Chapter 180 The Proud Little Brother
Ma When Ma Huazhu saw the Chinese version of the Little Penguin communication software, he was full of praise for the R&D capabilities of Nexon in Korea. Even the stock trading software developed by his own staff was not so attractive!
Of course, the representative from Korea also explained some of the tricks to Ma Huazhuo, especially the instant messaging software called "Little Penguin", which required Penguin Company to arrange people to register the patent as soon as possible. If possible, other Asian countries should also register as soon as possible to avoid suffering big losses in copyright and patents in the future.
After all, their current version 1.0 is not much different from the original ICQ software in the United States, and the software functions are also similar. When Nexon develops version 2.0, this instant messaging software will be significantly different from the other party's products, and it will not be at a disadvantage in terms of patents and copyrights.
As for the two self-developed online games they brought, there is no such worry. They only need to register the patents step by step. After all, even if other game manufacturers want to imitate or copy them, it will take them a year or two to develop similar games.
But this amount of time is enough for Nexon to develop games with better quality and more gameplay! …
In the following week, Penguin Company also put in a lot of effort. Not only did it complete the copyright and patent registration of the game and instant messaging software through internal channels within three days, it also placed advertisements and promotional posters on many websites and offline electronic shopping malls, Internet cafes and other places to promote "Kingdom of Winds", "Dark Legend" and the Little Penguin communication software.
As Penguin's advertisements spread from Pengcheng to several surrounding cities, Ding Lei from NetEase and Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun who were far away in the capital also heard the news and asked Ma Huazhuo online what had happened to cause such a big fuss.
And when Ma Huazhuo said with a proud look on his face that the big boss Zhang Junfeng really sent people from Korea to bring two exquisite games and an instant messaging software to him for operation, Ding Lei, Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun were all envious.
Especially for those two games, they soon discovered the trick through the key introductions in the promotional posters. The exquisite game graphics were simply overwhelming in Longguo. How could those game companies that had just started not long ago survive?! They enviously complained that Ma Huazhuo was too lucky, and at the same time, they were also impressed by the generosity of the big boss Zhang Junfeng. He actually did what he promised at the beginning and brought the ready-made products directly to Longguo!
You should know that whether it is Kingsoft Software or NetEase, their previous product development journey is hard to describe with the words "rugged" and "bumpy"! As the most important part of a product, the research and development has already consumed a lot of their time, money and energy, and it is very likely that the finished product will not be satisfactory, and they may face the embarrassing situation of having to cancel it and start over again.
But the steps for Ma Huazhuo were so easy. The R&D part was done by Nexon in Korea, and his company Penguin only needed to be responsible for the subsequent sales, operation and maintenance of the product! They had never seen such an Internet business model. If they had another chance, they would definitely not hesitate to say to Zhang Junfeng, "Let me be your Internet agent in Longguo!"
…
However, Ding Lei, who had recovered from his envy, immediately proposed to Ma Huazhuo that the current page views of their NetEase company's portal website were also quite impressive, with more than 100,000 page views every day. Penguin could definitely place game and software ads there! Moreover, the price of the ads was much more affordable than the prices reported in those newspapers, and the effect was immediate!
Seeing Ding Lei so "shamelessly" pulling orders for his company's website, Lei Jun cursed him inwardly for being shameless, and immediately started pulling orders online, providing Penguin with the most eye-catching advertising recommendation position on their Kingsoft Software company's portal website.
Seeing these two Internet colleagues and friends rushing to help him so "enthusiastically", Ma Huazhuo felt better than ever! Originally, these guys were all company bosses, showing off in front of him, which made him very envious. Fortunately, the situation has changed, and this time it is finally his turn to be in the limelight! ...
A week later, the "Little Penguin" instant messaging software launched by Penguin Company, which was promoted on many Longguo Internet portals, was officially opened for registration and officially operated.
On the first day of the launch of Little Penguin, many Internet users who received the news went to the Penguin company's portal website to download and install this novel little software. The number of people who registered and downloaded and installed it was beyond the expectations of the Penguin company's operating staff. After reporting to Ma Huazhuo, they quickly invested in adding three sets of servers to ensure the normal operation of Little Penguin.
The next day, the 24-hour registration data was counted, and the extremely high number of 56,000 people made Ma Huazhuo and other company personnel very excited. Although they knew that this instant messaging software would attract a large number of users, they never expected that the data would explode so much on the first day of its launch. You have to know that the industry peers like NetEase, which provides free email systems, did not have such exaggerated data in a month. This time, Penguin Company is going to be a hit!
Faced with such a booming event, Ma Huazhuo remained calm. He suppressed his joy and told the operation and maintenance team to keep an eye on the server and report any problems to him immediately. In addition, to ensure the normal operation of the server, he also contacted the finance department and asked them to add more server equipment directly and report to him later.
The popularity of Little Penguin has made him more excited about the two subsequent games that will be launched, but it has also brought him considerable pressure.
After all, Penguin, which is still in its early stages, is not well staffed. It would be difficult to solve the problem in a short period of time if it were to recruit new programmers. He had to think of a way to make it foolproof! …
Far across the ocean in America, at the headquarters of Goldman Sachs on Wall Street, Vice President Jacqueline Bernardo was in a very good mood at the moment.
