Chapter 594 Apple made my New Year miserable? Then you will have a miserable New Year every year!
Jack Ma said quietly: "Changchat has the most users, so we can use Changchat links to promote our Laiwang APP. We can set up some Changchat groups, attract new users by sending group links, and promote our Laiwang 6000 million red envelope event to achieve user fission!"

"There is also a WeChat link, which I also use. Although its influence is not as good as the free chat."

"???" Mo Yi was stunned. Since his company didn't have a social platform, he had to use a competitor's? Could he do that?

"Chairman, isn't it a bit unethical to use a competitor's social software to promote your own social software and steal the competitor's users? Will the competitor punish you? It's better to use Weibo. As a major shareholder of Weibo, it's obviously safer for us to use Weibo."

Jack Ma frowned, but he didn't care: "It's not a big problem to use the platform of a competitor. As long as we can get along well, it doesn't matter even if our competitors start to criticize us. As for Weibo?"

Jack Ma smiled coldly: "Weibo's own social networking is poor, and you expect it to be used to promote Laiwang? It's just ridiculous."

"To put it bluntly, the number of users that Weibo can bring to LaiWang is very limited. Moreover, Weibo has too few users. How can it compare to ChangLiao, which has over 600 million monthly active users?"

"This..." Mo Yi was silent. He wanted to say that the chairman was too eager for quick success, but in the end he changed his words and said, "Okay, Chairman, I'll arrange it!"

"Yeah." Jack Ma nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that QQ is still thriving and Changliao is quickly becoming a hit, Jack Ma is becoming more and more anxious.

To this end, huge human and material resources are directly invested in the exchanges.

As for how to do it? It's very simple, just copy it!
Whatever functions Changliao has, you can copy the same functions as Laiwang.

In a word, Alibaba copied all the functions Changliao has. Alibaba also copied all the functions Changliao doesn’t have!
The main thing is to copy the master with random punches.

Then use Changliao to promote Laiwang, and use Changliao red envelope gameplay to achieve Laiwang user fission.

As for offline? What is that?

Can it be eaten or can it be cashed out?

Big Internet companies don’t care about this.

Xingyi Technology Headquarters.

The red envelope method is very powerful. Since the launch of the 3 million Douyin red envelope activity, the number of Douyin users has begun to increase rapidly.

In just 24 hours, 1 million new users were added, bringing Douyin's monthly active users to 5 million!
However, this was just the beginning, and the number of active users of Douyin continued to increase rapidly.

It's just about to reach a bottleneck, and the growth rate is not as fast, but it is still very rapid.

The next day it increased by another 6000 million.

By January 1, Tik Tok’s monthly active users had reached 3 million, catching up with Changliao!
Zhu Changlin was shocked by this: "Chairman, why does it feel like the momentum of Douyin is even more terrifying than Changchat?"

Wang Yi smiled: "This is natural, and it's just the beginning. It will be easy for Douyin to surpass Changchat in the future."

"Why?" Zhu Changlin was a little confused.

Wang Yi did not answer directly, but looked at him: "Think about it, don't think in terms of hardware, think in terms of software."

“Software thinking…”

Zhu Changlin fell into deep thought. He was engaged in hardware research and development and had always been a hardware-minded person.

According to hardware thinking, TikTok was brought about by Changliao, and it should be difficult for it to surpass Changliao.

Although APP is software, software thinking is completely different.

Zhu Changlin changed his mind and his eyes soon lit up: "Chairman, I understand!"

"From a software perspective, the threshold for using TikTok is low and anyone can use it."

"If you want to use the Changchat app well, there is a certain threshold. Even if there is voice input and voice-to-text conversion, many older people don't know how to use it. Especially for the elderly who can't type, it's difficult."

"But TikTok is different. There is no threshold. You can just open it and watch it. If you like it, watch it. If you don't like it, download it. There is no threshold at all."

Wang Yi nodded: "This is one of them."

"Secondly, the main function of the Changchat app is socializing, similar to making phone calls and sending text messages. It is used when needed, but not when nothing is done. But Douyin is different. The main function of Douyin is to watch short videos. It is just entertainment."

