"Big Pao, it's time to make a move."
"Haha, Chen Yu, I thought you wouldn't call me."
"Baidu has already used his killer move. There's nothing I can do about it."
Based on the current situation, even if Baidu launched three new services, in addition to the [Baidu, you'll know] brand positioning, Baidu's market share would not explode in an instant. After all, with such a high market share, how could it explode in an instant? However, Chen Yu knew that once Baidu's brand positioning was deeply rooted in people's hearts, Huanyu Technologies would not be able to compete with them in the future.
It was just like Sohu in his previous life. Although it was not bad, it was still a far cry from Baidu.
Other than the technical reasons, it was more because Baidu was already deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Originally, Chen Yu wanted to consolidate Baidu's market share. But now, it seemed that he could not give Baidu a chance.
Chen Yu took out his phone and called Zhou Hongyi.
"Don't give me that. You have a lot of ideas. You just don't want to ruin your reputation."
"How can that be? My reputation is not good either."
"No matter how bad your reputation is, is it worse than mine? Okay, okay. Since my reputation is not good, I'll continue to be the bad guy. "
Zhou Hongyi did not have any psychological burden.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Hongyi followed the plan that he had discussed with Chen Yu.
At this time, 3721's technical department sent a code.
Immediately, 3721's internet assistant started to automatically modify the homepage.
Okay.
It was not an automatic modification of the homepage. Although 3721 was a hooligan, it still reminded the user.
Would you like to set 2345 as your personal homepage? Yes …
Yes. There was only a "Yes" option. There was no "No".
You can choose not to, but if you don't, it will keep reminding you.
As for 2345, it was a URL that was basically the same as hao123.
This was a URL navigation website created by Huanyu Technologies.
If the user's original homepage was hao123, then changing it to 2345 would not affect the user at all.
99% of the users would not realize that their homepage changed from hao123 to 2345.
Of course, 3721 did not do this to promote 2345.
In fact, 2345 was also promoted in this forced modification.
The real purpose of changing his personal homepage was to promote Easy Search.
This was because Yi Search's search box was located at the top of 2345's URL navigation.
Many users relied on URL navigation to search.
They didn't know if the search was Baidu or something else, but they knew that they could use the search box to search for the content they wanted.
At this time, if he put an 'Easy Search' on 2345, it would be the same for them.
In addition, if the user's original personal homepage was baidu, then at this time, it could be changed to yisou.
Although Yi Search and Baidu's search interface were different, more than 95% of them were the same.
As for why?
It wasn't Huanyu Technologies' intention to imitate it.
The problem was that regardless of whether it was Baidu or Yi Search, both were search engines.
The other 95% and above were all white.
Moreover, even if it was a search box, it was actually the same. It was just that the logo was different.
For ordinary users, 50% of them might not realize it for a while.
For the remaining 50%, there was a 50% chance that they might not change their homepage back for the time being.
In the end, only 20% of them might change back to their original Baidu homepage.
In other words, this move could block at least 50% of Baidu's IP flow, or even more.
In fact, this was indeed the case.
When 3721 began to change his personal homepage, Yi Search's IP flow instantly skyrocketed.
If Huanyu Technologies hadn't been prepared, this skyrocketing IP flow would have directly crushed Yi Search's server.
"Oh my god …"
"Boss Chen, this is too scary."
"Blocking more than half of Baidu's IP flow in one go, this is simply a disaster."
Such an IP stream gave Zhang Jianming a fright.
Even if he was prepared, he was still stimulated by such an IP flow.
With this move, Yi Search would be on the same level as Baidu in minutes.
No, it was even more awesome.
"Hehe, this is an eye-opener."
As expected, it felt good to be a rogue software.
With this method, it was even more awesome than using cheats.
No wonder 3721 could be sold for 120 million USD in his previous life.
Without mentioning anything else, just this move alone was worth this price.
"It really is an eye-opener."
Zhang Jianming nodded fiercely, "If this continues, it won't be a problem for us to destroy Baidu."
"Heh, do you think the higher-ups are useless?"
Chen Yu said with a smile.
This kind of thing was too outrageous. Although the laws and regulations of the Internet were not very complete, the higher-ups couldn't just sit by and do nothing. However, even if they stepped in, it would be fine. With just a few moves, Yi Search's market share would increase. By then, even if they didn't use rogue methods, Yi Search would still be able to fight a few hundred rounds with Baidu.
Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu gave Zhou Hongyi a call.
"Chen Yu, how is it? Are you satisfied with the results?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
"Hahaha, that's good. However, this move is too shameless. In a few days, the higher-ups will definitely come and find trouble with me. "
"It's not the first time they've found trouble with you. I believe in you."
"F * ck off …"
Zhou Hongyi laughed and scolded, "So they're not looking for trouble with you. However, don't worry, I can handle this kind of thing. However, let me remind you, this method can only be used a few times. It can't be used continuously. "
"I know, a few times is enough."
Chen Yu nodded.
Since there was no problem with Zhou Hongyi's side, Chen Yu was relieved.
As for what would happen on Baidu's side, Chen Yu was looking forward to it.
"Sigh, too bad it can't be streamed. I really want to see Li Yanhong's expression."
He shook his head helplessly.
Sometimes, online battles were like this.
It wasn't as intense as a real battle.
Of course, this was Chen Yu being unreasonable.
Even without looking, Chen Yu knew that Li Yanhong was probably smashing the table.
In fact, this was exactly the case.
When 3721 began to modify his personal homepage, Baidu's technicians found out.
Of course, they didn't find out that 3721 had done anything.
What they found out was that Baidu's IP traffic suddenly plummeted.
Under normal circumstances, a well-run website wouldn't have such a plunge. Even if they were defeated by competitors, their IP traffic would drop regularly. However, Baidu's plunge was a precipitous plunge. From their experience, there were only two possibilities for such a plunge.
One was that the server crashed.
However, the server was running normally.
The other was that the internet was disconnected.
One was that Baidu was disconnected, and the other was that a large number of users were disconnected.
Baidu naturally didn't disconnect.
However, it was impossible for a large number of users to be disconnected.
For this reason, they specifically called the telecommunications department and got the answer that no area was disconnected.
Finally, they found the truth.
The king of rogue software, 3721, had made a move on Baidu.
Bang …
"Bastard."
"Zhou Hongyi, I'll kill you."
In the office, Li Yanhong really smashed the table.
