In fact, this was indeed the case.
The influence of the TV station was still very terrifying.
Otherwise, why would Penguin spend money to advertise on the TV station before.
Although the TV station had a wide range of coverage, the pure advertising effect was average.
Coupled with the three waves of Huanyu Technologies, Penguin's advertising basically had no effect.
But now, One Stand to the End.
Although it was actually a program, not an advertisement.
Such a program was even more terrifying than a hard advertisement.
Not to mention that the name of the program was exactly the same as the YY game, One Stand to the End.
Just the test questions were all from the YY game, and to participate in One Stand to the End, one had to log into the YY game to sign up … It could almost be said that the entire program was advertising the YY game for more than an hour.
At the same time, Penguin's QQ market share also fell again and again in the explosion of One Stand to the End.
“9%。”
“8%。”
“7%。”
Looking at QQ's market share falling step by step, Ma Huateng's heart was bleeding.
"Looks like we really have to move bricks."
Although QQ's market share fell to about 4%, it basically stopped falling.
But it could already be said that QQ was dead.
As for why there was still a market share, it was just that their server was still operating.
As long as the server was still operating, there would always be some hardcore fans who would still stay in QQ.
Just like now, some QQ users were constantly posting on the QQ forum.
"I hope Penguin can hold on. I will always use QQ."
"YY is the most disgusting. It completely overshoots QQ. Even if you beat me to death, I don't need YY."
"As long as you don't close the server, I will accompany you until the end of time."
Although these words were touching, the competition in the business world was so cruel.
This kind of market share was useless at all.
And Ma Huateng clearly knew that instant messaging was not comparable to other things.
All the users needed was an instant message.
It was like phone numbers. If you had one phone number, you wouldn't want two.
Now YY had about 95% of the market share, and no one could shake it.
"Close the server."
It was better to have a short pain than a long pain. Ma Huateng made a decision.
"Pony, do you want to wait a little longer?"
"No need."
Ma Huateng shook his head. "There is no value in continuing to operate."
"Then where do we go after closing the server?"
Everyone's heart was uncomfortable.
Along the way, he had accompanied QQ for many years, but in the end, he still had to say goodbye to QQ.
"I haven't decided yet."
Ma Huateng was confused.
No one asked any more questions. They had to think about their future.
"Let's go, we'll get off work early today."
"Inform the finance department tomorrow to calculate the wages of all employees, plus three months of compensation."
"By the way, arrange a meal for everyone. Let's have a good farewell meal."
As he spoke, Ma Huateng couldn't continue. "Also … also, you guys do as you see fit."
…
"Boss Chen, Penguin …"
"What is it?"
"Penguin shut down the server."
"What?"
Extremely surprised, Chen Yu suddenly stood up.
"So fast?"
Chen Yu couldn't believe it.
However, Chen Yu had expected that Penguin would shut down its servers one day.
But even if he expected it, Chen Yu didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
According to Penguin's current situation, even though they didn't have a lot of market share, they could still survive for a few more years if they continued to operate.
Although there was no point in continuing, they would eventually shut down the server.
But who could make the decision to shut down the server so quickly?
"We also think it's too fast."
Zhang Jianming also didn't expect Penguin to shut down the server so quickly.
"Have all the services been stopped?"
"All of them."
"They haven't communicated with us yet?"
"No."
"Why bother?"
Why did they shut it down so quickly?
Even though Penguin's market share wasn't much, they could still sell it to Huanyu Technologies.
"Do they have other arrangements for their employees?"
"I heard that Penguin gave them three months of compensation. Many employees may be ready to find their next job."
"Tell the HR department that if Penguin's employees are willing to come to Huanyu Technologies, we'll settle them down."
"Okay."
In the field of instant messaging, there was still a shortage of talents.
Currently, Huanyu Technologies and Penguin were more experienced in this field.
If Penguin shut down the server, these employees would have to find other companies.
On one hand, Chen Yu didn't want these talents to go elsewhere. On the other hand, for some reason, Chen Yu's mood was a bit heavy. But soon, Chen Yu adjusted his mood. He looked in the direction of Penguin and left the office …
…
"Zhi Dong, you guys go first. I want to be alone for a while."
