What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 249
Chapter 249: Retaliation (5k)
Penguin has launched attacks again and again in the field of security software.
From the Spring Festival to more than half a year, Penguin’s pace has always been clear, regardless of software functions, interfaces, or traffic imports it is good at, that is, to replicate the success in other fields and top the first place in this market!
We have money, people, technology, traffic, and successful experience, so what is impossible?
Not only does Penguin have such a confident understanding, Zhou Hongyi from 360 also feels the most dangerous edge.
Judging from the data, Penguin once received 100 million installed capacity during the forced promotion during the Spring Festival, but this rash impact quickly reduced this share.
Now it seems that I have learned a lesson. Although Penguin still upgraded silently without prompts, the promotion range is much gentler than the last time, and it is quite like boiling a frog in warm water.
Penguin’s move made Zhou Hongyi shudder.
He had to call Penguin BOSS Ma Huateng again, and he had to hear the other party’s comfort and polite rejection again.
At this point, the situation and communication have made Zhou Hongyi unable to retreat. If this development is followed, 360 will definitely not be able to achieve next year’s listing plan, and its market position that has been fighting along the way will quickly decline.
Zhou Hongyi is already fighting and is nicknamed “Red Cannon”. She made a decision without much time. This time she wanted to give Penguin the toughest counterattack!
On August 30, 360 suddenly released a “privacy protector” for Penguin. Its function is mainly to help users monitor all behaviors of computer software in the system background, and prompt a software to peek at the user’s personal privacy files without the user’s permission. and data.
This quickly brought a new peak to the public opinion that the Penguin had just calmed down.
Although the Internet is developing rapidly, people are not so used to being violated in privacy, or rather, they are not so used to being pointed out. Therefore, in the face of the fact that “silent escalation” people are either angry, panic or eating melons. Spread rapidly.
Like a replica of public opinion, Weibo, Bai Xiaosheng and major portals quickly followed up on this matter.
However, unlike last time, this time the public opinion is aimed at Penguin’s most core software.
The value of #famous and unfamiliar #, #road with eyes, and #jokes new editors are still increasing.
Yu Xing received the latest news at the recording site of Oriental Satellite TV. Although he already knew that this fateful battle would inevitably come, he was surprised that it was suddenly presented today.
He vaguely remembered that the 360 raid was linked to Mr. Ma’s birthday.
Now… Could it be that Mr. Ma’s birthday is ahead of schedule?
Or is it because of Bai Xiaosheng’s existence that Penguin’s actions in handling public opinion and promotion have changed, and then 360’s counterattack has also changed?
Yu Xing thought about this, and as soon as he looked up, his eyes darkened. Several bosses who came to record the show this time surrounded him.
Li Song and Yu Xing from Zhenai.com are the most familiar with each other and ask directly: “Mr. Yu, what’s the situation? Why did 360 fight with Penguin?”
Yu Xing did not hide his happiness at all: “Hey, haha, how did I know.”
Li Song half-jokingly joked: “Aren’t you Bai Xiaosheng?”
Yu Xing thought about it and really mentioned some possible details: “I saw that 360 employees had posted messages on the forum before, saying that they had closed R&D, but did not mention what was specific R&D. Now it seems that Maybe it’s one of the products they’re fighting back….”
Mu Yan from Baihe.com accurately sensed the meaning of the words and repeated: “One?”
Yu Xing replied, “I don’t know. I’m just guessing. I feel that neither side will give up. One is forced to do so, and the other is an arrogant giant. Neither side will let go easily.”
Seeing that everyone had not yet dispersed, he had to announce, “There is really no more situations. Let’s have a meal. I’m going to start making jokes.”
When everyone heard this, they really dispersed and joined another group of people eating melon discussions.
Yu Xing first looked at his forum and saw the lively discussion. Then, he looked at the situation on Weibo, and the response was even more enthusiastic than before.
The most bizarre thing is that before I could speak, the number of fans was already rising.
Yu Xing thought carefully and countless Soviet jokes were surging in his heart.
