Open business day-to-day

Chapter 382
In the morning, when Lin Rui came to the company, secretary Shen Fei handed over a document, which was the development report of Weiyin payment during this period.

Since Weiyang Technology spent 1000 million in June, issued 1000 million red envelopes, and attracted [-] million registered users, Weiyin Payment has finally gained a firm foothold.

In order to expand more payment scenarios, the Weiyang Weibo platform launched paid subscriptions, paid props, and paid Q&A functions in July. In just three days, the number of users who opened Weiyin payment exploded by 200 million.

In August, Weiyang Weibo even opened up its public platform, allowing third-party software to enter and promote its own products and software.

As a result, more payment scenarios have been set up, and the number of users who have activated Weiyin payment has further increased.

In addition to so many start-up companies invested by the company, platforms such as Meituan and Ele.me, use payment software very frequently.

Weiyang Technology, as the major shareholder, is of course the first choice, and Weiyin Payment has already been connected to various platforms.

As for their own novel website, game platform, music platform, live broadcast platform... Needless to say!

With so many payment scenarios, Weiyang Technology has continuously promoted it.In three to four months, more than 800 million users have opened Weiyin payment.

It doesn't look too high, and it can't be compared with Alipay's hundreds of millions of users.But as a payment software that has just been released for a few months, this result is very good.

After finishing the work at hand, Lin Rui left the company at ten o'clock in the morning. Accompanied by several managers, he came to the two buildings he had just bought to have a look.

This Gemini Tower with an area of ​​28 square meters is still a piece of rough housing that has just been built.The company has already contacted a top design team in China to personally design and decorate the two buildings.

It is estimated that the renovation period will be more than half a year, and it will take about a year to actually settle in.

After buying the more than [-] acres of commercial land attached to the two buildings, the company does not plan to carry out construction and development, and plans to build a garden for employees to relax and entertain.

At present, we have contacted a very well-known Jiangnan-style garden design company in China, and they will build this more than [-] acres of commercial land into a beautiful garden-style building.

Located in the core area of ​​the East District of Los Angeles, there is such a place, which is definitely a quiet place in the midst of the hustle and bustle, and an excellent place for leisure and entertainment.

After a cursory visit, Lin Rui is still quite satisfied, imagining what it will look like after the renovation in the future, and I have a little expectation in my heart.

In the afternoon, I suddenly received a message from Zhao Yan, and there was a response to the contact with Xiaomi.

Due to the huge sales of Mi 1 and the surge in orders, Xiaomi needs a lot of cash to purchase materials and expand production capacity.In recent days, I am planning to start the B round of financing, and I have already contacted many venture capitals.

The valuation has also risen from US$[-] million more than half a year ago to US$[-] million. Even so, there are still many venture capitalists interested.

However, Weiyang Technology has great advantages.

The ultimate cost-effectiveness is only one of the reasons why Xiaomi mobile phones are so popular recently, and publicity is also a sharp weapon for them.

Just like the products released by many companies, no matter whether they are good or bad, not many people know about them.It is not without reason that the products released by Xiaomi can be known all over the Internet in an instant, causing a huge wave of public opinion.

It is impossible to rely on an extreme price-performance ratio, and there is obviously an excellent marketing team behind it, who is very good at hype marketing.

Weiyang Technology has the Weibo platform with the most active users in China, which is the vane of domestic public opinion and the birthplace of various news.

Moreover, it also controls many domestic self-media companies.

For Xiaomi, which relies heavily on marketing, it is a very important scarce resource.If there is Weiyang Weibo behind it, and with the support of various marketing resources, Xiaomi will be able to maintain this enthusiasm and constantly create a sense of presence in front of netizens.

Subtly, in the hearts of netizens, it is labeled as the ultimate cost-effective.Accumulate fame and accumulate steadily.

As long as the popularity and reputation are large enough, every product released in the future can attract the attention and pursuit of the entire network.

Extreme cost performance and super high attention, these are the two most important factors for Xiaomi's success.

Compared with those venture capitalists, Weiyang Technology, which has a large amount of media and marketing resources in its hands, is the shareholder that Xiaomi needs most and is more suitable for introducing.

However, the B round of financing has just started, and no one knows what Lei Jun thinks. It will take a while to see the outcome. Lin Rui has this patience.

