Chapter 236: Years of Painstaking Destiny

Zhou Hongwei asked this question very hard, but it was also very sincere.

But Zhao Zejun didn't want to answer Zhou Hongwei's question at all.

You don't have to be ugly about everything, Zelianke's strategic intention is realized, and that's enough.

Zhou Hongwei sat on the chair with his ass in his ass, and his mind was very messy.

Crying and crying, making trouble, the days still have to go down, one crying, two troubles and three hangings just to achieve the means of seeking attention step by step, I haven't heard of which one has completed the third step step step by step, and directly kicked the small stool, really hanged himself.

There doesn't seem to be any other way for 360 to go now than to accept the conditions.

As a non-listed company, Zhou Hongwei can indeed choose to resist hard and not accept the equity consideration, and now the anti-360 alliance has made such a big move, and the relevant departments will take action sooner or later, and when the time comes, the two sides will take a step back, or take the road of mutual compatibility.

However, according to the current rate of user churn, by that day, how many customers will be left in 360? Qihoo has his background and relationship, but no matter how hard the relationship background is, there is no way to compare it with Zelianke, Tencent, Baidu, Ali, etc., when the war stops, each digests the results or bitter fruits that have been achieved, and in the case that most of the Internet joins forces with Yang Fengyin and violates the whole and 360 as enemies, even if they are compatible with each other, where can 360 go?

The equity is preserved, but the overall value of 360 is gone.

Which is more meaningful for a company worth 10 billion yuan with 30% equity or a company worth 100 million yuan with 100% equity?

Moreover, after experiencing this turmoil, the management and shareholders have already revealed obvious 'emotions', if they continue to be the enemy of the entire Internet, every step after that will be extremely difficult for Zhou Hongwei himself, with internal and external troubles.

After some bargaining, Qihoo 360 finally won two favorable conditions on the original conditions: first, the two businesses of 360 browser and 360 antivirus will remain intact and independent, and second, the valuation of the next round of financing will be carried out by a third-party professional institution recognized by all parties, in accordance with the principle of 'high'.

Zhao Zejun nodded, his face did not have much joy of victory, but showed obvious exhaustion, got up and rubbed his temples, and said: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ma, let's have a good rest in the hotel first, from tomorrow, the three of us will probably be busy for a long time." ”

What has been reached today is only a verbal agreement of intent, and the specific details, various processes, legal provisions, etc., require one or even several large professional teams to conduct detailed discussions and determinations, and the enterprises involved are all Internet giants, and the workload is unprecedented.

It is estimated that until the Chinese New Year, these three people will be busy here.

Zhao Zejun is very tired now.

From the beginning of the year to the beginning of the layout, step by step to today, there are uncertainties and risks in every step, and he has to work hard. After being busy for so long, he finally reached a preliminary intention today, and he achieved his predetermined goal relatively well, he was also exhausted, and at the moment when Zhou Hongwei finally nodded, the whole person was relieved, and he especially wanted to sleep well.

It was not only Zhao Zejun who was tired, Ma Huateng and Zhou Hongwei also felt weak.

Throughout 2010, these two men spent the year in a fierce battle, encountering top opponents.

Standing at their height, there is no one to help them share the pressure, and no one can guide them to what to do next.

Like Zhao Zejun, Ma Huateng and Zhou Hongwei's nerves are always tense.

Now that it has finally come to an end, no matter who wins or loses, how much profit is lost, at the moment when Zhou Hongwei agreed, Ma Huateng, Zhao Zejun and Zhou Hongwei himself all felt relaxed for a while, and they didn't want to care about anything in a short time, they just wanted to sleep well.

Ma Huateng nodded and walked out of the conference room first. Zhou Hongwei finally glanced at Zhao Zejun deeply and left silently.

Lao Zhao opened a separate suite in the hotel, and he was going to live here during this time, just took the elevator upstairs, entered the door and went to the bed, and within a few minutes, he snored loudly.

……

Life is like a rubber band, there is tension and relaxation.

The three CEOs all slept heavily, and Zhou Hongwei, who usually slept the least, rarely slept until noon the next day before opening his eyes.

Rest well, open your eyes, it's a new journey.

2010 was a year of infighting and reform on the mainland's Internet, and the smoke of gunpowder ran through the whole year. At the beginning of 2011, 360 finally sold nearly 70% of its equity and decision-making power with a high valuation that is difficult to say 'cheap', and the curtain finally came to an end.

Everyone felt tired, but the media, which still maintained their vigorous energy, once again carried out a long report.

Southern Metropolis, a well-known social life magazine that doesn't seem to have much to do with the Internet, published a review article called "The Tame Tiger."

"No one thought that the 3Q war would end in such a way, and 360, which once had a high degree of hegemony over the Internet, was jointly 'carved up' by Zelianke and Tencent......

Legally, 360 is still a complete and independent enterprise, and it can still occupy the market and grab profits by virtue of the advantages of software such as anti-software, browsers, and security guards......

However, due to the large number of shareholders and the supervision of its core business, 360 can no longer gather strength, and the core will will emerge to have a powerful impact on the Internet as before......

The tiger, which once hunted other beasts for food, was eventually tamed and reduced to cows.

