America's Road to Fame

Chapter 179
"It's nothing. We can build Want Want into Ali's software in the future, and users don't need to download this chat software. I think that when users choose online shopping in the future, friends' recommendations will be a very important way. What kind of conflict, they blocked our sharing link, then we are under the control of others, so we still have to have a chat software that we trust."

Boss Ma could see it clearly, as if this kind of thing really happened later, he was planning ahead.

William Chen also intends to promote HOLA in China, but Penguin's WeChat is indeed something he needs to consider. The national conditions are different, just like the software that dominates the world in the United States. When they come to China, they are not satisfied.

It can't be said that Huaguo, in South Korea and Japan, many giants in the United States have also been defeated.To be honest, in terms of user experience, William Chen feels that many of Huaguo's software are better, especially as it gets later, the feeling becomes more obvious.

Therefore, he does not have much confidence in whether HOLA can defeat WeChat in China.But you have to give it a try anyway. The advantage of being the first to use social software is still relatively large. At present, there is no similar app for smartphones in Huaguo, so it is worth trying.

If this is the case, then it would be a good way to cooperate with Ali.

Therefore, William Chen also agreed with the trend. As for the way of cooperation, refer to the cooperation between Japan and Softbank. change.

"I agree to cooperate in the promotion of HOLA, but there is a prerequisite, that is, to find a leader who can lead HOLA to success." William Chen moved in his heart, and said to Boss Ma: "I hope you can recruit this person to be our HOLA CEO of Huaguo Corporation."

"Have you decided on a candidate?"

Hearing Chen William's agreement, Boss Ma's face was unspeakably happy, but he was still a little puzzled, who was that person Chen William was talking about?

"Yes, since we are doing social networking, it is best to poach an executive from Penguin. I hope that Zhang Xiaolong from Penguin can be poached to be the CEO of HOLA Huaguo."

"Zhang Xiaolong?"

Boss Ma asked suspiciously. He seemed to have never heard of such a person among Penguin executives.

"Yes, he is now the person in charge of Penguin Mailbox. I have used Penguin Mailbox and think this product is very good. Mailbox is also a social product. If he is in charge of HOLA Huaguo Company, then compared able to succeed."

What William Chen was talking about was Zhang Xiaolong, who is known as the "father of WeChat". At this time, WeChat had not yet started research and development. He was the founder of Foxmail, a well-known email product. After Foxmail was acquired by Penguin, he was in charge of the development of Penguin's email products. , His development of Penguin Mailbox was recognized by almost everyone in the company, and it was called a "seven-star product".

Now Zhang Xiaolong's level in Tencent is not high, so if he really wants to dig, it is still possible to dig him, so William Chen proposed this suggestion to Boss Ma.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Seeing that William Chen was so fond of this man named Zhang Xiaolong, Boss Ma silently wrote down the name, and was going to find someone to investigate this person after he went back. He was also a little curious, why William Chen had never heard of this person before. people are so confident.Of course, in order to cooperate with the other party and take down the HOLA APP to fight against Penguin, Boss Ma will try his best to invite this person over.

Seeing this result, William Chen is also very satisfied. With such a profound deception skill of Boss Ma, he was able to lure Cai Chongxin to Ali Company back then. He gave up the high salary and took a salary of 500 yuan a month. I don’t know if he can do it this time. How about poaching Zhang Xiaolong from Penguin?

It's not that Zhang Xiaolong must lead the future HOLA Huaguo Company, but if he is brought in, it will be a multi-purpose thing. On the one hand, he has proved his strength in the field of mobile social networking through WeChat, and he will lead HOLA Huaguo Company is also more likely to succeed; another aspect is to weaken the opponent.

Zhang Xiaolong was inspired by WeChat after seeing similar overseas products, and strongly requested the establishment of the project.Initially, Penguin paid more attention to the QQ mobile version, and did not give too many resources to WeChat in particular.

