Chapter 132 Masturbation

Yang Huan’s arrival caused the entire WeChat headquarters building to boil.

Although Yang Huan had mentioned many times before that everyone in the company, from him as the boss to the cleaning lady, had equal status, he still couldn't stop Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin from coming out to greet him.

Seeing Yang Huan get off the Jaguar, they both shouted in unison, "Hello, Master Huan!"

"Hello everyone!" Yang Huan raised his right hand and greeted.

"Master Huan!" Zhu Liangcheng came forward immediately. "When we heard you were coming, we all wanted to come out to greet you, but we were worried about missing work, so we decided to send two of us to represent you."

"Really?" Yang Huan smiled, but he didn't quite believe it in his heart.

"Then I will come here every day from now on!"

"Ah?" Zhu Liangcheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Yang Huan's status in WeChat is beyond doubt, but if they have to greet him at the door every day, then...

Seeing their expressions, Yang Huan felt happy.

"Don't do these messy things in the future. I'm not interested in flattery!"

After saying that, Yang Huan walked into the office building.

Zhu Liangcheng exchanged glances with Wang Lin from behind.

These two guys were both feeling depressed. Didn't they all say that Young Master Huan loved being flattered the most?

After thinking about it in his mind, Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin quickly followed Yang Huan.

Although WeChat has moved offices, its office style remains the same as before. Everyone, from department heads and project leaders to the most ordinary employees who have just joined the company, works together.

Yang Huan walked into the huge office, where employees were gathering in groups of three or four.

As soon as they saw him, I don’t know who reacted first, but then everyone stood up.

"Hello, Young Master Huan!" The shouts came one after another, not in unison.

"Hello everyone!" Yang Huan looked at Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin, his eyes seemed to ask, did you arrange this?

Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin felt so aggrieved that they immediately shook their heads like rattles.

"I'll treat you all tonight, let's have dinner at Wangjiang Pavilion!"

When Yang Huan shouted like this, the whole audience cheered in unison.

Wangjiang Pavilion is a Michelin three-star restaurant, a high-end restaurant where the average consumption per person is around 100 pounds.

"Master Huan is so kind, he is always generous and magnanimous when he makes a move."

"Yes, we often invite guests to dinner. Wangjiang Pavilion is almost becoming our company's cafeteria."

"The food at Wangjiang Pavilion is really delicious. I really like Chinese food now."

"Then hurry up and finish this project, and you can enjoy your lunch at noon!"

"Okay, do it, do it!"

There was a lot of discussion outside, and Yang Huan took Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin into the office.

Ryugo and Horikita Maki were sitting in the corner of the office.

The meetings of WeChat’s top management have little to do with them, and they don’t even understand a lot of things.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yang Huan sat down behind the desk with a majestic look.

He knew clearly in his heart that Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin, two guys who would not do anything without profit, must have something to ask for.

Otherwise, with their tempers, it would be impossible for them to do so.

"Actually, it's nothing." Zhu Liangcheng said with a smile.

"Really nothing?"

Wang Lin nodded vigorously, "It's really nothing serious!"

"Oh." Yang Huan understood, "It's no big deal, it's just a small matter, don't bother me with small matters, let's go!"

After saying that, he actually stood up.

This gave Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin on the opposite side a big scare.

After waiting so long, we finally got this young master back. How could he leave without even discussing anything?

"No, no, no, Master Huan!" Zhu Liangcheng quickly blocked the road.

He and Wang Lin blocked the passages on both sides of the desk, one on the left and one on the right.

Yang Huan pointed at the two pretentious guys and sat down again. "Okay, let's get to the point. I don't have that much time."

Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin looked at each other again, and the latter encouraged the former to speak.

"Master Huan, actually, there is something going on." Zhu Liangcheng walked to the opposite side of Yang Huan again.

"But, for you, old man..."

"You are the old man, your whole family is old men!" Yang Huan interrupted him suddenly and retorted.

Zhu Liangcheng was stunned and smiled bitterly.

That’s right, Young Master Huan is only twenty years old, how can he be considered an old man?

"Yes, yes, I am the old man."

"Be direct and straightforward, and stop talking so much nonsense." Yang Huan felt that there was something wrong with this kid.

Zhu Liangcheng chuckled flatteringly, "Master Huan, there is something that is only a small matter to you, but it is a big matter to us, so we want to discuss it with you."

"Go ahead."

Zhu Liangcheng thought for a moment and said, "It's like this. You know, our company's current organization is still quite chaotic. Generally speaking, it is composed of several project departments, including WeChat, games, wrapp, and the newly established Read After Message."

"Yes, what's the problem?" Yang Huan frowned and asked with concern.

This is most of his current wealth and he cannot afford to lose it.

"Several projects of the company are developing very well. The growth momentum of WeChat users is very strong. After the number of global users exceeded 200 million, we have set the annual target for 2011 at 300 million."

Judging from the total number of registered users alone, there are indeed a lot of them, but because WeChat itself is an application that can be downloaded and registered without any fee, the value of registered users is not very high. The key lies in the user's level of activity.

That is, the number of users who use WeChat at least once a day, week, and month.

Currently, WeChat is the industry leader. With WhatsApp's development in decline, WeChat's biggest enemy is no longer its rivals, but itself. Therefore, the strategy Yang Huan formulated for WeChat was to insist on walking on two "legs".

One is to continue to steadily develop new markets and new users and seize some emerging markets.

