"Is Changchat going to have over 100 million users?"
Wang Xing was so startled that he didn't even hear the second half of the sentence: "When we signed the contract, there were only over 50 million chat users, right? Will it break 100 million so soon? This..."
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Fifty million, that's all in the old calendar, now it's 90 million, and it won't be any difficult to break 100 million before the end of the month."
Without Xiao Lizi’s endorsement, it would still take two months for Changchao to have over 100 million users.
However, with the endorsement of Xiao Lizi, Changchao’s popularity has skyrocketed. Coupled with its powerful functions and high-quality experience, it is natural for the number of users to surge rapidly.
These days, the power of superstar spokespersons is so terrifying.
Wang Xing's expression was complicated, and he couldn't help but feel a little sour: "Awesome, really awesome! When will our Meituan have over 100 million users?"
"There will be, probably by the end of this year." Wang Yixiao said, "The premise is that you have to persevere and outlast all the competitors!"
"Okay, Director Wang, I'll go all out!" Wang Xing felt that he was good again: "What about Baidu Nuomi, Ali's reputation, as long as I have the support of Director Wang, I can do it all."
"Hahaha." Wang Yi laughed: "I admire your... drive!"
Well, with Wang Xing’s Meituan attracting the firepower of Alibaba and Baidu, Wang Yi can also develop Amap Taxi and Ele.me takeaway with peace of mind.
Wang Xing changed the subject: "Director Wang, the pressure on my side is indeed a bit high right now. The actions of Alibaba and Baidu are too terrifying, and all kinds of resources are being smashed..."
Wang Yi understood what Wang Xing meant, this was for practical benefits!
This is why Wang Xing wants to invest: "It's easy to say, next time the xphone 1 system is updated, all Meituan APP will be built in!"
"Thank you! Thank you, Director Wang!" Wang Xing beamed with joy, and that was what he wanted.
Now Changchao has a built-in first-level entrance to Meituan, which can bring a large number of users to Meituan.
However, this first-level entrance to chatting is not as convenient as having the Meituan app built directly into your phone.
That’s equivalent to tens of millions of Xingyi mobile phones, all of which have the Meituan APP built-in!
In the future, if the sales of Xingyi mobile phones surge, it will not be a matter of tens of millions, but tens of millions!
By then, Meituan will definitely explode!
Wang Xing was overjoyed: "Director Wang, I changed all Meituan's default payment methods to Changchao Pay!"
Reciprocate favor and exchange resources.
What Alibaba wants is a monopoly, allowing Meituan to use Alipay as its only payment method.
Wang Yi had no requirement for this, but Xingyi’s mobile phone had the Meituan APP built into it. Wang Xing couldn’t play dumb and decisively changed Meituan’s default payment method to Changchao Pay.
Of course, users do not need to pay via Changchat, but can also choose Alipay or UnionPay.
It just requires a few more clicks every time and is not as convenient as the default chat payment.
Over time, users will be completely accustomed to using the default Changchao payment, and give up Alipay and UnionPay...
"Okay." Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction, and the guy started.
That's how doing business is, mutual benefit, but don't force the other party.
Everyone has their own bottom line, and if you have to adjust based on other people's bottom line, you are seeking death.
Alibaba is just too arbitrary. It frequently acquires comprehensive assets, the founding team leaves, and laymen take charge of experts...
They also want Meituan to only use Alipay, or even annex Meituan...
This led to the breakup between Meituan and Alibaba, giving Wang Yi an opportunity.
After get off work, Wang Yi went straight to Lin Shu's house.
His original Yihe villa is still under renovation.
Since several construction teams are advancing at the same time, and one construction team is responsible for one floor, the efficiency is greatly improved.
As of now, most of the decoration has been completed, and in two months, basically everything will be done.
Calculating the time, the decoration was completed in April and it was left to dry for most of half a year. The weather got cooler in November and the formaldehyde emission dropped sharply, so it was just the right time to move in.
Formaldehyde, in summer, especially above 25 degrees Celsius, releases more than ten times as much as in autumn and winter!
Wang Yi doesn't dare to live in a new house in summer, it's just a suicide attempt.
But many college students who have just started working don’t know this. Most of them come to a new city during the graduation season and work and rent an apartment.
