Chapter 487 Chat Red Packet is online, BAT is in panic!

However, this time, even if Tencent starts the ride-hailing business, it is estimated that it will not spend a lot of money.

There is no other reason. In the past, Didi and Kuaidi both took a 30% commission, which was profitable. That is why Tencent and Alibaba spent huge amounts of money on subsidies in order to grab market share.

After all, the money spent now will be earned back in the future.

But now, Wang Yi has lowered the commission rate to 20% from the beginning, which directly lowered the profits of the entire industry.

The taxi industry started out in an era of small profits.

In the era of small profits, there is no possibility of making big profits at all, and Tencent will lose the motivation to burn money.

As for the current losses, will we make them back after going public in the future?
This is also difficult.

Amap Taxi already has hundreds of millions of users, and Tencent Taxi has not yet been launched, so it is difficult for users to catch up with Amap.

Without sufficient user scale, going public would be nonsense.

What's more, the taxi industry is so sensitive that it is difficult to go public.

In this way, the possibility of Tencent burning money on ride-hailing is much smaller.

More importantly, Tencent Maps is just getting started, so forget about Tencent Taxi in the short term.

Whether it can be done in the future is a question.

Even if Tencent’s ride-hailing business becomes successful, Wang Yi doesn’t mind, as long as it doesn’t burn money on subsidies.

Without burning money on subsidies, everyone can make money, even if it is only tens of billions a year, it is still profit.

Once you burn money on subsidies, you will lose money, billions a year.

It would be meaningless if both sides ended up losing.

If the situation really develops to that point, Wang Yi will have to talk to Mr. Ma.

No one spends money, competes moderately, and develops harmoniously.

There is no need to burn money on subsidies, which will only hurt both sides. In the end, in order to recover the losses, prices will have to be raised and the losses will be transferred to users.

"Chairman, Tencent Maps has shown its sword, and we won't respond at all?" Jian Ziyan asked again.

"No response, our battlefield is not here."

Wang Yi smiled slightly and changed the subject: "Notify the chat department to prepare to show their swords and defeat WeChat!"

Things like maps and taking taxis are just small aspects.

Even if Tencent took action, Wang Yi would ignore it.

On the contrary, chatting with red envelopes is Wang Yi’s trump card, the trump card that will completely get rid of WeChat!

The gap between the user scale of Changliao and WeChat is getting bigger and bigger now, but if we want to defeat WeChat, we still need an opportunity.

After all, WeChat wouldn't be stupid enough to come up with a suicidal feature like "messages have been read", so Wang Yi could only create opportunities himself.

And chatting about red envelopes is that opportunity, the opportunity to completely get rid of WeChat.

This is also the reason why the Changchat department has to work overtime and take a few days off later.

Tencent headquarters.

Mr. Ma and other core senior executives as well as Tencent employees are still on the job.

President Ma stood in front of the window, looking at the capital city shrouded in fog, and couldn't help asking, "Xingyi Technology hasn't responded yet?"

"not yet."

"Where's Goddard?"

“There was no response.”

"How could this happen?" Mr. Ma was confused. "Tencent Maps was launched with such force and was exported to the market, but Xingyi Technology and AutoNavi didn't respond at all. This is not normal."

“Chairman, could it be because they are all on holiday? After all, today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.” said the vice president.

Another senior executive also agreed, "That should be the case. Xingyi Technology had a very early holiday. After the annual meeting on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, they started their annual holiday. They were one of the earliest ones."

Many large companies’ annual holidays start with the Spring Festival. In other words, everyone has to go to work on New Year’s Eve.

In addition, there is no New Year's Eve this year, so most companies will not be closed until the afternoon of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Companies like Tencent that can take a holiday on the afternoon of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month are considered to be very lucky.

As for Xingyi Technology, it started its holiday in the afternoon of the 11th day of the twelfth lunar month and lasted until the seventh day of the first lunar month, a total of days, which was considered very generous.

Even the big BTA manufacturers can’t do it, so don’t even think about it.

"Could it be because they are all on holiday?" Mr. Ma was also stunned.

This pace is totally unlike that of the BAT companies.

Which big company is willing to take a holiday on the afternoon of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month and play at home on the 26th...

