618 There is no shame in surrendering to Master Lu (5k)
"Oh my god, how many more tricks does Penguin have?"
Fu Sheng and other senior executives fell into despair.
What makes people even more desperate is that Zhou Hongyi mysteriously disappeared.
I disappeared with many engineers for more than half a month. During this period, I couldn't get through the phone. Other than knowing that a secret weapon against penguins was under closed development, I knew nothing else.
Even the research and development location is kept strictly confidential internally and externally.
The entire company is leaderless, people are in panic, and morale has dropped to the lowest point due to repeated attacks on moral integrity.
"Mr. Fu, I can't do it anymore."
The senior executives were nervous, "Everyone is in a very negative mood. Many people have already resigned because they can't hold on. It's absolutely not possible to continue like this. We must let Mr. Zhou show up. At least let everyone know what is going on."
Research some secret weapon."
"Come with me to Huairou."
After much thought, Fu Sheng finally made up his mind and led a group of senior executives to a remote villa in Huairou.
"Why are you all here?"
Zhou Hongyi asked and found out that Penguin had another trump card.
tmd, it’s not over, right?
It is simply an endless arms race. As a weak party, in order to defend the basic user base, it can only be led by the nose. No matter how much money it spends, it must follow.
Product strength and technical strength are the biggest conspiracy!
"Mr. Zhou, what should we do?"
Fu Sheng was already at his wits' end.
"Don't panic, we have been working overtime these days and we have developed a secret weapon to deal with penguins, the bodyguard."
Zhou Hongyi said directly that this is a software that helps users monitor all the behaviors of penguins in the computer in the background of the system.
Its functions include but are not limited to protecting Penguin's privacy, preventing account theft, filtering ads, cleaning up garbage...
Even after installation, the user can directly link the safety button on the Penguin panel to the Button Bodyguard.
"Gulu, Mr. Zhou, is this the secret weapon?"
Fu Sheng swallowed his saliva.
"Yes, how is it?"
Zhou Hongyi laughed, "Lu Fei makes it difficult for me, and I will make it even harder for them!"
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
No, you won't have any friends if you do this.
Fu Sheng hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Zhou, you must not do this. This is tantamount to breaking up with Mr. Lu."
"Yes, blocking software ads and pop-up windows is something Mr. Lu cannot tolerate and will definitely make enemies of us."
"And it's a mortal enemy!"
"Mr. Lu and the others will definitely retaliate against us even more crazily."
"It's just asking for death."
The senior executives were frightened and tried to dissuade them one after another.
They just work for 360, and they don’t want to completely offend Mr. Lu because of 360, otherwise——
The Chinese Internet world has no choice but to mess around.
"What do you know? What I call life is risking death!" Zhou Hongyi frowned, "If you don't go all out to fight Lu Fei, you will die slowly. If you go all out and fight with Lu Fei, there is still a chance of survival. The worst outcome is nothing more than death. Why not?"
He looked around and said, "Besides, you think we are the only ones who hate it. Not to mention other areas of the Internet, just security software. Kingsoft, Jiangmin, and Rising don't hate this bully Lu Fei. As long as we start the first battle against Lu Fei,
One shot, there will definitely be a second shot, a third shot..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Mr. Zhou."
Fu Sheng was excited and advised: "Can the software be supplemented first? We can definitely use this secret weapon to negotiate with Mr. Lu, and both sides will make concessions. What do you think?"
Zhou Hongyi hesitated for a moment, and the executives around him were also trying to persuade him.
"There are two different things between not having a sword in your hand and having a sword and not using it." "It's better to fight with each other. At worst, fight after talking, and talk at the same time."...
Just say, "It is absolutely foolish to have a grudge against Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Zhou, you should know about Lu Fei."
Fu Sheng took out his cell phone and asked him to make the final decision.
Zhou Hongyi was angry and helpless when he saw that all the senior executives were leading the fight. I wanted to fight to the end. Why did Aiqing surrender?
However, he had to conform to people's hearts.
"Mr. Lu, it's me. Yes, I heard that you like fishing in the reservoir very much, right? Are you free to fish together recently?"
"Forget about fishing, let's watch the closing ceremony of Yanjing."
Lu Fei got out of bed, "I'll have someone give you the tickets."
"What makes you so happy?"
Seeing him shaking his head and laughing, Zeng Li was filled with curiosity.
