Chapter 350 Bald photos of the Big Three! Leading the trend, the popularity of smart voice assistants!
The next morning, December 1, Xiaomi released the Xiao Ai software package, which users can download from the Xiaomi App Store.
In just one hour, the number of downloads exceeded 30,000! Some users who wanted to buy the Moss smart speaker but were deterred by the price immediately installed the Xiao Ai app.
Although only one-third of the functions can be used due to equipment and performance limitations, netizens are still having a lot of fun.
Therefore, it’s not that domestic users don’t like smart voice assistants, it’s just that the prices of Orange C3 and Moss smart speakers are too high and they are reluctant to pay for them.
Chen Yansen firmly believes that as long as the material cost is reduced, Orange Technology will be able to launch a 99 yuan smart speaker and easily sell 20 million units a year.
There is nothing that cannot be sold, only a price that cannot be sold.
Although the launch of Xiao Ai has had an impact on the sales of Moss smart speakers, Xiaomi needs to pay a patent commission fee to Orange Technology for every download or installation.
Lei Yijun will make money, but Chen Yansen will never lose money!
Half an hour later, SF Express announced that it would launch 'SF Express Premium' on December 3, officially entering the e-commerce industry.
At the same time, Analysys International released its November group buying market report, and Kuaipao topped the group buying industry's charts for the first time with a monthly turnover of 1.37 billion yuan.
Dianping ranked second with 1.12 billion.
What is surprising is that Meituan’s transaction volume for that month was only 790 million, making it the fourth largest in the industry.
Under the personal supervision of Li Yanhong, Lashou.com used products such as Baidu Maps, search engines and Tieba as the traffic cornerstone, and increased its transaction volume from 650 million to 860 million yuan.
After half a year, Lashou.com has returned to the top three in the market!
Kuaipao's development momentum is getting stronger and stronger, while Meituan is gradually declining. Its food delivery business has not taken off, and it has also failed to maintain its group buying business.
After reading the report, Zhang Tao from Dianping wanted to immediately @Wang Xin on Weibo and mock him harshly.
With this kind of behavior, does Meituan still want to be the big brother? Look in the mirror first!
But he was happy for less than five minutes, and his face darkened. Kuaipao's growth rate was amazing. It only took a few months, and it became the number one? In terms of funding, number of people, technology, and products, Dianping was not as good as Kuaipao.
Meituan is not good enough, but Dianping can’t beat Kuaipao either!
There is also a Lashou website chasing after us!
Maybe next month, Dianping won’t even be able to keep its title as the second largest company in the industry.
On the other hand, after Wang Xin learned that Ali had entered the food delivery industry, coupled with the blow from the group buying business, he became depressed for a while.
Since November is the peak season for e-commerce, the output of the group buying industry would inevitably be affected. He thought that with a transaction volume of 790 million, he would be either first or second, but he never expected it.
Only Meituan experienced negative growth, while Kuaipao and Lashou.com bucked the trend and surpassed the competition.
That afternoon, news of Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu’s wedding was revealed, and LeTV even held a live broadcast for the occasion.
After all, Jia Nailiang is a shareholder of LeTV Pictures. The more users and revenue LeTV has, the higher his income will be.
Chen Yansen sat in his office, his eyes swept across the relevant news, and he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
In 2012, "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" and "doing hair" were still common words, but more than a decade later, they have become so daunting that people can't even look at them.
“Beep-ah-ah!”
Suddenly, the desk phone rang.
Chen Yansen picked up the receiver, and the voice of Tian Tian, the girl at the front desk on the first floor, came from the speaker: "Boss, Mr. Yu from Huawei is here."
"Let Lao Zhou go and receive them. I'll go over later."
Chen Yansen replied.
Yu Chendong came to visit Xucheng just to obtain the patent authorization for the language analysis development tool, so he let Zhou Shouzhi handle it.
"Okay, boss." Tian Tian responded immediately.
Chen Yansen put the microphone back to its place and did not take Yu Chendong's visit seriously.
It wasn't Ren Zhongfei, so there was no need for him to take the initiative to go downstairs to greet him.
When Zhou Shouzhi and Yu Chendong were discussing patent authorization, Wang Xin retorted on Weibo: "The industry report of Analysys Data Network has huge deviations in data."
What this means is that Meituan’s actual transaction volume is far greater than 790 million.
Three minutes later, Zhang Tao, CEO of Dianping, used his personal account to post a message in support of Analysys data: "I don't know about other websites, but Dianping's data is pretty accurate."
In an instant, Meituan and Wang Xin were pushed to the forefront.
Pei Yi saw this and gave a wicked smile, then immediately supported: "Thank you Analysys Data for supporting the group buying industry."
Although it was not pointed out, the authority of iResearch data was acknowledged.
Gong Zhenbing of Lashou.com followed closely behind, saying sarcastically: "When Meituan was number one, the data was accurate, but once it became number four in the industry, the data is no longer accurate!"
