Chapter 356: Leadership, This Is Normal Operation

"Zhou Hongyi, Zhou Hongyi..."

"Let's go to 3721 headquarters."

"Mr. Li, calm down, calm down."

Li Yanhong, who ran wild in the office, vomited blood with anger.

Before that, he was also preparing to cooperate with major TV stations to further promote the search positioning of [Baidu, you will know] to the whole country. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the road, a 3721 was killed, and the rogue means directly blocked more than half of their Baidu traffic.

This is Chi Guoguo's robbery.

If all software does this in the future, the Internet will be messed up.

Li Yanhong, who was furious, wished that he could Pk with Zhou Hongyi in person.

"Calm down, can I calm down?"

"Mr. Li, now our most important thing is not to fight with them, but to solve this crisis."

Liu Jianguo comforted Li Yanhong.

Although he was also extremely angry, he knew that it was useless to be angry now.

Let 3721 hijack their Baidu for one more day, the more dangerous their Baidu will be.

"Okay, Jian Guo, what do you say?"

Li Yanhong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He also knew the seriousness of the matter.

I know better, even if he went to the 3721 headquarters, it would be useless.

Is it really a fight with Zhou Hong?

This is impossible.

"3721 is doing business such as Internet plug-ins. It does not overlap with our Baidu business. Therefore, we basically can't threaten 3721. We can't find trouble now, and we can only look for opportunities in the future."

Liu Jianguo analyzed: "The main driving force behind the scenes should be Huanyu Technology."

"You mean we should look for Universal Technology?"

"Huanyu Technology will say that it does not know at all,

He will put the blame on 3721. "

"Does that mean you are still looking for 3721?"

"It's useless to look for 3721, they're probably going to argue with us. The best way is to find them. The company launched a trial method on the Internet last year, although it's not particularly perfect, but they can't ignore it. And the search engine is not good for the company. It is also very important, if the market really allows 3721 to do this, it will be messed up.”

"Jianguo, you are right."

Li Yanhong nodded: "I was irrational just now. This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, we can't afford it."

Li Yanhong is not someone who gets angry easily. After calming down, he knows that this is not the time to ask 3721 for trouble.

Their most urgent task now is to find someone to put pressure on 3721.

And the sooner the better.

If this drags on for a long time, Baidu will be finished.

"I'll look for it over there. By the way, Jian Guo, can you find a relationship at Peking University?"

"Mr. Li, don't worry, although I'm no longer at Peking University, I still have some relationship with Peking University."

Although Peking University is a school, its influence is not simple.

Liu Jianguo was a professor at Peking University before, so finding some connections was not a problem at all.

"Okay, we'll act on both sides."

Without further ado, Li Yanhong and CTO Liu Jianguo acted separately.

Of course, after receiving the report from Baidu, the superior also dispatched a special person to deal with the incident as soon as possible.

In any case, the incident had a big impact.

It not only affects Baidu's market, but also affects the Internet code of conduct.

Although the domestic Internet laws and regulations are not yet sound, if this incident is not dealt with effectively, there will be huge problems in regulating the domestic Internet in the future.

Therefore, it is very important to attach great importance to this event.

After communicating with Baidu, I went to the 3721 headquarters the next day.

However, for the arrival of the relevant departments above, Zhou Hongyi, the boss of 3721, is not a vegetarian.

Zhou Hongyi said that they did not forcefully modify the user's homepage. When they modified the user's homepage, a modification prompt box popped up. After the user clicked confirm, 3721 would make the modification settings. The relevant department said why the pop-up prompt box only has "yes" and no "no". Zhou Hongyi said that this is not what they do at 3721, and other Internet companies do the same.

Not only other Internet companies have done this, hao123 has done it too.

Moreover, not only hao123 has done this, Baidu has also done it.

Such an approach is the normal operation of an Internet company and is nothing.

Faced with such an answer, the leaders of the relevant departments were a little confused.

Do all Internet companies do this?

To this end, they went back to Baidu again to ask specifically if there was any such thing?

Baidu Li Yanhong was a little embarrassed.

They did Baidu indeed.

However, they are only advisory and do not force changes to the user's personal home page.

The relevant departments have some headaches now.

If you dare to report others for using rogue tactics, you have used it yourself.

As for why you report it now, it's just that your rogue means are not enough for others to rogue.

"Mr. Li, this matter is a bit difficult to handle."

"Director Wang, you may have misunderstood the Internet. Our operation is fundamentally different from that of 3721. We only recommend users to set Baidu's website as their personal homepage when they use Baidu's products. But 3721 No, they will first query the personal homepage of the PC computer, and then forcibly modify it. That is to say, regardless of whether the user visits the 2345 or Yisou website, they will modify it maliciously."

"It's almost the same."

Director Wang said: "Whether it is forcible modification or suggested modification, you have violated the personal rights and interests of users, but 3721 has done more."

"Director Wang, I assure you that we Baidu will never have such operations again. But if operations like 3721 continue, then the entire domestic Internet will be threatened by him. If things go on like this, the entire domestic Internet market will not develop. , 3721 has been charging our protection fee before."

"Protection fee, what do you say?"

"Director Wang, it's like this. 3721 has a function that can screen out advertisements. If this plug-in is used, the advertisements of major websites will not be displayed. But you also know that major websites rely on what to survive, not just relying on Advertisements? If there are no advertisements at once, they will go out of business. 3721 directly said, either you pay a monthly fee, or we will screen your advertisements, which is actually the same as the protection fee in reality. of."

"In this way, there are indeed many irregularities in this 3721."

Although Director Wang is in charge of the Internet, the Internet is an emerging product, and he is not an expert in it. Even if it is an expert here, new things happen in an endless stream on the Internet every day. As a manager, how can he know everything. Now that Li Yanhong was kicked out of the bucket all of a sudden, Director Wang became more serious.

However, Director Wang did not listen to Li Yanhong's one-sided words. After thinking about it, Director Wang said: "Mr. Li, so, tomorrow I will invite the person in charge of 3721 over, and you can communicate with him face to face."

"Can."

"By the way, you said that the mastermind behind it is Huanyu Technology?"

"It should be them."

Li Yanhong nodded: "3721 doesn't have much overlap with our business. We are not direct competitors with them, and they don't have to deal with me like this. However, we are in direct competition with Huanyu Technology in the search field. And this time, 3721 is also helping The 2345 website navigation under Universal Technology and Yisou's modified personal homepage are the ones who benefit the most."

"Okay, then I'll call them up tomorrow."

"Director Wang, can you not call Huanyu Technology first?"

"why?"

"The main reason is that my side is just guessing, and there is no evidence."

"Although there is no evidence, everyone knows that this does not require evidence."

Director Wang said directly: "I will host at that time, you don't have to worry."

"I……"

Li Yanhong wanted to say more, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Of course he didn't want to call Chen Yu over because he had no evidence.

Mainly, he has some means of being afraid of Chen Yu.

If the time comes to pull Chen Yu over, he is really worried that he is not this guy's opponent.

"Director Wang, I think we should look for 3721 first, and Huanyu Technology can look for it in the next step."

"No need."

Director Wang refused and said, "If you don't find the right master how to solve this incident, after all, this incident was initiated by Huanyu Technology. Well, that's it, the above will definitely handle your incident fairly."

"Then... just, thank Director Wang very much."

Li Yanhong said with a smile.
