Shanda in 2009 was still very popular. In the entire Internet industry, Shanda at this time could compete with Tencent.
Baidu, Tencent, Shanda!
These are the three major Internet giants at this time. As for Alibaba, although it is highly favored by everyone, it is not as powerful as these three companies at present.
After confirming that this person was Chen Tianlu, Su Wang also revealed the identity of the person who spoke earlier. It should be Ding Sanshi from NetEase.
At this time, NetEase was also very prosperous, and NetEase was still one of the few that was still very impressive even later.
With these two big guys here, plus some other bosses in the Internet industry, it is no exaggeration to say that if a dynamite blows up this place, half of the entire Internet industry will be gone.
Su Wang was very young. Even though Chen Gege had previously said that he founded an Internet company, no one present took Su Wang seriously. A group of people gathered around Chen Sheng and began to discuss how to establish rules and regulations for the Internet industry.
self-discipline.
With the development of the Internet, all companies must have a relatively complete set of regulations. Otherwise, if Internet companies are allowed to develop in such a barbaric way, it is very likely that there will be detours and even cause dissatisfaction from above.
At the same time, everyone here has been involved in the Internet since its infancy. In the early stage, they were somewhat marginal in order to develop. They know very well that in the territory of the Internet, some marginal products will be very popular, so they are more
They are afraid that new companies will use this method to surpass them.
Someone once said that capital has no rules when it comes to conquering cities and territories, but when winners are born, they will establish rules to maintain their status.
This generalization can be applied to any industry, even including many dynasty changes throughout the ages.
Listening to the discussions among these people, which were even mixed with quarrels, Su Wang felt a little helpless. It is usually difficult to negotiate a perfect result in situations like this. After all, all parties have their own interests and demands.
Take Shanda for example. He accused Kingsoft of blocking an online game anti-virus game launched by Shanda, saying that Kingsoft's behavior was obviously deliberately targeted.
As for Kingsoft, if you are a game maker and you don’t make games well, what kind of anti-virus software will you come up with? What you talk about is software to prevent game account hacking and Trojan horse software. Who knows if you want to take this opportunity to enter the anti-virus software market.
In fact, from what Su Wang knows, Shanda has actually had this idea. With several popular games under its banner, it has launched a so-called game protection box. Players can download the protection box to scan their computers for Trojans.
If you download the software at the same time, you can also get certain material rewards in the game.
In fact, if he were the management of Kingsoft, he would also find a way to get rid of these softwares. Don’t look at the fact that they are just killing game account stealing and Trojan horse software, but who knows whether you will add other things later, get one
What about computer cleaning and acceleration, and what about our anti-virus software?
As for the other two old rivals, Kingsoft and 360, there have been constant verbal exchanges. After all, the two are mortal enemies, especially the entry of 360, which has greatly reduced Kingsoft's market share.
It doesn’t matter if the market share decreases. If you offer 360 for free, it will directly destroy everyone’s jobs. And if ordinary users don’t know what 360 is about, how about the people in our circle who don’t know?
"Society is developing rapidly, not to mention our cutting-edge Internet. Even without our 360, 720 will come out to subvert the anti-virus market. I can only say that your own ideas cannot keep up with the development of the times. Anti-virus software is free.
This is just a trend. Without our free anti-virus software, many netizens who are not familiar with computer technology would have to suffer the consequences of their computers being hacked, which would exclude more potential netizens from the Internet."
"Bah, what kind of good thing are you Zhou Hongwei? You call yourself so upright. When it comes to rogue software, who can compare with you? Don't you know how you got started? I guess Yahoo may even eat it.
You have it all in your heart.”
A senior executive at Jinshan couldn't help but mock Zhou Hongwei, and his words also made many people present smile knowingly. Everyone present knew Zhou Hongwei's fortune history. He can be said to be the originator of rogue software.
.
3721!
A very notorious Chinese real-name search plug-in!
The function of this plug-in is that users only need to enter Chinese to reach the website they want to visit. It does provide a lot of convenience to users. However, what is annoying is not its function, but its installation method.
Bundling, secretly installing...even developed to the point where even the user has difficulty uninstalling the plug-in. Moreover, when installing the plug-in, it will also come with several small plug-ins. After deleting one of them, it will be secretly reinstalled.
.
When there were only 86 million computers in the country, 3721 was a browser plug-in that occupied 60 million computers. It relied on this kind of rogue style.
