Where in the world is there any impermeable wall, after the fight with 360 has shifted from the sanctions on the bright side to the lawsuit on the dark side, Penguin finally knows about the WeChat product.

Deep City, Penguin Headquarters,

Brother Xiao Ma looked at the information sent by the secretary and frowned.

After Penguin's experience of 3Q battles and layoffs, the number of meetings has gradually decreased, which is his improvement in Penguin's decision-making power, and he no longer needs useless meetings to waste execution time.

But the information in front of him still made him want to hold a meeting immediately.

But it was just a thought, and Brother Pony only hesitated for a second to forget about it.

The war of words is annoying, if it weren't for Zhang Long's reminder to make him make up his mind, God knows that this internal rectification would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

But it's precisely because of Zhang Long.

Leaving the penguin and going to Hongcheng, Brother Xiao Ma still got a piece of news that surprised him and even made him angry, but he didn't know why, he just couldn't afford to lose any temper.

"Wechatting Technology..."

Little Pony rarely smiled, but there was no one else in the office, so he smiled.

Zhang Long joined the company that he didn't see any future for development, and took the team with him, for the huge penguin, it was only a small story supporting the building, and as long as the same model of columns were replaced, it didn't make much difference.

But this new micro-chat technology finally entered his sight.

“... Is that why you left the company? ”

Brother Xiao Ma looked at the information and muttered to himself, the part about WeChat on the information is very straightforward, saying that this product seriously plagiarized Penguin's QQ, and maliciously drained traffic on major platforms to destroy the market, and the company needs to immediately take strong measures to investigate the legal responsibility of Weichat Technology Co., Ltd.

It was the contents of an email sent to him by one of the penguin's project managers, printed out and presented on his desk, but now it made him frown.

Wechat.. Even if the company's registered place is not Hongcheng, and even the company's controller is an unrelated figure, there is a shadow of equity holding in it, no need to make special inquiries, Xiao Ma Ge knows that this is definitely Zhang Long's handiwork.

And with the help of an information channel, he also got the news that Zhang Long is the president of Weichat Technology.

It doesn't matter what else it is, but it's him.

Who is Zhang Long, the person who turned the tide when QQ Mailbox was on the verge of delisting in the face of MSN pressure, a project manager who also pursues a minimalist and artistic style, and can also be a friend of his.

If there was to be a meeting, Xiao Ma did not hesitate to imagine that those under his command would label Zhang Long as a traitor and blame him more, but in addition, he could not provide too many effective suggestions that fit his mind.

He furrowed his eyebrows, originally there was no need for any hesitation to deal with these things, the interests of the company were paramount, and there was no need to have any pity and sympathy for a person who had already left the company.

The project was initiated by Zhang Long, and Penguin had no way to let him continue the project, so he went to Hongcheng and used a college student startup as a springboard to create a mobile Internet company that really met his mind.

He did it.

By chasing the shell given to him by the waves, he did what he wanted to do.

Brother Ma couldn't help but think of the internal email that Zhang Long gave him at that time, saying that the mobile instant messaging market is very important, and it is necessary to develop a communication product that is truly suitable for mobile terminals, but most people's definition of this suggestion is unnecessary.

Even he thinks so.

With QQ, why do you need a replacement QQ product?

It doesn't take much effort to develop a QQ for mobile phones.

So he was not optimistic, so what was supposed to be a Penguin project has now become a small company.

The same instant messaging market, even if it is mobile, he can still define this as a declaration of war and provocation against penguins.

He felt a little upset, not only because Zhang Long left in a bad mood, but also because of the situation that can be said to be confrontational, the 3Q war is not over yet, this is a protracted war, but now, there is a new problem on the mobile terminal, a problem that he has to pay attention to.

Exhaling heavily, Brother Pony picked up the landline next to him and dialed it out.

"Hey, who's that?" Zhang Long's voice was still calm.

"It's me."

“pony？ I thought you wouldn't call me again. Zhang Long smiled and said.

"Are you working on a WeChat project?" It's one thing to know, it's another to ask.

"Well, I really value this project." Zhang Long didn't deny it, he seemed to know that Brother Xiao Ma would make a phone call sooner or later.

