The morning session lasted two hours.

The guests took turns on the stage, but the atmosphere of the scene was never lively.

To tell you the truth, there are quite a few wrists here today.

It doesn't mean that Internet celebrities are necessarily sought after in the circle, like Dong Qifeng, as the founder of the laggard, his influence even overshadows many successful entrepreneurs.

Another example is Dai Zhikang, in the eyes of many code farmers, his influence is more than Zhou Hongyi, the former is a technical master, and the latter is just a successful product manager, in terms of the core of the product alone, 3721 obviously cannot be compared with Discuz.

Chen Qiaoshan's goal was initially achieved, and under the stimulation of money, the concept of entrepreneurship was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Many people are thinking about financing, even if Zhou Hongyi comes to power, the effect is still not as enthusiastic as before, and as for the search he vigorously promoted, few people are interested.

The attendees were all insiders, and everyone understood that the search market was fierce and user awareness had been formed.

Unless you can get tangible benefits, no one will be willing to rashly choose a product that has not been tested by the market when the user's habits have been formed.

……

Although the Friendship Hotel is only a four-star hotel, it was formerly a guest house of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and places like the VIP Building are comparable to five-star standards.

The standard of the luncheon is not low, mainly to entertain the special guests attending the meeting, and it is located in the small banquet hall of the VIP building.

Chen Qiaoshan and Zhou Hongyi participated in this reception banquet together, the two did not communicate too much, there were many people, and it was not a place to talk about things.

At the end of the banquet, Zhou Hongyi took the initiative to come over.

"Mr. Chen, if it's convenient, why don't we find a place to talk?"

Chen Qiaoshan didn't refuse, he took the initiative to propose: "There is a café on the sixth floor, why don't we go up there and sit?"

"Okay. Zhou Hongyi didn't want to waste time, if it weren't for the search, he wouldn't have stayed until now.

The two were just about to leave the banquet hall, Tuo Xiaoxue suddenly walked over, she obviously recognized Zhou Hongyi, and the surprise in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

As a student of the Information Science Department of Peking University, she has heard of these big names in the Internet industry, but what she didn't expect was that Chen Qiaoshan would come together with these people.

The more contact she had, the greater the impact it would bring her.

Tuo Xiaoxue only lost her mind for a moment, and then regained her clarity, she said to Chen Qiaoshan: "Mr. Chen, there is an exchange meeting in the afternoon, and there is an entrepreneur forum, Mr. Liu just called, asking if you still participate in these two activities?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Let's put down the arrangements for the afternoon, don't look for me if there is nothing important." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Hongyi on the side was vigilant.

Through the speech in the morning, he had a new understanding of Chen Qiaoshan, he has money, ability, and vision, such a person must not be taken lightly.

……

Upstairs, the two found a private room.

Chen Qiaoshan asked for a pot of Tieguanyin, but he didn't rush to speak, but sent the waitress away and poured the tea himself.

When you go out to socialize, it is inevitable to have two drinks.

He knows very well that dealing with people like Zhou Hongyi without a clear mind, I am afraid it will be difficult to take advantage.

Chen Qiaoshan was not in a hurry to speak, but the other party might not be willing to wait.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that material in the morning?"

Zhou Hongyi was the first to open his mouth, he was actually like a mirror in his heart, the matter of a search was very simple, he took a fancy to this name, that's all.

With Yahoo's technical strength, doing search is the old business, and Google can't compare with the qualifications, and developing a search is naturally a piece of cake, without any difficulty.

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, Ming people don't say dark words, and the brand of Yisou's search is suspected of infringement, don't you deny this?"

"There is no problem with a search, we have the ownership of the domain name, and we have also completed the trademark registration and filing, and there is no dispute. ”

Zhou Hongyi naturally can't let go, he doesn't lose if he loses, even if he gets the handle, he is not willing to compromise easily.

"As far as I know, half a month before the launch of Yishou, a person claiming to be Zhang Qian contacted the owner of the 1SOU domain name and proposed to buy it. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qiaoshan stopped.

He glanced at Zhou Hongyi, and saw that the other party was not moving at all, so he had to continue: "And this Zhang Qian should be the general manager of your company's search business department, am I not wrong?"

The evidence was directly turned out, and Zhou Hongyi was also gloomy.

He insisted that it was a coincidence, and someone had to believe it, but a search was indeed a coincidence.

Doing Chinese searching, at the beginning, was strongly opposed by Yahoo headquarters, leaving its own mature brand unused, and creating a new search engine from scratch, which is neither economical nor professional.

Today's Yahoo is well-deserved as the world's No. 1 Internet giant, and Zhou Hongyi is now just a professional manager, and it took a lot of effort to convince those American devils.

However, when choosing a name, I also encountered a lot of problems, at the beginning of the search was set, Just, So, So, for a multinational company, "okay" is definitely not possible, and then a search was set, unfortunately, there are already search products with the same name on the market.

Zhou Hongyi didn't bother to explain the twists and turns, he said: "The reason why we called a search is because we took the initials of Yahoo, and there is no plagiarism." ”

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and didn't argue, but picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then said: "Mr. Zhou, you don't need to explain, this statement is not valid at all, it is better to say that it is derived from your name." ”

Zhou Hongyi's face became ugly, this sentence is very heart-wrenching, a search is a Yahoo brand, and it does not belong to him Zhou Hongyi personally.

