"Selling accounts for a fee" caused Penguin to fall into a small storm.
At this moment, but not at that time, this penguin is still a cute baby, helpless to resist.
For two consecutive days, the storm of public opinion swept over Lu Huateng and Penguin. At the Pengcheng headquarters, located at the eye of the storm, customer service calls were made non-stop, all filled with sincere "greetings."
In the complaints received by CAO Chen Yidan, the most common word is the pinyin of his job title, fuck!
He and Xu Chenye couldn't bear it anymore and quickly called Lu Huateng and Zeng Liqing. The ringing echoed in the hotel room, making endless noise.
Lu Huateng woke up with a start. His hair was disheveled, his face was sallow, his eyes were dull and bloodshot. He had suffered from insomnia for two consecutive days and had no idea when he would fall asleep.
Zeng Liqing was not much better, so he hung up the phone and said, "Old Lu, take a shower and eat something."
"Oh, I can't eat. Who called me?" Lu Huateng said.
"One order." Zeng Liqing said, "He said whether the account sale can be canceled has seriously affected Penguin's reputation and reputation."
I can hardly live anymore, so why bother?
Lu Huateng sighed: "In order to survive, I can't control so much."
"The key is that we have a new competitor, and Feigou creates Feigou Wangwang."
"Feigouwangwang?"
"It's also a chat software, more fashionable and advanced than our QICQ." Zeng Liqing looked solemn, "That Mr. Lu seems to know better than us and is robbing our users."
Lu Huateng's heart skipped a beat, "We can also learn from him and make a brand new QICQ like him."
Zeng Liqing spread his hands. The problem is money!
"We only have more than 600,000 yuan left in our finances, which can last until the end of the month at most. At that time, we will have to find someone to borrow money to last until the end of the year."
Money, in the end, is still money.
Lu Huateng lowered his head and felt frustrated. This trip to Yanjing was in vain. He didn't get a penny of financing, and he was completely rejected. Even the previous investors ignored him.
The Yingke Electronics store is too big and the debt is too high. Li Zekai can't even take care of it. IDG is also selling it everywhere and transferring it at a low price.
No one would eat this penguin after it was stewed.
"This is not the worst, there are worse."
Zeng Liqing sighed deeply and handed over a fax.
"What's this?"
Lu Huateng took a closer look and saw that it was an arbitration judgment from the United States. It said that ICQ accused QICQ of infringement. In other words, Penguin Software can no longer be called QICQ in the future and must be renamed!
Adding insult to injury!
Lu Huateng broke through his defense instantly and his facial muscles twitched.
I was wrong, I was really wrong, I should not have engaged in QICQ from the beginning. If I had not engaged in QICQ, I would not have quit my job. If I had not quit my job, I would not have created such a trouble. company……

"Hey, what's the score?"
In the classroom, Han Yu stretched his neck and leaned towards Lu Fei. He saw test papers one after another with scores written in the upper right corner.
104 points in Chinese, 128 points in English, 171 points in liberal arts and sciences, and only 38 points in mathematics.
"Well, 442 points, what the hell?"
The students are used to their surprises. No matter how big the accident is, it is not surprising if it happens to a hot man in the corner.
Lu Fei smiled and flicked the test paper.
After several tests, the scores were quite stable, ranging from 440 to 460 points, which is already beyond the admission line for this year's second book. It is not a problem to pass the Chinese opera culture course.
"You always ask for leave and leave early, but you can still pass the exam like this. You don't secretly hire a tutor, do you?"
Han Yu couldn't believe it. He glanced at his scores in various subjects and studied day and night. His total score was only 67 points more than him, and he relied on mathematics.
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed, why did Fei waste so much money? He has many people from Shuimu Jingda University, and the last one is Tao Yao, who is also 211, and the average person is a question writer!
Outside the window, a ray of afterglow seeped in and fell on the messy carved table.
In the sunset, the two left school after school and turned into the alley on their bicycles. The cold wind blew on their faces like a knife.
Passing through an alley inadvertently, I saw a few arrogant gangsters forcing two girls against the wall in the dark alley.
"It's Er Bazi and the others, do you care?" Han Yu took out a folding umbrella from his bag, and the Umbrella God of War, Magic Red, appeared.
