That evening, Lin Chen, Zhang Yiming, and An Rou had already set up the hot pot in the conference room.
"It smells so good! It's better to be lucky than early, hahaha."
"Hey? Brother Jun, what brings you here?"
"I figured you guys would definitely be keeping an eye on the 618 shopping festival, so I came down here to team up with you guys."
"Haha, welcome, welcome! Anrou, bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."
The four of them were already quite familiar with each other, so there was no awkwardness, and they started eating.
After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Chen slumped in his chair, rubbing his round belly as he asked Lei Jun a question.
"Brother Jun, you should have prepared enough stock of Xiaomi Mi 2 phones this time, right?"
"Don't worry, this time it's definitely enough. I've stocked up a million units at the Wushang Logistics Park. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. With so many Xiaomi products going forward, ordinary warehouses really won't be enough."
By the time we finished cleaning up, it was already 10 p.m., and we still had two hours left.
Everyone chatted and ate sunflower seeds while waiting for the time to come.
Lin Chen was unaware that Little Ma had prepared a surprise for him at midnight.
Finally, a countdown appeared on the television in the conference room.
"10...9...8...3...2...1!"
After the countdown ended, Pinduoduo's current transaction volume appeared on the screen.
One minute... twenty million!
Three minutes... fifty million!
Ten minutes... 80 million!
It's about to break 100 million!
"Um?"
Lin Chen sensed something was wrong. Logically, the first ten minutes are the golden time for payment. Many consumers have already selected their favorite items and added them to their shopping carts. Once the 618 shopping festival begins, they open their shopping carts, select the items they want to buy, and then proceed to payment.
You can go to sleep after paying.
Instead of waking people up at midnight to start picking things out on the spot.
How much money can you make from that? You could say that during a shopping festival, the transaction volume in the first hour is sometimes more than the total transaction volume for the entire following day.
However, Pinduoduo's transaction volume showed a downward trend in less than half an hour.
This doesn't make sense. What's wrong with it?
Just then, Zhang Yiming's phone rang.
Zhang Yiming answered the phone, saying "uh-huh," "oh," and "I understand."
His expression then became increasingly serious.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yiming told Lin Chen what had happened on the phone.
"Mr. Lin, we just discovered that every time a computer with QQ logged in, QQ automatically pops up a message saying 'This website is not safe.'"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's face immediately darkened.
Damn it, Tony, why aren't you focused on your mobile game? What are you doing here, joining the online shopping frenzy? Does Tencent even have an online store? Why are you doing something so self-destructive?
Zhang Yiming then took out a laptop and tested it for everyone, and found that it really was true.
Tencent is so shameless!
When Lei Jun saw this, he was dumbfounded. "Is everyone in the online shopping industry this dirty?"
Wait a minute, I haven't heard anything about Tony going into online shopping.
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Yiming: "Has the technical department come up with any good solutions?"
"Not yet, QQ is such a rogue app!"
"Hmph! Scoundrels! Well then, I'll show them what real scoundrels are!"
"Okay, step aside and let me do it."
Lin Chen sat in Zhang Yiming's seat, his fingertips dancing on the keyboard as he typed code.
Lei Jun walked over, looked at the code Lin Chen had written, and exclaimed, "Wow, it turns out my little brother is quite the programming expert!"
Lin Chen wrote a script that would run automatically.
When you enter the URL to open Huasuan.com, you will be automatically redirected to another website, thus bypassing QQ verification.
QQ also determines whether a user has opened a Huasuan.com based on the URL.
Once you've finished writing, immediately upload and update the directory.
I tested it, and indeed QQ can no longer detect the website the user opened, so no more pop-up notifications appeared.
I glanced at the time; it was already past one o'clock.
Sigh, it seems like all that effort was for nothing. Pinduoduo probably didn't make much money this 618 shopping festival because of Tencent's mess.
Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar.
"Brothers, I've discovered a really strange phenomenon. As long as you have QQ running on your computer, and then you open Huasuan.com, a risk warning box will pop up."
"I've been using Huasuan.com for so long, when did it become a risky website?"
"Could it be that Lin Gou found the long night too boring, so he was watching porn on the server...hehe."
"Alright, stop guessing. You'd be better off logging out of QQ and then opening Huasuan.com to see for yourself."
"I can attest that Huasuan.com is still the same Huasuan.com, without the slightest change."
"Hmm? I think I smell a conspiracy."
"Oh, I've never heard of Star Technology and Tencent having a grudge?"
"No grudge? Brother, you're wrong. These two families have a huge feud."
"Oh? Let the guy upstairs elaborate."
"Go into detail, I'm a country bumpkin and I love to hear it."
"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Just take Genshin Impact: The Prequel and Honor of Kings as examples. The first time they copied the gameplay, and the second time they directly copied the map. Wouldn't most people come knocking on your door and fight you to the death?"
"It's only because Xingchen Technology has excellent technology and a solid foundation that it might have disappeared into history like those small companies."
"This is probably one of the main reasons why the domestic game industry has not been able to develop."
...
Netizens are hotly debating the love-hate relationship between Star Technology and Tencent, and there are even photos of Lin Chen visiting Tencent's headquarters.
As expected, netizens are the most terrifying thing.
Lin Chen continued writing code. Although he had ignored the QQ pop-up notification, he still couldn't swallow his anger. How much money was he going to lose?
Lei Jun's lips twitched as he looked at the second script Lin Chen had finished writing.
"Brother, isn't this inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with that? They started it!!!"
"Well, TX really went a bit too far this time."
Click to upload updates.
A new icon for cleaning up junk files has appeared in the bottom right corner of the new Huasuan.com homepage.
At the same time, it checks whether there is any Tencent-related software on the user's computer.
If so, a pop-up window will appear asking the user if they need automatic virus scanning due to excessive junk files.
If the user clicks "Confirm Cleanup," all TX-related software on the computer will be uninstalled as well.
It could be said that Lin Chen was prepared to retaliate in kind.
"Hey guys, Huasuan.com has updated again, and they even added a new junk file cleanup feature..."
