After hao123 was acquired by Ferry, Lin Weidong felt a sense of loss.

Originally, Lin Weidong thought that after selling hao123 to the ferry, he would be much easier, but it turned out to be otherwise.

Because for several days in a row, Lin Weidong was thinking about what he should do next.

may be because he is getting older and often with Cheng Tianqiao, Lin Weidong is no longer satisfied with the state of being rich and peaceful, he is more eager to achieve career achievements than before.

Moreover, Lin Weidong also knows very well that the Internet will be the world of search engines, e-commerce, and social software in the next ten years.

However, in search engines and e-commerce, Lin Weidong feels that he can't play a little, and the only thing that is still possible is social software.

Early in the morning, Lin Weidong got up from bed, turned on the computer, and searched for Tencent's news, only to see that the registered users of QQ users had soared to 200 million......

"It's really fake, it has exceeded 200 million so quickly, and only a few people in China have gone online......"

If Lin Weidong is not mistaken, the current number of netizens should not exceed 100 million, and it may be that many people have registered several accounts.

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong couldn't help but sigh, and then silently lit a cigarette.

As soon as she took a few puffs, Liu Limin, who was lying on the bed and sleeping, was choked by the cigarette, and then sat on the bed, frowned, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you, let you not smoke in the room, you just won't listen." ”

Lin Weidong turned his head and looked at Liu Limin, who was wearing pajamas on the bed, revealing a tempting career line, and said with a smile: "Okay, senior sister, I know it's wrong, don't be angry, sleep more." With that, he walked from the room to the living room.

After smoking a cigarette, Lin Weidong suddenly became interested, and ran back to the bed in the room, wanting to make love to Liu Limin.

Liu Limin pushed him away with a look of disgust, and said, "It stinks to death, I don't brush my teeth and smoke, don't kiss me." ”

Lin Weidong hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go brush it right away." ”

......

Twenty minutes later.

Lin Weidong came to the living room from the room again, sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs, lit a cigarette and spit out the fog.

Five minutes later, Liu Limin, who had finished washing, came out of the room with a spring breeze on her face, and saw Lin Weidong smoking again, and couldn't help but reproach: "Weidong, I think your addiction to smoking has become bigger recently!"

Lin Weidong said disapprerovingly: "Is there any? It's okay, it's just more than ten a day." ”

Liu Limin said angrily: "More than ten is not much, so how many do you have to smoke to be too much?"

In the face of Liu Limin's reproach, Lin Weidong just smiled and didn't speak.

And Liu Limin thought of Lin Weidong's output on the bed, so she didn't say anything more, so she consciously went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

On May 24, the news of the acquisition of Ferry spread wildly, and it soon became the focus of the Internet conference, which also caused many speculations.

On May 28, a few days after the news fermented, the ferry company officially held a press conference and announced: "The ferry recently spent a huge amount of money, plus part of the equity acquisition of hao123, hao123 will be supported by the ferry, leap to a new level of development." ”

As speculated by the media, this acquisition is conducive to Li Yanhong to make the ferry plate bigger and open up the road to NASDAQ.

Robin Li and product manager Chen Lin of the ferry also accepted interviews with reporters in the press release on the same day.

In fact, the success of hao123 has greatly attracted the favor of many VCs to similar websites.

But there has been no similar website that can shake hao123's market position.

Chasing the reason, Chen Lin, the product manager in charge of hao123 at the ferry, used two "simple" to explain.

The first "simple", he said, is the hao123 simple page. Although it is so simple that followers are easy to copy, the popularity and reputation cannot be cloned, and some replicators only have their "shape", which can be regarded as "painting a cat and a tiger".

The second "simple" is the simplicity of user use, Chen Lin explained: "You only need to be able to click with the mouse, and you can easily access information. ”

In addition to Chen Lin, Li Yanhong also made his own evaluation of hao123: "Among all the websites in the website navigation, hao123 is the simplest, so simple that you can't surpass it, and it is this simple temperament that attracts the ferry." ”

"The most important point of the success of hao123 is that it has stripped away the technical color and mystery covering the Internet, so that ordinary people can easily access various resources on the Internet. ”

Therefore, for many users who are not familiar with the Internet, hao123 is the real portal, the entrance to the Internet, and their TV schedule. ”

In addition, Li Yanhong also said that although hao123 has been acquired by the ferry, Lin Weidong, the founder of hao123, still maintains close ties with the ferry.

