Global Monopoly of Technology

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xu Chenghua rationalized his thoughts, and then replied earnestly: "I have a general understanding of the cause of the incident. The introduction of the news flow function in Blue Space has angered users. As for the privacy issue, you really handled this matter. It's up for debate, privacy is the most sensitive issue in the industry, and it's not just a hassle, it could also create a crisis of confidence in blue spaces."

"Brother Luo, according to the agreement, I have no right to interfere with the operation of Bluestar Technology Company, but now I am not talking to you as an investor, but as a friend. Your response to this crisis is too slow. It shouldn't be delayed until now."

On the other side, Luo Sheng in the conference room leaned back against the boss chair and put his legs on the conference table. He responded slowly with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your suggestion. To be honest, I had expected it before the news flow function was launched. It will be so."

Xu Chenghua was stunned for a while when he heard this, and subconsciously replied: "How do you say this?"

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "Test."

Xu Chenghua asked suspiciously, "Test?"

Luo Sheng nodded and replied, "Yes, it's almost over now, and I'm very satisfied with the results. It's time to end it, and President Xu can just wait and see."

Xu Chenghua, who was sitting in the office on the other side, didn't know how to answer for a while, and hung up the communication after chatting for a few words.

"What is this kid selling in the gourd?"

Xu Chenghua wanted to ask, but he gave up. From Luo Sheng's tone, he could hear what he didn't want to reveal. Even if he asked, he wouldn't say anything.

But this phone call still surprised him, this guy is actually doing a test?

Since I knew that such negative factors would occur, and I still bite the bullet, do I have a big heart, or do I have enough self-confidence to turn the tide?

Xu Chenghua didn't know how to say it was good for him, but he didn't care too much. It was useless to worry anyway. Although Teng Xun was the second largest shareholder of Bluestar Technology, he basically had no right to speak. A strong founder like Sheng, no one can hold him back no matter how much tossing others, and no one can control him.

Thinking that QQ has R company, Xu Chenghua doesn't need to worry too much. Taking a step back, Luo Sheng messed up the blue space, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It is even a good thing for Teng Xun, which means that it gives R a great opportunity.

Xu Chenghua has to admit that the current development momentum of R Society is against the blue space. If the other party does not make mistakes, it is too difficult to catch up or even surpass.

Blue space has occupied more than 58% of the market share, while R company has only a little more than 20%, and the gap has further widened over time.

If there is a big somersault this time, R may be able to take the opportunity to grab more market share.

...

At the same time, at the Jinmao Building, the company's door was opened again. When Luo Sheng appeared in front of a group of petitioning students outside, the scene was full of commotion.

Luo Sheng pressed his hand gesture, and after a while, it was quiet for a while, and some reporters who were present immediately squeezed into the front row from the crowd and began to take pictures or video non-stop.

At this moment, Luo Sheng changed his attitude in the conference room before facing everyone.

"I'm sorry, we really screwed up this time, I'm very sorry, we didn't expect the news feed function to cause such a fierce resistance. During this period of time when everyone boycotted the news flow function, our team has been reflecting on it, and now I look back. We found that we wanted blue space to be a big step forward in social networking."

"We're reflecting, we could have taken a more lenient approach instead of suddenly forcing the feature on users, sorry about that."

"I hope the majority of users can give us 72 hours, the development team is working overtime, we are developing the privacy slider function, which is an option to increase privacy control,

This is a brand new feature that allows users to choose not to have some of their actions appear on their friends' homepages, such as changing relationship status, incognito personal activity, and more. "

At this moment, Luo Sheng patiently tried to tell everyone that this function is very good.

A fierce boycott was easily defused by him in just a few words, at least temporarily.

When everyone saw Luo Sheng's humble attitude, the anger in their hearts dissipated a lot, especially when they learned that they were working hard to improve, many people had temporarily forgiven them in their hearts and returned to their senses, and soon surrounded the big boycotters at the company's gate. They all dispersed.

Most of the people who came to petition or boycott this time are college students, and other groups do not have such time and emotion, because 99% of the current users of Blue Space are college students who have received higher education and know that their current behavior has It affected a lot of people, so it dissipated quickly.

...

Seeing the crowd gradually disperse, all the members of the company breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Sheng settled the matter and walked towards the CEO's office.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. No wonder he was the head of Bluestar Technology. It was not unreasonable. He gently and happily settled the problem as soon as he made a move.

