Chapter 276: Coveted by Peers (Part 2)

As long as Google disappears from China in the future.

Qiandu would be able to monopolize the market, deciding whose eyes to blindfold.

“Aren’t you afraid of being cursed? What if the promotion of Putian hospitals ends up killing people?”

Mr. Zhang of Sohu was more of a Buddhist in nature. Having been financially independent early on and owning buildings in Beijing, he wasn’t too concerned about money.

“Hehe.”

Mr. Li Yanhong laughed, “Who would be enemies with money? The leeks are green and lush; if you don’t harvest them, someone else will. Besides, they should have the ability to discern. If they can’t see through it, I can’t do much about it.”

Their conversation was relatively mild.

Although competitors are naturally rivals, watching Lingfeng Technology make money was infuriating, yet there was no opportunity to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

But.

Tencent in Pengcheng (TL: Now known as Xuzhou) couldn’t sit still.

LeXin’s emergence had the most significant impact not on Qiandu but on QQ.

Inside a large server room in Pengcheng.

Ma Huateng was sweating profusely, checking data in front of a computer, “Zhang Xiaodong, have you found out how many registrations they have now?”

Penguin had professional data analysis.

Zhang Xiaodong was Ma Huateng’s greatest strategist and technician.

After some clever operations, Zhang Xiaodong wiped his sweat, “the estimate is now 400,000.”

Ma Huateng nodded, “Xiaodong, from your perspective, how good is their product?”

It seemed unnecessary for Zhang Xiaodong to answer.

The continuously growing number of registered users spoke for itself.

But he had to answer the boss’s question, “Both in terms of product concept and functionality, it’s better than… better than our QQ. If you ask me, this is a groundbreaking product. Although we’ve discussed some of these module concepts in meetings before, we haven’t even started on a preliminary model, yet they’ve already perfectly executed it, and… it’s really good.”

Ma Huateng fell into deep thought.

This was the biggest crisis since he founded the Tencent.

Although QQ’s current size was still dozens of times that of Le Xin.

But as LeXin’s registration numbers continued to grow and QQ’s online user numbers were visibly declining, if nothing was done, the entire Tencent could be finished in less than half a year.

“Alas!”

Ma Huateng sighed deeply, “Zhao Qingfeng, why have I never heard of him before?”

What Zhang Xiaodong cared about was not these, “there are always new talents rising; as the old saying goes, ‘new waves push the old waves.’ Now that the enemy is at our gates, we should think about how to respond!”

How to respond?

That was a tough question.

Ma Huateng was momentarily at a loss.

But then.

A lightbulb went off in his head.

Hehe.

Is there an enemy that Pony Ma can’t defeat?

Let’s not forget how ICQ disappeared into the internet waves back in the day.

After careful consideration.

Ma Huateng finally articulated the best solution to the crisis facing Tencent.

One word—copy.
