In addition to Tencent’s WeChat, QQ, there are also Xiaomi’s MiTalk, Mobile’s Feixin, and YY and other social software.
Before, Wang Yi didn’t make chat software, so he had no capital and could not beat Tencent.
But now, the number of Meiyou users has exceeded 60 million, and the number of "Defend Yuzu" has exceeded 80 million!
WeChat has a QQ user group as the basis, and Wang Yi can also use Meiyou and "Defend Yuzu" as the basis.
It can be said that Wang Yi now needs funds and a user base. Even if he makes a social software, he can quickly grow with Meiyou and "Defend Yuzu".
In addition to the subsequent Xingyi mobile phone, it directly has its own chat software built-in and its international advantages, which can be completely expanded.
After all, WeChat has only started for more than half a year, and it has not yet become a climate, and the total number of users is only tens of millions, which is not as good as Meiyou.
Moreover, the current market value of Tencent is only more than HK$300 billion, which is the same as HM. It is not the 3 trillion giant ten years later, and it is not invincible.
In terms of revenue, Tencent has about 28 billion yuan a year and Alibaba has more than 10 billion yuan, which is not as terrifying as the annual revenue of 600 to 700 billion yuan in ten years.
To put it bluntly, Xiaomi only started in 2011, and the three BAT giants are also developing, and they are not yet super overlords.
It is precisely because of this that Meituan cannot obtain a payment license in 2011!
Wang Yi may not be able to do the three BAT giants with a market value of trillions in a few years.
But now, Wang Yi can still make a fuss with a BAT giant with a market value of more than 300 billion yuan!
Moreover, the WeChat function is very simple now, so it has launched functions such as sending voice messages, drifting bottles, and nearby people.
I haven't even launched my Moments, and other excellent features have to wait for a long time.
For example, the most core voice calls, video calls, WeChat payment, red envelope function, transfer function, etc. were all launched in 2014.
Local life services, mini programs, etc. are even later.
If Wang Yi launched voice calls in 2012, he would be far ahead, then there would be no problem with turning around WeChat.
I got the payment license again. In early 2013, I took advantage of the New Year to launch the red envelope function, transfer function, and video function to let relatives who are thousands of miles apart to greet New Year's greetings and send red envelopes online!
With this combination of punches, it is no problem to make it bigger and stronger, and send away other social software.
Wang Yi still has a very advantage over WeChat, which is just starting out.
But the longer the time goes on, the later the social layout becomes, and the smaller the advantage.
Wang Yi has a conspiracy and social softness must be laid out as soon as possible and start as soon as possible.
There is no way, social software is too important, and Wang Yi has to do it.
In his previous life, WeChat has developed rapidly, not only becoming the number one social giant, but also using WeChat Pay to ruin Alipay!
The most obvious thing is that consumers paid more with Alipay in shopping in 2018, but after 2020, they became more with WeChat payment!
Even if Alipay is a professional payment software, it is still not as good as WeChat, a crossover player who started with social networking.
The reason is simple. A single payment software is not irreplaceable, and socialization is the key attribute.
You can pay without Alipay and WeChat.
But without WeChat, it would be difficult to rely on Alipay to socialize...
WeChat mini-programs are equivalent to a system platform with far-reaching strategic significance.
It’s unreasonable that Wang Yi doesn’t do anything about socializing!
As for the name of social software, the English name is "X Chat".
The Chinese name is "Xingchao?" "Xingyu?" "Zhichao?" "Changchao?" "Hyungshin?"
In addition, Wang Yi is familiar with WeChat and is a programmer. As long as he summons a large number of top programmers in the imperial capital, then puts forward the requirements and gives them to his subordinates for development.
The WeChat project was proposed in October 2010, and the version 0 was released in January 2011, which took about two months.
X Chat will be deployed now, and it will not be a big problem to release it in January next year.
You don’t need to make all the functions at once, just take the lead on WeChat and take it slowly.
