The emergence of WeChat conflicts with the existence of Penguin to a certain extent.
In many functions, the two are actually very similar.
First of all, you can add friends, chat, upload pictures, send links, and even post daily updates.
But one is called space and the other is called circle of friends.
Of course, there are many different places.
Once WeChat goes public, it will inevitably have an impact on Penguin’s existence to a certain extent.
He and Ma Wenteng are quite happy both in their personal relationship and in the cooperation between the two companies.
If WeChat goes public, it will definitely have an impact on the current situation.
But this impact is also limited.
But doing business is inherently competition.
However, although the two conflict, they are not contradictory because their respective main directions are not exactly the same.
Penguin currently focuses on the client, while WeChat focuses on the mobile terminal.
Even in the previous life, Tencent owned these two products at the same time, there was still a clear division of labor, they were also developing very well, and they could still coexist.
So now, Zhang Bin has such a product in advance, he doesn't need to worry about another product, and it will naturally be easier to survive.
Penguin is a tool for communication between friends.
Although WeChat also has such a function, in Zhang Bin's expectation, this is just one of its functions.
The existence of WeChat is more to serve as a model for future intelligent applications. and pioneers.
Zhang Bin is very confident that he can make WeChat a phenomenal application like Penguin, or even more influential than Penguin.
Because he can make WeChat ahead of Penguin in certain technical aspects.
For example, voice recognition systems, wallets, and red envelopes are Zhang Bin's trump card for making WeChat gradually become a part of people's daily lives.
Zhang Bin even wants WeChat to become a must-have for people.
Time represents all possibilities.
WeChat has the experience of Weibo in developing other functions, so there is no big problem, except for the speech recognition system, which is a technology that has not yet determined its direction in China.
The birth of the voice system will inevitably be a heavy blow to the traditional telephone industry.
After all, you can make calls without any phone charges.
Who would bother to make phone calls?
But this is an inevitable development process, and you don’t have to show up just because you don’t want to.
Therefore, the birth of the speech system is even called the greatest invention in the twenty-first century by some people in the scientific community.
Of course, the research and development of speech recognition systems began in the 1950s, but the real technology matured and was applied after entering the 21st century.
Although domestic voice technology started late, it is developing very fast.
Among them, iFlytek's technology is particularly outstanding, and its intelligent voice core technology represents the world's highest level.
In this regard, Zhang Bin asked Dai Zhikang to choose to cooperate with iFlytek.
According to Zhang Bin's temper, it would be best to buy it directly.
But iFlytek is not an ordinary company.
You can’t just buy it.
Its backend is not ordinary.
Not to mention other things, the shareholder behind it knows how deep the background is.
And because this technology has the highest international level of honor, many major national leaders have visited it for inspection, so most people dare not touch it.
Zhang Bin only needs to seek cooperation and doesn't think about anything else.
At present, domestic intelligent applications are only in their infancy, and very few have actually applied these technologies.
Therefore, in order to completely popularize the voice system, it must be promoted.
Cooperation should not be a big problem.
After inspecting the WeChat Business Department, Zhang Bin came to the office and began to read about the construction work of the Yanjing Distribution Building.
The Yanjing branch building has been contracted to Yanjing Longsheng Construction Company for a price of 230 million.
The building has a total of 23 floors, a construction area of 30,000 square meters, an area of 1,600 square meters, and can accommodate 4,000 people working at the same time.

At present, the location of the building has been determined.
Zhang Bin looked at the drawings in the office and briefly discussed it with Dai Zhikang.
The money for building the building was jointly funded by the Weibo Division and the Game Division.
With the current revenue-generating capabilities of the two divisions, this money is nothing to them.
Because Zhang Bin currently spends less and less time in Yanjing, Lu Ziyu's work has become dispensable.
Under Zhang Bin's arrangement, Dai Zhikang transferred Lu Ziyu to the WeChat Business Department and established a marketing department.
Although this department does not play a big role at present, Zhang Bin's investment in WeChat will expand in the future.
The future WeChat business unit will be the epitome of the next Weibo business unit.
After leaving the company, Zhang Bin came to the Yanjing Club.
That night, Li Yi came to find him.
Li Yi expressed concern about Zhang Bin's assassination some time ago.
Of course Zhang Bin said that nothing happened and it was a false alarm.
