my return 2002

Chapter 239 That's all you need

"As you expected, Zhou Hongyi really started to play tricks behind his back."

Just a week after the closed beta of [Zhengtu], Lei Jun came to Shen Lang's office with a serious expression.

"Oh? What trick did he do?" Shen Lang asked curiously.

Lei Jun picked up the mouse on Shen Lang's desk, clicked on the 360 ​​Safe Browser, and then entered a URL.

After the jump, Shen Lang understood what Zhou Hongyi was doing. Zhou Hongyi also made a navigation guide. The layout of the interface was almost the same as that of the 360 ​​browser, except that the website of the navigation guide was different.

Lei Jun said angrily: "That's not enough. I tried it. If a computer is installed with Kingsoft Internet Security, it will pop up a pop-up window, indicating that the user has not locked the home page of the address bar, and asking the user whether to use Qihoo Navigation. If the user chooses No, it will further prompt, declaring that the current address bar home page has loopholes and risks.”

Shen Lang couldn't help laughing, as expected of Zhou Hongyi, no matter what he did, he couldn't change this rascal's temper.

"You still have the heart to laugh, Zhou Hongyi is only doing navigation now, I guess the next step is to be a browser, with the traffic blessing of QQ, coupled with the diversion of the browser, Zhou Hongyi's ambition is not high. Small." Lei Jun stared at Shen Lang angrily and said.

Shen Lang signaled Lei Jun to sit down first. Of course he knew that Zhou Hongyi was not easy to deal with, but he just saw Zhou Hongyi's classic technique for a while, and felt a little joy for no reason.

"Since Zhou Hongyi doesn't talk about martial arts first, we can't blame us. In this way, you let 360 security guards also block Qihoo Navigator's address bar homepage. Once a user uses Qihoo Navigator, a pop-up window will show that there is a risk. Let's see who loses the most!" Shen Lang said seriously.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" The reason why Lei Jun reacted so strongly to this incident was actually more because Zhou Hongyi turned Kingsoft Antivirus into a rogue software disguised as an antivirus software. This is a blasphemy against Jinshan.

This kind of small function is easy to time, and soon 360 Security Guard has a built-in update. When some users use Qihoo Navigation, a dialog box prompting risks pops up immediately.

Sure enough, users were so frightened that they switched back to 360 navigation, and the browsing volume of Qihoo navigation, which had just improved, fell off a cliff.

Beijing, Qihoo Jinshan headquarters.

Zhou Hongyi is secretly proud of her "masterpiece". Network navigation is definitely a good project. Baidu spent 5000 million yuan last year, plus part of Baidu's equity acquisition of hao123. According to Baidu's stock price after listing, it is worth more than 1 million yuan.

According to his survey, 360 Navigator’s annual advertising revenue is as high as 3000 million. His requirements are not high. As long as Qihoo Navigator has half of 360 Navigator’s revenue, it is enough to support the company’s daily operations. In addition to the revenue from the game business, Even if no one invests, he can get very cool.

Moreover, the Qihoo browser is also under development, and it will be launched soon. At that time, I have another hole card against 360.

"Mr. Zhou, it's not good." Qi Xiangdong suddenly broke into the office, sweating profusely.

Zhou Hongyi's interest was interrupted, and he was a little impatient: "Say something slowly, you let the employees know like this, and you think our company is going to close down soon, what does it look like! You don't pay attention to the impact at all."

"My Mr. Zhou, don't teach me a lesson, something really happened!" Qi Xiangdong said with a bitter face.

After hearing Qi Xiangdong's words, Zhou Hongyi immediately jumped up from his chair.

"Go, go to the technical room!"

When he came to the technical room, Zhou Hongyi asked the background management staff to call up the data, and when he saw the result, he immediately stayed there.

Originally, after a week of accumulation, the number of users of Qihoo Navigator had already exceeded 50, but the result was that it was directly cut in half, and the number of new users had almost stagnated.

"Too much deception!" Zhou Hongyi gritted his teeth and slapped the table hard, then turned and returned to his office.

Qi Xiangdong followed behind, waiting for Zhou Hongyi to calm down before he dared to ask.

"Mr. Zhou, what should we do now?"

Zhou Hongyi was depressed to find that he really didn't seem to have any good solution, Shen Lang had much more cards than him, and he had no chance of winning by purely commercial means.

After contemplating for a moment, Zhou Hongyi took out his phone and found Brother Ma's number.

