182: Section 182

“Aren’t our WeChat users already at their limit?”

After Zhang Fan finished speaking, Wang Mo chuckled softly.

“While the number of these older users has reached its limit, there are still many more older internet users who haven’t downloaded WeChat.”

“And our next step.”

“Is to give them a reason to download WeChat.”

Wang Mo looked at Zhang Fan.

“Did you forget that in our earliest plan, WeChat still had a major feature that hadn’t been added?”

Listening to Wang Mo’s words, Zhang Fan began to ponder.

560 Although he attended the earliest WeChat planning meeting, he was, after all, the head of Douyin and rarely came to WeChat’s side. He also didn’t pay attention to some of WeChat’s internal operational plans, which is why he had somewhat forgotten the information from the last meeting.

However, after Wang Mo’s reminder.

Zhang Fan quickly thought of something.

“Boss, are you talking about WeChat’s online payment?”

“I’ve seen that you guys haven’t launched this feature on WeChat for the past few months, and I thought it had been cut.”

Upon hearing this.

Wang Mo smiled.

“Before, because the number of users wasn’t enough, we couldn’t launch the online payment feature. Otherwise, if Alibaba had targeted us, we wouldn’t have had any power to fight back.”

“But now.”

“Our WeChat also has a daily active user base of 100 million.”

“Weixin Wallet can be prepared for launch.”

“After all, the number of older WeChat users is now very difficult to increase, unless Weixin Wallet is launched to attract them to register.”

“This is also the key reason why I publicly disclosed WeChat’s daily active users and wasn’t concerned that QQ would discover WeChat’s user base.”

“Because the next step, our method to retain these users, will be very difficult for QQ to replicate.”

After speaking.

Wang Mo slowly took a deep breath and looked out the window.

“It’s time to let everyone see.”

“WeChat’s true determination.”

“I said this software could change the current internet landscape of Yan Country.”

“Now.”

“It’s time for WeChat to truly exert its strength.”

Chapter 120: Ma’s Regret, WeChat Establishes Itself!

Inside WeChat.

While various debugging and final preparations were being made for the upcoming payment wallet.

Penguin Group.

Finally, three days later, it uncovered the truth about WeChat’s daily active users.

Three days after WeChat publicly released its daily active users.

In a meeting room in the QQ department.

“It turns out that most of the daily active users are indeed middle-aged and elderly people.”

“I didn’t expect.”

“This time, Wang Mo really fooled us again.”

“How did he know that the potential user base for chat software also included older players? And how did he manage to get these users to successfully download WeChat?”

Looking at the file information on his phone, Ma couldn’t help but murmur.

And the others in the room.

At this moment, all of them had furrowed brows.

When the results of the investigation were laid before them, no matter how much they disbelieved it before, they now had no reason to refute it.

WeChat.

Had truly captured the older user market that QQ had never managed to penetrate before.

“Perhaps.”

Ma Liuyun finally spoke.

“It’s truly as I said before.”

“The simplicity of account registration and the real social connections built on phone contacts are indeed key to attracting older users.”

“It’s just that before.”

“QQ simply didn’t discover this potential.”

After Ma Liuyun finished speaking.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

After a while.

It was Li Wenqiu who spoke.

“Actually, we can’t be blamed.”

“Previously, QQ’s user base was almost entirely young people.”

“And for young people, the hassle of registering a QQ account and the ability to add contacts from their phone book aren’t very important.”

“In fact, the QQ number, which is difficult for older users to remember, is precisely what young people like.”

“Many young people constantly register new QQ numbers just to get a so-called ‘lucky number,’ and some lucky QQ numbers are even highly sought after and can be sold at high prices.”

“As for phone contacts, they are even more irrelevant to young people.”

“Even if older family members have QQ numbers, many young people are unwilling to add them, feeling it’s not as convenient as making a phone call.”

Li Wenqiu paused.

“It was precisely because of the young user base’s disregard for these two aspects that we also felt these two WeChat designs were actually very ordinary, with nothing special about them.”

“But we forgot.”

“Our way of thinking.”

“Has always been from the perspective of young users.”

“For older users, these two designs are actually huge advantages.”

After Li Wenqiu finished speaking, Ma Liuyun also nodded.

He looked at Ma.

“QQ’s user base is basically young people, so it’s understandable that we think from the perspective of young people.”

“It’s truly remarkable that WeChat was able to acutely perceive the market for older users.”

Listening to Ma Liuyun’s voice.

Ma also let out a long breath and sat down in the chair behind him.

“I just regret.”

“Why didn’t we intervene when WeChat was aggressively promoting itself in the older user market?”

“Our caution and disdain, instead, gave WeChat time to develop.”

“One hundred million users.”

Ma clicked his tongue.

“Originally, these older users should have all been QQ users.”

“In that case, QQ’s daily active users could even break through 700 million.”

After Ma finished speaking.

Li Wenqiu below spoke again.

“Actually, Mr. Ma doesn’t need to worry too much about WeChat.”

“The older user market for chat software in Yan Country won’t be too large; this number should already be the limit.”

“While it’s impressive that WeChat can have 100 million daily active users, it still poses no threat to QQ.”