The main feature is precision knife skills!
For example, first create the circle of friends that you didn’t do on WeChat in advance!
There are also people nearby who have already done WeChat, but Xingyi Technology needs to do better.
Not only are people nearby online, but they also directly launch nearby food and attractions!
However, you cannot use "nearby", you have to change the name, just call it "peripheral".
Food around, fun around!
This is not considered plagiarizing WeChat, after all, there have been too many upgrades.
On the contrary, WeChat has to reversely copy X Chat's surroundings and play with beautiful scenery.
Shake and change it to star language, make a starry sky background, shake the mobile phone, the galaxy is bright, and randomly link users who shake the mobile phone at the same time, far away from the galaxy, fate is tied with each other.
As for the drift bottle, it will be changed to Star News, fold the user's edited content and voice into paper airplanes, fly to the brilliant galaxy, turn into a star, and wait for someone with the fate to catch it.
Of course, users can also catch other people's star letters from the galaxy.
The gameplay is similar to the drift bottle, but it is more gorgeous.
In addition, colored star letters can be introduced, which can limit the age, gender, and even hobbies of the other party receiving the star letter... making the star letter more playable.
It is definitely better than the best.
When he arrived at Meiyou Building, Wang Yi went straight to the IT department.
During this period, the IT department has been recruiting troops.
Meiyou Technology is developing rapidly, with more and more businesses, so the more first-class developers, the better.
"Boss, you are here!" Cai Zisong hurriedly came forward. Since Wang Yi went to the imperial capital, he had not seen Wang Yi for a while.
"Meiyu0, there's no problem?"
"No problem, after multiple rounds of testing, all version 0 bugs have been fixed. You can go online at any time."
The biggest update of Meiyou 0 is the official launch of Meiyou novels.
"Very good." Wang Yi nodded: "No. 25, launch the internal test of Meiyou novels, and first recommend it to paid novel users."
"Okay, boss." Cai Zisong responded, a little reluctant to speak but stopped.
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Old Cai, Meiyou is just starting out and you follow me. Just say whatever you want, and you will know everything you know!"
"Okay!" Cai Zisong smiled slightly: "Boss, there are too many people in the IT department now. Even if some people are assigned to the game department, there are still too many tasks. However, there are obviously not so many tasks, especially after the development of version 0, there is no bug left, and the test team can continue to test, and the development team has no work to do."
Wang Yi smiled. Lao Cai was really a man. He felt that he had only paid money and didn't work in the past week, and he was a little disappointed.
"It's easy to say. I'll separate a testing department, which is specifically responsible for testing. In addition, the development team has also subdivided it into two parts. A small number of people enter the Meiyou business department and are specifically responsible for the subsequent maintenance and updates of Meiyou. There are not many major updates in the future, so there are not too many people."
After Meiyou has developed to this point, after the novel is launched, the new projects will crack and cannot continue to pile up Meiyou.
"All the remaining developers, all enter the new department and do the social software 'X Chat'!"
X Chat's important business, Wang Yi decided to hand it over to Cai Zisong's team like Meiyou.
After all, this team has been working together and has outstanding strength. Wang Yi has developed several versions of Meiyou, which is very satisfied.
There are some new developers in the imperial capital, and there may even be commercial spies.
Wang Yi didn't dare to hand over such an important business as X Chat directly to them.
On the contrary, Wang Yi will subdivid X Chat modules, and hand over the unimportant modules to the imperial capital.
Cai Zisong is responsible for the confidentiality and core modules.
After a while, it is confirmed that there is no problem for the people in the imperial capital, and then entrust the important task.
A long journey shows the power of a horse, and a long journey shows the heart of a person.
Let’s use veterans first and test the new recruits.
"Boss, do we want to socialize? Similar to WeChat, or YY?" Cai Zisong was excited and came to live!
"WeChat+YY! We don't make choices, but we all want them!"