Time passed quickly. On the [-]th, the Los Angeles University Games finally ended, and Lin Rui was invited to attend the awards ceremony.

The 1000 million sports meeting sponsored by Weiyang Technology was extremely successful. It not only caused great influence locally, but also became a small hot spot on the Internet.

Especially as long as the students who participated in the sports meeting, everyone will be given a prize. This information was spread on the Internet and attracted a lot of attention.

Many people are envious!

The number of participants in this sports meeting also hit a new high. Compared with the same period in previous years, the number of applicants has more than doubled by more than ten times.

Not long after the sports meeting ended, November 12th, just after Double Eleven.With the efforts of Goldman Sachs, Wei Young Technology completed the review process for the acquisition of WhatsApp very quickly and passed it easily.

Lin Rui, who got the news for the first time, was also very pleasantly surprised.

Compared with those companies that have been stuck for several months and have no clue, this audit is extremely fast.

Through this opportunity, Goldman Sachs demonstrated their power in the United States.Let Weiyang Technology realize that attracting Goldman Sachs to enter the market is of great benefit to the overseas development of Weiyang Technology and the internationalization of Weiyang Technology.

However, Weiyang Technology currently has a very small foreign industry, only WhatsApp, and Goldman Sachs can play a limited role.They want to enter the market, at least until Weiyang Technology's overseas industries develop, and these powerful capitals are needed to share the pressure and reduce development resistance, then the opportunity for financing will come.

Putting these aside, passing the review means that the acquisition of WhatsApp has been completely and comprehensively completed.

While Lin Rui was happy, his worries were all gone, and the next step was to worry about how to promote WeChat.

In recent days, the preparations for the release and promotion of WeChat have not stopped, and various preparations have been going on.

The cooperation with China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom has been formally signed the day before yesterday.

It can be said that everything is ready now, only Dongfeng is owed, and a large amount of traffic has been prepared and is waiting to be collected.

Weiyang Technology's newly formed mobile IM social team is not only experienced, but also strong, and the work is progressing very smoothly.

These days, based on WhatsApp, referring to a variety of domestic and foreign mobile social software on the market, we began to improve localization on the basis of maintaining beauty and simplicity.

Three days ago, WhatsApp's domestic version "WeChat", after these days of development and testing, finally matured and could be officially launched to the market.

The company, including Lin Rui, has also installed this WeChat and tried it, and the experience is very good.

After trying WeChat for the past two days, I have been waiting for news from the United States.Now that the review has passed, the opportunity for WeChat release has also come.

Various publicity resources and navy teams have also been prepared long ago.

October NO.15, after three days of brewing, all the conditions are ready, and the time is completely ripe.

In the morning, Weiyang Technology held a large-scale press conference, and invited hundreds of well-known media at home and abroad.

At 10 am, Weiyang Technology officially announced that it has acquired the world's largest mobile IM social software WhatsApp for US$[-] million, officially entered the mobile IM social field, and started global operations.

4.5 million US dollars, the acquisition of the world's No. 6000 WhatsApp with more than [-] million users.

As soon as this matter was announced, it caused a sensation.The media reporters who were invited here were instantly excited, and when they sent out this news, they immediately surrounded them, and countless questions were thrown out.

This incident spread across the entire network in an instant through the press conference, through media reporters, and through Weiyang Weibo's own publicity channels.

Countless netizens were amazed and shocked, Weiyang Technology once again threw out a big news at the press conference.

The domestic version of WhatsApp will be launched on the entire domestic network today and is open for download.And named the domestic version of WhatsApp as "WeChat."

As soon as the news was announced, it caused an uproar.

In the past two months, the biggest news in the domestic Internet industry is the conflict between Weiyang Technology and Tencent.In the end, Tencent took back the Moments trademark, Weiyang Technology took back the WeChat trademark, and ended the dispute.

However, the contradictions and heat between the two companies are obviously not over, and they still receive countless attentions.

One of the most concerned is the use of the "WeChat" trademark.

Some time ago, a Tencent executive bombarded Weiyang Technology for refrigerating the WeChat trademark, saying that the WeChat trademark fell into his hands, which was a waste of money and a hidden gem.

