"I lost hundreds of millions in cotton futures, and Qingyun still has the nerve to come to me and ask me not to support Tengda?"

Li Yanhong was very angry. If possible, he would strangle Lin Wenhui to death and then go to Shanghai to kill Li Zehua.

However, the other party offered too much, and the series of conspicuous zeros on the contract made him unable to take his eyes away.

Lin Wenhui smiled and said, "How about it, Mr. Li, as long as you nod your head, the advertising search and traffic contract worth 10 billion for Pinxixi in the next year will belong to Qiandu.

Our requirements are not high. As long as Mr. Li remains neutral and does not help either party, this contract will take effect immediately."

Li Yanhong was very conflicted. "The grievances between Qiandu and 361 cannot be changed by a little money. What does this have to do with Qingyun?"

"That's not enough, then?"

Lin Wenhui waved his hand and took out another contract. "This is a cooperation invitation between Qingyun Electronics and Qingyun Smart Logistics. It is also worth 10 billion. Is that enough?"

Li Yanhong really wanted to slam the table and yell at the other party, "What do you think of Baidu?"

But Lin Wenhui calmed him down with just one sentence, "Qiandu's stock price has fallen a bit recently, more than 300 billion US dollars is less than 2700 billion RMB.

The closing price of Tengda’s share price yesterday was HK$3200 billion. It might drop a bit tomorrow, but it will be difficult for Baidu to surpass Tengda and become the third largest company in the global Internet industry by market value.

If we add the 20 billion in advertising business contract revenue, the fourth quarter financial report and even the full-year financial report will be particularly good. Investors will be happy, stock prices will rise, everyone will profit and everyone will be happy.

Isn't it good that Qiandu has surpassed Tengda smoothly?"

Li Yanhong was shaken. What did a little loss in cotton futures matter?
If the stock price goes up a few points, the losses will be recovered.

"If Baidu can stand by us and participate in the network-wide push in the next few days, Qingyun Software (a nickname for WeChat Technology) can also offer another 10 billion yuan order."

Lin Wenhui played his third trump card, and Li Yanhong lost his composure completely. "Really?"

"Replace it if it's fake!"

Lin Wenhui said with absolute certainty, "Counting the advertising business orders from Chime Fengniao and other companies, there are four billion-level orders in exchange for Qiandu's support for 10 and Qingyun.

How about the two sides establish a strategic partnership and help each other? "

Spending money to support Baidu and letting it go further and further down the evil path of relying on advertising business is one of Qingyun's established strategies. 40 billion is far from Qingyun's limit.

If necessary, order contracts for the sharing economy can also be thrown out, as long as we can hold on to Qiandu and provide vital support to Qingyun in promoting WeChat technology.

Currently on the PC side, apart from Tenda, Qiandu has the largest traffic, and there are no irreconcilable conflicts between Qingyun and Qiandu.

Lin Wenhui's trip to Yanjing was mainly to discuss with the three major portals and Qiandu to form an alliance to deal with Tengda, in addition to dealing with the issue of the transfer of Minsheng shares.

Sina was easy to deal with, as it had wanted to use 361 to attack Tenda. Aunt Wang's attitude was ambiguous, but with the continuous advertising orders and cross-border promotion of games, Ding Sanshi compromised.

There is no need to mention Sohu Zhang. The two parties have cooperated on Sogou's business. Although Sogou and 361 are constantly competing in browsers, with Qingyun mediating the conflicts, they can temporarily maintain a superficial relationship.

The three major portals have made a collective statement, and now only Qiandu is left.

Li Yanhong finally couldn't resist the temptation of the sky-high advertising contract, and chose to cooperate with Qingyun out of consideration for the benefit. But as for a strategic alliance, forget it, as the two sides still have conflicts in group buying and takeaway business.

……

"Tengda updated its QQ client, and the 361 QQ mediation software version 1.0 became invalid."

"361 President Qi Xiangdong issued a public statement: choosing one of two options is contrary to the principle of fair competition in the market, and has reported Tenda to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology."

"361 said it will develop a dispute resolution software for the latest version of QQ as soon as possible to prevent consumers from being caught in a dilemma.

During this period, all consumers can choose to log in by downloading the old version of QQ, which will not interfere with normal chat and other functions.

