Chapter Seventy-Six: Crisis

"1000 degrees UC, your most intimate instant messaging tool is newly launched. This is the content of the Qiandu search pop-up ad.

The internet giants have finally struck. Seeing this news, Zhu Ziqing sighed in his heart. And it's a monopoly giant like Qiandu who made the shot.

took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Gan Zhuo, but after looking at Feng Zhengyuan and the others, he put the mobile phone in his pocket again. The roommate is here, it's inconvenient.

You must go out and rent a house, the dormitory is too inconvenient. At this time, Zhu Ziqing remembered what Lin Baoer had told about having a house for rent. I forgot about it when I was too busy these days. Now that I'm done, I'm going to ask her about it.

After saying hello to the three of them, Zhu Ziqing put on his coat and walked outside the dormitory building.

It's Friday, and the students are out for the night. The campus seemed empty and deserted. I found a place where no one was and was about to dial over, but my phone rang. At first glance, it was Ganzhuo.

"I'm Zhu Ziqing. ”

"Hello Mr. Zhu, I'm Gan Zhuo. Are you busy now?" Gandra said in a hoarse voice over the microphone.

"It's okay, I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call first. What's wrong with your throat? If you're sick, go and see it, don't drag it out. Although he was very anxious, Zhu Ziqing did not ask directly about work, but cared about Gan Zhuo's body.

Although he doesn't know much about the way of man, he still understands some of the way of being a person.

"Thank you Mr. Zhu for your concern, I'm fine. Gan Zhuo's tone was obviously a little warmer than just now: "Has Mr. Zhu seen the news of Qiandu UC?"

"I just saw it, and that's why I called you. Qiandu UC: What's going on, have you investigated it clearly?" asked Zhu Ziqing.

"It's basically clear. Qiandu acquired four other instant messaging apps and combined them to form what is now UC...... I saw the product, and all the functions are imitating our QQ......"

After Gan Zhuo's introduction, Zhu Ziqing roughly understood the situation. Qiandu has noticed MSI QQ for a long time. Although he doesn't understand the sound on the surface, he has been secretly collecting the details of MSI QQ. Measure the value of the instant messaging market.

As Zhu Ziqing thought earlier. QQ's operating model has no technical content at all. It's just that everyone has gone into a misunderstanding.

Now that there is a role model of QQ, others can find business opportunities as long as they pay a little attention.

Qiandu quickly figured out the truth of the matter. With such a huge industry, of course, he also wants to intervene. So he acquired four instant messaging tools and combined them to form what is now UC.

These four communication tools have basically lost customers under the squeeze of QQ, and they are already on the verge of bankruptcy. The acquisition of Qiandu is a pie in the sky for them.

Although a significant part of the customer flow has passed. But the four companies still have more than 15 million users combined. So that Qiandu UC instantly sat on the second place in the industry. Second only to QQ's 73 million.

Don't think that this gap is huge. Qiandu occupies 80% of the domestic search engine market. He has the ability to make UC appear in front of all netizens in an instant. With this kind of convenience, it is simply too easy to surpass QQ.

"Have any of our employees been poached?" Zhu Ziqing asked the question he was most worried about.

"There were a couple of employees who quit abruptly some time ago, and I didn't think much of it at the time. I investigated it today, and it's all in 1000 degrees. Gandra said in a deep voice.

Zhu Ziqing's heart sank, and what he was most afraid of happened. But still with the last expectation, he asked, "How many secrets do they have?"

"They are the technical backbone of each department. Gandra replied with difficulty.

"I see, you pay close attention to Qiandu's movements. I'll fly back to Mingzhu early tomorrow morning, and we'll meet and talk. Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath and said in a flat tone.

It's not that he's not worried. It's not that it's not annoyed. It's about knowing that getting angry won't solve anything. It will only make things worse.

After hanging up, he used the phone to book the next morning's highest flight.

Back in the dormitory, he downloaded the Qiandu UC client. Only by seeing each other's products can we think of ways to deal with them.

As Gan Zhuo said, although the appearance of Qiandu UC is different from QQ, its functions are to copy QQ. See this happens. Zhu Ziqing was not only not angry, but breathed a sigh of relief.

It's all plagiarism. It's all plagiarism, which means that the other party hasn't fully figured out the rules. Or that I have figured out the rules, but I haven't found my way for a while.

If he imitates, let him imitate well, and it is better to imitate all the time without introducing his own characteristics. When the time comes, I will let him know what it means to be 'always imitated, never surpassed'.

Of course, he also knew that it was just a luxury. Qiandu rashly entered the instant messaging market and needed an adaptation period. Once he gets used to it. QQ doesn't have any advantages at all.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhu Ziqing got up and rushed to the airport. This time, he did not let Lin Baoer accompany her, and the finishing work of the exchange meeting was not completed, and she couldn't leave it.

When I arrived at Mingzhu, I got off the plane and got on the company's special car, which was already waiting at the airport gate. All the way to the company.

When he arrived at the company, he obviously felt that the employees were a little impetuous, and many people did not work but got together and whispered. Seeing Zhu Ziqing walk in, he suddenly scattered.

Zhu Ziqing just glanced at it, but did not speak. The company's future is worrying, and it will naturally be unstable. We should not expect others to share our weal and suffering with us.

A large conference room with all department heads and above present. But at this time, everyone's faces are not very good-looking. When Zhu Ziqing walked in, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The moment he saw Zhu Ziqing, it was as if he had found the backbone of the heart, and the expressions on the faces of many people were much soothed.

