Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 331 "Battle of Chibi" on the social track

Yanjing, and Qiao Building.

The background wall of the original front desk of 3721 was replaced with the logo and brand of Yahoo Huaxia. Other than that, everything remained the same.

However, in the 3721 office area, there is an additional team from the former Yahoo Huaxia, who are alienated from each other and have no contact with each other.

"Did you make a mistake!"

Lin Shaoan glanced at the 3721 employees across the aisle, and said dissatisfiedly: "Whether we bought 3721 or 3721 bought us, why did you let us move here from China Resources Building?"

"Shh, be quiet."

He Yun put his hand between his lips, "Be patient, they have more than 200 people, we only have more than 50 people, it is more convenient for us to move."

Lin Shaoan curled his lips, "Whoever has the most will let whoever? We, Yahoo, are the acquirer. We were the leader before the integration, but after the integration, what the hell, there are four or five of us riding on our heads."

The corners of He Yun's mouth twitched downwards, "Don't say a few complaints, and forget that Mr. Zhou said that if you don't obey, you will get out."

"Tch, barbarian, many people in the headquarters are not happy with him."

Lin Shaoan's tone was bitter, and suddenly Zhou Hongyi's voice came from behind:
"He Yun, come in."

"good luck."

He Yun put down his coffee and walked straight into the CEO's office.

I thought I would ask about the press conference, but I didn't expect that the Yahoo portal's channel would be cut off, leaving only real estate, cars, entertainment, and sports.

"What, do you have any comments?"

Zhou Hongyi put on an air of not being able to refuse.

He Yun frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, this change is too bold and aggressive. I need to ask the headquarters for instructions."

"Did I ask you to ask for instructions? I am the president."

Zhou Hongyi said with a straight face, "Changing it according to my wishes."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I can't do it."

He Yun defied the military order and said: "The portal is the core of Yahoo's China strategy. Any major changes must be made to the headquarters, and only after the request is approved can we start."

"Ask for instructions? Hehe, it's no wonder that Yahoo can't beat the 4 major portals. If you rely on asking for instructions to fight a war, you don't even want to catch up with any dish!"

Zhou Hongyi smiled contemptuously: "Let's execute it. I want to invest all the limited resources saved in search, Yahoo Messenger, and the IM alliance."

He Yundao: "Mr. Zhou, if the higher-ups investigate..."

Zhou Hongyi interrupted: "He Yun, let me ask you a question, who is the president of Yahoo China?"

"It's you."

"Speak up and say your name."

"Report, the president of Yahoo China is Zhou Hongyi!"

"That's the end of it. Whether you accept it or not, hold it back. I'm the president, so listen to me."

Zhou Hongyi's tone was tough and unquestionable.

Then he glanced at his watch, and it was almost time for the press conference to start, so he immediately called out to the master, and went downstairs to the venue in a hurry.

The media sat in the first three rows, with long guns and short guns aimed at the stage.

All the people from MSN Huaxia were present and sat on the stage. The head manager, Luo Chuan, stretched out his hand, as if looking forward to his comrades fighting side by side, full of enthusiasm:

"I hope we can cooperate happily and fight against penguins together."

Zhou Hongyi smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, the word 'anti' is not appropriate. What if Penguin also joins our IM alliance?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Luo Chuan talked about the fiasco of the first Anti-Penguin Alliance army as someone who had experienced it, and reminded him to guard against Master Lu's sneak attack.

"Mr. Luo, don't worry, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I have a backup."

Zhou Hongyi showed a mysterious smile, then cleared his throat into the microphone, and said, "Let's get started."

In an instant, the audience was silent, only the sound of snapping pictures.

"Today, Yahoo and Microsoft, we are here to announce a 'landmark agreement', MSN and Yahoo! Messenger will achieve the industry's first interoperability...

The IM alliance is expected to become the largest instant messaging community in the world, together occupying 38% of the global market share, and the total number of people will exceed 2.75 million, nearly half of the world. "

"Mr. Zhou, is the other half a penguin?"

The reporter suddenly asked a question and interrupted, which was obviously arranged deliberately.

"That's right! Penguins accounted for more than half the share."

Zhou Hongyi looked sincere: "So I appeal to other IM manufacturers in the industry, especially please tell Mr. Lu Fei and Mr. Lu Huateng that I am willing to discuss IM alliance with them at any time and any place.

I hope they don't only care about their own interests and go against the trend, but follow the general trend of interconnection and think about the Internet users! "

"boom!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and the eyes of the media glowed, like sharks smelling blood, no matter how stupid they were, they could still tell.

Zhou Hongyi stood on the moral high ground and challenged Lu Fei:
Is it war or cooperation?

The media and experts who had received the money ran at full speed after the press conference, and immediately rushed to produce reports and comments one after another, applauding the cooperation between Yahoo! Messenger and MSN, and boasting about the Internet.

"The IM products of the two major IT giants in the world are interconnected on a global scale. Can QQ, the pompous little penguin, continue to be pompous?"

"IM open alliance, end QQ monopoly!"

"Since its birth in 1999, the accumulated registered users of QQ have exceeded 4 million. In China's instant messaging field, penguins dominate the world, but the world's affairs, long-term division must be united, and long-term union must be divided. The future world is an open world..."