At the same time, QQ Bodyguard will continue to operate and provide all consumers with a pure Internet experience environment...

According to public information, in the past 2000 hours, the download volume of QQ Bodyguard exceeded million times..."

Inside the Tengda headquarters, Tony Ma, who hadn't rested all night, was so angry when he saw the news. "Okay, okay, you're going to fight me, right? If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After that, he arranged for the Internet companies that had been contacted long ago to speak out together.

Kingsoft: ...From now on, Kingsoft software backend client is no longer compatible with 361 security antivirus software.

Niu Niu: 361 has long used rogue methods to bundle and induce consumers to install third-party junk software, trampling on consumers' right to know and right to choose...

In order to maintain an orderly development environment for the Internet market, from now on, the Niu Niu software backend client will no longer be compatible with 361.

Following closely was a series of Internet small and medium-sized enterprises speaking out together. Most of these companies had one thing in common: they had a grudge against 361.

If it weren't for the antivirus software industry peers who had been bullied by 361, such as Kingsoft, Rising, etc., 361's free strategy would have caused the entire industry to disappear completely.

Kingsoft Rising and several other old card companies can only survive by eating the leftovers of enterprise-level professional protection. They hate 361 to the core and now that they have finally found an opportunity, there is no reason for them to let it go.

There are also some rogue software companies that have been checked and killed by 361. These little rogues try to forcibly seize market share through automatic pop-ups, inability to uninstall and other unscrupulous means.

But 361's predecessor, 3721, is the biggest gangster in the market, and Zhou Hongyi is a gangster by birth. Acting like a gangster in front of him is like a mouse paying a New Year's greeting to a cat.

One catch at a time.

Now that Tengda is taking the lead, everyone wants to take revenge on their enemies and complain about their grievances, and at the same time gather under Tengda to make a living.

For example, Kingsoft once became the biggest beneficiary of this incident. Within one hour of the launch of the "choose one of two" function, more than 400 million people downloaded Kingsoft Antivirus software.

After QQ was successfully updated, rendering its dispute mediation software ineffective, the number of downloads of Kingsoft Software ushered in a new round of sustained surge.

Although 361 talks big, it actually has no good way to deal with Tenda. Users vote with their feet. Nine out of ten scold Tenda for being arrogant and unreasonable, but seven out of eight cannot do without QQ.

I uninstalled QQ on impulse, then came to my senses and installed it again, and then continued to curse Tenda on the Internet...

"You can curse me all you want, it won't cost you any money anyway."

Tony Ma also risked his life, as long as he put aside his face for the time being, he could gain more, “It seems that the situation is under control, except that the speed of unloading at the beginning was a bit scary.

The current churn rate and secondary installation volume are completely within controllable range, but why is the number of downloads of this QQ Bodyguard still increasing? "

Liu Zhiping took a look and didn't care. "It should be the remaining 361 customers who support them. After all, there is still 361 browser to attract traffic. In the short term, there will be another wave of struggle.

When 361's installed capacity drops to a certain level, the battle will be decided."

The two men finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Tengda was about to overcome the biggest crisis in its more than ten years of existence.

During this time, Zhou Hongyi called again and said, "Boss Ma, please stop it. If you continue like this, 361 will collapse. Tell me straight out, what do you want me to do to help you?
How about you name a price and I'll sell you the 361 package for billion dollars? "

Tony Ma was completely unmoved, "First take QQ Bodyguard off the shelves, then make a public apology, then we can talk about the rest."

Acquire 361?

That's nonsense. The other party had previously claimed a sky-high price, relying on the fact that the product was about to go public, but he directly rejected it.

361 is on the verge of collapse and is worthless without its user base. He will not spend $10 billion to acquire a company that may go bankrupt at any time.

Zhou Hongyi cursed and uttered harsh words, saying that 361 still had the browser in its hands and would not easily admit defeat, and Tenda would not have a good ending if it used its power to suppress others.

"Browser? That's great, let's join the two-choice and see how long you can last!"

Following Tony Ma's order, the vigorous selection of sides quickly spread to all core products of Tenda and 361.

I had no choice but to quietly collect various evidences and prepare to find a suitable time to enter the scene.

"No, let's talk it over. Ten billion dollars won't do. Five hundred million is enough. If you buy 361, you can list it on the U.S. stock market in less than half a year.