"Hey, Mr. Ma, it's me. This is how it happened. I want to open a QQ log to expose this incident. I hope Mr. Ma can give some traffic support."

On the phone, Zhou Hongyi portrayed himself as a completely innocent victim, a vulnerable group, without mentioning that he was the first to provoke.

"Oh, it's all in the same circle. There's no need to make such a fuss. Of course, I welcome the opening of the QQ log. I believe that with Mr. Zhou's influence, he will definitely gain the attention of many fans."

Brother Xiao Ma's words seemed to be trying to persuade a fight, but in fact he was telling Zhou Hongyi: If you do what you want, the traffic will definitely be given, but I don't know, so don't get involved with me.

Zhou Hongyi understood it, hung up the phone, logged into the QQ log, and began to write her own "Warning for Shen".

Seeing this, Qi Xiangdong said with some concern: "Mr. Zhou, if this matter really gets into trouble, we won't take it for granted, and it won't cause any substantial loss to Shen Lang. Should we think about it again?"

Zhou Hongyi smiled proudly: "You don't understand that, 360 Security Guard now has much more users than us, in the eyes of users, they are the powerful, we are the weak, ordinary people have always sympathized with the weak of."

"Even if you can't make 360 ​​bad, if things get serious, it's a free publicity for Kingsoft Internet Security. Why don't you seize such a good opportunity?"

Qi Xiangdong looked at Zhou Hongyi like a high mountain: "I see, Mr. Zhou, tall, really tall!"

"Okay, stop sycophanting, let Kingsoft Drugmaster cancel the previous navigation pop-up window."

"I'm going right now."

On the other side, the Penguin headquarters.

Zhang Zhidong said with some concern: "Is it wrong to do this? Zhou Hongyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, just in case"

Brother Xiao Ma waved his hand nonchalantly: "We didn't face Shen Lang directly, what are we afraid of? What's the matter? It was Zhou Hongyi who charged in front, and he died if he died. It has nothing to do with us. He wants to open the QQ log. As an ordinary user, QQ can't refuse him, right?"

"You still have a lot of bad ideas!" Zhang Zhidong scolded with a smile.

Brother Xiaoma suddenly sighed: "To be honest, I really hope that Zhou Hongyi can kill the 360 ​​security guards. This is equivalent to cutting off Shen Lang's arm."

Zhang Zhidong said: "I think it's very difficult. Zhou Hongyi doesn't have a strategic vision. Even if he gains power for a while, it won't last long."

"Hey, Lao Zhang, tell me, if we take over Jinshan Drug Bully, what will we do?"

"That's unlikely, is it?"

"It's not impossible, but now is really not the time, let's wait and see."

That night, Zhou Hongyi published an eloquent article in the QQ log. I have to admit that Zhou Hongyi’s writing style is still acceptable. Throughout the article, he described himself as a weak, helpless and pitiful entrepreneur who was bullied by his peers. .

And the one who bullied him was naturally the 360 ​​security guard who has become the dominant player in the industry. Zhou Hongyi said that he just wanted to make a navigation website for users to surf the Internet.

In the end, he was sanctioned by 360 security guards because he touched 360 navigation, which has the same business, and a few screenshots are attached below.

At the end of the article, Zhou Hongyi made a conclusion. Shen Lang is a cancer in the Internet industry. In order to prevent the development of competitors, he will do everything possible. As long as it is related to his business, he will immediately use his resources to carry out all-round Suppress.

If this person is not eliminated, the Internet will never have peace!

I have to admit that Zhou Hongyi's article is very good, worthy of his master's degree. Some netizens who don't know him have expressed sympathy for his "encounter".

At the same time, he deeply hates Shen Lang's behavior of "bullying and dominating the market", especially some young entrepreneurs who had a lot of troubles during their start-ups, and many of them fell into trouble because they couldn't compete with their peers.

When I saw this article, I immediately substituted it, as if Shen Lang was the dragon with fangs and flames.

Soon, the article aroused great repercussions on the Internet. With the help of QQ, Zhou Hongyi's QQ friends almost couldn't be added, so he had to send a special employee to deal with it.

Some media also began to report on this incident. The speed and enthusiasm of the incident can only show that with the growing strength of the 360 ​​series products, it has begun to put pressure on Internet peers.

