There are more than 5,000 ASML suppliers all over the world.
If Cymer had not been acquired by ASML, it would have been one of the most important suppliers among these 5,000 suppliers. Only they could produce the most advanced light sources.
After ASML acquired Cymer, the global vice president served as the president of Cymer. ASML internally attached great importance to Cymer.
That is to say, in the golden age of globalization when the situation of photolithography machines is uncertain, there is an opportunity to acquire Cymer.
In 2001, Amerikan gained huge benefits from economic globalization. Whether it was Wall Street, Washington or Silicon Valley, they all benefited from it. Americen Capital is like no one else in the world. In later generations, almost all mainstream Internet applications in most countries and regions except China were manufactured by Amerikan.
This is the foundation laid in the era of economic globalization. No one can guess now that in the future Amerikan will personally overturn the global trade order he established, and will be crazy enough to kick out major manufacturing countries.
Nowadays, globalization is the consensus. It is impossible for one company to handle the upstream and downstream of the supply chain. No matter what field it is, it is normal for multiple companies in multiple countries to work together to jointly create the final product.
Therefore, Xinxin Technology's attempt to acquire Cymer did not cause much discussion in the industry. It was nothing more than a complaint that the big dog bought a new toy.
However, the acquisition of Cymer is still in the early stages of negotiation, because the acquisition of them requires permission from the Americen Foreign Investment Committee.
When later ASML acquired Cymer, it needed to obtain antitrust approval from the Amerikan Foreign Investment Committee as well as Neon, Koryo, Wanwan, Deutsche and Israel.
This is because the major shareholders behind ASML at the time were Intel, TSMC, Samsung and Wall Street Capital, while Cymer shareholders included Israel, Neon and Deutsche.
It took a full year from the announcement to the final completion of this acquisition. In October 2012, the ASML board of directors announced that it would acquire Cymer, and Americen's Department of Justice launched a monopoly investigation. In April 2013, the monopoly investigation was stopped. It was not until the end of 2013 that the transaction was finally approved by various countries.
Xinxin Technology's acquisition of Cymer is not that complicated, because the capital behind Xinxin Technology is only Zhou Xin, and Xinxin lithography machine is very far away from monopolizing the lithography machine market.
Therefore, if Xinxin Technology wants to acquire Cymer, it only needs to obtain permission from the Foreign Investment Committee.
As for whether Americen's foreign committee would agree to the acquisition at the moment, Zhou Xin didn't know, but he wanted to give it a try. Because Cymer is the most important link in the upstream and downstream of the EUV lithography machine industry chain besides lenses.
If given the opportunity, he would even like to acquire Cymer's upstream supplier, Trumpf, a German manufacturer specializing in laser instruments. The laser is also the core component of the lithography machine.
Even if there is even the slightest chance, Zhou Xin wants to try. If he wants to convince the Committee on Foreign Investment in Washington, he can persuade them through lobbying. China will join the WTO at the end of this year. At this point in time, Zhou Xin thinks it is There is a certain chance that the lobbying can be successful.
So if you don't try now, you won't have any chance in a few years. The upper echelons of the empire are still immersed in the afterglow of the great victory, looking up to the world and looking invincible. Now Amerikan has not regarded China as a competitor.
As for the US$3 billion to acquire Cymer, it is a lot to other companies, but nothing to Zhou Xin. Not to mention the one-fish-two-eating technique he learned from Goldman Sachs, which allowed him to achieve substantial profits by investing in high-margin companies in the S&P 500 index when the Nasdaq bubble burst.
Zhou Xin invested money in Xinxin Technology, Matrix mobile phone research and development and some other investments, and he still holds tens of billions of liquid assets.
No matter what happens, even if Zhou Xin has no money, there are many people who want to lend him money.
If he spends three billion to buy it now, fifteen years from now, even if Amerikan wants to take advantage of him, it will have to be multiplied by at least ten.
Three billion is the market value of Cymer. Zhou Xinmai only bought part of the shares. Buying 55% of the shares is expected to give a 50% premium, which means acquiring 55% of Cymer's shares at a valuation of 4.5 billion. This premium is not high, because ASML originally acquired Cymer 12 years later and completed the acquisition at a premium of 61% of Cymer's market value at that time.
