More than an hour after the meeting, when representatives of the Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of public security, the Internet association and other government regulatory departments visited, Ma and the top executives of Tencent believed in their inner speculation. They believed that Huizhong and 360 had premeditated.
However, without evidence, what can President Ma and them do, even if they really get any evidence?
Sue Huizhong, Sue Baidu and go to war with them? Don't mention the law and the above. If they really want to fight against Tencent's normal business activities, Tencent will really be the enemy of the whole Chinese Internet industry, and there will be no room for recovery at that time.
Fortunately, the regulatory authorities' inquiry and investigation of Tencent did not panic Ma and Tencent executives. They just asked Tencent to immediately stop the unfair business competition with 360, restore the compatible operation of QQ and 360 software, and ordered Tencent and 360 not to take further hostile competition and shelve disputes, Relevant news and reports inciting this matter shall not be released.
The attitude and treatment of the regulatory authorities made Ma and Tencent executives mention that their hearts around their necks were put back in their stomachs, but their great panic and anxiety only dissipated a little.
If this matter is really premeditated by companies such as Huizhong and 360, there may be countless storms behind. How Tencent should face and deal with it requires careful discussion and careful decision by executives.
The high-level meeting of Tencent lasted from 10 o'clock in the morning to 4:5 a.m. during which, in addition to the visit of regulatory representatives, all executives were racking their brains to think about how to deal with the current difficulties.
Even so, when the meeting ended, the executives did not discuss a good treatment plan. Of course, the treatment plan they discussed was not only the stop and 360 unfair competition required by the regulatory authorities, but also how to deal with the possible conspiracy and subsequent storm of Huizhong and other companies against Tencent.
At 18:00 p.m. and 19:00 p.m. on July 21, 360 and Tencent successively announced to put aside disputes and suspend unfair competition.
At the same time, the two companies also sincerely apologized to the national netizens in the announcement, and expressed sincere apologies for the troubles caused to the national netizens by their excessive competitive behavior.
In the 24-hour period from 18:00 p.m. on July 20 to 18:00 p.m. on July 21, the vicious competition between Tencent and 360 has turned the whole Chinese Internet industry upside down, and the Internet users all over the country are shouting and yelling like monkeys. The image of the two companies in the public mind has plummeted completely, even 360 as the weak, It has also been hated and resisted by many people!
Although the two companies stopped temporarily, many netizens reinstalled the previously uninstalled 360 software, but also many people are still uninstalling 360.
These people resent that 360 and Tencent play themselves as monkeys. It is reasonable to unload 360 in anger. As for QQ, it is self-evident that it is important to Internet users. Although Internet users resent QQ, only a few users are unloaded.
However, although the two companies stopped temporarily, there are still many problems and difficulties to be solved one by one.
On July 25, Tencent and 360 announced that the two companies had reached a settlement. Tencent and 360 apologized to netizens all over the country again and said that they would strengthen industry self-discipline in the future and would never happen again.
On August 2, Tencent released a heavy message. Tencent announced that it would remove the QQ computer housekeeper indefinitely and shut down the QQ computer housekeeper, and withdraw from the Internet security market. At the end of this message, Tencent even recommended to netizens that users who need anti-virus computer protection and other functions install 360 software!
As soon as the news came out, netizens all over the country said they couldn't understand it. The two companies that were still killing each other half a month ago shook hands and didn't say anything after only half a month. It seems that they have engaged in "ambiguity"?
I don't understand, I don't understand!
While many netizens say they don't understand it, smart people and people in the Internet industry can naturally see the twists and turns.
"Lao Zhou, this is a blessing in disguise. It seems that President Ma is scared by us!" Fang zhe gave 360 President Zhou a congratulatory phone call with great laughter.
Fang Zhe is very happy. He is glad that the "anti Tencent alliance" he planned and established has finally played its due role. He is glad that he has reversed the fact that Tencent QQ computer housekeeper still lives freely after the 3Q war in his previous life.
Now Tencent has announced its complete withdrawal from the field of Internet security, which also shows that even though Tencent is a behemoth, Fang Zhe is now able to significantly break his historical track!
If wechat is not included, this product is very important to Tencent, but it was not born at this time in the previous life. QQ computer housekeeper is indeed a branch of Tencent's normal development, and Fang zhe cut it off!
Of course, Fang zhe was more pleased that Ma and the top management of Tencent seemed a little too nervous. They were frightened by the proposal jointly issued by Huizhong, Baidu and other companies. Only then did they make a greater retreat and concession than in previous lives. It seems that Ma really thought that Tencent would be the enemy of the whole Chinese Internet industry if it didn't give in again!
On August 5, the relevant regulatory authorities of the Internet industry released a news, requiring companies in the industry to strengthen self-discipline, stick to the bottom line, compete legally, and jointly safeguard the harmonious development environment of China's Internet industry!
After the regulatory authorities made a voice, the happiest people should be Ma Zong and senior executives of Tencent, because this means that the regulatory authorities have paid continuous attention to the competition in the Internet industry. If Huizhong Baidu and other companies really want to take advantage of this time to fight Tencent, which supports half of China's Internet industry, That will inevitably lead to a greater earthquake in China's Internet industry. This situation is not what the above wants to see, and no company can afford this price!
However, Tencent, which is not at ease, still moves one after another!
On August 10, Tencent released another piece of heavy news. Tencent, which felt the crisis of destruction, acted particularly decisively and quickly.
It is reported that Tencent will invite a number of industry experts across the country, domestic well-known Internet personalities such as Li Kaifu, as well as leaders of major domestic Internet enterprises such as president huizhongfang, President Li of Baidu, President Ma of Alibaba and even President 360 weeks.
On August 31 at the end of August, we went to Tencent headquarters in Shenzhen to discuss the contradictions between Tencent and various Internet companies and even the whole industry. We hope that the visiting experts and guests can put forward more opinions for Tencent and "see a doctor" for Tencent!
