Chapter 258 Monsters appear (6k)
The 3Q war occurred and Yu Xing unexpectedly encountered a situation.
So awesome!
It’s too bad!
Yu Xing quickly held a temporary mobilization meeting on the fourth floor when he was shocked and could not be resolved for a long time and gave his own judgment.
It’s worse to catch it than not to catch it!
A commercial competition that has lasted from the Spring Festival to the present has changed, and it is still the most likely direction to cause worries.
360 has been trying to occupy a moral high point, but due to the founders and companies'' behaviors that were not clean in the past, many people disdain and oppose it, while Penguin used this trick at the node where the pop-up windows of all employees are the most concerned...
Penguin helped it do what it didn’t do!
How will the next thing end?
Not to mention how to deal with the red clothes, 360, who has already given up, will probably have to enter a state of victory for the soldiers.
At 11:00 a.m., Liu Chang, general manager of Penguin Public Relations Department, elaborated on yesterday''s "hard decision" at a press conference, playing the sympathy card and saying with tears in his eyes, "From the CEO to the grassroots employees, more than 10,000 colleagues in the company have almost never sleep all night, especially colleagues in the product team... I want to tell everyone how difficult and unscrupulous it is for us to make such a decision."
However, such performance was not understood by the media present, but was asked by reporters who did not meet the pre-process.
“Are the actions taken against Red Clothes also part of your difficult decision?”
Liu Chang was caught off guard and was stunned for two seconds but could not answer this question.
But the more she did this, the more the problem was like an arrow and the cold light came.
The reporter did not arrange questions at this press conference, and when the security guards saw this, they came forward.
However, the reporter struggled while shouting: "What does this mean? Mr. Liu, can you answer me? Will I lose contact too?"
Liu Chang was unable to answer the first question, nor the last question, nor the answer was unable to answer the sharp arrows of the same hatred of the enemy that the media on the scene were mobilized, and in the end he only received a messy reverse press conference.
Poor public relations deserve the loss of contact.
And, in just three hours, 360 Company once again launched the QQ bodyguard and withdrew the open letter previously released, instead updating an emergency letter of help. On the one hand, it hopes to confirm the safety of the boss, and on the other hand, it calls on netizens to stop using competitors within three days.
Unlike before, 360 is going to make a request to all netizens "for the future of Internet security."
Similarly, the page of Baixiaosheng Forum has also become one-sided. Many users who oppose 360 ??"abandon the dark and turn to the light" and firmly oppose this unsettling spread of power.
At this point, this horrifying war that swept the Internet has reached a point that has been imprinted in the history of the industry.
Although business has always liked to make peace with XX, its appearance under such attention is still shocking, which has set off an extremely surging wave of public opinion.
Yu Xing''s reaction was the fastest, and his "crazy" evaluation was also quickly and directly quoted by many portals.
In addition to the little celebrities like Bai Xiaosheng founder, many big names inside and outside the industry who were originally just watching the excitement also made appearances and even directly criticized them by name.
"I heard about what just happened, and I was surprised and disappointed. It is one of the best cities in China with the business environment. Such actions that do not conform to the procedures should not occur."
"I feel deeply saddened, you are Pengcheng!"
When doubts and criticism spread from enterprises to cities, and when people are not used to being watched publicly in this way, several departments in the city have to hold meetings.
Yu Xing noticed the relevant news and knew that the paradoxical nature of this matter was...
You can do it, but you can''t do it in such a public eye, and you''re told it again!
Only the wrong name is given, and no wrong nickname is called, just like Pizza Hut’s reputation is gradually enjoyed by different people, just like the revolving door just flashed for a while and was submerged in dense information.
The Internet is booming, and there is no surging public opinion, only more surging, especially on Weibo.
This year can be called the "first year of Weibo". Sina Weibo has attracted the attention and discussion of a large number of netizens due to many popular events, and a representative slogan "Follow is strength" appeared, which makes everyone believe in the onlooker effect of this implicit supervision mechanism.
So, when the war reached its peak, Sina Weibo’s discussion was the most intense.
Similarly, the calm Penguin Weibo performance at this moment is destined to be screenshot to mock it.
