Chapter 136: Ma Huateng Calls a Meeting, Striving to Persuade the Company’s Shareholders (Part 4/4)

“The two chat software can be interoperable. This way, whether using uu or qq, ultimately, they are all our users,” Tang Feng answered.

“But in the end, only one can remain,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “Eventually, only the uu chat software will remain. We can update it in the background without affecting the user experience.”

“It seems that technology is king after all. Tencent, with its two hundred million users, ultimately had to bow down,” Ning Xiao sighed.

“Technology and market, both are very important. It’s just that the chat software I developed now has added a lot of new features. And these features are very useful. So it attracted a large number of users to download and use it. How should I put it? I am standing on the shoulders of Tencent, creating a better chat software,” Tang Feng laughed.

“Next, if Ma Huateng convinces the shareholders to sell Tencent, do we still have to negotiate with the other party?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Correct!” Tang Feng nodded, “When it comes to negotiations, definitely a lot of details will be involved. You will also participate in it.”

“Me? I’m afraid not! I have never negotiated with anyone before!” Su Xiaoli shook her head subconsciously.

“I haven’t negotiated with anyone before either! There’s a first time for everything! Besides, as the company’s vice president, you definitely need to be involved,” Tang Feng laughed.

“Yeah! Xiaoli, I think Tang Feng is right! You are now the company’s vice president, and you will be the president of the group in the future. You definitely need to get used to negotiating with others,” Ning Xiao added from the side.

“If that’s the case, I will join you! If I say something wrong, you must point it out in time,” Su Xiaoli agreed.

“Don’t worry! Everything is under control!” Tang Feng appeared very confident.

Although he had never negotiated with anyone before, he was very clear that the initiative was in his hands.

As long as the conditions he proposed were not too excessive, the other party would definitely agree.

“By the way, the painting you had auctioned off, the money has already been transferred to the company’s account. A total of seventy-four million five hundred and twenty thousand,” Su Xiaoli changed the subject.

“Did I hear that right? You said seventy million?” Tang Feng appeared very surprised.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “Mainly because you were not very famous in the calligraphy and painting circle before, so the price was a bit lower. Once your fame spreads, the price will definitely rise.”

“It seems I need to create a few more paintings when I have time! The money earned will be invested in the company. After all, if the company wants to develop, it definitely needs a lot of capital,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“Now that Tencent is in very good profit condition, won’t there be a lot of cash on the company’s books after the acquisition? I think maintaining the company’s operations and development definitely won’t be a problem,” Su Xiaoli said.

“The money earned by Tencent is not enough. After all, I plan to develop more software. Not to mention, just the expenditure on servers is probably an astronomical figure,” Tang Feng said, shaking his head.

“Brother Feng, I think you shouldn’t develop other software for the time being, and focus all your attention on the uu chat software. Otherwise, your energy will be too dispersed, which I don’t think is a good thing,” Su Xiaoli advised.

“No problem,” Tang Feng shook his head, “The internet era has already arrived, I must seize every minute. Besides the chat software, I want to develop other software.”

“Other software? Like what?” Su Xiaoli became interested.

“Many. For example, antivirus software and shopping software,” Tang Feng answered.

“Aren’t there already many of those? There are many antivirus software options, and there are quite a few shopping websites,” Su Xiaoli appeared somewhat surprised.

“The software I develop will have more functions and better user experience. Most importantly, it will be free,” Tang Feng responded.

“Not really? If it’s all free, how will the company survive?” Ning Xiao and the others clearly couldn’t understand.

“Many internet companies rely on financing. But I don’t want to raise too much capital, or else the equity will be diluted severely. I still want to rely on my own ability to earn more money to invest in the company,” Tang Feng shared his thoughts.

“That makes sense,” Ning Xiao nodded, “But offering everything for free is indeed quite innovative.”

“Free is the most expensive. But for the vast majority of people, it’s definitely good. If it were chargeable, many users would definitely be reluctant to spend money on it,” Tang Feng laughed.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