When Shen Lang saw the related report, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it was Lei Jun who called him to find out that Zhou Hongyi had played such a trick, and he was so angry that he almost smashed his laptop.

"This is what you found fault with first, so don't blame me!"

Soon, Shen Lang also wrote an article and published it on his YY diary, recounting the ins and outs of the incident, and also attached pictures.

Afterwards, Shen Lang wrote a paragraph at the end.

"I suddenly thought of a problem. As a public figure, if there is any unfavorable news, it will be quoted by the media immediately. Even if it is clarified, there will still be a lot of media who will pull it out after a while. Erased black dot."

"In order to avoid this kind of unjust injustice, I decided to fulfill Mr. Zhou. From now on, let Mr. Zhou feel what real suppression is. Please wait and see!"

"I know that seeing this, there will definitely be many people who want to persuade them: Be more magnanimous. I only have one sentence for this kind of people: Are you dead or not?"

"Someone stabbed me, and I'm still bleeding. Didn't the knife stab you? I also advise everyone, you must stay away from these people, because when it rains, be careful that he hurts you Got struck by lightning."

After clicking release, Shen Lang immediately drove back to the company, and at the same time called all project team managers to summon them to the company.

The entire first floor office was brightly lit.

In the conference room, Shen Lang spoke to everyone.

"You should have seen the log I posted, go, don't let people read our jokes!"

Everyone screamed and rushed out of the conference room.

The counterattack officially started.

At this time, Qihoo Jinshan headquarters in Beijing.

Zhou Hongyi looked at the diary published by Shen Lang and broke out in a cold sweat. He just wanted to hype it up, and Shen Lang was disgusted by the way. Who would have thought that this guy would not follow the routine at all.

You say you, just clarify it, if you can't fight online, why do you still have a desperate posture?
"Old Qi, tell me, this kid surnamed Shen can't be real?" Zhou Hongyi's voice trembled a little.

Qi Xiangdong was also a little confused, he had never seen such a business manager, he was wronged and did not try to clear himself up, but announced to the public: You said you hit you, then I will call you, there is no business like this ah!
"Why don't you ask President Ma for help?" Qi Xiangdong knew very well that with their strength, they couldn't confront Shen Lang head-on.

Zhou Hongyi regained his composure: "Yes, I'll call right away."

Pengcheng, Penguin Headquarters.

Brother Xiao Ma was already asleep, but Zhang Zhidong called him up. As soon as Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, he knew that the matter was serious, so he quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the company.

When he arrived at the company, Zhang Zhidong and a group of Penguin executives had arrived. The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressing, and the screens on the projector were constantly switching. It was all netizens discussing this matter in this forum, blog, and diary post.

"Ahem, so, no matter how this matter develops, we must not participate in it, and immediately remove the recommendation on the homepage of Zhou Hongyi's QQ log." Brother Ma took the lead in making the decision.

The executives nodded unanimously. They knew very well that although QQ is ahead of YY in the field of instant messaging, the advantage is actually not that great. If the 360 ​​series products are added, neither of the two parties can say who is stronger.

If there was a real fight, the result would be a loss for both sides. They had no reason to fight Shen Lang for Zhou Hongyi.

At this moment, Brother Xiaoma's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Zhou Hongyi, Brother Xiaoma turned the phone to silent. The phone kept vibrating on the conference table, but everyone's attention was attracted by the news on the Internet. No one cares who the call is from.

Almost at the same time, Sina, Sohu, Netease, Baidu, Ali... the bosses of almost all the top Internet companies were standing in front of their computers, watching the development of the situation.

Everyone knew that Zhou Hongyi would definitely not be able to handle Shen Lang, and they wanted to take a look at Shen Lang's reality through this incident.

The combat effectiveness of the 360-series product ecological chain will be revealed tonight.

As for ordinary netizens, many people were on Zhou Hongyi's side at the beginning. After all, sympathizing with the weak is a common feature of human beings. From the personal experience of some netizens, it can be basically concluded that Zhou Hongyi was indeed the one who took the lead.

If Shen Lang was just clarifying the facts, perhaps most netizens would choose to stand by him. However, Shen Lang didn't, he chose to fight.

This made many netizens side with Zhou Hongyi again, and many felt that Shen Lang was a little too domineering.

There were also some netizens who mocked Shen Lang and wanted to see his jokes. In their view, as long as Zhou Hongyi gritted his teeth and persisted, Shen Lang would have nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Shen Lang made a move.