Wang Yiwei said: "The future development direction is to be specialized. Consumers like to do subtraction and can handle it with one software. They will never like two software or even three software. So our X Chat will perfectly replace WeChat + YY. At that time, many users of WeChat and YY will flow into us."
Wang Yi knew that the subsequent Android software became more and more bloated, but the functions were the same, which made users suffer.
On the contrary, if you can handle it with one software, you can free up a lot of space and resources.
For example, ten years later, many people gave up Alipay and all in WeChat because WeChat can socialize, manage finances and transfer money.
To put it bluntly, if Alipay can do anything, WeChat can do, then it will be meaningless if you leave Alipay to take up space.
As a result, many people who are short of space have uninstalled Alipay and only left WeChat.
Similarly, social software such as MiTalk, YY, Feixin, Soul, Tantan have also been uninstalled by some users, and in the end, only WeChat + QQ may be left on the phone.
Some people even stop playing with QQ.
The general direction of ecological development is that a single software has become more and more complete functions, while the number of software on mobile phones is getting smaller and smaller.
No one likes fifty software.
After all, boys' games and teachers' classes take up a lot of space.
Girls like to take photos and videos, which is more space-consuming.
Android phones are fine, but the 512G or even the 1T version are not much more expensive.
But the iPhone costs are higher. The 256 is one thousand more expensive than the standard version of 128G, 512G is three thousand more expensive, and 1T version is five thousand more expensive!
X Chat will only be used by users if it has multiple software functions like WeChat, otherwise it will be replaced by other software and abandoned by users.
Then, Wang Yi told Cai Zisong about the core functions of X Chat 0 version one by one.
Cai Zisong took out his notebook and recorded it carefully.
With Wang Yi’s requirements, it is equivalent to completing the initial market research and user demand analysis of software development.
Afterwards, Cai Zisong analyzed the requirements put forward by Wang Yi, carried out software design, decomposed X Chat into different modules, and then arranged the different modules to the employees below to develop one by one.
Finally, the different modules are integrated and they become complete software.
After testing in the testing department, the bug was found and the bug was fixed. Finally, X Chat was developed.
The rest is internal testing, official launch and subsequent maintenance upgrades.
"Boss, don't worry, I will develop X Chat as soon as possible!" Cai Zisong promised.
The current Meiyou soldiers are numerous and wide, so it is no problem to develop the X0 version.
Wang Yi nodded: "We have been developing WeChat 0 for more than two months, and we are more complicated, but I will give you two months too!"
"This..." Cai Zisong's face changed slightly: "Boss, we have a lot of pressure. After all, we have more functions, which is equivalent to WeChat version 0!"
"Indeed, the task volume is larger, but WeChat is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and we are crossing the river by feeling the WeChat. So the task volume is larger, but it is easier."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "So, I'll give you two months, and you can recruit if you don't have enough manpower. In addition, the software development department in the imperial capital can also be handed over to you to command. You can hand over those non-core modules to them!"
The modules that WeChat, such as peripherals, star news, and voice messages, are not considered secrets, and it is no problem to hand them over to newly recruited employees in the Imperial Capital.
However, WeChat Moments and voice calls are not available, all the functions that WeChat does not have, and can only be completed by old employees of Cai Zisong's department.
"Okay, boss, with the help of colleagues in the imperial capital, there will be no problem." Cai Zishuang breathed a sigh of relief.
It is equivalent to the two development departments promoting at the same time, and the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.
And Wang Yi has explained clearly how to do it. They just need to develop it, and it will be much easier.
The development of WeChat is for the development team to inspect the market by itself, analyze it by itself, design by itself, verify by itself, and often take detours...
"Come on, I hope X Chat can successfully log on to Xingyi's mobile phone in two months!"
Wang Yi patted Cai Zisong on the shoulder. This is the most important thing right now!
After all, WeChat and MiTalk have started, and X Chat is already a year late and has to catch up.
"Okay, boss, please make sure to complete it!" Cai Zisong was full of fighting spirit.
