The outside world.
Far Away and Tencent did not release any news. Tencent, as the losing party, did not have the mood to do so.
Far Away also chose to keep a low profile.
The software rejection battle was still ongoing, but Far Away did not publicize their achievements.
Those who did not know the industry would think that Far Away was sympathizing with their opponent. In fact, those in the industry knew the reason why Far Away was keeping a low profile.
The key was that this rejection battle was too sensational!
In just one day, the whole country and even the whole world knew about it.
If the government did not know about it, then they would be underestimating the government.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Public Security, and many other departments were holding a meeting to discuss how to deal with it.
The only thing that was out of everyone's expectations was the time!
Tencent, one of the overlords of the IT industry, claimed to have 600 million users, was defeated so quickly!
In less than a day, Tencent was defeated by Far Away, Baidu, and many other companies. They had almost no way to fight back.
The few tycoons that supported Tencent in the past had chosen to sit on the sidelines.
Of course, they did not just watch from the sidelines. If Tencent could hold on for a while longer, Ali and Sina would most likely join the battle. Other than them, there were many other companies that chose to join.
Some industry giants also did not sit back when they saw the opportunity.
As long as Tencent could hold on for ten days to half a month, or even maintain a tie for three to five days, there would definitely be companies that would help.
But no one expected that Tencent could not even hold on for a day and was defeated by Far Away on the same day!
For a moment, the industry was silent.
…
On the internet.
Tencent users shouted, "We are still here! Tencent will not die! "
"There will always be people who will accompany you forever!"
"We are all here. Even if everyone gives up, even if the computer cannot be used anymore, so what? We are all here to support you!"
"Brother Ma, stand up, let's fight again!"
"…"
In 11 years, there would always be people who could not give up, and there would always be people who did not want to give up.
Some sentimental old Tencent users saw people around them uninstalling Tencent products and could not help but cry.
Was there really no hope?
Was he really not going to give her one last chance?
Tencent 11 years, QQ 10 years, after so many years, don't you have a trace of reluctance?
It had only been a few hours!
Tencent wasn't even given a little bit of time?
Some users called on Tencent users on forums, Weibo, and QQ to pray for Tencent. Perhaps … it was also a farewell.
"Let us gather one more time. We won't stop those brothers and sisters who want to uninstall, but let us gather one last time! Don't go invisible today. Don't go offline. Log in to QQ for the last time! After all, she has been with us for so many years! "
Following the call of a group of loyal old users, some people who were about to uninstall suddenly stopped what they were doing. This was the last gathering. Perhaps, from now on, they would never see the penguin on their desktop again.
…
Shenzhen City.
Tencent Headquarters.
Some of the technicians looked sad and murmured, "It's already 16 million. I'm afraid the number of online users will drop below 10 million today …"
A few months ago, the peak number of users on QQ exceeded the 50 million mark, and it maintained above 30 million daily!
But how long had it been?
The tenth anniversary celebration had just passed, and it felt like it was just yesterday. Today, Tencent had already fallen to this point.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise, "16.5 million! It's rising! "
"It's rising!"
"The number of online users is rising!"
"Pony, it's rising. We still have hope!"
"…"
Exclamations of joy suddenly came from the data monitoring center. At this time, the number of online users on QQ had suddenly increased by 500,000. Everyone instantly saw hope!
It did not continue to fall!
Cheers spread from upstairs to downstairs, and the entire Feiyada Building was filled with joy.
However, very soon, someone informed these people who were immersed in joy that it was not because Far away and the others had stopped their attacks, nor was it because the users had chosen to retaliate.
Rather, someone had volunteered to log in one more time before uninstalling.