Experienced people would rather choose an old house with poor decoration, or even an old and shabby house.
But new students prefer brand-new apartments that have just been delivered, preferably ones that have just been built, renovated, and no one has lived in them!
But what they don't know is that in order to save costs, these brand-new apartments use low-quality decoration materials, causing the formaldehyde content to exceed the standard.
It’s the first year to move in again, and it’s still summer. The amount of formaldehyde released is more than ten times that of autumn and winter. The results can be imagined...
A classmate of Wang Yi's in his previous life went to work out of town and lived in a new apartment for a few months. He was poisoned by formaldehyde and was admitted to the ICU...
Some people buy second-hand houses and dislike old houses with ordinary decoration that have been lived in for several years.
On the contrary, I like the kind of "prospective room" that is very well decorated and looks like it costs 20,000 to 300,000 yuan, and I haven't lived in it with anyone before, so I can just move in with my bags.
Unexpectedly, most of these houses are string houses!
The same worst-quality materials, not to mention the cost of 20,000 to 300,000 yuan, are all faked out, and the proper gold and jade are ruined on the outside, just to use gorgeous decoration to raise the price and deceive the buyer.
But once the whole family moves in, it will be unthinkable...
Wang Yi would not be like this. Even if all the materials are of the best quality and Jian Ziyan personally arranged for them to be ordered, they still have to wait for half a year.
When they arrived at Lin Shu's house, Lin Shu had already prepared a table of rice and peeled fruits.
At this moment, Lin Shu was wearing pajamas and staring directly at the Sony 4K TV: "Xiaoyi, "The Master of the Demonic Path" is released, let's watch it together!"
Wang Yi smiled, and it was obvious that Lin Shu had been waiting for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that the outline given by Wang Yi has cut out the elements of indulgence and turned it into a serious fantasy novel.
Therefore, Lin Shu is very fascinated by this novel and has been following it. Now that the anime is released, she is eagerly waiting to watch it.
If she didn't want to watch it with Wang Yi, she would have finished watching the first three episodes!
"Okay, let's watch together!" Wang Yi washed his hands and sat down.
I also want to see what level the 2D animation produced by Xingyi Animation has reached!
"Xia Lan" is a 3D animation produced by Ruo Sen, while "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" is a 2D animation produced by Xingyi Animation itself.
The people in Xingyi Animation are the original animators recruited by Xingyi Technology themselves and the team they built themselves.
"mua!" As soon as Wang Yi sat down, Lin Shu kissed him.
Now she has started to take the initiative to kiss.
When Wang Yi first came home, when Wang Yi went out, before going to bed...
Lin Shu would either take the initiative to kiss or ask for a kiss.
At first I would blush, but now I feel happy with it.
Wang Yi was happy to hear this, as it represented Lin Shu's change, or growth and maturity.
Now I'm actively asking for a kiss. I guess that step will come naturally soon!
The two of them were eating and watching a show, which was very pleasant.
I have to say that the production level of Xingyi Animation is still very high.
After all, those original painters were recruited by Gu Qing with money, and they are all elites in the industry.
Directors, producers and other management teams are all experts with rich business experience.
For example, some of them are the backbone of "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", and they were all poached by Gu Qing.
Long before "Qin Shi Mingyue", "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" was the representative work of Chinese comics, and it was not an ordinary success.
When Wang Yi was a child, he would squat in front of the TV and watch it every day.
Later, it was reported by some people, which brought disaster to the show...
Although it was re-broadcast later, after such a long time, many things have changed...
I can only say that it is a pity for such a good work.
Therefore, when Xingyi Animation was established, Wang Yi arranged for people to recruit talents for "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit".
Sure enough, Gu Qing did not disappoint Wang Yi and actually recruited many core talents to come back!
With the addition of these talents, the Xingyi Animation team has greatly improved its strength, and "The Demonic Patriarch" has also been very successful.
It's not much worse than the previous anime "The Demonic Patriarch".
Lin Shu was mesmerized by the sight.
Wang Yi was already familiar with the plot, but he was attracted by this TV.
Lin Shu’s TV is Toshiba’s 4K TV REGZA 55X3, which is also the world’s first 4K TV.
Of course, this TV is also a traditional TV and does not support intelligent operations such as installing software.