Many people expressed their opinions, "It''s hard not to use communications, and products like its Weibo will never appear on my computer again."
As more and more people are involved in public opinion, the conference room of WeChat company passionately discussed the actions that should be taken next.
Vice President Li Shanyou felt as if he was ten years younger and said passionately that the next time was the best time to appear on WeChat.
And, he was very happy to see the boss''s approval.
At 13:00 p.m., the temporary meeting that didn''t even have time to eat lunch ended. After everyone else left, Li Shanyou said to the boss with compliments: "Mr. Yu, no one knows sharper than you. This is a better opportunity to be sent by heaven!"
Yu Xing still felt indelible shock in his heart, and shook his head and said, "I didn''t expect him to lose contact. He...why could he?"
"Why can''t it?" Li Shanyou''s face was filled with excitement, "Penguin sent someone, so he must want to catch people. Both sides were not acting, and there was no rehearsal. This is the result it wanted."
Yu Xing knew that others could digest this news better than himself, so he could only agree with the statement that life had no rehearsal.
"Mr. Yu, how do you think it is best to announce the news that WeChat has entered the public? We have to take advantage of the most attention now to achieve the greatest publicity effect." Li Shanyou asked again.
Yu Xing pondered for a moment, and all kinds of thoughts were turning in his mind, and finally said, "I will wear a red shirt, then take a photo with the name of the WeChat company, and then announce our user scale. How about it?"
Li Shanyou looked at the boss in shock, this... the one who caught the wrong red clothes, should have been arrested here.
It can not only occupy a high point to express dissatisfaction, but also inspire netizens to spread it.
He raised his thumbs up: "Mr. Yu, it''s so good!"
Yu Xing took a breath: "Well, then I''ll send it at 8 o''clock in the evening. You go, our promotion in Guangdong Province will also be launched quickly."
This is an area that WeChat company used to bypass to avoid penguins'' attention.
Li Shanyou hurriedly left.
Yu Xing reached out to touch the cigarette but felt empty. He walked to the office to charge his phone. After smoking half of the cigarette, he saw several messages reminding him on the lit screen, which was the WeChat company financing group he had previously recruited.
This group only felt a little sarcastic about each other at the beginning of its establishment, and then fell into silence.
But today, it suddenly became active.
Xu Xin: Mr. Yu, should we do something?
Xu Xin: I really didn’t expect the penguin to do this...
Zhang Suyang: Mr. Yu, the public opinion of this 3Q war is the best promotion opportunity for WeChat, and we cannot waste opportunities.
Zhang Suyang: Mr. Yu, WeChat company can stop being silent.
Xu Xin: @Yu Xing
Liu Jiankai: @Yu Xing
After a brief silence in the group chat, perhaps it was to make mental speculation and speculation, or it was to communicate privately, and when the news appeared again, it was to persuade him to come in earnest.
Xu Xin: Mr. Yu, don’t have the mentality of taking advantage of others’ dangers when taking action. Appearing on WeChat at this time will not only not affect your reputation and Bai Xiaosheng, but will also add glory. Think about how Penguin treats your Bai Xiaosheng.
Previously, Penguin informally required employees not to use Baixiaosheng website.
Zhang Suyang also had a similar argument: God will not take it, but he will suffer the consequences. Mr. Yu, after passing this village, there is no such store, you must put the overall situation of WeChat company first!
There are five people in the WeChat group, except for Yu Xing, two of them are shareholders of the two companies. They all spoke out to persuade WeChat to take action at this time.
Yu Xing simply browsed the message and gave a reply: I have been busy all the time, my phone is out of battery, OK, I understand.
Seeing Yu Xing''s appearance in the WeChat group, another wave of news instantly came out.
Yu Xing did not reply, but simply had a bite of lunch, and asked Lu Haiying on the sixth floor to come down to cooperate with the fourth floor to promote the site.
These two days have been the peak of public opinion concern in this 3Q war. No matter what Zhou Hongyi does, its momentum will weaken.
