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

179: Section 179“If we do that, our QQ will continue to reap the benefits.”

After Ma finished speaking, everyone in the conference room laughed.

“I also think our actions might have been too fast.”

“WeChat only launched its social functions two months ago, and we’ve already beaten it so badly it’s powerless to resist.”

“If only we had known, we should have played with WeChat a bit longer.”

Zheng Haidi’s voice also rang out from somewhere.

Ma also nodded.

“Actually, I did want to wait a bit longer before launching the social functions.”

“But I just couldn’t resist wanting to see WeChat’s frustrated expression.”

“After so many rounds fighting with Junzi Group, this time, it’s finally our turn to get some good revenge.”

After speaking, Ma looked at Ma Liuyun.

“Tell the marketing department to pay attention. If WeChat starts promoting to young user groups, don’t suppress or counter them. Just let WeChat attract more young user groups.”

“I’m afraid WeChat will be left with only a few million users later, and then Wang Mo will just give up. That would be so boring.”

Listening to Ma’s words, Ma Liuyun also smiled and nodded.

“I’ll tell the marketing department to keep an eye on it.”

“However, I think that now, after seeing such a drastic user loss, WeChat probably doesn’t even have the courage to continue promoting.”

After Ma Liuyun finished speaking, everyone continued to laugh.

But at this moment, listening to Ma Liuyun’s words, Li Wenqiu seemed to suddenly think of something.

“Oh, right, hearing you keep talking about WeChat’s promotion reminded me of something.”

“What is it?”

Ma looked at Li Wenqiu, and everyone else’s gaze in the conference room also rested on Li Wenqiu.

Li Wenqiu continued.

“I just found out this morning that over these past five days, WeChat’s market promotion and advertising targeting the middle-aged and elderly demographic have actually continued.”

“Logically speaking,”

“After we launched the social functions and disrupted their plans, their promotion in that market should have become meaningless.”

“After all, their promotion in the middle-aged and elderly market was to attract our attention, to prevent us from acting against WeChat’s newly launched features. But we’ve already acted, so why hasn’t WeChat stopped its promotion in that market?”

Listening to Li Wenqiu’s words, Ma also took a deep breath, his smile fading considerably.

“Now that you mention it,”

“It is indeed a bit strange.”

“Normally, once we launch social functions and draw users back, they would no longer have a reason to promote in another market.”

After Li Wenqiu finished speaking, Ma also began to ponder.

The other few people in the conference room also frowned slightly; they too found this issue strange.

Before this,

They had been focused on the growth of QQ’s daily active users and hadn’t noticed that WeChat’s large-scale promotion targeting the middle-aged and elderly market was still continuing over these past five days.

“Could it be,”

“That Wang Mo, after seeing that we didn’t fall for it and still had QQ launch social functions, just gave up on WeChat and started slacking off?”

Ma Liuyun’s voice rang out.

Listening to his words, Ma shook his head.

“Even if he gave up on WeChat, stopping large-scale promotion would still recoup some funds. Wang Mo has no reason to continue wasting money.”

“His promotion in the older user market truly has no meaning now, but why is WeChat’s promotion still continuing?”

Ma frowned, unable to understand.

And at this moment,

Li Wenqiu’s phone suddenly rang; he had received a message.

Looking at the message on his phone, Li Wenqiu’s face instantly changed drastically.

He sprang up from his chair with a whoosh, his face filled with horror.

“Ma, President Ma.”

“Just now, WeChat publicly announced its current daily active user count again.”

Hearing this, Ma was stunned for a moment.

“Announced again?”

“It’s only been a little over a week since they last announced WeChat’s daily active users.”

“Why has their frequency of announcing daily active user counts changed so quickly?”

“Could it be that they want the outside world to see how many users WeChat lost because of QQ’s actions?”

Ma looked at Li Wenqiu.

“How many daily active users does WeChat still have? Does it match our previous estimate, only around ten million?”

Li Wenqiu shook his head, his face pale.

Seeing this,

Ma was also a bit surprised.

“It’s not around ten million? Could it be twenty or thirty million?”

Hearing this, Li Wenqiu shook his head again.

“WeChat’s current daily active user count…”

“Is still one hundred million!”

As soon as these words came out,

Everyone in the conference room instantly froze in place.

Chapter 118: Ma’s Incomprehension, The Terrifying Aspect of Wang Mo

“No, impossible.”

“WeChat’s daily active user count absolutely cannot be that high!”

After hearing Li Wenqiu’s words, Ma was only stunned for a second before immediately speaking.

In his opinion,

After QQ launched its brand-new social functions, there was no way WeChat’s daily active users could still be that high.

Those QQ users who had left due to WeChat’s social functions would all return after QQ launched the same features. How could WeChat still have so many users?

It wasn’t just Ma.

At this moment, everyone else in the office had almost the same thoughts as Ma.

How could WeChat still have such high daily active users now?

One must know,

Their previous estimate for WeChat’s daily active users was only ten million.

But now,

WeChat claimed their daily active user count was ten times what Penguin had estimated!

How could this be?

Looking at everyone’s gazes, Li Wenqiu also slowly took a deep breath.

“I’m really not joking.”

“Just now,”

Li Wenqiu paused, his expression also not looking good.

“WeChat has published its latest daily active data on all major social platforms!”

“And that number is one hundred million!”

Listening to Li Wenqiu’s words, everyone’s faces turned even paler.