When he heard this news, Ma Huateng, who had just arrived at the data monitoring center, suddenly said with tears in his eyes, "Is this a farewell for us? Are you all thinking that if you don't come this time, you won't have another chance in the future? Adorable people, Tencent won't die, and QQ won't die either! "
His voice was slightly choked with emotion. Ma Huateng looked at the other high-networked people who had just arrived. "Since things have come to this, let's have one last reunion! I don't want to fight anymore. If we do, Tencent will really die. For these adorable people, for Tencent to continue living, for everyone else, for the youth and good times that we've sacrificed, let's end it here! "
“Pony！”
Many people exclaimed. However, Ma Huateng rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "Why do you have to do this? It's not like we'll be parting forever. Tencent, it's still Tencent!
It's just that I'm tired, and I want to rest for a while.
Recently, I've been too tired. I've thought a lot. Perhaps, from the beginning, I was wrong in too many ways.
Don't worry, I'm fine. I just want to change the environment.
Tencent isn't just my Tencent. I can fight with Tencent all the way, never compromising, until death!
Originally, that's what I thought.
But at this moment, when I saw these adorable people, these users who have always supported us, I know that I was wrong.
Tencent isn't just my Tencent, it's the Tencent of tens of thousands of people.
I don't have the right to deprive them of their beauty, to strip away their memories. Winner takes all, after all, it's just our game.
They, including you, all have better choices. They don't have to walk to the end like me. "
"Pony …"
Ma Huateng waved his hand and stared at the data monitoring screen in front of him for a while. Then he smiled and said, "Prepare a few computers for us. We'll log in too. It seems that I haven't logged into QQ from a PC for a while. I want to spend the best day with everyone! "
After that, Ma Huateng walked to the office area outside the door.
Seeing this, the others hesitated for a while before following.
Zhang Zidong and the others looked at each other and then sighed softly. Ma Huateng had already made his choice.
Previously, he was prepared to let Tencent fight to the end, until death.
At this moment, he was prepared to let Tencent continue to live. Perhaps it was for feelings, or perhaps it was for something else. In any case, Ma Huateng had no desire to continue fighting.
After today, perhaps tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or perhaps in the near future, Tencent might still be Tencent. The former Big Senior Brother, Brother Ma, and Pony might never appear in this place again.
The Tencent that belonged to Ma Huateng might completely end after today.
At this moment, everyone inevitably felt a little sad and sad.
Over the years, Ma Huateng had been criticized a lot, and there was a lot of scolding from the outside world. However, Ma Huateng had racked his brains for the strengthening of Tencent, forgetting to eat and sleep, and it was obvious to all!
At this moment, Ma Huateng had abandoned Tencent, which he had brought up.
Perhaps it was not abandonment, but another kind of care.
As long as he was alive, Tencent would still be surnamed Ma. Whether it was Ma Yun, Li Dong, or other giants who took over Tencent, with their personalities, they would eventually fight to the death.
These people would not allow a second voice to appear in the group.
Only when he left, Tencent could regroup and appear in front of everyone with a new face.
When Ma Huateng sat down in front of the computer, Tencent's executives also found a computer to sit down and log into the QQ interface.
This time, it might not be the last time to log into QQ, but it was the last time to log into QQ that belonged to Ma Huateng's era.
At the monitoring center, the number of people online on QQ continued to increase.
17 million … 18 million … 19 million …
…
Just as the number of people online on QQ continued to increase, Li Dong, who was far away in Pingchuan, also contributed to this number.
He opened QQ, which he had not logged in for a long time. The new version did not make Li Dong feel unfamiliar.
The familiar "beep" sounds continued to ring, and the QQ speaker's coughing sound was incessant.
After waiting for a while, Li Dong began to click from top to bottom, one interface after another.
Junior high school classmates, high school classmates, university classmates … there were too many accumulated messages!
Of course, these were the accumulated messages. In fact, the various groups were not as active as before.
Ever since the appearance of PP, the people of Jiangbei had gotten used to using PP, and almost everyone switched to PP.
Nowadays, there were not many people who still used QQ.
Other than today, there were a lot of messages. Sometimes, no one showed up for a month or even a few months.