Lu Fei saw the girl wearing the uniform of No. 14 Middle School. He raised his legs to push off the support frame and walked straight over. He heard a high-pitched female voice:
"My dad is a police officer in this area, you dare me and my classmates to try it!"
"police?!"
The little ruffians were shocked and looked at each other.
The leading Erzizi grinned, "Hey, that's right. What a coincidence. I'm the most familiar with the police in this area, but I've never seen any police officer's daughter so pretty?"
However, before he could be proud, Lu Fei grabbed him by the neck and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Erzhizi. You go to the police station so diligently, do the police know you?"
"D-Brother Da Fei?"
The little ruffian suddenly became cautious and even more shocked than when he heard about the police. Obviously, he had never been punched by Lu Fei, a real bastard, before.
Lu Fei exerted his strength slightly, "You are so promising, you dare to bully the students in my school?"
The two scoundrels were excited, and when they saw the strength, they became weak. The arrogance of the group of little scoundrels just now disappeared, and they all shrank their heads, not daring to say a word.
"Get out!"
Lu Fei let go of his hand and raised his leg as if to kick her. The group of people scattered like birds and beasts, not caring about the beauty.
"A bastard is a bastard, you're a coward!" Han Yu shook his head disdainfully and spat.
"It's you!"
Yang Mi blinked and cast a look of gratitude and surprise.
Such a coincidence?
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at this young man with dyed and permed hair. "From now on, go home to the main road and avoid the alleys."
With that said, he turned around and left.
Yang Mi looked at their backs and suddenly woke up: "It's over, who is he? Did he forget to ask again?"
…………
"Who is she?" Han Yu asked as he pushed his bicycle.
"I don't know." Lu Fei said.
"Just go ahead." Han Yu rolled his eyes, "But I have to remind you, she seems to be wearing a junior high school uniform, so be careful of breaking the law."
"Fuck you."
Lu Fei smiled and cursed, and suddenly his cell phone buzzed in his pocket.
"Brother Hong, is something wrong?"
"Ahem, I heard that you recently wanted to acquire Penguin. Is this true?"
"Yes." Lu Fei said, "What's the matter? You want me to stop?"
"That's not the case. We at IDG are doing you a favor. Don't we have 20% of Penguin's equity? How about transferring it all to you?"
"Help me? Brother Hong, this is the opposite."
Lu Fei curled his lips, obviously your IDG fund is about to expire. Towards the end of the year, the report data needs to be better, so he has to cash out Penguin's shares to achieve a good rate of return.
Unfortunately, Penguin cannot be sold at all.
On the phone, Guo Yihong laughed awkwardly.
"Okay, I'll help you, and you'll help me." Lu Fei asked directly for the price.
"Not much, $2.2 million."
Guo Yihong spent US$1.1 million last year to acquire 20% of Penguin. This year he spent US$2.2 million, which is equivalent to one year, and the return rate is 100%. In the cold winter of the Internet, it is definitely eye-catching.
"With more than 2 million, why should I invest in my own Feigouwangwang?"
Lu Fei counterattacked without hesitation and paid back US$400,000, out of consideration for Guo Yihong and IDG.
"Brother Hong, you won't find a next home after passing through this village."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and there was a faint sound of discussion. It was obvious that other people in IDG were listening to the phone.
"Let's just compromise. Calculate it based on the valuation of 10 million, 20%, 2 million US dollars. Just treat it as a favor for me, how about it?"
"Of course I have to help!"
Lu Fei curled his lips, saying that this kind of help would help as much as possible.
Next year, that is, in 2001, South Africa's MIH will spend money to acquire shares in IDG and Yingke Electronics. 20% of the shares are worth US$12.6 million. Just cashing out can bring back a 530% return rate.
Only half a year!
He glanced at Han Yu next to him and said what his friend said in his previous life. The smile at the corner of his mouth became brighter, "But I have a condition, 2 million US dollars is fine, but of this money, you must allocate 3 million RMB to invest in me." milk tea."
Guo Yihong was confused, why did he still bring back the buckle?
"You don't know how to invest in the Internet now anyway, why not try my milk tea."
Lu Fei advised: "Brother Hong, this is just you. Ancestors like Carlyle want to invest, but I won't give you this chance!"
"Okay, okay, I'll discuss it with Xiaoge and Wang Shu."