In the end, he just posted: “I said nothing.”
As soon as the joke leader made a sound, he didn’t need to say anything at all, and the comment section automatically helped him generate the latest joke.
—Yu Xing, who was walking on the road, was suddenly taken away. He shouted for injustice, “I said nothing”, and the person who arrested him was righteous, “You think I don’t know what you want to say.”
—I didn’t say anything → You want to burst out in silence, right → Take away!
—Bai Xiaosheng is the first to be upgraded by technology…
Before the recording in the afternoon began, Yu Xing took the time to call the local leader he had met before and asked for instructions: “Director Sun, our Baixiaosheng Forum has had the previous situation again. What should I do? ”
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, this thing…
After a while, Director Sun inexplicably said, “Do you want to mock me?”
Yu Xing was really surprised: “Ah? Oh, Director Sun, I sincerely ask for instructions. It is related to the development of our company. If it is not handled properly, it will affect my own money… You misunderstand me.”
Director Sun seemed to have found his identity and emphasized: “Mr. Yu, Bai Xiaosheng must assume social responsibility and guide users to consciously abide by laws and regulations. Everyone must speak rationally and interact civilly.”
Yu Xing was very rational and thanked Director Sun for his precise instructions.
Director Sun hung up the phone and looked at the screen in front of him, “I didn’t say anything.” He always felt that Mr. Yu, who said nothing, was just mocking him.
The recording of the program continued in the middle of the afternoon.
Yu Xing was forced to be cue the latest incident.
Unlike before, he just shook his head this time: “There is no **** to say, and no **** to say.”
However, no matter what he said now, he seemed to care about something.
According to the plan, Yu Xing is going to start talking about WeChat that is benchmarked against Feixin in the program, and each episode of the next program will recruit people as the CEO of WeChat company and gradually increase publicity efforts.
Because to compare with Feixin, there must be a reason.
Yu Xing naturally talked about product innovation, but before the talk was finished, he was interrupted and asked by the host.
“Mr. Yu, are you talking about penguins?” Zhang Shaogang was straightforward, “Just say it straight, we can understand!”
Yu Xing shook his head helplessly: “No, it’s really not.”
He had to explain his identity: “We Bai Xiaosheng are just an independent third party, and what we do is to present everyone’s opinions objectively.”
Zhang Shaogang pretended to be surprised: “Ah, I thought there was an Overlord Alliance.”
Yu Xing shrugged and re-discussed the topic: “What I just wanted to talk about is the innovation of the company’s products. Okay, be more specific, so that you will always lead me to the wrong way. Like I use the mobile Feixin myself, I always feel that this software is not good. Use it, either it is very stuck or it loses information, and most importantly, it can only send messages to mobile users.”
“Now it’s the era of mobile Internet. Why can’t Fexin expand its users to China Unicom and Telecom?”
“I don’t understand this.”
Zhang Shaogang asked: “Then how do you think we should innovate? Come on, Mr. Yu, you can come up with a move to Feixin.”
Yu Xing smiled and said slowly: “I can’t give Feixin a move. I just think that software like Feixin that can save SMS costs needs to cover a larger group, and this is not technically difficult to do. ”
When Li Song from Zhenai.com heard this, he couldn’t help but lean forward and look at Yu Xing who was unfolding the map. He seemed to have felt the sharpness of the dagger.
Yu Xing said seriously: “Our company incubated a software similar to Fexin, just to see if something that meets user needs can get good reviews.”
At this time, Zhang Shaogang suddenly heard the voice of the director team coming from the headset: “Ask Yu Xing what the name of the software is.”
He asked, “So, Mr. Yu, what is its name for this kind of Feixin-like software that meets user needs and covers a larger group?”
There seemed to be a cold light flashing in Yu Xing’s eyes, and he replied politely: “WeChat, the name is WeChat.”
Li Song withdrew his gaze and felt inexplicably moved at this moment. Zhenai.com acquired Yu Xing’s startup project two years ago, and he watched how he runs the company.
