my return to life

After listening to Lei Jun, Fang Nian fell into deep thought.

Obviously, Lei Jun has obvious intentions to show his favor.

Everyone is not stupid.

It is not uncommon for people to dig holes for their own interests in the business field.

Again, the benefits are eternal.

The help that Fang Nian brought to Xiaomi is obvious, and every step is top-notch.

Some things that seemed to be risky turned out to be due to Fang Nian's vision, such as the early launch of the sale.

Considering various interests, Lei Jun is obviously very willing to use shares to win over Fang Nian.

Fang Nian also understood what Lei Jun meant.

The previous 5% permanent shares were far from enough for Fang Nian to Xiaomi.

Even if it's just at this stage.

As early as 07, Lei Jun was particularly optimistic about the mobile market, and even believed that smartphones would replace PCs in the future. From the crazy sales of Mi 1, he saw Fang Nian's precise strategic layout for this industry.

Lei Jun also knows better that the reason why Fang Nian was willing to advise Xiaomi in this way was definitely not because of the 5% of the shares.

But...

Part of Frontier's commercial interests.

The Nuwa system needs a mobile phone that can withstand attacks to open up a better situation.

Meizu M9 made Fang Nian extremely disappointed, so there are many arrangements for Xiaomi.

Facts have proved that every arrangement of Fang Nian is very effective.

But that's the end of the story.

So Lei Jun hopes to win over Fang Nian in a more practical way...

After a long while, Fang Nian spoke slowly: "How many shares will Boss Lei plan to release, and what valuation will be used for settlement?"

Before Lei Jun could speak, Fang Nian immediately added: "Mr. Lei should think about it in the long run. Xiaomi is very likely to become a company worth hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars. Shares..."

Of course Lei Jun understood what Fang Nian meant.

Fang Nian was not very interested in this private transaction.

And Fang Nian also directly mentioned that he doesn't want a little privately traded shares to cause more follow-up troubles.

Shares are, after all, the most important thing in a company.

"Boss Fang is overthinking." Lei Jun smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Then he said seriously: "5% of the shares, based on a valuation of 2 million U.S. dollars, Mr. Fang, do you think it is feasible?"

Hearing this, Fang Nian looked at Lei Jun and said calmly, "Could Mr. Lei tell me the expected valuation of Xiaomi this time?"

"US$20 billion." Lei Jun said calmly.

Fang Nian frowned slightly: "It's a bit low. With the current development situation, no matter what, it will cost three to four billion U.S. dollars."

"A conservative valuation of US$20 billion." Lei Jun said.

Fang Nian sighed: "Boss Lei is fortifying me to give me shares, so you are not afraid that I will sell them and sell them?"

"Now it only needs 1000 million US dollars, and the conservative exit at the time of financing is 1 million US dollars, a net profit of nearly [-] million yuan."

After a short pause, Fang Nian took the time to say: "Okay, Mr. Lei, please tell us about the conditions."

"..."

Lei Jun was not surprised, he said frankly and honestly: "I hope Mr. Fang will support me in taking Qingchao out of Xiaomi at this financing meeting..."

………………

Lei Jun said frankly and honestly: "I hope Mr. Fang will support me in taking Qingchao out of Xiaomi at this financing meeting."

The voice fell lightly.

Fang Nian paused slightly for the hand holding the teacup, then brought it to his mouth and drank it slowly.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

Although it was only five days before Fang Nian returned to China, he knew that Lei Jun had arrived in Shencheng temporarily;

But he is not ignorant of outside news.

At least……

After a little thought, Fang Nian smiled and said, "Let's chat..."

"How many users are there now?"

The obvious pause in the speech, and the peaceful gaze after the pause made Lei Jun smile.

Frankly said: "Maybe it has exceeded 500 million now."

"..."

Hearing this, Fang Nian fell silent.

Although he was prepared, he was still shocked by this number - because according to the latest news from the outside world, the total number of light chat users is not even 500 million.

Even if Fang Nian knew clearly, Qingchat deliberately launched a variety of versions on Xiaonian's day a few years ago;

Even counterfeit mobile phones that specifically cover the MTK solution will definitely bring about a surge in the number of users.

After all, he proposed to Lei Jun when he was bored.

It is also reminded that apart from the current three major smartphone platforms of iOS, Android, and Nüwa, the light chat versions of other platforms do not need to cover so many functions, and can mainly push business cards and add friends.

But the growth rate of the number of users is too fast.

There is even a feeling of catching up with the penetration rate of large-screen smartphones.