From an investment perspective, acquiring Cymer is not a good deal, because its current market value is US$3 billion. Twelve years later, Cymer’s market value has become US$2.5 billion, which is lower than before.
From a strategic perspective, the acquisition of Cymer is very worthwhile, just to intervene in advance at the key node of EUV lithography machine technology.
It is true that Zhou Xin has memories of the future, but memories from the future cannot help him defeat the semiconductor industry that a global group of 100,000 engineers has spent decades building.
So whether it is establishing Xinxin Technology, supporting China's semiconductor industry, building Matrix to become a core chain owner in the mobile Internet era, or acquiring suppliers of key upstream and downstream semiconductor technologies, these are all to help China and himself. Semiconductor companies under control can benefit as much as possible from the existing semiconductor industry system.
When Xinxin Technology, controlled by Zhou Xin, frequently attacked the upstream and downstream of the semiconductor industry chain, Mphone's influence gradually began to be released.
Take mobile payment as an example. The more scenarios that support mobile payment offline, the more powerful mobile payment will be.
Compared with credit cards, mobile payment is not that convenient. Its convenience is limited. With a credit card, swiping the card and signing means completing a payment. Mobile payment calls up the QR code and scanning the code means completing a payment.
In fact, there is not much difference between the two. Electronic payment is popular in China because the credit card payment habits of the majority of user groups have not been well developed. Under this premise, mobile payment is more convenient, which is also an advantage.
In Amerikan, credit cards have a history of more than 50 years. The system is mature enough and consumers have developed habits and dependence on credit cards. In this context, the convenience of mobile payment is not enough. to impress users.
The advantage of NewPay, which is now integrated with Mphone, compared with credit cards, is the discount function. Every discount paid with NewPay is visible to the naked eye.
Whether users receive coupons from WeChat groups, WeChat official accounts or corporate official websites, after using NewPay to pay, the amount of each deduction will be clearly displayed to the user.
After each month's electronic bill is pulled out, NewPay will specifically note how much money was saved by using electronic payment this month.
At first, only Wal-Mart launched this function. Later, more and more consumer companies launched the function. By the end of the first quarter, 13 national chain consumer brands supported NewPay payment.
Some of these brands are supported in some regions, and some are supported nationwide. Among them, apart from Wal-Mart, McDonald's is the fastest supported brand.
All offline stores are directly operated, resulting in McDonald's headquarters having extraordinary control over the stores.
According to McDonald's early data analysis, NewPay has indeed had an effect on the sales growth of a single store, and the effect is showing a growing trend.
For example, store A began to support NewPay payment, introduced enterprise QQ and established a user base. Revenue increased by 3% in the first month, 5% in the second month, and 7% in the third month.
In other words, the more popular Mphone is, the more obvious the role of electronic consumer coupons will be.
At the same time, consumer companies have also discovered that they can use electronic consumer coupons to promote some products that are not selling well and expired products.
Originally, I needed to place the products that were about to expire in a conspicuous place and put up a big sign to tell consumers that these products were at a 50% discount.
Consumers will only see this message when they pass by this stall. Now I share the message to all customers in the group through the group and issue vouchers.
Originally I was offering a 50% discount, but now I am offering a 30% discount offline. In addition, I will issue 30% off coupons to the user group for upcoming products. These coupons support a discount of 0.7*0.7=0.49.
Similarly, last-minute goods are 50% off for consumers in the user group, and 30% off for offline consumers. Walmart has found that by adopting simultaneous online and offline promotions and differentiated pricing, not only can the goods on expiry date be digested more There are many, and the price is even higher.
Consumer companies have begun to voluntarily study how to use coupons and user groups to maximize benefits for the company.
For consumer groups, discounts are always the most intuitive marketing tool.
In the taxi-hailing war of later generations, mobile phone-hailing quickly changed the tradition of Chinese consumers taking taxis for travel. The poor service attitude of the taxi industry was a secondary reason, and large subsidies for mobile phone-hailing were the fundamental reason.
It's the same now. I can save points with a credit card, but the problem is that the redemption of points won't be until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Using electronic payment, you can save money with every transaction, and after entering the second quarter, in addition to Walmart, Carrefour will support NewPay and launch online stores.
In other words, two of the world's three largest retail brands have begun to support NewPay payment.
In the enterprise instant messaging battlefield, Enterprise QQ is chasing MSN, ICQ and Yahoo Messenger with its unique electronic payment advantages.
