Chapter 128 Tengxun’s Difficulties

Although people from relevant departments called to inquire today, hundreds of millions of users chose to uninstall KuanKou.

But Ma Huateng's attitude is still very firm. He is ready for a fierce fight. This time he must kill 306.

Otherwise, how can he explain to the board of directors that he has paid such a high price and achieved little results?

Although he, as the company's chairman and founder, has absolute say in the company, Tengxun is a listed company after all and must still be responsible to shareholders.

But what happened next was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Ma Huateng, who had just celebrated his 40th birthday, wore his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at the report document in his hand with a solemn expression.

It took less than two days for Tencent to force users to choose one of the two.

Tengxun's stock was hit hard, with the largest drop since February this year. Tens of billions of funds evaporated instantly, which made him feel panicked.

These are just the numbers on paper, the loss of reputation and actual revenue is the key.

Thinking that Teng Xun was almost like a rat crossing the street and everyone was shouting and beating him, his heart felt as painful as bleeding.

He couldn't help but feel deeply remorseful for the impulsive actions he had made before. He was the one who brought Teng Xun to the abyss.

"Mr. Ma, I just received news that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the Internet Association of China have just issued an administrative order to us, asking us to stop arguing with 306 and restore compatibility with 306 immediately."

At this time, a middle-aged man with eyes walked in and said anxiously.

"What? Say it again!" Ma Huateng said with some uncertainty.

After hearing what the visitor said clearly, Ma Huateng angrily slammed the folder in his hand on the desk.

"Now is the most critical time. According to surveys, 306 has lost nearly [-] million users.

Seeing that 306 can no longer hold on, let us stop now. Doesn't this mean that all our previous efforts have been wasted? "Ma Huateng said angrily with some reluctance.

This man's name is Xiong Minghua, who is currently serving as the co-CTO (chief technology officer) of Tencent and is one of the top executives in the Tencent system.

In his previous life, even Zhang Xiaolong, the father of WeChat and Vice President of Tengxun, had to report directly to him.

At this time, his mood was the same as that of Ma Huateng. He was the one who created the software "KouKou Computer Manager".

I originally thought that Tengxun could easily enter the security market with the powerful resources of KouKou, but I didn't expect that things would develop to this point in the end.

It can be said that he takes up more than half of the responsibility for the current 3Q war. If it ends like this, Tengxun will not gain any benefits from this war.

Then he can only calm down the pressure from the board of directors by taking the blame and resigning. He has to take the blame. He can't let Xiao Ma, the company's chairman and founder, resign!

"Mr. Ma, but now the relevant departments have given us an administrative order.

If we fail to respond within the stipulated time, the consequences will be very serious, and you may even be jailed! Xiong Minghua said a little embarrassed.

Ma Huateng sat on the chair a little irritably, held his chin and thought for a while and said to Xiong Minghua, "Mr. Xiong, we must listen to the government's orders no matter what, but we can't just let 306 Company go."

You go down and order the relevant departments of the company to withdraw the incompatible promotion information, remove the negative information about 306 from the home page, and put it under other news.

Let’s put it another way and say ‘306’s hijacking of users’ incident review’, which is a more subtle disparagement of the 306 company. Let’s move the fight from the bright side to covertly. "

Hearing this, Xiong Minghua nodded and replied, "Okay, Mr. Ma, I will make arrangements right away. This is what I have to do now!"

Then Ma Huateng stopped Xiong Minghua, "Wait a minute. In addition to these, we will arrange for the company's public relations department to go to several companies in the security field such as Jinshan, Baidu, and Kaspersky."

Tell them that 306 has reached its most critical moment now. If they don't join forces to deal with 306 now, they must not regret it in the future. "

"Okay, I understand Mr. Ma."

Seeing Xiong Minghua leave, Ma Huateng leaned heavily on the back of his chair and let out a long breath.

"Time waits for me! Give me another week, and I can completely kill 306! The relevant departments are always so annoying!"

By noon, under the strong intervention of the state, some agreements were reached between Tengxun and 306, and announcements were issued to declare the war to cease.

Subsequently, no negative news about 306 could be seen on the homepage of Tengxun’s official website and Tengxun’s ‘My Information’.

Similarly, there is no negative news related to Tengxun on the homepage of 306 official website. Instead, the homepage was replaced with the news that Zhou Hongyi won the Beijing Outstanding Contribution Talent Award.

Although the two sides canceled the battle openly, they continued to fight secretly.

Tengxun Technology and 306 forums still retain negative news about each other, and Tengxun does something even more extraordinary. Under every news article, there is a huge special report on the "306 hijacking of users of QQ.com".

With the incident between Tengxun and 306 coming to an end, today the five major manufacturers including Jinshan, Kemen, Ferry, Shegou, and Youyou suddenly jumped out and issued a joint statement stating that they are incompatible with 306.

Zhou Hongyi, who was just about to take a breath, was so angry that she almost fainted, so she posted a post on Weibo called

Article "Something to Say".

"Although in this struggle, 306 did not win.

However, I want to tell Ma Huateng here: Please listen to the voices of users, please listen to the anger of Internet entrepreneurs, and then please take a look at the development trend of openness and transparency on the Internet.

Whether it is an empire or a company, as long as it is closed, it will quickly decline.

Therefore, I dare to assert here that even 306 was strangled by various resources organized by Tengxun in this duel.

If Tencent does not change its closed business model, still ignores the interests of users, and still refuses to give users the right to choose, then it will face a greater crisis from today on. "

After Zhou Hongyi published this article, it aroused great resonance in the society. Just today, the Tianfu Morning Post published a headline titled "50 Internet users in Chengdu want to sue Tengxun for forcing users."

The Capital Morning News published the headline "More than a thousand QQ users joined the collective rights protection and applied to launch an antitrust investigation against Tencent."

Nandu editorial published "Tengxun Duel 306 is a vicious fight that violates the spirit of the Internet";

Guangzhou New Express published "Tengxun is not prepared to give users a sincere statement?" 》report.

This is only a small part of it. The Internet and forums are full of public opinions criticizing Tengxun. Tengxun’s image has reached a historical low in the eyes of netizens.

The public opinion in the society weighed down Ma Huateng to the point where he could hardly breathe. He had to start thinking about what was the reason that caused Tengxun to become the current situation where everyone was calling for beatings;

This had to make him rethink his previous strategic measures and actions.

Before I think of Tengxun, as long as others did a project well, Tengxun would imitate it, and then rely on its strong financial strength and user resources to quickly surpass the original, which is equivalent to letting those entrepreneurs try and make mistakes. Tengxun finally To harvest the fruits.

He even heard that when entrepreneurs are looking for investment, they are always asked questions such as "What should you do if Tengxun plagiarizes your project?" Think about the one-sided treatment that Tengxun receives from the society now. Ma Huateng was also a little shocked by the public opinion and accusations!

He suddenly realized that he didn't know when he had become so shameless and closed-off!

Where has my dream of making Tengxun the most respected Internet company in China gone?

At this moment, Ma Huateng couldn't help but begin to examine himself and the huge and closed penguin empire behind him.

Thinking of this, Ma Huateng felt a little disappointed. Is it worth it to drift further and further away from his dream for the sake of money? He felt a little depressed!

No, I have to make changes! If Tengxun continues to be closed down like this, it will surely perish.

At this moment, Ma Huateng had the idea to look at himself and make changes for the first time!