Brother Pony pondered for a moment and said to Zhang Long: "I know you won't stop this project, and I don't think you will expect my men to show mercy, but are you really ready?" ”

Zhang Long knew what Brother Xiao Ma was asking, and he said quite easily: "Do you mean the preparation to grab the market with your hands?" I don't think Pony is going to play a money-burning war with me for an unformed market. ”

Little Pony frowned and whispered, "You know there's no point, don't you?" ”

"It seems that you didn't listen to my advice at the time, now that we are competitors, I won't say too much, pony your time is precious, if there is nothing to do, don't bother each other." Zhang Long said.

used to be an employee of Penguin, but now the conversation is in an equal tone, and Brother Pony is very uncomfortable and even disgusted, but he still said: "I have carried out a rectification, and now the company's environment is very good, if you want, you can come back." ”

"No, it doesn't make sense."

"Then does it make sense for you to stay in that shabby place in Hongcheng and wait to be beaten by me?" For the first time, Brother Pony said with some annoyance.

Zhang Long smiled heartily: "Haha, I thought you wouldn't care, or you wouldn't care so early." ”

Brother Xiao Ma took a deep breath and tried his best to be very calm and said: "Come back, or I buy the company, you are the hero of the development of the mailbox, I neglected you before, I should give you better treatment and compensation, the vice president of the mobile communication project, the annual salary of five million, this is the price I offered, I hope you think about it, I don't want us to end up in the same situation as 360 and QQ, that's not good, very bad." ”

"Haha, when you feel that you can't convince people in reason, you always like to throw money, which is very in line with your style, but you really don't need to, you can still come back in style? You know it's impossible. Zhang Long joked with a smile.

"Then you'll have to wait."

Brother Pony snorted coldly and hung up the phone very hard.

This gentlemanly and elegant man once again did something that did not quite match his image.

"Incorrigible."

He took a deep breath and cursed in a low voice, not knowing what he was scolding.

....

"The penguins are going to move."

Putting down the phone, Zhang Long said to Zhou Yan next to him with a smile.

Zhou Yan knew that Brother Xiao Ma and Zhang Long were on the phone, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sooner or later, I just didn't expect them to react so slowly." ”

"The plate is big, and it's always a little sluggish in some ways." Zhang Long smiled: "Next, we have to prepare to wrestle with the penguins, to be honest, now is not the right time to fight against the penguins, after all, we are not completely ready, but with Ali and 360 in the way, in fact, there is no need to worry too much." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhang, you can think about these things, and now I should also talk to the bank about cooperation." ”

In addition to negotiating a cooperation agreement with Ali in the past few days, Zhou Yan has also mobilized the resources of the studio and the company, and has set up a more decent pilot project in Hongda, with catering, shopping, and transportation, and now it is time to hand in the answer sheet.

Overall, Zhou Yan is still quite satisfied.

...

At the gate of Hung University,

Zhou Yan has been waiting for a long time, and Zhou Wan is beside him, Zhou Wan is dressed more formally, the lady's suit is very temperamental on her body, white shirt, black tie, and long black hair tied into a ponytail, capable and at the same time has a bit of gentle and generous taste in it.

This is a formal meeting with Aunt Tang or President Tang, if you take into account the factor of Tang Sugar, Zhou Yan actually wants to take Aunt Tang to inspect alone, but Sweep is the project that Zhou Wan is responsible for developing, although Zhou Yan is the promoter of the project, but Zhou Wan is obviously more able to give some unique insights, and also for the in-depth cooperation in the future, it has obviously become a must to take Zhou Wan to meet the campus pilot inspection together.

Tang Xin's people hadn't come over yet, and Zhou Wan also chatted with Zhou Yan.

"Zhou Yan, the exam for changing majors may be held at the end of this month, are you ready?"

"I've read some books about it." Zhou Yan was rarely serious, but he smiled and quipped: "Is Xiaowan worried that I won't be able to get by?" ”

Zhou Wan listened to Zhou Yan's title, in fact, she had acquiesced to this kind of relationship above friends before, but she was still a little unnatural, she patted Zhou Yan to hide her nervousness, "No, the exam for changing majors is very simple, except for mathematics and English, the questions related to the major are also relatively shallow, Zhou Yan, you can cope with the past." ”

"yes, I know." Zhou Yan shrugged his shoulders and said rather narcissistically: "It's really a little bit for me. ”

Zhou Wan glanced at Zhou Yan, she was used to Zhou Yan's occasional narcissism.

After that, Zhou Wan and Zhou Yan chatted about some studio things, with the foundation just now, Zhou Wan and Zhou Yan returned to their previous relaxed state, and they didn't speak unfamiliarly because they didn't see each other for a few days, and even Zhou Yan called Xiaowan several times, and Zhou Wan didn't object.

