. Before the domestic mobile payment license is issued, we have no direct conflict with him, and there will not be any danger for the time being."

Neither WeChat nor the several apps being prepared by ByteDance have any intention of entering the online shopping platform.

Jack Ma is not crazy enough to sell his shares in WeChat and voluntarily give up high-quality traffic portals with brilliant prospects.

not to mention.

At this time, WeChat has already opened up the international market and occupied a place in the Middle East market, which has the strongest consumption power.

Whoever throws it is stupid!

Therefore, no matter how angry Jackma was in his heart, he had to hold it in obediently.

"Okay, Mr. Shi will come over in half an hour to report on the promotion plan and introduce the general manager of the Middle East branch. If you have no other requirements, I will arrange it this way."

"Okay, let's arrange it like this. You can find a Chinese cook for us when you have time. I can't bear the naan and barbecue these two days. If it's really hard to find, buy some vegetables and we can cook by ourselves."

"I...I won't do it."

"Beauty, you are so disappointing. Fortunately, I can cook. Let's buy vegetables and cooking utensils first. I guess it's hard to find a cook here."

What use do you have to a woman who can’t cook?

Seeing the beautiful secretary leaving in a hurry, Luo Hui felt very hurt.

Not a good boss!

Maybe, you have to cook and eat by yourself.

Before Shi Yuanlong arrived, Luo Hui took a look at WeChat's background data.

The current domestic WeChat download data is very good.

The number of downloads in the Apple App Store has reached 600 million, and the number of downloads in the Android App Store is even more terrifying, reaching the 2000 million threshold.

However, growth was lackluster.

According to the calculations of the marketing department, the current stock market of smartphones is estimated to have been eaten up by WeChat, and it is unlikely that there will be huge growth in a short period of time.

If you want to increase the number of downloads, it all depends on the shipment volume of smartphones.

PC downloads have long since stagnated.

Not only does it stagnate, but a large amount of uninstalled data appears.

As the popularity of the 3Q war continues to decrease, people's dislike of QQ also continues to decrease.

and so.

The vast majority of original QQ users chose to uninstall WeChat and continue to use QQ.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, most Internet social groups are concentrated on QQ, and WeChat, which has risen in a short period of time, cannot quickly replace it.

It is reasonable to see a large amount of uninstalled data.

If you want to change this situation, you still have to look at the growth rate of smartphone sales.Smartphones are WeChat’s main battlefield.

But there is also good news.

According to monitoring data, more and more companies have established WeChat work groups and are reducing communication costs through WeChat groups.

This kind of user group is WeChat’s strongest supporter.

"Mr. Luo, this is the general manager of the Middle East Branch, Mr. Ali Hussein."

Shi Yuanlong did not report directly to the company after entering the company. He first introduced the newly hired general manager of the branch.

"Hello there!"

Luo Hui stood up warmly, shook hands with the newly hired general manager of the branch, and invited his two subordinates to sit down and drink tea.

Regarding Hussein's identity, he received his resume and related information when he was in Shanghai.

simply put.

This man was born from a noble family and was deeply loved by the chief's old father. However, because he was not the eldest son and had no right to inherit the chief, he had always been outside the core of the emirate's rights.

But he is not a prodigal son.

Unlike those prodigal sons who only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day, this prince is a very ambitious person.

Wealth is basically used to start a business - lose money - start a business - lose money in a cycle that cannot be extricated.

He can be regarded as a strange person in the business world who has experienced repeated defeats.

Fortunately, the bottom of the house is thick enough.

After failing to start a business more than a dozen times, he was still able to maintain a decent life.

It’s just that I don’t dare to start a business easily anymore.

After hearing about WeChat's entry into the Middle East market, he immediately contacted Shi Yuanlong and expressed his willingness to serve as the general manager of WeChat's Middle East branch.

No salary required.

You can also make connections with many people to contribute to the rapid promotion of WeChat.

There is only one purpose: to learn how to run a business that does not lose money.

There is another purpose that I am too embarrassed to say out loud - to put an end to the glorious fighter plane that has suffered repeated defeats, and to add a layer of golden light of victory to my resume.

Be a man.

You can't keep failing.

It's too embarrassing.

The key is to not continue to be embarrassed in the prince circle.

Luo Hui likes to use this kind of free employees very much, and immediately agreed to the request after receiving Shi Yuanlong's report.

Now that he finally saw me, he looked at me very carefully.

I have to say that the genes of rich people are really strong.

Ali Hussein's facial features are very three-dimensional, and his brown pupils and deep-set eye sockets are very handsome.

The mustache is also very well groomed.

From the looks of it, you should spend no less than an hour a day on your beard.

It is probably related to the continuous genetic optimization of the chief's family for more than ten generations.

After looking at it for a moment, he suddenly said: "His Royal Highness Ali Hussein, before we officially start working, let's discuss a question: why do the businesses you started fail continuously?"

"Mr. Luo, it is my honor to receive your guidance."

Ali Hussein was not embarrassed because the big boy in front of him was more than ten years younger than him, and expressed his position very humbly.

"I have read His Highness's information. Entrepreneurship projects are basically concentrated in the field of technology. There are biopharmaceuticals, sports car research and development, and chip design... well, they are all very money-consuming projects anyway."

"Yes, technology is the future, and the Middle East cannot live without technology companies. Unfortunately, I did not succeed, otherwise it would have changed the international image of Middle Eastern countries."

"You are right, technology is the future, but why didn't you stick to it in the first place? For example, if you can stick to the biopharmaceutical project for three to 50 years, it will definitely bear fruit and eventually recover the cost and achieve profitability."

From the data point of view.

The entrepreneurial failure of Prince Ali Hussein in front of him is simply inexcusable.

rich.

someone.

There is time.

If you continue to work hard in a certain industry, there is basically no possibility of failure.

Money is not a problem at all for major oil producers.

Even though he is just the second son of an inconspicuous little chief in the chiefdom, he is actually a billionaire.

Isn’t supporting a technology company just a joke?

Luo Hui was very confused.

Since His Highness the Prince is willing to spend money on scientific research and has the motivation to continue spending, why should he give up halfway?

"Mr. Luo's vision is really sharp, and he saw the problem so quickly."

Ali Hussein showed a helpless smile while scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

As if he was guarding against something.

Especially when he saw the bald old Liu in the corner, the words he was about to say were swallowed up again quietly.

"Relax, there are no outsiders here, that bald man is my personal bodyguard, and he won't go out and talk nonsense."

Luo Hui sensed something was wrong and hurriedly comforted him.

"Mr. Luo, it's not that I don't want to invest money, but... all the scientific research projects I invest in will be interrupted due to some messy things. After failing more than a dozen times, I finally found out the reason: some people don't want to see control of the Middle East. The power of science and technology will not allow the Middle East to industrialize.”

"If I heard correctly, all the scientific research projects you invest in will be interrupted by external forces?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Is that power irresistible to the Middle East?"

"Yes, you are very smart."
