Chapter 2023 Traveling Browser

Xiao Qi did not immediately tell Long Bowen whether he had successfully applied for this position.

But when he left, Long Bowen himself had a feeling that he should be sure of the position of general manager of APP Software Incubation Park.

Not to mention Long Bowen's sudden radiance and bright future, Xiao Qi welcomed another guest at noon.

His name is Chen Yu. He is 38 years old. He is thin and wears a pair of big black-rimmed glasses. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a student who is studying dead in school.

Of course, Chen Yu is not an otaku. He is the boss of an Internet company. The name of this company is Aoyou. Everyone should be familiar with their product—Aoyou browser, which is Maxthoc, the most famous one called MyIE. browser.

A few years ago, Aoyou browser was hailed as the best domestic browser in Huaguo.

But in April of this year, 360, the Internet giant, began to release its own 360 browser. With the help of 360 Security Guard, the biggest killer, 360 browser quickly replaced the single-function roaming browser. The number of users in just one month surpassed that of Aoyou.

This was a heavy blow to the roaming company, who always believed that he was the number one in Huaguo, and even the boss Chen Yu.

But Chen Yu didn't know that this blow was just the beginning.

In the next year, Sogou Browser will rely on Sogou Input Method to defeat Aoyou Browser again and blow their confidence again.

Whether it is 360 or Sogou, the reason for defeating Aoyou is very simple, that is, they have their own carrier, and Aoyou browser is just a browser, lacking in-depth channels, let alone interaction with users.

By 2014, when Google Chrome was added, the top three would no longer have the opportunity to roam.

The most important thing is the market share. When Microsoft browser is added, the four major browsers directly account for 90% of the market share. Aoyou browser only accounts for about 5%, compared to before 2008. It is simply the gap between heaven and earth.

Xiao Qi's fairy browser has been downloaded and used for free in the APP STORE, but it is only applicable to the fairy system, that is to say, only Dream Pad, Dream Stars, Dream Pad2 and the future Dream Snow can be used, and the rest of the systems Next, compatibility becomes an issue.

Xiao Qi did not forget. He wanted to create a mobile browser that is more powerful than UC Browser, so after detailed consideration, he finally set his goal on Aoyou Browser.

The first reason is that the technology of Aoyou browser is very mature, and the research and development team are experts who have worked in this industry for several years, which is enough to handle a mobile browser.

The second reason is that Aoyou Browser is currently the only target with relatively clear equity and not very smooth development. They have just been hit by 360. So be a little more pragmatic now.

Their later failure was not due to the backwardness of technology, but because they did not grasp the pace of this ever-changing world.

Sitting in the private room on the third floor of the legendary Fairy Canteen. While eating delicious food, Chen Yu looked at the crowd passing by outside the window.

There are many beauties here. There are also laughing workers, and there are many foreigners.

Chen Yu noticed that they had one thing in common, that is, they exuded a positive aura all over their bodies, and they seemed to be full of vigor.

Thinking about his Aoyou browser, everyone in the company was very disappointed, and Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Why have I been working on a browser for so many years, but I still can't succeed in the end?

While thinking about it, Chen Yu asked this question by the way.

"It's very simple. Thinking!" Xiao Qi said directly to him: "You lack an overall thinking, a thinking ahead of the current situation."

"Could it be that my browser is not doing well? Not leading enough? Whether it's speed, compatibility, pictures or freezes. I'm always ahead of my opponents. IE is not as easy to use as my Aoyou!" Chen Yu said a little angrily.

In front of Xiao Qi, he can't be arrogant, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have his own persistence.

Xiao Qi didn't care either. In his past and present lives, Chen Yu was not a serious businessman at all. He was more suitable to be a technical director, but he couldn't grasp the market.

"The question is, why do people insist on using your Aoyou?" Xiao Qi asked back: "Your Aoyou doesn't have any support, it's just surfing the web. There is no Windows system support for IE, and there is no 360 security guard for the 360 ​​browser. Links and extensions in all aspects, why do you say that others insist on using yours? Is there a big difference?"

Chen Yu was speechless.

Although Aoyou is very easy to use, there is no fundamental change beyond others in essence. It is really just a web browser.

Xiao Qi continued: "Let's not talk about Microsoft and 360, I said that if Google uses its search platform as a browser, do you think people who are used to Google search will like to use it? And our domestic whiteness, It can also be such a browser, do you think it can compare to other people's network traffic?"

Chen Yu was in a cold sweat.

