Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Director Ma frowned slightly: "Amap's nearly free model not only killed Baidu Navigation, but also killed Tencent Navigation, which we have not yet launched!"

Originally, Chairman Ma planned to acquire Baidu Navigation for one billion, merge SOSO Map and NavInfo's new underlying map, and launch Tencent Navigation!

Currently, maps are free, but navigation is paid.

Coupled with 6 million QQ users, Tencent Navigation will surely grow in size quickly and make a lot of money!

The billion spent on acquiring Baidu Navigation can be earned back in less than three years.

But now, Wang Yi just flipped the table, navigation is almost free, making no money at all, and keeps burning money, so why not just be a fool?

If it were not for the strategic security of the underlying map, Director Ma would have given up the map and navigation business directly!

Zhang Long also let out a long sigh: "It's not just that. The emergence of Changchat has also dimmed WeChat's originally brilliant future. Let's be honest, this guy Wang Yi is here for our Tencent!"

In its previous life, the version was powerful and had more than 13 billion monthly active users worldwide, making it truly invincible.

But the current version doesn’t even have a friend circle function, with only 7000 million total users and million monthly active users.

To put it bluntly, WeChat is still in the pioneering stage and is very immature. More than 90% of the people in the country have never heard of WeChat. It is not invincible.

Wang Yi launched Chat at this time, and made .0 features such as nearby food and nearby tours in advance. It was equivalent to using the version to play the current version, which was naturally very easy.

It's like using Han Li in the Core Formation stage to fight Han Li in the Foundation stage, there's no pressure at all.

It is precisely because of this that both Ma Dong and Zhang Long felt faced with the emergence of Changchao.

Especially the linkage with Gaode Navigation cashback, it is simply invincible!

In the free era, everyone thinks that Amap Navigation is just a small software and not worth mentioning.

But in the current era of paid navigation, Amap Navigation is crucial to users.

Whether you are a car owner or someone who often goes out for fun, navigation is a necessity!

I simply cannot refuse the 150 yuan permanent free navigation of Amap, nor can I refuse the cashback activity, so I will definitely become a Changchao user.

And Changchao has been linked with the game gift packages of "Defend Youzi" and "Happy Xiaoxiaole", attracting hundreds of millions of game users!

Coupled with the built-in chat function of Xingyi mobile phone and the fans of Xingyi Technology, some more users can be added.

If Meiyou diverts traffic, it can also attract many female users to use Chat!

With so many buffs stacked up, it’s just cheating!

It doesn’t matter whether Changchao or Gaode want to be popular!

Of course, it attracts traffic, but unfortunately this is both a benefit and a disadvantage.

The past life account is deeply bound and you can directly import QQ friends with one click.

But later it was discovered that this feature caused trouble to many people.

In its simplest form, WeChat is for socializing with acquaintances, and privacy is very important.

Some QQ friends who have not been in contact for many years are no longer familiar with each other, and they do not want the other party to add their WeChat account to know their current life situation.

But it's a pity that the other party imported QQ friends with one click and actively added them. I felt embarrassed if I refused, and felt uncomfortable if I didn't refuse...

Especially those who are doing very well, and they don’t want to add WeChat messages from ordinary classmates who have not been in contact with them for many years.

It's not that I'm indifferent, it's just that some classmates I haven't contacted for many years, and adding WeChat is just borrowing money and asking for help, which is still not easy to do. This is annoying for everyone...

It is precisely because of this that after many years in the previous life, I unbundled, canceled the function of adding QQ friends with one click, and returned to mobile phone number binding!

And the current chat is directly to bind the mobile phone number + the user registers the account himself.

This is true even for Meiyou.

One mobile number, all logged in.

Even if the mobile phone number is no longer used, you can unbind it through account and password verification and change to a new mobile phone number.

Ma Dong nodded: "No need to doubt it, Wang Yi is here for our Goose Factory! This guy has the courage to fight Baidu and attack social networking at the same time. That's great! Lao Zhang, social networking is our base camp, this time Game, we can’t lose!”

Zhang Long responded solemnly: "Okay, I will start a mobilization meeting right now and ask the WeChat business department to work overtime to create a circle of friends first, as well as surrounding tours and surrounding food. As for the map, it depends on the acquisition of Baidu Navigation... "

Director Ma looked out the window and was a little worried: "Even if I accept Baidu Navigation and use WeChat to create a circle of friends, surrounding food and travel, I am still lagging behind Changchao, and I am still being led by Changchao."

"This..." Zhang Long was silent.

Yes, these features are now available on Changchat.

WeChat is working overtime to catch up and test, and it will take at least a month to launch the friend circle function.

As for peripheral travel and surrounding food, it involves map POI and navigation issues. Even if Baidu Navigation is acquired, integrating resources will take time, and it will take two or three months at the fastest.

WeChat followed Changchao and completely fell behind.

More importantly, Changchao will definitely continue to iteratively upgrade and launch other more powerful new features!

What will happen to WeChat then? Continue to copy?

If you are completely led by Changchao, that's the end of it!

But in the current situation, there is no other way.

Director Ma also thought about this situation clearly and patted Zhang Long on the shoulder:

"Don't think too much. You lead the people to fight first. For the rest, just take one step at a time and wait and see."

"it is good!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary came in: "Chairman, after Xingyi Technology announced the permanent free navigation of 200 yuan, NavInfo's stock price fell to the limit in just three minutes!"

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

Zhang Long also fell silent: "..."

The navigation field has been hit hard by Amap, WeChat has been stolen by Changchao, and now even NavInfo, which bought shares at a 50% premium, has dropped to its limit.

It’s true that misfortunes never come singly!

Ma Dong waved his hand: "Okay, I understand, you can go down."

"Yes!" After the secretary stepped back, Ma Dong sighed:

"The first wave of influence caused by Wang Yi's flipping of the table began to spread. NavInfo was the first to fall by the limit, and it was the kind that would never come back up. There would even be several lower limits in the future!"

Zhang Long nodded: "With 150 yuan of permanent free navigation in AutoNavi, NavInfo has indeed had a great impact. It has dropped by 10% in one day, and in a few days, the stock price may have halved. The NavInfo stock we bought is considered to be standing guard at a high level. ”

"Yeah, I'm completely stuck. I bought 10% of the shares for 15 billion, but I'm afraid it will only be worth 5 million in a few days!"

Ma Dong looked a little gloomy: "Wang Yi's move cost me 10 billion. I have no choice but to keep it. We will see what happens next."

At this time, the knock on the door rang again:

"Chairman, the vice president of Baidu is here."

Director Ma frowned: "Let Vice President Ye go see him! Forget it, I'm waiting on WeChat to use navigation and ask him to come. I'll see him in person!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Qu Xin came to the chairman's office: "Hello, Director Ma, regarding Baidu Navigation, Director Li said that it doesn't need 10 billion, just 5 million. There is no need for a five-year authorization, just give Baidu a three-year authorization." "

Qu Xin was helpless, now and then.