Therefore, Lin Shu played Xingyi Video on his laptop and then connected it to the TV with an HDMI cable.
There is no way, the TVs these days are all traditional TVs.
As for the Internet TV box, it is also in a backward and primitive state.
The most advanced TV box at the moment is just an Android 3 system, which is very awkward and has negligible resources.
The main TV boxes in the previous life, Tencent TV box, Xiaomi TV box, iQiyi TV box, Tmall Magic Box, Youku Box, etc. are not currently on the market, and the earliest one will be on the market next year.
As for wireless screen projection, it has just started and is also immature.
Moreover, most traditional TVs do not support wireless screen projection.
Therefore, Lin Shudu had no choice but to use HDMI to connect the TV to his laptop.
Wang Yi suddenly realized that the Android 0 smart TV box market is still blank.
When Xingyi Technology makes TVs, it can launch one at the same time.
After all, 2012 is all about traditional TVs and all require smart TV boxes.
This matter can be fixed.
Wang Yi had some concerns in his mind and said casually: "Xiao Shu, what are the configurations of this TV?"
Lin Shu smiled and said: "This Toshiba TV is 55 inches, 4K, supports 3D. It was launched in December last year and sold for 470,000 yen. I bought it for more than 30,000 yen."
"55 inches, more than 30,000..." Wang Yi was silent for a while.
There is no way. There is only such a 4K TV in the world now, and it is imported. It is difficult not to sell it at a high price.
In Wang Yi’s impression, 2013 is the first year of 4K TV.
In 2012, only Toshiba, and later Sony, were making 4K TVs.
As for Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sharp and other companies, they all released a series of 4K TVs in 2013.
As for the first 4K TV in China, it was the Kukai U1 released by Skyworth on the last day of 2013!
LeTV's super TVs S40 and X60 were also released in 2013, around the middle of the year, but they were all 1080P and the price was lower.
X60, 55 inches, priced at 6999, was already the king of cost performance at the time.
X40, 39 inches, priced at 2499+499, which is also a sky-high price.
In the same year, four months later, the first generation of Xiaomi TV was released, only to be completely crushed by LeTV...
After all, LeTV’s quality, workmanship, and content ecology all surpass Xiaomi.
Especially in terms of content ecology, LeTV was at its peak back then, and LeTV Video was also the first echelon of video platforms.
Xiaomi has nothing and can only buy resources from other platforms, which is naturally incomparable.
It was not until later that LeTV threatened to die, and Xiaomi cooperated with iQiyi and introduced iQiyi's resources, and then the situation was restored.
Wang Yi still has a very good impression of LeTV. In his previous life, he bought the LeTV Super 4 X43 TV in his hometown in 1999 and used it for eight or nine years without any problems.
Later, I bought a 4K version of a certain brand of laser TV, priced at 14,999. It was repaired three times in six years, but the same fault occurred, the display chip was damaged.
After three repairs, even Bai Xiubao’s guy got acquainted with Wang Yi...
Fortunately, I bought JD.com’s six-year extended warranty, otherwise I would have lost a lot!
Without comparison, there is no harm.
LeTV is in trouble, and the boss has run away, but there is no problem with the product. All we can say is YYDS.
On the other hand, another company has become a Fortune 500 company, its strength is terrifying, but it has repaired three times in six years, making it difficult for people to truly love it.
Of course, if it's a low-end product, it won't be damaged until it comes out of warranty, and it's all about cheapness.
But the problem is that the 14999 laser battery, a high-end series, has been repaired three times in six years. It’s really hard to explain...
Maybe it's an accident, maybe it's Wang Yi's bad luck, but as long as this happens once, it will turn passersby.
At least when Wang Yi buys a TV, he won't consider that brand again.
Why were brands so influential in the past?
Because of my true conscience!
The products of some brands will not wear out even after five or six years, or even eight or ten years. They will not wear out at all.
Some brands, on the other hand, are guaranteed to break after one year, but problems will occur in one and a half years, or two years at most.
This is called planned obsolescence in the industry!
It’s not that they don’t do well in quality, but that if they do well in quality, consumers won’t wear out the products and won’t replace them with new ones. If a consumer harvests one crop every ten years, they earn too little.
On the contrary, planned scrapping will break down after one and a half years and must be replaced. A consumer can harvest six crops in ten years and earn six times. That is the way to get rich!
