my return 2002

Chapter 176 If the market wants to grow bigger, competitors are indispensable

"Since Mr. Ma has spoken, of course there is no problem. How about this? We generally sell point cards on behalf of 10% - 15%, and Mr. Ma's Q coins. Just give 8 points." Shen Lang waved his hand and A very bold look.

Brother Xiao Ma was overjoyed when he heard the words: "That's a big thank you to Mr. Shen."

"It should be, everyone earns money."

The reason why Shen Lang offered such good conditions to Brother Xiao Ma was mainly due to two considerations. On the one hand, even if he did not agree, Brother Xiao Ma would turn around to find Shanda, which would be equivalent to sending ammunition to his competitors. On the one hand, Q coins have a wide audience, which also promotes the promotion of Internet cafe management software.

In business, you can't do things that harm others and benefit yourself.

Shen Lang didn't care if Xiao Ma would regret it immediately after YY was released. He was the one who controlled the channels. Even if the contract was terminated, Penguin would suffer the most.

"Oh, it's no wonder Mr. Shen didn't accept my investment at the beginning. It turns out that he had a plan in mind." Brother Ma said with emotion.

Shen Lang's heart tightened inexplicably, and he said vaguely: "Mr. Ma was just joking. He really just started his business back then, and he didn't have any ideas in his heart. I'm too embarrassed to cheat you."

Brother Xiao Ma secretly rolled his eyes, I'm afraid you don't even believe this, right?

"Mr. Shen, I have always regretted that I didn't have time to visit your company last time. Let's see if this time."

At this moment, Lei Jun came in, greeted Brother Xiao Ma, and winked at Shen Lang cryptically.

Shen Lang understood, so he said to Little Ma: "That's natural, please give me some advice from President Ma."

"Where is it? Inspur Technology has achieved such achievements in one year of starting a business. It is I who want to learn from you." Brother Ma's tone is extremely sincere.

The corners of Shen Lang's mouth twitched. It is estimated that Xiao Ma has been in the door for so long, and this sentence is the most sincere.

Afterwards, Shen Lang acted as the explainer and began to show Brother Xiaoma around. Of course, they were all just a taste, and did not reveal a single word about the core data of each project.

Even so, Brother Xiao Ma was still very moved, and was very interested in various products of Inspur Technology, especially 360 Security Guard, who looked so drooling.

Shen Lang's heart fluttered, thinking, the future 3Q won't happen between them, right?

"Hey, Mr. Shen, why is there no one working here? I just saw a lot of people in the tea room." Xiao Ma suddenly pointed to the office area of ​​the YY project team.

Shen Lang laughed: "Ahem, Mr. Ma, this is our company's corporate culture. When a project reaches a dead end, brainstorming will start in the tea room. This is a normal phenomenon."

"Really?" Brother Ma looked suspiciously at Shen Lang.

"It's better than real gold. Studies have shown that the more relaxed the environment, the more it can stimulate people's desire to create."

Lei Jun saw that Shen Lang was about to run out of stories, so he hurried to save the situation, and said to brother Ma: "Mr. Ma has come from a long way, let's have a good drink today, and there is a good restaurant nearby, I have already made a reservation." Box, it's getting late, let's chat while eating."

"Then I'd rather be obedient than respectful." Brother Xiao Ma readily agreed.

Only when he was at the wine table did Shen Lang know why Brother Xiao Ma agreed so readily. This guy kept persuading him to drink, obviously trying to get Shen Lang drunk and to get his words out of his mouth.

Fortunately, with Mr. Lei here, these two can be regarded as rivals in chess, too damn good to drink, they basically drank the two bottles of liquor, and after drinking the two bottles of liquor, they just blushed and spoke logically It's all still clear.

Afterwards, the two ordered another bottle of white wine. After the bottle of white wine was finished, they couldn't take it anymore. Shen Lang had to call two people from the company to send them to a nearby hotel to open two rooms and settle them down.

At the same time, Shen Lang also made up his mind that in the future without Lei Jun, he would never have dinner with Brother Xiao Ma, this guy is too good at drinking.

On February 2th, at 14:23, the closed beta of Jianyu Jianghu will be closed. From 50:23, players have stopped their busy life of spawning monsters, leveling and playing dungeons, and began to gather in Yangzhou, waiting reluctantly Looking forward to the moment when the server is shut down, but also looking forward to the coming of the open beta without deleting files.