"Oh, this Zhou Hongyi has finally hit the road."
Lu Fei sent a text message to Tao Yao and sent the tickets for the Olympic closing ceremony to 360 headquarters.
"That means you will definitely come to see the closing ceremony."
Zeng Li put on a blue and white sportswear.
"That's no need to say it."
Lu Fei noticed that the villa was not as noisy as usual, and asked in surprise: "Where are Xia Xia and the others?"
"I left Xia Xia to my mother and Xiao Yu took care of it. They are currently on vacation in the villa in Yanjiao." Zeng Li took off her makeup and changed back into her silk pajamas. "Aren't Yuanyuan, Hailu and I going to attend the closing ceremony?"
Have you sung it?"
"I will definitely watch you with binoculars then."
Lu Fei put his arm around her waist and asked, "What are you singing?"
"Yuanyuan and I sang "Guests from afar, Please Stay" with Liu Dehua and the others. Tiantian, Shishi and the others sang "Yanjing, Yanjing, I Love Yanjing." Zeng Li hummed a few lines impromptuly.
, and even said in a high-pitched voice, "What do you think?"
“Bubblingly beautiful.”
Lu Fei turned her over and faced each other.
"I'm talking about songs."
Zeng Li rolled her eyes charmingly and sang for him.
The voice is really good and very attractive.
Outside the window, fireworks were bright and firecrackers were blasting.
It crackled and kept ringing.
………………
August 24, 6pm.
The Bird's Nest has opened 6 security checkpoints, and there are long queues at each of them. The queues have reached the end of the line.
Fortunately, I was quick and was able to enter the venue before 8 o'clock.
When Lu Fei arrived at the designated seat, he saw that Zhou Hongyi had arrived earlier than him, holding a fan and fanning constantly to dissipate the heat.
Finally, I couldn't bear the heat anymore, so I asked the volunteer:
"I'm so thirsty, can you get me a glass of water?"
"Mr. Zhou, don't embarrass them. They are not allowed to get water. Hey, drink this." Lu Fei handed one of the two bottles of mineral water he bought from the venue to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Zhou Hongyi raised his neck and took a few gulps.
"Mr. Zhou wants to go fishing with me again and watch the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games with me. He must be looking for me for something."
Lu Fei raised his telescope and looked at the central field.
"Mr. Lu, I am a straightforward person and I won't talk in circles with you." Zhou Hongyi took a deep breath and said, "I hope the vicious competition between us can end. Let's work together to kill traditional anti-software giants like Kingsoft and Rising."
"Isn't it just for this reason that Huateng called you not long ago? You seemed to have rejected me, right?" Lu Fei did not put down the telescope, "Now you are talking to me about this matter?"
"This time, that time."
Zhou Hongyi is thick-skinned and does not blush, "I am completely considering the interests of both parties. The competition between our two families will only allow others to reap the benefits in vain. Enemies will be happy and relatives will suffer. Logically speaking, we are the same
Comrades in the camp."
Lu Fei waved his hand, "Not necessarily, right? The security software market is a life-and-death battlefield, but don't worry, we won't do anything wrong, and we won't let 360 be put to death."
"I don't agree with what Mr. Lu said."
Zhou Hongyi was quite unhappy, "The security software functions of our two companies are highly overlapping, and more and more users have given up on 360, and these users are all accumulated through our "free strategy" for several years. Now this is the case.
Wouldn't it be too cruel to lose it to you?"
"Is it perfect? How can Mr. Zhou do it so well!"
"I understand what you mean?"
"Is it because you don't understand, or is it because you don't understand on purpose?"
Lu Fei sneered. Speaking of overlapping functions, if I don't settle accounts with you, how dare you settle accounts with me?
Whenever Security Manager comes out with a new feature, Security Guard immediately follows up. U disk guard, desktop wallpapers, and game accelerators are all copied one after another, and they are all copied without a bottom line.
He smiled coldly, "This time Penguin offers an 'online shopping compensation' service, are you going to copy it?"
As long as Zhou Hongyi doesn’t feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. What is plagiarism? How can things on the Internet be considered plagiarism?
Then there were words that were difficult to understand, such as "sharing genes on the Internet", "all for the better service of users", and "if it is not code-level plagiarism, it is not considered plagiarism", which made Lu Fei laugh.
The surroundings are filled with happy air.
