In 2001, the domestic Internet environment has been improved, and the number of Internet users has increased significantly. At the same time, the portals are also starting to move towards profitability. However, as the domestic Internet environment has improved, the competition of web portals has become even more intense. In the competition, the first to bear the brunt is the new netizens.

Sina, NetEase, Sohu, and the three major portals are all focusing on new netizens.

They believe that as long as a user logs in to a portal for the first time, he will always be on that website in the future.

This is a preconceived concept, although it seems incomprehensible, but the psychology of human nature, is like that.

Naturally, Zhang Chaoyang, as the CEO of Sohu, has also set his sights on the surge of netizens who have proliferated because of ADSL dial-up Internet access recently. To this end, Zhang Chaoyang has cooperated with telecommunications companies and also with city bus companies. Even, the slogan of going to Sohu and knowing the world was played to promote the growth of Sohu's IP stream.

However, the other two portals are not vegetarian either.

As the first Sina and the first portal in the industry, Sohu still can't surpass no matter how hard it tries.

Of course, for NetEase, this NetEase, which focuses on the game, Sohu also has the strength to fight. However, because NetEase Ding Lei is good friends with Zhang Ning of Penguin Technology. Zhang Ning's few advertisements in hao123 have already pulled up NetEase's IP stream. If it weren't for Sina Wang Zhidong who couldn't stand it, he also ran to Zhang Ning, crying and making trouble to let Sina hang on the hao123 navigation bar, Sina's IP stream would be challenged by NetEase......

"This, Mr. Zhang, can we actually try to cooperate with Penguin Technology?"

Shi Li, president of Sohu Advertising, said to Zhang Chaoyang, founder of Huso.

"Penguin Tech?"

Zhang Chaoyang looked a little confused.

If it was before, if someone among his subordinates mentioned Penguin Technology, Zhang Chaoyang would immediately get angry.

However, in less than a year, the Internet has been full of Penguin Technology.

Even, until now, even Zhang Chaoyang has to use Penguin Technology's products, such as QQ.

Although, Zhang Chaoyang doesn't want to use it either. But he has a lot of business and a lot of contacts in it, and Zhang Chaoyang has to use it. Even, in the end, Zhang Chaoyang also fell in love with such instant messaging products. In particular, QQ's series of technological innovations, sometimes, Zhang Chaoyang has to admire.

"Mr. Zhang, in the business world, how can you care too much about hatred. Sometimes, even if you hate others, you can only let go of this hatred. Because we still have the company behind us, we have Sohu behind us, and behind us, there are more than 3,000 employees. ”

Although Shi Li is Zhang Chaoyang's subordinate, she is also a friend of Zhang Chaoyang, and Shi Li is also a classmate of Zhang Chaoyang studying in the United States. Shi Li also has some understanding of the grievances between Zhang Chaoyang and Zhang Ning. However, for the sake of the company, Shi Li could only persuade Zhang Chaoyang.

"Perhaps, you're right."

This time, Zhang Chaoyang was not as strong as in the past, but sighed, "You can watch and do this matter." ”

……

"Mr. Zhang, Shi Li, President of Advertising of Sohu Company, is waiting for you in the conference room."

"Okay, I'll be here in a moment."

For Zhang Chaoyang, Zhang Ning has no good feelings.

For the Sohu company founded by Zhang Chaoyang, Zhang Ning is also the same.

Even, don't say that he has a good impression, Zhang Ning still has the idea of revenge for Zhang Chaoyang.

However, there was no intersection with Sohu Company for a period of time, and Zhang Ning really thought of how to take revenge on Zhang Chaoyang. It's just that when Zhang Ning didn't think about how to take revenge on Zhang Chaoyang for the time being, Shi Li, the advertising president of Sohu, said that he wanted to visit him.

For this Shi Li, many people may not recognize it.

But Zhang Ning, who has worked in the computer industry for many years, knows that in later generations, Shi Li is the No. 2 person in Sohu. When Zhang Chaoyang disappeared, it was Shi Li who was able to resist Sohu and make Sohu survive the crisis. For such a strange woman, Zhang Ning is very interested.

Of course, Zhang Ning is also interested in why Sohu sent Shi Li to Penguin Technology.

"Hello, Mr. Shi, I have long heard that there is a genius female president of Sohu Company, and when I saw it today, I was really right with the outside world."

Shi Li is not pretty, and she dresses very ordinarily, just professional women's clothes.

But Shi Li's temperament is very outstanding.

With a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, she made Zhang Ning feel only two words from the inside out, from the outside to the inside: professional.

Yes, Shi Li is a professional Internet practitioner.

"Mr. Zhang is laughing at me, who doesn't know that the outside world has been calling you a monster. I'm nothing compared to you. At the same time, congratulations on your search and search, which has become the first search engine in China. ”

Shi Li generously shook hands with Zhang Ning and said some words of blessing to Zhang Ning.

"President Shi is really good at talking, if your CEO Zhang Chaoyang is also so good at talking, I think your Sohu should be more promising."

