Chapter 1072 Meet Again (4K)
The head of 360 returned to China in a low-key manner. The time was October 10th, which was the first working day after the National Day holiday.
This year, because of the merger of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays, a total of 8 days of holidays are given, and the longest holiday of the year, in addition to the topic of travel, the relay battle of 360, Penguin, and Yike really provides the greatest opportunity for the majority of netizens. fun.
According to a certain media, such a large-scale online fighting has never been seen before.
It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon when Zhou Hongyi arrived in Shanghai.
After 9 days, the situation has changed beyond recognition.
When Zhou Hongyi was sitting in the car heading to Hang Lung 23, looking at the metropolis through the car window, she still couldn't hide her complicated mood.
As a matter of course, he has been keeping a close eye on these days abroad. The fiercest competition among so-called Internet companies has been ceded to Penguin and Yike, and 360 seems to be... It seems to be forgotten.
Fortunately, the leader still cares about him, which is somewhat gratifying.
The plane landed smoothly, the car moved forward steadily, and the bustling city of Shanghai remained, all of which to a large extent calmed Zhou Hongyi's anxiety.
When he arrived at the President's Office of Hang Lung 23 and saw Mr. Fang standing up to welcome him, his last anxiety disappeared.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work. Is everything okay?" Fang Zhuo asked Zhou Hongyi with great concern when he saw Zhou Hongyi again.
"Very good, very good, everything is fine, especially seeing that the market value of Penguin has dropped by another 20 billion today, I feel that this struggle is not in vain." Zhou Hongyi is not very good at saying this kind of "concern" from Mr. Fang, But the face is still very touched.
Fang Zhuo asked Mr. Zhou to sit down, and sighed: "The last time I saw Mr. Zhou, I wanted to say that our Yike has a communication business arrangement, but no one thought that there would be such a bad emergency. Now, although there are twists and turns, the result is not bad.”
He continued emotionally: "Yesterday I was watching Roman's "John Christophe" at home, and I saw the sentence 'The real light is by no means a time without darkness, but a time that is never covered by darkness. The real Heroes are by no means never without humble sentiments, but never succumbed to humble sentiments’, and I immediately thought of Mr. Zhou.”
Zhou Hongyi actually liked this book quite a bit, but... this time meeting Mr. Fang, he always felt uncomfortable.
It may be that the aura here at Hang Lung 23 is not quite right.
The last time I came here, I almost encountered Waterloo, which I will never forget.
Zhou Hongyi sighed: "Boss Fang is absurd, how can I be called a hero."
Fang Zhuo didn't insist on exchanging pleasantries, and invited Mr. Zhou to drink tea.
Although Zhou Hongyi's decision to come back was a little less subjective, but he communicated with the company and the administration on the way here, and he was basically sure that there would be no major problems, so curiosity emerged in his heart.
He chatted briefly, and asked a question that many people are concerned about now: "Mr. Fang, I have read Yixin these days, and it has received rave reviews. I wonder how many users there are?"
"How can there be so many, most of them are watching the excitement." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "I really want to shout a few more words on Weibo, so that everyone don't just watch it, but I'm afraid that the penguins will see the weakness, so I can only remind you The company has increased its promotion.”
Zhou Hongyi laughed, and then asked again: "There must be 200 million users, right?"
"It's about the same. It just relies on the previous swarm, and then the growth rate slows down. The opponent is Penguin, and Yixin Company is independently operated. The pressure is already high, so I don't want to ask more." Fang Zhuo said solemnly, "Penguin's The basic market is very stable."
Zhou Hongyi's thoughts changed, and he estimated that the number of users would be 200 million, but there would be no more than 300 million.
In more than a week, this scale has been very impressive, and subsequent growth will have to compete with internal strength and bear the pressure of Penguin, operators, and other manufacturers.
A few days ago, NetEase joined in the fun and launched an instant messaging software called NetEase MSG, which is similar to Yixin and mainly focuses on acquaintance communication.
Although Penguin is silent now, it must be working overtime internally to develop competing products.
As for the carrier...
In the past few days since Yixin was launched, both the industry and the outside world have conducted analysis and research on it, and the characteristics of relying on the actual address book have become extremely obvious. Even Zhou Hongyi has been thinking about whether 360 can make a fuss about it in the past two days.
"The penguin really shouldn't be underestimated. What's new about it these days?" Zhou Hongyi asked.
Fang Zhuo just shook his head. He felt that the operator might have been provoked. Returning to the product level, Penguin still wants to maximize its own traffic, whether it is directly through QQ or a new product.
"Going to Gongxin this time..." Zhou Hongyi thought about it.
Fang Zhuo knew this person's concerns, and said affirmatively, "Don't worry, it's fine."
