At 6 pm on the 8th, Tencent's first letter to its users was released.
Accompany you!
11 years of companionship, 11 years of silent persistence, when habits become a kind of nature, can you really forget all this?
Do you have a first love that you can't forget?
Are you still silently watching her, accompanying her, often thinking of the past and the good times?
What QQ brings to you is not just chat, it is no longer a simple chat software, it is given life.
QQ is a kind of life, a circle, a past that can't be cut off.
Without QQ, do you feel that something is missing in your life?
Accompany QQ, accompany Tencent, walk together, through the next 11 years, and the next 11 years.
You are here, QQ is here, you are here, Tencent is here, you are here, we will accompany you!
…
Tencent's user letter is not too sad, although it is a little emotional, it is a little less than the last time.
Some people ignore it, some people skim through it, and some people read it carefully, but there is always some sadness from the heart.
Who doesn't have a past?
How many people, when using PP, return to QQ from time to time to see if the previous her or him has updated?
Is the former secret love, the first love, married now?
Is she or he, living well?
Is his (her) other half good to him (her)?
There are too many things that can't be cut off, and there are too many things that can't be forgotten, this is the meaning of QQ.
PP is a new circle, some of the past people and things, they left in QQ, and did not choose to take them with them.
They just left silently, but it does not mean that they have really let it go.
There are always some worries in their hearts, not about QQ, but about the people and things on it.
Refreshing the space, and looking at the space from the beginning to the end, this is what many people do.
If one day, QQ really disappears from your life, it is not only this software that disappears, maybe your youth, your good times, and all the traces you have left.
This is the charm of time.
11 years, QQ left too many beautiful memories!
…
When Tencent's first user letter was released, Li Dong also received a call from Ma Huateng.
Brother Ma smiled happily. Li Dong could hear the sound of his mouth chewing clearly.
Perhaps because he was eating, Brother Ma smiled as he ate, "Li Dong, how many years has it been since you logged into QQ?"
"Me?"
Li Dong was a little surprised. Then, he really started calculating. After a while, he said, "On the 1st of May 2006, the mall and PP went online at the same time. During this period, I used QQ from time to time. Later on, to promote PP, I stopped using it. It's been more than two years since I logged in. "
"Have you ever had a first love? Do you have a crush? Back in the day, did he have the rush of hormones and couldn't forget someone? Even after adding her as a friend, he only dared to look at her updates but didn't dare to chat with her? There must be! This time, your Brother Ma has done a good deed. After searching for a long time in the database, I finally found your QQ for you. These few years, you've been rising step by step. Have you really not thought of going back to take a look? Perhaps, you haven't logged in for a few years and missed out on something? "
Li Dong laughed. "You're still playing the emotional card with me at this time?"
"I didn't mean that." Ma Huateng drank and ate as he laughed. "I won't play the emotional card with you. It's boring.
I just want to see if you, Li Dong, have ever regretted it?
Ever since I met you, you've always been so strong and arrogant. I really want to see you lose your soul.
Maybe your first love, your crush, confessed to you after you left back then?
When I think about you reading these late messages, the other party has already gotten married and had a child. I can't wait any longer.
If, if you could go back to the past, what would you choose?
If you saw these messages back then, would you still be the Li Dong now?
Although there are no ifs in life, it's because of this that it's more interesting, isn't it?
Li Dong, are you interested in giving it a try? "
Li Dong laughed again. "Sorry, I really don't have these. Also, you're quite capable. Back then, QQ didn't have a real name registration, right? Also, didn't you cancel your accounts after a period of time? You can even find this. Don't tell me you've been eyeing me for a long time? "
"Not really. You're rich. You're a nouveau riche. When you got rich, you renewed our various value-added services for many years. It hasn't expired until now. How would we dare to cancel your account for such a big client? Don't you think so? See, we just casually looked for it and actually found it. But don't worry, we didn't look at your privacy. We still have this kind of integrity. How about it? I'll send you the account and password later. Do you want to log in and have a look? "
Seeing that he was eager to try, Li Dong was a little speechless. "You seem to be in a good mood now. Have you accepted your fate, or do you really want to see me make a fool of myself? If you want to see me make a fool of myself, I can only say that you think too much. "
"Then do as you please. Anyway, I'll send it to you. It doesn't matter if you log in or not. Anyway, you, Li Dong, are Tencent's loyal users. That's enough. No matter who wins or loses, we're still fighting among ourselves. Don't you think so? "
Li Dong snorted and said, "If you think so, then you're happy. I've also used Taobao, bought things from Suguo, Gome, and Carrefour … Now, they can also think that their own people defeated them. I don't care. If this can make you feel a little more at ease, so that you won't take it too hard when you lose, I don't have a problem admitting that I'm your most loyal user. How about it? "
Ma Huateng laughed a little and said after a while, "Why are you still so vicious at this time? Maybe if you admit it, I'll be happy and not fight with you anymore. "
"Are you sure? If you are sure, I'll announce the news to the public now. Do you want to do it? "Li Dong said excitedly.
