Liu Edong had long known that Li Mu wanted to poach Chen Tong.
Although he didn't know why Li Mu was interested in Chen Tong, a senior who was at least ten years older than him, he felt that he was Li Mu's partner and should do his best to solve problems for him, even if this matter had nothing to do with him and Li Mu. It has nothing to do with Taobao.
Therefore, when he received a call from the intermediary saying that Chen Tong wanted to invite him to have a drink with him, he agreed without hesitation.
Chen Tong chose a restaurant with an elegant environment and a rich literary atmosphere. After the three met in the restaurant, Chen Tong ordered a bunch of delicious dishes to go with wine as quickly as possible and ordered a pound of white wine. As soon as the food and wine were served, Chen Tong personally After three glasses of wine, he said to Liu Eodong and another old school friend, Xiao Zheng: "Thank you both for coming all the way. Let me toast you first."
As the middleman who brought the two of them together, Xiao Zheng glanced at Chen Tong and asked him, "What's wrong, Old Chen? What troubles have you encountered?"
Chen Tong waved his hand: "I mainly want to have a drink with you today, and I won't mention the annoying things."
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, picked up the wine glass and said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. It's all in the wine. Come on, one of us will go first."
Liu Edong guessed that Chen Tong must have encountered something unsatisfactory at work, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged to go out for a drink as soon as he got off work. He thought about it and didn't say much at first. He first accompanied Chen Tong for three drinks and waited for Chen Tong After feeling a little drunk, he said: "Brother Chen, brother, the e-commerce website I am cooperating with others will be launched next week. If you are free then, come over and provide training for our team. ?”
Chen Tong laughed at himself and said, "I'm just a website developer. I don't know anything about e-commerce. It's better not to mislead others."
Liu Edong said hurriedly: "Brother Chen, after all, e-commerce also relies on content to win. You have been working on Internet content for so many years and have rich experience. If the people in my team can master your understanding of the Internet and users, Thirty percent, I would wake up laughing in my dream."
Xiao Zheng also said at the right time: "Yes, Old Chen, you are quite qualified in the Internet industry. Going to give lectures to the young people of the East Company to deepen their understanding of the Internet can also be regarded as helping the East to improve." The team is level.”
Chen Tong sighed softly: "Okay, as long as you are not afraid that I will mislead others, then I will show my ugliness with shame."
Liu Edong smiled and said: "Then I will make arrangements. The time will be next Friday afternoon. I wonder if Brother Chen will have time then?"
Chen Tong didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I have no other arrangements for the time being. Let's just schedule it for next Friday."
Throughout the evening, Chen Tong did not discuss the troubles he encountered at work with Liu Edong and Xiao Zheng, but Liu Edong vaguely felt that Chen Tong seemed to have more resentment, and he probably had some kind of conflict with Sina. This This must be good news for Li Mu, who has always wanted to poach him.
The two of them drank with Chen Tong until eleven o'clock in the evening. All three of them drank a lot, but they all drank in comparison to their own drinking capacity, so no one really drank too much. After they went home, Liu Edong called Li Mu, Let’s briefly talk about today’s situation.
Li Mu heard Liu Yidong talk about drinking with Chen Tong. Chen Tong seemed to be in something wrong, so he asked Liu Yidong: "What problems do you think he is facing now?"
Liu Edong said: "I think 80% of it is related to work. He puts too much effort into his work. If he encounters troubles at work, it is normal to be in this state."
Li Mu said: "Sina's current development situation is very good. What does he have to worry about?"
Liu Edong said: "It may be that he has conflicts or differences with other people. I heard vague news that he doesn't seem to support Sina's recruitment of the QQ team to continue developing UC."
Li Mu said: "It's possible, if it were me in his place, I wouldn't support Sina in developing UC."
Liu Edong said: "No matter what the reason is, this is at least a good signal for Makino Technology. The prerequisite for poaching Chen Tong is to make him feel disappointed with Sina. Otherwise, he can poach him just relying on money and treatment." It was too difficult for him, but now he is at least a little looser."
Li Mu hummed and couldn't help but ask him: "By the way, you asked him to go to Taobao to give lectures to the team next Friday? Our Taobao will be online next Thursday. What kind of bad water are you holding in your stomach?"
Liu Edong smiled and said: "I'm not holding back any bad opinions. I just want to find an opportunity to give Brother Chen a little more confidence and let him know the gap between Sina and Makino Technology. I have always told him that I am building an e-commerce website, but I have never been able to do so." Tell him what kind of website I am building. We will go online next Thursday. With the first batch of MP3s customized by Yiting.com, there will definitely be some news, and he will definitely hear about it. If he asks me then , I’ll just say it bluntly, if you don’t ask, I will continue to talk about it, but no matter what, he will definitely not go back on what he promised me, so he will definitely come to Taobao headquarters on Friday. You can come over then, I will let you go first. He feels frustrated, and you use your best psychological offensive to completely destroy his confidence and emotions in Sina."
