"Mr. Zhang, it seems that you are in a good mood recently?" A young man stood opposite Zhang Yang, reaching out to help his glasses.

"Fortunately, a competitor's product hit the street, shouldn't I be so obvious?" Zhang Yang asked intentionally.

"Yeah, it shouldn't be so obvious. But throw a party and celebrate."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Ma is very humorous, so I'll have a party tonight, and you can come too. By the way, is there something to do here this time? Penguin needs additional investment?" Zhang Yang opened the cigar box on the table and handed it over One draws vines for horses.

"Investment is not necessary for the time being. The company currently has three rounds of financing, and the cash is still sufficient. And there are already some revenue projects. Although some of them are living on their own, it will not affect the company's future development."

Now Penguin Company has launched Penguin Coins. The company sells Penguin Coins in exchange for some cash, and at the same time allows users to spend and purchase some virtual products of the company through Penguin Coins.

To put it bluntly, the cost of those virtual products is extremely low, and their profits are very high. Relying on penguin coins, the company returned a large amount of funds.

In addition to advertising revenue, Penguin already has a lot of profit points. Today, the number of users of the company has already exceeded 100 million, and it is still increasing rapidly.

Zhang Yang blew out a smoke ring: "Since there is no shortage of money, is that good news?"

"I don't know if it's good news. It's just that I have an idea recently and want to discuss it with Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang's control of the business context is extremely precise, so I'm asking for help."

"In North America, there are currently several instant messaging software companies. Among them, Microsoft and IQ are the main ones, and the others are developing in general. If we join them, is it possible to get a share?"

Zhang Yang looked at Ma Huateng fiercely: "What did you say? You are going to enter the North American market now? Do you think the time is ripe?"

Ma Huateng shook his head: "I'm not sure, but according to our analysis, if the Penguin does not enter the North American market at this time, it will be even more difficult in the future."

"There are two ways to enter the North American market. The first is to directly promote Penguin, which consumes huge advertising costs and develop slowly. The other is to acquire an instant messaging company. We directly obtain the assets of the other party and launch it at the same time. Our products replace each other's products, or optimize each other's products."

"If Mr. Zhang thinks it is not possible, then we will give up entering the North American market.

Specialize in markets in other parts of Asia, especially in Southeast Asia. It is impossible for us to only focus on the mainland market. Although this market is large, its limitations are also obvious. "

Zhang Yang lowered his head and pondered, it was indeed too difficult to enter the North American market. Not to mention the exclusivity of concepts, but in terms of capital scale alone, Penguin is far from being comparable to Microsoft.

Microsoft is in its prime right now. Although its market value is falling, its revenue is growing. InXP has just been listed, and there is no market potential at present.

But Zhang Yang is very clear that this is another operating system that Microsoft has swept the market. In the next ten years, it will be the most mainstream operating system with the largest number of users.

Compared with burning money, Zhi Duoxing can't burn Microsoft, let alone Penguin.

"If you want to enter the North American market, how much capital are you going to use? If you are going to cooperate with other companies, do you plan to let Penguin hold the controlling share or participate in the shares?"

"At least three hundred million US dollars in the initial stage, and more than one billion US dollars in the follow-up. Penguin does not have such a large amount of funds, so it plans to cooperate with other companies."

"Our goal must be to hold shares. If it is a shareholding, then some of our ideas, assets, etc. will be eaten away by the other party."

"We thought about it and tried the market first. Even if it doesn't work, we can sell that part of the assets without losing money. So there is no need to continue to invest more for the time being. If necessary, we will contact Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yang tapped his fingers on the table: "If you say that, you already have a goal, right? 300 million dollars, it seems that I underestimate Penguin a little bit, and your development is better than I imagined."

Ma Huateng did not object to Zhang Yang's intention, but was also a little happy. In fact, he doesn't plan to let people invest in the follow-up funds, which will dilute his shares and dilute his voting rights.

His idea is to let the company go public next year and raise a sum of money for subsequent development.

It's just that the global financial market is not very good now, and he is not sure whether he can raise enough funds. If the market doesn't pick up next year, either the listing time will be delayed, or someone else will be found for financing. He doesn't want Zhang Yang and others to continue to invest more.

It is impossible for others to control the company that you have worked so hard to create.

"Since you have decided, I also support it. It doesn't matter if you fail, as long as you don't delay the domestic expansion. Now there are basically no competitors in China, and you have to consider other foreign companies to enter."

In the previous life, Microsoft's sn entered the Chinese market strongly, and was famous for its file transfer efficiency and high security. However, after Penguin improved these two functions, the number of sn users gradually decreased.

The most fundamental reason is that sn positioning is office, the page is too old, has few functions, and looks very rigid.

Penguin is much more interesting and has a large number of users, suitable for all ages. The most important point is that Penguin has captured young people, and as young people grow up, their parents are also encouraged to use it, gradually replacing SN.

At the beginning, SN could still communicate with emails, etc., but soon Penguin also launched an email service, which is completely free, so that people don't have to remember their email account too much, just know the Penguin number.

So if Penguin wants to promote it in North America, it must also grasp this feature and be interesting enough. Just like other social software in the future, the functions are more interesting, so they can stand up and grow into the world's top companies.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. We have already found a partner in the foreign market, but we are still hesitating whether to use the penguin logo or a new one. The previous company used only one letter, which has no special features."

"Letters also have the benefits of letters, and are easy to remember. But it's really not interesting enough. Have you thought about using emoticons, uh~~ using a cartoon image?"

Zhang Yang almost said to use emoticons, but there is no such statement yet.

"What kind of cartoon image, will it overlap with other companies? Many cartoon images have been adapted into games."

Ma Huateng also said that many cartoon characters are very expensive, and some of them are relatively homogeneous. It is better to use their little penguins.

"Did you forget that capsule figure I drew for you before? What do you think of using this?"
