Another ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍announcement was posted on Feifan Technology's official website.

First, ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍congratulations on our company's products Feifan Antivirus and Feifan Security Guard reaching 85 million downloads and installations.

Second, ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍effective immediately, Feifan Security Guard is launching a gaming feature section, and we are now seeking partnerships with all game companies and studios.

This ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍news once again sparked heated discussions among internet users.

What ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍does 85 million installations mean?

It's worth noting that this was 2006, and in 2006 the total number of internet users nationwide was only 137 million, with broadband users just exceeding 100 million.

This means that Feifan Antivirus's user base reached a terrifying 85 percent.

And this number was still skyrocketing.

Less than three days after announcing the permanently free slogan, Feifan Antivirus's market share surged by nearly 20 percent.

These figures not only shocked the entire internet but also startled everyone within Feifan Technology.

The boss was truly remarkable.

With just one move, he escaped the encirclement of competitors and might even be able to eliminate all rivals at once, pushing them towards death.

As for Feifan Antivirus's competitors, they were left with only a deep sense of despair and helplessness.

Faced with Feifan Technology's "permanently free" slogan.

Several antivirus companies initially wanted to make a last-ditch struggle.

However, after holding out for less than a week, two companies couldn't withstand the pressure and announced free strategies for their antivirus software.

The remaining four companies held on for two more days before being forced to join the permanently free army.

There was no choice, their paying customers had almost all fled.

If they didn't go free at this point, they would truly be finished.

However, many people understood that this was just a death struggle.

Once joining the permanently free team.

If your antivirus software isn't as strong as Feifan Antivirus, and your security guard isn't as powerful as theirs.

Users naturally wouldn't choose you.

This was practically an open stratagem.

Unsolvable.

Feifan Technology killed the competition with just one permanently free strategy.

Another shock came from within Feifan Technology.

Since launching the gaming section, various game companies and studios began frantically calling to seek cooperation.

In less than 10 days, more than 20 game companies with nearly 100 games reached cooperation agreements with Feifan Technology.

Everyone wasn't stupid.

Feifan Antivirus's installation volume was there for all to see, now basically everyone using a computer would install Feifan Security Guard.

This was clearly an advertising effect.

In just 10 days, Feifan Technology received millions in advertising slot fees.

And the number of games seeking cooperation continued to increase.

It could be predicted that the advertising fees would continue to surge in the future.

Within a few months, the profits Feifan Technology lost on antivirus software would all be recovered through advertising fees.

At this point, within Feifan Technology, no one doubted boss Chen Fan's strategic vision anymore.

Afterward, media outlets reviewed the entire antivirus market's business warfare process.

They summarized Chen Fan, the boss of Feifan Technology's operations in eight characters.

Divine stroke, sword from the west.

......

Although great victory had been achieved currently, Chen Fan didn't dare to relax.

Worried that company employees might get carried away by victory, Chen Fan specially called for a management level meeting.

At the meeting, Chen Fan affirmed Feifan Technology's current achievements.

He also pointed out that many employees currently had developed a relaxed mindset.

"True. Our competitors have disappeared. But is it time to relax?"

Chen Fan knocked on the table.

"Everyone, as I've said before. Feifan Technology was never just an antivirus software company."

"Our target is the entire internet blue ocean. Don't become complacent and stop progressing just because we've achieved first place in the antivirus field."

"This only represents one of our staged victories, next, we still have a long way to go."

Chen Fan spoke with a serious expression, and the managers in the conference room didn't dare relax, each occasionally taking notes in their notebooks.

After correcting everyone's pleasure-seeking and relaxed thinking, when the meeting was ending, Chen Fan changed the topic.

"Of course, I'm not an unreasonable boss. Victory deserves celebration. What should be celebrated should be celebrated."

"Everyone has worked hard during this time, let Manager Liang find a time for the whole company to have a celebration dinner together, company expense."

Hearing this, the managers in the conference room finally showed knowing smiles.

"Also, let me tell everyone, this month's bonuses will be doubled."

Chen Fan had always been generous, achieving success he naturally wouldn't be stingy with his subordinates.

No amount of benefits could be as substantial as bonuses.

Sure enough, upon hearing about doubled bonuses, the conference room broke into applause.

After the meeting, Chen Fan kept Liang Shichu behind for a private chat in the manager's office.

Liang Shichu took out tea leaves and made a cup for Chen Fan, who stood by the window looking at the basic plants on the windowsill.

"Looks like you're like me, don't usually pay much attention to tending plants."

Liang Shichu was somewhat embarrassed, "Usually it's just the secretary coming occasionally to water them, I rarely tend to them."

He was a typical tech guy, spending most of his time busy working with employees, rarely having the leisure to care about these flowers and plants.

Chen Fan turned around, came over to sit down, and joked.

"Work is endless. Sometimes appropriate relaxation can make the brain more flexible."

"Plants can make people feel pleasant, I recently got some basic plants in my office too."

While Liang Shichu was still wondering about Chen Fan's purpose in bringing this up, the next second, Chen Fan suddenly changed topics.

"In the antivirus field, we can basically say we currently have no competitors domestically for now."

"Next, Feifan Technology can also turn its attention to the next research direction."

Hearing this, Liang Shichu immediately sat up straight, looking somewhat expectantly at Chen Fan.

"Does the boss have any good ideas?"

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

"Nothing for now. How about you? Have you thought about this?"

Liang Shichu smiled embarrassedly.

"I have thought about it, but currently several ideas aren't mature yet."

Chen Fan picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"There are no outsiders here anyway, let's hear them."

Liang Shichu pondered for two seconds, then smiled and spoke.

"My current thinking is this, I feel the company urgently needs a product that can directly bring revenue to the company."

"Especially after Feifan Antivirus announced permanently free, we should find a product that can directly replace Feifan Antivirus and become our company's profit point."

Chen Fan nodded, this line of thinking was correct.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"No concrete thoughts yet."

Chen Fan placed his palm on the table, his index finger rhythmically tapping the desktop.

"If you want to bring direct profit revenue, nothing brings money faster than games."

"In games, online games are undoubtedly the cash cow, just one hit game can definitely make big money."

"Think about NetEase, they came back to life through games."

Liang Shichu's eyes lit up, Chen Fan's thinking actually somewhat coincided with his own.
