Chapter 163: Turning Huaguo into a First-Class World Power (Part 2/4)

“I know.” Ma Huateng nodded and said, “I have always attached great importance to this aspect. After all, when I was starting my own business, I often encountered such problems.”

“What’s the situation with Tencent now?” Tang Feng changed the topic.

“They are currently transitioning to making antivirus software. However, because there are too many similar products, it is very difficult to develop a world-class product,” Ma Huateng answered.

“There’s no need to worry about that. In the coming period, I will develop a new antivirus software that will definitely be much more powerful than similar products on the market. By then, the user base of Tencent will surely surge. As for companies with similar products, they will all have to shut down,” Tang Feng said with full confidence.

“Does that mean Tencent will eventually dominate the market?” Ma Huateng’s eyes lit up.

“That’s for sure,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “The internet industry is different from the physical industry. There is no phenomenon of many companies sharing the market. Each niche in the internet industry will eventually be left with one or two companies.”

“But aren’t there three major portal websites now? Even our chat software can be considered half a portal website. Many users also use it to browse various news,” Ma Huateng was somewhat surprised.

“I’m talking about the endgame. Of course, by that day, portal websites will disappear,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“Mr. Tang, you’re not joking, right? Portal websites are so big, how can they disappear? And the user base of portal websites is not less than our chat software. Could all these users disappear?” Ma Huateng was clearly skeptical.

“As I said earlier, the internet industry will eventually be segmented. Many services of portal websites will be split up. By then, portal websites will no longer be necessary,” Tang Feng said lightly.

Ma Huateng did not speak.

Tang Feng’s words had a huge impact on him.

If portal websites really disappeared, then the UU chat software might not be able to rest easy either.

“Mr. Ma, you are now the head of Li feng Network Company. You just need to focus on the chat software! After all, so many users are a gold mine for the company. How much you can mine out depends on your own ability,” Tang Feng said.

“From the current situation, the company’s revenue mainly comes from China Mobile. Wireless value-added services account for about ninety percent of the company’s total revenue. Next, as the number of mobile users continues to increase, the company’s revenue will definitely rise. I plan to try some things on the PC side to increase the user’s recharge rate,” Ma Huateng said.

“Doesn’t the company have U Coins? Strive to open up more links, allowing everyone to use U Coins for consumption. This way, the company’s revenue will definitely increase significantly,” Tang Feng suggested.

“According to the regulations, U Coins can only be used to consume virtual products. Currently, users recharge UU Coins mainly to purchase UU Show, which doesn’t cost too much money. We still need to find ways to increase users’ willingness to consume,” Ma Huateng said, unable to help but sigh.

“That’s simple. You let the technical department develop an upgrade mode, allowing everyone to upgrade by participating in various activities. This way, not only can user stickiness be increased, but also the chances of user consumption,” Tang Feng immediately provided a solution.

Ma Huateng’s eyes lit up!

“Mr. Tang, you are really amazing! I’ll have the technical department get on it right away!” Ma Huateng couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

“I have developed a new online trading system that can be authorized for Li Feng Network Company to use for free. This way, user recharges and such will become very convenient,” Tang Feng said.

“Does this trading system have to be interfaced with banks?” Ma Huateng asked.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “I have already sent people to work on this! It should have results soon.”

“Mr. Tang, I heard you founded a new company. Is this true?” Ma Huateng asked.

“Of course, it’s true,” Tang Feng smiled and said, “I have just founded a new website that deals with online shopping.”

“Online shopping? Can this industry really take off?” Ma Huateng was doubtful. Although eBay had achieved huge success in America, they had reached a very high level in both transaction models and logistics.

Compared to them, China was far behind.

“It can! Definitely! Of course, to develop, relying solely on one website is not enough. What’s needed is multi-faceted cooperation,” Tang Feng said.

“What do you mean by multi-faceted cooperation?” Ma Huateng asked with interest.

“For example, logistics. The efficiency of transportation determines the shopping experience. If it takes ten days to half a month for users to receive something they bought online, I guess users would not use it,” Tang Feng answered.

“That means the logistics industry will also experience rapid development,” Ma Huateng said.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded and said, “At that time, I will also establish or invest in a logistics company to handle this.”

“Mr. Tang, with all due respect, don’t easily get involved in so many industries. I admit you are a genius, but you can’t be proficient in everything,” Ma Huateng offered a friendly reminder.

“Mr. Ma, thank you for your reminder. However, I still want to try. Of course, for me, I prefer to solve problems on a technical level. As for the rest, I will leave it to professionals. For example, Li Feng Network Company is managed by you, and the newly established online shopping company is handed over to someone else. This way, no matter how many companies are established, it won’t take up too much of my time,” Tang Feng explained briefly.

“That sounds not bad. Otherwise, with so many companies and so many businesses, you really can’t take care of everything,” Ma Huateng said.

“Mr. Ma, not to hide from you, I have a lot more to do. I hope to use my talents to quickly improve China’s technological level! I strive to make China a first-class world power in the shortest time,” Tang Feng said, his eyes filled with determination.

He spoke from the heart.

If he hadn’t obtained the system, even if he was reborn, he probably wouldn’t have such dreams!

After all, without the system’s help, relying solely on one’s own power, even if reborn many times, one might not be able to make a contribution that changes the world.

But now that he has the system, he naturally wants to make a groundbreaking career!

Otherwise, he would be wasting such an awesome system!

Ma Huateng was moved after hearing Tang Feng’s words.

For Ma Huateng, it was naturally impossible to have dreams as grand as Tang Feng’s.

He now just wanted to work hard to make the company one of the top internet companies in China.

He felt that achieving this would already be quite a success!

After all, the vast majority of internet companies will eventually fade away!
