Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1042: Adding Insult to Injury

Liang Lan looked at everyone: ”Think of another way! If we can solve it ourselves, let’s try to solve it ourselves! The young master has already provided us with all the data! If we can’t come up with a single idea, wouldn’t that be too incompetent?!”

Hearing Liang Lan’s words, everyone bowed their heads in shame.

It seemed to be the case.

Recently, they’ve been performing too incompetently, leaving all big and small matters to Young Master Bu. It’s really unworthy of such great benefits and compensation!

”How about we also talk to the three major operators for a cooperation? Even if we can’t come out ahead, at least we could draw even. In this way, the advantage we had with QQ would still remain!” Da Wa from the Lu Group thought and said.

Do you still remember the seven Calabash Brothers of the Lu Group, they are the seven CEOs!

”Yeah, give it a try. Da Wa, I’ll leave this matter to you.” Liang Lan nodded.

Although she didn’t think Lin Feng would leave such a big flaw, trying wouldn’t hurt.

”Also, we can increase the promotion efforts for QQ Space games to see if we can retain users!” Er Wa also suggested.

”Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you.” Liang Lan said, holding her forehead.

In the following session, although everyone proposed some suggestions,

these suggestions were merely expansions on the original ideas, without any substantial, good solutions.

So, after a meeting, there was hardly any progress.

Then, everyone left one after another to attend to their own tasks.

Only Liang Lan sat in her chair, showing a helpless expression.

Indeed, is she not qualified to contend with Lin Feng?!

With just one move, Lin Feng left her completely without a way out or any leads!

...

Lu Family.

Lu Xiaobu was lying on the sofa watching TV.

”Hey, Xiaobu, aren’t you worried at all?” Lu Hongbin found some time to ask while urgently stuffing his mouth with food at the dining table.

He had to quickly eat two bites, and after finish eating, he still had to discuss cooperation with the three major operators.

”I told you, there’s nothing to worry about, it’s just Feixin.” Lu Xiaobu said with a yawn.

”What’s Feixin?!” Lu Hongbin was taken aback, his eating motion stopping abruptly.

”Oh, I meant KK, KK!” Lu Xiaobu quickly corrected himself.

”You! You never worry about anything; things are already this critical, and you still say not to worry!” Lu Hongbin rolled his eyes and said, ”Forget it, I’m leaving!”

”Bye!” Lu Xiaobu took a deep breath as he watched Lu Hongbin’s back.

He almost let it slip!

To all the folks on Earth.

Are you familiar with this software, Feixin?!

Probably not many people are using it now!

However, back in those days, this software was very popular, with 500 million users, almost toppling QQ at the time!

The state of affairs back in those times is quite similar to now, with various communication software flourishing.

Feixin leveraged free SMS between mobile phones to dominate the competition!

However, it eventually failed.

The main issue was that it only offered such free services with mobile phones, while sending messages with the other two operators was still chargeable, at ten cents per text.

This narrow-minded approach, combined with other reasons, led to its eventual failure.

But now, Lin Feng’s methods are much harsher than those from Earth back then, directly dragging all three major operators into it.

In this way, trying to refer to Earth’s past methods would be a self-destructive path!

Of course, it’s not like there isn’t a way out, Lu Xiaobu thought of a perfect solution!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed; the solution is to usher in the 4G era!

Once the 4G era begins, all of Lin Feng’s tactics will be nothing but illusions!

So now, it’s just a matter of waiting for the system to come back!

But it’s worth mentioning, Lin Feng’s overarching perspective and dominance aren’t something ordinary individuals can match!

With one move, he managed to bind all three major operators, of course, this also has to do with the Lin Family’s influence.

However, outsiders are unaware of Lu Xiaobu’s massive ambition, dreaming of a complete overhaul.

They only know Lu Xiaobu and his Lu Group are undergoing an unprecedented disaster!

...

Lu Hongbin and Da Wa walked out of the Telecom Group looking slightly disheveled.

Although they were treated with courtesy, their cooperation proposal was rejected!

”What now, Mr. Lu? The operator cooperation plan is a dead end!” Da Wa said, somewhat irritated.

”There’s no way around it!” Lu Hongbin sighed, ”After all, they are cooperating with the Lin Family, and they aren’t wrong; they don’t need to create another competitor like QQ for themselves!”

They had approached all three major operators: Mobile, Unicom, and Telecom.

However, without exception, all politely declined cooperation with their Lu Group.

”Let’s see how others are progressing!” Da Wa, aware that Lu Hongbin had a point, sighed and said.

Just as he picked up his phone, his eyes widened instantly!

”This! Impossible?! Who?!” Da Wa angrily stared at his phone.

”What’s wrong?!” Lu Hongbin was puzzled.

”Our failed negotiation news has been leaked!” Da Wa said through gritted teeth.

”What?!” Lu Hongbin was shocked and quickly took out his phone for a look.

Indeed!

”Lu Group seeking cooperation; collectively rejected by the three major operators!”

”Is the era of Lu Xiaobu coming to an end?”

”Unprecedented major failure! The beginning of the end for the myth of Lu Xiaobu!”

”...”

Looking at the news headlines, Lu Hongbin’s hand veins bulged, and his phone creaked in his grip.

Who did this?! It’s ruthless!

The Lu Group was already at a disadvantage, and the spread of such news is undoubtedly adding insult to injury!

This was originally just a case of cooperation failure, but the news painted it as if the Lu Group was being shunned by the three major operators!

What are the three major operators?!

These are state-owned enterprises!

Being shunned by state-owned enterprises?!

Just listen to how vicious that sounds?!

Sure enough!

The comments below started boiling immediately!

”No way! Lu Xiaobu’s Lu Group was actually shunned?!”

”Does this mean even our Heavenly Dynasty’s officials think KK is better than QQ?!”

”It can’t be! I think it’s just a failed cooperation, that’s all!”

”What are you on about! Think about it, when has the Lu Group been shunned before? Now, with KK’s emergence, they’re refused cooperation. If that’s not being shunned, what is?!”

”Could it be like the news suggests, that Lu Group has really reached the end of its line?!”

”That’s not possible! It’s just a communication software, after all! Even if this doesn’t work out, it’s not as big a deal as you guys make it sound!”

”Don’t you know that even a thousand-mile dyke can be undermined by an ant’s nest?! This is a sign of decline!”

”...”
