The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 276 Tenda's Struggle

[PS: Thank you for your support, the old rules, two days off on Saturday and Sunday without updates, and continue from next Monday to Friday]

Shi Zhu here is eager to compete with Jiangnan, fighting with Jiangnan in the blind box market that Jiangnan is most proud of, and at the same time feels that he can win steadily.

At the same time, in another market on the other side, QQ, which has been competing with Jiangnan for more than a year, is also brewing a Jedi counterattack.

"Boss, I have confidence, but after our QQ group and QQ file transfer functions are launched at the same time, we will definitely be able to regain the market we lost!" Facing Xiao Ma, Zhang Zhidong promised with full confidence.

Since the QQ level and OO level were released successively, the two companies have not had a fierce frontal competition for more than half a year, and each of them is running the company smoothly.

This seems to be a good thing, but unlike Huang He who is proud of the country, borrowed 10 billion US dollars, deployed in the United States, and even promoted the Yellow Crane Award, Xiao Ma's life is quite difficult.

Because Sun Zhengyi spent almost all of the money invested by Sun Zhengyi, and the whole QQ has fallen into a situation where there is no money to use. If there is no new action on the OO side that requires QQ to follow up, I am afraid that QQ has been dragged to death by financial pressure. up.

However, it’s not like Xiao Ma didn’t do anything for the past half a year. In the past half year, he almost ran on both sides of BJ Shenzhen, and half of his energy was devoted to the game center of Lianzhong. He used various methods to attract traffic to the game center of Lianzhong. Let QQ and Lianzhong Games completely integrate together.

Through various means, Lianzhong Games has been stabilized at any rate. At the same time, the paying members of Lianzhong Games itself have also allowed QQ to have a certain amount of income. At least with the efforts of the financial staff, QQ has miraculously turned losses into profits in the second half of the year. He earned nearly 2000 million yuan in funds, and Sun Zhengyi was very satisfied.

Of course, in fact, QQ is barely maintaining a balance of payments, so QQ urgently needs new financing.

In fact, Brother Xiaoma is already negotiating with more than a dozen investment companies. QQ is about to start the second round of financing. In order to raise more funds for this round of financing and launch a counterattack against OO, A Jedi counterattack is required on the frontal battlefield.

After all, in the past six months, although the total number of QQ users has increased, the market share has dropped sharply.

At the beginning of 2002, QQ occupied as high as 93% of the market share of the entire instant messaging software market, and it was a well-deserved king.

But by the end of 2002, this market share had dropped to 51%, only 2% more users than OO, and it may not be necessary until 2003, this advantage will be completely lost.

Losing more than 40% of the market in one year is a complete defeat, so the capital market is actually not optimistic about QQ now, and OO’s parent company is so strong, so Tenda’s second round of financing is very difficult , Xiao Ma really needs a big victory.

However, Brother Xiao Ma has already prepared it. In the past six months, Tenda's technical department is not just for nothing. With Zhang Zhidong's efforts and the full support of Brother Xiao Ma, Tenda's technology and operation departments have come up with Two new sets of functions came out.

That is, QQ groups and QQ files.

These two functions seem to be extremely common now. In 2002, they were definitely called explosive ideas. After all, this function only appeared in 2005 in history, and it was abruptly forced in 2002. Coming out, it can be seen how miserable Tengda and Xiao Ma were forced to do this time.

Brother Xiao Ma's intention is very simple, that is to use the launch of the QQ group to restore a wave of popularity, re-increase the market share, and then better carry out the second round of financing, get more money, develop more functions, and OO will fight hard to the end.

Needless to say, this time QQ really took the lead. After a year and a half, they regained the initiative on the battlefield for the first time.

Three days after the release of QQ groups and QQ file transfer functions, QQ excitedly announced that 10 new QQ groups were added overnight, QQ files were sent more than 15 times, and user activity increased by 20%. .

Indeed, QQ group and QQ file transfer are extremely important functions for an instant messaging software.

As soon as these two functions were launched, they did attract a large number of users.

You must know that in the instant messaging software market now, because of the full competition, users do not only use QQ or OO, but most people choose to use both at the same time, and hang up at the same time when using the computer. Keep two instant messaging software, so that you will not miss any news from your friends.

After all, when the market weight of the two software is almost exactly the same, the proportion of friends is also the same, and everyone can only open two software at the same time to chat on a daily basis.

And when the QQ group and QQ file transfer functions were launched, because these two functions are really interesting and practical, a large number of users began to prefer QQ all of a sudden, and the data of the entire QQD climaxed in an instant, and the entire Tenda also After being depressed for a year and a half, there was joy at the same time.