It is precisely because of Zhang Xiaolong's personal ability that he made WeChat very well, and thus won the competition of several mobile social apps within Penguin Company, and finally won the strong support of the entire Penguin Company, so he dug Zhang Xiaolong to his side, Penguin will have similar products sooner or later, but its competitiveness will be questioned.

William Chen doesn't think he can really eliminate Penguin in the field of mobile social networking through these methods, but at least combining various factors, the two sides can carve up the market instead of letting Penguin dominate. It worked out.

Just like in the previous life, Xiaomi’s Michat had a first-mover advantage, but in the end WeChat won. The reason for this is that Michat’s first-mover advantage was not very obvious. When Michat was launched, WeChat Already in development, so catch up soon.

In addition, when the competition between the two parties was fierce, Penguin allocated resources to WeChat, recommending WeChat to more than 4 million users of QQ; while Mi Chat, because Xiaomi is a start-up company, had to disperse its energy on the mobile phone business and the MIUI system. In two aspects, the support for Mi Chat was not enough, which led to the final defeat.

Now if HOLA can recruit Zhang Xiaolong and delay Penguin’s launch of a similar app, and with the support of both Ali and William Chen, the final outcome is still unknown.

When the dinner was over and seeing Yang Mi and William Chen together, Boss Ma arranged their hotel tactfully and left early. Before leaving, he made an appointment with William Chen to go to Hangzhou together tomorrow. The government's policy briefing is actually a business promotion meeting aimed at large companies to increase their investment.

After Yang Mi and Chen Weilian sat in the car arranged by Boss Ma to take them back to the hotel, she sighed:

"This car is so big. What brand is it? Why haven't I seen it before? Why is it still a yellow card?"

"This is a Maybach 62S, because the length of the car is 6.2 meters, if it exceeds 6 meters, you will be given a yellow card."

Boss Ma specially arranged his own special car to take Chen William and the others back to the hotel. This car is really magnificent, but unfortunately it has been discontinued. Otherwise, Chen William would also like to buy a few cars, but now, he can only wait for the new 62S Bought it after listing.

With Boss Ma around just now, Yang Mi felt somewhat reserved, but now that there are only two of them, she obviously feels much more at ease.She held William Chen's arm and leaned against him: "Honey, do you miss me?"

"Of course, or I'll find you as soon as I come to Hangcheng."

"Hey, it's so annoying. I can only take one day off. I'm going back to the set tomorrow."

Yang Mi's beautiful eyes turned around, staring at Chen William, and said a little depressed.

"Work is important, why don't you stop being an actor, I will support you, and you can play every day."

Hearing Chen Weilian's words, Yang Mi was a little moved, but then shook her head and said: "Oh, then I can't do nothing, I only know how to make movies, and I'm afraid I can't do well in other things. If I really have nothing to do every day Do, you are so busy all day long, I still rarely see you."

It's not unreasonable for Yang Mi to be called the desperate third mother, so William Chen also knows that with her character, she definitely doesn't want to be a canary like this, and she will have her own ambitions.

So William Chen kissed her, and said softly: "Then you should film the movie well first, and when you are free from work on this movie, I will take you out for a while."

"Really?" Yang Mi said happily, "I remember, you are not allowed to lie to me."

"Then why, you can go wherever you want." William Chen scratched her nose and said with a smile: "By the way, you have joined Huayi Company now, how do you feel?"

"It's very good. Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang are very polite to me, and they specially arranged an assistant for me to follow me, and even took a few scripts for me to choose."

"What is Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang? You can't call him that in person. He's your boss after all."

"Oh, I'm not stupid, I told you this."

When Yang Mi was still in school, the first company she signed with was Rong Xinda. When she was filming, her mother followed her to take care of her. Now that she has graduated, her contract with Rong Xinda has expired. According to William Chen's words, she signed a contract with Huayi Company and arranged for her a manager and assistant. Now Mama Yang doesn't have to worry so much, but Mama Yang often follows her to take care of her when she comes out to film.

"Fortunately, my mother has returned to Yanjing in advance these two days. Otherwise, even if I can ask for leave, she will have to stare at me and can't run around."

Speaking of this, Yang Mi was a little depressed.
