Before Qingyun found 361.

Zhou Hongyi once went to Pengcheng and found Tony Ma to make peace, saying that 361 could accept investment from Tenda. At the same time, he also had shares in some other Internet companies, such as Xunlei.

If Tony Ma is willing, Zhou Hongyi can help make the connection and assist Tengda in acquiring shares in order to build its own Internet ecosystem.

The word "ecosystem" has been very popular in 10, because the management of Qingyun Group always talks about the Qingyun ecosystem in public.

Another investor who suffered a loss at the hands of Qingyun, after returning to Yanjing, always mentioned the Lays ecosystem and boasted to various venture capitalists about Lays's future in the next five years.

We are going to create an internal ecosystem that integrates Internet hardware, entertainment media, cultural tourism, real estate finance and the Internet. To put it simply, we are going to make a simplified version of the Qingyun system.

You know what, the effect is quite good. At least with the help of Fake Medicine Stop's excellent eloquence and perfect PPT, investors from all walks of life flocked to the company, waving their money in an attempt to grab a ticket to get on the train.

Tenda has seen it all and kept it in mind. It would be a lie to say that it was not tempted. The problem is that in Tenda's future plans, there is no place for 361 in the computer anti-virus software business.

As for Thunder?

Sorry, I really don’t think much of Tenda. It’s just a small tool for decompressing downloads, and it’s not worth investing too much energy in.

Xu Chenye went north to meet with Yu Huatian from the coarse grain factory to discuss cooperation. It was Kingsoft, another domestic antivirus software company, that acted as a middleman, as Tenda could not beat 361 in terms of technology.

It does not prevent it from having money and connections, and it can win over allies all over the world. QQ and Kingsoft, the two major listed groups, have jointly challenged 361 with their latest launched QQ Butler.

In terms of technology, it is almost the same as 361. There is almost no difference between the two products from appearance to core. If nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time before 361 is defeated.

Everyone in Kingsoft can finally hold their heads high. No matter how great you are, Lao Zhou, you forced users to choose between 361 and Kingsoft. Now you know you were wrong, right?

People floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not get a knife.

Zhou Hongyi was chopped so hard that sparks were coming out of his body and he was dizzy. He could no longer sit still and was determined to find a big boss to come forward and solve the problem. He once again turned his attention to Mo Du and Qian Tang.

"Should we apologize to Jack Ma with a sincere attitude? Maybe Ali will come out to help us and stabilize the situation."

In the period when there is no giant to confront it, 361 has a really hard time.

For the first time, people across the country saw what it meant that the end of the Internet was Tenda.

If you log in to QQ and QQ Butler at the same time, your QQ level can be doubled.

Download QQ Manager to uninstall 361 and you can get game props for free; antivirus software companies such as Kingsoft and Rising also took the opportunity to announce that their products will be free for one year.

In short, all the companies involved in this war are trying their best to ruthlessly tear off a piece of meat from 361.

Just one week after October 10, Zhou Hongyi was shocked to discover that the user loss rate of its products began to accelerate suddenly, with millions of active users almost every day.

I uninstalled 361 Security Guard from my computer and turned to QQ, before the wave of mobile Internet arrived.

Logging into QQ can almost be equated with surfing the Internet.

It is hard for people who have not experienced that era to imagine that if you turn on your computer and don’t log in to QQ, you will always feel like something is missing.

"We can't just sit there and wait, we have to do something to curb this trend."

Qi Xiangdong could not stop the murderous intent on his face, "Whether it was previously exposed that Tenda scanned user hard drives, peeped into user privacy, and used it to collect data for special economic purposes.

Whether it is accusing Tenda of being rude and overbearing, they can only gain some insignificant public support from users.

As a result, everyone saw it. When Tenda didn't care about the outside world's reputation and was determined to kill us, its products produced a fantastic linkage, and only one of them accelerated the QQ level.

Let a large number of consumers vote with their feet. When we visited them offline, the most common thing we heard was that they thanked 361 for raising their QQ level by several levels out of thin air..."

Look, how annoying it is. Tengda just likes the way people are unhappy with it but can’t get rid of it.

Zhou Hongyi was also furious. Tengda launched complaints against 361 in many places at the same time, accusing it of defamation, malicious competition, and all sorts of means, as if it wanted to kill it.

