Although Li Yinhong didn't want to admit it, he was still afraid of declaring war with Liu Chen. The GB system's energy was too great. Even though Huadu is now the largest high-tech company with a market value in China, it was just a name. If the GB system was listed as a whole, it would not be known how much market value it would be.

The most feared thing is mobile Internet. Although the traffic of PC still occupies a large part of the current situation, the growth rate of mobile Internet is too fast. As an Internet tycoon, Li Yinhong can naturally predict that the trend in the next few years will inevitably be the world of mobile Internet. The GB-based Longba system has seized the initiative.

An emergency high-level meeting was held.

Ferry must seek partners again.

Li Yinhong had a very good opportunity, and he happened to find a partner, that is, Microsoft. With the popularity of iPhone in the United States, Microsoft's mobile phone system was almost killed and actively sought alliances.

Foreign media and various Chinese media are rushing to report, especially for Chinese media, this is a very long-faced thing.

[Ferry cooperates with Microsoft, built-in search]

For both Ferry and Microsoft, the achievement of Windows Vista’s strategic cooperation will be conducive to current complementarity and win-win results.

On July 24, Ferry and Microsoft reached a strategic cooperation in Seattle, USA. Ferry will replace Bing as the default homepage and search engine of Windows Vista I browser in the Chinese market. In addition, Ferry will also provide Windows Vista with common Windows applications for search, video, cloud and maps.

In fact, before this cooperation, on July 9, when Microsoft released the Windows Vista operating system simultaneously around the world, Baide became Microsoft's strategic partner for Windows Vista upgrade in China. The cooperation at that time was that Baide provided the update and download channels of genuine Windows Vista in the search service.

This time, Microsoft announced that it would set the default search engine of Windows Vista to Ferry Search, which is also the victory after the second round of the competition between Ferry and Yisou and Penguin.

Because Penguin and Yisou have closed the Windows Vista upgrade portal due to user system compatibility issues, only the Ferry side provides downloads of the Windows Vista pure version.

So, the question is, why is Microsoft willing to give up bing and set ferry as the default search?

Because under the strategy of Windows Vista's globalization, the Chinese market with hundreds of millions of loyal Windows users is undoubtedly a must-be won, but the development of Bing Search in China has always been difficult. Although Microsoft has spared no effort to invest various resources in it, Bing's share in the Chinese search market can almost be ignored.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Microsoft to introduce the strategic partner of Ferry.

For Microsoft, the achievement of this strategic cooperation can achieve the further popularization of Windows Vista in China with the help of ferrying massive user traffic and channel distribution capabilities. At the same time, by accessing ferry search, users can better attract users to use Windows Vista.

For Ferry, it can further consolidate the leading position in the PC search market. In addition, with the continued increase of Windows Vista's market share in China, Ferry's market share is expected to further increase.

Overall, for both Ferry and Microsoft, whether it is the current complementary and win-win situation or the future global interests, the achievement of Windows Vista’s strategic cooperation is a very meaningful step. It is excellent for the expansion of the ecosystem of both parties.

Li Yinhong's abacus is very good. His most fear is the absolute advantage of Longba system in the mobile terminal, and the PC terminal is still the world of Microsoft. As long as the PC terminal is stabilized, he can be invincible. As for the mobile terminal, he does not have a good strategy at present, and it is too late to develop mobile phones. Moreover, the market share is completely monopolized by Longba, which is useless.

At this time, Liu Chen was making an appointment with someone.

I'm afraid no one knows that Liu Chen also invested in Zhou Hongyi's 360 company. At this moment, Liu Chen was talking about things with Zhou Hongyi.

Zhou Hongyi said: "President Liu, before, there were many domestic search engines, including Ferry, Haosou, Sogou, Zhongsou, and Bing, Google, etc. abroad. The competition was very fierce. Ferry gradually stood out in the years of competition and became the leader of China's search, occupying most of the search market, and even gaining an absolute advantage in the mobile search market."

Liu Chen took a sip of tea, nodded, and signaled him to continue.

"Even if Google returns to the Chinese market, due to usage habits and cultural differences, Google has been slow to beat Ferry in the Chinese market in a few years. However, due to the huge search market in China, Google can also gain huge profits. At present, the one that may replace the market left by Ferry is Haosou and Sogou."

"Speak."

