84: Section 84

“I don't think we can wait. We should go find them now and make them breach their contracts.”

“You're all wrong. We should attack Pinduoduo's home turf and fully target the Lower-Tier Market.”

“What do you know? Sending Red Envelopes is the best solution! I suggest Taobao immediately send Red Envelopes to users!”

Countless arguments erupted, with everyone having their own ideas.

Looking at the crowd that had already started arguing, Old Ma looked helpless.

“All of you, shut up!”

At Old Ma's angry shout, everyone quieted down, their gazes all turning to him.

Old Ma sighed softly and shook his head.

“Accept reality.”

“We can no longer surpass Pinduoduo.”

Listening to Old Ma's words, the entire office fell silent.

Everyone's expressions were a bit grim.

“Mr. Ma,”

The Taobao Manager slowly began.

“Is there really nothing we can do?”

Old Ma nodded.

“Even as we speak, Taobao's user base is still declining, while Pinduoduo's user base is still growing.”

“Now, whether it's user stickiness or anything else, Taobao is no longer Pinduoduo's opponent.”

“I can understand how you feel.”

“But I don't want you to hold onto unrealistic ideas.”

“Taobao truly lost this time.”

Old Ma paused.

“I don't know what you all think, but at least I'm convinced of our defeat.”

“The student has surpassed the master.”

After speaking,

Old Ma let out a long sigh and exhaled.

“You all should go back.”

“Don't waste meaningless funds launching any large-scale events; there's no need.”

“Taobao's situation can also serve as a warning to other departments within the group.”

“No matter when, never underestimate your opponents.”

Old Ma paused.

“I've invested too much energy in Taobao during this period. I need to rest for a while now.”

“I'm actually looking forward to what Wang Mo will do next.”

“I hope we still have a chance to compete.”

As Old Ma's words fell, the other Taobao executives in the office, though still unwilling, slowly left Old Ma's office.

With Taobao's internal surrender,

This struggle in the online shopping sector also came to an end.

Next, the Junzi Group's target shifted back to the Penguin Group.

Penguin's dota mobile game development had reached its final stage.

And Wang Mo's development of Honor of Kings was about to begin.

.

A few days later,

Inside the Junzi Group.

Zhang Fan walked into Wang Mo's office holding a stack of documents.

“Boss, that person you mentioned is really hard to find.”

“I've been searching for so long, and I finally found his information.”

As he spoke, Zhang Fan handed the documents in his hand to Wang Mo.

Slowly opening the documents, Wang Mo murmured,

“You didn't get it wrong this time, did you? Are you sure it's the Zhou Qiang I'm looking for?”

Zhang Fan nodded.

“All the information matches; it's impossible to be wrong.”

During this time, Zhang Fan had been searching for the person Wang Mo mentioned.

However, because this person's name was quite common, it was difficult to locate him for a while.

Although at first,

Zhang Fan found many programmers with the same name as Zhou Qiang, but after Wang Mo confirmed, he found that these people were not the ones he was looking for.

So, it dragged on for quite some time.

Zhang Fan had only now found the real target.

After reviewing the information in the documents, Wang Mo slowly exhaled and nodded.

“It is indeed him.”

“I didn't expect this person to be in the Penguin Group's Software Technology Department, just a small employee who just got promoted to regular status.”

“No wonder he was so hard to find.”

In Wang Mo's previous life,

This Zhou Qiang was the lead programmer for Honor of Kings, holding a very high position and possessing strong abilities.

But he hadn't expected that,

In this world without Honor of Kings, this person was merely a newly regularized employee in the software department.

It seemed that,

Due to different world developments, many people's fates were completely different.

The next second,

Wang Mo slowly put away the documents in his hand, looked up, and smiled at Zhang Fan.

“It seems that,”

“This time, we'll be poaching from Penguin.”

.

A week later,

Inside Penguin's Technology Department.

“You can't even handle such a small matter?”

“Out of the dozen or so employees in my team, you're the one I have the least faith in!”

“Don't think that just because you've become a regular employee, you can do whatever you want. I can still fire you anytime.”

“Next week, I'm being transferred to the Dota Mobile department. I was hoping to have a good mood for my last few days in the technology department, but you keep making stupid mistakes.”

In a corner of the technology department, the manager was verbally abusing a newly regularized employee.

In reality,

This employee hadn't done anything wrong; he was just a few minutes late in completing the assigned task, which had no impact whatsoever.

However, the manager directly insulted him in front of dozens of employees.

Facing the manager's scolding, he could only nod and bow, apologizing repeatedly.

Because he knew very well that,

His job was not easy to come by.

He had finally managed to get into a big company like Penguin, and he had finally succeeded in becoming a regular employee, so he naturally wasn't willing to give up easily.

And this scolding from the manager lasted for more than ten minutes.

Only when he was hoarse from yelling did the manager throw the documents in his hand at the man's face, then turn and leave.

“Reorganize this document for me. I want to see it on my desk tomorrow morning.”

Listening to the manager's voice, the man's expression became even uglier.
