Shenzhen City, Penguin Building!

dong dong dong~

The sound of beating on the desktop was annoying, but no one dared to object, instead it became more and more dignified.

Because the man who knocked on the table was sitting at the front, with black framed eyes, a little gentle, but at the moment, he looked hideous.

Boss Penguin, founding leader of Penguin, Ma Huateng!

Ma Huateng is usually very kind and kind, but the founders and senior management of the group who are in close contact know that Xiao Ma is not so easy to get along with.

As the boss, as the ultimate manager, Ma Huateng still has authority and management skills. Otherwise, who would be convinced by these capable management?

"Don't be silent, everyone, what should we do next?"

Ma Huateng was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at everyone present, and asked solemnly.

Penguin is now facing many problems, such as the development of e-commerce, such as the development of Weibo, such as the development of instant messaging.

These are all very critical points of competition, and Penguin has been expanding into other areas based on instant messaging.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the huge users of instant messaging, it is equivalent to not having the current Penguin Group!

As Ma Huateng's words fell, everyone became cautious, and the boss spoke up, asking them to give a suitable solution.

As one of the five tiger generals, Zhang Zhidong pondered for a moment and responded solemnly, "We Penguins have only achieved a certain degree of development in the game field so far, and it is difficult to develop other businesses."

Penguin has always been seeking multi-faceted development, from social transactions, to the circle of friends of strangers, from social mini-games, to chess and card games, and even PC games, all in order to develop in an all-round way.

But things are always unsatisfactory. Penguin-related industries are oppressed by competitors, and they are basically at a disadvantage. Now the Penguin Group has a lot of business, which is complex but not refined.

On the instant messaging side, the most important thing for Penguin is the button software. Facing the erosion of competitor hacker WeChat, the dominance of instant messaging is at stake.

In the field of games, with the original old overlord Wangyi blocking the road in front, there are also Sohu websites chasing behind, the development is not very fast, and it is barely maintained.

In the field of e-commerce, the Penguin Group's record is even more appalling, and it can't even get the third position. The two companies Jingdong and Tubao occupy an absolute position.

As for other miscellaneous fields, Penguin also does not have an advantage, and is targeted by competitors everywhere.

As for the problems mentioned by Zhang Zhidong, Ma Huateng, as the big boss, is of course aware of the situation, but after all, he needs to find a way to solve it.

He stared at Zhang Zhidong, then swept around the people present, and couldn't help frowning.

The management present are all people who really have the right to speak. If they do not have a better direction, where should the Penguins develop?

He finally set his eyes on Zhang Zhidong. He felt that Zhang Zhidong had nothing to say, "Zhidong, tell me what you think."

Zhang Zhidong was hesitant, debating whether to say it or not, and Ma Huateng obviously noticed the situation and said directly, "Zhidong, all the people present are the senior management of the group. mind."

I'm afraid Zhang Zhidong has some radical ideas. Otherwise, Zhang Zhidong's temperament will definitely say it directly.

For Zhang Zhidong, an old classmate, Ma Huateng is still very at ease and trusting, with strong ability and good manners.

Zhang Zhidong turned his head to look at Ma Huateng, and without any hesitation, said directly, "Chairman Ma, if we want to make breakthroughs, we must focus on a certain field. If we cast a wide net like now, I'm afraid there will be no good results."

Based on Zhang Zhidong's understanding of the penguins during this period, he felt that there are many problems with the current penguins, and changes must be made to allow the penguins to develop.

Penguins are too broad, so they need to specialize and do the things they specialize well, and other things can be done from a different angle.

Ma Huateng nodded slightly and asked Zhang Zhidong to continue, "Zhidong, you can go on and on, how to do it, you can tell your own thoughts."

Now that Zhang Zhidong has a suitable idea, let everyone listen to it, and then add up.

If it is appropriate, of course, everyone has no opinion and is willing to implement it.

All the people present are high-level management, naturally there are no fools, and if they are fools, it is naturally not easy to sit in this position.

