Chapter 1631 Lively September
Ma Huateng is back, Chen Tianqiao is on the market, and Ding Lei raises pigs.
All of a sudden, big names in the IT industry took action one after another.
Since entering the new millennium, the Internet industry has developed rapidly. In recent years, big names in the IT industry have become more and more prominent in the business world.
In addition, the age of IT is generally not too old, and the speed of amassing wealth is also fast.
Nowadays, ordinary people are actually more concerned about this industry. Compared with industrial tycoons, this field has received much less attention from the outside world.
As if preparing for the Huashan Discussion of Swords, after these three people, others also started to act.
On September 21, Xiaomi Technology launched the first beta version of MIUI.
Xiaomi didn’t make mobile phones from the very beginning. After Lei Jun founded Xiaomi, he first developed a Xiaomi-owned system based on the Android system, that is, the MIUI system. This is why Xiaomi was included in the IT field rather than the manufacturing field.
Xiaomi's approach is actually similar to Apple's approach. It is more about playing with concepts than actually producing products. Companies such as OPPO and Lenovo are taking the manufacturing route.
Lei Jun was on the move, and Lao Zhang from Sohu felt that these people were fighting alone, and the impact was not big enough.
So, right after they acted, Lao Zhang did a big one!
On the 22nd, Sohu teamed up with 118 Internet video sites and copyright owners to establish the "China Online Video Anti-Piracy Alliance" in Beijing.
The momentum is huge!
At the founding meeting of the alliance that day, Lao Zhang invited heroes from all walks of life.
Even Li Dong was invited because of the PP video, but Li Dong didn't go, not to mention he wouldn't have gone, let alone the old man wouldn't let him go.
Li Dong did not go, but Lao Jia, the head of LeTV who has risen in the past two years, did.
LeEco is originally a shit-stirring stick in the field of online video. Some time ago, together with Kuliu, they pushed the price of domestic Internet video copyright to the peak. Recently, they probably felt the pressure and felt that they couldn’t do it hard.
Ma Huateng, Chen Tianqiao, Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, Lei Jun...
these people,
They are all IT giants who are active in the front line today.
Even Ma Huateng, although he no longer represents Teng Xun at the moment, can be regarded as a fresh start and enter the IT field again if he wins the multi-playing Ma Huateng.
In just a few days, these people took action one after another.
This time, it caused quite a commotion.
At this moment, there is no big movement in the IT field, only Yuanfang and Ali.
However, Yuanfang only had two companies go public not long ago, and Ali just celebrated its 10th anniversary a few days ago, and also made a lot of moves.
Outsiders carefully calculated, good guy, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or everyone’s tacit understanding, they all chose to make some moves during this period of time and heard the outside world talking about Ali, talking about the distance, discussing Sohu, guessing Ma Huateng’s next move... …
Everyone mentioned it, but Qihu was the only one who didn't mention it!
When Zhou Hongyi saw this situation, he felt extremely aggrieved.
Compared to these companies, compared to these big names, he is considered an old man in China's IT field, and has always been one of the leaders in this industry.
But now, not long after, the outside world has almost forgotten him.
Isn't it just making trouble?
Isn't it just building momentum?
Huashan Lunjian, can I miss Zhou Hongyi?
Ding Sanshi can be on the news even if he raises a pig, so he is worse than that guy?
Zhou Hongyi, who was planning to make a big move in October, couldn't sit still. On September 23, Qihoo did a big event that shocked everyone inside and outside the industry!
Zhou Hongyi got what she wanted and made headlines on this day.
On September 23, 2009, Qihoo launched the world's first permanent free antivirus software!
This is the first in the world, the first!
In the past, various anti-virus software manufacturers, in order to attract customers, also made it free, but they were all for a limited time.
Only Qihoo has subverted the entire field. While all manufacturers were stunned, on the 23rd, they released the official version of 360 Antivirus 1.0.
Forever free!
These four words are milestones. In the field of anti-virus software, Qihoo has achieved nothing but a blockbuster!
At the same time, as the 360 anti-virus software announced that it will be permanently free, other anti-virus vendors are also in a hurry.
The anti-virus software manufacturers that had cooperated with Li Dong before called Yuanfang one after another at this time, hoping that Yuanfang could come forward and sanction Qihoo together!
This September, everyone is dazzled.
This September, international IT giants have set their sights on Huaxia.
China's IT companies are crazy, and so are the IT elites.
Throughout September, almost all IT companies in China were in action.
At this time, Huashan Lunjian officially entered the sight of foreign giants.
