Rebirth of the Richest Man In Black Technology

Shenzhen City, Penguin Building!

Dong dong dong~

The sound of banging on the table became annoying, but no one dared to object, and instead it became more solemn.

Because the man knocking on the table was sitting at the front, with black-framed eyes and a slightly gentle look, but at this moment he was looking ferocious.

Penguin Boss, Penguin’s founding leader, Ma Huateng!

Ma Huateng is usually very kind and friendly, but the founders and senior management of the group who have close contact with him know that Ma Huateng is not that easy to get along with.

As the boss and the ultimate manager, Ma Huateng still has dignity and management skills. Otherwise, who among these capable managers will be convinced?

"Everyone, please stop being silent. What should we do next?"

Ma Huateng was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at everyone present, and asked solemnly.

Penguin is now facing many problems, such as the development of e-commerce, the development of Weibo, and the development of instant messaging.

These are very critical competitive points. Penguin is based on instant messaging and continues to expand into other areas.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the huge users of instant messaging, it is equivalent to not having the current Penguin Group!

As Ma Huateng finished speaking, everyone became cautious. The boss spoke and asked them to come up with a suitable solution.

As one of the Five Tiger Generals, Zhang Zhidong pondered for a moment and responded solemnly, "We at Penguin have only achieved a certain degree of development in the gaming field so far, and it is difficult to develop other businesses."

Penguin has always been pursuing multi-faceted development, from social transactions, to friend circles created by strangers, from social mini-games, to board and card games, and even PC games, all in order to achieve comprehensive development.

But things are always unsatisfactory. Penguin-related industries are under pressure from competitors and are basically at a disadvantage. The current Penguin Group has many businesses and is complex but not refined.

On the instant messaging side, Penguin's most important software is Kuokou. Facing the erosion of competitor hacker WeChat, the dominance of instant messaging is in jeopardy.

In the field of games, there are the old overlord Netizen blocking the way in front, and there are also search websites chasing behind. The development is not very fast, and it is barely maintained.

In the field of e-commerce, Penguin Group's performance is even more disastrous. It cannot even reach the third position. JD.com and Dibao occupy the absolute position.

As for other miscellaneous fields, Penguin also does not have an advantage and is targeted by competitors everywhere.

Regarding the problems mentioned by Zhang Zhidong, Ma Huateng, as the big boss, certainly knows the situation, but after all, he needs to find a way to solve it.

He stared at Zhang Zhidong, then scanned the crowd present, and couldn't help but frown.

The management present are all people with real say. If they don't have a better direction, where should the Penguins develop?

He finally set his sights on Zhang Zhidong. He felt that Zhang Zhidong had finished his sentence, "Zhidong, tell me your opinion."

Zhang Zhidong hesitated, wondering whether he should say anything, but Ma Huateng was obviously aware of this situation and said directly, "Zhidong, everyone present is the senior management of the group. If you have anything to say, no one else will." I don’t mind.”

I'm afraid Zhang Zhidong has some radical ideas, otherwise, with Zhang Zhidong's temperament, he would definitely say it outright.

For Zhang Zhidong, an old classmate, Ma Huateng still feels at ease and trusts him. He is very capable and a good person.

Zhang Zhidong turned to look at Ma Huateng, and said directly without any further hesitation, "Chairman Ma, if we Penguins want to break through, we must focus on a certain field. If we cast the net as wide as now, I'm afraid there will be no good results."

Based on Zhang Zhidong’s understanding of the penguin situation during this period, he feels that there are many problems with the current penguin, and changes must be made to allow the penguin to develop.

Penguin is too broad, so we need to specialize and do the specialized things well. Other things can be done from another angle.

Ma Huateng nodded slightly and asked Zhang Zhidong to continue, "Zhidong, just go on and tell me what you think."

Since Zhang Zhidong has a suitable idea, let everyone listen to it and then sum it up.

If it is appropriate, of course everyone has no objection and is willing to implement it.

Everyone present is a high-level manager, so naturally there is no fool. If you are a fool, it will be difficult for you to sit in this position.