When Li Dong opened the university classmates' group, there were slightly more people today. Some classmates whose names Li Dong had already forgotten were lamenting in the group, "Life is unpredictable, unbelievable. In the end, QQ still died in the hands of PP. Died in the hands of our classmates. This feeling is indescribable. "
"That's right. I remember when I first entered university, who didn't have a little penguin on their computer? But gradually, this situation became less and less frequent. After graduating from university, almost everyone around me is using Far away products, especially in East China. Far away's influence in East China is too big. "
"To be honest, QQ's experience is not any worse than PP. In addition, it's a long time. Far away's victory is somewhat unfair. Far away might not win if it's just a simple internet company. In fact, the chances of them losing are very high. It's a pity that Tencent lost because their capital is not as strong as Far away's, and they are not as famous as Li Dong. Why did Baidu, Ruixing, and other companies ban Tencent, but Ali, Sina, and other companies do not dare to ban Far away? It's because they are rich, and everyone is afraid of the strong. "
"Although it's a little arbitrary, it's also the truth. There's no other way. Far away helps. Once Tencent is eliminated, there will be no future trouble. Even if Tencent wins this time, they will have to be careful of Far away's revenge next time. Do you think they dare to do so? Unless they are beaten to death, who would be willing to take the risk? "
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this. It's his ability to be rich. Today is the last time I will log in to QQ. After that, I will uninstall it. Use WeChat on my phone and PP on my PC … "
Since Li Dong had never appeared in the group, and the other party's own product was PP, everyone chatted a little more.
If it was in the PP group, no one would say that Far away won unfairly.
Li Dong took a quick glance at it and didn't care about what the others said.
Some things were the truth.
If Far away's overall strength was not so strong, how could they defeat Tencent with just PP and WeChat?
That was a dream!
Tencent's user base was here. Far away would still be overtaken even if they launched WeChat a year earlier.
The key was that Far away did not only have these industries. Mobile phone manufacturers, Far Away Mall, Weibo, Wantoon, including offline industries, as well as Li Dong's personal reputation, including his undefeated legend …
All of these, combined, were the reasons for Tencent's crushing defeat.
Far away did not win in the competition and competition of pure business.
However, victory was victory, defeat was defeat. Far away had this strength, and it was also Far away's capital.
Large enterprises relied on their overall strength to crush small enterprises. This was the business world. The strong preyed on the weak was an unchanging truth since ancient times!
Li Dong stood higher than others and saw further than them. Naturally, he would not be serious about this.
After looking at the university group, Li Dong looked at the other groups. Almost all of them were discussing Tencent and Far away.
After looking at the group messages, Li Dong looked at his personal messages.
He did not have many QQ friends, but it was not a small number either. He had added many people when he was playing in the past.
However, most of them were strangers. Some of them he had added as friends but had never chatted with. Li Dong had long forgotten about these people. They probably did not think that this was Li Dong's account. Unless there was an advertisement, no one would take the initiative to contact Li Dong.
As he looked down, Li Dong's gaze suddenly paused.
Then, he opened a chat interface.
"Are you there?"
"I haven't replied for a few months. Looks like you really don't need this account anymore."
"Li Dong, damn you, when are you coming to see me? You only know how to be busy every day. It's best if you're busy until you die! "
"I suddenly want to find someone to chat with, but I know you're busy. Texting or calling will disturb you. I'm not used to PP, so I'll use QQ. Anyway, you don't need this account anymore. Just treat it as me talking to myself. "
"…"
"Today, Professor Zhang said that I can be his postgraduate student and advised me to continue studying. Li Dong, do you think I should continue studying?"