In the field of Internet companies and traditional industries, Enterprise QQ barely maintained its first position. The other three instant messaging software companies were closely chasing after them, and their market share was not far ahead.
However, in the consumer-oriented field, enterprise QQ occupies the absolute lead. More than 80% of consumer companies only consider enterprise QQ.
In China, QQ is a non-mainstream exclusive, but in America, it has become an instant messaging software used by professional elites. This change made Pony Ma sigh with emotion: When oranges grow in Huainan, they become oranges, and when they grow in Huaibei, they become oranges. There is still some truth to what the ancients said.
The great popularity of Enterprise QQ in Americen has also attracted the attention of domestic media. In particular, Tencent, as the first company invested by Zhou Xin at the Millennium Internet Conference, has been a great success in Americen. This fact itself It's very newsworthy.
"The "Death" and "Life" of Tencent", Southern Weekend's cover article detonated public opinion in China, occupying four pages and focusing on Tencent's great success in going global, focusing the attention of Chinese Internet people on Tencent On the body.
At this time, Legend of Mir has not yet been released, NetEase and Sohu are still on the eve of their listing, the Internet is in chaos, and the focus of the media is still focused on the Chinese men's football team's six-game victory in the Asian qualifiers to advance to the top ten.
The media and the public are paying attention to whether the men's football team can enter the World Cup. Although they have won all six games in the Asian qualifiers, some viewers still think that the top ten games are where the men's football team makes a fool of themselves. It is difficult to enter the World Cup.
Those who hold this view are all old fans. Old fans do not dare to have too much hope for the men's football team and can only use lowering expectations to make themselves feel better when facing the results.
Six of the ten posts on the Tianya Forum are analyzing whether the men's football team can successfully qualify for the top ten. On suspicion, there is even more debate over this issue.
The Southern Weekly's cover article about Tencent focused the public's attention on Tencent.
The previous success of Tencent in Silicon Valley was only scattered and concentrated on the Internet. The vast majority of Chinese people did not know about it, let alone have any idea.
Compared with the Internet, 2001 was the end of the golden age of print media. Southern Weekly had a strong influence in most of China. After the article was published, everyone's discussion changed from men's football to Tencent.
Because almost every Internet user has used QQ, QQ is a product of Tencent. Tencent has achieved great success in Silicon Valley, overwhelming Microsoft, Yahoo and Americen in the online market.
The interweaving of information gave everyone an unreal feeling, and also made this news full of explosive points.
"Ma Huateng appeared at the Yanjing Marriott Hotel, wearing a striped shirt, a baby face, a simple and elegant hairstyle and thin-rimmed glasses. A hint of youthfulness and excitement can be seen in his talkative style.
After coming out of the Marriott Hotel, as the founder of Tencent, Ma Huateng had just received tens of millions of investments from Zhou Xin, which freed him from the anxiety that the company was about to collapse. This is because Tencent’s product qq is loved by a large number of Chinese users, but Tencent has not found a way to make money from qq. They can only spend money on this product to buy servers and networks. Without investment, Tencent’s cash About to dry up.
The reporters gathered in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel at that time obviously had an extraordinary interest in Tencent, the first Chinese Internet company to receive investment from Zhou Xin. Reporters asked Ma Huateng many questions. In the end, these answers were not published in newspapers and magazines because more than ten Internet companies subsequently received investment from Zhou Xin.
In this context, reporters believed that Tencent was able to win the first place just because they were lucky in terms of ranking. Tencent's business model-instant messaging was unattractive compared with portals and e-commerce at the time.
Readers have no idea what instant messaging is, let alone have any interest in it.
Later, all newspapers and magazines focused their attention on the three portal giants NetEase, Sohu and Sina. NetEase and Sohu gained Zhou Xin's recognition, while Sina gained nothing. I don’t know how Ma Huateng, who saw these newspapers at the time, felt about all this. Tencent was just a supporting role, with only one sentence.
Compared with other Internet company leaders, Ma Huateng’s media exposure is very low. He is unanimously evaluated as "low-key" both inside and outside the company. More often, he likes to sit in Tencent's headquarters in SEG Technology Park, Huaqiangbei, Pengcheng, testing the company's products.
The cooperation between Ma Huateng and Zhou Xin is a miracle for the Chinese Internet. Together, they created a new business model for IM (Instant Messenger), an Internet product recognized by the industry as unprofitable.