"That should be the case. I heard an employee complain anonymously today. He said that Xingyi Technology had an early holiday and they were envious. They also greeted our management and said that all the students from Xingyi Technology had returned home, but he hadn't bought a ticket yet..."

Ma Dong's mouth twitched: "!!!"

Without Xingyi Technology, Tencent would have taken a holiday on the afternoon of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone felt that it was quite conscientious compared to other companies that took a holiday on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

With Xingyi Technology, they have a holiday on the afternoon of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, while Tencent has a holiday on the afternoon of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, which has been criticized.

It can only be said that there is no harm without comparison.

Director Ma shook his head. "Something is wrong. It's very wrong. Even if Xingyi Technology is on holiday, there should be someone on duty, right? It's impossible that there was no response at all. This is not in line with Director Wang's style."

"This..." The subordinates also fell silent.

The vice president nodded: "Yes, Director Wang has always been vigorous and resolute in his work. He always takes action quickly and strikes back quickly. This shouldn't be the case."

Mr. Ma nodded: "It is indeed abnormal."

Another executive laughed and said, "Wang Yi is a young man after all. Maybe he thinks it's Chinese New Year and he should just relax and not bother with anything?"

"Is that so?" Mr. Ma frowned and sighed, "Forget it, forget it. Tencent Maps was successfully released today, and tomorrow is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the plan, we will start the holiday tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes!"

The vice president and senior executives turned and left, but Mr. Ma looked at the thick fog outside the window, feeling increasingly uncertain.

I always feel that this is not Wang Yi's style.

I even had a bad feeling.

It was not until 3pm that Xingyi Technology still did not respond. Only then did Mr. Ma breathe a sigh of relief:
"It seems that Wang Yi really wants to spend the New Year peacefully and is too lazy to respond. I should also relax. This year has been really..."

Mr. Ma hesitated for a moment and said, "This year has not been very good, but it is still much better than Alibaba and Baidu. Baidu, in particular, has suffered horribly. Baidu Search and Baidu Maps have both been hit hard. Alibaba is not doing well either. Its O2O layout has problems, its e-commerce has also encountered a crisis, and Xingyi Technology's Double shopping festival has also had a significant impact on Alibaba."

Thinking of this, Mr. Ma finally smiled.

We are not afraid of having a hard time, as long as our competitors have a harder time.

The next day, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xingyi Technology still did not take any action.

Thanks to Tencent’s promotion, Tencent Maps was on the hot search list for two consecutive days, attracted some attention, and added two million new users, which was a good start.

In addition, the next day was New Year’s Eve, and all departments of Tencent started their annual holiday.

Some people left in the morning to catch the train, while others went to the airport at noon.

By the afternoon, there were only a handful of staff on duty at the huge Tencent headquarters.

Even Mr. Ma and other senior executives returned home.

Similarly, Baidu and Alibaba also start their holidays on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

There is no New Year's Eve this year, but any company with any dignity will not delay its holiday until New Year's Eve.

Employees will be allowed to go home one day in advance to celebrate New Year’s Eve!

However, just after the BAT giants took holidays and their employees left, Xingyi Technology made a big move.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Changliao began to push the new 3.0 version.

At this time, most people are at home eating, playing cards, and connected to WiFi, and Changchat will automatically upgrade to version 3.0.

A pop-up window will pop up to remind you when the traffic is low:
【Happy New Year! Chat 3.0 is upgraded and red envelopes are launched. From now on, even though we are thousands of miles apart, we can still send our love through red envelopes.】

【There are also many ways to play, such as group red envelopes, lucky red envelopes, etc., welcome to experience. 】

It is also accompanied by a short video on how to play with red envelopes, so that users can quickly learn how to send and grab red envelopes.

Now, hundreds of millions of Changchat users have become interested and have upgraded their experience.

Many people directly opened the family group and started sending group red envelopes.

Jeju, Gyeongwoon County.

Wu Kai was holding an Xphone 2, dyed with colorful hair, with a complicated look on his face:
"Chatting about red envelopes? Wang Yi... no, Mr. Wang, has come up with something interesting again!"

I immediately opened the family group, clicked on the red envelope, entered "100", hesitated for a moment, and added a zero "1000"!
Edited text [Xiaokai wishes everyone good fortune and everything goes well. ]

Then send it to the family group and try your luck.