He knew that how many year-end bonuses he could get depends on the development progress of X Chat.
Development is progressing smoothly, and year-end bonuses are indispensable.
If the development is not going well, it is hard to say that the year-end bonus will be given.
"In the future, X Chat will be the core business, and in a sense, it is more important than Meiyou. So next time, you can recruit top programmers. But pay attention to personnel screening and background investigations, and don't let people get in." Wang Yiyu said earnestly.
"Don't worry, the newly hired employees will go through multiple rounds of screening and investigation. They will not be exposed to the most core business in the early stage."
"Okay!" Wang Yi nodded and turned around and left.
Meiyou has developed to version 0 and has been launched on the novel, and it will be over for the time being.
The subsequent increase is only an increase in business scope.
For example, Meiyou Mall launched a new category.
However, the core functions will not be updated significantly in a short period of time. As for Meiyu 0, it is even more distant.
But X Chat is different, and will continue to update, upgrade, and add new functions in the future.
X Chat is the core business.
After all, X Chat's positioning is to realize the functions of WeChat in previous lives in advance, surpass WeChat, and replace WeChat!
All reborn, how can you not have any ambition?
In the past life, Alibaba was the dominant player in the e-commerce field, but later JD.com and PDD three countries killed.
Especially after the economy is down, consumption has declined, and PDD has a tendency to surpass Alibaba!
But in the social field, WeChat is the only one in the world and the leading one.
The only brothers in the second place is QQ.
Wang Yi could not give up such an important business.
X Chat can only succeed, not fail.
But how to flip WeChat is the problem, and you need to study it carefully.
Afterwards, Wang Yi went to the game department again.
Seeing Wang Yi coming, Liang Qiye was stunned for a moment, then walked over with a smile: "Boss, you are here!"
Wang Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, "Defending Yuzi" is very successful. All employees of your department will receive the year-end bonus!"
"The boss is wise!"
Everyone in the room was excited.
The biggest advantage of Meiyu is that more people can gain.
The year-end bonus will be higher if the department has outstanding performance. The year-end bonus will be lower if the department has the lowest performance.
Before, "Defending the Pomelo" was not launched, and the game department could only watch other departments win the quarterly prize, but it didn't have a single point.
Now I finally have the clouds to clear and the moon is clear, and the year-end bonus is stable!
"But!" Wang Yi paused:
"The year-end bonus is also divided into levels. Whether you win a big prize or a small prize depends on the revenue in the next few months. The revenue of "Defending the Pomelo" continues to rise, and the big prize cannot be eliminated. If the revenue declines, you can only win a small prize. If the revenue collapses, there will only be a little comfort prize left."
"this……"
The smiles on the faces of the room were stiff.
I thought that if the game became popular, I could win the year-end prize, but I could only win the prize. How much I got depends on the subsequent market performance.
To put it bluntly, what Wang Yi wants is not just a good start, but a subsequent sustainable development!
"Don't worry, boss, our department is not arrogant when it wins, and not discourage when it loses. Since the big hit of "Defend the Eucalyptus", we have worked more overtime. We are constantly optimizing the game experience, developing new maps and new modes. At present, the first major update of "Defend the Eucalyptus" is ready, not only adding new themes, but also opening the challenge mode!"
"Very good. When revenue declines, we have to start launching a new version."
"Yes!" Liang Qiye responded.
"After making version 1, we will advance 2 and 3. At that time, we can take time to do "Defend the Pomelo 2"!" Wang Yiyu said earnestly:
"From the future, your department will be responsible for the development of "Defend the Pomelo". Your performance and year-end bonus are also linked to the revenue of "Defend the Pomelo", and they will prosper and lose together."
"I understand!" Liang Qiye took a deep breath and realized the seriousness of the situation.
As a stand-alone game, "Defending Yuzu" will not be popular for two years.
The public is fond of the old and new!
Therefore, you have to do "Defend the Pomelo 2" in half a year and you have to launch it in a year.
