Shi Zhu is eager to compete with Jiangnan, fighting with Jiangnan in the most proud blind box market in Jiangnan, and at the same time feels that he can win steadily.

At the same time, in another market on the other side, QQ, which has been competing with Jiangnan for more than a year, is also brewing a Jedi counterattack.

"Boss, I am confident, but after our QQ group and QQ file transfer functions are launched at the same time, we will definitely be able to regain the market we lost!" Facing Brother Ma, Zhang Zhidong was confidently guaranteed.

Since the QQ level and OO level were released one after another, the two companies have not experienced fierce head competition for more than half a year, and they are operating the company smoothly.

This seems to be a good thing, but unlike Huang He who is proud of his country, who borrowed another $1 billion, made plans in the United States, and made a big contribution to the Huanghe Award, Brother Ma's life is quite difficult.

Because Masayoshi Son spent almost all the money invested, the entire QQ was in a state of no money available. If there were no new moves on OO, it would be that QQ had been dragged to death by financial pressure.

However, Brother Ma has not done anything in the past six months. In the past six months, he has been running around Beijing and Shenzhen. He has devoted half of his energy to Lianzhong Game Center, and has attracted traffic to Lianzhong Game Center through various methods, so that QQ and Lianzhong Games can be completely integrated.

Through various means, Lianzhong Games has stabilized. At the same time, the paid members of Lianzhong Games itself have also allowed QQ to finally have a certain amount of income. At least with the efforts of financial personnel, QQ magically turned losses into profits in the second half of the year, earning nearly 20 million yuan in funds. Masayoshi Son was very satisfied with it.

Of course, in fact, QQ is just barely maintaining a balance of income and expenditure, so QQ urgently needs new financing.

In fact, Brother Ma has been negotiating with more than a dozen investment companies, and QQ is about to launch a second round of financing. In order to raise more funds in this round of financing and launch a counterattack against OO, Brother Ma needs to make a Jedi counterattack on the front battlefield.

After all, although the total number of QQ users has increased over the past six months, the market share has declined significantly.

In early 2002, QQ occupied up to 93% of the entire instant messaging software market, making it a well-deserved king.

However, by the end of 2002, the market share had dropped to 51%, only 1% more users than OO. It may not take 2003 that this advantage would be completely lost.

More than 40% of the market was lost in a year, which was a complete defeat. So the capital market is actually not optimistic about QQ now. In addition, OO's parent company is so strong, so Tengda's second round of financing was very difficult, and Xiao Ma Ge really needs a huge victory.

However, Brother Ma has been ready for a long time. In the past six months, Tengda's technical department has not been a good person. With Zhang Zhidong's efforts and Brother Ma's strong support, Tengda's technical and operation departments have come up with two new sets of functions.

That is, QQ groups and QQ files.

These two functions seem to be extremely ordinary now. In 2002, they were definitely explosive ideas. After all, this was a feature that only appeared in 2005 in history. It was forced out in 2002. This shows how miserable Tengda and Xiao Ma were forced this time.

Brother Xiao Ma’s intention is very simple, which is to use the launch of QQ groups to regain popularity, increase market share again, and then better carry out the second round of financing, get more money, develop more functions, and fight with OO to the end.

Not to mention, QQ really took the lead this time. After a year and a half, they took back the initiative on the battlefield for the first time.

Three days after the QQ group and QQ file transfer functions were released, QQ excitedly announced that 100,000 new QQ groups were added overnight, and QQ files were sent more than 150,000 times, and user activity increased by 20%.

Indeed, QQ group and QQ file transfer are extremely important functions for an instant messaging software.

Once these two functions were launched, they really attracted a large number of users.

You should know that in the instant messaging software market, because of full competition, users do not only use QQ or OO. Most people choose to use both at the same time. When using the computer, they have two instant messaging software at the same time, so that they will not miss any friend's messages.

After all, when the market weights of the two software are almost exactly the same, the proportion of friends is the same, so everyone can only open two software at the same time to chat on a daily basis.

When the QQ group and QQ file transfer functions were launched, because these two functions were indeed very interesting and practical, a large number of users began to tend to QQ for a while, and the entire QQD data climaxed from a young age. After a year and a half of depressed, a sense of joy appeared at the same time.

What’s even more joyful is that Jiangnan had no reaction or response in the face of this situation, and they were completely caught off guard.