Instantly, the whole group went wild.

The young people all knew what was going on and started scrambling for the red envelopes.

The sound of whooshing is endless.

The older ones reacted a little slower, but they also subconsciously opened the red envelope.

Users who have already upgraded are enjoying great benefits, while those who have not upgraded can only watch helplessly, fearing that all the products will be snapped up, so they upgrade immediately.

Soon, all the lucky red envelopes worth one thousand yuan were snatched up, and everyone started to speak:
"I got 58! Thanks to Xiaokai."

"I got 76! Thanks to Xiaokai!"

"I'm 32, thank you nephew."

Wu Kai grinned and replied: [Grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, I am a young man and don’t have much money. This is my little gift. I wish you all a happy new year! ]

Seeing Wu Kai like this, the uncles and aunts felt embarrassed to not show any appreciation, so they followed suit and gave out red envelopes.

It’s just that Wu Kai, a junior, gave out red envelopes of 500 yuan. How could these adults feel comfortable giving out yuan?

That must be more.

After all, Wu Kai's relatives are all in business, and most of them are doing well.

In our parents’ generation, people paid great attention to matching the social status of the two families, so both families were similar.

They also value mutual support. If the second uncle does well in business, he will bring his eldest uncle and third uncle to work with him.

So everyone started sending red envelopes, and the amount increased from one thousand to 5000!

After all, there are four generations in the family group, totaling more than thirty people.

With the elderly around, how could I lose face?

Definitely bet 5000 and try your luck!

"Haha, I really fell for it!"

"Small investment brings big gains, how clever I am!" Wu Kai was delighted and quickly grabbed the red envelope. After some operations, Wu Kai sent out a red envelope of 1000 yuan and got back more than 3000 yuan!
Wu Kai was in a good mood, and he opened his uncle's family group and repeated the operation...

Then he opened Lin Ziyi's chat box and sent a message: [Ziyi, there will be a fireworks show at the stadium tomorrow night, let's go watch it together. ]

But Lin Ziyi did not reply.

Wu Kai waited for five minutes and sent a red envelope: [Happy New Year, Ziyi.]

This time, Lin Ziyi replied: [Thank you, you are happy too. ]

Then I received the red envelope.

Wu Kai was delighted: [Ziyi, are you going tomorrow night? ]

Lin Ziyi said calmly: [Let’s talk about it later. I’m going to take a shower. ]

Wu Kai's mouth twitched: "..."

All his previous pride was gone. After two years of college, he already understood the meaning of "take a shower."

Wu Kai was furious, and immediately sent a message: [Ziyi, you look down on me, Wu Kai, but Wang Yi also looks down on you! Are you still persistent? ]

Lin Ziyi replied with an ellipsis: [……]

Wu Kai was a bit desperate: [Ziyi, why do you have to make things difficult for a dog who is a licker? Can you please look back at me? ]

Lin Ziyi's expression was a bit complicated, and she replied: [It's different, you still have my contact information, you can still lick me. I don't even have his contact information, so I can't lick him. ]

Wu Kai's face instantly turned red: "Oh my god!"

In a rage, he smashed the Xphone 2 in his hand!

Lin Ziyi opened a new chat message, and it was another New Year's red envelope sent by another licker...

"Balance +200!"

……

Such scenes are happening all over the country.

Some people are sending red envelopes, and some people are receiving red envelopes.

Some people started grabbing red envelopes while eating.

Seeing this, those users who did not use Changliao started downloading and registering for Changliao in order to grab the red envelopes.

There's nothing you can do about it, it's human nature to be greedy for small gains.

If you get a red envelope and want to open it, you have to bind your bank card and activate Changchat payment!
Not surprisingly, Chat Red Packets became popular!
The number of Changchat users also began to surge, and the number of Changchat payment users increased even more rapidly!
The linkage effect of red envelopes is beginning to explode!
Zhang Long, the father of WeChat, also experienced the gameplay of Changchat and was immediately shocked. He quickly called Chairman Ma and said, "Chairman, something big has happened!"

"What's wrong?" Mr. Ma immediately became alert: "Did Gao De make a move?"

