The Growth of the Richest Man

Chapter 55: Development Of Renren

Zhang Yong originally wanted to go to the launch of the Hammer mobile phone by himself, but because he is now a star, if he goes to launch the launch, there is a feeling that the celebrity endorses it, it seems that 13 bars will be reduced a lot. But it is different for Lao Luo to open the conference. He was born as a teacher. He has been teaching for many years and his ability to fool people is still very good. If he opens the conference, the effect may even be better than that of Steve Jobs. The original release was even better.

After discussing the specific time of the Hammer mobile phone conference, the two discussed with the staff of various departments of the Hammer, and set it on July 15. The function of the mobile phone can be further improved. In addition, it will take a certain amount of time to invite media reporters. Moreover, this day Still the weekend.

When he heard Luo Yonghao mention that Renren has developed the “Renren” and “Renren Wallet” applications, Zhang Yong also decided to go to Renren Company to see how the current development of Renren is.

However, it takes more than half an hour to drive from Zhongguancun, where the headquarters of Yongchang Group is located, to the Panda Bridge in the northeast of Beijing where Renren is located. A Yongchang Building, which brings all its own industries together, also facilitates the coordination of work.

“Ah, Mr. Zhang Yong, welcome to our Renren Technology Company. Do you have an appointment to come to our company?” A female employee at the front desk of Renren.com saw Zhang Yong come in and hurriedly greeted him. he said.

“Hey, do you know me? I came here without an appointment, but I want to find your general manager Mr. Wang Xing.” Zhang Yong said. The front desk can even recognize him. Could it be that during the training of Renren employees, there will be a special course to introduce themselves?

“That’s it, then I’ll call the general manager’s office to see if Mr. Wang has time now. Mr. Zhang, your role of ‘Lu Ziqiao’ is so handsome. It would be great if you could come to our work as an endorsement. Okay.” The female employee excitedly said to Zhang Yong, her eyes showing admiration.

It turned out to be another fan of mine, and thought she knew I was their boss. Zhang Yong was depressed for a while, “Okay, then you can call them and tell them, just say Zhang Yong is here.”

It didn’t take long for Wang Xing to come over with two people.

“Mr. Zhang, I didn’t expect you to come over in person today without notifying us in advance.” Wang Xing was very surprised when he saw Zhang Yong coming over. Mr. Zhang suddenly came for a surprise inspection because he thought there was something wrong with the company. ?

“I’m here because I just heard from Lao Luo that you have developed ‘Renren Tong’ and ‘Renren Wallet’. I want to see how your side is developing now.” Zhang Yong still explained his intentions first. a bit.

“You are our boss!” The female employee said incredulously.

“Uh, it’s true.” Zhang Yong scratched his head.

“This is Mr. Zhang Yong, the chairman of our Renren Technology Co., Ltd.” Wang Xing introduced to his employees, “Our company’s business has developed rapidly recently, and the number of employees has increased a lot. There are indeed some who do not know President Zhang. Yes.” As long as it’s not a surprise inspection to find a problem, it’s not a big deal if the employee doesn’t know the leader who doesn’t show up all the year round.

“Our company has been transformed into a Renren Technology Company in accordance with your deployment, Mr. Zhang, and a new Renren website has been launched. Now there are nearly one million registered users, almost half of whom are from the old school. Students who have graduated from the Internet. However, the old school intranet is still in existence, and the development is also good. There are nearly 6 million registered users in the organization. Renren focuses on social youth, but it also accepts the registration of campus students, while the intranet is still Retaining its tradition, it is a pure campus social networking website. Now our company is in charge of the two websites by two teams, developing at the same time, and forming an atmosphere of internal competition, and the development is very good now.” Wang Xing said, At first, he only thought that Zhang Yong’s request to transform Renren was just a money-burning behavior, but after doing it, he realized that the market on that side is also very huge.

“The data in the past two months is very good.” Zhang Yong said, “Renren is open to the whole people, and it can follow Facebook and Twitter to become the Facebook of the Chinese people, but the number of registrations is less than 1 million. A little too low. The retention of the intranet is also very important. This year, there are 5.67 million college students in the national enrollment plan, and the total number of college students in the country is tens of millions. In this group, most of them have just left their parents, and their social awareness is not the same. , although the consumption power is not strong, but the awareness of advanced consumption is very strong, having a website for them is still very important for future market development, the registration volume of 6 million is still not large, and we must continue to promote the market.”

Wang Xing said, “Recently, our market development focus has been on Renren.com. Due to the school holiday, the promotion work is temporarily suspended. The development of “www.readwn.com~ Happy Farm” has been completed, and now it has become popular within the company. Now, almost every employee will ‘steal vegetables’, and this game can also be launched together with the hammer phone. The PC desktop version of the ‘Renrentong’ instant messaging software has been completed, which can be accessed through the intranet account or the Renren account. Log in directly, and friends on campus or Renren friends will directly become their ‘Renren Tong’ friends, and now the number of users has reached more than 300,000.”

“More than 300,000… is this figure too low?” Zhang Yong was very dissatisfied with this figure.

“There is no way to do this. The PC-side instant messaging market is almost monopolized by Tengxun. Now we hope to compete with Tengxun on the mobile terminal in the future. By the way, this is the one I recently invited from Tengxun. A friend, his name is Zhang Xiaolong, this ‘Renrentong’ was developed by his team, and now he has been appointed as the ‘Renrentong’ project manager.”

Zhang Xiaolong, why is the name so familiar? Uh, isn’t he the founder of WeChat! This Wang Xing’s friend is really powerful!

Wang Xing continued: “In addition, we and Hammer Technology have also reached a consensus that Renren Technology will develop a mobile payment software that will be used on mobile phones in the future. The ‘Renren Wallet’ has now been developed. It has not been officially released yet, and there are not many usage scenarios, but we have reached an agreement with Wanda Film and Television. After the official launch of ‘Renren Wallet’, you can use ‘Renren Wallet’ to buy their movie tickets directly on the mobile phone; we have also cooperated with Jingcheng The subway company has reached an agreement to buy tickets directly using the ‘Renren Wallet’ mobile phone in the future.”

“I have already told Lao Luo that ‘Renren Tong’ and ‘Renren Wallet’ will be directly pre-installed in the Hammer mobile phone and cannot be uninstalled. I hope you will develop these two softwares well.”