What's even more joyful is that Jiangnan didn't have any reaction or countermeasures in the face of this situation. They were completely caught off guard.

--------

"QQ's recent offensive is very fierce, we are already behind!" Huang He, who had finally been idle for a while, received the report from Leng Zhimeng.

"It's all your fault. You, the CEO, went to watch the game, and you left all the work to others. You didn't know the news until three days later. Leng Zhimeng, how do you think I will punish you?" Huang He He smashed the report in his hand on Leng Zhimeng's head.

"Whatever you want, I did make a mistake anyway!" Leng Zhimeng said with a depressed face, she was also very depressed, she was really too obsessed with the competition in the past few days, so much so that she completely ignored the problems at work.

"Then punish you by not allowing me to go to South Korea to participate in WCG this time!" Huang He laughed.

"No, if you punish me like this, I'll resign directly, and you get someone else to be the CEO!" Leng Zhimeng exploded immediately.

"Then I'll fine you to tutor Zhi Ting and Zhi Yuan with their homework for a month!" Huang He said instead.

"Then you might as well kill me!" Leng Zhimeng looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I don't care. Anyway, you choose one of the two punishments. Even if you resign, the punishment will still continue. I will specifically tell my mother to let him watch you!" Huang He said lightly.

"Then I'll choose homework tutoring!" Leng Zhimeng made the most desperate decision.

"By the way, your secretary, you'd better get fired!" Huang He added.

"Why?" Leng Zhimeng's complexion changed. Leng Zhimeng still thinks that her secretary is quite good. The relationship between the two parties has always been very good. She is a little reluctant to bear this secretary.

"4 days ago, our people lurking in Tengda had already reported the news that Tengda was going to release QQ files and QQ groups, and reported it to you, but your secretary stopped him and did not report to you."

"Two days ago, 00 officially announced the QQ file and QQ group news, and then opened it on the second day. Your secretary still hasn't reported this news to you. Do you think such a secretary can still be kept?" Huang Huang Crane asked back.

"But it's none of her business. I told her that I have to concentrate on watching the game during this period of time, and let her not bother me with these things, and leave it to the company's executives to discuss the countermeasures... Yes Yes, I asked him to give it to your brother-in-law, didn't she report it?" Leng Zhimeng said in a hurry.

"Yes, I gave it to me, but she is your secretary, not mine!" Huang He slapped the table vigorously, and Leng Zhimeng jumped in fright, "Even if I gave such an order, but so Important news, if Hu Jing received it, then I think even if she was reprimanded by me, she would definitely try her best to tell me. This is a top priority related to the company's competition. If you can't tell the difference, then why should you be the company president's secretary?"

"Anyway, this secretary can't stay!" Huang He said firmly.

"Brother-in-law, this is all mine, can you not punish her?" Leng Zhimeng begged.

"No!" Huang He shook his head firmly.

"Then can we not be fired? How about changing her position?" Leng Zhimeng asked again.

"No, I have to be fired. I want to use her to scare chickens and monkeys." Huang He said very simply, "Zhimeng, don't blame brother-in-law for being cruel. If you want to blame it, blame you for controlling such a huge company now, with thousands of employees under your command." Employees are counting on your life, but your attitude is so slack."

"Brother-in-law, I want to make an example to the monkey. The monkey is either someone else or you, so she must be fired. There is no room for negotiation!"

"Then at least...at least...at least by the head office..."

"No, this order is for you to personally announce the news of her dismissal!" Huang He said expressionlessly.

"Then I won't be the CEO anymore!" Leng Zhimeng was already crying.

"Yes!" Huang He nodded, "Brother-in-law doesn't want to force you, if you can't figure out the reason behind it, then you are really not suitable for this position!"

"Woooooo!" Leng Zhimeng ran away crying, and seeing Leng Zhimeng running away, Huang He was slightly absent-minded.

"Will I be too ruthless in doing this? After all, this is also something I planned!" At this moment, Huang He also doubted his decision "Forget it, if she can't figure it out, then she is indeed not suitable to continue to be this President! I'm doing it for her own good, so that she can be a happy game girl!"

On the second day, Leng Zhimeng issued an internal letter within the company, announcing the decision to fire her secretary, and at the same time issued a self-examination letter.

In this inspection letter, she confessed that she herself lost to the company's management because of her recent hobbies. Apologize, and said that she will never make similar mistakes in the future, and ask all company employees to supervise for her.

"You've grown up after all!" Huang He exclaimed when he read the letter.