But of course Li Yi knew that it would not be a false alarm, but the real reason was not understood by outsiders.
"How is it?
How do you feel after getting married?"
Zhang Bin looked at Li Yi and asked.
"It's not bad.
I have an extra responsibility, but I have a home and a place to go when I'm tired," Li Yi said with a smile.
Zhang Bin said: "This is not what you said."
Li Yi said with a smile: "People change.
I might have been young once, but now I can no longer be willful."
Zhang Bin nodded and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Li Yi thought for a while and said: "The domestic investment environment has changed somewhat since this year.
I am planning to transfer some funds to invest abroad, mainly in high-end hotels and luxury goods industries."
Zhang Bin was keenly aware of the unusual meaning and asked: "You decide for yourself."
Li Yi nodded, "Yes, rather than the situation getting worse by then, it is better to think more about yourself while the power in your hands is still there."
Zhang Bin asked: "Do you need my help?"
"Don't worry, I won't hesitate when I really need your help."
Li Yi raised his cup and clinked it with Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin didn't say much.
He could sense that Li Yi was deeply worried.
Being in such a big family, it may be so helpless.
In fact, Li Yi's status is very embarrassing in the Li family.
First of all, as the eldest son of the Li family, his status should be very stable.
But he was alone and had no one to help him.
In addition, they have not entered the system and are only doing business.
For a family like the Li family, the future head of the family must be someone with a high status within the system.
In other words, once other elders of the family take over the Li family in the future, the economic power will inevitably not be under his control, and Li Yi will have nothing by then.
Li Yi had a premonition of his future situation, so he said such words.
While his grandfather is still there, while he still has some power in his hands, he can transfer some funds, at least after he leaves the country in the future.
Stay moisturized.
Zhang Bin feels that although Yu Ling is not as beautiful as Li Yi, Yu Ling is lucky because Yu Ling also has a strong mother who can provide him with a protective umbrella, but Li Yi can only rely on himself for everything.
Although they have been married to the Ning family, political marriage is inherently unreliable.
The Ning family will not offend the Li family for Li Yi.
On the 19th, Zhang Bin came to Baima Company.

At this time, news was everywhere that theaters such as Wanda and Dadi Shinkansen would jointly establish a theater chain.
Zhang Bin understood that they were building momentum.
Zhang Bin met Qiao Zhenliang, and the two talked about this incident.
Qiao Zhenliang has already figured out the details of his opponent.
This alliance is led by Wanda and China Film and Television, and big-name theaters such as Dadi and Shinkansen will join in to establish the Huaxia United Cinemas, aiming to break the strong momentum of the White Horse Alliance and carve up the market, forming a rivalry.
Once the Huaxia United Cinemas is established, it will involve 16 theaters and theater chains, large and small, and the number of screens will reach about 3,000.
This number is not much worse than the White Horse Alliance.
"How did you do it?"
Zhang Bin asked, looking at the information of several theaters.
Among these theaters or theater chains, Wanda and China Movie Star are the most powerful.
Wanda has a large backstage and background, while China Movie Star is the largest state-owned film and television company in the country.
With such a background, the White Horse Alliance cannot compare. of.
The only thing the White Horse Alliance can fight for is scale.
Compared with the soon-to-be-established Huaxia United Cinemas, the White Horse Alliance is more like a civilian counterattack, while the Huaxia United Cinemas is more like a game for the aristocracy.
In the early stage, due to the carelessness of the nobles, the common people had the upper hand.
But now that the nobles have begun to be careful, they may successfully counterattack at any time.
"I have contacted the person in charge of Dadi Cinema, and they said they can join us, but they hope to increase Dadi's screen share to 700 yuan," Qiao Zhenliang said.
After hearing this, Zhang Bin checked the current number of screens in Dadi.
There are only 523 screens in total, including only 58 3D screens.
Such a number actually hopes to be directly increased to 700, which means Give him the current profit of 35 directly.
This is typical of taking advantage of others' misfortune, and they really take themselves seriously.
"How did you answer?"
Zhang Bin asked.
"I refused because the request was too high.
My bottom line was 600 yuan, and I still had to explain it to other shareholders.
After all, the extra screens needed to be produced by everyone, and no one was willing to put their own The screen you invested in is given to others,” Qiao Zhenliang said.
