Ma Huateng's comeback, Chen Tianqiao's listing, and Ding Lei's pig farming.
Suddenly, the big names in the IT industry started to take action.
Ever since the beginning of the new millennium, the internet industry had been developing rapidly. In recent years, the big names in the IT industry had become more and more prominent in the business world.
Moreover, the age of the IT industry was not too old, and the speed at which they amassed wealth was fast.
Now, ordinary people were more concerned about this industry and this field. Compared to the industry tycoons, the outside world paid much less attention to the industry.
As if preparing for the Hua Mountain Sword Tournament, after these three people, the others also started to take action.
On September 21st, Xiaomi launched the first closed beta version of MIUI.
Xiaomi didn't start off in the mobile phone industry. After Lei Jun established Xiaomi, the first thing he did was to develop Xiaomi's MIUI system based on the Android system. This was also the reason why Xiaomi was included in the IT industry and not the manufacturing industry.
Xiaomi's path was actually similar to Apple's. It was more about playing with concepts and not actually producing products. Companies like OPPO and the Association were taking the manufacturing route.
When Lei Jun took action, Sohu's Old Zhang felt that these people were fighting alone, and the impact was not big enough.
Therefore, after they took action, Old Zhang made a big move!
On the 22nd, Sohu joined forces with 118 internet video websites and copyright holders to establish the "Hua Xia Online Video Anti-Piracy Alliance" in Beijing.
It was a big move!
Old Zhang invited all the heroes for the alliance's inaugural meeting.
Even Li Dong was invited because of the PP video incident. However, Li Dong did not go. He would not go anyway, and his father-in-law did not allow him to go.
Li Dong did not go, but LeTV's head, Old Jia, attended the meeting.
LeTV was a sh * t stirrer in the online video industry. Some time ago, they and Ku6 pushed the domestic online video copyright price to the peak. Recently, they probably felt the pressure and felt that they could not go head-on. They began to prepare to partner with Sohu.
Ma Huateng, Chen Tianqiao, Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, Lei Jun …
These people were all IT giants who were active on the frontline.
Although Ma Huateng no longer represented Tencent at the moment, he had managed to take down Ma Huateng, who had been playing around a lot. He could be considered to have made a fresh start and entered the IT industry once again.
In just a few days, these people started to move.
With that, it caused quite a commotion.
Far away and Ali were the only ones that had not made any big moves in the IT industry.
So far away, two companies had just gone public, and Ali had just celebrated its tenth anniversary a few days ago. At the same time, it had also made many moves.
When the outsiders thought about it carefully, they didn't know if it was a coincidence or if everyone had a tacit understanding that they all chose to do something during this period of time.
He heard the outside world discussing Ali, Far away, Sohu, and guessing Ma Huateng's next move …
Everyone had mentioned it, except for Qi Hu!
When Zhou Hongyi saw this situation, she felt extremely aggrieved.
Compared to these companies, compared to these big names, he was the veteran in the IT industry in Hua Xia. He had always been one of the leaders in this industry.
But now, in just a short period of time, the outside world had almost forgotten about him.
Wasn't it just creating trouble?
Wasn't it just creating momentum?
How could I, Zhou Hongyi, miss out on the Hua Mountain Sword Competition?
Ding Sanshi's pig could make the news, how could he be worse than him?
Zhou Hongyi, who had originally planned to make a big move in October, could no longer sit still. On the 23rd of September, Qi Hu did something that shocked the entire industry!
Zhou Hongyi got what he wanted, and on that day, he made the headlines of various news outlets.
On the 23rd of September, 2009, Qi Hu released the world's first permanently free anti-virus software!
This was the world's first, the first!
In the past, various anti-virus software manufacturers had also released free software in order to attract customers, but they were all limited.
Only Qi Hu turned the entire industry upside down. Under the shocked gazes of all the manufacturers, on the 23rd, they released the official version of 360 Anti-Virus 1.0.
Permanently free!
These four words were a milestone. In the field of anti-virus software, Qihoo had shocked the world with a single brilliant feat!
At the same time, when 360 Anti-Virus announced that it would be permanently free, other anti-virus manufacturers were also anxious.
The anti-virus manufacturers that had worked with Li Dong in the past all called Far Away, hoping that Far Away could step in and punish Qi Hu together!
This September, everyone was dazzled by what they saw.
This September, the international IT giants all turned their attention to Hua Xia.
Hua Xia's IT companies all went crazy, and so did the IT elites.
For the entire month of September, almost all of Hua Xia's IT companies were on the move.
