293 When the boss and the second child fight, the third child wins! (Two in one)
A new moon hangs in the night sky, the lights in Sijiu City are starting to turn on, and the TVs in every household in the alleys in the south of the city are playing different TV series.
"No, it's art, art, art, art..."
"Art your mother's head."
"Yi, you are so big!"
The screen showed "Parental Love". Father Yang and Mother Yang were sitting on the sofa. No matter how many times they laughed, the joyful laughter filled the entire living room and stopped abruptly when the door clicked open.
"Mimi, is that you?"
Yang's mother poked her head out and saw that Yang Mi was wearing headphones, as if she didn't hear anything, and immediately called her daughter at a louder volume.
"You, you, you make some money and just run around all day long... You just bought an MP3 player last year, why do you want to buy another one..."
"Mom~"
Yang Mi took off her earphones and took out the script from her pink handbag, "It was Sister Hong who asked me to go to the company to audition. Dangdang, "Fifty Years of Golden Wedding", the sequel to "Parents' Love"!"
Yang’s mother’s nagging immediately turned into surprise: “Really?!”
"Of course, I'm still the protagonist."
Yang Mi trotted back to the bedroom, threw her bag and script on the bed, then eagerly connected lmusic2 to the computer, and changed the songs before entering the set.
Use Baidu Soba to enter mp3 search, and a window suddenly pops up during the download, asking whether you agree to install the 3721 plug-in.
“These annoying junk pop-ups again!”
She muttered and clicked "disagree", but all she got was windows popping up one after another. Unless she agreed, she would be harassed endlessly. In desperation, she had no choice but to be forced to install it.
In an instant, a bunch of plug-ins appeared on the desktop out of thin air.
"I'll take care of you after the download is complete!"
Yang Mi curled her lips and suddenly felt that the webpage was inexplicably stuck.
One moment it was Baidu Soubao, the next second it was replaced by 3721's search assistant, and the next second a new Baidu Soba popped up...
The two browsers are at war with each other, with Baidu popping up a window and 3721 popping up a window. The sound of a mechanical sound of "dum-dang-dang" keeps popping up, and the left and right channels cycle.
"What's going on? What's going on!"
Yang Mi found that the computer was not under her control, so she quickly shut it down and stared at the black screen for a few seconds before daring to restart it.
Baidu Soba and other software on the desktop have all disappeared.
"What's going on! My computer is broken?"
Yang Mi immediately logged into QQ and heard various QQ groups chatting non-stop. One by one, the group members were discussing Baidu, 3721's crash, forced deletion, and crash...
[Holy shit! Please tell me how to delete 3721. No matter how you delete it, you can’t delete it cleanly. It’s harder to flush than feces stuck in the toilet]
[Disgusting and apt metaphor, I also ask for a way to delete 3721. I have uninstalled it more than ten times and still can’t remove it completely]
【3721, Baidu lacks great virtue!】
【……】
[3721 and Baidu are both rubbish, Sogou is better, it is worry-free and safe, and there are not so many moths! 】
Among the dense messages, some praised Baidu and disapproved of 3721, and some supported 3721 and scolded Baidu. Sogou is the most popular.
Yang Mi's eyes lit up and she switched to Sogou.
While I was playing songs, I casually browsed the page and saw the "24-hour hot search list". The number one ranking was -
"3721 Shield Baidu Software".
The popularity is overwhelming "9 private companies obtained Class A TV drama licenses", 6 of the top 10 are about Baidu, 3721.
"3721 and Baidu, who is right and who is wrong?"
"The Godfather of Rogue Software Zhou Hongyi Plays Rogue Online"
"Is it all 3721's crime? There is no crime in Baidu?"
"..."
"Hey, they are all hooligans, and they are not as useful as Sogou!"
Yang Mi selected Sogou as the default browser, and then started browsing Tieba. The bar with the largest traffic volume at that time was Jay Chou Bar, with 212,000 members.
Just entering the interface, the voting screen at the top instantly came into view - do you think who is more reasonable in the battle between Baidu and 3721?
Baidu accounted for 53.3%, and 3721 accounted for 46.7%.
The atmosphere in the entire Tieba forum was tense. There were those who were in favor, those who were against, those who were questioning, those who were disapproving, and all kinds of demons were dancing around. There were all kinds of voices in the public opinion, but the two groups were the loudest.
Support Baidu and support 3721, the two groups are passionately fighting each other.
"On the ten deadly sins of 3721: 1. Bundling and installing one-to-three; 2. It looks like a Trojan horse and spreads Trojan horse viruses; 3. Snooping into user privacy... If both humans and gods are outraged, everyone will punish it."
"Aren't Baidu rogues? Tampering with the address bar of 3721!"
"Upstairs, I support you with both hands and three feet!"
"Baidu, 3721, laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps. Sogou users laugh at the dog biting the dog."
"We are both Sogou people, and we have a lot of fun. We can gather up 15 words to gain experience."
"Sogou users see..."