"No, Gao De didn't do anything."

"God didn't make a move, so what big thing happened?"

"Xingyi Technology has taken action, Changliao has taken action!"

"What! Changliao took action?" Mr. Ma's face changed drastically.

What are you afraid of?
This made him more worried than Godel taking action.

Tencent Maps is just a new business, so even if it fails, the loss won’t be huge.

But social networking is Tencent’s core business and a pillar industry. If something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble.

Especially nowadays, WeChat has been defeated by Changliao, and even QQ is facing a formidable enemy.

Now that Changliao has taken action again, we are in real trouble.

"What's going on? What's going on with Changliao again?" Mr. Ma couldn't help but ask.

"Chairman, Changliao has launched a new game called red envelopes!"

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Mr. Ma hung up the phone, opened the package and checked it, his face changed drastically.

Chatting about red envelopes has become a hot topic!

[Changchat releases an epic innovative feature - Changchat red envelope! ]

[Despite the distance, I still send you my love through red envelopes! 】

【Send red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, use Changliao Red Envelopes! 】

After this experience, Mr. Ma was even more shocked, his expression was extremely complicated:
“Online red envelopes!”

"Mad, what kind of ingenious design is this?"

“Why can’t we on WeChat come up with such a good idea?”

Mr. Ma immediately understood the characteristics and creativity of the chat red envelope, and was immediately shocked. He quickly called together the core senior management and held an emergency video conference:
"Everyone has seen the red envelope function, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Long was the first to speak: "Once the Changchat red envelope function is released, Changchat will be unbeatable. WeChat will never be able to surpass Changchat!"

“Is it that powerful?” The vice president was shocked.

"Of course, let alone WeChat is no longer a match for Changchat, I'm afraid even QQ may not be able to withstand this wave of attacks from Changchat." Zhang Long said solemnly:

"Currently, Changchat has over 4 million users. Now that the red envelopes are released, I'm afraid it will reach 6 million users in less than half a year. It will reach million users in a year, and then it will surpass QQ."

"This..." All the senior executives were shocked.

Some people also found it incredible: "Mr. Zhang, are you exaggerating? It's just a new function, how can it be so scary?"

"Whether it will happen or not, you can find out by looking at the public opinion on the Internet!" Zhang Long sighed.

These people have no vision and fail to see the destructive power of red envelope chats at all!

But as the father of WeChat, Zhang Long knows best how powerful the red envelope function is.

Mr. Ma also said in a deep voice: "Open your phones and check the public opinion."

Everyone followed suit, and the online public opinion was full of praise:
"The chat function is awesome, and the red envelope function, what kind of creative idea is this?"

"When I went home for the Chinese New Year, I had to withdraw cash and prepare red envelopes to give to my younger generations. If I prepared too many or too few red envelopes, it would be a problem. It was very troublesome. Now it's much better. I can just send them in the family group."

"That's right, I'm just sending out red envelopes this year. It saves time and effort."

"I really like the red envelope function. Before, I could only send red envelopes, which was a net loss. Now I can also grab red envelopes, which makes me earn a little bit."

"The chat red envelope function is great. Once a red envelope is sent out, the quiet class group becomes lively."

"No one in my family understands. When I was a kid and could receive red envelopes, red envelopes were not popular in my hometown. Now red envelopes are popular in my hometown, and I am fucking grown up and have become the one to send out red envelopes. Now it's good, I can also grab red envelopes in the chat group and make up for my childhood regrets."

"I sent three red packets of 200 yuan to my dad, and he posted it on his Moments with the caption 'my son has grown up.' My uncle silently liked it and @ed my unfilial cousin."

"Hahaha, this is so funny, the chat about red envelopes has made the family group very popular."

"It's fun to try your luck. It doesn't matter how much. It's just a token of my appreciation."

"I can't go home for the Chinese New Year this year, so I sent six red envelopes to my parents as a token of my appreciation. Thanks for the wonderful chat."

"I had a fight with my partner, and we reconciled over a red envelope. That was great."

"Our boss is very generous. He just sent out 10 lucky red packets of 1000 yuan in the work group. I got 276 yuan. So cool!"

