Chapter 347

In Shenzhen, the top-level conference room of Tencent headquarters, when other domestic Internet enterprises led by Huizhong Baidu and other companies released proposals, Tencent executives, including President Ma, were holding a regular morning meeting since the war with 360.

Three hours, bursting with happiness of 60 million, the Tencent executives were delighted and angry, and the total number of horses was also weakened by the awesome record.

However, behind this joy, every senior executive can see a trace of hidden worry from each other's faces. Such a big deal has caused public anger among netizens all over the country. It is impossible to ignore what will happen at that time and how Tencent should deal with it. Every senior executive present has some doubts.

It's only because the previous decision was too ambitious. When Ma and the executives of Tencent knew that the QQ bodyguard had 50 million downloads in three days, they were very angry. At the same time, they all felt that if they didn't fight back, QQ would be finished. Since the public relations department issued three statements and announcements, 360 didn't stop, and there was no intention to take care of it, Tencent had to take action by itself!

"This battle will continue. We firmly believe that we will win the support of users and win this battle." this is what President Ma personally said when he finally decided to release the open letter at the Tencent high-level meeting. After this sentence, QQ, Tencent News Media and other operation teams in charge of Tang Daosheng cooperated with Tencent public relations department to release this open letter on the whole network.

However, even Mr. Ma didn't expect that the lethality of their open letter was so great. The unloading volume of more than 60 million in three hours has completely exceeded their estimated upper limit and completely disrupted the normal business competition behavior of China's Internet industry.

Therefore, although the executives at the morning meeting pretend to talk and laugh to celebrate the upcoming victory, everyone knows that no one dare to be happy too early until the dust settles.

Sure enough, just a few minutes after the morning meeting, President Ma's secretary rushed into the conference room and even forgot to knock on the door to wait for President Ma's permission. Her hurry directly made all the executives attending the meeting nod in their hearts and something big happened!

When the secretary informed the executives present of the proposal issued by Huizhong Baidu and other companies, the atmosphere in the whole conference room reached unprecedented dignity!

No one dared to speak, even the atmosphere did not dare to breathe. President Ma, who was in the main position, even forgot the rules of no smoking in the conference room. He involuntarily took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket and wanted to have a smoke.

"Da, Da, Da"

Ma always had a trembling hand. He lit his cigarette several times and didn't light it. Liu Zhiping, who sat next to him, moved his chair and took out a cigarette. He gathered in front of Ma and lit it together.

The fire ignited two cigarettes in the hands of Ma and Liu Zhiping. They both took a deep breath. Then they raised their heads and looked around at the executives present.

Some of them were staring at Ma Zong and Liu Zhiping's extraordinary gaffe, while others, like these two, took cigarettes out of their pockets and smoked.

The meeting room was still quiet until Mr. Ma finished smoking a cigarette, pressed the cigarette end directly on the ground and threw it in the trash can at the corner of the table. He looked up, breathed deeply and said:

"Let's have a rest first. Those who want to smoke and those who want to go to the toilet will go to the toilet. We'll start our discussion in a few minutes!"

Mr. Ma said this and his nose stirred twice. It seemed that only the smell of smoke in the air could make him more calm. His hand involuntarily took out the cigarette point from the cigarette box.

At this time, the executives present were silent, smoking, or distracted. They didn't know what they were thinking. They didn't leave their seats and go to the bathroom. What should be solved before the morning meeting had just been solved. The morning meeting had only been held for a few minutes, and no one wanted to go out and stay alone.

More than ten minutes later, the top-level meeting room was filled with smoke, and the only two female executives among the executives did not mind at all. After President Ma pressed out the fifth cigarette end, the mood had been stable and calm, and the executives present recovered more or less.

"Let's start!" Mr. Ma said this. After more than ten seconds, no senior executive dared to speak. Liu Zhiping, sitting next to him, came out and said:

"Now that things have happened, what we need to do now is to figure out how to deal with them. Tencent has experienced 12 years of ups and downs since its establishment in 1998. We have faced more difficult and worse environments than now. Let's say the one in 2000..."

Liu Zhiping talked about several extremely difficult and intractable difficulties and setbacks faced by Tencent since its establishment. In the view of Tencent, President Ma and other senior executives at that time, these difficulties may destroy Tencent at any time, but over the years, they have walked through these setbacks again and again, and the more frustrated they are, the more brave they are, and the stronger they are.

The difficulties and crises that once made Tencent feel that it would collapse at any time are no big deal in today's view. Tencent, which is becoming more and more powerful, is also more and more difficult to encounter the difficulties and dangers that make Ma and Tencent executives lose their attitude and not calm. I feel that Tencent may collapse as a result!

Obviously, Tencent is facing such a crisis. Otherwise, Liu Zhiping will not recall his past glory and courage, boost the morale of senior executives and stabilize the morale of the army. Not to mention, even President Ma is more calm under the influence of Liu Zhiping's words.

Liu Zhiping's words opened the chatterbox of senior executives, and everyone followed Liu Zhiping's reminiscence and discussion. Finally, the topic slowly turned to the crisis.

The so-called crisis naturally refers to the proposal issued by Huizhong and other companies.

On the surface, this proposal only condemns Tencent and 360 yunyun, but which of the executives here is not the elite, whether it is QQ abusing its dominant market position for unfair business competition, or the national Internet industry, in addition to Tencent, including Huizhong and Baidu, Alibaba and a bunch of other Internet companies, large and small, have jointly released this proposal.

What does this explain behind it? It shows that Tencent is now not only on the road of being the enemy of national Internet users because of the major wrong decision of one out of two, but also against the national Internet industry!

After a short night, so many companies jointly issued such a proposal, which made the backs of all Tencent executives, including President Ma, cold!

This, this is premeditated!

Tencent is not only the enemy of the whole Internet industry, but also the enemy has long dug a pit waiting for Tencent to jump in. Who knows, what else does Tencent have to face next? Legal penalties for abuse of market dominance? Even antitrust investigations? Industry wide companies stop cooperating with Tencent? Huizhong guides angry netizens to support YY? What kind of explanation and reply will the above make in order to calm the people's anger and the voice of the whole industry?

At this time, many executives thought about the phone call that president Fang Huizhong had made to President Ma at their meeting a few days ago. Tencent withdrew, which is good for everyone!

shiver all over though not cold! shiver all over though not cold!

Executives seem to feel that they, Tencent and 360, the two largest companies in China, are played by Huizhong's 23-year-old founder!
