Pengcheng Airport, the rest area of the pick-up hall.

Zhou Hongwei wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a red T-shirt and white slacks, and a male assistant in a suit and leather shoes sat next to him.

Compared with the two, the latter is more in line with the image of the boss, and the former is more like a 'migrant civil servant with baby fat'.

Zhou Hongwei was born in 70 years and was also born in a rural family in a small county.

He once claimed to the media: I have righteousness in my bones, I like to do good deeds as heroes, and I always want to do something different.

When I was in high school, I read a book called "Silicon Valley Fever" and had the dream of becoming a technician.

After graduating from university, Zhou Hongwei was admitted to the Department of Systems Engineering as a graduate student in the same year, and obtained a master's degree in 1995 and became a programmer in Founder Group. Complete your first life dream.

After three years of service, Zhou Hongwei resigned as the general manager of the business department of Founder Group and founded the famous '3721 network real name' in 1998!

……

The use of this product is to provide users with the service of "browser Chinese search direct".

Due to the non-uninstallable nature of viruses and the dog-skin plaster-like plug-in bundling, '3721' has become a well-known 'top rogue software' in China!

It is also the first 'rogue plugin' in Huaxia.

In 2002, '3721' entered the golden period of development.

Incomplete statistics: More than 80 million computers were loaded into the plug-in that year, and the total revenue of '3721' reached 150 million yuan, which is the total income of Internet companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, and Huangyi!

Putting aside the viral and rogue plug-in style of '3721', 3721 allows Chinese people to surf the Internet and search websites in their native language. At the time, it was also very 'creative and groundbreaking'.

It's just that Mr. Zhou used 'unconventional' means in his promotion strategy, which caused '3721' to encounter a large number of 'verbal criticism' from Internet peers and users while the Internet was expanding wildly. It became a classic 'history of blood and tears' for netizens at that time.

At that time, someone joked and said: "If anyone has not been tied up with 3721, it proves that he has never been on the Internet at all." ”

By 2003. The reputation of 3721 is almost to an extreme. In the same year, Yahoo, an American Internet giant, bought 3721 for $1.2 and reorganized it into 'Yahoo Huaxia'.

In 2004, Zhou Hongwei became the president of Yahoo Huaxia and was fully responsible for the affairs of Yahoo Huaxia and 3721.

Interestingly, Yahoo Huaxia was later acquired by Alibaba, which became a major failure of the Alibaba acquisition.

In 2005. Zhou Hongwei left Yahoo Huaxia after his term expired, and then Yahoo announced the launch of the Huaxia market, laying off more than 300 employees.

At that time, many netizens were ridiculing this incident, saying, 'In order to enter the Chinese market, Yahoo was in a hurry to spend a large amount of money to sell a rogue company. Then he left the Chinese market in a hurry, really: the Yangtze River is full of tears. ’

Between 05 and 06, Zhou Hongwei and Lei Jun became talented investors, helping more innovative companies to obtain opportunities for rapid development and promoting the development of the entire industry.

Just when the Internet and netizens had forgotten about the former 'Mr. Zhou', he suddenly took Qihoo to launch the '360 Security Guard'!

Fight to the death against rogue software and launch the 'Anti-Rogue Software Campaign'! It has caused countless netizens to sigh and media reports.

In August 2006, 360 Security Defenders Anti-Rogue Software Campaign. It has attracted the attention and intervention of the Ministry of Information of China and the Internet Society of China.

v "News Network", "30 Minutes at Noon", "Oriental Time and Space" and other domestic news media have followed up and reported on this matter.

In November of the same year. 'Qihoo' and 'Huaxia Internet Association' have become 'bad information reporting centers', and have joined forces with a number of websites to launch 'green software' download platforms. Create unbundled, plug-in-free green software.

In 2008. Qihoo launched free anti-virus software, which once again caused a sensation in all walks of life on the Internet!

……

In fact, in terms of marketing operations and other means, Mr. Zhou and Zhang Fan have a lot of acquaintances, both of them occupy the Internet with amazing innovation and speed, and every action is very amazing!