This kind of gossip has also been heard in the company, and he didn't take it seriously, but even outsiders knew about it.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't know that he could hit it crookedly, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, he just said it in passing, but he didn't expect to hit the other party's pain point.

"Mr. Chen, since we've talked about this, then I won't talk nonsense, we have contacted the domain name holder of 1sou, but the other party does not respond to us, if you know the relevant situation, I hope to inform one or two. ”

Chen Qiaoshan was noncommittal, but he was slandering in his heart, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world.

He knows very well that this time it is a domain name dispute, and as for the so-called plagiarism and infringement, it is really not counted, but this alone is enough to search and drink a pot, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a strange thing.

"Mr. Zhou, I won't hide it from you, we have reached a preliminary agreement with the owner of 1SOU and are ready to buy it. ”

Zhou Hongyi suddenly burst into flames, "What are you going to do?"

How could he not be angry, if the domain name was in the hands of a person, maybe it would have passed, and if he came to the door, it would be okay to spend money to settle it.

Who knows that it will be so axial, and when it encounters a dead brain, it will ignore the temptation of acquisition.

Zhou Hongyi knows very well that once a domain name falls into the hands of someone with a heart, it will be a big trouble.

Even if Yahoo recreates a new search engine, the marketing cost is not a small amount.

As the old saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office, and a search is his first shot when he becomes the owner of Yahoo, no matter what, Zhou Hongyi can't watch the project die.

What is terrible, when I was careless, I knew that I would spend more effort to buy the domain name, and I shouldn't be in a hurry to bring a search to the market.

If the domain name really falls into the hands of Chen Qiaoshan, I'm afraid this matter will be troublesome.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I'm just talking about intentions, and I haven't signed a contract yet. ”

Chen Qiaoshan wasn't joking, when Wang Sifeng told him about it, he made up his mind, this was a rare opportunity, maybe he could make good use of it.

Zhou Hongyi didn't eat this, he asked bluntly, "What do you want?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "It's very simple, I want to cooperate with Yahoo China. ”

Zhou Hongyi scoffed, "You are ready to cooperate with us like this, you are blackmailing, I can't see any sincerity." ”

Chen Qiaoshan was unmoved, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, listen to me."

Domain name disputes aside, there is a lack of promotion channels for Yisup.

Yahoo is definitely impossible, everyone knows that a search can't compete for its own brand, and the portal is even more impossible, Sohu has Sogou, Sina's Aiwen, NetEase has news search, and you don't have a better channel besides that. ”

Zhou Hongyi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the person in front of him knew so much about the market, and dared to make accurate judgments based on speculation alone, just with this vision, it was no wonder that he dared to play tricks with himself.

Zhou Hongyi's mind was racing, but he might as well listen to what he had to say, "Then do you have any good suggestions?"

Yes, that's the way it should be.

Chen Qiaoshan leaned back slightly and adjusted into a comfortable posture.

Not to mention, this kind of old state-run store, although it looks a little old, but the comfort is undoubted.

Chen Qiaoshan's mentality was very relaxed, "Mr. Zhou, in addition to the portal, the best promotion platform for Yisouan is Kangsheng." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Hongyi was a little puzzled.

He knows Kangsheng, speaking of which, the two still have some origins, both have taken financing from JAFCO Asia, and their personal friendship with Zhou Zhengning is not bad.

But in his impression, Discuz is a forum system, or open source, a seller of software services, how can it be related to promotion?

"How does Kangsheng do promotion, is there a channel?"

"Mr. Zhou, Discuz has more than 80,000 installed users, do you know what that means?"

Zhou Hongyi was also taken aback, Discuz is not indos, a personal computer is installed with one, and the former is installed with a website, this data is a bit scary.

80,000 sites use Kangsheng's system, and if you can cooperate with Kangsheng, the conversion rate is only 10%, which is quite amazing.

Zhou Hongyi was a little moved, he didn't expect that Kangsheng had already achieved such a scale.

Even if a site has only a few hundred loyal users, Discuz has reached nearly 10 million netizens, accounting for almost one-tenth of the number of netizens in China.

With the development of the Internet, this number will continue to expand.

Thinking of the open source strategy touted by the media at the beginning, Zhou Hongyi had to admire Kangsheng's decision, which is almost viral marketing.

Once you can deepen the free market, such as installing a search for free templates, this is definitely the best channel resource.

Zhou Hongyi couldn't help but be a little excited, he forced himself to hold on, and he has been in the market for more than ten years, so he naturally knows that there is a gift to gain.

He stared at Chen Qiaoshan with burning eyes and asked, "What do you want?"

"It's very simple, I need Yahoo to help me divert traffic to my forum!" Chen Qiaoshan replied very succinctly, "Of course, it would be great if the two sides reached a strategic cooperation." ”

Zhou Hongyi's face turned green when he heard this, he didn't bother to ask what forum it was, the key question is, are you a Yahoo forum?