It will be easy to raise $361 million to $ million by then, and the market value will double or triple in an instant. Please, give us a way out." "You are dreaming. Tengda is determined to kill . There is no possibility of reconciliation!"

361 Zhou Hongyi, who was begging for mercy, was no longer panicked. In his previous life, he was alone and helpless and was forced to frantically ask for help from above. In this life, he had the Qingyun Group supporting him from behind and he had nothing to fear at all.

Isn’t it just that UBS withdrew from underwriting and the American capital market responded that public fundraising was not well received?
Li Zehua personally came forward to negotiate with Temasek Holdings and other financial institutions, preparing to jointly take over 361's publicly offered shares, and also brought in Goldman Sachs to support 361.

If time was not insufficient, Li Zehua even wanted to move 361's listing location to Lijiaopo.

Zhou Hongyi was reassured that there was hope for a listing, and the investors behind him came out one after another to express their support for him and Tengda to the end.

He was even more outrageous. He called Pengcheng again and scolded Tony Ma, "You despicable villain, let's compete head-on. I still admire you as a man.

I didn't expect you to play dirty tricks in private, contacting the main underwriter of 361, trying to prevent 361 from going public, bah."

Tony Ma laughed out loud, "You know you're wrong and want to beg for mercy? It's too late. If you don't go public, you won't have any money. How can you continue to gamble without money?
To tell you the truth, Tengda has you in its sights, so clean your neck and wait for death."

This was exactly the effect Zhou Hongyi wanted. Since they had already fallen out, she might as well tease him. She then edited what Tengda had done into text and posted it on Weibo.

"…Even if 361 goes bankrupt, I will continue to fight."

This tragic declaration of the weak, like a heroic warrior charging forward without hesitation in the face of a powerful demon, has won countless sympathies.

This immediately caused a huge uproar, and more consumers joined the ranks of attacking Tenda.

Tony Ma was not panicked at all and said they were all minor noises.

Haven’t you seen that with this war, the scale of QQ’s registered users and the number of real-time online users have increased?

The only thing that made him unhappy was that someone seemed to be maliciously shorting Tengda’s stock price, which had been falling all day long.

Little did he know that Li Zehua, the Sixth Brother, would not let go of even the smallest flies or mosquito legs. Today, he invested a huge amount of money and wiped out Tengda's market value of HK$150 billion in one go.

……

But by the third day, something was clearly wrong.

"Why are there more and more downloads of QQ Bodyguard? What went wrong?"

"Among the real-time online users today, 1200 million have used or downloaded QQ Bodyguard, and there is absolutely no sign that the users associated with them have been converted to the game news channel through internal links."

"It shouldn't be like that. The number of uninstalls of 361 Security Antivirus Software has continued to plummet. Currently, there are more than 1500 million new consumers who have downloaded and used our QQ Butler.

Logically speaking, the number of installed bases of QQ Bodyguard should have plummeted, so why is it increasing? "

The technical team, who couldn't figure out the whole thing, panicked. Cracking down on 361 is no longer the group's top priority. The priority is to force 361 to surrender and remove QQ Bodyguard from the shelves.

The problem is that the situation has not only not improved, but has shown signs of worsening.

"Go check which link has the problem."

When the news reached Tony Ma, he panicked again.
Soon, the real reason was reported back, and the entire Tengda team went crazy.

Liu Zhiping was stunned. "How could this happen? The three major portals collectively gave Quick Access a helping hand, or simply blatantly helped 361 promote QQ Bodyguard?"

Tony Ma almost collapsed on the spot, "How dare they?!"

Liu Zhiping didn't have time to talk, and quickly typed on the computer. The result he saw made his scalp tingle. "Are they crazy? They actually put a QQ bodyguard link on the homepage."

"Boss Ma, Boss Liu, the problem right now is very urgent. If we allow the three major portals to continue, within a week, all QQ users will have installed QQ Bodyguard.

Not only will our stock price collapse, but our revenue system will also completely collapse in the future.”

The technical department and the marketing department were both panicked.

Liu Zhiping was the most anxious, but after making a circle of phone calls, all three companies said that this was a normal business practice and that 361, as a legally operating company, was spending money to advertise in their companies.

