to 9 a.m. on January 4.
The cumulative number of activated users of Mobile QQ reached 303,100.
Information fee income was RMB 3.031 million.
Despite experiencing a series of surprises and excitement yesterday, Tong Fangquan and Wu Zhongyuan were still excited to see this data this morning.
At the same time, subsidiaries across the country learned the shocking news.
China Overseas Telecom launched a value-added service and actually gained 300,000 monthly users in one day. This really shocked all the branch colleagues.
Because they are brother companies and have very different business models, everyone can accurately realize the value of 300,000 monthly users.
Monthly users, as you can see from the word "monthly subscription", are sticky users with extremely high repurchase rates.
It is normal for most people to activate a value-added service on their mobile phones and keep it unchanged for a few months, a year or even a few years. Later, they forget that this service is available, but they are still paying for this service every month.
Therefore, it can be seen that the performance of Mobile QQ's business is indeed extraordinary, and its future income is also sufficiently guaranteed.
Thinking of this, the business leaders of each branch felt sour in their hearts.
The most depressing thing is that the business of China Overseas Branch actually still has to make money from the users of these branches.
This kind of overreaching behavior is actually what makes each branch feel most unhappy.
Therefore, China Overseas Telecom suddenly made all the brother companies across the country experience the true feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred.
In the morning, there was something even more envy-inducing.
The head office sent an email to all branches, taking China Overseas Branch as a model and introducing the operating model and revenue data of Mobile QQ business in great detail.
At the same time, all branches are also required to learn from China Shipping Branch, actively develop new business models, and try to integrate and interoperate with multiple channels.
As the person in charge of the value-added business of China Shipping Branch, Tong Fangquan's name was suddenly known to branches across the country.
Tong Fangquan was very excited about this. He had been working in the telecommunications industry for many years and had never been named and praised by the head office.
What's more, he was issued a special document by the head office and praised in front of all branches across the country. This is an excellent promotion capital for his future.
In the afternoon, the head office sent another document.
The document mentioned that at this year’s summary meeting before the Lunar New Year, Tong Fangquan was invited to attend the meeting by name.
Moreover, Tong Fangquan was asked to prepare in advance, and he would be given 20 minutes to make a report at the meeting, specifically introducing the causes and consequences of the Mobile QQ business.
The summary meeting of the head office is held in Yanjing at the end of the lunar calendar every year.
This is the highest-level meeting of the head office. Those who are qualified to participate in this meeting are all the first and second leaders of each branch.
Tong Fangquan is only the general manager of a business segment in China Overseas Telecom, and he is not responsible for the main business. Therefore, his actual ranking in the company is only six or seven, and he is not qualified to participate in this meeting.
Moreover, judging from normal circumstances, Tong Fangquan will not have the opportunity to participate in such a meeting within the next five years. This time it is definitely a special treatment, and it can be seen that the head office is indeed very concerned about this business.
Therefore, for Tong Fangquan, this opportunity is particularly precious.
Tong Fangquan was so excited that as soon as he received the instructions from the head office, he called his wife Chen Xinlin to tell her the good news.
Chen Xinlin was also pleasantly surprised when she heard that he was asked to attend the summary meeting and to make a special report to the group CEO and the CEOs of each branch.
At the same time, Wu Zhongyuan, the top leader of China Overseas Telecom, is also very happy.
Tong Fangquan showed his face very well this time, and his face as a boss also shined.
After all, Tong Fangquan's performance is also part of his performance, so the better Tong Fangquan does in this business, the greater his benefits will naturally be.
However, the other vice presidents and the section business general manager felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, everyone was doing things step by step. If you, Tong Fangquan, suddenly jumped out so far, wouldn't this mean you were separated from the main force? So it's normal to attract people's jealousy.
…
Because he had agreed with Tong Fangquan to visit him, Xu Yiyang did not eat with everyone and went to Zhonghai Yujing by himself.
Chen Xinlin had already prepared a table full of food and was just waiting for Xu Yiyang to come.
Tong Yuewei has been helping out, and when she knew Xu Yiyang was coming, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear all day long.
Tong Yuewei originally wanted to bring Gu Sijia over for dinner, but Gu Sijia heard that Tong Yuewei's parents wanted to invite Xu Yiyang to dinner, so she refused to come over.
At the same time, Gu Sijia was also surprised. She didn't expect that Tong Yuewei's parents had friends with Xu Yiyang.
What's even more rare is that Tong Yuewei has long said that her mother has no objection to her liking Xu Yiyang. In this way, Tong Yuewei seems to be a big step closer to her goal.