“You can play it whenever you are bored, and it is pushed accurately through big data, which pushes content that users are interested in. It is very addictive. The more you use it, the more you get addicted!”

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, these two points are the main reasons. Once you start using TikTok, many people can't stop. Young people are actually not that bad, they have many ways to entertain themselves and have many hobbies, which can help them divert some attention."

"As for some middle-aged and elderly people, they have worked hard all their lives to earn money and support their families, and to be honest, they have not enjoyed much. Now that they encounter TikTok, once they get addicted, they may be unable to stop."

Wang Yi remembered that in his previous life, many parents-in-law would hold their phones and scroll through their belongings while taking care of their sons' children.

As a result, children like playing with mobile phones at a young age.

Within a few years, not only did he become nearsighted, but he also had difficulty concentrating, and the subsequent effects were out of control.

Short videos are actually a bit similar to online games. They are easy to get addicted to.

But there was nothing Wang Yi could do about this. He could only ask people to add "friendly reminders" on Douyin!
When users watch videos continuously for one and a half hours, an eye protection video will appear to remind users to take a break.

But whether users listen or not is up to them.

People will always live the way they choose.

This time, the Douyin red envelope activity not only increased the number of Douyin users, but also the transaction volume of Douyin Mall increased rapidly.

That’s right, to use the discount coupons from Douyin red envelopes, you can place orders directly on Douyin Mall without having to jump to Xingyi Mall or Mayu Mall.

You can place an order directly in the Douyin Mall’s own store within Douyin.

It can also be regarded as a way to attract traffic to the Douyin Mall.

Last year, Douyin Mall was still a vertical e-commerce, with only vertical categories such as Xingyi Mall and Mayu Mall.

But after this period of development, it has gradually begun to upgrade to a comprehensive e-commerce company.

Many third-party brands have begun to settle in and open Douyin brand flagship stores.

This time, the Douyin red envelope activity has made more and more users realize that Douyin Mall is also a comprehensive e-commerce platform that can meet daily consumption needs.

Moreover, all the deliveries are made by Xingyi Logistics, which makes delivery faster.

As for the fact that there are not many merchants?
This is not a big problem. In fact, as long as there are enough categories, that’s enough.

To this end, Wang Yi and Douyin e-commerce people started a video conference:

“Now that Douyin users have exceeded 6 million, we must fully upgrade to a comprehensive e-commerce platform!”

"Start working hard now and become one of the top three in half a year. Do you have the confidence?"

Upon hearing this, all the senior executives of the e-commerce division changed color.

Currently, Douyin e-commerce has just started to develop into a comprehensive e-commerce platform, and it cannot even make it into the top 3, let alone the top 10.

At present, Taobao ranks first, JD.com ranks second, Suning ranks third, Vipshop ranks fourth, Tencent Online Shopping ranks fifth, Gome ranks sixth, Amazon ranks seventh, No.1 Store ranks eighth, Dangdang ranks ninth, and Jumei ranks tenth!
The newly launched Douyin Mall is still ranked more than ten others.

To go from outside the top ten to the top three all of a sudden, this is undoubtedly a dream!

"What? No confidence?" Wang Yi said with a smile.

No one dared to speak.

It was Chen Chuanqing, the president of the e-commerce company, who stood up and said, "Chairman, this is very difficult. After all, we have just started to do comprehensive e-commerce, while other e-commerce platforms have been doing it for many years."

"Although our Xingyi brand, Wujie brand, Meiyou brand, and Zhenyou brand are all very strong, they are only single brands no matter how strong they are. Other e-commerce platforms are all-encompassing, with countless brands and a much larger overall scale than us."

Wang Yi nodded: "Old Chen is right, the overall scale is much larger than ours, but they also have far fewer users than us!"

"Suning, Vipshop, Gome, have less than 50 million monthly active users. JD.com has just over 100 million monthly active users. Taobao + Tmall have less than 300 million. What about Douyin?"

“Our Douyin has 6 million monthly active users!”

"With such a terrifying user base, there is unlimited consumption potential and development potential."

“If Douyin e-commerce fails to succeed and cannot rank among the top three, it is all your responsibility!”