"At present, Sogou and Haosou are very fierce in competition. Due to the similarity of business models, the competition between Sogou and Haosou is far more intense than that between Ferry and Haosou and Ferry and Sogou. At present, Haosou has an advantage, but because Sogou has received investment from Penguin and the inclination of various resources, it is very likely to catch up with Haosou and Ferry to finally form a situation where two strong rivals Ferry compete for the hegemony, but they are only qualified to challenge Ferry.

“Where is the mobile terminal?”

"The current huge market share of Ferry makes it difficult for other mobile searches to go through. In the same mobile search market, there has also appeared Souba Search, which has occupied a certain market share with its channel advantages. Souba Search has grown rapidly with the help of the uc browser, but it is still very weak compared to the giant Ferry. The second is Souba. Souba has traffic diversion, which is known as the first browser of China's mobile browser, bc, and the mobile market share has increased rapidly. Since Souba's technical accumulation is far better than Souba Search, Souba is likely to have obtained the leading role of mobile search after the Ferry suddenly disappears."

Liu Chen said: "UC browser and BC browser are both industries under my GB system. Souba and Souba are just by-products. I will lead the merger of Souba and Souba and kick out the ferry from the mobile terminal. I think it is enough to dominate the search on the mobile terminal. What I need you now is to challenge the ferry on the PC terminal."

Although Zhou Hongyi has always known that the young people in front of her are very powerful, she still underestimated it. She really doesn’t know how many industries are under the GB system. No wonder Mr. Liu dares to challenge Ferry and directly takes down. Previously, he felt that it was not realistic. After all, Ferry’s current market value is very large, and its stock price once challenged US$400, and its total market value also looks at 100 billion soft girl coins, which is truly the number one Internet company in China.

"The advantage of Ferry on the PC side is too great, and now it is built-in with Microsoft, so it may not make much sense."

Liu Chen looked at him and said quietly: "What is the meaning? What is the fear of Microsoft's vista system? It's just a piece of garbage. Launching this challenge, regardless of victory or defeat, is a huge opportunity for 360 company. I can't understand it?"

Zhou Hongyi was shocked. He looked down on him. Yes, Boss Liu was supporting him behind his back. What's wrong with challenging the ferry? The 360 ​​standard suddenly went up. Look, I dare to challenge it. It's impossible to win, but if I lose, I'm also awesome.

After he figured it out, he became a little anxious.

"Mr. Liu, what do you think we will do it right away, we will do it, we will be afraid of a ball."

On August 1, 2007, 360 Company officially challenged the Internet giant, the Internet giant, with its channel advantages, in the PC search market.

Li Yinhong smiled and said to his senior executive: "It's just a mantis arm that's a car. I lose on the mobile terminal. I admit it, don't try to get involved in the PC terminal."

In recent days, the battle between 360 and Ferry has become the hottest topic in the industry and is also nicknamed the 3b war.

Faced with 360 Comprehensive Search for the stealing ferry news, knowing, pictures, mp3 and other data, ferry response is very fast. Modifying the code leads to 360 Comprehensive Search for news, mp3, map and other vertical searches, the page is forcibly jumped to the ferry homepage.

360 also fought back, using 360 comprehensive search in 360 browser, clicking on the search results from the products under Huadu, and being directly taken to the web page snapshot page.

Li Yinhong made a public remark: The right and wrong of the 3b war is actually very obvious and does not require much profound analysis.

"The comprehensive search of 360 online, its news, knows that, pictures, mp3, maps and other data sources are all ferry, and ferry does not open crawlers to 360. Therefore, 360 comprehensive search is not allowed to openly use ferry search data infringement first, and ferry modification code prohibits 360 crawlers from crawling, which is also a legitimate defense."

Many netizens who are watching the fun want to know more about the final result of the battle between 360 and Ferry?

Why do 360 repeatedly provoke wars?

Some media summarized that 360 lost a total of eight lawsuits due to suspected malicious competition, slandering business rivals, etc. Some people said that every time 360 ​​entered a field, it was destructive, and wars would be raging everywhere.

Liu Chen invested in creating 360, and the definition given is destruction. 360 has always played the role of destroyer in the industry. Since it is a destroyer, it cannot obtain shares and users through normal means.

Li Yinhong responded quickly and jointly issued a joint statement with several companies to deny 360.

“Exclude industry disruptors.”

