Hangzhou!
In the second half of 2009, Hangzhou's Ma Lao spread its wings and was ready to fly, so the city's postcard West Lake is still unique.
Since graduation, every time Yang Dongxu comes to Hangzhou, it can be said that he comes and goes in a hurry. Basically, he seldom wanders around except for work.
This time, it occurred to me that besides doing work, I came to the West Lake to hang out in my spare time. But even though he was wandering around, he was not alone. In addition to Du Heng, who was always with him when he went out, Lin Wei was also there.
Lin Wei had been decadent for a while after leaving Ninetowns. Later, she thought she would not face the bayonet with her old employer and voluntarily gave up on the flourishing YY and went to another department.
This time WeChat was about to go online, and Yang Dongxu decided to transfer her over after much deliberation. Unless Lin Wei is transferred here, Xuri Technology will have no talent.
But the talents of Xuri Technology are all carrots and pits, and no one can spare their hands for the time being. If we hire a headhunter to recruit people, it is impossible for an outsider, Yang Dongxu, to put the heavy responsibility on him with confidence as soon as he comes up.
In addition, recently, two informants, Qi Bin and Sun Zhi, have been emerging from the darkness. Although Yang Dongxu didn't have any trace of guilt, his inner defenses were definitely raised to the highest level.
So after comprehensive consideration, I still feel that Lin Wei is more suitable. First of all, she has a good understanding of instant messaging, and secondly, she has management experience in this area.
Looking at all the talents of Xuri Technology, unless Sun Yang, who manages YY, is allowed to take on the role concurrently, Lin Wei is the best candidate.
In fact, not only is WeChat about to become an independent battleship, but the League of Legends will be able to become an aircraft carrier through continuous transformation and arming in the future. Yang Dongxu is also preparing to let Lin Wei start to manage it.
Because Ninetowns started its business by playing games, and Lin Wei also has enough experience in this area, so he is the most suitable candidate to take care of both.
In fact, if Sun Yang hadn't managed too many things and was still coordinating the entire Xuri Technology, he would have been a good candidate for this position.
But although the position given to Lin Wei is very important, it must be under Sun Yang, the general manager. You can't let Sun Yang be demoted to shoulder this heavy responsibility, right?
"Don't be under too much pressure, and don't feel that you are just a junior in the company. You haven't accomplished anything yet when you come to Xuri Technology, so if you get such an important position, others will gossip about you.
There must be people who gossip, after all, there are people who can talk about anything that is hard to explain. Although it was my intention to transfer you here, both Mr. Qiu and Mr. Sun are very supportive.
Because WeChat’s positioning is different this time, it must take an international route. Although there are many talents in the company, we are more optimistic about you in terms of expansion.
After all, you are the one who is carrying the pressure of YY and forcefully keeping CC from falling. You have absolute experience in facing the pressure and competition from the external environment. "
The two of them were walking by the West Lake, not like a boss talking to his subordinates, but like two friends having a heart-to-heart talk.
Although Lin Wei came to Xuri Technology after leaving Ninetowns, she has been confused. Or maybe Jiucheng's stab in the back left an unforgettable memory in her mind and still hurts a little. Whenever she wants to get motivated and start working hard like before, she always feels like someone will do it again one day in the future.
Although in her opinion Yang Dongxu is not that kind of person, he is a big boss with a big picture and always looking at the world. But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
The matter of removing mills and killing donkeys has never been missing from ancient times. So this time I came to West Lake for a walk and talk, just to open up Lin Wei's heart.
After all, this is a handsome man who thinks he can command thousands of troops. If he can show off the energy he had when he was in Ninetowns, the promotion of WeChat around the world will definitely speed up.
"WeChat was ready to take the international route when it came out. Is it because YY's launch was blocked?" Lin Wei asked.
"There are reasons for this." Yang Dongxu admitted generously.
Although YY is basically a well-connected company in China and is actively expanding abroad, it still gives people the feeling of starting high and moving low.
In other words, it’s not that it’s going high and going low, it’s just relative to the absolute dominance of domestic YY. YY's performance in foreign markets is not so impressive, although its annual operating performance is actually very good, even the results that other Internet companies dream of.
But with the domestic YY Zhuyu in front, this has not informed the entire foreign instant chat market, and there must be a big gap in my heart.
In addition, CC and MM, which have been suppressed domestically and are unable to raise their heads, have been criticized internationally for plagiarizing YY's ideas, but their development has been booming.
Compared with its domestic performance, it is simply as good as heaven and earth. Such a comparison makes it even more obvious that YY's development abroad is one head behind.
"If it is because of this, YY cannot sweep away the fallen leaves in the international market. In fact, it is not that the foreign operations department is not good, but that there are too many other interfering factors." Lin Wei said.
Sometimes you can't just look at the surface of something, you have to see the underlying reasons. Lin Wei's words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head.
Compared with the domestic CC, Jiucheng, this existence can be beaten by Rising Sun Technology in various ways. Sequoia Capital is behind CC going global.
And standing behind MM is Microsoft. Compared with these two companies, Ninetowns is simply a younger brother. No matter how conceited Yang Dongxu was, he would not dare to say anything to scorn these two families.
With the support of these two behemoths, CC and MM's expansion in the international market has taken off immediately.
Although YY went abroad on Google's boat, Yang Dongxu stood behind him. But without the advantage of beating others, there is naturally no way to crush it in terms of development.
"So we need to develop a weapon that they don't have, so it will be more powerful!" Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Instant chatting with classmates is not a rare thing. Although YY developed because of the presence of Yang Dongxu, it took the lead. But after other capital takes a fancy to this piece of cake, even if it does not acquire YY, it can acquire other similar software to enter this market.
But WeChat is different. WeChat still seems to be a shell of the boss's instant messaging software. But smartphones have only been around for a few years.
WeChat's main focus is the smartphone market. Other capitals in this area are not aware of this big cake yet, or some people are still looking for ways to eat it.
Therefore, WeChat will be unique once it is launched. When other capital sees that it is ready to enter this market, it will definitely take a certain amount of time for them to develop similar software.
This is the golden period for the development of WeChat. If it develops well and replicates YY's successful path in China, it is not impossible to sing all the way in the international market and finally sit on the throne.
Yang Dongxu's words made Lin Wei's eyes shine brightly. Taking charge of this top-secret weapon that no one else would have in a short time to sweep the market made her silent heart agitate.
If you can dominate the world, no one wants to be unknown!
Lin Wei has been a strong person since she was a child!
