Chapter 67 Pixel-Level Replication
Liu Cheng looked at the brutal twin treasures on the stage and sighed heavily. What should be come is still here.
The 3Q war that spans the century officially kicked off.
Liu Cheng was not tired of the Qihoo company, although they were competitors.
2010 is the dividing line between the old era and the new trend for the Chinese Internet.
This year, Qihoo, which controls nearly 400 million computer users, and Penguin, which controls 650 million monthly active users, officially started the war.
Zhou Hongyi is very similar to Dongge from JD.com, both of whom are ordinary people without any background.
They were really poor and poor at the beginning of their business.
Before the 3721 Assistant was released, Zhou Hongyi was the deputy director of the R&D center of Founder Group and the general manager of the business department. However, he quitted from Founder naked and started his business with the support of his wife.
When Zhou Hongyi launched the 3721 assistant, she rented a two-bedroom house in the urban-rural fringe area of Haidian District, and started her entrepreneurial journey with two generals.
At that time, Zhou Hongyi also worked as a part-time chef, and Zhou Hongyi was responsible for the meals for the three of them.
In 1998, the 3721 Assistant was officially launched. Before that, when people visit the website, they must remember the domain name of the website.
After the 3721 Assistant plug-in is released, users can directly go to the corporate website or find company and product information without remembering complex domain names.
Google was just founded at that time, and Baidu would not be founded two years later. Zhou Hongyi realized the need to access websites in Chinese in 1998.
3721 became the only company in the Chinese Internet field in 2001 and achieved profitability.
More than 60% of computers in China have installed 3721 plug-in, and more than 300,000 enterprises have registered their real-name online in 3721, making it easy to access.
Yahoo then acquired 3721 for US$120 million. In 2003, Baidu, one of the three giants, had a valuation of only US$100 million.
At the beginning of 2008, the 3721 plug-in was still expanding wildly, with more than 4,000 channel partners in the entire Greater China region.
In 2009, the 3721 building collapsed and ended abruptly.
Because Zhou Hongyi and Yahoo broke their faces, he founded Qihoo, launched a security guard, and killed 3721, which he once raised.
Now, the battle between Zhou Hongyi, which holds 400 million installed capacity and 650 million monthly active users has officially begun.
"There is a manga that has been serialized for a long time, the ninja story of the Hidden Village of the Fire Country. The teachers of the protagonists in this manga are called Haki Kakashi. He has a trick, that is, the Maneidoscope Sharingan."
"The Sharingan is magical. It can copy other people's ninjutsu. Because it has copied thousands of ninjutsu, it is called copy ninjas, Sharingan Kakashi, etc., and its name resounds throughout the Kingdom of Fire."
A big penguin logo appeared on the projection screen in the center of the venue, and a huge laugh immediately broke out on the scene.
Because the penguin's logo's eyes are the Maneidoscope Sharingan, and behind the penguin is a large number of software names.
"We were once the largest leisure and entertainment platform in the world. In 2005, we had 200 million registered users, 15 million monthly active users, and the highest number of online users at the same time was 600,000."
"Since the Penguin Game Hall completely replicated our platform in 2003, our active users have been declining every day. Now, in seven years, it has been fleeting, and there are only 100,000 online users at the same time."
Lian Zhong's logo appeared and fell at the feet of the penguin, becoming a background board.
Liu Yinuo grabbed Liu Cheng's hand hard, and she was a little nervous. Why was their partner suddenly attacked at such a standard conference?
Will there be any hiding in the future for Kuway Information, which cooperates with Penguin?
Liu Cheng shook his head and whispered to Liu Yinuo: "In 2004, the number of people online at the Penguin Game Hall was 6.8 million, and the highest number of people in Lianzhong was not on the same level as the highest number of people."
Liu Yinuo was stunned and then understood what Liu Cheng meant. It was not that Penguin was justified in plagiarism, but that their partners were extremely powerful.
She turned to look at the stage.
Bao Shuangbao stood on the stage and continued, "Are we the only ones who suffer?"
"In 2005, Penguin Music fully copied Kugou Music. At that time, Kugou's market share was as high as 55%, and Tiantian Mengting 20%. Baidu, Xiami, Douban, and Google divided other market share."
"The year before yesterday, Penguin Speed went online, and the number of users of Karts suddenly decreased. Finally, in 2010, the number of people online at Penguin Speed exceeded 3 million."
"Haofang was unable to support the platform and eventually fell down."
Baoshuangbao showed a PPT with one, and finally said with a smile: "I recently resigned from Lianzhong and was preparing to start a business. I encountered something very interesting."
"Almost all investment banks will ask me two questions. The first is, will your product be copied by Penguin?"
"The second question is, what should you do if your product is copied by Penguin?"
The whistling laughter came again at the scene. The entire Internet senior annual meeting turned into a stand-up crosstalk-like special session, and the venue was filled with joy.
At this time, Brother Ma looked at the extremely jokingly swearing on the stage, without saying a word.
"I have only one principle to start a business now, that is, to only do projects that Penguin can't do, projects that cannot be done, such as medical devices and data storage. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to do the second one."
"I don't even dare to do anything related to water and electricity."
"Hahaha!" This time the laughter was no longer the whispers I had before, but the burst of laughter.
Liu Yinuo looked around with some strangeness and asked in a low voice: "What are they laughing at?"
Liu Cheng chuckled and explained: "Penguin's strategic planning is to make water and electricity for the Internet. This is their promotional slogan during this period, so they laugh."
"This is quite funny." Liu Yinuo nodded, understanding the funny points of these people.
But Liu Cheng looked at Brother Ma’s back and said with a smile: “If he can really do it, do you think this joke is ridiculous?”
Liu Yinuo stared at Liu Cheng with his eyes. This sentence shocked her to the extreme. How could it be?
"Okay, my speech ends here. I hope I will never encounter such a pixel-level copying opponent in the medical device sector."
Finally, a comparison picture of Qihoo Security Guard and QQ Doctor appeared. The picture is indeed pixel-level similar, because there is a typo on Qihoo on the promotional page, and QQ Doctor also has a typo.
Bao Shuangbao left the stage, and the last pixel-level copying picture silently mocked Brother Ma in the audience. He was surrounded by Internet tycoons of the same level as him.
