The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 308

"Well, then there is at least one thing we need to do!" Tang Jun tried his best to use Microsoft's logic to understand Kiade's decision and said, "At least we should announce that we will change the name of QQ to MSN!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kiade became angry when he heard it, "How can you change the name of MSN to such junk software as QQ?"

"But, we bought QQ, isn't it just to turn QQ into MSN?" Tang Jun was shocked.

"No, it's not turning QQ into MSN, but turning QQ users into MSN users. These two points are completely different. You must figure this out!" Kiade said angrily.

"MSN is the best instant messaging software in the world, and QQ is not as good as MSN. If such a thing is renamed as MSN, wouldn't it make Chinese people think that MSN and QQ are the same rubbish? ?”

"All I need are QQ users. In the future, we can import all QQ users into MSN users."

Well, Tang Jun couldn't understand what kind of brain circuit Kiade had to make such a decision, so he could only ask, "Then what should we do?"

"QQ will continue to operate, and we will not make any changes for the time being. After the headquarters agrees to allow MSN to operate in China, and we have completed all relevant procedures, we will use means to import all QQ user accounts into MSN accounts, and then completely close QQ! "Kiad said.

"Then why don't we just change QQ to MSN?" Tang Jun said, "We can update a brand new QQ version right away... No, let QQ be updated to the latest version of MSN, and then replace it with the name of MSN, no Is that all right?"

"No, the headquarters has not yet completed all the plans and steps for the opening of MSN in China. We cannot go against the headquarters' plan and let MSN appear in advance. The headquarters will not allow this kind of thing that goes beyond the ancestors. We just need to replace MSN in the future. After the listing, prepare the users and let them soar into the sky!" Kiade said forcefully, Tang Jun opened his mouth, expressing that he understood Microsoft's logic once again, and decisively closed his mouth.

After today, Tang Jun did not give any feedback to the headquarters, and completely acquiesced to Kiade's approach. This is the greatest support for Kiade.

But Kiade was not the case. He sent a report to the headquarters, which stated that Tang Jun was not suitable to be the president of Microsoft China at all, because he did not have the temperament of Microsoft in his bones, and he was still a Chinese turtle... That's right, Kiade Yade used such adjectives to describe Tang Jun in the report.

In the end, he said that Microsoft China will definitely get worse and worse in the hands of Tang Jun, so he suggested that the headquarters immediately replace a new president of Microsoft China, a complete Microsoft person.

A week later, the headquarters gave Kiad a reply, saying that they recognized Kiad's report very much, but they will not be able to find a suitable person to replace Tang Jun for a while. After all, the president of Microsoft China has been replaced. Too often, 5 presidents have been replaced in 4 years, and there will be no better candidates at the headquarters for a while.

So Kiade was asked to use Tang Jun reluctantly first, and wait until there was a suitable candidate at the headquarters. In desperation, Kiade could only hold his nose and continue working with Tang Jun.

Really wronged Kiade.

On the other hand, the employees of the Tengda team are experiencing their own two worlds of ice and fire.

At the beginning, when Tengda announced its reorganization, Xiao Ma left, and Zeng Qing took over, the entire QQ team was in a state of despair and fluctuating hearts.

They have already seen that Tenda does not intend to continue to operate QQ, and these team members soon began to find their own way out.Some people managed to transfer to Lianzhong Games and the newly established Kaixuan operation project team, and continued to live in Tenda.

Some people started looking for other companies. For example, many employees submitted their resumes to Jiangnan Group immediately.After all, as the opponent of O0, the product they know best in the world is OO.

In this regard, Jiangnan Group does not refuse anyone who comes. As long as it is really capable, it will attract Jiangnan Group. Anyway, Jiangnan Group now has a brand new project team that is in the process of incubation, which requires a lot of talents and programmers. These are the same as Jiangnan Group. The group has been fighting for a year and a half, and has a strong fighting ability. People who can complete the code writing and replacement of Qzone within 15 days are simply the most valuable talents in the world. The Jiangnan Group can't wait to go directly to Tenda to grab people coming.

So the original 200-person team owned by QQ shrank to 120 people in one breath. Just when these people regretted how they had not found a way out, a huge turning point occurred, that is, Microsoft announced the acquisition of the QQ team.

Ever since, the 120 people stopped leaving in an instant.After all, a fool would think that after Microsoft announced the acquisition of the QQ team, all team members of the QQ team would definitely be left to continue to be responsible for the operation of QQ.