Upon hearing such a solid answer, Zhou Hongyi asked in a little surprise, "President Fang asked the leader?"
Fang Zhuo shook his head and said calmly, "No, I guess."
Zhou Hongyi: "..."
Good guess.
He felt that Fang was always joking, but when everyone came back, he would pull out for a walk if it was a mule or a horse.
Anyway, after the "Qingzi" took off with itself on board, it was all good news, and the 360 unloading caused by the previous choice of one or the other was slowly recovering.
Zhou Hongyi finally asked: "Mr. Fang, this attack on Penguin is the right time, place and people. Is Yi Ke confident?"
At the right time, when Penguin forcibly chooses one of the two, the location is favorable, Yixin is based on the hardware foundation, people are harmonious, and Penguin is ridiculed by the public opinion.
Fang Zhuo took a sip of water, hesitated a little, and then said: "Penguins should not be underestimated, how can we talk about confidence, we are just waiting for the giants to make mistakes."
Just as Zhou Hongyi was about to nod, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind. This time, Yi Ke, who took the opportunity to make a move, was like a cheetah scurrying out of a dense forest. When he saw the prey drinking water with his back on his back, Mr. Fang, who "waited for the giant to make a mistake", was right? Just the Penguin family?
For the king's forerunner, the guests and the host have a good time.
Zhou Hongyi declined Mr. Fang's dinner reception, and still borrowed the "Qingzi" to fly back to the capital, hoping to see his family today and deal with the company's affairs overnight.
Fang Zhuo actually had to leave tomorrow, and the departmental meeting was the day after tomorrow. He also wanted to take advantage of this trip to meet with people from China Unicom to see if he could make a breakthrough in this operator with a good cooperation.
However, when he arrived in Beijing the next day and contacted Wu Yunjun, the vice president of China Unicom, the other party was in Yangcheng, so the meeting time could only be postponed to after the industry information communication meeting.
In fact, after noticing the competition between 360 and Penguin, the relevant departments are investigating and starting to arrange measures. Whether it is a bodyguard or choosing one of the two, it is obviously contrary to the orderly competition that the industry should have.
However, when the two companies were preparing to communicate, the competition situation changed significantly. Koukou bodyguards and the second choice were eliminated by themselves, so the matter was not so urgent, and the department investigated for a few more days.
The software was taken off the shelf, compatible again, each apologizing...
Before the meeting started, the actions of 360 and Penguin seemed to have been intervened by an "invisible hand". Therefore, in addition to the parties involved, a third party was invited to this meeting. This "party" means that the market cannot see hands.
October 10, 11:[-] am.
The three families involved arrived at Wanshou Road, and there were not many people, that is to say, each of the three heads brought a senior executive.
Yi Ke and 360 arrived at the door of the meeting room together, and when they heard the footsteps coming from behind, they all looked back and saw that it was Penguin.
At this moment, Zhou Hongyi looked at Ma Huateng with anger, and Ma Huateng looked at Fang Zhuo with complicated eyes. Fang Zhuo... Fang Zhuo walked into the meeting room and shook hands with the leader.
There are not many people in the meeting room, but the level is not low.
Although this incident has subsided, it is indeed a major event in the Internet industry, and there must be a result after all.
Fang Zhuo came here this time as a real third party, a pure passerby through and through.
In fact, he felt that he shouldn't have come, and it wasn't that QQ was removed from the YMS software store.
The atmosphere in the conference room was not too severe. Although the leader had already done the investigation, he still gave both sides a chance to speak from their respective perspectives.
Fang Zhuo drank his tea and listened silently, thinking about his own Yixin. From now until the Spring Festival, he was still in a hurry to update Yixin’s products, and the company also wanted to see Penguin’s competition.
"Mr. Fang, Yike is a well-known company in the industry. What's your opinion on this matter?"
The leader asked for opinions after the two parties had finished speaking.
"Cough." Fang Zhuo said with some embarrassment, "Just now I heard Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ma were arguing. The question is, is this Koukou bodyguard cheating? I don't know the technology, so what should I say."
Even in this conference room, Zhou Hongyi and Ma Huateng couldn't hold back, and had a wave of interaction with each other.
"Mr. Fang doesn't understand, doesn't your company's technical team understand?" Ma Huateng asked lightly.
"It's like this, Mr. Ma, Yike doesn't do business with your two companies. Oh yes, if you want to talk about communication, I can also talk about it, but this cheat is not a cheat, and we don't study it." Fang Zhuo frowned.
Ma Huateng smiled: "Boss Fang, if you say that, it's meaningless."
Fang Zhuo raised his eyebrows, looked at Pony first, then at the leader and Mr. Zhou, and asked, "Then I have something interesting to say?"
Many people were refreshed.
Ma Huateng suddenly felt a little regretful, forget it, forget about what the product said.
