Chapter 254

On December 7, it was just a week since Fang zhe went to Baidu. Fang zhe achieved his wish and reached the total Zhou of 360.

Now, although 360 is already a large-scale Internet company, when President Zhou learned that president Fang of Huizhong offered him to meet, although he was surprised, he readily agreed. Although Fang Zhe and Huizhong are new stars and rising stars in the Internet industry, their achievements and strength can not be underestimated.

In terms of the valuation and profitability of the two companies in the capital market, Huizhong is not the least better than 360. To say 360 is better than Huizhong, that is, the number of domestic users. After all, Huizhong's current domestic users are basically game players. In terms of the total number, it can't compare with the accumulation of nearly 360 million users, but the situation is just the opposite in foreign countries, 360 overseas business can't compare with Huizhong at all!

Fang Zhe and President Zhou made an appointment to meet in a teahouse near the Olympic Park. It was just between the two companies. Fang zhe neither intended to visit 360 headquarters in person, nor was it big enough for president Zhou to go to gather people.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhe is more and more unhappy about Baidu. After all, boss Fang went there himself before, and President Li's score is too big.

When you hate a person, you see he hates everywhere. Fang Zhe now has this feeling about Baidu. Many things Baidu and President Li do are labeled as annoying by Fang Zhe.

Like President Li of Baidu, Fang zhe saw President Zhou of 360 in reality for the first time. However, there was no emotional fluctuation in Fang Zhe's heart. To tell the truth, President Zhou of 360 is the most grounded among the big guys in the Internet industry. He is an ordinary middle-aged greasy man regardless of his appearance or personality.

When Fang zhe went into the private room, President Zhou had been waiting for a while. After they ordered, they chatted casually.

"President Fang, which university did you graduate from?" President Zhou is a straight man in character, so his opening remarks are ordinary.

"Anyang Institute of technology, just graduated this year!" Fang zhe responded. He believed that President Zhou should have investigated his details long before he came. Just like the development history of 360 before he came, knowing himself and the enemy is one of the criteria for talking about things. President Zhou has nothing to talk about.

"President Fang is really young and promising! When I was in your grade, I just started graduate school." President Zhou praised Fang Zhe's achievements by analogy.

Fang zhe remembered the resume of President Zhou, who had been turned over two days ago. President Zhou graduated from Anxi Jiaotong University. After graduating as a graduate student in 1995, he went to work for founder, a giant in the domestic IT industry. A few years later, he left and founded 3721, which was jokingly called China's first generation rogue software by netizens.

The earliest 3721 provides a Chinese Internet service similar to the combination of Baidu and navigation websites. After downloading the 3721 plug-in, users can directly enter Chinese terms in the browser address bar to search or enter the corresponding website.

It is similar to replacing the common English website with a Chinese name. The function is rough and simple, but it is very friendly and practical to Chinese Internet users.

Before 3721 circle Baidu, it was the largest quasi Chinese search engine in China and one of the main competitors in the early stage of Baidu's development.

In 2004, the wealthy Yahoo spent 120 million US dollars to buy 3721, which was regarded as one of the trumps of Yahoo China. He wanted to compete with Baidu in the search field, and President Zhou also became the president of Yahoo China at that time.

However, a year and a half later, the battle between 3721 and Baidu has reached an irreparable point. President Zhou also left Yahoo China and founded today's Qihoo 360.

Think about it carefully. The strength of 3721 in the early years was still very strong. If it had not lost to Baidu, perhaps today, the most commonly used search engine in the country is 3721, not Baidu!

It is also because of these historical grievances that Baidu and President Li have always been unhappy with 360. President Zhou has always been bitter about Baidu, which is also one of the reasons why 360 later launched 360 search.

The two exchanged greetings for a while, and Fang zhe finally came to the point:

"Mr. Zhou, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm here to ask you if you're interested in killing back the search engine market?"

Fang zhe asked this. In fact, he took a fancy to President Zhou's heart and always resented Baidu's defeat of 3721. The better Baidu's performance, the more President Zhou felt that his face was hurt.

If 3721 didn't fail at the beginning, these glories belong to him and 3721. He doesn't need to re engage in 360 and engage in Internet security, which is not the mainstream business of the Internet industry.

President Zhou frowned. Before he came, he had been speculating about the purpose of Huizhong, the young president Fang, who asked himself out to meet. Like outsiders, President Zhou always thought that Huizhong was a game company and had nothing to do with 360. Therefore, during the conversation just now, although the two popularity atmosphere was quite relaxed, President Zhou kept alert to Fang Zhe, Although Fang Zhe is so young, his achievement at this age shows that he is not ordinary.

President Zhou turned his head, frowned slightly and said, "president Fang, you don't know what we 360 do!"

"Of course! 360's achievements in the field of Internet security are obvious to all. If it weren't for 360, we ordinary people would have to spend money to buy a set of anti-virus software for killing computers!" Fang zhe responded with a smile.

President Zhou smiled quietly. As Fang Zhe, he was sure of his and 360 achievements. He was naturally very happy. He asked, "president Fang, are you interested in doing search?"

Hey, Fang zhe was really impatient. He tried to test each other with President Zhou. He said bluntly: "Mr. Zhou, you don't have to think about it. We Huizhong still don't want to break up with Baidu. You know, our Huizhong Zhongle platform is very dependent on Baidu's traffic, which is a very risky thing for us. So I came to you today, hoping to disperse some of the risks.

What is the situation of Google China now? I think you can see, Mr. Zhou. Google's withdrawal from China is basically a foregone conclusion. When Google leaves, the market share in the search field will certainly fall into Baidu's hands. At that time, Baidu will dominate the domestic search industry. This is not what we hope to see. I think you are probably not happy, Mr. Zhou See this situation.

If President Zhou is not interested, I can also talk to President Ma of Tencent. I think he must be very interested in this matter! "

After hearing Fang Zhe's words, President Zhou's heart beat a little faster, and his eyebrows wrinkled again.

Fang zhe said these words frankly, which was really beyond his expectation. It seems that Fang zhe did not have the patience to argue with him, but President Zhou believed that the young boss Fang was quick and accurate, hit the snake seven inches, and hit his key directly. He was very confident that he and 360 would do the search!
