Oh, yes!

Large enterprises themselves have the capital and strength, and many companies are more willing to accept them than to save some money.

It's about spending some money for peace of mind.

That's all that matters!

The funny thing is that they naively thought that Penguin could quickly accumulate a lot of wealth by opening up the group chat function and binding it to the enterprise.

Even many people felt it at the beginning.

Just 500,000 meters of knives, they can earn it with their eyes closed.

But now......

They were wrong.

Outrageously wrong, very wrong!

"Big companies are not short of money, and we made a mistake in positioning it from the beginning."

"So what's next?"

"Since big business isn't our target, what about MSMEs?"

"Yes, small and medium-sized enterprises can accept us, right? But why has it been so long since so many have been won? ”

“……”

Some people are puzzled, but they are still unwilling to die.

But this time, however, Mawalten just shook his head.

Zeng Liqing, who is still a sales supervisor, explained softly at this time:

"Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are indeed a good choice."

"But the problem is that for small and micro enterprises, they don't have to rely too much on our software, at least in terms of pricing, it's difficult for them to accept it."

"Medium-sized companies are a good option, but then we're going to be narrowing the scope of our targets."

"And because we haven't opened the market, every company, we need to constantly try to persuade and negotiate business, during this time, the sales department we set up is running various companies almost every day, but the time cost required is not low."

"To put it bluntly, the profit rate is too low, the recognition is too low, and there are almost no brands."

"Not to mention three months, even if we are given another half a year, if we want to earn 500,000 meters, it is impossible to do it."

"Not to mention, in fact, we only have a little more than a month left now."

"We lost this gambling agreement."

Regarding everyone's hopes, Zeng Liqing clearly broke their hopes.

As the person in charge of the company's sales and product promotion, Zeng Liqing obviously sees it more clearly than everyone, and naturally understands how difficult the current situation is.

Group chat bundles enterprises, this direction is actually the right one.

It can even be said that as long as they are given time, in fact, they will definitely be able to open up the market, because office assistance itself is a blank blue ocean.

But the problem is, they don't have that time.

After all, to make such a software, it is not only necessary that the software can be used and easy to use, but also that simple.

It also needs the recognition and trust of others.

This involves not just selling software, but also brand operation.

There are many ways to operate a brand, such as advertising, brainwashing, and brand image.

But no matter how you do it, it will take time.

This time can be long or short, but what is certain is that it takes three months to build a brand.

That's a dream.

It's a dead end!

"This ...... Could it be that the people who invested in Yuanxiu knew from the beginning that we would definitely lose? ”

"They must have thought of this from the beginning, it's so hateful, it's because they understand this, that's why they will propose to read the agreement!"

"But this is actually our problem as well, and in the final analysis, we have not considered it before and ignored such a critical issue."

“……”

Everyone spoke depressedly.

Some people angrily scolded Yuanxiu Investment for deliberately digging pits, and some people felt that the biggest problem came out of them from the beginning.

But whether it's resentment, or understanding.

For penguins today, the most important question is still a problem.

"What are we going to do next?"

Again, the office fell silent, and everyone looked at Mahuateng.

It is impossible to achieve 500,000 meters in three months, which means that the gambling agreement is lost, and it also means that the next Yuanxiu investment is likely to directly obtain control of the penguins.

In that case.

The situation will no longer be under control.

Penguins, most likely, will go against their original intentions and may even be spoiled by capital.

In fact, for most ordinary employees, this does not affect their work.

After all, it's just a change of decision-maker.

But for the early founders of Penguin, especially for Ma Huateng, the absolute controller of Penguin.

It's a disaster.

After all, their rights will be greatly weakened, and the children they brought up by their own hands will probably never belong to them again.

"Keep trying, three months are not up yet, maybe we can do a miracle."

Ma Huaten dropped a word of comfort and ended the meeting.

But this was the end of the general staff meeting, the Penguin's high-level meeting, which took place in the conference room used to receive distinguished guests.

