Chapter 467: 3.7 million downloads on the first day! Building factories overseas? You're dreaming!
On the evening of August 18, WeChat’s blocking measures were upgraded.
Directly put the activity links into a small black room. After the user shares it, he can see it, but his friends cannot.
After discovering this, Ma Liyun was so angry that he started cursing.
The next morning, as soon as he arrived at the office, he called Lu Zhaoxi, Zhang Yong and the project leader Chen Hang to a meeting.
"Mr. Ma, LaiWang has been online for two days and has accumulated 8.7 million downloads, 7.4 million registrations, 18.7% next-day retention, and 4.63 million active users yesterday."
Chen Hang simply synchronized the core operating indicators of Laiwang.
"What is the average usage time?" Ma Liyun asked.
"11.4 minutes." Chen Hang replied immediately.
“Retention is too poor and stickiness is insufficient. Think about what hooks can be used to keep users in Laiwang.” Ma Liyun commented.
"I think we can open up the login methods. In addition to logging in with the Taobao account, we also need to add quick login methods such as Zhifubao and Weibo." Lu Zhaoxi said.
Ma Liyun nodded and motioned Chen Hang to write it down.
He thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yong, "Notify all the peach girls to come and go."
How did WeChat rise so quickly?
One is to rely on QQ to divert traffic; the other is to rely on shaking.
If WeChat can do it, then LaiWang can naturally do it too.
While Lao Ma was in the meeting, Chen Yansen was also in the conference room of Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, reviewing Yunzhou's first-day online data with Liang Bo and others.
"Yunzhou had 3.7 million downloads and 3.4 million registrations yesterday. Judging from the verified business information, 70% of them are Pinbei merchants, and the remaining 30% come from online search engines, online advertising and social media promotion." Liang Bo reported.
"Yunzhou is different from Laiwang. Its core users are enterprises. If you can get one company, you can add dozens, hundreds or even thousands of new users. What is the activation rate of corporate ride-hailing and dining services?"
Chen Yansen asked casually.
In fact, his biggest purpose in developing Yunzhou is to solve the problem of enterprise information security. He can't always use external office software, right?
"1.7%." Liang Bo replied truthfully. Just as he was about to explain, Chen Yansen waved his hand and said, "It's good to have a usage rate of 1.7% right after going online. Don't worry, take your time."
He is an extremely patient boss. As long as Liang Bo's operational direction does not deviate, he is willing to give him time.
"Okay, boss. I understand." Liang Bo replied.
"Old Huang, tell Yifeng that from now on, all the communication groups of the business management clerks should be switched to Yunzhou."
Chen Yansen looked at Huang Zheng and said.
"No problem." Huang Zheng, who was sitting on the side and listening, responded immediately.
“Although Yunzhou is a project of Today’s Technology, it is also a key project of the group. I hope you can provide good assistance so that Yunzhou can occupy a place in the field of enterprise office software.”
Chen Yansen glanced from left to right and gave a gentle reminder.
After he finished the meeting, Meng Yun, who followed closely behind him, whispered, "Tesla CEO Musk has arrived and is in the A4 reception room on the second floor."
Chen Yansen nodded and took the elevator to the second floor.
With his wealth and influence in the industry, he certainly doesn't need to greet Musk.
In terms of wealth, Musk is at the same level as Huang Renxun at this time.
Tesla's popularity was lukewarm, with annual sales of less than 20,000 units before the launch of the Model S LR version.
SpaceX can survive only by relying on cargo orders from NASA's International Space Station. It can make money, but not much.
SolarCity, a photovoltaic power generation company, has just been listed for a year and has a market value of approximately US$4 billion, but Musk only holds a 20% stake.
All in all, Musk's net worth does not exceed 1.5 billion US dollars.
Therefore, Musk, along with his assistant, behaved very honestly in the reception room, without showing any impatience.
After all, he knew in his heart that in terms of business strength, there was a huge gap between him and Chen Yansen.
Moreover, since he had to ask for help from others, his attitude became even lower.
He rushed all the way from the Lighthouse Country to Xucheng, changing from a plane to a high-speed train and then to a car. It was not until he saw the wheat fields near the Science and Technology Park that he realized that he had finally reached his destination.
Thanks to Chen Yansen, Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park has become extremely well-known overseas. Several pictures on the official website of Senlian Capital have also let countless foreigners know that the Alexa smart speakers and Orange B1 smart bracelets they use in daily life were born here.
With a "squeak" sound!
A frosted glass door opens from the outside to the inside.
Hearing the noise, Musk subconsciously raised his head, and the moment he saw Chen Yansen, he immediately stood up and walked quickly to meet him.
"Hello, Mr. Chen! Thank you for taking the time to spend with me. I am Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla."
Musk greeted politely with a smile on his face.
While speaking, he secretly observed Chen Yansen.
Consistent with what the Facebook blogger said, the other party was a very young Asian entrepreneur. Judging from his appearance, he was about the same age as a 17 or 18-year-old teenager from the Lighthouse Country. He had a strong build and was at eye level with Chen Yansen, which meant that he was at least 1.85 meters tall.
He wore a royal blue shirt and black trousers. His eyes were indifferent and his demeanor was steady, which was totally inconsistent with his age.
"Elon, please sit down." Chen Yansen smiled lightly and raised his hand to gesture.
After saying that, he sat down first and looked at Musk sitting opposite him.
He was in his early forties, wearing a black suit and a tie tied neatly. He was grinning hard, showing his kindness and sincerity to Chen Yansen.
"Regarding the supply price of Deep Blue 4890 batteries, there is no room for negotiation for the time being. Due to the process problems of lithium-sulfur batteries, the cost remains high. At $400 per kilowatt-hour, I can't make much money at all. To be honest, I actually want to raise the price to $440 or even $460."
Without waiting for Musk to speak, Chen Yansen rejected the other party's first request.
4890 is a cylindrical lithium-sulfur battery developed by DeepBlue Technology. '48' represents the battery's diameter of 48 mm, and '90' represents the battery's length of 90 mm.
Not making money?
Who would believe that!
Musk secretly complained that based on the battery capacity and selling price of the Orange Q1 electric car, he could roughly estimate the cost of the Deep Blue battery, which is at most US$240 per kilowatt-hour, which is the same as Panasonic's 18650 battery.
But he didn't dare to point it out. In North America, although there was no "The Art of Thick Black" and "Zizhi Tongjian", there were books like "Critical Conversations" and "Influence" that specialized in the ways of the world.
However, Musk still overestimated Chen Yansen's conscience.
If the cost of Deep Blue batteries is US$240 per kilowatt-hour, Mr. Chen would definitely dare to sell them for US$600 or US$700.
"Mr. Chen, I understand. In that case, I have a new proposal. Can we build a battery factory near the Lighthouse Country? Tesla will pay for the equipment, and your company only needs to assist in installation, commissioning, and provide raw materials. Leave the tedious daily management affairs to me, and Deep Blue Technology will receive a commission of 160 US dollars per kilowatt-hour."
"The benefits of doing this are, first, saving transportation costs; second, we can work closely with Tesla to develop more powerful power batteries."
Musk asked tentatively.
Chen Yansen smiled. The other party's little thoughts were obvious. He just wanted to deepen the cooperative relationship and then use the order volume as a threat to gradually increase his bargaining power.
In addition, when building factories overseas, who can guarantee that Tesla will not engage in reverse engineering?
Despite the difficulty and the risk of infringement, he knew that Musk was not an honest man.
Once he dares to agree, Tesla will set up a battery research and development laboratory the next day.
