Rebirth of the tea art man

Tianhai, Jinmao Building.

In this former tallest building in Tianhai, and even the tallest building in the country, a little-known small company, Tianhai WeChat Network Technology Co., Ltd., has entered this year.

After receiving Lin Cheng's 3000 million venture capital investment at the end of last year, Cheng Men moved the company to this international metropolis according to his wishes, and moved to the landmark Jinmao Building.

The WeChat trademark was registered at the end of December last year, a full month and a half earlier than Tenda Group in the historical process, and even the company's name was changed to "WeChat".

On January 1 this year, WeChat officially launched the beta version of 10.The effect is not great, there are only three or four thousand registered users.

Compared with QQ, which had more than 2009 billion registered users in 10, it is simply a few galaxies behind.The number of people who are online at the same time every day is as high as 1 million.

Even Weibo, a rising star, has more than 7000 million registered users one and a half years after its launch.

As for another social giant, Tieba, also has hundreds of millions of registered users.Just one sub-brand of iTieba has more than 5000 million users.

Compared with these social giants that are in full swing and flourishing, this small WeChat has only three or four thousand registered users in the first test. It is really small to the point of a cell, not even as good as an ant.

but!

"This WeChat is a key project that I focus on investing in. At the end of last year, when I was heavily in debt and owed 3000 million to the bank, I gritted my teeth and took out 5000 million to invest in this company. This year, I added an additional [-] million Almost [-] million of the funds have been poured in."

"But I believe that WeChat is an epoch-making product, and this company will become an epoch-making company. One day in the future, we will change the way of life in the whole country and even the world!"

In front of the camera of "Walking with Celebrities", Lin Cheng introduced the emerging software WeChat in detail in the office of Jinmao Building.

In addition to sending messages like QQ, you can also make voice calls and video chats. There are also WeChat groups similar to QQ groups, and circles of friends similar to QQ space.

It's just that, unlike the public QQ space, WeChat's circle of friends is more private, limited to the display among friends.

After the show was broadcast, Lin Cheng officially announced on Weibo and his personal account on station b that he would personally become the spokesperson of WeChat.Several contracted artists under the banner, Chen Shiying, Song Yi, and Lin Yuner, also began to promote WeChat hard.

At the same time, the employees of all Lin Cheng’s companies, including all the companies he invested in, were forced to transfer to WeChat and use WeChat to communicate, and even many customers were brought to WeChat.

What's even more exaggerated is that Lin Cheng set up an official fan group in the live broadcast area of ​​station b, and this group is not a QQ group, but his WeChat group.

He even cooperated with Qixing Chinese.com to create an official fan group that is also a WeChat group for all signed writers. The entry threshold can be set by the author at will, whether there is no threshold to enter, or a certain fan value must be reached.

All of a sudden, the number of registered users of WeChat, which Lin Cheng strongly promoted, skyrocketed.

Break ten thousand, break one hundred thousand, break one million...

By the beginning of April, the registered users of WeChat had broken through the 4 million mark.

At the same time, Masayoshi Lin of Softbank also joined forces with Qiming Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Hillhouse Capital to raise an additional US$5000 million in Series B financing for Station B according to the previous three-month deadline.

After all, today's station b is completely different from the original one.

It used to be just a gathering place for Two-dimensional lovers, but now it has formed an ecological circle with Tingge, WeChat, and Weibo. At the same time, under Lin Cheng's decision, it pioneered the live broadcast to attract a large number of people. new user.

The current valuation of station b has reached an exaggerated US$2 million, and Lin Cheng's shareholding in station b has also been diluted from the original 40% to 30%.It's just that the current 30% is 6000% of the valuation of 30 million US dollars, which is far from what it was at the beginning.

……

One side of Tianhai Jinmao Building is the entrance of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, and the main body is located in the upper half of the building.The other side is used as the entrance of the Grade A office building, and the main body is located in the lower half of the building.

A Toyota Coaster, like a leader traveling, slowly parked at the door of the office building.

The car door opened, and the gentle middle-aged man wearing glasses looked up at the once tallest building in China.

"Even the 88-story Jinmao Tower, which is more than 300 meters high, cannot be the tallest building forever. Things that are stagnant will always be surpassed by newcomers!"

Teng Hua sighed helplessly as he looked at the Jinmao Building in front of him, the taller World Financial Center next door, and the Tianhai Center Building that was under construction opposite.

One is the tallest building in the past, one is the tallest building now, and the other is the tallest building in the future.

Just like a company, no matter how brilliant you have been, there will always be latecomers who will surpass you.

"So, we must prevent this from happening in advance!"

Behind Teng Hua, another middle-aged man with a somewhat academic atmosphere got out of the car together, looking forward firmly.

This is a huge business team from Shenzhou, and the 23-seater Toyota Coaster is packed to the brim.

If there are people who often play online games, often recharge money in online games, often open treasure chests and often fail, if they see this scene, they will probably yell at the first second.

That is the boss of Tengda Group - Teng Hua!

"Mr. Teng, our boss has been waiting for you upstairs for a long time."

Yang Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm down, making her tone appear calm as usual.

However, a heart was beating wildly nervously.

Once upon a time, I could imagine that I would actually see this technology giant from Shenzhou Tengda Group with my own eyes.

Moreover, this young boss of a listed company on Hong Kong Island with a market value of US$500 billion flew to Tianhai not far away today to beg her in person.

"You are Ms. Yang, right? We chatted in WeChat, and she is as beautiful as her name is!"

Teng Hua smiled and praised, which immediately flattered Yang Yan.

And Wang Dalong and a group of Tengda executives who followed behind him watched this scene even more in surprise.

As the CEO of Tenda, one of the three major technology giants in China, he would take the initiative to compliment the secretary of the president of a small company.

If this was done before today, no one in the entire Tenda Group would believe it.

"President Teng has won the prize, please come in quickly, everyone please come in!"

Yang Yan invited everyone with a smile on her face, but when she turned her back to face her, she let out a long sigh of relief.

With a smile on his face, but a strong sense of oppression!

At her age, it was difficult to cope with the executive team of a $500 billion technology giant.