Therefore, WeChat companies should take advantage of the current situation to play out all promotional actions, including Weibo’s personal account fans, Bai Xiaosheng’s workplace user group, Oriental TV’s program promotion, advertising of major portals, offline campus promotion, and search SEO optimization...
Every job requires people to be responsible and promoted.
After Lu Haiying came down, she heard her senior brother''s instructions and suddenly said, "This is the second time that Bai Xiaosheng has sent a private message to all users on the site. Last time she was called ''72-hour deadly hunting''. Isn''t this time the hunting order for the world to kill?"
Yu Xing was stunned and smiled and said, "If you want to say that, the pursuit order in the martial arts world is indeed not easy to come out."
Lu Haiying nodded and asked again when she was about to go back: "Senior brother, does the WeChat company give it money?"
Yu Xing hesitated for two seconds: "Can you not give it?"
Lu Haiying expressed her point of view: "Brothers, settle accounts clearly, senior brothers, you can''t just think about the brothers and sisters on the fourth floor, just send them money, and forget about our old guys on the sixth floor."
Yu Xing thought about it and said, "Junior sister, you are right, but you will be on credit first and settle the bill immediately after the next round of WeChat financing is in place."
When he saw that Lu Haiying still wanted to speak, he gave the ultimate answer: "This sentence was said as the CEO of Bai Xiaosheng."
Lu Haiying became unconditional execution.
The fourth, fifth and sixth floors of Heshuo International have become busy. Due to public opinion, Bai Xiaosheng also needs to work overtime today.
At five o''clock in the afternoon, Yu Xing, who confirmed the key work one by one, unexpectedly saw IDG''s Zhang Suyang coming again.
"Uh, Mr. Zhang, don''t tell me that you flew here temporarily again. Can you be so fast?" Yu Xing was surprised and laughed and laughed and cried, "You are not just urging the WeChat company this time, right?"
Zhang Suyang shook his hands with a spring breeze on his face: "It was not flying here. He happened to handle the matter from Jinling and drove directly. Mr. Yu, Mr. Xu and others will also arrive later. This time is really the best opportunity. I''m afraid you don''t pay enough attention!"
Yu Xing was a little helpless and reached out to invite him, "Sit down, Mr. Zhang, you go to the conference room for tea first, and I will finish the work at hand."
Zhang Suyang nodded and took people into the conference room.
It was already half past five when Xu Xin took Liu Jiankai to the conference room of the WeChat company, but as soon as he entered the door, he noticed a disharmonious place.
She looked at Hu Xubo of Qiming Venture Capital sitting in the conference room and asked Yu Xing puzzledly: "Why are he here too?"
Before Yu Xing could answer, Hu Xubo stood up stressedly: "Mr. Xu, you can ask me directly!"
Xu Xin asked again: "Why are you there too? Shouldn''t this be a communication between shareholders?"
Hu Xubo: "You..." Yu Xing gave the answer at this time: "Qiming Venture Capital is ranked first on the next round of financing list. Mr. Hu has always firmly supported Bai Xiaosheng and me. We will continue this relationship at WeChat company."
Xu Xin shrugged: "Then we should wait for the next round."
Yu Xing changed his answer and said concisely: "I''m too busy today, I''m too lazy to bother with you. I won''t let Mr. Hu in the future. Mr. Hu said he would learn from you last time."
Xu Xin: “…”
She was satisfied and it was appropriate to learn from the excellent ones.
Seeing that Xu Xin had no objection, Yu Xing directly informed: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu, Mr. Hu, I know your purpose. In fact, there is no need to go this time. WeChat company has confirmed that it will release stronger promotion signals at night and will use this public opinion to try to gain more customers."
The bosses of the three institutions exchanged their eyes, and even Hu Xubo, who failed to successfully cast in, had a clear look of joy on his face.
Zhang Suyang smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Yu, if it is broken, it will be broken! Next, we will challenge Penguin head-on. It has at least some time to develop. Our goal before it has a formal competitor should be at least 5 million users."
Yu Xing corrected: "No, we need to face the positive challenge of penguins!"
Zhang Suyang was stunned and applauded immediately. Now he needed Mr. Yu to have such a spirit.