Many people feel that the actions of the major giants in September are to prepare for the Huashan Discussion of Swords and to create momentum for the Discussion of Swords.
Huashan Lunjian, in martial arts novels, is originally a stage where giants from all sides compete for hegemony.
Now, these people are scheduled to hold a summit in Huashan. Before the summit, they made big noises one after another. If it is not for building momentum, no one will believe it.
...
distance.
When the news came one after another, Li Dong laughed dumbly and said: "What's the matter?
Everyone is so crazy, just a party, is it worth it? "
Although it is said that these companies have actions at this time, they are all things that have been prepared, and it does not matter when they release.
But knowing that someone has released big news in front of them, in the industry, unless the two are hostile, otherwise, at this time, they will not choose adjacent times to release new news.
However, in the past week, various news, various news, and various press conferences have continued one after another.
This also caused the big news to be overshadowed by the latecomers as soon as the previous ones released the big news.
This is not good for the publicity of the enterprise, and it is actually irrational.
Originally, Xiaomi's launch of the new system was considered a major event, and Xiaomi had to build momentum for at least a while.
But now, just after finishing it, 360 free antivirus came out, and the news of Xiaomi completely disappeared from the news.
Not only Xiaomi, those guys in front, except for Ding Lei raising pigs, were still discussing, and other people and things disappeared from the news page.
Throughout September, there was too much news. The media from all over the world, who used to be eager to get some news, are now as big as bulls.
I just reported about Ma Huateng yesterday, and today I am going to make an in-depth analysis. Ma Huateng’s entry into the business will play more games, what impact it may have, and what impact it may have on the industry...
The result was good, the analysis hadn't started, and the continuous report hadn't been done yet, and a new headline came out again.
Just about to make new news here, someone made a big commotion over there.
At this moment, media workers are both happy and miserable.
Li Dong also watched a series of big dramas, and he was a little stunned, and even had the urge to laugh.
These people are crazy!
Liu Hong, who was sitting opposite him, sighed: "They are all crazy, you know this, you saw it.
In fact, it's not just these people, these companies.
Ctrip announced yesterday afternoon that it will hold strategic talks with Qunar, and the two parties may merge.
Youku also announced the day before yesterday that it has signed an online distribution agreement with American DreamWorks Animation. DreamWorks movies will meet Chinese movie fans on the online platform for the first time.
JD.com also announced not long ago that its group buying website has been launched, making it the third e-commerce platform in China to open group buying.
In addition, Tudou, Giant Network... These companies have all made moves, big or small.
Throughout September, it's booming, to put it mildly, and enthusiasm is running high.
To put it bluntly, what a gibberish!
The entire IT field has fallen into a state of madness. Mr. Li, I can't understand it now.
You said, is it really at this time, or is it just for the summit in October?
A summit, as for?
At least, I didn't understand it, nor did I understand it. "
Liu Hong really didn't understand, at least in his opinion, it was unnecessary.
Even if he had gained a lot of fame before the summit, so what?
Not to mention big companies, some small and medium-sized enterprises have also added to the chaos, isn't this courting death?
Youku, Tudou, JD... These companies are actually not unknown in the IT industry.
But this time, no matter how loud the noise they made was, it was ignored and ignored.
This is actually a loss for the company.
And the loss is not small!
In normal times, Ctrip and Qunar are discussing a strategic merger, which is considered a major event. The merger of the two largest travel websites in China will not attract too little attention.
But at this time, does anyone care?
Even Li Dong probably didn't pay attention to this, let alone people outside the industry, the news wasn't on it, and even if it was, it was just an inconspicuous section.
Liu Hong knew that it was because this was a major event in the IT industry, otherwise, he wouldn't be in the mood to pay attention.
Liu Hong didn't understand, and Li Dong said speechlessly: "How do I know what they think, they insist on going online in a swarm.
Originally, I was thinking that if I went to Huashan, I would at most have a few words with the old horse.
It's all right now, it seems that everyone is unwilling to be lonely, unwilling to be ordinary, and when the time comes, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch.
And this time, it's not necessarily besieging me. Many companies actually have no business conflicts with me, but they themselves have quite a few business conflicts.
Maybe, this time, it will be a big fight. "
As he said that, Li Dong suddenly smiled and said: "At this time, the old horse may also be confused. He originally meant to argue with me this time, to argue, to fight.
I'm afraid he is thinking, the conference is still dominated by me and him.
It's all right now, the others are not reconciled, and they have to make some noise, the matter has actually exceeded his expectations..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the office door.
When Li Dong answered, Zhou Lan, who was about to go to the faraway mall, came in and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, just now the general office called, saying that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Internet Association...these organizations have all called.