This way, we can continue to retain users and continue to make profits!
More importantly, if Meiyou does not do "Defend Yuzu 2", other competitors will follow suit.
So Meiyu can only run faster!
"This month's revenue is good. Your department's performance this month will all double the coefficient! Next month, continue to work hard!"
Wang Yi patted Liang Qiye on the shoulder and turned around and left.
Cheers came from inside the house.
In Meiyou and Xingyi Technology, most of them are basic salary + performance.
As long as you complete the established business, it will be 0 performance. If the revenue is high, it will be 5 times the performance.
For example, "Defending the Pomelo" exploded directly, that is 0 times the performance.
Of course, if you fail to complete the established task, it will be 5 times the performance, or even 0 performance, and you will only get a basic salary.
It is absolutely impossible for Meyou Technology to get a high salary even if you are stumbled.
Wang Yi doesn’t support idle people.
At this time, Song Sining's secretary Yu Xue came over: "Boss, there is still half an hour left to be the groundbreaking ceremony of Meiyou Technology Park."
"Okay, let's go!" Wang Yi went out of the door, and Wu Shuang was already waiting in the car.
Ten minutes later, Wang Yi came to a construction site, with a total of 300 acres, which was the future Meiyou Technology Park!
The construction site was surrounded by excavators, forklifts, tower cranes, and parked inside.
There are still many workers waiting in there, who are the contractors.
The contractor was found by Song Sining before. It is very reliable and has a high cost performance. It only costs half of the money, which is enough and can also ensure quality and quantity.
For general projects, we will look for the general contractor. If the total contractor is 20%, then the second contractor is 2, then the second contractor is 3, then the second contractor is 3...
If we divide it layer by layer, the total of 1 billion projects in the first and second phases of the Science and Technology Park will eventually fall into the hands of the construction party, leaving only 300 million. It’s a big deal if we don’t cut corners!
If the subcontractor in the middle defaults on the project payment and causes the construction party to fail to get the money, it will have a great impact.
Meiyou Technology must be affected.
So, Song Sining did not look for those famous general contractors, but instead directly looked for local high-quality construction parties!
After all, even if you find a general contractor, the local construction party will come to the construction in the end, and it may not be of high quality.
Now Meiyou directly contacts the local construction party, and without the middlemen making a difference, the 1 billion project only takes 500 million yuan to complete, Meiyou Technology directly saves 500 million yuan.
The construction party can also make 200 million more, ensuring that the materials are used and the quality is better. There is no need to worry that the project payment will be misappropriated by the middle and will not be able to get the wages.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
The only hard work is those who are in charge of general contractors and subcontractors, and they cannot make money or get commissions.
Wang Yi didn't mind this.
Just like e-commerce, why can we reduce prices?
All of them are no middlemen to make a difference.
Times are changing, everything is changing.
Of course, Wang Yi can play this mode, and it will be difficult for others to think about this.
Any monster that jumps out of trouble will make people difficult.
But Wang Yi doesn't care. Meiyou is a big taxpayer in the high-tech zone. Not only the high-tech zone, but even Jeju are paying attention.
If there is really someone who dares to jump out and find trouble, it will be fun.
What's more, Meiyu's legal affairs are not vegetarians.
Those who are frivolous are typically bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
Meiyu is no longer something they can mess with now.
"Dr. Wang, you are here!"
Seeing Wang Yi coming, He Dean, the general contractor and construction manager, came to greet him with a smile.
As the top local construction party in Jeju, he has a variety of construction teams, including earthwork, foundation pits, elevators, and firefighting construction teams.
The main focus is to have a complete team and strong overall strength.
Therefore, many major projects in Jeju were included in them, and they were the ones who came to construct them in the end.
But they received the project payment, but only 30% of the total project payment.
The remaining 70% were taken away by the general contractors for two and three... layer by layer.
The Meiyou Technology Park project directly asked him, the lower-level construction party, to be the general contractor, and directly received 50% of the project payment. He Dean felt that he had made a big profit.
