Chapter 216 Japanese and South Korean Opponents

Originally, most of the companies are 'old people'. Most of the senior executives are old people who follow Wang Zhengfei to beat the country. They are convinced of Wang Zhengfei, the chairman who is a little smaller than them. Only the other presidents are somewhat uncertain. Although they are not better than those who claim to be old people. The people have a lot of experience, but after all, Wang Zhengfei is not very in charge now. They are not fighting with Wang Zhengfei, mainly because they are now convinced.

In addition to crooked, the fastest and biggest development of the whole Ruifeng in more than six months is Renren.com, which is different from the current development in China. Renren.com has expanded abroad. With Renren.com has gained absolute advantages in China, it began to extend its tentacles to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan as There are no strong SNS opponents in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in the Greater Chinese-speaking region, and Renren has easily taken root.

Southeast Asia is not difficult at all to be captured by Renren. Although the degree of economic development in Southeast Asia is not the same as that in Northeast Asia, and the popularity of computers is not as that of Northeast Asian countries and regions, there are many people, and there are many people in the modified version of Renren.com in Southeast Asia. After entering Southeast Asia, Southeast Asia, which did not have such an SNS website, quickly set off a wave of SNS websites. Many young people who had no place to communicate suddenly found a place to communicate, which suddenly became the favorite way for young people to communicate.

Just like in China, Wang Zhengfei's strategy for Southeast Asia also starts with universities. No matter which country, college students in universities are the fastest and most dynamic group to accept new things, so they accept SNS websites, a field that still looks very fresh now. The night is very fast, just like domestic college students. With the support of the strong funds of Ruifeng Technology, it has not experienced the hardships of the development period of Renren. In just half a year, together with users in Southeast Asia, the number of crooked registered users has exceeded 80 million, straight to the goal of 100 million people. This is a huge and terrible number. Words, because these 80 million users are all real-name users, there is no need to be inferior in terms of quantity alone, not to mention the quality, crooked can not be compared with Renren.com at all. Once Xu Jiahao and Wang Zhengfei joked that even if Renren is about to close down in the future, there are so many user information, one by one. If you sell it, it will be an astronomical figure.

Of course, Wang Zhengfei is not so tasteless. Wang Zhengfei, who had enough of this loss in his previous life, would not have done that kind of thing, otherwise he would not be able to pass his own level.

With such a large number of users, Wang Zhengfei is really confident that he can compete with Facebook on a global scale. It has not been seen for more than half a year. Facebook is stronger than before. After obtaining venture capital, the development of Facebook is out of control. Now Facebook has expanded to most Smaller universities and colleges in the United States and Canada. In addition, it has expanded to 21 universities in the UK, ITE** in Mexico, the University of Puerto Rico, and the University of the Virgin Islands.

The development speed is very frightenable, which is a little faster than the development speed of Renren.com at the beginning. After all, Wang Zhengfei insisted on refusing to accept financing at the beginning, but Facebook was willing to accept financing, so the starting speed was much faster than Renren.com at the beginning. Wang Zhengfei got the news now Facebook has planned to open it to high school students. The information highway plan in the United States allows almost every family in the United States to have more than one computer, but it is not the current situation in China. After the opening, there is no doubt that the number of users will multiply.

The U.S. branch of Renren was not very smooth from the beginning. Although Wang Zhengfei attaches great importance to the construction of the U.S. branch, under the huge pressure of Facebook, the development of Renren is not smooth.com. Compared with the expansion of Facebook in Europe and the United States, it is not smooth. In the past half a year, although the development of Renren has been very rapid, it is nothing. In the past half a year, the number of users has soared to 15 million, becoming the second largest SNS website after Facebook. Although it is not a local website, it relies on Renren, a parent company far more powerful than Facebook at that time. The strength of the network is also a high progress all the way, and the number of users is close to half of that of Facebook.com.

The tentacles also began to stretch out from the United States to Mexico, Canada and Europe. It was very good to catch up when it was several steps behind Facebook, but Wang Zhengfei seemed to be a failure. Compared with Renren's leading performance in China, Renren.com in the United States is indeed not a success, only occupying the second place. Although it is not overwhelmed by Facebook, it is always right to be at a disadvantage.

But you can't just look at the gains and losses of this moment. After all, the United States is only a part of the Renren plan. The key is to overwhelm Facebook in the next global hegemony, which is serious.

However, Wang Zhengfei soon received a report from Xu Jiahao that Renren said that the development of Han was not smooth.

