Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 1066

July 8, August 16.

29 days.

Even within a month, Penguin once again launched a charge in the field of Internet security.

When Zhou Hongyi received the news, there was only one feeling in her heart, why was she so impatient?

Last month, Q Doctor 3.2 version was the same, this time the computer housekeeper can be said to be the same.

What's more, Jiangmin's anti-software has changed its face, and even directly announced that it is free. This is not without decision when traditional anti-software such as Kaspersky and Norton are still hesitant.

Jiangmin is still well-known in the field of anti-virus software, but this time, Penguin even gave up on this, and directly named it QQ, which is even more inevitable, and even the demeanor of a big company.

Zhou Hongyi received the company call at home, and after he put down the phone, he didn't get angry, instead he was very calm.

The situation is already very clear, Penguin has repeatedly used its traffic ultimate move, which is to put 360 to death.

Even though, 360 can still limit the competition to the product level just like last time, so what about next time?What about next time?

Penguin has at least tens of millions of users for one mandatory installation. How many times can this kind of market withstand erosion?

Zhou Hongyi seems to be a very popular person from the outside world, but he has liked the poet Li Yu since he was young. At this moment, the company called another executive meeting again, and a song by the queen master suddenly appeared in his heart. word.

"How much hate, I was in the dream last night. It's like the old days when you went to the garden, the cars were like flowing water, the horses were like dragons, and the flowers and the moon were in the spring breeze."

Zhou Hongyi was just about to walk out of the house with her bag in hand when she suddenly stopped and took out her cell phone to look for the number of the head of Penguin in the address book.

Give yourself a chance, and give the other party a chance, why do you have to fight to the death?

He called Ma Huateng.

"Hey, Mr. Ma, it's me. What do you mean?" Zhou Hongyi went straight to the point, "Your computer housekeeper is forcing installation. Is this trying to put 360 to death?"

When Ma Huateng heard the question from the competitor, he pondered for a while and then comforted him: "Mr. Zhou, Penguin will not put 360 to death, but the market belongs to everyone, and Penguin's safety must be done."

"Penguin can do it. 360 has no objection to your entry into this market, but everyone must compete fairly. Your mandatory installation must stop." Zhou Hongyi focused on the point.

Whether it is Jiangmin or Penguin, as long as there is no mandatory installation, 360 is not afraid.

Ma Huateng replied: "Mr. Zhou, Penguin's vision is to meet the needs of users."

Zhou Hongyi asked: "Is it that you must insist on compulsory installation?"

Ma Huateng remained silent.

"Okay." Zhou Hongyi hung up the phone.

Again and again, again and again, is it tolerable, which is unbearable?

Zhou Hongyi has brains, but has an unruly personality and has always been aggressive.

At this point in the matter, Ma Huateng refused to give up the coercion, and 360 had no way to retreat.

Penguin wants to attack, 360 wants to defend.

But the best defense is offense!

That night, Zhou Hongyi made a tragic announcement at the company's temporary meeting - 360 must fight back strongly, and will never sit still!

He personally made the decision, no longer restrained the strength of the counterattack, no longer restrained the means of counterattack, and faced a giant like Penguin, he had to find allies by all means.

Strategically, we must unite all forces that can be united. Penguin is not without rivals in the industry.

Tactically, it is necessary to show one's own seemingly forgotten means, and to attack them must be saved.

Zhou Hongyi confirmed these two points. On the one hand, he arranged for the vice president to contact potential allies in the industry. On the other hand, he selected technical personnel overnight and sent them to Huairou Villa to supplement the vitality of the closed development that was already underway.

After such an arrangement, it is necessary to establish an advantage in terms of public opinion, and to express its position and attitude in an all-round way.

Unlike last time when she carefully chose Zhihu, a relatively niche platform, Zhou Hongyi chose Weibo, a more communicative social media platform, this time.

However, because the matter is so important, he didn't think about how to attract attention for a while, and it was too late, so he will implement it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

……

360 and Penguin rekindled the war.

This news was immediately sent to the desk of the President Office of Hang Lung 23.

Fang Zhuo browsed the battle report while drinking tea.

Penguin's ability to adjust is very strong. This time, Jiangmin antivirus is directly attributed to the system, and functions such as "cloud antivirus" are also launched in the computer management home. Not to mention the real effect, at least it can bluff people.

The two mandatory installations within one month are all about a powerful flying brick.

There are one and two, and maybe three or four are ready.

From the perspective of Penguin's competition, 360 can only defend passively. Even if it still teaches users how to uninstall Goose software, how long can it last under the massive traffic?

In terms of companies, one has a market value of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars, and the other has just raised tens of millions of U.S. dollars. The strength and weakness of the two are too obvious.

No matter how you look at it, Penguin should win, but it depends on whether it is a big win, a medium win or a small win.

"Is there any news from Mr. Zhou?" Fang Zhuo put down the file and asked the secretary.

Liu Zonghonghui reported: "Not yet, 360 just reminded users how to uninstall it like last time."

Fang Zhuo thought about it, and asked again: "What do you think of the penguin's movement this time?"

Liu Zonghong hesitated for a few seconds, and said his feelings: "It seems that the monkey is a little anxious."