"Ugh … I'll hang up first!"
Ma Huateng hung up the phone directly. After a while, Li Dong's cell phone rang again. Ma Huateng sent a text message.
He glanced at it. It was the QQ account and password that he mentioned.
Li Dong stared at it for a while. After a long time, he shook his head slightly and threw the cell phone aside.
Who didn't have a past?
He had it, and he had more than others.
But in this life, Li Dong believed that he had grasped what he needed to grasp. There was no need to look at these.
If there was something that he had forgotten, then let him forget.
Some things, it's better not to know. Knowing it, as Ma Huateng said, might make you suffer more.
Even so, Li Dong couldn't help but think as he sat on the chair. Did he forget something?
First love, secret love, Qin Yuhan should be counted as one of them.
But I just met Qin Yuhan two days ago. I should not have missed anything.
Do I have any other secret love?
Li Dong rubbed his chin and thought. Really? I don't think so.
In my previous life, I did have a crush on a girl in university. But that was in my previous life. Furthermore, I don't even remember her name now. In this life, I do not know her. That should be it.
Relationships are fine. His parents are by his side, and he does not know how to use QQ. There should not be any problems.
That means it's the same whether I look at her or not. It's not a big deal.
As he thought about it, Li Dong suddenly smiled and said, "Interesting. Even I am thinking about this. Will others think about it?"
There were quite a number of old QQ users. After all, it had been around for a long time.
PP had only been around for three years. The new users might not care about the past. But will the old users not care?
Now, many people would return to QQ from time to time while using PP.
Some people could be added as friends in the past. But now, it is no longer convenient for them to join PP.
QQ still has a group of old relationships. This is something that many people will not forget even after ten or twenty years.
It is hard to say how many users there are.
At that time, there weren't many netizens, but if they really couldn't bear to part with them, Li Dong was also curious as to how these people would choose when they were faced with two choices.
Giving up on PP meant giving up on a lot of his current relationships and social circles.
If he gave up on QQ, some of his dusty memories would probably come to an end with him giving up on QQ.
Of course, this is not absolute.
It's fine if they are not compatible now. At most, one can log in on their mobile phone and the other on their computer.
But in the short term, some people have to make a choice. Li Dong is also very interested. Should he choose PP or QQ for the PC?
If the PC and mobile devices are not compatible, how should he choose?
A small software choice may also represent some people's life choices.
Perhaps this choice was also the decision of some people to let go of the past.
The more he thought about it, the more Li Dong felt that the next choice is more and more interesting.
…
At 7 pm, Tencent's second user letter was released.
The 8th is a Friday, and Tencent had chosen a Friday night to send the letter to their users.
There are more online users than usual.
Many users saw Tencent's second user letter. Most of them are actually impatient.
An hour ago, there was a pop-up window, and now it's here again. Tencent is crazy!
Some people who are playing games are even lagging because of the QQ pop-up window. They can't help but curse when they see the pop-up window. No wonder Tencent is getting worse and worse. This stupid advertisement is really annoying!
Some people didn't read the two letters. Most of them are still cursing.
At 8 pm, the third letter was released. Some people can't help but take a look. Some people cursed even louder and even closed QQ.
But Tencent doesn't care and continues to click on a letter.
At 11 pm, there are a lot fewer people online.
At this time, Tencent sent another user letter.
"Sometimes we have to face a choice in life. Some things, once lost, can never be recovered. Give yourself a chance, give Tencent a chance, and give the person you love a chance … "
At this time, although many people are cursing, they can't help but think. What's wrong with Tencent?
Although there were pop-up windows in the past, Tencent's user experience is still okay. It's not so frequent.
Tonight, Tencent has a lot of advertisements. They send letters after letters.
Thinking about Tencent's recent situation, people on the Internet can't help but wonder, "Is Tencent going to close down? Is it saying its last goodbye? "
"It can't be. The stock price has just dropped. Is it going to close down? If Tencent closes down, what will we do? I've just played the game to this level … "
"Let's not talk about the game first. I have a lot of information stored in my QQ. Don't just close down all of a sudden. That will be a huge loss for me. No, let's transfer the information first. "
"Do you guys have to be like this? Tencent is still making money and has so many users. How can it close down just like that … "
"How can it still make money? What do you know? There's no money to be made from the game business. Far away, the value-added services are free. Now, Tencent can't even afford to pay their employees' salaries. They don't even have money for server maintenance. It's not impossible for them to close down. "
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Didn't you see the news? There are no investors, no bank loans. Tencent's money was invested in the stock market last time. They still owe a large amount of debt to Far away. Now, all kinds of activities are free. If we don't top up, where will Tencent get the money?
Do you think the website operation doesn't need money?
Last year, Tencent had 7 billion in revenue and 2 billion in profit. Wasn't 5 billion the cost?
They spent a few hundred million in one month. If they don't have money, how are they going to survive?