As soon as Luo Sheng returned to his office, Irene came. After she came in, she closed the door and locked it.

"I suddenly found out that you are really a slicker. You were completely different from the meeting with the boycotters and your performance in the conference room." Irene walked over with a smile and came to him.

Luo Sheng said calmly, "It's called public relations skills, and it's the most basic public relations skills. Apologizing is easy to use. Even if an apology doesn't work, there's absolutely nothing wrong with dealing with this situation."

Irene looked at him and said, "I seem to see..."

Luo Sheng interrupted her immediately: "I will talk about it later, don't waste time, it will inevitably make people suspicious if it is too long."

...

As Luo Sheng personally responded to the users who came to the company to petition for boycott, and was also reported by the media in the industry, the development of blue space is in full swing, and now it is the focus of the Internet industry circle, especially the news flow project has led to thousands of Thousands of users resisted, there are many people who watch the fun and don’t think it’s a big deal, and there are many competitors who expect the blue space to be a big downfall.

With Luo Sheng's sincere apology and request, the majority of users have temporarily understood and given a certain buffer time. If the privacy problem caused by the news flow cannot be solved, they will continue to resist. If Bluestar Technology turns a deaf ear to this, it will still be If you don't want to go back to the old version, then delete the account completely. This is the idea of ​​the majority of users who resist.

Anyway, there is R company.

However, after Luo Sheng's response spread through media reports, Tengxun's senior management immediately paid attention to the news, and Mr. Ma quickly convened an internal meeting with the company's senior management.

"I have to say that this privacy slider function is the finishing touch. The privacy problem brought by the message flow function is likely to be solved with the launch of this new function."

At this moment, Mr. Ma at the meeting was bragging about this, and then he looked at his CTO: "QQ can also launch a similar function, it is called the stealth function, this function is also very useful for QQ. "

"Understood, I will deal with it immediately after the meeting." The company's chief technology officer responded immediately.

"Hurry up!" Mr. Ma nodded and reminded, and after a while he couldn't help saying with emotion: "The blue space has endless wonderful ideas, Luo Sheng seems to be born for social networking, Chenghua, you said blue at the beginning. Space will become my QQ's biggest competitor in the future, and now I am convinced."

Xu Chenghua glanced at Mr. Ma, looked away with a smile, and couldn't help sighing: "I called Luo Sheng the day before yesterday to ask about the negative impact of the news flow function. At the time, he thought he was deceiving me, but he told me it was an internal test, and then I suddenly realized, I said how is it possible, the negative news continued for a week without the slightest reaction, I have to say that he dared to play like this, this young man is really bold ."

"But what amazes me even more is that the news of this invisibility function broke out and I still felt that I had once again underestimated Luo Sheng, a young man who has such courage and control over the overall situation. , well-organized, this calm is too much for even a veteran who has been in the shopping mall for more than ten years."

Zhao Peng, who was present at the meeting, heard that President Ma and Xu Chenghua were flaunting Luo Sheng at the meeting. Xu Chenghua was very upset, and he was depressed to death.

This is not to say that the operation of R company is not good.

The key is to dare not to be angry and not to speak out.

"After Blue Space launched the news flow, what is the comparison of the number of page views before and after?" Mr. Ma said, looking around everyone in the meeting.

At this time, the chief operating officer immediately replied: "Mr. Wang, according to the third-party data, it has reached as many as 1.25 billion, which is a full doubling compared to the week before the news flow function was launched."

Everyone was shocked when this remark came out, and even President Ma was moved. With more than 80 million user registrations, Blue Space actually has such a terrifying activity index.

"Aren't users opposed to the message flow function a lot? Why is the frequency of use doubled?"

"We have carefully investigated Luo Sheng's personal resume and found that in addition to majoring in computer science, he also took a number of majors in college, including psychology. He seems to understand Internet thinking and users very well. already."

"The privacy slider function complements users' privacy concerns, and the message flow function is bound to take off."

Zhao Peng, who was sitting in the conference room, felt like he was on pins and needles at the moment. He felt guilty. The more the executives at the meeting said this, the more he panicked because he did not follow up on the development of the news flow function.

Sure enough, he was afraid of what was coming. At this moment, Mr. Ma's gaze shifted and landed on Zhao Peng.
