The office was eerily quiet.

So much so that Xiao Ma could clearly hear the sound of the mechanical watch on his wrist turning, like a heartbeat.

Every second is suffering.

Since the "Letter to QQ Users" was sent out in the form of a pop-up window, he has been quietly staying in the office waiting for reactions from all parties.

Except for Zhang Long, everyone else among the senior management of the group was blocked by the secretary.

"There is news."

Zhang Long, who was always staring at the screen of his mobile phone, suddenly looked up: "The advertising push for all the products in Zhou Hongyi's hands suddenly changed to the WeChat PC version, focusing on office application scenarios."

"I didn't expect it. The high school student jumped out first. His reaction was really fast. It's only been less than four hours."

Xiao Ma's expression suddenly relaxed.

It seems that the cooperation between Luo Hui and Zhou Hongyi was expected.

"This guy is not only a programming genius, but also a business genius. If you look at his tactics to promote WeChat, you will know that he is best at chasing hot events like this. Save money, be efficient, and refuse to accept it."

Zhang Long smiled bitterly.

I love and fear this sudden rise of competitors.

Brother Ma raised his lips slightly: "Look at the official websites of both parties. Have you reached any strategic cooperation agreement or anything like that?"

"I have seen it, and there is no sign of cooperation. It seems that WeChat is just using Zhou Hongyi's platform to advertise and take the opportunity to compete for QQ's user base."

"Pity."

"What? You still expect them to cooperate?"

"Although Zhou Hongyi's free anti-virus software is very powerful, it has left a very bad impression on netizens because of its background as a rogue software and its disgusting advertisements. It would be much easier for us to fight against such people if WeChat was tied to them. "

"You used your killing move in advance to deal with WeChat?"

"if not?"

"That's right. If we can't grab the meat in Zhou Hongyi's bowl, we won't lose anything. It's just a waste of money and time. Losing the user base to WeChat is the biggest trouble."

"I'll keep an eye on Jack Ma. You keep an eye on the other giants and see what they do."

"..."

After half an hour.

Zhang Long stood up with his cell phone and approached his boss's desk: "WeChat has updated the emoticon pack again, called the Pandaren series, and it looks silly."

???

Xiao Ma's head was full of questions and he pushed up his lenses to take a closer look.

But I saw one after another sand sculpture Pandaren emoticons with different shapes: "What kind of fighting method is this?"

"Is it used to strengthen user stickiness? It looks fun."

"Fun? Is it fun there?"

"Of course it doesn't mean anything if you think so. I'll send you a WeChat message and you can receive it."

Zhang Long doesn't talk nonsense either.

He directly took back his phone and operated it. After a while, Xiao Ma's phone dinged and received a panda-man emoticon from Zhang Xiang with an eye-catching look on it. The picture was also marked with two big characters: Awkward smile.

"Is this meant to be awkward but not rude?"

Xiao Ma couldn't help but smile. He couldn't help but open the WeChat emoticon package and choose a picture of a panda holding a paper fan with a sullen expression to fight back.

Written on the paper fan are two large characters in regular script: Excellent!

Zhang Long quickly replied to the Pandaren emoji: Abba Abba.

Xiao Ma replied to the Pandaman emoji: You make me look stupid.

……

Two bosses, are you possessed?
Watching the two big guys go back and forth to play with each other, their expressions became more and more relaxed, and there was no trace of the previous depression. The secretary said: I am also very curious.

Is this panda expression pack so fun?
Do you want to take me to play?
Fortunately, the secretary was not so courageous and could only watch the computer screen in front of him, always paying attention to the movements of the major Internet giants.

soon.

He had an excuse to interrupt the boss's game of fighting: "Zhou Hongyi updated his Weibo. He said... that this is his battle with the monopoly group, and the fight against Big Mac is the monopoly group."

"Monopolize Hammer, ignore him and keep an eye on the other companies."

Brother Ma casually replied to his secretary without raising his head, and then selected a panda expression pack and sent it to Zhang Long: Don't force your father!
Zhang Long responded: If you scold me, you are finished. You can't find a partner in two years.

Brother Ma responded again: God has showered wisdom on the world, but you are the only one who holds the umbrella.

Zhang Long hit back: You are restraining your love for me, right?

……

Damn it, what time has it been, and you are still playing Dou Tu?
Forget it, you still use your competitors’ software and emoticons. Don’t you plan to support your own products?

The secretary was fooled by the sexy tricks of the two bosses.

The humble migrant worker has no right to speak. He can only continue to stick to the computer screen and continue to observe the movement.

No need to bother this time.

He soon saw that Luo Hui's personal Weibo account and WeChat official account posted blog posts almost at the same time: Come on, be happy, you have a lot of time anyway.

The content is to recommend information related to its own Panda expression pack.

He hesitated.

Duty overcame timidity, and I mustered up the courage to interrupt the simple happiness of the two bosses: "Mr. Luo and WeChat's official Weibo account have begun to promote Pandaren emoticons."

"Such a fun thing, of course it should... huh?"