Speaking of animals in the Internet industry, I have to mention Zelianke, which has an important position in the whole thing.

Just a few years ago, Zelianke was also regarded as a 'spider' in the industry, Zhao Zejun, the head of Zelianke, tossed and turned between many large enterprises, looking for development opportunities, and was nicknamed 'Spider-Man'......

But unconsciously, Zelianke already has a competitive core industry, a perfect corporate structure, and a vigorous ecosystem.

With the further deepening of cooperation with Baidu, the dependence of Jingdong and other enterprises, and the temporary alleviation of contradictions with Tencent and Alibaba, can Zelianke be the 'martial arts leader' in the Internet industry in the mobile Internet era......

"Martial Arts Alliance Master?"

Zhao Zejun scoffed at this, the Internet can exist giant enterprises, but it must not be a monopoly, let alone 360, which can pose a direct threat to all enterprises.

360 is a lesson from the past, Zelianke does not want to follow in its footsteps and be besieged by all Internet companies.

To be an open platform, no one monopolizes 360, all out of this consideration.

In particular, the open platform is an important model that transforms 'hostile competition' into 'win-win cooperation', with large enterprises as platforms and small and medium-sized enterprises as support points, tying the interests of all people together.

The review of this magazine is still not professional enough, and in the future, it will be difficult for the industry to have a single dominant 'alliance model', and instead it will be replaced by an architecture that is stable for a long time.

However, there is a sentence in the review article that is true, Zelianke has indeed completed a step of qualitative change.

Do the math, over the past year or so, Zelianke has changed a lot by fighting to support the war.

After the collapse of Skynet, imitating Tencent and Alibaba, the enterprise structure of Zelianke was completed and the future development direction was determined;

Establish two major sectors of finance and games, and in the actual combat of the strongest opponents in the industry, further improve the enterprise structure, push it to maturity, and emerge a number of 'sharp weapons' such as business incubators;

The three markets of payment, finance and games have achieved substantial success, among which games can be on a par with Tencent, the largest game platform, and the payment field is not inferior to Alipay, and the financial field is one step ahead to establish an advantage;

In the subsequent 3Q war, the fire was successful, and the contradiction between Tencent and 360 was used to achieve at least three important strategic goals:

First, temporarily alleviate the contradictions between Tencent and Alibaba, so that Zelianke has a relatively relaxed development environment;

Second, seize the opportunity of the fierce battle between Tencent and 360 and take the opportunity to launch the WeChat project. Hardly met with any resistance, it rode all the way and occupied the smartphone software market.

Thirdly, it has made a solid profit by grabbing high profits.

Zhao Zejun didn't touch the stock market, the Ouyang family was operating, and his real source of profit was naturally the futures market.

At the beginning of the 3Q war, it used Zelianke's overseas parent company: Zhongze, an overseas registered company that has been forgotten for a long time, to short and long Tencent's shares through several transit channels.

At first, Tencent fell sharply, and then after the defeat of 360, Tencent's stock continued to soar so far, and the biggest profit was not Tencent shareholders, nor Ouyang's family, but Zhongze Investment Company.

Zhao Zejun initially prepared 400 million yuan for this futures, and after a few months of operation in the futures market, this money has rolled over to a point where even Zhao Zejun himself feels a little amazing, and the money to buy 360 shares is only part of it.

Zhao Zejun is not ready to invest this money in the development of the Zezi system for the time being, but keeps it as a reserve fund and his biggest backhand, and temporarily stores it in a European bank.

With money in his hand, he didn't panic, Lao Zhao estimated that with this money, no matter where the Zezi system goes in the future, his family can live a life of being a top rich man for several lifetimes;

In other words, in the 3Q battle, an extra life was earned.

The richer you are, the more afraid you are of death, and the amount of money is enough to change everything.

In addition, Zelianke has also gathered a number of companies led by Jingdong and Xiaomi Technology, further deepened cooperation with Baidu, established a huge network of Internet contacts, and solved the hidden dangers of the Ouyang family of the capital chaebol, etc., which are not small gains.

Looking back, the year was busy to death, but it was worth it.

From now on, there will be no more enterprises and forces in the Internet industry, and they have the ability to form an absolute advantage over Zelianke, and in this industry, Zhao Zejun no longer has to look at the faces of anyone and enterprises.

As a former ordinary man and a self-made entrepreneur, Zhao Zejun has almost never encountered real fairness, and those enterprises that have become large-scale have shrouded Zelianke's head all the way.

After several years of struggle, after this year, it has completely solved the various backwardness caused by Zelianke's late start caused by time, no matter in terms of financial resources, resources, background, scale, enterprise ecosystem, influence, etc., Zelianke is not inferior to any Internet company, and all top enterprises, has stood on the same starting line in the mobile Internet era.

Inherently unfair, this is the fate of the grassroots!

But in addition to seven points of life, there are still two points of hard work and one point of luck.

God gave Zhao Zejun that one point of luck, and he used twelve points of hard work to fight off the seven points of fate, several years of hard work, and only one fairness.

If you count the prophet, Zhao Zejun, who has been a human being in two lifetimes, in fact, finally has a 'natural advantage' for the first time.
