Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

What do you like most about being in the media?

Of course it is news! Especially topics that break common sense are the most eye-catching.

When the announcement of "Huorong Security is permanently free" came out, the reporters present were excited. Daxia Internet's first completely free anti-virus software, this gimmick alone was enough for them to write press releases for several days.

But Gong Yu has a second announcement.

"The second announcement will be issued next."

Gong Yu and other media quieted down and continued: "At 7 pm on November 22, 2005, Xingxing, a well-known domestic anti-virus software manufacturer, modified its main product Xingxing anti-virus software and classified "Huo Rong Security" as a virus

Regarding the software, Modu Huoyun Technology Services Co., Ltd. strongly condemns it.”

"The "Huo Rong Security" released by our company has passed the 'Anti-Virus Program Certification' of the Internet Supervision Department of Shanghai. It is a legal and compliant anti-virus software and protection software. Our company has ignored the facts and trampled on national regulations wantonly for a certain star company.

"We strongly condemn the deliberate creation of public opinion turmoil, damage to Huorong's safety reputation, and attempts to profit through unfair competition."

"At the same time, our company warns a certain star company to immediately correct its mentality, stop in time, stop slandering "Huo Rong Safety", issue an apology statement to the public, and restore the reputation of Mr. Huo Rong and our company. Otherwise, our company will reserve the right to litigate according to law.

rights and use legal means to protect our company’s rights and interests.”

“Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”

As soon as Gong Yu finished his speech, the media raised their hands to ask questions, and many reporters had excited expressions on their faces.

This is a super bomb in the Internet circle!

Although the announcement only mentioned a certain company, who here didn’t know that it was Ruixing? It is currently the leading company in anti-virus software in China.

As a company that has only been registered for more than half a month, Huoyun not only announced that its excellent anti-virus software "Huorong Security" will be permanently free, but even directly declared war on the industry leader.

It can be predicted that there will be a contest between the two sides next.

"Ms. Gong, I am a reporter from Pearl Daily. I would like to ask if your company will still invest in R&D and operating costs after "Huo Rong Safety" becomes free? If you continue to invest but there is no return, how can the company maintain profitability and maintain its broad coverage?

What about users’ internet security?”

Gong Yu nodded and said: ""Huo Rong Security" uses the cloud anti-virus technology developed by Mr. Huo Rong. As the number of users increases, the operating costs will also increase significantly. According to the company's development strategy, "Huo Rong Security"

The revenue generated from the 365 navigation recommended to users by "Rong Safety" will be used for the research and development and operation of "Huo Rong Safety"."

"Our 365 navigation page leads the trend of web design, is more concise and efficient, and can bring users a more convenient Internet surfing experience. Of course, this recommendation is not to hijack the user's default homepage. If the user really doesn't like it, it can be

If you modify it yourself, "Huo Rong Safety" will not take the initiative to modify it back."

The reporter from Pig Factory Portal stood up and asked: "Ms. Gong, Huo Yun is just a newcomer in the industry. Facing an industry leader like Ruixing, are you confident in winning this lawsuit?"

Gong Yu immediately replied: "It is true that it is unwise for Huoyun to go against an established manufacturer like Xingxing Company not long after its establishment. However, we are doing the right thing, but Xingxing is

Doing the wrong thing.”

"Daxia is a country ruled by law, and all commercial activities should be conducted in accordance with the law. Just because you are an industry leader, you cannot unscrupulously trample on laws and regulations and distort business standards. We firmly believe that the country's judicial organs will be fair, impartial, and objective

Safeguard the interests of both parties and users of both parties.”

…

The press conference ended quickly, and all the reporters left with their money and money.

After Gong Yu returned to the company, the employees in the lobby immediately began to spontaneously applaud.

News on the Internet is one step ahead. A front-page headline titled "Big changes in the Internet anti-virus industry: "Huo Rong Security" announced to be permanently free" has appeared on the pig factory's portal.

The content is a bit superficial. It is just a record of the press conference. It should be to seize the opportunity. Gong Yu's announcement is copied exactly, which is also the result Huo Yun wants.

As long as the news breaks out on several major portals, there will soon be an upsurge of discussion on the Internet.

With heat, Huoyun can be invincible.

Gong Yu pressed his hands, and after the applause stopped, he said: "Next, the relevant technical staff of "Huo Rong Security" will work harder to ensure that the client download, cloud anti-virus service and homepage can all operate normally. At the same time, 365 Navigation's

The number of visits may surge, so preparations must be made in advance.”

After arranging the work, Gong Yu came to Wang Zheng's office. He was reading the news on the portal. When he saw Gong Yu entering the door, he smiled and said: "General Assistant Gong, you talked very well."

"That's why you gave me more confidence." Gong Yu said with a smile: "Next, I plan to submit "Huo Rong Safety" to several well-known foreign certification agencies. If I can obtain authoritative third-party certification, it will be

It will bring us a huge reputation.”

Of course Wang Zheng doesn't mind this aspect. It's hard to say what level Huorong's virus detection rate and malicious attack defense will be twenty years from now, but in 2005, it can be said that it has no rivals.

After all, the virus database also contains virus signatures and virus behavior databases for the next twenty years.

There is currently no domestic anti-virus software that has passed internationally renowned authoritative certifications such as AV-C, VB100, and ICSA.

Anti-virus software such as Ruixing, Antivirus, and Jiangmin are almost all old wine in new bottles. After occupying the market, they start to collect protection fees. They collect protection fees from rogues in the name of protecting users. It is simply a ridiculous thing in the world!

If "Huo Rong Security" can break through this gray area, it may be able to bring security technology back to the normal track.

"The number of users is growing rapidly, and the public opinion trend on the Internet is not bad." Wang Zheng pointed to the Huorong Tieba on the computer screen and said: "Not counting Ruixing, our next business will have to compete with a lot of opponents. No

My own platform for speaking out is very passive."

Gong Yu thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Are you planning to enter the SNS community?"

SNS is the collective name for social networking sites. Facebook of Midland, Qiandu Tieba in China, Renren and future bibs, Xiaocheng Book, etc. all belong to this type.

Wang Zheng shook his head and said: "It's not a good time for the SNS business yet. Our current main focus should be on "Huo Rong Security", 365 Navigation and Internet Cafe Management System business. The instant messaging business has not yet set up the airs, so we will do SNS business again.

Distracting."

Opening the homepage of 365 Navigation, Wang Zheng gestured to a small area on the right side with his mouse and said: "Make a news list here. Collect news content from major portals in real time, and display it in the form of hyperlinks and rankings.

here."

"After clicking on the news title, the navigation function of the homepage moves to the far left. The middle part displays the news content, and the comment area is below."

Gong Yu's eyes lit up and he said: "In this way, through the navigation page, we can let users see the news content we want them to see! What an idea!"

Wang Zheng nodded and added: "Not only that, through the comment function, 365 Navigation can also quietly accumulate users to prepare for SNS in the future."

"I understand. This function shouldn't be complicated. I'll go and communicate with the technical team."

Gong Yu admires Wang Zheng more and more. On the one hand, he understands the current situation of the company and knows which businesses should be done and which ones cannot be done for the time being. On the other hand, he has forward-looking vision and creativity, which can bring new vitality to the company.

There are really geniuses in this world!