If Wu Yibin had not come north to find him to discuss cooperation, he would probably have had no choice but to fight to the death with Tengda according to the plan discussed at the top-secret meeting within the group.

If you don't fight, you will die.

If we keep fighting, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"Mr. Zhou, please don't be angry. This is how business competition works. If you can completely crush someone, you will show no mercy.

Moreover, at the beginning, Mr. Zhou went to Pengcheng to beg Tony Ma for mercy, which made him feel more confident. "

Wu Yibin's ability to manipulate people's hearts was already superb, and he provoked Zhou Hongyi's anger with just a few words, "Boss Zhou, don't look at me like that, Qingyun doesn't have any good solution.

I came to Yanjing this time to talk to Mr. Zhou? I came here to talk to each other from the heart. Qingyun can't afford to offend Tengda, so I'll give him a new contract. "

"What do you mean? I haven't even lost yet, but you can't wait to change the cooperation that we have already agreed on?"

Zhou Hongyi stood up with a bang, "I tell you, there's no way. If Qingyun dares to break the contract, we'll see you in court with the contract."

Are you kidding? At a time when 361's user base continues to plummet, there are reports that its largest advertising business partner has breached the contract. How do people outside view 361?

How can the management and employees continue to maintain their determination to fight on, and how do they view Zhou Hongyi?
"Mr. Zhou, did you misunderstand something?"

Wu Yibin was stunned, and then told him about Tengda’s attempt to forcibly acquire WeChat.

Zhou Hongyi immediately joined in the fight, "Damn cute Tengda, he really wants to eat anything good he sees, you guys must not be fooled!"

As he said this, he was worried that Wu Yibin might not believe him, so he picked out some companies’ endings as examples, “This is an unscrupulous company that will never be the first to try something new.

Relying on its unparalleled traffic advantage, it sits back and reaps the benefits. Once others have spent a lot of manpower and resources to build up the market, it rushes in and takes away everything.

Not even a sip of soup is left for others. This is true for anti-virus software, browsers, decompression tools, and mobile instant messaging software.

Not to mention that what you did was what Tenda did on the computer side, which involves their core business. No matter who is in that position, they will not let you go in the end~"

There are a lot of things to say, but the core point is just one: Tenda is not trustworthy and no one will end well if they cooperate with it.

"Mr. Zhou, I know exactly what you mean. In fact, Mr. Wang Xing, who is in charge of the group purchase business of the group, was also deeply harmed by Tengda. If you have time to go to Shanghai, you will definitely have a lot in common with him."

Wu Yibin agreed, "Actually, I came here this time to use 361 Security Guard and browser traffic to reach a promotion cooperation with your company, which is the computer version of WeChat Technology that I am responsible for."

Zhou Hongyi was stunned. God bless you! Finally, a brave man dared to stand up and openly challenge Tenda, the evil dragon of the Internet?

"I promise, I will support you even if you don't ask for money!"

Seeing him gritting his teeth, Wu Yibin thought it was settled, and took the opportunity to talk about the cooperation based on the computer operating system and the mobile phone security manager.

"Using the internal operating system of the Five Military Commandery as a basis, developing a civilian computer operating system? It's completely free, and the operation is only maintained by the fees provided by the pre-installed computer software company?"

Zhou Hongyi was stunned. He didn't expect Qingyun Group to have such big ambitions. The fact that Roewe mobile phone was derived from Android operating system already surprised him.

Unexpectedly, Qingyun went crazy and even did not let Microsoft go.

"From the day the group decided to develop its own products, we have already established our ultimate goal: Qingyun wants to ensure that no screws produced with foreign technology will be used in any of the world's mainstream products."

Wu Yibin reiterated the group strategy and then analyzed it to Zhou Hongyi: "This is going too far. President Zhou will see our actual actions in the future. Let's get back to promoting the computer version of WeChat.

President Zhou should be very clear that this is the lifeblood of Tengda. Compared with your attempt to stop Tengda through public opinion, cutting off the source of the problem is the ultimate solution.

As soon as WeChat comes out.

Qingyun Group is Tengda's mortal enemy. 361 can take the opportunity to get rid of Tengda's pressure. In return, Qingyun wants to invest in 361 and join the board of directors.

