Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

The download volume of WeChat has skyrocketed, even faster than when the original space and time was in the hands of Fat Penguin, and the future looks bright.

The advertising money just spent went round and round and came back to the account.

Plus liquidated damages.

Overall, not only did I not spend any money, I actually made a lot of money.

Luo Hui happily hummed the made-up ballad and began to compile the second piece of soft-spoken article - "No way, no way, there are people who really don't like money, right?" 》

That's right.

The content he used to quarrel was that more than 200 portal websites and Internet media collectively refunded advertising fees and compensated for liquidated damages.

Of course, we cannot accuse Fat Penguin by name of being unethical and using money to hit these advertisers, forcing them to remove their ads and refund their advertising fees.

Liquidated damages were also paid.

It is inappropriate and has no evidence. Instead, it will turn yourself and WeChat into villains. .

Moreover, writing like this cannot arouse the sympathy of netizens and cannot attract traffic.

Traffic is king.

His purpose is to increase the download volume of WeChat through the traffic of Fat Penguin.

I didn't mean to make Brother Ma jealous.

——Things that are meaningless are not worth doing.

He was thinking hard about the ridiculous essays he had seen in his previous life, taking advantage of the beautiful moment before smartphones became popular, and prepared to give Fat Penguin some shocking education...

the other side.

While Xiao Ma was busy directing the fierce 3Q war, he also asked his secretary to keep an eye on the changes in public opinion in the Internet space and report to him every half hour.

It seems that WeChat is treated as a competitor at the same level.

There is no slight intention.

"Mr. Ma, the situation is a bit out of control."

Zhang Long opened the door again and said: "WeChat topped the list of downloads in the domestic Apple App Store, with more than 3 million downloads in three hours."

More than three million?

Xiao Ma, who was busy staring at the computer screen, hurriedly turned his head, with questions written all over his face: The result that QQ took more than half a year to achieve was actually surpassed by others in three hours?

What a joke.

While feeling uneasy, I didn't have time to ask for details, so I hurriedly picked up my Ai Kuang 4 and opened the Apple App Store to check.

That’s right, it ranks first in downloads.

The data... is still growing rapidly, with nearly 3.8 million downloads.

Brother Xiao Ma was a little confused: "Didn't you say that WeChat's ads have been replaced? Why did the number of downloads increase instead? Our three billion advertising dollars were wasted?"

"Mr. Ma, it may not be the advertising problem, it may be the crazy downloads prompted by the letter asking for advice."

After hearing Zhang Long's explanation, Xiao Ma suddenly realized.

He was so angry that he slapped his thigh: "Damn it, we were fooled, that little bastard just wanted to take advantage of our traffic!"

The principle is not complicated.

In the content of that short essay, he was a high school student and he was developing software alone.

The little bastard describes himself as a pure white lotus.

She also has a special talent for programming.

He also puts his identity in a vulnerable position that can easily arouse sympathy, and then uses "ignorant" questions about the law to arouse netizens' desire for protection.

What else can netizens do if they feel protective?

In addition to downloading WeChat, I just scold Penguin Group.

Aren’t the terrifying download numbers coming?

"That... our advertisement... is wrong. Our advertisement cannot be withdrawn."

Just when he thought of a remedy, Xiao Ma suddenly realized that he couldn't stop spending money to remove WeChat ads.

Removing QQ ads is even more troublesome.

Not only will I have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, but I will also completely offend all the online media and portal websites that place advertisements.

The removal of the advertisement is purely out of character.

Especially the key stall that is currently fighting against Zhou Hongyi must not set up a strong enemy again.

"Mr. Ma, how about I try to contact Mr. Luo to propose the terms of the merger?"

Zhang Long saw his boss was indecisive and hurriedly offered suggestions.

He knows it too.

Proposing to acquire Penguin Group at this time will definitely come at a huge cost.

The battle was not won, but it spawned a terrifying download volume of WeChat. At one time, most of the domestic Ai Kuang 4 users had WeChat installed.

It has the tendency to become a new generation of national mobile communication software.

Initiating a merger and acquisition under a weak situation is like sticking your head out to let the other party chop you.

"Mr. Ma!"

Before Brother Ma could express his position, the secretary who had been quietly staying at the desk next to him stood up and reported: "Zhou Hongyi is also gone. His personal account just posted a blog post saying that he is willing to provide legal support and network security support for WeChat. He is also willing to Provide a large amount of financing. He is going to personally visit Mr. Luo of WeChat."

What are you afraid of?

Jack Ma's ending has already muddied the waters, and adding Zhou Hongyi to the mix... WeChat is really unstoppable.

Brother Ma rubbed his temples with one hand and stood up to pace.

How melancholy!

What to do?

After thinking for a moment, he came to a conclusion: "Zhang Long, contact Mr. Luo and ask him to set conditions. As long as he can get the controlling stake, the money matter will be easy to negotiate."

"Okay, Mr. Ma! Our Fetion has just finished its internal testing. Do you want to put it on the shelves and replace QQ ads with Fetion?"

"good idea!"

"Well, although Fetion was launched in a hurry and is not as smooth as WeChat in terms of functions, it can create an illusion for netizens. It makes them think that two new Internet companies are competing against each other."

"Smart, Zhang Long! I didn't realize that you also have a talent for business warfare, so I'll just do as you say."

"Then... what about the crusade from netizens? Our public relations team has not come up with a solution for a long time. It is not good for us to be beaten passively."

"Mr. Peng is still unwilling to block that letter asking for advice?"

"Their bottom line is to suppress trending searches. The key is that the attention the letter for advice has attracted is too high, and Mr. Peng is worried about backlash."

"You're just pretending, when did they ever have such a noble thing as a bottom line? It's true that they want to extort money."

"Anyway, I offered 200 million, but they still didn't agree to block the letter asking for advice, let alone ban Mr. Luo's personal account."

"If two hundred million is not enough, how much do they want?"

"This...I'm afraid you have to come to the meeting to find out the lowest price."

"..."

Before Xiao Ma and Zhang Long could find a way to deal with it, Luo Hui's second soft article was already online.

"No way, no way, there are really people who don't like money, right? 》

I never dreamed that the advertising fees invested would be refunded in the same way.

Not only were the advertising fees returned intact, but my dear advertisers actually took the initiative to pay huge liquidated damages.

Two hundred and sixteen advertising agreements were signed, with a total refund of 308.27 million in prepaid advertising fees.

Liquidated damages of 216 million will be paid.

Overall, our WeChat advertising investment not only cost us nothing, but actually earned us more than 200 million.

Thanks to the kind advertisers.