He didn't say the rest of the sentence. Could it be Yixin who knew that he was in the closed beta?

The next moment, he vetoed this idea again. If he had known, Penguin would probably not have taken this action. Yike and 360 are completely different in size.

Fang Zhuo let out a "hmm", guessing that the communication between himself and Pony took effect.

Penguin has always been wary of Yi Ke's communication, but confirming from himself, it may be a little more stressful, and many changes will naturally occur inside.

"Mr. Fang, do you think 360 will fight back more vigorously? I think they seem to have limited means." Liu Zonghong knew that the boss seemed to be waiting for this change in the competition, but he also speculated that 360 really had no chance of winning.

"It's about Mr. Zhou's subjective initiative again." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, "No matter what users say, Mr. Zhou is a very capable person."

The character background of the head of an enterprise often determines different directions at certain moments.

He knew Zhou Hongyi's personality, and the detail that best reflected his personality was a small incident in the 3Q battle. The time when 360 launched the Koukou Bodyguard was carefully chosen, and that day was Ma Huateng's birthday.

Koukou's bodyguard is very lethal, but I don't know if it will be seen again in this battle.

Fang Zhuo thought it might be possible.

In fact, everyone knows what Penguin cares about. Its communication field is the key point, and Mr. Zhou has no reason not to aim at this death point.

"Wait a little longer, we can take another look." Fang Zhuo was sure that there would be good things to come.

but……

Only one day later, he did not expect that the shot from Zhou Hongyi was actually this one.

On September 9, Zhou Hongyi, the head of 16, scolded the street on Weibo. In just 360 characters, there were extremely down-to-earth phrases such as "dog R's", which attracted a large number of netizens to watch.

Is there anything more noticeable than cursing?

Everyone on the road should stop and take a look when they come across someone who scolds the street, not to mention that this is the head of a well-known company shooting at another well-known giant.

Accompanied by Zhou Hongyi's bombardment, 360's official website released a complete proclamation, each word weeping blood, criticizing Penguin's past behavior angrily, which also caused widespread reprinting by the media.

It is not a hero to use the strong to bully the weak.

But Penguin's reaction was also quick. In the afternoon, the portal's official website released a resentful article titled "Father of Rogue Software Zhou Hongyi", which also recounted the past actions of this man.

On the one hand is the innovative giant, on the other is the rogue ancestor.

Penguin's two advances in the field of Internet security have attracted the attention of the industry. This time, with the help of Zhou Hongyi's unscrupulous cursing, allies on both sides have emerged one after another.

Lianzhong, 4399, etc. who were defeated by Penguin traffic in the past all stood up and spoke on Weibo, while 360's competitors such as Rising and Kaspersky also frothed with cynicism.

The battle of words between the two groups was very exciting.

Weibo did not limit the flow of these voices, allowing their eloquence to attract the audience to watch.

This quickly triggered a bigger battle of public opinion.

Qihoo 360 has made many enemies. Executives from Jinshan, Keniu, and Aoyou also did not miss this opportunity to criticize Zhou Hongyi for his past actions.

Penguin is not much better, it has a wide range of businesses, and this time there are competitors such as Kugou, Master Lu, UC, Xunlei and other more or less voices, which are aimed at the penguin micro innovation bombarded by Zhou Hongyi .

It is very rare to have such a wide range of public opinion and so many onlookers.

Even Fang Zhuo, who was watching the battle silently, couldn't help but show up on Weibo when he saw something exciting, posting a post with an eye expression: Wow!

It’s good that he didn’t show up. As soon as he showed up, Zhou Hongyi immediately reposted the news of the head of Yike and wrote: The promotion of 3721 really gave users a very bad impression. I admit what I have done. I would like to apologize to the vast number of users here, but I hope that everyone can discuss the matter. Is the mandatory installation of Penguin this time should be?

Later, he publicly shouted to the head of Penguin: Mr. Ma, please come out and respond.

However, Ma Huateng did not move, and 360's opponents surrounded him to continue to add strength to the popularity of public opinion.

Some people on Zhihu lamented that the furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but that Mr. Zhou is on Sina Weibo and Mr. Ma is on Penguin Weibo. Why don’t you invite both of you to Zhihu to debate classics?

From Zhou Hongyi's bombardment on September 9, the excitement of public opinion continued until September 16 without stopping.

With the attention of more paper media, 360 launched the "Privacy Protector" with the slogan of monitoring the background software of the computer and helping users find those software that secretly scan the privacy of the computer.

As soon as this protector came out, Penguin was on the list immediately.

In less than half a day, Penguin's response came as scheduled. First, it popped up a window to declare that it did not spy on privacy, and then encouraged Kaspersky and other traditional anti-software manufacturers to claim that 360 had a security loophole, and finally said that it would sue 360.

From public opinion to actual combat, the competition between the two has rapidly intensified.

And in the distant New York, USA, following a news that shocked the mobile phone circle, Nokia changed its CEO again and invited Microsoft executive Stephen Elop to take up this position. Yu Hong, the co-founder of Yike, signed a truce contract with Nokia on behalf of the company. , each other will grant patents to each other.

In addition, the contract also stipulated some small cooperation conditions between Yike and Nokia.

Fishing again during the day.
