Great country technology, I have a system where hard work pays off!

"Let's drop the lawsuit and reach a settlement agreement. Anyway, we wouldn't be able to get much compensation even if we continue the lawsuit."

Penguin Company's general manager, Liu Zhiping, said what was most in line with Penguin Company's current interests.

After all, continuing the lawsuit wouldn't result in a large amount of compensation because the internet laws aren't very sound.

Referring to other companies' internet lawsuit cases, even if they won, they would only receive tens of thousands in compensation, and the profit would probably not even be as much as the lawyer fees.

So continuing the lawsuit and continuing to stir up the heat would only, as it is now, constantly bring Geek Computer Company a continuous stream of exposure.

Ultimately, this would bring them new customers for their products, giving Geek Computer Company free advertising, so they couldn't continue the lawsuit!

However, this matter ultimately had to be decided by Ma Huateng, the chairman, so Liu Zhiping turned his gaze to Ma Huateng.

"Then let's withdraw it."

After hesitating for a while, Ma Huateng still made the decision that best suited Penguin Company's current interests.

After all, he also knew that continuing the lawsuit would ultimately be a loss for Penguin Company.

On the other side, at Geek Computer Company headquarters.

At this time, Geek Computer Company was also holding a meeting, sharing the performance of Geek Computer Company in the past week.

"Boss, Penguin Company is preparing to withdraw the lawsuit!"

Tang Yuanzhi, the legal director who had just gone out to answer the phone and then quickly returned, said with a happy face.

"Oh?"

Hearing Tang Yuanzhi's words, Gao Nian's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and then he felt a pang of regret in his heart.

"It seems we have no way to continue getting free advertising."

Hearing Gao Nian's regretful words, the conference room burst into laughter.

"Boss, don't keep mocking them, continuing to mock Penguin Company will really make them vomit blood."

Hearing this, Gao Nian couldn't help but smile wryly.

It must be said that the results achieved by Geek Computer Company this time were indeed quite impressive.

Through the events of this week, Gao Nian had a new understanding of 'black publicity is also publicity'.

Shaking his head slightly, Gao Nian refocused his attention on the conference room, and then said with a solemn expression:

"We have indeed achieved quite impressive results in this week, but we cannot ignore the fact that our foundation is weak.

For example, the monthly active users of our Geek Chat software have indeed exceeded 50 million, and the number of online users is as high as 20 million, only 10 million less than QQ.

But ask yourselves, when users want to chat, are they really using our Geek Chat?

No, their first priority is still QQ, because habits are not so easy to change, and many QQ users still haven't used Geek Computer Company's products, which also means they don't have a 'Geek One Account'.

In this case, other users have to use QQ to chat with them in order to contact them, instead of using Geek Chat to chat.

In addition, the reason why our peak concurrent users can reach 20 million is more than 80% due to the forced promotion by Geek Computer Security Manager.

This means that our foundation is very weak, because many people's Geek Chat friend lists are empty or have only a few Geek friends.

This also means that their chat focus has not yet shifted and is still on QQ.

So our 20 million concurrent users are largely inflated, and it would be good if 10 million people actually use Geek Chat software to chat.

Therefore, we cannot be complacent and arrogant, we still have to work hard, and we still have to find a way to defeat Penguin Company.

Only when our concurrent users completely crush QQ can we be considered truly successful!"

"Clap clap clap clap — — .. "

Hearing Gao Nian's words, the company's senior and middle management all enthusiastically applauded.

It must be said that through Gao Nian's words, the arrogance and complacency that had just been born in the hearts of many middle and senior-level employees in the company was dispelled.

After all, what Gao Nian said was indeed the truth. Their data was very impressive, but it was too inflated, and they couldn't be complacent and arrogant lest they crash.

"Boss, there is one thing I think I should say."

At this time, Li Jun, the company's software business manager, suddenly stood up.

"Speak."

Gao Nian signaled that Li Jun could speak directly.

Seeing this, Li Jun took a deep breath and said:

"Whether it's desktop computers or internet products, we have achieved great performance growth.

But there is one thing that we are in a state of negative growth, and that is Geek Internet Cafe Management Software!"

"Geek Internet Cafe Management Software?"

Hearing this, the people present suddenly looked at Li Jun in unison.

After all, recently Geek Computer Company's business focus has been on the game business and Geek Chat.

Consequently, the attention to Geek desktop computers and Geek Internet Cafe Management Software has also been greatly reduced.

Hearing Li Jun's words at this time, did the Geek Internet Cafe Management Software business encounter great pressure?

"Since Penguin Company acquired Wanjie Internet Cafe Management Software Company, they have spent a lot of money to hire nearly ten thousand people.

Then they installed and popularized their Penguin Wanjie Internet Cafe Management Software and Shenchuan diskless server combination in internet cafes all over the country."

In a month and a half, their current market share has reached an astonishing 30%!

And during this time, our market share has only increased to 50%.

If this trend continues, then in the future we can only eat half of the market share, and Penguin Wanjie Internet Cafe Management Software will account for 45%!

"Penguin Company is so willing to spend money?!"

Gao Peng, who is in charge of Geek's game business, couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this.

"They hired tens of thousands of people, Penguin Company is really willing to spend money."

Ni Guanghai, the director of the technology research and development department, couldn't help but smack his tongue.

After all, tens of thousands of people are not a small number. As the saying goes, when there are thousands of people, they are all over the mountains and plains, and when there are tens of thousands of people, it is boundless.

"55% of the market share is not acceptable to us."

Gao Nian shook his head slightly, and began to think deeply, and soon gritted his teeth and said:

"Since they are willing to spend money, then we can't fall behind."

Speaking of this, Gao Nian's eyes narrowed and said:

"Let's launch the 'Internet Cafe Advertising Alliance' plan. We will directly divide a portion of the advertising fees for all internet cafe computers to the local internet cafes.

Let the internet cafe owners realize that installing Geek Internet Cafe Management Software is not only free, but also can make money!"

"Internet Cafe Advertising Alliance Plan?!"

The people present all looked at Gao Nian in unison.

They didn't expect Gao Nian to be able to think of such an idea, it can only be said that Gao Nian is indeed Gao Nian?

"But in this way, we will inevitably have to reduce the share of our own product's advertising, right?"

Li Jun couldn't help but express his opinion.

In response, Gao Nian shook his head slightly and said:

"Reducing the share of advertising is inevitable, because internet cafe customers will feel disgusted and repulsed when they always see advertising for one product."