Although there are only two short weeks of internal testing, many players in Jianyu Jianghu have forged deep friendships. Whether it is usually brushing monsters and leveling up, downloading dungeons, or collecting herbs and mining, the efficiency of team formation is always higher. Hurry up, compared to other games, Sword Rain Jianghu has created a Jianghu for players with closer interaction between players.

"The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, and the public beta will not be deleted, so we will see you there!"

"See you soon."

For a while, the entire chat interface was full of similar words, and the players recorded their youth in their own way.

As the prompt box of disconnecting the server pops up, it indicates that the closed beta of Jianyujianghu has ended successfully.

The players couldn't restrain their boiling mood, and began to post posts in the Duowan game community to express their inner emotions, and a series of high-quality posts were born.

The authors of many posts do not necessarily have a high level of education, and some may not have even finished junior high school. What resonates with people is not the gorgeous rhetoric, but the true feelings revealed in the words.

For many players, this game will be their eternal youth memory.

Of course, in addition to the posts expressing emotions, the most popular post for playing more games is: When will the open beta without deleting files start.

This is what the players want to know the most. They can't wait to close the server for the closed beta today, and start the public beta tomorrow without deleting files.

Regarding this question, Shen Lang also asked Wang Tao.

"Or, on March 3st, let's fix the bugs detected in the internal test, and then debug the server. It will take about two weeks." Wang Tao replied.

Shen Lang patted him on the shoulder and said sternly: "It's good to be able to go online earlier, but we still have to pay attention. The first priority is to ensure the player's game experience. If you don't delete the file, the public beta will be officially charged. At that time, the player will have no The internal test is so easy to talk about, and our competitors will also use a magnifying glass to find our mistakes."

"Well, Mr. Shen, don't worry, I will take care of it." Wang Tao nodded solemnly.

Shen Lang nodded in satisfaction. Entrepreneurial companies are the ones that train people the most. During this time, everyone is growing.

Just at the end of the internal beta of Jianyu Jianghu, Kingsoft Antivirus's previous free strategy finally saw some results. The number of users that had already fallen below the critical value returned to the peak in one fell swoop, breaking through the 400 million mark.

However, Qiu Bojun is not too excited about this. They are all a bunch of prostitutes. Not only can these users not bring profits to Jinshan, but in order to maintain these increased users, Jinshan must invest in more servers.

This made Qiu Bojun very distressed, and the shareholders of Jinshan also complained about this. The company has been losing money for several months in a row. If it continues like this, he may be fired one day.

Of course, speaking of it, it was not Jinshan that had the hardest time, but Ruixing and Jiangmin. When 360 security guards took up the free banner at the beginning, they could form an alliance with Jinshan to resist.

Now even Jinshan has rebelled, and the charging environment of the entire anti-virus software has been completely destroyed. A large number of users are lost every day. Most of the remaining users are some members who have not expired. After the membership expires, it is estimated that there will be no No more fees.

"President Wang, what should we do now?" Wang Jiangmin said helplessly.

Wang Xin gritted his teeth and hammered the handle of the sofa: "I shouldn't have believed Qiu Bojun, an old fox, at the beginning!"

"Well, what's the use of talking about it today, it's useless." Wang Jiangmin sighed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Compared with Shen Lang, he hated begging Bo Jun even more at this moment, begging Bo Jun Stabbing him in the back made all his years of hard work go to waste.

Wang Xin calmed down at this time: "Hmph, isn't it just free? That kid named Shen can do it, and Qiu Bojun can do it. Why can't we do it?"

"But... we don't have to pay death for free? We don't have a game business to transfuse." Wang Jiangmin shook his head when he heard it.

Wang Xin sneered and said, "When the 360 ​​security guard surnamed Shen first came out, he attracted the attention of Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan, but the kid surnamed Shen was ambitious and did not agree to Yang Zhiyuan's acquisition."

Wang Jiangmin looked at Wang Xin in shock: "Mr. Wang, what do you mean, you plan to sell Rising? Are you willing?"

"Hmph, what's there to be reluctant to do? Do you think we can still survive if this goes on? We must continue to suffer from it!"

Wang Jiangmin still hesitated: "But, it's not a small risk to do so. If no one takes the offer, it will be in your hands."

Wang Xin curled his lips: "There is no risk in doing business, Lao Wang, the times have changed, and we can no longer use the same old way of thinking to think about problems. Why did we lose to that kid surnamed Shen? It's not that we can't do business, but that his thinking is better. Adapt to today's era!"

