My Son, You Just Entered Elementary School, How Can You Become The Richest Person?
Chapter 162
The word penguin, not to mention in the next 20 years, even if it is placed in 10 years, it is a real golden signboard.
Although along the way, there was a lot of scolding.
But I have to admit that this company is definitely a super enterprise in the world.
In fact, in this day and age, penguins are still not unknown.
Four years ago, a group of founders began developing and releasing OICQ in a converted office in a dance studio.
This early chat tool on the Internet has won the love of many early netizens.
And now.
After four years of development, the name of OICQ was also changed to Penguin Chat last year, and it has been continuously optimized and upgraded.
User stickiness and the number of users have ushered in explosive growth.
There are more and more new users.
Old users are still sticky.
This product has become a popular choice for young people nowadays.
Learn to go online as the first step to get started.
A young man, if you don't have a penguin account, then you are embarrassed to say that you will surf the Internet.
With such a high user stickiness, it is natural that the popularity of penguins is rising.
Search for penguin-related topics on the Internet, and you can immediately see the good news that penguins send out every once in a while.
As if to tell everyone that penguins are in full swing.
At the same time, it is also telling all investors that we have full potential and a promising future!
At least, people who see this news do have such thoughts.
But alas.
The penguins that are glamorous on the surface are not the case now, and it is not even an exaggeration to describe them as stormy.
Pengcheng Huaqiangbei, SEG Science and Technology Park.
The décor is very simple, even in the office of an old-fashioned blue cubicle.
A group of young people.
At this moment, they are gathering together, and the meeting is starting with a sad face.
There is no way, the current Penguin is not to mention the later Penguin Building, and even FIYTA is not qualified to enter, so naturally there will be no formal conference room.
"Why is
it so long?" "The airport is not far from here, why is it so long
?" "Why don't you call Lao Zhang Chen?"
"Wait a minute."
"But how long has it been, shouldn't investors change their minds temporarily?"
"It should... Wouldn't it?
"..."
Everyone's faces were a little ugly, and the pony who was sitting on the main seat, who was also anxious, also frowned, but still comforted:
"Everyone be patient, since the investors this time have proposed to come to the company to take a look, and everyone has already arrived in Pengcheng, it will definitely not change the hexagram from time to time, everyone will clean up carefully, don't leave a bad impression on the guests." Hearing
this, everyone's faces turned bitter:
"This has been cleaned up five times, how else can you clean it
up?" "By the way, Lao Xu has put away your socks
?" "Definitely, I still need you to remind you!"
"Where did you hide the marching bed?"
"Toilet."
"I'm blanching, I still have to use the marching bed at night, how strong is the smell?"
"Bear with it, Lao Ma said, if today's investment is negotiated, let's immediately change the inflatable bed, that thing is much more comfortable than the marching bed, and it doesn't take up space." "
That's great, everyone remember, we have to show our energy and fighting spirit later.
"It's definitely no problem, but this time I heard that it's a foreigner, and those foreigners value profits the most, can it really be done?"
"If it doesn't work, you have to try it."
Everyone discussed, all of them were young people, they looked a little frizzy, and the anxiety on their faces was obvious at a glance.
Fortunately, there wasn't too much of a wait.
A familiar voice came:
"Mr. Meg, this is our Penguin Technologies, please come in, I'll show you around." Hearing
this, everyone's eyes lit up:
"Lao Chen is here
!" "Hurry up, don't get around, get to work!" "Don't
hold back!"
"..."In
the end, he is a young man, and his hands and feet are nimble.
Before, they were still crying and mourning together, but in the next second, they had returned to their jobs one by one.
The keyboard crackled and seemed extraordinarily busy and serious.
Just by looking closely, you can notice that everyone's gaze can't help it.
A strong glance towards the door.
I saw that Chen Yidan, who was in charge of administrative and external business affairs, was politely pushing open the door of the company with a smile on his face.
Behind him was a blonde foreigner in a suit and leather shoes.
"Mr. Meg, this is Mr. Ma Huateng, the owner of our Penguin Internet Company, boss, this is Mr. Meg from the NPX Group of the Sunset Empire.
With Chen Yidan's introduction, Ma Huateng shook hands with the foreign friend in front of him, and the next step was the normal visit process.
Actually, there's not much to visit.
After all, the company is a big place, and the only interesting thing is that a few employees type code.
But it's a pity.
The Mr. Meg in front of him didn't seem to be too interested in this, especially after getting close to one of the employees, he subconsciously frowned and pinched his nose.
The employee's face turned red and his head was sweating, and he looked extremely nervous.
Fortunately, it was Ma Huaten who noticed it and took the lead in proposing: "Mr. Meg, why don't we go to the office for a cup of tea and talk slowly?"
The
three of them entered the general manager's office.
That's the best place for the whole Penguin Company, in addition to an extra flower stand decoration, and a set of sofas from the second-hand market.
In the past, everyone was reluctant to sit for fear of breaking it.
After all, it's a place for distinguished guests.
And when the door of the manager's office closed, a group of people outside returned to normal, the young man who had made foreign friends frown.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Lao Zhang, you haven't changed your clothes?"
"
I almost ruined this collaboration.
Someone accused, Zhang Zhidong, who was in charge of product development, suddenly looked embarrassed and apologetic:
"I'm sorry, I haven't been home to take a shower and change clothes during this time, I'll pay attention next time." "
Let's type code, we can't take care of ourselves, isn't it common to work overtime, if you can take a shower and change your clothes every day, what else is you called a programmer?"
"Well, that's what we think, but that's not what other investors think.
"Hopefully there will be progress this time." "
We have more and more users, but we don't have the money to continue to support the server, if we have money, where can we stay up late and work overtime every day, and can't even take a shower?"
"This time Lao Ma is fully prepared, he will definitely be able to negotiate, but it's a pity that IDG and Xiangjiang Li Gongzi are unwilling to chase after it, otherwise where would it be so miserable?"
Alas, to put it bluntly, it was the Internet bubble, and they couldn't find a profit point, they didn't make any money, and these investors were not stupid, and they still invested money in it. The
crowd whispered again.
At a time like this, no one has the heart to work hard anymore.
After all.
Now the penguins are in the biggest crisis.
In the eyes of the outside world, the number of Penguin users continues to surge, and it has even become the leader of instant messaging in China.
But the problem is.
Only they know that this is really just a superficial appearance.
Because with the influx of new users, Penguin's servers also need to be constantly upgraded to accommodate so many users.
But it's for money.
In fact, last year, the penguins almost collapsed because of financial problems, and even Ma Huaten planned to sell the penguins for 1.5 million yuan, but no one wanted to take over.
In the end, it was good luck.
By chance, at the cost of 40% of the shares, from IDG and Xiangjiang Li Gongzi.
Obtained 2.2 million meter knives.
This is a life extension for the penguin.
But this amount of money can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for Penguin, which has tens of millions of users today, barely making ends meet.
New users are soaring, and more than two million meters of knives will soon be burned out.
Not to mention developing new things, even if they want to maintain it, they will need more money.
But the problem is, you can't find that much money at all.
The previous two investors are now avoiding, unwilling to chase a penny in, and even rush to cash out their shares.
I'm afraid that the bottomless pit of penguins will drag them down.
In this way, the situation with penguins is even worse.
Either die.
Or keep boiling.
They obviously chose the latter, and they had no choice but to attack everywhere and pull investment everywhere.
Hopefully, someone will be able to find someone who is willing to invest in them again.
Otherwise....
What awaits them will be a complete annihilation, and a few years of perseverance, completely burned.
And now.
This meeting in the manager's office.
That is, the meeting that decided their fate!
