Ma want to get rid of the "otaku" image: I had to grow up

Internet industry in China, Mr. Ma is known to good at social networking. Zhang then he was not enthusiastic fashion, but also not so keen Ma preach their own ambitions. 


However, the summer of 2011, everything seemed to be changed: Ma frequently appear in major media, and Tencent announced its partner conference, eight completely open platform. Ma's friend, the famous Internet critic Bo Ma also obviously felt changed - "he would like to also express to the outside world more good, he is in transition from a super product manager, to a system architect."

"He is in transition."

Bo-known commentators on the Internet it seems, always feel the outside world by the 360 ​​and Tencent QQ is the stimulation of war, forced to change.In fact, the "horse's heart, have long been touched, time should be three or four years ago."

"I know, he already registered on Facebook." Hong said: "Ma is very concerned about the company." At that time, Facebook's open platform, outside there are many people still do not understand. "Because this is not our predecessors tried to bring a web site as an operating system to do." Hung described the road.

However, everyone on the dining table are Internet experts. Ma's circle of friends, almost concentrated here. Four years ago, Facebook's open to everyone looking on. Mr. Ma has asked for one: "This open platform, can introduce to China?"

Bo was on notice of this. "Ma is a very sensitive technology trends and people, I think Tencent open signs, from the time it cropped up."

But Ma has not been careful to start with. "This is about his character," Bo said: "He is not a contradiction encountered people who immediately closed." Hong gave an example: If there are two departments Tencent internal friction, Mr. Ma does not own decision. His approach is to call the two sides together, face to face.

"If you talk bad, how do?" The reporter asked. Bo's response: "Well, he let them continue to talk until 谈拢 up."

360 and QQ war: catalyst Tencent open platform

In fact, in the past five years, Tencent spent quite a good time. As of the end of December 2010, QQ number of active registered users to reach 648 million, the average Chinese Internet user has 1.5 QQ accounts. As China's most profitable Internet companies, Internet companies in its global market value was second only to Google and Amazon.

But Mr. Ma can always feel it is a dangerous person, 360 and QQ war confirmed the existence of a crisis. Despite China's largest client, but it can not protect Tencent.
"It was standing Tencent not many people on this side," Bo said: "Although we think the 360 ​​is a rogue, but the landed gentry of things rogue fight, no one is willing to speak out."

World War, Bo Ma met in Beijing. This time, he asked the latter question: "If you are not their own starting Monday issued bodyguards, but the open source code released. On an open platform to allow third parties to do so that all people can change, you how to do? "
Teng Ma of the hearing, did not speak. But Bo knows his heart is already to clear. At that time, Tencent has been made public on an open platform for eight outline.

Mr. Ma seemed aware of this than anyone else, even as early as four years ago, he provides an insight into opportunities. The key is not domineering, he has always been, how to promote it in a subversive revolution? This time, he firmly grasped the opportunity.
"I think this incident (and 360 World War II), is definitely a very good catalyst to make us even more firmly in the (open) this road go faster." Ma spared in this section of the article, " In fact many people in how to do an internal, unified strategy on how always had a different view. The outbreak, as if squeezed in between the release of the pressure plate, I think will make us even better diagnosis, where the future there is pressure there, what will be an earthquake. "

In fact, the "autarky" to resolve the "open door" this may be the biggest in history Tencent revolutionized. In this regard, Mr. Ma used a few to live metaphor - we have created a small community of their own, from start to finish, in order to make people live more comfortable, the small community is built out of our own.