But if this alone is not enough to make people doubt Zhou Hongwei's character, it is the latter two things that really make people question Zhou Hongwei's character.
In 2003, Zhou Hongwei sold 3721 to Yahoo for US$120 million. Zhou Hongwei then founded Qihoo in 2005 and launched 360 Security Guard.
When 360 Security Guard was first launched, its slogan was to allow users to scan all malicious software installed on their computers and uninstall the software with the user's consent.
In 2005, this function was naturally very popular. Zhou Hongwei's 360 Security Guard quickly occupied the market with this step. However, what made Yahoo angry was that after Zhou Hongwei's 360 Security Guard was launched, the most deleted one was 3721.
Plug-in, which is Yahoo Assistant.
After taking money from Yahoo and killing Yahoo's assistant, Zhou Hongwei's behavior was naturally despised by people on the Internet. This was truly burning the bridge.
But that's not all. Next, in order to promote 360 Security Guard, Zhou Hongwei found the chairman of Kaspersky China and persuaded him to let users download 360 and get a free Kaspersky anti-virus software activation code for half a year, which allows users to use it for free for half a year.
.
With this, 360's users grew rapidly, but Zhou Hongwei was not satisfied with this. While cooperating with Kaspersky, he also cooperated with Norton, and promoted that 360 does not make anti-virus software.
However, after accumulating a certain number of users, Zhou Hongwei made a big move and purchased the Xiaohongsan anti-virus engine to officially enter the anti-virus software market and began to kill the original partners Kaspersky and Norton.
In this way, Zhou Hongwei also claimed that without 360, Kaspersky would not have entered the Chinese market at all. The chairman of Kaspersky China was so angry that he directly wrote an open letter to him titled "Return to the Shore", which stated:
So in one sentence: I believe that businessmen should maintain two bottom lines: one is "integrity" and the other is "don't do evil"...
Therefore, in the Internet circle, Zhou Hongwei's reputation is very bad, so bad that he has almost no friends. Later, there were even 360 lawsuits against major Internet companies. As long as the famous Internet companies were sued by Zhou Hongwei, there were also the famous 50
A farce of losing streak.
In Su Wang's heart, he didn't have any good feelings about Zhou Hongwei, but he had to admit that this guy was like a fighter jet, and he would kill anyone he caught. Moreover, from now to the next five or six years, 360's life will still be very prosperous.
of.
The quarrel here continued. Chen Sheng frowned and couldn't help but said: "Everyone, I hope you can put aside your prejudices this time. My suggestion is to set up an industry association and everyone can join as members.
When the higher authorities come down to understand the situation of our industry, they can also learn about it directly through the association."
Chen Sheng's words silenced everyone present, while Su Wang's eyes flashed brightly. The Internet Enterprise Association, this extremely famous association in later generations, is different from ordinary associations. The rules of this association are very high, unlike ordinary associations.
Associations are more about getting together and chatting.
The Internet Industry Association has great power and can even influence the development direction of the Internet industry to some extent.
Su Wang understood the purpose of Chen Gege's brother in inviting these Internet bigwigs over. The so-called self-discipline and rules were all fake, and the purpose was probably for this Internet Industry Association.
After hearing Chen Sheng's words, Chen Tianlu, Ding Sanshi and others showed thoughtful expressions on their faces. They knew Chen Sheng's background very well, and also knew that with the Chen family's terrifying connections, since they would say this, they must have got it.
There is some buzz.
"If the industry wants to develop healthily, it must be orderly. Many things that were previously vague need to have boundaries. In order to prevent the good and the bad from mixing and being unfavorable to management, a license system must be implemented for many things."
Licensing system!
These five words from Chen Sheng shocked Su Wang and made many of the big guys present look surprised. No one knew what the license meant better than them.
A license means a certain degree of exclusivity, just like mining. A few decades ago, you could mine without a license, but now you must have a license. Whoever can get the license means that they have the right to mine.
Among the many short videos showing off wealth in later generations, isn’t there one showing the so-called mining license?
The news released by Chen Sheng made Su Wang a little surprised, because according to his memory, the higher-ups should have started to fully standardize the Internet in 2011. Now the time is one year earlier, and he doesn't know if it has anything to do with him.
relation.
Apart from the permit matter, Chen Sheng's next words caught Su Wang off guard.