These Zhu Ziqing didn't know, walked to his place and sat down, glanced around and said:

"I won't gossip too much, let's get straight to the point. I believe that the purpose of today's meeting is well known, and now let Mr. Gan give you a detailed introduction to the situation of Qiandu UC. ”

Hearing his name, Gan Zhuo was not polite, and he didn't even take the document at hand, so he opened his mouth and said. He has read the information of Qiandu UC no less than ten times, and he is already familiar with it.

"That's probably the case, the time is too short and the amount of information we can collect is really limited. This morning, 100 degrees UC made a few changes for us. ”

The overall situation is no different from what Zhu Ziqing was told yesterday. However, after the introduction, he added:

"First, they lowered the requirements for group building. You can create a group with an application number, and you don't need any requirements.

Second, pet function. There are only two ways for us to get pets on QQ. Either do activities to get them, or get pet eggs from people who have pets. UC has also been changed to get pets by creating an account.

Third, QQ Show ......"

This action of 1000 degrees is really not small. And vigorously. All the means used by QQ to attract users have been destroyed, and by the way, most of QQ's ways to make profits have been blocked.

"They want to crush us with their strength. Zhu Ziqing instantly grasped Qiandu's intention.

In doing so, he not only blocked QQ's way to make profits, but also blocked his own way. This method is completely killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself, which is not beneficial to anyone. But that's what they did. Without it, the strength is strong.

Qiandu has a strong family background, even if UC has not been profitable, it can persevere. But QQ is different, it all depends on Zhu Ziqing for blood transfusion. If they can't make a profit for a long time, the only way waiting for them is bankruptcy.

Zhu Ziqing imagined countless possibilities, but he never thought that Qiandu would use such a method. People don't compete with you at all. Directly crush you with strength. Wait until all your opponents are defeated before coming out to clean up the mess.

It's not easy for a company to become an Internet giant. If you don't make a move, you will hit him with a straight shot.

If you change companies, you may well be defeated. It's a pity that the opponent you met was me. Zhu Ziqing said secretly in his heart.

"That's the way it is. What countermeasures do you have?" Zhu Ziqing asked with a flat expression.

The rest of the people were speechless, if it weren't for this targeted action of Qiandu UC this morning, they would still have the confidence to fight hard. But now, they really can't do anything.

"Mr. Zhu. There's only one way I can think of. Gandra said suddenly.

Say. Zhu Ziqing said.

"Financing. Gandra spat out these two words with difficulty.

"Financing? Not to mention whether anyone is willing to invest. And even if there were, how much money would we be able to finance with our current situation? So this path simply won't work. Zhu Ziqing unceremoniously rejected his suggestion.

Not being able to finance money is just an excuse. The real situation is that financing is too bad at this time.

Others don't know how much potential the instant messaging market has, but he does. In the previous life, QQ created a trillion empire. So as long as there is a little way, I will not take the road of financing.

What's more, he hasn't reached the point of exhaustion yet, and with the experience of his previous life, he is still confident in dealing with Qiandu UC. Even if it's not good, you can be equal to him.

"Whoever has any other way to say, don't hide it at this time. It doesn't matter if it's useful or not. Say it all. Let's refer to it. Zhu Ziqing knocked on the table and said.

At this time, a young woman in her twenties stood up and said, "I have a few comments about the latest changes in UC. ”

"Speak. Zhu Ziqing said.

This woman knows that Qian Yueyue, a newly recruited sales manager, has recently been recruited. Mainly responsible for the promotion of QQ value-added services.

"The ultimate purpose of recharging membership or buying virtual goods is to enjoy privileges. The changes to 100 degrees UC are aimed at this.

Pull all players to a level. No privileges. Naturally, no one wants to top up their money. My solution is to reconstruct a new system of privileges. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ziqing's eyes lit up. Qian Yueyue's analysis exhausts the essence of membership.

"We've also lowered the standard for group building to zero. But level zero can only create 100 people, and only three groups can be created. Level 16 can create a crowd of five hundred, a crowd of ten hundred...... Members can directly build a thousand-person ......

QQ pets are the same, just give the number. However, the pet issued by the system is only in the form of a penguin. Do quests to get pets with the image of other animals...... Open the pet community, and the game Pet Smash Bros. will be launched soon......"

The more he listened, the more surprised Zhu Ziqing became. Was this really what she came up with on the spot? These suggestions perfectly defused the attack of Qiandu UC. He also took advantage of the situation and fought back.

“…… That's all for my opinion, and I ask you to correct me. After speaking, Qian Yueyue sat down and looked at Zhu Ziqing.

"Papapa......" Zhu Ziqing didn't speak, and took the lead in applauding. Then the whole room burst into applause.

Seeing that her suggestion was recognized, Qian Yueyue's face turned red with excitement. However, he still calmly accepted everyone's applause.

"Director Qian said very well, and I fully agree with her opinion. Do you have anything else to add?" the applause stopped, and Zhu Ziqing asked again.

The rest of the people shook their heads, saying that they had no better opinions. Zhu Ziqing nodded and said, "Then follow this method." Mr. Gan turned around, you and Director Qian had a good communication and came up with a specific and feasible solution. ”

"Okay, I understand. Gan Zhuo glanced at Qian Yueyue, turned his head and said to Zhu Ziqing. The gloom on his face finally dissipated quite a bit.

"Mr. Gan, is there still a lack of a manager in our planning department?" Zhu Ziqing suddenly asked. (To be continued.) )