Recently, there have been frequent quarrels and fights between the staff of Lashou and Meituan. Gong Zhenbing has a very bad impression of Wang Xin, and he will not miss the good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Netizens are not stupid. Once they were reminded, they immediately understood Wang Xin’s little thoughts. It turned out that he was unwilling to admit his failure.
For users, when using group buying apps, Kuaipao has the best experience. Other products like Meituan, Lashou and Dianping will always encounter various strange things.
Or when you arrive at the offline store, the boss tells you that the cooperation with the group buying website has been cancelled;
Either the location information is fake, and the customer goes over to take a look, only to find out that the store on the website is not there at all.
Users have very little patience, and most people will uninstall the app immediately after experiencing it once.
When it comes to competing in products, services and after-sales service, Meituan, Lashou and Dianping are no match at all.
Because Kuaipao’s middle and senior management not only have to experience the delivery process, but also have to be on duty in the customer service department. They are very familiar with the problems encountered by users and know better how to solve them.
However, Wang Xin, Zhang Tao and others still only dealt with the work emails sent by the customer service department on the surface.
Although the merchant side is strictly controlled, the situation on the user side is not well understood.
To put it bluntly, it's not down to earth.
It was not until dusk fell and the cold moonlight was reflected on the glass windows that Chen Yansen closed his computer, pushed the door and walked out.
Zhou Shouzhi, Ye Qiuping and Yu Chendong were still waiting downstairs. He had to show up at the evening drinking party.
With a ding, the elevator door slowly opened.
As soon as Chen Yansen walked into the lobby on the first floor, he saw Zhou Shouzhi and Yu Chendong walking out of the conference room next to the rest area.
"Mr. Chen, long time no see. You look taller and more handsome now than last time." Yu Chendong took two quick steps and came up to him with a smile.
Chen Yansen had a look of disgust on his face and cursed inwardly: Yu Dazui's flattery is so stiff and blunt, and it's totally unprofessional.
"Mr. Yu just likes to joke. What is the full score?" Chen Yansen held Yu Chendong's hand and teased with a smile.
“It has to be a ten-point system.”
Yu Chendong said with narrowed eyes.
With Huawei's capabilities, it can certainly develop a development system for an intelligent interactive engine, but there are question marks in terms of performance and market performance.
Every profession has its own specialty! Huawei has a strong technical background in the communications industry, but that doesn’t mean it can also develop an excellent product in the field of speech recognition.
In fact, more than a decade later, Huawei launched an intelligent voice assistant called 'Xiaoyi (Xiao E)', but the response was mediocre and it was not even as famous as the 360 intelligent assistant.
"Mr. Yu, it's a rare trip to Xucheng. Tonight is the first show, and there will be a second show tomorrow." Chen Yansen invited enthusiastically.
"Work is important, let's sign the contract first." Yu Chendong said with a grin.
He smiled happily on the surface, but was extremely calm inside.
He saw clearly that Chen Yansen's enthusiasm was superficial and should not be taken seriously.
"Boss, Mr. Yu, please!"
At this time, the driver drove the car to the door, and Zhou Shouzhi raised his hand to signal.
Ye Qiuping received the news and hurried over.
The group divided into four cars, slowly drove out of the Science and Technology Park, and then sped towards the sky garden.
At this moment, Yu Chendong, who was sitting in the car, restrained his smile and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
The doubts in my mind were instantly resolved after talking with Zhou Shouzhi.
Orange Technology's licensing fee standard for language analysis development tools is: a one-time patent usage fee of 20 million yuan, and an additional 2 yuan deduction for each download or installation.
To be honest, the commission rate is not that high.
But the entry fee is 20 million! Regardless of whether Huawei can independently develop the semantic core after obtaining this set of development functions, it must pay 20 million.
Along the way, Yu Chendong was thinking about the strategic significance of smart voice assistants to Huawei mobile phones.
Finally, he thought, it is impossible that 360, NetEase and Ali Cloud phones will have smart voice assistants, but Huawei will not? Equipping mobile phones with smart voice assistants may not be a growth point, but if others have it and I don’t, it will become a disadvantage for Huawei.
Yu Chendong thought that compared with Xiaomi, Huawei was already one step behind, but it couldn't be any slower than Coolpad, Lenovo, ZTE and the like.
At the drinking party, the glasses were clinking and soon everyone's faces were red from drinking.
After thinking it over, Yu Chendong decided at the dinner table to go to Orange Technology’s headquarters tomorrow to sign the authorization agreement.
As for 20 million, it is just a drizzle for Huawei.
Chen Yansen leaned back in his chair with a faint smile on his face, allowing Zhou Shouzhi and Yu Chendong to discuss the details of the cooperation.
Ye Qiuping sat aside, with her soft little hand constantly moving around the edge of Mr. Chen's thigh.