However, Goose Factory WeChat, which has been chasing behind the scenes, has no time to take advantage of the Spring Festival sinking to acquire customers, and the current user growth is slow.

after all……

WeChat cannot be completely a poor imitator.

Wechat has QQ experience, and it is not difficult to do voice and video chats.

The difficult thing is to get the support of the three major operators.

Fang Nian and Lei Jun knew this very well, so they did a very tricky operation.

When Mi 1 was released on New Year's Day, we tested the Qchat voice call in public.

But there was no beta version released for a long time.

In the end, the WeChat team still couldn't resist the temptation and took the initiative to rush to the forefront.

Anyway...

In the end, WeChat launched an early adopter version first.

The three major operators are turning a blind eye.

Of course, the friction and conflict between free instant messaging software based on mobile phones and the three major operators will definitely not be resolved in a month or two or even a year or two, but the public will not have much perception.

however……

The millet chicken thief is the chicken thief here.

Neither the WeChat team nor the Goose Factory has a mobile phone business.

Xiaomi has a mobile phone, and Xiaomi also has a deeply customized MIUI based on the Nuwa system.

This makes the experience of light chat and voice calls on the Xiaomi mobile phone package surpass that of WeChat, although it was first proposed to go online later.

Not only that, but the experience on Apple and Android phones is also better.

but!

But Fang Nian was still surprised by the total number of users of Qingchat.

After a moment of silence, Fang Nian asked another question: "Does Mr. Lei know the actual total number of WeChat users?"

Lei Jun replied: "Unfortunately, the official data released in the middle of last month was 300 million. According to the analysis of the Qingchat project team, the real data should be around 500 million."

"..."

Fang Nian thought for a while, and said calmly: "Boss Lei, I want to be honest, what is your goal in taking Qingchao out of Xiaomi?"

"Social ecology." Lei Jun didn't mean to hide from Fang Nian.

After finishing speaking, Lei Jun glanced at Fang Nian and asked, "Mr. Fang, in your opinion, if Qingchao is independent, how big can it be?"

While thinking about it, Fang Nian shook his head and said with a smile: "This really asks me. Although I am more optimistic about mobile social networking, I haven't analyzed the market too much. In this regard, I plan to learn from Mr. Shen and intervene in the form of capital."

Fang Nian is obviously serious nonsense.

No matter how he didn't analyze it, he also knew the role of WeChat in his previous life on the market value of Goose Factory, at least it supported a scale close to one trillion Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, Lei Jun didn't know this. After listening to Fang Nian, he asked again: "So Mr. Fang thinks that talking about independence and non-independence has a big impact?"

"It's hard to say, maybe it's a win-win situation." Fang Nian said it very tactfully.

Lei Jun: "..."

This time it was Lei Jun's turn to be silent.

Fang Nian's attitude is somewhat ambiguous, which is not the best news for him.

On the one hand, most of the current basis of Qingchat comes from Fang Nian's proposal;

On the other hand, the term social ecology is not something that can just be said in empty words. It is necessary to find a good business model.

Goose Factory's successful route is based on PC, fully applied to the mobile platform?

Leaving aside whether it will work or not, it is not Lei Jun's pursuit to completely copy other people's successful routes...

In fact, Fang Nian has made some judgments and analyzes on mobile social networking in his mind.

In addition to knowing the general direction of the future, it is more because we have reached a height now.

Specific to Qingchat, WeChat, Xiaomi.

This has to start with Mapleigh.

Following Lei Jun’s suggestion, Ma Poli traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai to consult Fang Nian. After the transformation, the goose factory at the helm is obviously different from before.

If the Goose Factory was sharp-edged before, now the sharpness is gradually restrained inward.

such as……

Goose Factory Investment, which was established as early as 2008, changed its head at the end of last year.

For another example, Goose Factory quickly launched WeChat, which will obviously affect the core of QQ, through internal competition.

WeChat has been online for so long, but Ma Poli has not made a decision to divert QQ.

In addition, Fang Nian thought that with Zhang Xiaolong's WeChat, it would eventually become stronger, nothing more than changing from a dominant company to perhaps only an even share.

Assuming that Qingchat and WeChat each account for the majority of the market, the final high probability is that the two software can each support a market value of [-] billion US dollars.

Of course, it will be very reluctant.

After all, 2000 billion U.S. dollars is 5000 trillion Hong Kong dollars.

This has to be listed and handed over to the capital market for amplification.

There is no particular reason, and the market within a certain range and time is always limited.