Neutral people continue to water their experiences and continue to eat melons. Dozens of posts are like articles of crusade, with words and writings criticizing each other. More than ten pages of comments were made in one go.
Yang Mi rummaged around and finally found a way to uninstall it. Friends recommended using Sogou’s latest Q&A service platform——
Q&A expert.
You can ask various questions for other users to answer, earn points by solving the questions, and then share the answers and knowledge.
The number one question on the top of the page is "How to completely delete the plug-ins of 3721 and Baidu Soba?"
The answer with the highest number of reads and likes reads:
"3721 is the same as some Trojans. The main reason why it cannot be deleted is the registry, and there are leftover residues in the folders. If these are not deleted, they are not deleted. They will grow like weeds the next day..."
Yang Mi followed the steps and deleted them step by step.
After a while, 3721 and Baidu’s overt and covert plug-ins were cleared, leaving a harmless Sogou on the desktop.
She touched her face, and suddenly an idea came to her. She knocked on the keyboard with both hands involuntarily, and asked a question on the "Q&A Master":
“How to prevent your face from getting squarer?”
…………
The third child, Sogou, is quietly making a fortune, the boss, Baidu, and the second child, 3721, may not have paid attention, or even if they did, they would have no time to take care of it.
The two sides have completely broken up and officially declared war!
Until the 6th, you and I were going back and forth, deleting each other's browser toolbars, and launching a public opinion war, slandering each other online and offline, smearing each other, spreading rumors, insulting each other, and starting a war of words.
Users on both sides are miserable.
Many people switch to Sogou, Tieba, Q&A, Encyclopedia, and MP3 search. There is always a product that can attract and convert new users and retain them as old users.
In just two days, Sogou’s user base surged by more than 300,000.
"Mr. Lu, Baidu, 3721's traffic dropped sharply, and they all came to our side!"
Zhou Feng immediately received the good news, and there was constant laughter on the phone.
"If you fight, you don't fight. If you don't fight, you fight."
Lu Fei was sitting in the office of Hailong Building, processing documents of all sizes sent by Tao Yao, especially Double Eleven. He was signing and listening to statistical reports.
The total number of Tieba users exceeded 400,000 without the support of QQ... Q&A experts responded enthusiastically, with an average of 533 new questions added every day...
After Zhou Feng finished speaking, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and put out 500,000 to 1 million RMB from the 15 million U.S. dollars raised from 15% of the equity.
Just like Feigou.com's one-yuan rush, it launched a "prize-based quiz" activity. Phone bills, cash, gifts, Q coins, etc. constitute a prize pool, allowing users to redeem points. During the tit-for-tat window period of Baidu and 3721, Sogou's
Increase the flow.
"Draw up a plan, but don't rush to implement it."
Lu Fei signed the purchase contract with a pen, "The show between Baidu and 3721 is about to start now, don't steal their limelight."
Zhou Feng's face was filled with doubts. If we don't fight now, then when?
Now is the perfect time. With 3721’s negative public opinion, we are absolutely sure to win the second place.
"It's not that we don't fight, it's that we don't rush to fight for a while."
Lu Fei is full of confidence. The boss fights with the second child. The reason why the third child takes the gun is basically because he is grabbing market share.
2k novel
The back and forth calls were nothing more than three tactics: market segmentation, mergers and acquisitions, and price wars.
Among them, price war is the simplest and most common thing on the Internet, such as Wanglaoji vs. Jiaduobao, and Meituan vs. Ele.me.
Spending money on subsidies, price cuts and promotions, forcing users to choose one of the two for happiness, Lao San has to step aside, and Baidu Waimai just disappeared.
But the competition among search engines is different. Otherwise, Baidu would not be able to do anything about the invasion of Penguin and Ahri. Even if Google was expelled by the government, it gave a dominant opportunity.
Zhou Feng was speechless, "What does Mr. Lu mean?"
"Let the bullets fly for a while."
Lu Fei made it very clear that the spat between the two sides has attracted a lot of exposure and attention. If the "prize quiz" activity is not launched now, it will be a waste. We must wait for the heat to subside.
"Best regards, Mr. Lu!"
Zhou Feng let out a rainbow fart sincerely before hanging up the phone.
Tao Yao, who had been silent all this time, handed over a stack of cooking oil purchase orders and finally asked:
"Mr. Lu, why do you buy so much peanut oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, and soybean oil? In fact, soybean oil is the most affordable and the most consumed..."
Lu Fei looked at each number as he did SARS medical supplies, and said quietly: "Have you not read the overseas news? The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced that the supply and inventory of soybeans are seriously insufficient due to weather conditions, which may trigger a soybean crisis."
“Soy Crisis?!”
Tao Yao's heart trembled, "Mr. Lu, can't you?"
"I hope not, but peanut oil is healthier and safer than oil extracted from genetically modified soybeans."
After Lu Fei finished processing the last document, he stretched his body and asked, "What are the arrangements next?"
“This Double Eleven, there are many brand manufacturers who want to cooperate, and some even want to treat you to a meal.”
