Rebirth: War on the Honest

"Mr. Gu, I have admired you for a long time. You are indeed young and promising."

At the venue, big names from all walks of life gathered. As soon as Gu Yun walked in, Zhou Hongyi, the president of Qihoo 360, took the initiative to come over and talk to him.

Gu Yun smiled and shook hands with Zhou Hongyi, exchanged polite compliments, and then found a seat to sit down.

In 2012, there were not many companies with the ability to run search engines, and the people present were basically the same small group of people who would become famous in the future.

Baidu, Instant Search, Pangu Search, Qihoo 360, Shanda, Sogou, Penguin, NetEase, Sina, Yisou, Yicha Wuxian, Zhongsou.

The last one to be added is Little Orange Book.

Gu Yun looked around and saw that there were indeed many of his future competitors here.

Damn it, before he even got acquainted with each other, he might have gotten into trouble with Baidu’s Boss Li and Penguin’s Boss Ma.

On the one hand, there is the online education industry on which he made his fortune. Baidu’s boss Li is working hard to catch up with huge traffic distribution channels.

On the other hand, there is the new product conceived by the Paradise Group - Paradise Cloud Music, which is a direct competitor to Penguin's QQ Music. Sooner or later, the two sides will have a head-to-head battle.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This domineering boss Zhou Hongyi, who first fought a 3Q war with Penguin and then launched a 300 war with Baidu, has had trouble with two giant Internet companies, and he is still alive and well. Gu Yun can't help but secretly feel embarrassed.

Respect.

Good brother, I have an appetite.

If it wants to flex its muscles in the Internet field, then the fate of 360 today may be the fate that Paradise Group cannot escape in the future.

The currently being screened "Life of Pi" tells the story of a boy named "Pi" who drifted at sea with a tiger for 227 days.

It was precisely because of the existence of the tiger that the boy had to stay alert at all times, and was finally able to persist on the vast sea for so long without collapsing.

To a certain extent, the companies that challenge later are like that tiger, so giant companies must always be vigilant and vigilant.

This relationship between the two parties will actually make each of them more motivated and energetic. For users, the product experience will only get better and better.

"Hello, all business representatives present."

Hu Qiheng, Chairman of the Internet Society, walked to the stage and spoke to the bosses present.

According to Chairman Hu, since the second half of 2012, in order to standardize Internet search engine services and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the Internet search engine industry, under the guidance of relevant departments, the Internet Society has taken the lead in organizing self-discipline work on Internet search engine services.

On the basis of organizing and conducting research, after repeated discussions and consultations, and after soliciting opinions from many parties, the National Internet Society organized industry experts and relevant enterprises to jointly study and formulate the "Internet Search Engine Service Self-Discipline Convention".

The content of the convention is nothing more than the same old stuff. Everyone must respect and protect intellectual property rights, respect legitimate rights and interests, and protect user privacy and personal information security.

The intervention of relevant departments and the signing of a convention are only part of it. The serious matter is to organize the elders to have a chat.

"Mr. Ma, congratulations. Judging from the current growth rate of WeChat users, Penguin will be unstoppable in the future."

When a group of senior executives sit together, they naturally want to talk about the future of the Internet.

Recently, the number of WeChat users has exceeded 300 million, which is undoubtedly an astonishing growth rate.

Penguin's boss, Jack Ma, took a sip of tea and smiled with satisfaction.

Among the many elders chatting and laughing, Gu Yun seemed a little out of place.

Although his wealth allows Gu Yun to reluctantly enter this circle, after all, Gu Yun seems too young among a group of middle-aged entrepreneurs who also started from scratch.

Different fields will naturally lead to different recognitions.

In the eyes of most Internet companies, although Gu Yun's Paradise Group can be considered a good product, its size and scale cannot keep up with those of you here.

"Mr. Ma, there are so many WeChat users, will it have an impact on the operators soon?"

Mr. Wang from Weibo was acting strangely. WeChat diverted a large number of Weibo users. This made the decision-making team very worried and they were already seeking cooperation with Alibaba Group.

"It doesn't matter. As the number of users increases, WeChat version 4.0 technology platform is ready to open all API interfaces to the outside world."

Majek looked confident in the face of the yin and yang.

WeChat is to Penguin in the mobile Internet era, just like Penguin in the Internet age.

With QQ, Tencent has opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. In the PC era, it dominated the world and dominated the world. In the mobile Internet era, the same is true for WeChat.

The sudden rise of Pinyuan Park relied entirely on the rapid growth of WeChat to accumulate users in the early stage.

Although the current Paradise Group is famous, it has not yet had a phenomenal product to prove to the world the innovation and foresight of its young leader.

Gu Yun is waiting for an opportunity.

Technology is developing rapidly, but current Internet speeds cannot keep up.

This year, my country's average Internet speed is still far behind the global average. Several first-tier and new first-tier cities have taken the lead in connecting to 4G, but third- and fourth-tier cities do not yet have such fast internet speeds.

The short video products that will be popular all over the world in the future have not yet been born.

During the "2012 Telecom World" hosted by the International Telecommunications Union in 2012, my country officially announced the spectrum planning plan for the first time, accelerating the process of domestic 4G mobile commercialization.

And when commercial mobile 4G is fully popularized across the country next year, it will be an era when various mobile apps will be spread everywhere, and innovation and entrepreneurship will flourish.

After the meeting, several acquaintances met to have dinner together, but for the young Gu Yun, the elders just politely left each other their contact information.

Gu Yun felt a little disappointed. There was no chance of cooperation between his own products and the big bosses. Instead, he was competing with giant Internet companies.

Thinking about it, this is indeed true. Xiaojushu is indeed a high-quality and unique product, but it cannot be compared with Weibo, which is at its peak.

As for online education, it has nothing to do with the elders present at the meeting.

Even Baidu boss Li, who sees it as a part-time job to test the waters, probably doesn’t think much of this career line.

The apparent boss of Pinyuan is Huang Zheng. Since it has not yet been listed, Gu Yun’s shareholding ratio has not yet been exposed, and none of the people attending the meeting knew it.

So in everyone's eyes, this young man Gu Yun has something, but not much.

After all, when you have no core competitiveness, how can others treat you as an equal?

On the 19th of that year, there was a general meeting in Beijing, and everyone stood there like a gangster.