And Zhang Fan, as the latter, is better than the blue. Marketing techniques and ideas. is also much higher than Zhou Hongwei, an old-timer.

Therefore, behind his back, Mr. Zhou admired Zhang Fan and Dabai, and praised Zhang Fan in the staff conference room more than once: he is the first person to innovate ideas and practices on the contemporary Internet. and claimed to be a 'big white old fan'.

This time, the penguins suddenly launched a 'suppression attack' against the pandas, which Zhou Hongwei expected as early as after the announcement of the big white press conference. I admire Zhang Fan's layout for the future even more!

At that time, he was already thinking about how to use the penguin's attack to have a 'win-win cooperation' with Zhang Fan and establish a strategic cooperative relationship.

However, at that time, Zhou Hongwei was not sure: "Zhang Fan has a relationship with Weixin Panda".

If Zhang Fan is the founder or shareholder of Weixin, he is fully sure that he will join Zhang Fan to defeat the penguins, and even shake the cornerstone of the penguins!

But if Zhang Fan has nothing to do with Weixin Penguin and just helps to promote it, he has no confidence in this matter, or he will not participate in "Penguin Panda Plagiarism Incident" at all.

The reason is very simple: he thinks that in the future of the Internet, people who can be called 'godfathers' are in addition to the old Internet friends he and Ali, Baidu, Penguin, Huang Yi, etc., who founded at the beginning.

Only Zhang Fan, a young man who came from behind, is qualified!

The battle between the penguin and the panda is like the battle of the Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms.

If there is no Zhuge Liang like Zhang Fan...... Even if he joins forces with WeChat to fight penguins, he is at best a 'Pang Tong + Zhou Yu', and he can't beat 'Cao Cao Penguin' at all.

And now after learning that Zhang Fan is the boss of WeChat, Zhou Hongwei not only admires Zhang Fan's layout and vision for the future mobile market, but also has a stronger idea of reaching an 'all-weather partner' with Dabai!

He knows very well that in the future, Dabai will become no less than a penguin, and even become the Microsoft and Google of China.

Therefore, it is very beneficial for him and Qihoo to help Zhang Fan at this stage and become friends with him.

In addition, he already admired Zhang Fan's style and Dabai, so this 'business' must be done.

Airport lounge area.

Zhou Hongwei leaned on the seat and was thinking. Suddenly, there was a reminder from assistant Lu Zhirong: "Boss, it seems that Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou are here......"

"Oh?" Zhou Hongwei hurriedly scattered to think, looked straight ahead and lifted his glasses.

I saw Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang walking side by side in front, and Xia Xiaotian and Wang Zhi, assistants to the chairman, followed behind the two......

Suddenly, Mr. Zhou was filled with a happy smile. Get up and catch up. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang deliberately 'put together', and the two of them didn't see him and walked forward directly.

Zhou Hongwei was embarrassed for a moment, and looked at Assistant Lu beside him, as if he was saying, "Am I wrong......?"

At that moment, four chuckles came from behind the two.

Turning his head, Xia Xiaotian half-bowed and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou Hongwei, this is a little joke that our boss and Mr. Zhou played with you." This is our boss Mr. Zhang Fan, this is Mr. Zhou Yang, vice chairman of Xinghuo Dabai and president of WeChat! ”

"Hahaha-"

Zhou Hongwei laughed loudly. shook hands with Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang vigorously.

"The two bosses really fooled me! I just thought to myself, did I admit my mistake? Impossible? ”

Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang chuckled in unison.

Zhang Fan felt the strength of Zhou Hongwei's handshake and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou can come in person, which really flatters me and Zhou Yang." Why don't we get in the car first and then find a place to eat and talk......"

"Not bad." Zhou Yang smiled: "My family boss heard that Brother Zhou, you came in person. It's like what the ancients said: 'Zhou Gong spit and feed', and immediately said, 'Go, go and pick up the distinguished guests!' ’”

"So we're hungry now."

