Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 594: Counterattack II

Phoenix Group was originally wronged and framed by four major American companies, but now Xu Jiarui went to apologize to those who suffered losses on behalf of Phoenix Group's chairman Lu Shaohua. How much magnanimity and how much grievance it takes, but Xu Jiarui still apologized. Although it is not clear whether Xu Jiarui really represented Lu Shaohua, all the reporters at the scene could not help but be moved by the expression he showed.

It was indeed touching at the scene, but the actual leaders of the four companies who were watching the live broadcast in the company office wanted to curse, calling Xu Jiarui shameless and Lu Shaohua for using this to capture people's hearts.

Yes, after Xu Jiarui said this, Phoenix Group suddenly became a noble company, and just now it condemned four companies for playing tricks. How is this different from climbing to a high position by stepping on other people's shoulders?

However, this was an unexpected disaster for their four companies. When each piece of evidence was presented, the actual persons in charge of the four companies who had still held out hope knew that they were finished.

The evidence presented at the beginning was somewhat unfavorable to them, but they still found a way to deal with it and cover up the past. But it is different now. The two pieces of evidence appeared together and their effect is like ironclad evidence, making it impossible for the four companies to cope with it.

The only thing they can do now is to prepare as soon as possible, pay attention to the trends in the stock market and the accusations against them by the public. There is nothing else they can do. As time passes by, the stock market is about to close in the morning and there is not much impact yet. But what about the opening in the afternoon? And what about tomorrow?

As the saying goes, you can't escape the fifteenth day if you don't escape the first day. The matter has become a foregone conclusion. The ones that should have a headache are the four companies, not the Phoenix Group. No, it would be more accurate to say that the Phoenix Group has completely reversed the situation and turned defeat into victory.

However, all this is not over yet, Xu Jiarui is still standing on the stage, which means that the press conference is not over yet.

"We in Phoenix Group have never been afraid of any competitors, but healthy competition is acceptable. This is the first time we have seen a competitor that uses sinister tactics behind our backs. On behalf of our Phoenix Group, I would like to express my strong condemnation of Microsoft, IBM, Dell, and Apple," Xu Jiarui said righteously.

First he apologized to the users, and then he expressed strong condemnation of the four companies. Xu Jiarui arranged the process extremely well, and it was even more difficult to capture people's hearts and present this press conference to the fullest.

After the translator finished translating his words, Xu Jiarui continued to condemn, "We are saddened by Microsoft's shameful behavior. First, they used their main server to load and run Trojans, causing users of the Phoenix operating system to suffer losses from different programs. Well, before holding this press conference, Mr. Lu Shaohua, the chairman of our Phoenix Group, called me. Mr. Lu Shaohua clearly stated that if the users who suffered losses wished, they could contact our group's headquarters. However, our Phoenix Group would sue the U.S. Supreme Court in the name of the group and demand that Microsoft compensate all users for their losses."

This was also Xu Jiarui's own decision, and he did not ask Lu Shaohua for permission. However, as smart as Xu Jiarui was, he guessed Lu Shaohua's intention and knew that Lu Shaohua would not object to him doing so. It was just that Lu Shaohua did not give direct instructions, so he could only say it at this time, so as to completely win the favor of Phoenix operating system users.

This is indeed the case. Lu Shaohua did not blame Xu Jiarui for acting on his own initiative. On the contrary, he felt that he was negligent and did not consider this carefully. Now think about it, if Xu Jiarui had not acted on his own initiative, Phoenix Group would have really missed this opportunity to be a good person.

Applause, another round of applause, and it was even more enthusiastic than when Xu Jiarui apologized to the users on behalf of Chairman Lu Shaohua.

To have such an effect, Xu Jiarui had a very bright smile on his face, and he was almost out of breath from laughing in his heart. However, at this time and in this occasion, Xu Jiarui could not show it and could only hold it back.

Yes, if Xu Jiarui stood on the stage and laughed so hard that he was out of breath, what kind of impression would that give to the reporters? It would also make the reporters question whether everything he had just said and done was false. Therefore, at this time, we must not destroy the atmosphere that we have worked so hard to create.

All this is not over yet. After the warm applause, Xu Jiarui took another sip of water and started the next topic. "I know that MSN has become an indispensable part of people's lives and work in the United States, but now the main server of MSN is loaded with Trojans. I believe that many people will no longer dare to use MSN. For this reason, our Phoenix Group has recently developed a software with more powerful and more complete functions than MSN. However, the current technology is not mature enough, but there is no problem in launching it on the market. And because of this situation of MSN, for the sake of the American people, our Phoenix Group can only launch it at this time, so as to meet the needs of most people."

