Actually, Lin Chen didn't want to resort to such underhanded methods, but who told Tony Ma to strike first?
Lin Chen's script is quite impressive. In his previous life, cybersecurity was a key focus for every large company, so they received a lot of training in cybersecurity.
During a training session, he witnessed such a case: software disguised as junk file cleaner could indeed clean up junk files after clicking, but this software actually sent your QQ and WeChat chat history to the other party. In this way, your computer storage space did increase, but your privacy was also leaked.
What he's doing now is simply modifying the automatic script execution command after clicking, changing it to automatically uninstall TX-related software from the computer.
Taobao and JD.com have already released celebratory posters for exceeding 100 million RMB in sales, but Pinduoduo, which should also have a celebratory poster, has yet to release one.
Some netizens then went to Lin Chen's Weibo and tagged him.
Actually, Pinduoduo's sales figures weren't that bad this time. Zhang Yiming's final adjustment of the allocation of resources played a significant role.
The impact affected 30% of the PC business, while mobile sales actually increased by more than 50% compared to last year.
In terms of total sales, it still ranks third among e-commerce platforms, with Taobao first, JD.com second, and Pinduoduo third.
Moreover, the total sales volume has increased significantly compared to last year, so it is reasonable to release a celebratory poster.
But Lin Chen gave the order to temporarily stop releasing the celebratory posters, to lull Tencent into a false sense of security.
Little Ma, who is far away in Shenzhen, is in a very good mood today.
After arriving at the company this morning, I made a point of checking the results of last night's 618 shopping festival. I was even more delighted to find that Pinduoduo hadn't even released a celebratory poster.
"Mr. Ma, what's making you so happy?"
"Xiaomei, come here, let me explain this to you properly. Close the door behind you."
The secretary locked the door and then walked gracefully toward Little Ma.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Two minutes later, the secretary opened the door.
"Oh? Sister Mei, is Mr. Ma busy?"
Xiao Mei shook her head without saying a word, then walked out with a flushed face.
Brother Ma sat in his boss's chair, looking refreshed, and lit a cigarette.
"Mr. Ma, the warning pop-up feature we developed for Huasuan.com worked really well last night. I saw in the backend records that it popped up more than 120 million times."
"Yes, well done. Your year-end bonus will be doubled."
"Thank you, Mr. Ma. When will we remove this feature?"
"Take it down? Why take it down? Isn't this a good thing? We're being responsible to our QQ users."
"But Star Technology has already figured out a way to bypass our warning, so there's no point in keeping it up."
"Hmm? So fast? I know, it must have been Lei Jun who came up with the idea for Lin Chen. Lei Jun truly lives up to his reputation as a renowned programming expert."
"Then let's take it down. With Lei Jun around, we can warn them again and they'll adjust their strategy quickly. It's pointless. Anyway, I'm already very satisfied with what we've gained this time."
"Okay, Mr. Ma."
Anyway, having already disgusted Lin Chen, Little Ma felt he had already made a profit. Hmph, let you, Genshin Impact, use patent technology to block me, you have money but won't let me make it.
Little did they know that Lin was furious about this, and he was about to bite someone!
At this moment, Lin Chen was calling Zhang Yiming and Brother Dawei together for a meeting.
Seeing the boss's serious expression, Dawei sat up straight. In the past, whenever there was something to say, the boss would just walk over and say something, or call him into the office to talk.
This formal meeting, held in a conference room, made him feel somewhat uneasy.
Moreover, Zhang Yiming's expression is so serious. What exactly happened? Wasn't last night the 618 shopping festival? Did the sales not go well?
Wait a minute, he checked this morning and found that the sales of the melon-selling uncle - Diluc have exceeded 30 million copies. This one 5-yuan skin alone has sold 150 million copies!
Lin Chen cleared his throat.
"Let's start the meeting. Today's meeting has only one agenda: how to crush Tencent's mobile games!"
"So...so ruthless, boss?" Brother Dawei stammered when he heard about the agenda.
That's Tencent, how could they possibly fight to the death?
"Yeah, that's right, it's ruthless. It's either fight to the death or fight to the death!"
Zhang Yiming nodded emphatically, indicating his agreement.
"Brother Dawei, could you tell me about the current state of Tencent's mobile games?"
"Okay, Tencent's main profitable mobile games are still card and board games. After the huge success of 'Happy Landlords', they have successively launched 'Fighting Double Deduction', 'Happy Mahjong', 'Happy Run Fast', etc., which cover almost all card and board games on the market."
They later copied our game "Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars" and developed "Honor of Kings," which is currently their second most profitable mobile game.
As for other mobile games, there are many more. Some copy "Legend of Mir," some copy "Fantasy Westward Journey." In short, they have almost everything that's available on the market. Coupled with the monstrous feature of QQ one-click login, many small companies simply can't survive.
Lin Chen nodded and continued to ask.
"And what about ourselves?"
“Our previous games still had a large number of loyal fans, but our games became popular starting with Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars, which jumped to the top of the mobile game bestseller list and has not fallen off since. Later, Genshin Impact even received praise from official media, which felt like we were wearing a yellow jacket.”
As he spoke, Dawei's smile never stopped.
Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "In other words, our current mobile game genres are relatively limited. They are mostly role-playing games. We haven't entered the card and board game market, nor the monster-hunting and leveling-up game market, right?"
“Even so, but…” Brother Dawei said hurriedly.
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen interrupted him.
"Therefore, we must unite!"
"Huh? Join forces with what?"
"Of course, we should unite with other game companies to oppose Tencent's hegemony. So, Mr. Zhang, you assemble a team to develop an open mobile game platform where any company or individual's mobile game can be placed on this platform for other players to choose from."
If the game isn't profitable, we'll only charge a portion of the operation and management fees. If the game is profitable, we'll charge a platform fee based on a percentage of the game's revenue from in-game purchases. Of course, there are other things like ranking and advertising fees, which we'll discuss in more detail later.
