Chapter 588: The Penguin Who Sees the Stitches (1st Update)
3 September 2008.
Just two days after Yoyo's last announcement, they issued a new one, or more like a letter of apology.
First of all, admit that Tieba and Weibo both belong to a joint venture company, and Yoyo does have shares, but no right to operate.
Then he sincerely apologized to the patient who received false medical information, and Yoyo was willing to bear all the money he spent.
Finally, he said that Liu Yun, the helmsman of Youyou, has announced that Weibo and Tieba have officially separated, and are now preparing to start the handover work.
Shortly after this announcement was released, public opinion was in an uproar.
This is Yoyo's reply to the public, the determination of a strong man to break his wrist.
Industry insiders can see at a glance that once Weibo and Tieba are separated, it will be a lose-lose situation.
Because of this, the original Weibo users need to re-register if they want to log in to Tieba, and the same is true for the users of the Antisense Tieba.
Soon after this announcement was issued, Liu Yun also updated his personal Weibo: I always believe that a large company with a certain amount of influence should have its moral bottom line that must be followed. We should be role models in society and promote more positive and positive energy.
From beginning to end, Yoyo is a company with moral blood, so it is willing to take the responsibility that it should bear.
Yoyo is not without black spots, such as the industry that accounts for the largest share of their revenue, is online games.
Nowadays, the public and the media have mixed reviews of online games.
Some people believe that this is an important industry in the Internet age and should be guided and encouraged, while others believe that online games are spiritual opium and should be stopped to prevent those young people from becoming addicted to them.
But compared to the penguin in the deep city, although Yoyo made a lot of money through the game, he never blatantly plagiarized
An announcement, a Weibo, a big reversal in the public opinion environment, at least they dared to face the doubts of netizens frankly and directly, and gave a sincere reply.
On the other hand, Baidu has been playing the trick of kicking the ball, saying that this matter is the responsibility of the outsourcing party, and now they are investigating, and they will reply when they have the results.
When will you reply? They didn't give a specific time.
As soon as netizens compared the completely different attitudes of the two companies, they were even more dissatisfied, and the accusations against Baidu became even more turbulent.
......
Li Yanhong, who was far away in Yanjing, had also learned what happened in the conference room that day.
That night, he directly called He Zengguang to hurry back to the company's headquarters.
"You're so naΓ―ve. Lao Li's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and there was a thumping sound.
"Childish?" He Zengguang explained, "Mr. Li, I have to defend the company's reputation, and I can't let the kid surnamed Liu slander him like this." β
Lao Li squinted his eyes slightly and said, "The kid surnamed Liu, what qualifications do you think you have to call him that." He was the founder of Yoyo and rose from scratch to the status of today's Big Four. β
He Zengguang was silent and speechless.
Lao Li continued: "Liu Yun's scheming is very deep, and he is angry at you for a purpose. With such a release, he can confidently separate Weibo from Tieba. β
He Zengguang said: "Mr. Li, I understand this. But what he wants, doing so is a lose-lose result. β
Lao Li frowned slightly and said, "I can't guess his purpose for doing this, but I'm sure you fell into the trap he planned." β
As one of the giants of the Internet, he must think more deeply and comprehensively than his subordinates.
But he still can't guess what the other party thinks, this is a guy who often takes unexpected steps.
Just like when Baidu was struggling in the e-commerce market, he invested in JD.com without hesitation, and it seems that the effect is not bad.
"Weibo's wings are stiff, and I want to take the opportunity to break up, which is a trick to cross the river and tear down the bridge. β
After thinking for a while, Mr. Li came to such a conclusion.
"Mr. Li, we can't always follow Yoyo, even if we want to split up, they have to pay us a sum of money, without the drainage of the sticker, their early user accumulation cannot be so fast. When He Zengguang spoke, he looked very unwilling.
"If things can't be undone, I'm definitely going to fight for a little compensation. Lao Li thought for a while and said.
He was going to talk to Liu Yun for a while.
......
Guangdong Province, Shencheng.
Li Dong returned to the office with some loss and lay on the sofa weakly.
Although the scandal of Tieba has been rumored in the past few days, I have not had the leisure to pay attention to this matter at all, which I was so anxious about Tencent Weibo.
Tencent Weibo needs a big star to boost it, and then attract a large number of loyal users and huge traffic. He had no choice but to fight with his back.
He wanted to find some K-pop stars, because he hated these sissy guys from the bottom of his heart, but their popularity in Huaxia was indeed very high.
It didn't take long for him to dismiss the idea.
He needs a star who must be popular, have a huge number of fans, and must not flash like a meteor, what he needs is an evergreen tree.
But those Hallyu stars, like industrial products on the assembly line, are mass-produced, batch after batch.
If the previous batch is out of freshness and outdated, it can be replaced by a new batch immediately, and their cycle is too short.
At this time, Li Dong thought of a popular saying widely circulated on the Internet: Korean stars with flowing water, Jay Chou with iron.
So he took his team and went to Taiwan, but the result was still a feather.