When everyone heard this, their expressions became complicated, but they were unable to refute.

Yes, with 6 million monthly active users, if you can’t beat those with million monthly active users, then you’ve been wasting your time!
I feel even more sorry for the high salary given by Xingyi Technology!
Chen Chuanqing took a deep breath and said, "The chairman is right. With such a large user base, it would be unreasonable for us not to defeat those e-commerce platforms!"

“That’s right! The reason why Douyin Mall can’t be ranked in the top 3 is because we don’t have the ability!”

Others also spoke one after another:
"Chairman, rest assured, we have all pledged that within half a year, Douyin Mall will definitely be among the top three!"

"We must be in the top three. If we can't do it, our year-end bonuses will be deducted and we will be fired!"

"With such an advantageous user base and resources, if we can't make it happen, we'll all be useless!"

Seeing this, Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I will give you half a year. 618 is your first battle, and you must be in the top 5. In terms of monthly transaction volume in July, you must be in the top 3! Are you confident?"

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

"Okay, that's it. We'll see the result in half a year!" Wang Yi said, "Next, you all need to think about how to make Douyin e-commerce a success. Think of ways to do it. Just bragging is useless."

Everyone nodded and fell into deep thought.

Chen Chuanqing spoke first, and seemed to have been prepared:

"Chairman, I suggest that brands and businesses leverage the advantages of our Douyin to start live streaming to boost sales and generate revenue."

Wang Yi nodded: "That's no problem. Live streaming is one of the core elements of our Douyin."

Chen Chuanqing continued: "In addition, we can also learn from JD.com's self-operated model and introduce brands to join the self-operated model. However, the difference is that we do not need to build large warehouses across the country, and we do not need to store all the brands' products in our warehouses in various places and then ship them all at once."

"On the contrary, we ship directly from the brand warehouse and use our Xingyi Logistics. Although the timeliness is not as good as JD.com, it is still much faster than Taobao Tmall."

Wang Yi nodded: "In the initial stage, we have limited energy, so we can do this. But in the later stage, we still need to build large warehouses in various places to create a next-day delivery time."

Sometimes, it takes three or four days for something I buy to arrive, which really wastes my time.

On the contrary, next-day delivery or even same-day delivery would be much more convenient.

Especially when it is urgent, you just can’t wait.

"Okay, then we'll make the transition first, and then we'll build warehouses across the country!" Chen Chuanqing responded, "That's perfect, we can expand based on our Meiyou and Xingyi warehouses."

"Yes, this saves time and trouble."

Now Mayu Technology and Xingyi Technology have established many large warehouses across the country, and all clothing, cosmetics, etc. of Mayu, Zhenyou, and Qingyou, as well as all products of Xingyi Technology and Wujie Technology, are distributed in large warehouses across the country to supply nearby stores and users.

After users place an order, the goods will be shipped from nearby stores and delivered to the door by Ele.me riders.

For areas not covered by takeout, Xingyi Logistics will be used to ship the goods from nearby storage centers.

As long as we further expand the new warehouse, we can continue to operate the current system.

By then, it will arrive the next day, the same day, or even within hours for some products!

There is no need to worry that users will dislike such services. There are too many e-commerce platforms with slow logistics, which are not innovative and can be easily replaced.

Even Pinduoduo in its previous life relied on hundreds of billions of subsidies and ultra-low prices.

If the price advantage is gone, users will give up on the logistics timeliness.

But the express logistics platform is completely different!

Even if it is a little more expensive, users like to place an order today and have it delivered tomorrow. Or even place an order in the morning and have it delivered in the afternoon!

Wang Yi continued: "In addition, we can also acquire some factories, build our own brands, produce some daily necessities, and quickly make up for the current lack of Douyin categories. In addition, we can also invest in some factory stores to provide some high-quality and low-priced necessities."

Chen Chuanqing immediately understood Wang Yi's idea: "We can expand our own brand's self-operated scale and focus on mid-to-high-end products. Factory stores will focus on cost-effectiveness and meet the needs of the sinking market."

Wang Yi nodded: "Not bad, as expected of Old Chen, you get it right away!"

