"Actually, there's something... I don't know if I should say it, it's about Huang He!" Li Dan licked his lips and said.
"Just say it."
"About a week ago, our front desk administrative specialist resigned. Because she left in a hurry, she didn't even want half a month's salary. There was no one to take over her job, so she directly handed over to me!"
"Why are you telling me this now?" Xiao Ma Ge frowned.
"At the time, I was very curious why she was resigning so urgently when she was doing fine. So I asked her, and she said she had let the company down, that she had caused the company to be like this, and that she couldn't bear to stay any longer, so she resigned!" Li Dan said.
"She harmed the company?" Zeng Qing, who was beside them, burst into laughter. "This woman is too self-important! She, a mere receptionist, how dare she think she has the ability to harm the company? How stupid!"
"Yes, I also thought it was quite stupid, so I asked her why she had such thoughts. Then she told me that about four months ago, a local tycoon came to our company and expressed his intention to buy our company's shares. He also said that as long as the company was handed over to him to manage, he would make Tengda the greatest network company in all of China... no, in all of China!"
"She thought it was a joke at the time, so she had a very bad attitude towards that local tycoon. She even said some unpleasant things, and finally sent that angry local tycoon away." Li Dan told the story very amusingly, but his expression was very serious.
"Li Dan, what exactly do you want to say?" Zeng Qing asked impatiently, while Xiao Ma Ge seemed to have remembered something, his expression changed drastically. Looking at Li Dan, he blurted out, "The local tycoon you're talking about, could it be Huang He?"
"It is this Huang He!" Li Dan nodded. "I later checked her work records for that day, and there was indeed a record of Huang He's visit, including some of the conversations. In fact, this receptionist was quite responsible, as evidenced by the fact that the conversations were all recorded."
"No way, are you saying that the boss behind oo, Huang He, once wanted to invest in our Tengda? You can't be mistaken, could it be two people with the same name?" Zeng Qing and Zhang Zhi Dong and others reacted at the same time.
"It can't be wrong. The receptionist also thought she had mistaken someone at first. Later, she watched a JDfT program and saw Leng Zhimeng's appearance. She recognized her immediately. This Leng Zhimeng was the girl who came with Huang He. She also remembered that this girl called Huang He 'brother-in-law'!" Li Dan said.
"Brother-in-law? This Leng Zhimeng is really Huang He's sister-in-law!" Everyone's mouths fell open simultaneously. Wow, they had stumbled upon a huge piece of gossip! And with the announcement of this news, many of their lingering mysteries were solved.
No wonder Leng Zhimeng, a high school student, could become the CEO. It turned out to be through her brother-in-law's connections, which made perfect sense.
But didn't Huang He run off with his sister-in-law?
Everyone's minds were constantly pondering the relationship between Huang He and his sister-in-law, and then they let out lewd laughter. But Xiao Ma Ge paid no attention to this; he was plunged into immense pain.
Li Dan hadn't mentioned it, but now that Li Dan had brought it up, Xiao Ma Ge remembered everything. In fact, it wasn't that the receptionist had been negligent towards Huang He. Because the receptionist had already informed him of Huang He's visit and his words, it was his own arrogance and prejudice that made him think Huang He was just a local tycoon and reject him without thinking.
Now, if oo's series of strategies were all orchestrated by Huang He, then he wasn't lying at the time. He was indeed someone who understood instant messaging software, understood customers, and also understood the internet very well.
And this guy had come with a large sum of money to invest.
Now, Xiao Ma Ge's heart was in turmoil, filled with regret. If he had met Huang He back then and sold him some of QQ's shares, then all the strategies and brilliant ideas in Huang He's mind would have belonged to QQ. Huang He would have wholeheartedly helped him operate QQ and also brought hundreds of millions of yuan to help him purchase servers, allowing QQ to develop even faster.
But now, Huang He had become his enemy, his most terrifying opponent.
Xiao Ma Ge could almost guess how angry Huang He must have been when he visited but was sent away by the receptionist without even getting to see him. Then all that anger was transformed into hatred. Huang He then took all the technology, funds, ideas, and creativity that he had originally intended to invest in QQ and started oo himself.
In other words, it was his own momentary lapse in judgment that led to the current situation.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ma Ge was filled with regret and despair.
"Boss, you don't need to think too much. There are no 'ifs' about what has already happened. Moreover, we still hold the advantage. Our users are still several times more numerous than oo's. As long as we handle it properly, oo is still no match for us!" At a crucial moment, Zhang Zhi Dong spoke up, finally helping Xiao Ma Ge to slightly break free from his terrible mood.
After all, he was one of the chosen ones of China in the 21st century. At most, he would be dejected and regretful, but he wouldn't be easily defeated. He quickly regained his fighting spirit.
"Zhi Dong, I want to ask, if we implement a traffic limit, restricting the traffic for QQ voice within the server's acceptable range, can you do it?" Xiao Ma Ge asked.
"No problem!" Zhang Zhi Dong replied without hesitation. "If it's just a simple traffic limit, it's simple. I can get it done in one night. But if we do that, I'm worried that users who can't use QQ voice will be very dissatisfied. We need a logic for the traffic limit, don't we?"
"That's simple, just charge for it!" Zeng Qing quickly said. "Foreign ICQ, and...
Besides, this is not the future era of free internet. Instead, paid network services are far more numerous than free network services. Charging is a very reasonable and legitimate thing, it just depends on whether Xiao Ma Ge approves it."
