Reborn? The Kind You Can Choose!

"What?!"

After listening to Zhang Zhidong's words, Ma Huateng suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously clicked on Sina.

Although it was not the headline, everyone in the financial section saw the news.

"The Embattled Penguin's Breakthrough: Campus Network?"

"Xia Zhifan, a specialist in Penguin's investment department and known as Penguin's most beautiful woman, came into contact with a man in a coffee shop in Jiangnan City. He is Yuan Zhou, the founder of Xiaonei.com, a rising star in the domestic Internet..."

"The current situation of penguins is not optimistic..."

The news is very short, but there are quite a lot of photos, including high-definition profile and frontal photos of Xia Zhifan. Below is a photo of her working at Penguin.

Everyone can tell that it is indeed the same person in the photo.

In other words, the authenticity of this news is beyond doubt.

"pony, what on earth is going on?"

"How could such a secret acquisition be photographed?"

Zhang Zhidong asked there, but Ma Huateng stared at the photos on the computer monitor, a cold light reflected in his eyes behind the lenses: "What a good idea, are you hyping yourself up?"

"This must have been taken by that kid who specially found someone to take the photo. Now... the whole circle knows that we are interested in his school network!"

Ma Huateng looked at his friend, Zhang Zhidong blinked: "Which boy?"

"Which one else!"

"The developer and founder of Xiaonei.com—Zhou!"

This was the first time that Ma Huateng said Yuan Zhou's name so formally. When he thought that he was only 18 years old, he was planning and digging holes, which made Ma Huateng have to look at him differently.

18 years old!

When I was still a student, I could actually develop and promote it, and now I am even so skilled at promoting it?!

Ma Huateng is almost certain that tonight, the entire Internet will basically know the name of the school network!

This wave of penguins has definitely been taken advantage of, and the key is that Ma Huali has nothing to say.

After all, it was indeed his man who went to find Yuan Zhou.

"You're saying that the guy that guy was looking for specifically made this news?"

Zhang Zhidong still didn't believe it.

"How is this possible? I still believe you when you say others helped him!"

He always felt that a developer, that is, a coder, would just sit quietly in the office. This kind of business method should belong to those in the marketing department.

"Whether he thought of it or not, now he has succeeded!"

“Almost anyone in the circle who wants to use social software will contact him!”

"Everyone can see the potential in this!"

"And I am certain that this title may have been written by him...and he is still surrounded by enemies on all sides, breaking the situation?!"

"Just rely on his website?!"

Ma Huateng smiled coldly and looked up at Zhang Zhidong: "Zhidong, if it doesn't work, we will make a similar website right away!"

"Once other companies cooperate with Xiaonei.com, for us Penguin, they are quite passive!"

"This guy did this and is just waiting for a price!"

"His company is on the rise, so the acquisition is no longer necessary..."

Ma Huateng said there, Zhang Zhidong thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I will ask the development department to study the website early tomorrow morning [and try to get you medical treatment in the future!"

"Well, if he can accept a capital injection, that would be great!"

"If you don't accept it, we have to build our Penguin campus network before he cooperates with other websites!"

"Be prepared!"

Ma Huateng rubbed his swollen temples. Penguin had been having a hard time in the past few months, but now... something like this is going to happen again.

"Why!"

"What a troubled time!"

"But it's good. The birth of this website has helped Penguin add another piece of business to our business!"

Ma Huateng smiled, but Zhang Zhidong could only shake his head with a wry smile: "You are really good at comforting yourself!"

"Hahaha, what should I do? Do you want me to cry?"

Ma Huateng stood up and turned off the computer: "Let's go, I have to go back. In the past few months, I have to prepare for the wedding. My wife is still waiting for me at home. After getting married, I won't have so much free time!"

As the two said, they walked out of the office one after another.

In the entire Penguin Company, the light in his office was always on.

However, this office space will be relocated soon.

After all, Penguin is about to go public soon. It cannot be justified without a good office building.

Ma Huateng has already found a place - Shenzhen Fiyta Building!

He had just rented out the entire building, and the Penguin signs had already been put up in advance.

The purpose is to promote it before going public.

At this time in Jiangnan City, the dormitory of Jiangnan No. 1 Middle School.

But Yuan Zhou was not asleep yet.

He had just sent the compiled photos to major newspapers and websites via private messages one by one.

Thanks to the poem that broke the circle, many media sent him private messages to ask questions. This time, Yuan Zhou simply broke the news about Penguin's plan to acquire Xiaonei.com.

Ma Huateng was right, Yuan Zhou really wanted to hype himself up.

But this premise is not to wait for a price, but to lay out.

Yuan Zhou has no intention of selling the school network. He does this just to muddy the muddy waters of the Internet and make the war of gods in 2004 more chaotic and sophisticated.

Fisherman?

Always be the last to strike.

"By now, it is estimated that all the instant messaging software websites in China should understand the value of the school network!"

What Yuan Zhou wants is that NetEase, Microsoft, Sohu and other websites will come to him, and then he can take advantage of the opportunity to develop the traffic of the school network.

Although instant messaging software such as NetEase Bubble, MSN, Sohu Yidian, etc. do not have more registered users than QQ, ant meat is also meat. When concentrated, 363 may not be able to form a force.

NetEase Paopao has almost 30 million users, and MSN has grown rapidly, reaching 10 million in just a few days, and has as many as 2 million active office users.

Adding up these instant messaging services, there must be more than 100 million active users, not to mention 200 million.

Although QQ claims to have 400 million, Yuan Zhou estimates that 200 million active users will be enough to suffocate it, and the maximum number of daily users is 5 million!

It's almost a draw situation.

But at present, it is a group of heroes vying for the throne, and I am alone in seeking defeat.

Yuan Zhou wants to pull out a collective force that can compete with the penguins from this battle, instead of letting them fight alone.

He never thought about working with Penguin.

And Yuan Zhou is almost certain that after he disagrees with being acquired by the other party, Penguin's next plan is to copy a school network.

Countless experiences of later generations can prove that Ma Huateng would definitely do this.

At that time, the value of the school network will be truly highlighted.

Because once Penguin starts to set foot on social networking sites, giants such as NetEase and Microsoft will definitely feel a crisis.

Apart from cooperating with the school network, they have no other way to go!

"When it comes to copycats, I still only follow Penguin!"

"NetEase is still on a different level!"

With Yuan Zhou thinking like this, he closed the computer and fell asleep.

Tomorrow will be the real beginning of the battle of the gods!
