238: Section 238

Penguin Group was directly pushed to the forefront of discussion, placed on a fire to be roasted.

Many other internet giants had even determined that this news was intentionally released by Penguin Group without confirmation to deceive people, and that Penguin Group must be held responsible for their losses.

In the following few days, Penguin Group received a large number of messages from other internet companies terminating their contracts.

All sorts of negative news and complaints were also swarming into Penguin Group, making the entire Penguin Group somewhat overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, Wang Mo, the mastermind behind all of this, was still quietly watching Penguin Group's good show.

Since you came to poach my people, I'll also make things difficult for you.

At this moment, even Pony himself began to doubt the authenticity of this information.

Chapter 166: Meituan Officially Announced, Everyone Breathed a Sigh of Relief!

When other internet companies in the outside world began to doubt the authenticity of this news, Pony also started to self-doubt.

After all, at first, Sun Qi only brought a simple proposal, and besides that, there was no other information about Meituan's official existence.

Even Sun Qi himself had never personally seen Meituan's development team before leaving Junzi Group.

Initially, Pony naturally believed Sun Qi's words very much.

But now, Meituan had not been announced for a long time, which made him lose patience.

Half a month after Meituan's information was leaked, at the Penguin Group Building, in Pony's office:

"Do you know how much loss this news will bring to our Penguin Group if it's false?"

"We have already invested tens of millions of funds, found the first batch of ground promotion teams, and are just waiting for the software to be launched."

"Our Penguin Group's highest-level engineers are all developing the Penguin Group Buying software."

"But now, there is a high possibility that this news is fake!"

Pony's hoarse voice kept ringing out.

At this time, his face was also extremely grim.

And listening to his words, Sun Qi, who was trembling beside him, also had a very pale face.

He swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but say, "Before this, Wang Mo did disclose Meituan's information at a high-level meeting."

"Before the development of every previous software, Wang Mo would disclose it at a high-level meeting."

"This time should be no exception."

Upon hearing this, Pony's brows furrowed even more.

"This time is no exception."

"Then why do you say Wang Mo still has no movement now?"

"In the past two days, other internet companies have successively had conflicts with Penguin because of this matter."

"Many contracts have also been directly terminated."

"Although Penguin has a large volume, in the vast ocean of the internet in Yan Country, it still needs to cooperate with other different internet companies to continue operating."

"If this time, due to your false information, Penguin Group falls out with other internet companies, the huge economic losses involved, ten of you wouldn't be able to compensate!"

Pony's spit was almost spraying onto Sun Qi's face.

At this moment, he really wanted to slap Sun Qi.

If Meituan truly didn't exist, then Penguin Group, which released the news, would indeed suffer huge losses.

After all, now, Ali Group has even started developing Ele.me and invested a lot of money in it.

If this news turns out to be false, Ali Group's investment will all go down the drain, and Old Ma will certainly be unhappy, which will lead to many thoughts about Penguin Group.

Not to mention now, it's not just Ali Group.

Instead, hundreds of internet companies are preparing to launch their own group buying and food delivery websites, and most of them have even entered the development stage.

Offending so many other internet companies at the same time, Pony felt it was very troublesome just thinking about it.

Not to mention now, due to the termination of contracts by many internet companies, they have already suffered no small losses.

Pony also began to regret why he didn't stay calm at the beginning and instead announced Meituan's existence so early.

Now he is in a difficult position.

However, now, he is completely powerless in this situation and can only wait for Junzi Group to announce the news itself.

And the later the information about Meituan is announced, the more termination notices Penguin Group will receive, and the greater the losses will be.

In the outside world, in addition to many other worried internet practitioners, many large companies that did not take action immediately began to feel fortunate.

Although they also highly trusted Wang Mo's vision, these companies were not in a hurry to take action, but instead waited for Junzi Group to announce the information.

Although they knew that developing software in advance could indeed give them a head start, if the news was false, then these people's losses would also be a head start.

There were even quite a few companies that planned to first observe the potential of others after they launched their software before making a decision.

And this kind of company, which had ideas about the group buying and food delivery fields but did not take action immediately, was actually the majority.

Ultimately, the scale of this "Hundred Group" war will far exceed everyone's imagination.

As time passed, everyone's attention, whether internet practitioners or users, was fixed on Junzi Group's information.

Time, under this nationwide scrutiny, passed for another three days.

During these three days, although there were rumors circulating in second and third-tier cities that many merchants had already received invitations to join Meituan, most people did not pay attention to this rumor due to the previous incident.

And on this day, on the eighteenth day after Meituan's information was leaked by Penguin Group, Junzi Group finally announced Meituan's existence.

And it was directly announced that Meituan would officially launch three days later!

As soon as this news came out, it instantly ignited the entire internet of Yan Country, and countless internet companies instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

This information at least proved that Wang Mo's vision indeed looked towards the blue ocean and a new trend of group buying and food delivery, which no one had ever set foot in before.