Two years ago, he sat opposite him and was interrogated by Guiai.com.
Two years later, he sat next to himself and told the camera that he was actually targeting the giants.
This rapid growth…
The host Zhang Shaogang heard Yu Xing’s answer and joked in his own way: “I understand, Mr. Yu, there are two ways to innovate, one is that you give Feixin a move, and the other is… you want to force me backwards. Feixin innovation! “Yu Xing smiled and said, “Fexin is a big software. We mainly use small software for college students, which is just a try.”
The promotion has ended here and the program has returned to the right track of recording.
Yu Xing was half of his thoughts on the latest public opinion. Apart from answering questions, he did not actively participate in the recording in the half-day afternoon.
When the recording ended in the evening, he stuffed the mineral water into his bag and carried it up to leave.
“Mr. Yu.” Li Song came over and said hello.
“Brother Song.” Yu Xing was very polite.
Li Song whispered, “You really want to go?”
Yu Xing knew that Li Song knew the ultimate goal of WeChat and smiled and said, “It’s not okay if you don’t get it, otherwise the money will be wasted.”
Li Song asked again: “How many users do WeChat have now?”
Yu Xing laughed but said nothing.
Li Song patted Yu Xing on the shoulder: “Mr. Yu, brother Yu, I have already respected you.”
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Yu Xing was surprised and didn’t say anything.
He walked a few steps and said, “Brother Song, I have something to say.”
The respect in Li Song’s heart suddenly dissipated, and he felt his nerves tighten: “You…you said.”
“I went shopping a while ago and happened to meet Zhenai.com’s offline promotion of love contracts. I chatted for a while before I found out that the insurance company is also making this type of product.” Yu Xing mentioned what he encountered before.
Li Song nodded: “Yes, they have developed this type of product this year, which is quite competitive.”
Almost five or six insurance companies have launched love insurance this year. This similar product not only expands the market cake, but also intensifies competition.
Zhenai.com is considering strengthening the value of gifts that are finally redeemed for love contracts, which can further enhance competitiveness and continue to improve the company’s accounting status.
Yu Xing said as he walked: “From the contract perspective, products like ours are compliant and do not violate any clear regulations. But, once insurance companies participate, they will inevitably urge them to make a loud noise. Although the market is big…I Worrying now, this will lead to problems.”
Li Song frowned and said, “What’s the problem? Everyone makes money by getting married at the end with a low probability.”
“No, I’m not talking about the product mechanism.” Yu Xing reminded, “It’s the nature of the product. Zhenai.com’s love contract is a civil contract, and the products of insurance companies belong to insurance. This is completely different. The above is the insurance company’s above. There is also the China Insurance Regulatory Commission.”
Li Song was stunned, stopped, and there were different thoughts in his mind.
For example, there are problems with Zhenai.com products, which are nothing more than civil issues, negotiation or lawsuits, but if there is a problem with the insurance company, consumers also have channels to complain to the China Insurance Regulatory Commission. The impact on this segmented market is There is another layer of supervision.
Such regulation…
Li Song looked at Yu Xing, who seemed to have the words “Technical Upgrade” written on his forehead, swallowed and spit out three words: “One size fits all?”
Yu Xing comforted his hands and said, “Brother Song is keen!”
Li Song opened his mouth, Min… Min, you are so tall!
He looked at Yu Xing with an innocent face, thinking about Zhenai.com’s dream of listing next year, and then was stunned for a while and asked, “What should I do? This knife…what should I do?”
Yu Xing shook his head: “I don’t know.”
Li Song was a little anxious: “No, we don’t cheat, we are all willing to fight and be beaten!”
There is no need to cheat a love contract at all. The low probability of couples going from love to marriage is huge profits.
Yu Xingxin felt sad: “Hey, who said it was not?”
Li Song’s mind was in a flash, linking the acquisition two years ago with the situation he might face now, and with Yu Xing’s style of doing things over the past two years, he suddenly grabbed his arm: “The surname is Yu! Have you expected such a scene long ago? ? ”
Yu Xing frowned and reached out to pull Li Song’s hand away, but found that the other party was very strong and he was really anxious.