At this time, the Hua Mountain Sword Competition also officially entered the eyes of the international giants.
Many people felt that the reason why all the giants were taking action in September was to prepare for the Hua Mountain Sword Competition, to create momentum for the competition.
In Wuxia novels, the Hua Mountain Sword Competition was a stage for all the giants to fight for supremacy.
Now, these people had decided to hold the summit on Hua Mountain, and before the summit, they all made a big move. No one would believe that they were not doing this to create momentum.
…
Far Away.
When the news came in one after another, Li Dong laughed involuntarily and said, "What's going on? Everyone is so crazy. It's just a gathering, is there a need to do this? "
Although these companies were already prepared for this, it didn't matter when they announced it.
But they knew that someone had announced something big in front of them. In the industry, unless the two companies were enemies, they wouldn't choose to announce news at the same time.
However, in the past week, all sorts of news, news, and conferences came one after another.
This also caused the big news to be overshadowed by the news that came later.
This was not good for the company's publicity, and it was actually not rational.
Originally, when Xiao Mi released a new system, it was considered a big deal. Xiao Mi should have at least needed some time to create momentum.
But now, right after it was done, 360 Anti-Virus was released, and Xiao Mi's news completely disappeared from the news.
It wasn't just Xiao Mi. Other than Ding Lei's pig farming, the other people and matters all disappeared from the news.
In the whole of September, there was too much news. The media, which used to be eager to publish some news, now had a headache.
He had just reported on Ma Huateng yesterday, and today, he was preparing to analyze in depth what kind of impact Ma Huateng might have on the industry if he were to take over more games …
In the end, before they could start analyzing and report on it, a new headline came out.
Just as they were preparing to publish new news, someone else made a big move.
At this moment, the media workers were both happy and in pain.
Li Dong was also watching one big show after another. He was a little dumbfounded and even had the urge to laugh.
These people were all crazy!
Liu Hong, who was sitting opposite him, sighed and said, "They're all crazy. This is what you know and see.
In fact, it's not just these people. These companies.
Ctrip announced yesterday afternoon that it was holding a strategic meeting with Go Where and the two parties might merge.
Youku also announced the day before yesterday that it had signed an online distribution agreement with DreamWorks Animation. DreamWorks Animation's movies will be available online for the first time to Hua Xia's fans.
Jingdong also announced the launch of its group buying website, becoming the third e-commerce platform in the country to allow group buying.
In addition, Tudou, Giant Network … all these companies, big or small, have also made their moves.
In the whole of September, to put it nicely, it's booming and enthusiastic.
To put it bluntly, it's a mess!
The whole IT industry is in a state of frenzy. General Manager Li, even I can't understand it now.
Tell me, is it really at this time, or is it just for the Summit in October?
Is there a need for a Summit?
At least, I don't understand it, and I don't understand it. "
Liu Hong really couldn't understand it. At least from his point of view, there was no need for it.
Even if they made a name for themselves before the Summit, what could they do?
Let's not talk about the big companies, but some small and medium-sized companies were also causing trouble. Weren't they courting death?
Youku, Tudou, Jingdong … these companies were actually not unknown in the IT industry.
But this time, no matter how big the commotion they made, they were ignored and ignored.
This was actually a loss for these companies.
And the loss was not small!
If it was any other time, it would be a big deal for Ctrip and Go to discuss a strategic merger. The two biggest travel websites in the country were discussing a merger, and it would attract a lot of attention.
But at this time, did anyone care?
Even Li Dong might not care about this, let alone the people outside the industry. They did not even get on the news, and even if they got on, it would only be in an inconspicuous section.
Liu Hong knew that it was because this was a big deal in the IT industry. Otherwise, he would not be in the mood to care about it.
Liu Hong didn't understand, and Li Dong was also speechless. "How would I know what they are thinking? Why do they have to come online all at once? At first, I thought that when I went to Hua Mountain, I would at most say a few words to Old Ma. Now, it seems that everyone is not willing to be lonely and ordinary. When the time comes, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch. Also, this time, they might not be ganging up on me. Actually, many companies do not have any business conflicts with me. Instead, they have their own business conflicts. Who knows, there might be a big fight this time. "
As he said this, Li Dong suddenly laughed. "I'm afraid Old Ma is also confused. His original intention was to fight with me, debate with me, and fight with me. I'm afraid he thought that he and I should be in charge of the conference. Now, the others are not satisfied and want to stir up some commotion. Actually, things have already exceeded his expectations … "
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.