Wang Yi deliberately only said half of it, just to see if his subordinates could hear the key points.

Chen Chuanqing did not disappoint Wang Yi and immediately identified the key.

This made Wang Yi more confident in handing over Douyin e-commerce to Chen Chuanqing for management.

When Mayu was just starting out, Chen Chuanqing followed Wang Yi and was only an assistant to Vancl's operations director at the time.

But now, Vancl is almost out of business, but Chen Chuanqing has become the president of Mayu Mall and Douyin Mall.

All we can say is that gold always shines.

But unfortunately, a lot of gold never has the chance to shine in its lifetime and never meets a mentor who can change its life.

But Chen Chuanqing met Wang Yi, who was his mentor and benefactor.

Also because of Chen Chuanqing, Mayu developed rapidly and Douyin Mall was able to grow rapidly.

It can be said that the two of them complement each other!

This is the best relationship between superiors and subordinates.

After the video conference, Chen Chuanqing immediately convened a core meeting of the e-commerce department and began a series of arrangements and consultations.

The prelude to Douyin Mall's comprehensive upgrade to a comprehensive e-commerce platform has been completely unveiled.

In this regard, Xingyi Technology did not make a big deal about it.

There is no other reason. The JD.com shares held by Wang Yi and Xingyi Technology are still being shipped in batches in an orderly manner.

If they directly and loudly announce the upgrade of comprehensive e-commerce now, JD.com’s stock price will be the first to collapse, and the JD.com shares held by Xingyi Technology will also become worthless.

This is not okay.

It is for this reason that Douyin Mall did not directly upgrade to a comprehensive e-commerce platform last year in order to slowly cash out and put the money in pocket.

However, after cashing out many times during this period, Wang Yi sold a lot of JD.com shares, which can be regarded as a huge profit.

In the next six months, before Douyin Mall becomes bigger and stronger, we will gradually cash out some of the money, and that will be enough.

Wang Yi is not optimistic about the future of JD.com, especially after the Douyin Mall becomes bigger, JD.com may be in danger.

Its market value will not continue to rise, on the contrary it may fall, and the best case scenario is that it will remain where it is.

In this way, timely cashing out can maximize profits.

By this year, the honeymoon period between Xingyi Technology and JD.com has ended.

The huge amount of money I’ve made from cashing out now is enough.

After all, when Wang Yi invested in JD.com, it was not listed and its valuation was only US$77.

But now?

JD.com’s market value has risen to 420 billion US dollars!
With an increase of more than five times, if we don’t cash out now, when will we?
Wang Yi remembered that in its previous life, JD.com's market value was mostly 2020 to billion US dollars. Only during the super bull market in did its market value rise to nearly billion US dollars, but it was also short-lived and soon fell back to to billion US dollars.

It can be said that the 40 to 50 billion US dollars are basically the limit. There is no need to continue holding it, just cash it out in batches.

As for holding on until 2020, waiting for that big bull market...

This is not realistic.

Everything has changed since Wang Yi was reborn.

Under the butterfly effect, it is hard to say whether that bull market will continue.

Instead of leaving tens of billions of funds lying around in the stock market, it is better to cash out in advance and put the money in your pocket.

An investment of several billion RMB has increased in value to more than 40 billion, which is already a huge profit.

Wang Yi is not greedy.

He decisively arranged for people to cash out another 65 billion US dollars and billion RMB of JD.com shares.

Each time Wang Yi cashes out, the amount is around 10 billion US dollars. The scale is not too large, but the frequency is frequent.

By investing in small amounts and multiple times, the stock price will not collapse drastically, and Wang Yi can also make more money.

Da Qiangzi was well aware of this, but there was nothing he could do.

Back then, Wang Yineng made a huge investment, helped him successfully go public, and caused the stock price to soar. He had already done the most.

It is only natural that we go our separate ways now.

All good things come to an end.

What’s more, JD.com now still needs the traffic entrance of Changchat, so it dares not to resist even if it wants to.

However, Da Qiangzi is more aware of the aggressiveness of Douyin Mall than anyone else, and he feels more pressured!

In the following days, the number of active users of Douyin continued to grow, and the order volume of Douyin Mall also continued to surge.