"The antivirus software that should be charged must be made for free, and then accuses Kaspersky and Norton of being unprofessional, thereby increasing its popularity; the browser that should rely on speed and experience for promotion, 360 prompts the user to be unsafe in the name of helping users with safety physical examinations, and then induces users to download their 360 safe browser and prohibits other browsers from running; the search industry that should rely on competing with technical strength to obtain the market, 360 must rely on crawling other search data and then puts a shell of comprehensive search."

"360 can always find reasons to convince users. All kinds of despicable acting skills are free to watch, and the browser is safe. It is not good for search engines to dominate. Unfortunately, users do not know that 360 is safe. 360 browsers are monopoly, and they rely on monopoly advantages to suppress their opponents. 360 can always make users feel like they are philanthropists on the one hand, and secretly load money-making products into user computers and secretly make money and ban competitor products from running. This is exactly the gene of 360. No company is a philanthropist. We do not disgust corporate profits, but hypocrisy."

The declaration of war on 360 is a righteous statement.

Zhou Hongyi stood in front of Liu Chen, touched her nose, and laughed: "Indeed, we are also trying to make money, but after all, we don't make bad money, so we have a bottom line."

Liu Chenxin said that if I hadn't occupied an absolute share and kept grasping the direction, it would be hard to say whether 360 would do evil or not. His initial positioning was that Internet companies needed 360, and they never said that they had invested in 360. Even the executives of the GB system did not know that it was considered to leave an opponent for the increasingly large and monopoly GB system. Fixing the wrong direction required competitors and saviors.

"Have you read the news?"

Zhou Hongyi nodded, "I am most concerned about news and public opinion. After all, our reputation has always been very bad, so I don't care. As long as the users trust it."

Liu Chen looked at it seriously.

"Search engine wars are not that kind of public relations wars or war of words. Search engines are the products with the highest technical content. Soso, Sogou and others have invested huge amounts of money to develop for many years but still cannot become the mainstream of search. 360 hopes to use its channel advantages to directly use ferrying. Google's existing search technology does its own business. Although it can quickly gain traffic and share in the short term, once it is ferrying, Google bans 360's comprehensive search to crawl data, then its search engine will become a false idea."

"360 may rely on its security. The terminal advantage of the browser blocks the ads of ferry in the name of user search. Pressure the ferry advertisements to force the ferry to agree to be captured. Personally, although China's laws and regulations are incomplete, 360 still has some concerns. After all, looking at the past, 360 is a company with a bottom line. Moreover, ferry's strong brand awareness and share advantage, 360 simply relies on the advantage of entry. In this protracted war, 360 did not take the initiative. I borrowed a sentence from Boss Ma: the interception channel is just an assassin, and the revolutionary one is the one who occupies the source."

"360 has aroused public anger and made enemies everywhere. When the Internet enters the struggle for industrial chain and open platform, the relationship between Internet companies is becoming interdependent and closely related. It is difficult for an isolated company to develop rapidly. Therefore, malicious competition based on abnormal means may have effect in the short term. However, 360 is only 2 years old and still has a long way to go. I believe that a company with sustainable development must have a normal business model, honest and tolerant."

After reading it, Liu Chen said, "It seems that public opinion has turned toward the ferry."

Zhou Hongyi said indifferently: "That must be Li Yinhong spending a lot of public relations fees. We 360 ​​never care about being scolded and saved a lot of advertising fees. As for the same thing, as long as the users trust our products and bring benefits to the users, then you are not afraid."

"We will definitely lose this 3B war, and the dominance of Ferry on the PC side cannot be shaken."

"It's true, but our goal has been achieved, and it's still Mr. Liu who is still good at it."

Liu Chen glanced at him and said seriously: "You are wrong. My purpose is to kill the ferry on the PC end and make this company completely ruined. I want to let the ferry fall from a market value of 100 billion to less than 10 billion."

Zhou Hongyi widened her eyes in surprise, thinking that Liu was not crazy. How could this be possible? Now that Wandering has lost the mobile terminal, the stock price has indeed dropped. However, when working with Microsoft, the PC terminal will not be affected, and even the share will increase, which has squeezed other PC terminal searches to death, and the stock price has risen back.

"It seems that you didn't read the news carefully. There is a saying that is very true. The interception channel is just assassins, and the revolutionaries occupy the source. Next, we must occupy the source."

Liu Chen said it firmly.
Chapter completed!
