On August 1, Baidu's first advertisement, "Zhongli Seeking Him", was launched after Ant withdrew from Yanjing bus and subway stations, and launched the Baidu Advertising Alliance.
Ant and Baidu, two search companies, fully implemented the free inclusion policy, and quickly occupied nearly 60% of the search market.
Yahoo was so restless that it had to announce that it would abandon the cost of including the website and open it to all webmasters. But Yahoo Search's traffic has not changed, and has fallen to third place, with only 23% of the market share, and the other 7% belongs to 3721 network companies.
Across the ocean, in San Jose, California, Google is located in the city of San Francisco's southern bay.
"The other party is simply a stinky and hard stone, and it seems to have something to do with Jobs, at present, Ant Search has occupied nearly 40% of the market in Huaxia, followed by Baidu and Yahoo, which have just been launched!" Marissa. After Mayer returned to the United States, he immediately went to the office of co-founder Larry Page and reported to him what had happened in China.
"It's just a clown, trust our technical team, Eric is coming, you can cooperate with him when the time comes."
Larry Page was unimpressed and even dismissive of what was happening in another country.
On August 3, Western time, Google announced that he graduated from Princeton University and worked at Bell Labs and Sun Corporation. Schmidt takes on the role of CEO of the company, a technology company of just 200 people who has welcomed one of the most important figures in the search empire.
And Eric Schmidt immediately after taking office, he implemented a resolution to launch the search website independently, completely get rid of the control of Yahoo, AOL Group, etc., and no longer provide search technology for other portals.
Yahoo is completely panicked now, its own search engine has long been thrown away, even if it is picked up again and redeveloped, it is too late, fortunately, there are search engines such as infoseek and GO to in the European and American markets for technical support.
However Chinese only Google is doing the search engine in simplified and traditional Chinese, and if the two sides end the partnership, it means that Yahoo will temporarily lose the Chinese market.
Yahoo CEO Terry Semel rushed to San Jose from Sunnyvale as soon as possible and directly sent an acquisition offer to Google, which was really uncomfortable and intolerable for Yahoo, the long-time boss of the world.
Larry Page did not refuse Ya's olive branch, and directly offered $1 billion, and the deep-pocketed Semel readily agreed, and was ready to hold a second round of detailed negotiations soon.
In the search market in Huaxia, Ant Search has encountered a roadblock!
The built-in program of the 3721 real-name Internet plug-in maliciously removes the ant plug-in program in the background of the user's computer, and 3721 can't even completely delete it from the indos system, and even the safe mode can't do anything, it can only be done in DOS mode, and even their own computers have been tricked.
Zhou Hongyi, an old rascal, still couldn't help but make a move, the current Internet is really not lonely.
"BOSS, give me 48 hours, and I will definitely be able to kill this moth completely!" The person in charge of the ant killing, the bearded Aliyev, patted his chest in front of Chen Bo and assured.
"It's not enough to clear it, I'm going to make him lose a leg forever, teach them a lesson, is there a problem?" Chen Bo frowned and said in a deep voice, the signs of rogue software can't make him easy to get up, this will not only cause losses to ant search, but also give others a feeling that ant search is easy to bully.
Only by giving Zhou Hongyi some lessons, beating him painfully, and being afraid, did he not dare to stretch out his hand again, and he could also make an example of the chickens and monkeys.
"If you can't finish it, I'll see you there!" Aliyev didn't know where he learned a sentence of Chinese, and with his unkempt beard and a pair of leopard eyes, he flew out of his arms.
"What do I want your head for? When the ball is kicked! Chen Bo smiled bitterly and said, this Russian man probably has watched too much of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he has learned from it.
Aliyev embarrassedly touched his brain, turned around and threw himself into the fight with the 3721 plug-in.
It's not interesting to just fight on the technical level, you have to take the lead in public opinion and occupy the moral high ground first.
The article "The Rogue Things of Rogue Software" was quickly concocted on Tencent.com, pointing the finger at 3721, counting several major crimes, and attaching a large number of screenshots and proofs.
Immediately afterwards, Ant officially issued a warning in the official name to warn 3721 to stop the black hand behavior on the IE plug-in, and will reserve legal means to protect legitimate interests.
Not to be outdone, 3721 also made an official response, to the effect that what did you say? I don't understand, welcome to it. Ah, yes, welcome to sue!
The executives of the two companies did not take the initiative to speak out, and it was all a war of scolding on the official face.
It aroused the curiosity of many people who eat melons, this is the rhythm of tearing up, and quickly moved the small horse to sit in the front row to join in the fun, which became a hot event in the Internet for a while, attracting a lot of attention.
