Chapter 1555: Society My Brother Ma, People Say Hard
“ I can only say that in today's world, no matter how many large companies have emerged, humans are still at the dawn of the Internet age, and the weak dawn has not been able to illuminate the path too far away. ”
Sitting on the podium, Andy, who had accepted a half-hour of journalistic questions, smiled and spoke calmly, impressed everyone in the room.
“The Internet is a truly amazing thing, and it's only been a few years, as you can see, because of it, the Earth has become a village, and human society as a whole has become a wonderful laboratory. Everyone has become a designer and participant in this great experiment, and believe me, it deserves our breath, awe and dedication. ”
“Bang-bang--”
Andy's emotion sparked a warm round of applause, and there was a slight facial stiffness sitting next to him on the horse's face, clapping his hands and whispering to Andy on the side: "Excellent! ”
“Thank you.” Andy smiled with a strange look in his eyes.
After the applause subsided and the moderator sent out his last chance to ask questions, a journalist stood up and greeted Andy and Ma first, his eyes turned to Ma and the questions asked were quite sharp.
“Hello, Mr. Ma, I'm a reporter for HK Ming Gazette. I'd like to ask Mr. Ma, how do you see the problem of imitating mountain villages where your company has always been sickened? ”
I have to say, the question was really sharp, and the reporters in the room looked back at the questioning reporters, and then a glance at the head of the horse on the podium.
And the horse did not always seem surprised, nor did it reveal a slight discomfort. The doll's face still smiled with an elegant and elegant smile, smiling in the eyes of all kinds of people.
“It cannot be denied that, like most successful domestic Internet companies, penguin success begins with imitation. But what makes penguin companies different is that they are able to innovate effectively in imitation.
In fact, there is no contradiction between innovation and introduction, such as the automotive industry of foot basins and sticks, which starts with introduction and then starts to innovate. My personal understanding of imitation is that you can understand it as learning, as an absorption, as a way to complement and shorten, and there are also innovations in imitation.
What I have always advocated is also smart introduction, and constant innovation on that basis. You know the core product chat tool of Penguin, which is a typical example of this kind of imitation innovation.
Although it is a counterfeit in itself, its success is not due to imitations, like offline messages, crowds, magic expressions, mobile versions, bells, etc., which is why we are getting bigger and bigger rather than being eliminated by the market... ”
Listen to the horse around him talk, Andy had a raving gut in his heart, where the fuck is this unspeakable person, too much TM will say, he really drove me!
Yeah, the original version of ICO was already unknown to have been kicked into the corner, and the penguins did occupy the half-baked mountains in the Heavenly Dynasty, and MSN and some other miscellaneous chat tools split in half. Over time, the fatter penguins continued to squeeze the opponents' living space, believing that the penguins' unique situation would not be too far away.
Still thinking about asking a few more questions, the crazy reporters who took a few pictures were forcefully blocked by hotel security, and Andy and Ma always left the press conference in crowds.
“ Users' choices are brutal and only companies that are responsive to users' needs can succeed. Throughout the years, the company has invested more in the establishment of innovation mechanisms, not only at the product level. In 2006, RMB invested hundreds of millions of yuan in the establishment of the Penguin Research Institute to attract scientists and technicians from Tianjing. In addition to making innovation a core value of penguins, the company will also establish a sound innovation system and mechanism in the future to enable the company to sustain its innovation vitality. ”
In the dining room at the Four Seasons Hotel, President Ma and Andy sat on the couch in the lounge area, and in the face of Andy Smith, who was already his own, General Ma gave a detailed introduction to the penguin company.
“Pony, don't you know if you've ever used WhatsApp?” Andy listened to the general introduction of the horse, with his mouth slightly raised and his eyes shining brightly, looked at the general horse and asked.
“A mobile chat tool, I know, is also a product of yours and is a great mobile chat tool, but charging text messages and making money are all the hassles to solve. ”
Andy's eyes lit up slightly, and his heart sighed at the idea that the horse was always so bad that he was famous.
“Pony, I want to introduce WhatsApp to Heaven... Of course, naturally there will be localization improvements, but both promotion and operation will require a strong local enterprise cooperation...” Andy eventually threw out this bait and watched as the horse's face changed.
“Pony, are you interested? ”
Watching Andy's horse always starts off with a slight glimpse, and his eyes quickly smile brightly: "Of course, not just interested, but very interested, Andy, tell me, how do you want to cooperate, authorize? ”
Andy shook his head with a smile and said, "You think so beautifully. But without any other expression on his face, he smiled and said,“ I want to set up a new company alone and share a stake with penguins, a company that can dominate, with 51% stake, that can provide all the technical support, including the source code, that we can develop together, penguin-owned operations, and create a mobile chat APP app dedicated to the Tianjin market. ”
“ ”After listening to Andy's suggestion, Ma frowned slightly and his eyes glistened into thought.
Andy didn't rush, but smiled at him, waiting very patiently, not at all. To be honest, Andy's terms of cooperation can be said to be fairer and more generous. Even so, the penguin company took a lot of advantage. Anyway, the penguin of the new company is the majority shareholder of the shares and the controller of the new company. If it wasn't for the special circumstances of the country, Andy worried that he would do it alone, he would be happy to land, and after a short time the gray sneak away, Andy would never give the penguin such a generous condition.
“Andy, I need to think about it and report it to the board before I can give a clear answer.” Ma always finished thinking, and some helpless chuckled at Andy.
“Oh, no problem, no rush.” Andy smiled softly and said that it was indeed not urgent, which in his view was definitely more than 80 percent of the time, and at least Ma was always very fond of the project, otherwise he would not have considered it for that long.
“Well, come on, let's eat first, have fun working with us, you'll have a few more drinks later, huh?” As the waiter walked in with the dish, Ma always invited Andy to join him and laughed as he walked in.
“Oh, I can't drink without lying to you.” Andy shook his head and sat down laughing.
Andy, with a headache, opened his eyes and the light in the bedroom was a little dim. Outside the window, it was already dark, and he felt a dry mouth. He sat up hard. He reached for the glass on the head of the wound. He drank it with a large mouth. After drinking a glass of water, he felt a little comfortable. He put the glass down and patted himself on the forehead with a bitter smile.
He was really miserable by the horses, too fucking drinkable. And there are so many ways to persuade me! Andy was really confused and started having a glass of white wine with him.
It's really social, my brother, and people say...
To be honest, Andy was really afraid of getting drunk, afraid of losing words, but okay, he was at least sober, didn't drink thoroughly to get down, felt like he drank high, and then resolutely ended the luncheon.