Zhang Zhidong took the mineral water from the table next to him, unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, and then raised his head, realizing that everyone was watching him.

This is a bit embarrassing!

With an embarrassed smile, he explained, "I'm sorry, I'm a little thirsty."

Many executives heard the words and shook their heads helplessly, saying that there was no problem.

However, some people scolded inwardly, Zhang Zhidong always loses some chains at a critical moment, which is really annoying.

Zhang Zhidong drank the water and was ready, so he expounded his thoughts loudly, "Chairman Ma, and all colleagues present, our Penguin's current foundation must be the Koko software, which is our lifeblood. "

"Since it is the lifeblood, of course, we must do our best to develop, even if we lose money, it doesn't matter. However, the most important part is to keep users!"

"Yes, it is to keep users. This is the fundamental driving force for our Penguin to grow, and the foundation for expanding the book."

At this point, Zhang Zhidong stopped to let everyone digest the relevant information.

He knew that more than 90% of the executives present would agree. This is Penguin's largest software based on the Internet.

Zeng Liqing pondered, as one of the five tigers, he certainly understood what Zhang Zhidong meant, and also recognized this.

But this has basically not changed much from their current development trend and direction, and they are still following the old path.

He stared at Zhang Zhidong, wanting to see from his face a monster, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd?

Let's just ask, don't wait for this guy to sell his shit, he asked, "Zhidong, we all agree with the information you said, but it doesn't change, right?"

Zhang Zhidong turned his head to look at Zeng Liqing, and asked back with a smile, "Since it's okay to approve, how do you know that what I said later will not change? Let me tell you now, how should the penguin change?!"

The more Zhang Zhidong said, the more he felt that his idea should be feasible. This was the solution he had thought about, so that Penguins could easily go into battle!

Now it is up to him to let the management present to discuss and make choices, and the final decision-making power will definitely fall on everyone.

Of course, the most important thing is to listen to Ma Huateng, Chairman Ma.

Zhang Zhidong felt the eyes of everyone, and continued with a smile, "This is just my personal opinion, everyone can listen to it. If you think it is not suitable, then discard it."

Ma Huateng is a little speechless, this guy is the most gossip, and there are a lot of miscellaneous language thieves, the main point, just say the main point!

He stared at Zhang Zhidong's actions, and felt that if he didn't stop him, the guy might have to continue, "Zhidong, you put your opinion directly, how should Penguin change?"

Zhang Zhidong looked at Ma Huateng's expression and knew that he couldn't be more verbose, "Penguin follows up with the button, and specializes in a certain aspect. From our current career, I personally think it should be a game!"

"From the report for the first half of the year, we can clearly find that Penguin's game revenue is steadily increasing, while others are dragging down Penguin's development."

"In this case, we Penguins are more decisive, cut off other businesses, and package and sell those that should be packaged, specializing in the field of instant messaging and the field of games."

Amazing speech!

Zhang Zhidong's words fell, and the originally noisy meeting suddenly became audible.

Ma Huateng and the executives present were all sluggish, and the chicken was on the spot. This suggestion is really too big.

After a long time, Zhang Zhidong heard the voices of everyone exhaling, and he knew that these words were too radical.

How aggressive!

This is simply radical!

This is what Ma Huateng had in mind. He never thought of doing this, but let Penguin develop in multiple directions and seek more possibilities.

The idea of ​​Penguin has always been to enter from various fields and actively occupy the field of making money.

Does e-commerce make money?

Well, we Penguins also want to engage in e-commerce, so Paipai.com will soon be established.

Does the game make money?

Well, we Penguins also want to make games, and we want to make them better, so soon there will be various imitation games, as well as games imported from overseas.

Search, microblogging, antivirus to make money?

That line, we penguins also have to search, microblogging, antivirus, kill it, let's say, with many users, how can we still occupy a certain market share.

This is what Ma Huateng and most of the executives insist on, and the current Penguin is also doing the same.

but!

Now Zhang Zhidong, the executive management, is putting forward other theories and ideas, and wants Penguin to change.

Ma Huateng pondered, thinking quickly in his mind, is the penguin going to change?

