By the time the establishment of Baidu Technology had progressed almost completely, Pei Mohua's Qihoo Technology had made a new move.

Qihoo Technology issued a notice on its official website and through 360 Antivirus and 360 Computer Optimization, announcing that 360 Computer Optimization and 360 Antivirus will no longer be updated.

This caused an uproar among netizens online, and although Qihoo's products are free to use, there are still people who want to ask for an explanation, but more users want to know what is happening to Qihoo Technology.

The outside world has speculated that Qihoo 360 has broken the capital chain due to its lack of revenue, or the investors behind it have withdrawn due to the impact of the bursting of the Internet bubble economy.

The happiest are naturally Kingsoft and Ruixing, if 360's antivirus and computer optimization are not updated, the world that originally belonged to them will return again.

For this reason, they also spread rumors on the Internet, spreading rumors that Qihoo 360 is trying to use it to turn their software into a fee, and they have been playing tricks on users before.

For a while, the Internet was very noisy, and many people were expressing their opinions.

"I'm so disappointed, I liked 360 very much, but I didn't expect him to stop updating. ”

"Me too, I guess I really don't have any money. ”

"Didn't someone say they wanted to charge for it? I was disgusted, I wouldn't have said anything if I had charged for it in the first place, but I promised to be free for a few years, and before a year had passed, it became a fee and deceived my feelings. ”

"There's no need to be so excited upstairs, it's not like the official hasn't issued the latest notice yet, and it's not too late to wait for the notice to come out. ”

For the rumors on the Internet, Pei Mohua naturally knows, this is also his purpose, Qihoo 360's recent popularity has dropped, and now he wants to make 360's popularity rise again, paving the way for the next step.

The next day, Qihoo 360's official website and all its software pushed a message saying that Qihoo Technology had released a new product, 360 Security Guard.

The 360 Security Guard service covers the previous anti-virus features, PC optimization features, as well as the addition of system repair features, file recovery features, and software manager features.

And the most important news is that 360 Security Guard will enter the permanent free mode!

The system repair function is mainly used to patch and repair the system bugs that have been discovered.

Nowadays, the pirated system in China has begun to flood, and there are many vulnerabilities in the cracked system, and it is impossible to obtain the installation patches pushed by Microsoft.

The file recovery function is relatively advanced in the level of Internet technology in China, in the past, if you want to recover files, you don't need to spend a lot of money on a professional organization, but now this function of 360 is free.

There is also the most important software steward, who covers the most popular software in China, and provides users with downloads through strict audits.

Qihoo has also carried out important publicity and promotion for the main functions above.

This news has brought 360, which is already a hot topic, to a higher level, and almost every forum has netizens discussing 360's initiative.

"360 really didn't disappoint me, I said that 360 was charged before, but now I guess I'm slapped in the face, right?"

"I'll give full marks for this wave of operations!"

"The new features are very powerful, I have left Rising and joined the 360 army!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

"360 this software steward advertised that the software inside has passed strict audits, and there will be no Trojan software infringing on our computers, I just went to search for a rogue software, and there is really no one in it, it is too powerful?"

"It's all very good, I love it!"

Netizens unanimously agreed that 360 Security Guard is powerful, and the original users have installed and upgraded it.

And some of the original nail households of Jinshan and Ruixing also defected and joined the 360 army.

In less than two days, 360 has reached 30 million active users, surpassing Rising to become the most used antivirus software in China.

And through the continuous dissemination of netizens and the attraction of 360's excellent functions, the number of users is still growing.

Qihoo Technology's office is full of red faces, and their faces are full of joy, and they are proud of their company's achievements.

As 360's rival companies, the offices of Jinshan and Ruixing are a gloomy fog, like a mourning exam, everyone is running around to deal with the treatment plan conveyed from above, but with little success.

Huang Tianhai, the former CEO of Kingsoft, did not escape this time.

He was ousted from power by the directors who had suffered a lot of losses, expelled from the company he personally founded, and became an ordinary shareholder without voting rights!

Alas!

The former chairman of Jinshan urgently became the CEO of Jinshan, and was silent with the sensible in the conference room, trying to discuss a response plan but not knowing where to start, and there was no good plan for discussion, so he fell silent for a while.

Huang Tianhai finally didn't hold back, "Now the general trend has gone, Qihoo 360 is no longer unstoppable, if we want to keep the company, we have to be like 360 and announce that it will be free forever." ”

"Are you crazy, how can we make money without fees?" a shareholder looked at Huang Tianhai angrily.