With the active guidance of Ant Company, more and more people have discovered this 3721 inconspicuous browser plug-in, which is indeed as stated in the article, and cannot be removed at all. Some professional technical people began to analyze the harmfulness of this plug-in, and attracted a large number of netizens to stand on the opposite side of 3721 to join the army of condemnation.
The high ground of public opinion and morality has been dominated by ant search, how can Zhou Hongyi be the kind of person who can be caught with his hands tied. Although there is no way to crack it for the time being, it not only has no impact on 3721 at present, but also brings a lot of traffic, and there is no way to completely clean up the remnants of the system registry without entering the DOS system.
Just two days after the Tencent article was issued, the Ant Killing Working Group and Kingsoft Poison Tyrant jointly launched a rogue plug-in cleanup tool, although it did not clearly point to the name of 3721 and said that it was to fuck you, but this time node is naturally self-evident.
With the resource platforms of the two companies, this rogue plugin cleaning tool was downloaded quickly, and the 3721 plugin could no longer be hidden, and it was tragically removed, and the search frequency of 3721 was also reduced a lot.
On August 6th, Zhou Hongyi, who couldn't sit still, bombarded an antivirus software company for hiring hackers to release viruses in the Internet market, and then killing the virus to "raise bandits and respect themselves".
And other companies such as Ruixin, Jiangmin, Symantec, and Kaspersky are collectively unhappy, and you can either directly name and scold them. Now it's a certain antivirus software company that lets them get shot while lying down, what do you think is going on?
For a while, the controversy over "plug-ins" evolved into the slander of "hired hackers", and now the entire Internet industry is like boiling boiling water.
Zhou Hongyi and Lei Jun are also old acquaintances, and they didn't deal with each other well as early as when they were Fangzheng, and now they have some enemies who are very angry. The text of the ant search is quite polite, there is no too strong wording, and it is relatively official, because 3721 is wrong in the first place anyway.
But there was a tough battle between Jinshan and 3721, and after the Lei Army counterattacked without showing weakness, the red-coated cannon directly named Jinshan.
Jin Shan was even more polite, and the next day he directly used legal means to sue 3721 for defamation, and other anti-virus companies fought back before this, but now they see that it has nothing to do with themselves, so they all stop watching the show, after all, they are dead friends and not dead poor people.
Just when they were arguing and showing a mess, they were robbed of headlines by a sudden intrusion news.
Wang Juntao, CEO of 8848, announced his official resignation on August 8, and the e-commerce site 8848, which had been in full swing for two years, is now in a desperate situation.
Whether it is the media or netizens, the attention can no longer focus on the war of words between Zhou Hongyi and Lei Jun, and then a screen full of articles about exposing the internal loss of control of 8848 appeared, and it seems that everyone has become Sherlock Holmes.
At this time, the most depressed thing is Zhou Hongyi in the 3721 company, who was originally standing on the tuyere and hoping to save some user traffic, but now he is dominated by others, and no one is happy.
The culprit, Ant Company, successfully provoked a scolding war, but retreated, and now it seems that they don't have half a dime.
Immediately following Kingsoft, other antivirus software has also launched its own malicious plug-in cleaning tools, and now 3721 has been completely blocked by many manufacturers, and the impact is too great.
3721 originally relied on this seemingly inconspicuous small plug-in to occupy a lot of the market, and finally was able to make a profit, and now this behavior is undoubtedly a way to cut off people's money.
This is a knife hanging over his head, which can kill 3721 in minutes, and Zhou Hongyi immediately sued many antivirus software vendors in court with a complaint, but the only one that was missed was Ant Search.
There's no way, if you want to sue him, you will be countersued, who let 3721 take the lead and be caught?
Chen Bo, who was far away in Pengcheng, naturally ignored some feelings and grievances from the outside world, and he was discussing with Zhang Xiaolong some settings of the new version of the Foxmail chat tool that will be launched soon.
First of all, there must be a loud name, and foreign names such as Fox live, iMessage, and iorks are put on the discussion table.
The reason why English words are used and do not use simple letters is to enhance brand positioning, for white-collar elites, cultural level and quality are relatively high, with a stronger sense of identity in English.
It is also to distinguish it from the product positioning of instant messaging such as Yahoo Messenger, Net E Bubble, and Tencent QQ.
Although Yahoo Pass is also a chat tool that logs in with email, in China, it is "using Yahoo Pass to chat with American cuties." Such a stupid propaganda slogan.
In addition to being attractive to the unknown dick silk group, this kind of positioning is not attractive to business, office-based users, and has been reduced to a tool for picking up girls with dirt buns, and it may not be able to be soaked, and it is not as practical as QQ.
This positioning bias naturally deprived him of the market in the business field, while MSN has a smaller share, mainly used by foreign companies of multinational groups, and is still in English.
After some discussion and consideration, it was decided to use the name Fox live, which is closer to Foxmail.