At this point, Xu Jiarui paused, motioned to the translator to translate for him immediately, and continued after the translation was completed. "The name of this software is just two letters - QQ. It was developed by a software company under our Phoenix Group. Well, as for what kind of functions it has, how powerful it is, and how complete it is, let an engineer who participated in the development of our group explain it to you."

The translator was very good at grasping the timing. He started translating as soon as Xu Jiarui finished speaking. After the translation was finished, the engineer who had been prepared came on stage and came to the position where Xu Jiarui was standing. At this time, Xu Jiarui also gave up his seat and stood aside.

The engineer sent to the United States was a young man who was less than 30 years old. His name was Li Yi. He participated in the development of QQ and was a former colleague of Ma Huateng. He was also a veteran figure of Phoenix Tencent. The reason why he was sent to the United States was entirely because of his very high level of English.

As we all know, when explaining the functions of QQ, many professional terms may be used. If we don’t find someone with a high level of English and who has participated in the development of QQ to explain it, it will probably be a mess.

Facts have also proved that if the original translator were to explain it, it would probably not be able to show the functions and features that QQ should have.

"First of all, I would like to thank friends from the press for coming to this press conference. My name is Li Yi, and I am an engineer at Phoenix Tencent Software Co., Ltd." Li Yi was very polite. He first exchanged pleasantries with the reporters in English, and then changed the subject and got to the point. "QQ is an Internet communication software. It has many functions. I cannot introduce them all here. Well, I will just introduce a few of the more surprising features."

Once we got to the point, the rest was much simpler. Li Yi clearly introduced the QQ dating platform, QQ's software functions, and the most important visual link function. Only after he had basically finished the introduction did Li Yi open his notebook.

"Please look at the big screen. Now I will demonstrate the base operations of QQ for you." Li Yi started the demonstration in accordance with what was displayed on the screen.

First, you open QQ's unique login box, then enter your QQ number and password, press the Enter key, and soon you will enter the login box, and then go online.

"Please look, QQ has been logged in. Next, I will show you how to add friends. It is very convenient. Just click on the search button, and then there are two options: one is to search by nickname, and the other is to search by entering the exact number." At this point, Li Yi entered Ma Huateng's QQ number in the number search bar, and then added him as a friend before continuing to introduce. "The friend I just added is Mr. Ma Huateng, the president of our Phoenix Tencent Co., Ltd., and now I will chat with Mr. Ma Huateng."

Whether it is Ma Huateng’s QQ number online or something else, it has been arranged in advance, with the purpose of making the demonstration more realistic and relevant.

In the chat box, Li Yi chatted with Ma Huateng, and then Ma Huateng greeted the reporters in the audience, and then linked to the video. When the link was successful, Ma Huateng also appeared on the big screen.

The video link was successful, and Li Yi spoke at this time. "In addition to the video link, QQ also has a function, that is, the voice conversation function. The voice conversation function can be a separate one, and there is also a simultaneous conversation after the video link is completed. Okay, let's connect to the voice conversation with Mr. Ma Huateng."

Li Yi checked the box in front of the voice, and then he heard Ma Huateng's voice coming through the audio.

"Hello everyone, I am Ma Huateng, very happy to meet you through QQ." Ma Huateng, like Li Yi, started with some pleasantries with the reporter, and then introduced some features of QQ. Of course, what Ma Huateng introduced was completely different from Li Yi's. He introduced some unknown features of QQ, such as file transfer in office. "..."

Everything was arranged long ago, including the video link and voice with Ma Huateng. Of course, due to time constraints, the video link with Ma Huateng was turned off not long after, and Li Yi began to introduce other functions.

……

"Okay, that's the general function of QQ. The most important thing is that QQ is free. You just need to log in to the official website, download and install the client, and then register a QQ account, and you can use it easily." After a pause, Li Yi made his final speech. "Thank you everyone."

Li Yi left the stage. When he left, Xu Jiarui, who was standing next to him, quickly replaced him and returned to the stage, arranged a microphone, and spoke in English. "Thank you Mr. Li Yi for your speech. I believe everyone has seen the powerful functions of QQ and it is very convenient to use. On behalf of all the employees of Phoenix Tencent, I would like to express to everyone that QQ will bring you the most sincere service."

There was another burst of warm applause.

After the applause, the press conference also came to an end. After Xu Jiarui's farewell speech, it was officially declared over.

Lu Shaohua's second round of counterattack also ended with the end of the press conference.
