Chapter 48: Chopin in November

At the end of May, Hatsune Network was victorious.

After the Hatsune video website was launched, it didn't take ten days to get the traffic of millions of netizens, and even hyped up the first single video with more than 100,000 views.

In 05 years, the video with 100,000 views can already be regarded as a phenomenal hot spot.

In addition, the two audio-visual platform products, one online and one offline, complement each other and promote each other, and have obtained a period of rapid expansion and growth.

The phenomenon that Gu Mojie, who was waiting for several bigwigs staring at Internet entertainment, including Ma Huateng of Tengxun, Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu and others, did not happen.

Ma Huateng's current focus is still on the "Tenpay" that will be launched in September and October, so he doesn't dare to completely offend Gu Mojie, and he doesn't have time to offend Gu Mojie.

After all, up to this moment, the in-depth cooperation between Gu Mojie and Ma Feng is still confidential, and Ma Huateng doesn't want to completely force Hatsune Network Company to become Alipay's follower before Tenpay goes online.

Since ancient times, weak countries have not been without diplomacy. The essence of the success of the diplomacy of a weak country is that the traitor must sell evenly and let the great powers check and balance each other, so that they can survive and develop in the cracks.

Marshal Zhang Zuolin is well versed in this, balancing Japan and Russia, so that the northeast will not fall into the hands of foreign enemies for decades. It's a pity that his straw bale son is a waste snack, just came to power, and he impulsively took a "Zhongfeng Road", but he was immediately stabbed in the back by "Nine Translations and Eight", and he lost so much that there was no fart left.

Before World War II, Southeast Asia was colonized. There is only one Thai Rama dynasty left.

King Rama V and other kings, what kind of trick did they rely on to "all neighboring countries are dead and I am alone"? When the British came to the door, they complained: "It's not that we don't want to cede land and pay compensation." It's the French who won't let me cede to you! When the French came to the door, they complained in turn: "It's not that we don't want to cede the land and pay compensation, it's the British who won't let me cede it to you!" ”

Gu Mojie's current strength and capital scale, although compared with the second horse, are still more than ten times or even dozens of times behind. However, it is comparable to Rama V between Britain and France, and Zhang Dashuai between Japan and Russia, and he is already qualified to use his complete fall to the other side as a bargaining chip to play threats and delay time.

Thereupon. is the only one who is angry about Gu Mojie's achievements in this field and has the strength and qualifications to be angry.

As for the other bigwigs, Ma Feng and Gu Mojie have already united. Ahri Group didn't want to get involved in online entertainment for several years. Baidu's boss Li thinks that on the one hand, it is not as urgent as Ma Huateng, and on the other hand, this year's Baidu is based on the profit margin before the listing, and is desperately trying to save money everywhere. There will be no new areas of business at all.

……

Speaking of which. Zhang Chaoyang and Gu Mojie are not opponents for a day or two. At the beginning, Gu Mojie's first tone input method just stood up to Shi Guanghu's universal input method, Zhang Chaoyang's Sohu was involved in the subdivision of intelligent pinyin input method in a high-profile manner, and later successfully came up with the product of Sogou input method.

When Zhou Hongyi established the Inverted Hatsune Alliance, Zhang Chaoyang, Zhou Hongyi, and Hou Yantang joined forces. At that time, among the three leaders, it was Hou Yantang who had the greatest advantage in the number of users in the existing subdivided products; The most positive is Zhou Hongyi; But if you talk about the strength of the company and the scale of funds, the strongest is undoubtedly Zhang Chaoyang.

Merely. At that time, Zhang Chaoyang did not pay much attention to the Sogou input method, and he didn't like it. I don't worry about it, so I don't care much about it, but I just help Zhou Hongyi in terms of promotion costs behind the scenes, but the specific dirty work that is embarrassing for Zhou Hongyi is for Zhou Hongyi to do.

Anyway, Zhou Hongyi was born in rogue software, and the industry knows that he has a bad reputation, and it doesn't matter if it stinks a little more, it just happens to be wasted. In this way, one needs white gloves and the other needs practical benefits, and the cooperation between Zhou Hongyi and Zhang Chaoyang is quite pleasant.

In March and April, Zhou Hongyi's various fronts were hit hard, and the whole person was disheartened for a while, and he didn't have much time to trouble Gu Mojie.

By the time Zhou Hongyi eased up, the window period for confrontation had already passed. The security guard of 361 has simply not been able to turn over the Hatsune computer butler who has become a platform complex. No matter how much Zhou Hongyi wants to take revenge, there is nothing suitable for him to start.

At this point, Zhou Hongyi is no longer purely for the future of the business and money, but also with a huge grudge against him. It's a pity that Zhang Chaoyang will not be infected by Zhou Hongyi's resentment, and he is not willing to accompany Zhou Hongyi to burn again when he can't see hope.

Zhou Hongyi's whole person was sluggish for a long time, and he only relied on some off-the-counter means to disgust Gu Mojie.

Seeing that Fu's case is about to go to trial, one of Gu Mojie's women may be summoned as a witness to testify in court and verbally humiliated. What Zhou Hongyi can count on is just such a small revenge that is just like the dismantling wrist of a junior high school student when he fights in a group.

