206: Section 206

“And us.”

“We can only hinder WeChat’s actions in the chat domain, but for another domain, we have no solution.”

“The current QQ.”

Little Ma looked up and scanned everyone.

“Essentially speaking.”

“It can no longer affect WeChat.”

“Therefore.”

“We must seek change!”

Chapter 139: Tencent's Backstab, QQ Launches Online Payment!

Little Ma’s voice slowly echoed in the office.

And listening to him.

Someone in the room couldn't help but speak.

“Although our QQ can only hinder WeChat’s actions in the chat domain, isn't there still Ali’s Blue Wallet?”

“As long as we maintain a close relationship with Ali Group and let them hinder WeChat’s actions in the payment domain, wouldn’t that work?”

As that person’s words fell.

The other people in the office all looked at Little Ma.

Because their thoughts were similar to that person’s.

Although QQ could only act in the chat domain, Blue Wallet could fill their other gap.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Little Ma slowly shook his head.

“You still haven’t discovered the problem.”

“A month ago, WeChat launched a QR code Red Envelope activity, and because it was based on Weixin Wallet, we had no way to respond and could only watch helplessly.”

“At that time, Blue Wallet did take action.”

“But what was the final effect?”

Little Ma paused.

“Blue Wallet copied all the activities launched by Weixin Wallet, almost replicating them one-to-one.”

“But ultimately.”

“Blue Wallet still couldn’t stop the increase in WeChat users; it only increased some of Blue Wallet’s own user numbers.”

“And the reason why Blue Wallet’s attack on WeChat didn’t have much effect, besides being related to the characteristics of payment software itself, the other most important reason is that WeChat is not just a simple payment software.”

Little Ma glanced at a few people, then slowly continued.

“If WeChat was just a simple online payment software.”

“Then Weixin Wallet would probably have been unable to compete with Blue Wallet by now.”

“But.”

Little Ma did not continue speaking.

Listening to his explanation, Ma Liuyun finally understood Little Ma’s thoughts.

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

“But.”

“WeChat is essentially still a chat software!”

Ma Liuyun looked up at Little Ma.

“Previously, when Blue Wallet dealt with other online payment software, it only needed to keep copying various activities from the other party, because as soon as the activity heat passed, these payment software couldn’t retain users, and the ultimate winner was still Blue Wallet. After all, in terms of burning money, no company can compare to him.”

“But WeChat is different.”

“It can leverage its chat attributes and real-world social network to firmly bind users within the software.”

Speaking of which.

Ma Liuyun couldn't help but swallow.

He already knew what Little Ma’s conclusion was.

“WeChat uses payment functions to make our QQ helpless against it.”

“All activities carried out through Weixin Wallet, our QQ can only watch and cannot intervene in any way.”

“And on the other side.”

“Even if Blue Wallet aggressively targets Weixin Wallet, even if it can attract more users, even if the activities it copies and launches generate greater buzz, as long as time passes, due to WeChat’s inherent characteristics, Blue Wallet’s user retention will always only be a fraction of WeChat’s.”

“In a word.”

Ma Liuyun looked at everyone.

“WeChat uses payment functions to make QQ helpless against itself, and it uses chat attributes to prevent Blue Wallet from posing too much of a threat to it.”

“From this perspective.”

“Even if we cooperate with Blue Wallet, we fundamentally cannot affect WeChat!”

As Ma Liuyun’s words fell.

Everyone present couldn't help but look a bit grim.

They finally understood why Little Ma said QQ must seek change.

Next.

WeChat’s target will definitely be the young user group.

And if WeChat acts from the payment domain, then they can only pin their hopes on Blue Wallet.

But no matter what Blue Wallet does, it cannot completely stop WeChat’s actions.

Therefore.

They can only rely on themselves.

And listening to Ma Liuyun’s words.

Little Ma also couldn't help but take a deep breath.

“That’s right.”

“Once WeChat launched the Weixin Wallet function.”

“In fact, neither QQ nor Blue Wallet could basically stop its development.”

“This is brought about by the characteristics of the software itself.”

“However.”

Little Ma looked at the others.

“It’s not too late for us to know this situation now.”

“Before WeChat officially takes its next step, we still have a chance.”

Hearing this.

Everyone instantly became excited.

“Mr. Ma, what are you planning to do?”

Li Wenqiu asked.

Little Ma took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Haidi, who was beside him.

During the previous discussion, Zheng Haidi hadn’t said much.

Seeing Little Ma’s gaze, Zheng Haidi also understood something and then nodded.

Everyone’s gaze followed Little Ma to him.

“Actually, a month ago.”

“Mr. Ma already had me secretly leading several teams to develop a completely new function for QQ.”

“Originally, before.”

“We might not have launched this feature.”

“But when WeChat’s latest daily active user data came out, Mr. Ma immediately called me and told me to prepare.”

Hearing this.

Ma Liuyun hurriedly asked.

“What function? Why haven’t we heard anything about it?”