Once a businessman loses his conscience, he will only make more money!
Wang Yi would not do this.
What he wants to do is brand, and he will not plan scraps, pass off inferior products, or lower quality control in order to gain more users.
This kind of simplistic approach has no future and cannot retain users at all.
Only by using excellent quality and excellent service to build a brand and impress consumers can we achieve long-term development.
In fact, Android phones are also scheduled to be scrapped.
Android phones in the past few years have been the worst. This year’s Android phones with 1G of memory will become stuck after one year and it will be difficult to sustain them for two years.
In addition, the Android system becomes more and more bloated with updates, and the software takes up more and more space. Current 16G mobile phones will become unusable in a few years, forcing users to change mobile phones.
It can be said that in recent years, most Android phones are replaced every year or so, or at most one and a half years.
Until 2021, the average replacement cycle for Android phones will be 22-26 months.
Later, Android flagships became more and more expensive, selling for five to six thousand, and the replacement cycle became very high, about two and a half to three years.
It was also at that time that the frequency of phone replacements dropped sharply, and global mobile phone sales declined, so much so that the leaders of some mobile phone manufacturers were asking, "Why don't everyone change their phones?"
The essential reason is that the mobile phone is durable and the price is high, so the replacement cost is high!
But this is actually not good. A mobile phone will become stuck after less than two years, which will only make users distrust the brand and give up the brand.
This is also the biggest motivation for Apple to overturn Android.
iPhone 5, Xiaomi 2, and Huawei P1 were all launched in 2012.
The iPhone 5 can be used for four to five years, but the Xiaomi 2 and Huawei P1, which were launched in the same year, become stuck after one year and need to be replaced after two years!
There is nothing we can do about it.
This is the biggest problem with Android phones.
Similarly, xphone 1 also faces this problem. With 1G of running memory, it is difficult to last for two years.
Those who know how to flash their phones can still survive for half a year, but those who don’t know how to flash their phones can only change their phones early.
To this end, xphone 1 pro directly upgraded the 2G memory. At the same time, Wang Yi invested huge manpower and material resources to let the system research and development department magically modify the Android system.
By magically modifying the Android system, prohibiting software self-starting, linked startup, random push, etc., optimizing the background mechanism, and making every effort to ensure that the xphone 1 with 1G memory can be used for two years without lag, and can be replaced after three years.
This can be regarded as the first batch of users to support Xingyi Technology!
There is also Xingyi TV, which needs to be carefully planned.
The TV factory will be able to deliver the goods in the second half of the year, so we can start the research and development plan now.
As for the sales strategy, it is still a combination of high, medium and low, covering all aspects.
All smart TVs have built-in Xingyi video resource content.
The low-end model, 39 inches, 1080P, and the price of 3999 is considered low.
Yes, TVs in 2012 are very expensive. A traditional 1080P domestic TV costs more than 3,000 yuan.
Imported ones cost 6,000 to 7,000, and 4K ones start at 30,000.
Wang Yi makes 1080p, smart TVs, and Xingyi video content resources. Not to mention 3999, even if it is more than 4000, it can be sold out.
When LeTV S40 was launched in 2013, the price was 2499+499!
A year later, the LeTV S40's price of RMB 3,000 broke through the industry's lowest price and was even cheaper than the 32-inch model sold by competitors.
Wang Yi's Xingyi TV was released a year in advance, and it was normal to sell it for 3,999, and it would definitely sell out.
The mid-range one is 50 inches, same 1080P, priced at 5999, still unbeatable in terms of price/performance ratio.
These days, 50-inch 1080P traditional TVs start at 5,000!
Wang Yi adds a smart TV to do a better job and can reach 6,000!
As for the high-end, it is directly 60 inches. As for the price...
It depends on whether you can buy a 4K panel.
If you can get a 4K panel, go directly to 60-inch, 4K.
Sony sells it for 30,000, Wang Yi sells it for 15,000, or even 20,000 is not too much.
If you can't get a 4K panel, a 60-inch, 1080P panel can still be sold for about 10,000.
There is no way, the mainstream TVs in 2012 are all 32-inch traditional TVs, similar to feature phones.
