You Were Told to Design Software, But You Created Tiktok?!

21: Section 21”Yes.”

The person nodded.

”It is indeed not that easy to challenge an already mature software system.”

He was initially somewhat worried after learning that Douyin was going to do live streaming, after all, Douyin is currently the most popular software, bar none.

But after hearing what the general manager said, he relaxed.

Then, the person prepared to turn around and leave the general manager’s office.

And just then.

The Douyu general manager’s phone suddenly rang.

The caller was the boss of Douyu Group.

As soon as he answered the phone, the Douyu person in charge’s expression suddenly changed significantly.

It was a while before he slowly put down the phone.

”Boss, what’s wrong?”

The employee below asked.

The general manager took a deep breath.

”You should know that Douyu’s largest shareholder is Penguin Group, right?”

The employee nodded.

”I know, Penguin Group holds forty percent of Douyu’s shares, making them the largest shareholder.”

”Was the call just now related to Penguin Group?”

The general manager nodded.

”I just received news from the chairman.”

”Douyu has been fully acquired by Penguin.”

”From now on, we belong to Penguin Group.”

”And this acquisition was so fast, it seems to be related to Douyin.”

”It looks like.”

”Although we think Douyin’s live streaming isn’t a threat, it seems some people within Penguin don’t want Douyin to continue to go smoothly.”

Penguin Group.

Top floor.

Li Wenqiu’s steps slowly stopped in front of the chairman’s door.

A few minutes ago, he received news that Mr. Ma wanted to see him.

After tidying himself up, Li Wenqiu knocked on the door and walked in.

”Mr. Ma, I don’t know why you called me here.”

Sitting opposite Li Wenqiu was the true leader of Penguin Group, Mr. Ma.

”Do you have anything to say about Wei Kan’s matter?”

Listening to Mr. Ma’s words, Li Wenqiu quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

In order to compete with Douyin for the market, their Wei Kan department received several large budgets from Penguin Group, but the final result was unsatisfactory; Wei Kan was stepped on by Douyin at every turn.

In the half month since hip hop ended, Douyin’s users have truly surpassed Wei Kan, reaching twelve million users and still continuously increasing.

As for Wei Kan, due to Penguin’s internal reduction of the software’s budget, Wei Kan’s users have fallen back to eleven million.

And as time passes.

The gap between Wei Kan and Douyin will grow larger and larger.

Li Wenqiu felt that Mr. Ma calling him this time was definitely to hold him accountable.

”I am willing to take full responsibility for Wei Kan’s failure.”

”I did underestimate the capabilities of Douyin’s Big Data and Wang Mo’s vision.”

After Li Wenqiu finished speaking, Mr. Ma did not speak immediately.

Instead, he suddenly asked.

”Do you know about the news that Douyin is going to start live streaming recently?”

”I know about that.” Li Wenqiu nodded.

”In my opinion, Douyin is just being overly ambitious, wanting to grab a piece of the live streaming pie as soon as they get some users.”

”This so-called live streaming from Douyin won’t go very far.”

Upon hearing this.

Mr. Ma sneered.

”In your opinion.”

”In your opinion, Wei Kan would lose so badly?”

”I have always been paying attention to Douyin, and I believe that Douyin’s founder, Wang Mo, would not integrate live streaming into Douyin without reason.”

”Perhaps he has spotted another trend that we haven’t noticed.”

Mr. Ma was silent for a moment.

”Whatever his thoughts are, whether Douyin’s live streaming can truly become popular or not.”

”This time, we cannot lose again.”

Having said that.

Mr. Ma threw a document in front of Li Wenqiu.

”I have already acquired Douyu.”

”This time.”

”I want Douyin’s live streaming content to completely fail.”

Chapter 23: Feature Activation, Booming Live Stream Bullet Comments.

As time passed.

Soon came the day for Douyin’s live streaming room to officially unlock.

Now.

There were only a few minutes left until Douyin officially started live streaming.

Because Douyin has many active users, many people were indeed sitting in front of their phones, wanting to experience what it feels like to live stream on a mobile phone.

And within Wang Mo’s company.

Many employees were also busy preparing for the upcoming live streaming section.

Just then.

Zhang Fan suddenly pushed open the door to Wang Mo’s office.

”Boss.”

”Information just received.”

”Penguin has publicly announced the acquisition of Douyu, and...”

Zhang Fan’s expression was a bit unpleasant.

”Wei Kan has just launched a backend that directly connects to Douyu’s live streaming.”

Listening to Zhang Fan’s voice, Wang Mo nodded.

”I expected that.”

Zhang Fan, however, was visibly angry.

”Penguin is clearly targeting us.”

”They didn’t acquire it early or late, but precisely when our live streaming was about to launch.”

”And they even put Douyu’s live streaming backend in Wei Kan, allowing Wei Kan users to directly watch Douyu live streams.”

”I just logged into Wei Kan and saw that Wei Kan’s homepage is still directing traffic to Douyu.”

”Douyu is also preparing some activities these two days, constantly strengthening user stickiness.”

”After Wei Kan realized they couldn’t beat our Douyin, they’ve now lowered themselves to help Douyu block us.”

Because Zhang Fan had been busy with various details of the live streaming section’s launch these past two days, it was quite exhausting.

That’s why he was so angry after learning about the alliance between Penguin and Douyu.