After the meal, Ma Huateng left the crowd alone and went to the top floor of the building.
Looking at the people walking back and forth, Ma Huateng smiled bitterly.
He didn't expect Penguin to be defeated by a new company that was only two years old.
Although Penguin hadn't been established for long.
"The rooftop is dangerous. If you jump down, you'll be smashed to pieces."
A voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Don't worry, I still want to fight with Huanyu Technologies again. Why would I die?"
Ma Huateng laughed at himself.
"How did you know it was me?"
"I don't know, it's just a feeling."
Ma Huateng jumped down from the rooftop. "How does it feel to defeat a competitor?"
"Not bad."
Chen Yu put the snacks he brought on the stone wall. "Come, drink some."
"Thank you."
"Penguin is actually very good. I used a lot of underhanded means."
Chen Yu told the truth.
"I know, but we're not that open and aboveboard."
Ma Huateng wasn't angry. He said, "Chen Yu, this is the first time we've met."
"Indeed."
Chen Yu took a sip of beer. "But we've been spiritually friends for a long time."
The two offices were close to each other. Although they didn't talk much, to be honest, they knew each other very well.
"Yes, we've been spiritually friends for a long time. Why, are you here to laugh at me? "
"I'm not that bored."
Chen Yu shook his head. "Are you interested in Huanyu Technologies?"
"Huanyu Technologies is already so powerful. What do you want me to do?"
"Actually, I'm very lazy. I don't want to be responsible for too many things. If you come, I'll be much more relaxed."
"What about Li Nan?"
"I heard that after a company monopolizes the market, its innovation ability will deteriorate. In order not to become such a company, I want to start a horse racing mechanism in the company. There can be several teams working on the same project. The team that wins will be responsible. "
"I finally understand why Penguin lost to Huanyu Technologies."
Ma Huateng looked at Chen Yu, who was several years younger than him. To be honest, he admired him.
"Sorry, I don't like to be someone's assistant."
Ma Huateng shook his head.
"Then what are you going to do in the future?"
Chen Yu knew that Ma Huateng would refuse. He asked in person, but the answer was still the same.
"I haven't decided yet."
Ma Huateng shook his head. "I'll probably take a break and see what business I can do."
"Do you need investment?"
"You think so highly of me?"
"I'm avoiding risks. If one of your businesses beats me, I'll vomit blood. If I invest in you earlier, even if you destroy Huanyu Technologies, I'll still have shares. "
"Amazing …"
Ma Huateng gave a thumbs up. "If there's a need, I'll look for you. However, I don't think that's possible."
"It seems that Boss Ma still hates me."
Chen Yu was helpless.
"I don't hate you, but I don't like you either."
Ma Huateng told the truth. "I was a little confused before, but since you came, I've become much more clear-headed."
"Don't tell me you've been thinking of taking revenge on me."
"Hahaha …"
Ma Huateng laughed. "I admire you very much. However, Chen Yu, I won't admit defeat."
While chatting with Chen Yu, Ma Huateng didn't know why, but his heart suddenly felt much calmer.
In the following time, the two didn't talk about business anymore. Instead, they chatted about everything under the sun.
They chatted until the stars appeared in the sky. Ma Huateng looked at the night sky as the wind blew.
"What time is it?"
"10 o 'clock."
"It's so late."
"It's okay."
"I didn't expect to chat with you for so long. People who don't know will think that we're good friends."
"We can be good friends."
"Sorry, I don't want to."
Ma Huateng stood up and patted the dust on his butt. "Let's go. I'm going home to sleep."
"Okay, I'll go back too."
"I'll go first. Don't follow me."
"What's wrong with you?"
"What? You've unified the underworld, but you don't have this kind of bearing?"
Standing at the elevator, Ma Huateng said.
"Okay, Boss Ma, you go first."
Chen Yu was helpless.
"That's more like it."
Ma Huateng was very satisfied and entered the elevator with a smile.
"Brothers of Penguin, thank you."
The moment the elevator door closed, Ma Huateng said.
"You're welcome."
Chen Yu replied with a smile.
Although Ma Huateng couldn't hear it at this time.
