They were laughing and the bedside phone rang.
Xiaoshan picked it up, but it was Jiang Liangqing. Obviously, he thought it inconvenient to come in.
"President Xiao, Li Yanhong called to sue Zhou Hongwei. The court will open tomorrow. Do you have any instructions?"
Xiao Shan was stunned and suddenly remembered.
Zhou Hongwei's 3721 Chinese website software is a rogue software, which is deeply hated by countless Internet users.
Chidu took the opportunity to build a Chidu search bully, which is exactly the same tool as 3721, and the homogenization competition is serious.
So the two software uninstall each other, making a scene.
Finally, QianDu took Zhou Hongwei to court.
But Xiaoshan doesn't think this lawsuit is difficult. Li Yanhong won in his previous life.
"What's wrong with Li Yanhong? What can I tell you by filing a lawsuit?" Xiao Shan asked.
Jiang Liangqing said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, I guess what he means. He thinks you like to deceive people. If you want to claim $1.8 billion, you can operate it yourself. He doesn't have this ability."
"Sleeping trough, do I have such a bad reputation now?" Xiao Shan could hardly cry or laugh.
But he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. It was time to drive the tooth tiger out of China.
"You tell Li Yanhong that this lawsuit is sure to win and I don't need to intervene. Then contact Zhou Hongwei and I'll meet him."
"OK." Jiang Liangqing hung up.
After waiting for ten minutes, Jiang Liangqing called again:
"Mr. Xiao, Zhou Hongwei will arrive in half an hour."
"Did he agree to meet so happily? It's not his character."
"Of course not so happy. He began to ask what to talk about. I said I didn't know. He said he didn't have time to gossip. I said you would lose the lawsuit, and the loss would be less. Then I hung up the phone. After five minutes, he called again and promised to meet."
Xiao Shan said with a smile, "it's estimated that he can come with a gun."
Jiang Liangqing was startled: "is there such a tiger Internet boss?"
"His ability is strong enough, but the pattern is small and he lacks a sense of security. Therefore, he likes guns, speaks and does things aggressively, and prefers the sword to take the wrong edge. But this person is justice in essence, at least he thinks it is justice, otherwise it is impossible for so many people to follow."
Jiang Liangqing understood that this man did not threaten Xiaoshan with a gun, but just protected himself.
Xiaoshan put down the phone, but Ruolan smiled and said, "husband, do you think people who do rogue software can also be just?"
Looking at Ruolan's deep eyes, Xiao Shan sighed and said slowly:
"In the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous monk called Zen master Danxia.
Once, Zen master Danxia split the Buddha statue and burned it for warmth. The abbot of the temple came to accuse him. Why did he burn the Buddha statue?
Zen master Danxia said, burn it to get the relic.
The abbot said angrily, how can a wooden Buddha have a relic?
Zen master Danxia said, in that case, what's wrong with burning? Let's burn some other Buddha statues.
The host was at a loss. Just then, a fire suddenly rose and burned his eyebrows.
He immediately said that the Buddha was unhappy.
Zen master Danxia asked, why not punish me?
The host was speechless.
Zen master Danxia said with a smile, because what I burn in my heart is wood, and what you burn in your heart is a Buddha. "
Ruolan was stunned and speechless for a long time.
……
"I wonder if President Xiao summoned me. What advice do you have?"
As soon as Zhou Hongwei sat down, he went straight to the theme. His words were polite enough, but his eyes and expression were obviously high spirited. He didn't have any fear because of Xiaoshan's fame.
Xiao Shan smiled, waved his hand and said, "don't get me wrong, Mr. Zhou. I'm Li Yanhong. I never participate in the specific management of the enterprise, and I won't intervene in the lawsuit."
Zhou Hongwei was greatly relieved. If Xiao Shan wanted to intervene in this matter, he had almost no chance of winning.
Xiao Shan continued: "I always admire President Zhou's understanding of the Internet. I should have come to visit in person, but my daughter-in-law is pregnant and I promised to accompany her, so I had to trouble President Zhou to go there in person."
Zhou Hongwei immediately felt flattered. He had never heard that Xiaoshan was so polite to anyone. Even when facing the Taidao boss, he always slapped the table and stared at him, so he was as angry as a tiger, so he was ready to fight with Xiaoshan before he came.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shan didn't care about the lawsuit at all, and seemed to recognize him very much.
"Mr. Xiao is polite. If we don't mention the lawsuit, we can become friends. Even if we can't cooperate, we can communicate and discuss." Zhou Hongwei guessed that Xiao Shan must cooperate with him and take the lead in expressing his position.
Xiao Shan said with a smile, "let me ask a question first. President Zhou thinks, where should a successful product be placed in the user experience?"
Zhou Hongwei's heart clicked. The most criticized thing about 3721 is the user experience. How can he not know?
But Zhou Hongwei didn't think he was wrong, or with his current knowledge, he didn't realize that it was a huge mistake, and immediately said frankly:
"User experience should be placed in a very important position, but we can't give up the opportunity to quickly occupy the market because of user experience, which can only give opponents an opportunity."