What about Shen Lele
Gu Sijia always felt that she was the biggest obstacle in Tong Yuewei's pursuit of Xu Yiyang, even like a big mountain. Even if Tong Yuewei's parents came to help, they might not be able to move this mountain, right
While eating alone in the cafeteria, Gu Sijia was still thinking about these complicated relationships. The more she thought about it, the more she felt particularly lost. Her feelings for Xu Yiyang became clearer and clearer, but the clearer they became, the sadder she felt.
When Xu Yiyang came to Zhonghai Yujing, he went directly to Tong Yuewei's house. The person who opened the door was Tong Fangquan. As soon as he saw him, he hurriedly greeted him: "Hey, Xiao Xu, come in, come in."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Uncle Tong, something was delayed."
"No delay, no delay." Tong Fangquan said hurriedly: "Your Aunt Chen has just prepared the meal. You came at the right time."
Xu Yiyang nodded, changed into slippers and came in. Chen Xinlin and Tong Yuewei both walked out of the restaurant. Chen Xinlin said with a smile: "Xiao Xu is here, sit down quickly, let's eat directly."
Tong Yuewei's face was flushed, she looked at Xu Yiyang shyly, and asked him: "Do you want a drink? I'll get it for you!"
Xu Yiyang said: "Don't bother, I'll have a couple of drinks with my uncle later."
Tong Yuewei said shyly: "Then you eat something first and then drink."
"good."
Tong Fangquan felt a little uncomfortable.
My daughter, for the past ten years or so, had been like a fake son. She was carefree all day long, and her hair never reached her shoulders.
It's better now, not to mention growing her long hair, but her personality suddenly split into a shy Xiaojiabiyu, who has never shown this side in front of her biological father.
Chen Xinlin also saw her daughter's girly heart, and smiled and invited Xu Yiyang to take a seat in the restaurant. As a matter of course, she let Xu Yiyang sit with her daughter, and she and her husband sat opposite.
Tong Fangquan took out a bottle of Maotai from under the table and said, "Xiao Xu, do you have anything to do tonight?"
Xu Yiyang nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay."
Chen Xinlin hurriedly took the glass, and Tong Fangquan filled it with wine, handed it to Xu Yiyang, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, our mobile QQ, as of five o'clock this afternoon, the number of subscribers has reached 360,000, information fee 3.6 million, this thing is really amazing!”
Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "This service is cost-effective for users, and it is natural for it to be popular."
Tong Fangquan sighed: "I never expected that things on the Internet would have such a strong appeal! This transformation is really amazing!"
Xu Yiyang nodded slightly, but he was not surprised at all.
Underestimating Tencent's potential is a mistake not only made by Tong Fangquan before, but also by countless people.
When Ma Huateng was running out of money for Tencent, he approached countless people for investment, but almost without exception they all rejected him;
Li Zekai, the second son of Hong Kong's richest man Li Ka-shing, underestimated the potential of Tencent and sold shares worth tens of billions of dollars more than ten years later at a low price of US$11 million, regretting it for the rest of his life.
At this time, there may not be many people in the market who are really optimistic about Tencent.
But Xu Yiyang knew very well that a company like Tencent itself was the most powerful gold-eating beast in the Internet industry. As long as it was given a chance, it would immediately show its incredible ability to attract money.
Once it starts the crazy money-making mode, it will make crazy money non-stop in the next twenty years or even longer, becoming the world's top Internet company.
Fortunately, I first became its shareholder before it woke up, and then woke it up with my own hands. From now on, Tencent's ability to attract money will make the entire Internet tremble.
What's even more fortunate is that I still have 15% of the shares locked up and will soon be in my pocket.
By then, he will be Tencent's largest shareholder!
How did Tong Fangquan know that the young man in front of him who had done him a big favor was the biggest winner in the whole thing.
He said to Xu Yiyang: "By the way, we analyzed the customer information registered with real names among the ordering users, and found that most of the people who order this business are young people under the age of 30. Users in the 22-28 age range account for the largest proportion. Look Coming to QQ is indeed a new thing that young people like very much."
Xu Yiyang agreed: "Young people have strong receptivity and a strong desire to explore new things. However, in the future, QQ users will definitely develop into lower and higher age groups. I think this product will have a lot of potential in the future." It may become a must-have product for Internet users across the country.”
"So powerful?" Tong Fangquan sighed: "Then the future development of this company will definitely go smoothly, and their boss will probably make a fortune!"
Xu Yiyang nodded: "He will definitely become a famous rich man in the country in the future."
Tong Fangquan said: "When Tencent settles the settlement from us, see if Mr. Ma will give you any feedback. If he doesn't give you any feedback, you have to give him a thumbs up. You have really helped them a lot this time. They will do it no matter what." Thank you very much."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Uncle Tong, don't worry, I will fight for my interests myself."
