Chapter 559

After Qin Shaoyan sat down, the first thing he said was: "This matter is over."

Everyone was startled and asked hurriedly, "What about the penguins?"

"Penguin has agreed to compensate Sentinel Technology for its losses, make a public apology, and disband the BeautyShow project team." Qin Shaoyan's tone was light and no emotion could be heard.

But the people present suddenly cheered and there was warm applause.

Everyone had an excited smile on their face, and some even clenched their fists and waved them to express their joy.

The Penguin has bowed his head and admitted defeat, which means that Sentinel Technology has won a complete victory in this battle.

Sentinel Technologies can finally hold its head high.

Compared to everyone else's ecstasy, Qin Shaoyan seemed to be in low spirits. He waved his hand and said, "Don't be so happy yet. Be quiet for a moment."

The office gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at Qin Shaoyan with great anticipation, waiting for him to announce the rewards.

After all, this business war lasted for several months, and the people under me worked around the clock and overtime, which was very hard.

According to Mr. Qin's working style, there will definitely be a large wave of reward measures.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoyan's tone was still very serious, and he didn't sound happy. "Although Penguin agreed to apologize, it seems that he has taken a step back."

"However, our competition with the Penguins is not over. We have only won temporarily, and we are still very far away from the real victory."

"Penguin's QQ still dominates the chat software market, and the gap between VV and QQ still exists."

"The battle for chat software supremacy is a long-term tug-of-war. Don't expect to win overnight or defeat Penguin in a short time."

"We won this time, but that doesn't mean we can relax."

"On the contrary, the real competition has just begun."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense and solemn, and everyone could hear that President Qin's tone was very serious.

Qin Shaoyan looked at everyone, then looked at Zhang Pingyi and several other key generals.

Zhang Pingyi was the first to speak: "Boss Qin, just tell us what to do. We will fully support you."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "First, suppress the criticism of Penguin on social networking sites and remove the trending searches to see how Penguin reacts."

"If Penguin honors its promise, this matter will be over."

Weibo CEO Li Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. "What will happen next? How will we deal with the negative public opinion about Penguin?"

Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "The leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology mentioned at the meeting today that we must crack down on fake news and rumors targeting Internet companies. As the largest social platform on the Internet, we must shoulder our responsibilities."

"I understand, Mr. Qin." Li Xiaoxiao said immediately, "Accounts that spread rumors and fabricate fake news will be dealt with collectively, and their posts will be banned or blocked depending on the severity of the situation."

Qin Shaoyan was very satisfied with Li Xiaoxiao's comprehension ability. He turned to look at Zhang Pingyi.

"Mr. Zhang, the VV project needs to be separated and run by a subsidiary."

"Okay." Zhang Pingyi agreed and asked casually, "Who will be in charge of this company?"

"Let Xu Lei go." Qin Shaoyan made the decision directly, "He has been training for so many years, it's time for him to go out and take charge of his own business."

As employee No. 001 of Sentinel Technologies, Xu Lei has always been trained as an important backbone and has been transferred between several companies in the Sentinel system.

Now Qin Shaoyan felt that it was time to let Xu Lei, whom he had trained for many years, take on the important task.

"Where is Xu Lei?" Qin Shaoyan looked around and found that Xu Lei was not in the meeting room.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Pingyi thought about it before he remembered.

"He went to the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute and won't be back until the afternoon."

"You will inform him when the time comes, Master Zhang." Qin Shaoyan urged, "Please help him keep an eye on it. There won't be many technical issues that VV needs to deal with. They will mainly be operations and management."

"During the 09 Spring Festival, VV will continue to organize the Five Blessings Collection activity."

"Ah, we're still doing it." Zhang Pingyi was surprised. "Haven't we already done it once?" "We have to do this activity every year." Qin Shaoyan said firmly. "We have to make our users remember it deeply. This year during the Spring Festival, we'll increase the prize money to 50 million."

"The Olympics are over. Isn't it a bit..." Zhang Pingyi hesitated as he still wanted to collect the five blessings?

"Collecting the five blessings during the Chinese New Year is a new activity, not collecting Fuwa." Qin Shaoyan explained, "The five blessings we are doing this time are the blessing of good fortune, and are based on the traditional meaning of the five blessings coming to the door."

“Wealth, health, peace, morality, and harmony.”

“The name has changed, but the rules remain the same.”

Qin Shaoyan glanced at Li Xiaoxiao who was taking notes seriously, "We were able to gain the upper hand in this clash with the penguin, which shows that our team is still very combat-ready."

"Those who have made contributions should be rewarded. Mr. Li, please draw up a list and a reward plan. I will sign it."

At this time, the atmosphere in the office was obviously relaxed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

As we all know, President Qin has always been very generous in terms of rewards, and everyone can receive a huge bonus.

"Everyone work hard, our Sentinel technology will get better and better." Qin Shaoyan encouraged a few words and let everyone leave.

However, he kept Zhang Pingyi behind as he had some things to discuss in private.

Qin Shaoyan said to Zhang Pingyi seriously, "I have a few important things to tell you."

Zhang Pingyi immediately perked up, holding big meetings for small matters and small meetings for big matters.

“Is it about penguins?”

"It doesn't matter much." Qin Shaoyan shook his head. "Our matter with Penguin is not over yet. Penguin will definitely make new moves later, but there won't be a fierce confrontation like this one."

"I'm going to talk about internal matters within the company, about the adjustments to the business in the next few years."

"I want to give up the campus network."

"What?" Zhang Pingyi stood up in shock. "You gave up the campus network? Why? That's where we started our business."

Facing Zhang Pingyi's questioning, Qin Shaoyan was extremely calm. "Please listen to me first. I know you have deep feelings for the campus network. I do too. After all, it is my first entrepreneurial project."

"The campus network has made a huge contribution to the development of Sentinel Technology. If there is a way, I will keep it going."

"But now the Internet is developing rapidly, and the campus network is outdated. It can't keep up with the times and will soon be eliminated. This is not something you and I can change."

"You should be able to see the changes in the campus network's data. Its development has reached a bottleneck. A large number of users have been attracted to Weibo, and old users are spending less and less time on the campus network."

"So the decline of campus networks is inevitable. Social networking among acquaintances is no longer feasible."

Zhang Pingyi suddenly asked: "Then why has Facebook developed so well?"

"Facebook and campus network have different positioning, although they both developed from the soil of campus." Qin Shaoyan paused, "Campus network is not Facebook, it has great limitations, it cannot become Facebook."

"You are now the vice president of Sentinel Technology. Sentinel Technology has many projects that are better developed than the campus network. You should consider it from a higher perspective."

“Don’t just focus on the campus network.”

Zhang Pingyi was silent for a long time, "I know, but I still don't want to give up."

Qin Shaoyan didn't say much. "The resources of the campus network will be diverted to other projects. Sentinel Technology will focus on VV and Weibo in the next few years. You can arrange the personnel diversion."

Zhang Pingyi didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

"There is one more thing." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "In the next few years, the most important thing for Sentinel Technology is to do a good job in the online game business. This is our cash cow."

“We will be in great need of money, especially working capital, in the coming years.”

Zhang Pingyi was stunned. "How much money do you need?"

"The more the better." Qin Shaoyan emphasized again, "There will be many places to spend money in the future. We should make as much as we can. We must not miss the good opportunity for development."