Another one is to retain existing users to the maximum extent and increase user activity.

Since the launch of the "People Nearby" feature, WeChat has attracted a group of new users and greatly increased user activity.

"Just get to the point!" Yang Huan vaguely guessed what Zhu Liangcheng was going to say.

Zhu Liangcheng gritted his teeth and said, "Master Huan, we don't have any income now, but our monthly expenditure on servers is as high as 5 million pounds. Add to that wrapping and self-destructing reading, and we are basically burning money all the time."

As the CEO of WeChat, Zhu Liangcheng also felt tremendous pressure from this situation.

The servers alone cost five million pounds a month, and the employee costs and other expenses are an astronomical figure, at least over 100 million pounds a year.

But the problem is that so far, WeChat has not generated even a tiny bit of revenue.

As WeChat launches more and more features, the number of active users is increasing, and server spending is also increasing.

If we can’t solve the income problem, do we have to keep burning money?

"There are many venture capital companies that are very interested in us. Silicon Valley has valued WeChat at more than 500 million pounds, Wrap at more than 30 million pounds, and the game department at more than 100 million pounds. I think we should consider introducing venture capital."

"Impossible!" Yang Huan rejected Zhu Liangcheng's proposal almost without hesitation.

Introducing venture capital is certainly very tempting, but others will not be so foolish as to give you money to spend.

At the very least, by then Yang Huan will no longer be able to use his advantage as a time traveler to guide the development of WeChat as he does now.

Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin looked at each other again, neither of them was surprised, because if they agreed, then he would not be the Young Master Huan they knew.

“Then, if not, you have to generate income.”

Yang Huan glanced at Zhu Liangcheng and realized that this was what he wanted to say.

"Master Huan, Apple's December bill is out. The revenue from our two games, Cut the Rope and Temple Run, has doubled again on the Apple official store. After deducting Apple's share, the total revenue has reached 10 million pounds."

"Oh?" Yang Huan was delighted when he heard this. Ten million pounds?

If he remembered correctly, it was around £4 million in November.

That is to say, from September to December, the income doubled almost every month.

But soon, Yang Huan pointed at Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin and asked with a smile: "Old Pig, you guys are not planning to swallow up the game department, are you?"

Zhu Liangcheng immediately cried, "Master Huan, I would like to, but they look down on us."

Yang Huan laughed out loud when he heard this. The game department is not inferior to WeChat now. On the contrary, WeChat still relies on games for its survival.

Wang Lin also had a bitter smile on his face. "Master Huan, Lao Zhu and I both think that it is not a good idea to continue like this. We should simply separate the game department and some other projects, set up an independent company, and give us some freedom and authority."

"What do you mean?" Yang Huan was quite interested.

He is interested in anything that can make money.

"The mood stamps you mentioned earlier have received very good responses from users. We plan to launch a batch of paid mood stamps."

When Cut the Rope was first released, the cartoon character Psy was offered as an in-app purchase. So far, this in-app purchase alone has brought Cut the Rope more than three million pounds in revenue.

WeChat now has more than 200 million users, which is definitely a huge potential market.

“In addition, we plan to launch a gaming platform.”

"So what you guys are doing is masturbating after all." Yang Huan said with some amusement.

"Masturbating?" Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin were both surprised.

Obviously, they all had the wrong idea.

Yang Huan laughed, "It's a very simple vertical mobile game. As long as you have a mobile phone that can download and install WeChat, you can play it. It's a bit like the Proud Eagle, but the graphics and gameplay are much simpler than that. No matter whether you are male or female, young or old, as long as you have a good IQ, you can easily get started."

"Oh." Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin finally understood.

But soon, they all revealed expressions of admiration.

Everyone says that Young Master Huan is extremely smart. As soon as I mentioned it, he immediately came up with such an idea. It's amazing.

"Well, if you want to play the game of masturbation, you must also play the games of Tiantian Lianmeng, Tiantian Ai Chulian, Tiantian Ku Pao, Tiantian Feiche and so on."

Since I have already plagiarized one, I don’t care about plagiarizing a few more.

Yang Huan thought to himself that the positioning of the WeChat game platform should be neutral, and it will be gradually opened up in the future to attract third-party game developers to join.

It's not even just the gaming platform. When the time is right, mood stamps can also be opened to third parties, allowing users to draw their own mood stamps, sell them on the platform, and then get a share of the profits from the WeChat platform.

"Your idea is good. I think it's feasible. Please discuss it carefully and give me a plan."

Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin did not expect that Yang Huan would agree so easily, and they were immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, Master Huan, we'll get it done in the next two days."

WeChat can be said to be one of the earliest projects established, but during this period, with the booming game department, especially the hot sales of the two games, they have felt heavy pressure.

Now that Yang Huan agreed, they can let go and do a great job.

"By the way, how is the read-and-burn policy going?" Yang Huan looked at the technical expert Wang Lin with concern.

When it comes to "burn after reading", both Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin feel a little embarrassed.

As soon as everyone heard this idea, they knew that Master Huan decided to create this app for the purpose of picking up girls.

Everyone in the company admires Yang Huan and believes that as long as Young Master Huan focuses on his work, WeChat will be able to develop better than it is now.

Master Ke Huan is smart, but his biggest flaw is that he is a playboy.

"Hey, you two guys, what's with that expression on your face?" Yang Huan noticed something strange on their faces.
