It’s just that the underlying map has important strategic significance and its monetization ability is average.

It doesn’t make much sense for Shawn Yue to stay in Gaode.

But Ele.me is different. This core business has a bright future.

It won't be a problem for our future revenue and profit to be ten times or a hundred times that of AutoNavi.

Therefore, when Wang Yi asked Shawn Yue to come to Are You Hungry, Shawn Yue became excited:

"Chairman, I will actively cooperate with Mr. Zhang to make Ele.me bigger and stronger!"

"Very good, you can become the vice president of Ele.me first and lead a team of people to develop Shenzhen Station."

Wang Yi said decisively: "In the future, the development of Ele.me will start from the first-tier cities, and then advance to the second-tier cities one by one."

"yes!"

Stations have opened in the north, and Guangzhou and Shenzhen cannot be left behind.

As for Guangshi, Wang Yi asked Zhang Hao to arrange for a vice president from the founding team of Ele.me to develop it!

Through this kind of pioneering, we can best see the actual ability of a senior executive.

For these vice presidents and webmasters in various cities, Wang Yi will arrange for people to secretly conduct various investigations, evaluations, and assessments.

If you have outstanding abilities and good character, you will not only be the vice president of Ele.me in the future, but you will even be transferred to the group headquarters to be the leader of other businesses!

But if the ability is mediocre, then he will be transferred to the logistics department and marginalized.

If your abilities are mediocre and your intentions are evil, then you can directly optimize them or even send them in!

Send off Shawn Yue, Wang Yi and the X chat development department in Jeju and hold a video conference.

Wang Yi is very glad that he was reborn in 2011 instead of 2013.

In 2011, Ele.me was still small and only opened sites in some areas of three cities.

Meituan has just been established and is still struggling in the battle of thousands of regiments.

ByteDance has not yet been established, and Douyin is even more out of the question.

The newly established Kuaishou, also called "GIF Kuaishou", focuses on GIF image production and has not yet transformed into short videos.

Even BAT has just emerged from the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period and is not yet a terrifying giant that will be difficult to shake after many years.

Baidu, as the leader of BAT, is only the king of the PC era, and it still looks down upon the mobile terminal.

Baidu Navigation is only the third largest company and has not become bigger.

Alibaba e-commerce started, O2O has not yet developed its strength, and the cloud computing Feitian system has just begun.

Goose Factory has dominated the PC era with the help of QQ, and has also focused on games. In recent years, DNF, CF, Speed ​​Car, and Dance Dance have become very popular.

The newly released League of Legends has a bright future.

But WeChat, which has made Penguin so popular on mobile devices, has just been released, has a single function and has very few users.

Everyone feels that the current WeChat is not as easy to use as QQ, and there is no need to change platforms.

And this is Wang Yi's opportunity!

Especially the current WeChat, which has not even released the friend circle function, nor the web version, and video chat will not be available until the second half of next year.

The number of WeChat users is only 70 million.

It can be said that WeChat has just started and it can be defeated!

It is also the only chance that can be defeated.

Once WeChat launches all these functions next year and the number of users quickly exceeds 200 million, it will be really difficult to shake.

Therefore, Wang Yi decided that X chat could not be delayed any longer. Even if there was a war with Goose Factory, it had to be released as soon as possible!

We must not wait for WeChat to grow.

"Lao Cai, how is the development progress of X chat?"

Cai Zisong said: "Chairman, version 0 of

The bugs have been fixed and can be released at any time.”

In the previous life, WeChat only launched the friend circle function in March next year, and X chat was launched three months in advance, which is of great significance.

But just having this lead is not enough.

So Wang Yi asked the development team to add a speech-to-text function.

The current WeChat only supports sending voice messages and does not support voice calls and video calls.

Wang Yi remembers that WeChat video calling was released in the second half of 2012, and voice calling was released in 2013!

As for why the video call came first and the voice call came later, Wang Yi didn't know.

But it is probably related to the game between WeChat and the three major operators.

After all, with the advent of free voice calls on WeChat, the call revenue of the three major operators has plummeted.

There is a very embarrassing problem with current voice messages.

Even when I receive a voice message, there are situations where it is not suitable for external broadcasting and the content of the message cannot be heard.

But X chat has launched voice-to-text, which makes it much easier.

In situations where it is inconvenient to play outside, you can also directly convert voice to text.

The speech-to-text function has certain technical difficulties. The more precise it is, the higher the difficulty.

Wang Yi likes this function very much and remembers it deeply. In his previous life, WeChat was only launched in 2019.

But now, X chat has been made!

As for technology, it is naturally provided by Xiaoi Robot.

Xiaoi Robot started out with natural language processing, and has sufficient technical reserves in this area, so it is certainly not difficult.

But it's hard to say after changing BAT.

After all, the technical content of high-precision speech-to-text conversion is still very high.

"Very good, Moments + voice-to-text are the trump card of X chat 0. It will be released on New Year's Day!"

New Year's Day is coming in two days. Wang Yi will wait and see Baidu's actions and prepare for the New Year's Day strategy conference!

A series of strategic software will be released on New Year's Day!

Cai Zisong continued: "Chairman, there is currently no problem with version 0. Version 0 is also progressing rapidly. Our version 0 has a video call function. It has just been made and is still under testing. If everything goes well, it will be released in half a month.

.In addition, we also made a PC web version!”

"It's very good. The PC web version + video call function is half a year ahead of WeChat. It will be released just before the Spring Festival."

Wang Yi has thought it through.

Once X chat launches the friend circle function and voice-to-text function, WeChat will follow suit as soon as possible.

It’s just that before they launched Moments and voice-to-text, X Chat launched PC version and video calls.

One step ahead, every step ahead!

As long as it can continue to lead WeChat for half a year to a year, it can completely defeat WeChat.

After all, WeChat currently only has 70 million users, although QQ attracts traffic.

But Wang Yi also has Meiyou to attract traffic, and Xingyi has built-in X chat on his mobile phone, so he can definitely catch up.

Coupled with its continued leadership in functionality, it can surpass WeChat!

After 2011, Tencent became bigger through WeChat.

And through WeChat, it attracts investment to Penguin Internet companies such as Pinduoduo, Didi, Meituan, and JD.com.

He also used WeChat to disrupt Alipay and suppress competitors such as Taobao and Douyin.

It can be said that the core of everything is WeChat!

If Wang Yi doesn’t want to be suppressed, if he wants to use WeChat to hail taxis to Amap and attract traffic from Ele.me’s takeaways, he has to create his own WeChat!

Let X chat replace WeChat!

Nowadays, Xingyi Technology's stall is getting bigger and bigger, and there is nothing we can do about it.

In the future, the competition on the Internet will be the competition of the ecosystem! If one link is missing, you will be chased by the other party!

For example, in the previous life, BAT and Toutiao were engaged in social networking, e-commerce, search, live streaming, short videos, games, etc., and invested in everything.

It's just that some businesses failed and went bankrupt, but they have all invested, tried, and participated.

Only in this way can a complete ecological system be established and become one of the four major Internet factions.

Anyone who only does one business is their little brother!

Such is the development of the Internet. If Wang Yi wants to become one of the four Internet giants, he has to be involved in everything, do everything, and create his own ecosystem.

If there is no complete ecosystem and some platforms are missing, BAT Toutiao will not provide help to Xingyi Technology. Instead, it will take the opportunity to block and suppress Xingyi Technology!