He also agreed to try to develop WeChat as low-key as possible, but first there was "Dog Day XX" causing large-scale communication, and there was also the attention accumulated by the 3Q war. Now there is a rough treatment of capturing the thief and capturing the king first. At this time, frontal competition can already gain greater benefits.
Moreover, maybe Penguin is already following WeChat, and such head-on collisions are inevitable sooner or later. Since this is the case, we must seize the opportunity now.
"Mr. Yu, do you have more news about this incident?" Seeing that the purpose of this trip had actually been achieved, Xu Xin asked about the most eye-catching gossip today.
Yu Xing thought for a while and replied, "I didn''t pay much attention to the revelations in the forum today, but I was a little confused about the real and false news. Penguin was caught off guard by the QQ bodyguard. It is said that Pony''s face turned pale when he received the news. The first sentence was ''I never thought that he would do such a thing''."
Xu Xin sneered: "What you said is pretty, is it true or false?"
Yu Xing shook his head: "I don''t know, but he is..."
Halfway through his speech, he saw that the people in the conference room were looking at him seriously, and instantly stopped: "Yeah, maybe it''s fake."
Everyone who was about to listen to the identity of the whistleblower sighed disappointed. Made, seeing Bai Xiaosheng''s reaction, it was almost impossible to distinguish!
Yu Xing stood up: "Okay, I''m still busy. Whether we can carry out the next round of financing smoothly depends on the effect of this wave of action. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu, Mr. Hu, I will fire all the bullets this time!"
The two shareholders and one shareholder nodded one after another to encourage Mr. Yu.
Yu Xing was about to have the last greeting when a phone suddenly came in.
He glanced at his name and pressed to answer.
"Mr. Yu, let me tell you good news." Lei Weiming, the vice president transferred from Bai Xiaosheng, happily notified.
Yu Xing said "Hmm": "What good news?"
Lei Weiming said: "I''m looking for Baidu''s optimization search here, and I''m asking me if it''s true or false in benchmarking QQ. I''m serious, guess what?"
Yu Xing boldly guessed: "Is it free?"
"Uh..." Lei Weiming didn''t expect the boss to guess so hard, "It''s not that generous, it just gave 25% off for nothing."
Yu Xing simply ended the call and told the people in the conference room the news.
Zhang Suyang immediately said, "Mr. Yu, if you have the power, you will have the power, but if you have no power, you will have few help!"
Xu Xin also smiled and said, "This is a good sign!"
Yu Xing just smiled and asked for gifts to send these people to leave the company.
However, they were unwilling to leave immediately. Moreover, after hearing the signal of an attack on Weibo at night, they wanted to stay in the company to witness this scene together.
Yu Xing thought about it, but did not refuse, but just asked the secretary to have a few more boxes of lunch boxes.
Zhou Hongyi didn''t know where the person was. The QQ bodyguard was back online, Penguin encountered one-sided criticism, and the entire network maintained lively discussions.
At eight o''clock that night, Yu Xing updated his Weibo.
"From this point, entrepreneurs really have to face three things: life and death and a certain company, oh, of course, I''m talking about Samsung."
The former joke leader reappeared, and his goal was obviously aiming for "Samsung", which made the still popular people start to forward and evaluate his dynamics, and easily become popular.
Within ten minutes, Yu Xing updated his second update, and this time he was just a sigh of emotion.
"You still have to go out of the campus. How can you see such a scene on campus!"
As for what kind of scene it is, everyone knows.
The third update was a bit slow and it took fifteen minutes to release it.
Yu Xing added a photo this time. He was wearing a red shirt inside, pointing his right hand at the four words "WeChat Company" on the wall, and his face was simple.
The text that appeared at the same time was, "Everyone is welcome to use our mobile chat tool ''WeChat''. By the way, if you catch him, you can''t catch me again."
This time the update includes both information and jokes.
It is easy for everyone to understand the latter, but the former''s statement seems to be overestimating one''s own abilities.
Penguin''s reputation has indeed fallen to the bottom, but its strength is still strong.
At such a moment, even if you occupy a moral high point, you will still be a stunning tree.