Zhang Zhidong took the mineral water from the table next to him, unscrewed the bottle cap, and took a long sip. Then he raised his head and realized that everyone was looking at him.

This is a bit embarrassing!

He smiled awkwardly and explained, "Sorry, I'm a little thirsty."

After hearing this, many executives shook their heads helplessly and said there was no problem.

However, some people secretly cursed in their hearts that Zhang Zhidong would always lose some of his skills at critical moments, which was really annoying.

Zhang Zhidong drank the water and got ready, and then explained his thoughts loudly, "Chairman Ma, and all colleagues here, our current foundation at Penguin must be the Kuokou software, and this software is our lifeblood. "

"Since it is our lifeblood, of course we must do our best to develop it, even if we lose money. But the most critical thing is to retain users!"

"That's right, retaining users is the fundamental driving force for our Penguin's growth and the foundation for expanding our books."

At this point, Zhang Zhidong stopped and let everyone digest the relevant information.

He knew that more than 90% of the executives present would agree with this view. This is Penguin's largest software based on the Internet.

Zeng Liqing pondered. As one of the Five Tigers, he certainly understood what Zhang Zhidong meant and recognized it.

But this has basically not changed much from their current development trends and directions, and they are still following the old path.

He stared at Zhang Zhidong, trying to see a ghost in his face. What kind of medicine was being sold in this gourd?

Let's ask. Don't wait for this guy to show off. He asked, "Zhidong, we all agree with the information you said, but there is no change, right?"

Zhang Zhidong turned to look at Zeng Liqing and asked with a smile, "Since it's okay to agree, how do you know that there will be no changes in what I said next? Let me tell you now, how should Penguin change?!"

The more Zhang Zhidong talked about it, the more he felt that his idea should be feasible. This was a solution he came up with after careful consideration, making it easy for Penguin to go into battle!

Now it is up to him to propose it and let the management present discuss and make choices. The final decision-making power will definitely fall on everyone.

Of course, the most important thing is to listen to Ma Huateng and Chairman Ma's wishes.

Zhang Zhidong felt the attention of everyone and continued with a smile, "This is just my personal opinion. You can listen to it. If you feel it is inappropriate, then discard it."

Ma Huateng was a little speechless. This guy was a gossip and had a lot of nonsense. Just focus on the important points!

He stared at Zhang Zhidong's movements, feeling that if he didn't stop him, this guy might continue, "Zhidong, just put your opinion forward, how should Penguin change?"

Zhang Zhidong looked at Ma Huateng's expression and knew he couldn't be more verbose, "Penguin follows up with Kou Kou and specializes in a certain aspect. From our current career, I personally think it should be games!"

"From the first half of the year's report, we can clearly find that Penguin's game revenue is steadily increasing, while other things are dragging down Penguin's development."

"In this case, we at Penguin should be more decisive, cut off other businesses, package and sell those that should be packaged, and specialize in the instant messaging field of KouKou, as well as the gaming field."

Astonishing words!

After Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, the originally noisy meeting suddenly became audible.

Ma Huateng and all the executives present were stunned. This suggestion was really too big.

After a long time, Zhang Zhidong heard the sound of everyone exhaling. He knew that these words were a bit too radical.

More than radical!

This is simply radical to the extreme!

This was what Ma Huateng had in mind. He had never thought of doing this. Instead, he let Penguin develop in many directions and seek more possibilities.

Penguin's consistent idea is to enter from various fields and actively occupy the areas where money is made.

Does e-commerce make money?

Well, we Penguin also wanted to engage in e-commerce, so Paipai.com soon came into existence.

Does the game make money?

Well, we at Penguin also wanted to make games, and we wanted to make the games better, so soon there were various imitation games, as well as games imported from overseas.

Do you make money from searching, Weibo, and anti-virus?

Well, we Penguin also need to search, Weibo, anti-virus, and get in. With so many users, we can capture a certain market share.

This is the approach that Ma Huateng and most of the executives insist on, and the current Penguin also operates in the same way.

but!

Now Zhang Zhidong, a senior management executive, has put forward other theories and ideas, hoping to make Penguin change.

Ma Huateng pondered and thought quickly in his mind, does Penguin want to change?