Huang Tianhai didn't speak, he knew that they couldn't listen to his words anymore.

"Now the company has less than 10 million users, and if we don't solve it, we will lose all of them.

Without users, the meaning of our fees does not exist, I think we can consider Director Huang's suggestion, Kingsoft also implements a free policy. ”

The new CEO still has brains, and he also approves of Huang Tianhai's approach.

"But our loss will not be small. "There are still directors who are reluctant to do it for free, and in their opinion, they can't do business without making money.

"If the users are gone, then we are gone, he Qihoo 360 dares to be free, there must be his means of profit, our heritage is there, and he will spend it!"

In the end, Kingsoft's board of directors decided to follow Qihoo 360 and implement permanent free use of the software, and also merge computer optimization and anti-virus software, and change the name to Kingsoft Butler.

At the same time, Ruixing also made the same move, in order to retain users, they also took the same response as Kingsoft and launched Ruixing Butler.

The news sent by the two companies almost at the same time shocked the domestic Internet, and the compromise between Kingsoft and Ruixing marked that Internet products will move closer to the direction of free.

Netizens began to cheer, and at the same time highly praised Tencent QQ and Qihoo 360 for making a free debut.

"Tencent QQ has made instant messaging software free, Qihoo 360 has made antivirus software free, and the two companies are really similar. ”

"As far as I know, the relationship between Qihoo and Tencent's office buildings is that of the upper and lower floors, and you see, Qihoo's 360 security guard is free of charge, and the condition is to log in with QQ mailbox.

"Upstairs seems to be close to the truth, I think the owners of the two companies must have something to do with each other, maybe they are partners or relatives or something. ”

YY has indeed suffered a lot of impact, their users have been falling since the 360 security guard was released to claim that it is free, and some of the users who have fallen have flocked to QQ.

But they don't have a good way to retain them.

Recently, they've racked their brains to keep their current users in order, and it's better to let them find a way to throw them into the river.

YY can't always tell Qihoo: Brother Qihoo, don't use QQ users to register, use our YY instead!

It is estimated that people will be fools to be YY, and Qihoo knew that they had a leg in the previous battle with Jinshan Ruixing, and you want to break up others as a third party?

You can also go and tell Kingsoft or Ruixing, let us YY also enjoy the same QQ ride.

But the idea is good, but people won't let you get in the car.

People's users are bound to personal information for deduction, why do you have to make a bunch of things out of thin air to increase user trouble, Kingsoft and Ruixing think that their users are not fast enough?

Therefore, YY, who has no door to enter the sky and no way to enter the ground, can only wait in a hurry.

"Boss, your move is really amazing. ”

Ding Yuqin praised Pei Mohua from the bottom of her heart, and had to admit that she didn't expect Pei Mohua to hide in Qihoo before.

The news that Qihoo 360 is permanently free is only known to the people who were at the meeting and a few other people, so Ding Yuqin is also not clear.

"At the beginning, 360 was going to go forever for free, but if I had done this from the beginning, it was estimated that I would have been frantically chased and intercepted by the two families, and there would be no soil for survival.

And users will also have distrust because the product is free, so I arranged for 360 to be free for two years first, and then announced that it was free for two years, so as to eat away at Kingsoft and Rising users step by step.

When the time is ripe, he will try to see the poor dagger and announce it free in a high-profile manner, at this time 360 has become a climate, and no one can stop his rise. ”

Pei Mohua patiently explained his previous layout ideas to Ding Yuqin, and Ding Yuqin was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he realized that his boss was so scheming.

However, a man who is good at the art of war and kills people is attractive, and Ding Yuqin found himself looking up to this boss who he already looked up to step by step.

"So the boss's previous measures were all to paralyze the enemy and users?" Ding Yuqin asked with a smile, her eyes bursting with yearning and adoration.

Being looked at like this by Ding Yuqin, Pei Mohua felt a little embarrassed, coughed, and pulled Ding Yuqin back to reality.

"It's also to numb myself, I can't let myself be in a hurry in this matter. ”

If you want to hurry, you can't reach the truth, Pei Mohua still understands.

After he has the cheating weapon of the system, he will naturally be a little blind in his mentality, so he will underestimate the heroes of the world, so he will deliberately curb his steps.

The system also told Pei Mohua that his development speed has greatly exceeded the system's expectations, although the system did not say that this is a bad thing, but Pei Mohua is vigilant and cannot fight in this kind of thing.

Think before you act is Pei Mohua's current motto.