There were only five participants in this meeting.

The company's absolute leader, Ma Huateng, technical director Zhang Zhidong, external relations administrative director Chen Yidan, business information director Xu Chenye, and Zeng Liqing, who is currently responsible for product promotion and operation.

These five people are the absolute core of Penguin, and they are also the five co-founders of the first batch of penguins.

in the industry.

They are even known as the Penguin Five.

They are high-spirited, they are confident, they are full of fighting spirit.

But now.

Those self-confidence and fighting spirit are gone.

"I'm sorry everyone." Zhang Zhidong was the first to speak, his face full of guilt:

"It's my fault, if it weren't for me, we wouldn't have rushed into such a VAM agreement, and we wouldn't have let the situation fall into the current situation."

Ma Huateng hurriedly shook his head, with a sad face:

"It's not your fault."

"In fact, Zhidong's suggestion is a very wonderful idea in itself, and the mistake lies with me, because I didn't think about the problems carefully and rashly signed the VAM agreement."

"I can't blame you, I didn't get the investment, if it wasn't for the lack of funds, the pony wouldn't be so backshit." Chen Yidan hurriedly spoke.

"You all say that, but in fact, the biggest problem is with me." Xu Chenye said bitterly:

"It's me, I've never thought of a good business direction, that's my problem."

Zeng Liqing hurriedly shook his head:

"Lao Xu, don't rob me, although you are in charge of business, but you are usually busy dealing with the communication of relevant departments, in terms of business, it is mainly my business, whether it is the sales direction, or the completion of sales, it is me who is holding back."

The five did not throw the blame at each other, let alone blame each other.

Opposite.

Everyone is scrambling to find their own problems.

This is what these five young people really think.

Because they really feel that they have a lot of responsibility for the current situation.

"Okay, we are all one, no one is the main responsible, no one is innocent, this result is what we need to face together."

Finally.

Seeing that there had been a dispute, Ma Huateng opened his mouth and stopped everyone's responsibility.

It doesn't matter who will take responsibility now.

Most importantly.

What's next?

"We have to think of something else, and now that we know that group chatting is not going to work, then we have to think about how to save the situation next?"

"The previous software construction is actually not bad, although the sales volume is not high, but in fact, the market demand is still quite large, recently there is a pharmaceutical company in Yun Province interested in getting a system, we may be able to increase efforts in this regard."

"Give up the main group chat and change it to professional office software? It is possible to go in this direction, but it is already too late in time. ”

"Lao Xu, do you have any ideas for the subscription service you talked about before?"

"I've thought about it, but I've been busy with group chats lately, and I don't have a clue, so I think that our subscription service and group chat are combined, but now it seems that it may not work."

"Maybe we could consider trying advertising?"

"I've thought about advertising, but if it's really not good, you can accept advertising, after all, it's faster than 100 million users, it should be easier, but our page is not big, and there can't be many ads."

"Actually, I think the number of our users is a good advantage, by March 100 million users will definitely be no problem, active users can also reach 30 or 40 million, if these users give us a dollar, how much will it cost?"

"But our products have been free from the beginning, and if we want to make money from these free users, I am afraid that it is not easy, and it may even cause disgust to users, so that other companies can take advantage of the victory to chase after us, and we will lose the biggest chips."

"So what's next?"

Young people's minds turn quickly, and there are many ideas that come up with them, but they are obvious.

The problem of profitability that has been thinking about for a few years is not something that can be solved by brainstorming.

Problems end up in an endless loop.

Making money is not that simple.

"Pony, what are you thinking?"

It was noted that Ma Huaten did not speak, but thought thoughtfully.

"I'm thinking about ......"

Ma Huateng hesitated and said softly:

"We are bound to lose the VAM agreement."

"Is there a possibility, we can discuss and discuss with Yuanxiu Investment."

"Add a little clause to this VAM agreement?"
