Hearing the questions from Ma Ge and the others, Zhang Tianxing smiled mysteriously.
"You guys dare to talk. Right now, in China, your QQ instant messaging has a significant advantage. Although you have many competitors, you started early, your system is stable, and your service is excellent."
"Then you forgot what name you started with? I really didn't expect you to use QiCQ for over a year. Although you've changed your name now, I don't think QiCQ will let this opportunity to make money slip away."
"The main reason is that this is highly probable. The names are exactly the same, if they don't sue you, who will they sue?"
After hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Ma Jun and the other five were speechless. They had analyzed the reasons, but they couldn't quite understand why QiCQ, a foreign giant, was targeting them so relentlessly.
So it was because they wanted money. Ma Ge and the other five's expressions turned grim. Damn it, they finally found an investor, and now their money might go down the drain.
"Yi Dan, you study law, what do you think?" Ma Ge asked worriedly.
"Based on the existing evidence, we are certain to lose," Yi Dan said dejectedly. It wasn't that he lacked skill, but in this situation, winning was very difficult.
Suddenly, Yi Dan's expression changed. "Young President Zhang, since you brought it up, what are your high opinions on this matter? Tell us. If we lose the lawsuit, your investment will become compensation."
"This is exactly what I wanted to say." Zhang Tianxing didn't have any brilliant ideas for this either. After all, the 'Nanshan Invincible Pizza Hut' (a colloquialism for a highly successful law firm) wasn't ready yet, and there were only five people here.
Ma Ge gave a wry smile. "No one here is an outsider, so I won't hide anything. When I received the subpoena, I thought about selling this software. I just wanted to sell it for 600,000 yuan."
"I never expected that the other party would take advantage of my legal troubles and only offer 300,000 yuan. They're offering too little."
"Later, I contacted the son of Li Ban Cheng from Hong Kong. He said he could offer 2.2 million US dollars, but he wanted 20% of the shares. I was tempted. Isn't that better than selling it outright? It's just that Young President Zhang arrived, and if it were a few days later, Young President Zhang might have returned empty-handed."
"Young President Zhang, what should I do now?" Ma Ge looked at Zhang Tianxing for help. Although Zhang Tianxing was young, he was knowledgeable, especially his insights in certain areas that made him, who was ten years older, feel ashamed.
"Actually, this problem is quite simple. Their goal is money, so we can give them a little money. Besides, iCQ is not their company's focus for development; their emphasis is on search engines."
"Moreover, iCQ only released an English version; they don't really care about this product. For them, it's just a side product, but for us, it's different. This is our main product, our flagship product."
"Ma Ge, I believe in the strength of you guys. Here, I have a request: I hope our product can occupy half of the domestic market. Money is not a problem at all."
After Zhang Tianxing spoke, Ma Ge and Yi Dan looked at each other in silence.
Look at what Zhang Tianxing said. Things that can be solved with money are not problems.
Looking at Zhang Tianxing and then at themselves, Ma Ge felt that he had lived his thirty years in vain, being lectured by a young brat, and he couldn't even refute him.
"Ma Ge, don't look at me like that. My sexual orientation is very normal. I can't stand it when you look at me like that," Zhang Tianxing said helplessly, seeing Ma Ge's intense gaze.
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, everyone burst into laughter. "Young President Zhang, you mean to buy peace with money?" Yi Dan asked.
"Yes, we don't need to waste our energy here. What we need to do is capture some market share. We are currently promoting free usage. Once the user base grows, making money will be too easy." Zhang Tianxing painted a grand vision. Once you reach the king level, gaining experience and money becomes incredibly simple.
"If we promote free usage, how will we generate revenue?" Ma Ge asked a crucial question. The company isn't making much money now; they're practically working for free.
The most critical issue is that their profits come from side businesses that a few people devised. This QQ instant messenger has always been a money-guzzler, and there's still no hope of making money.
"Ma Ge, long-term vision is important. We can't just look at the present. As long as we persist, we might not make money for ten years, but we can recover all our costs in the eleventh year. It's that simple," Zhang Tianxing said casually.
Dong Zi was a bit unconvinced. "Young President Zhang, I know you're a master at making money, but are you making this sound too simple? This matter isn't that straightforward, is it? We currently believe that membership fees are our source of profit."
Zhang Tianxing directly rejected Dong Zi's view. "Brother Dong, now is not the time for charging fees. We haven't unified the kingdom yet. If we charge fees, our users will start to leave. Think about it, how many competitors do we have? Their strength is not weak, we just gained an early advantage; our advantage is not significant."
Ma Ge also nodded. He had considered charging fees, but Zhang Tianxing was right. There were many chat software options, and they didn't have an absolute advantage, so it was difficult.
"However, Young President Zhang, you don't need to worry. Once your money arrives, we can carry out a new round of expansion. We'll aim to capture half the market then," Ma Ge said confidently.
"That's easy. I'll have Legend advertise for you then," Zhang Tianxing promised with a smile.
Hearing this, Ma Ge was greatly excited. "Young President Zhang, you are truly righteous. Legend is really popular right now, and the number of players keeps breaking records. After talking with you, we finally understand. It's no wonder you make money; you are a born king."
It can be said now that more than half of China's netizens are Legend players, and many of them have more than one account.
The number of Legend players is the largest among all games. If they can advertise on Legend, the effect will undoubtedly be tremendous.
"Young President Zhang, I'm so glad to know you. Otherwise, the five of us might not have been able to hold on. You don't know how difficult our lives have been recently," Dong Zi said, his emotions somewhat out of control.
Ma Ge and the others understood Dong Zi. They had been under immense pressure recently, the pressure of money, and having to fight a lawsuit they couldn't win.
"Actually, you could try forming your own legal department. I know someone who is quite good," Zhang Tianxing said, introducing the soul of the 'Nanshan Invincible Pizza Hut' at this moment.
