Chapter 16: Movements of the Parties
Xiao Ke's spread is accelerating. With his cute appearance, seamless human-machine dialogue, and incredible virus killing effect, with the lowest membership price of only ten yuan per month, Xiao Ke can fight to become a god.
However, the market is only so big, and the emergence of Xiaoke has delighted the public, but has put some companies in dire straits.
361 company headquarters, conference room.
Half an hour after Xiao Ke was released, all executive shareholders came.
This caused a sudden change in the atmosphere in the company. Everyone was cautious, fearing that they would be caught out if something went wrong.
The roars coming from the conference room also made people in the company panic.
"Why should I feed you? Ah? It's been a month, a month, and now you're telling me that you don't even have the most basic cracking direction?" The speaker was Zhou Hongwei, chairman of 361 Company.
It has been a month since the launch of Lightyear Accelerator. He has been paying attention to this software and wanted to purchase it. However, the developer of Lightyear Accelerator refused without even asking about the price. He had no choice but to learn about it.
The Lightyear accelerator did not have a registered patent. I thought that the Lightyear company was negligent, so I asked the company's programmers to crack it.
It started once every three days, then once a day, and now Xiaoke has released it. The terrifying performance made Zhou Hongwei, who has a keen sense of smell, start to panic.
"I'm sorry, Chairman, many people are trying to crack this Lightyear accelerator. It is said that foreign hacker alliances have also issued bounties for cracking, but until now, except for fake accelerator software, no one can crack this Lightyear accelerator.
The technical means of the accelerator are so superb!" The department manager of the technical department is also a technician and admires the person who developed this software.
Hearing that my own technician didn't understand the opponent's software, I was even a little impressed, and I started to get angry again.
"Okay, Xiao Zhao, please sit down first. Lao Zhou, please calm down. There are always ways to come up with solutions. Let's all brainstorm and discuss them."
The speaker was Tang Xingsheng, who started a business with Zhou Hongwei and was an old friend of Zhou Hongwei's.
Hearing his old friend's words, Zhou Hongwei smiled dejectedly.
"Old Tang, you don't need to enlighten me. You also know the current situation. The company's survival is now at stake."
Zhou Hongwei lay on the chair a little decadently, sighing.
Tang Xingsheng had never seen his old friend so depressed. Even in the battle with Penguin Company, Zhou Hongwei was calm and commanding, and how could he look like he was completely defeated now.
"Lao Zhou, our 361 company was founded in September 2005 and has grown to become one of the largest Internet security companies in China. It has a leading high-level security technology team in China. It also has 361 Security Guard, 361 Antivirus, and 361 Security.
Browser, 361 Secure Desktop, 361 Mobile Guard and other series of products are well received by users and are the undisputed leading brand of network security."
Seeing Zhou Hongwei cheered up a bit.
Tang Xingsheng stood up and continued: "As of September 2012, the monthly active users of 361's PC-side products and services reached 442 million, and the user penetration rate reached 95%. It is one of the largest Internet security companies in China today.
Moreover, the total number of smartphone users using 361 mobile security products and services has reached approximately 149 million, accounting for approximately 70% of China’s smartphone security product market.
The number of monthly active users of 361 Browser is 303 million, and the user penetration rate exceeds 65%.
The 361 personalized start page and its subordinate pages have an average of 89 million unique visitors per day, and an average of 451 million clicks per day.
In August 2012, we 361 launched a search engine service with independent intellectual property rights, stably owning more than 25% of the market share. However, the full payment of Lightyear Accelerator only takes one month, and Lightyear charges a fee, and we are free.
If a customer is snatched away, we still have an advantage!"
After hearing his old friend's words, Zhou Hongwei was still feeling heavy.
"Lao Li, I understand everything you said."
Rubbing his tired brow, Zhou Hongwei explained: "Old Tang, Xiaoke, you have also tried it, do you think you will give up just because of the ten yuan a month?"
Tang Xingsheng was a little stunned but said nothing. He also worked hard with Zhou Hongwei, how could he not understand.
Ten dollars can improve the performance of your computer and mobile phone tenfold, reduce consumption, detect and eliminate viruses, free your hands, and be your own caring butler, allowing you to chat in real time.
Nowadays, many people are so busy that they have no true friends. It is too difficult to have a true friend, but Xiaoke solved this problem, which simply created a new era of the Internet.
The replacement of capital is always accompanied by the fall of old capital. Didn’t our own 361 step on their corpses to rise to power?
How much market share does the former Kingsoft and Rising still have now?
And this Lightyear company is like a tiger, running into the territory of the Internet. It is just like other anti-virus software, irresistible. Although it can give up anti-virus software, is 361 still 361 without anti-virus software?
And the conference room fell into an eerie silence.
"We can't wait any longer like this. If we wait any longer, we will be dead. Since we can't fight, we can only cooperate!"
Zhou Hongwei made the decision, and Tang Xingsheng also agreed.
Both the first shareholder and the second shareholder agreed, and the others had no objections. Everyone knew that 361 was at a crossroads, and if one were not careful, it would lead to destruction.
At this time, Zhou Hongwei's personal secretary hurried in.
"Chairman, it's bad, the company's stock price has already dropped to the limit at the opening!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked. The stock price is related to their own property. Without the stock price, their worth would be worthless.
At first glance, everyone felt a little sad. The stock prices of anti-virus software all fell to the limit, and the technology sector was all green.
"No, we can't wait any longer. Let's notify the company's legal department and technical department heads to go to Lightyear Company with me. Let's go meet this Lightyear Company!"
Just when Zhou Hongwei couldn't wait to go to Lightyear Company, many companies elsewhere were making decisions.
Some, like Zhou Hongwei, decided to cooperate, while others planned to fight to the death.
The chairman or president of a series of anti-virus software such as Penguin, Tinder, Kingsoft, Rising, Cheetah, etc. led the company's elite team to rush to Lightyear Company.
Some foreign companies, such as Kaspersky, BitDefender, Norton, Xiaohongsan and other internationally renowned anti-virus software companies, also hired Asian presidents or executives to lead their company teams to Lightyear Company.
Immediately, under the stunned expression of the reception department of Lightyear Company, they accepted invitations to visit from more than thirty of the world's top anti-virus companies, and their company also officially announced its schedule to visit Lightyear Company through official channels.
The media that received the news also sent out interview applications. There were more than 300 initial interview units, including many domestic heavyweight media such as CTV and Renren Daily, and even foreign media such as Reuters and AP.
Lightyear Company also agreed to the other party's request and welcomed it on its official website and scarf together with Chu Feng.
This made the Chinese people very happy.
When did a company become so awesome? The list here is all the top anti-virus companies and news media at home and abroad. The official WeChat accounts of Chu Feng and Guangnian Company even posted 999+ comments.
Zheng Yun was even more excited and came to discuss with Chu Feng in person how to receive these domestic and foreign guests.
"Don't be too excited. They are begging us. We just need to do a good job in reception and don't embarrass ourselves."
Chu Feng was not surprised at all. If they didn't come, Chu Feng would really look down on them. In an era when technology is king, with so many technologies ahead of them, if they can't see clearly, why would they still exist?
Chu Feng directly asked the company to set up a place to receive customers at the famous Haiyan Hotel in Hailing District. There are guest rooms and a large conference hall, which can be used to receive customers.
Haiyan Hotel learned that Lightyear Company arranged meetings and receptions here, and immediately started preparing for the reception.
