Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
Everyone immediately straightened their backs, because they all knew that Zhao Chen's next words could very well determine the future fate of the penguin.
This also determines the heights they will reach in the future.
Tencent has now become the leading player in the instant messaging field, and no one understands what this means better than they do.
If they continue on this momentum, they will become the dominant force in this field!
Most importantly, the future direction of the entire penguin is now in Zhao Chen's hands.
Despite his young age, Zhao Chen's technical skills and understanding of the internet impressed all the tech enthusiasts present.
Moreover, at this time, Zhao Chen did not resemble an eighteen-year-old boy at all. He was mature and steady, and sitting in the main seat, he created a great sense of pressure for everyone.
"Okay, next, I'll talk about a few small goals our company has set for this year."
"Next year will be a year of explosive growth for the Eastern Internet. Conservative estimates suggest that the number of Internet users across the country will reach more than eight million next year."
"This means that more people will use Penguin, more people will play the games we develop, and more people will use our web navigation."
"Therefore, we must safeguard these projects that have already established a solid foundation."
"Next, we need to conquer a few important areas."
"First, I will have several new online game development projects coming up. This is the easiest and fastest way to monetize in the future, and it will also be the content that Tencent will collaborate on in the future."
"Therefore, we must do it well!"
"Second, the search engine. I've already got the algorithm and framework ready, and I'll build a new team to manage this business."
"Third, computer antivirus. Viruses can appear as long as you go online, and every computer needs protection. Moreover, protecting your computer also benefits our own products."
“I come from this profession myself. I’m an expert in defense and also a good player on offense. So I understand the pros and cons even better.”
"If anyone has talent in this area, please introduce them to me. You are all experts in the industry, and you all have some connections."
"As long as you are talented, I am not afraid to spend money. Of course, I will also provide you with adequate compensation and will not let you suffer any losses."
"Fourth, online shopping. However, it's still in its initial stage, and I will try to find other partners to cooperate with. We already have some preliminary goals, and then the various departments will just need to work together well."
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
Goodness, they're only proficient in this part of instant messaging technology; they're really not that good at anything else.
Of course, programmers are interconnected; at worst, they can learn new skills and content.
In fact, those attending today's meeting included not only the original instant messaging staff from Tencent, but also the new online game operation and design talent recruited by Zhao Chen.
In some ways, Legends is now even more popular than Penguin.
After all, this should be the first online game that many netizens played in the traditional sense.
It will continue to thrive in the future.
Even in 2024, there's still that classic line, "If you're a brother, come and chop me up."
They just appear in different private outfits and in different ways.
Zhao Chen had also considered the relationship between the official server and the private server, but he would use some methods to ensure that the game would continue to be popular.
As for his other trump card, he plans to use it on another game with an extremely long lifespan, namely, A Chinese Odyssey, which Ding Sanshi has built a solid foundation for!
A Chinese Odyssey is arguably the most magical game in the history of online games.
The lifespan of various online games is generally around three to five years.
Games that can last this long are usually considered god-tier games.
The only games that can rival the lifespan of Fantasy Westward Journey are Legend of Mir and World of Warcraft.
Other games have mostly disappeared into history, or only gradually emerged later.
But regardless of whether those games are alive or dead, A Chinese Odyssey has been around since the year it was created.
Anyway, by the time Zhao Chen was reborn, the game had been around for over twenty years, and it still had a large player base. Even when a new server was opened, it was still packed with players.
That's truly impressive.
This game has directly helped Ding Sanshi maintain his position on the Oriental Rich List for a long time.
This shows just how incredibly lucrative this game is.
This even supported a large group of professional gamers and professional game merchants.
And now, Zhao Chen has snatched this classic game masterpiece from the market.
After all, the game's graphics and various source codes were not difficult for Zhao Chen at all.
The most important aspects are its user-friendly and relatable gameplay, as well as its extremely strong monetization capabilities.
However, Zhao Chen will take his time to plan these things.
Now, he was facing several large teams. There was a team from Tencent, a team from Legendary Games, and a team from a web navigation portal website.
Among them, the team behind Legendary Games is about to cash in, so they are the most ambitious and energetic.
The Penguin team is also very strong, but they are somewhat lacking in confidence because they don't know how to monetize their products.
As for web navigation, it should be the fastest way to monetize.
Because people are already asking them to advertise.
Zhao Chen has invested a lot of money, but has received very little in return.
Our only source of income right now is advertising revenue from website navigation sites.
Moreover, Zhao Chen is about to pull off something ruthless.
This will allow the website navigation site to immediately receive a sum of money.
However, Zhao Chen was not in a hurry.
After this series of tasks were assigned, the web navigation team and the Legendary Games team all withdrew.
Only the penguin side remained.
At this moment, Little Ma and his team were all looking at Zhao Chen expectantly:
"Brother, my dear brother, I really have to call you brother now."
"Now the other two brother teams have gradually started to monetize!"
"Didn't you say that we penguins will be able to monetize soon? But I really can't figure out where to monetize it..."
"Can you stop stringing me along? I really can't take it anymore, my hair is starting to fall out."
Seeing Little Ma's worried face, Zhao Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Chen was well aware of what was going on; wasn't it all about comparison?
After all, Zhao Chen had a lot of money supporting three teams, but the largest investment was in Tencent. Yet Tencent hadn't made a single penny back; it had become a money-devouring beast, and they were losing face.
It's true that you don't know the harm without comparison.
They all come from technical backgrounds, and they treat their products like their own children.
They don't want their children to be looked down upon, do they?
"Alright, look at your pathetic self! I told you, you penguins will be the top priority from now on, and will serve as the most important central link connecting all products."
"What else do you have to worry about? In the end, it's just about money, isn't it?"
"Don't worry, I'm the boss, I'm not short of money!"
