Chapter 160: The West Lake on the Sword
In 2002, the situation of multi-party scuffle among domestic Internet companies had not yet begun, but the pattern had already taken shape. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first to go public in the United States, Xinlang, Wangyi and other three major portals, although not yet from the 2000 Internet bubble that spread all over the world, but in the eyes of industry peers, it is a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and still occupies the first ladder of the Internet industry.
And a number of emerging rising stars such as Tengxun are not to be outdone, and have burst out of huge potential that cannot be ignored, and there is a faint tendency to catch up.
The first to show the future BAT triumvirate is Tengxun's little penguin, which is generally considered to have little technical content and has always been seriously underestimated.
Today's Baidu, is just a search tool, and is still providing search services for Sohu, Xinlang and other portals to earn traffic and service fees, so that its controversial search bidding ranking has been launched, but in today's era, there are very few companies that are really willing to spend money to buy a ranking.
In general, today's Baidu is more than enough defense and insufficient offense.
On the road to its rise, it has to wait for the launch of functions such as stickers, maps, and music downloads before it can be regarded as having a sharp weapon and forming enough combat power.
As for Alibaba, it has been a B2B model before, that is, a platform dedicated to providing trading for merchants and merchants, although there are also many online business users, but it is not good-looking, and the venture capital funds obtained in the early stage have already burned almost.
At present, the ambitious little brother Ma is estimated to have known the limitations of the B2B model, and has begun to aim at the C2C model, preparing to raise funds to build the future Taobao platform.
And the only one who has really achieved profitability and broken through strongly with the momentum of a dark horse is Tengxun.
Tengxun has tens of millions of users, with the mobile open platform, the launch of the mobile Monternet plan, caught up with the good time, has cooperated with China Mobile, Unicom, successfully let their own fat penguin settle in the mobile phone, become the biggest winner in the mobile Monternet plan, but also the earliest Internet company in the real sense of the domestic Internet company to achieve profitability.
Because he always pays attention to the dynamics of the BAT Big Three, Gu Heng also knows that in the past September, Ali's little brother invited Teng Xun's little brother and others to Hangzhou to hold a "West Lake Sword Discussion" conference.
West Lake on the sword, the name is so high, it is naturally impossible for Brother Xiao Ma to smash the signboard, and anyone will be invited.
It is said that there are five Internet companies that finally attended, all of which have a certain reputation in the industry.
They are Ma Huateng of Tengxun, and Zhou Hongyi, who has the father of hooligans and has been implementing the hooligan strategy, the founder of the current search tool 3721, and the father of the future 360.
In addition, it also includes the founders of the gaming platform Lianzhong, the job search website FutureFree, and the online travel network Ctrip.
The future prospects of the five websites are unknown to outsiders, but at present, they are all favored by the outside world, and are considered to be part of the second tier of Internet companies, second only to the three major portals.
Seeing the participating companies in the meeting from the newspaper, Gu Heng had a big embarrassment written on his face, which was quite ridiculous.
Ma Huateng actually went to the meeting with Zhou Hongyi, it's really a dog, these two people will be lifelong enemies in the future!
I just don't know if they still remember today's friendship when Teng Xun and 360 tore apart that day.
That's not the most dramatic, though.
The biggest highlight is the Lianzhong game platform.
For the founder of this website that started with board and card games, Gu Heng felt deeply unfortunate for him, who he didn't deal with well, so he had to go with Ma Huateng.
He shouldn't have thought that it wouldn't be long before Teng Xun would aim at his lianzhong and open fire, right?
Buckle game, a game community that imitates Lianzhong, seems to have been launched in the second half of 03.
Gu Heng couldn't help but maliciously wonder, was it because of this gathering that Ma Huateng had some unhappiness with the founder of Lianzhong, which gave him the idea of creating a buckle game to kill Lianzhong.
The West Lake discussed the pattern and trend of the domestic Internet, and in the distant Hunan City, Gu Heng looked at the newspaper and had already listed some of them as imaginary enemies.
Teng Xun is undoubtedly the most concerned by Gu Heng, because some of the projects he is about to launch will have a certain competitive relationship with Teng Xun in many aspects.
It's not enough for you to live or die, but if I take one more bite, you will have to eat one less, which is a predictable situation.
Gu Heng is burying his head in the development of Hengcheng Technology, if it can't break through before Tengxun develops the general trend, the future situation is not optimistic.
Tengxun's tens of millions of users are its foundation and its biggest reliance.
And Gu Heng's biggest advantage is his prophetic period, which is the knowledge of the domestic Internet trend in his mind!
Know yourself and know your opponent, and the enemy is dark and I am clear!
This gave Gu Heng enough confidence to make a more calm layout, seize a certain first-mover advantage, and snipe at Tengxun's development path.
Directly scare Teng Xun to death, and then replace him?
Gu Heng had this idea, and it was very strong, but he also knew that it was not realistic.
After all, Tengxun already has a certain climate, and if it can't snatch away its users, it won't be able to shake its foundation, and it will be impossible to kill it.
Therefore, we can only delay the development of Teng Xun as much as possible.
If the opponent takes a slow step and takes a quick step by himself, the gap can be narrowed little by little, and finally a close match can be formed.
Relying on the advantage of the prophet, the most effective method that Gu Heng could think of was to base himself on his own foundation and cut off Tengxun.
I have completed the initial training and started to enter the game planning department to test the waters, which is part of the plan.
However, Gu Heng also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the development of the game was not an overnight effort, all he could do was wait!
While waiting, Gu Heng was not idle, but began to prepare for another matter.
The payment platform has entered the R&D stage, and it's time to prepare to apply for the relevant licenses!
There is a way that you have the right not to use, and it will be invalid when it expires.
Now that the old man of Feng Jiawei's family is still in office, he and Feng Jiawei are still in the honeymoon period on the surface, and if they don't take this opportunity to step up some things that should be done, they really can't stand the relationship that they have worked so hard to manage.
In the past, Gu Heng wanted to find Feng Jiawei to do something, and he would be more or less hesitant, feeling that it was not good to always trouble others.
But now, his mindset has changed.
To put it nicely, we are allies, in fact, it is a relationship built up by the bond of interests, today I borrow your momentum, why haven't you gained something from me?
If it weren't for something else in my head, you Feng Jiawei would look up to me as the number one person?