Everything is developing in the best direction and is thriving.

Wang Yi was in a good mood: "If nothing unexpected happens, this year will end like this, and the work will be successfully completed."

Deep down, Wang Yi still prefers to regard New Year's Eve as the end of the year.

Treat the Spring Festival as the beginning of the new year.

Although the company's financial reports are all calculated based on New Year's Day.

A lot of things happened this year, and we encountered many challenges, but Xingyi Technology overcame them all, turned danger into safety, and even turned the tide!

With three more weeks to go before the Chinese New Year, everything will be smooth sailing and a complete victory.

However, just as Wang Yi was holding Lin Shu and preparing to go to sleep, Franz Quentin called him from overseas:
"Chairman, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but there's something serious that I have to report promptly."

"It's okay, just say it." Wang Yi said calmly.

"It's like this. Over the past period of time, Apple has launched a series of crazy crackdowns on parallel imports of our Xingyi mobile phones."

"They not only invested special funds and set up relevant institutions to reward those who provided clues about the sale of parallel-imported Xingyi mobile phones, but also bribed the FBI who found out about the parallel-imported Xingyi mobile phones."

"This directly led to many people reporting vendors selling parallel imports of Xingyi phones for Apple's bonus, and the FBI also investigated and confiscated these parallel imports for the bonus. Not only did they make money from Apple, they also made some Xingyi phones."

"As a result, many parallel importers suffered heavy losses, and the parallel import sales of Xingyi mobile phones were also greatly affected."

Wang Yi's face darkened: "As expected, Apple is desperate."

"Yes, Chairman, if that's all, the situation is still controllable. Our parallel import sales will decrease slightly, but the impact will not be too great."

"But now, Apple seems to have gone crazy, constantly lobbying American politicians and congressmen, proposing to use official power to comprehensively investigate and punish parallel imports of Xingyi mobile phones, in order to cut off our roots!"

"What's worse is that Apple is willing to spend money. As far as I know, many politicians have supported them and expressed their willingness to actively promote this proposal."

Wang Yi's face changed drastically. "Once this proposal is implemented, there will be a comprehensive crackdown on parallel imports of Xingyi mobile phones. By then, it will be difficult for parallel imports to sell again."

"Yes, Chairman, I am worried about this matter, so I disturbed you so late at night. The other party's hand is too big, leaving no room for maneuver."

Wang Yi nodded: "Okay, I get it, you did a great job. Very good. Find out Apple's moves as soon as possible, and I'll figure out the rest."

"Okay, Chairman."

After the call ended, Wang Yi's face turned gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shu hugged Wang Yi tightly and asked with concern.

"Alas! These are troubled times." Wang Yi sighed: "I am ready to welcome the Spring Festival and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, but Apple is making things difficult for me and doesn't want me to have a good New Year!"

"It's alright. My wisest brother, there must be a way!"

Lin Shu gently placed Wang Yi's head on her legs and gave him a considerate massage.

Wang Yi closed his eyes and said quietly: "Since Apple doesn't want me to have a good New Year, then they can just not have one."

Originally, Wang Yi planned to keep a front line and start internationalization in March.

They even plan to abandon the US market.

But now that Apple is committing such a ruthless act, there is no need to show mercy!

Start internationalizing now!

The main target is the US market!
As for whether he will be hammered?

Let him be.

Before being hammered, give Apple a good beating and make the money first.

The most important thing is that if the current situation continues, the United States will not give up even if the company is not listed in the United States.

Long-arm jurisdiction has always been their favorite thing to do.

Even if it is not listed in the United States, Xiaomi will shamelessly criticize Xingyi Technology and Xingyi mobile phones.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to smash Apple first. At worst, it would be a one-for-one deal!

However, it is too late for Xingyi X1 to enter the international market now.

But the Ultrasurf Note 1 and Ultrasurf Note 1 Pro can be replaced first!
As an upgraded version of the first generation of Ultramargin, the Ultramargin Note 1 is the most cost-effective 1G mobile phone and also the 4G mobile phone with the lowest price. It will definitely be a hit once it is launched.

There is only one goal, and that is to destroy the iPhone!