When Li Dong replied, Zhou Lan, who was already preparing to go to Far Away Mall, entered the office and said, "General Manager Li, CEO Liu, I just received a call from the General Office, saying that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Internet Association … all these organizations have called. They are mainly asking about the summit. Also, they will be sending people to participate … "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly. "I'm not the one who organized it. What's the point of asking me? Tell them that it's up to them whether they want to come or not. If there's anything, look for Ali. "
After sending Zhou Lan away, Li Dong shook his head. "Things have blown up. The higher-ups can't sit still anymore."
Liu Hong was not surprised. He smiled and said, "This is inevitable. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to sit still. As the Internet becomes more and more important in the social system, it has a great impact. This time, all the elites in the industry are participating. And just by looking at the early movements, I'm afraid it's not reassuring. But it's a good thing that they are going. At least when a fight breaks out, there will be someone to mediate. "
If a fight broke out, it would naturally be a joke.
But if it was really fierce, these people were qualified to be the arbiters.
Liu Hong was an analogy. Li Dong laughed and said, "You don't say, it's not like there's no possibility of a fight breaking out. These fellows weren't good people either. It's fine if the media is around. Without the media, I haven't seen any fights. But scolding at the scene is a common thing. If the scolding gets angry, one party can't hold it in and fight. "
It's common for entrepreneurs to quarrel.
In public or in private, differences in ideals and tempers, all kinds of scolding. Li Dong had encountered all these before.
But it's rare to see a fight.
At least, Li Dong has never seen one.
Of course, this is not including Li Dong himself. Back then, he had a conflict with Pengfei Real Estate's Wang Pengfei and the others at a hotel. That was not a one-on-one fight. That time, Li Dong was beaten up like a panda, and Wang Pengfei and the others had their ribs broken.
Even now, such scandalous news can often be seen on the internet.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Liu Hong smiled bitterly. "It's best if such a scene doesn't happen. Everyone is still rational …"
Rational is because most of the giants in the IT industry are highly educated and educated.
Even Li Dong, although he is young and not very educated, he still has a bachelor's degree from 211 University.
He is better than the giants in the industrial industry.
But the industrial tycoons are older, and their tempers are better. The giants in the IT industry are younger, and they are more hot-tempered.
Both of them chatted for a while, and Li Dong did not say anything else.
No matter what the others do, it has nothing to do with him.
No matter what happens, the foundation is there.
But in the end, Liu Hong still hesitated. "General Manager Li, what should we do about Qihoo's free service?"
Li Dong laughed. "What else can we do? They are free, and you can't stop them. If you stop them, the PC users will scold us. They can do whatever they want, and we don't have much business in this area. We had invested in a few other companies, but it's up to them whether it's free or not. It doesn't matter if we make a loss or make a profit. Oh, since Qihoo is free, so is ours. "
"Ours?"
Liu Hong paused for a second. Li Dong said calmly. "Far Away had reached an agreement with them not to do these things.
But Tencent does not have them, right?
Far Away does not represent Tencent. Tencent is a restructured company, and Tencent is already doing these things. We can't change Tencent's strategy just because we reached an agreement with them, right?
Tencent is a listed company, and it is an independent company.
This is not a conflict.
Of course, we are not in the public market, and we only focus on our own products. It won't affect them.
Their top priority is to deal with the crisis brought by Qihoo, and it won't affect them if we release our own Safety Guard product. "
Liu Hong thought for a second and nodded. "I understand."
It is necessary to be thick-skinned as a company.
Furthermore, what Li Dong said is right. Far Away had agreed not to do these things, but Tencent is a company they acquired, and Tencent is already doing these things.
Far Away might acquire some other companies in the future, and they can't just shut down the companies they acquired just because of their agreement.
Both parties did not have a clear agreement on this before.
Furthermore, Li Dong had also said that they will only be the Safety Guard for their own products. Although this is the same as doing all of their products, it is still an answer to Tencent.
…
After Liu Hong left, Li Dong shook his head and laughed.
It's better if it's chaotic.
This period is the last time the cards will be reshuffled.
The internet industry has entered a new era under the push of various parties.
The beginning of the new golden age would definitely be chaotic.
After some time, those that should close down will close down, those that should go bankrupt will go bankrupt, and those that should merge will merge …
When that time comes, the situation will be clear.
Of course, when that time comes, it will be hard for the latecomers to take advantage of the chaos and rise.
In fact, 2009 was the best time for new companies to rise.
If they don't rise now, it will be difficult in the future.
Li Dong is now a little curious. This time, will some companies take advantage of the situation and break the current established situation?
