Chapter 413

Name:Silicon Valley Author:Baisha
"Look, you just came out of the venture capital company. Are you running your own company?" Henry looked at Zhou Hongyi with a smile and asked slowly.

Zhou Hongyi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help looking at Henry. Henry is 185cm tall, and his face is American. His skin is white and clean. He is resolute, sunny and handsome. There seems to be a kind of specious and Imperial Majesty between his eyebrows. His smile when the corner of his mouth rose, showing a strong self-confidence, full of charm.

Zhou Hongyi fixed his eyes on Henry for a moment. He thought that this is a face that can charm thousands of women!

"Yes, I started a new company with my relatives and colleagues, named 3721 technology company!" Zhou Hongyi replied.

“3721? Ha ha, as expected! " Henry couldn't help laughing at the words.

As soon as Zhou Hongyi talked about his company, his voice immediately opened. He chattered in front of Henry and Lu Zhishan and began to introduce his company. "3721 technology company provides Chinese Internet service. Users don't need to memorize complex domain names. They can directly enter Chinese names in the browser address bar to go to the enterprise website or find enterprise and product information..."

"That sounds interesting," Henry said. "Well, if you don't mind, let's have a good chat in a coffee shop! Maybe... I'll be willing to invest in your company! "

"Are you..."

"Me? My name is William. "Henry doesn't want to reveal his identity for the time being, because 3721 is a searcher, and Isearch is a searcher, so he deliberately said a false identity. Then, Henry pointed to Lu Zhishan and said, "this is Lu Zhishan, the chairman of Mingyue supermarket. Uncle Lu is also my father-in-law!"

When Zhou Hongyi heard this, he was surprised. Although he didn't know Lu Zhishan, Mingyue supermarket is famous with a market value of tens of billions of RMB, and it has been opened all over China. In a word, very rich!

"Hello, Mr. Lu. Nice to meet you here. My name is Zhou Hongyi Zhou Hongyi's attitude was very respectful.

"I'm glad to meet you too, young man," Lu Zhishan said with a faint smile. "You look like you are only in your twenties... Well, you can start your own business at a young age! Not bad, young and promising

"It's nothing to be busy. Our company is still short of development funds. So, I have to ask VC for help! " With that, Zhou Hongyi looked at Lu Zhishan and Henry with burning eyes. After learning the identity of Lu Zhishan, Zhou Hongyi knew that he had met a gold owner. As long as he grasped the opportunity, he might be able to get investment. Although Lu Zhishan is not very interested in his company, his son-in-law seems to be very interested!

Henry said with a smile: "in this case, there is a coffee shop in front of us. We can have coffee and talk at the same time."

"All right!" Zhou Hongyi nodded in response.

A few minutes later, the three walked into the cafe and asked the waiter for three first-class coffees.

"Mr. Zhou, how many employees does 3721 company have now?" Henry asked, "how's it going?"

"I have only 25 employees, including 8 programmers! 3721 company's main business is to provide "network real name" registration for the time being. Each registration requires 100 RMB per year. At present, there are more than 800 users. Online real name registration is just a beginning. The ultimate goal of 3721 company is to use online real name, and then turn to Chinese search. "

"Hoo, ambition is not small!" "But as far as I know, Isearch has occupied an absolute monopoly in the Chinese search market in China. How can 3721 break the deadlock? "

Lu Zhishan just picked up his coffee cup to drink coffee, but when he heard their conversation, he was stunned. He looked at Zhou Hongyi strangely. The big boss of Isearch is sitting opposite Zhou Hongyi. And he didn't know Henry's background. He also talked about it in front of his competitors. He said, isn't this a way to chop his head?

At this time, Zhou Hongyi confidently said: "although it does not exceed Isearch, it can at least snatch a lot of market share from it! 3721 in addition to the network real name this means, there is another move! But it takes you to invest, and I can say it! "

Henry turned his mouth and said, "what do you have to do, I don't know yet?"? Isn't that just playing hooligans? Forced installation, unable to uninstall! For example, when a user opens a web page or installs a software, the 3721 plug-in will be forcibly installed into the user's computer through various means such as binding installation, and even professionals can't completely uninstall it. At the same time, 3721 cooperates with many personal websites to pop up 3721 window ads, and some windows can't be closed at all.

Once 3721 becomes bigger and stronger, it will force other companies to buy its online real name. 3721 network real name is a little similar to Baidu's bidding ranking, that is, if you don't spend money to buy, you can't search for content.

In a word, 3721 is the most powerful Internet company in the early stage of China's Internet business by playing hooligans. While other Internet companies are struggling, 3721 has made a fortune.

Does Baidu blush after seeing it? Of course I'm jealous! It competed with 3721, launched Baidu soba plug-in, took 3721 the same brush rogue practice, but did not 3721. If Baidu can't do it, it will go home to find "Mom" and take 3721 to court on the grounds of abnormal competition, as if Baidu has never used the means of competition to play hooligans

However, although Baidu won, it was useless. 3721 lost tens of thousands of money and sent Baidu away.

3721 occupied the absolute market, and at the same time, it was close to "mutual indignation". At this time, Yahoo threw out olive branch, Zhou Hongyi did not resist the temptation, 120 million dollars sold. 3721 was later renamed Yahoo assistant, but unfortunately, 3721 was tossed by Yahoo, but was tossed to death.

Tencent, google... Which company has not played hooligans? Although Zhou Hongyi named the company 3721, he didn't do it himself.

Despite his "37 21", persistence is victory!

From the end of the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century, China's Internet is the best and most chaotic era. Only by seizing the opportunity can we achieve greatness.

At present, although Isearch search occupies the Chinese market, even Google is suppressed jointly by Baidu and the Chinese government, and finally has to withdraw from the Chinese market. Henry didn't have much hope for Isearch. Search is very important for a country. You can only see what the country wants you to see. Do not want you to see, absolutely to ban! In short, it's the idea of controlling people!

Therefore, unless foreign Internet search companies are willing to become the tools of the Chinese government, the state will try every means to drive away your company. If you want to add crime, you can't be afraid of it... From time to time, one or two policies are issued. If you don't correct them, you can seal the website and do it several times, and you can't be killed!

Therefore, whether Isearch company should compromise and yield to the Chinese government is a very tangled issue for Henry.