The people who are eating melons can laugh at jokes and jokes together, but when it comes to specific information, there will be differentiation. There are comments under this Weibo post - the 3Q war, are you jumping and jumping?
But five minutes later, Yu Xing posted the latest user data of WeChat software. As of 8:37 pm on November 6, 2010, the total number of WeChat users was 2073819.
There are 2.07 million users of an emerging mobile phone instant messaging software that is not known to most people?
This news surprised many people who were watching the melon, but where did large and small manufacturers in the Internet industry suddenly emerge from a communication software with more than 2 million users?
What does this size of two million represent?
The previous sarcastic comments on Yu Xing’s Weibo quickly changed their attitude. The most conspicuous one is - Mr. Yu, the weather is cold and the red clothes are too conspicuous. Put on this yellow clothes!
Almost at the same time, the temporary command office on the 37th floor of Penguin Building still held meetings for several consecutive days.
The difficult decision was implemented.
However, the effect seems not very good.
Pony Ma was not as happy as he imagined, but instead took a lot of pressure this afternoon.
He didn''t say much during this meeting, but mainly listened to the public opinion trends on the Internet.
The wind direction is obviously not very good either.
Liu Chang, general manager of the public relations department, performed poorly at the press conference today. He saw the boss frowning, and while looking at the information, he pretended to be relaxed: "Now, all kinds of monsters are coming out. Yu Xing from Bai Xiaosheng actually dares to come out to make communication software!"
She saw the latest Weibo updates as the one Yu Xing posted, but she didn''t say it out and faced the teasing of the red clothes afterwards.
Liu Chiping shook his head next to him, without comment, but his expression was obviously relaxed. Public opinion belongs to public opinion and products belong to products. These are two different things.
Liu Chang noticed the change in the president''s expression and continued to read vividly. The comments below were liked a lot: "There are comments below that we are competing with 360, and Yu Xing jumped and jumped."
Ponyma still didn''t get any interest when she heard this, so she stood up and said, "That''s all for today."
The senior executives in the conference room stood up one after another.
But when everyone walked to the door, Liu Chang suddenly exclaimed.
This reaction often symbolizes unfavorable news, which has appeared from different departments in the past few days, which has caused the senior management to stop sensitively.
Liu Chang hesitated and did not immediately say the latest updates he saw.
Seeing this, President Liu Chiping directly urged: "Just say anything directly, and what else can''t be said?"
Liu Chang pursed his lips and said suspiciously and confusedly: "Yu Xing posted the number of backend users of his communication software, which shows that there are already 2.07 million..."
2.07 million?
Everyone’s first reaction is to not believe it, how is it possible?
Liu Chiping shook his head and said, "Isn''t it just a software I made?"
Liu Chang looked through the comment section and hesitated: "This WeChat seems to have been on campus for a while, and someone mentioned it below."
Pony Ma Mo walked back to his seat without saying a word.
Other senior executives also sat down after seeing this.
At this time, Yin Yu, who was in charge of instant messaging, suddenly asked, "What is the name of this software? Is it WeChat? I seem to have heard someone mention it before."
Liu Chang confirmed that the name of the software is WeChat.
Yin Yu also remembered the report he received before National Day and quickly found it.
This is an investigation report from Peng Rongxuan, deputy director of game promotion, which mentioned his investigation into the circulating of "WeChat" in the campus environment, his personal user experience, and some data analysis of Apple stores and Android app stores. The final conclusion is that the user scale is likely to have exceeded one million.
When the report was quickly copied and distributed to everyone, everyone frowned immediately after reading it.
This postponed discovery proves something.
The WeChat user numbers released by Yu Xing are most likely to be real!
If he did not commit fraud and did not attract attention, what does it mean that an instant messaging software for mobile phones unknowingly acquire 2.07 million users?
Pony Ma slowly put down the report in his hand and looked at President Liu Chiping.
Liu Chiping watched it twice, looked at the boss again, then looked around everyone present, and commented: "If WeChat has really gained so many users and has really done this under our noses, then it..."
He gently pounded the table with his right fist: "I only have two words to evaluate, monster!"
It''s a monster!
It is a monster that appears after the fog dissipates!