He can't even resist 360, let alone Baidu, which is 10 times stronger than 360, let alone Google, which is 10 times stronger than Baidu!

Speaking of which, the future of Aoyou is really not easy!

"Then Xiao Dong, how do you think we should go?" Chen Yu asked after thinking about it.

"It's very simple, just change your thinking." Xiao Qi said lightly, "In addition to the functions of the browser, Aoyou should pay more attention to developing other application functions. I have two projects here. As long as the Aoyou browser loads them, It can completely reverse the situation and once again take the lead in the country.”

"What project?" Chen Yu's eyes widened.

"Many times, creative ideas make sense as soon as they are said, and they are worthless." Xiao Qi shrugged and said, "Mr. Chen, let's continue eating!"

Although Chen Yu was not expected to do business, he immediately understood that this was a secret related to the company's development. Of course, it was impossible for Xiao Qi to disclose it to him before the cooperation was negotiated. Otherwise, if he was not kind, he would directly Wouldn't it be a disadvantage for Xiao Qi to steal the idea?

In fact, he didn't have the idea of ​​stealing other people's ideas, not to mention that this person is Xiao Qi. If he dared to steal Xiao Qi's ideas, even if the browser business is done well, the entire Hua Kingdom would not have a place for him. landed.

"Mr. Xiao, don't tempt me. My old Chen came to Rongcheng today because of the promise you made." Chen Yu thought for a long time but couldn't think of any coup to bring Aoyou back to life, so he put down his chopsticks , directly said: "300 million to buy all the shares of Aoyou Browser, and all management and technical personnel will stay. And in the next three years, the annual investment will not be less than 200 million. If these conditions are true, then I can rely on I have already obtained the authorization to sign a share sale agreement with you!"

"Oh? Your shareholders agreed?" Xiao Qi asked in surprise.

"There's nothing they can do if they don't agree. Firstly, their shares don't account for much, and secondly, Aoyou has made very little money over the years. It's rare that the price has doubled. They are naturally willing to sell their shares." Chen Yu is really honest. , didn’t know how to bargain, and directly expressed everyone’s thoughts: “As for our founding team, it’s even simpler. Just by sharing this money, each of us is at least hundreds of thousands of wealth. To have such With a rich net worth, plus you Xiao Dong's unlimited financial resources to support us, this kind of good deed is exactly what everyone dreams of, how could you refuse it?"

Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing.

Yes.

After earning money, I then hug a golden thigh. If it was me instead, why would I be unhappy?

"Okay then, after dinner later, let's discuss the details of the contract!" It was rare to meet such a straightforward person, Xiao Qi immediately made a decision, "If there is no problem, let's sign the purchase contract today. "

"it is good!"

A stone fell from Chen Yu's heart, and he immediately speeded up and started to eat lunch.

As he said, in China, it is definitely an honor for the company that Fairy Company wants to acquire.

After being hit by 360 to seize the market, Aoyou Company originally needed investment and a new time for progress.

Suddenly, Xiao Qi offered 300 million yuan to buy their company, which was only valued at 80 million yuan, which was definitely something few people could refuse.

What's more, Xiao Qi doesn't want them to leave. After buying the company, he still has to reuse them, and will invest at least 600 million yuan in succession. This is the best for technicians who like research.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Chen Yu to rush to Rongcheng just one day after receiving the letter of intent from Fairy Company.

It's not because Xiao Qi wants to acquire Aoyou, so he deliberately talks nonsense about his creative ideas.

In fact, it is very simple to change the weakness of Aoyou.

The first one can learn Sogou. After Sogou launched Sogou Pinyin in 2006, it launched Sogou Browser in 2009, which was extremely popular.

Aoyou already has a browser, Xiao Qi only needs to ask Aoyou to launch an Aoyou input method immediately, and he can directly take a step ahead of Sogou.

The second is to open up a new battlefield for Aoyou, put all its efforts in the mobile browser, and with the strong financial support of Xiao Qi, directly seize the share that UC browser should have.

Once these two methods are implemented, it will be the turn of Aoyou Browser to be the number one browser in China!

Oh, it should be the No. 1 roaming browser owned by Fairy Company! (to be continued ~^~)

PS:   Speaking of Maxthon browser, it’s actually quite a pity, but it can only be said that they lack a big vision and a big strategy. This is similar to the pioneer Lianzhong game of online battle games. How many people now know that Doudizhu, Mahjong, Junqi, Chess and other games were the first to run on the entire network?
