my return 2002

Chapter 314 Lost move!

At this time, the Q coin is still considered a hard currency. It can be used to recharge all the value-added services of Penguin.

In addition, QQ Doctor is also prepared, and its daily protection is not inferior to 360 security guards. The user experience is still quite good, which naturally attracts a group of users to use it.

I have to admit that Brother Ma's vision is still very poisonous.

QQ Doctor’s move of large-scale distribution of coins is impossible for 360 Security Guard to follow suit. The reason is very simple. QQ Doctor has just been launched at this time, and it belongs to the role of challenger. Every additional user is profitable for them.

And 360 Security Guard is the role of the guardian. Just like QQ Doctor, it is throwing a lot of coins. There will not be much growth in new users. If it is just to keep the existing user scale, it will give every user who has downloaded 360 Security Guard. Sending money, the price is too high.

Lin Yong naturally saw such a big move by Doctor QQ. Due to the exclusiveness of the anti-virus software on the user's computer, many users uninstalled 360 Security Guard, which made Lin Yong feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Shen Lang also attaches great importance to it, he has never underestimated Xiao Ma.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Shen Lang called Lin Yong to the office.

Lin Yong thought for a while, and looked at Shen Lang with some embarrassment: "Boss Shen, I thought of a trick, but it just hurts a bit."

Shen Lang said unhappily: "Stop talking nonsense, don't care if it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. Tell me quickly."

"Mr. Shen, that's what I think. Isn't Penguin rich? You will be given 20 Q coins for downloading. Can we use the Q coins to make a fuss?" Lin Yong said with a wicked smile.

Shen Lang became interested: "How to make a fuss, you can talk about it in detail."

Lin Yong whispered: "It's actually very simple. The users who need Q coins are actually only a small part. Isn't Penguin rich and powerful? We can take advantage of this to buy Q coins at a discounted price in the market, and then raise the price." If the price is sold, it will not only give users the impression that downloading QQ Doctor is just to earn Q coins, but also make a lot of money!"

Originally, Shen Lang always thought that Lin Yong was an honest person who only knew how to do technology, but he didn't expect to come up with such a vicious, bah, such a good plan.

This is indeed a kill two birds with one stone program.

However, Shen Lang thought about it, and suddenly showed a playful smile, and patted Lin Yong's shoulder.

"You're a bad boy, but I like it."

"It is indeed feasible to buy Q coins, but instead of buying at a low price and selling at a high price, it is buying at a high price and selling at a low price."

Lin Yong was obviously a little puzzled: "Then why don't we just pay?"

Shen Lang smiled: "Sometimes losing money is also an art."

Soon, some merchants who specialize in buying Q coins appeared on the market. Unlike ordinary Q coin merchants who usually buy Q coins at a [-]% discount, these Q coin merchants buy Q coins at a high price of [-]% off.

For a time, all the Q coins remaining on the market were emptied by these Q coin merchants, and many Q coin merchants made a fortune because of this.

However, the stock of Q coins on the market is limited after all, and the [-]% off price cannot be directly recharged to obtain Q coins through some channels, so there is no profit, and only Q coins collected from netizens from various channels.

No matter what kind of business it is, as long as it involves making money, it will immediately attract a large number of people to do it.

Soon, the previous Q coin merchants set their sights on QQ doctor, and they can receive 20 Q coins for downloading. Although in order to restrict users from repeatedly downloading and receiving Q coins, Penguin has made certain protective measures. After users receive Q coins, the IP address It will be locked. In theory, an IP address can only receive Q coins once.

However, under the trend of profits, some Q coin merchants soon found a way to use technical means to modify the IP address to repeatedly obtain Q coins and make profits from it.

Of course, not all Q coin merchants are technical parties. Some Q coin merchants who do not understand technology and want to make money start to buy Q coins from netizens through their own connections. With a 20% profit, this deal is a huge profit, right?

In the beginning, many Q-coin merchants were just playing tricks, fearing that the new Q-coin merchants would not accept them, but later they found that these people would always come and spend a lot of money, so they became more and more courageous.

Where there is a demand, there will be a market. Soon, more and more netizens discovered this way to make a fortune and began to join in this carnival of making money.