Li Mu smacked his lips and said: "The method is good, but isn't it a bit damaging?"
Liu Edong said very seriously: "Forget it, I don't think this is a bad move. After several contacts, I think Brother Chen is quite suitable for me. It just so happens that you want to dig him into Makino Technology, so I I would rather help you destroy his pride and make him surrender to you than let him, with his pride and his career, be completely destroyed by you like QQ. I do this to save him and give him a better life. Otherwise, if you knock out Sina one day, it will be difficult for him to go forward."
…
On the eve of Taobao's launch, YY123 continued to be strong.
In the past few days since its launch, YY has given YY123 a user-wide pop-up window every day, causing YY123's traffic to continue to rise in a short period of time. This daily pop-up window made Li Xingping anxious.
In one weekend, his Hao123 traffic dropped by 40%. The lethality of YY was indeed too high and unacceptable.
Li Mu's current plan is to continue to use YY to divert traffic to YY123 and continue to encroach on Hao123's share. He will first get rid of Li Xingping's anxiety disorder, and then use offline advertising endorsed by Du Wei to give him the final fatal blow. Then, he Then we can start the acquisition of Hao123.
The whole thing about the navigation website has entered Li Mu's rhythm. Li Xingping can't avoid Li Mu's routine at all. The rest is just a matter of time. However, the problem of the portal makes Li Mu a little anxious and angry. He can't find the right person to take charge of the overall situation. He It is difficult to compete with established portals such as Sina and NetEase in the portal field, because Li Mu knows that portals rely not on traffic but on content.
After 2012, Internet people collectively denounced the portal, feeling that the portal, the PC side, and the Web side had all declined, or even entered their twilight years. However, Li Mu believed that the portal was an indispensable aircraft carrier in the Web field.
If Sina had not relied on its own powerful portal website, it would have been impossible to start a blog, let alone Weibo. In particular, Weibo, a large product with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, became a major weapon that saved Sina in the end. The foundation of NetEase is also the portal website, otherwise it would be impossible to develop its game industry. A good portal, like a good product, represents traffic and users.
With a powerful portal in hand, there are so many directions for development in the future. In the future, many new product models will appear in the form of the Web, first taking shape on the PC web side, and then gradually shift to the next generation after the advent of the smartphone and 3G era. With the shift of mobile Internet, video websites and e-commerce websites are all conceived from the Web side, including YouTube, Facebook, Youku, Wiki, blogs, Weibo, matchmaking, dating and other models are all conceived from the Web side, in Li Mu’s view , Tengxun's portal has always been too bad. They pay too much attention to the QQ product and focus all their energy on QQ. With QQ's consistent strength, if it really paid attention to the portal from the beginning, how could it It may give Youku a chance to rise, but how can it not catch up with Taobao and defeat Sina Weibo no matter how hard it is
Tengxun Weibo tried its best to catch up with Sina Weibo, but in the end it had to give up this product line. The reason why it could not defeat Sina Weibo was not because there was no traffic, nor was it because it did not have this gene. The core key is that it has not been truly solid since the portal era. Almost all the traffic sources of the QQ portal come from QQ, which is equivalent to a portal built on QQ. However, we must really focus on the content. In terms of quality, none of the content in the QQ portal itself is professional enough. News is not as good as Sina and NetEase, video is not as good as Youku and Tudou, sports is not as good as Sina and LeTV, and cars are not as good as Autohome. If done well, if they are not recommended through QQ pop-up windows, very few users will actively choose the QQ portal.
If you don’t create content carefully and make the content thorough, how can you make users truly dependent on it? This is the key reason why Teng Xun failed to develop Weibo and video.
It is precisely because Li Mu realized the crux of the problem that he had an extremely urgent desire for Chen Tong to build the portal to provide more possibilities for future development. With the continuous improvement of bandwidth, the web side can be derived in the future. There are simply too many business lines, and some of them are beyond the capabilities of YY. When hardware and networks are not allowed to support the mobile Internet era, it is necessary to rely on portals to fill the gaps in YY's capabilities.
Li Mu planned many things, and he also wanted to do everything like Teng Xun of later generations. Teng Xun of later generations did almost all industries in the Internet field, including instant messaging, mobile Internet, online games, WeChat, websites, and videos. , blog, Weibo, email, alumni, O2O, C2C, B2C, etc., etc., in almost all fields, Teng Xun tries to do it himself first, and he succeeds if he succeeds, and he does not give up if he fails. , but to save the country through curves and invest in other related companies to achieve a certain share of the industry. Even for those products that are really impossible to make, they have never given up. The worst is to make them and put them away. There he was left to fend for himself.
Li Mu's goal is to be a Teng Xun in the new era. He wants to plan the overall situation just like Teng Xun in his previous life, but he must do his best in every aspect from the beginning...
