January 1st, it is a special day for Zhiyuan, Yuanfang, and practitioners in the Internet industry. An antivirus software that subverts industry rules will be launched today.

Everyone in Zhiyuan's team is always paying attention to a number today, that is, the number of downloads of 361 antivirus software. Zhuo Ziyuan is of course concerned, but he did not go to the company. Today is New Year's Day, and he and Jian Qiu are in a period of deep love. Of course, they are hurrying to love each other. The activity is very simple, crazy streets.

The reason why Zhuo Ziyuan is so calm is because he is very confident in 361. Think about how much effort he spent in the past to prevent viruses for free. Nowadays, young college students have no ability to resist this kind of free software.

One morning passed, while Zhuo Ziyuan and Jian Qiu had lunch, He Xia first called and told him that as of 12 o'clock, the download volume of 361 has exceeded 5 million. Although Zhuo Ziyuan was very confident, he was also shocked by this data. You should know that not long ago, an authoritative organization released the number of domestic networked computers, which just exceeded 30 million. How many of them are in Internet cafes and how many are in the company? It is not an exaggeration to remove a sixth of them. Even if there are 25 million individual users, the 5 million installation volume now accounts for 20% of the entire market. Chat software like Penguin started to be released in 1998 and took a whole year to break through this data. Although the timelines of the two are different, the overall number of netizens has also undergone earth-shaking changes, but it can still be seen how amazing this data is.

It was only half a day. Zhuo Ziyuan always thought it would take a week to determine the specific user proportion of 361 Antivirus. Now it seems that this time can be reduced by at least half. As for Internet cafe customers and company customers, it is estimated that they have to wait for at least a period of time after 361 is released or after their existing paid software expires before using 361 antivirus software. After all, for them, the software's ability to detect and kill is also an important indicator, and security issues cannot be given up for the sake of cheapness.

After He Xia's call, Liu Bin also called him, his tone was very excited, and the words were similar to those of He Xia. It seemed that the two of them were not waiting for the result together.

When Zhuo Ziyuan and others were celebrating because of this data, the outside world caused great shock. He Xia notified several major portals of this data as soon as possible and announced the news on the company's website. In a short while, the news that 361 had exceeded 5 million users in just 4 hours spread throughout the domestic Internet industry.

In the antivirus software industry, there are those who are worried, and there are also those who are happy.

Those who worry are worried about their insufficient financial strength and their attitudes toward internal shareholders.

Happy people think that the more users of 361, the more troubles they will encounter. The server problem that needs to be solved first will consume a lot of funds and also need to solve bandwidth problems. This is also a sum of funds. This money is not a one-time thing, but is continuously consumed. In addition, the various problems encountered by users during the use of the software are a great challenge to the strength of technical personnel. With the consumption of these multiple aspects of funds, they think that 361 may not be able to support it, so some people are betting that 361's capital chain will be problematic first.

This will be a lasting war of attrition. Whoever has the problem with the capital chain first will fall down first, and whoever holds up to the end will be the winner.

Some old antivirus companies have strong strength and are supported by headquarters. The Chinese market is only one part of their many markets. Of course, they have the ability to take a gamble.

More companies are considering how to use methods to curb the development of 361. However, they are waiting, waiting for 361 users to take action when they have the largest number of users, or waiting for other companies to take action first. Everyone understands the so-called "shot of the first bird". Since Liu Bin dares to say that at the press conference, it means that the other party is ready to fight to the death. Don't end up not changing, and you still gain your reputation, but you will lose a lot. It's just a company, a concept. Anyway, you're already making money. At worst, you can just find other concepts to do it. But once you're bad at reputation, it's really difficult to make a comeback, so everyone is waiting.

Now, the most painful thing is KJ anti-virus. The battle with 123 a few months ago has caused them to lose a huge number of users. In the past few months, through various discount activities, they are still far from their original market share. This has already made the foreigners sent to have white hair. Now, another 361 has emerged for no reason. As for the fact that they have, they are targeting all anti-virus software manufacturers. What kind of grudges do they have? As for whether they can't get along with the entire industry, the foreigners have already thought of the near future.