"…"
"Today, I rejected Professor Zhang and said that I don't want to study anymore. I want to go home and be a full-time wife. In the end, I was scolded by the professor. Li Dong, you evil spirit. You caused me to be laughed at by my classmates! However, I still feel sweet in my heart. Imagine the life of a wife and children. That sounds pretty good! "
"… Today, I feel terrible, really terrible … I thought that we could go all the way to the end. But when I heard them say that Li Dong's girlfriend is Shen Qian … Do you know? I want to cry. I'm so tired and stressed. I hate you so much! Why did you have a change of heart? Can feelings really stand the test of time and distance? "
"…"
"I've graduated. Li Dong, I'm going back. I'm going to give up my business in Beijing. I'll make arrangements for the next few days. When I'm done, I'll go back. I'll give myself one last chance, one last excuse. If I go back and you propose to me, I'll say yes. I'll be your full-time wife. I don't care if it's Shen Qian or anyone else. As long as you say it, I'll say yes. I'll accompany you until the end … "
"It's been a week. You haven't said anything. Li Dong, have you forgotten?"
"…"
"Maybe, I really should give up. We seem to be talking less and less, but we have endless topics to talk about with others …"
"I'm leaving, Pingchuan. It's getting more and more depressing. When I found out that she was living next door to you, even after I came back, it was still the same. I understood that perhaps our fate had long ended. "
"Today, I saw Yuan Xue. That silly woman. She still thinks that I'm her biggest rival. Silly, she's always so silly."
"…"
"You've finally spoken. Actually, on the way back to Dongping, I already guessed it. But I still foolishly held on to that last glimmer of hope. I'm so silly! I kept telling myself not to cry, not to cry. Why couldn't I hold it in? "
"…"
"Today, I saw the news of your marriage. That's good too. You've broken all my extravagant hopes and expectations. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to me, even though you're never online. Maybe you're just like me. QQ is something you used to have, but now, you don't need it anymore … "
As he read the messages one by one, Li Dong, who had quit smoking for a few months, searched around for a long time before he found a pack of cigarettes in the corner. He took one out and lit it up.
These messages were all sent by Qin Yuhan.
The earliest message was more than a year old.
The most recent message was after Li Dong announced his engagement in Beijing. Since then, Qin Yuhan hadn't sent any more messages.
Li Dong took a deep puff of his cigarette and suddenly laughed at himself.
If, if I had seen these messages from the beginning, would I have made the same choice now?
Qin Yuhan gave up her graduate studies and gave up staying in school. She was ready to be a full-time wife after graduation.
But I always felt that she wouldn't accept all this. She had a strong career ambition, and because of Shen Qian's existence, there would be a bigger gap between them.
However, from Qin Yuhan's words, it could be seen that she was ready to accept all this for a period of time.
After graduation, she didn't come back immediately. She was dealing with the dessert house and had made arrangements to give up.
When she came back, Li Dong indeed neglected her. During that time, Li Dong didn't spend much time with her. They didn't even see each other much.
After a few days, Qin Yuhan went to Shanghai and said that she wanted to investigate the market. At that time, Li Dong was actually not very satisfied. She left right after coming back. Was it worth it for a small business?
She didn't get a response from Li Dong. She was disheartened.
Li Dong neglected this point again.
After that, the communication between the two became even less until Cheng Hui's incident happened. Qin Yuhan returned to Pingchuan, and Li Dong made his own choice …
Thinking of this, Li Dong suddenly laughed at himself. "I'm just a mediocre person after all!"
Abruptly closing the computer interface, Li Dong stopped reading.
At this point, he had already made his choice. At this moment, it was useless to think too much. Besides, he had already hurt Qin Yuhan. Was he going to hurt Shen Qian too?
In the end, it would only deepen the wounds between them.
Li Dong put out the cigarette butt, then gritted his teeth and said, "Ma Huateng, if you didn't peep, I, Li Dong, will change my surname to yours!"
This bastard, I even sympathized with him and felt a little sad!
If he didn't see these messages, Li Dong wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. No wonder this guy called me. He said it was his first love and wanted to see me make a fool of myself. He was waiting for me!