Cai Wensheng lost sleep all night after seeing the news of the ferry's acquisition of hao123 on the Internet.

Because in Cai Wensheng's view, if it is just against Lin Weidong alone, what he founded will definitely have a chance to surpass Hao.

But now, after Lin Weidong sold hao123 to the ferry, Cai Wensheng has no confidence in him, and he doesn't know whether he wants to stick to it or not.

The next morning.

Before dawn, Cai Wensheng dialed Lin Weidong's phone number.

Cai Wensheng on the other end of the phone asked straight to the point: "Brother, did you really sell your hao123 to the ferry?"

Lin Weidong hadn't woken up yet, and he was confused for a while before he came back to his senses.

However, in order not to affect Liu Limin's sleep, Lin Weidong got up from the bed lightly and came to the living room.

After Cai Wensheng understood the situation, he determined that the acquisition of hao123 by ferry was a true fact.

"Weidong, you have something to say from your heart, do you think it's necessary for my brother?" Cai Wensheng asked nervously.

Lin Weidong thought for a while and said, "My opinion is, give up, you don't need to do it again, really, you can't fight the ferry." ”

Cai Wensheng is also very clear that the ferry is ready to go public, and after the ferry is listed, the number of visits and influence of hao123 will definitely be far behind all other navigation websites.

After thinking for a while, Cai Wensheng asked Lin Weidong in frustration: "Is there really no chance at all?"

Lin Weidong said bluntly: "I don't know if there is a chance, but I can guarantee that there is no way to surpass hao123 before, or in the future." ”

In fact, even if Lin Weidong didn't say it, Cai Wensheng knew very well in his heart that he was just a little unwilling to lose, he felt that he had invested a lot of material resources and manpower, but in exchange for such a result.

In the afternoon, after some deliberation, Cai Wensheng finally announced in the courtyard that the work team was disbanded on the spot.

However, Cai Wensheng was not depressed because of this, it is impossible for a smart person like him to hang himself from a tree, he will continue to move forward and find a new direction.

That night, Lin Weidong asked Wang Taoxin to go to a bar for a drink.

In other words, a few days after Lin Weidong sold hao123 to the ferry, Wang Taoxin's plug-in studio didn't do it anymore.

Recently, in this short period of time, Wang Taoxin has been busy decorating her new house.

After two glasses of beer, Wang Taoxin found one and quipped: "Weidong, why did you think of asking me for a drink today?

Lin Weidong said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense with me, let me ask you, do you still want to make money?"

Wang Taoxin hurriedly said: "I think about it, of course I think about it, Weidong is my fault, I shouldn't have talked too much just now......"

Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, Wang Taoxin then asked: "Weidong, say it quickly, you don't think of any good ideas?"

Lin Weidong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, it's not a good idea. ”

Looking at Lin Weidong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Wang Taoxin couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and asked: "Weidong, don't sell it, just say what you have, I'm about to die." ”

Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I said, I want you to do another hao123!"

Wang Taoxin was dumbfounded when she heard this, and looked at Lin Weidong incredulously: "Weidong, you ...... This...... You're kidding...... Another hao123, will this work?"

"You've sold hao123 to the ferry, can other navigation sites still have a way to live?" Wang Taoxin also expressed her worries.

Lin Weidong said confidently: "Believe me, there is definitely a way to live!"

Although Wang Taoxin has always believed in Lin Weidong's judgment, he also knows very well that after hao123 has the backer of ferry, it will be difficult for other navigation websites to catch up.

"Weidong, can you let me think about it? I think this is too difficult, how can we compete with the ferry, it's impossible......" Wang Taoxin couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Weidong patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Taoxin, believe me, our new website doesn't need to exceed hao123, we just need to be able to stabilize the second place." ”

Under Lin Weidong's patient persuasion, Wang Taoxin also seriously considered it for two days before deciding to follow Lin Weidong's suggestion and create a new navigation website.
