   Chapter 1483 This day can't be passed

   "Why hasn't there been any movement yet? I'll post another one."

  In a large conference hall of a hotel in Singapore, Xia Jingxing held a glittering Fuxing FX3 mobile phone and kept tinkering in his hand.

   Just as he was holding down the voice input button and was about to send another voice, the phone suddenly vibrated and a voice message was sent.

   Seeing that it was sent by Zhang Dalong, Xia Jingxing immediately clicked to play.

   "Okay, Mr. Xia, I'll take this bet. If I lose, I'll risk my life to run a half marathon."

   Internet practitioners and young students from Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia all stared at the big screen on the stage, which clearly projected the entire chat session interface.

   Just now, they witnessed how Xia Jingxing sent the voice message, and now they saw and heard the reply from the other side of the capital.

  The distance between Singapore and the capital is 4,477 kilometers, which is almost 10,000 miles away. The word Qianli Chuanyin is too low-key, and Wanli Chuanyin is not an exaggeration.

  Although with the advent of telephones and mobile phones in the past, the history of human communication has already achieved calls across thousands of miles, but they have never seen such a scene of easily realizing voice intercom through a mobile phone application.

  This mobile app called WeChat gave them a lot of surprises as soon as it was unveiled, and they undoubtedly became more looking forward to today's product launch organized by Xia Jingxing.

   Then, through the mobile phone, Xia Jingxing and Zhang Dalong sent voice messages back and forth.

  The audience in Beijing and Singapore quietly watched the two jokingly chatting.

   Soon, Zhang Dalong sent a picture.

  Xia Jingxing clicked to enlarge the picture, and presented a picture of the audience in front of the audience.

   "This is a picture of the press conference on our side. It was photographed and sent by me a few seconds ago." Zhang Dalong sent a voice message and added it.

Xia Jingxing also raised his mobile phone, took a picture and sent it to the audience. At the same time, he introduced to the audience: "This is WeChat's picture sending function. As an instant messaging product, we believe that it can not only send text and voice messages. , should send picture information.

  The video information sending function will also be launched in the future. At present, the network speed cannot easily realize this function, and it is not so convenient to use. "

   Next, Xia Jingxing started to demonstrate the group chat function.

   He invited Zhang Dalong and Zhang Yong to quickly set up a work group called "Singapore-Beijing", and quickly sent several sets of documents to it.

   Zhang Dalong and Zhang Yong played the role of subordinates very cooperatively, receiving documents, sending messages to inquire, and replying.

   "Our domestic holding group only has three employees in the group chat, which is not acceptable."

   "There are still many employees who haven't registered for WeChat? My boss can't call one by one to sell our new products, right?"

   "What to do? Simple, let's read the address book and see who has registered for WeChat?"

  Xia Jingxing was talking to himself while operating his mobile phone and came to the address book interface.

   This is a vertical column interface like the main interface, and you can clearly see the friend column.

  Xia Jingxing has many friends. More than a dozen people have registered on WeChat and have their own avatars, but most of them are a string of numbers, which are displayed as unregistered WeChat.

  "This is a small function, through the address book, you can clearly see whether your friends have registered for WeChat.

If he has not registered, we will send him an invitation, and by clicking this button, he will be able to send a text message to his friends in batches, the content is probably "I have registered for WeChat, this is a very magical application, come and follow Let's have fun together."

   However, this text message is actually not sent by the user, but by the official WeChat account.

  Users only need to press the invite button lightly, and then a large number of friends will come to play with you. "

  Many Internet practitioners in the audience pinched their chins with contemplative expressions on their faces.

   They feel they have learned that this is a kind of virality and marketing, and it is still in the name of acquaintance SMS recommendation, not that kind of spam SMS marketing.

  "WeChat's product essence is reflected in the word "convenience". The more acquaintances, the more convenient the connection.

   This is the same as storing your phone contacts for making calls and texting. "

Many people in the audience nodded their heads. Although they knew that Xia Jingxing said this for the convenience of promotion, users should not refuse to be "used" once - anyway, it doesn't cost money, and there are good free products, so naturally they want to. Amway to close friends and family.

  Xia Jingxing continued to introduce and demonstrate the various functions of the product. Every small function gave people a refreshing feeling, and a group of Southeast Asian audiences enjoyed it.

   Soon, Xia Jingxing's product demonstration session was over, and he walked off the stage with applause and farewell.

