Negotiations No. 067 could not make progress, and war came immediately

Wei Dongsheng could hear Bai Guo's carelessness.

After thinking about it, Wei Dongsheng didn't insist on explaining it clearly, and the white fruit was taken as a joke.

The Spring and Autumn series has achieved something that has not satisfied everyone, such as the disdain for "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" by hourly payers; For example, players in "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" encountered setbacks in the game, and swiped the screen to insult "Spring and Autumn of the Dog's Day, Wei Dongsheng of the Dog's Day" to vent their anger; For example, rogue software vendors maliciously expose the Spring and Autumn series of companies, accusing torrent download artifacts of occasionally houling behavior is also a kind of hooligan behavior, don't talk about the second brother; For example, the old story of the water army reminded Wei Dongsheng of apologizing to Shanda Network for operating a legendary private server, scolding "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" as a large private server, and nicknamed Wei Dongsheng "Private Service Dog" and "Private Service King".

Wei Dongsheng has a strong heart, able to look at public opinion based on the pros and cons, ignore the unconscious anger of the player group, and ignore the barking of the defeated dog of the rogue software army. If it is confirmed that Wei Dongsheng is the so-called genius high school student, she will definitely not be able to calmly look at those insults from Wei Dongsheng's standpoint, and there is a high probability that she will explode and fight with the navy sunspots on the Internet, which will affect real life.

All of this is not necessarily a bad thing to be a joke.

Let it be.

Wei Dongsheng will not deliberately conceal it, nor will he deliberately explain it clearly.

Bai Guo is still like this, and other students will naturally not be convinced that Wei Dongsheng is a genius high school student who can lead the development of online games. Back in the 0209 class of Wuping No. 1 High School, Wei Manman also took this matter as a joke and listened to Wei Dongsheng: "Do you know the rumors of genius high school students, the scores of the three exams published on the Internet are exactly the same as yours, can't it be you?" ”

Wei Dongsheng chose to tell the truth: "Yes, it's me." ”

Wei Manman didn't believe it like Bai Guo, and glanced at Wei Dongsheng: "You just blow it." ”

Wei Dongsheng sighed, the more he told the truth, the more inappropriate everyone was.

While waiting for the arts and sciences to be classified, Chang Mingxia called from Yanjing: "Zhou Hongyi from 3721, text message Lu Binqi, hoping to reconcile with us. The price he has made is so high that we must ask you to decide for yourself. ”

Wei Dongsheng: "How high?" ”

Chang Mingxia: "I read to you the main content of his text message: 'Sina offered $20 million to buy 3721, but I didn't sell it; Sohu Zhang Chaoyang offered $35 million to buy 3721, but I didn't sell it; Alibaba's Jack Ma offered $60 million to acquire 3721, but I didn't sell it; Yahoo offered $150 million to buy 3721, and I still haven't sold it. ’”

"'3721 is worth well over $150 million.' ”

"What 3721 does is not contradictory to the business of Chunqiu, which is an online game operator, a download tool, a security tool, a third-party payment, a browser, and a search, while 3721 is just a name service. If the two parties can cooperate, 3721 will be able to bring millions of daily traffic to Spring and Autumn Look. ’”

"'If 3721 merges with Spring and Autumn Security Browser and Spring and Autumn Look, not only will Spring and Autumn Browser have the hope of beating Baidu, but 3721 can also provide a new profit model for Spring and Autumn Security Browser and Spring and Autumn Look. Yahoo values 3721 at $150 million, and I also value Spring and Autumn Secure Browser and Spring and Autumn at $150 million, and after the merger, we each have half of the shares. ’”

Wei Dongsheng: "Is the other party really Zhou Hongyi?" ”

Chang Mingxia gave an example to corroborate: "IDG is an angel investment of 3721, and DG confirmed that the phone number and text message content did come from Zhou Hongyi, and also confirmed that Zhou Hongyi declined the previous acquisitions of Sina, Sohu, Alibaba, and Yahoo. In particular, Yahoo's $150 million acquisition, IDG is not particularly confident in 3721, and can't see what kind of market this market is, and very much hopes to promote Yahoo's acquisition to realize and unbundle. Zhou Hongyi was very entangled in the acquisition from Yahoo and was unwilling to sell 3721 so simply. Zhou Hongyi went to the United States twice during the period, and there was no progress in the merger and acquisition negotiations, DG decided to promote Yahoo's acquisition of 3721 in order to realize the solution, and now he has sent Yihong to help Zhou Hongyi communicate with Yahoo. ”

"At the same time, IDG is optimistic about the profit model of our Spring and Autumn Network. If Spring and Autumn Security Browser and Spring and Autumn Souyisou merge with 3721, and then merge into Spring and Autumn Network, DG's Yang Fei and his personal relationship revealed to us that IDG is trying to give priority to promoting the merger of 3721 and Spring and Autumn Network, of course, provided that their holding ratio is guaranteed; If the merger is not possible, or if the combined stake ratio is lower than expected, IDG prefers to facilitate Yahoo's acquisition of 3721. ”

Wei Dongsheng roughly understood what was going on.

In order to seize the search market, Spring and Autumn Security Browser launched two weapons at one time. First of all, the default homepage of Spring and Autumn Security Browser is a navigation website similar to hao123, and the category form provides users with the option of commonly used websites; Secondly, the right side of the address box of the Spring and Autumn Security Browser is the Spring and Autumn Look at the search engine, and users can directly use the browser as a search engine page.