She thought it was very strange, the way the two of them dealt with it was not lovers, but it was far more than a friend, and even she thought about Zhou Yan mentioning being a sister and brother, but she felt that it shouldn't come to this point.

Soon, a BMW drove up and stopped on the side of the road.

After that, Tang Xin walked down, as well as her assistant secretary Song Qian.

Zhou Yan knew Song Qian, knew that she was a top student of Shuimu University, and Song Qian, who was a guest at Tang Xin's house several times, would come over to deliver documents or something, and she was familiar with it after coming and going, but the two did not have any intersection, and she said no more than five sentences, Song Qian was delicate and capable, and she was estimated to be beautiful with makeup, and if she didn't wear makeup, she would be beautiful at most.

And with Aunt Tang here, Song Qian naturally became the background board.

This is the first time Zhou Yan has seen Tang Xin look at work in his clothes.

Wearing makeup, her jet-black hair is lightly tied together, and the slightly broken hair makes her a few years younger, and a formal uniform makes her more noble and pleasant at the same time, approachable and has no sense of distance.

It's a special intimate feeling.

Because it was a more formal meeting, Tang Xin simply greeted Zhou Yan: "Xiao Zhou." ”

She saw Zhou Wan beside Zhou Yan, but she smiled.

At this time, Song Qian also paid attention to Zhou Wan, and there was more surprise in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Zhou Yan said hello to Zhou Wan in advance, Zhou Wan knew that the woman in front of her who looked and had a good temperament was the mother of Zhou Yan's high school classmates, but she still stepped forward very politely to introduce herself, she said with a smile: "Hello President, I am Zhou Wan, the person in charge of the sweeping project." ”

Tang Xin smiled and nodded: "Hello." ”

She didn't say much about greetings, after all, it was a matter of work.

"Take me to the campus to have a look, I also want to know the details of the pilot." Tang Xin said.

"Okay."

...

On campus,

The group first came to a small campus shop.

There were students coming in and out of the shop, and Tang Xin noticed that the students would directly scan the QR code when paying, and then show the payment interface to the boss, so that they could take the goods and leave.

"This is a collection code function, and it has been successfully promoted in Hongda's small merchant group."

Zhou Wan explained with a smile that Song Qian, who accompanied her, was in charge of recording, and it was the first time she had seen this novel payment model and was very interested.

The promotion of WeChat is very successful, Song Qian is also using WeChat, but she still belongs to the category of Xiaobai in terms of functional exploration of WeChat, Song Qian is more inclined to paper money payment in terms of payment, and most of WeChat's transfer functions are also used in customers and friend groups, and the ecology of the payment code model in WeChat is not as convenient as transfer, so it is normal for Song Qian not to be in contact with it.

And this is also the current situation of many WeChat users.

After all, scanning the code to pay or something, generally only landing on the physical merchant can be seen more intuitively.

Song Qian also played a role at this time.

"Hello boss, I am from the bank to investigate, I want to ask about the QR code collection, do you have time?" Song Qian came to the aunt of the shop quite formally and said.

Aunt Xiaodian doesn't know Song Qian, but a few days ago, someone promoted the novel thing of QR code collection with her, which depends on the real convenience, and the money can indeed be withdrawn and transferred into the card, and the bookkeeping and tax declaration are also very aspect, and the aunt of the small shop quickly accepted this new way of collecting money, and now in the face of bank research, she can't let go, but she still smiled and said: "There is time, little girl, let me tell you, this thing is really easy to use, it is very convenient to collect money, as long as you take a photo with your mobile phone, the money will come." ”

Aunt Xiaodian is a self-familiar character, and she answered a few questions from Song Qian very cooperatively, and when the group left, she also smiled and said, "Come often in the future." ’

After that, the group inspected a series of merchants in physical stores, and Song Qian played the role of asking questions and taking notes, and after researching these merchants, she quickly came to a conclusion.

The role of QR codes is very large, in Hongda, students who use mobile phones to scan the code to pay are much more than those who pay directly with money, and merchants generally accept this model.

"Let's go to the restaurant and have a look." Zhou Wan proposed at this time.

Song Qian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Is the restaurant also this mode of scanning code payment?" ”

Zhou Wan smiled and shook her head: "Not only that, but there are also scan codes to place orders." ”