"Zhou Hongyi shouted to Lu Fei: 'The world is flat', let's start with 'instant messaging tools are flat', please join the IM alliance with QQ, and build a global village together!"

"........."

Netizens on the Internet all support and agree with both hands.

Nowadays, every computer needs to install at least two or three of MSN, QQ, and Yahoo Messenger, and each software needs to be logged in, which takes time to run and time.

If all instant messaging software are interconnected, for example, MSN can directly send text messages and transfer files to QQ.

Then, netizens only need one piece of software.

The turbulent public opinion aroused by the joint efforts of MSN and Yahoo pushed Penguin to the forefront.

"President Lu, his heart can be punished! His heart can be punished!"

When Zeng Liqing saw Zhou Hongyi's high-sounding "interconnection and interconnection", he was very angry.

"It's pretty ugly, but it's beautiful when you think about it."

Lu Fei squinted his eyes, murderous.

Penguin’s strength is not in social interaction, but it’s superficial. It’s strong in traffic, with QQ, and in the future, there will be traffic gathered by WeChat. Penguin is equivalent to controlling the reservoir that stores and releases water, and distributes traffic at will.

And interconnection is to blow up the reservoir into a lake.

QQ has become a public traffic supply pool, and all companies can pump water and pour traffic into their own products for free.

"Mr. Lu."

Zeng Liqing frowned and said, "Now the media and public opinion want us to respond to Zhou Hongyi, how should we respond?"

"What's your opinion?" Lu Fei asked.

"QQ's users and traffic are the result of our hard work and burning money. Why should an interconnection be unconditionally opened up and let MSN and Yahoo Tong use it for nothing? There is no reason for that."

Zeng Liqing was resolute and refused to die.

"How much share does Yahoo Messenger and MSN have in China?"

Lu Fei rubbed his chin, but didn't answer directly.

Zeng Liqing sneered: "After MSN is defeated by us, there is only 2.7% left, which is only 0.3% more than ICQ. That's why it got involved with Yahoo Messenger. It's a desperate fight."

"Just like that?"

Lu Fei rolled his eyes: "Where's Yahoo Messenger?"

"4.2%, Zhou Hongyi is importing Yisou, 3721, and Yahoo search site traffic into Yahoo Messenger, and it is estimated that there will be 6% or 7% in the end."

Zeng Liqing sighed with emotion: "It is simply the Battle of Chibi, where the Wu and Shu allied forces fought against Wei."

"The Battle of Chibi? This is not auspicious, and it is not right. Now it is obvious that Shu sent troops to attack Wei, and Zhou Hongyi thinks he is Guan Yu."

Lu Fei raised his lips, "I just don't know if Sun Wu, Microsoft, will backstab Yahoo."

"Backstab, won't it?"

"Don't be so sure. The United States doesn't backstab its allies once or twice. Why can't Microsoft come here once?"

"Boss Lu, what should we do?" Zeng Liqing's eyes lit up.

"Not urgent."

Lu Fei embraced his arms, "I've thought about it for a long time, but I haven't figured out why Zhou Hongyi did this? Just for the little traffic on Yahoo!, is it necessary to fight to the death with me?"

"President Lu, maybe I know."

Zeng Liqing truthfully reported the gossip he found out.

When Yahoo bought 3721, it did not pay Zhou Hongyi and 3721 shareholders in full, but only paid 50%, and the remaining 50% was for Zhou Hongyi to complete the specified net profit.

In the first year, the net profit of 1000 million US dollars is 25%.

In the second year, 2500% of the net profit of 25 million US dollars will be given.

Two years, paid in installments.

"No wonder you're so insane, it turns out you signed a VAM agreement."

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk: "Then my third step will be more leisurely."

Zeng Liqing said: "Boss Lu, what should we do?"

Lu Fei said: "Do you still remember how to challenge MSN?"

"It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers."

Zeng Liqing nodded: "That time it was Lianzhong, this time MSN?"

"MSN, if I keep it useful, I will do Yahoo. Sometimes the persimmons have to be picked softly, and sometimes the rafters in the early years have to rot first."

Lu Fei smiled coldly. In addition to a series of routine operations of the public relations media, the public beta of "Audition" was inexplicably brought forward to this weekend.

"The launch of Audition has something to do with this?"

Zeng Liqing was in a daze, unable to figure it out at all, but seeing a mysterious smirk at the corner of his mouth, he was determined.

"Of course it's related! And it's very important. Remember that the promotion of the game must be closely followed and not slack."

"I'll take care of it in a while, but Mr. Lu, you haven't said exactly how we should answer Zhou Hongyi."

"It's impossible to promise. We are not saints, and we can't do things that harm ourselves and benefit others."

"But we don't agree, and the netizens don't agree! Zhou Hongyi must have bought the media and waited for us. He will add insult to injury, make Penguin bad, and let users flow to Yahoo Messenger."

Zeng Liqing was in a dilemma, "It's hard to say yes or no, it's a blatant conspiracy."

"Then let's not take the offer and let others talk first."

Lu Fei sent a text message to Ding Sanshi, then made a long-distance call, and immediately said:
"Ballmer, MSN Huaxia is too rude!"