The 60-inch 1080P smart TV is invincible, equivalent to the 120-inch, 8K giant-screen TV ten years from now!
Of course, it’s probably hard to get a 4K panel.
Currently, Toshiba has launched the only 4K TV in the world.
Sony will wait until the second half of the year, and other companies will wait until 2013.
It is not easy for Wang Yi to buy a 4K panel at this time.
It seems that I have to contact Toshiba later. If their 4K panel can be obtained, Xingyi TV 4K will be stable.
Of course, we can also communicate with Sharp.
Wang Yi had some calculations in his mind.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shu was staring straight at him.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yi came to his senses.
Lin Shu smiled sweetly: "Brother, what are you thinking about? Your eyes were out of focus just now."
Wang Yi laughed: "I'm thinking of launching a TV that can directly install programs, such as installing the Xingyi Video APP. In this way, you can directly watch the resources of Xingyi Video when you turn on the TV."
"Wow!" Lin Shu's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, that would be awesome. I no longer have to carry the laptop and connect it with an HDMI cable. When will it be released? I want it!"
Wang Yi smiled: "It's easy to say, I'll have people start research and development later, and try to have it ready in the second half of the year!"
The good thing is that Xingyi Technology has experience in developing mobile phones and tablets. When it comes to making smart TVs, it will be a dimensionality reduction attack, which is relatively easy.
Moreover, Xingyi Video has content and resources, and is directly built into Xingyi TV, making it invincible from the start.
Boss Jia’s path of hardware + content + ecology is very correct. Wang Yi decided to follow Boss Jia’s path, leaving Boss Jia with nowhere to go!
The simplest thing is that with Xingyi Video, it is not only Aiyouteng that has been hit hard, but also platforms such as LeTV Video and Sohu Video!
"That's great!" Lin Shu was in a good mood: "I'll replace it when Xingyi TV comes on the market!"
Wang Yi smiled: "This is a new one, the world's first 4K TV."
"That's useless, it's not smart at all." Lin Shu pouted.
"There is another way to develop an Android 0 smart TV box and plug it into the TV box to turn this traditional TV into a smart TV!"
"Oh, that's okay!" Lin Shu nodded with such a cute look that Wang Yi couldn't help laughing.
After watching three episodes of "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" in a row, Lin Shu still couldn't get enough: "Brother, why did it end so quickly? This is unscientific!"
Wang Yi burst into laughter: "Happy times are short-lived. Let's continue next Friday!"
"Okay, okay." Lin Shu sighed, with an unhappy look on his face.
Wang Yi held Lin Shu in his arms and comforted her.
That night, the news about the release of "The Master of Demons" became a hot search topic.
Once again, the whole network was shocked.
The on-demand volume of "The Patriarch of the Demonic Path" has even reached the top of Xingyi Video's on-demand volume.
All I can say is that the heat is amazing.
It is worth mentioning that as an S-level homemade animation, it is still broadcast exclusively on Xingyi Video.
There are three episodes on the first day, and non-members can only watch two episodes with advertisements. Members can watch three episodes without advertisements.
In order to watch the third episode, many users opened Xingyi Video VIP.
As a result, the number of Xingyi Video VIP users has surged again.
The popularity of "Xia Lan", "Northern Love" and "Cliff" brought more than 19 million paid members to Xingyi Video.
Now, the release of "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" has brought in a large number of fans of female novels.
As a book lover, Dadu immediately opened an annual membership and supported "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way".
So, in one day, Xingyi Video added another million paying members, with a total monthly paying members exceeding 20 million, and monthly membership revenue exceeding 300 million!
Coupled with the more than 10 million annual membership fees provided by xphone 1, the total number of Xingyi Video members now exceeds 23 million!
It can be said that Xingyi Video has completely become the new cash cow.
Such a brilliant performance made Wang Yi feel good and decisively hugged Lin Shu into sleep.
But the mysterious technology on the other side is brightly lit.
A room full of senior executives gathered in the conference room with gloomy expressions:
"Comparing people with each other will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away. Xingyi Animation has released another hit movie. On the first day of its release, it directly reached the top!"
"Yeah, this data is really terrifying, scary, even more powerful than Xia Lan."
"Youku is rubbish. It requires money but no money. It requires resources but no resources. If we follow Youku, we are completely finished!"