Mainly asking about the summit, and the other party will also come to attend..."
Li Dong slightly raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not my organization, what's the use of asking me.
Tell them that they are free to come or not, and they can go to Ali if they need anything. "
After sending Zhou Lan away, Li Dong shook his head and said, "It's a big deal, and the higher-ups can't sit still."
Liu Hong was not surprised, smiled and said: "This is inevitable, no one can sit still.
As the Internet occupies an increasingly important position in the social system, it has a great impact.
This time, the elites of the entire industry have participated, and just looking at the previous movement, I'm afraid it can't be reassuring.
But it's a good thing for them to go, at least when the time comes, there will be someone to persuade them to fight. "
When they fight, they are naturally joking.
But it's really noisy, these people are still qualified to be arbitrators.
Liu Hong made an analogy, while Li Dong said with a smile: "Don't say it, the possibility of a fight is not impossible.
These guys are not good stuff either.
It's good that the media is there, but the media isn't there. I haven't seen the hands-on yet, but scolding mothers on the spot is commonplace.
If one of them gets angry by scolding, it is only natural for one party to hold back. "
Quarreling among entrepreneurs is very common.
Li Dong has encountered such things in public and private occasions, disagreement in ideas, disagreement in temper, and all kinds of national abuse.
But when it comes to fighting, it's rare.
At least Li Dong didn't see it.
Of course, this is not counting Li Dong himself. Back then, he and Wang Pengfei from Pengfei Real Estate had a conflict at the hotel. Broken ribs.
Up to now, these black news can still be seen on the Internet from time to time.
Hearing what Li Dong said, Liu Hong smiled wryly and said, "It's better not to have such a scene, everyone is actually rational..."
Speaking of reason, it is because most of the giants in the IT industry are highly educated and educated.
Even Li Dong, although young and not too educated, still has a bachelor's degree from 211 University.
This point is stronger than the giants in the industry.
However, industrial tycoons are generally older, and their tempers are better. Big names in the IT industry are younger, and sometimes they seem to be a lot more irritable.
The two talked for a while, but Li Dong didn't say anything more.
How other people struggle has nothing to do with him.
No matter how much you toss, the bottom line is there.
But in the end, Liu Hong still hesitated and said, "Mr. Li, how should we deal with Qihoo's free matter?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "What else can I do? It's free, how can you stop me?
If you stop it, PC users will scold us to death.
They give theirs for free, and we don’t have much business in this area. Last time, we bought a few shares in several other companies, but it’s free or charged, it’s up to them.
Whether it is a loss or a profit, it does not affect us too much.
By the way, Qihoo is free, so is ours. "
"our?"
Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, Li Dong said flatly: "Yuan Fang reached an agreement with them before, and he will not do these things himself.
But isn't there no Teng Xun?
Yuanfang does not represent Teng Xun. Teng Xun is a reorganized company. Originally, Teng Xun was doing these things. We can’t change Teng Xun’s established strategy just because we have reached an agreement with the other party, right?
Teng Xun is a listed company and an independent company.
This point, no conflict.
Of course, we don't do mass business, we only do our own product business, and it doesn't have much impact on them.
Their top priority is how to deal with the crisis brought by Qihoo. At this time, we released our own security guard product as planned, which has no impact. "
Liu Hong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I see."
To be a business, it is necessary to have a thick skin.
What's more, what Li Dong said was right, Yuanfang promised himself not to do it before, but Teng Xun was an acquired company, and Teng Xun was already doing these things.
In the future, Yuanfang may acquire some companies. It is impossible to directly ban the acquired companies from doing these things because of the previous agreement between the two parties.
This point has not been clearly stipulated by the two parties before.
What's more, Li Dong also said that he only works as a security guard for his own products. Although this is the same as doing all of them, it can be regarded as an explanation to the other party.
...
When Liu Hong left, Li Dong shook his head and laughed again.
Be messy, be messy.
This period is originally the period of the last shuffling.
The Internet field, up to now, has entered a new era under the promotion of all parties.
The beginning of a new golden age must be chaotic at the beginning.
It will be fine after a while, the bankruptcy that should be closed, the bankruptcy that should be bankrupt, the merger that should be merged...
At that time, the situation will be completely clear.
Of course, at that time, it will be difficult for latecomers to fish in troubled waters and rise in troubled times.
The period of 2009 was actually the best time for some new companies to rise.
If it doesn't rise at this time, it will be difficult afterwards.
Li Dong is now a little curious. This time, will some companies take advantage of the trend to rise and break the current established situation?