Tong Fangquan nodded approvingly and said, "Then I'll be relieved."
After saying that, he said to Xu Yiyang with a mysterious face: "One more thing, our business has only been online for a day and a half. I checked the usage of the information in the user package. Guess what?"
Xu Yiyang asked hurriedly: "Tell me, Uncle Tong, I can't guess it."
Tong Fangquan said: "For all users who have subscribed, the average number of messages received per person is 13! This is really scary! There are only 100 messages in their package. If it is calculated as 10 messages a day, then one person has to receive at least 300 messages a month. , the information fee needs to be paid an additional 20 yuan!”
Xu Yiyang was shocked and said: "The number of letters received is so high, what about the number of letters sent?"
Tong Fangquan smiled and said: "Sending letters is also very good. The average number of letters sent per person is 9, one and a half days, which means an average of 6 messages a day, 180 messages a month. All the messages are not included in the package, which is 18 yuan."
With that said, Tong Fangquan said again: "Look, the package is 10 yuan, with an additional 20 yuan for receiving messages and 18 yuan for sending messages. The information fee incurred by a user on Mobile QQ in a month is 48 yuan. Let's take a step back and calculate him. 40 yuan, if you have 500,000 users, that’s 20 million a month!”
Xu Yiyang nodded. The per capita consumption exceeded his expectations, but it was understandable.
Calculating this way, if there are one million Mobile QQ users, the monthly information fee will be 40 million, and the net profit will be in the range of one thousand to several million.
If Tencent develops steadily, the mobile QQ business may have a chance to achieve the profit target of 150 million this year, and by then all 15% of the shares will be unlocked to its own name.
At a certain moment, Xu Yiyang was also worried that the per capita consumption was a bit too high for users.
But think about it carefully. When I was in college, one of my classmates fell in love. One or two thousand text messages were sent every month, and one or two thousand minutes of phone calls were made. The monthly phone bill was two hundred.
Even if you use it casually, you will get at least two to three hundred text messages a month.
After all, there was no software like WeChat at that time, the traffic cost was high, and the only way to exchange information was through text messages.
A dime a piece seems very cheap. Two people in love text almost non-stop all day long, and can spend a month's living expenses just by poking at the phone keyboard with their fingers.
Therefore, spending dozens of yuan on Mobile QQ a month is not actually a high consumption. After all, the charge for each message is still a dime, but it provides them with an additional channel to send text messages to QQ users. This price is already Very kind.
Xu Yiyang remembers that after the separation of China Mobile and China Unicom, text messages were not interoperable at first. In the early days of interoperability, the cost of sending messages across networks was five cents more than ordinary text messages.
For example, if you are a China Mobile user, sending text messages to China Unicom users is only 15 cents. Later, PHS business also opened text messages. Among the three, the cost of cross-network text messages is higher than the original cost.
It wasn't until January 15, 2009, when superior authorities required telecom companies at all levels to implement unified pricing, that the price for text messages sent to each other by users of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom was unified to 10 cents.
So, looking at it this way, Mobile QQ might be able to save money for users, at least without the extra cross-network costs.
Tong Fangquan was excited, picked up his wine glass, and offered Xu Yiyang a glass of wine.
Later, Tong Fangquan talked about the head office issuing a document to publicly praise him, and asking him to attend the year-end summary meeting in Yanjing and give a speech.
Xu Yiyang quickly congratulated Tong Fangquan. Within the system, such exceptional treatment will definitely provide a strong boost for his future advancement.
Tong Yuewei on the side was dumbfounded. Only then did she realize that Xu Yiyang had helped her father so much.
Tong Fangquan and Xu Yiyang exchanged cups for a few rounds. When they talked about preparing courseware in the next two days, Xu Yiyang also offered: "Uncle Tong, I also have some knowledge of PPT. If you trust me, you can show it to me after you finish it." Look, let me help you optimize it.”
"Oops!" Tong Fangquan said excitedly: "I'm having a headache with this PPT. I'm not very good at using it and the things I make don't look good. And to be honest, my understanding of the Internet is not deep enough and I'm a little behind the times. Try I write about the reasons for the success of Mobile QQ business, but I always feel that I can’t get the idea right.”
After saying that, Tong Fangquan hurriedly said: "In this way, I will do it for the next few days. When I finish it, I will ask you to give me a hand!"
Xu Yiyang agreed without hesitation and said, "No problem, call me when you're done."
At this time, Tong Fangquan suddenly remembered his wife's new business this year, and asked Xu Yiyang: "Xiao Xu, are you interested in publishing a book?"