Wang Jiangmin looked at Wang Xin and remained silent for a long time, as if he had known him for the first time. At the same time, he was also thinking about a question.

"Could it be that I'm really old?"

Soon, Rising and Jiangmin both announced that it would be permanently free, and for a while the entire antivirus software market was booming again.

Although 360 Security Guard is still strong, Jinshan, Rising, and Jiangmin, as old-fashioned antivirus software, still have a certain weight in the hearts of users, and soon gained a large number of users because of the free strategy.

Lei Jun sighed with some lack of interest: "I didn't expect Rui Xing and Jiang Min to embark on this road."

Shen Lang shrugged: "It's just the general trend, if you don't change, you can only wait for death."

Lei Jun looked at Shen Lang, feeling a little dazed for a while. If it was a year ago, someone told him that a boy in his early 20s would completely change the entire antivirus software market, and he would definitely think that person was a lunatic. .

Gathering his mind, Lei Jun said to Shen Lang: "There are three more competitors all of a sudden, should we take action?"

Shen Lang smiled and shook his head: "If a market wants to grow bigger, it is far from enough to rely on one family alone. With them helping us develop the market, why bother to discourage their enthusiasm?"

Lei Jun couldn't help smiling wryly. The young man in front of him was always so confident. Sometimes he didn't even know where the other party's confidence came from, but he was inexplicably convincing.

"Are you not afraid that they will be difficult to clean up when they grow up?"

Shen Lang smiled and said: "Do you still remember what I told you last time when I went to the capital for an appointment?"

As he spoke, Shen Lang pointed to the temple: "They don't have Internet thinking, and they have no choice but to withdraw from the stage of history."

Lei Jun's heart was shocked, and he muttered to himself: "Will we also have such a day?"

"Maybe, who knows?" Shen Lang sighed softly. He is just an ordinary person, but he has 20 years more memory than others. He won't know what will happen after 2022. If he can't grow up by then Come on, what's so strange about being eliminated by the market?This is destined to be a world where the fittest survive.

Just as Shen Lang expected, Kingsoft, Rising, and Jiangmin's successive free offers made the entire anti-virus software market unprecedentedly prosperous. Of course, in the eyes of the three of them, this prosperity is false, because they are losing money every day.

But for Shen Lang, the daily increase in users of 360 Security Guard is real. The software recommendation alone has brought many loyal users to browsers, smart input methods, and search engines.

The download volume of 360 Security Browser has finally exceeded [-] million, becoming the third product in Shen Lang's hands with a download volume of over [-] million. For a while, Inspur Technology, a small company, began to receive more and more attention from peers and capital .

On this day, just as Shen Lang came to the company, he was told by the lady at the front desk that there was an old friend visiting, and Lei Jun was already receiving him.

With doubts, Shen Lang walked into the company and was stunned when he saw that it was Yang Zhiyuan who had met once.

"Mr. Shen, long time no see." Yang Zhiyuan looked at Shen Lang with a smile.

Shen Lang couldn't help secretly admiring the other party's heart. You must know that 360 security guards made 3721, which Yahoo spent a huge sum of money to acquire, worthless.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Yang, why didn't you call me before you came, so I can pick you up."

Yang Zhiyuan jokingly said, "Pick me up? Take a taxi?"

Shen Lang was so choked that he rolled his eyes, and secretly made up his mind that when the public beta of Jian Yu Jiang Hu came out, he would definitely buy a car.

"Haha." Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Shen Lang's embarrassment, it could be regarded as revenge for 3721.

Shen Lang invited Yang Zhiyuan into the office, Yang Zhiyuan looked around, and said to Shen Lang with some emotion.

"Mr. Shen, you are still so frugal, which is admirable."

Shen Lang shrugged: "I can't help it, I don't have any money in my pocket, and if I'm not frugal, I won't be able to survive this day."

"Hehe, you, holding a golden bowl and crying poor." Yang Zhiyuan complained half-jokingly.

It was obvious that Yang Zhiyuan had a wicked heart, so Shen Lang quickly changed the subject.

"Mr. Yang didn't come back to China this time to see me, did he?"

"Half and half. A company in Hangzhou invited me to inspect it. If it doesn't make the way, I'll take a look."

Hangzhou?Shen Lang immediately thought of Lao Ma, his heart moved, and he vaguely remembered that in 2005, Yahoo would inject 10 billion US dollars into Ali, which caused a sensation in the entire Internet circle at that time.