This point is beyond doubt, not to mention that only QQ team members know how to maintain QQ. The most important thing is that Microsoft China does not actually have a few programmers. Their main task is to be responsible for the sales of Microsoft systems in China. There is a part of the localization of Microsoft programs, and the most critical work of combating piracy throughout China, prosecuting intellectual property infringement, and relying on lawsuits to obtain compensation.

In Microsoft China, for quite a long period of time, the number of legal workers is the largest in Microsoft China. They will file lawsuits all over the country, suing companies and even ZF units that use pirated Windows systems. As for individual users, they are completely No matter, after all, not to mention the extremely high cost of suing an individual user, the final compensation is only about 2000 yuan at most, which is not cost-effective at all.

Only by suing the enterprise and the ZF unit is a good deal. After all, the enterprise uses dozens or even hundreds of computers, and the total compensation is tens of thousands of yuan.

This is especially true for the relevant units of ZF. These units are very concerned about face, and at the same time need to cooperate with national policies, and it is impossible to do such things as using pirated copies.

Therefore, often before Microsoft sues, these units immediately pay compensation directly and privately, so as to avoid losing face if the incident becomes a big deal... If Microsoft is a Chinese company, that’s all, but Microsoft is a foreign company, and these units have nothing to do. .

Therefore, although Microsoft is the largest software company in the world, Microsoft does not have many programmers in China. Such Microsoft China cannot operate QQ at all. They can only attract QQ's original operation team to become Microsoft employees.

In this way, these employees have changed from the hard-working wage earners of a private company to the noble employees of a foreign company, and they are also employees of the world's number one computer company.

It's as if I was an ordinary citizen of an African country yesterday, and became a noble American by naturalizing the United States the next day. The QQ team was naturally overjoyed, and even many people who had already found another way out felt regretful and regretted themselves. Why not stay on QQ for a few more days.

It's a pity that the employees of the QQ team only lived happily for three days, and then a cold news hit them.

That is, Microsoft actually entrusted Tenda to continue to operate QQ, and was willing to pay up to 450 million yuan in entrustment fees every month.What's even more ridiculous is that Microsoft actually cut off the QZone project team in one go, and fired all the team members who originally belonged to the QZone project team, letting them find another way out.

This news completely shocked the entire QQ team, and Tengda was also shocked.

After all, in Tenda’s quotation list, the price of Qzone was as high as 5 million US dollars, accounting for half of the entire QQ project team. As a result, Microsoft cut the 000 million US dollars without hesitation. Dropped, thrown into the fire, this courage made Zeng Qing stupid for a long time, and used it to ponder the profound meaning and business essence behind Microsoft.

As a result, after thinking for three hours, I didn't understand the reason, so I could only shout "Microsoft is awesome."

But Zeng Qing is still very happy. After all, QQ actually costs less than 200 million yuan to operate for a month. As a result, the other party entrusts 450 million monthly maintenance fees, so it can earn more than 250 million pure money every month. Income, this is all my performance!

Some people may wonder, this QQ used to require more than 300 million daily expenses every month, how come it only costs less than 200 million now?
This is because the number of active users of QQ is rapidly shrinking. After throwing away the server monster of Qzone, the running resources required are even less, not as many as before, and of course it will be cheaper.

Secondly, when Tengda was operating QQ before, but wholeheartedly wanted to make QQ bigger and stronger, it would do everything possible to improve the user experience of QQ, and spend money to make employees work overtime to develop new functions of QQ.

But now that we are maintaining QQ for Microsoft, these things are completely unnecessary. The whole team only needs to ensure that QQ can operate normally. We go to work on the hour every day, leave work on the hour, and have weekends and weekends on Saturdays and Sundays. Recently, I don't even need an event planner. This kind of work is simply not too comfortable, and the labor cost has dropped a lot.

All in all, when Microsoft made this miraculous decision, the QQ project team wailed for a while, and they understood that Microsoft would not be able to see people like themselves.

So capable people gave up QQ completely and started looking for a successor, and then the Jiangnan Group appeared just right, taking these former opponents into their pockets one by one, greatly enriching the technical reserves and talent reserves of the Jiangnan Group.

In the end, less than 120 people from the 30 team stayed in the QQ project team. These people used to be in the project team and messed around.What I like most is stability, and what I hate most is change, so as long as the QQ project team is not disbanded, they will still choose to stay in the project team.

And the rest of the work is also very suitable for them. They only need to maintain the existing things, and there is no need to develop new things. It is more suitable for them to dawdle.

Ever since, the news of Microsoft's acquisition of QQ has only been going viral for two or three days, and outsiders are surprised to find that there is no further news.

QQ is still QQ, and it still operates as before. Nothing seems to have changed, but judging from the fact that QQ has not released any new updates for a month, it seems that QQ is indeed dead.