Don't get me wrong, Qingyun has no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to acquire 361. As a sign of sincerity, Mr. Li explained when he came that Qingyun can sign a concerted action agreement as long as Mr. Zhou does not harm the interests of Qingyun.

We can support any business plan of Mr. Zhou and provide him with sufficient financial guarantee. The premise is that 361's products such as security guards and traffic meters must be compatible and integrated into Qingyun's one-card strategy...

Moreover, Mr. Li also said that he didn’t like Xunlei, which was recommended by Mr. Zhou, but he was quite interested in Kuaibo. If possible, he would wait until this matter is over.

Let's find some time to sit down and talk. Qingyun is planning to acquire Kuaibo in full and invite Wang Xing, the general manager of Kuaibo, to serve as the technical vice president of Douyin Interactive Entertainment under Qingyun Group."

Wu Yibin couldn't understand Li Zehua's operation. Logically speaking, it would be more advantageous to use the technology of Wang Xing's company to make video players, but he insisted on asking Wang Xing to be responsible for the short video platform.

Are you planning to invite people all over the country to watch short videos without any lag?
Zhou Hongyi was also a little confused, but after thinking about it, she decided not to refuse. 361 needed strong external support at this time to offset the huge pressure from Tenda.

Wu Yibin finally said, "When I was chatting with Mr. Qi before, I seemed to hear him vaguely mention that your company is developing an upgraded product based on QQ security diagnosis.

I wonder if Mr. Zhou can have a deeper chat about this product that will be the final word.”

Zhou Hongyi's face changed drastically, "That's not true, don't listen to his nonsense, there is no such thing as a Koukou bodyguard~"

However, Qingyun needs a token of its allegiance, and WeChat needs a godsend opportunity to enter the market.

Zhou Hongyi is in a dilemma now. If he takes a step back, he will fall into an abyss. If he takes a step forward, he can obtain the huge financial and network support of Qingyun Group, and maybe he can survive the fierce attack of Tengda.

Still want to choose?

He had no choice.

Therefore, QQ Bodyguard came into being with the joint efforts of Qingyun and 361.
Fortunately, Zhou Hongyi no longer has to worry about being arrested by Uncle Hat in this life, because he also agreed to jointly develop a computer operating system with Qingyun and the Five Military Commandery.

Don't worry if you have too much debt, don't be afraid of lice biting you, if the sky falls, there is still Qingyun in front of you to support it...

"Chairman, is 361 really that brave?
Dare to block QQ pop-up windows, QQ shows, QQ games, homepage and QQ ads at once, isn't this forcing Tenda to turn against it? "

There was a fanatical fire in Wang Xing's eyes. The fiercer the fight, the better. The more unlucky Tengda was, the happier he would be.

"I said, could you please stop smiling so happily?"

Li Zehua was speechless. "Even if 361 does this, it will only make the matter worse. As long as Tengda is not crazy, it will use all the resources it can mobilize to fight 361 to the death."

"It's better to fight to the death. If Tengda doesn't overturn the table, how can the whole world see its true face?

If QQ didn’t go berserk, there would be no way WeChat would have made it big! "

Wang Xing rubbed his hands excitedly, "I've been looking for a chance to beat up this little cutie, I can't miss this chance.

Boss, please transfer me to WeChat Technology. I promise that I can complete the tasks of Pinxixi and will not delay the company's development tasks."

"It's just the last few months, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Zehua rejected it mercilessly, saying, "It's for your own good that I'm not transferring you there. There are only eight months left for Pinxixi to go public, and its monthly turnover is still stuck between 30 billion and 40 billion.

Sometimes we cannot even reach one-third of the rural market. Although the gross profit can be maintained at around 25% and we can get additional special subsidies from above, we cannot go public with this data.

You may not get any extra rewards, and you may even be held accountable by the board of directors.”

Wang Xing didn't care. "Compared to a mere reward, I would rather take revenge myself. Even if I can just ask Tony Ma in person about his feelings, it would be more satisfying than getting hundreds of millions of options from Pinxixi."

He is not short of money. If it is just for the money, he might as well go home and take over.