He now became a little uneasy and confused. Maybe Zhang Zhidong was right?

He looked at Zhang Zhidong, then looked at other managers, and asked, "Do you have any opinions or thoughts on the suggestions made by Zhidong?"

Since it is a discussion to solve the dilemma that Penguins are currently facing, of course it is best to solve it on the spot.

It would be best to finalize the matter while everyone is together.

Zeng Liqing thought a lot, looked at Zhang Zhidong, and asked again, "Zhidong, you know that we have invested a lot of energy and funds in search, Weibo, music, anti-virus and other fields. If we abandon it now, it will undoubtedly It’s a very huge loss.”

Loss is inevitable!

Penguin invested in such a similar software or team, but its final market share was only ranked third or fourth in the country, which is not competitive at all.

It is precisely because Zhang Zhidong knows this and sees the development of games that he has such a bold idea.

Zhang Zhidong asked directly, "Li Qing, I understand what you mean. You are unwilling to pay but get no reward."

"But, we have invested so much, but we have not achieved any results. The billions invested in Paipai.com have not made any waves!"

"So, it's time for us to make a choice whether we want long-term pain or short-term pain."

Long term pain or short term pain? !

Zhang Zhidong spoke very straightforwardly at this moment and put the matter on the table.

Ma Huateng frowned, maybe Zhang Zhidong was right, "Zhidong, maybe you are right, I will think about this matter again. Next, let's talk about another thing, how to consolidate the position of instant messaging

Bit, that is, how to deal with hackers on WeChat! "

Ma Huateng saw that he didn't come to a conclusion, so he put the topic to the back. He had to think about it for a while before deciding. After all, it involved too much.

Apart from this, QQ’s fundamentals are the key.

With continuous discussions, Penguin finally found a way to deal with WeChat on the PC.

…

"Xiaolong, you have been in our hacker group for a while and have been in charge of WeChat. You have done a very good job."

After commenting and arranging the Hacking Miracle, Hacking Slow Hands, Hacking Weibo, and Hacking Smart Home, Feng Hao finally set his sights on Zhang Xiaolong.

Whether in this life or in the past, this man is known as the father of WeChat, an extremely powerful middle-aged man, and a legendary version of himself.

He seems to be born to do instant messaging, and has built the entire WeChat architecture with extremely rich functions and extremely powerful scalability.

He has enough say in many functions and experiences. Even though Feng Hao has used WeChat for countless years, there are still many things that are incomparable.

He may be familiar with some functions, but he may not be as good at many aspects as Zhang Xiaolong and his team.

This is where the gap between users and product managers lies.

"Thank you, Mr. Feng, for your compliment. This is my responsibility and I should do it."

Zhang Xiaolong smiled, waved his hand, and responded modestly.

Facing the young man Feng Hao, he also had a certain amount of pressure. In terms of position, he was his immediate boss. In terms of technology, the boss, Brother Hao, is a real top programmer. He is very good in many aspects and can sometimes come up with very innovative and precise functions.

He even admired this young boss for being able to maintain a high level of IT skills while starting a business and managing the company.

"You haven't encountered any difficulties with WeChat recently, right?"

Feng Hao had just come from his hometown and participated in the financing of Hacker Miracle. He didn’t know much about the situation of Hacker WeChat.

"Brother Hao, there is no difficulty for the time being, but there is one fact. I'm afraid it may happen."

Zhang Xiaolong looked solemn, hesitated for a moment, spoke seriously, and his tone even became a little lower.

"Whatever it is, just tell me."

Feng Hao noticed Zhang Xiaolong's expression and was startled, and asked in a deep voice.

Given Zhang Xiaolong's nature, if he takes things seriously here, something big might happen.

"Brother Hao, the button on the penguin side seems to be moving, and the declaration seems to be, if there are penguins, there will be no WeChat!"

Zhang Xiaolong raised his head and looked around, as if he was afraid that others would hear him, and finally broke the news in a low voice.

"What? As expected, choose one of the two!"

Feng Hao was suddenly startled, his mouth slightly opened, his pupils dilated, the most famous choice between two.