Zhang Bin nodded, stood up and walked to the glass and said: "You are right, but you can't give me even 600 yuan.
Once you start this, others will follow suit.
For the internal stability of the White Horse Alliance, Not a good thing."
"But we can't do nothing," Qiao Zhenliang said.
"Of course not, you can do this."
Zhang Bin smiled and told Qiao Zhenliang a plan.
In fact, it is very simple.
The reason why these nobles unite is simply because they are forced by the situation and have to do this in order to compete with the White Horse Alliance and win the remaining market.
But these people are used to the life of aristocrats.
On the surface, they are united, but in fact, they may not really obey anyone in their hearts.
They are not like the White Horse Alliance.
First of all, Tianyu Cinema occupies an absolute number of screens, which no one can shake.
Secondly, everyone’s goal is to find a place to survive.
Everyone was weak before, but now they unite and become As we become stronger and our voice becomes stronger, everyone will cherish the situation in front of us even more.
Although China United Cinemas has the basis for cooperation, without the sincerity of cooperation, it is destined to be unable to withstand the test.
As long as Zhang Bin casually spreads some false rumors, someone will naturally fan the flames and cause them even greater trouble.
As long as someone starts to cause trouble, China United Cinemas will be too busy taking care of itself for a while and have no time to do anything else.
As long as he is given another two or three months, he can destroy these theater chains in minutes.
By the end of this year, after the initial expansion of the White Horse Alliance, established theater chains such as Wanda and China Film and Television will be completely unable to keep up with them.

"Have you completed the list I gave you last time?"
Zhang Bin asked.
When he left last time, Zhang Bin handed Qiao Zhenliang a movie list.
Above are the movies that will be released within this year.
Zhang Bin screened the top movies at the box office and asked Qiao Zhenliang to contact these distribution companies to screen them as exclusively as possible.
For example, 2012 set off a new era of doomsday disaster.
For example, Transformers 2, a classic movie series, and Autobots Counterattack.
Another example is the Harry Potter movie series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Wait, there are several other movies like this, and Zhang Bin asked Qiao Zhenliang to contact them and try to win them all.
He would rather lower his share a little to get exclusive screening rights.
As long as they monopolize most of the high-quality films by then, the profits of these aristocratic theaters will naturally be greatly reduced.
Once they can no longer survive, someone will always surrender first.
Of course, some films with institutional backgrounds may not be able to compete with theater chains such as Wanda and China Film and Television.
For example, The Founding of the People's Republic of China, these films with strong institutional overtones, how could they be advantageous to outsiders like them?
"I have sent people out to negotiate, and half of the films have obtained exclusive screening rights," Qiao Zhenliang said, "but I have reduced the share to 48."
At present, the share ratio of theater chains is mostly 50, and some may reach 55.
For some high-quality films, the White Horse Alliance charges 53.
Now it has been actively reduced to 48, which is already a big concession.
You know, this could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
"There are a few films that we can make even if the number is lowered to 40," Zhang Bin demanded.
This is not a question of making money or not, but the height of market competition.
But as long as the quality of the video is good, it can usually make money, and it can still make a lot of money.
Excluding all kinds of costs, the net profit from the movie box office can reach at least 15 to 20, so as long as it is not less than 40, they can make a profit.
After talking about this matter, Zhang Bin asked about the recent earnings of the White Horse Alliance.
In the first quarter, White Horse Alliance's box office revenue reached 430 million, which accounted for 75% of the total revenue.
Of the remaining 25%, 15 came from cinema sales, such as drinks and popcorn, such as Speaking of related dolls, the remaining 10 mainly come from membership cards and some advertising revenue.
As more and more people go to movie theaters to watch movies, the proportion of theater revenue from sales will expand, while the proportion of advertising revenue will narrow.
However, with the advent of the smart era in the future, online ticket purchasing will become a common phenomenon, and the price of movie tickets will also plummet.
Although the profit per unit has decreased, it cannot support the large volume, and in the future, the most profitable thing for theater chains will be selling products.
In the following time, Zhang Bin met with two shareholders and calmed down everyone's nervousness about the establishment of China United Cinemas.
As Zhang Bin is the chairman of the White Horse Alliance, with him here, everyone will naturally feel more at ease.
So after learning that Zhang Bin came to personally preside over this matter, the shareholders seemed much calmer.
The White Horse Alliance's methods have just begun