However, the data fed back to the QQ doctor team is getting better day by day. Neither the team leader nor Xiao Ma has found any abnormalities in it. They just think that their tactic of throwing coins and bundling downloads has worked.

Moreover, this wave of operations has indeed brought some real users to Doctor QQ. Many times, they are not afraid of completely false data, but half-truth and half-false data. He also acquiesced in this kind of behavior. In his opinion, as long as he can grab users from 360 security guards, the money is worth the money.

Q coins are the official recharge currency of Penguin, but the price has always been very strong. Penguin even planned to use Q coins to settle wages for employees.

At this time, Penguin’s Tenpay was basically unused, and Q coins accounted for more than 70% of Penguin’s funding sources. In Penguin’s entire system, Q coins played an extremely important role.

But these are meaningless to Q coin merchants, they only value money, as long as there is profit, they will buy Q coins in large quantities.

And as long as someone buys it, someone will try their best to get Q coins to sell, which forms an industrial chain, and in order not to be found out by Penguin officials, people in this industry chain will consciously keep secrets, many Q coins The businessman also specially set up a special YY group to avoid being discovered by penguins.

"This money is so fucking easy to make. I sold more than 2 Q coins in one day yesterday and made a net profit of more than 1. Haha, if this business can continue, it will not be a problem to earn several million this year."

"Hey, why is your profit so high, kid? Did you do it yourself? I worked so hard to collect more than 3 Q coins, and only made a few thousand dollars."

"If you think about it too much, this business will definitely not last long. Taking advantage of this wave of good market, you can make a little bit."

"Tell me, who is this group of people who collect Q coins? [-]% off and such a large amount of purchases, I'm afraid they haven't died before?"

"It doesn't matter who they are, why bother with that idleness? As long as we can make money."

"That's right, let's not talk about it, I'm going to move bricks."

In this way, one month later, the QQ doctor project team finally noticed something was wrong. In just one month, they sent out nearly 5 million Q coins. It stands to reason that there should be 2000 million users, enough to pose a real threat to 360 security guards. up.

However, not only has 360 Security Guard not taken any decent measures, but QQ Doctor’s user growth curve seems to be a bit weird, with a large number of users downloading every day, not only not slowing down, but increasing.

It stands to reason that 360 security guards have been working for so long, and users still have a certain degree of loyalty. 20Q coins are not a huge sum of money, and it is not enough to make so many users give up 360 security guards.

After some investigations, the QQ doctor team finally discovered that someone was using their loopholes to swipe Q coins, and the person in charge was so frightened that he hurriedly reported to Xiao Ma.

Brother Xiao Ma didn't take it too seriously at first, thinking that it was just like a bug in the game, and it would be fine if it was fixed.

However, when he learned that someone in the market was buying Q coins at a high price, his expression changed instantly.

"How many Q coins do you expect those people to hold?"

The person in charge of Doctor QQ faltered: "Estimated, conservatively estimated, there must be [-]-[-] million Q coins."

Brother Xiao Ma's face changed drastically when he heard that, he walked up and down the office restlessly, and said with a gloomy expression.

"Immediately cancel the activity of downloading and giving Q coins!"

The person in charge of the QQ doctor left as if fleeing, and Brother Xiao Ma's face became more and more gloomy. He didn't quite understand the motives of those Q coin merchants buying Q coins at a [-]% discount, but an ominous premonition began to linger in his mind. Things are definitely not that simple.

QQ Doctor canceled the activity of downloading and receiving Q coins, and the daily user growth data suddenly fell from heaven to hell.

Moreover, those Q-coin merchants finally found a way to make money, so they were cut off. Naturally, they were not reconciled, so they began to sneer at QQ doctors on the Internet.

"Spicy chicken software, if you don't watch the download and get Q coins, who would use it?"

"That is to say, if you have the ability, keep giving it away. If you don't give it away for a while, be stingy."

"What kind of broken software, I downloaded it after hearing from friends that I was given Q coins, but now I don't give it away, liar!"

Not only Q coin merchants, many netizens also started to complain when they heard that there was an activity of downloading and giving Q coins before.

