Can horses immigrate?

Now, if you had to leave only one App in your phone, which one would you choose?

I believe that most people will choose to stay: WeChat!

Tencent's financial report shows that the number of global users of WeChat has exceeded1241600 million. Of course, most of them are in China, which means that except for the elderly and children who can't use mobile phones, this green icon is indispensable to every mobile phone user's mobile phone.

Back to 20 1 1 years ago, Zhang Xiaolong, who was in charge of QQ mailbox in Guangzhou at that time, saw a mobile social App called Kik, and the data was very gratifying, so he sent an email to Ma overnight, saying that he would develop a mobile social App, and Ma quickly replied to express his support.

So wechat was born. It only took 433 days, and the number of users exceeded 654.38 billion, which helped Tencent get the number one mobile Internet. Today, Tencent's market value exceeds 700 billion US dollars. It can be said that half of it is supported by WeChat!

But few people know that after graduating from Zhang Xiaolong University, a person wrote more than 70,000 pieces of code and created Foxmail, a mailbox product that everyone praised. In a short time, the number of users exceeded 2 million, but it was free and did not bring any income.

Even People's Daily reported Zhang Xiaolong at that time, calling him a "tragic figure" of free software, because Zhang Xiaolong was writing software on an empty stomach.

All because of Zhang Xiaolong's idealism. He doesn't want to add advertisements to Foxmail!

It is worth mentioning that Foxmail was almost acquired by Jinshan Software of Lei Jun, but because Lei Jun had something to do, the person sent to negotiate the acquisition said that the software could be developed in a few months, but Zhang Xiaolong refused.

Later, Foxmail was acquired by Boda Internet Company and spent120,000. Later, in 2005, Tencent chose to acquire Foxmail, and Zhang Xiaolong became a member of Tencent.

On the other hand, do you know that Zhang Xiaolong has brought Tencent a heavy product-WeChat? What is Zhang Xiaolong's annual salary?

The answer is: Zhang Xiaolong's annual salary is as high as HK$ 300 million, plus Tencent shares given to him by Ma. In the Hurun Report in 2020, Zhang Xiaolong ranked 388th with a wealth of 654.38+0.4 billion yuan!

This annual salary is already 10 times that of a horse.

Why is Zhang Xiaolong the lowest-key "working emperor" of Tencent?

Zhang Xiaolong kept a low profile, and there were few interviews and reports from outside. Every year, only the WeChat open class will come out to express some ideas and opinions.

However, he is also very strong. Most product managers in the domestic Internet industry take Zhang Xiaolong as their goal or model. Every update of WeChat can interpret many product truths.

Take a drift bottle as an example. I believe that as long as everyone who has used WeChat has used it, QQ mailbox actually has this function, and Zhang Xiaolong's first project in Tencent is QQ mailbox, and Zhang Xiaolong has made the number of users of QQ mailbox the first in the country.

Then there were people nearby, shaking and other functions, which successfully opened the gap between competitors such as Mi Chat at that time and established the status of WeChat.

As we all know, Tencent is headquartered in Shenzhen, but Ma has set up a research and development center for Zhang Xiaolong in Guangzhou.

Even the weekly high-level meeting, Zhang Xiaolong didn't come in the name of "can't get up" or "afraid of traffic jam", and Ma also accommodated him, not only arranged for the secretary to wake up, but also a special car to pick him up.

On the one hand, Zhang Xiaolong does have the strength to help Tencent smoothly transform the mobile Internet with the help of WeChat. At the same time, Alipay, caught off guard by a WeChat red envelope, successfully gained a foothold in the payment market.

Some people say that the Jiugongge entrance in WeChat wallet is worth $65.438+0 billion each. Indeed, each of these companies is an Internet unicorn with a market value or valuation of more than $6,543.8+$0 billion, which also proves the traffic value of WeChat.

In fact, Ma and Zhang Xiaolong have achieved each other.

Zhang Xiaolong has this ability and brought development to Tencent; At the same time, Ma, as an eye-catching Bole, gave full play to Zhang Xiaolong.

The commercialization of WeChat has always been restrained, which is also Zhang Xiaolong's consistent insistence. You know, Tencent's most profitable business is games, but in addition to games, WeChat's advertising business is also growing year by year, coupled with emerging businesses such as payment and cloud, which are inextricably linked with WeChat.

In fact, whether you don't like meetings or sleep in, it's all appearances. A truly capable person is sometimes informal.

Low-key Zhang Xiaolong is also a well-deserved Tencent "sweeping monk", and Ma Hua Teng can't help it. Many things have to be accommodated to him.

Generally speaking, a person's value is reflected precisely because he is irreplaceable, and it is precisely because of his product thinking that Zhang Xiaolong has done WeChat, so he has the confidence to do what he likes.