After participating in "Myth" in Yanjing, Wang Zhengfei returned to his hotel and found that Xu Jiahao ran over in the middle of the night, followed by the beautiful girl president Yang Mengfei.

"Why did you come here in the middle of the night!" Wang Zhengfei was going to change his pajamas and go to bed.

"Wang Dong, we have some problems and want to talk to you!" Xu Jiahao did not call Wang Zhengfei as usual, but said very formally.

"Sit on your own!" Wang Zhengfei said. Come to me so late. Is there something wrong with Renren?"

"The development of Renren is quite smooth now, but it was not very smooth when it was in South Korea!" Xu Jiahao said, "Let Mr. Yang tell you the rest!"

While giving up the opportunity to speak to Yang Mengfei, Yang Mengfei looked at Wang Zhengfei and said, "BOSS, now our Renren has developed smoothly in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The total number of users of Renren has reached 80 million. If you count some users in the United States and Japan and South Korea, then use The number of households has exceeded 100 million!"

Speaking of this, Yang Mengfei's face is also a little excited, 100 million yuan. Now Renren is the only subsidiary of Ruifeng with more than 100 million users, and it is also the registration method of the real-name system. The amount of gold in it is more than twice that of the current uproar.

In the past, the most popular subsidiary of Ruifeng Technology was Renren.com. After all, Renren.com was the old capital of Ruifeng Technology to get rich. Especially at the stage when it just started, it all depended on the development of Renren.com to hold on. However, with the birth of the crooked sky, a series of crooked combinations were all in it. The attention of Renren.com has been slightly reduced, but that does not mean that the development of Renren has slowed down. In fact, under the cover of crooked and high-profile, the development of low-key Renren is quite rapid. This development speed will not be worse than that of crooked and high-profile development. Moreover, now the development of Renren is tentacles. It is mainly aimed at overseas, so many people do not know how many registered users there are on Renren.com. After all, Renren is still a privately held company and is not a listed company, and Ruifeng Technology does not have the obligation to disclose some of their information to the whole society.

And Renren has also passed the time when it needs to high-profile publicity of how many users to prove its existence. At the beginning, Renren is still very weak. In order to attract attention and not to be underestimated, a little achievement has to be publicized, even many times We have to deliberately fake some achievements to publicize it. That is to say, at that time, it was the stage of hitting the swollen face and pretending to be fat, but now it is the opposite. Now Renren is fat enough, and there is no need to hit the swollen face to pretend to be fat. Instead, it should be low-key.

So for the development of Renren.com, domestic people are limited to domestic understanding. Although the domestic part has developed, in fact, although it is still facing the expansion of the saturated SNS market, it is far less than the foreign part, so although it is still improving at a very exaggerated speed, but compared with The crooked and terrible speed of improvement, which seems to be nothing at all.

Therefore, on the contrary, few people noticed the real strength of Renren.com in a low-key way, and more people were robbed of the limelight, just like the Renren blog at that time was also hidden in the limelight of Renren.com.

When he heard this data, Wang Zhengfei was also excited. The number of registered users of 100 million, what a huge number!

After having these 100 million users, Ruifeng is a powerful force that is really enough to be on an equal footing with giants such as Pain News.

Although he often compared Renren.com with giants such as Pain News, and jokingly called a member of the new giant club, Wang Zhengfei knew in his heart that it was all gold on his face. In fact, he could only be regarded as a quasi-member, although his statement as a prospective member is what countless companies hope to achieve. It is a standard and fights for it for a lifetime, but Wang Zhengfei also knows that it could squeeze into the giant club and be on an equal footing with those giants at that time. It is not that Ruifeng Technology had the strength to be on an equal footing with a group of giants at that time, but that Renren had dominated the entire SNS market at that time. Basically, those giants were willing to To communicate with Ruifeng equally, it is just to take a look at the future development potential of Renren.com, and that is only the future. Now this future has finally become a reality. Renren now has 100 million registered users. He has the qualification to talk to a group of giants on an equal footing. Even among the giants, the energy he has It is extremely top-ranked.

With such a large number of users, he is no longer afraid of the advice of the painful news. No matter what, the worst thing is to go up or down, even. Speaking of which, although he doesn't say it, he is still very afraid of the painful news. Even if he has never said it, it's true when I think about it. For Wang Zhengfei, it is a terrible opponent who is completely invincible. It is impossible to say that he is not afraid. In fact, until the development of crooked, it is actually a product of fear of buckle. At that time, he only wanted to protect Renren.com. Because he was afraid of buckle, he launched the opposite stage play. The war burned to the old nest of the buckle. In this way, he believed that the hurried buckle would not have the time to curb the development of other people's network.

