Wanxiang Technology Company has a total of three floors of office areas, and the current company's three-story office area still has a lot of vacant workstations.
However, in order to separate the business in his hands, Xu Cong rented an additional floor as the office location of the new company.
"The company's name is 460 Network Company!"
Xu Cong is already familiar with founding a company, and spent 10 million to register a new Internet company.
To be honest, Xu Cong named the new company 460 Company with some bad taste.
There was a time in his previous life when Xu Cong was obsessed with mobile games, but during the process of mobile games, he often encountered 460 situations, which also made Xu Cong deeply impressed by the number "460".
At the same time, Zhou Hongyi, the red-clothed leader of this plane, has not yet founded the famous 360 Internet company. Xu Cong named 460 because he was preparing to dig a hole for 360.
The registration of the company is very simple, and now Chen and fifteen other technical staff have officially become employees of this new company.
As for office supplies and computers, just move them directly from Chen Tong’s basement.
After all, these people are professional technicians, and their computers and operating equipment are their bread and butter.
Of course, in order to allow these guys to work with peace of mind, Xu Cong also paid a salary of 3 million in advance to stabilize the hearts of Chen Tong's team.
"I hope to establish a corresponding network server security system."
"I guess you should have learned some basic knowledge about network security when you were learning hacking techniques. I also have some information here. You can study more when the time comes. I believe that with your basic knowledge, you should be able to do this job quickly!"<
/p>
"In addition, I also hope that when you take the time, you can make an anti-virus software for most viruses on the market!"
Xu Cong’s requirements and tasks for Chen Tong’s team are actually areas that Chen Tong’s team is good at.
By making the best use of resources and making the best use of people's talents, Xu Cong believes that they can exert their true strength in such positions.
"Chen Tong, I know you also have the contact information of some other professionals. You can contact them to see if they are willing to join 460. If they are willing to join 460, the corresponding salary will not be unfair to them!"p>
Looking at the now somewhat empty office area, Xu Cong looked at Chen Tong aside.
As Chen Tong, who has been in the hacker circle for so many years, he naturally has connections in the corresponding fields.
These unorganized talents who blend into the gray area are the best targets for companies to recruit now, and relying on Chen Tong's connections, they can recruit these people into 460 Company.
Chen Tong was very satisfied with Xu Cong's current arrangements. Looking at such a comfortable office environment, he also felt that his life had changed.
Now Chen Tong is no longer the leader of this hacker group, but the project manager of 460 Network Company, responsible for the current network security system and various businesses of the company.
"Don't worry! Boss, I have a lot of acquaintances here. I will contact these people and try to recruit them into the company!"
Chen Tong has fully recognized Xu Cong as his boss, and also said that he will try his best to attract more talents to the company.
After arranging Chen Tong and his group, Xu Cong has given his company some ability to protect itself.
Of course, renting a server is not one of the safest ways. Only servers with an independent security system can ensure the security of the company's data and business.
Now Xu Cong is also looking for server sellers.
However, there are too few domestic suppliers for today's ultra-large servers, and these servers may not be available with Xu Cong's current influence.
460 company was officially established.
Of course, Chen Tong’s team also left some legacy problems for the current Wanxiang Technology.
Games such as Vientiane Chat and Fantasy Westward Journey were suspended for half a day, which also caused complaints from some users.
Some users were suddenly forced offline at the most critical time while playing games or transferring files, which also slightly damaged the reputation of Wanxiang Technology.
Fortunately, the problem only occurred for half a day, allowing Wanxiang Technology to take certain remedial measures.
In order to calm the complaints of current users, Wanxiang Technology has prepared a compensation of five Wanxiang coins for users who were forced to go offline to make this matter temporarily over.
In October, the third version of Vientiane Chat was updated.
There are not many updates in this version, but it adds a very important feature.
Space function!
Users can post their own photos or corresponding comments in the space.
The user's friends can see these contents in the space.
The social attributes are directly filled up.
This has also led many young male and female users to start taking selfies with cameras in Internet cafes and post their selfies to the space.
At the same time, Wanxiang Space can also customize the background and music, which also allows more netizens to start decorating their own space carefully.
