Chapter 1574 In Society, My Brother Ma, People Can Also Say Ruthless

"...I can only say that in today's world, no matter how many big companies have emerged, human beings are still at the dawn of the Internet age, and the faint morning light can't light the way too far."

Sitting on the rostrum, Andy, who had accepted questions from reporters for half an hour, was smiling calmly and talking calmly. His demeanor left a deep impression on everyone present.

"The Internet is really a very magical thing. It's only been a few years. You can see that under its impetus, the earth has become a village, and the entire human society has become an interesting laboratory. Everyone We have all become designers and participants in this great experiment, which, believe me, deserves our breathless, awe-inspiring, and devotion."

"Papa--"

Andy's emotion caused warm applause from the audience, and Mr. Ma, who was sitting beside him, was also a little moved. While clapping, he turned his head and whispered to Andy: "That's very good. !"

"Thank you." Andy smiled slightly, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

After the applause subsided, after the host gave away the last chance to ask questions, a reporter stood up and greeted Andy and Mr. Ma first, then turned his eyes to Mr. Ma, and asked quite sharp questions.

"Hello, Mr. Ma, I'm a reporter from HK's "Ming Pao". I want to ask Mr. Ma, what do you think about the copycat problem that your company has been criticized for a long time?"

I have to say that this question was really sharp, and the reporters present all turned their heads to look at the reporter who asked the question, and then looked at Mr. Ma on the rostrum with burning eyes.

But Mr. Ma didn't seem to be surprised, nor did he show any displeasure. The doll still had a gentle and elegant smile on his face, and said with a smile under the gazes of all kinds of people who couldn't understand.

"It cannot be denied that, similar to most successful domestic Internet companies, Penguin's success also started from imitation. But Penguin's difference is that it can carry out effective innovation in imitation.

In fact, innovation and introduction are not contradictory. For example, the automobile industry of foot basins and rods all start from introduction, and then start to innovate. My personal understanding of imitation is that you can understand it as learning, a kind of absorption, a method of learning from each other, and there is innovation in imitation.

What I have always advocated is also smart introduction, and continue to innovate on this basis. Everyone knows Penguin's core product chat tool, which is a typical case of this kind of imitation innovation.

Although it itself is an imitation, its success is not due to imitation. Offline messages, groups, magic emoticons, mobile versions, dazzling bells, etc. are all our innovations, which is why we will grow stronger and stronger. It is not the main reason for being eliminated from the market. . . "

Listening to Mr. Ma talking eloquently beside him, Andy complained wildly in his heart, how is this f*cking person not good at words, he is too f*cking to speak, and he really caught him!

Yes, this original version has been kicked to that corner, and penguins do occupy half of the country in China, MSN and other miscellaneous chat tools are divided into half, and as time goes by, penguins who are getting fatter continue to In squeezing the living space of the opponents, I believe that the situation where the Penguin family dominates will not be too far away.

Still thinking about asking a few more questions, the crazy reporters who took a few photos were stopped by the hotel security personnel, and Andy and Mr. Ma left the press conference surrounded by everyone.

"...Users' choices are cruel, and only companies that meet user needs can succeed. In recent years, the company has not only focused on the product level, but also increased investment in the establishment of innovation mechanisms. In 2006, the investment 100 million RMB to set up Penguin Research Institute to attract scientists and technicians from Tianchao to join. In addition to taking innovation as Penguin’s core values, the company will also establish a sound innovation system and mechanism in the future so that the company can maintain lasting innovation vitality.

"

In the restaurant box of the Four Seasons Hotel, Mr. Ma and Andy sat on the sofa in the rest area and talked. Facing Andy Smith, who was already his own, Mr. Ma introduced Penguin Company in detail.

"Pony, I don't know if you have used WhatsApp before?" Andy asked after listening to Mr. Ma's introduction, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes shining brightly, and looking at Mr. Ma.

"The mobile chat tool, I know, is also a product of yours. It is a very good mobile chat tool, but the charged SMS and profit means are troubles that need to be solved."

Andy's eyes lit up slightly, and he sighed inwardly for Mr. Ma's straight-to-the-point point of view.

"Pony, I want to introduce WhatsApp to China...Of course, localization and improvement will naturally be carried out, but promotion and operation require the cooperation of a strong local enterprise..." Andy finally threw out this one Take the bait and watch Mr. Ma's face change.

"Pony, are you interested?"

Mr. Ma stared at Andy for a moment, then smiled brightly and said, "Of course, I'm not just interested, but very interested. Andy, tell me how you want to cooperate. Do you want to authorize it?"

Andy shook his head with a smile, and said to himself, what you think is really beautiful. There was no other expression on his face, and he smiled and said straight forward: "I want to set up a new company alone and jointly hold shares with Penguin. In this company, Penguin can dominate and account for 51% of the shares. The United States can provide We jointly develop all technical support including source code, and Penguin controls the operation to create a mobile chat app exclusive to the Chinese market."

"..." After listening to Andy's proposal, Mr. Ma couldn't help frowning slightly, his eyes flickering as he fell into thinking.

Andy didn't urge him, but looked at him with a smile, and waited patiently, not in a hurry at all. To be honest, Andy's cooperation conditions can be said to be relatively fair and generous, and it can even be said that Penguin has taken a lot of money. Less cheap, anyway, the new company Penguin is the major shareholder with more than half of the shares, and is the controller of the new company. If it is not for the special national conditions, Andy is worried that if he does it alone, he will land happily. Being pushed away, Andy would never give Penguin such a favorable condition.

"Andy, I need to think about it, and I need to report it to the board of directors before I can give a definite answer." Mr. Ma finished thinking, and said with a wry smile at Andy.

"Hehe, no problem, don't worry." Andy said with a light smile. He really wasn't in a hurry. In his opinion, the probability of this cooperation is definitely more than 80%. At least Mr. Ma is very interested in this project. I'm optimistic about it, otherwise I wouldn't think about it for such a long time.

"That's good, come on, let's have dinner first, for the pleasure of our cooperation, you may want to drink a few more glasses later, ha ha." Seeing the waiter walk in with the dishes, Mr. Ma invited Andy to the table, smiling as he walked road.

"Hehe, I won't lie to you, I can't drink enough." Andy said after sitting down with a wry smile and shaking his head.

. . . . . .

Andy, who was suffering from a headache, opened his eyes. The light in the bedroom was a bit dim. Outside the window, it was already nightfall. He felt a dry mouth and sat up with difficulty. After drinking the water, he felt refreshed for a while, put down the water glass, patted his forehead with a wry smile.

He was really screwed up by Mr. Ma, he was too fucking drinkable. And there are too many ways to persuade people to drink! Andy was really confused, so he started to drink baijiu with him.

It's really a society, my brother Ma, who can speak very well. . .

To be honest, Andy really didn't dare to drink, fearing that he would make mistakes if he said too much, but fortunately, at least he was clear-headed, and he didn't drink completely. After feeling that he was too drunk, he resolutely ended the luncheon.
