Chapter 195: Tencent and 360
Zhang Long's resignation from Tencent has brought some trouble to Zelianke, some legal provisions, compensation for Tencent's losses, plus compensation for Zhang Long's stocks, Zhao Zejun's promised 'garage work', etc., Zelianke spent a total of nearly 20 million yuan.
20 million is not much for Zelianke, but it costs 20 million to fight for a talent, which can be regarded as a shocking amount of money in the current Internet enterprises.
You must know that 20 million is not counting Zhang Long's personal treatment after that, it is just the price paid to dig him up.
Even if you go headhunting, hunt for a person at the level of the president of Microsoft Research Asia and the president of Motorola Greater China, the headhunting fee is only a few million.
This incident caused a lot of shock in the industry, if it weren't for the war between ZB and AT, this news alone would be enough to dominate the Internet industry for a long time.
In short, Zelianke's daughter bought horse bones, and Zhao Zejun's reputation for seeking talents was completely opened in the industry.
However, the industry has not paid too much attention to the 'WeChat project team' led by Zhang Long.
In these years, who knows WeChat? The real work of the project team is highly confidential to the outside world, and it is only very vague propaganda to the outside world, which is a communication software similar to mobile phone text messages.
This thing has been around for a long time, and many years ago there was even a wave of 'Internet phone', and then it ended without a problem, but generally large Internet companies will make a 'communication software' for their core products to facilitate internal communication between users. Ali's 'Ali Wangwang' is the most typical example.
The core of Zelianke is Weibo, Alipay and extremely related fields of business, before Zhang Long was doing Weibo mailbox, so the vast majority of people subconsciously think that this WeChat is something similar to 'Ali Wangwang'.
It is a functional product, but it is not an expansion project, and it will not have much impact on Internet companies outside Zelianke.
However, it was announced almost at the same time as Zelianke, and another product of Tencent is different.
"QQ Doctor, this thing...... Interesting. β
Zhao Zejun is in the capital, Lei Jun's office.
Lei Jun also uses QQ, there is no doubt that there are almost no people who use QQ in the country, and there are hundreds of millions of QQ users in the country.
The overlord of instant messaging software, this is also the confidence of Tencent to be proud of the rivers and lakes.
Lei Jun only operated it a few times, and then said: "This is an antivirus software, Tencent has had it a long time ago, about two or three years ago." β
Lei Jun worked in Kingsoft Software Company from a grassroots employee to the company's CEO step by step, leading Kingsoft to go public, and he is very familiar with Kingsoft's core product: Kingsoft Antivirus.
Strictly speaking, Lei Jun is very familiar with all antivirus software, including Kingsoft, and also 360, which had a big fight with Kingsoft and almost wiped out Kingsoft.
The QQ Doctor software itself is not a recent release, and has been around for a long time.
However, it was not alarmed before, mainly for the bugs of the QQ software itself to be patched, and the viruses against QQ were detected and killed, and no other aspects were involved.
This time, Tencent announced the launch of QQ Doctor with great fanfare, which sounds a bit inexplicable: a software that has been around for several years, what is there to 'launch'.
Tencent is launching a new version this time.
Updated, in the latest version of the feature introduction, there are a few more sentences that seem to be highly technological: "real-time detection of vulnerability patch effectiveness, intelligent prompting of patch problems, support background silent repair of vulnerabilities, convenient, worry-free, no harassment ......"
Intelligent,Tencent's main card this time,As long as the user installs QQ,When opening QQ,This version of QQ doctor,It can run automatically,To detect viruses and vulnerabilities in the background,And without the need for user operation,To automatically repair security risks,Block virus intrusionγ
"This method is too familiar." Lei Jun looked at the introduction, and suddenly sneered, and said: "360 is the same, under the banner of providing convenience for users, without the permission of users, to modify the user system without permission. The system is the bottom layer, so that as long as QQ is included in the 'blacklist' of products, it will be automatically blocked, and technically, it is completely possible to quietly cut off the possibility of other software access through the operation of some ports and system layers. β
Zhao Zejun asked with interest: "360 did the same at the beginning?" β
360 and Kingsoft grabbed the market, that was a few years ago, the dust has long been settled, and the 360 computer butler that came later has almost defeated all antivirus software manufacturers, including Kingsoft, and monopolized the market.
Among today's Internet companies, in addition to BATZ, Zhou Hongwei's Qihoo 360 is also a hegemon.
Talking about the competition with 360 back then, Lei Jun was still a little indignant despite the fact that many years had passed.
In hijacking users, kidnapping clients, and forcibly promoting these technical aspects, 360 is doing it, Kingsoft is doing it, and any antivirus software is doing it. But the principle of 360 is not to let other similar companies live.
General enterprise competition, is everyone by improving the product to seize the market, 360's consistent practice, is to directly challenge the bottom line of the biggest competitor, kill the competitor, and then to grab the rest of the opponent's market. At the beginning, what did Jinshan Poison Bully, 360 did it, Jinshan threw out the "three engines", 360 threw out the so-called "four engines", and it must be pressed against Jinshan.
Zhao Zejun was noncommittal about this grievance and did not comment on it.
First, he was not an eyewitness, but he just listened to Lei Jun's relay, Lei Jun's position must be on Jinshan's side, which is inevitably biased; Second, shopping malls are like battlefields, as long as they are legal and not reasonable, in order to achieve the final victory, it is not uncommon to use any strategy and tactics. Some companies are more moderate, while others are aggressive.
Several Internet overlords in later generations, none of them are good at stubble, whoever is disobedient will kill him, and whoever does the same thing as me will either buy it or smash it.
"In this way, Tencent is not ready to limit antivirus only to QQ." Zhao Zejun dangled the mouse, clicked on the new version of QQ Doctor at will, and said: "These functions look very similar to 360 Computer Manager." β
"Tencent, plagiarism started, plagiarism, plagiarism profits. Plagiarism is in its bones. Since you are ready to enter antivirus software, you must copy the most powerful 360 in this industry. Lei Jun said.
"Antivirus software is more than just about protecting your computer. Whether it is 360 or Tencent, it is necessary to control the terminal of the Internet and the user's computer by killing the soft. Zhao Zejun smiled: "Tencent's move is to grab the core market of 360, I don't know how 360 will react." β
"No matter how 360 reacts, it is a good opportunity for Zelianke, Xiaomi, and even Jinshan." Lei Jun nodded.