"QQ's recent offensive is very strong, we are already behind!" Huang He, who had finally idle for a while, received a report from Leng Zhimeng.

"It's all your fault. You CEO went to watch the game and threw all your work to others. It took three days to find out the news. Leng Zhimeng, how do you think I will punish you?" Huang He smashed the report in his hand on Leng Zhimeng's head.

"Whatever you want, I'm really wrong!" Leng Zhimeng said with a depressed look on her face. She was also very depressed. She has indeed been too addicted to competitions in recent days, so that she completely neglected work issues.

"Then I will punish you not to go to Korea to participate in WCG this time!" Huang He said with a smile.

"No, if you punish me like this, I will resign directly. You can become the CEO if you change to someone else!" Leng Zhimeng was immediately thundered.

"Then I will punish you to tutor Zhiting and Zhiyuan for one month's homework!" Huang He turned to say.

"Then you might as well kill me!" Leng Zhimeng sighed to the sky.

"I don't care. Anyway, you choose one of the two punishments. Even if you resign, the punishment will continue. I will specifically remind my mother to let him watch you!" Huang He said lightly.

"Then I'd better choose the tutoring homework!" Leng Zhimeng made the most desperate decision.

"By the way, your secretary, you'd better fire it!" Huang He added.

"Why?" Leng Zhimeng's face changed. Leng Zhimeng still thought it was good as her secretary. The relationship between the two sides has always been very good, and she was a little reluctant to part with this secretary.

"4 days ago, the people lurking in Tengda had already reported that Tengda wanted to launch QQ files and QQ groups and report to you, but your secretary stopped him and did not report to you."

"Two days ago, 00 officially announced the news about the QQ documents and QQ groups, and then it was opened on the second day. Your secretary still did not report the news to you. Do you think such a secretary can still be kept?" Huang He asked back.

"But it's not her business. I told her that I should concentrate on watching the game during this period and tell her not to bother me with these things, and just leave it to the company's executives to discuss solutions... By the way, I asked him to give it to your brother-in-law. Didn't she report it?" Leng Zhimeng said hurriedly.

"I gave it to me, but she is your secretary, not my secretary!" Huang He slapped on the table with great force, scaring Leng Zhimeng jumped. "Even if I issued such an order, if such an important news is received by Hu Jing, then I think even if I scolded her, she would definitely try her best to tell me. This is the top priority in the company's competition. If a secretary can't even tell this matter clearly, why should he be the secretary of the company's president?"

"Anyway, this secretary can't be kept!" Huang He said firmly.

"Brother-in-law, this is all mine. Can you not punish her?" Leng Zhimeng begged.

"No!" Huang He shook his head firmly.

"Can you not fire her? Change her position?" Leng Zhimeng said again.

"No, I have to be fired. I want to use her to kill the chicken to scare the monkey." Huang He said very simply, "Zhimeng, don't blame your brother-in-law for being cruel. If you want to blame, blame you for being such a huge company now. There are thousands of employees under your command who are counting on you to survive, but your attitude is so slack."

"Brother-in-law, I want to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. This monkey is either someone else, you, so she must be fired, and there is no room for negotiation!"

"That is at least...at least...at least..."

"No, you will announce the news of her expelling in person!" Huang He said expressionlessly.

"Then I won't be the CEO anymore!" Leng Zhimeng was already crying.

"Yes!" Huang He nodded, "Brother-in-law doesn't want to force you either. If you can't understand the truth, then you are really not suitable to stay in this position!"

"Woooooooooooooooo!" Leng Zhimeng ran away crying, and when Huang He saw Leng Zhimeng running away, he felt a little lost in his mind.

"Would I be too ruthless to do this? After all, this is also what I plan!" At this moment, Huang He also doubted his decision. "Forget it, if she can't figure it out, then she is indeed not suitable to continue to be the president! I am doing this for her own good, so that she can also be a happy gaming girl!"

On the second day, Leng Zhimeng issued an internal letter within the company, announcing the decision to fire her secretary, and also issued a self-examination letter.

In this inspection book, she confessed that she lost to the company's business because of her recent hobbies and did not do a good job in response as soon as possible, allowing her competitors to occupy a favorable situation. She apologized for her willfulness and work mistakes, and said that she would never make similar mistakes in the future, asking all company employees to supervise or something for her.

"I've grown up after all!" Huang He sighed when he saw this letter.

But now he has to worry that this sister-in-law and his brother-in-law are no longer close to each other.
Chapter completed!