Speaking of which, Wang Zhengfei's original goal was just to disturb the footstep of the buckle and not let the buckle to contain him. However, as the crooked development trend became better and better, he gradually changed the goal, and positioned the target as another important subsidiary of Ruifeng, and then finally changed. It has become an instant messaging software that is enough to compete with the painful communication buckle. No one's goal is to get it one step by step. Even if Wang Zhengfei is a reborn person, the first goal is just self-protection.

If the senior management of QQ knows that Wang Zhengfei's purpose of launching the crooked at the beginning is so simple, I don't know if he will look up to the sky and laugh three times and spit blood to death!

However, now Wang Zhengfei has eliminated the last trace of fear in his heart. Not only does Renren have more than 100 million users, but also crooked people have more than 90 million users, which can be said to be completely against the pain.

"But our development in South Korea is not very smooth!" Yang Mengfei said, "According to the chairman's instructions, we have expanded Renren to South Korea three months ago, but unlike Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, we actually don't have too strong opponents in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but we have met two opponents in South Korea. First of all, we are now in South Korea. Although the well-known Saiwo.com has just begun to emerge, it has been recognized by a considerable number of Korean young people. Basically, it is developing like Renren.com a year and a half ago!"

Speaking of this, Yang Mengfei carefully took a look at Wang Zhengfei. I don't know what he thought, and she was a little nervous. Although she made great contributions to pushing the registered users of Renren to 100 million, she also knew that she was just executing the planning project left by Xu Jiahao when he left office. It's just action, and it is said that the source of this plan is this young man who is no more than two years older than himself.

It is impossible to say in my heart that I am not nervous. Whether Wang Zhengfei can recognize that it is very important to her. Whether the plan of Renren's entry to the north is frustrated, will it make Wang Zhengfei underestimate her?

"What about the Japanese side?" Wang Zhengfei asked, Wang Zhengfei's mind was blank. Basically, he didn't know what was going on. In his previous life, the wool-sized place in South Korea was very fierce, but in fact, there were not many things he could handle. In terms of enterprises, Wang Zhengfei's impression was only Samsung and Hyundai are the same. He has no impression of me at all.

But he wants to know if there are any local enterprises on the other side? He still knows something more or less. It is said that South Korea is not Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. There are no strong SNS websites in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but South Korea is different and the economy is more developed. It has been noticed for a long time. It is not surprising that there are such enterprises.

"The company in Japan is a social networking website called MIXI. Its establishment time is about the same as that of Renren.com, and its development level is similar to that of a year ago. According to our survey, this MIXI company has a strict membership policy like us, which is the basis of their success!" Speaking of this, Yang Mengfei took a look at Wang Zhengfei. The company's legend about Wang Zhengfei is everywhere. One of the most important ones is Wang Zhengfei's insistence at the beginning, which made Renren.com retain the rules of real-name registration, and made Renren.com finally enter the fast lane. Both of them have similar ideas, "Add Members of Mixi must be at least 18 years old. In order to ensure that Mixi does not associate with online chat rooms and dating websites that lead to murder cases, MIXI resolutely "deports" troublesome guys and teenagers who are easily deceived. New users of Mixi also need to be invited from current users to maintain the pure surname of MIXI through this series of means..."

Wang Zhengfei felt dizzy as soon as he heard it. The name of MIXI Company is really painful. It's difficult to enter China. No wonder he has never heard of this name in his previous life.

" Well, tell me what's different from us. I don't want to hear those things!" Wang Zhengfei thought for a moment and said.

"If there is any difference, it is to prohibit users from adjusting the design and structure. It is almost impossible for Mixi users to adjust the design and style of the website. Mixi only provides the Japanese version of the content. Mixi prohibits external applications, which is completely opposite to our Renren Network!" Yang Mengfei said that Renren has been under the banner of freedom and DIY since its inception. "The most eye-catching feature is the lack of powerful functions and services. Although it is slightly monotonous, it is simple and easy to use. According to our survey, this measure is very attractive to the initial users."

Then Yang Mengfei said some differences, but Wang Zhengfei filtered in his mind and said, "Now we do not have an advantage in these two areas. Although these two websites are not as fast as our Renren, and their strength is not as strong as ours, I think you can try to find a celebrity endorsement. , carry out a differentiation strategy, and so on. In short, we should try our best to highlight our differences. Don't forget that what everyone's network is basically, that is, it is not the same as others. What we lead is fashion!"

After Wang Zhengfei's little bit, Yang Mengfei's mind suddenly broadened up!