While Tao Yao took out the list, the cell phone on the table rang with the ding of a text message.
Lu Fei saw that the sender was Li Yanhong and looked at the content:
Baidu calls for artillery support! Baidu calls for online media bombardment!
"Baidu spokesperson Bi Sheng told reporters that Baidu receives hundreds of user feedback emails every day, reporting and complaining that Baidu Soba cannot be used. After inspection, it was finally discovered that the plug-in of 3721 was causing damage, and it would automatically
Check to see if there is any Baidu stuff. If there is, it will be automatically deleted."
"Even if you download it through Baidu Soba, you can't install it normally. However, many users don't know the reason and directly complain about Baidu. As a result, Baidu's traffic has dropped sharply by 23% recently, and the economic losses have not yet been fully calculated..."
Under Lu Fei's care, Penguin, New Wolf, and NetEase were all fired up. Out of every 10 comments, almost 6 supported Baidu, 2 objectively popularized science, and only 2 supported 3721. The attention was not even as high as
A fraction of a hundred degrees.
Royal thug Fang Xingdong even performed "3721, The Darkness of Search Engines", which was crazy and rhythmic.
This situation and this scene are just like Yuanshen at that time.
There is only one Sohu 3721. How can it withstand the bombardment of media netizens? Zhou Hongyi is very smart and does not stick to his position. He moves to a new battlefield and spends 20 million yuan on advertising from Central Government——
"No matter what, it's easier to surf the Internet in Chinese", start the battle to defend the brand's honor!
Then Baidu did not publicly respond to the media, but used the major websites it had allied with to unabashedly accuse Baidu of firing the first shot. As a counterattack, as long as the software of 3721 is installed on the computer, Baidu will not apologize.
Want to run.
As the battle became more and more intense, I upgraded to prevent my own toolbar from being deleted by the enemy, and then deleted the other party's plug-ins.
Even when logging into a web page, two different dialog boxes, Baidu and 3721, pop up at the same time every time. You must download plug-ins, and they are seriously exclusive of each other. Often the pop-up window that pops up first will restrict the pop-up window that pops up later.
The industry was shocked, public dissatisfaction boiled, and they were nakedly forced to take sides, either 3721 or Baidu, you had to choose one of the two.
Netizens are not used to it, so of course they choose the third option and flock to outsiders' Sogou in large numbers.
For the rare first time, the number of visits exceeded 3721, and Lieying became the second largest search engine in the country. The first place was still Baidu. Although the reputation and traffic declined due to the quarrel, the market share gained from 3721 was enough to make up for the loss.
Only 3721 was killed and lost the city and territory. He suffered heavy losses. The key point was that his reputation was completely ruined!
Zhou Hongyi finally realized something was wrong. He watched helplessly as Sogou did nothing and made enough of the traffic that 3721 lost. He felt even more uncomfortable than losing money himself.
He contacted Mr. Lu and hoped to cooperate to fight against Baidu.
"Cooperation is impossible. Sogou will not cooperate with 3721, nor will it cooperate with Baidu."
Lu Fei said grandly, "As long as you don't hinder the normal operation of Sogou, we will remain neutral."
Zhou Hongyi said anxiously: "Mr. Lu, if Baidu kills 3721, Sogou may be next!"
"Boss Zhou, don't compete with hatred. If you compete with hatred, you will definitely fail. There are enemies in your eyes and enemies outside."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up, "The fun of competition is like playing chess. Whoever loses can come back again. Why fight to the death?"
“It’s not certain who will lose and who will win. Am I bound to lose?”
Zhou Hongyi remained tough on his words and refused to let go.
"Boss Zhou, do you still remember what I told you at Dajue Temple? Baidu has more technology than 3721 and has fully replicated the promotion and marketing that 3721 is proud of. What advantages do you have?"
Lu Fei raised his voice and said, "No!"
Two simple words, like "Huang Zhong Da Lu", were so inspiring that Zhou Hongyi, the king of words, was instantly silenced.
Lu Fei didn't want to kill the red leader. This person might have another use in the future, so he woke him up out of good intentions.
3721 is actually a marginal product, purely a special product of China Internet. Its development to a scale of over 100 million today is due to marketing methods and forced bundling, not technology.
Traditional Chinese search has long been outdated, and large-scale web search is the future direction.
3721 is at a disadvantage. It seems that the defeat is due to the forced plug-in and the loss of character. But Baidu did not do it, but the traffic loss was less than 3721. Sogou also increased its traffic. Not only in terms of search technology, Sogou and Baidu have already improved
3721 Dimensionality reduction attack.
In one or two years, if I really destroy you, what does it have to do with you!
There was no voice on the phone for a long time. Zhou Hongyi was deeply shocked. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit——
Mr. Lu, you are right!
For a while, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Dongdongdong, there was a rapid knock on the door, and just as he said the words "please come in", Fu Sheng ran in in a panic.
"No, Baidu is suing 3721 for malicious competition!"
"md, Li Yanhong!"
Zhou Hongyi's face turned red, and he was so angry that he shouted so filial piety.