The boss of Weiyang Technology also confronted each other, saying that he does not need to worry about the other party, and that the WeChat logo will soon see you again with a brand new look, we will wait and see.

Many people don't quite understand what kind of appearance Lin Rui made WeChat come out again.Most people speculate that Weiyang Technology will develop a mobile social software by itself, enter the field of instant messaging, and compete with Tencent for the market.

However, it is basically not optimistic. With Tencent's accumulation in instant messaging and social networking, it has a first-mover advantage. Weixin has more than 5000 million users.

Even if Weiyang Technology enters, it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold.

It's just that reality is more magical than imagination, and Weiyang Technology has no plans to redo a mobile IM social software at all.

They started from the outside and directly invested huge sums of money to acquire WhatsApp, the world's number one mobile IM social software.

Not only did it gain a firm foothold in this industry in an instant, but it even surpassed WeChat and became the number one mobile IM software in the world.

Of particular concern is the enviable resource of WhatsApp's more than 6000 million users scattered around the world.

With this acquisition, Weiyang Technology entered the global market in one fell swoop.Not only is it beyond the expectations of netizens, but also beyond the expectations of the domestic Internet circles, and it can still be played like this.

While shocked by this news, Weiyang Technology owns the social software WhatsApp.In everyone's eyes, both the company's structure and future development potential have undergone great changes.

It seems that Weiyang Technology, which has been quietly accumulating strength and developing in a low-key manner for so long, suddenly revealed its grandeur and ambition.

In the eyes of countless venture capitalists, the acquisition of WhatsApp by Weiyang Technology seems to be the finishing touch. Not only the company's structure and potential are instantly different, but the valuation has ushered in a wave of skyrocketing.

If in the future, Weiyang Technology can not fall behind in the domestic mobile IM field and Tencent, it will show its skills abroad, expand its territory, and break into a world.

Then the value of the entire company is really rolling upwards.

While everyone was shocked and surprised by this news, another news about WeChat came out.

Weiyang Technology announced that in order to subsidize users, each new registered user of WeChat can receive 200M traffic for free when WeChat is open to download globally.Every time you invite a new user, you will get 100M traffic for free, with no upper limit.

This piece of news also attracted a lot of attention in an instant, but with the two big news in front of it, the influence was much smaller.

However, this is originally a marketing advertisement, a way to promote WeChat. We don't expect this advertisement to be swiped by netizens spontaneously, and have other promotion methods.

Weiyang Technology has prepared it long ago, and so many publicity resources are not given for nothing.The news had just been released, and with the combined efforts of many promotional resources, it spread across the entire network in an instant.

Many people know that, register on WeChat to send traffic.

These years, high traffic charges are definitely one of the most concerned issues for everyone.

Registering on WeChat to send traffic now has aroused the interest of many people.In addition, WeChat, which has been screened all over the Internet today, is said to be the number one mobile IM social software in the world, and it is the earliest mobile IM software in the world. Even WeChat imitates it.

Many people became curious about this and became somewhat interested.I plan to download one and have a look, and I can get traffic for free.

Not only that, Weiyang Technology has released so many shocking news in one day, and the effect of so many news superimposed is extremely amazing.

The whole network's attention to Weiyang Technology and WeChat not only continued to rise, but also became more and more popular. The topic continued to heat up, attracting almost all the attention of the whole network.

Affected by various factors and various factors, WeChat became popular instantly from the moment it was officially released and opened for download.

The download data of the major app stores has risen sharply. In just four hours, the download volume has exceeded 500 million.

It took only four hours for the domestic users of WeChat to reach 500 million from scratch, which also created a miracle of domestic software promotion.

One day later, on the afternoon of the 16th, just 30 hours after WeChat was released, the number of domestic users officially exceeded [-] million, setting another record.

Looking at the menacing WeChat and the astonishing achievements, many Internet companies gradually realized that another small Internet giant has taken shape.

At this moment, Shencheng.

Tencent is facing a formidable enemy, and they have always focused on the domestic market. They did not expect that Weiyang Technology would start from abroad and break into their core field in one fell swoop.

In just one day, it attracted tens of millions of users, confirming its status as the world's largest IM social software.

All senior management gathered together again to discuss countermeasures.

This time, they clearly realized that the company had really met an opponent.