In recent years, with the surge in "Internet stocks", some people have called the "high-tech industries" represented by the information and Internet industries the "new economy."
In China, entrepreneurs who represent the new economy have no connection with the word "original sin." Their growth relies more on the "blood transfusion" of foreign venture capital, and their profit model is based on a huge user base.
NetEase, Sohu, Alibaba, and Tencent are actually young companies that are fully integrated with international standards from the inside out.
In February 1998, Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong developed Chinese ICQ, also known as qq. Before that, in 1996, four Israelis invented the earliest instant messaging software-ICQ.
In November 1999, the 10th month after the launch of OICQ, the number of registered people had exceeded 1 million. At that time, Ma Huateng and his team had been paying money to do QQ, and at the same time doing some small jobs that were not eye-catching, the money they earned Spend it immediately on QQ. They work so hard just to allow most netizens to download QQ from the Internet for free and then use it for free; for this reason, Tencent has to pay a considerable server hosting fee to the telecommunications bureau.
As the number of users continued to rise, Ma Huateng originally wanted to sell QQ. I negotiated with several companies, but couldn't reach agreement due to price issues. QQ couldn't be sold, but its users were growing rapidly. The cost of operating QQ was getting higher and higher, so Tencent's founding team had to raise money everywhere. When we went to the bank, the bank said that they had never heard of applying for a mortgage loan based on the "number of registered users." We had never done this kind of business, and we had never heard of any bank offering this kind of loan product.
There is no profit model and we can only provide free services. There was a popular saying in the industry at that time, "In the Internet field, it is really difficult for you to see clearly. This field is so new that even the laws of value and business laws are brand new and even anti-traditional."
"Time" editor-in-chief Walter's evaluation of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos seems to be used as an explanation: "He (Bezos) tried to build a company based on growth rate rather than profit. This sounds a bit It’s incredible, but this idea, for better or worse, undoubtedly changed the entire economic model in 1999.”
Understanding this, you can understand why all companies operating on the Internet, including the famous Yahoo, Amazon, etc., seem to be losing money.
The only exception is Zhou Xin, a talented entrepreneur named Xin, who has an extraordinary persistence in the traditional business model in the new economic field. He adheres to one principle in his entrepreneurship, and that is profitability.
According to Zhou Xin's talk at the Internet Conference, his maximum tolerance for a loss-making Internet company is two years. If he cannot find a profit model in two years, then he will consider the company out of his investment scope.
If we follow this investment philosophy, it seems difficult for Tencent to achieve profitability within two years. However, among the entrepreneurs who went to Zhou Xin during the Internet Conference, Ma Huateng’s Tencent was the first Internet company to receive investment. Looking back now Looking at it, we have to suspect that Zhou Xin has already thought of a way to make money for QQ.
At that time, the Internet heat wave swept over from the United States on the other side of the ocean. The Nasdaq index soared from 500 points in 1991 to over 5,000 points in December 1999. The prosperity of the market ignited risks. Investor enthusiasm.
At that time, Tencent's founder team took 6 revised versions of a business plan with more than 20 pages, and relied on the "number of users" to try to get US$2.2 million from IDG and Yingke Digital. As a result, the heat wave on Nasdaq came so quickly, and the cold air from Nasdaq was transmitted to China just as quickly.
The weather in December changes so quickly. In the first half of the month, it was a heat wave in Hawaii, and in the second half of the month, it turned into a cold wind in Alaska. The Nasdaq index stopped growing and fell 10%. The entire venture capital market seemed to have pressed the pause button.
For Tencent, their financing process has also been suspended. Without investment, Tencent's servers and network can no longer be maintained. Under such a prospect, the Internet Conference at the turn of the century was held, and Zhou Xin's statement undoubtedly relieved all the Internet entrepreneurs present.
At least there is hope. Zhou Xin, who has a huge amount of funds in his hands, is comparable to an angel. Internet entrepreneurs know that there is a place where they may be able to obtain venture capital.
Even if they fail to obtain venture capital from Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin's statement can also give other foreign-funded venture capital institutions a reassurance. Going to see Zhou Xin with an anxious attitude, Tencent successfully obtained its first venture capital investment.
