Chapter 27. Ma Xiaoyun’s News
He was still too young!
His mind couldn’t keep up with Mr. Mo’s speed of thought.
When he heard about “girls accompanying chats,”
His first instinct was to think of female employees.
That wasn’t necessarily the case.
He pretended to be a beautiful girl, calling users “big brother” every day?
He was actually a man.
After all, behind the screen…
No one could recognize him.
As this thought struck him…
Ma Tengyun suddenly saw the light.
Zeng Liqing also seriously noted down this method.
“Alright, we’ll arrange this soon!”
“We’ll set up a short-term chat companion department.”
“Then, we’ll pose as girls and chat with users.”
“This way… we can enhance the customer experience.”
Xu Chenye chimed in, “I’ll register a female account as soon as I get back.”
The other four also decided to create female accounts and start accompanying chats.
This was for the growth of Tencent.
“Now, let’s move on to the fourth point.”
Immediately silenced the room.
The first three ideas alone could significantly boost Tencent’s user engagement.
The last two, as the grand finale,
Would undoubtedly be even more astonishing!
“Have you ever considered this problem?”
“Many people find communication troublesome.”
“Because they can’t all connect at the same time.”
“So… we can introduce a group chat feature.”
“Group chat means bringing together a dozen, or even a hundred, users.”
“Everyone gets added to one group.”
“When one person speaks, all members in the group can see it.”
“Then, everyone can discuss a topic together.”
“This enables multi-person chatting.”
The Five Tigers’ excitement and amazement ignited.
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!”
Ma Tengyun repeatedly slammed the table.
“Exactly! If everyone can discuss together, it’ll be so much more lively!”
“There are so many situations where groups would be useful!”
“For example, if people share the same interest…”
“They can form a group and chat nonstop!”
Zeng Liqing was equally thrilled.
“Absolutely… Just think about it.”
“Once the group feature launches…”
“It’ll quickly dominate schools and companies!”
“For instance, if a class wants to organize an event…”
“Or if a teacher needs to make an announcement…”
“Wouldn’t a group make it so much easier?”
“Same for companies assigning tasks.”
“Just gather the department in one group…”
“And notifications can be sent instantly, eliminating so much hassle!”
“Let me put it this way—”
“If we develop the group feature…”
“Schools and businesses will actively promote it for us!”
“This is the real game-changer—the ultimate weapon!”
The Five Tigers were…
And Mr. Mo still had…
One more such weapon up his sleeve!
Chen Yidan added, “Our department has over forty employees.”
“If we add them all to a group…”
“Then… issuing notifications would be so much easier.”
“This is truly a revolutionary breakthrough!”
“These four ideas alone can elevate Tencent’s engagement by leaps and bounds!”
“And in a very short time, they’ll massively expand our user base!”
Li Mo looked at the Five Tigers.
He continued, “Exactly. In any era, marketing is just a supplement.”
“The key factor for a product’s long-term success…”
“Is undeniably its core competitiveness.”
“Once Tencent’s core strengths are enhanced…”
“Users will spread the word for us.”
Everyone felt as if they had discovered a new world.
Su Qingyan sat beside Li Mo.
Just how brilliant was Li Mo?
To single-handedly propose five groundbreaking ideas that even elite graduates couldn’t conceive!
Made everyone prick up their ears.
These god-tier innovations kept coming one after another.
They felt Tencent’s success was just around the corner!
Hearing Li Mo mention the concept of “Space,”
The Five Tigers exchanged puzzled glances.
They had genuinely never heard of it before.
Su Qingyan asked curiously.
“Space is essentially a personal webpage for each user.”
“Every QQ account can activate its own Space.”
“In their Space, users can post their thoughts…”
“Their moods, or current reflections—sharing them with many people at once.”
“Anyone visiting the Space can see these posts…”
“And interact through comments.”
“Users can also upload photo albums in their Space.”
“Documenting their daily lives.”
“The Space homepage can display visit counts and recent visitors.”
“Every trace is preserved.”
The Five Tigers were electrified again.
Mr. Mo’s ideas just kept coming!
“Countless users will record their statuses!”
“Combined with the stranger chat feature…”
“They can share their moods with both acquaintances and strangers!”
“We can pose as girls and like or comment on their posts!”
“That way… they’ll post even more actively!”
“These five strategies can all work together!”
Li Mo looked at Ma Tengyun, who was speaking enthusiastically.
He praised, “Xiao Ma’s got the right idea—thinking beyond the basics.”
“Those pretending to be girls can also like and comment on users’ Spaces.”
“Gradually, QQ will become an indispensable part of their online lives!”
The team was now brimming with motivation.
“Mr. Mo, we’ll get to work!”
Zeng Liqing couldn’t wait to implement the plans.
Zhang Zhidong and the others also bid farewell to Li Mo and hurried off to make arrangements.
Ma Tengyun, still glowing from Li Mo’s praise, hesitated before speaking again.
“Oh… Mr. Mo, there’s something else I need to tell you.”
Li Mo knew that if Ma Tengyun brought it up, it must be important.
“Do you know Ma Xiaoyun?”
“Not long ago, Ma Xiaoyun secured a $5 million investment from Goldman Sachs in the U.S.”
“Now, Alibaba’s growth is exploding.”
Ma Tengyun added, “Rumor has it many venture capitalists and angel investors want to back him.”
“I’ve met him before—we crossed paths in Hangzhou.”
“We’re somewhat friends…”
“He’s coming to Shenzhen on business soon and wants to visit our company to meet you.”
