Chapter 264: Teacher's Encouragement

The night is as quiet as ink-stained silk.

Master Liu woke up slowly from her deep sleep, and with sleepy eyes, she subconsciously leaned towards her side.

But my fingertips only felt the cold sheets. I turned my head to look at the pillow, but there was no one beside me.

My heart suddenly tightened, and my sleepiness instantly disappeared: "Yi Yi, where are you?"

Not getting a response, Liu Shishi quickly got up and went to look for her fiancé.

The slippers rubbed gently on the floor, making a slight sound, and walked towards the balcony step by step.

Following the faint moonlight, Miss Liu saw Song Ci standing quietly on the balcony with an upright posture. In the quiet night, he was looking up at the boundless starry sky alone. She didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt a little lonely.

She walked over gently, hugged her fiancé from behind, and said in a very gentle voice, like a cool summer breeze: "Yi Yi, what's wrong? You're still not asleep so late, are you worried about the WeChat launch?"

She knew this man too well. He must be worried about something when he looked like this.

Song Ci's body stiffened slightly, then he sighed softly, turned around, and hugged Miss Liu in his arms.

"WeChat will be launched in a few days, but I am still hesitant about some things."

Liu Shishi snuggled in her fiancé's arms and whispered, "Honey, tell me about it! Although I don't know much about business.

But I am the one who will spend the rest of your life with you, and I hope you can talk to me when you encounter difficulties and troubles, instead of keeping everything in your heart."

Song Ci nodded his chin. He was indeed a little anxious recently. Even rebirth would not help him at all with what he was facing now. The future was just a matter of thought.

It would be nice to chat with my childhood sweetheart, maybe it can help relieve the stress in my heart.

"Shishi, I'm wondering whether WeChat should be launched globally." Song Ci spoke slowly, expressing the confusion in his heart.

“What difficulties are there in launching WeChat globally? Is it because of different languages ​​in different countries?”

Song Ci sighed: "Language and cultural differences are only one aspect. This is actually not a big problem. It's just a language translation. I am confident that I can localize WeChat well.

With the global launch of WeChat, Tenda is facing international giants. The competition will be even more intense in the future, and these opponents may use every possible means.

In addition, the company may face data privacy scrutiny from overseas countries and even geopolitical security risks.”

Liu Shishi thought: "Local protection policy?"

"Yes." Song Ci smiled and nodded. His fiancée's description was very apt.

Liu Shishi didn't want Song Ci to bear too much pressure, so she advised him, "Then don't go overseas. We don't have to bother dealing with foreigners. The domestic market is so big, it's enough for Tengda Group to be the number one in China."

As soon as he finished speaking, Miss Liu saw that Song Ci was hesitant to speak and looked unwilling. Suddenly, she understood what her fiancé was thinking. He definitely wanted WeChat to go overseas, but he had many concerns in his heart.

"Song Ci, look into my eyes!" Liu Shishi looked serious and looked up at the deep eyes of her childhood sweetheart.

Upon hearing this, Song Ci looked into his fiancée's eyes and saw his own figure clearly in the depths of her bright eyes. That figure was wrapped in love, with a bit of confusion and hesitation.

Liu Shishi's eyes were blazing, and her words were full of excitement, which was particularly inspiring in the quiet night:

"Yi Yi, what you see in my eyes is tenderness and love, because I am just a little woman, and my heart and eyes are filled with you.

But what I see in your eyes is the sea of ​​stars and the infinite future. You must want WeChat to be launched globally. What makes you hesitate and unable to sleep at night?

Are you still the Song Yiyi I know, the calm and confident Song Yiyi who keeps moving forward courageously and who can’t be stopped by any difficulties? "

Every word his fiancée said was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart. Song Ci looked at Miss Liu's eyes full of encouragement and trust, and felt dazed. Yes, why was he so hesitant?

Are they afraid that Tencent will not be able to compete with well-known foreign giants such as Facebook and Microsoft? Or are they afraid that after launching WeChat overseas, they will invest huge amounts of money but end up with nothing? Or are they afraid of possible political factors in the future?

Or was it because before his rebirth, China had never had a multinational social networking giant, and there was no precedent to follow, so at this moment he was timid and dared not take this crucial step?

Song Ci asked himself, maybe it's both! He couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turns out that everyone has the fear of difficulties. Maybe subconsciously, he thought it would be good to be a rich man in China, and forgot his former ambitions.

