In a two-story commercial office building near the Zhongguancun Telecommunications Bureau.

This is an Internet company that has just been established for a month and a half, the company's name is "Yanjing 3721 Technology Co., Ltd.", the registered capital is only 800,000 yuan, the company's boss is a 267-year-old young man wearing glasses, he used to work in the Founder Group, is already the general manager of the senior management position.

His name is Zhou Hongwei.

There are only 17 employees in this company, but all of them are programming masters, and they are a group of veteran employees that Zhou Hongwei took with him after resigning from Founder Group.

In addition to his boss, the rest of the company's management are Zhou Hongwei's college classmates, and they are all computer technology masters who program and develop software.

Today, Zhou Hongwei in the office sat in front of the computer, the expression on his face was extremely strict, his eyes were always fixed on the web page on the screen, one would open the navigation network of Sohu, and the other would open the hao123 navigation encyclopedia, or log in to the Longteng TM communication software buckle, and communicate with some netizens.

"Lao Zhou, the core vulnerability of the IE3 browser has been found." The office door was pushed open, and a man in formal clothes walked in and said to Zhou Hongwei.

When Zhou Hongwei heard the news, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and quickly typed on the keyboard, and after waiting for a few seconds, he stopped and turned his head and smiled: "You hurry up and notify the webmasters of those forums and ask them to hang up the 3721 plug-in." ”

"Okay, I'll get it right away!"

Looking at the plug-in program running on the computer desktop, Zhou Hongwei tapped the keyboard with a smile on his face, and he was very proud in his heart.

Internet Explorer is an application software released by Microsoft bundled with the system. Microsoft updated to IE3 in August '96. IE4 came out at the end of last year. However, there have always been many vulnerabilities in browsers.

Microsoft's product upgrading in China has been very slow,Foreign has been 98 new system,The browser used is naturally the latest IE4,But the country is basically using the old version of the 95、97 system,As for the browser, it is also IE3 as the main。

When Zhou Hongwei founded this company, he was pondering Li Feiteng's way to make a fortune and thinking about the core value of Internet companies.

Although he can't see as far as Li Feiteng, he is currently on the three major Internet giants in China. There are many places that can be borrowed and copied.

hao123 navigation, Sohu's website navigation, and Lifang Online's search navigation, these are all free Chinese web page traction services for users, which is the foundation of their traffic and the common feature of the three giants.

Zhou Hongwei, who saw this common denominator, seemed to have opened a door to success in an instant, and he decided to take a different path, which is to take advantage of the problem of Microsoft's slow updating of products in China, so as to find the core vulnerabilities of IE browser. Develop a Chinese navigation plug-in that coexists with Internet Explorer.

This plug-in is developed by Zhou Hongwei - 3721 Chinese address navigation plug-in!

3721 plugin once the user downloads it. It will be bundled with the browser, so to speak, once installed, 3721 and IE3 browsers are not separated from each other, unless you do not use IE3 browser, you can't uninstall 3721 plug-ins.

What is this concept?

There are less than 700,000 computers in China that can access the Internet, and almost ninety percent of the computers use IE3 browser.

Of the 700,000 computers, about 300,000 use the homepage navigation, 100,000 use Sohu to navigate, and nearly 90,000 are online.

Zhou Hongwei has great ambitions, he wrote the 3721 plug-in, not only to occupy the remaining 200,000 blank market of the three giants, but also to take advantage of the loopholes under Microsoft's monopoly behavior, with lightning speed, from the mouths of the three giants, the traffic book is completely snatched into his hands.

Think about it, 700,000 computers, all installed with 3721 plug-ins, all netizens after opening the computer, no longer use, no longer use Sohu navigation, but can directly use the convenient and fast 3721, enter Chinese in the address bar, you can navigate the Internet.

Zhou Hongwei's face was a little ruddy, and at this time he thought of Li Feiteng, a legendary young man on the domestic Internet, a teacher Li who taught him a lot of things.

How to advertise 3721, make a software that automatically posts ads on forums and chat rooms?

Zhou Hongwei doesn't know, and he doesn't want to give his employees a headache, because this kind of technology can only be done by a group of big people in Longteng Company.

But to advertise the 3721 plugin, he has a better way.

"Hey, Lao Liu, my Lao Zhou, that, do me a favor......" Zhou Hongwei began to use the phone on his desk to call some of his friends who run illegal websites.

These illegal websites, of course, are some adult erotic sites that are full of all kinds of bad information about minors.

About an hour later, Zhou Hongwei's 3721 plug-in was hung on more than two dozen adult websites, and as long as someone logged in to browse such illegal websites, a prompt would immediately appear that they needed to install the 3721 plug-in to continue surfing the Internet.

Bundled and forced users to download and use the 3721 plug-in is the most money-saving and best way for Zhou Hongwei to promote his products.

The total daily traffic of more than a dozen illegal websites can be compared to that of a large portal, and even compared to spending money on advertising on the Qingmu portal or the Sohu portal for a month.

No one thought of this kind of propaganda, Zhou Hongwei is the first person in this regard, this is just because he occasionally made friends with many webmasters when he was on illegal websites, so he had this trick.

……

Fukagawa City, Qingmu Nianhua Net City.

In the Internet area on the third floor, a young man with glasses sat in the most remote corner, staring at the computer screen with a red face, just about to open a "three/level star landing photo Daquan", the browser immediately began to download the 3721 plug-in, prompting him not to install the plug-in, he could not continue to browse.

The young man naturally continued to click the mouse and confirm the installation.

But in a few seconds, the 3721 browser was installed, and it was completely bundled with a computer, and this young man who was surfing the Internet didn't know it, and began to continue to watch unhealthy content again.

On this day, there were 20,000 or 30,000 people browsing illegal websites across the country, and most of them were computer novices, and in order to see unhealthy information, they did not hesitate to click to confirm the installation.

As a result, in the daytime of this day alone, Zhou Hongweichuang's 3721 plug-in used tens of thousands of users.

However, tens of thousands of users are just the beginning, and the evening is the peak time for more users to browse unhealthy websites. (To be continued......)