"Mr. Zhang, in fact, Sohu has always been very promising. At the same time, our CEO, Mr. Zhang, is also very talented. I really admire his knowledge of the Internet, and at the same time, I really appreciate his ability to do his job. ”

Although she was in Penguin Technology, Shi Li did not look angry because Zhang Ning laughed at Zhang Chaoyang. On the contrary, even if the current Sohu is indeed unsatisfactory, Shi Li is still high-spirited.

"Hehe, if you want to think so, you can do that."

Zhang Ning didn't argue with Shi Li, but asked meaningfully, "By the way, I haven't greeted President Shi yet, why did you come to our Penguin Technology Institute?" No, it's really coming to see me. ”

"Why not, I admire Mr. Zhang, you are a model in our Internet industry."

That's not to lie.

Recently, Shi Li has been studying the rise of Penguin Technology.

The more she studied, the more she felt deep admiration for Zhang Ning.

From QQ to QQ games, from QQ games to stand-alone games, from stand-alone games to online games.

and from the online game to an inexplicable Internet navigation, and finally, on this inexplicable online game, a very technical search engine was launched. Until now, this search engine has become the No1 in China.

One by one, one by one, every strategy, it was like a business textbook, and it had always shocked her.

"Hehe, since President Shi has been watching and watching it now, isn't it time to go back?"

"It's time to go back?"

Shi Li was stunned for a while, and after a while, she finally understood the meaning of Zhang Ning's words.

"I surrender, Mr. Zhang, I'm not here to imitate you, I'm representing Sohu to talk about cooperation with you Penguin Technology."

"Sohu cooperates with our company?"

Zhang Ning felt something incredible.

"Yes, we at Sohu would like to cooperate with your QQ instant messaging, SOSO search engine, and hao123 in various ways. I don't know, what does Mr. Zhang mean? ”

"Do you think I'll say yes?"

Other companies are okay to say, but only Sohu is not.

Moreover, this guy has a big appetite, and he cooperated all at once, and actually brought up the three major businesses.

"I think Mr. Zhang will definitely agree."

Shi Li seemed to be full of feet and replied in the affirmative.

"Oh, yes, tell me why."

Zhang Ning smiled a little.

will definitely agree, he wants to hear how this Shi Li can convince himself.

"First, we have prepared 300 million yuan of advertising cooperation funds, if you carry out various advertising cooperation with Sohu, your advertising costs will be greatly increased, which is beneficial to your Penguin Technology."

"It seems, it is."

Zhang Ning nodded, but didn't feel anything, and motioned for Shi Li to continue.

"Second, we can also help with Penguin Ads, and we're completely free of charge. In this regard, I think, it is more beneficial to you penguins. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so generous. Yes, it's good for us penguins. ”

Zhang Ning still nodded, but he didn't feel anything in his heart, and motioned to Shi Li to continue.

"The third, and most important one. There is no permanent rival and no permanent friend. ”

With this sentence, Zhang Ning knew what Shi Li was talking about.

Similarly, this sentence also made Zhang Ning appreciate Shi Li even more.

If Zhang Ning just had a general grudge against Zhang Chaoyang, perhaps, Zhang Ning was really taken by this sentence and didn't care about it. However, during the growth period of Penguin Technology at that time, when Zhang Ning was the most powerless, Zhang Chaoyang led the company to suppress him, how could Zhang Ning let Zhang Chaoyang go?

Shaking his head, Zhang Ning replied, "First, your Sohu advertising fee of 300 million yuan, for me, I'm sorry, it's too little." If it's a 10-fold increase, I can still consider it.

Second, your Sohu company helps us advertise, and I am also embarrassed, when you Sohu took the lead in other companies to block our Penguin Technology, I was not afraid, do you think, I still value the traffic of your Sohu company?

As for the third, President Shi, you said it so well, I admire your words. At the same time, I also think this sentence is very correct. It's just that I want to say that he didn't have a chance to be my partner. At the same time, he is even less qualified to be my competitor.

"Mr. Zhang, you ......"

Shi Li was a little so angry with Zhang Ning that she couldn't speak.

It's just that she came to Penguin Technology to talk about cooperation, even if she was very angry in her heart, she could only endure it, and said, "Zhang always couldn't stand you before, and I apologize to you for Mr. Zhang." But I think a super-large company in the future will have to develop something that goes beyond developing a peerless product. I think his leader should also have a peerless bearing and a ......."

It's a pity that this sentence was interrupted by Zhang Ning again, "Put away your tirade." What kind of bearing and mind are you talking about, why didn't you Sohu reflect it before this? I think you should talk to your CEO more. Also, don't convince me of this. Although I, Zhang Ning, am not a villain, I am not a good person either. Your Mr. Zhang has provoked me, I'm sorry, it's impossible for us in Penguin Technology to cooperate with you Sohu. Oh, by the way, what you said about bearing and open-mindedness, in fact, I have done a good job. At least, you see, I didn't block your Sohu like your Mr. Zhang. ”

"By the way, also, why did you apologize to me for Zhang Chaoyang, Zhang Chaoyang himself?"
