Chen Fan stared at the woman in the audience with a strange look in his eyes.
He recognized her immediately as the woman wearing sunglasses in the lobby when Ma Xiaoshuai returned to the building to open the business some time ago.
But I didn't expect to meet her here again.
This time, the woman did not wear sunglasses, and her whole face looked very delicate and heroic. Her long hair under the sports cap was tied into a high ponytail, which made her look very refreshing and heroic.
"Don't you have her membership information?"
"Damn it!"
The manager looked aside quickly, and soon two female employees in charge of registration at the front desk were called over with an A4 paper in their hands.
Chen Fan took it and took a look.
"Yang Juan, 27 years old, self-employed?"
Chen Fan frowned and shook his head. This information was obviously nonsense.
"Didn't you see her ID card when you registered?"
The manager looked to the side and saw two female employees with nervous expressions.
"I saw it. That was the name on the ID card she brought with her."
Chen Fan nodded.
"She used a fake ID."
"What do you mean? It's just a certificate. Does this woman have to use a fake certificate? What is she hiding?"
"Boss, do you want to ask someone to call her over to ask her?" the manager asked.
Chen Fan shook his head.
"No need. Since she has already paid for membership, let her continue."
"ah?"
The manager was surprised: "If she is allowed to continue the competition, the prize money for this event..."
Chen Fan smiled: "It doesn't matter. If she can take them all, that's her ability."
"Since we have set such competition rules, we must be able to play it well."
After saying that, Chen Fan turned around and walked outside, without any intention of going down to find out what was going on.
"Have someone keep an eye on it and pay attention to the safety of the venue to prevent any accidents."
"Also, if she really wins the championship, we'll ask our staff to see if she's willing to apply for a formal membership card."
"yes."
Seeing that Chen Fan had no intention of blaming him, the manager breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Fan didn't care too much about this woman.
And even if she took all the 600,000 bonuses from the project, the club could afford it.
Chen Fan didn't think much about it. He left the club after saying a few words.
Compared to this woman with strange behavior, Chen Fan has something more important to do.
Extraordinary technology.
Liang Shichu handed a document to Chen Fan.
"After nearly a year of price wars, many small antivirus software manufacturers could no longer bear the pressure and directly declared bankruptcy."
"As of this month, a total of 7 antivirus software manufacturers have gone bankrupt, leaving 6 remaining, which basically covers the top 6 antivirus software manufacturers in the country."
Liang Shichu handed another document to Chen Fan.
"This is the information we received last week. The remaining six vendors are ready to fight to the death. They plan to continue to lower prices and sell the software at one-tenth of the original price."
Liang Shichu walked over and sat down, looking a little irritated.
"This is clearly a tactic that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts ourselves by eight. These people are planning to burn their boats and drag us to death."
"Boss, should we continue to sell at a lower price like them, or should we not follow their lead and stick to selling at the original price?"
"If we sell it at the original price, our number of users will definitely be affected. I asked the company to calculate it, and I'm afraid it will have to be reduced by at least ten percentage points."
Chen Fan looked at the information of those companies on the paper and said calmly, "There are still six left. It seems that they can still hold on."
"But it's almost time."
"Um?"
Liang Shichu looked over with some doubt.
Chen Fan put down the information in his pocket and looked over.
"Do you remember what I told you when we first decided to launch VivaVirus?"
Liang Shichu was stunned for a moment, then blurted out as if he had thought of something.
“Free forever!”
"Boss, you're not really planning to make it free forever, are you?"
Liang Shichu was somewhat shocked.
"Although we are ready to burn our boats, our company's current situation and monthly profits show that there is absolutely no need to take this step."
"Even if we lose some of our customers, our profit from antivirus software is still a huge amount every month."
"If we just make it free forever, then we won't just lose a few tens of thousands, but tens of millions in profits..."
Liang Shichu wanted to continue to persuade Chen Fan.
Because he felt there was no need to take this step.
At present, both the installed base and sales data of Feifan Antivirus far exceed the total of several other companies.
They clearly have an advantage, but they suddenly implement a free policy.
Isn't this equivalent to throwing away a large amount of profits?
He believed that even if he trusted Chen Fan, other management of the company would definitely disagree after hearing the news.
It is really this move... that is too incomprehensible.
Chen Fan looked at Liang Shichu's excited expression and understood his mood at the moment.
But what Chen Fan was thinking was completely different from Liang Shichu.
When Chen Fan first launched Feifan Killer, his purpose was to implement a permanent free policy.
In the past two years, a lot of money has been earned from the fee-charging items, and Chen Fan feels that he has made a lot of money.
There is another reason why Chen Fan must promote the permanent free service. That is to intercept 360's Hu.
As far as he can remember, 360 launched Security Guard in his previous life in July 2006.
That means it’s been less than two months.
Even if Feifan Technology does not implement a free strategy, 360껩 will take this step sooner or later.
Consumers will only remember the first manufacturer that shouts the slogan "Forever Free".
As for the second, the first, the second or the first one...there is no difference.
What Chen Fan wants to do is to make Feifan Technology the first company to shout the slogan "Forever Free".
This is not just to gain a false reputation, but also to gain favor among the consumer group.
Don't underestimate consumer favorability.
Many companies have gone bankrupt because of a wrong decision that caused consumers to have a lower impression of them and lose all their goodwill, which led to their inability to recover.
However, Chen Fanzhi understood that if Feifan Technology were to give up such a large and stable profit point at this time, not only Liang Shichu, but also the people in the entire company would not understand.
So he spoke to Liang Shichu in a very understanding way.
"I'll announce this news at the meeting later."
Seeing that Liang Shichu still didn't understand, Chen Fan had to comfort him.
"Lao Liang, you need to take a longer-term view."
"The temporary retreat is to prepare for a greater victory later."
"I don't have time to continue playing price wars with these antivirus vendors."
"They want to surround and suppress us. Well, let's just overturn the table."
"Let go of the burden, and Feifan Technology will be able to climb higher peaks in the future."
Liang Shichu smiled bitterly.
"I don't see that you have such a far-sighted vision, but since you have already made the decision..."
“Then I support it!”