"Behave yourself." Chen Yansen patted Ye Qiuping and warned in a low voice.
Ye Qiuping felt pain, cried out in anger, and subconsciously rubbed her butt.
It was late at night outside the window and the lights were bright, just like Ye Qiuping's watery eyes.
…
…
At 8:30 that evening, a talk show on Mango TV became a hot topic immediately after it was aired.
"Nine out of ten bald men are rich! Why do all the big guys like to shave their heads?"
"Ma Liyun, the head of Alibaba, made his first appearance with a bald head."
"Ma Liyun shaved his head because he saw through the secular world and was preparing to become a monk!"
After seeing the bald photo of Ma Liyun, netizens couldn't hold back their excitement.
A few smart people in the comment section made up a story: "Ma Liyun shaved his head because he lost a bet with Chen Yansen. It is said that when Ali invested in Kuaipao, Chen Yansen said Kuaipao could be the best in the industry, but Ma Liyun didn't believe it! As a result, they used hair as a bet, and whoever lost would have his head shaved."
In fact, when Kuapao accepted financing from Ali, it had not yet started to get involved in the group buying industry. This nonsense does not stand up to scrutiny, but most netizens believed it.
After all, what this person said was very convincing and even involved business cooperation.
"If Chen Yansen loses, I can't even imagine what he'll look like with a shaved head."
"It's definitely better looking than Ma Liyun!"
"Nonsense! Ma Liyun has never been in the appearance race. He won purely by money."
"Brothers, here are the pictures! I photoshopped a bald picture of Mr. Chen, @陈延森陈总, you don't mind, do you?"
"Saved, delete it now! Be careful of the warning letter from Senlian Capital's lawyer!"
Not long after, some curious netizens put the bald photos of Ma Liyun and Chen Yansen together, and the photo became a hot topic.
While Chen Yansen was still socializing, the Weibo server was paralyzed.
The culprit turned out to be a photoshopped photo! Chen Yansen and Ma Liyun looked at each other, both with bald heads, which was very funny.
"Can this thing crash the Weibo server?"
Liu Qiangdong was speechless.
But he was so jealous. Although the two were spoofed by netizens, as the founders of Ali and Pinbei, this wave of hot searches also brought huge traffic to their products.
The handsome boy Dong hesitated, should he follow the trend and shave his head?
But before he could make up his mind, netizens made the decision for him. They secretly took a photo of him, photoshopped it into a bald photo, and put it together with Ma Liyun and Chen Yansen.
When access to Weibo returned to normal, Liu Qiangdong was shocked to find that he and Weidong were also on the hot search list.
The good news is that we finally got this wave of traffic.
The bad news is that some people lied with open eyes and insisted that Liu Qiangdong's bald photos were the ugliest.
Handsome Dong was so angry that he yelled, "Fuck it, is it okay for me to be ranked second?"
…
…
Xucheng, in front of the gate of Sky Garden Hotel.
Chen Yansen and Yu Chendong waved goodbye and then got into the back seat of the Ghost.
"Boss, you're on the hot search." Ye Qiuping bit her lip and tried hard to hold back a smirk.
"Trending? I don't think I posted anything on Weibo today."
Chen Yansen said as he took out his cell phone.
After opening Weibo, the first search term is "bald photos of the three e-commerce giants".
Chen Yansen raised his eyebrows, looked up at Ye Qiuping, and then clicked in.
I saw myself sitting side by side with Ma Liyun and Liu Qiangdong. Everything below the head was normal, but where was my hair?
Chen Yansen had a dark face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Boss, do we need the brand department and the legal department to step in?" Ye Qiuping asked tentatively, covering her mouth with her hands and smiling.
"Forget it. I'm not at a disadvantage. I can still afford to make such a joke."
Chen Yansen decisively rejected Ye Qiuping's proposal.
Ma Liyun and Liu Qiangdong have similar mindsets. Ma shaved his head to celebrate the successful completion of the equity repurchase plan and start over. It also symbolizes the rebirth of Ali Baba.
Don’t miss the traffic that is delivered to your doorstep!
Therefore, when the bald photos of the three people were all over the Internet, netizens did not wait for the lawyer's letter from Pinbei, Ali or Yidong.
In the next few days, the heads of mobile phone manufacturers such as NetEase Ding Lei, OPPO Chen Yongming, Meizu Huang Zhang, Coolpad, and ZTE either communicated online or visited in person. Their purpose was the same: to obtain patent authorization for language analysis development tools.
On December 3, a black Maybach with a Beijing license plate drove into Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, surrounded by two Audis.
Pinbei is located in this shabby place?
Liu Qiangdong rolled down the car window, looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought he had lost too badly.
In terms of technology and talent pool, how can Xucheng compare to Yanjing?
As the car turned at the intersection, he saw Chen Yansen not far away, looking at him with a smile.
