Of course, Boss Jia agreed to Ma Huateng's request. There was no reason not to. Therefore, Boss Jia agreed on the spot and allowed Ma Huateng to join the Daqian Group. At the same time, unexpectedly, he gave Ma Huateng 30 million yuan, which was ten times more than the 3 million yuan.
Anyway, Boss Jia now had more than 70 billion yuan in his G&S Bank account. It would be a waste not to use it.
Then, there was Ma Yun. Regardless of whether Ma Yun had really thought it through, he quickly expressed that minimalism was wrong. The most important thing was to have as many functions as possible.
Boss Jia was very satisfied when he heard this. Then, he told Ma Yun that after the software was released, they could add a show function. It was a cartoon character that could change clothes, hair, glasses, hand gestures, and even gender and appearance to become their own personal image.
Of course, these things would be charged!
Although Ma Yun was very doubtful that anyone would pay for such a meaningless show, since Boss Jia said it, he would do it. Moreover, Boss Jia also gave him 30 million yuan to start his company.
"Oh right," after giving both of them 30 million yuan, Boss Jia suddenly smiled and asked, "Have you thought about the name of your company?"
"I have already thought about it!" Ma Huateng thought that Boss Jia wanted to name his company, so he immediately replied without hesitation. This was his company, and it was better to name it himself.
"I have also thought about it!" Ma Yun nodded. That's right, he should be the one to name his own company.
"Then tell me about it!" Boss Jia asked curiously. After these two people changed companies, Boss Jia was really interested to know the name of their company.
"My company's name is Tencent. Teng means to achieve meteoric success. Xun means that my company is engaged in the Internet information industry, so it's called Tencent. I have already thought of this name!" Ma Huateng said with a smile.
"What about you?" Boss Jia looked at Ma Yun with a complicated expression.
"I originally wanted to call Feng Qingyang Network!" Ma Yun scratched his head. "But Feng Qingyang's name is copyrighted. I can't use that name, so I named myself Alibaba. I don't think this name has any copyright restrictions!"
"Why the name Alibaba? Isn't it better to be called Wang Chongyang? Anyway, Wang Chongyang is a citizen of history, and Old Master Jin doesn't have the copyright! "Ma Huateng asked in confusion.
"Do you remember the last time we went on a business trip to the United States? We ate at a restaurant. I asked the waiter if he knew the name Alibaba," Ma Yun said.
"Oh! Now that I think about it, there is indeed such a thing. I was wondering why you asked such a strange question! "Ma Huateng nodded.
"Actually, I've asked the same question in Fusang. I've been to four different countries, and I've asked them the same question. They all know the name Alibaba."
"This shows that Alibaba is a very well-known name in the world. Everyone has heard of this name. What's more amazing is that Alibaba is pronounced 'Alibaba' in any country in the world. It doesn't even need a translator!"
"My company must go global in the future, and become an international company like Daqian. Of course, I have to give it an international name, a name that everyone in the world can naturally pronounce!" Ma Yun said proudly.
"Cha!" Ma Huateng's face stiffened. Once the name Ma Yun was explained, it would completely suppress his company's name.
Compared to the meaning behind the name Alibaba, his Tencent was simply inferior.
"No! I want to change my name too! "Ma Huateng suddenly shouted.
"You're just a follower. You don't have any opinions at all. You just came up with a name, and now you want to change it!" Ma Yun sneered.
"Who said that? My company's name is still Tencent, but can't I give my product a different name? "Ma Huateng's face turned red, and then this cunning guy suddenly said with conviction.
"Your name is Alibaba, and you've gone to four countries in the world to ask. I don't believe that everyone in these countries has heard the story of Alibaba. At least, most of the Africans have never heard of the name Alibaba! Your name is not an international name at all! "
"If my name is not international, then can you find a name that is more international than my name?" Ma Yun suddenly became angry.
"Of course there is!" Ma Huateng's eyes turned, and then he said, "I've decided. From today onwards, my e-commerce platform will be called 'QQ.'"
"What?" Ma Yun was stunned. "What kind of Chinese or English words are you using?"
"It's not Chinese or English words. It's just two simple English letters: QQ!" Ma Huateng proudly wrote down the two words QQ on a piece of paper, and then said, "I can guarantee that even in Africa, most people can pronounce our company's name. This is a real international name!"
"F * ck …" Ma Yun was speechless. This Ma Huateng is really shameless!
"Hahahaha!" When the two people were about to quarrel, Boss Jia suddenly couldn't help but start laughing.
Interesting, it was really interesting. Boss Jia never thought that he would actually witness the birth of two companies, Tencent QQ and Taobao Alibaba, today. However, history played a big joke on him. QQ became an e-commerce platform, and Alibaba became an instant messaging software.
In the future, netizens would buy new clothes on QQ, and then they couldn't wait to go to Alibaba's space to show off. This was too f * cking interesting.
Amidst Boss Jia's laughter, Ma Yun and Ma Huateng's entrepreneurial path was decided. However, they couldn't start a business or resign immediately this year.
It was almost December now, and there were less than two months before the Chinese New Year. Ma Yun and Ma Huateng were the company's president and vice president. If both of them resigned at the same time, the Fusang Daqian would stop operating directly.
Therefore, Ma Yun and Ma Huateng's next task was to use two months to train their successors so that they could take over their jobs in the Fusang Daqian.
Boss Jia then made a series of important decisions. First, Boss Jia announced at a press conference in Fusang that the "Red Alert" International Championship would be held, and the first and last games would be held in Fusang.
This news immediately caused the entire Fusang to celebrate. In fact, the popularity and status of "Red Alert" in Fusang was now higher than "Pokemon". Moreover, "Red Alert" was obviously more competitive and entertaining than "Pokemon". One could imagine how great the impact of this international championship would be once it was launched.
The simplest thing was that when the news of this competition was released, all the major brands in Fusang approached the Daqian, hoping to sponsor this competition. The sponsorship fee for all the companies started from 40 million USD. It was awesome!
At the same time, Boss Jia also went to Nintendo. He had an important matter to discuss with Nintendo.