His own ending, even if KJ can eventually occupy a small share in the Chinese market, and even if all paid antivirus software manufacturers have the same ending, he knows that his ending will definitely not look good, and good days will definitely come to an end. If he knew that the owner of the 123 website last time and the owner of 361 this time were Zhuo Ziyuan, he would probably have to kneel in front of Zhuo Ziyuan and sing to conquer. It was just a misunderstanding caused by a young man's disobedience. Is it necessary to fight so hard? Isn't it okay to admit my mistake?

Unfortunately, he could not know this, so he was destined to have to come to an end in ignorance.

The good news from 361 is not only alarming the Internet industry. On January 4th, at 8 am, Zhiyuan officially announced that the number of installed users has exceeded 15 million, accounting for half of the entire anti-virus software market. Now even the investment industry can't sit still. The concept of the Internet is an advanced concept, a concept that can be hyped at will. Ordinary people don't understand the specific profit methods of the Internet at all. The market value of the Internet companies is not their profits, but their users. What is the concept of 15 million users? Three years ago, the number of Penguin users was also this number. At that time, they were not profitable. And during the Internet crisis, its valuation still exceeded 50 million US dollars. Now, the Internet

The crisis has become a thing of the past, and the concepts related to the Internet have been hyped up by the capital market. Moreover, those with discerning eyes can definitely see that the number of users of 361 will definitely not be just this data. This is only three days of data. If other antivirus software manufacturers cannot keep up with this free strategy, 361's market share will only become larger and larger. If the functions of 361's antivirus software can keep up, then the 90% market share can still be imagined. More importantly, China's Internet users increased by more than 30% in 2003. If they continue to grow at this rate, they can double in two or three years and exceed 100 million in five years. It is already conceivable how much profit such data can bring to the capital market.

As for the risk of breaking the capital chain, haha, capital investors will not consider this issue. They are optimistic about 361, so they are eager for the company's funds to break. They can increase their investment, get more company shares, increase their voice, and seek greater capital returns.

Therefore, the current 361, or Zhiyuan Technology, is a big fat fish in the eyes of the capital world.

So, one by one, I called Liu Bin's phone. Unfortunately, Liu Bin could not be the leader in such capital cooperation, and he also knew the idea of ​​Zhuo Ziyuan, which was to refuse all capital cooperation. He knew more or less about Zhuo Ziyuan's financial strength. Anyway, since he followed Zhuo Ziyuan, he seemed to have never worried about money. If there is such a boss, do you still have to pay attention to those capital parties? Whether it is international investors or domestic capital markets, Liu Bin refused in one sentence.

In the end, he was too lazy to talk to others. When talking about financing, he directly said, "The company is not short of money." After refusing, he hung up the phone directly. As for those who have to offend, he is not the boss anyway. He doesn't care about the attitude of these investors towards him. What can these investors do to him? However, this phone incident made Liu Bin, an IT man, think of an important thing. It's time to find a secretary. At least such a phone call can be handed over to the secretary in the future.

The hot money from all parties who were turned away from Liu Bin naturally would not give up. They tried every means to find the boss in the distance, the CEO He Xia, who was now in the open, but in the end they could find only He Xia's secretary Yang Yue. In the end, in desperation, they left a bunch of business cards for Yang Yue.

In the minds of these hot money, there are no ones who do not go public. Since they want to go public, they certainly need more investors. Otherwise, the conditions for listing are not met. Not only that, which company does not need strong assistance from investors. This is the ability that their capital is best at. Therefore, they left their business card with this mentality, hoping that one day in the future, this is the mysterious CEO will think of them and can take the initiative to come to them. Although they know that with the attitude of today in the distance, the possibility of actively looking for them in the future should be very small, but this is at least an opportunity. Businessmen will never waste any opportunities. Then again, even if they still take the initiative to come to their doors in the future, they can at least say one more thing, "On one day in a certain year and month, I visited your company. When you were not here, I left a business card. You are busy with noble people and may not pay attention." At least you can get it.

These people wanted to go to find the boss, but this Yuanfang Group was too mysterious. No one knew who the boss was. At present, these people were not fools. Of course, they also went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to check the basic information of Yuanfang. Unfortunately, they only found Zhuo Ziyuan, the legal representative. But the problem is that there are many people in the country who have this name, so where can I find Zhuo Ziyuan?

Zhuo Ziyuan and He Xia, who were beyond their reach, were now sitting steadily on the ox cart heading to Shankou Town. Of course, I felt safe, but it was a different story to say that this ox cart was sitting steadily or not.
Chapter completed!