……

Looking at these opinions, the vice president was silent for a long time before he said:
“I didn’t expect that ChangLiao Red Packets would be so popular. It’s only been online for a few hours and so many people have already started playing and sending red packets.”

"This is the power of Xingyi Technology." Mr. Ma sighed: "With the red envelope function, Changliao can go a step further and threaten QQ."

Zhang Long nodded: "Xingyi Technology automatically upgrades and pushes reminders to remind users that the chat red envelope function is online and that they can send red envelopes online. Most people will upgrade their experience."

"Once one person has experienced it, they will share it with their friends and family and send them red envelopes. Friends and family will also download and experience it."

"Many users who originally didn't use Changliao registered for Changliao, bound their bank cards, started using Changliao payment, and joined various groups just to grab the red envelopes!"

"What's even worse is that many WeChat users have started using Changliao in order to chat about red envelopes!"

"The red envelope function will inevitably have a devastating impact on our WeChat."

President Ma nodded and said, "Yes, Xingyi Technology has so many talented people that they can come up with such a brilliant idea."

"Chairman, the red envelope function is too powerful. We need to develop WeChat as well as it as soon as possible." The vice president said, "Not only WeChat, but also QQ needs to be developed as soon as possible!"

Director Ma nodded and said, "Okay, start developing it immediately. We will quickly organize a team to work overtime and come up with the red envelope function in the shortest possible time and launch it online."

Zhang Long was a little embarrassed: "Chairman, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and our employees are all on holiday and going home!"

"Damn it!" Mr. Ma couldn't help but swear.

Yes, it’s holiday, where would people come from?
I figured everything out: "Wang Yi released the chat red envelope function the night before New Year's Eve, just to wait until we were all on holiday and all the employees went home, so there was no one to organize a team to tackle the problem!"

Others also suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, Wang Yi is too shameless."

"Damn it! It will be the eighth day of the Lunar New Year when I return from the New Year holiday. It will be too late to implement the red envelope function by then!"

"Yes, Wang Yi is too mean. He did this just in time for the New Year, completely killing WeChat and severely damaging QQ."

For a moment, everyone was extremely angry, but there was nothing they could do.

Mr. Ma looked at Zhang Long and said, "Mr. Zhang, can we let our employees develop at home?"

Zhang Long frowned. "Chairman, it's difficult. It's very difficult. First of all, this kind of new function requires technical research and development, requires breakthroughs, and requires brainstorming. It's easier to do it in the company, but it's difficult at home."

"Secondly, the employees have gone home for the New Year. If they are asked to hold video conferences and stay up late to develop the red envelope function during the New Year, many people will resist and be passive and lazy."

"Third, the family situations of employees vary greatly. Many employees have come from remote areas and have studied abroad. When they return to their hometowns for the Spring Festival, they may not even have internet access. It is difficult to hold a video conference, let alone develop new programs."

"This..." Mr. Ma was silent: "Wang Yi is such a shameless guy. He had planned all this long ago."

"Shameless, really shameless."

"That's not right. Didn't Xingyi Technology have a holiday on the evening of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month after the annual meeting? Didn't everyone leave? How can you still post a chat?"

"I just checked. At Xingyi Technology headquarters, all employees are on holiday, leaving only those on shift. But all the staff in Changliao department are on duty. In addition, Changliao headquarters is in Meiyu Technology Park in Jeju, which is far away, so we don't know the situation clearly."

Zhang Long was helpless.

"So that's how it is." Mr. Ma suddenly realized.

Everyone's attention is on the Xingyi Technology headquarters in the imperial capital, but Wang Yi has placed the Changliao R&D team in Jeju!
Whatever big moves are made, Tencent has no idea as they are so far away.

And this is exactly what Wang Yi intended.

The development team of Changliao is still the original development team of Mayu, Cai Zisong’s team.

He is also Wang Yi's old subordinate and the most trusted person.

Therefore, Changliao’s headquarters was moved to the Mayu Technology Park in Jeju!
Now it just happens to be concealed.

"How long will it take to make a red envelope?"

Zhang Long thought for a while and said, "The red envelope function needs comprehensive research and development, plus we need to develop iOS, Android, and WP8. It will probably take about a month and a half. If we start after the New Year, it is expected to be launched at the end of March."
