"This?"
Even Li Yanhong, who had always had a high IQ, did not expect such a situation.
Is this my fault?
Li Yanhong wanted to explain to the major internet companies that he did not say anything bad about them.
But his explanation was of no use.
It was also because of Baidu's report to the relevant departments that it eventually led to a collective reorganization of the internet companies.
This was great.
The higher-ups had taken action. How could the major companies be so clean?
Many of their businesses were banned.
Even if they were not banned, their vitality was greatly damaged.
All of a sudden, the anger of all the companies was vented on Baidu.
Because of this, several companies also jointly reported to the relevant departments at this time.
Reported Baidu's bidding ranking.
Apart from that, many media outlets also reported Baidu's Baidu music and Baidu's pictures for infringement.
At this time, Baidu knew that Baidu's Baidu Encyclopedia was also involved in infringement.
According to the chief editor of Shin-Lang website, a considerable part of Baidu's Baidu Encyclopedia was copied from their website.
But Baidu kept using the excuse that the users' private uploads had nothing to do with them.
In the end, the higher-ups once again focused on Baidu's investigation.
Three days later.
Baidu finally gave in and said that they did have more problems with the audit. At the same time, they would re-audit all their businesses and selectively remove infringing content from the shelves.
Of course, this was not a particularly big impact for Baidu.
It was just an audit, and more auditors would be enough.
But this time, the higher-ups not only asked them to re-audit, they also punished Baidu.
First, a fine of five million yuan.
This was not a big deal for Baidu.
But then, they ordered Baidu's bidding ranking system to go offline. They would only go online when the audit was completed.
This action directly made Li Yanhong dizzy.
He now understood why so many internet companies were so angry at him.
Their profits suddenly decreased by a few percent. This was a huge feud.
…
"Beautiful. Chen Yu, this move of yours is really beautiful."
Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 3721, said excitedly when he saw the punishment for Baidu.
Although the punishment from the higher-ups was only to temporarily suspend Baidu's bidding ranking, it was not a permanent ban. However, this temporary downtime had a huge impact on Baidu's bidding ranking. This clearly showed that the higher-ups had opinions about this kind of bidding ranking. Even if they were to go online again, the profits would not be as good as before.
Especially after this punishment, Baidu's following series of actions would be restricted. It would be impossible for them to be as bold as before. For Huanyu Technology, this was simply a great advantage.
In addition, Baidu's report had caused a lot of companies to hate Baidu. This was also a huge benefit for Huanyu Technologies.
It might not be obvious in a short period of time, but as time passed, the benefits would naturally show themselves.
"What tricks do I have? I didn't do anything."
Chen Yu was trying to protect himself at that time. How could he have thought of Baidu?
"Stop it. If not for you, 3721 would have been punished by the higher-ups."
Zhou Hongyi was very impressed with Chen Yu's grasp of the situation.
At that time, he did not understand what the higher-ups were doing.
He thought that the higher-ups were here to mediate.
Who knew that the higher-ups were not only here to mediate, but also to reorganize.
Now that he thought about it, it made sense.
The higher-ups had previously introduced the Internet trial to regulate Internet companies.
Since you did not take him seriously, then the higher-ups would let you see the consequences of not taking him seriously.
"However, Chen Yu, after Baidu's incident, 3721 will not be able to sell well?"
"No."
Chen Yu shook his head. "I think it can be sold at a high price."
"Why?"
Zhou Hongyi shook his head. "The higher-ups are cracking down on all kinds of unfair competition. To be honest, many of our 3721's businesses were obtained through unfair competition. Although the market is huge, if we use some tricks, the higher-ups will notice. "
"The higher-ups are not that stupid."
Chen Yu said, "This kind of reorganization can't be done every day. If it continues like this, the Internet industry will not be able to develop."
How should he put it?
It was not just the Internet industry. Almost any industry did not have much glory in the beginning.
However, even if it was not glorious, he still had to develop.
Since he wanted to develop, the higher-ups had to continue supporting him.
Even if the higher-ups knew that there were many problems, they still had to help him up.
At most, they would wait for the entire industry to become bigger and stronger, then they would reorganize again.
The reason why Chen Yu could see clearly was not because he had connections, nor was it because he had someone above him.
It was because the Internet in his previous life had developed this way for decades.
"You're right."
Zhou Hongyi nodded. "However, Chen Yu, you have to raise the price for me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely raise the price."
The biggest beneficiary of 3721's move was Huanyu Technologies.
It was normal for Huanyu Technologies to raise the price.
However, Chen Yu knew that even if he did not raise the price, 3721 would sell for a sky-high price.
As for why?
It was because there were a lot of companies interested in 3721.
In fact, it was just as Chen Yu said.
It wasn't just Huanyu Technology. After 3721 revealed its intention to sell to the industry, several companies instantly expressed their interest in 3721.
The first company to express interest in 3721 was Yahoo.
Yahoo had entered China a long time ago. However, Yahoo's development in China was not very smooth.
Even so, as the global Internet leader, Yahoo had a lot of ambition.
Yahoo, who wanted to return to the search market, was naturally very interested in 3721.
Of course, from an outsider's point of view, 3721 did not do search and would not be of much help to Yahoo.
In fact, 3721's real name was a search in another sense.
However, this was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that 3721 was an IE plug-in and had a huge market share.
What did this mean?
This meant that if 3721 wanted to, he could enter the search market instantly.
Yes.
To put it bluntly, 3721, as an IE plug-in, had essentially kidnapped IE.
He could automatically change his personal homepage and add new search plugins.
In addition, he had other functions that no one could imagine.
However, it was not only Yahoo that was interested in 3721. Baidu was also interested in 3721.
Was there a need to ask why they were interested?
A hooligan that could block half of Baidu's IP traffic. It would be strange if they were not interested.
However, they knew that 3721 would not dare to do this in the future.
But this was not important.
The important thing was, if 3721 did this again, who would he look for?
Would there be another report?
Did the previous report make him public enemy number one?
Furthermore, he did not know if Baidu could handle it.
Other than Yahoo and Baidu, Microsoft also expressed interest in 3721.
This was not surprising.
IE was one of Microsoft's most important applications. Microsoft was unhappy with 3721 kidnapping IE.
For a long time, Microsoft felt that their IE had become 3721's product.
In fact, this was the case.
As long as 3721 wanted, the entire IE browser could be used for 3721.
But even if they were unhappy, they could not do anything about 3721's hooligan software.
IE was not an anti-virus software. How could it deal with 3721?
Not to mention Internet Explorer, even anti-virus software would not be able to remove this disgusting 3721.
Since they could not do anything about it, the best way was to acquire them.
Yes. Microsoft, which has always been rich, thinks this way.
In addition, IBM, Sohu, Shin-Lang … … all sent people to contact 3721.
Obviously … …
3721 had only sent out a statement of interest, and dozens of companies had already made offers.