  The person who came to power was Zhang Yong, who delivered a speech as the CEO of the domestic holding group.

   "As an Internet group serving hundreds of millions of Chinese users, Domestic Holding Group has provided Chinese users with many rich, interesting, convenient and practical Internet products in the past.

   Since this year, we have entered the international market and selected Singapore as the first stop to go overseas.

   At present, Homeland Holdings has launched and operated MOMO Voice, a game voice communication tool that is very popular among gamers in Singapore and the entire Southeast Asian region…”

   After Xia Jingxing returned to the stage, he sat quietly and listened to Zhang Yong's speech.

   Li Xiaodong, who was sitting next to him, said softly: "Mr. Xia, this WeChat product is really good. There is a huge shortage of such a large-scale Internet platform in Southeast Asia."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, feeling that what Li Xiaodong said had several meanings.

   First of all, the development of the Internet industry in Southeast Asia is extremely backward. In the PC era, there were almost no well-known Internet companies, and they were not even well-known in the region. They were completely reduced to Google, Facebook and other giants.

The arrival of    Domestic Holdings is actually no different from those international Internet giants who came to enclose the land.

   However, the relationship between Domestic Holding Group and Envision Capital and Garena is different after all. The better the development of Domestic Holding, the more Garena can benefit.

   Therefore, listening to Li Xiaodong's tone, he felt that he wished that the big brother of domestic holdings would go out to sea to help his brother.

  Garena Company, after receiving investment from Vision Capital, acted as an agent for almost all online games of Domestic Holdings, which is equivalent to an agent supported by Domestic Holdings in Southeast Asia.

   However, if the overall business of domestic holdings goes overseas together, there will be no soup from Garena.

   Therefore, Xia Jingxing still felt that there was something in Li Xiaodong's words, and he wondered if he was worried that the elder brother would steal his younger brother's job.

  Xia Jingxing pondered for a moment, then said: "Although the Internet industry in Southeast Asia has missed the PC era, it has now entered the mobile era.

   Southeast Asia has a population of more than 600 million. As long as the infrastructure is improved a little, there is still much to be done. "

  Li Xiaodong said with a smile: "Yeah, you started the mobile Internet era with one hand. I heard that mobile Internet entrepreneurship is very hot in China, but Southeast Asia still feels a bit slower.

   And the domestic market is an overall market. First, it is large enough. Second, it can develop according to a set of standard models. Second, the Chinese people are still relatively wealthy, and the blooming flowers of the Internet are more gorgeous than those from Southeast Asia. "

  Xia Jingxing listened with a smile without saying a word, knowing that Li Xiaodong was deliberately telling himself the "difficulty" of the Southeast Asian market, so as to dispel his idea of ​​"direct sales".

  Li Xiaodong still has some means. Let's not talk about his affairs with Chen Ou, but just say that the penguins in his previous life spared no effort to support him, which is not something ordinary people can do.

   Now, the other party is obviously trying to fool himself to support him like a fooling pony.

   Xia Jingxing has his own calculations for the development strategy of the Southeast Asian market, and he will not be easily persuaded or changed.

  Li Xiaodong made a bitter face and lamented: "In contrast, the Southeast Asian market is still too fragmented, and the economic development of each country is not uniform, and it can even be described as a world of difference.

  For example, the per capita GDP of Singapore and Brunei is a dozen or twenty times that of Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.

   In some countries, the political situation is not very stable, and it is also difficult to invest and operate.

  There are also religious factors to consider, otherwise people in some countries will be hostile to it if you are not careful. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, what Li Xiaodong said was the truth. In the past life, the first domestic Internet station to go overseas was basically located in Southeast Asia, but the business results were hard to describe.

Many companies are reluctant to go overseas. It's not because the external competitors are too strong, and no matter how strong they are, they can't be stronger than the Chinese Internet, which was raised by guinea pigs. It's because the business environment, political environment, and religious environment abroad are accompanied by a lot of troubles. There is domestic comfort, although it is volume, it is not messy.

   If you are not careful, you will be banned, fined, and extorted. It is not easy to do business abroad.

   However, going overseas to Southeast Asia is something that domestic holding groups must do. It must not be trapped in the domestic market, and must insist on expanding the market no matter how difficult it is.

   "The Southeast Asian market is indeed complicated, so the domestic holding group insists on promoting social business."

  Li Xiaodong looked at Xia Jingxing and waited for his next words.

   "We are social giants. If we can't even occupy a Southeast Asian market, we can only dominate the domestic market. What kind of giants are you?"