Brother Xiao Ma noticed something was wrong and quickly put down his phone and turned to look at his secretary: "How long have I been playing with Zhang Gong?"

"47 minutes and 28 seconds." The secretary answered truthfully.Zhang Long was stunned: "Damn it, did you play for so long? Why do I feel like I just played for a few minutes?"

"Time killer!"

Brother Ma sighed with emotion and decisively uninstalled WeChat, determined never to touch this thing again.

So fucking addicting.

Fun!

"Mr. Ma, we should also create a silly and silly emoticon package. This thing is too sticky, and Fetion will die if it's too late."

Zhang Long also put away his phone, but did not uninstall WeChat.

He presides over the development of the Fetion project and must always pay attention to changes in competitors, and then...copy as much as he can, and learn as much as he can.

In short, don't be left too far behind.

"I guess this emoticon pack is the ultimate trick that high school student suppressed. We must not copy it, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

Brother Ma reminded him with lingering fear.

no way.

After facing the opponent WeChat, he felt restricted in every aspect and could not take advantage of Penguin Group's powerful resources.

No money can be spent on the tricks played by that high school student.

feels awful.

It's like facing aliens, there is no way to say anything.

QQ's experience in defeating many competitors in the past has no effect in the face of new competitors, but it actually means giving away people's lives.

Take this beating incident for example.

Originally, he thought he had caught Luo Hui's fatal flaw, which cost him advertising money and human resources, making the matter bigger and more popular.

Then... made wedding clothes for others.

The huge popularity and traffic turned into WeChat downloads under the huge reversal.

Just ask you, are you angry?
Fortunately, I am young and in great health.

A boss with higher blood pressure could go straight to the emergency department because of his anger.

"It's okay, the Pandaren theme can't be used. We can use the Penguin emoticon pack, just make it a little silly."

Zhang Long quickly thought of a countermeasure.

The largest traffic in the animal world is the panda, and the penguin is not weak either, and it matches the image of the Penguin Group better.

Hype, hype, should counter the Pandaren meme.

"Mr. Ma, Du Niang is over. Mr. Li made a statement and accused us of abusing our monopoly position, which will bring serious disaster to the domestic Internet landscape."

The secretary reported the new situation with trepidation.

"Fart! Who can monopolize Baidu more than Baidu?"

Brother Ma curled his lips disdainfully: "Ignore him, these Turtle Factions know how to talk nonsense and don't dare to leave. There is no need to report the statements of other Turtle Factions."

"A bunch of cowards."

"Keep an eye on Jackma more, I think he will be unwilling to be alone and wait for the opportunity to make some noise."

Mmmmmmm!
The secretary nodded repeatedly and continued to stare at the computer screen, switching pages frequently to check the reactions of various Internet bosses.

As a result, just after I settled down, something new happened: "Mr. Ma, 361 Software Manager has started to push the WeChat PC version."

"How much did the person named Zhou charge?"

Hearing WeChat again, Xiao Ma felt a little headache: "Are you deliberately disgusting me?"

secretary:"……"

Where can I find such confidential information?
How difficult it is!

Fortunately, Jack Ma’s statement can save the day: “Jack Ma has taken a stand. He said that competition among Internet companies should not harm user experience... WeChat’s emoticons are so fun that he can’t stop playing with them.”

"I..." Brother Ma couldn't help but complain.

In any case, Jack Ma is one of the major shareholders of WeChat, so it seems to be expected that he will personally bring traffic to the area.

Secretary: "Mr. Ding has also come to an end. He invited you to download WeChat and play DouTu together. He also said that DouTu is better than malicious business wars. At least it will not affect the user experience and you will gain a lot of happiness."

Oh day.

The man named Ding was originally a simple and honest man, but he learned bad things from Jack Ma and that high school student.

Now everyone knows that yin and yang are talking.

Brother Ma waved his hand impatiently and signaled to the secretary: I heard you.

Secretary: "Mr. Shi invited you to play Zhengtu. He said that his Zhengtu game has obtained the authorization for the Pandaren emoticon pack. You can play the game while competing for pictures and forget about the worries in the business field."

"He's really not a good person!"

Brother Ma looked up to the sky and sighed: "They are all masters of exploiting every opportunity. When they saw the traffic volume of this incident, they couldn't wait to go out and intercept it."

secretary:"……"

There are more unpleasant things I haven’t said yet.

Especially the comments from netizens are simply unsightly.

Listening to the conversation between the secretary and Brother Ma, Zhang Long was busy communicating on his cell phone.

After a while, he put down his phone and reported: "The losses were quite heavy. In just four hours, 2000 million users uninstalled QQ."

2000 million!
Hearing the approximate loss figure, Xiao Ma's liver trembled: "Don't panic, this is temporary, we can still get it back."

……

Compared to Xiao Ma, who had liver pain, Luo Hui smiled very heartlessly.

at this time.

He had already bid farewell to Zhou Hongyi and arrived at the Beijing Airport, preparing to transfer to the coastal area for vacation.

In the VIP lounge of the airport, Tian Chun held his laptop and said happily: "The number of downloads has increased again, and it has reached 2000 million."

"They are all PC version users."