When Zhou Hongwei heard this, he suddenly felt good in his heart, and his cheeks were red and he smiled: "Don't dare...... I knew I was calling later. It just so happened that my stomach was rumbling with hunger. Wait a minute, brother, I'll do the East ......."

"Hey, what's that going to do? How can we say that we are also the host, and we should be the host, right? Zhou Yang interrupted.

After speaking, a group of six people laughed, chatted happily and got into Zhang Fan's business car.

……

A few conversations. Zhou Yang and Zhang Fan both like Zhou Hongwei, a similar-minded big brother, and Zhou Hongwei occasionally said a few 'rough jokes' when talking, showing his undisguised charlatan and true temperament.

Come to the door of the famous Datang restaurant on the commercial street. Zhou Yang picked up the matter of '3721', and Mr. Zhou joked: "In order to delete that thing, I found someone to reinstall the system 6 times......"

Zhou Hongwei laughed as he walked, followed the four of them all the way into the restaurant and said, "Haven't I changed my past now?" ”

"I think there is a saying in Buddhism that says well: the wicked are the best people in the world when they do good deeds! A good man who does evil is the number one evil person in the world. So your path is not easy. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang were all 'awakened' by his philosophical words!

Indeed, if a bad person has done a bad thing all his life and suddenly changes his ways. When he starts doing good deeds, it is easier for people to forgive him. And develop a crush on the bad guys.

If a good person has done good deeds all his life, and suddenly one day he does something wrong. Immediately, it will be infinitely magnified, and even pointed out by thousands of people!

The 'good guy' in this sentence hits the position of Xinghuo Dabai.

Now that Dabai culture has gradually formed, the Dabai community, Dabai mobile phone's excellent design and reputation have made it a hot 'star-level enterprise' in China within half a year.

At the same time, it is also stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and the slightest mistake is very likely to be infinitely amplified by the media and individuals.

Now I don't know how many people are 'eagerly waiting' for Zhang Fan and Dabai to have some mistakes and scandals.

On the other hand, Zhou Hongwei and 360, although there were some 'bad deeds' in the past, the emergence of security guards and free anti-virus software has enabled Chinese netizens to enjoy free anti-virus services and changed the development progress of Internet information security.

Even if he makes a mistake, he will not be maliciously amplified. Because even if it is put again, it will not be able to amplify the 'effect' brought by '3721' back then.

……

Datang Restaurant, private room No. 8.

"Brother's words, it really made me and the boss break up! Come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine. ”

"Brother said that, but he deliberately exalted me. It is estimated that Brother Zhang has thought of it a long time ago, and I will remind him by the way. To be honest, I'm a little jealous of the speed at which you guys are developing now. ”

When the words fell, the private room was full of joy.

Zhou Yang put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect the penguin to move so fast!" I thought he would at least wait until Panda Chat reached a certain market. ”

"Fortunately, our boss is very anxious, and first use 'five minutes' to suppress the 'plagiarism wind' created by 'penguins'! We're just waiting for them to start suing now. ”

Zhou Hongwei's eyes were shining, he slapped the table and smiled: "I know: the case of suing the penguin in five minutes is a 'delaying strategy' of the two brothers!" If I'm not mistaken? Five minutes, there is also Brother Zhang and your shares, right? ”

Zhang Fan pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and said, "Brother guessed well." Five minutes does have our shares, to be precise, five minutes was wholly acquired by us, and will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinghuo together with Weixin and other companies in the future. ”

"Oh?!" Zhou Hongwei was shocked in his heart, stared at Zhang Fan for a long time and said, "Brother was laying out from the beginning?!" ”

Xia Xiaotian, Zhou Yang, and Wang Zhi looked at Zhou Hongwei's expression with a little pride in their hearts, and Zhou Yang smiled: "This is just the 'tip of the iceberg' designed by the boss, and the cooler ones are still to come." ”

Zhou Hongwei clapped his hand and gave a thumbs up! Then he looked at the assistant and said, "It's just right!" I have a welcome gift for my two brothers. ”

As he spoke, Assistant Lu smiled and took out a copy of the document from his briefcase and handed it to Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang.
