Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"When did you pretend to be a QQ doctor?"

"I'm not pretending!"

"Isn't that... ah, why are you still giving it away?"

Yin Yin sat on his lap and leaned forward, Yao Yuan also looked at the computer screen, only to see that after Doctor QQ was upgraded, another pop-up window suddenly popped up: "Give you a half-year trial of 'Norton Antivirus'!"

"What Norton Antivirus?"

"Why do you install it yourself?"

"Look, it's a good card now!"

"I'm going to delete it!"

Yinyin operated the mouse, and deleted Doctor QQ with a bang, and then cleaned up the computer with 360, running smoothly and smoothly without any hesitation, Yao Yuan was delighted to see it.

"why are you laughing?"

"This QQ doctor, I remember it should be a built-in tool of QQ, which is used to check and kill Trojan horses for account theft."

"What's the matter?"

"Now it suddenly becomes desktop software, and it's still mandatory."

Yao Yuan put his arms around her bulging waist and explained: "Most people don't use two anti-virus software at the same time. Doctor QQ forced the installation and even gave Norton anti-virus as a gift. It can be said that they have ulterior motives."

"Oh I see!"

Yin Yin was fascinated by it, and said: "QQ wants to enter the anti-virus software market, and 360 is the boss, QQ wants to do 360?"

"clever!"

Yao Yuan praised, and sighed: "My peers always say that 99 is a shit-stirring stick, but we don't take it all in. We have a foot in every field, and QQ is the real shit-stirring."

"Wait, let me think about it..."

Yinyin rationalized her thoughts and analyzed: "360 and QQ have huge user bases, if they fight, it's a matter of choice, and it depends on how users stand in line.

Generally speaking, it is easy to replace antivirus software, but it is difficult to replace social software, huh? "

She didn't know what to think of, her eyes widened suddenly, and she exaggeratedly said: "Wow!"

"Wow!"

Yao Yuan also widened his eyes and let out a cry.

"I suddenly feel so exciting!"

Yinyin rubbed her little hands excitedly: "I want to see them fight quickly! Fight!"

…………

Hainan.

Sunny beach, blue water and beautiful girls, Zhou Hongyi is lying on a bench, wearing sunglasses, enjoying the vacation time comfortably.

He graduated from Xi'an Jiaotong University and worked in Founder of Peking University in the early days. In the late 1990s, when the Internet was booming, he started his own business and started a "3721" Internet company.

3721!

Old netizens are all gnashing their teeth. This is probably the earliest rogue software in China.

The definition of rogue software is: you don’t know when it was installed, and you don’t know how to uninstall it. When you thought the uninstallation was successful, but when you restarted, hey, it came back again!

In 2003, Yahoo acquired 3721.

Zhou Hongyi worked in Yahoo China for 18 months and fulfilled the non-compete agreement. Because he had money, he became an investor and had a particularly good relationship with IDG.

Investment results include Xunlei, Discuz!, Kugou and so on.

In 2006, he founded Qihoo 360 and developed the famous 360 Security Guard. Up to now, 360 has covered 300 million users, financing is smooth, and it is preparing to go public.

"Why!"

At this moment, he took a sip of the carefully prepared cocktail, let out a breath, and smiled unconsciously on his face, which can be said to be proud of the spring breeze.

This road is not easy!

The anti-virus software market seems to be unpopular, but in fact it is closely related to every netizen. He is ruthless and flexible. He has killed Kingsoft Antivirus, Rising, Kaspersky, etc., before ascending to the leading position in the industry.

When it goes on the market, you will have money. 360 can't be confined to the security field, it needs to develop in many ways...

Zhou Hongyi raised his head and was thinking about the bright future when his cell phone rang suddenly. The ringtone seemed to be hurried and flustered. He answered it casually. It was Qi Xiangdong, the number two person in the company.

Qi Xiangdong is also very good. He was first the deputy director of the Communication Technology Bureau of Xinhua News Agency, and later served as the vice president of Yahoo China. He was under Zhou Hongyi at that time, and the two founded 360 together.

Zhou Hongyi is the chairman and Qi Xiangdong is the CEO.

"Old Zhou, something happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"QQ doctor suddenly upgraded, and started to install it forcibly!"

Zhou Hongyi immediately sat up. He understood what this meant so well that he didn't even ask, and said directly, "I'll go back right away. You call everyone back and start a meeting!"

After hanging up the phone, he immediately booked a ticket.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I hurriedly ended my vacation and flew back to the capital.

...

Beijing, 360 headquarters.

The atmosphere in the conference room was serious, Qi Xiangdong was already in place, and several company executives were also brought over from the Spring Festival holiday.

"What's going on now?"

Before the people arrived, the voice came first, and Zhou Hongyi strode into the door.

"QQ Doctor has installed at least 100 million computers, 40% of the market share!" Qi Xiangdong said.

"boom!"

Zhou Hongyi patted the table and gritted his teeth: "Sneak attack during the Spring Festival, 2 days! What the hell, it's only 2 days, it's not a thing!"

He was angry and aggrieved, because he had never thought of getting involved in the field of instant messaging, and he had praised Xiao Ma's stinky feet many times in public, but now you hit me? !

But at the moment, the most important thing is to deal with the problem.

Zhou Hongyi immediately led everyone to study the various functions of QQ Doctor. After looking at it, he found that the product of QQ Doctor is very immature, with poor experience and incomplete functions.

He breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, began to deploy offensive and defensive strategies, continued to promote the usefulness of 360 to users, and then taught users to uninstall QQ Doctor Yunyun.

This trick is pretty easy to use.

Although QQ Doctor was installed forcibly, users uninstalled it one after another. By the end of the Spring Festival, only 10% of the market share remained.

This sneak attack was declared a failure.

Zhou Hongyi had dealt with it, but he was faintly worried.

If QQ is determined to enter the security field market, upgrade and perfect the software, with the huge foundation of QQ, what will I do next time?

But there was no good way for a while, so soldiers had to come to cover the water and soil.

The surprise attack on QQ this time is only the beginning of the war. This year is an extremely exciting year in the history of the Internet in China, with many major events happening.

The most famous one is this "3Q War"!

Needless to say, the influence of this war is even called the last war in the PC era.

...

Yao Yuan wanted to tinker with many things, but he never thought about making antivirus software. One is that they don't understand, and the other is that as an ordinary netizen in their previous life, they didn't have any bad feelings towards 360.

No matter how much you complain about 360, it really solves the needs of many netizens: free, fool-like operation.

Yao Yuan spent the entire Spring Festival watching dramas.

The QQ lightning attack failed, but he knew that QQ would make a comeback in a few months, and that would be the climax of the war.

And what I have to do is to prepare, to step in and let everyone see who is the real shit-stirring stick... Ahh! Who is the real strategist.

(no more...)
