154: Section 154

It could even be said that, regardless of who they are, what profession they have, or what region they are in, as long as they have a smartphone, that phone will definitely have the WeChat app!

This number is something even QQ hasn't achieved.

The reason WeChat was able to surpass QQ is that it acutely captured the market of a large number of middle-aged and elderly people who couldn't use QQ.

Although QQ has a large user base, most active users are relatively young.

QQ's design, whether it's the interface, space, or other systems, was never meant to serve the demographic of middle-aged and elderly people.

For them, QQ was too new.

But WeChat is different.

Whether it's the prominently featured voice chat or the simpler Moments, both are more suitable for users of all ages.

The key is that WeChat also strengthened its connection with users' phone contacts, forming a more authentic relationship chain.

Most friends on WeChat are people users know in real life; purely online-only relationships are rare.

In contrast, the proportion of online-only friends on QQ is extremely high.

It is precisely because of this close connection to real-world social networks that many middle-aged and elderly people were also drawn into WeChat's user base.

After WeChat was launched, WeChat calls largely replaced how many people usually called friends.

After all, free calls that can be made with just an internet connection are far better than directly dialing a phone number.

Adding WeChat friends by simply entering the other party's phone number is also simpler than having to remember an additional QQ number.

WeChat can even send friend requests to contact numbers with one click.

Subsequently, the continuous introduction of systems like Shake, Nearby, and Official Accounts further increased WeChat's social attributes and functionality.

And the most crucial of these was the launch of Weixin Wallet.

If it were just a simple chat software, WeChat might not have achieved such widespread public use, but because of the existence of Weixin Wallet, WeChat was truly able to acquire over a billion users in an extremely short period.

The perfect combination of chat software and an online payment system is enough to make WeChat the most dazzling pearl in the development of the Yan Country's internet.

Furthermore, the development difficulty of WeChat is also very simple compared to King of Glory; the code and underlying logic are actually not complex, the key is the subsequent operation of WeChat.

So this time, Wang Mo doesn't need to find someone specifically to take charge.

At the same time, in a conference room at Junzi Group, as time slowly passed, everyone finally finished reading the proposal in front of them.

And after reading Wang Mo's ideas, everyone's faces were almost entirely replaced by shock.

The more Zhang Fan read, the more his body even trembled uncontrollably.

Because this WeChat proposal was indeed too astonishing.

It made him simply unable to believe it.

"Boss," he stammered, "if this thing can really develop as you envision, I'm afraid the entire internet field of Yan Country will explode!"

"It's projected to have over a billion daily active users; this is data that has never appeared in Yan Country before!

It's too crazy," Zhang Fan's voice was trembling slightly.

And Qin Haisheng, after reading the document in front of him, also had an extremely shocked expression.

"The key is that the other systems within this WeChat software are also more exaggerated than the last.

If we really want to add an online payment function inside, then it will definitely attract the attention of Ali Group.

The difficulty for this software to succeed is too, too high."

"Boss," Qin Haisheng looked at Wang Mo, "Are you sure our next software will challenge such a behemoth?"

Qin Haisheng also found it somewhat unbelievable, as this matter was indeed of great importance.

Facing Qin Haisheng's doubts, Wang Mo did not answer, but instead quietly looked at the few people.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan slowly swallowed.

He looked at Wang Mo and slowly began, "Boss, actually, no matter what we say, it won't change your mind, right?

You've already made your decision."

Wang Mo looked at Zhang Fan and did not speak, only slowly nodded.

Seeing this, the other few people also couldn't help but take a deep breath, their expressions serious.

"I know, Boss, you've already made up your mind," Zhou Qiang, who was by the side, couldn't help but say.

"Penguin has two core areas: one is games, and the other is QQ.

Although Dota Mobile is a key project for Penguin, it is just a small mobile game within Penguin's vast gaming empire, and it doesn't represent Penguin's entire gaming sector.

But even such a small part of Penguin's gaming sector, we haven't completely defeated it yet, and we can't Shake its established market.

This is enough to show how exaggerated Penguin's capabilities are in its core areas.

And Penguin's other core area is QQ; QQ's weight is almost the same as Penguin Group's entire gaming sector, but we haven't even completely defeated one mobile game within Penguin's gaming sector.

One can imagine that the difficulty of defeating QQ to become the market leader is far, far greater than surpassing a Dota Mobile."

After Zhou Qiang finished speaking, Qin Haisheng, who was by the side, also added, "It's not just Penguin Group's QQ.

If we are to add online payment to this chat software called WeChat, then we will also have to face the core area of the behemoth that is Ali Group.

Currently, the only online payment software on the market is Ali Group's Zhifubao, also known as Blue Wallet.

Originally, Blue Wallet was launched to facilitate user shopping on Taobao, but now, its scale has far exceeded Taobao, becoming the foundation of Ali Group!

Blue Wallet has nearly 700 million monthly active users, making it the software second only to QQ.

Qin Haisheng paused, his lips somewhat dry.

He continued only after taking a sip of water.

"And Ali Group is extremely cautious and goes to great lengths to protect its foundation, to protect its online payment market.

There was once a small company that had just launched its own payment software for a few days when it was met with a full-scale ambush by Ali Group, and it was ultimately taken down a month later.

Facing the threat of potential online payment software, Ali Group doesn't care about the scale or whether it has developed; it will act with full force the moment it detects a threat, nipping it in the bud.

I saw a joke where many people asked the big villains in some novels why they don't act when the protagonist is weak, and the answer basically says that Ali Group, the big horse, will not fully deal with a small convenience store by the village."]}