With this venture capital, Tencent has embarked on the fast track of development. The qq show helped Tencent find a way to make profits from IM software. The release of enterprise qq allowed them to achieve breakeven for the first time.
Enterprise QQ is the first time that China Internet did not copy the business model of foreign Internet, but developed its own business model. After this business model entered Silicon Valley, it was quickly copied by the giants of Amerikan.
Moreover, Tencent is the only company with development and design departments in China and a sales deployment team in America. According to our interview with Zeng Liqing, one of the founders of Tencent, he told us that they now have some engineers who work exclusively at night. The purpose of this class is to deal with the business needs reported back by Amerikan. Because after Enterprise QQ landed on Americen, it faced competition from local Internet companies in Americen. Enterprise QQ needed to update and iterate faster than them in order to win the market.
Tencent adheres to the attitude of responding to business needs at any time. It became a partner of Walmart in the second half of last year and was the first to launch the concept of consumer groups at the end of last year. Group chat was the main function of Enterprise QQ when it was launched in China, which is equivalent to enterprise QQ. Internal customized chat rooms also have functions such as file transfer and document sharing.
The consumer group creatively brings enterprise employees and consumers into the same digital space for dialogue and communication. In this way, the distance between enterprises and consumers is instantly shortened through group chat. Enterprises can directly provide discounts to consumers through consumer groups, and consumers can give real-time feedback to enterprises through consumer groups. The combination of consumer groups and online Walmart has enabled online Walmart to achieve a qualitative leap in user experience.
This is also the most important weapon for Enterprise QQ to expand aggressively in the American enterprise instant messaging software market. We have no way of knowing whether the creativity behind it comes from Zhou Xin, Tencent itself, or the result of joint exchanges and discussions between the two parties. However, Tencent’s magic weapon to defeat competitors in this field is not only product creativity, but also service spirit. .
Foreign Internet companies cannot respond in real time when it comes to enterprise instant messaging software. Tencent, which is thousands of miles away, can do it. There is a time difference problem, and they can also solve problems for users remotely. Other companies update versions on a monthly basis, but Tencent updates on a weekly basis or even a daily basis. Sometimes a small version will be released in three days to solve some existing problems.
This kind of service spirit is worth learning from other Internet companies in China."
The Southern Weekly article pushed Tencent to the forefront. At this time, the number of registered QQ users exceeded 30 million, and the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 3 million.
QQ has a lot of users, but Tencent doesn’t have many users. In addition to people who pay attention to the Internet industry, they have some impressions of Tencent. They know that it was the first Internet company to receive investment from Zhou Xin at the first Internet Conference the year before last.
The impression of Tencent ends here. Tencent has not been listed on the market. In China, it has only launched QQ Show. QQ Show has 3 million online users and only 100,000 users have made purchases.
Those who are most impressed by Tencent should be the companies in the SEG Technology Park in Huaqiangbei, Pengcheng, and the residents living around the SEG Technology Park.
Tencent's earliest office area was in Tencent's SEG Technology Park. After achieving breakeven last year and deciding to enter Silicon Valley, Tencent also received another venture capital investment from Zhou Xin, and it was this venture capital that allowed Zhou Xin to Tencent’s shareholding ratio increased to 51%.
The first thing Tencent did after getting rich was to rent out all the 4th to 10th floors of the entire second east building of SEG Technology Park. The highest of the 4 buildings was only 10 floors. Tencent initially only rented 403 on the 4th floor.
Employees of other companies in SEG Technology Park began to find that no matter how late they got off work, the lights in the East 4th Building were always on.
The security guards in this building discovered that they didn't have to stay in the security room at all. There was always someone there anyway.
So some employees from other companies went to Tencent specifically to visit, only to find out that this company was Tencent. They have a 24-hour work system and need to have someone on duty at all times.
Some of these drop-in employees went to work at Tencent, just like MSN and QQ were fighting in China. Then MSN’s product manager, Xiong Zhihua, who had worked at Microsoft headquarters for nine years, was poached. Tencent went to Tencent, and Zheng Zhihao, the product manager in charge of MSN space, was also poached to Tencent. Now Tencent has extraordinary appeal for people who like to toss.
Discussions about Tencent spread in major online forums:
"Does anyone know about Enterprise QQ? I see that Tencent is highly praised in Southern Weekly. It sounds a bit like the light of China's Internet. Tencent is still a bit far behind Zhou Xin, right?"