"I don't care whether it's plagiarism or borrowing, and I don't want to care. As long as it doesn't touch our core interests and can benefit users, we can accept some losses."
Lu Fei suppressed his smile, "But if you want to surpass us, you'd better work hard in this area. The reason why users abandon you and choose us is nothing more than our product strength and technical strength. Security guards should not just be followers of Security Butler."
."
"..."
Zhou Hongyi was speechless, after all, he was wrong.
But today he is not here to reason. He simply said that both sides should take a step back.
"Make Penguin give in?"
Lu Fei looked disdainful, what level are you, Zhou Hongyi?
You are not qualified to stand in front of me and tell me that from the perspective of strength and status, let us make compromises!
"Mr. Lu is right, but as it happens, we have just developed a new software called KouKou Bodyguard."
Zhou Hongyi is like a flat-headed brother, with a tough front.
"Mr. Zhou, are you sure you want to do this?"
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.
"Isn't this the product strength and technical strength that Mr. Lu mentioned? I think this software must have huge market potential."
Zhou Hongyi was not timid at all.
"I advise Mr. Zhou to think clearly. This software has the same nature as Coral QQ. They are both plug-ins and seriously damage our core interests. We will not sit idly by."
There was a hint of murderous intent in Lu Fei's words.
Do you want to test whether my sword is sharp?
"Mr. Lu, you can do whatever you say. You are really overbearing, but we can no longer control so much. We must keep the company alive. This software can be launched at any time now."
Zhou Hongyi is holding his neck, but my sword is not at a disadvantage!
"Okay, very good. I originally thought that the competition was about technology and service. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would do such a bottomless thing. So don't blame us."
Lu Fei directly showed his sword. First, he would file a lawsuit in the name of "damaging software and computer systems." The nature was like a coral polyps plug-in, and the author was filed and arrested.
"Okay, I'll stay with you until the end."
When Zhou Hongyi heard that he might have to wear a silver bracelet, his heart skipped a beat, his smile disappeared, and he squeezed out this sentence through his teeth.
"Secondly, we will install silently in the background. As for you..."
Lu Fei even made a difficult decision and threatened to resort to the Penguin's style of play in his previous life.
"Mr. Lu, are you being too domineering by doing this?!"
Zhou Hongyi swallowed his saliva and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
"Why, you are only allowed to be a rogue, but I am not allowed to be domineering?"
Lu Fei didn't feel angry and looked directly into his eyes, "Then I'll show you how domineering I am, without even having to show my face. I'm good friends with Bill Gates and Ballmer. Can you guess what the subsequent Microsoft system will be?"
After the update, will QQB or even your products still run normally?”
"you you……"
Zhou Hongyi suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
The evening breeze blows, cooling my heart from outside to inside!
"I also have a sword, but I don't use it because I have my own bottom line, but it's not something you can challenge!"
Lu Fei's face was frosty: "Let me tell you one more thing, do you think we didn't expect the software KouKou Bodyguard?"
A disdainful smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, "We have already had targeted protection. We only need a slight upgrade. The bodyguards will be invalidated immediately. What, you want to try it?"
"Mr. Lu, you must kill all Internet companies like us! Aren't you afraid of being looked down upon by your peers and netizens? You still deserve your positive image!"
Zhou Hongyi stood up in panic.
Putting aside the facts, Mr. Lu, are you right?
"In a company, if someone is doing face, someone has to be lining. If Mianzi treats someone to a cigarette, then lining will destroy the company. Guess who is the face and who is the lining between me and Huateng."
Lu Fei crossed his legs and looked at him with a playful look.
As the saying goes, save Mr. Lu who is in trouble! This is the benefit of being a substitute!
"..."
Zhou Hongyi was messy in the wind, his heart was in his throat, and it was so congested that he found it difficult to breathe.
"But I won't destroy you."
Lu Fei took out his cigarette case from his pocket and said, "I'm very particular about 'giving way' when doing business. For example, if I smoke now, no matter if there is someone sitting across from me who I don't know or not, I still have to 'give way', regardless of whether the other person knows him or not.
If you want to smoke, you have to accept the invitation, otherwise you will lose face." He handed him a cigarette and asked, "Would you like to take a few puffs?"
Zhou Hongyi tremblingly took the cigarette and sat down.
Sorry, Mr. Lu, I spoke too loudly just now!