I think it's really possible for them to close down.
Today, Tencent also sent out pop-up windows like crazy. Who knows, it might be a sign. "
"…"
A lot of people were discussing it and making guesses.
Countless people in the industry were also looking askance. What was Tencent trying to do?
Gain sympathy?
Play the emotional card?
Or did they really want to use this method to gain attention?
Someone read through the users' letters and concluded, "Tencent seems to be saying goodbye. Don't tell me I'm right and they're really going to close down?"
"I'm not sure. Let's wait and see. It's such a big company after all. How can they close down just like that?"
"…"
As the netizens and users speculated, it was nearing 12 PM.
At this moment, Li Dong was still in the office.
In the office.
Li Dong said calmly, "Interesting. I thought that Tencent would choose to keep a low profile. I didn't expect them to do this. They're clearly telling everyone that they were the ones who started this operation. Is this confidence or are they just giving up? Or are they telling everyone that they're at the end of the road and are making a last stand? "
Liu Hong pondered for a moment and said slowly, "They're in a weak position now. Maybe they want to make it clear so that the users can understand their determination.
Otherwise, if they're vague, even if they say that we're the ones who initiated it, no one will care.
At this time, they're clearly telling everyone that if they don't choose Tencent, Tencent will be finished. There will still be people who will support them.
As for cursing, if Tencent is in a strong position, they will definitely be cursed. At this time, there won't be much cursing. More people will agree and sympathize with them from the bottom of their hearts.
Let everyone understand the necessity and importance of making a choice. That's the best way to achieve the best results.
Maybe the users will have a mentality that if they don't support Tencent now, Tencent will be finished and they won't be able to use QQ in the future.
Uninstall the Far away product first. Far away has so many users anyway. It doesn't matter if there's only one of them. At most, they'll just install it later and help Tencent get through this first.
There's still a possibility of that. "
After Liu Hong finished speaking, Zhang Xiaolong added, "Once we have too many uninstalled users, it'll be troublesome. It means that there's a problem with the market bias. The capital institutions will also see hope and Tencent's potential. Maybe they'll continue to support them two days later. After all, there are so many loyal users, and they'll stick to them. With enough funds to develop, it's not necessarily worse than Far away. Now is a crucial time. Not only will it cost less to enter the market now, but Tencent will also be moved to tears. It might even be more cost-effective than financing PP … "
Li Dong nodded and said, "That's true. Think about it from another perspective. At this time, when two people are fighting and one is about to die, no matter if he's a good person or a bad person, most people's first choice will be to save the dying person first. The other one is strong, and he won't die anyway. He'll just suffer some minor injuries. At most, he'll go back and save the dying person, then ask about the situation. That's normal. After all, PP is still a little short, and they're not as emotional as Tencent. Don't let them succeed in their PUBG counterattack. "
Speaking up to this point, Li Dong looked at the time and suddenly said, "I'm a little off track. At this time, it's either you die or I die. Why do we still care so much?! It's obvious that we want to kill Tencent, and it's the same for Tencent. Everyone can see that. At this time, we're still hiding it and giving the other party a chance to play the emotional card. Isn't that asking for trouble?! "
At this moment, Li Dong somewhat understood why Tencent took the initiative to do this during the 3Q War.
Scolding was one thing, but it was not as important as survival.
If they did not take the initiative to do it, they might be subtly killed by the other party.
At that time, everyone was scolding them, but in the end, they still uninstalled whoever needed to be uninstalled. According to 361, they lost 60 million users.
The importance of Tencent's social software was one point, and the other point was that Tencent took the initiative and took the initiative to launch an attack.
Of course, it was difficult to find a replacement for Tencent at that time, but 361 could. This was also a very important reason.
However, sometimes, taking the initiative was indeed advantageous.
Accepting passively would actually put more pressure on them.
At the very least, people would have the subjective thought that this was Tencent's initiative, so they should uninstall Far away's product. There would also be reverse psychology, but netizens in Hua Xia were used to being resigned to adversity. They could not replace the masses with a minority.
After thinking about this, Li Dong looked at the time again and immediately said, "If I'm not wrong, in another 20 minutes, Tencent will reveal their cards.
We can't let them launch an attack alone. If that's the case, we'll have to endure it passively, and we might suffer even greater losses!
Go back and prepare immediately. Who doesn't know how to write letters to users?
Tell all Far away's users that it's time for survival!
There's no need for two similar social software to exist in the market. Won't it be troublesome to change the software and log in?
As for the so-called old friends and old relationships, that's not a problem. If Tencent is done for, Far away will take over, and QQ will continue operating without a problem! "
As soon as this was said, everyone thought for a while. Then, no one refuted and went back to work.
Anyway, Tencent had done it first, and they passively accepted the challenge. In the end, even if they scolded, it would be Tencent at the front. There was no reason to scold Far away first.
Just thinking about taking advantage and not being able to bear any losses, how could there be so many good things in the world?
