"Now, many people in Europe and America have already downloaded ICQ just to play the dress-up game in the ICQ software."
QQ spent millions to achieve the same promotional effect, but now ICQ has managed to balance the tide with just one small game.
Zhao Nanzhou, as QQ's chief engineer, was extremely dissatisfied, and even more dissatisfied were QQ's advertising manager and business manager.
"What I admire most about Chen Dong is that he always manages to pinpoint the pain points in the market."
Zhao Nanzhou couldn't help but reflect on himself, "Spending money on promotion did have some effect, but this effect is like creating artificial rain. The raindrops are large, but our costs are also very high."
“ICQ is different. The effect of their projects is like drip irrigation – fast, ruthless, accurate, and effective.”
After hearing the chief engineer's analogy, the atmosphere in the meeting room became even more tense.
Because they are now spending money on advertising, the initial effects are no longer being realized, and QQ is not technically capable of achieving a higher level of product optimization in the short term.
Penguin Technology is in a dilemma.

Longteng Company Headquarters.
Under the leadership of General Manager Yu, five engineers and an art consultant perfectly completed the task assigned to him by Chen Dong.
Chen Dong deliberately brought together the people from the engineering department, technical department, project department, and marketing department for a project summary meeting.
The main purpose is to summarize the success of this ICQ Show, what inspiration it gave them, and how their future products will achieve a diversified, multi-platform, multi-form, and multi-resource-supported interactive network.
As the host of this project summary meeting, General Manager Da stood on the stage, holding a megaphone, and said:
"The key to making more progress on interactive networks lies in understanding the relationships between people and between people and the network, and in figuring out what users need."
"It's not just about knowing what users need tools for, but also what their emotional needs are."
"The biggest reason why ICQ Show was a complete success this time is that ICQ Show greatly satisfied ICQ users' desire for interaction between people and the network, and between people and the platform."
As soon as he said this, the people below applauded.
The meeting lasted for two hours. After the meeting, Chen Dong invited General Manager Da Yu to his office.
"General Manager Yu, you've done a great job this time," Chen Dong praised.
"I'm developing this product based on the big boss's ideas. Actually, in terms of concept, I should thank the big boss for providing such an advanced concept for ICQ Show," said General Manager Da Yu.
This wasn't flattery; he genuinely felt that Chen Dong's ideas were very avant-garde. He was able to develop ICQ Show so smoothly under the guidance of these ideas.
“You don’t need to be modest. I’m just providing an idea, but putting that idea into practice is a very difficult step,” Chen Dong said, looking at him. Then he instructed Annie, “During this time, General Manager Da and his engineers have made great contributions to the development of ICQ Show.”
"Give them a $100,000 year-end bonus."
Mr. Da looked completely surprised!
He came from Tencent. Although Tencent had already received investment when he left, it hadn't had time to adjust the salaries of long-term employees.
Moreover, he had already been removed from the core project before leaving the company, so he received neither a bonus nor a raise, and his salary remained at two thousand yuan.
After arriving at Longteng Company, Chen Dong promised him a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan.
This was something that General Manager Da would never have dared to even dream of before.
