Yi Anguo's insightful advice made Ma Huateng realize the severity of the problem with their penguin software. If the era of mobile internet arrives and everyone abandons the PC-version of the penguin to chat on smartphones, but then the mobile version of the penguin loses out to Mobile Fetion and other mobile chat apps in competition, it would be a fatal issue for the entire penguin company.
The reason why the penguin company is strong is primarily due to its chat software, which firmly holds a dominant position among all social chat software or instant messaging software domestically.
Although the penguin's social chat software is free and doesn't directly generate profit, it captures massive user traffic.
That traffic translates into huge economic benefits; they can earn advertising revenue and drive traffic to the penguin company's games. Without the vast traffic from the penguin chat software, their games would not achieve unprecedented success.