The search engine that we took a look at in the Spring and Autumn Period was deliberately controlled by Wei Dongsheng, and the development trend was only half a year or a year stronger than that of Google and Baidu. It is extremely difficult for users to feel the transcendence of half a year or a year, and Baidu, which specializes in search engine business, and 3721, which fights desperately with Baidu, are keenly aware of the threat from the technical side of Spring and Autumn Sou. Especially 3721, it is ashamed of Baidu's search engine technology, not to mention the Spring and Autumn Search, which is stronger than Baidu?

Wei Dongsheng did not give an immediate answer, and continued to ask: "What about the attitude of the management?" ”

Chang Mingxia: "The vast majority of people are against the merger. ”

Wei Dongsheng smiled: "Are you all against it?" ”

Chang Mingxia: "In the Internet circle, Zhou Hongyi is notorious, and everyone knows that he is not easy to get along with. However, such a ruthless character who is not easy to get along with was forced by IDG and other venture capital to sell 3721 to Yahoo for cash. If the two sides merge and IDG and other venture capital attract wolves, it will be time to force us to sell the company. Everyone is disgusted with vulture-like venture capital and is unwilling to cooperate passively with venture capital such as IDG. ”

Wei Dongsheng defended IDG slightly: "It can't be simply blamed on venture capital, whether to sell or not, Zhou Hongyi must have a very heavy share of the right to speak." If Zhou Hongyi had not hesitated or hesitated in his heart, he would have rejected Yahoo as neatly as he rejected Sina, Sohu, and Alibaba. However, the eyes of the masses are always bright, and merging with 3721 in half ratio is definitely not beneficial. Refuse them, we don't need such cooperation. ”

Before the end of the call, Wei Dongsheng asked another question: "Rejecting the merger proposal of 3721, everyone's mentality will not be affected, right?" ”

Chang Mingxia chuckled and said: "The only impact is that the secure browser and the search project have become popular." At first, many employees misjudged the secure browser and search projects as marginal projects like torrenting artifacts, and the employees who transferred to these two projects felt that they were being assigned to the frontier. Less than a month after the release of Secure Browser and Soyisou, 3721 hurriedly sought to merge with us, and even valued us at $150 million. Secure Browser and Soyisou have now become $150 million projects, second only to the fast-paced "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" in importance, and everyone is now optimistic about the Secure Browser and Soyisou projects, vying to transfer to these two projects. ”

Wei Dongsheng nodded: "That's good, a good attitude is the basis for winning the Armageddon." ”

Chang Mingxia was stunned, and asked again and again: "Armageddon? ”

Wei Dongsheng smiled and said, "You don't think this is the end of the matter, do you?" ”

A thought flashed through Chang Mingxia's mind: "You said that if 3721 can't seek cooperation, IDG and Zhou Hongyi will attack us?" ”

Wei Dongsheng: "War is an extension of interests, and when negotiations fail to make progress, war will inevitably come immediately. Inform Jing Minqiang and all employees, especially the law firms we work with, to prepare for an all-out battle against the rogue software alliance led by 3721. ”

Chang Mingxia was shocked.

The war predicted by Wei Dongsheng came soon.

On September 4, 2003, Baidu filed a lawsuit against Spring and Autumn Software and 3721 for unfair competition with the Yanjing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court, accusing the Spring and Autumn Security Manager software under the name of Spring and Autumn Security Software and 3721's "3721 Network Real-Name" software obstructing the normal download, installation and operation of the "Baidu IE Search Companion" and "Baidu Soba" software.

On September 5, 2003, 3721 filed a lawsuit with the Yanjing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court against Chunqiu Software and Baidu for unfair competition, alleging that the Spring and Autumn Security Manager software under the name of Spring and Autumn Security Software and Baidu's "Baidu IE Search Companion" and "Baidu Soba" software were normally downloaded, installed, and operated.

When Baidu and 3721 bayonets saw red, they also pulled Spring and Autumn Software into the battlefield.

Detect and kill rogue software, but be sued by rogue software manufacturers for unfair competition.

This sounds incredible, but it is a helpless reality.

Don't say yes now, even in 2016, rogue software is still a black humor drama.

The technical requirements for detecting and killing rogue software are actually not high, but until 2017, why is there still an endless stream of rogue software in the mobile phone software market?

In particular, some security software, which has the ability to detect and kill many rogue software, has just let go of the silent installation of some family bucket packages.

Why?

The real reason is not that they can't be killed, but that they dare not be killed.

It's not that the detection and killing technology is not up to par, but the lack of legal supervision at the national level, the rogue software of small manufacturers naturally wants to be checked and killed, and when it comes to the silent installation software of well-known manufacturers, all antivirus software and security software are helpless. Because, when the antivirus software finds out that this kind of rogue is tied up and killed, the well-known vendor immediately sues you for unfair competition. Moreover, under the current law, this kind of unfair competition prosecution is allowed to be sued one by one.

From the computer age rogue software to the mobile phone age rogue software, this is a well-known unspoken rule.

The law is not a rogue who does not understand rogue software, but a deliberate inaction under the influence of certain interest groups.

The law protects rogue software from well-known vendors.

Law has never been synonymous with justice.

The law has always been a tool of the ruling class, and it has always been a tool for vested interests to protect their own interests.