At the moment when Zhou Hongyi was decadent, Zhang Chaoyang extended a new olive branch, saying that the two sides could further strengthen cooperation and jointly deal with Gu Mojie. also asked Zhou Hongyi to go to the Sohu headquarters to talk. Anyway, it's all in Zhongguancun, and it's not just a stretch of legs.

Zhou Hongyi was overjoyed.

This feeling is like President Chang, who was disliked by President Truman because he bet on the wrong treasure in the U.S. election. is facing the moment of the cut off of US aid, the loss of all the great rivers and mountains, the lonely island, and the extreme despair; Suddenly, I heard that the Korean War had broken out, and that I had the value of being used again, and General MacArthur sent the Seventh Fleet, aircraft and artillery.

Zhou Hongyi didn't hesitate, and went away.

……

Zhou Hongyi rushed to Sohu Company, didn't dare to take a shelf at all, and when he saw Zhang Chaoyang, he saluted respectfully: "Brother Zhang, I can expect you to make a move." ”

"Sit." Zhang Chaoyang motioned to Zhou Hongyi not to be polite, and said, "Brother Zhou, I didn't make much effort to deal with Hatsune Network a while ago, you won't blame me." ”

"Of course it's weird! You old fox, if Gu Mojie doesn't touch your core interests, you won't bother to kill you! Zhou Hongyi thought so viciously, but unfortunately, this sentence could not be spoken, so he had to think about it.

endured and endured, Zhou Hongyi finally said: "Where did Brother Zhang speak, it is also because the younger brother did not have enough means and planted it." Fortunately, Brother Zhang didn't follow up at that time, leaving us some more strength. ”

Zhang Chaoyang obviously knew that Zhou Hongyi was insincere, but he didn't care, as long as the apparent harmony continued to be maintained, it would be fine. I only heard him appease Zhou and say:

"It's good that you can turn the page. But we didn't lose, did we? Don't be discouraged. Even if your 361 security guard currently has only half of the installed base of Hatsune Computer Manager, Gu Mojie's methods also let us see a new way: as long as it is a comprehensive platform with multiple software and fields, the mutual recommendation and mutual binding effect of products in the platform is very powerful.

Originally, there was only one horse flower vine in China who dared to test the water like this, and he didn't dare to go too fast. After a year or two, QQ Music didn't even die listening to it. Now that there is Gu Mojie, a-stirring stick, it provides us with new ideas. Our financial strength is dozens of times that of Gu Mojie, are you afraid that there will be no chance? ”

There is no patent right for business models and business ideas, as long as they are novel and effective, anyone can learn them. This is one of the manifestations of the "late-mover advantage" that many scholars in the system often boast about, such as boasting: China has a vast land and a vast market...... Therefore, if there are some advanced innovations in small capitalist countries, we can immediately copy them over and crush the original creators by relying on the advantage of size.

With the knowledge of Zhou Hongyi and Zhang Chaoyang, it is naturally not difficult to understand this kind of theory. After Zhang Chaoyang spoke, Zhou Hongyi immediately regained his confidence.

As long as Zhang Chaoyang is willing to do his best, their union will still have a chance to turn around.

The only thing Zhou Hongyi suspected was Zhang Chaoyang's motives, he was afraid that Zhang Chaoyang's determination was not firm and durable. As long as he can't figure this out, Zhou Hongyi can't feel at ease.

He didn't care about being jealous, and asked bluntly: "Brother Zhang, could it be that Gu Mojie interfered in the audio-visual business and touched your backlash?" ”

Zhang Chaoyang's cheeks twitched, and he smiled without smiling, and said frankly: "It's almost, you can understand it that way." The era of Sohu's traditional business has passed, and to tell you the truth, I have been thinking about the direction of Sohu's transformation in the past two years, but I feel that the technology in all aspects of Internet entertainment is immature and cannot be easily started.

Gu Mojie's approach inspired me very much. And some of his achievements in other fields are obviously making full use of some of his advantages in the field of deep learning algorithms. I think I'm the best person to finish him, don't I? Although I am not the first to intervene in deep learning algorithms, I am definitely the first batch of follow-up in China, and it is the most suitable for follow-up.

To engage in deep algorithms, you must first have the technical foundation of a search engine company. Baidu was originally the first in China, and we can only be regarded as the second. It's a pity that in order to go public, Baidu has shrunk for at least more than a year, and has eliminated our biggest opponent. This kind of opportunity, Tianyu will take it, and he will be to blame! ”

Zhang Chaoyang wants to engage in Internet entertainment, not for a day or two. Many years later, it was Sohu that took up the licensing business of genuine Internet film sources, and also sniped Baidu Video, which mainly focused on pirated streams. In music and other social fields, Sohu has also made waves, but it has not succeeded.

Sohu went public on the Nasdaq in 2000, just before the dot-com bubble burst at the turn of the century, and five years before Baidu. In contrast, the later BAT triumvirate, at the moment of 05 years, only looked at the scale and strength of available funds, and did not have an advantage over the top three giants that were successfully listed before the bubble such as Sohu, Sina, and NetEase.

Although the first three giants have gradually declined in later generations, they are not short of money at present, or in other words, the only thing that is not lacking is money.

They have money, but they don't have good transformational investments.

After thinking about this, Zhou Hongyi was suddenly full of confidence, and no longer doubted Zhang Chaoyang's motives. (To be continued.) )