Liu Shishi slightly raised her head and kissed Song Ci softly on the face. Her tone was firm, like spring breeze and rain, nourishing her heart:

"Dear, life is always about moving forward. Opportunities are always accompanied by risks. It is precisely because of challenges that our lives are more meaningful.

Your knowledge and strategies must be far superior to mine, but maybe it's because you think too much that you are troubled. Sometimes people can't think too much when doing things, they need a burst of momentum.

Song Ci, I have made the decision for you. Let’s try to launch WeChat globally. If you don’t try, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

I believe that with your wisdom and hard work, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, you can overcome them one by one.

WeChat carries your dreams and hard work, so it should not be constrained and should fly to a wider world. Even if there are problems in the future, we will face them together and bear them together, okay? "

After that, she added jokingly, "Even if the worst happens in the future and Tengda Group goes bankrupt, I will support you and allow you to live a life of luxury for the rest of your life."

The witty words instantly made the originally solemn atmosphere a little more relaxed.

As Song Ci listened to Liu Shishi's philosophical and encouraging words, his eyes gradually regained their former brilliance and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated.

I held my fiancée's soft, boneless hand tightly, as if holding the strength to move forward, and a warm current surged through my body.

I secretly swore in my heart that I had been reborn, so there was no need to hesitate. No matter how difficult the future might be, I would move forward with Shishi's support and love.

At this moment, Song Ci no longer had any doubts in his heart. The Chinese may be able to build a multinational social giant. In his previous life, TikTok was able to successfully go overseas and deal with the American officials for several years. He had greater opportunities and advantages in his rebirth. Why not!

"Wait!" Song Ci was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something, and whispered to himself: "TikTok!"

"What did you say dear, I didn't hear you?"

Song Ci suddenly understood and waved his fists excitedly: "Yes! TikTok! I can also create an overseas version. It will be WeChat in China and WeChat overseas. I can take two paths."

Seeing her fiancé suddenly dancing with joy, Liu Shishi couldn't help but feel a little worried. Wasn't he going crazy due to too much pressure? "Yiyi, are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Song Ci held up Miss Liu's delicate face and kissed her fiercely, with a look of joy on his face: "Shishi, you are really my lucky star! My wife Shishi is very virtuous!"

Although Liu Shishi didn't understand why her little brother suddenly figured it out, she shared the same mind as Song Ci and his wife. Seeing her lover so excited, her mood also became cheerful. Her eyebrows were curved, and she smiled sweetly. The smile on her lips was more dazzling than the stars in the night sky.

"Shishi, go back to your room and sleep first. I'll go to the study." Song Ci took Miss Liu's arm and walked into the house.

When Liu Shishi heard this, her pretty face, which was originally full of smiles, immediately changed color, her eyes widened, and she angrily said:

"Song Yiyi, are you done yet? You're not sleeping in the balcony in the middle of the night and pretending to be deep, and you still want me to comfort you! I finally persuaded you, but you're not sleeping now. Are you going to the study to work?"

Seeing Miss Liu with her hands on her hips, showing off her feminine power, cute but with a hint of anger, Song Ci laughed awkwardly, "Didn't you just figure it out and you're so excited you can't sleep?"

Miss Liu bit her lip, her eyes were as charming as silk, her eyes were full of affection and seemed to be able to drip water, she leaned close to her fiancé's ear, her breath was as sweet as orchid, her voice was soft and very seductive:

"Can't sleep? Then pay up! Song Yiyi, count it yourself. You've been working overtime on this crappy WeChat recently. How many days have you not touched me?"

"Well, just to thank you for your advice, I'll give you a big red envelope later."

Liu Shishi looked puzzled: "You are giving me a big red envelope at this late hour! How big is it?"

Song Ci leaned close to his fiancée's ear and gently bit her crystal clear and round earlobe. The intimate action made Miss Liu tremble all over: "I'll give you several hundred million at once!"

Liu Shishi reacted immediately, her cheeks flushed: "Song Yiyi, you are really getting worse and worse! Ah!"

Before Miss Liu could finish, Song Ci picked her up by the waist, hugged her tightly and said, "My dear, I will give you the grain right away!"

July 1, 2009, was a day destined to be extraordinary in the development history of Tengda Group.

