"Of course Zhang Ning is not a good person."

For this, even Zhang Ning does not deny it.

Similarly, the launch of the penguin input method cannot be as simple as Zhang Ning being helpful and just trying to improve the typing speed of users around the world. It seems to be an inconspicuous little software, but Zhang Ning has already developed a small backdoor behind this software - networking.

Penguin Input Method is not an ordinary software, it is an Internet software.

As an Internet software, the most important sign of this software is that it can connect to the Internet.

Maybe you think that the Penguin Input method connection is just to update the thesaurus or download other skins and so on. Although, on the surface, it is indeed so. However, who knows, this is just a means for Zhang Ning to cover up people's ears. The purpose of really making the penguin input method networked is only one - advertising pop-ups.

Yes, that's right.

Ad pop-ups.

The advertising pop-up window on the instant messaging can be said to be completely popular.

As long as a software reaches a certain number of users, the effect of advertising pop-ups will be extremely shocking.

Just like a QQ pop-up window, with a flick, all users in the country who are using it will receive it.

This kind of advertising is more powerful than just the advertising of a portal or a TV station.

That is to say,Even if the penguin input method doesn't do anything else in the future,Just relying on this kind of advertising pop-up,It will collect billions of dollars every year。

However, Zhang Ning doesn't just want the penguin input method to be used as a tool to advertise to others.

Advertise to others, why not think differently and advertise yourself?

Or rather, advertise yourself for new business.

For example, launching antivirus software or something.

Or, with the help of the penguin input method, the launch of Penguin's own browser.

Yes, the Penguin Input Method is nothing more than a dangling.

Zhang Ning promoted the penguin input method to the world, not to make the penguin input method make money, but to use the market laid down by the penguin input method to launch products belonging to the penguin company.

This is Zhang Ning's real purpose.

Obviously, all the people on the planet did not foreshadow this.

"Xiao Ning, regarding antivirus software, the company is still stepping up the preparation. However, we expect that it may take some time. After all, antivirus software involves system security and is technically difficult. In addition, we have not done this before, and some of the people who poached are also constantly running-in. ”

Chen Qingqing reported to Zhang Ning on the progress of Penguin's anti-virus business.

"Well, probably how long will it take for our antivirus software to be launched."

"It may take another half a year."

"Half a year."

Zhang Ning shook his head, "No, half a year is too long." ”

It's 04 years now, time flies, wait another half a year, and it's 2005.

Global technology is developing too fast, and Zhang Ning doesn't want to waste his time.

Moreover, after the penguin anti-virus came out in 2005, it was impossible to occupy the market all at once.

In the field of antivirus, it is estimated that it will take another two or three years to win or lose.

This dragged the time back to 2008.

2008 was a time of change for the global IT industry.

Zhang Ning wants to step up the time and enter all the markets that can be entered in the world as much as possible before 2008.

"There's only one way, buy one of the antivirus vendors."

Chen Qingqing said.

It's a quick way to break into the world market.

Often, when many of the world's giants want to enter other markets, they will spend huge sums of money to acquire a company.

It costs a lot of money, but it's a huge time saver.

Moreover, the acquisition of a business can also bring certain technical complements to itself.

Just like Penguin, it is not a soft killer, and its technical capabilities are lacking. If you can acquire a soft killing company, you can quickly enter the global market, and you can also supplement your own strength.

It's just that if it was before, maybe Zhang Ning would agree.

But now, Zhang Ning still shook his head.

"Although the acquisition is a good way, after the acquisition, we are facing competition with all the soft killer manufacturers. Although we have our own channels for promotion, this is obviously not conducive to our promotion of the market. And, Qingqing, I'm afraid the U.S. government is no longer willing to let us make large-scale acquisitions. ”

Penguin has already attracted the attention of the U.S. government, especially the previous Zhang Ning incident, Zhang Ning already knew that the U.S. government had basically put Penguin on the list of threats. Even if the U.S. government won't block the acquisition entirely. I'm afraid that if you really want to complete the acquisition, it will take a lot of energy and manpower.

This kind of acquisition is completely more than worth the loss.

"Yes."

Chen Qingqing nodded.

She can also feel the current situation at Penguin.

This is the status quo that a company will face after it becomes bigger and stronger.

Even if Penguin has not had any problems with the U.S. government before, when it comes to cross-border acquisitions, governments of various countries will take it very seriously. The U.S. will do the same with Penguins, and the Chinese government will do the same with U.S. companies. If such acquisitions are allowed to occur, I am afraid that all the enterprises of a country will be bought by other forces.

"Xiao Ning, do you want to consider acquiring a domestic soft-killing company?"

"Domestic?"

Zhang Ning couldn't help but smile.

"Forget it."

Domestic antivirus software vendors have not been ranked in the world.

Even if Jinshan, Jiangmin, and Ruixing are known as the largest antivirus companies in China, their own technical strength is very average.

Moreover, these companies are not very flexible, and the manager is not a knowledgeable person. Look at the future generations, after the Internet revolution in 2008, what Jinshan, what Ruixing, and what Jiangmin are all finished. However, 360, an antivirus company that did not have any antivirus software technology before, has sprung up and become the final winner.

Huh, 360.

Speaking of 360, it made Zhang Ning suddenly have an idea.

"Qingqing, the strength of domestic antivirus software manufacturers is very average, and it is useless after our acquisition. Oh, have you ever understood what Zhou Hongwei has been doing lately? ”

Since Zhang Ning shifted his focus to global business, Zhang Ning and Zhou Hongwei have rarely gotten together.

"Isn't he working on antivirus software?"

In his memory, Zhou Hongwei mentioned this idea to Zhang Ning.

"Forget it about Zhou Hongwei, don't you know, this guy has recently started a free antivirus in China."

"Free antivirus."

Damn, this guy is really doing free antivirus.

remembered that Zhang Ning had advised him before, telling him not to engage in free antivirus.

If this is done, it will kill the domestic anti-virus market.

Unexpectedly, this guy still embarked on this road.

"So how did it turn out?"

"As a result, he was naturally beaten by others, and now he is busy fighting with people every day."
