Chapter 487 Chat Red Envelope is online, BAT is terrified!(1/3)
But this time, even if Tencent is engaged in taxi-hailing, it probably won’t burn a lot of money.
Without him, in the previous life, Didi and the fast ones took a 30% commission and were profitable, so Tencent and Alibaba would spend a lot of money on subsidies in order to seize the market.
After all, the money you burn now will be earned back in the future.
But now, Wang Yi has reduced the commission to 20% at the beginning, directly lowering the profits of the entire industry.
Let the taxi-hailing industry start in an era of low profits.
In the era of low profits, there is no possibility of making big profits, and the goose factory will also lose the motivation to burn money.
As for if you are losing money now, can you make it back by going public in the future?
This is also difficult.
AutoNavi Taxi already has hundreds of millions of users. Tencent Taxi has not yet been launched, so it will be difficult for users to catch up with AutoNavi.
Without enough user scale, listing will become nonsense.
What's more, the taxi-hailing industry is so sensitive that it would be difficult to go public.
In this way, the possibility of Tencent burning money on taxi-hailing is much smaller.
What's more important is that Tencent Maps has just started, so Tencent taxi services will no longer be available in a short period of time.
Whether it can be done in the future is a question.
Even if Tencent starts taxi-hailing, Wang Yi doesn't mind, as long as he doesn't spend money on subsidies.
Without spending money on subsidies, everyone can make money, even if it's several billion a year, they still make money.
Once money is spent on subsidies, they will lose money, and they will lose billions a year.
In the end, it would be boring for both sides to lose.
If the situation really develops to that point, Wang Yi will have to talk to Director Ma.
No one is burning money, competition is gentle, and development is harmonious.
There is no need to spend money on subsidies. Both sides suffer. In the end, in order to recover the losses, the prices have to be increased and the losses are transferred to the users.
"Chairman, Tencent Maps has shown its sword, are we not responding at all?" Jian Ziyan asked again.
"If you don't respond, our battlefield is not here."
Wang Yi smiled slightly and changed the topic: "Inform the Changchao department to prepare to use your sword to kill WeChat!"
Maps and taxis are all on a small level.
Even if Goose Factory made a move, Wang Yi ignored it.
On the contrary, chatting about red envelopes is Wang Yi’s trump card, the one that will completely put WeChat away!
Nowadays, the difference in user scale between Changchat and WeChat is getting bigger and bigger, but if you want to defeat WeChat, you still need an opportunity.
After all, WeChat would not be stupid enough to provide a suicide function such as message read, so Wang Yi could only create an opportunity himself.
And chatting about red envelopes is the opportunity to give away WeChat completely.
This is also the reason why the Changchao department collectively works overtime and takes a few days off from work.
Tencent headquarters.
Director Ma, all core senior executives and Tencent employees are still on duty.
Director Ma stood in front of the window, looking at the fog-shrouded Imperial Capital, and couldn't help but ask: "Xingyi Technology hasn't responded yet?"
"not yet."
"Where's Gothe?"
"There was no response."
"How could this happen?" Ma Dong was confused: "Tencent Maps launched it forcefully, and they all responded with shame. Xingyi Technology and Amap didn't respond at all. This is not normal."
"Chairman, is it because they all have a holiday? After all, today is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month." said the vice president.
Another executive also echoed: "It should be like this. Xingyi Technology takes a holiday very early. After the annual meeting is held on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, they take annual leave. They are among the earliest batch."
Many annual holidays in large factories start from the Spring Festival. In other words, you have to work on New Year's Eve.
In addition, there is no New Year's Eve this year, so most companies don't have a holiday until the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
Companies like Goose Factory that can take a holiday on the afternoon of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month are considered very good.
As for Xingyi Technology, it started its holiday on the afternoon of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it went directly to the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, giving a total of 11 days, which is very generous.
Even the big BTA manufacturers can’t do it, don’t even think about it.
"Is it possible that it's because they are all on holiday?" Ma Dong was also stunned.
This rhythm is completely unlike the big BAT factory.
Which major manufacturer is willing to take a holiday on the afternoon of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month and play at home on the 26th...
"It should be like this. I also heard today that some employees complained anonymously. They said that Xingyi Technology had an early holiday. They were jealous. They greeted our management by the way and said that all the classmates from Xingyi Technology had arrived home and he hadn't bought a ticket yet.
…”
Ma Dong's mouth twitched: "!!!"
Without Xingyi Technology, Tencent would have a holiday on the afternoon of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone feels that compared to companies that have a holiday on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, it is considered very conscientious.
With Xingyi Technology, we have a holiday on the 25th afternoon of the twelfth lunar month, and Goose Factory has a holiday on the 28th afternoon of the twelfth lunar month, which has been criticized.
It can only be said that there is no harm without comparison.
Director Ma shook his head: "Something is wrong, very wrong. Even if Xingyi Technology is on holiday, should there be someone on duty? It's impossible not to respond at all. This is not in line with Director Wang's style of doing things."
"This..." The subordinate also fell silent.
The vice president nodded: "Yes, Director Wang always acts vigorously and resolutely. He always takes quick action and counterattacks quickly. It shouldn't be like this."
Ma Dong nodded: "It is indeed abnormal."
Another executive said with a smile: "Wang Yi is a young man after all. Does he feel that after the Chinese New Year, he should just relax and not bother?"
"Is that so?" Ma Dong frowned and sighed: "Forget it, don't worry about it. Tencent Map was successfully released today, and tomorrow will be the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. According to the plan, the holiday will begin tomorrow afternoon."
"yes!"
The vice president and senior executives turned around and left, but Director Ma looked at the heavy fog outside the window, feeling increasingly uncertain.
I always feel that this is not like Wang Yi’s style.
I even had a bad feeling.
Waiting until three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no response from Xingyi Technology. Director Ma then breathed a sigh of relief:
"It seems that Wang Yi really wants to spend the New Year in peace and is too lazy to respond. It's time for me to relax. This year has been really..."
Director Ma hesitated for a moment: "This year has not been very good, but compared to Alibaba and Baidu, it is still much better, especially Baidu, which is terrible. Baidu search and Baidu Maps have been hit hard. Alibaba is not so good either.
Di, there are problems with the O2O layout, e-commerce is also facing a crisis, and Xingyi Technology’s Double 12 also has a big impact on Alibaba.”
After reading this, Ma Dong finally showed some smile.
Don't be afraid of having a hard time yourself, as long as your friends and businessmen have a harder time.
The next day, the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Xingyi Technology still made no move.
Thanks to Tencent's promotion, Tencent Maps has been on the hot search for two days in a row, attracting some attention and adding two million new users, which is a good start.
In addition, the next day is New Year's Eve, and all departments of Tencent have begun to take annual holidays.
Some people catch the train and leave in the morning, while others go to the airport at noon.
By the afternoon, there were only a few people on duty in the huge Tencent headquarters.
Even Ma Dong and other high-level officials have returned home.
Similarly, Baidu and Alibaba also start their holidays on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.
There is no New Year's Eve this year, but any company that wants to celebrate will not postpone its holiday until New Year's Eve.
We will send employees home to celebrate New Year’s Eve one day in advance!
However, just after the BAT giants went on vacation and all their employees left, Xingyi Technology made big moves.
At 7 p.m., Changchao started pushing the new version 3.0.
At this time, most people are eating, playing cards, and using wifi at home, chatting to automatically upgrade to version 3.0.