Li Zehua couldn't do anything about him. "You have a lot of free time, right? Well, go to Pengcheng and take care of the guy who has the same surname and pronunciation as you."

"Kuaibo Wang Xing?"

Wang Xing scratched his head. "Is a player technology that important?"

"I can't say it's important, I can only say it's quite important. If we can successfully bring him back, it will add technical reserves to the group's future entertainment and improve users' viewing experience.

Wang Xing’s technical team will also be of great help in building short video platforms in the future.”

In life, there is no need to worry so much. The main purpose is to settle scores. In his previous life, he owed a member, so in this life, he invited that person to be responsible for building the short video platform.

The concept of free, the beauty of simple technology, the pursuit of perfection, what kind of sparks will be created when these come together?
Li Zehua is not sure, but he has the qualifications to make plans at his leisure!
……

With Qingyun's early intervention, the three-dunk battle was even more intense than in the previous life.

361 executives frequently leaked information to the media, saying that they would completely cut ties with Tenda and that it was just a mere lawsuit, so go ahead.

As for Tenda, on the one hand, it contacted its Internet peers and launched a massive campaign to denounce 361.

On the one hand, we should speed up the acquisition and merger of technical teams in the anti-virus industry, because words cannot kill people. Only by maintaining a leading edge in technology can we kill opponents through huge increases in traffic.

During the same period, Tenda's behind-the-scenes investors also frequently contacted Qingyun, hoping that the other party would give up its irrational behavior and stop increasing its investment in the mobile sector.

In the instant messaging software market, Tenda will not allow any second company to exist. If there is one, it will face suppression from Tenda at all costs.

Even other businesses of Qingyun Group will suffer.

Then~
That’s all, because its biggest competitor at this stage, and its potential biggest competitor, began to merge secretly.

Then on October 10, 21 contacted Tenda for the last time, saying that the two parties had reached a peace agreement and that 361 would no longer conduct public relations for any Tenda product.

Tengda also gave up QQ Butler and acquired shares in 361 at the market price. The two sides became strategic allies and stopped fighting.

As a result, Tengda, who thought he had won the game, had no intention of listening to what 361 had to say and slammed the door to the negotiation.

We also joined hands with other Internet companies to issue a joint statement opposing 361's unfair competition and strengthening industry self-discipline.

Qiandu, in a rare move, did not sign the joint statement, but Tenda was not surprised because it had never taken 361 seriously from the beginning to the end.

As a result, Zhou Hongyi lost the last hope of compromise and turned to sign a shareholding agreement with Qingyun, allowing Qingyun to acquire 361% of 20's shares at the market price.

When it was almost time to get off work that afternoon, all members of the 361 company and the Qingyun technical team members who came from Shanghai did not leave work.

Not only did they not leave work, they also forced the Tengda technical department staff who had already left work to rush back to the company on their way home to get off work overtime.

Because 361 updated its security guard and added a new QQ bodyguard function.

At the same time, an announcement was released to the entire Internet, the general meaning of which can be summarized in one sentence: go to hell with you (so cute) Tenda, 361 will not tolerate you anymore.

Previously, QQ Butler pursued 361 relentlessly, and relying on the huge traffic support of QQ, it took 10 months to complete the miracle of growing from 0 to tens of millions of users (Tenda said it was child's play).

Later, 361 fought back and launched QQ Bodyguard, prohibiting QQ from forcefully pushing ads to users through the backend and from performing any form of pop-up windows.

With this one item alone, most of QQ's profit-making methods have been eliminated.

Tony Ma, who rushed back from home in a hurry, was stunned for a moment. With a grim face, he called Zhou Hongyi, and there was only one sentence waiting for him:

These are the results of Tengda going too far!
At this time, the outside world was in an uproar, and countless netizens and news media were boiling with excitement. This was the first time that a company dared to challenge Tenda head-on.

It's crazy.

When everyone downloaded QQ Bodyguard, they felt the immersive experience brought by the pure interface of QQ for the first time.

While waiting for Tengda's response.

It was not until late at night that Tengda finally took action and sent an open letter to netizens across the country, which will forever exist in the memory of the Internet.

A letter to QQ users:

Dear QQ user, when you see this letter, we have just made a very difficult decision... (End of this chapter)