"Mainly because Zhou Xin has made great achievements in Silicon Valley and the products he has produced are all world-class. The problem is that Zhou Xin has nothing to do with China. The only relationship is that he is a Chinese. Zhou Xin's entrepreneurship is in In Silicon Valley, all employees are from Silicon Valley, business registration, tax payment, and target users are all from Amerikan. We will only feel admiration for Zhou Xin, but we will not feel close to him.
Do you think some people think that Quora, Riot Games, and NewPay are Chinese companies? Not at all, not even Zhou Xin’s ardent supporter would think so.
Tencent is different. A Chinese company born and raised in Pengcheng, even if it enters the Americen market, its research and development is done in China, and most of its engineers are also in China. This is a rare success for a Chinese company in Americen.
If the field is limited to China, then this is even more unique. "
"I am more interested in whether Enterprise QQ is Tencent's idea or Zhou Xin's idea. If it is Tencent's own idea, that would be amazing."
"I think it should be an idea that was discussed together. Otherwise, why didn't Zhou Xin help other companies that also received investment from Zhou Xin, such as NetEase and Sohu, to design their products?"
"This depends on the investment ratio. NetEase and Sohu have already gone through financing, so the equity ratio they can give to Zhou Xin is very small. However, it has been written in Southern Weekly such as Tencent that they have not received investment before. Zhou Xin’s investment is the first one, and Zhou Xin will get much more shares.
Therefore, if Tencent operates well, it is most beneficial to Zhou Xin. "
"Has anyone ever used Enterprise QQ? I heard from my friend who works in telecommunications that they have an internal instant messaging software called Fetion."
"I have used it before. We are a large state-owned enterprise in Zhejiang Province. I won't mention the specific name. The enterprise qq that we purchased last year is really convenient after the purchase. Whether it is internal communication or some cross-department work to promote collaboration, we have group chat. The functions have become particularly convenient.
Including the document sharing function, to be honest, it is really useful. I can imagine that it will be successful, but I did not expect that Enterprise QQ can become popular abroad.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, the company's QQ compulsory check-in. It turns out that we sign in the morning. To put it bluntly, if we are a few minutes or even ten minutes late, the leader of the general department will turn a blind eye to sign in. Nowadays, if you check in via QQ at a company, you will be notified and criticized if you arrive even one minute late, and you may even be fined in the future.
But from the perspective of business management, it is obvious that there are advantages and no disadvantages. "
"I work for Zhejiang Telecom, and I really want to complain about Fetion, which we built internally. At that time, the technology department said when promoting it that it was an enterprise instant messaging software that could bring us a lot of convenience.
As a result, we didn’t experience the convenience, but found a lot of trouble for us, and we had to use it because this is a product strongly promoted by the headquarters. I guess the leaders at the headquarters will promote it even harder after seeing Southern Weekly’s report on Enterprise QQ. . "
"Brother upstairs, can you give me more details? I'm from Jiangsu Telecom, and it's said that our Fetion will be deployed soon."
"First of all, the clock-in function was very abnormal. We originally started work at 8:30. After the clock-in was introduced, the leaders began to ask everyone to clock in at 8:25, and later they even asked everyone to clock in at 8:20. In order to show up in front of the superiors, the department leaders The comparison has become more and more exaggerated, and now I have to clock in at eight o'clock, which is equivalent to arriving half an hour early.
What’s even more exaggerated is that if your boss sends you a message and you don’t reply for five minutes, Fetion will pop up a window to remind you that you need to reply. Can you explain why you said you didn’t open the software so you can’t see the message your boss sent you? That makes sense. If you haven’t seen the pop-up window, it doesn’t make sense. This also causes nerves to be tense all the time and the need to reply to messages from the leader.
This is not the most perverted feature of Fetion. The most perverted feature is that after you turn on your computer and leave the desktop, it will enter the screen-off state within five minutes. After entering the screen-off state, the computer will automatically record your screen-off time and save it to the server background every month. The human resources department will pull up a ledger to show how long each person's computer screen has been off, in addition to public break times. It made everyone afraid to go to the toilet for a long time. "
"My condolences, I clenched my fists after hearing this. Is Telecom so perverted?"
"No, our Fetion will be online soon. Is it too late for me to move it now?"
“Do you think Mobile doesn’t have similar software?”