After countless days and nights of careful preparation, WeChat version 1.0 and the overseas version of WeChat were launched in 14 languages ​​and 38 countries and regions including China, quietly starting a journey of transformation in the social field.

Tenda Group was extremely cautious this time. In order to prevent competitors from prematurely discovering the company's strategic intention to enter the instant messaging field, it did not carry out extensive publicity for the launch and operation of WeChat.

Trying to paralyze the opponent and buy this highly anticipated app some precious growth time without any competitors.

Therefore, WeChat and Wechat were just quietly launched on the Android and Apple mobile phone stores, just like two seeds that were quietly planted, quietly waiting for them to take root and sprout, and grow step by step into towering trees.

In the chairman's office, the afternoon sun shines in through the window.

After a busy morning preparing for the launch of WeChat, Song Ci lazily leaned back in his chair, looking at Zhang Yong and Wang Jing in front of him, and said to his right-hand men:

"I can finally take a breath. After WeChat has grown for a while and has a certain user base, the company will come up with some promotional measures."

Zhang Yong nodded slightly: "Mr. Song, WeChat is now on the right track, you should also unload the burden, and consider the candidate for the president of this department, who will be responsible for the daily operation and management of WeChat business, and you can also free up your energy to focus on the more macro development of the group."

"WeChat is crucial to the future of the group. Let me think about the president again."

"I don't mean to rush you, but the group's affairs are complicated and I'm afraid you can't handle it."

Song Ci waved his hand and said, "Let's discuss this later. The company is not promoting WeChat vigorously at the moment, but TT Mobile Security Guard is OK. Weibo and Toutiao's flash screen are recommended."

Also launched simultaneously with WeChat is a free app called tt Mobile Security Guard, which is mainly prepared by Tenda Group for Android phone users.

As we all know, Google's Android system is not perfect enough at present. Android phones will become stuck after being used for a period of time, and the system will accumulate a large amount of junk files, seriously affecting the user experience.

Tenda's tt Security Guard app can be said to be good news for Android phone users. It can quickly clean up junk files, effectively improve the operating efficiency of the phone system, and run smoothly without lags.

Of course, free is a strategy. After all, free is the most expensive. When Android phone users habitually rely on using tt Security Guard, the value of this app can be reflected.

"Don't worry, everything is going on in an orderly manner."

Song Ci nodded slightly: "Let me tell you something, next year our bet agreement with ICBC Capital and BOC Capital will be fulfilled, and we will start the second round of financing.

Before that, I will reorganize the group, as the current operating model is becoming increasingly unmanageable.”

"That's true. Comrades in the middle and back office also feel that the company's operating efficiency is declining."

Wang Jing deeply agrees with this. As the group's business continues to expand and the number of products increases, the original Tengda model of one product and one business department has gradually exposed its drawbacks. The overly flat structure has put a lot of pressure on the middle and back-end staff.

Zhang Yong also agreed: "The company should be reorganized for the second time. The establishment of the business department was a stopgap measure. The scale of the group has now expanded by more than a hundred times compared to when it was first established in 2004."

Seeing that the CEO and COO of the group all felt the same way, Song Ci felt that the company reorganization was imperative: "I am here to say hello to you today. I plan to start the reorganization in January next year.

It is expected to be completed in half a year, and financing will start in the second half of the year. The main task of the group this year is to complete the mobile launch of all products and smoothly connect them with the PC side. "

Zhang Yong quickly reported: "Mr. Song, according to the original plan, the Qianqian Music app will be launched in August, followed by TT Video Network in September. We will advance in sequence to ensure efficient and non-overlapping traffic recommendations, and all products can be successfully mobileized by the end of the year."

"Just don't make any mistakes. Tenda's products are the best in the PC industry. As long as we don't mess up, other companies will basically have no chance of catching up."

After giving the instructions, Song Ci calculated the date: "Today is July 1st, which is Wednesday. The group's mid-year meeting for this year will be scheduled for the 15th of next week.

If the meeting is finished early, many executives can rest assured to take their annual leave. I have been very busy recently and I also need to relax and rest for a while. "

Wang Jing quickly responded: "I understand. I will notify everyone and ask the heads of each department and subsidiary to make time in advance to attend the meeting on time."

After talking about work, Zhang Yong and Wang Jing were about to say goodbye, and Song Ci smiled at them and said, “By the way, the company’s plane will arrive in a few days, let’s go and take a look together another day.