In Shen Lang's office, Lin Yong took a sip from his teacup and reported the situation to Shen Lang.

"Mr. Shen, it seems that Penguin should have found a problem. Should we act immediately?"

Shen Lang turned the boss chair, turned to the window, and leisurely took a sip from his teacup: "Well, it's time to close the net too."

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma, you have to be able to accept this generous gift of hundreds of millions!"

Lin Yong couldn't help teasing when he heard the words: "Mr. Shen, you said, if we lose money and help Mr. Ma sell Q coins like this, does he have to thank us?"

"Ha ha."

Soon, the Q coin market took a sharp turn for the worse. Merchants who bought Q coins at high prices stopped, and a batch of Q coins with extremely low prices appeared on the Internet, and the recharge price was often as low as [-]% off.

At the beginning, many netizens didn’t believe it and thought they were scammers. However, soon some netizens broke the news that these [-]% off Q coins are real, and there are also a lot of positive comments about the successful recharge of Q coins in the comment area of ​​these products.

Some users bought tens of dollars with the attitude of giving it a try, and found that not only is it true, but also the recharge is very fast. After payment, the QQ account that needs to be recharged will be sent to the customer service in less than 5 minutes That's it.

Most of QQ's users are young people, especially the student party. They often have little money in their pockets, and some even skip breakfast in order to recharge various diamond memberships, and go to class hungry.

The [-]% off Q coins are undoubtedly very attractive to them. Basically, once a student knows about it, the whole class knows about it, and the speed of transmission is extremely fast.

Soon, the news that a large number of Q coins only need [-]% discount began to spread among the QQ user groups. At the beginning, it was only a secret known to a few people. As the news spread, it became known to everyone in just a few days. .

This caused two phenomena. On the one hand, many QQ users recharged a large number of low-discount Q coins, and even attracted some users who had never recharged before, and couldn't help recharging Q coins.

On the one hand, many players who have just recharged Q coins shouted that they were cheated, thinking that Penguin did not notify in advance when it was offering such a big discount. Isn’t this clearly cutting them off?

Brother Xiaoma felt cold hands and feet when he saw this investigation report. He can be 100% sure that the method of buying at a high price and then selling it at a low price must be written by Shen Lang.

His purpose is self-evident, which is to destroy the value system of Q coins.

Any form of currency is essentially worthless, and what really supports the value of currency is actually confidence.

Once market confidence collapses, Q coins will naturally be worthless.

Zhang Zhidong was also shocked. He knew very well the importance of the Q currency system to Penguins. Once the Q currency depreciated, their revenue would also shrink significantly.

"This is too ruthless, too vile!"

Brother Xiao Ma squeezed out a wry smile that was uglier than crying.

"It's really sloppy, but it works, I was careless, and that kid named Shen took advantage of the loophole!"

Zhang Zhidong gritted his teeth and said, "We have to find a way to remedy it quickly, or we will be in trouble."

Brother Xiao Ma fell into deep thought when he heard the words, and immediately made a decision.

"Up to now, people can only buy a large number of Q coins on the market, and buy back all the low-priced Q coins on the market!"

This scene made Zhang Zhidong feel very ironic. They issued the Q coins, and now they have to spend money to buy them back.

However, this seems to be the only way to do it right now.

However, Zhang Zhidong soon discovered that things were not as simple as they imagined. Those online stores that sell Q coins have set purchase restrictions, and only sell a part of low-priced Q coins every day. Top up once.

Brother Xiao Ma was so angry that he almost smashed his computer. Isn't this obviously going to drag down the price of Q coins?

"How about we call the police?" Zhang Zhidong suggested.

Brother Xiao Ma waved his hand a little dejectedly: "It's useless, people buy at a high price and sell at a low price. There is no profit-making behavior. Instead, they are selling Q coins for us at a loss. They just need to do an event to attract traffic. That's enough to clear yourself up."

The most damaging part of this trick is that as long as there are low-priced Q coins on sale, no one will recharge the original price of Q coins at all. Here, whenever consumers have the urge to recharge, they will subconsciously feel that it is not worth it.