It is precisely because of this that the 500 million interest-free loan provided by the Hi-Tech Management Committee was originally only enough to build the first phase of Meiyou Technology Park. Now, it is enough to build the first phase of the first phase of the second phase of the capital.
"Do it well, there will be three phases in the future, and even other projects." Wang Yi said meaningfully.
"There are other projects!" He Dean was extremely excited and completely understood what Wang Yi meant: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely ensure quality and quantity, and I will never disappoint you."
"Okay." Wang Yi nodded, but thought to himself that if He Dean was really good, he could join the company and become the imperial contractor.
After all, Meiyou has real estate qualifications, and there are three communities + a skyscraper waiting to be developed.
At the moment, the developer of Meiyou Technology Park is Meteor Real Estate Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Xingyi Technology, and the contractor is Dean Construction Co., Ltd.
If He Dean is really reliable, he will be the imperial contractor of Meteor Real Estate in the future.
If it is unreliable, then you will miss this wave of wealth.
Many years later, after He Dean finished other people's projects, he would be worried about his death if he only asked for the project payment.
Many times I can’t even get out of my blood after drinking until I vomit.
Even though he was obviously owed the project payment, he still had to use the money to make some money and give gifts everywhere...
But these will never appear here in Wang Yi.
"Dr. Wang, long time no see!"
A loud voice sounded and several figures came over.
"Director Hong!" Wang Yi smiled slightly and went up to meet him.
God of Wealth is here.
These three hundred acres of land were given to Director Hong.
It is worth mentioning that these 300 acres of land are not valuable industrial land, but very valuable commercial land, worth 1.5 billion.
Industrial land can only be built into industrial parks. Even if office buildings and apartments are built, they cannot be sold separately and can only be used for their own use.
But commercial land is different. You can build office buildings or apartments, and you can sell them to the outside world!
Therefore, the price of commercial land is also much more expensive than that of industrial land.
Although the nearby area is still Dadong Suburbs, it is not valuable, with only 1.5 billion yuan in 300 acres.
But after a few years, the Meiyou 518 Building will be completed and the nearby one will be demolished. The financial center will be implemented. This is the future financial center, and it will become every inch of land!
Then this piece of land is not 1.5 billion, but 5 billion, or even more!
More importantly, Wang Yi didn't spend even the 1.5 billion.
It was entirely a bet between the High-tech Zone Management Committee and Wang Yi in order to retain Meiyou Technology.
As long as Meiyou achieves 3 billion revenue within two years, the 300 acres of commercial land will be given to Wang Yi for free, and 500 million interest-free loans will be provided to Wang Yi to complete the first phase of the construction of Meiyou Technology Park.
Unexpectedly, how can it take two years?
Wang Yi completed the bet in less than two months and picked up 300 acres of land for free!
"Director Hong, Director Hong, you are such a great charity!"
Wang Yi laughed silently, of course the Management Committee did not pay any compensation.
After all, when Meiyu reaches this point, paying taxes every year is a terrifying number.
This 1.5 billion land can be earned soon, and the subsequent taxes will be collected for nothing.
As for political achievements, let alone.
So much so that Director Hong is now attending the city meeting!
"Dr. Wang, you haven't seen each other for a while, you really shocked me!"
Director Hong looked complicated: "A few months ago, you had to borrow even 500 million yuan in project funds, but now, 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars of strategic investment in BYD! Awesome, so amazing!"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Director Hong has been optimistic about Meiyou early in the morning, which is really amazing!"
"Hahaha." Director Hong was in a good mood. Wang Yi did not get too far away just because he became bigger.
This kind of personality made him look up again.
"Director Hong, the time is up. Let's cut the groundbreaking ceremony for the Meiyou Technology Park!" Wang Yi made a gesture of invitation.
"Okay! Please, Director Wang!" Director Hong said with a smile.

Chapter completed!
