You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 557

Not long after Qin Shaoyan talked to Ma Huateng, the cell phone rang again.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Sohu's voice came from the other end, asking mysteriously, "Boss Qin, I heard that you asked the police to go to Pengcheng to arrest that person?"

Qin Shaoyan pretended to be confused and asked back: "What do you mean I should send the police to Pengcheng, and who else should I arrest?"

"That guy." Zhang Sohu pointed out directly, "Ma Huateng, is it true? Was he really arrested?"

"What's true or false?" Qin Shaoyan said speechlessly, "Boss Zhang, where did you hear these rumors?"

"I just spoke to Mr. Ma on the phone. He was in a meeting at the company. How come you think he was arrested?"

"Oh, Ma Huateng is fine." Zhang Sohu's tone seemed regretful, and he turned to comment, "Boss Qin, you are still too soft-hearted."

"We should seize this opportunity to punish the penguins. They are too outrageous."

"Do you think there is anyone among us who likes penguins?"

Qin Shaoyan pondered for a moment, "Boss Zhang, we are all colleagues, we will see each other every day, why make things so awkward?"

"Besides, we are just competing with Penguin in business. There are some misunderstandings at most. It's really no big deal."

Zhang Sohu complained in his heart, I don’t believe you at all.

You and Penguin had a quarrel in the media and started shouting at each other, and there was a misunderstanding?

What a misunderstanding! Would you send the police to the Penguin headquarters to arrest people?

From the meaning of Qin Shaoyan's words, it can be seen that the conflict between the two families does not seem to be going to get any bigger, and it may become a big deal later.

Zhang Sohu, who had nothing to watch, didn't want to gossip any more, so he just agreed perfunctorily, "That's true, it's not easy for anyone."

Zhang Sohu had just dealt with it when Ding Sanshi called and asked, "Boss Qin, the matter between you and Penguin has been spreading like wildfire. There are many rumors. I want to ask about the real situation. Is it convenient for you to disclose it?"

"It's not inconvenient." Qin Shaoyan said bluntly, "Boss Ding, don't believe in rumors or spread them."

"We have some normal business frictions with Penguin. Some things go through normal legal procedures. Don't over-interpret it."

"And Mr. Ma also agreed. I just spoke to him on the phone."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Ding Sanshi said casually, "So Mr. Ma is fine?"

"What could possibly happen to him?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "Boss Ding, you didn't believe any gossip, did you?"

"You are also running a portal website. Don't randomly post unverified news."

"Okay, I got it. I'll let them pay attention." Ding Sanshi promised.

As for what Qin Shaoyan said, he didn't believe a word of it.

It’s still normal legal procedure... I call the police and ask them to go to Pengcheng to arrest someone. Do you think the police will listen?
However, it sounds like Ma Huateng is indeed fine. I don’t know if the two made some kind of deal behind the scenes, or if someone talked about the peace in between.

Anyway, the battle between the Sentinel and the Penguin is probably about picking it up high and then putting it down gently.

Qin Shaoyan felt speechless about the gossiping behavior of his colleagues, even though they all wanted the rumors to come true and make Ma Huateng suffer.

But if he was really caught, these people would have a different idea.

After all, if you can catch Mr. Ma, then you can catch Mr. Ding, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li next time...

Who can guarantee that they will not come into conflict with Sentinel Technology in the future? If friction occurs and Qin Shaoyan uses the same old trick again, what will you do?
So some things should be done just in time, don't push too hard.

Moreover, Qin Shaoyan really did not have the ability to send people in. He just took advantage of human greed and played a game with the rules.

So this matter is just right now. You don’t need to get things done, as long as people feel that you have the ability to get things done.

Qin Shaoyan had just dealt with the curiosity of his colleagues when his secretary Xiao Chen came to report that an unexpected guest had arrived.

As soon as Xiong Xiaoge walked in, Qin Shaoyan knew that he was here to act as a lobbyist.

Qin Shaoyan got straight to the point when Xiong Xiaoge just sat down, "Boss Xiong, you are not here for the penguin matter this time, are you?" Xiong Xiaoge laughed, "Boss Qin is a prophet."

Xiong Xiaoge then paused for two seconds and said slowly: "I am not here to be a lobbyist today. After all, we are family."

"But I think this incident has caused too much trouble. It is very disadvantageous to both Penguin and Sentinel Technology."

"Penguin is not a small company. If Sentinel gets into a fight with them, the situation will be difficult to handle."

"Let's not talk about the losses on both sides. What if, I mean what if someone takes advantage of the situation and fishes in troubled waters, and sees you fighting each other while they benefit."

"In China, many things are not simply business issues. If the impact is too great, the administrative department will intervene directly."

"We Chinese people believe that harmony brings wealth."

Xiong Xiaoge said so much, but it can be summed up in one sentence.

You can't work so hard. How can you make money if you work so hard?

Qin Shaoyan remained silent, just looking at Xiong Xiaoge and talking without interrupting.

Xiong Xiaoge saw that Qin Shaoyan remained silent and had no idea what he was thinking.

Qin Shaoyan said coldly, "Boss Xiong, what you said is wrong. I don't want to make a big deal out of this."

"You know me well. I am a low-key person. If you just go online and look at what happened, you will find that it was the Penguin that was pressing us step by step. We had no choice but to fight back."

“We have been very restrained since the chat software competition began.”

"As a result, Penguin copied our Meitu app and started to block our software."

"We didn't say we were going to ban Penguin on Weibo, but they got so upset by the criticism that they sent a letter to users."

"Tell me honestly, have we done anything wrong?"

Xiong Xiaoge sighed, "I know that Sentinel Technology has been wronged this time."

"But, you asked the police to arrest Ma Huateng, this is really inappropriate..."

"Boss Xiong!" Qin Shaoyan interrupted him directly, "Where did you hear this rumor? What do you mean I should ask the police to arrest Ma Hua Teng? I can call Ma Hua Teng right now in front of you and ask him if he believes it or not."

"Don't believe in rumors or spread them, Mr. Xiong. You are also an old hand. How can you believe such outrageous words?"

"..." Xiong Xiaoge was silent for a moment before he asked, "What on earth is going on?"

"The reason why our photo beautification tool can quickly occupy the market is because we have a unique technology, which we call the beauty algorithm." Qin Shaoyan said directly, "It can automatically beautify the uploaded pictures and beautify the facial features to a certain extent."

"This beautification algorithm has always been our top secret. We have also worked with the police technical investigation department to develop an internal version for criminal investigation technicians to use."

“This internal version of the algorithm is more powerful than the beauty algorithm used by users in the market.”

"But this internal beauty algorithm was stolen and used in Penguin's BeautyShow app."

"This is not just a simple case of industrial espionage or intellectual property infringement; it's theft of state secrets."

Xiong Xiaoge was immediately shocked and asked in shock, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Qin Shaoyan took out a pile of information and threw it in front of Xiong Xiaoge, "This is the evidence we collected. You can take a look for yourself."

After flipping through a few pages, Xiong Xiaoge sighed and then softened his tone, "It seems that we are right this time."

"What are you going to do?"

"What should we do?" Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Of course we should resolve it through legal means."

"The leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have already met with both of us. When the time comes, I will bring the evidence to the leaders and let them make the decision for us."