"Hey, this is the attitude of someone who wants to negotiate a solution."
Lu Fei took the initiative to get angry.
"Mr. Lu, I don't understand why you want to directly enter so many areas of the Internet? You may be able to kill 10 of them, but there will always be people who will rise up and resist."
Zhou Hongyi was uneasy and took a few puffs to let the nicotine calm the panic in his heart. "360 is my lifelong career, and the security steward is just a hair of your business. Why can't we develop peacefully? As long as you agree to stop talking to each other.
If it’s not compatible, I guarantee that I will never go online as a bodyguard. This, this is not too much to ask for, right?”
"Yes, but there are conditions."
Lu Fei was familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he was able to surround three people but only one, which really drove Zhou Hongyi into a panic.
"You say, you say."
Zhou Hongyi took a long breath.
Lu Fei took a puff of cigarette and said that Penguin will not always enter various industries and will not have grudges with many Internet companies. Just like Xunlei and Kugou, Penguin also wants to invest in 360 and become the second largest shareholder. In this way,
360 can also be considered one of our own.
"I, I promise."
Zhou Hongyi gritted his teeth, knowing that he had become a big brother and that he would become his little brother, but he had to accept it.
"This is the first, second..."
Lu Fei asked him to apologize to Lu Huateng for his previous refusal to negotiate. After seeing that he reluctantly bowed his head and agreed, he said the most important third item: 360 was not allowed to go public in the United States.
"What!
Why!
"
Zhou Hongyi couldn't sit still and stood up all of a sudden.
"Look at you, you're in a hurry."
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed, explaining that Penguin was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Although Penguin Security Manager has a large number of users and strong technical capabilities, it cannot take into account the national information security. An Internet security company is needed to shoulder this heavy responsibility, and Dongfang Weidiankong
He has technology but is ignorant of business operations and business management.
Therefore, 360 has become the best choice.
"So you asked me to..."
Zhou Hongyi's eyes lit up, isn't this just a sign of recruitment?
"It's good if you understand."
Lu Fei pressed his hand down and motioned for him to sit down.
Zhou Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his seat with relief. As the "father of rogue software", he had always wanted to wash away his original sin and notoriety, so it was obviously best to recruit him.
360 can also usher in extraordinary opportunities!
But the only problem is, profitability.
You cannot prepare your own dry food, you must have a supply of food and grass.
"I have already thought of a way out for security software. It can be used to promote games, especially online games and web games. That is, anti-virus is free and channels are paid."
Lu Fei pointed out a clear path, which can be combined with Sogou, Hantang and other web games, or even cooperate with Pang Dongsheng, who has established a separate company from 51.com, who is building a web game and combined transport platform.
"Mr. Lu, aren't you afraid that when 360 develops, it will compete with Penguin Security Manager again?"
Zhou Hongyi smacked his lips and blew out smoke.
"Do you know?"
Lu Fei smiled and glanced.
What a pattern!
What a big picture!
No wonder Mr. Lu can make his career so big!
Zhou Hongyi was in awe and sincerely convinced, "Mr. Lu, can you give me some time to hold a meeting to discuss it?"
"No problem, don't worry about it for a while."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, "You can discuss the specific details with Hua Teng. Penguin is now in his charge."
Zhou Hongyi nodded respectfully, leaving the Bird's Nest directly and heading to the parking lot without paying attention to the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Fu Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time, took a look and immediately went to greet him.
Zhou Hongyi told the whole story about his conversation with Lu Fei, and then said with a wry smile: "If I had known this would happen, I should have approached him for financing in the A round."
"Mr. Zhou, it's not too late."
Fu Sheng immediately became anxious, why are he still hesitating?
Surrender! Surrender quickly!
Although surrender is shameful, it is very useful!
Not to mention surrendering to Master Lu!
What is surrender? Surrender or even surrender? This is called recruiting peace!
Zhou Hongyi corrected him immediately and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to hold any grudge at all."
"Yes, Mr. Lu is generous."
Fu Sheng smiled and got into the driver's seat of the car.
"I'm so convinced, I'm so impressed!"
Zhou Hongyi shook his head, "But those who want to do the Internet in the future will definitely encounter three unavoidable problems, life, death, and Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu may be more terrifying than death."
"Hey, at worst, I'll vote for you... I'll recruit you."
Fu Sheng turned the key, started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly drove along the road, smooth and smooth.