It is reasonable and legal, and no one can stop it.

"Don't talk to me about legal provisions. You must pay the price for your actions. Tengda has already sued 361 QQ Bodyguard for malicious competition. You are aiding and abetting the evil.

Tengda will hold each of you accountable for any business losses incurred during this period due to the promotion of QQ Bodyguard."

In response to Liu Zhiping's rant, the three portals said that if they had any problems, they would contact 361 and that they were only responsible for advertising. The president of Sina even directly responded:

“Don’t think we are scary. The group’s legal department has strictly reviewed every detail of the contract. According to the Consumer Rights Law, every consumer has the right to choose freely.

The so-called additional losses caused by the promotion of QQ Bodyguard are unfair terms. Users can choose whether to purchase QQ Show products based on their own preferences.

Whether to top up QQ games, you can say whatever you want, we did not stop users from spending, not to mention the forced pop-up advertising experience, which is unilaterally imposed on consumers by you...

I don't agree. You, Tenda, have the ability to make the three major portals incompatible?
I forgot to mention that the products under Qingyun Group have also started to put QQ Bodyguard on their homepages, offering free promotional resources. Remember to block Qingyun as well."

What can Liu Zhiping say?
He could only silently endure the other party's criticism of him from the moral high ground.

I'm kidding. The Qingyun system, the three major portals, and 361 account for almost half of the Internet. Even if Tenda is stubborn, it dare not go to war with so many companies at the same time.

After hanging up the phone, he went completely berserk. "We can't let the situation continue to develop. The key to the matter lies in 361. As long as it is solved, everything can be solved."

Tony Ma didn't care about anything shocking and directly called the investor behind the scenes.

When the investor heard this, he was surprised, "Has the matter come to this?"

"We must solve the problem at the source. If we delay any further, within a week, Tengda's business model will be ruined. By then, the stock price will collapse and revenue will be cut in half.

It may even trigger a siege from all Internet companies, so taking ruthless action against 361 and resolving the root cause of the conflict is the most time-saving and labor-saving method.”

Tony Ma can endure more than anyone else at critical moments, and he is also bolder than anyone else. This is similar to when he tried to use debit coins to replace currency a few years ago to pay employees and suppliers.

At that time, he insisted on doing what he wanted despite the pressure from both sides, and he almost succeeded. During that period, one could make money by charging and deducting coins, and the commission income alone could make a group of people rich.

It almost changed the foundation of the current financial industry. If it weren't for the angry Thunder above who personally took action to defuse the mine, I'm afraid that the other Little Brother Ma on the other side of the ocean would only be worthy of carrying Tony Ma's shoes.

What’s a virtual Bitcoin trading center? People deduct coins and use them directly as cash.

It was also at that time that Zhou Hongyi contacted Microsoft and Yahoo, trying to overthrow the Tengda Empire in one fell swoop. The feud between the two sides had already been formed.

So from the beginning, Tengda was aiming to completely defeat 361. Otherwise, anyone would have spent a little money to buy 361 when Zhou Hongyi begged for mercy for the second time.
Now, things are getting out of control, and 361 seems to be showing signs of merging with Qingyun.

"Boss Li, help me! I just received a call saying that Uncle Hat is waiting downstairs in my company. He wants to kill me!"

Zhou Hongyi was terrified. In the history of the Internet, there had never been such an incident that crossed the bottom line. Even if everyone wanted the other party to die in private.

It wouldn't have caused such a big fuss on the surface.

"Don't worry. Don't forget that 361 is now a strategic partner of the Five Military Commandery."

When Li Zehua answered the phone, he was in Yanjing, near the 361 headquarters building. "Don't go anywhere now. I'll call them and ask them to send someone to protect you as you enter the headquarters building.

Remember, don't panic. I will arrange interviews with reporters at the door. Just tell the truth.

As long as this scene is reported in the newspaper and causes a sensation, there will be a chance that the matter will be resolved once and for all.

You should call Qi Xiangdong first and ask him to prepare the pop-up window and promote WeChat technology internationally at the same time.

After the success, I guarantee that 361 will be successfully listed, and the scale will not be lower than what you originally envisioned.

As an extra reward, the mobile phone antivirus market that Qingyun Electronics will control in the future will always be open to 361! " (End of this chapter)