The emergence of Wanxiang Space instantly increased the popularity of Wanxiang Chat, making Wanxiang Chat instantly become the first social application for young people.
Even some primary and middle school students have registered their own Wanxiang Chat accounts, making Wanxiang Chat directly become a national-level application.
"There are more than 80 million registered users of Wanxiang Chat, and more than 32 million daily active users!"
"Wanxiang Chat, China's national-level chat and social application!"
With the update of the third version, Wanxiang Chat has officially reached the top in the field of social applications, and has become the most popular application in the entire social field with absolute overwhelming attitude.
Compared with the current Penguin Chat, which has more than four million daily active users every day, Wanxiang Chat has become the choice of the vast majority of today's users with an absolutely crushing attitude.
Inside Penguin Company, looking at Wanxiang Chat, which has now completely reached the top in the social field, the faces of many executives in Penguin Company's conference room are not particularly good.
Since Vientiane Chat ushered in the second version update, Penguin Chat’s daily active users have been declining day by day.
Compared with a year ago, the current daily active users of Penguin Chat have shrunk by more than half.
It only took the Wanxiang Chat app less than ten months to successfully surpass Penguin Chat.
In just ten months, Wanxiang Chat has accomplished what Penguin Chat has not accomplished in five years.
Although they are lamenting the achievements of Wanxiang Chat, and even almost outperforming Penguin Chat in terms of social application chat, Penguin's internal senior management did not panic too much.
Although Penguin Chat is gradually declining, Penguin Technology's revenue has been rising day by day in the past few months.
You must know that Penguin's annual revenue last year was only 3 million, and the company's net profit after excluding corresponding costs was only tens of thousands.
From June to October, the company's revenue in these months has reached 10 million. Compared with the cost expenditure, the company's net profit has also successfully exceeded 5 million.
Obviously, making money from social applications is not as fast as online games.
This is also the common understanding of all Penguin executives.
At this time, Brother Ma was sitting in the middle of the conference room, with his head lowered and not knowing what he was thinking about.
Brother Ma vaguely remembers that he founded Penguin Company just to make the best social application in China and even the world.
This is his dream!
But now the dream seems to have been shattered.
How much is a dream worth? Making money is the best way for a company to survive now.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ma felt that he still had to face reality.
Today's Penguin Company is no longer just his Penguin Company, but now he also has to face a group of shareholders and investors behind the company.
Only letting the company survive and prospering is what he needs to consider now.
"Some employees of the Penguin Chat project team are temporarily transferred to the online game department. From now on, our company's focus will gradually shift to online games!"
"As for Penguin Chat, just update it normally. If there are any functions that you can learn from from Wanxiang Chat, just learn from it!"
Brother Xiao Ma slowly raised his head, looked at the company's senior management and said.
Obviously, Xiao Ma has begun to gradually allow the development of Penguin Chat, and has completely shifted the company's focus to online games.
Although Penguin Chat is an important business of the company, with the current changes in the situation, this business only needs to ensure that it still exists.
Only online games can bring more profits to the company and allow the company to continue to develop.
Use all your energy to do Penguin Chat, and then go head-to-head with Wanxiang Chat. In the end, it is very likely that you will suffer huge losses.
In this case, it is better to choose to flexibly change the company's business so that the company can adapt to the development trend of the current Internet era.
"Mr. Ma, we have recently contacted several major game companies in Bangzi Country. There are many games there that can be licensed to us, but the price may be a bit expensive!"
The person in charge of the online game department on the side was watching Brother Xiao Ma speak out the next development plan for the online game department.
On the one hand, Penguin is now learning from some popular domestic games and beginning to design some games with similar gameplay.
However, this kind of reference still requires some time and energy. After all, some changes must be made in the code and modeling to prevent an opportunity for explanation in certain disputes.
In addition, they began to introduce games from foreign online game companies and became domestic agents for these games.
Basically, most domestic games now use agents, such as Shengda Legend, which was extremely popular in the past.
These foreign games have basically become popular in China, which can also reduce the corresponding trial and error costs of domestic agents.
Chapter completed!