"As an Internet person, I have been very sad recently." Fang Zhuo said sadly after getting permission, "Because I am not only a practitioner, but also an ordinary user."
"Just now, I heard Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ma talking about their companies. What is this problem, what is that problem, but no one starts from the user's point of view. Therefore, I also thank the leader for allowing me to represent the majority of users to participate in this meeting."
"In the past period of time, what did users see? It was a forced pop-up window, a forced upgrade, a forced scan, and a forced promotion."
"Did this phenomenon exist in the industry before?" Fang Zhuo asked himself, "Yes."
He frowned, and his tone became more serious: "However, I have never seen such a scale of unscrupulous coercion, it is simply appalling!"
"I have to say, from my point of view, when a company starts to show signs of monopoly in a certain market, the interests of users are no longer the first priority, and they are giving way to commercial interests."
"The industry is in chaos, it has become disorderly competition, users are hurt, and interests are damaged, but what about enterprises? Have they really benefited?"
"I think Mr. Ma can also get the answer from the public opinion this time. Is the company in the short term or long term?"
"Here, I want to focus on talking to Mr. Ma. I heard that Penguin's vision is to become the industry's water and coal. I heard that Penguin has internally proposed a strategic goal of being the top three in the industry in all important segments of the Internet. This is indeed true. Swallowing ten thousand miles like a tiger, but, I also heard that even Penguin's own employees are jokingly calling it..."
"Go all the way, so that other companies have no way to go."
Fang Zhuo stared at the head of the Penguin: "Po... Mr. Ma, this is not a good word, we entrepreneurs must be alert to such signals!"
Ma Huateng looked at each other lightly, and then avoided his eyes.
"Leaders, to be honest, I am very emotional sitting here today, because I have known Mr. Ma for a long time, and we have come from the stage of entrepreneurship. Now the so-called YBAT was also worthless at the beginning. I set up Yike for the first time. A sum of money was going to the TV station to record the program, and Penguin was not profitable at the time, so it was almost sold."
"It's not easy for YBAT to get to where it is today, and it's not easy for the Internet industry to develop to this day. I have simple industry feelings and want to see the Internet getting better and better."
Fang Zhuo was very emotional, and then looked at Pony again: "President Ma, what do you think?"
Ma Huateng thinks that as long as Mr. Fang thinks it will be fine.
Under the staring eyes in the conference room, he replied: "Well, Penguin must learn from this incident, strictly regulate behavior, maintain market order, respect user rights and interests, and jointly promote the healthy, stable and sustainable development of the Internet industry. "
Fang Zhuo sighed: "President Ma, you..."
He said Penguin, then looked at the head of 360, and raised his head: "And about 360..."
Everyone in the conference room paid attention, and Ma Huateng listened carefully to what Fang had to say about the other party involved.
"Mr. Zhou, you must also learn from your lessons, strictly regulate your behavior, maintain market order, respect user rights and interests, and jointly promote the healthy, stable, and sustainable development of the Internet industry." Fang Zhuo has always had a good memory, quoting Pony.
Zhou Hongyi followed the good advice, should, should, Mr. Fang was right, and Mr. Ma was right.
The meeting continued to move forward. In view of the independent measures and positive attitudes of the two companies, we first determined that the two companies should issue a joint statement together, sincerely apologize to users, and promise to resolutely put an end to similar behaviors.
Subsequently, further research will be conducted on the punishment measures of the two companies.
This matter needs to be notified, although in fact it seems to be over, it still needs to be marked by a notification.
The meeting lasted until noon.
Ma Huateng got up to bid farewell to the leader. He didn't intend to greet the other two companies at all. When he got in the car, he only had a heartfelt feeling about meeting Fang Zhuo again: "Hurry up and let QQ go online!"
Fang Zhuo and Zhou Hongyi also bid farewell to the leader. However, Fang Zhuo was dragged by the familiar leader to chat for a few more words, and they talked more openly in private.
"They said that you became a firefighter this time. I think you fight fire with fire, and fight fire with fire."
"I'm so full of mouth that I can't tell. This size belongs to one size." Fang Zhuo was very helpless.
"I think your mouth is enough, so you just nodded at Mr. Ma and said, his face has changed."
Fang Zhuo shook his head: "It's okay, buddies."
The leader smiled and turned to leave.
"Hey, leader, just came today. Let me talk about our communication software and report to the leader." Fang Zhuo followed a step and said as he walked, "The Yixin we built also wants to promote the development of the industry. compete."
"Let's make a report and hand it over. It's time for dinner. Will Mr. Fang come to the cafeteria?" The leader said with a smile, "Just don't mess around with software."
Fang Zhuo hesitated, what is recklessness?
I'll talk to the leader first today, and after talking about it, it shouldn't be considered a mess.