"After I heard this, it's actually okay to check in. Checking in is a problem of your internal management and is the result of comparisons between departments. The latter two functions are indeed a bit abnormal."
"Yes, let alone the abnormality of the software, some functions that are conducive to everyone's work are also poorly done. For example, file sharing, documents that I clearly saved in the department's shared space mysteriously disappeared. Such things are just... I’ve been there more than once myself.”
At the beginning of this post, Tencent was still being discussed. Later, it was transferred to Fetion, a service provided by China Telecom. By then, no one was discussing Tencent anymore.
Everyone is madly complaining about Fetion.
As the earliest customer of enterprise qq, Guangdong Telecom developed Fetion based on the product design ideas of enterprise qq. It has added many more abnormal functions and is currently only promoted internally. In the future, Telecom plans to sell to their upstream and downstream suppliers.
“The original poster is in San Francisco now, working on the promotion of NewPay, and can tell you about Mphone, enterprise QQ and mobile payment.
After the launch of Mphone, electronic payment had a new concept, that is, mobile payment. Before Mphone QR code payment, mobile payment stayed in the field of handheld computers, and it was not called payment, but transfer.
Why can't handheld computers be transformed into electronic payments? Because handheld computers are a cost for offline stores, and if the existing code scanner wants to support QR codes, it only needs to add a QR code scanning head. , the cost is much cheaper than a handheld computer.
Another very important point is that there are very few users with handheld computers and cannot support this market. Mobile payment is different. In the foreseeable future, more and more mobile phones will support mobile payment.
Since the first half of this year, my feeling in San Francisco is that more and more stores support scan-code payment, and more and more clerks want me to join their store’s WeChat group. I go to the Bean Sprout supermarket near my home, and their clerks They all started inviting me to scan the QR code to join their WeChat group.
consumer group, just after scanning the QR code on Mphone to join, the group chat interface can be entered through WeChat on Mphone. Bean Sprout Supermarket is a chain of supermarkets that has opened many stores here in California, mainly selling fruits and vegetables.
Such regional supermarkets have begun to support offline QR code payment and introduced enterprise QQ. You can imagine how popular enterprise QQ is in California.
I don’t know about other areas, maybe because California is Zhou Xin’s home base and he has extraordinary influence in this area. We Chinese community have always said that if Zhou Xin wants to run for California governor, he will definitely succeed, but I don’t know who he is. Has your nationality been converted to Amerikan citizenship?
Then we are also using Enterprise QQ internally. They are both companies owned by Zhou Xin. NewPay and Tencent have overlap in many businesses and need to cooperate. Our internal acceptance of Enterprise QQ is very high.
Including when we go outside to communicate with other Internet companies to promote NewPay, hoping that NewPay will become their payment channel, we will introduce the company QQ to them. At the same time, the company QQ will also help NewPay in the promotion process.
Our experience using it is very good. Except for checking in, which is a bit annoying, other functions can really provide us with convenience. And Tencent's response speed is really fast. I have dealt with their engineers. Ten o'clock in the morning here is one o'clock in the morning in Yanjing time. When I contacted their engineers in Yanjing, they were all very energetic and helpful. I answer questions.
This kind of work attitude is impossible to see in the Internet companies here at Amerikan.
Because Enterprise QQ can help consumer companies market their products and help them better promote their products, almost all consumer companies will only consider Tencent when looking for cooperation with enterprise instant messaging software service providers.
We cooperate very closely with Tencent. I also know many people Tencent recruits in Silicon Valley. From their mouths, I know that Tencent is indeed doing very well in Silicon Valley and has no rivals in this field.
And because offline mobile payments can only be made through Mphone, and coupons can be used for offline mobile payments, more and more users feel that Mphone's price of US$599 is not expensive. It was difficult for me to see Mphone users outside. Now when I go to the supermarket, about one out of ten people is using Mphone to complete payment.
A brand new ecosystem has been formed between Mphone, enterprise qq and NewPay. This payment ecosystem allows consumer companies, consumers and software providers to profit from it. "
Internet companies in China are very greedy, especially the companies that Zhou Xin invested in. Everyone took money from Zhou Xin. Why is it that only you, Tencent, get the dividends?
Jack Ma discussed with Cai Chongxin. They also wanted to talk to Zhou Xin and express their demands in a tactful way.
