Son, how did you become the richest man in elementary school?

Page 163

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt chills in their hearts.

Before they...

too naive!

Chapter 186

Yes!

Large companies have their own funds and strength. Instead of accepting them in order to save some money, many companies are more willing.

It is to spend some money for peace of mind.

This is the most important!

The ridiculous thing is that they naively thought that Penguin opened up the group chat function and was bound to the enterprise, so they could quickly accumulate rich wealth.

Many people even felt it at the beginning.

A mere 50 meters, they can earn with their eyes closed.

but now……

They are wrong.

Wrong outrageous, big mistake!

"Large companies are not short of money, and we made a wrong positioning from the beginning."

"Then what's next?"

"Since large enterprises are not our target, what about small, medium and micro enterprises?"

"Yes, small and medium-sized enterprises can also accept us, right? But why did it take so long to win so few?"

"..."

Some people have doubts, but they are still unwilling to give up.

But this time, Dan Ma Huateng just shook his head.

Zeng Liqing, still in charge of sales, explained softly at this time:

"Small and micro enterprises are indeed a good choice."

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

"Medium enterprises are actually a good choice, but in this way, our target range will continue to narrow."

"Because the market has not been opened, every company needs to constantly try to persuade and conduct business negotiations. During this period, the sales department we established has been running to various companies almost every day, but the time and cost required are not low."

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

"Let's not say it's three months, even if we give us another half a year, it's impossible to earn 50 yuan."

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

"We lost this gambling agreement."

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

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

Group chat bundled with enterprises, this direction is actually right.

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

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

After all, to make such a software, what is needed is not only that the software is usable and easy to use, it is as simple as that.

It also requires approval and trust from others.

This involves not only selling a piece of software, but also brand operation.

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

But no matter how it is done, 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 was dreaming.

This is simply 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 very beginning. It's too hateful. It's because they understand this that they proposed the reading agreement!"

"But this is actually our problem. In the final analysis, we lacked consideration before and ignored such a critical issue."

"..."

Everyone spoke in frustration.

Some people scold Yuanxiu Investment for deliberately digging holes, and some people think that the biggest problem lies with them from the beginning.

But whether it is resentment or injustice, there is still understanding.

Now for penguins, the most important thing is still a problem.

"What shall we do next?"

Once again, the office fell into dead silence, and everyone turned their attention to Ma Huateng.

It is impossible to achieve 50 meters in three months, which means that the betting agreement has been lost, and it means that the next Yuanxiu investment is likely to directly obtain control of Penguin.

if that's the case.

The situation will no longer be under control.

Penguins are likely to go against their original intentions, and they may even be spoiled by capital.

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

After all, it is just another decision maker.

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

It was a disaster.

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

"Keep trying, three months haven't come yet, maybe we can create a miracle."

Ma Huateng dropped a word of comfort, and then ended the meeting.

But this is the end of the meeting of ordinary employees. Penguin's high-level meeting is held in the conference room used to receive distinguished guests.

There were only five participants in this meeting.

Ma Huateng, the absolute leader of the company, Zhang Zhidong, the technical director, Chen Yidan, the administrative director of external relations, Xu Chenye, the director of business information, and Zeng Liqing, who is currently in charge of product promotion and operation.

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

in the industry.

They are even known as the Penguin Five.

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

but now.

Those self-confidence and fighting spirit disappeared.

"I'm sorry everyone." Zhang Zhidong spoke first, with guilt written all over his face:

"This is my fault. If it weren't for me, we would not have signed such a gambling agreement rashly, let alone let the situation fall into the current situation."

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

"it's not your fault."

"In fact, Zhidong, your suggestion itself is a very good idea. My mistake is that I didn't think carefully about the problems and signed the gambling agreement rashly."

"I can't blame you. It's because I didn't get the investment. If it wasn't for the lack of funds, Xiao Ma wouldn't be so passive." Chen Yidan said hastily.

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

"It's me. I haven't thought of a good business direction. This is my problem."

Zeng Liqing shook his head quickly:

"Old Xu, don't compete with me. Although you are in charge of business, you are usually busy with communication with relevant departments. In terms of business, it is mainly my business. Whether it is sales direction or sales completion, what is holding you back is I."

The five people did not blame each other, let alone blame each other.

in contrast.

Everyone is scrambling to find their own problems.

This is the true thought of these five young people.

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 person, and no one is innocent. We need to face this result together."

at last.

Seeing that the dispute had been going on, Ma Huateng spoke up and stopped everyone from taking responsibility.

It doesn't make sense who will take the responsibility now.

the most important is.

What should I do next?

"We have to think of other ways. Since we already know that the group chat will not work, then we have to think about how to save the situation next?"

"The previous software construction is actually pretty good. Although the sales volume is not high, the market demand is still quite large. Recently, a pharmaceutical company in Yunnan Province is interested in building this system. Maybe we can increase our efforts in this regard. "

"Abandon the main group chat and change it to professional office software? This direction can be taken, but the time is too late."

"Old Xu, do you have any thoughts on the subscription service you mentioned earlier?"

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

"Perhaps we could consider trying advertising?"

"I've thought about advertisements. If it doesn't work, I can accept advertisements. After all, it should be relatively easy to reach [-] million users, but our page is not big, so we can't have too many advertisements."

"Actually, I think the number of our users is a very good advantage. By March, 4000 million users will definitely be no problem, and active users will reach [-] to [-] million. If each of these users gives us one dollar, how much will it cost? "

"But our products are free from the very beginning. It may be quite difficult to make money from these free users. It may even arouse users' resentment, and let other companies take advantage of the victory to pursue us. We will lose the biggest bargaining chip."

"Then what should I do next?"

The young people's minds turned quickly, and they put forward a lot of ideas, but it was obvious.

The profit problem that has been thought about for several years cannot be solved by a brainstorm.

The problem ends up in an endless loop.

Making money is not that simple.

"Little horse, what are you thinking?"

Someone noticed that Ma Huateng hadn't spoken, but thought thoughtfully.

"I'm thinking……"

Ma Huateng hesitated, and said softly:

"We are bound to lose the gambling agreement."

"Is there a possibility that we can discuss with Yuanxiu Investment again."

"In this gambling agreement, add a little clause?"