He has become a little uneasy and confused now, maybe Zhang Zhidong is right?

He looked at Zhang Zhidong, then looked at other managers, and asked, "Do you have any opinions or thoughts on Zhidong's suggestion?"

Since it is a discussion to solve the dilemma that the penguins are facing now, it is of course the best to solve it on the spot.

Taking advantage of the crowd, it is best to finalize the matter.

Zeng Liqing thought a lot, looked at Zhang Zhidong, and asked again, "Zhidong, you know that we have invested a lot of energy and money in the fields of search, Weibo, music, anti-virus, etc. If we give up now, then there is no doubt that It's a huge loss."

Loss is inevitable!

Such a similar software or team invested by Penguin only ranks third and fourth in the domestic market share, which is not competitive at all.

It is precisely because Zhang Zhidong knows this, he also sees the development of the game, that he has such a bold idea.

Zhang Zhidong asked directly, "Li Qing, I understand what you mean, you are not willing to pay, but you have not received anything in return."

"However, we have invested so much, but we have not yet achieved any results. Paipai.com has invested more than 100 million yuan, and the waves have not been set off!"

"So, whether we want long-term pain or short-term pain, it's time to make a choice."

Long pain, or short pain? !

Zhang Zhidong spoke very frankly at this moment and put the matter on the table.

Ma Huateng frowned, maybe Zhang Zhidong was right, "Zhidong, maybe you're right, I'll think about this matter. Next, let's talk about another thing, how to consolidate the status of instant messaging, also That's how to face hacker WeChat!"

Ma Huateng saw that he had not come to a conclusion, and put the topic directly to the back. He had to think about it before making a decision. After all, it involved too much.

In addition to this, the basic plate of the button is the key.

With constant discussions, Penguin finally got a way to deal with WeChat on the PC side.

...

"Xiaolong, you came to our hacker group for a while, and you have been in charge of WeChat, and you have done a good job."

After commenting and arranging hacking miracles, hacking slow hands, hacking Weibo, hacking smart home, Feng Hao finally turned his attention to Zhang Xiaolong.

Whether it is this life or a previous life, this man is known as the father of WeChat, an extremely powerful middle-aged man, and a legendary existence.

As if he was born to do instant messaging, he built the entire WeChat architecture, which is extremely functional and extremely scalable.

In many functions and experiences, he has enough right to speak, even if Feng Hao has used WeChat for countless years, there are still many incomparable places.

He may be familiar with some functions, but many aspects may not be as good as Zhang Xiaolong and his team.

This is where the gap between users, product managers comes in.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Feng. This is my duty and it should be done."

Zhang Xiaolong smiled, waved his hand, and responded somewhat modestly.

In the face of Feng Hao, a young man, he also has a certain amount of pressure. In terms of position, he is his immediate boss. In terms of technology, the boss, Brother Hao, is a real top programmer. He is very good in many aspects. Sometimes he can often propose very innovative and precise functions.

He even admired the young boss for maintaining a high level of IT technology when he started and managed the company.

"Have you encountered any difficulties with WeChat recently?"

Feng Hao just came from his hometown, and then participated in the financing of Hacker Miracle. He doesn't know much about Hacker WeChat.

"Brother Hao, there is no difficulty for the time being, but there is one fact, I am afraid it may happen."

Zhang Xiaolong's face was solemn, he hesitated for a moment, but he was serious, and his tone was even a little low.

"What is it, you say it."

Feng Hao noticed Zhang Xiaolong's face, and was shocked and asked in a deep voice.

Given Zhang Xiaolong's nature, if he is serious here, there may be a big event.

"Brother Hao, the button on Penguin seems to be moving. For the action on the PC side, if there is Penguin, there is no WeChat!"

Zhang Xiaolong looked up and looked around, as if he was afraid that others would hear it, and finally broke the news in a low voice.

"What? Sure enough, choose one of the two!"

Feng Hao was suddenly startled, his mouth was slightly opened, his pupils were dilated, and he chose one of the most famous two.