Jay Chou has opened Twitter not long ago, and he is not very interested in opening Tencent Weibo.
He thought of Mr. Ma's entrustment again, and the benefits can be given appropriately, but not too much, so that people can see Tencent clearly.
Because for Xiao Ma, the Weibo project has never been the core business. So in his opinion, for this little thing, he can't tolerate whispering to a singer.
It's not the core for penguins, but for themselves, it's the most critical battle in their careers.
But this crucial battle seems to have been exhausted.
For that king singer, he was a little angry, and scolded secretly: What a big name!
Li Dong was angry, and turned his brain to think of a way to retaliate.
He was going to create a rumor in QQ Space: The Tianwang singer only donated 50,000 yuan in the earthquake, and then in an interview with Taiwanese media, he swore that I am not from China, and donating 50,000 yuan is already a lot.
"I'm going to ruin him!"
If Liu Yun knew Li Dong's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely be surprised to say, it turns out that the rumors in his previous life came from like this? (It's just a spoof~)
After lying down for a while, Li Dong sat back in his place, turned on the computer, and prepared to execute his plan.
When he opened the web page and took a casual look, his eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly came to his senses.
The headline of many portals reads: Yoyo Weibo and Baidu Tieba are officially separated!
A thought kept flashing through his mind: I have a chance!
It was only half a day after the news came out, and the project team of Tencent Weibo knew the news.
We need to take advantage of the situation and seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Li Dong immediately dialed the phone: "Hey, is it the office? Book me two air tickets to Taiwan immediately." β
On the other end of the phone, a female voice said helplessly: "Mr. Li, what's the matter with you, haven't you just been to Taiwan, why are you going to go again just now?" Is it that the girl in Taiwan has too much voice, so you can't forget it?"
Li Dong didn't have time to talk to this eighth woman, and said: "Director Wang, I'm going to Taiwan to do business, it's very urgent." β
The woman known as Director Wang said: "I said Mr. Li, you have been to Taiwan twice in a month, and there are too many times, I can't be the master, you have to apply to the above." β
Li Dong was slightly stunned, remembering that the company seemed to have such a rule, and he applied to go out a little often, and he still went to Taiwan.
Time was running out, he gritted his teeth and said: "I'll pay the business trip expenses myself, deduct them from my salary, and help me book two air tickets first." β
There was no way out, so Li Dong decided to give it a go.
At the same time, Brother Xiao Ma also received the news of the separation of Tieba and Weibo.
For a long time, he was not convinced that Liu Yun had overpowered him on Weibo.
Although the world does not look at the process, only the result.
But Brother Xiao Ma understands that in this Weibo battle, Tencent is fighting against three companies on its own, Youyou, Sina, and Baidu.
Although Sina's size is a little smaller, it is also the top spot in the field of portals and community forums.
These three companies are united, and if the penguin can still win, Brother Pony himself feels unreasonable, so he is not wronged if he loses.
After Brother Xiao Ma saw the news, he felt that Liu Yun was a little unkind.
Since we are partners, we should be in the same boat.
This kind of practice of immediately turning his face and clearing up the relationship, Brother Xiao Ma secretly scolded shamelessly.
Obviously, he had long forgotten that Penguin had copied all the way and piled up the bones of many small Internet companies.
Brother Xiao Ma's subconscious is to regard Yoyo as his biggest competitor, so he inevitably brings a pair of colored glasses.
"What can I gain from this strife?" He squinted his eyes slightly, and involuntarily lowered the frame.
After hesitating for a moment, he dialed Li Yanhong's phone.
"Mr. Li, I want to talk to you. β
"Liu Yunneng is not kind, I feel unfair for you. β
At this time, Brother Xiao Ma is like an empathetic confidant big sister, comforting the wronged Lao Li.
Both of them are old foxes, and they tacitly shush each other and ask for warmth.
After chatting for a while, Brother Xiao Ma was about to cut to the chase, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Li, Tieba and Weibo are really ready to separate?"
Of course, Lao Li knew what kind of medicine was sold in this guy's gourd, so he replied: "Of course, the words have already reached this point, and Yoyo has already made an announcement, so there should be no room for recovery." β
Brother Xiao Ma continued to reply: "Mr. Li, I always thought that without the drainage of Baidu Tieba at the beginning, Weibo would not be able to reach the point where it is today. I feel sorry for you!"
It's not bad if you kid don't be miserable.
Lao Li gently tugged at his tie, glanced out the window, and couldn't help pouting.
"Mr. Li, the volume of Tencent Weibo is not small, are you interested in thinking about it? I look forward to the cooperation between Tencent and Baidu. β
Sure enough, this guy's call was by no means uneventful.
Lao Li thought for a while and said, "I'm not very interested, I'm afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past." β
Repeat?
Brother Xiao Ma understood, and the other party was worried that he would cross the river and tear down the bridge like Liu Yun.
"Mr. Li, you still don't know what Ma Huateng is like?
Lao Li rolled his eyes, I don't know who you are? How many companies have been forced to death by you.