Xiaoshan appreciates Zhou Hongwei's confession. This man is more like an old urchin in a rogue coat.
"President Zhou is right. The opportunity to occupy the market is more important than the user experience. However, there is a premise that your direction must be correct. Are you sure you are occupying a continent rather than a melting ice floe?"
Zhou Hongwei suddenly felt cool in his pores.
He always admired Xiao Shan's foresight, and he knew that Xiao Shan never disdained to cheat.
His mind was racing with suspicion.
Finally, he asked tentatively, "if my direction is wrong, is the direction of QianDu wrong? Why didn't President Xiao stop it?"
"No, Chidu has a search engine. It's not wrong to engage in a transitional derivative; you only have a 3721, so only you are wrong." Xiao Shan said flatly.
Zhou Hongwei's cold sweat finally came down: "do you think the Chinese website is just a transitional product?"
"Of course. What's the difficulty in solving this problem?" Xiao Shan said casually:
"I can be very responsible to say that if I were to host QianDu, you would be bankrupt long ago. I just need to develop a browser and let the browser support Chinese search. At that time, you can search any Chinese in the address bar. What is the value of your Chinese website?"
Zhou Hongwei's face became pale. Although there is no browser address bar to support Chinese search, is it difficult?
If QianDu focuses on browsers that support Chinese search, 3721 is indeed facing a survival crisis.
"Whether an Internet enterprise can grow or not, it is very important to choose the right direction. If you are not willing to change the direction, you and QianDu's lawsuit will continue to fight. When you lose the lawsuit, your company will be worthless."
Xiaoshan threw out a bait.
Zhou Hongwei smiled bitterly. Knowing that it was bait, he had to take the bait: "what if I am willing to change my direction?"
"I have a way. You are willing to do so. I immediately asked Li Yanhong to withdraw the lawsuit and let him publicly give up the product of QianDu soba to keep the valuation of your company. By the way, if I don't participate in the lawsuit, you will certainly lose. Do you believe it?" Xiao Shan asked again.
Zhou Hongwei was extremely aggressive. He had already scolded another person, but at this time, he had no fighting spirit to be hit by Xiaoshan. Moreover, the key now is not to argue who loses and who wins.
He could only hold his nose and say, "I believe it. What's your way?"
"You sold 3721 to Yahu, and then we set up a new joint venture company. I accounted for 51% of the shares and only provided strategy. You are still the boss. I don't care about the specific implementation, and you are fully responsible." Xiao Shan said some of his intentions.
Zhou Hongwei keenly realized that the words behind Xiaoshan were really valuable.
But if he doesn't agree to sell it to Yahu and set up a new joint venture, Xiaoshan won't be exposed.
Zhou Hongwei believes that Xiaoshan's direction is absolutely correct, which no one dares to doubt.
After a little meditation, he quickly made a decision: "OK. As long as QianDu makes a public statement, I'll talk to Yahu."
Everything was finalized, and Zhou Hongwei left quickly.
Xiao Shan immediately called Li Yanhong and asked him to come.
Of course, Li Yanhong can't play tricks. Now Xiaoshan is not the Xiaoshan who just bought QianDu. Let alone in China, it is the most influential internet tycoon in the whole world.
Li is a very rational man, but he has no aggressive habit. He immediately rushed to the villa in Xiaoshan.
After the two sat down, Xiaoshan asked directly:
"Yanhong, do you think the Chinese website plug-in is in the right direction?"
Li Yanhong was stunned and immediately replied, "but this is the direction of making money. I know that developing a browser that supports Chinese address bar search will have a better user experience, but it will become free and not make money."
Xiao Shan sighed, "you're blinding the eyes. You can't see the overall situation for the sake of this immediate benefit. There's a problem with the overall situation."
In the past, Li Yanhong must have been uncomfortable, but now he can only be frightened:
"Xiao Zong means that we should seize the share of browsers first?"
"That's right. What's the difficulty in developing a browser that supports Chinese search in the address bar? On the contrary, this browser must have great needs and can quickly occupy the browser share. If you don't do this, someone else will do it, maybe tooth tiger, Microsoft, or other entrepreneurs. Slow down, it will cost ten times if you want to get it back. You give up browsing "To seize a piece of ice floe on this continent?"
Li Yanhong was immediately ashamed. He couldn't see through such a simple truth for his immediate interests, and even fought a lawsuit with Zhou Hongwei.
He resolutely said: "Mr. Xiao, I immediately gave up the product of QianDu soba and turned to the development of browser."
"Well, it's time to drive Yahu out of China. Let's give Yang Zhiyuan a set. I talked with Zhou Hongwei just now, and he agreed to sell the 3721 piece of ice floe to Yahu. So, you made a statement that the lawsuit was withdrawn, that you have reconciled with Zhou Hongwei and publicly abandoned QianDu search hegemony."
Xiao Shan said lightly.