  Li Xiaodong sneered, he understood Xia Jingxing's subtext, that is, Haihai Holdings only does social business in Southeast Asia, and does not touch games.

   But he was still a little worried, after all, for their company, the money was provided by Envision Capital, and the agency games were provided by Domestic Holdings, which was equivalent to Xia Jingxing's life, and they could be pinched to death with a single click.

   This kind of insecurity is quite worrying, as for a person who has the idea of ​​making the company a top Internet company in Southeast Asia.

  Xia Jingxing looked at Li Xiaodong's expression of hesitating to speak, and secretly thought it was funny, what kind of identity am I, you really think that I like those bottles and jars in your house.

   "Old Li, what do you think is the difference between Domestic Holdings and Facebook? Or, if we put Domestic Holdings on the capital market, what else needs to be strengthened and supplemented?"

  Li Xiaodong suddenly realized and replied: "Lack of a huge number of users plus an international concept?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded and smiled, "That's right, this is the biggest shortcoming of domestic holdings at present, the Chinese market. We are currently at war with Penguin. When we win the Chinese market and then go overseas, I am afraid that we will not have a place in the international market."

  Li Xiaodong frowned slightly, listening to this tone, it seemed like he was fighting for territory with Facebook. Aren't you afraid of cannibalism and internal friction?

   Oh, that's right, Mr. Xia has already been "cleaned out of the house", leaving both people and money empty.

   "I don't think about the European and American markets for the time being, but the Southeast Asian market, no matter what, we are going to win.

  Like your company, we can slowly cultivate this market.

  When the social business of domestic holdings grows in Southeast Asia, it can also form an alliance with your company to deal with local startups and international giants together. "

   Hearing Xia Jingxing's words, Li Xiaodong immediately felt a lot more at ease, at least Mr. Xia didn't look down on his three-thirds of his land for the time being, and he came to Southeast Asia to do important things.

   On the stage, Zhang Yong's speech was coming to an end, and the audience burst into warm applause.

   As soon as the press conference was over, Xia Jingxing left by car.

   On the way to the airport, he saw an overwhelming WeChat advertisement.

  From bus body advertisements to roadside billboards, WeChat’s logo and slogan are everywhere—WeChat is a way of life.

  Seeing this scene, Xia Jingxing couldn't help laughing, and asked Liu Xiaoduo who was sitting in the co-pilot: "Dahua, do you think we can win this battle?"

   Liu Xiaoduo was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Mr. Xia, are you worried about penguins?"

   "I'm not worried, the one who should be worried is Pony Horse."

  Xia Jingxing withdrew his gaze from the window and said with a smile: "I heard that his recent days have been very difficult!"

  …

  …

   "This day will never end!"

   Inside the Penguin Building in Pengcheng, as soon as Bonima returned to the company's office, he slammed his fist on the table, his face full of anger and unwillingness.

  Liu Zhiping sighed, "It doesn't matter, WeChat just got a lot of momentum, and after a while, the popularity will naturally decline.

  Penguins are not so easy to beat, they launched a mobile app, we can launch it too! "

   "The launch? Where's the money?"

   Bonima spread his hands to Liu Zhiping, "We are running out of money now.

  WeChat can advertise overwhelmingly, but we can't.

   Even Penguin Weibo is laying off staff, how can there be money to support the promotion of a new product. "

   Liu Zhiping glanced at Bonima, and in his heart complained about the other party's willful behavior.

  The billions in private placement financing last year were used by Bonima to invite celebrities, compete with domestic Weibo, and purchase and invest in game companies everywhere…

   Now the core business has encountered major challenges, and it is time to spend money. At a glance, the money is gone.

  I have no money, and I'm fighting a fart!

   "No, I have to talk to Li Yikai again. If it really doesn't work, I will agree to his conditions."

   Liu Zhiping couldn't sit still at all when he heard Bonima's words.

   "Boney, don't be impulsive! That person Li Yikai is not a good person. Don't fall for his trap."

   "Even if it's a trap, you can only get through it! Is it possible to watch WeChat exert force and eat away our market share step by step?

   Now the share price of Penguin is already falling, and I don’t know what will happen if it falls further.

   At this stage, only Li Yikai has the ability to help us and is willing to help us. "

   Liu Zhiping opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him a few more words, but he found that he couldn't find any reason, and finally he could only let out a faint sigh: "Drink poison to quench thirst!"