He had no choice but to ask, “Brother Song, they should not interfere with the willingness to fight and be beaten by the love contract, right?”
Li Song immediately replied: “Of course! We will strictly implement the contract agreement!”
Yu Xing asked slowly, “Then we were willing to fight and be beaten by the business of Guiai.com. What are you doing now? Do you want to use today’s sword to kill me before?”
You don’t want your “will to fight and be beaten” to be interfered, so why should we hold our previous “will to fight and be beaten” accountable?
Li Song understood this and couldn’t help but let go of his hand: “This…”
He watched Yu Xing leave and hurriedly chased after him: “No, no, I’m not angry, I’m angry… I’m angry, you can say it before, you can tell everything!”
“The problem is that there was no insurance company to do it at that time.” Yu Xing said, “Let’s take a step back and let’s be more heartbroken. If I know everything, would you still buy it?”
Or, do you still give that price?
Yu Xing turned his head and looked at Li Song, and finally said, “Brother Song, I’m talking about this. If you listen to this for now, you can’t say such a thing. Well, you’ve made plans long ago.”
Li Song stopped and watched Yu Xing go away. The look just now seemed to be filled with the cruelty of business competition.
He himself felt that he was naive, and he could speak out in business competition…
But, however, but…
Li Song was stunned for a long time, and felt like he was in a state of anger, but he couldn’t get it out.
The product mechanism is to use low probability to make huge profits, but the company seems to face the high probability problem of the overall market in the future.
Li Song got into his car, and the “small probability” and “high probability” in his mind were playing back and forth.
In the end, he got a result of the game. Yu Xing was a low probability of being a human, and a high probability of being a dog!
When he arrived home that night, Li Song stayed on the sofa and thought for a long time, but felt that the company’s hope of listing suddenly became slim. Love contracts have become the second growth curve for the company to make money. Although the product itself can keep the funds in the account, Promotion still requires investment…
Once one-size-fits-all, or even one-size-fits-all, the overall decline in expectations will directly bring serious problems.
“Have you read Yu Xing’s Weibo?”
Xu Xin came home from get off work and saw that her husband had come back, so she asked casually about the latest excitement.
Li Song returned with a confused look.
Xu Xin smiled and said, “He said at noon, ‘I didn’t say anything’, and in the evening, ‘I have nothing to say,’ This guy is really funny.”
Both sentences triggered a frenzy of new jokes, and the latter sentence seemed to be a response to black humor.
Coupled with Bai Xiaosheng’s previous technological upgrades, the combination of reality and public opinion is even more fun.
Xu Xin took a sip of water and said a few more words about the 3Q dispute over gunpowder. Suddenly, she found that her husband did not respond to her words at all. She wondered, “What’s wrong with you? Talk!”
Li Song was stunned and after a while, he said heartbrokenly: “I have nothing to say.”
The 3Q wave is surging, and no one cares about it. It is also where few people pay attention to it. WeChat has increased its benchmark with Fexin and added cooperation with major application stores.
Yu Xing only updated two Weibo posts on this day, and I really didn’t say anything next.
Not only did he not say that, he didn’t even go to Weibo or his own Baixiaosheng website, but just supervised WeChat promotion.
On the last night of August, Yu Xing announced the latest financing of WeChat, and once again received $5 million in additional investment from Kestrel Capital. He also pointed out that unless the good market performance impressed other institutions, this is from Hong. The last money of the falcon.
Defeat the boat, defeat the boat!
“Mr. Yu, can we do it?” Deputy Technical Director Tan Ruize asked the boss anxiously.
Yu Xing did not answer and looked at the technical director Ge Zhijie: “Mr. Ge, what do you think?”
Ge Zhijie was a habitual resignation of his personality without bearing pressure, but at this time he only answered one word: “Yes!”
Yu Xing laughed: “Just do it!”
